"So this is the Professional Trainer's License..."
Fang Yuan held the card-style license, admired it for a few moments, then tossed it to Rotom for safekeeping.
With this, he could not only freely enter various dangerous areas but also secure large interest-free loans and use 95% of public facilities in various nations for free, such as public battlefields, training grounds, Pokemon Centers...
Once a Trainer reached this step, they could basically be considered a successful person.
However, Fang Yuan's mindset had already shifted after broadening his horizons; the professional license was just a new beginning for him.
...
Fang Yuan also received the news that he had become the honorary vice president of the Pingcheng Trainer Association, which left him stunned for quite a while.
In other words, he had unwittingly become the boss of Yang Han, Zhuang Xin, and a bunch of old teachers and school leaders from Pingcheng No.1 Middle School?
Even though the honorary vice president was more of a ceremonial title, it felt amazing. It might be ordinary, but Fang Yuan had to admit the Trainer Association did a great job.
Excitement aside, Fang Yuan didn't have time for a triumphant return home just yet. During his time in White Fish Village, he had received quite a few important pieces of information, and there was too much he needed to do next.
March 3rd.
After completing the fifth stage of his professional assessment internship, Fang Yuan called his family and then hurried to Magic City with Eevee to visit the Genetic Research Institute.
The owner of the Genetic Research Institute was Dr. Li Qing, who was also the wife of the old principal of Magic University and a senior researcher; she was one of the top geneticists in the world.
Fang Yuan estimated that he could be considered half an expert too, even though he hadn't conducted any related research. However, the number of eggs he had hatched might not be much less than those of the genetics doctors... The frequency of his egg hatching was quite brutal, including trying out all sorts of complex chain breeding.
Although, it was only in the game.
At this moment, Fang Yuan had arrived outside the Genetic Research Institute.
As he walked, Fang Yuan noticed that the Genetic Research Institute had almost no security forces, which was fairly normal.
Principal Mo was a retired two-star Master Level Trainer, and many of his main Pokemon were kept at the institute. With these Pokemon around, they were far more reliable than ordinary security personnel.
After all, it was not possible for professional trainers or master level trainers to constantly serve as security for a research institute.
But Pokemon could.
So letting Pokemon and technology serve as the institute's security forces was the choice of most researchers.
Fang Yuan did the same... Luo Kuo was convinced by Fang Yuan to work as a security guard for the Fang Yuan Institute. A master level invincible Nine Tails proficient in illusion techniques, who could also summon the top-level combat power—the millennial old Gengar from the Sun and Moon Forest at any time; the security forces of the Fang Yuan Institute were probably tough for any trainer to breach...
"Ding dong~"
Fang Yuan arrived at the door of the Genetic Research Institute and rang the doorbell.
After a moment, the door was opened by an elderly woman with a head full of silver hair, heavy brow and crow's feet wrinkles.
"Dr. Li Qing, I hope I'm not intruding."
Before visiting, Fang Yuan had already given a heads-up.
"Not at all."
Dr. Li Qing squinted at Fang Yuan. Although they seldom interacted, she was quite familiar with him.
Xie Qingyi and Principal Mo had mentioned Fang Yuan to her more than once.
```
Meanwhile, Dr. Li Qing also looked towards the Eevee waving its paw on Fang Yuan's shoulder, and with a slight smile, she too was one of the few privy to Eevee's ability to evolve freely.
In the research institute, apart from Dr. Li Qing, the retired principal from Magic University was also present. In fact, Fang Yuan's visit this time was at the invitation of the retired principal from Magic University.
The retired principal from Magic University, short in stature and dressed in a dark blue robe, was making tea. His weather-beaten face bore the hardships of decades, and as Fang Yuan was brought in, he slowly stood up, "Try the Secret Realm Bitter Tea."
"...Thank you, Principal." Fang Yuan chuckled. Secret Realm Bitter Tea, the highest-grade tea, had the effect of strengthening the body. Made from special plants in the secret location, it couldn't give one a superhuman physique like a super new person, but regular consumption would certainly enhance one's resistance.
After the three of them sat down, they got straight to the point.
"The United Dojo Committee is organizing the Eight Major United Dojos, have you heard about it?" the retired principal from Magic University asked.
Fang Yuan nodded. Before the World Pokémon Alliance conference, many trainers from around the world would come to the Hua Nation for training, mainly at the Eight Major United Dojos.
A United Dojo is formed by the temporary merger of several dojos, creating a completely new dojo.
This United Dojo may still focus on a single attribute or a single skill, or it could involve multiple attributes and compound skills.
"The Ghost King Dojo in Ghost City is one of the ghost type dojos in the Eight Major United Dojos. That place is also close to the Spirit World Mystery, which is at the very core area. You must want to evolve that Gengar from the Sun and Moon Forest through the Spirit Realm's Radio Waves, right? This would be the best choice for you, and I've already secured you the opportunity to train in the Spirit World. When the secret location opens, you can just go to the Ghost King Dojo," the retired principal from Magic University explained.
"Thank you very much," Fang Yuan said. The Spirit World Mystery in the most core area? That sounds quite promising.
Both the Glutton and the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster will be blessed.
"And about that entrepreneurial idea of yours... have you come up with any new research lately?" inquired the curious retired principal of Magic University.
"Hmm... I have one for now."
"It seems that I have figured out the natural evolution condition of Ugly Fish... just one key element short of great success."
"Oh, so you know how Ugly Fish... wait a second, what did you say?" The retired principal from Magic University had been tranquil since Fang Yuan's arrival.
But as Fang Yuan spoke up this time, he froze and muttered, "Really?"
"This is a major research project," Dr. Li Qing's eyes slightly widened in disbelief.
"It's true..." Fang Yuan said.
The retired principal from Magic University was silent for a long while before saying, "The world competition seems like fun, doesn't it? Why not... skip the selection and focus on remaining here to conduct research, wouldn't that be better?"
This Fang Yuan, he was coming up with new projects at a speed even more terrifying than Xie Qingyi's—what was the point of hammering away as a trainer, he could absolutely go on to shock the academic world again!
"Ah..." Fang Yuan immediately became serious, how could that be, and replied, "But my research has hit a snag, and only by winning battles do I sometimes have an inspiration... "
"..." The retired principal from Magic University and Dr. Li Qing.
Meanwhile, Eevee watched quietly as Fang Yuan bluffed... What snag? Isn't it just about feeding it Energy Blocks? Fang Yuan's research had never really seen any stumbling, and inspirations... mostly came to him just by walking a few steps.
In this respect, Eevee had to admit that Fang Yuan was somewhat impressive...
"Let's talk about something else... now that you've become a professional trainer, the school plans to give you a Ditto as an assistant Pokémon for your use. Teacher Tang Sheng should have told you about this, right?" the retired principal from Magic University, feeling exhausted, changed the subject while Dr. Li Qing nodded in agreement. Her institute's Dittos, reared with great care, were among the most talented and had the highest potential. They were usually only gifted to Magic University students with potential and talent. Fang Yuan was clearly not much inferior to her own student, Xie Qingyi. Having an all-purpose Ditto would ensure Fang Yuan's safety even more.
"This... I have already heard," Fang Yuan had long coveted the Ditto, carefully nurtured by Dr. Li Qing...
