"Finally, Feebas evolved. No, you should be called Milotic now."
Her slender and graceful figure transformed from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, successfully achieving a comeback.

Her colorful scaled tail shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight. Jiang Chen extended his hand towards Milotic, and Milotic rubbed its head against his hand.
"Now that you've evolved, you'll also need to train from now on," Jiang Chen said to Milotic. He didn't want his Milotic to be just a pretty face, a useless vase. If it didn't work hard, it would be a waste of the Blue Orb.
"Nah~!" Milotic nodded to Jiang Chen. Perhaps because Jiang Chen spent time communicating with it every day and never disliked it when it was still Feebas, Milotic was very close to Jiang Chen.
Milotic was originally a gentle-natured Pokémon. Even if Ning Ya touched it, it wouldn't reject her. Additionally, Milotic had a special ability; simply being near it seemed to bring a sense of tranquility, and bad moods would improve.
"Milotic, come try the Pokéblocks I just made." Ning Ya took out a Pokéblock and offered it. Milotic didn't refuse, opening its small mouth and eating it.
High-grade Pokéblocks were not only more effective but also tasted better than ordinary ones. Currently, these high-grade Pokéblocks were the favorite food of all of Jiang Chen's Pokémon.
Today, it wasn't just Milotic that evolved; Eevee and Bulbasaur also evolved. This Eevee was the one awarded by the school last time. It successfully evolved into an Espeon, an incredibly elegant feline-like Pokémon. Eevee's appearance leans more towards a fox, but after evolution, its species clearly changed. However, Pokémon should not be viewed with common sense.

Jiang Chen rubbed Espeon's head, then looked at Ivysaur.

"I wonder when you'll evolve into a energetic Slaking."
(Moves: Psychic, Solar Beam)
Jiang Chen glanced at Slakoth. Right now, Jiang Chen most wanted Slakoth to evolve. This guy was always lazy and sluggish without evolving. Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Slakoth glanced at him, then rolled over and continued to play dead.
Since three Pokémon evolved today, Jiang Chen was in a good mood and temporarily let Slakoth off the hook.
Feebas evolved, a piece of good news Jiang Chen shared with Xiao Luoxue.
"Your Feebas evolved, why hasn't mine?" After seeing Jiang Chen's Milotic in the video call, Xiao Luoxue's eyes filled with envy. Although her Feebas was well-cared for and she was very attentive, it just wouldn't evolve. "Is there some secret trick? Please don't be stingy about sharing it with me. I really want a Milotic." She wanted a Milotic so badly.
Jiang Chen felt that Feebas's evolution was definitely related to the Blue Orb. "What secret trick? But if you trust me, you can transfer your Feebas over. I'll train it for two days, and maybe it will evolve."
"Okay, I'll transfer Feebas to you." This world also had Pokémon transfer machines. No matter how far apart, Pokémon could be transferred. Coincidentally, they had a transfer machine at home. Soon, the Poké Ball containing Feebas was transferred by Xiao Luoxue using the machine.
"I'm counting on you. If you help my Feebas evolve into Milotic, then after the New Trainer Competition begins, if we meet, I'll go easy on you; I won't let you lose too badly." Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised that Xiao Luoxue dared to boast like that.
"Heh heh, I should be saying that to you. Did you forget how you lost to me last time?"
"Just you wait, I'll definitely get my revenge this time." Xiao Luoxue's face was filled with boundless confidence.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh at the confidence on Xiao Luoxue's face. "Who gave you this confidence?"
"Of course, myself." Xiao Luoxue rolled her eyes: "If I don't even have confidence in myself, how can I talk about defeating you? In short, I will have my revenge. If you don't want to lose to me, work hard."
"I think you're the one who should work hard. Let me show you my lineup." Jiang Chen turned his phone, filming his Pokémon. Gardevoir, Dragonite, Metagross, Garchomp, Lucario, Blastoise, Wobbuffet, Nidoqueen, etc. Their aura alone showed they were extraordinary. "How about it? Who should be working hard now?"
"Goodbye." After saying goodbye, Xiao Luoxue directly ended the video call. Her Gabite had also evolved into a Garchomp, and her Pignite had evolved into an Emboar. Even her Ivysaur was not far from evolving into a Venusaur, but after seeing Jiang Chen's lineup, she instantly felt a little overwhelmed.
So quickly, all of his Pokémon had evolved. How much time had passed? Although evolving didn't necessarily mean immense strength, Jiang Chen's Pokémon, just by their appearance, were definitely not weak.
After showing off a bit, Jiang Chen released Xiao Luoxue's Feebas. "Your owner should have instructed you earlier, right? You'll be staying with me for a while." Jiang Chen placed a high-grade Pokéblock in the pond in the villa's courtyard. Then, Jiang Chen also placed the Blue Orb inside. Blastoise, Milotic, and Ning Ya's Samurott were all currently lounging in or by the pond.
Although it was a fountain pond, it wasn't small. They didn't feel crowded at all, and even swimming inside was fine. There were too many Pokémon, and their size had increased after evolving. Although his room wasn't small, it was clearly not suitable to squeeze all of them into his room.
Although he could let them rest inside Poké Balls, Jiang Chen was used to letting them stay outside at night. Moreover, inside Poké Balls, they couldn't use the plates or orbs to increase their strength.
Now at night, Jiang Chen let most of them rest in the courtyard. Only the incredibly clingy Gardevoir and Espeon followed Jiang Chen into his room.
[Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations, Host, you have received: Master Ball x1, Points +100]
In the morning, a groggy Jiang Chen habitually signed in. Upon hearing the system notification about the sign-in item, he immediately perked up. "Master Ball, my luck is so good today." Jiang Chen looked at the Master Ball in front of him.
"However, a Master Ball isn't that useful in this reality." Even if one used a Master Ball to catch a Champion-level Pokémon, if that Pokémon didn't acknowledge you, it would be useless. If it acknowledged you, it didn't matter whether you used a Master Ball or not.
[Host, although Master Balls cannot trap Legendary Pokémon, only Master Balls can contain the terrifying power of Legendary Pokémon. Other Poké Balls cannot capture Legendary Pokémon at all!] Just as Jiang Chen thought the Master Ball wasn't particularly useful, the system immediately changed Jiang Chen's mind.
Even if one gained a Legendary Pokémon's acknowledgment and it was willing to follow, the power they unintentionally released was too much for ordinary Poké Balls to withstand. Only Master Balls could withstand it. Of course, if a Legendary Pokémon intentionally tried to break free, even a Master Ball couldn't hold it. Even a Master Ball couldn't trap a Legendary Pokémon; they could easily break free.
"I'll keep it for now." Jiang Chen put away the Master Ball.
After breakfast, he took the insulated bento box Ning Ya had prepared for his lunch, then had Gardevoir take him to school. "Teleportation is too convenient for traveling.
No wonder many psychics are sports idiots, even gasping for breath after walking two steps," Jiang Chen muttered to himself on the way to school.
Many psychics used their psychic abilities for everything. They would float in the air with telekinesis instead of walking, their feet never touching the ground. But long-term reliance on psychic abilities without exercise would make their physical bodies very weak.
Although Jiang Chen had psychic abilities, he wouldn't rely on them. He even exercised his body with his Pokémon when training them.
"Your Vibrava evolved into a Flygon yesterday," Jiang Chen said, handing a Poké Ball to Ling Wanqiu.
"Thank you." Thanks to Jiang Chen's help, her Pokémon evolved at least a week earlier.
"This is my dad's training experience for Lucario." Ling Wanqiu handed a notebook to Jiang Chen. Previously, Ling Wanqiu had given Jiang Chen one copy, but this one was more detailed. She had pestered her dad to write it down.
Jiang Chen didn't stand on ceremony with Ling Wanqiu and directly took the notebook. This thing was indeed very useful to him. Training Lucario was not as simple as Gardevoir, Metagross, Dragonite, and Garchomp.
Jiang Chen had no items to help Lucario quickly increase its strength. So Lucario needed to rely more on its own efforts.
After training Pokémon in the morning, and just finishing lunch, Old Zhang sent someone to call Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu to his office.
Arriving there, Jiang Chen found the principal was also there, as well as Wang Xin and several others who would be participating in the New Trainer Competition.
"This is some intelligence I gathered by using the school's connections. These are the strong enemies you might encounter in the New Trainer Competition. Take a look." Principal Qin Deming had Old Zhang hand out the stacks of documents.
"Do I have to read all of this? It's so thick!" Jiang Chen looked at the thick stack, and the densely packed small print on it, feeling his scalp tingle. Was collecting opponent data that meticulous?
"It's best to read all of it. 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.' We collect others' data, and others will also collect ours," Qin Deming said to Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, whether our school can win the New Trainer Competition's championship depends on you." Qin Deming had high hopes for Jiang Chen.
"Your batch is different from previous ones. This batch truly has many talented individuals. No one can be underestimated." This wasn't praise, but a fact. Among the trainers graduating this year, very few from previous batches could compare. This batch had too many talented individuals with strong backgrounds.
"Principal, if we win the championship, will the school have any rewards? For example, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon." Jiang Chen asked Qin Deming with a smile.
Qin Deming's lips twitched. Why did he immediately ask about a pseudo-legendary? Young man, do you know how difficult a pseudo-legendary is to obtain?
"If anyone wins the championship, they can indeed be rewarded with a pseudo-legendary. Entering the top eight will earn a starter Pokémon." Seeing Qin Deming agree, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. The eyes of others couldn't help but light up, then quickly dimmed.
The reward for winning the New Trainer Competition was a pseudo-legendary. Coupled with the pseudo-legendary the school promised, that was the temptation of two pseudo-legendaries. The temptation was indeed great; no one could resist the allure of two pseudo-legendaries.
However, no matter how great the temptation of pseudo-legendaries, they knew their own strength and had no chance of competing. They weren't even confident about getting a starter Pokémon for reaching the top eight.
If the intensity were the same as previous years, Mo Yangjia would have been confident in competing for a spot in the top eight, and even for the championship.
But just as the principal said, this batch of trainers was too strong; there were too many geniuses. In front of so many talented individuals with backgrounds, even though Mo Yangjia was also a genius, he wasn't outstanding.
Afterward, the principal gave another speech, motivating their fighting spirit, then had Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu stay, while letting the others leave.
"Previously, we claimed to be the number one Pokémon Academy in the country. Now we're in a difficult position. If we don't win the championship this time, we'll lose all face."
"So, even for our school's reputation, you two must compete for the championship." "These are some training insights I obtained at a considerable cost. Take a look." Qin Deming took out some genuine items this time: insights from Elite Four trainers on training Pokémon. These were treasures, and obtaining them wasn't easy.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I need to ask you two." "What is it, Principal? Please tell us first." Jiang Chen was a little curious about what the principal wanted to ask them. If it was to ask them to compete for the championship, he had already said that, so there was no need to ask again.
"I have a grandson named Qin Xiao, and he will also be participating in this New Trainer Competition." "Principal, you're not going to ask us to go easy on him if we meet, are you? That's impossible. I will go all out against anyone in the competition," Ling Wanqiu said to Qin Deming.
"No, Student Ling Wanqiu, you misunderstood." Qin Deming shook his head: "What I'm asking you to do is the exact opposite of what you said." "If you encounter Qin Xiao, I hope you hit him a little harder."
Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu exchanged glances, their expressions a little strange.
"Cough, cough, Principal, please don't mind my directness, but if I may be so bold, is Qin Xiao your biological grandson?" "Of course he's my biological grandson." Qin Deming glared at Jiang Chen, stroking his beard.
"I'm asking you to hit him harder because his personality is too rebellious. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I want you to make him understand that there are always others who are better than you."
His grandson had good talent, but his personality was too stubborn and rebellious. When he first told him to enter Tianhai Pokémon Academy, the kid stubbornly refused. Now his personality is arrogant and a bit conceited.
