Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

And Dan Di has already made it to the finals!

His final opponent in the finals, and also Leon's formidable rival, was Raihana, the Gym Leader of Motostoke City and a Dragon-type Pokémon specialist!

Speaking of which...

Loz went to great lengths to help Dan become the champion.

Pione has long since stepped down, and the title of champion in the Galar region has remained vacant, yet the "Galar Champions Cup" has still not been held.

Once Leon had grown up and it was confirmed that he was strong enough to easily defeat Kibana, Rose immediately held the Champions Cup.

Xia Yan didn't believe that they were waiting for the Pill Emperor.

"Are you that confident in the match against Cibana?"

Dan rubbed his nose and laughed, "Of course! I can't say for sure about others, but of all the people participating in this Champions Cup, Cibana is the one I know best!"

The two of them have been fighting since they were kids.

Although if Dan Di were to become the champion now, he would most likely be the weakest champion among the eight regions of the league.

But Xia Yan is still very supportive of the idea of ​​becoming the champion.

Having stated his position, Dan Di added gratefully, "However, I still want to thank Xia Yan. If you hadn't helped, those inexplicably appearing Dynamax wild Pokémon alone would have kept me so busy that I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on the competition."

After Xia Yan entered the Crown Snowfield, the Interpol team formed by A Jian and Asahi, with the help of consultant Dr. Mulan, cleared up more than one incident of wild Pokémon Dynamaxing.

"Did it really just appear out of nowhere?"

Xia Yan gave Dan Di a meaningful look with a half-smile.

"Waaaaah~~"

Soroya raised his head and echoed.

Upon hearing this, the Pill Emperor was slightly taken aback.

He hurriedly asked, "Xia Yan, have you found the reason?"

In this regard.

Xia Yan did not answer, but turned his head to look out the window at the towering boxing arena.

Seeing that Xia Yan did not answer, Dan Di did not press the matter.

He felt that Xia Yan had probably already discovered some clues, but hadn't confirmed them yet.

I don't know.

Xia Yan knew the reason long ago, but given that Dan Di and Rose were still in their "honeymoon period," Dan Di might not believe it if he directly said that Rose was the cause.

He will only be convinced if he sees it for himself.

Ring ring—

The wind chimes at the entrance of the battle café rang out with a crisp sound, accompanied by the clatter of high heels.

A tall woman, wearing a white trench coat and black stockings, strode in with an expressionless face.

He walked straight up to Xia Yan and Dan Di.

"Olive?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Dan Di was visibly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

Olive, the vice president of the Marocom Group, is also Loz's first secretary and Loz's most loyal supporter. She is a very capable and strong woman. She invented the "Gigantastic Bracelet" that is now popular throughout the Galar region. She is currently in charge of the Marocom Group's operations.

Olive didn't seem surprised by Dan Di's surprise. She simply nodded slightly to him and then looked at Xia Yan, who was sitting in his seat with a smile, showing him polite respect.

"Champion Xia Yan, President Luo Zi would like to meet you."

"Xia Yan, I didn't tell anyone..."

Upon seeing this, Dan Di quickly offered an explanation.

He had promised Xia Yan that he wouldn't tell anyone about his trip to the Galar region.

However, Xia Yan stopped him with a look, and he simply smiled and responded to Olive:

"it is good."

"The car is already waiting outside."

Xia Yan did not hesitate and stood up while holding Zoroya.

In his arms.

Soroya looked at Olive with some wariness. Its intuition told it that this seemingly ordinary woman was not simple.

"I am coming too!"

Dandi decisively chose to go with him.

Inside the luxury car of the Maroc Group, Olive sat in the passenger seat, while Xia Yan and Dan Di sat in the back.

Dan Di wanted to explain further.

But then, Natsuhiko, leaning against the car window and gazing out at the unique scenery of Motogakure, slowly said:

"Don't worry, it's not because of you. If I entered the city of Hammerlocke and President Loz didn't even know, then he wouldn't be the president of the Galar Alliance or the chairman of the Maroc Group."

Even before choosing to enter Hammerlocke City, Natsuhiko had already prepared to meet Rose.

One of his purposes in coming to Motogakure was to meet Rhodes.

Upon hearing this, the Pill Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Olive, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head slightly, somewhat surprised.

soon.

The car was parked in front of the Marokom Group branch office building in Motogaku City.

Even though it's just a branch office, this building is still the second tallest building in Motogaku City after the Motogaku Arena.

And at the doorway.

Xia Yan then saw Loz, the chairman of the Maroco Group and president of the Galar region, who was slightly overweight, had his hair sticking back, and was wearing a gray suit!

"Champion Xia Yan! I'm so sorry, I've been quite busy lately, so I had to have Olive pick you up..."

Lorz greeted him with a big smile.

Xia Yan's first impression was actually quite good.

"Not at all. President Loz is preparing for the 'Champions Cup' and he personally came downstairs to pick me up. I am already flattered."

Xia Yan said with a fake smile on his face.

After exchanging a few pleasantries downstairs, the two went up to the top floor of the building, to Loz's office.

Here.

It offers a view of almost the entire city of Quanguan.

Olive respectfully served two cups of coffee and then left, leaving Xia Yan and Luo Zi in the office.

As for Emperor Dan.

They were pulled aside early on to discuss how to further promote him.

Loz and Xia Yan sat facing each other on the sofa next to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Neither of them spoke; they simply gazed silently out the window.

"Champion Xia Yan, what are your thoughts on the Galar region?"

Loz's words shattered the peace.

Xia Yan subtly raised his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"This region is developing quite rapidly. At this rate of development, it will likely become one of the three most developed regions in the alliance within ten years."

Lorz nodded.

"Very sincere."

Saying it's the most developed is a bit of an exaggeration.

But getting into the top three is still acceptable.

"However, according to calculations and analyses by some of our experts, given the current rate of development and energy consumption in the Galar region, it is estimated that the region's energy will begin to weaken in 100 years, become insufficient in 500 years, and be completely depleted in 1,000 years, turning the Galar region into a desolate wasteland."

There was little emotional change in Loz's words.

However, Xia Yan could faintly sense a determination emanating from Loz.

A determination to leave a legacy for the Galar region, even if it means becoming a sinner for all time.

to be frank.

From the perspective of the outcome, Rose's act of reviving Eternatus may have been wrong, but from the perspective of his motivation, his heart for the Galar region was absolutely the same as Leon's.

"Hehe—I've gone off on a tangent. Actually, the reason I asked you to come here this time is to ask you for a favor."

"I?"

"Champion Xia Yan, you should know that although our Galar region has developed rapidly, it has always been in a closed state due to the League's arrangements and system. Many people do not know that there is such a region as ours in the League."

Xia Yan nodded slightly.

He also knew that the Galar region was about to open.

"However, this situation will soon change. The bill to open the Galar region to the League has been fully passed. Soon, the Galar region will be fully open, just like the other seven regions of the League, welcoming trainers from all over to challenge the League."

At this, Lorz's emotions finally rose a little.

"As is customary, when a region opens up for promotion, a major competition is usually organized, or some exhibition matches are prevented, in order to promote the region."

When the Alola region was first opened, a Manalo Tournament was held, and Xia Yan was one of the participants at that time.

"So, you want me to play an exhibition match?" Xia Yan asked, half-closing his eyes.

Yes, but not entirely.

Loz gave an ambiguous answer.

But he didn't hide anything and explained, "I'm planning a Pokémon League World Championship!"
