Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 466 Naz: Haven't seen you for half a month? Pay half first.

Upon hearing Li Xuan's composed reply, the masked royal man recalled the strength the other party had displayed and smiled with relief.

He reached out and shook hands with Li Xuan, a cheerful invitation coming from behind his mask: "You are welcome to visit the Alola region sometime. The azure sea and bright sunshine there will surely make you want to stay longer."

"it is good."

Li Xuan grasped the outstretched hand, a smile playing on his lips: "The exotic charm of Alola is truly captivating. Once I've settled my affairs, I'll definitely visit and experience its unique island atmosphere."

Talk about it.

He's been thinking about where to take everyone to relax lately.

If it's the Alola region, it's actually quite suitable for tourism.

By then.

Bring along Naz and Gadriya for a proper trip; it'll be a good way to relax.

The battle has now ended.

Yu Longdu slowly stepped down from the judging panel, his gaze sharp as he looked at Li Xuan: "Master Li Xuan, would you be interested in launching a Heavenly King Challenge?"

"Still not."

Li Xuanqian bowed slightly in response: "The King of Fighters tournament requires a lot of time to prepare. Right now, I still have some personal matters to take care of, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to devote myself fully to such an important event."

"Okay, that's fine. Just let me know when you have time to participate in the King of Kings Challenge."

Yulongdu was simply following procedure.

Since Li Xuan doesn't want to challenge him, let's wait until the other party changes his mind.

The Quartz Conference has now concluded.

That night.

[Zufiki Daigo: Congratulations to Gym Leader Li Xuan for winning the Dojo Tournament.]

[Daigo Zuvoki: Red Envelope]

Late at night, Li Xuan's phone suddenly rang with Daigo's personalized message notification tone.

Upon opening the interface, I discovered it was a red envelope (cash gift).

This startled Li Xuan so much that he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

Sending a red envelope in the middle of the night suddenly makes you feel what true generosity is.

[Zivuki Daigo: Master Li, please accept this without worry. Consider it a personal congratulatory gift. It's nothing much, just for fun and to add a touch of good fortune.]

[The Abandoned Monkey of the Dojo: Since that's the case, then I'll humbly accept your offer.]

Li Xuan also accepted the red envelope.

Later, it was discovered that it was 20,000 yuan.

For Daigo, there really aren't many left.

[Dojo Abandoned Monkey: Thank you for the red envelope, Brother Daigo. I'll be going to the Hoenn region in a couple of days, we can talk more then.]

[Zivskyi Daigo: No problem. Should I send a private jet to pick you up?]

[The Abandoned Monkey of the Dojo: It's alright. Hiring a private jet would attract too much attention, which would contradict our purpose.]

[Zufuki Daigo: That's true, Master Li Xuan is much more thoughtful.]

[The Abandoned Monkey of the Dojo: I'll log off now, I'm going to take a shower and rest.]

[Daigo Zubuki: OK, then I won't bother Master Li any longer. I look forward to your arrival.]

Their conversation remained brief and to the point.

After turning off the phone.

Li Xuan stretched, and his arm suddenly touched something warm and soft, which startled him so much that he turned his head sharply.

"I was so scared! How come you always appear so quietly?"

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing Nazi.

She was wearing a black lace nightgown, with delicate openwork patterns that stretched along the curves of her shoulders and neck, and the silk hem gently caressing her fair ankles.

"How long do you plan to stay in the Hoenn region this time?"

In response to Li Xuan's exclamation, Na Zi simply asked softly.

"Um……"

After a moment's thought, Li Xuan replied, "About half a month."

Before he finished speaking, Naz's slender hand had already gently covered his thigh.

A faint warmth emanated from my fingertips through the fabric.

At this time.

Naz's other hand gently stroked Li Xuan's cheek.

A pale blue halo emanated from his fingertips, and a gentle superpower guided him to turn his head, where he met Sabrina's deep eyes, which were inches away.

"Ahem, well..."

Naza's action almost foreshadowed what was about to happen.

Li Xuan was also quite helpless about this, and could only say, "How about I get a good rest tonight?"

"Half a month, fifteen days."

Naza shook her head slightly, her hair trembling with the movement, while the blue light at her fingertips intensified: "Let's calculate it the same as before, pay half first."

"???"

Li Xuan was shocked.

Even if he's a hero of the Aura Sphere, he can't withstand this kind of special training...

But look at Naz's appearance.

There's no way we can skip the special training tonight.

……

……

Two days later, Li Xuan looked radiant.

"The rest, we'll wait for you to come back."

Inside the Golden Airport, Naz saw Li Xuan off.

"Row."

Li Xuan gently pulled Nazi into his arms, affectionately ruffling her soft hair. He released her hand only after her ears turned red, then turned and walked into the VIP lounge.

Under soft lighting.

A man in a suit was sitting on the leather sofa area, sipping coffee.

When the other person raised their face, Li Xuan was stunned and stood there.

That face with its dignified smile was absolutely right!
It's definitely Giovanni!
It seemed that they noticed Li Xuan entering.

Sakaki paused slightly in the hand holding the coffee cup.

But then, he calmly got up and went to meet them.

"Master Li Xuan."

A perfectly timed smile appeared on Sakaki's lips. "I never expected to meet you at the airport. What a delightful coincidence."

"It's a coincidence indeed."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the other person's shoulder and looking out the window. A flight from Tropical Dragon Airlines was slowly taxiing onto the runway.

For a moment, it became rather quiet.

"Where is Mr. Sakaki headed?" Li Xuan broke the silence first.

“The Hoenn region,” Sakaki replied calmly, tapping his knuckles lightly on the suitcase handle. “There are some business matters that need to be taken care of.”

Upon hearing this destination, Li Xuan's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Coincidentally, I was also going to Fengyuan."

After the words were spoken, the two fell into a brief silence, with only the terminal's announcements echoing softly in the air.

Sakaki stroked his chin thoughtfully: "I wonder what business Master Li Xuan had at the Hoenn Institute?"

"I'm going to see an old friend and catch up," Li Xuan replied calmly.

Of course, the facts were indeed as Li Xuan said.

He simply wanted to catch up with an "old" friend. This answer reminded Giovanni of Fujiki, the Fighting-type gym leader in Fighting Town, and he nodded knowingly.

He picked up his coffee, took a sip, stopped asking questions, and turned his gaze to the flights taking off and landing outside the window.

The little incident has come to an end.

Sakaki felt that he and Li Xuan might not necessarily be on the same flight.

After all, he was going to Water Town, which was a bit far from Martial Town.

If Li Xuan really wanted to go to Wudou Town, he should have gone to Kanaz City instead.

Until the boarding announcement came on.

When the two met again in the first-class aisle, they were both stunned.

Sakagi scrutinized the boarding pass in Li Xuan's hand, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "I didn't expect it to be the same flight. It seems Master Li Xuan has been having a lucky streak lately."

“Thanks to Team Rocket,” Li Xuan said, waving his boarding pass, the edge of the paper tracing a pale golden arc under the light. “After arresting several high-ranking officials a while ago, and expanding the gym, we have some spare money left, so I thought I’d give it a try and experience first class.”

Itagi: "..."

No, no, I can't get angry...

Giovanni maintained a smile, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "The Kanto League is truly honored to have a trainer like Gym Leader Li Xuan."

"So-so, third in Guandu."

Li Xuan responded by clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Then, the two of them sat in first class.

result……

They were right next to each other.

Li Xuan, Sakaki: "..."

What a coincidence! (glances away)

"Mio." (Sigh, Li Xuan, why don't you just go all out with Sakaki already? With your current strength, dragging this out doesn't seem to be doing you any good.)
Little Riolu felt that if he were to make a move now, he might be able to pin Giovanni to the ground and grind him to dust, ensuring that Giovanni wouldn't even have the strength to fight back.

Li Xuan:?
"Then let me ask you, where did the evidence come from?"

Li Xuan used his waveguide power to communicate with Little Riolu.

"Given Giovanni's current reputation in the League, he's the leader of the anti-Team Rocket movement. Moreover, when Team Rocket launched a massive invasion of the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, the very next day Team Rocket was completely wiped out, essentially leaving themselves exposed."

Li Xuan explained to Little Riolu.

"Mio." (Oh... When will Giovanni finally reveal his identity to the League? I've seen him pretending all this time, but it turns out only the two of us know his true identity. It's making me really curious.)
Little Riolu really wanted to give Giovanni an elbow strike.

If only we could find an opportunity to arrest Giovanni directly.

"I wish I could, but his disguise is too perfect. Even when he has to show himself, he will disguise himself as someone else."

Regarding this, Li Xuan thought of a poem from a movie theater next door.

He grew to 1.8 meters tall, his voice sounded exactly like Madara's, and he was wrapped up like a dumpling from head to toe, yet he blamed the teacher for not recognizing him.

Sakaki is saying that's the situation.

From a middle-aged man with a buzz cut to a greasy, overweight executive, who could possibly recognize him?!
"Bini?!" (What?! Is this guy next to me a bad guy? But I always see him feeding me delicious food! I never thought such a nice guy was a big bad guy behind my back! Waaah, I really misjudged him!)
Victini, who was enjoying the show, joined the "battle".

Listening to Li Xuan's conversation with Little Riolu, Victini felt like the sky had fallen.

During the time Li Xuan was away.

Sakaki often visited Silver Company and helped rebuild it.

Because Bictini often ate snacks at Silver Company, he was also directly fed by Sakaki.

At first, Bictini thought Giovanni was a nice older man.

After all, they feed me every few days.

Moreover, they are all large quantities of expensive snacks.

Even under these circumstances, the fact that they could still guarantee a large and satisfying portion meant they directly won over Bictini's heart.

result……

You're telling me this kind old man is actually a ruthless villain who commits murder, arson, and robbery?!
Bictini felt like the sky was falling.

Ugh……

This truly shows that you can know a person's face but not their heart!
"Bini!" (Is there any way to just arrest him and make him tell the truth?)
"No, if there were evidence, I would have arrested him long ago. But arresting him without evidence and then having him confess would easily be seen as torture. In that case, it would be hard to convince people."

Li Xuan had no way to deal with this.

Sakaki is bad, that's all.

The inherent wickedness in this man has never changed.

Li Xuan certainly wanted to bring the other party to justice.

However, if the violence is too excessive and it is considered torture, it will be difficult to convince others afterward.

At that point, it would be equivalent to truly clearing Giovanni's name, making it even harder for his identity as the leader of Team Rocket to be pinned on him.

There's also the possibility of it getting locked to oneself...

Tsk, I don't want that kind of thing!
However, there is still some good news.

For example, the security system in the inland areas of Kanto is now quite comprehensive.

It will be difficult for the Rockets to stir up large-scale riots again.

Otherwise, he would never have dared to leave the region and travel far.

However, it seems that Team Rocket already exists in the Orange Islands.

The thought of the Orange Islands gave Li Xuan a headache.

He rubbed his temples, his thoughts drifting to the archipelago south of Kanto.

According to the information provided by Mewtwo 2.

The Rockets' reach has already extended to the Orange Islands.

This made him extremely worried.

That sea area is not only home to the three legendary birds, but also to Lugia, a first-level god.

If Team Rocket were to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire a legendary Pokémon, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not to mention that the ecological balance of the entire archipelago could be destroyed, what's even more frightening is that these four birds could actually affect the world order!

If we try to organize it then, it will be very difficult.

Although Li Xuan's side has Reshiram and Kyurem.

However, the only way to stop Team Rocket without damaging the territory is to call in reinforcements.

After all, this is his own Kanto region.

If it gets damaged, I'll be at a huge loss!
"Mio?" (Wait, what do you mean by "your Kanto region"?)
The connection between Li Xuan and Little Riolu has not yet been severed.

His thoughts immediately entered Little Riolu's mind, causing several black lines to appear on its forehead.

So your Kanto region has all arrived?
"Ahem, that's just one way of putting it, haha."

Li Xuan only coughed lightly a few times.

"Mio..." (Seriously, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that the Kanto region has a trainer like you...)
Little Riolu squinted its eyes, feeling that Li Xuan's words were getting stranger and stranger!
From "My Fighting Dojo" and "My Golden City" to "My Kanto Region".

In just three months, it has gone from landmarks and cities to regions.

What if I gave you a year?
Li Xuan, are you planning to stop eating beef?

"Bini?" (Li Xuan, if you don't eat beef, can I have some?)
Bictini licked her lips.

Speaking of beef, it's getting a little hungry too.

Little Riolu: "..."

Well, even these mythical Pokémon can't be relied on.

"What are you thinking? Do you see me as the kind of trainer who would commit crimes?"

Li Xuan feigned heartbreak and said, "Little Riolu, I never expected you to miss me like this. In that case, you'll have to pay for the all-you-can-eat barbecue from now on."

Riolu: "???"

"Mio!" (Yamete!!!)
