Chapter 39: The Five Stages of Trainer
The next day.
Fang Yuan found Uncle Shan and showed off Eevee's speed training result-Double Team.
Uncle Shan was not in the club yesterday, So Fang Yuan and Eevee didn't know who to show off.
However, today it was different.
"Understood Double Team?"
"Sand-Attack, Quick Attack, Double Team, and Bite. With the cooperation of these four moves, you can carry out more tactics." Uncle Shan said.
"Yes, this way, the Young Phoenix King Cup will be more stable." Fang Yuan said.
However… Eevee doesn't think so.
After Fang Yuan said "Stable" last time, what happened to them?
Chased by a Pidgeot…
After finding that Fang Yuan was boasting again, Eevee, who was lying on Fang Yuan's shoulders, couldn't help but get upset.
"Don't be careless, although you and Eevee are working hard, if you want to climb higher on the trainer's road, hard work is only the most basic requirement. You must know that there are many places like Xingyao Battle Club in Shanghai City. Can you guarantee that others didn’t hire more professional personal coaches?"
"Furthermore, there are several Trainers' dojos with a long heritage in the Shanghai city. If you are unlucky and meet the apprentices who have studied there, you will not have any advantage."
Fang Yuan's face was a little bitter, how could he dispel his enthusiasm again, can't this Uncle Shan say something he likes to hear?
"Vee!" Eevee nodded, seeming to agree with Uncle Shan's words.
Uncle Shan said: "Haha, just scaring you. After all, the players in the young Phoenix King Cup are new trainers like you, so you don't have to worry too much, if you fall sick due to this, then it won't be good."
"Next, work hard to train, you will not be worse than others."
Fang Yuan and Eevee sighed, after talking for a long time, finally they were filled with the chicken soup…
However, what Uncle Shan didn't know was that in addition to the training tasks he arranged for Fang Yuan and Eevee, Fang Yuan had also prepared hidden trump cards.
Ability: Anticipation.
The tactical skills of Sand Attack, and counter-shield.
After half a month, as long as Eevee could master one of them, its actual combat ability would be greatly improved.
The four Raticates of the Xingyao Battle Club were very good teachers for Eevee, they were helping Eevee to feel the Dark-type energy.
On the other hand, Eevee has become more adapted to its own ability during the difficult battle with them.
It could be said that it has reached the threshold of the ability Anticipation. Its ability to passively perceive danger by instinct could immediately become its magical ability to actively predict danger.
Fang Yuan always believed that this ability of Eevee was very powerful, why is no one digging deep into it?
Now, Eevee was only one step away from mastering this ability, and at that time, its reaction speed would definitely be more agile.
Therefore, in order to speed up the process of mastering the ability, Fang Yuan has already negotiated with Eevee. In the last week before the Young Phoenix King Cup, they plan to try not to rely on line of sight, but to rely on the ability to fight against Raticates.
…
"Wait a moment."
Just when Fang Yuan and Eevee were going to start today's special training, Uncle Shan called Fang Yuan.
As the person in charge of this club, he was very busy every day.
Naturally, he had hardly supervised Fang Yuan and Eevee during training, so he could only provide them with some resources to help. However, to Shan Mi’s surprise, Fang Yuan and Eevee were very self-disciplined and were not like impetuous teenagers. He could see this point from the progress of Eevee.
There were not many newcomer trainers that he could admire, but Fang Yuan was one.
So Uncle Shan wanted to talk to Fang Yuan something more, it was not due to Yang Han's affairs, but simply because he wanted to talk to Fang Yuan.
"Do you know why I always put you guys down?"
"You don't want us to be too arrogant…" Fang Yuan subconsciously said.
"That's the truth. Newcomers should be down-to-earth. You are just starting out on the trainer road. I just don't want you to become arrogant because of a little achievement."
"But you guys shouldn’t be like that type."
Fang Yuan and Eevee looked at each other, no, they are.
"Do you want to know how we, who have been trainers for years, classify the stages of being a trainer?" Uncle Shan asked.
There’s story
Fang Yuan and Eevee nodded quickly.
"You are indeed the best rookie trainer of the same age. I don't deny that."
"But the scope of rookie trainers is also very wide. To speak simply, the rookie trainers are those who have become trainers for less than a year after registering as a trainer, you should know this."
"Because of the country's new policy, most of the current Rookie trainers are senior third-year students, and your main competitors are also these people, so your starting line is not much different."
"Then, there are ordinary trainers who have nurtured Pokemon for a certain year. Pick out any person randomly from these trainers, their basic quality of Pokemon is estimated to be no worse than your Eevee. The number of such trainers is also the largest."
"And the high-achieving students trained by major colleges and universities are an important class in the field of trainers. For example, the University team members of our provincial university often go to various cities to participate in competitions on behalf of their University, they are said to be Elite Trainer."
"There are still a group of people who have been close to professional trainers, but failed to pass the professional assessment due to various factors."
"Some of these people are still struggling to get a professional license, and some have completely given up, but most of them have integrated into various industries in society for their livelihoods, such as forest rangers, police officers, bodyguards, referees…and my former job, a professional coach who makes training plans for other trainers in major competition clubs."
"Finally, there are professional trainers. They fight on the front line and enjoy the resources in the secret realm, but they also need to fulfill the obligation of guarding and opening up the secret realm and protecting ordinary people from the disaster of the secret realm. Do you know why Yang Han can't teach you personally but entrusted you to me? Because every professional trainer is very busy and is far from being as glamorous as ordinary people think. The death rate of professional trainers is very high."
"That's why I said that you have to keep your feet on the ground. The road ahead is still very long."
"It's really long…" Fang Yuan silently took notes in his heart.
Rookie trainer, Ordinary trainer, Elite trainer, Senior trainer, Professional trainer…
The five stages of the trainer, narrated by Uncle Shan, a veteran, were much fuller and more vivid than Fang Yuan's own understanding.
"Thank you, Uncle Shan, I understand what you mean, then I'll go to train with Eevee."
"All right, go ahead." Uncle Shan said.
