[New Fanfic!!!]

[Starting as a Class 5 Mutant]

It has been three days since Bon Clay started distributing Pokémon eggs. All the eggs with white qualifications have been delivered, and the custom eggs with green qualifications are currently being distributed, with completion expected in two days.

Dak has been busy these days.

Previously, Dak promised Sengoku to help set up a special Pokémon-related force of about thirty people to better care for the hundreds of Pokémon babies that will soon be born.

These thirty people are temporarily divided into three classes:

Logistics class, Biology class, and Research class.

The Logistics class is responsible for ensuring that all necessary supplies for the Pokémon babies are readily available. Dak teaches them about the common necessary items or consumables for all Pokémon species.

As for items specific to each Pokémon species, such as the protective gear for Pawniard, detailed explanations will be given later in Pokémon School.

Given the limited time, the four hundred and ten eggs at the Navy headquarters are expected to hatch in about ten days and are currently kept in the underground research facility at Marineford, heavily guarded.

During this period, either Sengoku, Zephyr, or Kuzan must stay within a three-kilometer radius of the facility.

Biology class.

This class focuses on the nature of Pokémon as creatures, their growth stages, and the relationships between different Pokémon types. It's the class with the heaviest workload and the most complex content to learn.

In the future, this biology class could potentially produce several Pokémon professors, but for now, Dak can only teach some basic knowledge within these ten days.

For example, the eighteen Pokémon types and their characteristics, such as the ghost types' ability to appear and disappear and their mischief, and psychic types' telekinesis and sensitivity to emotions.

He also mentions the evolutionary stages of Pokémon to prevent the Navy from being shocked when a Pokémon evolves and changes form.

As for more detailed and advanced content, there's too much to cover now; it will have to wait until the Pokémon Academy starts.

For instance, the specific conditions some Pokémon need to evolve, different evolutionary paths leading to different forms, Pokémon egg groups and genetics, Pokémon Mega Evolution, Pokémon ancient fossil revival, and the influence of the environment on Pokémon survival.

These topics are beyond Dak's current research; he can only recite the system-provided materials, so he can't possibly teach these to the Navy now.

Their research progress will depend on the development speed of the Mystery Hatchery House.

Research class.

This role is similar to being an assistant to a Pokémon professor in the Pokémon world.

They help Pokémon professors operate various machines and must have a clear understanding of the average physical data of various Pokémon species.

This position doesn't require mastery in one field, but a basic understanding in all areas is necessary, from training to treating Pokémon. They need to keep up with the professors' research and surveys and not be clueless.

Dak's teaching duties began the day Bon Clay started delivering eggs, holding classes at the Navy base next to the Mystery Hatchery House branch.

During this process, Giratina did not provide close protection; Dak did not want to confine this baby dragon in the shadow space, but Sceptile accompanied Dak.

This was useful, as some concepts difficult to explain could be demonstrated through cooperation with Sceptile.

Now, as evening approaches, Dak is teaching the last lesson to the Biology class.

"Pokémon are incredibly emotional magical creatures. Their greatest motivation to do anything is undoubtedly the expectations, trust, and sincere emotional feedback from their trainers. In the world where Pokémon originated, 'the more emotions a trainer invests in their Pokémon, the faster the Pokémon grows stronger'—this has been proven over thousands of years."

Dak is actually voicing his own thoughts.

Whether such conclusions exist in the neighboring Pokémon world is unknown to Dak; even Professor Oak's 'Human-Pokémon Relationship' theme study has yet to yield definite results.

Dak has repeatedly made similar statements in his teachings to these three Navy classes, aiming to encourage the Navy to invest more genuinely in Pokémon.

This can be seen as a form of subtle indoctrination, but Dak believes his words to be factual, and he plans to continue proclaiming this worldwide.

Bond evolution, Mega Evolution, Gratitude moves—there are too many things that can substantiate his claims. The world will eventually discover these patterns; Dak is simply informing them in advance.

Dak's words naturally shock the Navy personnel.

Thousands of years?

How many years of history have they studied?

No one doubts Dak's words; in the realm of Pokémon, Dak is seen as an 'authority' by these people.

After all, Pokémon were brought to this world by Dak, and he holds the strongest Pokémon in his hands. Why wouldn't they believe him?

If you want to question his statements, first you need to raise a Pokémon that can defeat Sceptile, Darkrai, and Giratina, and then present your results for scrutiny.

Dak also briefly mentioned Pokémon lifespan.

"Most Pokémon have very long lifespans. For example, Sceptile here is over two hundred years old, and he's just entering his prime. If you raise a Pokémon well, you might pass it down as a family protector for many generations."

Dak carefully avoided discussing how some attributes, like Dragon or Ghost, can lead to particularly long lives, or how Bug types tend to have shorter lifespans.

He worries this might lead to discrimination against certain types.

This is an inevitable issue, one that even the Pokémon world cannot avoid. Dak can only try to delay its onset.

Moreover, as people discover that Bug types have shorter lifespans, they will also realize another trait: their fast growth cycles. They can reach their final evolutionary stages quicker than any other type, becoming battle-ready very swiftly.

Surely, someone will appreciate the advantages of Bug types and raise a generation of bug catchers.

Conversely, Dragon types are known for being late bloomers.

Of course, this world's people are not yet aware of this; they are still amazed by Sceptile's age.

Each person's heart is stirred.

Having such a Pokémon in one's home, even if one's descendants are not successful, at least one wouldn't have to worry about dying unexpectedly. It's a treasure that can extend a family's longevity.

For most of the nobility, royal families, and hereditary organizations in this world, this concept is incredibly enticing.

As is well known, the world of One Piece incorporates many ideas from the vibrant world of Naruto, including the distinct notion of 'bloodlines.'

Not only in the world of One Piece but also in the neighboring world of Naruto, this concept is even more evident, undisguised from beginning to end. In One Piece, it's initially subtle but becomes more apparent later on.

Thus, those who value lineage and heritage are particularly numerous in these two worlds, and their biggest fear is that their bloodline might end prematurely, leading to the extinction of their clans.

If such a group heard what Dak just proposed, their desire for Pokémon would reach a peak.

"Let's conclude today's lesson here, and tomorrow I'll explain 'Pokémon Evolution'."

Dak noted the late hour and Sceptile's sleepiness, and decided to end the class.

They have all been tired from a day's work.

"Thank you, teacher."

The Navy personnel, respectful like elementary school students, stood and bowed, watching Dak leave the classroom.

Dak, with Sceptile by his side, walked out of the classroom towards the plaza outside the building.

His actions are also a way of accumulating teaching experience; the Pokémon School will soon become a high-priority project for Dak. As the inaugural headmaster, he will often teach classes personally.

Gaining experience now will make it easier when he faces students from across the seas.

"Hey! Zanbai, that's enough for today, you can stop training!"

Dak shouted across the Navy base's plaza.

The dozen or so people undergoing 'recovery training' immediately ceased their exercises and ran towards Dak, crying out.

"Boss! I'm dead tired!"

"Boss, my legs are about to break!"

"Boss!"

These people are the same group Dak recruited from the streets of Water 7 a few days ago, who would later become part of the Franky Family in the original story.

Now, they are undergoing 'recovery training' under Dak's supervision, restoring their bodies hollowed out by alcohol and gathering other unemployed people from Water 7 to train together.

Dak emphasized recruiting unemployed people who hadn't committed serious crimes.

These future members of the Pokémon League's inspection squad, under Bellamy's command, may be weak now, but growing stronger on the Grand Line is not difficult, especially transitioning from ordinary people to somewhat powerful lackeys, which can take less than a few months.

Dak doesn't expect them all to strive for Bellamy's level; reaching the capability described in the original story is sufficient.

The elites of the inspection squad will be gradually found and trained across the seas.

Furthermore, the future inspection squad will not consist solely of humans; Dak plans to pair them with Pokémon partners, which will significantly enhance their combined combat capabilities.

This can be compared to the 'Beast Era' in the Pokémon world.

At that time, wars between nations were fought by armies composed of 'Humans + Pokémon', a model that forged many legendary Pokémon stories. The destructive power of such armies is immense.

'God of the Currents' Lugia, the 'Dragon Trio' Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem—these Pokémon's appearances and retreats are all connected to this era's inter-nation wars.
