Kenji was montarily speechless. He hadn't expected tropolis Academy to spend so much money, actually securing the Beedrill ga Stone for him.
"However, I must be clear with you upfront: this ga Ring set, along with the Beedrill ga Stone, is an advance reward for winning the National Collegiate League.
"If you ultimately fail to win the National Collegiate League, both the ga Ring and the Beedrill ga Stone must be returned. And if you do win, you won't receive any further championship prize," Director He said, the tone of his voice turning sharp.
But to Kenji, this caveat held no threat at all.
Unless the National League Champion himself ca to fight in the Collegiate League, Kenji truly couldn't imagine an opponent who could stop his ga Beedrill.
If he couldn't win even with this, Kenji might as well stop being a trainer, find a pillar, and end it all.
As for not receiving the National Collegiate League prize, Kenji was completely indifferent. There was nothing more valuable or satisfying than Beedrill's ga Stone.
"Don't worry, Director He. I am absolutely going to win the National Collegiate League championship," Kenji replied with confidence.
Seeing Kenji's certainty, Director He cautioned, "Kenji, I believe in your strength, but I still have to warn you: I've heard that Imperial Academy already has soone who can perform ga Evolution this year. That is precisely why the academy was so desperate to find this Beedrill ga Stone for you.
"Furthermore... the requirents for ga Evolution are extrely strict. It requires the trainer and the Pokémon to achieve a high degree of synchronization and heart-to-heart communication."
Kenji's excitent cald slightly upon hearing this. He wasn't worried about the student from Imperial Academy who could ga Evolve. Even if they could, they wouldn't likely be a match for his Beedrill.
What truly concerned Kenji was the requirent Director He ntioned: achieving heart-to-heart synchronization.
Thinking this over, Kenji first picked up the ga Ring and put it on his wrist.
He then picked up the pendant holding the Beedrill ga Stone.
In the villa's training room.
Kenji personally fastened the ga Stone pendant around Beedrill's neck.
Beedrill looked down at the ga Stone curiously.
Kenji stroked Beedrill's head. "Beedrill, my partner..."
Kenji slowly stepped back two paces. Then, he abruptly raised his arm, his expression instantly becoming serious and intense.
"Beedrill!! Respond to my heart! GA EVOLVE!!"
As Kenji's voice rang out, Beedrill t his gaze. The Key Stone on Kenji's wrist suddenly erupted with a brilliant white light.
At the sa ti, the ga Stone on Beedrill's chest also glowed brightly, as if responding to Kenji!
The light from the Key Stone and the ga Stone intertwined.
The next mont, both lights shot out simultaneously, splitting into several beams that converged in mid-air. A pillar of white light then enveloped Beedrill's body.
Kenji held his breath, not daring to move, lest he interrupt Beedrill's ga Evolution.
"BANG!!—"
To Kenji's dashed hope, the dense white light suddenly shattered. Beedrill reappeared before Kenji, a look of confusion in its scarlet compound eyes.
The ga Evolution had failed...
Kenji frowned, a look of surprise crossing his face.
Director He, who had been observing, walked up. As the Director of a top-tier academy like tropolis, he was well-inford. He instantly recognized the reason for the failure.
"Kenji, the bond between you and Beedrill is there, but you haven't truly achieved that heart-to-heart synchronization."
"Then... Director He, how does one achieve heart-to-heart synchronization?" Kenji asked.
Director He smiled gently. "That's simple. As the saying goes, 'Adversity reveals true feeling.' Facing powerful enemies, challenges, and solving difficult problems together is the most direct and effective way to strengthen your bond."
*Travel!*
The mont Director He said the words, a light bulb went off in Kenji's mind. He imdiately thought of going on a journey.
The wilderness was full of dangers and challenges. Didn't that perfectly align with Director He's advice on strengthening a bond?
Kenji shared his idea with Director He, who nodded. "That's a good idea. Travel can quickly and dramatically deepen the bond between a Pokémon and its trainer, but it is quite dangerous.
"Actually, I could hire an Elite Four-level trainer to spar with you, to face strong enemies together. That's also an effective way to strengthen your bond and improve your relationship."
Kenji rubbed his nose and countered, "Uh, Director He, Elite Four-level might not be enough. Could you hire a Champion-level trainer?"
Director He: (꒪⌓꒪)
"The National Collegiate League is followed by the National League Championship. You, Kenji, should use this opportunity to travel and collect Gym Badges, preparing for next year's Championship..." Director He advised before leaving.
Compared to finding a Champion-level trainer to be Kenji's sparring partner, letting Kenji travel was a far more practical solution.
After all, trainers who possessed Champion-level Pokémon were typically the best of the best among Elite Four trainers, even if they weren't Champions themselves.
As the saying goes, "with great power cos great responsibility."
Trainers of that caliber typically held important official positions that restricted their movents. Gym Leaders couldn't leave their provinces, and the Elite Four couldn't leave their designated regions.
After seeing Director He off, Kenji pulled up the system's Hex Core drawing panel while planning when to set out.
