Just as the afternoon training was about to begin, Xia Huna shook looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said to Wei Chiting, who was resting, "To be honest, you guys are quite lucky it's cloudy."
Wei Chiting looked up at the clouds, spread his arms, and felt the air. "It's no use, Coach Xia. There are clouds but no wind, so it's still hot, and stiflingly hot. I don't think the sweating effect will be much different from this morning."
Xia Huna looked at Wei Chiting, who had retracted his arms, somewhat dissatisfied with the weather. "Just be grateful for what you get. If it's not as sunny this afternoon as it was this morning, you should be overjoyed. And you want wind?"
As he spoke, Xia Huna looked at Lu Bingming, who was lying down nearby. "Wei Chiting, what is Old Lu doing there?"
Wei Chiting turned his head to look. "I'm not sure, maybe he's tired."
"Nonsense, he just ate. Why would he be tired after a nap?"
As the police and fire department personnel entered the training ground, the afternoon training began. Xia Huna watched everyone training on the field, then took out his folding crutches from behind his wheelchair. "It's time for me to try and stand up."
With that, Xia Huna unfolded his folding crutches, planted them on the ground, and with a push of his hands, lifted himself out of the wheelchair.
Xia Huna stood up, leaning on his crutches. Although he wobbled a bit, Xia Huna finally managed to stand on the ground without falling. Xia Huna was so overjoyed to see himself standing that he almost cried.
"Your recovery is fluctuating greatly. Sometimes a day's recovery can be equivalent to several days of recovery you had before. Based on my calculations, you should need at least another three to five days before you can stand with crutches."
Xia Huna had a guess about his inexplicable recovery: "Perhaps it's because I've been close to Pokémon like Ho-Oh recently, so these treasures have been more effective."
The system agreed with this guess and didn't bother with Xia Huna's recovery data. The most important task now was to help Xia Huna complete his rehabilitation as quickly as possible and stand up without a wheelchair or crutches.
However, after taking just a few steps on the main training ground, Xia Huna stopped. "I get tired after just a few steps. Help me push my wheelchair over."
With that, Xia Huna threw a Poké Ball. A cute Chansey, with its short legs, toddled over and pushed Xia Huna's wheelchair.
Xia Huna sat back in his wheelchair, playing with Chansey. On the training field, Lu Bingming raised his hand and reported. After getting permission from Officer Li, Lu Bingming released an Ice-type Pokémon behind him, which slowly released cold air. The surrounding students watched in amazement. Xia Huna's hand, which had been scratching Chansey under the chin, paused. "Lu Bingming does have a brain. He's the first one to think of using an Ice-type Pokémon to cool down. I wonder if his teammates coordinated with him."
Seeing Lu Bingming use an Ice-type Pokémon for cooling, other members of his team also raised their hands and released various Ice-type Pokémon to cool down. The sudden appearance of a large group of Ice-type Pokémon made the training ground much cooler. Officer Li, having received instructions from Xia Huna, did not stop them from using this method to cool down.
Seeing Lu Bingming's team use Ice-type Pokémon for cooling, the other squads also began to use Ice-type Pokémon to cool down. With the help of the Ice-type Pokémon, everyone easily persevered until the end of the first round of afternoon training. After the first round ended, a boy stepped forward. "You all just know how to use Ice-type Pokémon to cool down. It's up to me to save everyone. Let me end today's training."
The one who stepped forward was Chu Ting's boyfriend, Song Zifu. Xia Huna couldn't understand how a bookworm from Yuehe Middle School could have so many strange habits.
Song Zifu took out a Poké Ball. "Blastoise, use Rain Dance!"
Xia Huna was stunned, then smiled. "I knew someone like this would appear."
With that, Xia Huna took out a megaphone. "Chansey, use Sunny Day!"
According to the weather-changing principle, Chansey's Sunny Day directly overwrote Blastoise's Rain Dance. Seeing the dark clouds disappear and a bright sun hang high in the sky, everyone looked at Xia Huna with dissatisfaction.
Xia Huna pushed his wheelchair. "Look at all of you, you don't care about the injured at all. My legs are injured, how can it rain? It's so humid, a sunny day is better."
Xia Huna continued to play with Chansey. Wei Chiting asked, "Coach Xia, this one isn't Xiao Meng, is it?"
Xia Huna nodded. "Of course not. But I know Chansey too well. Most of the strategies you can use, I can counter with Chansey. Don't you believe me? Also, your Rain Dance is too predictable. I've used that move a long time ago."
Wei Chiting's mind again conjured the Chansey system that Xia Huna had used before. He quickly shook his head. "I believe you, I believe you. So, Coach Xia, please stop this."
Seeing that Song Zifu was still unconvinced and wanted to have Blastoise use Rain Dance again, Xia Huna sighed. "Why don't you just believe it? Chansey, use Lovely Kiss then Yawn."
Chansey's combo directly immobilized Blastoise, causing it to fall to the ground. Xia Huna looked at Officer Li. "Officer Li, since they are not tired and still have the energy to fight me, let's continue training. Increase the training load and push them to their limits!"
Officer Li blew his whistle and directed everyone to continue training. Xia Huna, accompanied by Chansey, returned to the rostrum to watch them. In the teams of Officer Li and Captain Zhang, Officer Li and Captain Zhang were revealing Xia Huna's plan.
"Students, I won't hide anything from you. Your Coach Xia told me that if you use Ice-type or Water-type Pokémon to cool down, I shouldn't interfere, as long as you don't use clumsy tactics like faking illness to avoid training. I didn't expect you to come up with Rain Dance, only to have it countered by Sunny Day. Now it's even hotter."
Xia Huna sat on the rostrum, thinking for a long time, then took out his phone and sent a message. Soon, Qin Huanhuan and Qin Peipei ran over. Qin Huanhuan took out a Poké Ball and handed it to Xia Huna. "Coach Xia, isn't this a bit too much?"
Xia Huna spun the Poké Ball in his hand. "What's too much about it? If they are ruthless, I will be unrighteous. It doesn't say we can't have special training while they are training."
Qin Huanhuan forced a smile. "But isn't practicing Heat Wave here a bit excessive?"
Xia Huna's conversation with the Qin sisters was broadcasted through the megaphone to everyone on the field. All the students were shocked by Xia Huna's plan. The September sun was already scorching, and the effect of Ice-type Pokémon was already severely limited. Now he was talking about using Heat Wave? Were they really trying to force everyone to suffer heatstroke and collapse?
On the other side, several instructors were also startled. They had never trained with Heat Wave under the sun before. All the instructors looked at the two captains, who seemed to be contemplating the feasibility of this plan.
Xia Huna glanced at the people on the field and smiled. He put away the Poké Ball. "Alright, I'm done teasing them. I called you two here to help me with my rehabilitation. Please do me a favor."
Thus, a relatively harmonious scene unfolded on the training ground. Xia Huna was undergoing rehabilitation on one side, while the others continued their training on the other.
Xia Huna watched the clouds gradually gathering in the sky. He looked at Chansey. "Should we use Sunny Day again?"
After thinking for a moment, Xia Huna asked Qin Peipei to hold the megaphone. "Listen carefully, as long as you don't use Rain Dance and persist with your training, I guarantee I won't be the first to use Sunny Day!"
Xia Huna continued his rehabilitation, but the students would not surrender so easily. However, half of the afternoon training had already passed, and they had no way to outwit Xia Huna. Thus, they could only wait until the end of the afternoon training to find more solutions.
Xia Huna had trained for the entire afternoon and could now walk a few steps with reasonable form. Looking at his wheelchair, which was more than ten meters away, Xia Huna was immensely excited. "I've finally made some progress."
As today's training was about to end, Xia Huna wheeled his wheelchair over to the two captains. "Two captains, what training do you plan for tomorrow?"
The two captains briefly explained tomorrow's training plan to Xia Huna. Xia Huna nodded. "I see. Then I'll trouble the two captains."
Meanwhile, Song Zifu felt the disgusted gazes coming from all directions. "Hmph, just you wait. Once I escape this training, you'll know who the strongest freshman is!"
Chu Ting, not far from Song Zifu, looked at him with concern. "Don't do anything reckless."
...
That evening, Xia Huna wheeled his wheelchair to the school's Day Care Center. "How is it? Did any freshmen come to borrow Pokémon after school today?"
The teacher in charge of the Day Care Center immediately handed Xia Huna the registration book. "Teacher Xia is amazing. You knew that freshmen would come to borrow Pokémon?"
Xia Huna smiled. "How hard is that to guess? I can even guess they want to borrow Ditto."
The teacher's eyes widened. "Teacher Xia, you're incredible. You even guessed Ditto?"
Xia Huna sneered. "Heh, if you don't let them fake illness, they'll find other ways. You've underestimated me."
