First time seeing Team Rocket
Seeing Bulbasaur fall to the ground, Jun showed a satisfied smile to Eevee and said, "You did a good job. I will give you two bottles of Moomoo Milk for your breakfast."
"Kyuu~" Eevee responded happily.
Jun then squatted down next to Eevee, took out a bottle of antidote, and fed it to Eevee's mouth, saying, "Drink this to heal from the poison."
"Kyuu~" Eevee nodded softly after drinking the antidote and turned its head to look at the Bulbasaur in front of them.
"Your Bulbasaur is really impressive. It was a tough battle, and my Eevee almost couldn't keep up," Jun complimented Alvis.
"Thank you! I have to admit, your Eevee is a skilled fighter as well. You're a great trainer," Alvis replied with a smile.
After their friendly exchange, Jun bid farewell since he had successfully completed his first assignment. He then headed over to the referee to confirm that the assignment was done.
"Sir, is the assignment already done?" Jun asked.
"Um, you have already passed the assignment and you will receive the notice later about your class. Don't forget about it and don't be late again," the referee sternly said.
"Yes, sir," Jun nodded and finally left the battle venue.

After walking for a while, Jun grew bored on his way to school and eventually ended up at the library.
'Let me check my paper,' Jun thought to himself as he made his way towards the e-library section. He began searching for the academic website that Pinery had told him about earlier. After a few minutes of searching, he finally found the academic paper under his grandmother's name, with Pinery listed as the co-author.
"Unlocking the Potential of Eevee's Hidden Ability: A Comparative Analysis." Jun nodded in agreement. The title was eye-catching, and he was sure many people would take notice once the paper was approved. With a happy mood, he resumed his search and soon stumbled upon something.
In this world, elementary and middle-higher integrated Trainer schools are compulsory education for Trainer children, while college Trainer schools are no longer compulsory but are mostly taken by those who want to pursue an academic route or shortcut to enter the government or alliance. Compared with primary and secondary Trainer schools, the studies in college are more focused on academic education or specific routes for Trainers.
Most Trainers choose to end their studies after graduating from secondary Trainer schools and participate in various tours, exercise their strength through travel, increase their knowledge, or even directly take on Trainer-related jobs. However, what's most interesting is that almost 80% of those who graduated from college are successful people, either becoming academicians or elite trainers
This is quite contrary, isn't it? Why do most trainers end their studies when they know that those who graduated from college are mostly successful? Hmm... maybe like in the anime, all the Pokemon kids are hot-blooded? However, he didn't find anything about it. On the other hand, he found something more interesting - interviews with many elite Trainers about their experiences and journeys to become a Pokemon Trainer.
What caught Jun's attention were interviews with two members of the Elite Four in the Kanto region, Lorelei and Bruno. They were discussing the path of a Trainer to become a single attribute Trainer or a multiple attribute Trainer. Jun remembered that his grandpa was a Psychic Trainer, and his father was an Electric Trainer
There's pro and cons of course. Trainers who focus on a single attribute have an advantage in terms of tactics and breeding, but their Pokemon may be more vulnerable to certain attribute types. In contrast, Trainers who specialize in multiple attributes can compensate for weaknesses by using a variety of Pokemon, but this requires more knowledge and resources for tactics and breeding.
But mostly, elite Trainers choose a single attribute," Jun muttered. Based on what he remembered, the Elite Four focused on a single attribute. For example, Elite Lorelei specialized in Ice-type Pokemon and Elite Bruno focused on Fighting-type Pokemon.
After finishing watching it, Jun logged out of his ID and decided to explore Saffron City. But before that, he texted his aunt to let her know
Saffron City boasts the most complete infrastructure in the Kanto Region, with convenient transportation. During their tour, Jun and Eevee saw people from various places, which was simply eye-opening. As the largest and most prosperous central business district in the entire Kanto Region, it was only natural for someone like Jun to go shopping.
Suddenly, Jun stopped in his tracks. On his way to the Silph Co. store, he saw three men dressed in black round hats and black clothing, with a big bright red 'R' on their chests. Who else could it be but Team Rocket? Originally, if he encountered such a situation, he would have tried not to provoke them. However, upon recognizing where they were headed, Jun decided to follow them.
Pretending to look around, Jun walked closer to them to overhear their conversation. However, due to the crowd, Jun could only hear a few keywords such as "Viridian", Phantom Pokemon".
Curious, Jun walked closer to them again. However, just as he was about to get near them, they turned around and caught him off guard. But Jun, who could be said to have the soul of an adult, quickly recovered and walked past them, even though they were looking at him suspiciously.
Jun quickly turned his head to the left and looked behind him. He noticed that Team Rocket had lost sight of him, and he let out a deep breath, feeling relieved. However, a troubling thought crossed his mind. If Team Rocket had appeared near Silph Co., did that mean that they had already taken over it?
Additionally, based on what he had overheard earlier about "Viridian," Jun assumed that it was a reference to Viridian Forest. His mind started racing as he tried to piece together what was happening.
