Night had fully fallen, and the cold moonlight scattered across the world. The surrounding area became quiet, with occasional sounds of cracking and terrifying beast roars.

Fortunately, almost all the students had experience surviving in the wild, so they did not panic. After finding a safe place to camp, they began to rest.

Some students were very confident in their Pokémon and ventured into the darkness to search for them.

Everyone knew that night was when Pokémon were most active, but the visibility was low, and the danger increased dramatically, requiring an experienced Trainer.

Obviously, Alex Brown from Class 3 of the Battle Department had that confidence.

Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, he searched for wild Pokémon.

Alex was walking along a path filled with branches and dead leaves, accompanied by a Houndour, its tail flicking slightly and its nose twitching as it searched for Pokémon.

Not far off, a dark-colored Pokémon with a full-body silhouette walked slowly, its steps light.

It was small, with scarlet eyes, and the golden ring-shaped pattern on its body faintly glowed under the moonlight.

This Pokémon was an Umbreon, one of the evolved forms of Eevee.

Umbreon is a nocturnal Pokémon, active in the middle of the night when the moonlight falls to the ground.

Its black fur blends with the darkness, and it always lurks in the shadows, waiting for its prey and watching its opponents. Its large eyes can clearly capture its prey's figure, even in the dark.

This Umbreon was Alex's greatest assurance in daring to search for wild Pokémon in the dark.

Controlling the rival with a senior Umbreon and attacking with two Normal Houndours was the primary reason why Alex currently ranked 41st.

"The night is my playground. I must take advantage of this time to gain points and improve my ranking."

As a descendant of the leader of the Dark-type Gym, Alex was not satisfied with his current position.

"Forget the top three, but at least the top ten..."

"Dad, I will definitely make you proud!"

He thought to himself as he searched for wild Pokémon.

Suddenly, Umbreon stopped in its tracks, pricking its ears.

Alex raised his hand, and the two Houndours stopped simultaneously, then closed their eyes.

"Movement to the left."

After a moment, he opened his eyes and whispered.

He heard a faint sound of movement in that direction, suggesting high probability of wild Pokémon activity.

Then, a person and three Pokémon trotted to the left.

Soon, the sound of movement grew louder. This time, Alex clearly heard: it was the sound of a battle!

Bang bang bang! 

"Hide."

Alex sounded like a mosquito and immediately moved forward cautiously.

Soon, bright flames illuminated the surroundings. Alex focused intently and saw an open space ahead.

In the center of the open space stood a Persian. Persian stood alone, and Alex could only see its profile.

At that moment, the person was quietly observing the battle that was about to unfold.

Alex diverted his gaze, and the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

A Combusken was fighting a Persian.

The breath of the two Pokémon was infinitely close to the Professional level!

Alex Brown felt his mouth dry, and after a slight gasp, he moved his body so the thick trunk of the tree completely covered him.

...

The night wrapped around them as the afternoon wind blew.

Alex hid behind a tree and secretly observed.

Combusken faced off against Persian, which paced back and forth with the ruby on its forehead glowing.

Persian was naturally arrogant, violent, and very hard to approach.

But it had beautiful fur, and its whole body radiated a noble temperament, making it the first choice for many people with status.

However, Persian was panting slightly at this moment, and through the firelight, one could see obvious scars on its body.

Obviously, before Alex arrived, Persian and Combusken had already clashed.

"Oh!"

Finally, Persian could not hold back its temper and let out a low growl from its throat, which sounded extraordinarily terrifying against the backdrop of the night, scaring a Pidgey that was watching the show from a tree.

Suddenly, the Persian launched swifts one by one, soaring through the air!

Under Alex's sharp gaze, Combusken's eyes locked onto Persian, and it stepped forward, becoming a white blur and charging at Persian at incredible speed.

Quick Attack! 

At the same time, Combusken, with its light body, easily dodged the Swift attacks and launched itself in front of Persian in an instant!

Click! 

Combusken swung its cold claws, instantly tearing Persian's soft, beautiful fur, causing bright red blood to spurt out!

"Oh!"

Persian groaned in pain, its red vertical pupils cold as it stared at Combusken in front of it.

"This speed!"

As Alex recalled the scene that had just occurred, his eyes changed, and he was horrified.

The speed that Combusken displayed moments ago was astonishing, and his lunar Pokémon would likely be stunned by such terrifying speed.

"Who is he?!"

"Are there Pokémon infinitely close to Professional level?"

"Is this really a first-year student?"

"Could it be the Senior who accidentally stayed behind in the secret realm from the previous session?"

Well, Alex admits that the last guess is too far-fetched.

But a Pokémon that can have this kind of strength at this moment, as far as he knows, almost no one can do it.

"No!"

"One person did it."

Alex's eyes suddenly lit up, and a tall figure appeared in his mind.

He was Lance Elite, the current Dragon Master.

Lance Elite graduated from the Metropolis University. His Dratini was infinitely close to the Professional level during field military training at that time, creating an unprecedented scoring record.

Only a month and a half later, Dratini leveled up to Professional, evolved into Dragonair, and set a new record.

That year, under Lance Elite's leadership, Metropolis University swept other universities and became the champion of the first-year student exchange competition.

In his second and third years, Lance Elite won two consecutive championships in the university student league, creating an unprecedented miracle.

In his final year, Lance Elite had already become a Gym-level Trainer and entered the top 16 in the Avalon Conference, gaining prominence like no other!

In his short four years at Metropolis University, Lance Elite created many miracles and became a legend in the hearts of all future students from Metropolis.

"It could be another Lance Elite..." Alex secretly guessed.

"No!"

"No, it's impossible!"

"Lance Elite has come a long way. His background, resources, luck, and talent are indispensable. His miracle cannot be copied."

"Could this be a Trainer with good luck?"

Though he thought that in his heart, Alex also understood that relying solely on luck, it was impossible for a Breeder to produce a Pokémon close to the Professional level at this time.

Alex turned his head and fixed his gaze on Bruce, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his mind and figure it out clearly once he left the secret realm.

"That person must be on the list, and you'll know when you ask," Alex thought to himself.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and the battle raged in the open space.

Although Persian's body was still bleeding, it was still in good condition. Sucker Punch came forward in front of Combusken while its figure flashed!

It opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and bit Combusken!

- Combusken! 

Combusken's eyes froze, and flames surrounded its body as it faced Persian head-on.

Boom! 

Combusken and Persian clashed fiercely, instantly causing waves of air to spread in all directions.

Yes! 

The airwaves were chaotic, and Persian was like a kite with a broken string, flying upside down several meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

Looking around, its eyes had become circles, and it had completely lost its ability to fight.

"Not bad." Seeing this, Bruce smiled in satisfaction.

This Persian was the strongest in this area, infinitely close to Professional level. Upon realizing that Bruce and Combusken had entered its territory, it launched a bold attack!

After several rounds of fierce fighting, Combusken finally claimed the final victory.

This Persian had a lot of combat experience. It was clear it had been in many large and small battles. In the initial confrontation, even Combusken had suffered a bit.

But there was still a great difference in power between the two Pokémon. After a few rounds of fighting, Persian finally lost to Combusken.

At the same time,

Seeing Combusken successfully defeat Persian, Alex's eyes blinked slightly, wondering in secret whether he should leave or stay.

"Father once said that people's hearts are unpredictable and that the greatest malice should be used to speculate about others."

"Although this is a field military training, the head teacher emphasized that students should help each other, and conflicts are not allowed."

"Think about it. If I were him right now, having just defeated a Pokémon and a stranger came running to chat with me, what would I do?"

"Of course, I'd stay away from this neurotic situation."

Thoughts raced through his mind, Alex took a deep breath and decided to leave the place, pretending he hadn't seen anything at the moment.

"With his strength

, he should be on the list. There's no need to ask now. I may know his identity in a few days."

Remembering his father's principle that "more is worse than less," Alex gestured to Umbreon and Houndour, turned around, and left.

"Where are you going?"

But just as he turned, a clear voice echoed in his ears.

Alex Brown froze where he stood, his body stiff, and his eyes wide open.

After a moment, he turned stiffly, looked at Bruce who was watching him, and smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Hello, classmate. Sorry for intruding into this place by mistake."

"I'll leave right now, immediately."

Alex's expression was sincere, but his tone was humble.

Bruce looked strangely at Alex, then said, "It's okay. If you can't find a suitable campsite, I have a vacancy here."

"Ah?" Alex Brown was stunned for a moment.
