It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

Reality isn't a game where you're born with three starter Pokémon to choose from.

The difficulty of obtaining the three starter Pokémon in reality is not low at all, let alone pseudo-legendary Pokémon that are even more powerful than the starter Pokémon. Moreover, Qin Ming's Shakiras is such a special existence.

"Qin Ming, you don't seem to have a gym badge yet, do you?"

Lin Wenlin extended an invitation: "How about we have a Pokémon battle tomorrow? Consider it your first gym challenge. You can also take this opportunity to test the results of your training in the Secret Realm."

"Alright!"

With both money and experience, why not?

Qin Ming looked up at the time; it was almost midnight as the three of them had been chatting.

Qin Ming then took his leave, saying, "Director Lin, it's getting late, it's time for me to go back."

After speaking, Qin Ming got off the stool, but as soon as he stood up, he felt that the surroundings were a little swaying.

Sweet champagne tastes like a beverage, but it has a strong aftereffect.

"Go back? What are you going to do about it!"

Lin Wenlin said, "You can stay here. I have plenty of guest rooms upstairs. Xiao Song already cleaned them yesterday."

"Besides, it would be too much trouble for you to go to the hotel at this time. We have to come here again tomorrow for our match. Why bother? Just stay here with me."

Qin Ming tentatively asked, "Wouldn't this be inconvenient?"

"Alright, what's inconvenient about it?"

Lin Wenlin said, "Xiao Song, take him to his room."

"Ah."

Song Yun's alcohol tolerance was clearly not bad. Although her face was flushed, she was not even a little drunk. She led Qin Ming upstairs.

Sure enough, the guest room was spotless.

"have a good rest."

Song Yun waved from the doorway: "See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Qin Ming waved, then closed the door, took a shower, and went to bed.

……

The following day, despite being somewhat drunk the night before, Qin Ming still maintained his habit of waking up early.

After washing up, I opened the door and went downstairs. Lin Wenlin and Song Yun were already having breakfast in the dining room.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, come and have breakfast."

"coming."

After a brief greeting, Qin Ming took his seat. The meal included a high-fiber vegetable salad, stomach-soothing millet porridge, freshly baked meat buns, and side dishes of pickled vegetables.

Song Yun thoughtfully prepared a bowl of millet porridge and brought it to Qin Ming.

After a simple breakfast, Lin Wenlin took Qin Ming and Song Yun to the battlefield.

Because she valued Qin Ming as her opponent, Lin Wenlin specifically chose a professional-level arena and dismissed any unnecessary staff, leaving only Lin Wenlin, Qin Ming, and Song Yun in the large arena.

The reason for doing this was that Lin Wenlin knew that Qin Ming's strength was formidable, and the battle would inevitably be intense. She dismissed everyone to avoid injuring others.

"Xiao Song, you can be the referee!"

Lin Wenlin took the initiative to stand in a corner of the arena: "Just follow the rules of a regular dojo challenge!"

"Ok."

Song Yun stepped forward solemnly and announced: "This battle will be a 1V1 battle, and each side can only use one Pokémon to fight."

"At the start of the battle, the challenged party, i.e. the Gym Leader, sends out their Pokémon first, and the challenger sends out their Pokémon later."

"The one that falls first in a battle is declared the winner."

The biggest difference between the rules of gym battles and regular trainer battles is that they are unfair, which is best reflected in the fact that the gym leader sends out their Pokémon first.

In a 1v1 battle, if the opponent chooses their Pokémon first, then sending out your Pokémon later will give you a significant advantage.

You can choose a Pokémon that is effective against the opponent's Pokémon by observing their Pokémon.

The reason for this arrangement is that the specialization of each gym leader is already public knowledge, so there is no need to keep it a secret.

Secondly, the main purpose of gym challenges is education, not to determine a winner or loser, and even to encourage trainers to defeat the gym leader's Pokémon.

"If the challenger is ready, please signal to me." Song Yun, acting as the referee, was quite professional, showing that she was very dedicated to her internship here.

Qin Ming nodded in acknowledgment: "Ready!"

Lin Wenlin, on the other side of the battlefield, did not rush to send out her Pokémon. Instead, she leisurely said, "Qin Ming, although you don't have a single gym badge, I heard from Xiao Song that you have already received the Charmander Medal from the Training Association."

"Being able to obtain the Charmander Medal means that you are at least at the level of a gym leader or above, so I don't consider you an ordinary challenger."

"The Pokémon I'm going to use next will be of a higher rank, is that okay?"

Qin Ming smiled and nodded: "No problem!!"

"Alright, let's begin!!"

Having received Qin Ming's definite reply, Lin Wenlin quickly threw a Poké Ball towards the battlefield: "Lapras, the next battle is up to you!!"

……

When Song Yun, who was temporarily acting as the referee, saw that Lin Wenlin had released a Lapras, a top-tier Gym Leader, she immediately frowned.

This Lapras wasn't a Pokémon issued by the training association for testing purposes; it was a Pokémon that Lin Wenlin had raised herself.

Although this Lapras is only at the peak of the Gym level, Song Yun knows that Lin Wenlin is training it as her main battle Pokémon.

Using a top-tier Gym Leader Pokémon in a battle is a bit excessive.

For Lin Wenlin, using the dojo's peak-level Lapras was intentional.

She had heard Song Yun talk about how outstanding Qin Ming's performance was in the Shenzhen University selection competition more than once, so she deliberately used a slightly overpowered Pokémon to battle him, just to test Qin Ming's strength.

Despite a sliver of worry for Qin Ming, Song Yun, acting as referee, dutifully waved her flag: "Qin Ming, it's your turn to send out the elf..."

Before Song Yun could finish speaking, Chenglong, who was in front of Lin Wenlin, ran over to Qin Ming and nuzzled his hand with its long neck, indicating that he should stroke it, looking very affectionate.

"Why?!!"

"What the hell?!" Song Yun and Lin Wenlin both stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Lapras ran directly to its opponent and acted cute without its trainer's command?

What's happening here?

"Chenglong, what's wrong with you?!"

Lin Wenlin stared in shock at the elf she had raised, its affectionate manner towards Qin Ming making it seem as if it weren't hers at all.

After a round of stroking, Qin Ming laughed and broke free from Chenglong: "Alright, alright, go play over there."

“Woo~!!!”

“Woo~!!!”

Chenglong obediently followed orders and voluntarily stepped aside.

"You drugged my dragon?"

Lin Wenlin looked completely bewildered, and even Song Yun looked stunned.

Qin Ming said with a wry smile, "Director Lin, why don't you choose a different Pokémon to battle me?"

Having received the blessing of the Dragon Clan and had their favor with him at its peak, Qin Ming, who was being unconditionally helped by the Dragon Clan, was unlikely to be challenged by them.

Lin Wenlin looked at her dragon, but its eyes showed absolutely no fighting spirit. Let it fight? Forget about it!

"Can you tell me what happened?!"
