Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 487 Graduation Ceremony and Before the War
The special training time determined by Lai and Naqi was in line with the graduation ceremony of the second generation students and the battle plan for the Island of Fury.

After leading the team back and taking a short rest, it will be the end of June. After the graduation ceremony on the 29th, Genji will send the Hiryu here on the 30th to bring everyone who is ready to go to the front line.

As the alliance's strongest reinforcement in this battle, from top to bottom, Lai and several of his partners attach great importance to them.

Although, at present, they can only confirm that Lai and Naqi have king-level combat power. Even Lila, who often appears, is still unknown, let alone Huayue and Cortna, who have never exposed their identities in the south. .

Even so, Lai and Naqi are already much stronger than the two elderly consultants sent by the alliance headquarters who are only as strong as Morita Eiyuki.

······
Time passed by, and June 6th soon came, and more than a hundred students from the second batch of Nanhai Trainer School were about to graduate.

Because the battle was approaching, the Nanhai Islands, which were very close to the front line, became a transfer station for materials and personnel at the request of Yuanji. Especially the northernmost Tianshui Island, it already had a bit of a chilling atmosphere.

Trainers from all over Hoenn gathered here, responded to the alliance's call, and joined the huge team, ready to land on the island to fight at any time.

But even so, people on Tianshui Island, and even people in the entire Nanhai Islands, still turned Tianshui Town into a carnival venue on this day.

The students in the first phase have gradually become able to act independently. Some of them are active in the Tianshui Town's guard team, or travel, explore, and work, making a good start for the town's revitalization.

Now, the second-term students who have studied longer will also enter the society, and there will be the third and fourth-term students later. Their existence will bring a new dimension to this island and the entire area, which have been struggling in a marginal situation for many years. Come with new energy.

Human beings need hope and expectation to support their lives, and education can provide precisely such hope and expectation.

Lai, Naqi, and 35 first-term graduates gathered in the spacious school square, which has been expanded several times.

Looking at Lila and the old mayor who were deeply moved on the stage, Lai's heart also surged.

During the ceremony, Yoshimitsu, who was a little late, sat next to Rai. After apologizing, he talked about the reason for being late.

The two alliance consultants responsible for the northern blockade of the island were somewhat weak. After a fierce battle with wild Pokémon, they missed a batch of wild Pokémon and did not report it out of concern for their face. This led to an attack. The Flying Dragon was responsible for this. I had to take a detour to deal with this matter.

After such a toss, the originally sufficient time margin was also exhausted.

Regarding the behavior of these older generation alliance consultants, Lai had nothing to say, or he was already used to it, so he could only comfort Liangguang with a few words.

In just a few words, Liangguang's eyes lit up.

He saw Zhousuke who was receiving the medal as the leader of the ten seats in the second period.

"How about giving this child to our Flying Dragon for training?" Looking at Lai with a calm expression, Liangguang immediately had the idea of ​​poaching him. The successful cases of Issei and Yuqi had already given him a taste of the sweetness.

Many students in the second phase are indeed good, but the best one is undoubtedly Zhou Zhu in front of him.

Lai smiled faintly: "Zhou Zhu wants to stay in school to continue his studies. Lila will take care of him personally, as well as Wright, Yuxiang and Xinwu. Brother Liangguang, I don't think you should give up on his idea. The following students will also take care of him. Very good, do you want to consider it? They will also set off with us."

"Ah, you always want to pick up the good ones. But speaking of which, how many people are there this time?"

Liangguang sighed in disappointment, but quickly adjusted. This time, he had business to attend to.

"There are 32 people in the first phase, 60 in the second phase, and nine teachers, plus Du Juan, Hills, Yuzuo, Merck and Wright, a total of [-] people. For our school's financial resources, it is considered to be our best effort. And for the sake of protecting your hometown, if you change places, you might not be able to see so many people."

If he had known that he would ask this question, Lai pulled out a densely written piece of paper and handed it to him. On it was the information of the participants in the war.

"Remember to protect them. If you think it's okay, you can draw some sailors from the Feilong to form a large group."

Liangguang put the paper away and nodded: "This is natural. I will arrange for the boatswain to act with you. The rest of the staff on the Feilong will also be in a similar position to you, so we can support each other."

"My students, except for the dozen or so in the second phase, should be no weaker than your sailors. If you need to exercise, exercise. Hills and the others will follow. Safety is still guaranteed for the time being."

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart, the captain keeps telling me every day."

"Hahaha, with senior Genji and brother Liangguang here, why should I be worried?"

During the conversation, the graduation ceremony also reached its climax.

Standing on the podium, Lila announced the plans for the fifth and sixth phases of enrollment, which are also a combination of long-term and short-term. This time, the Nanhai Trainer School will recruit students trained in the six-year system for the first time.In the audience, parents from all over the country silently began to make calculations, especially those whose students were of appropriate age.

Attracted by the sound of the crowd, Rai and Yoshimitsu also stopped communicating.

Turning his head slightly, Lai saw the figure of the old teacher Zenhiko in the front row of the teaching team.

The experience of being turned away at his door that day is still before his eyes.

The stern look on his eyebrows overlapped with the smiling look of Maitreya Buddha, which made Lai couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The old man also felt Lai's gaze, nodded slightly and blinked.

······
The end of the graduation ceremony is the end of a small festival in Tianshui Town.

The students of the third and fourth periods are welcoming the summer vacation, either completing the homework assigned by the school, or thinking about the upcoming registration for the new round of exchange students, exchange students and ancient Pokémon summer camps.

People in the small town have also returned to their busy and tense daily lives.

And early the next morning, next to the Feilong and several warships docked in the port, the usually crowded pier was now much quieter.

Dozens of teachers and students, dressed in uniform combat uniforms, have lined up and are ready to board the ship and head to the battlefield in the south.

Throughout the port, numerous trainers also boarded transport ships according to their prior registration.

Looking at the neatly dressed people here, these trainers from all over the world couldn't help but be slightly surprised. They thought they were some elite troops directly under the alliance, but a closer look revealed that they were too young in age.

A few sharp-eyed people who had watched the graduation ceremony yesterday recognized some of them.

Soon, the information spread from point to point, and spread to the entire pier. People gradually learned that the Nanhai Trainer School, which was very popular yesterday, would also have students and teachers participating in this battle.

Some people think it is nonsense for such a young child to join the war, while others express support, especially those who recognize the two powerful kings of Lai and Naqi.

However, all this has nothing to do with Lai and the others.

Under the personal guidance of Liangguang, the students boarded the ship one after another with different moods.

The Lai people saw all the teachers and students in place, and together with Liangguang, boarded the Feilong, which was the flagship of this combat operation.

The anchor was pulled up and the sails were hoisted. The simple sail warship took the lead, and the remaining warships and transport ships formed a long queue.

The first batch left the port, and the latter batch entered the port one after another, transporting batches of trainers to the front line.

······
In Kaina in the distance, the same scene was playing out.

Thousands of trainers who responded to the call and hundreds of elite troops dispatched by the alliance gathered in the two places, and sky-high combat supplies were stored in warehouses.

A battle facing the unknown and madness is also taking place in the distant sea at this moment.

Genji and Tyrannosaurus have been fighting non-stop throughout the blockade for a month.

In a warship that was temporarily used as a command ship, Tie Xuan sat in the captain's cabin, with Bonnie beside him who also came to help.

"It's time. I'm going to change my shift. Uncle Tiexuan, you can continue to rest."

The two kings fought in shifts, while Tie Xuan, who was quietly hiding here, stayed put, just in case.
