The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 177 Caiyou is appointed

When the two returned to the Zijin Dojo, Grandpa Tiexuan was fiddling with an electric shock device in the tool shed in the backyard of the dojo, showing no semblance of the demeanor of a dojo master.

Of course, dojo masters are all judged by their strength. If he wanted to, even if Tie Xuan went out naked every day, no one would dare disobey him.

Upon hearing the announcement, Tie Xuan immediately put down what he was doing and let Lin Ye and the other person in.

Upon seeing Lin Ye and Xiao Ju'er's appearance, the latter immediately became puzzled.

The two looked as if they had just experienced a major battle, but that was not the whole story.

Lin Ye looked naturally smug and refreshed, probably because he had completed the assessment and was here to submit it.

But on the other side, Xiao Ju'er's face, though showing a hint of dejection after defeat, also held a touch of charm and a blush, even as she walked...

As someone with experience, the old man immediately understood. His smile slowly faded, and he tentatively asked Xiaoju, "You two are more than just competitors now, right? Has he forced you to do anything?"

Xiao Ju'er blushed and shook her head: "I had a little accident while fighting Rotom, and thank you Lin Ye for saving me. As for what happened afterward, the two of us..."

After learning that Lin Ye had not forced Xiao Ju'er to do anything, Tie Xuan's expression relaxed. He wiped his hands with a rag and gestured for the two of them to sit down and talk in detail.

As for how the two of them got together, it's likely they just hit it off, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

But inwardly I was still thinking, "This young model is gone so quickly. It seems the entertainment industry is quite chaotic."

Then, Lin Ye briefly recounted the situation at the power plant, from the generator unit possessed by Rotom to how he pulled Rotom out of the core, only omitting the fact that he possessed magic.

Xiao Ju'er listened attentively the whole time, her eyes fixed on Lin Ye, looking like a well-behaved little wife.

Actually, Xiaoju'er has quite a contrast. Don't be fooled by her seemingly sexy and open-minded appearance.

But in reality, she is a traditional girl. After having a relationship with Lin Ye, her mindset immediately changed, and she began to adjust her mindset completely around Lin Ye.

After hearing the rest, Tie Xuan frowned and hurriedly asked Lin Ye to release Rotom to take a look.

Lin Ye did as instructed, summoning Gengar and having it spit out Rotom's remaining plasma energy core.

"Oh dear~, Rotom is a very attractive Pokémon, but it's already injured like this, it's probably beyond saving, Nurse Joy can't save it."

Tie Xuan examined it carefully for a while, then sighed heavily and pronounced Rotom's death sentence.

Lin Ye said calmly, "I'll go back and think of another way."

Seeing that Rotom's chances of being saved were slim, Tie Xuan didn't ask for anything and went straight to the point: "I've already uploaded the information about your mission success to the League headquarters. They said you've already completed the assessments for the three gyms and can now go to Rainbow City to accept your appointment as a gym leader."

"Congratulations, Master Lin Ye! From now on, we'll be colleagues in the Hoenn region."

Lin Ye thanked Tie Xuan, and Xiao Ju'er followed suit by bowing respectfully. Then, the two walked out of the Mauville City Gym side by side, immediately released their flying Pokémon, and headed towards Loose City.

Rainbow City is located on a coastal plateau in the southeastern corner of the Hoenn region and is the headquarters of the Hoenn League.

The city itself is not large, but the city’s architectural planning is so rigorous that it is almost rigid. The streets are straight and the building facades are uniformly made of white and gray stone. It doesn’t look like a city, but rather like a huge administrative office complex.

In reality, Saiyu City is not a major commercial or industrial center and does not have much population requirements.

Its main function is to meet the work and living needs of the alliance's senior management. The other facilities are almost all there to provide services for them. It can be said that it is a city that exists only for administrative services.

Lin Ye and Xiao Ju'er were visiting for the first time, and they strolled around with great interest.

After all, Lin Ye has now confirmed that he is the first to complete the challenge, and he is only one official appointment away from becoming the leader of the Water Lily City Gym. There is nothing to worry about.

Xiao Ju'er understood that this was a rare opportunity for her to enjoy time alone with Lin Ye, and that she would have to face competition from several other women after returning home. Therefore, she clung tightly to Lin Ye and cherished the moment, holding his arm as they strolled around.

Along the way, Gengar and Shield Sword Monster, these two brilliant strategists, argued endlessly with each other.

Gengar wanted to try and steal a high-ranking member of the League, while Aegislash complained that this place was not as good as the capital of the Hoenn Empire in any way.

Rainbow City wasn't very big, and the two of them finally finished their tour and arrived at the Alliance headquarters building.

The Alliance headquarters was a white marble building with a dome. Lin Ye showed his candidate identification at the entrance and was soon led to the reception room.

Several high-ranking members of the alliance were already waiting for him in the reception room. These people not only represented the alliance, but their clothes also had badges that clearly represented different families printed on them.

Clearly, these high-ranking members of the alliance all come from several large families that wield influence in the Hoenn region.

There were representatives from the Fumafudo Gym, people from Kanaz's side, and representatives from the Violet Clan whom we had just met.

It can be said that, apart from the recently arrived Petalburg Gym, the representatives of the powerful clans behind the other eight Hoenn gyms are all here.

The establishment of the alliance was the product of the mutual alliance and compromise among these local powerful families. The places where they now establish dojos and rule over the area were originally their territories. The so-called dojos are just the alliance's legitimate recognition of its existing power.

In addition, there are emerging forces like the Zivch family, which are powerful and have influential figures, and can also occupy a place in the struggle for influence within the alliance.

The first person to greet Lin Ye was a civil official from the Liuli family, who was probably in his early forties. When he stood up and shook hands with Lin Ye, his smile was so perfect it looked like it had been torn from an etiquette textbook.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin Ye. It is a great blessing for the entire Hoenn region to have a young Gym Leader like you in charge of Lilycove City."

Speaking of which, our Liuli family has several unused training facilities in Shuijing City. If Mr. Lin Ye needs them, he is welcome to use them at will.

After all, our family already has many businesses in Water Town, and I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

His choice of words was extremely polite, but each sentence concealed another layer of meaning.

The Ruri family has territory in Water City, and they are willing to provide you with assistance, but this assistance is not free.

Lin Ye understood, and he smiled and responded with a few polite words, neither refusing nor promising anything specific.

Following that, people from other families also spoke up, but their polite words, when translated, meant that you should be the owner and not touch their cake.

While it was rare for Lin Ye to reach the "Master Level" at such a young age, it was not something that these top-tier wealthy families should tolerate.

Especially the Liuli family, which has been the most powerful recently and has invested the most in Shuijing City, even seemed to regard Lin Ye as their agent in their conversations.

Lin Ye had traveled through three worlds and was no longer bothered by honor or disgrace, but Xiao Ju'er was enraged by these guys who didn't respect her man and immediately retorted.
