Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 82: Scout Yashida

"Freezing ray"?
Link's eyes moved slightly, and at this moment he completed the quantum entanglement communication with his own Fire Fox.

The fire fox changed the shape of its feathers again, forming an impenetrable wall that blocked the opponent's line of effect and vision.

When Lukia and the Blue Bird broke through the feathers that the opponent used as a wall, they found that the Fire Fox disappeared through the "Phantom Ray".

Where did the opponent go?

Before Lucia could respond.

Then I saw the fire fox appear under the blue bird and used the "freezing ray" by "imitation"!
The "mysterious protection" that protected the blue bird from abnormalities and interference like clouds and fog collapsed and disappeared after being exposed to this light, just like the sun appearing after the clouds were cleared.

The next moment, the "Freezing Ray" with no loss of power accurately hit the bluebird that fell back into the rain, freezing it into an ice cube!

Lucia's gorgeousness value dropped sharply, but there was still room for compensation. She immediately ordered the blue bird in the ice to use it as a shield, releasing "Charming Voice" and "Echo" for penetrating attacks.

But this level of counterattack was naturally within Link's calculations.

"We're going to win." "Fu!"

"Hypnosis"!!!
The "hypnosis" that had been successful several times once again played its due role, successfully hypnotizing the bluebird that failed to suppress the fire fox in level, and it could no longer sing various songs.

Although Lucia still has some gorgeous value left.

But her elf had lost its ability to fight and could no longer continue this magnificent competition.

At this point, the champions of the gorgeous competition have been decided, and they are Link and Fire Fox, whose strength and skills are not comparable to Lukia.

At first, the stunned audience fell silent, but then they burst into cheers even louder than when they supported Lucia just now.

Defeat the strong with the weak, show the elves' own characteristics, and win with skillful techniques and strategies.

Whoever wins is right, this is the true meaning of a gorgeous battle...

……

The first grand competition in his life ended successfully, and Firefox received a ribbon medal as a reward.

Although the endorsements and advertisements that could serve as a stepping stone to this have not yet arrived, Link decided to have a good meal to reward himself for this memorable day.

But just as he was about to leave the house, a fat man in sunglasses and tropical-style shorts stopped him: "Hello, Xiaolin, I'm Yashida, a talent scout, professional agent and developer, and also a fan of you and Firefox."

Upon hearing this, Firefox poked its head out and was very curious about its first fan.

The fat man fanned himself and said, "It's so hot. My car has air conditioning. How about talking to me in detail about the battle?"

Yashida...

Link was strangely familiar with the name, and he quickly remembered the man who built the Hoenn region's Battle Frontier in the Ruby version.

"Okay."

Link naturally agreed, and he and Yashida got into a car parked near the venue of the gorgeous competition.

During this period, Yashida mentioned his previous battle with Du Juan in Kanaz City.

He was very impressed by the fact that she defeated Du Juan's four powerful elves with only one Fire Fox and one Pop Dolphin.

It’s a pity that before he had the chance to communicate with Link... he was taken back to the police station by Miss Junsha from Kanaz City and fell into a state of isolation.

When Yashida found out where Link was again, she discovered that they had just missed each other and the latter had already boarded a ship to the Sinnoh region.

"Were you also at the Kanaz Gym at that time?"

"Yeah, but I was in the spectator seats, so you might not have noticed me." Link thought about it and realized that he really didn't pay much attention to the audience. After all, his mind was on the elves, and he didn't care about irrelevant passers-by.

As he was talking, the temperature in the car finally dropped due to the air conditioning, and Yashida relaxed a lot.

"But I've been keeping an eye on you since then."

He took off his glasses, as if to get a closer look at Link, the rookie trainer who he thought was extremely talented.

As a scout, intelligence work is of paramount importance.

After taking a fancy to Link, Yashida immediately sent people to investigate him, and soon learned about how he easily defeated Xiaosuan of the Snow Peak Gym, and then dominated the Battle Factory in just one day.

Although his whereabouts suddenly became erratic after that, they soon met by chance at the venue of the gorgeous competition.

In order to prevent talents from slipping away from his hands again, Yashida stated his purpose directly.

"Xiaolin, I have always hoped to develop Pokémon battles into a highly professional competitive sport, so I have also built a battle frontier in the Kanto region, and I am currently looking for seven pioneers for the battle frontier."

So far, Yashida has found four outstanding trainers: the Queen of Pipes, the Pyramid Pharaoh and the Palace Guardian.

There are still no suitable candidates for the Factory Boss, Arena Master, Battle Tower Lord, and Dome Superstar.

But after seeing Link's battle, Yashida firmly believed that—

"Xiao Lin, I would like to invite you to become the pioneer of the battle frontier, and work with me to push Pokémon battles to the pinnacle of competitive sports!"

"Okay (answered immediately)."

"Don't be in a hurry...what!?"

Yashida was about to explain in detail the salary, benefits, insurance and welfare to the other party, but found that the boy agreed without asking a single question.

He hasn't even thrown out the information on the legendary Pokémon as bait!

Link thought...why would there be any reason to refuse such an interesting opportunity to fight frequently?
"I mean I agree, but I have a few conditions."

Yashida was all ears.

"First of all, I'm not interested in the Battle Factory. I want to go to the Battle Tower."

The Battle Tower is where the champion works after retirement, which is also recorded in the Dan Emperor's biography.

“Secondly, my current ability is not enough to serve as a pioneer. It will take more than a year for me to be competent.

"Finally, I still have a lot of work and tasks on hand. If I don't finish them, I won't be able to concentrate on other things. I need someone to help me."

The task of finding a homeland for the savage bass is really a long way off. In order to fulfill its wish, Link has used everything he can.

"Battle Tower..."

Yashida was thoughtful. In fact, he already had a suitable candidate in mind, and he was a person with super powers who could communicate with elves mentally.

"Actually, the Battle Factory is not impossible." Link paused, then added, "But I need very good programmers who can continuously improve the data and battle system of those virtual elves according to my own needs."

Hearing this, Yashida's face suddenly brightened with joy.

"No problem at all!

"And as long as you choose the Battle Factory, your only weakness as a rookie trainer will be made up for, and you can start work immediately, even if it means working remotely!"
