Su Hao stood to the side watching the two of them flatter each other, not daring to utter a word.

Soon after Mr. Su saw the principal off, the father and son stayed in Mr. Su's office to talk.

"For the past month or so, the evil organization Nova has been frequently spotted throughout the Shenzhou Alliance."

"The Nova Corps is ruthless and its crimes include, but are not limited to, stealing rare Pokémon, international smuggling, assassinating League geniuses from around the world, and terrorist attacks on secret locations."

"In the past month, the presence of the Nova Organization has been seen all over the world, including in secret territories under the jurisdiction of the Shenzhou Alliance."

“I’ve been busy capturing rising stars for a while now, so I haven’t been able to help you much with your development,” Su’s father said apologetically.

“But even when I wasn’t there, you grew up to be exceptionally talented, far surpassing those geniuses nurtured by the entire clan in my eyes.”

"After watching today's competition, I am very pleased that you have trained Little Diamond and Hot Cat so well."

"Your mother and I have discussed your future path, but you probably don't want to specialize in one area anymore, right?"

Faced with his father's question, Su Hao naturally nodded affirmatively. Rather than specializing in one type, he would prefer to capture different kinds and types of Pokémon.

"As I thought, then my path can only serve as a reference for you." Father Su handed Su Hao the notebook containing all his insights.

After Su Hao solemnly accepted the notebook, Su's father continued, "I already know about your grades from the principal, and this match was far from your full strength. I think keeping you in high school is already a kind of constraint. I have a suggestion."

“There are eighteen dojos in the Divine Continent Alliance, and as the dojo master of one of them, I am also qualified to make a recommendation.” Su’s father changed the subject, preparing to explain something to Su Hao.

"The badges awarded by the gyms are divided into three tiers. The first is the Advanced Badge. When facing challengers who want the Advanced Badge, the gym leader will use gym-level Pokémon as their main force. As long as you collect eight different gym badges, you can be promoted from the Advanced Ball tier to the Master Ball tier if you have enough points."

"The second tier is the intermediate badge. Gym leaders will use Pokémon ranging from elite to professional level. Most universities will set collecting at least one intermediate badge as a graduation requirement."

"The third tier is the beginner badge. The gym leader will use multiple elite-level Pokémon, and there may even be professional-level Pokémon. Those who can participate in this tier are the best of the younger generation, because you must be recommended by a qualified person to reserve the beginner badge challenge, and the things that this badge can do are also very simple."

"That means students who collect all four beginner badges can freely choose any of the Divine Continent Alliance..."

A student was admitted to a university within the alliance ahead of schedule.

"If you're fast enough, you can collect all the badges and bring them back to participate in the national youth competition before then."

"What do you think of this suggestion?" Su's father turned his questioning gaze to Su Hao, who was listening attentively.

Su Hao fell into thought.

Indeed, at present, I can only compete against people weaker than myself in high school, and continuing like this will only delay my growth.

Soon, Su Hao made his decision and said to his father, "Rather than staying in one place and wasting my time, I'd rather fight against a stronger opponent!"

[Ding! Mission issued!]

[Mission: Collect the beginner badges from any four of the eighteen elemental gyms!]

[Reward: "Aura Force (Advanced)! System Currency x (5)!"]

Su Hao had once asked the system what conditions were used to issue the mission.

The system's response at the time was: "The system will only issue a task after detecting that the host has a desire to achieve a certain goal."

All tasks issued by the system follow the host's own will!

Since his own will had already triggered the system's task, Su Hao accepted the task without hesitation.

"Alright! Now that you've made your decision, you can set off once I've completed the formalities on my end," Mr. Su said with a smile.

"But you must know that if you encounter any difficulties outside, you must tell your parents. Your parents will always be your support," Su's father said with a serious expression.

"I will." Su Hao nodded.

After leaving his father's office, Su Hao went straight to his private training room.

"Come out, Little Diamond and Blaze." Upon arriving at the training room, Su Hao couldn't wait to release the two Pokémon.

Su Hao led the two Pokémon to the energy intensity tester in the training room.

The energy tester can accurately measure the attack energy intensity of a Pokémon.

For example, a normally trained Pokémon in its late-stage Normal tier will likely get around 300 points when using a move tester. Generally, getting 100 points when using a move indicates that the Pokémon is at the early-stage Normal tier.

The standard for elite-level Pokémon is a minimum of 1000 calories, while the standard for professional-level Pokémon is 2 calories.

Su Hao wanted to use a testing device to compare the values before and after eating the candy.

However, energy values cannot be used to determine the strength of a Pokémon.

For example, a Pokémon with strong defense and excellent recovery abilities can hold its own against Pokémon stronger than itself for a long time.

Some Pokémon are skilled in various moves, and with these moves complementing each other, they can even overcome stronger opponents.

Ultimately, energy values only represent the Pokémon's output.

With the trainer's command, tactical arrangements, and team coordination, even a team weaker than its opponent in overall strength can create miracles.

Chapter 32 The Effects of Candy

"Heat Cat, unleash your full power with Flame Burst!"

"Meow ow!"

Flames spewed from the Flame Bag formed a fireball, which Hot Cat swatted away.

The fireball, shaped like the Chinese character "大" (big), struck the tester.

Soon, the display screen connected to the energy tester showed numbers.

[3200 calories!]

The fiery explosion that Hot Cat unleashed this time was clearly less powerful than the one it had used when fighting Kong Lingwei.

However, even without the power it had at the time, the Great Flame Burst released by the Flame Cat with the strength of a mid-level ordinary level still exceeded the standard 1000 calories of an elite level!

After the hot cat comes the little diamond.

"Full power of the moon!"

Moon Power is one of Little Diamond's strongest offensive moves, besides Meteor Beam which requires charging.

"Na!"

A pink full moon formed from fairy energy appeared atop the small diamond head.

After the full moon formed, it continuously emitted a powerful fairy aura to the surrounding area.

Small diamonds bombarded the full moon onto the energy tester.

"boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and pink energy smoke filled the area around the tester, making it impossible to see the specific values.

A moment later, the smoke dissipated.

【Card!】

Little Diamond, at the very beginning of the Elite level, unleashed an attack power equivalent to the late Elite level!

Su Hao was naturally aware of the power of Little Diamond.

As a future mythical beast, Little Diamond can defeat the Elite-level Flying Mantis even at the Normal level.

Before Little Diamond mutated into Diancie, her talents were mostly focused on defensive specialization.

However, even with its defensive specialization, Little Diamond still unleashed an attack at the late stage of the elite level!

Su Hao believes that even when facing professional-level Pokémon, Diamond Smash might be able to put up a fight!

After recording the data before eating the candy, Su Hao took out a Firefly Cat Candy from his system backpack and then bought a Small Diamond Candy from the mall.

The Flame Cat candy is wrapped in black and red wrappers, while the Little Diamond candy is wrapped in brown and pink striped wrappers.

Su Hao peeled off the candy wrapper to reveal the candy inside, which was the same color as the wrapper.

Su Hao handed the candies to Little Diamond and Hot Cat, and they ate them.

After Little Diamond and Hot Cat finished eating, Su Hao used the detection function to check their data.
