Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Losing weight?" Xia Yan pressed his temple.

He's not a big eater, he just doesn't want to waste food.

Why does it feel like it has turned into a "false" feeling that I am never full?

"Hmm." Cynthia lowered her eyes subtly.

"It's not that I'm not full, I just don't want to see food go to waste."

He said this, but his hands didn't stop moving.

Cynthia smiled gently.

Propping her head up, she silently watched as Xia Yan ate every last bit of the dinner she had prepared.

The smile on his face widened even more.

He is a frugal person.

After finishing his meal, Xia Yan wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

“Hmm, Dragon type, that sounds more intriguing.” That was his answer to Cynthia’s earlier question.

"That dragon-type Pokémon..."

Xia Yan took a sip of water and let out a long sigh.

"It's not a big problem. Anyway, I estimate it will take some time before the dojo is completed, which should be enough."

Even after the dojo is built, it may not be able to open immediately. It will have to wait until the alliance's testing and assessment are completed before it can officially "open for business".

"By the way, I heard Kikuno Tenno say that Suiyi Town is not so simple?" Xia Yan suddenly asked.

He only conducted a simple survey of the environment of Suiyi Town, as well as some of its facilities and industries, and found it suitable, without delving into it further.

To be honest, there wasn't much in Suiyi Town that he needed to investigate; most of the people there were small-scale ranchers.

Building gyms in Random Town would only bring benefits to these ranchers.

Upon hearing this, Cynthia frowned slightly.

"It's probably... a breeding center."

"Incubation center?"

Xia Yan was stunned.

Yes.

The reason why Random Town hasn't completely fallen into ruin is because it has the largest breeding center in the Sinnoh region.

However, in Xia Yan's view, the dojo and the training center are completely complementary, and they can boost each other's popularity. They are mutually beneficial and there shouldn't be any problems between them.

otherwise.

When Xia Yan first investigated Suiyi Town, he focused his investigation on this breeding house.

Cynthia thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with that breeding house. However, the reason it has been able to continue to exist and do good business is because it has the support of Sinnoh's largest trading company. Elite Four member Kikuno is probably worried that you might have a conflict of interest with this trading company."

"A trading guild? The largest trading guild in Sinnoh?"

Xia Yan repeated Cynthia's words.

But he quickly realized something and hurriedly asked:

What is the name of this chamber of commerce?

"It's called the 'Sinnoh Chamber of Commerce'. It's a loose organization composed of many wealthy people in Sinnoh. Every year, they do some charitable work and also invest in some businesses. The Chamber of Commerce has businesses in many cities in Sinnoh, and it's considered a very well-known non-governmental organization in the Sinnoh area."

"It's said that the incubation facility was built with funding from this chamber of commerce," Hilona briefly explained.

Sinnoh Chamber of Commerce?

Anyone who dares to use the name of a region as the name of their chamber of commerce is either a fool or has enough confidence.

How could an organization that has developed into the most famous trading company in Sinnoh be a greenhorn?

Xia Yan immediately asked, "Who is the president of this chamber of commerce?"

Cynthia was somewhat surprised by Xia Yan's urgency, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "It seems... his name is Akari, a rather famous wealthy businessman and philanthropist."

Holy crap...

Xia Yan almost blurted out a curse.

How could I have forgotten about this?

Just like Team Rocket in the Kanto and Johto regions, and Team Magma and Team Aqua in the Hoenn region, the Sinnoh region is naturally not a peaceful place either.

Or rather, it wasn't as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Because in the Sinnoh region, besides the Hunter Guild, which is a relatively less cohesive organization, there is also an underground force called "Team Galactic".

This "Galaxy Team" keeps a low profile and rarely does anything that has a significant impact, so it's not very well-known.

However, a lack of fame does not mean that this organization is weak.

The leader of Team Galactic is the "tycoon" and "philanthropist" that Cynthia mentioned!

Red sun!

A man so pathologically driven that he wanted to completely destroy the world.

Even the executives of Team Galactic didn't know the true thoughts in the mind of this madman, Akari.

Team Galactic's goal is to destroy the existing world and then build a new one, re-establishing a new order.

Judging solely from the ambition of their goals, they can be said to be far superior to Team Magma and Team Ocean by several Rocket Teams.

At least, destroying the alliance is only a small part of their overall goal.

To achieve this goal, the first step Team Galactic needs to take is to summon and control Dialga and Palkia, two legendary Pokémon from the Sinnoh region that control time and space.

Xia Yan was surprised.

Behind that breeding house in Random Town, it turns out, is Team Galaxy.

It's that expressionless man from Chi Ri.

But if you think about it carefully...

If what Cynthia said is true, and that chamber of commerce has such a great influence, then choosing which city to establish itself in will inevitably involve contact with some of the lesser parts of Team Galactic.

The only saving grace is that the Galaxy team hasn't shown up openly yet, but is using the name of a chamber of commerce.

If they want to continue using this title, they must comply with some of the league's rules.

Under the constraints of rules, the risk is relatively lower.

Second.

Xia Yan obtained this information in time.

It's not too late yet; it gives him some time and mental preparation.

prior to.

Because of a series of unpleasant incidents, Xia Yan had almost forgotten about Team Galactic.

I was somewhat surprised to find out so suddenly.

But thinking about it more deeply, it's really not that bad.

Could the Galaxy be any more terrifying than the Rockets?

Cynthia watched as Xia Yan's expression changed constantly, and waved her slender hand in front of him.

What are you thinking about?

"No."

Xia Yan snapped out of his reverie and shook his head.

He looked at Cynthia and said, "Cynthia, try to minimize contact with this merchant guild in the future."

Cynthia tilted her head slightly, supporting herself with one hand.

Xia Yan continued, "I don't believe that a chamber of commerce could grow to such a large size without doing something shady behind the scenes."

Moreover, the bigger and more flamboyant it is, the more likely it is to be 'valued' by the alliance. Don't get too close to them...

That's all I can say.

"Oh," Cynthia replied.

"Ok?"

Then Cynthia slowly stood up and began to stack some plates on the table.

"Then I'll decline their offer to invest in the construction of Shenhe Town."

Done.

Cynthia picked up the plate and headed to the kitchen.

Xia Yan stared blankly at her unsteady movements.

"They're going to invest in building Shenhe Town?"

While others might not know, Xia Yan did. The "White Jade Pearl" that could summon the "God of Space," Palukia, was buried somewhere in the town of Shinwa.

They say it's an investment and construction project, but I bet it's all for the "white jade pearl" (a metaphor for something precious and valuable).

"Hmm." Cynthia's muffled voice came from inside the kitchen.

"No, you're going to wash the dishes?"

Xia Yan didn't stay at her house for just a day or two.

I've never actually seen Cynthia wash dishes.

"I'll give it a try..."

Cynthia didn't want to remain unable to master even these basic life skills.

But it turns out that some people are simply not suited to do certain things.

Snapped--
