August 18th, the third day of military training in the field.

Early morning,

The sun slowly passes through the clouds and shines on the world.

"Ah!"

"Another good night."

Nero stretched and climbed out of his sleeping bag.

"Gastly, Gastly~"

A black, gaseous figure floated in front of him, staring at Nero with big white eyes and extending a long scarlet tongue to lick Nero's face.

Nero wiped the saliva from his face with a handkerchief, expressionless, then looked at Gastly and said, "Stop causing trouble; we mustn't make any mistakes in our actions today."

"Bokaboka!"

Gastly smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Nero nodded in satisfaction, then opened the map and murmured softly, "Now we're located in the center of the higher-level Pokémon area, and it's still two or three hours to the Professional Pokémon area."

"Let's aim to reach the Professional Pokémon area before noon, then start moving."

"Understood?" Nero turned to look at Gastly.

"Jie jie jie!" Gastly gave a creepy smile and nodded quickly.

But Nero shook his head and murmured, "Forget it. I wasn't counting on you anyway."

"Boka!!!"

Gastly's face changed, and he looked at Nero with an aggrieved expression.

Nero and Gastly stared at each other for a moment before Nero explained, "You have more important things to do."

"Gastly…"

Gastly smiled when he heard this.

After calming down, Nero's eyes flashed, and he said to himself, "If I can actually do it, then I can directly gain 500 points, so…"

"My ranking will rise to…"

Nero took out his phone and opened the leaderboard.

"Oh! I could go straight to 32nd place, not bad."

"If I let others know that a student from my research department can also enter the top 50… hehe, I'm already looking forward to their reactions."

Nero began to fantasize, a bright smile on his face.

"Speaking of which, the top two are still those two, right? Brother Bin Dragneel and Azalea Percovich, both maniacs competing for first place."

Nero muttered as he scrolled the rankings to the top.

But the standings caught his attention, leaving him puzzled for a while.

*[Azalea Percovich, 2200 points, rank 1]*

*[Bruce Bayne, 2150 points, rank 2]*

*[Bin Dragneel, 1600 points, rank 3]*

"It makes sense for Azalea to be first, but who is this second person?"

"A dark horse that appeared out of nowhere?"

"And the gap between the two is only 50 points; the difference is so small, it can practically be ignored."

Nero's eyes flickered, his brows furrowed suddenly, a flash of light in his mind as he whispered, "Wait a minute."

"I remember that roommate who didn't want to team up with me—wasn't his name Bruce?"

"Yes, Bruce!" After thinking about it carefully, Nero nodded in confirmation.

Then Nero muttered to himself, "Tsk tsk, if my roommate sees that the student with the same name as him is ranked second, I wonder how he'll feel."

"Speaking of which, this person is quite powerful, nearly tying Azalea and Brother Bin in points, he's something."

"When I get out, I'll have to meet Bruce and get to know him."

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, Nero pocketed the mic, and headed toward the Professional Pokémon area.

*Noon,*

Nero successfully entered the Professional Pokémon area and stood in an open space.

"As expected of the Professional Pokémon area, I haven't seen a single Pokémon after walking for so long." Nero looked at the surrounding environment and murmured softly.

"This place will do. There are trees nearby for observing from above, and the path is smooth, allowing a quick escape if the plan fails." Nero nodded, quite satisfied with this spot.

"In that case, let's get to it!" Nero clapped his hands and said loudly.

"Gastly, Gastly~~"

Gastly floated around, cheering on Nero.

Nero took a Poké Ball from his waist, raised his hand, and threw it: "It's up to you, big guy!"

A white light flashed, and an orange Pokémon appeared beside Nero. It had a round head disproportionate to its body and short limbs.

"Trapinch, please dig a hole here, as deep as you can." Nero gestured and said.

Trapinch remained silent, with its star-shaped eyes fixed on the ground.

Trapinch builds a bowl-shaped nest in the desert, waiting for prey to fall into it without moving. It's an excellent digger.

Soon,

Thanks to Trapinch's digging, a hole several meters deep formed in the center of the open space. Nero stood in the hole and looked down, then nodded in satisfaction.

After retrieving Trapinch, he said, "Now for a bit of camouflage."

Nero and Gastly worked separately, first finding some small branches to drape over, then laying a shallow layer of leaves to cover the hole.

Although this trap was simple and entirely different from the surrounding terrain, Nero still wore a satisfied smile.

"It all depends on human effort."

He muttered a few words, then took out a can of energy cubes from his backpack, first placing some in the hole and then setting them along the path.

Looking at the empty energy cube container, Nero seemed resolute and said deeply, "Can't let go of the kids and can't let go of the wolves."

"As long as there's a greedy Pokémon, no matter where it comes from, it will definitely pick up energy cubes along the way."

"There's no danger ahead, so it'll gradually let its guard down, and finally, when it sees the energy cube in the hole, its guard will be down to zero, and it'll sit on it."

"Hey, then…"

"Gastly, Gastly, Gastly~~"

Nero and his starter Pokémon, Gastly, grinned sinisterly.

"Alright, now let's find a hiding spot and wait for the prey to take the bait," Nero said.

—"Combusken, finish with Flamethrower!"—Bruce snapped his fingers, his black hair swaying in the breeze.

—"Combusken!"—

Combusken opened its mouth and instantly gathered a searing column of flame, directly engulfing the opposing Poison Moth Pokémon.

The flames dissipated, and the Poison Moth weakly flapped its wings and fell directly from the air, losing its ability to fight.

"Very good, the second Professional Pokémon today, taken!" A slight smile appeared on Bruce's face.

—"Combusken!"—

Combusken turned, also showing a satisfied smile.

Earlier this morning, Bruce had taken Combusken to start leveling up again.

He spent the entire morning successfully finding two Professional Pokémon and defeating them.

As a result, Bruce's points reached 3150, far ahead of second place, Azalea Percovich.

Speaking of which, Azalea is really outrageous, Bruce took a special look at the standings last night before the rest, still far behind her.

But when he woke up, Azalea Percovich counterattacked and became the first place, 50 points ahead of her.

- Doesn't she rest at night?

"Searching for Pokémon all night?"

Of course, as time goes on, the gap between Bruce and the latter two will only grow wider and wider, until it makes them completely hopeless.

This is a gap that cannot be filled.

The current rankings show this trend.

[Bruce Bayne, 3150 points, rank 1].

[Azalea Percovich, 2500 points, rank 2]

[Bin Dragneel, 2350 points, rank 3]

Bruce is far ahead, and Azalea, who ranks second, has 650 points. This difference is already very, very big.

"A lot of people should already know that I have a Pokémon Professional, right?"

"Well, who cares, leveling up is the most important thing."

Bruce shook his head, dismissed the confused thoughts and prepared to rest for a while, after lunch, to continue leveling up.

college hall,

"Well, let me tell you, it's pretty outrageous." Rasmus lifted his chin and looked at the two members of the school team standing next to him.

"It's really outrageous. Bin Dragneel on my side did his best to defeat three older Pokémon, and the result is that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger..." the wispy-haired young man said.

The man with square glasses said, "Azalea Percovich , for my part, is the same. She's worked very hard, but she can't catch up at all..."

Rasmus smiled and said, "Of course, after all, Bruce's Combusken is on Professional's level and the gap will only get bigger and bigger."

The young man sighed, "I thought Azalea Percovich and Bin Dragneel were perverts enough, but Bruce came out, how desperate this freshman class is!"

The bespectacled man nodded his head and continued, "Yes, there is a big difference in strength between the Professional level and the senior level.

Immediately after, he said again in a low voice, "My Ivysaur just reached the Professional level some time ago..."

Rasmus patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't compare yourself to this pervert, you're the only one who's sad."

"By the way, Azalea Percovich didn't rest last night, but today she only took a two-hour nap. Is it because..." The bespectacled man hesitated to speak.

Rasmus nodded slightly and said with a smile, "There is nothing to say, the Calm Mind method of the Northern Psychic Dojo is well known."

"As a gifted psychic type girl, Azalea has already mastered the Calm Mind method," Rasmus said.

"Two hours of rest is equivalent to eight hours of rest for ordinary people."

"I heard that this Calm Mind method can also exercise mental strength," the young man added.

"That's right." Rasmus nodded, then shook his head and said, "But none of this has anything to do with us.

"Yes..." A long sigh was heard.

They are not psychic and are doomed to not master the Calm Mind method.

"Brother Rasmus, why is Azalea Percovich working so hard? Can you count yourself as earning points 24 hours a day?" the bespectacled man wondered.

Hearing this, Rasmus shrugged and replied, "Who knows, it may be because I'm used to being number one since I was a kid and I want to be number one no matter what."

"When she joins the school team, can you just ask her?"

The bespectacled man shook his head repeatedly like a rattle and said, "Forget it, I heard that this person is not easy to get along with."

"Are you full?"

Looking at Combusken who finished eating, Bruce asked loudly.

"Combusken!!!"

Combusken pointed to his slightly distended belly and nodded.

"That's right, let's rest for half an hour and go," Bruce said, ready to get up and pick up the unfinished 017 energy cubes.

It's very scientific to do vigorous exercise half an hour after a meal.

"Combusken!!!"

Suddenly, Combusken turned his head and looked with piercing eyes toward the grass on the left.

"Are there any Pokémon?" asked Bruce lightly as he reached for the tray.

These wild Pokémon always like to appear suddenly out of the grass, and he'd already seen it.

-Combusken! -Combusken nodded.

Then, a huge Pokémon slowly walked out, its red eyes fixed on the energy cube in the dining bowl.

It is approximately two meters tall, with steady eyes, a pair of very long horns on the top of its head, and a layer of foliage covering its back.

[ Pokémon: Gogoat (plant).

Ability: Herbivore

Qualification: Gym

Level: Lv37 (Professional)]

Gogoat, the evolutionary form of Skiddo, the first two letters of its name have already explained the major use of this Pokémon.

In mountainous terrain, Gogoat is the most suitable mount Pokémon.

"The Pokémon scholar who gave it that name has absolutely malicious intentions and directly decided its fate," Bruce thought to himself.

Seeing that Gogoat was looking intently at the energy cube in its bowl, Bruce's eyes flickered and an idea appeared in his heart.

Then Bruce flashed a friendly smile and asked Gogoat, "Do you want it?"

Gogoat didn't answer, he was still looking at the power cube.

In fact, Gogoat has a very docile personality and is more friendly with humans. If it's another Pokémon, it will catch it directly.

"Defeat it, these are all yours." Bruce first pointed at the Combusken next to him and then pointed at the energy cube.

This time, Gogoat rolled his eyes and then let out a low voice, "Ah!"

Bruce understood that this was a response to express his consent.

-Combusken!

Combusken stepped forward and faced Gogoat.

"RING!!!"

Gogoat's eyes froze and he took the initiative in the attack. Two vine whips appeared out of nowhere on either side of his body and quickly grew longer, with fierce momentum, and headed towards Combusken!

"Double team," Bruce said calmly.

Jutsu, Jutsu, Jutsu!

In an instant, countless clones of Combusken appeared in the open space, occupying the entire open space.

"Ring!"

Gogoat's eyes flickered, Vine Whip waved, threw Sonic Boom and dashed sideways towards Combusken's clone.

This Gogoat has a very high level and rich combat experience, but it's a pity that he's facing Combusken.
