Pokémon development strategy

Elf High School has a chance to win the friendly match against the Yangbella Branch, and the number of students will increase after winning.

However, there are only three teachers in the school now, and Principal Gui’s health is not suitable for teaching, so the new students will suffer.

If the teaching staff cannot keep up, it would be tantamount to being irresponsible to the students. Without suitable teachers, it is only right that the Elf High School will go to ruin.

Principal Gui has also considered this. If Shen Qi does not invite the BC group over, Principal Gui also plans to find new teachers through his own connections after the number of students increases.

It is extremely difficult to recruit teachers for Elf High School.

The requirements are indeed not high. As long as we can reach the level of Kika and the others, it will be enough for the time being. The time, energy and foundation of students on the outer islands are extremely limited. The purpose of going to high school is to learn a skill and the basics of working with Pokémon. A small part of the consideration is further study.

There are even fewer students who become professional trainers or professional drivers.

The minimum requirement for the teacher's ability level is not high, but on the 6th Island, the living conditions are definitely worse than in big cities. There is nothing fun, and there is no room for advancement, and the salary is not that high.

It really feels like I'm generating power with love.

If it weren't for the special nature of the BC combination, with their abilities, it would be no problem for these two to find a small city and live a wealthy life, and they would never come to this remote place.

"I'll take you to the Elf High School first."

Knowing in advance that the BC group would come today, Shen Qi made an appointment with Principal Gui.

There are still more than three hours before the scheduled meeting time, so I will take them to the Elf High School first to familiarize them with the school and the work and living environment.

In case Principal Gui asks about interview related topics, the BC group will be able to give targeted answers.

Instead of driving, Shen Qi walked out with the BC group to familiarize themselves with the ten-minute journey from their home to the Elf High School.

"Have you ever been to Island 6 before?"

"I've been to the base on the 5th island."

That place is called Team Rocket Warehouse, and in fact, whether in the game or in reality, there are Pokémon stolen through transmission loopholes, stolen Pokémon, and corresponding research equipment.

Essentially, it is indeed a base.

While still interning at the Rocket School, the BC team went to the Rocket base on the 5th Island to do odd jobs for training. At that time, they also heard that there was an operation to attack the scientific expedition team on the 7th Island and replace key personnel.

Yamado did not keep it secret from Shen Qi, and there was no need to keep it secret.

The 7th Island Expedition Team that was attacked at that time was from the Deep Gray Science Museum. All the personnel were wiped out and no body was left. Ivory Tulip was there to replace the killed Hinako.

The BC group was at a very low level at that time, and they only heard a rough idea and were not qualified to participate, so they didn’t even pass by the 6th island.

Talking about the not-so-glorious past, the BC group, led by Shen Qi, arrived at the simple and dilapidated school gate.

Putting the past behind them for the time being, they will usher in a new life from the moment they finish serving their sentence and doing compulsory labor and from the moment they step through this door.

“This is the teaching building.”

“Just one teaching building?”

"There are only about 300 students in the three grades combined. What do you think?"

“It’s small enough…”

Among the seven islands, the islanders with better conditions will send their children to schools on the main continent. After the construction of the bridge between the 6th island and the Dejima island, the Yangbella branch is the most direct competitor.

No matter how much affection the residents of the Seven Islands have for the Elf High School, if the gap in teaching quality is too great, they will not risk their family's future to support the Elf High School.

Therefore, Shen Qi had to do two things at the moment. First, he had to make the friendly matches in front of him…even if he couldn’t win most of them, he had to at least show that they were evenly matched and didn’t lose too much;

The second is to introduce teachers.

With the addition of the BC group, even if the number of freshmen doubles, it will only be 100 graduates and 200 recruits, and the total number of students in the school will increase from more than to more than , which is still manageable.

Besides...it is unlikely that the number of new students will be doubled directly. In the first enrollment after the establishment of the Yangbella branch, 1% of the tuition was waived to attract students in order to deal a fatal blow to the Elf High School.

“It is indeed dangerous.”

After learning about the current situation of the Elf High School, Kosaburo was well aware of the importance of this friendly match.

The principal couldn't refuse, he couldn't avoid a fight, but he couldn't lose too badly if he started fighting.

Especially in terms of teachers, if Elf High School only has three teachers with mediocre abilities participating in the competition, it shows how poor the teaching staff is.

The arrival of the BC combination will at least fill up the 5 vacancies in the teacher group.

"Shen Qi."

A call came from the kitchen at the back of the school. It was Xiaochun who was preparing meals for the Pokémon with the service staff.

"Who are these two guests next to you?"

"The teacher I brought with me."

After Shen Qi's introduction, Xiao Sanlang couldn't help but shrink his neck, and Yamado also seemed a little restrained.

There is absolutely no problem with their strength, but since they were adopted by Team Rocket since they were young, they were previously considered members of an evil organization, and now they are called teachers, and they feel guilty.

"Eh? You look so young."

Being young does not negate excellence, as many gym owners are only in their twenties or thirties. Xiao Chun sensed the other party's embarrassment and understood what was going on.

Teachers Kika and Tetsukan get nervous when they have outside guests, and so does Xiaochun.

The two teachers brought by Shen Qi were equally nervous and it seemed that they had no experience in the world. They were all the same and were in the same boat.

"Are you going to take them to see Principal Gui?"

"There's still an hour or two before my appointment. I'll take them to familiarize themselves with the environment."

Xiao Chun was a little worried, "Will our conditions scare people away?"

Chapter 836: Can I Really Stay?

"This... this method..."

In the kitchen of Spirit High School, Xiao Chun was so shocked that he was speechless. He originally thought that the blonde big sister and the green-haired big brother were at the same level as Teacher Kika. After all, they seemed to be uneasy when facing strangers.

But when he got down to work and showed off his Pokémon, Xiao Chun realized there was a huge difference.

The two teachers that Shen Qi found were quite experienced in making homemade Pokémon rations. Whether it was the cooking techniques or the special blending of attribute energies, they were far superior to the service personnel who had worked at the Elf High School for many years.

And their Pokémon lineup.

Houndoom, Arbok, Vash, Nidoking, Nidoqueen...

The two released 11 Pokémon, all of which were well-fed and looked energetic and full of energy.

This is much better than Teacher Kika. The difference is not only that Teacher Kika can't find a boyfriend, but also the difference in the trainers' strength in all aspects.

Would such talents really be willing to stay in the Elf High School?

Xiao Chun was very clear about the treatment at Elf High School. An income of 4000b a month was definitely enough to get by on the 6th Island. Renting a large room at the market would cost at most 500b. The food was very cheap, and he could also use the Elf High School's kitchen.

Within the Seven Islands, apart from the pier on the 1st island, the pier and shrine on the 2nd island, the fruit forest on the 3rd island, and the luxury resort on the 5th island, only positions in official institutions are comparable to the jobs at Elf High School.

If we take away the hard physical labor of working at the docks and the fruit forest, the superiority of the job as a teacher at Elf High School becomes even greater.

The above advantages only apply to the Seventh Island or ordinary islands in the Orange Islands. The two people brought by Shen Qi are obviously not residents of offshore islands. Their strength is obviously much higher than that of the teachers in this school. They can find a job outside and earn several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan a month.

Xiaochun even thinks that these two can join battles or other competitive clubs...

But... Shen Qi took them to experience the work of feeding Pokémon, and visited other places in the school, and then he really took them to meet Principal Gui.

Xiao Chun really hopes that the strength of Elf High School can be improved and that it can get better and better. In fact, the more he takes over the work of service teacher, the more he realizes how weak the foundation of Elf High School is, and that a small pond cannot support big fish.

Can they...really stay?

...

Can we...really stay?

The same question was ringing in the minds of the BC group.

"Principal Katsura, I'm Kosaburo."

"I am Armado..."

At the appointed time, in the principal's office, the BC group introduced themselves.

Kosaburo gritted his teeth and emphasized his past again, "We are students trained by the Rocket Team Training School..."

Team Rocket has a bad reputation in Kanto and even in the world. This past will make many organizations afraid to recruit Kozaburo.

Either work incognito, or... find a club that doesn't mind playing.

Kosaburo and Yamato were eager to have a teaching job on an island with green mountains, clear waters, blue sea and blue sky, but they did not want to hide it from Principal Katsura.

When they arrived at the Seven Islands and went to the Security Station and the 6th Island Branch to register their files, the BC group heard more than once about Principal Katsura's benevolence and generosity.

Such a person will still be respected by others even if he does not have strong trainer skills, strong financial resources and social status.

"Hohoho... Shen Qi has explained your situation very clearly."

Principal Gui pulled his round-brimmed hat down a little lower. "As long as you are willing to stay, Spirit High School doesn't mind your past. After all, you didn't do anything for Team Rocket at all. You just quit after learning some skills."

Kozaburo was flattered to be recognized, "In fact, we have carried out missions before... We opened a breeding house as a disguise and as a base for Team Rocket's operations. We withdrew after completing this mission."

The BC combination has very mature Pokémon breeding skills both in the Mega Evolution world line and in the regular world line, and the reason is that they once ran a breeding house.

The students at the Rocket Team Training School are a group of people who are highly regarded. They are trained to the standards of special agents and need to be proficient in skills in multiple fields and be able to disguise themselves as whatever they are supposed to be.

The BC group is not the best among their peers, but they already have such a foundation.

"Haha, you have accepted the punishment from the judicial and police systems. The authorities have determined that you have regained your freedom after serving your sentence and doing compulsory labor. So don't think about the past and work hard to move forward."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Principal Gui, for taking me in!"

"It's not that I'm taking you in, it's that the Spirit High School really needs high-quality teachers, but we don't have anything to offer."

The salary is just like that, as for whether there is room for improvement in the future...

Principal Gui pointed at Shen Qi and said, "It all depends on the performance of the next principal."

"Principal Gui." Shen Qi shrank to the side. "I can only say that I will do my best."

"You have done a great job. You are more suitable to take over the position of principal than most of the graduates. It all depends on your willingness and whether you are willing to do so."

Principal Gui's health is worrying and he may retire at any time. Once he leaves, no one among the current teachers and students of Elf High School will be able to take over.

Shen Qi has feelings for Elf High School, and at this stage he also understands that the position of "Principal" does not require him to stay in the school all the time to take care of every detail, but is mainly about grasping the general direction and making decisions.

After weighing the pros and cons of a school with a maximum of three to five hundred students, Shen Qi felt that the management difficulty was still within a controllable range.

The real difficulty is how to keep the Elf High School going.

Yamato and Kozaburo have joined, and there are actually other candidates for teachers.

In Shabi City, there is a clerk in Bakery B and Cafe C respectively. They are the staff of the breeding house set up by Team Rocket to cover up their tracks.

Although he had no idea of ​​the true identity of the breeding house, the Rocket Team's operation caused two store clerks to lose their jobs, and no one in his hometown dared to accept him.

The BC group felt bad about it, so they invited them over after they opened a store in Sabi City.

Qianhui, the clerk working for Amado at C Coffee Shop... is a local resident of the 6th Island, and she was the first one to recognize Shen Qi who was wandering in front of B Bakery.

The strength of these two is not as good as that of the BC combination. We will contact them some other day. If they don’t have a good position, we can definitely invite them back to Elf High School.

The number of teachers can be supplemented in a short time, and the number of students will also increase.

So, how should the future of Elf High School be positioned?

Is it focusing on combat, on further studies, or on other aspects?

"Principal Gui, I don't have any experience right now, so I'd like to hear your opinion."

"Pokémon work is the main thing."

Principal Gui gave the answer in his mind very straightforwardly, "Since the establishment of the Spirit High School, my main teaching direction has been to train Pokémon workers."

It would be great to go to university and become a professional athlete, but the most urgent need of most students on offshore islands is to learn a skill and change the continuation of their life of being exposed to the wind and sun, farming and fishing from generation to generation.

Even if you continue to stay in your hometown and do farm work in the future, you can still learn the skills of a Pokémon worker in agriculture.

Chapter 837: Shortage of Manpower

"Principal Gui, we'll take our leave first..."

Everyone had a very enjoyable chat, but Shen Qi was familiar with Principal Gui and could see that he was tired.
