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

"But Xiao Qin's command skills are in no way inferior to Milotic's!"

"Sometimes you have to admit, some people are just born to be trainers!!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruping chuckled and said, "Hahaha, my eye for talent is still pretty good; I spotted Qin Ming's potential early on!"

"But Hongsheng, shouldn't we increase the stakes?"

"That's right!!"

Lin Hongsheng nodded and said, "Judging from the talent that Xiao Qin has shown so far, he will definitely not be an unknown in the future. It is indeed worth increasing the investment, and by a large margin!"

"hehe."

Xu Ruping chuckled, took out his phone, and dialed: "Open the safe in my office and bring three sets of evolution stones to the Guangdong Provincial Training Association."

"Yes, I want it now."

Lin Hongsheng thought for a moment and then said to his secretary, Li, behind him, "Li, go downstairs to the warehouse and get me three props: a mysterious water droplet, a black belt, and soft sand. Put them all on my tab."

"Yes!!"

Secretary Li quickly left to make the arrangements.

As time went on, the outcome of the battle gradually became clear.

"Mina~!!!"

Milotic unleashed a Water Tail attack, completely knocking Kairos away. Kairos crashed to the ground, his eyes spinning in circles.

The referee checked on Keiros's condition, then waved his flag and announced, "Keiros is unable to fight. Milotic is the winner!!"

With the referee's announcement, Qin Ming officially passed the test. After some data entry, he was able to receive the Charizard medal engraved with his name.

The Charizard medal also has a serial number on the back: No. 0508

Qin Ming was initially a little proud of receiving the Charmeleon Medal, but when he saw the medal's number, he immediately calmed down.

Clearly, the numbers on the back of the medals are numbered according to the order in which they were awarded.

In other words, before Qin Ming, the entire Dragon Kingdom had already awarded more than 500 Fire Dinosaur Medals.

Is there anyone who doesn't attempt the Charizard Medal?

Yes, there are many!

Not everyone needs the Fire Dinosaur Medal to prove themselves; even top-tier individuals like Lin Hongsheng and Xu Ruping are not.

At this moment, Qin Ming recalled a class about elf ranks when he first entered university.

During class, a remark made by his counselor, Guo Jianguo, remained fresh in his memory.

"Do you know how many people there are in the Dragon Kingdom? The vast Dragon Kingdom has a staggering 1.6 billion people!!!"

"Such a large population base has given birth to countless geniuses, prodigies, and geniuses with exceptional talents!"

"The environment for trainers in China is extremely competitive; it's incredibly difficult to make a name for yourself in a major country like China!"

"The four current Elite Four members of the Dragon Kingdom all have Champion-level Pokémon as their main battle Pokémon!"

"Some might question whether only a player who has won all the championships can become the King of China?"

"Otherwise, how could someone who isn't a champion in every aspect suppress countless exceptionally talented trainers?!"

"..."

It was these words from his counselor that made Qin Ming realize that China was an extremely competitive country where even a king was no match for a dog and champions were everywhere.

"Although he received the Charizard Medal, he's only at the Elite Four level compared to Shiro."

"Now is not the time to be complacent."

Qin Ming reminded himself that the path of cultivation was long and he needed to continue to work hard.

Just as Qin Ming put away the medal, Lin Hongsheng's secretary came up to him enthusiastically: "Qin Ming, the chairman asked me to tell you that he and Principal Xu are waiting for you in their office upstairs. They have something to discuss with you and would like you to come upstairs when you have some free time after you finish the formalities."

"Alright, Brother Li."

Qin Ming had a faint smile on his lips: "I'll go up now."

Led by Secretary Li, Qin Ming returned to Lin Hongsheng's office.

Unlike before, there were two wooden boxes of different sizes next to Lin Hongsheng and Xu Ruping's tea table.

"Sit down and have some tea."

Lin Hongsheng personally poured tea for Qin Ming. As the junior, Qin Ming quickly sat down, picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and said with a smile, "The first brew, the second brew, and the third and fourth brews are the essence."

"It seems I came back at just the right time, just in time for my third infusion."

"You're quite knowledgeable, aren't you? You can rattle off a whole bunch of rhymes."

Xu Ruping laughed and said, "How was it? You passed the test as you wished and got the Fire Dinosaur Medal. Are you happy?"

“I will definitely be very happy, because this is an affirmation of the efforts I made together with the elf.”

Qin Ming nodded earnestly and said, "But I also understand that I should look forward and keep moving forward, rather than being satisfied with the status quo."

"Okay, okay!!"

Xu Ruping's eyes were practically overflowing with admiration: "To be humble in victory is even more commendable than to be undeterred in defeat. You are so young yet you can think so clearly. Excellent, truly excellent!!"

As he spoke, Xu Ruping pushed a large wooden box in front of him towards Qin Ming: "This is for you, consider it a congratulatory gift for winning the Fire Dinosaur Medal."

"Thank you principal!!"

Regardless of what it was, Qin Ming first expressed his gratitude, then opened the large wooden box and was immediately dazzled by its brilliant light.

The large wooden box was neatly filled with high-quality evolution stones, each stone a different color, like a rainbow contained within the box.

This is not just a simple Water, Fire, and Thunder Evolution Stone, but nine types of Evolution Stones: Fire, Water, Thunder, Leaf, Moon, Sun, Light, Dark, and Ice, with three of each type, for a total of 27.

The 27 dazzling, high-quality evolution stones were placed in the large wooden box, making the box look a bit crowded.

If Steven, who loves collecting stones, saw these high-quality evolution stones, his eyes would probably be wide open.

Even though Qin Ming wasn't Daigo, he was still incredibly surprised when he saw this pile of evolution stones.

27 evolution stones, let's say each one costs 80, the market price is 2160 million.

Giving yourself something worth over 2000 million as a gift is no small thing.

Seeing Qin Ming's surprised look, Xu Ruping's smile grew even brighter: "These things are what I prepared for your Shakiras."

"Although Shakiras can get enough nutrition by eating some refined iron, if you feed it these evolution stones rich in attribute energy on a daily basis, it can supplement Shakiras's nutrition very well."

“Especially since your Shakiras is so big, I prepared a lot. These evolution stones will be enough for it to eat for a while.”

Qin Ming accepted the large wooden box without hesitation, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Principal! You're so kind!"

Xu Ruping's gift was very appropriate.

Lin Hongsheng poured Qin Ming another cup of tea and pushed the small wooden box in front of him: "Little Qin, this is a gift for you. Do you like it?"

"Okay, President!"

Qin Ming happily opened the wooden box, inside which lay three props.

[Mysterious Water Drop: A teardrop-shaped gem. When carried, it increases the power of Water-type moves.]

[Black Belt: A belt that boosts your spirits. Wearing it will increase the power of your fighting moves.]

【Soft Sand: Sand with a fine, smooth texture. When held, it increases the power of Ground-type moves.】

The three items Lin Hongsheng gave were all items that enhanced the attributes of the spirits, and the total value of these three items was around 1700 million.

"The Mystic Drop is for your Milotic, the Black Belt is for Lucario, and the Soft Sand is for your Sorcerer."

Seeing that Qin Ming didn't react much, Lin Hongsheng asked, "Is it inappropriate?"

"I appreciate the president's kind gesture."

Qin Ming replied truthfully, "However, I have already arranged carrying items for my Pokémon..."

To be fair, the gift was nice, but it wasn't really suitable for Qin Ming. He wouldn't have much use for it except to sell it for money.

As for money, Qin Ming had no shortage of it after returning from exploring the secret realm.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Xu Ruping pointed to his longtime friend and laughed, "Hongsheng, the gift you gave me wasn't appropriate. It was rejected."

Lin Hongsheng wasn't annoyed by his friend's teasing. He simply rubbed his forehead and asked, "Then, Qin Ming, what do you want?"

"Forehead…"

Qin Ming was at a loss. What did he want?

The items were prepared for the Pokémon long ago; ordinary items are not very useful.

Of course, it's not that there's nothing they want.

Qin Ming wanted an attribute-related treasure, but it was clear that such treasures were extremely valuable and rare, and even Lin Hongsheng, despite his high position, probably didn't have one.

"never mind!!"

"If you can't figure it out, then don't bother trying!!"

Lin Hongsheng waved his hand dismissively: "Go downstairs to the storeroom and pick whatever you like!"
