Chapter 18: Admitted to Metropolis University
The certification of a senior-level Trainer is very simple, and it is enough to defeat a Pokemon that has just entered the senior level.
According to Bruce's understanding, the same applies to the certification of elite trainers, which is very simple and crude.
But if you want to become a professional trainer, the difficulty suddenly increases a lot.
"The Ace level is an obstacle," Bruce murmured to himself, looking at the advanced trainer certificate in his hand.
The basic requirement for an Ace Trainer is three Pokemon with Ace-level strength, which stops 90% of Trainers at the Professional level.
If the Professional level represents the maximum combat power of each Region and is the unbreakable cornerstone, then the professional Ace is the backbone and cannot be ignored.
Fairbay City is one of the major cities in the southwest region. Ace-level Trainers can be considered the upper class of society here, and their status is evident.
"Moreover, the minimum requirement to participate in the Avalon Conference is Ace-level," Bruce's eyes flickered, thinking to himself.
The Avalon Conference is a high-level event exclusive to the Avalon Region. It is held once a year, and countless trainers participate, all fighting for the championship.
To participate in the Avalon Conference, the first requirement is to be an Ace-level trainer, and the second requirement is to obtain eight badges by challenging gyms.
As long as these two points are achieved, they will be eligible to enter the elimination round of the Avalon Conference.
As the Gym Leader in the southern city of Fairbay, William receives countless challengers from various cities every year, and they all have one goal: to place the badge in their father's hands.
"The Ace level is just a ticket, the gym level can achieve certain results, and occasionally, there will even be a perverted Master level..."
While thinking about the Avalon Conference, Bruce took a taxi to the outdoor equipment store.
After all, this is his first time venturing into nature, so he must be careful and fully equipped.
Since he didn't have to worry about his card balance, Bruce went straight to the best outdoor equipment store in the city center to buy supplies.
"Basic outdoor clothing should be..."
Basic outdoor clothing, that is, hiking bags, jackets, waterproof hiking boots, trekking poles, and similar items.
In addition, he also bought a batch of essentials, such as insect repellent spray, a multifunctional knife, a power bank, a flashlight, a first aid kit, a sleeping bag for the tent, and so on.
After purchasing all these things, Bruce took a taxi back home.
It was afternoon by then, and William and Emma were not at home.
After packing the items into his hiking bag, Bruce turned on his phone to look for some outdoor teaching videos to see if there were any special precautions.
"Hello, your courier has arrived."
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Bruce looked through the peephole and immediately opened the door. What greeted his eyes was a burly Machoke, carrying a huge backpack.
[Pokemon: Machoke (Fighting)
Ability: Guts
Qualification: Professional
Level: Lv28 (Senior)]
"Hello, I'm your courier."
Next to Machoke was a middle-aged man wearing a red hat and a striking uniform with the words "Tongtong Express" printed on it.
After saying this, the courier handed over a paper envelope.
Bruce took the envelope, confirmed it was his identity information, and thanked the courier aloud, "Thank you."
After closing the door, Bruce thoughtfully looked at the envelope in his hand.
"An envelope..."
"Just as I thought."
"Charlo..." Combusken quickly approached, tilted its head, and stared at the envelope in Bruce's hand.
Bruce smiled, opened the envelope, and indeed saw an admission notice in golden letters on a red and black background, engraved with four bold characters: Metropolis University.
"Of course, it's an admission notice."
Bruce smiled, carefully took out the admission notice, and looked at the information it contained.
Dear student Bruce Bayne, congratulations on being admitted to the Research Department of our school. Please report to our school on August 15.
"As expected, it's the Research Department," Bruce sighed.
Being admitted to the Research Department of Metropolis University was always within Bruce's expectations, so his reaction was relatively calm.
Anyway, whether it's the Research Department or the Battle Department, it won't have much impact on him.
As William said, researchers and Pokemon trainers promote and influence each other, and studying at the same time can lead to greater achievements.
It's a pity that ordinary people have limited energy and it's not easy to specialize in one thing, but Bruce is an exception.
After informing his parents, both reacted calmly. After all, Bruce's grades had always been among the best, so this was expected.
They would have been surprised if he hadn't been admitted to Metropolis University.
But to celebrate, the three of them still had a great outdoor meal.
"Do you want to go to the field tomorrow?"
Back at home, Bruce told his parents that he would be going to the wilderness the next day.
"Yes, this is the next stage of the training plan," Bruce said calmly.
William and Emma exchanged glances when they heard these words, and then Emma said, "Parents support you, this is the only way to become an excellent trainer."
William stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Many years ago, ten-year-old children would start traveling alone after receiving Pokemon and becoming Trainers.""For trainers, field training is essential. All universities will organize military field training for first-year students, and now you can experience it in advance," Emma nodded and said.
A stable living environment cannot cultivate outstanding talents, which is the consensus of all aristocratic families.
Late at night.
Bruce was doing psychic exercises when he suddenly saw his phone on the desk vibrating wildly.
He stopped exercising, turned on his phone, and found that it was a message from the class group.
The class representative asked everyone in the group:
"Brothers and sisters, you should all have received the admission letter, right? Soon, we will go to various places to start university life. Since there is still some time left in the holidays, how about we gather for a meal?"
[Accept!]
[Raise your hands if you agree!]
[1]
There are only ten people in the class group. Since there are so few of them, they know each other very well and discuss things with great interest for a long time.
Bruce's personality is just a bit introverted, not autistic, and he also has good friends in class.
Bruce observed the messages for a long time in the dark and saw the squad leader, Aite, once again.
[Bruce Bayne, this time you have to go, don't stay at home reading!]
The rest of the students echoed.
[Yes, I heard the representative has been admitted to Metropolis University, so you can relax with us!]
[Go out! Let me show you the Pokemon I have conquered!]
[My Dratini smiles contemptuously.]
Bruce shook his head with a smile, thought for a moment, and finally tapped the screen to send a message.
