Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer.

In the Yeci Plan, given Carl's abilities, he doesn't need to be responsible for teaching students who are just getting started with Pokémon battles or who are simply interested in them.

Carl was truly responsible for teaching students like Nemo who had a high aptitude for Pokémon battles and aspired to become professional trainers.

After listening to Ye Ci's arrangement, Karl nodded knowingly. In Karl's words from his previous life, it meant that Karl would be the teacher of the "Battle Enhancement Class".

“I have no problem with that. Rather, I’m only good at teaching students who have a talent for battle strategy.” Karl smiled helplessly as if he had thought of something. “I actually have a headache with students who know nothing about the basics of Pokémon battles.”

“Then it’s settled.” Ye Ci wasn’t surprised by Karl’s words. Geniuses think completely differently from ordinary people. It would be a shameful waste of resources to have a genius teach an ordinary person. As the chairman of Padia Academy, Ye Ci would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Clavel, arrange course selection for Carl as soon as possible. Before sending the course list to Carl, you need to conduct a screening first," Ye Ci immediately instructed Clavel.

“I will arrange it as soon as possible, Chairman,” Clavel replied.

"By the way, Principal Claver, if a student named Piper applies for my course, please approve it." Karl suddenly remembered that his younger brother hadn't taken the basic combat course before, so he hurriedly said to Claver.

“Pipah?” Claver looked at Carl with some surprise after hearing the name.

Judging from Claver's expression, he seemed to know Piper.

“Yes, Principal Claver, you know him?” Carl said, casting an inquiring glance at Ye Ci, who was standing to the side.

“Claver is a friend of Pipa’s parents,” Yeci explained with a smile. “They have a very good relationship.”

"I see," Karl said, suddenly realizing.

“As far as I remember, Piper has never been interested in Pokémon battles.” Clavel looked at Karl, his tone somewhat troubled: “Karl, you…”

“Principal Claver, don’t worry, Piper is now determined to improve his combat skills.” Karl explained gently, “As his cousin, I would never harm him.”

After hearing Karl's last words, Clavel looked at Yeci with some surprise. Only after seeing Yeci's confirming look did he agree.

After discussing the future teaching arrangements, Ye Ci glanced at the wall clock and then said to Karl, "It's almost time. Let's go, Mr. Karl, and meet your future colleagues."

“Okay, Chairman Yeci,” Karl replied with a smile.

Led by Claver, Carl and Yeci arrived at a conference room at the end of a corridor.

When Carl and his two companions entered the conference room, Carl glanced around and noticed that everyone sitting there was someone he knew.

"Hello everyone, this is Karl, our new combat studies instructor at Orange Academy. I think you've all seen his videos online recently." Ye Ci introduced Karl to everyone as she sat down at the head of the conference room.

"Hello everyone, I'm Carl, from the Sinnoh region. It's an honor to work with you all." Carl smiled and gave a brief self-introduction to the teachers present, then casually found a chair in the conference room and sat down.

With everyone present, Orange Academy's first faculty and staff meeting since the "Great Purge" officially began.

"Everyone, I think you are all aware of the heinous incident that happened at Orange Academy some time ago. All of you here are teachers I personally recruited to Orange Academy, so I think you should understand the importance of Orange Academy to the Padia region."

The moment Ye Ci finished speaking, her gaze suddenly sharpened: "I don't want to hear about similar incidents happening again at Orange Academy, so everyone must pay close attention to such incidents when they are at the academy."

"I support Chairman Yeci's proposal." Tim, who had just stepped down as gym leader and joined Orange Academy as a math teacher, was the first to speak up in support: "Orange Academy is a place for teaching and nurturing people, and we shouldn't let those messy people and things pollute the academy's environment."

As Tim spoke, the other teachers chimed in.

Seeing that everyone understood her meaning, Ye Ci did not dwell on the topic any further and moved on to the next issue.

As the meeting progressed, Karl became somewhat drowsy. In his view, the meeting was essentially a small gathering that Ye Ci was holding for her "confidants" within Orange Academy.

Most of the work arrangements for the spring semester are decided through this small meeting, while trivial matters such as the "sports meet" are decided through a meeting of all faculty and staff.

As an "outsider," Karl came to Orange Academy simply to teach and educate students. He had no need to care about anything else.

Just as Carl's head was nodding off, about to hit the table, he heard someone calling his name.

Carl was immediately jolted awake and looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

A young woman with a high black ponytail and wearing a black tracksuit was looking at Karl with a fierce expression.

Huangbo is a teacher of the combat course at Orange Academy and also the childhood friend of Lip, the gym leader of Bakegudo Gym.

In the game's storyline, Obo's presence is not very prominent. Apart from seeing her during the gym test at the Bakedo Gym, players will not take the Battle Academy course in most cases during their first playthrough. After all, most players have much more battle experience than Obo and do not need her guidance at all.

"Hmm, what's going on?" Karl muttered subconsciously, clearly not understanding what had happened since he hadn't been paying attention.

The linguistics teacher, Serge, sitting next to him whispered, "Karl, Professor Huangbo wants to have a friendly match with you."

"Huh?" Karl was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then he gave Serge a grateful look, and then turned to Huang Bo and nodded in agreement, "No problem, after the meeting, is that okay? I have something to do this afternoon."

“Then let’s borrow that arena in downtown Tabletop.” Ye Ci said with a smile, “We can take this opportunity to officially announce that you, Karl, have joined Orange Academy.”

Karl's expression froze upon hearing this. Why did he have this feeling that Ye Ci had set him up?

Chapter 106 Shinji: Are you awake?

The moment Karl agreed, Ye Ci gave Claver a wink, and Claver immediately understood, taking out his phone to send a text message.

Not long after, Orange Academy's official account posted a thread titled "Who is he?" on the campus forum, along with a screenshot of a video of Karl and Qishu fighting.

Although Karl's figure was blurred with a black filter in the accompanying image, most students who had seen the video still recognized him.

As a result, the Orange Academy's campus forum immediately exploded, with comments appearing below the post, and many students began to discuss the significance of the official academy account posting this.

At the same time, Shinji, who had just downloaded the campus forum app under Nemo's guidance, also came across this extremely popular post.

"Hey, the academy's official account posted another message." Nemo looked at the notification that popped up on her phone, clicked on it curiously, and then said excitedly, "Brother Karl is going to spar with Teacher Huangbo at the arena in downtown Zhuotai!"

Just then, Pipa, who had just finished class, sent Nemo a message: "Nemo, has Karl arrived yet?"

Without saying a word, Nemo forwarded the post to Pipa.

There was a moment of silence in the chat box, then Pipa sent another message: "Where are you guys?"

After Nemo sent her location, Pipa immediately replied, "Wait for me, I'm coming right away!"

With the second post published by the official Orange Academy account, many students have already speculated that Carl will join the academy.

However, speculation is one thing, and many students remain cautiously optimistic until a definitive conclusion is reached.

After all, not all students at Orange Academy are interested in Pokémon battles; in fact, it could be said that most students at Orange Academy are not interested in Pokémon battles at all.

The Padmyo region is neither as "simple and honest" as the Kanto and Johto regions, nor as competitive as the Galar region. The vast majority of Padmyo residents are not enthusiastic about Pokémon battles, which is why Yaji is so keen on cultivating and introducing talent.

After the meeting ended, Karl arranged to spar with Huang Bo at the arena in downtown Zhuotai in half an hour, and then left first.

When Carl arrived at the gates of Orange Academy, after meeting with Piper and the others, he first asked Shinji with concern, "Have you completed the enrollment procedures?"

“It’s all taken care of, Master.” Shinji said calmly, “I just need to tidy up the dorm a little, and I can move in tonight.”

"That's good." Carl said, then turned to look at Nemo and Pipa, asking with a puzzled expression, "Why are you two looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No." Pipa blinked. "But Karl, are you going to have a Pokémon battle with Orihime-sensei later?"

"Huh? How did you..." Karl realized before he could finish speaking, "Damn, I really did get set up."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off now!" Nemo said excitedly. "I heard that Professor Obo is a good friend of Gym Leader Lip, so her strength must be quite good."

Shinji secretly looked forward to the battle. Although he knew that there was a huge gap in strength between Karl and Houbo, based on his understanding of Karl, he believed that Karl would most likely treat this battle as a training match.

Half an hour later, the battleground in the city center of the table.

News of Karl's battle against Huang Bo spread throughout the entire Tabletop City in just half an hour, and the battlefield was now surrounded by a dense crowd.

Karl's lips twitched at the sight. He couldn't understand whether it was because he was too famous or because Huang Bo was very popular with the students that such a simple sparring match had attracted so many onlookers.

When the appointed time arrived, Karl and Huangbo walked out from the edge of the battlefield and stood at the designated spot.

With the sound of a whistle, the "sparring" officially began.

In fact, the timing of Orihime's challenge to Carl was very bad, because Carl did not know in advance that he would be battling Orihime today, so he only brought three Pokémon to Tabletop City: Vibranium, Corviknight, and Charizard.

Even those unfamiliar with Huang Bo could roughly judge from her appearance that she was most likely a trainer skilled in Fighting-type combat.

As luck would have it, all three Pokémon Carl brought with him today have a type that is super effective against Fighting-type Pokémon.

Therefore, after some hesitation, Carl ultimately decided to send Charizard into the battle.

On the other hand, Huangbo didn't think as much as Karl did. She had already decided which Pokémon to send out when she extended the battle invitation to Karl.

As two beams of white light flashed across the battlefield, two Pokémon with distinct appearances appeared.

"It's Iron Palm Warrior?" Shinji said with some surprise.

Iron Fist, a Pokémon that pushes others, first appeared in Generation III. Although its body looks somewhat fat, it is actually full of muscles all over its body.

In the original timeline, Shinji also recruited a Iron Fist Warrior to fight against the leader of the pyramid, Pharaoh Shinji, but his plan failed.

The moment the two Pokémon appeared in the battle, Carl and Orihime's commands rang out almost simultaneously:

"Charizard, fly up and use Air Blade!"

"Iron Palm Warrior, use the Sharp Stone Attack!"

Carl wasn't surprised that Orochi used Stone Edge, since most single Fighting-type Pokémon would learn a few Rock-type moves to deal with Flying-type Pokémon.

Upon hearing their respective trainers' commands, the two Pokémon immediately sprang into action. However, compared to Ironhide, which could only dig at rocks on the ground, Charizard, with its air superiority, had a significant advantage.

The moment it heard Karl's command, Charizard understood Karl's tactical intentions. While gathering the energy of its flight attribute, it also flapped its wings and moved at high speed in the air.

Faced with Charizard's elusive movements in the air, Iron Fist's Stone Attack predictably missed its mark. Although it managed to block a few air blades with the thrown stones, it did little to help the current situation.

For a Fighting-type trainer like Orihime, she has a complete system for dealing with Flying-type Pokémon that have air superiority.

After using a few tricks to deal with Flying-type Pokémon, Houbo found that these tricks, which had been invincible against Flying-type Pokémon, were not very useful against Carl and Charizard.

Even with all her methods, she posed no threat whatsoever to Charizard.

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Karl thought for a moment and gave the command to Charizard: "Charizard, swoop down and use your claws to fight Iron Fist Warrior in close combat."

When Huang Bo heard Karl's command, her first reaction was that Karl had actually given up air superiority? However, she quickly realized that Karl was giving her a way out.

'Isn't Karl afraid I'll turn the tables on him?'

If Shinji knew what Orihime was thinking at that moment, he would definitely say to her, "When did you get the misconception that Charizard is weak in melee combat? Are you even aware of the truth?"

The ensuing battle confirmed this hypothesis: no matter how Iron Fist Warrior attacked, Charizard always seemed to anticipate its moves, intercepting and retaliating against them.

In Charizard's view, Iron Fist Warrior's punches were neither fast enough nor heavy enough, and were incomparable to his older brother's punches.

As the final dragon claw strike landed, the Iron Palm Warrior finally collapsed from exhaustion.

As for Charizard, it yawned in full view of everyone and voluntarily crawled back into Carl's Poké Ball.

“Boring,” Shinji commented.

Chapter 107 Zhu Lan's Call

After the match, Orange Academy's official account also announced on the forum that Karl had officially joined Orange Academy as a combat studies teacher.

The news immediately sparked a "storm" on the college forum.

For any student aspiring to become a professional trainer, Carl's course is an invaluable opportunity.

Unfortunately, when some clever students entered the course selection system to take Karl's courses, they discovered that to take Karl's combat studies course, they needed to have received an A+ grade in the basic combat studies course.

This single condition alone filters out the vast majority of students who intend to take Carr's course, not to mention that this is just one of the most basic requirements.

However, course selection was not within Carl's considerations; his only responsibility was to teach knowledge in class.

In a dark and gloomy dormitory at Orange Academy, Peony, who was surfing the internet intensely, also saw the news on the academy forum.

Although Peony is usually a nobody in the academy, for some reason, she just happened to get an A+ in her basic combat course.

After considering it for a while, Peony finally decided to take Karl's combat studies course. In her opinion, no matter how strong Karl was, he shouldn't be stronger than her father. (Note 1)

Meanwhile, in a battle arena within Orange Academy, Alex, who had just finished a match, also saw the news that Karl had officially joined Orange Academy.

Upon seeing this message, Alex immediately logged into the academy's course selection system and added Carl's combat studies course to his schedule without hesitation.

The same scene was quietly unfolding in every corner of Orange Academy, and Karl was completely unaware of it.

When Ye Ci saw the surge in course applications in the background, a knowing smile appeared on her face.

"Indeed, inviting Karl to join Orange Academy was a very wise decision," Ye Ci murmured to herself.

……

After returning to the farm from Tabletop City, Carl temporarily put the matter of Orange Academy out of his mind and then discussed the farm's next development plan with Metagross.

Based on yesterday's inspection of the farm, it is now progressing well, so Carl plans to begin his next step – establishing a tree orchard.

In fact, Carl had long wanted to establish a tree orchard on the farm, but when he first took over the farm, he only wanted to get it on track as soon as possible, so he did not choose the option of planting tree fruit, which has a longer profit cycle.

Upon learning of Carl's next plan, Metagross immediately recovered from his previously listless state of mind.

In fact, planting berries is an unavoidable topic for every farm. After all, berries are an important "cornerstone" in the development of the Pokémon world, and their influence on the Pokémon world is ubiquitous.

In the game's lore, berries are actually a basic item introduced in Generation III.

Berries hold a similar status to fruits in the Pokémon world; they can be eaten by both Pokémon and humans.
