Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

"We need to change our plans. We want to make Xia Mu feel at home!"

"I have never approved of this matter! A teacher's duty is to guide students and help them grow. Therefore, even if Xia Mu has done many bad things in the past, I still believe that we cannot treat Xia Mu as a suspect!"

The person speaking to Clavel at this moment is Hachisaku, the art teacher at Orange Academy and one of the current Four Heavenly Kings, who comes from a family of dragon trainers in the Padia region.

As a man who gave up inheriting his family's business to pursue a career as a teacher, he met Shaka, a dragon-type master who was also dedicated to education. As a result, he had heard the name Xia Mu from Shaka.

“Mr. Shaka once told me, ‘As an educator, you must treat your students like Dragon-type Pokémon. Even if you don’t see progress for a long time, you can’t give up on raising them.’”

"I've watched Xia Mu's videos and heard other people's opinions about him, so I know that although Xia Mu has many shortcomings, he also has many strengths..."

Upon hearing Hachisaku's statement, Clavel immediately grabbed Hachisaku's hand.

"Well said! I knew that Mr. Hachisaku was very responsible, which is why I specifically asked you to come. Mr. Oboku got injured during training, so the important task of being Natsuki's homeroom teacher is now in your hands, Mr. Hachisaku!"

Bashuo:? ? ?

Seeing Claver's excited expression, Hachisaku felt like he had been tricked.

"Principal, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Hachisaku, but anyway, I'm leaving the task of making Natsuki feel at home to you!"

"..."

Hachisaku is now certain that the old geezer in front of him did it on purpose.

You can't figure out what to do yourself, so you just dump the work on your subordinates. You...

Hachisaku began to consider sending Clavel a passionate wild game invitation.

However, at this very moment...

Claver continued, "As a principal, I can't truly understand a student's heart, so I'll try to understand Natsuki from another perspective! Anyway... Mr. Hachisaku, I think what you just said is excellent! As educators, we should have this kind of belief!"

Let's work together to make Orange Academy even better!

Looking at Clavel, who was extending his hand to him, and then at the sincere look in his eyes behind his glasses, Hachisaku nodded.

"I will postpone the invitation to the outdoor competition!"

???

Claver gave a strange look.

……

The next morning.

As Xia Mu sat in the classroom waiting for his beautiful homeroom teacher to arrive, a man with golden hair, whose hairstyle looked exactly like the Chinese character "八" (eight) from the front, walked in by pushing open the door.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hachisaku, and I was your class teacher during your Tai Crystal training! I was also responsible for teaching you the basic knowledge about Tai Crystallization!"

Although she didn't know why she suddenly got a new homeroom teacher, Xia Mu still applauded enthusiastically after Hachisaku finished his self-introduction.

Although there are no beautiful female teachers, the other party is at least one of the Four Heavenly Kings... I can take advantage of him!

Xia Mu's applause grew even more enthusiastic.

Clapping!

Seeing this, Hachisaku nodded inwardly.

Is this child really as exaggerated as others say?

Isn't this a sign of respect for teachers?!

As Hachisaku nodded in satisfaction at Natsuki, and the applause subsided, Hachisaku began the essential ritual for each newly formed class.

"Now... let's all introduce ourselves, starting with Xia Mu!"

???

Xia Mu, sitting in the back row by the window, looked puzzled.

Don't these things usually start from the front?

but……

Luckily, I prepared in advance!

Xia Mu tugged at his collar, then straightened his hips and placed his hands vertically behind his back in a strange pose.

"My name is Xia Mu. I live in the last room on the left side of the stairs at the Pokémon Center in Raven City, Unova Region. It has the second best lighting in the entire Pokémon Center. Don't ask me why it's not the best, I'm not going to tell you!"

"I am currently unmarried and live a leisurely life relying on Pokémon. I always get home before 8 p.m. at the latest every night. I don't smoke and only drink a little alcohol."

I go to bed at 11 pm, ensuring I get a full eight hours of sleep. Before bed, I drink a glass of warm milk and do 20 minutes of relaxation exercises before going to bed. I can almost sleep soundly until dawn. I wake up in the morning feeling like a baby, without any fatigue or stress to greet the next day. Even Miss Joey says I'm perfectly normal!

"..."

"..."

Everyone in the class looked at Xia Mu as if he were a god.

Even Hachisaku was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted.

"Okay, thank you for your self-introduction, Xia Mu. However, there's no need for a very detailed self-introduction. Next!"

A serious-looking middle-aged man not far from Xia Mu stood up.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Hachisaku immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, things can proceed normally...

But the next second, the man spread his legs apart, put one hand behind his head and the other on his hip, and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Liangying, I'm 33 years old. I live in the area of ​​Sorza Town in the Padia region. I'm unmarried and work in mining in Sorza Town. I not only smoke but also drink. Sometimes I even ride my motorcycle Lizard to race in the middle of the night. Anyway... Officer Jenny says I'll be killed by wild Pokémon sooner or later."

"My name is Star, I'm 25 years old, I live in Niangguang City, I'm unmarried but have a girlfriend, I work at the Messenger Bird chain supermarket, I spend every day with my girlfriend until the early hours of the morning, I don't like drinking or smoking, I just like being with my girlfriend, anyway... not being able to be with her today makes me feel like a dead man!"

"my name……"

A strange style of self-introduction began to circulate in the class, and even Xiaoyao struck a strange pose when introducing herself.

"My name is Xiaoyao, and I live in..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiaoyao, pulled by Ziyu, finally realized what was happening and blushed as she began her normal self-introduction.

Amidst the disappointed looks of all the boys, the girls abandoned this fun self-introduction and chose a very ordinary way of introducing themselves.

In short, under these circumstances, the self-introduction session finally came to an end.

"You will have two days to learn the basics of crystallization. Only those who pass the test will be able to proceed to the next stage of the test!"

Upon hearing Hachisaku's words, everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although many people already knew about Taijing Chemicals before participating in the Taijing training program, just like some experienced drivers still get nervous when taking their driving test, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the class immediately turned tense.

Hachisaku also noticed this.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. The test knowledge is very basic... As long as you study hard, there's basically no chance of failing!"

After comforting everyone, Hachisaku began explaining the knowledge of terrestrial crystallization in front of the whiteboard.

"First, we need to know what hypercrystallization is. Hypercrystallization is a special phenomenon that occurs in the Padilla region, making Pokémon shine like jewels..."

Chapter 246 Am I a gigolo?

For the next period of time, Xia Mu basically kept in a cycle of learning the basics of crystallization and being invited by Nemo to fight.

Until one afternoon.

After Xia Mu had a friendly sparring session with her classmates, Nemo suddenly rushed over in a menacing manner.

"Xia Mu, really! How could you do this?!"

Xia Mu's heart tightened upon hearing Nemo's question.

Could it be that my attempt to resell the Rotom phone online has been discovered?!

Or has it been discovered that I was using the identity of Nemo's rival to sell battle lessons to the students at Orange Academy?!

Countless bad things he had done during this period flashed through Xia Mu's mind, but he still maintained a blank expression on his face.

Nemo also offered an explanation for this.

"If we're talking about Pokémon battles, your opponent should be me! Me, right?!"

Hearing this, Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"So we weren't exposed after all!"

???

"It's nothing. If you want to have a match, have you prepared your allowance?"

Sometimes Nemo is quite easy to fool.

Upon hearing the word "battle," Nemo immediately forgot what Natsuki had just said.

"Come on, I'm ready!"

"very good!"

After earning a large sum of pocket money from Nemo once again, Xia Mu nodded to the Green Vine Snake while counting his small change with satisfaction.

"despair!"

Having just finished its battle, the Green Vine Serpent swiftly lashed out with its vine whip and bound the sunglasses-wearing man who was watching the fight from a nearby crowd.

???

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, the man immediately let out a sharp shout.

"What are you doing? I'll call the police!"

Amid the man's shouts, Xia Mu put the small amount of money into her bag, then slowly stepped forward and took the camera off his chest.

“I felt something was off from the beginning. You’ve been following Nemo ever since she appeared. It would seem too timid to call you a Nemo fan, and while you were holding the camera and pretending to be taking pictures of the scenery, your gaze was actually fixed on Nemo and me the whole time…”

Detective Natsuki appeared online and delivered the final verdict.

"You...you're a pervert!"

"Pervert?!"

Nemo looked shocked.
