Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

The other candidates who had just arrived became anxious when they saw the first group of people had already gone into the water, but there was nothing they could do. They also knew that if they went into the water in their current state, it would basically be the same as suicide.

Swimming is different from running. You can still communicate while jogging at a rhythmic pace.

But swimming is not an option. The moment they enter the water, there is only one thing they need to do, and that is to reach the other side.

In fact, Su Yuan didn’t know how to swim very well. In the summer, he would just soak in the pool at most.

But now, with the help of the golden finger, he not only learned to swim, but also swam very standardly. Even though he had just finished running ten kilometers in less than ten minutes, Su Yuan was soon in the lead.

Soon Su Yuan arrived at the center of the lake. He seemed to see something on the water surface. When he emerged from the water, he found it was a Pokémon.

No, to be precise, it was a person standing on the Pokémon's back.

"Oh, someone's here so soon."

The man was also a little surprised.

"Hello students, I am the invigilator for the swimming section and I am also responsible for rescue work."

Only then did Su Yuan see clearly that the Pokémon in front of him was a giant flying fish. This Pokémon looked a bit like the manta ray in the original world, but it was much cuter than the manta ray.

Standing on the back of the giant flying fish was a young female teacher wearing a swimsuit. She was very white, which was not right, and very long, which was also not right.

"What's wrong, classmate? Do you need help?"

The female teacher thought that Su Yuan had a leg cramp and suddenly lost consciousness, so she immediately bent down and asked with concern.

However, Su Yuan's first reaction was that it was so big and so white. Are all university teachers so young these days?

Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly shook his head.

"It's okay. I thought it was a wild Pokémon so I came to check it out. I'll continue the game."

After saying that, without staying any longer, Su Yuan dived into the water and continued to move towards the other side.

Su Yuan was fine, nothing happened along the way. But the students behind him were in a mess, many of them hadn't caught their breath yet and jumped into the water in a hurry, and they got cramps after swimming a short distance.

Fortunately, there were invigilators watching in the first half, and they pulled out of the water one by one those candidates who almost got themselves killed.

Those who have good psychological endurance decide to take a break and continue after they have calmed down.

But some people with poor psychological endurance simply chose to give up. After all, the experience of walking through the gates of hell was really too terrifying.

So at this section by the lake, some candidates were persuaded to give up traveling and studying, and it would be better to go back to class.

Chapter 118: A Test of Willpower

Finally, Su Yuan successfully reached the other side in twenty-six minutes. Now he only needed to ride his bike to complete the last stage to end this assessment.

However, he was not in a hurry to ride away. After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he took off his shirt and wrung out some of the water from the wet shirt.

"I think nothing will happen to Zhang Long."

After putting his clothes back on, Su Yuan looked towards the lake with some worry.

Soon, several black spots appeared on the lake. They were the candidates swimming behind him. He soon saw Zhang Long among them.

"It's okay, as long as you're okay."

Zhang Long in the lake also saw Su Yuan on the shore and immediately sped up.

"Hoo~!"

After successfully landing, Zhang Long took a deep breath.

"Fuck, didn't you say that it's better to be steady and not swim so fast? Why are you swimming so fast?"

"It's okay, just keep the pace."

Su Yuan patted his shoulder and said.

"Alright, we just need to complete the last stage and then we're done. Let's take a break."

Zhang Long nodded and stopped talking. He was really tired.

While the two were resting, people came ashore one after another, and Ning Zhi also arrived successfully not long after Zhang Long went ashore.

"You two are amazing. You can swim so fast after running ten kilometers."

Ning Zhi sat down on the ground and complained.

"Generally speaking, we can only say that we are good at swimming."

"Don't you see where I grew up? My hometown is by the Yellow River."

"Sure, you guys are awesome."

Su Yuan glanced at the sky. Fortunately, it was a clear day today. The sun shining on their bodies made the people who had just come out of the lake not feel that cold. But even so, they couldn't stay any longer.

He glanced at the bicycle next to him and said.

"Just rest for a while. If you stay too long, your body temperature will be imbalanced. We'll set off right away once you've recovered."

"Row."

This time, the three of them rested for less than ten minutes before preparing to set off. During this period, many candidates still arrived successfully, but the number was obviously much less than the number of people who arrived at the lake before.

Many who were not good at swimming were directly fished out by the teacher.

Su Yuan felt that the time was about right, so he called Zhang Long and Ning Zhi to get on their bicycles. With the sound of sliding chains, the three of them rushed out first.

Although cycling is easier than the previous two events, the cycling race is as long as 40 kilometers, and the physical strength required to ride this distance is also tremendous.

The three of them took turns to be in the front row and break the wind.

The cyclist at the front needs to expend more energy than the cyclists at the back because the wind resistance they have to withstand is much greater.

In order to save energy, the three of them took turns to take on the task of breaking the wind. At first, the other candidates did not understand why they did this, but as their riding became more and more strenuous and the distance between them and Su Yuan and the others became farther, they finally reacted.

While riding on the road, Su Yuan suddenly remembered that the bicycle seemed to be a classic element in the Pokémon series of games. Su Yuan still remembered that there was a bicycle lane in several versions, a road specifically for bicycles.

However, in the ninth generation, people no longer ride bicycles, but ride mythical beasts instead. It is also quite awesome that the cover god is used as a mount right from the start.

When Su Yuan thought of this, he became curious. He didn't know how the Padia region had developed in this timeline, nor did he know what happened to Papa's parents.

The unfortunate kid Pepper is also quite miserable. No matter which version he plays, his parents have to be stabbed. This originally sunny boy was forced to play the role of Batman by the screenwriter.

If Su Yuan had the chance to go to Padya and help this young man, he wouldn't mind helping him, provided that he had the ability.

After all, the Zero Area looks quite mysterious. When playing Zhu Zi, Su Yuan always felt that the Zero Area was not as simple as described in the plot. It's a pity that the DLC had not been released when the world line changed, otherwise Su Yuan might be able to learn something from the expanded content of the DLC.

The wind whistled past their ears as the three of them rode along. It was easy at first, but gradually they began to feel the strain.

The distance of more than 40 kilometers is not entirely a straight line, there are several 90-degree turns.

They all guessed that it must be circling in circles for such a long distance, but they were not sure what it was circling around and how big the circle was.

Now they understand why triathlon is more of a test of people's willpower.

When Su Yuan rode to the back, he felt like he was almost numb, and even had the idea of ​​giving up.

I'm so tired. What's the point of wasting time? Forget it. Just go back to class. It's so comfortable to lie in the dorm.

Fortunately, every time Su Yuan thought of this, he would look up at the deputy examiner who was supervising the exam in the sky, and take a look at the domineering Pidgeot that was left of him.

Damn, why just lie there? I'm going to go explore and look for Pokémon in the wild!

With his longing for Pokémon, Su Yuan gritted his teeth and persevered.

Finally, when the sun reached the center of the sky, Su Yuan and the other two saw the key point.

"It's the finish line! We're almost there, we're almost there, come on!"

Su Yuan cheered excitedly, and then no longer cared about breaking the wind or not, and accelerated directly towards the key point.

Seeing the finish line, Zhang Long and Ning Zhi began to accelerate as if all their potential had been stimulated.

"Toot~!"

"Su Yuan has completed the assessment, Zhang Long has completed the assessment, and Ning Zhi has completed the assessment."

When they heard the examiner announce that the three of them had completed the assessment, they dropped their bicycles and sat on the ground.

"Fuck, I feel like I'm fainting."

Ning Zhi sat on the ground and complained weakly.

"Stop talking, I feel like I don't want to move anymore."

Zhang Long simply lay down on the ground, completely ignoring the examiner's gaze.

Su Yuan also felt unprecedentedly tired.

Looking at the three tired people, the examiner also took out a Poké Ball.

"Young people should exercise more. Come out, Jigglypuff."

"Lucky~!"

A pink Jigglypuff egg appeared behind the three of them.

"Oh, it's actually Jigglypuff."

Ning Zhi looked at the Jelly Egg and said with some surprise.

However, Su Yuan's first reaction when he saw Chansey was a chill. After all, as a combatant, Su Yuan had been tortured by Chansey many times. Chansey was the ultimate defense and a super meat shield.

Generally speaking, if Su Yuan sees Chansey in a battle but there is no special Pokémon that can break the bottom, then he will choose to be direct. In this case, he lost the point. In the time it takes to fight one round with this powerful bottom, Su Yuan has already finished two rounds.

The examiner said to Jigglypuff.

"Jelly Egg, help them relieve their fatigue."

"Lucky~!"

Jigglypuff waved his little hands and released a strange energy to the three people. Under the effect of this energy, they actually felt that their sore muscles were relieved.

"Is this a healing wave?"

Su Yuan recognized this skill. His own Mibrim also knew it and had used it to create miracles before.

Zhang Long, who was lying on the ground, sat up directly.

"Phew! I'm alive. Thanks to Jigglypuff."

"Lucky~!"

Chansey smiled, waved his hand, and returned to the examiner's Poké Ball.

Chapter 119: Final Assessment, Indiscriminate Fight

By noon, the invigilator along the way accompanied the last candidate to complete the test. The final time taken by the last candidate was three hours.

But fortunately, at least he persevered with his strong willpower.

In this triathlon, only two-thirds of the candidates completed the assessment and received their results.

At the same time, this also means that one-third of the people chose to give up, and they would probably fail the final assessment.

Unless they really get full marks in not only the first few assessments but also the later assessments as the examiner said, otherwise they will basically have no chance of passing the assessment if they lose the points for the triathlon.

Looking at the candidates who passed the test, the examiner took out the loudspeaker again.

"Okay, let me congratulate you here. You have successfully completed the triathlon assessment. Regardless of your results, at least your willpower is strong enough.

This strong willpower will be your best weapon on the road to growth and your greatest wealth."

However, the candidates did not react much. After this triathlon, they basically did not even have the energy to speak, let alone express their opinions.

In order to allow the candidates to continue with the final examination in the afternoon, the chief examiner called in a medical team. With the help of the medical team, the physical fatigue of the candidates was relieved, but the mental exhaustion may take some time to heal.

Lunch was delivered by the kitchen of the experience camp. If nothing else, the food was definitely not bad.

After eating and drinking, there is an hour's rest time. When this hour is over, all candidates will face the final test.

"Yuan, you said the final test this afternoon should be a battle, right?"

After changing back into his clothes, Zhang Long said to Su Yuan.

"It should be done."

Su Yuan changed into his own clothes, put on his baseball cap, put on his coat and straightened his collar.

"However, judging from the assessment items this morning, this assessment is really as unusual as the director said. I think the assessment this afternoon will definitely not be easy, so be careful this afternoon."
