Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

…………

"Now you are truly known to everyone in the world."

Inside the reception room, Long Yuan, along with the two beauties from the dojo, greeted Xia Chen.

Half a year later, the owner of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had turned a few more strands of white hair.

Xia Chen was a little scared, which made him feel that the position of dojo master was not so easy.

Long Yuan noticed Xia Chen's gaze and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Even you noticed? I'm getting more and more gray hair. I'll retire as soon as I find a suitable successor."

"How, are you interested?"

He still couldn't resist trying to steal Cynthia and Mingyi away.

The blush on the two sisters' faces sparked much speculation.

Xia Chen declined, saying, "To be honest, the reason I came to Beijing this time is to apply for the opening of a new dojo. As you know, Uncle Long, opening my own dojo has always been my dream."

Long Yuan looked surprised. "Opening a dojo? So fast? Even the old man agreed?"

Xia Chen explained, "I guess so, but their raw strength isn't enough yet. We need to wait for the elves to grow a bit more."

Long Yuan nodded knowingly, "Congratulations on achieving your dream. This is something that many people can't do in their entire lives."

After his initial reflection, he turned to ask, "By the way, what type of dojo are you planning to open? It's not a dragon-type, is it?"

Thinking about it carefully, Long Yuan's mood was quite complicated when he realized that the type of Pokémon with the most Pokémon in Xia Chen's team was actually Dragon.

Xia Chen shook his head and denied it, saying, "It's not a dragon-type gym. The current plan is to have a multi-attribute gym."

Long Yuan was even more astonished. "This is a road that no one has ever traveled before, yet the Alliance was able to get through it."

He suddenly sighed with emotion, "Times have changed!"

…………

Qianlong Dojo, the main battlefield.

A fierce competition is underway.

The limited seating area was bustling with noise, packed with people like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

This is a scene that is almost never seen in regular dojo challenge matches.

The reason for today's excitement is that the trainer standing on the opposing side is Xia Chen, who just won the World Youth Championship!

Who is the most popular trainer in the world right now?

When it comes to Xia Chen, even the most ruthless and ruthless Xiao Heizi couldn't utter a single word of dissent.

In his hometown of Donghuang, his fame and prestige were even more exaggerated.

To paraphrase a popular saying online, "You may not know who the Donghuang champion is, but you must have heard of Xia Chen, the World Youth Championship champion."

Xia Chen's sudden visit and battle today truly gave the novice trainers studying at the Qianlong Gym a big surprise.

Standing on the other side of the battlefield, his opponent was none other than Long Yue, the young lady of the Qianlong Dojo.

Right now, she was gazing at the situation on the battlefield, her delicate brows furrowed, her thin lips slightly bitten, a typical expression of someone on the losing side racking their brains for a way to break the deadlock.

She is already down 0-2.

None of the junior students watching were surprised by this.

Please, this is the World Youth Championship winner, a leading figure among young trainers worldwide!

As for their beloved senior sister's situation, not a single one of them could truly empathize with her.

They were excitedly discussing the other protagonist of this battle, Xia Chen.

"Wow, I didn't expect Xia Chen to be even more handsome in person than in the videos!"

"Sai Fuhao is so handsome. I mean, he's handsome in a really strong way. I'm starting to think about switching to a Steel-type specialization trainer, what should I do?"

"Never mind, I've already pre-ordered a Fortune-Gathering Spirit plus 500 gold coins. It's expected to arrive in August."

"Holy crap, bro! How did you manage to snag that? Can you resell it to me? I'll pay double!"

"I bought it from someone else for three times the price, don't you think?"

"Holy crap! They're all rich guys, give me a money-grabbing spirit!"

"Putting aside the money-gathering spirit and such, why didn't Xia Chen use Gu Leton?"

"Are you crazy? The three layers of protective shields in Raven Arena almost couldn't stop us, and you want to fight here? You're asking for it!"

…………

It can be observed that the audience is discussing Sai Fuhao, Suo Cailing, Gu Leton, and all sorts of other things, but no one is discussing the competition.

It's not for any other reason, but because Long Yue basically has no way to turn the tide. What's the point of discussing a match where the outcome is already decided?

Just as the audience had predicted, the match was nearing its end.

Saifuhao, slightly out of breath after defeating Dragonite and Altaria in succession, warily stared at the strange-looking fossil Pokémon, Dracovish, not far away.

Both elves were just one breath away from collapsing.

Long Yue finally lost her temper and coldly commanded, "Gillfish Dragon, Gill Bite!"

Having already had two of her main Pokémon defeated by Sai Fuhao, she was eager to finish off her opponent.

Otherwise, she would be humiliated in front of all her junior brothers and sisters by defeating three opponents in one fell swoop.

In particular, Sai Fuhao, who achieved a one-versus-three victory, was Xia Chen's latest captured Pokémon.

No matter how big the gap is between the two now, she cannot accept losing like this.

The ichthyosaur inhaled deeply the slightly dusty air of the rocky arena, its powerful legs swinging as it launched a final, fierce attack on the golden figure not far away.

It knew that this journey would be one of no return.

Having exhausted the last bit of energy in its body, a terrifying aquamarine wave brewed in the mouth of the gillfish dragon.

With a do-or-die spirit, it charged in front of Sai Fuhao and launched its gill bite at its golden, seemingly indestructible body!

With his strong jaws clenched, Saifuhao's body, made of a special metal, cracked slightly.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light flashed at the spot where Sai Fuhao was being tightly bitten, and countless steel-type energies gushed out and poured into the mouth of the gillfish dragon.

boom--

The golden and light blue figures swayed slightly before collapsing simultaneously.

One defeated three, 3:1, all perished.

competition is over.

……

Every time I come to the Qianlong Dojo, I inevitably end up having a friendly battle with Long Yue.

From one-sided guidance two years ago, to a close call six months ago that ended in a narrow defeat, and now to a turnaround and the first victory.

Long Yue is like a scale, recording the exaggerated leaps in Xia Chen's and the elves' strength.

"That's an outrageous statement. I've been making progress these past two years, okay?"

Long Yue protested against her father's precise and poignant metaphor.

Two years ago, she was just a newbie who had just climbed to the elite level, and now, she is just a little bit away from breaking through to the gym level.

In fact, this is already a very good result for a normal trainee.

"I know, but there are just some people in this world who can't be judged by common sense."

Long Yuan watched Xia Chen's departing figure and uttered the same sentiment he had for the umpteenth time today.

Chapter 298 I'm Here to Do Only Three Things (5k)

The plane sliced ​​through the stratosphere, leaving a streak across the azure sky, before slowly landing at Zhijiang Shuijun International Airport.

In just a few days, Xia Chen transformed into a frequent flyer, traveling from Leiwen City back to Zhijiang, then from Zhijiang to Shangjing, and finally from Shangjing back to Zhijiang.

Travel fatigue is inevitable, but the thought of a warm and wonderful future beckoning you away immediately makes that fatigue disappear.

It just goes to show that when people get really ruthless, they can even make empty promises for themselves.

Xia Chen had his reasons for being in a hurry to return to Zhijiang.

The land on Circle Island has been acquired. Out of respect for the group of Circle Bears, the island was ultimately purchased from the Alliance for less than 500 million.

Actually, this is already an incredibly low price, practically a steal.

Inland lake islands are not as cheap as islands; their average price is two to three times that of the latter.

If part of the land wasn't designated for a gym, and if there weren't fierce wild Pokémon on the island, Xia Chen estimated that the cost would have been more than double.

Regardless of the circumstances, from now on, Quan Quan Island will be Xia Chen's private island.

What he needs to do next is to have a friendly discussion with the group of adorable little ones on the island.

It would be best to reach an agreement with the island's dominant bears; otherwise, the safety of personnel working on the island later cannot be guaranteed.

On July 17th, Xia Chen, who had just returned from the capital and only rested for half a day, rode his Guleton to Quan Quan Island without stopping.

Quan Quan Island is located northwest of Yunze Lake, quite far from Zhijiang city center, but it is still under the jurisdiction of Zhijiang.

The number of cities in the Elf World is relatively small. A forest on the west bank of Yunze Lake also belongs to Zhijiang, but it is not even considered a suburb, and is only guarded by a group of forest rangers.

Since Guleton regained his legendary strength, Xia Chen's riding experience has become much more comfortable.

A transparent layer, similar to a protective barrier, completely isolates the dragon's back from the outside world.

Therefore, Leighton was able to fly at full speed without restraint.

Therefore, Leighton's full-speed flight is comparable to the speed of sound.

So, the journey of nearly two hundred kilometers only took a dozen minutes.

This was even after Guleton didn't have navigation and got lost for a while.

…………

Although it is an island in a lake, Quanquan Island is not small in size.
