Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

When the emperor spoke of Qianli, he showed great respect.

Clearly, they also highly recognize Qianli's abilities.

Ok.

If it's Qianli, then Xia Yan wouldn't be surprised.

"I wish you the best in achieving the feat of truly challenging Mr. Qianli's full strength as soon as possible." Xia Yan's expression was slightly strange.

"Thank you."

Dan Di clearly didn't understand the meaning behind Xia Yan's words.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Dan Di left with a middle-aged man in a maroon suit who was leaning on a cane.

He will continue to challenge the remaining gyms in the Sinnoh region.

The man in the magenta suit, according to Dan, was his agent, arranged for him by the league.

At the same time, it was also to allow him to better understand the current state of the league, so he could be considered a part-time tour guide.

Besides challenging gyms and training Pokémon, Leon usually spends most of his time filming small commercials to earn endorsement fees, which is one of his main sources of income from training Pokémon.

However, Xia Yan felt that this so-called agent should also serve as a bridge between Dan Di and the Alliance.

Looking back now, it seems that these future league champions all had some side businesses of their own, more or less.

Sometimes, it's even hard to say which is a side job and which is the main job.

For example, Lance will not only be the champion of the Johto region and one of the Elite Four of the Kanto region in the future, but also a League Investigator. His main and side jobs have been completely mixed up.

Take Daigo for example. His main job is collecting stones, his side job is managing a company, and his secondary side job is winning the Hoenn League championship.

Then there's Cynthia, whose main job is being a champion, and her side job is being a professional mythologist.

The person most similar to Dante is Karuno, the future champion of the Carlos region; one shoots commercials, and the other shoots short films.

It might even dominate television and online platforms for some time in the future.

When watching Karuno in the movie, you'll see Dant during the commercial breaks.

The covers of newspapers and magazines are still full of them.

It's fair to say they've completely mastered the art of filmmaking.

"sideline......"

Xia Yan rubbed his chin.

Is it necessary to broaden some side hustle opportunities?

After seeing off Dan Di, Xia Yan came to their side.

"Garuda is very strong."

As he spoke, Xia Yan returned the Poké Ball containing Garchomp to Cynthia.

"Garuda likes you very much."

"I'm taking the Poké Ball," Cynthia said.

She knows her Garchomp best.

It's definitely one of the more arrogant types of elves.

Yet, under Xia Yan's command, they were able to execute Xia Yan's tactical arrangements almost perfectly.

In particular, the moment he caught Charizard's "Dragon Dive" was the key to determining the outcome of a normal battle.

Garchomp followed up with a "sandstorm" and then a "dig," which it did exactly; otherwise, victory wouldn't have been so easy.

Charizard's Special Attack is terrifying when its "Firestorm" ability is activated, while Garchomp's Special Defense is not particularly outstanding.

However, Xia Yan and Garchomp cleverly avoided Charizard's burst of power.

Cynthia thought that Xia Yan would follow Garchomp's lead and recklessly attack from beginning to end.

Do you like it?

Xia Yan rubbed his forehead.

Garchomp wasn't like that at the beginning.

"Speaking of which, this Pill Emperor is really quite impressive," Du said, glancing towards the doorway.

“Yes, he’s a few years younger than us, and he’s already one of the most outstanding among his peers,” Xia Yan agreed.

"A few years younger?! The Pill Emperor?"

That beard.

Du almost thought that Dan Di was older than them.

"They just look older than we are, but they are indeed a bit younger than us." Kona rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

These people are all around the same age, at most two or three years apart, so they are considered to be of similar age.

But Dan Di should be about five or six years younger than them.

Xia Yan was too embarrassed to ask the exact amount.

But it is precisely because of this age difference that the Pill Emperor's talent is so outstanding.

Du immediately abandoned the idea of ​​fighting Dan Di.

Let's wait until Dan Di has fully matured and both of us have reached our peak before considering it.

"Why don't you stay and play for a few days? I've arranged rooms for you."

"I don't care. There are still more than ten days until school starts, so it doesn't matter where I am," Kona was the first to speak.

"My mission isn't urgent, so I can stay for a day or two," Du said after thinking for a moment.

“I happen to be in charge of some project development in Random Town, so I’m fine with that,” Daigo said, also indicating that he had no problem.

The group looked at Cynthia.

Cynthia smiled and said, "My home is very close by."

Living here or living in God's Town makes no difference to Cynthia.

"Alright, you guys play by yourselves for a while. I'll go take care of the rest of my things, and tomorrow I'll take you around Suiyi Town to see the different scenery and culture."

After saying that, Xia Yan turned around and went back to work on matters concerning the dojo.

The first day of opening.

There are always many things to do, and I'm very busy.

However, with the gym challenge, which was the biggest highlight of this opening ceremony, over, all that's left are some trivial matters.

In general.

The opening ceremony of the dojo was very successful.

Although Dan Di's appearance surprised Xia Yan.

But his appearance also brought the gym challenge to a perfect close.

I believe that after today, many people will come to challenge the gym because of this high-quality final battle.

After all, as Wataru said, most trainers are people who know it's difficult but still push forward desperately. No one would admit that they are inferior to others, right?

Moreover, most of the trainers affiliated with the league have never truly experienced the harsh realities of society and always believe that they are the next Elite Four champions.

In short, "stubborn young man".

As for the subsequent trivial matters, Xia Yan entrusted Kiku to Kiku as much as he could.

With the dojo newly opened, Kikuna will remain for a while longer.

But she has already started looking for a formal dojo manager for Xia Yan, so she can't stay here forever.

all.

starting today.

It will then enter a stage of steady development.

As for Xia Yan's Dragon-type Gym, he will gradually become known as one of the many Gyms in the Sinnoh region.

...

...

One week later.

Xia Yan waved goodbye to Cynthia, who was riding Garchomp away.

He was also the last person he invited to maintain appearances.

Watari was the first to leave, as he was busy with his investigation duties.

Then it was Cora's turn; she had to prepare for the start of the school year and give a speech as a representative of the senior students.

Daigo, upon hearing that someone had discovered a new stone, hurriedly left.

Finally, Cynthia also rushed to help today because of a phone call from Dr. Yamanashi.

Once again, only Xia Yan was left.

During these seven days.

The news about Xia Yan opening a gym has become increasingly popular online and in the news, with more and more people flocking to Random Town to challenge the first Dragon-type gym in the Sinnoh region.

This also made Xia Yan quite busy, and he didn't have much time to take care of these friends.

Fortunately.

The initial surge in popularity didn't last long; recently, the number of challengers has gradually decreased, and things are slowly stabilizing.

However, it must be said that the liveliness of Random Town continues to rise due to the construction of Natsuhiko Dojo.

Many people have already sensed the development potential of Suiyi Town and have chosen to settle there.

The rising population, increased foot traffic, and steady progress in urban development all indicate that Suiyi Town will become better and better.

Xia Yan, who brought about these effects, became an object of respect and worship in the hearts of the residents of Suiyi Town.
