The Chapter get Retranslated
"I'm not indecisive; I have my own ideas. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
Jiang Chen explained to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan nodded, knowing that Jiang Chen had always been very independent.
"By the way, I've awakened Aura Power, which is why I want a Riolu. Dad, can you help me find some methods for cultivating Aura Power?"
Currently, Jiang Chen's Aura Power is still very weak, and he doesn't know how to strengthen his aura.
"You've awakened Aura Power?" Jiang Yuan's face showed pleasant surprise.
He had learned about Aura Power from the data found in the ruins, but so far, only a handful of people worldwide had awakened it.
"My son can become an Aura Guardian, can't he?"
Xie Yulan was equally surprised.
"Mom, I don't want to be called an Aura Guardian by others."
Jiang Chen quickly said. Aaron was known as the Aura Guardian because he sacrificed himself. Jiang Chen doesn't possess such noble self-sacrifice or altruistic sentiments.
"Right, right, right. Just being an Aura User is good enough. Forget about Aura Guardian."
Aura Guardian has a big name, envious, right? Bought with one's life.
"Then we must get you a Riolu with good potential."
Jiang Yuan frowned in thought.
Getting a Riolu was not difficult for him, but the real challenge was getting one with good potential.
"Actually, even if the potential is a bit lower, it's fine."
Jiang Chen's system has items that can boost innate potential, but they are expensive and require a lot of points.
"That won't do. Potential is too important for Pokémon."
Jiang Yuan deeply understood this. The reason there are so few Elite Four Members and Champions, besides the difficult assessments, is because there are too few Pokémon with high potential.
For example, his six ace Pokémon: Dragonite, Charizard, and Salamence. The other three Pokémon have already reached their limit.
They will never reach Champion-level in this lifetime. If he wants to go further in the future, he can only capture and train Pokémon with higher potential.
Pokémon with good potential grow quickly and have a bright future, while Pokémon with poor potential grow slowly and have no future.
"I do have some connections. I can't promise you a Riolu with Champion potential, but at least Elite Four potential."
Even if it means owing some favors, he'll get it.
"Then I look forward to your good news, Dad."
"Sir, Madam, Young Master, dinner is ready."
Ning Ya walked over and said. She is the family's housekeeper, and since his father and mother are usually busy, Ning Ya mostly takes care of Jiang Chen.
And Ning Ya is also a Pokémon Breeder; she feeds all the Pokémon in the house.
There are many Pokémon in the house. His father's Pokémon caught when he was young are all at home.
To introduce, Jiang Chen's house is very large. Not to mention the front courtyard which is almost as big as a football field, the mountain behind is also part of Jiang Chen's property.
The Pokémon Jiang Yuan caught that couldn't become mainstays, aside from a few stronger ones that formed a second team, all others live on the back mountain.
After dinner, Jiang Yuan gave Jiang Chen a notebook. Although it was just a notebook, it was actually priceless.
This notebook records battle tactics and methods for raising Pokémon.
An Elite Four Member's experience notebook is more valuable than a Pseudo-Legendary, and having it can save many detours.
The next day, his father left early in the morning, and his mother also went to work.
"Sister Ning Ya, please take me to school."
Jiang Chen hung his Poké Balls on his waist.
"Yes, Young Master."
Ning Ya drove Jiang Chen to school.
At school, Jiang Chen was quite famous, being the son of an Elite Four Member, he received a lot of attention.
And Jiang Chen is handsome too. His parents have excellent genes, so of course he wouldn't be bad. Moreover, his academic performance at school was also among the top.
"Young Master, I'm heading back now."
"Sister Ning Ya, please take good care of that Pokémon Egg in my room."
That was a Shiny Ralts. Shiny Pokémon are differently colored Pokémon, often unpopular within their groups as anomalies, but such Pokémon are usually special, in other words, mutated.
Mutations can be for the better or for the worse.
It all depends on luck.
After giving his instructions, Jiang Chen entered the school. It was clear that the students in the class were very excited today.
For most students, today was the day they would own their very own Pokémon.
Tianhai Pokémon Academy in Tianhai City has a resounding reputation nationwide, second only to the Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy.
Those with good grades are in the elite class, while those with poor grades are in the regular class. Jiang Chen is a member of the elite class.
"Jiang Chen, what are you planning to choose?"
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Chen's deskmate, Zhao Qian, asked him.
"It's a secret. You'll know after I choose."
Jiang Chen looked mysterious.
"Students, quiet down. Those whose names I call, please follow me to the school's breeding facility."
At this moment, their homeroom teacher walked in, holding a list.
"Gao Ping."
"Ling Wanqiu."
"Jiang Chen."
"Zhao Qian."
"..."
Looking at the twenty-something students whose names were called, the homeroom teacher smiled and said, "Follow me."
These people whose names were called are all eligible to receive a Starter Pokémon.
To receive a Starter Pokémon, one needs to pay 100,000 League currency annually from birth until the age of fifteen. This is a privilege for the wealthy; ordinary people cannot afford this fee. Those who pay 10,000 League currency annually can receive Pokémon like Sandshrew, Nidoran♂, or Geodude.
As for those who haven't paid a penny, sorry, you'll need to provide your own Pokémon, as the school won't provide any.
This is how the world is; reality is that cruel.
The starting points for the rich and the poor are completely different.
Do ordinary people have a chance? Of course, it's not impossible. If your grades are exceptionally good and the school recognizes your potential, the school might reward you with a Starter Pokémon.
This is an investment in geniuses. If they truly grow, it benefits both the school and the country.
"This time, you can choose from Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip."
The homeroom teacher explained to Jiang Chen and the others.
"What a shame, I actually like Chimchar the most."
Zhao Qian looked regretful.
After Chimchar evolves into Infernape, it's both handsome and powerful, which Zhao Qian particularly likes.
"Torchic isn't bad either. Its final evolution is Fire/Fighting-type, just like Infernape."
Jiang Chen pointed at Torchic. After evolving into Blaziken, its offensive stats are very high, indeed a good choice.
Quickly scanning the options, Jiang Chen's gaze landed on a Squirtle.
[Squirtle]
Gender: Male
Strength: Normal Stage One
Innate Potential: Elite Four Member
Type: Water
Ability: Torrent
Moves: Tackle, Withdraw, Water Gun
"Teacher, I choose this Squirtle."
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen chose this Squirtle. Although he preferred Charmander, reality required him to be more rational. Among the available Pokémon, this Squirtle had the best potential. Squirtle isn't bad either.
