Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

For them, the "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition" was the only real end.

Although the items I chose were not quite what I expected, the fact that they came with a Mega Stone was a pleasant surprise.

In the end, Xia Yan still came out ahead.

I was led back to the lobby by the staff.

“Um… I still need to go see King Kikuno,” Xia Yan said.

"I'm waiting for you."

Cynthia knew that Xia Yan was going to deal with matters related to the dojo, and simply said something in a low voice.

"it is good."

Xia Yan did not refuse.

After all, it would be a bit boring to go back alone later.

Moreover, Cynthia also asked him to go to God and Town again.

They're being all mysterious; I wonder what they're planning to do.

Once again, led by a staff member who had been waiting for a long time, Xia Yan headed to the office area of ​​the Four Heavenly Kings.

Cynthia, carrying her things, watched Xia Yan's departing figure, becoming yet another striking sight in the lobby of the Alliance headquarters.

Knock knock—

I knocked gently on the door.

"Wait a moment." Kikuno's slightly flustered voice came from inside.

Then I heard some rustling and messy sounds.

After a moment, Kikuno's voice rang out again.

"Come in."

Push open the door.

The offices of the Four Heavenly Kings are all on the top floor of the Alliance headquarters building.

So the first thing you see when you push open the door is a huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling window. Standing inside, you can see the entire area where the Alliance headquarters is located, including the streets and facilities outside the headquarters.

Then I saw Kikuno sitting behind his desk, and...

A ball of yarn left forgotten on the table.

Kikuno only realized what was happening when Natsuhiko looked at her.

"cough......"

He coughed lightly and discreetly put away the ball of yarn.

It seems their life is quite comfortable; even the Four Heavenly Kings can only pass the time by knitting.

However, Kikuno's fondness for knitting scarves was no secret to some of the league's higher-ups.

The scarves she wore around her neck were all knitted by herself.

All I can say is that the craftsmanship is quite good.

However, Kikuno didn't want to reveal her gentle side in front of Natsuhiko, who was about to become her subordinate.

After all, as one of the Elite Four who oversees all the Gym Leaders in the Sinnoh region, Kikuno even has the power to veto some Gym Leaders. If she believes that a Gym Leader does not meet the League's standards, she will remove him from the Sinnoh League Gym Leader profession.

Every now and then, a few dojos will be randomly selected for assessment of their owners, and those who do not meet the standards will be eliminated.

It can be said that they wield enormous power, holding the lifeline of all the gym leaders, big and small, in the Sinnoh region.

So occasionally you might see a figure wearing a thick scarf, moving around the gyms in various cities of the Sinnoh region. Although he is disguised to some extent, there is no doubt that it is Kikuno, one of the Elite Four.

Her favorite thing to do is to hide her identity and conduct secret investigations at various dojos.

Although she is sometimes recognized, she enjoys it.

They believe that only through secret visits can one see the true nature of some dojos.

Xia Yan, who is about to become the gym leader, is indeed, in name, her subordinate.

"King Kikuno," Xia Yan greeted respectfully.

They did not look down on Kikuno because of her special hobby.

How could someone who can defeat a veteran Elite Four member and force him to relinquish his Ground-type ability be simple?

Besides, who doesn't have a few quirks?

His cheap teacher, Kikuko, loved nothing more than scaring people everywhere.

Though old in age, my heart remains young.

Bang!

Kikuno quickly got into the zone and took out a thick booklet from the drawer.

"These are the rules for Gym Leaders in Sinnoh. Remember to read them carefully when you get back. I might come back and check them next time."

Looking at the thick booklet on the table, which had at least one or two hundred pages, Xia Yan's right eyelid twitched violently.

"So thick?"

Are you sure this is a set of rules?

Kikuno glanced at him in surprise.

"This is the table of contents. It includes dozens of sections, large and small, such as the 'Dojo Building Code Requirements,' 'Dojo Owner Code,' and 'Trainer Assessment Standards.'"

Xia Yan: "......"

Are you sure how many gym leaders in Sinnoh can be thoroughly familiar with this stuff?

By the time you finish reading this, you'll probably be in your grave by now.

It's a miracle that there are still Gym Leaders in Sinnoh.

"You can ignore it if you can get into the top three in every gym leader assessment battle," Kikuno said indifferently.

She was actually giving Xia Yan a warning.

Tell him not to think that just because he got second place and has Kikuko backing him, he can do whatever he wants in Sinnoh.

The waters of Sinnoh are very deep; as a newcomer, you can't grasp them.

How could Sinnoh, with its long history, not have several families with equally long histories?

Some of these can even influence certain decisions made by the Sinnoh League to some extent.

This can be seen as her indirectly protecting Xia Yan.

After all, Xia Yan is now considered a treasure by the Sinnoh League, but his foundation is too shallow, unlike Cynthia. Therefore, some warnings must be given from the beginning.

Hearing that the top three in the master's assessment battle could be ignored, Xia Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Having completed nine years of compulsory education, his academic level has already reached its limit; he's not here to study.

"By the way, have you chosen a location yet? If not, I have a list of options here."

“I’ve chosen, any town.” Xia Yan said frankly.

“Suiyi Town…” Kikuno frowned slightly.

Chapter 159 I betrayed myself?

Kikuno's reaction surprised Natsuhiko a little.

Random Town is nothing more than a remote and backward ranch town.

But judging from Kikuno's attitude, it seems that Suiyi Town is not simple?

"What about the attributes?"

Kikuno didn't say much about it, but Natsuhiko felt a strange unease.

What's wrong? You can't even handle a small, insignificant town?

"Dragon type".

In the end, Xia Yan still chose the Dragon type.

Originally, if conditions allowed, he wanted to choose the fairy type.

After all, it's the first Fairy-type Gym in the entire Pokémon world, which sounds very prestigious.

Unfortunately, nowadays, let alone Fairy-type Pokémon, he probably only has one Fairy-type Pokémon, Togekiss.

Then, Xia Yan also considered choosing a general studies major as a second-best option.

After all, many Fairy-type Pokémon in the future were originally Normal-type Pokémon, and only became Fairy-type after awakening their Fairy-type abilities.

That way, if Fairy-type dojos appear in the future, he can still become the first Fairy-type dojo.

But then I thought about it again.

That's all for the future.

Currently, Normal-type gyms are far less attractive than Dragon-type gyms.

By the time his Fairy-type awakens, his gym will probably have been open for quite some time.

Say.

Xia Yan most likely believes that the subsequent fairy-themed announcements will either be made by him or by his pseudonym "Dodo Bird".

In the end, if their identities are revealed, wouldn't that cause a great uproar among Dragon-type Pokémon trainers?

What if they come knocking on your door?

At this moment, others will see...

Wow, this guy is also a trainer of Dragon-type Pokémon.

They are all victims!

They must have been messed with before they discovered the fairy category.
