Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

At the command of the Gyarados leader, all the Gyarados simultaneously dismounted, carried the dogs on their backs, and delivered them to Shang Qiu.

The hyenas and big dogs trembled with fear. Could these Gyarados have some new way of torturing dogs?

But they were clearly overthinking it. The Gyarados delivered the new group of Terriers to Shang Qiu, who skillfully landed on a large wolfhound.

Flying by yourself is tiring; Groudon seems to enjoy it more...

Large German Shepherd: "???"

Fortunately, the grumpy Great Hound had its rough edges smoothed out by the even more grumpy Gyarados, and it whimpered and lowered its head.

She even adjusted her posture, changing to a position that made Shang Qiu more comfortable.

The Gyarados head gave the sensible wolfhound an approving look before swimming over to Shang Qiu's side.

He took off a gold keychain-like object from his ear and handed it to Shang Qiu with great care.

This keychain is all his most precious possessions; it will protect Shangqiu until he is old enough to raise his son.

Shang Qiu pointed to the gold keychain, then to himself, "For me?"

Before Gyarados could even nod, another Gyarados appeared, with a familiar figure standing on its back.

The figure, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, stood on the back of the Gyarados, exuding an air of superiority.

Shang Qiu looked at the figure with some surprise, "You are... the old man in the park who specializes in catching king carp?"

Shang Qiu's delight at meeting an old friend in a foreign land was genuine; he bumped into the old man every time he went to Yuxi Park.

Seeing it now, it really feels quite familiar.

When Wang Hao heard Shang Qiu call him "the old man who specializes in catching king carp," he almost lost his temper...

When he was young, he could have caught other kinds of fish, but later, for some reason, every time he caught a carp, it was a king carp.

Because of this, the name Magikarp has become a taboo among the upper echelons of Jida University.

But this little brat... if we hadn't happened to know each other, Gyarados would have given him a good beating!

However, this little guy seems to have a pseudo-god, and he actually came to his own school. It seems that the enrollment work this year is progressing quite well.

Wang Hao immediately felt a sense of appreciation for Shang Qiu's talent and decided to see how well Shang Qiu was breeding his giblets.

"Little guy, where's your giblet? Let it out and I'll give you some pointers."

Hearing someone call its name, Garchomp, which had just recovered inside its Poké Ball, instinctively stepped out of the Poké Ball.

As soon as Garchomp appeared, it saw the surrounding blue water and immediately showed a look of fear.

Damn, I can't swim!

"Roar! Glug glug—Roar!"

Frog, help! Glug glug—a shark is about to kill me!

Seeing the Garchomp fall into the water, Gyarados almost drooled and stared at the Gible with shining eyes.

The trainer of this dog son was not lying, as he was able to raise such a good Dragon-type Pokémon!

It's a bit embarrassing that a shark can't swim...

After a moment of reflection, Gyarados Leader stood up and stepped forward, intending to save his son's teacher, a Pokémon who couldn't swim.

Froakie was startled awake by Garchomp's voice and instantly jumped out of its Poké Ball.

Anyone who wants to kill Shark, you'll have to get past me first!

The red light from the Poké Ball faded, and Froakie could see the situation outside.

The master led Gardevoir and a group of Terriers to confront the Gyarados clan.

Gyarados stared intently at Garchomp, drooling, before swooping down at it.

This dragon actually wants to eat sharks!

[Ding! Frog has learned to tie grass knots!]

A system notification sounded in Shang Qiu's mind. The next moment, Shang Qiu saw the frog forming a hand seal, and a bright green light shone from its hands.

"Pu!"

A surge of water appeared on the surface, and a giant seaweed broke through the lake's surface, binding the Gyarados's head and lower body.

With a "splash," the Gyarados dragon, caught off guard, tripped and fell into the water, creating countless splashes.

Gyarados instantly stood up and looked at Froakie as if it were a rare treasure.

Wang Hao was also shocked to see Froakie trip over his Gyarados. Even Kongcheng back then couldn't do something like that.

This student is a top-notch nurturer!

If the baby shark's physique had even the slightest flaw, then the breeding of this frog was truly the best ever!

Unfortunately, they didn't know... the frog breeds itself...

With a burning gaze, the Gyarados handed the golden keychain to Shang Qiu once again.

"Teacher Shang, please accept this flashing keychain!"

Chapter 99 Military Training Ends

A flashing key ring?

Shang Qiu finally remembered what the golden keychain was: it was an elf!

Because this thing was rarely mentioned in anime and games in his previous life, and the flashing colors were even rarer, Shang Qiu couldn't recall it for a moment.

Subconsciously, he activated the Eye of the Spirit and looked at Key Circle.

Key Circle (Flash): Level 39

Gender: Male

[Nature: Naughty (+Defense -Special Attack)]

【Ability: Mischievous Heart (Allows you to use status moves more quickly)】

【个体值：HP（31）、物攻（27）、特攻（24）、物防（31）、特防（31）、速度（27）】

[Skills: Spikes, Electromagnetic Wave, Poison, Play Rough, Misty Terrain, Fairy Chain, Tackle, Seal, Cannon, Light Screen, Reflect, Dazzling Gleam]

[Items to carry: Leftovers (resumes health periodically)]

[Qualification: Curator]

Upon seeing this keychain, Shang Qiu's first impression was that it was dirty.

It is a Steel/Fairy type, meaning it is weak to half of the types, but its only weaknesses are Ground and Fire.

Electromagnetic waves + Fairy Lock, followed by Spikes + Poison, plus Leftovers. If you can't kill the Key Ring instantly, you'll be tortured to death by him.

But, is it really worth giving something so precious to myself?

Shang Qiu wasn't being suspicious; he just felt that this Gyarados was being excessively kind to him. There's no such thing as love without a reason in this world.

Seeing Shang Qiu's doubts, Wang Hao smiled and said, "Young man, you don't trust this old man?"

Jida University is currently suffering from a severe shortage of talent. Under these circumstances, Xiaolong admires you for bringing a near-god-level expert into our university.

Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Shang Qiu was filled with shock and disbelief.

Jida University is his! So...

The old man fishing in the park is actually the former principal who can stir up a storm in China!

It's not that Shang Qiu lost his composure, but rather that almost everyone in Jizhou Province grew up listening to the legends of the old principal.

Back then, the Plasma Team and Team Rocket were neck and neck in northern China, known as the two major cancers. However, the Plasma Team made a mistake by choosing Jizhong City as its headquarters.

Back then, the former principal won the championship and successfully entered the upper echelons of the country, preserving Hebei University's status for a century.

For Ji Dahe, the old principal single-handedly led six super Gyarados to conquer Team Plasma's headquarters, killing hundreds of thousands of enemies and almost crippling Team Plasma.

Just look at the gap between Team Plasma and Team Rocket now to see how powerful the old principal is!

Shang Qiu blankly accepted the key ring from the leader of the Gyarados, completely ignoring how lame the old principal's reason for giving it away was.

Every young man from Jizhong has dreamed countless times of meeting the old principal, hoping to have a lively conversation with such a prominent figure as the old principal. Shang Qiu was no exception.

Unexpectedly... this dream came true so unexpectedly!

[Ding! Key Circle has formed a bond with you after being intimidated by Champion Gyarados!]

[Ding! Congratulations on capturing Key Circle.]

"Just wear this key ring around your waist. This key ring has been with me and Xiaolong for many years."

"You can keep it on your waist at any time to protect yourself from some sneak attacks. You know, there are many 'sixth men' in the wild who like to attack trainers."

Shang Qiu: "???"

I suspect you're subtly criticizing me, but I have no proof.

Shang Qiu chose not to listen to things he didn't like, preferring to try out the power of the key ring.

"Key ring. Use electromagnetic waves on that bighead gull over there!"

"Circle!"

Without hesitation, Key Circle released a weak electric current at the Bigmouth Gull.

A Pelipper passing by suddenly felt a tingling sensation in its body and slammed down into the mouth of a Gyarados.

Before Pelipper fell into Gyarados's mouth, its last thought was: Damn, this is insane! How could there be such a jerk!

Seeing that Shang Qiu seemed to like his keychain, the old principal smiled and continued:

"It's a pity that Key Circle's aptitude is too low, making it difficult for him to break through to the level of the Pavilion Master, so he can't continue with us."

But the next moment, the old headmaster and the leader of the Gyarados were shocked to see Key Circle's aura had become much stronger.

At the same time, a system notification sound flashed through Shang Qiu's mind:

[Ding! Key Circle has killed a Giant Pelipper, gaining 166 experience points.]

[Ding! Keychain has leveled up! Current level 40]
