Pokemon: The Gameboy Effect-Chapter 224: Presents

(A/N: New legend Austin Tas, bow before his greatness! Bonus Chapter unlocked!)

A study of Pokémon mythology. Pokémon healing industry. Draconia Elite Four and Ice-type Gym Leader. There's also a Pokémon Inspector. Just from their occupations, one can roughly guess that the students of Saul Badman must be elites in various industries. After all, they are students of the famous Saul Badman. No matter what, they can't be anything but exceptional.

"I'm sorry, junior, you came so suddenly this time, we didn't even bring a meeting gift. Wait until the New Year is over, and when I return to the Laboratory, I will definitely deliver the meeting gift to you by courier to the school," Thomas Reed said, taking the initiative.

John just wanted to refuse, but Violet, Harrison, and Zachary also proposed to give John a meeting gift.

"My junior, I bred a very good Revival Herb, and someone will bring it to you after a while. Whether you usually make tea for yourself or restore Pokémon, it is a very good product." said Violet.

"I've already decided to prepare a dragon-type secret treasure for you, junior. Wait, after the new year, I'll get it for you." Harrison told John

"What do you think of Arcanine? How about I give you a Growlithe pup as a gift? This is a special gift from the police force, and I'm also giving you my guarantee that it will be smart, and will never bite the sofa at home." said Zachary.

This series of offers made John want to refuse them all, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

In the end, Damian took the initiative to speak. "You have already accepted my meeting gift, and you should accept their gifts too. This is also our rule as seniors. If the Teacher accepts new students in the future, you should also remember to prepare a meeting gift."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you all, seniors," John agreed. According to tradition, Thomas, the first student of the Teacher, should give a greeting ceremony to all the students sitting here.

After the meeting ceremony, everyone's conversations began to return to normal. Everyone ate and chatted, and Saul asked his students directly how they were doing this year, what they had learned, what they thought they should do next, and their plans for the future.

The seniors would tell Saul in detail, and then listen to his opinions to revise and improve their plans.

While chatting, while eating. After food and drinks, everyone watched TV, played cards, talked and laughed in the hall.

If it weren't for the fact that there were quite a few Pokémon in the room, such as Aipom and Gengar playing peek-a-boo, and Bonsly hiding behind the curtains pretending to be ordinary potted plants, John would have thought he had returned to a typical New Year's atmosphere.

Finding a corner in the room to sit down, while John was watching TV, his hands were not idle. He took the time to use his phone to check their backgrounds.

Search for "Thomas Reed" first. Thomas Reed, the leading figure in the archaeological research on Pokémon mythology in the world, and the first researcher to discover and record the legendary ruins of Arceus.

John was shocked. That's where he had seen this name before—it was in the Pokémon history textbook at the university. This was a huge discovery recorded in history! He couldn't believe this celebrity was actually right in front of his eyes, and was now his senior.

Let's look at Violet's introduction. Violet, the top breeder and Pokémon healer in the country, specializes in Pokémon healing. She cured a total of 100 Pokémon in the 13th International Pokémon Healing Competition and was awarded the title "Purple Clothed Master."

Another master, the top expert on the road to Pokémon healing. With Thomas leading the way, John was already mentally prepared for Violet's achievements, and he didn't feel any shock. On the contrary, it would be abnormal if she didn't have such accomplishments.

As for Damian, there was no need to search.

For Harrison, John found: The owner of the Icefall Gym, clearly an ice-type Gym. He is good at using ice-type and dragon-type Pokémon, so he is considered to be the gym Leader who is most likely to become the next Elite Four. Currently, he ranks first among all Gym Leaders.

John was speechless. Harrison was the most extraordinary one even if he was just a Gym Leader. The strongest Gym Leader! Ranked first among all Gym Trainers in the contry!

The path for a Gym Leader to be promoted to Elite Four is to get first place in the competition of 34 gyms. Only in this way can they get the opportunity to challenge the Elite Four. If they defeat an Elite, they naturally replace the opponent's Elite position! Damian's Elite position was earned by defeating the previous Elite, allowing him to become the spokesperson for Ghost-type Pokémon.

For Harrison, the status of Elite is already close at hand. Judging from the current age of the Elites and Harrison's age, it is only a matter of time before he becomes an Elite Trainer. Therefore, Harrison can be regarded as a quasi-Elite.

Finally, for Zachary, John couldn't find any information. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense—a Pokémon investigator is a job whose identity is kept secret. Although Zachary told John he was a Pokémon investigator, it would be impossible for John to find details about his identity.

Even if John used his contacts to investigate, he would likely face counter-investigation by official organizations. John wasn't that interested in causing trouble.

But maybe Saul felt that John was a bit idle. He saw John playing with his phone and not getting involved in the games with the seniors, so he suddenly said to Harrison:

"Harrison, didn't you want to have a battle with John? How about doing it tonight? It can be considered a digestion exercise after dinner."

"I'm OK with that! Where's John?" Harrison was holding a poker card in one hand and stuffing Skittles into his mouth with the other, and replied nonchalantly.

"I... can do it," John agreed. There was nothing wrong with agreeing—no matter how strong Harrison was, he was only a Gym Leader. No matter how badly he was beaten, it would be impossible for him to be as miserable as when he faced Saul back then.

Rigth?
