Chapter 13: The Teachers' Shock in the Monitoring Room

[Pokémon: Beedrill (Virtual Simulation)]

Ability: Swarm

Gender: Male

Potential: ???

Power Level: Level 13

Moves: Poison Sting, Fury Attack, String Shot, Fury Cutter, Quick Attack.

Description: A simulated energy construct created through advanced projection technology using Metagross's immense computational capabilities. It holds no real reference value.

"Charmander, your turn!"

Hikaru glanced at his Charmander, whose eyes burned with an intense fighting spirit. It was eager, restless, and ready to prove itself.

"Char!"

Charmander let out a fierce roar, flames flaring more intensely from its tail as adrenaline coursed through its body.

The Beedrill, on the other hand, began to hum aggressively, its wings vibrating rapidly. The white glow on its twin needles indicated it was preparing a Fury Cutter attack.

"Charmander, counter it with Fire Punch. Let's test its strength!" Hikaru commanded.

Flames erupted around Charmander's claw, forming a blazing fist. With an audible crack, the two clashed—fire meeting sharp, glowing needles.

Fury Cutter, an attack that grows stronger with successive hits, failed to gain any momentum. Charmander's fiery punch not only held its ground but even pushed the Beedrill backward.

A surge of confidence swept through Hikaru as he watched his Pokémon dominate. "Follow up with a throw!"

Charmander's claws locked onto the Beedrill's needles, and with a mighty heave, it sent the bug-type Pokémon crashing to the ground.

"Now, finish it off with Ember!"

Charmander unleashed a barrage of fireballs, now far beyond their usual strength. They resembled miniature firebombs, raining down on the Beedrill and leaving no chance for retaliation.

The Beedrill's simulated body flickered and disintegrated into light particles, which then flowed into Hikaru's wrist device, updating his points.

Points: +500

"Nice work, Charmander!" Hikaru cheered, exchanging a triumphant fist bump with his partner.

The massive score boosted Hikaru's rank directly to fourth place. However, within moments, he was bumped down to fifth as other competitors accumulated points.

Seeing this, Hikaru smirked. "Looks like there's no shortage of strong trainers here."

Turning to his Charmander, he added, "We've got to stay sharp and keep pushing forward!"

"Char!"

Charmander raised its claws with determination, ready for the next battle.

The lingering scent of rosemary incense continued to attract simulated Pokémon, making it imperative for Hikaru to capitalize on every encounter.

Monitoring Room – Shuimu High School

Multiple screens displayed live feeds of the students' training session. A large group of teachers had gathered to observe, their focus shifting to notable battles.

"Not bad, not bad. The Growlithe's Fire Fang technique is well-practiced," one teacher commented.

"That Squirtle's Water Gun is on point. Every shot lands perfectly," another added.

"And look at that Scyther. Its early-game advantage is really shining through."

Miss Qin entered the room just as a lively discussion broke out.

"Miss Qin, you're here! Check this out—one of your students, with a Dratini, is completely dominating. It's almost unfair!"

Miss Qin could only shrug helplessly. "She probably doesn't care about the rewards. That's why she's treating this so casually."

The screen showed Sakura Hayashi leaning casually against a tree, her Dratini coiled protectively beside her. Any simulated Pokémon that dared approach was instantly obliterated by a single Dragon Rage.

Meanwhile, an exclamation drew everyone's attention.

"Unbelievable! That Beedrill didn't even stand a chance. Which class is this student from?"

The speaker was Mr. Luo, the head of Shuimu High's Pokémon training division. He was visibly stunned, his disbelief evident.

"This year's simulated Pokémon are modeled after wild ones, making them far more aggressive and difficult than in previous years. Yet this student's Charmander defeated a Level 13 Beedrill without breaking a sweat!"

Another teacher leaned in. "Rewind the footage. Let's see how the battle played out."

The screen replayed the clash.

"Look at that Fire Punch. It completely neutralized Beedrill's Fury Cutter and even knocked it off balance. This Charmander is definitely at the Ordinary Tier already."

"See the muscle definition and precise execution of moves? This Charmander has clearly undergone extensive training. Its trainer is exceptional."

The teachers murmured in agreement. Finally, someone asked the crucial question:

"Which class is this student from?"

The screen displayed the trainer's profile: Hikaru, Class 3A, First Year.

Hearing this, Miss Qin froze.

Could it really be… one of her students?

"Yes, that's my class," she replied, almost in disbelief.

The room erupted in excitement.

"Your class is incredible, Miss Qin!"

"First a Dratini, now a powerhouse Charmander. You've got some amazing talent this year."

Miss Qin stepped forward to take a closer look at the screen. The trainer was indeed her student, Hikaru.

As she felt a surge of pride, one of the teachers interrupted her thoughts.

"Too bad for him. He's just run into a swarm of Spearow."

The screen now showed Hikaru and his Charmander surrounded by a flock of virtual Spearow. The sharp, menacing cries of the birds filled the air.

Miss Qin's heart tightened. Spearow swarms were notoriously aggressive, even in simulations. This was a precarious situation.

But instead of retreating, Hikaru calmly pulled out an energy cube and handed it to Charmander.

"What is he doing?" one teacher exclaimed in disbelief.

"He's feeding Charmander in the middle of a battle?"
