In the Sequoia forest mystery, the area is vast. With hundreds of freshmen scattered about, it's not easy to encounter many people. The strong walk alone, while the weaker freshmen form teams to battle wild Pokémon.
Among the freshmen, Ethan, the son of the champion, along with several top second-generation students and some talented novice trainers, naturally attracted the most attention.
Somewhere in the valley, a pillar of fire erupted, successfully driving off a Kangaskhan. In front of Kangaskhan stood three Pokémon: Combusken, the fire-type starter of the second generation, Marshtomp, the water-type starter, and Grovyle, the grass-type starter.
Having three starter Pokémon, and being a trainer of all three, is a rarity among freshmen. That distinction belongs to Ethan, the son of a champion.
"Combusken, use Ember!"
"Marshtomp, rush up and use Tackle!"
"Grovyle, use Quick Attack!"
"..."
Ethan's combat strategy was simple: group fighting and team pushing to accelerate the speed of earning points.
Boom—
With a roar, the massive Kangaskhan couldn't withstand the output of Ethan's three starter Pokémon. With a wail, it fell to the ground, stars appearing in its eyes.
"500 points in hand," Ethan confidently noted, not even bothering to check the rankings. With his three starter Pokémon, and a gang-fighting strategy, even rare and powerful Pokémon couldn't withstand the attack of three level 20+ starters, completing the harvest in a very short time. The speed of earning points was very fast.
Additionally, Ethan had stepped into the elite trainer threshold at the age of 18 and was sprinting towards becoming a gym-level trainer, which also made him arrogant, thinking there was no Rival in this military training.
"That said, keep an eye on Rival's progress," Ethan said, flicking his flowing bangs and showing a calm, confident smile.
"Although my strength is very strong, I also need to see how far the chasers behind me are from me. I have to leave room for them to see the back."
With strong self-confidence, Ethan created an extraordinary sense of superiority. Coupled with the familiarity of his champion father, Ethan felt that all this was as it should be.
In school, he was number one. Even Elite, the nephew of the Gym Master, couldn't compare with him.
"Let me see how many points the difference has opened," Ethan said. "That kid Duanmu Lei still wants to challenge me, it's just fantastic."
Actually, points rankings are synchronized. On the locator, there is a small screen to view.
After fighting all morning, Ethan checked the points ranking for the first time.
When he saw the first name, Ethan was stunned on the spot.
---
**Real-time Points Ranking:**
1. Alex: 7400 points
2. Ethan: 3700 points
3. Duanmu Lei: 2100 points
...
10. Wendy: 1600 points

"Damn!"
"I'm not number one?"
"Where did this Alex come from?"
Ethan exploded at that time. His brows furrowed tightly, and his expression turned ugly. He originally thought he would widen the gap between himself and the other second-generation students, but he didn't expect Alex to blow him away by exactly double!
Ethan uttered a foul language, very upset. Looking at the three Pokémon who were still cheering and encouraging each other for defeating the mighty Kangaskhan, Ethan's eyes instantly darkened.
"Snort!"
"Don't raise your tail too high."
"Isn't it just a Kangaskhan!? As for being so happy?!"
Ethan had a cold face, and several scoldings immediately confused the three Pokémon. They looked at each other, their moods becoming depressed, like wilted cucumbers.
"Come on, let's continue looking for wild Pokémon."
"Find them and defeat them."
Get first place!
This time Ethan came to Jiangnan Pokémon University because the school promised a pseudo-legendary reward for the top spot in the freshman military training.
If he falls here, losing the pseudo-legendary cub is one thing, but being embarrassed is more important!
Ethan had already imagined how the people in his small circle would tease and complain about him after he lost.
"Yo yo yo, isn't this the son of a champion?"
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, so why the long face!"
"Can't even compare to civilian students?"
"..."
Damn it!
Ethan became angrier as he thought about it. No matter if it was time to rest or not, he continued exploring, looking for wild Pokémon, and started racking up points.
This time, Ethan did not let go of even the weak Pokémon. Catterpie, Weedle, and others like Spearow and Pidgey couldn't escape the "killer" under Rage Ethan.
"100 points are also points," Ethan sighed. Initially, he didn't even bother using these baby Pokémon to get points. The situation doesn't allow it now. No matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat.
In the monitoring screen, looking at Ethan who is "working hard," many felt that this was the right spirit.
"This new student military training is getting better and better."
"Originally, I thought it was Ethan who would take the lead, but now he has become the pursuer."
"You don't say."
"The potential that the son of the champion has unleashed must be very strong!"
"Now there's something good to watch."
"..."
It's not just the young counselors. The older gym-level trainers, directors, and others were all very concerned about this. While paying attention to the competition, they also always kept crisis management in mind.
At this moment, Alex was not in a hurry. Seeing Ethan getting closer to him in the standings, Alex had a leisurely lunch.
"Riolu, this is an energy cube. You can gain experience after eating it," Alex said, handing Riolu an energy cube.
The tangy aroma whetted Riolu's appetite. It happily put the energy cube in its mouth and slowly enjoyed the deliciousness, afraid of eating it too quickly.
"Don't worry," Alex reassured, patting his backpack, signaling Riolu to eat without restraint. "It's delicious enough, there's no need to be so frugal."
From the flash sale on the shelves, what Alex obtained the most, besides Poké Balls, were energy cubes and some effort candies. These can be used as food, and Pokémon like them very much.
"Oolu!"
Hearing this, Riolu narrowed its eyes and smiled, but still slowly savored the delicious juice from the dissolved energy cubes, unlike Charmeleon's crunchy munching.
"Right," Alex remembered. Riolu has just been born and will take a few days before it can eat harder food. Now it can only eat soft food.
During the break, Alex took out the trophy Charmeleon brought back earlier. Using his clairvoyant eyes, he saw it was actually a Dusk Stone.
Just when Alex decided to put away the Dusk Stone for recycling and sale, the system suddenly opened up, revealing new functions!
