Chapter 516: Awkward Results Announcement

At the entrance of the Junior Pokémon Academy, today is the day when the exam results are announced, especially for those graduating third-year students.

All that’s left for them is to collect their initial Pokémon and Pokedex, and then embark on an exciting and unknown adventure.

Alternatively, you can go to a better advanced Pokémon Academy to study and gain more knowledge reserves.

Xiao Lin looked at the peaceful scene, where countless children were holding their parents' hands, their innocent pupils reflecting their longing for the future.

"The atmosphere here is really different from that in Douqi Continent. Everyone is having a great time!"

Xiao Zhen next to him nodded, he still agreed with this very much.

Although there is darkness in the Pokémon world, for example, over thousands of years, many high-ranking members of the alliance have begun to become corrupt and have become disgusting beings that suck the blood of the lower-class people.

In addition, evil organizations that are causing trouble have emerged one after another, making many places chaotic.

Xiao Zhen saw the news on TV last night. Team Rocket, an evil organization nicknamed the Green Bug Team, which has recently gained fame, attacked a certain place again and stole a batch of high-level Pokémon of excellent races.

"Haha, look who this is, Xiaozhi, you are here again!"

As the three of them walked into the academy, a childish and arrogant voice sounded in front of them.

Xiao Lin frowned and looked at the kid who was mocking his grandson. Although he didn't know what "the last one" meant, judging from the tone, it didn't seem to be a good adjective.

Xiaozhi looked at the boy of the same age with anger and said through gritted teeth:

"Xiao Mao, you bastard, what's there to be so arrogant about? Isn't it just that your grades are a little better than mine?"

Xiao Mao raised his head and said, "I think my score will be above 90 again this time. Xiao Zhi, what do you think your score will be?"

Xiaozhi suddenly felt a little guilty. He glanced at his grandfather and father beside him, not knowing what to say next.

Xiao Zhen shook his head and decided to let him step forward to break this awkward situation!

"Xiao Mao, who came to the academy with you today, Professor Oak or your parents?"

Xiao Mao then noticed Xiao Zhen. His eyes had just been on Xiao Zhi, but when he looked carefully, he found that Xiao Zhi's father was also there.

"Uncle Xiao Zhen, long time no see!"

Although Xiao Mao often makes fun of Xiaozhi's grades, he has great respect for Xiaozhi's father.

Not only did Xiaozhi's father win the Kanto League Pokémon Contest, but he was also a hidden rich man who funded many of his family's industries and his grandfather's research.

Xiao Mao explained: "I came here with my sister Nanami this time. My parents and grandfather are very busy. They may have time to accompany me to participate in such a boring thing."

Xiao Zhen smiled and nodded. He had seen Oki Nanami several times. She was a pretty girl. Now that he thought about it, she should be about sixteen or seventeen years old!

After Xiaozhi and Xiaomao argued with each other for half an hour, the teacher began to call a meeting with the students and parents.

Walking into a narrow classroom, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Lin each moved a stool and sat next to Xiao Zhi's seat.

The two of them stood on the left and the right, pressing the nervous Xiaozhi in the middle.

A middle-aged woman at the side said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao Zhen, are you here to attend your child's student union this time?"

After recalling the past in his mind, Xiao Zhen quickly remembered the woman's name and responded with a smile, "Mrs. Oda, long time no see. Hanako has been a bit busy lately, and as a father, I haven't attended a parent-teacher meeting for my child yet. I always feel a bit incompetent."

Mrs. Oda took another look at the spirited old man and asked curiously, "I wonder who this old man is..."

Xiao Zhen said, "This is my father. He came all the way from his hometown to Pallet Town. He wanted to see the scenery here and bring Xiaozhi and his mother back to celebrate the festival."

Mrs. Oda didn't know where the festival was coming up, but she still kindly reminded them.

"Mr. Xiao Zhen, just take care of yourself for a while. Huazi used to live like this too. Alas!"

……

Xiao Zhen saw the teacher on the podium carrying out a stack of papers. He knew that the saddest time was about to come. However, he had already come to this point and could only force his way through.

Xiao Lin looked calm, as he was a strong man who had experienced many storms.

The teacher coughed a few times, then said to everyone under the podium: "Thank you very much to all the parents for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the college's results announcement meeting. I am not a person who likes to talk nonsense, so let me start describing the children's results directly!"

"Sanada Village, score 72, excellent!"

"Naoko Komura, your score is 85 points, which is very good progress. I hope you can become an excellent Pokémon trainer in the future. If you want to study advanced Pokémon, I can give you some recommendations!"

"Otsuka Ningning, score 63, barely passed!"

……

After reading out the names of more than 20 students, some parents were happy and some were sad.

The teacher took a sip of water to moisten his throat and continued to flip through the report card in his hand.

"Oki Shigeru, you scored 94 points. You are worthy of being the grandson of Professor Oki. As a teacher, I suggest that you go to a senior college for further studies. Maybe in the future you can become a great researcher like your grandfather."

Xiao Mao stood up, shook his head at the teacher, and said in a proud tone: "I am not interested in those advanced colleges, and forget about being a researcher in the future!

If possible, I want to become a powerful Pokémon trainer. In short, the champion of the next Kanto League Pokémon Contest will definitely belong to my uncle Xiao Mao."

These arrogant words quickly irritated a certain guy who was not very smart.

Slapping the table, Xiaozhi retorted unconvincedly: "Xiaomao, stop dreaming, the championship will definitely be mine. In the future, I will be like my father, bring the Pokémon competition trophy home, and then show off in front of you!"

Xiao Mao said disdainfully: “As the champion of the previous Kanto League Competitions, Uncle Xiao Zhen is indeed very powerful, I don’t deny that.

But you, Xiaozhi, are just the last in the rankings. You may not even be able to collect all the badges. You still want to be the champion? You are dreaming!"

"Cough cough..."

The teacher gently reminded the two students who were at loggerheads with each other. Although these two little troublemakers might not be under her jurisdiction after today, at least as a teacher, she still had the obligation to mediate.

"Both of you sit down, especially Xiaozhi. Your grades will be revealed next. Listen carefully."

The two little brats looked at each other, snorted coldly at the same time, and sat down on the stool obediently, but there were still sparks in the air.

The teacher opened the last report card and said with some distress:

"The last one is Xiao Zhi, with a score of 11, totally failing!"

Xiao Zhen closed his eyes helplessly. His soul power had already sensed many kinds of gazes, including ridicule, sympathy, and a little surprise.

Old Man Xiao felt that although he was quite thick-skinned, facing the many gazes that were like sharp arrows directed at him, he had the urge to leave immediately.

Xiao Zhen, with his eyes closed, soon received the message from his father.

"What the hell, Xiaozhi's score is too bad. The second to last person got over 30 points. How could he get... such a terrible score?"

Xiao Zhen also felt tired. Perhaps he should have been more firm when he named the child.
