The newcomers below were first stunned, and then their eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
They understood what Chen Jiaxing meant by that sentence; now, everyone around them would be their competitor.
Dawn Organization gave them a chance, but whether they could seize it depended entirely on themselves.
Just then, several Dawn Organization members came over, pushing carts filled with Poké Balls.
They dumped all the Poké Balls onto a large platform in the center of the training ground.
Chen Jiaxing strode onto the platform and skillfully pulled out three Poké Balls from his waist.
He scanned the group of newcomers below and said in a loud voice, "These are three Starter Pokémon; their potential needs no elaboration."
For these youths who came from the slums, owning a Starter Pokémon was an unattainable dream.
After speaking, Chen Jiaxing carefully placed these three precious Poké Balls on top of the pile of ordinary Poké Balls.
His intention was obvious: if you want to become a Trainer, the opportunity is right in front of you; rush onto the stage to snatch a Poké Ball, and if you get one, you can begin your journey as a Trainer!
As Chen Jiaxing gave the command, the youths below instantly went wild, surging onto the platform like a tide, scrambling for Poké Balls.
The scene of over a thousand people fiercely contending was extremely shocking, and many, in order to get ahead, mercilessly struck their companions.
On the training ground, the chaotic scene intensified.
Over a thousand young men and women frantically rushed towards the platform to snatch Poké Balls.
They pushed, tore, and even fought, creating a bloody and cruel scene.
Jiang Mo stood to the side, calmly observing all of this.
This was part of the "Rebirth" Operation, and also a test these newcomers had to endure.
Chen Jiaxing stood on the high platform, coldly watching the chaos below.
There was no trace of pity in his eyes, only ruthlessness and determination.
He himself had once emerged from such an environment.
He believed that only those who had experienced life-and-death trials could truly become a member of Dawn Organization.
This was the true meaning of Rebirth.
"If you want to become a Trainer, the opportunity is right in front of you; rush up, snatch a Poké Ball, and as long as you get one, you're a Trainer!"
As his words fell, the youths below became even more frenzied.
Their eyes were filled with greed and longing; those Poké Balls were their only goal now.
The brutal fighting erupted in an instant.
Fists, kicks, and even teeth became their weapons.
The training ground was immediately filled with blood and screams.
Jiang Mo stepped back to avoid being caught in the chaos.
Dawn Organization doesn't need weak people; only the strongest and most cunning can survive.
"No wonder these newcomers are so afraid of Chen Jiaxing's reputation; this training method is truly cruel," Jiang Mo thought to himself.
However, the logic is indeed sound; only by undergoing such a test can true talents be filtered out.
Those who ultimately survive are generally not simple individuals.
As time passed, the chaos on the field gradually escalated.
Some newcomers, who thought they were clever, immediately released the Pokémon from their Poké Balls after snatching them, wanting to command them in battle.
However, they clearly underestimated the wildness and intelligence of the Pokémon.
These Pokémon, just released, would not obey their commands at all.
The chaotic scene also startled these Pokémon, especially those violently captured by Dawn Organization, who were already wary of humans.
Some short-tempered Pokémon, such as Mankey and Ekans, directly attacked the newcomers who tried to command them.
And those timid Pokémon, such as Caterpie and Weedle, and other Bug-type Pokémon, fled in all directions.
However, the perimeter of the training ground had already been sealed off by Dawn Organization members.
Ensuring that no Pokémon could escape.
The Pokémon that tried to escape were quickly forced back into the arena, continuing to be embroiled in this bloody struggle.
Chen Jiaxing stood on the high platform, watching all of this, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
In his view, this was the true meaning of the "Rebirth" Operation.
Only those who have experienced life-and-death trials can truly understand the philosophy of Dawn Organization and become the core strength of the organization.
The number of corpses on the field increased, both human and Pokémon.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and charring, making it nauseating.
However, the surviving newcomers had no time to spare for these things.
Their eyes were only on the Poké Balls, only on the chance to become a Trainer.
As time passed, the Poké Balls on the field were gradually all snatched up.
At this point, all the Poké Balls basically had owners.
Some outstanding newcomers even successfully captured Pokémon on the spot through force and could command them in battle.
These aspiring Trainers, in order to reduce competition, even united to brutally kill those newcomers who hadn't managed to grab a Poké Ball, exposing the ugliness of human nature at this moment.
However, amidst this chaotic scene, Jiang Mo noticed a distinctive youth.
He hadn't managed to grab a Poké Ball, but unlike others, he wasn't flustered; instead, he stood calmly to the side, observing the situation on the field.
Jiang Mo also noticed that a large group of newcomers who also hadn't managed to grab a Poké Ball had gathered around him, clearly indicating his high prestige among these people.
"Interesting."
Jiang Mo instantly became interested in this youth.
This youth clearly possessed strong leadership and rallying abilities.
The fact that he could remain calm in such a chaotic situation and unite a group of people clearly indicated he was no simple individual.
The youth's name was Zhou Teng, and he was one of the outstanding individuals among this group of newcomers.
He came from the slums and had learned from a young age how to survive in harsh environments.
He was smooth in his dealings but also very loyal.
This wisdom and loyalty made him stand out among the newcomers, becoming a leader for many.
In contrast, those aspiring Trainers became hesitant when they encountered Zhou Teng's group.
After all, only a minority of people could tame Pokémon on the spot.
Most newcomers didn't even dare to open their Poké Balls.
They also wanted to preserve their strength, as long as the "Rebirth" Operation wasn't over, everyone else around them was a potential competitor.
The situation gradually stabilized like this; all those who hadn't managed to grab a Poké Ball and were still breathing gathered around Zhou Teng.
Seeing that it was about time, Chen Jiaxing immediately announced the end of the Starter Pokémon distribution.
The newcomers finally relaxed their tense nerves, each letting out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, according to the rules, all you newcomers who didn't manage to grab a Poké Ball are eliminated."
Chen Jiaxing's words were like the whisper of a demon, pronouncing the fate of hundreds of people.
Zhou Teng's fists were tightly clenched at this moment, filled with unwillingness; elimination meant death, and they had all signed life-and-death contracts when they came to Dawn Organization to participate in the "Rebirth" Operation.
Even if they could go back, they could only continue to live as a Rattata in the stinking gutters of the slums until they rotted and stank.
