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

Chapter 494 Orin's Gift, An Unexpected Encounter with Iron!
What do you mean the fighting dojo was decommissioned three months ago?!
Li Xuan's brain went blank for a moment.

Then, a possibility came to mind!
That means I've time-traveled again!

hiss……

The problem is coming.

What should he do since he's unfamiliar with the place?
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

Nazi's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Xuan thought for a moment and then said, "Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Naz hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said "Mmm" and hung up.

"Um……"

Li Xuan and Dr. Orin fell silent simultaneously.

"Then what..."

Finally, Li Xuan broke the silence: "If I said I came from another time and space, would you believe me?"

“If it were someone else, they might not believe what you’re saying. But if it were me, and my late husband, we would absolutely believe you.”

Dr. Orin smiled gently and stroked Gu Leton beside her, saying, "May I ask what kind of researcher I was in your world?"

Li Xuan searched his mind for information about Orin and Futu.

"You and Dr. Futu were a model couple in the Padia region and also honorary alumni of Orange Academy. However, your husband passed away in an accident, and since then, you have been conducting experiments on paradoxical Pokémon in Area Zero. So, that's all I can say about what kind of researcher you are."

"The experiments involving Paradoxical Pokémon are known to only a small number of people, mainly Pokémon professors in various regions and high-ranking members of the corresponding leagues."

Li Xuan revealed what he knew, and didn't forget to show his relevant documents: "I am one of the four honorary Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region. Although I don't know why there is no trace of me in this world, I can assure you that I have no ill intentions."

"It's okay, I can tell."

Dr. Orin smiled slightly and asked, "So, what are your plans for the near future?"

"Then of course we'll go back."

Li Xuan was waiting for things to settle down in the Hoenn region so he could travel to the Alola region with Sabrina and Cattleya.

Being dragged into this matter now makes Li Xuan feel unlucky.

How come Rayquaza can send Deoxys to another timeline just by fighting him?
Weird.

byd Palkia, Dialga!
When Li Xuan thought about things related to space and time, his first thought was that he had been tricked by Palkia and Dialga.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up here by sheer coincidence!

"I have two options here, I don't know which one you would like to choose."

Just then, Dr. Orin held up two fingers: "One of them is to build a time machine and see if we can return to your timeline. This plan has my own agenda, and it's particularly dangerous."

"What about the other one?"

Li Xuan knew that this thing was highly dangerous, so he had no intention of using the time machine: "Tell me more about it."

"Another option... is to look for legendary Pokémon related to space and time. If it's one of them, I think they would be more capable of sending you back to your original time."

Orin said slowly, "This plan has a high safety factor, but if you're unlucky, you might not be able to find them even in your entire life."

"Then I'll choose this one. I think with my luck... I should have a chance to go back within a year."

Li Xuan dared not make any definitive statements.

However, considering the number of legendary Pokémon he has encountered recently, there is still a chance he might run into Palkia or Dialga.

or.

Go find Ash and see if you can get some "luck" from him to attract Palkia and Dialga, then send yourself back.

"It seems you're quite confident in your luck."

Dr. Orin glanced at Li Xuan again, thought for a moment, and then added, "Can I trouble you with something?"

Li Xuan nodded: "Please speak."

"If you ever really go back, could you please take care of me in that world..."

Orin didn't know whether she was a son or a daughter in that timeline, and she was momentarily speechless.

Li Xuan understood what Orin meant and added, "Papa?"

"It seems you know him. Could you please take care of Pipana for me?"

"no problem."

Li Xuan agreed to the request, then thought for a moment and asked, "What about this world's?"

He was still a little confused as to why Dr. Orin didn't want him to visit Pipa in this world.

Theoretically speaking, he should still be alive, right?
"Palkia and Dialga are legendary Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. You probably won't stay in Palkia for too long, will you?"

Dr. Orin knew that Li Xuan was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't bother him too much.

"Oh, I probably won't leave the Padiya region until I've earned enough money for the journey."

Li Xuan gave an awkward but polite smile: "You know, you can't get anywhere without money."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Um... could you help me find a job? Preferably related to Pokémon battles, and the salary and benefits should be negotiable in person."

Li Xuan didn't want to owe Dr. Orin too many favors in this world.

He'll be leaving soon, so he definitely won't be able to pay it back.

This feels weird.

If you can avoid owing money, then try to avoid it.

"no problem."

Without a second thought, Dr. Orin dialed a number.

"President Yeci, I know a champion-level trainer who's looking for a job. I remember the Padilla League should be in need of powerful trainers lately, right?"

"Okay, then I'll tell him I'll come to Zhuotai City to find you."

A short while later, Dr. Orin hung up the phone and said to Li Xuan, "You'll be leaving for Orange Academy in Tabletop City, right? And this is my old cell phone, I'm giving it to you as a parting gift. I hope you can go back soon."

"Ah, thank you!"

Li Xuan hadn't expected Dr. Orin to be so generous.

This made him think of repaying the other party.

Dr. Orin also saw through Li Xuan's thoughts, and she replied, "If it's convenient for you during this time, please take good care of Pipa for me."

"it is good."

Li Xuan accepted the commission.

"Ah, you're leaving already? I haven't even beaten you yet!"
Therefore, when Leton saw that Li Xuan was about to leave, it became a little unhappy.

"It seems that Guleton really likes you. This is the first time that the second individual has stuck with a trainer other than me."

Dr. Orin smiled and stroked Guleton's head, her tone quite sentimental: "This child is good in every way, except that he is sometimes too fierce and often clashes with the first individual."

After saying that, Professor Orin stared at Li Xuan for a while before taking out a marked Poké Ball and handing it to him: "Although it's sudden, could you please take this child with you?"

"what?"

Li Xuan was stunned.

This is Guleton!
With a base stat total of 670, it doesn't have any divine role, but its strength is not to be underestimated!

“This child needs a bigger stage; he can’t be confined to Zone Zero and stay here with me forever.”

Dr. Orin stroked Guleton.

The latter understood the meaning behind the words, looked at Li Xuan, and let out a low growl.

"Ah, you are one of the few humans I truly acknowledge."
"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."

Li Xuan took the Poké Ball from Gu Leton and put it back.

"By the way, how do I get up there?"

Li Xuan was having trouble figuring out how to get back to the ground monitoring station.

You can't exactly fly up on Metagross's back, can you?

Hmm... If it's Guleton, it seems like there won't be a problem.

"Let's just use the teleportation device. It's cutting-edge technology from the Kanto region, and it's perfectly safe."

Orin pointed to the teleportation floor not far away.

Well, it really is subspace teleportation technology from the Kanto region.

It must be said that Pokémon does have some merit in certain technological aspects.

"Then I'll be going. Goodbye, Dr. Orin."

"Yes, I hope you can return to your own world soon."

……

……

At the gate of Zone Zero.

"Holy crap, the air feels so much better here!"

The moment he returned to the ground, Li Xuan took deep breaths of fresh air.

It's so oppressive down there, and it's also very damp.

This made Li Xuan afraid to even breathe deeply.

Now it's much better, I feel much more comfortable.

"Let me see... Hmm, the nearest town is Jinhui Town, which I think is the town where Aoki lives, right?"

Li Xuan took out his phone and looked at it.

Hey, it really is!
When Li Xuan thought of Aoki, that lifeless face came to mind.

Sigh, having to do three jobs at once—being a gym leader, one of the Elite Four, and a League office worker—must be this miserable, right?

This is also why Li Xuan didn't want to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

He was also afraid of being exploited like that!
"Hello, are you the young person that Chairman Ye Ci mentioned?"

As Li Xuan was pondering, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, but with a lifeless face, appeared.

Upon seeing this face, Li Xuan knew it was Aoki.

"Mr. Aoki... are you alright?"

Li Xuan blinked and asked.

"Hmm... Chairman Yeci asked me to take you to Zhuotai City, please follow me."

Upon seeing Li Xuan's response, Aoki immediately dispatched his hair-shaped bird, the Mkorhawk, which sped off towards Tabletop City.

Li Xuan also sent out his own strangely colored giant gold monster, which made a striking entrance with its dazzling silver brilliance.

Those behind, including Aoki, noticed this impressive aura and couldn't help but turn around to look.

Upon closer inspection, wow!
A multicolored Metagross!
Aoki also realized Li Xuan's extraordinary qualities.

At least their luck is undeniable.

Led by Aoki, after several hours of travel, they successfully entered Takadaichi City in the evening.

"Where to next, the Pokémon League or..."

"Go to Orange Academy, Chairman Ye Ci is in the principal's office."

"Row."

Once you enter Zhuotai City, the journey becomes much shorter.

However, Aoki did not go to Orange Academy immediately, but instead took Li Xuan to a restaurant for a meal.

"Would you like something to eat? It's on me."

Aoki handed the menu to Li Xuan.

"Whatever, I don't have any dietary restrictions."

Li Xuan pushed the menu back.

Aoki nodded slightly, ordered a few dishes, and handed them to the waiter.

We didn't talk much during the meal.

It's basically adults having a bittersweet chat.

"Sigh, being a gym leader is tiring. Occasionally, if a challenger from the League wants to challenge the League, I have to go and guard the area. Even though many people can't even get past Cindy, I still have to stay there."

"really."

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Mr. Li Xuan, what did you do before?"

Aoki posed the question to Li Xuan, as he was also very curious why Li Xuan, with such great strength, had come to the Padiya region.

Could it be that you're looking for a quiet, easy job?
If Li Xuan was looking for a leisurely job, Aoki thought he probably wouldn't get his wish.

The Padiya region is currently lacking in talent.

A talent like Li Xuan will definitely be put to good use by Chairman Ye Ci!

Who knows, I might end up like him, working three jobs at the same time...

Thinking of this, Aoki looked at Li Xuan as if he were looking at himself...

It stretches as far as the eye can see, yet it also has an end in sight.

Good brother, I'm in dire straits myself. After this meal, it's time to hit the road!

This is Aoki's idea.

Noticing Aoki's expression, Li Xuan scratched his head, feeling both puzzled and impressed.

"Aoki Tenno! What brings you to Takakibe City today? And this guy next to you... wow! You exude the aura of a true powerhouse!"

While waiting for the food, someone who sounded like an acquaintance of Aoki arrived.

"Oh...it's Nemo. I'm here to help Chairman Yeci with something."

Aoki looked in the direction of the sound and saw who it was.

Nemo?

Upon hearing the name, Li Xuan also looked over.

The newcomer was a girl wearing the Orange Academy uniform, with a high ponytail and a tuft of green highlights.

Well, it really is Nemo, who is known for her unrequited love.

The girl in front of me is a battle fanatic who loves battling with trainers.

There's a saying among Pokémon trainers: if your eyes meet, you're about to have a Pokémon battle.

This claim does not hold true in the Parthian region.

There was such a saying in the early years.

But this claim has been disproven ever since Nemo embarked on her trainer journey.

The reason for this is that the local trainers are all terrified of Nemo.

Nemo sensed the aura of a powerful trainer emanating from Li Xuan, and she definitely wanted to have a Pokémon battle with him: "Big brother! How about we have a Pokémon battle after you finish eating?"

how about it?
That's definitely not good!
Li Xuan hasn't been very eager to fight lately; he's only thinking about making money.

The main problem is that I'm short of money!
"Then what..."

Li Xuan wanted to politely decline Nimo's offer.

But then the other party said, "If you can beat me, how about I give you a 100,000 yuan bonus?"

"That's great, I've always been a trainer who enjoys battling. However, I need to go see Chairman Yaji later, so it might be a bit late."

Li Xuan originally planned to fight after eating, but since he had made an appointment with Ye Ci, he decided to chat first before starting the match.

"Okay! No problem! Orange Academy has a dedicated battle arena, so we can fight there once you come out!"

Nemo couldn't wait to fight Li Xuan: "Big brother, I'll be waiting for you on the Orange Academy's playground!"
