Chapter 69 Lesson 1_1

```

Teacher Bai Ning gave Lin Jing and Fang Yuan a careful look before taking up her post, as she had been informed that these two students required special attention.

She understood the subtext perfectly well.

It meant that Lin Jing and Fang Yuan were the two new trainers in the class with the most potential and could be given special guidance when appropriate.

Indeed, it seemed that top students always received special treatment everywhere...

After a brief introduction, the class break was nearly over.

As per tradition, the first lesson was the homeroom teacher's class.

The content of the lesson was to motivate students for the new term, mainly through motivational speeches and "Soul Chicken Soup".

However, Teacher Zhang had already covered most of it during the self-study period.

So before the class began, she bluntly made a statement that shattered Fang Yuan's worldview:

"I have to deal with some urgent matters, so math class is canceled. Teacher Bai Ning will take you for physical education class instead. You must follow Teacher Bai Ning's instructions."

Fang Yuan: "..."

So what, exactly, is this intense feeling of incongruity?

...

But having a physical education class isn't so bad either.

Compared to academic subjects, energetic students prefer to be active outdoors.

Most importantly, there might be a chance to interact with Pokemon.

After giving a few more instructions, Teacher Zhang left the classroom, leaving the students staring at Teacher Bai Ning.

"Before we head outdoors, let me call the roll to get to know you all," she said.

With that, Teacher Bai Ning picked up a list from the podium and began to read.

The names of 32 students from Class 12 were all written on it, and in addition, the types of Beginner Elves they paired with were also listed.

"Zhao Qian."

"Present."

"Sun Li."

"Present."

"Zhou..."

As Teacher Bai Ning called out each name, she smiled.

"Good, who is the sports committee member?"

A tall and skinny boy stood up; his name was Jin Wei.

"Now take everyone for a slow jog around the field for two laps, and then organize some warm-up exercises," Teacher Bai Ning said.

Jin Wei acknowledged the command and immediately got the students moving.

As the class gathered, Lin Jing came over to Fang Yuan and whispered, "I heard from my dad that this Teacher Bai was the vice captain of their university team with quite impressive abilities."

"The vice-captain of the Normal University team?" Fang Yuan said. "Hard to tell."

"It's true," Lin Jing said. "She might not be used to teaching yet, but she must have extensive experience as a trainer."

The Normal University was also ranked within the top five universities in the province.

To be the vice-captain meant that one's strength was among the top in the entire university — such a person could easily become a Professional Trainer after a few more years post-graduation.

Fang Yuan nodded, taking note.

Shortly after, under the sports committee member's lead, Class 12 assembled and completed two laps around the field.

By that time, Teacher Bai Ning was already waiting for them at the destination.

"Do some warm-up exercises first, focusing on the upper body, and get moving," Teacher Bai Ning instructed.

Minutes later, after the warm-up was finished,

the class stood neatly in four rows, waiting for their new instructions.

Looking at the group of lively students, Bai Ning's expression became serious:

"I'll introduce myself again. My name is Bai Ning, and I'm going to be in charge of all your outdoor classes, including physical education and training, for the next year."

"Today is the first lesson, and as your new teacher, I just want to repeat one principle to you: 'Skyscrapers rise from the ground.' No matter how excellent a trainer one might be, they must start with the basics."

```

"I believe you all definitely don't want to do physical exercises like in a normal PE class right now, but rather train Pokemon or even engage in Pokemon battles. So, I'm giving you this opportunity,"

"Here, our teaching starts with the basic skills of a Trainer."

"Fang Yuan, step forward."

All eyes immediately focused on Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan himself was also confused. What was happening?

Teacher Bai Ning said, "Next, Student Fang Yuan will release a Pokemon and conduct a demonstration with me on the first basic skill of a Trainer."

Fang Yuan understood. This new teacher clearly wanted to make an example out of him.

But this was also a good opportunity.

Experiencing it personally would definitely lead to a clearer understanding of the teaching content.

…

On a battle spot in the center of the playground.

Fang Yuan and Teacher Bai Ning each stood on opposite sides of the field, while the other students had dispersed to form a circle and watch the excitement.

In fact.

Calling Fang Yuan out for a demonstration indeed helped to increase the engagement of the other students.

There's no way around it; Fang Yuan's reputation in class 12 was too great. With the victory in the Little Phoenix King Cup, who would dare claim to be better than Fang Yuan?

As long as Fang Yuan made a fool of himself, the teaching goal would be achieved.

At the same time.

Teacher Bai Ning took out a Poké Ball first, releasing a Breloom.

Breloom, with Grass and Fighting attributes, shaped like a kangaroo, has elastic wrists, and two red claws on its limbs, its main weapons.

On Fang Yuan's side, he also released an Eevee.

Seeing Eevee, Teacher Bai Ning observed carefully and found that it was indeed well-cultivated.

"Fang Yuan, in a moment I will command Breloom to attack, and you instruct Eevee to dodge. When I say you can, try to use the Poké Ball to recall Eevee," Teacher Bai Ning said.

"Okay."

Fang Yuan pretty much understood what the basic skill the other party was talking about was.

The next moment, Teacher Bai Ning shifted her gaze from Fang Yuan to the Breloom on the field and said, "Sonic Fist."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Breloom darted out swiftly, its agile movements making its actions fleeting.

Across from it, Little Eevee's pupils suddenly shrank. In the Bright Pearl arena, it had been through all sorts of trials and storms, but at this moment, Breloom's speed was beyond its expectations.

The Pokemon of a New Trainer and that of a Senior Trainer were simply not on the same level.

Facing Breloom's Sonic Fist, Eevee only felt a flash of white light before the opponent had already appeared in front of it.

Relying on its excellent reaction speed, Eevee could barely respond, but its body was somewhat unable to keep up with its reactions.

However, having reached Eevee, Breloom suddenly slowed down its attack, which gave Eevee a chance to catch its breath.

It hurriedly dodged, but Breloom relentlessly pursued, its extendable arms throwing punch after punch, forcing Eevee to continuously retreat.

"That's enough," Teacher Bai Ning said to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan immediately took out the Poké Ball, pressed the button to recall the Pokemon, and a beam of red light shot towards Eevee's location. However, due to Eevee's dodging actions, Fang Yuan's operation went awry, failing to hit Eevee.

"Continue."

Breloom's assault remained fierce, and Fang Yuan frowned, pressing the recall button repeatedly, but not once could he successfully hit Eevee.

He realized that Breloom was intentionally restricting Eevee's movements, not allowing him to easily recall Eevee!

At that moment, Teacher Bai Ning clapped her hands, calling a halt and said,

"I think you should have understood by now, if this were a 2vs2 battle, and Eevee found itself at a disadvantage, even if the rules allowed, the Trainer wouldn't have the ability to immediately recall their Pokemon and switch to another for battle. This would result in losing the match ultimately."

"And if it were a dangerous battle in the wild, such a mistake could very likely cost the Pokemon its life," Teacher Bai Ning said unreservedly.

This was the first basic skill of a Trainer she wanted to talk about, accurately recalling a Pokemon with a Poké Ball.

Fang Yuan holding Eevee's Poké Ball… paused slightly, realizing that being a Trainer wasn't just about bluffing.
