The third day after arriving in Didu, Fang Yuan finally had the opportunity to visit Didu University.
Fang Yuan had long yearned for this top-tier university in the country.
Unlike Renmin University of China, Didu University didn't have volunteers to guide visitors outside, so Fang Yuan could only wander around on his own.
With a letter of introduction in hand, Fang Yuan found the external affairs office of Didu University after asking around.
"A letter of introduction from the Su Province Peaceful City Trainer Association?"
Liu Changwei, the director of the external affairs office of Didu University, whose office existed to receive important visitors of various identities from the outside world.
After verifying the authenticity of the letter of introduction, Director Liu nodded to Fang Yuan and said, "Hello, student Fang."
"Hello," Fang Yuan replied.
Such letters of introduction were generally given by the local Trainer Association to students they believed had the potential and talent to be admitted to the university. In other words, Fang Yuan, holding the letter of introduction at this time, was considered a genius Trainer who might be admitted to Didu University.
Liu Changwei had received several Rookie Trainers with letters of introduction from the Trainer Association during this period, so after confirming Fang Yuan's identity, he immediately found someone to take Fang Yuan on a tour of Didu University.
A young lady in the office took a manual and began to introduce Fang Yuan.
"The Sunlight Room maintains a 'Sunny Day' state 24 hours a day, making it an excellent place to train Grass-type and Fire-type Pokémon. In addition, practicing moves like Solar Beam also has miraculous effects."
"The Flying Plaza is a plaza built for acrobatics and Aerial Ace and other flying skills. Even beginners can systematically learn various Flying-type moves."
"Botanical Garden, don't be fooled by the name. It mainly cultivates special toxic plants suitable for Poison-type Pokémon to absorb toxins. There are eleven kinds of toxins that can be integrated into Toxic moves alone."
"This is an artificial waterfall..."
"This is the Underground Ice Cave..."
"This is the Charging Room..."
Under the guidance of the young lady, Fang Yuan rubbed his eyes, wondering where to start.
And this was just the tip of the iceberg.
"This is the Didu University Library. The third floor is the Move Manual collection area, where you can borrow nearly a hundred kinds of Move Manuals, and there are many basic Pokémon breeding methods."
Fang Yuan understood a little why Didu University was a famous school.
In the competition videos that Zhuang Xin played for the three of the New Star Plan, Trainers from ordinary universities were almost instantly killed when they encountered Trainers from Didu University. It was not unjust for them to be instantly killed.
Famous schools had this kind of foundation. In this environment, even if a rookie Trainer was sent in to hone for three or four years, their strength would not be too bad in the end, provided... they were not persuaded to drop out of school.
"Ms. Wei, I heard that some of the training grounds at Didu University are open to the public. Is there such a thing?"
After listening for so long, Fang Yuan felt a little itchy and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not a teacher, you can call me Ms. Wei or Wei the guide," the young lady smiled.
She said, "You've come at the wrong time. Only one Gravity Training Ground is available for external use now. Would you like to experience it?"
"Gravity Training Ground?"
"Yes, the Gravity Training Ground is generally a place for Fighting-type Pokémon to train. Of course, other types of Pokémon can also enter for training. It mainly trains the Pokémon's Body strength and willpower. Depending on the needs of the entrant, you can choose several times or more times the gravity experience."
"I want to experience it," Fang Yuan said.
Is this similar to the Gravity Room in Dragon Ball?
"Okay, follow me." Guide Wei said.
...
Didu University's Gravity Training Ground is about the size of a football field and is divided into different areas.
It's closed off here. Fang Yuan suspects there are Pokémon underground that can use the "Gravity Move," but it's unlikely...
It should be a brand-new technology that appeared after Pokémon integrated into Earth.
"Here to visit, Rookie Trainer?"
The person in charge of managing the Gravity Training Ground is an old man, who looks very similar to the gatekeeper of Peaceful City First High School, but the old Boss who serves as an administrator in this kind of place... is definitely not an Ordinary person. Fang Yuan wouldn't be surprised if he was a retired Professional Trainer.
The old Boss's voice was loud and clear, not at all like an old man's. Hearing this, Guide Wei handed over her ID card and said, "Yes, a Rookie with a letter of introduction from the Trainer Association branch, here for a visit during the Winter Vacation."
"Understood, go in first." The administrator Boss glanced at Fang Yuan and said, "For a Rookie, it's best to increase the gravity from the lowest multiple."
"The experience time is ten minutes, um... if you can last for ten minutes."
"I'll do my best..." Fang Yuan scratched his head, feeling a little nervous.
Entering the technologically advanced Gravity Training Ground, Fang Yuan discovered that the building materials here were all a special kind of crystal, transparent and dark, looking very mysterious.
Under the guidance of the administrator Boss, they arrived at the nearest Room.
The building materials of the Room were also this kind of crystal. After the administrator Boss pressed a few times on the wall with his hand, many grids appeared on the Room's wall, just like a computer screen.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Room's wall became transparent, and Fang Yuan could clearly see the situation inside from the outside.
"The Trainer is in the Room outside, let the Pokémon go inside. You can see the specific situation inside from the outside, and the sound can also be transmitted in. You can communicate directly."
The administrator Boss said, "There are many challenge modes in the Gravity Room. A simple introductory one is dodgeball, but considering you're a Rookie, I won't turn on the challenge mode for now. You can directly experience the gravity."
"Okay, thank you." Fang Yuan thought for a while, took out Magnemite's Poké Ball, and planned to let Magnemite experience it. Magnemite can theoretically learn the Gravity Move, and maybe it will have some insights during the experience.
At the same time, through the gravity environment here, he can also see where Magnemite's limit in using Thunder Wave is!
Under the gaze of the administrator Boss and Guide Wei, Fang Yuan released Magnemite.
"Oh? Magnemite, huh?"
"Interesting, the confrontation between Thunder Wave and gravity is rare here." The administrator Boss stroked his beard, revealing a smile for the first time.
"Kuo Yi??"
After being released by Fang Yuan, Magnemite was still in a daze.
Fang Yuan immediately explained to Magnemite. Upon hearing that it was a challenge to gravity, Magnemite was eager to try.
After all, the reason it couldn't fly at the beginning was that it couldn't shield gravity with Thunder Wave. Now that it can proficiently use Thunder Wave, shielding normal gravity is not a problem for Magnemite at all.
But, normal gravity is okay... then what about twice the gravity, or even three times the gravity?
Magnemite also didn't know if it could successfully challenge it.
