Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Those cat-like eyes were even more captivating.

And with that little beauty mark at the corner of her left eye, wow...

"Have you decided which letter to choose?" Miss Q asked with a smile, looking at Xia Yan who was tilting his head to the side.

"Are there any other options?"

"It depends on the situation. In most cases, there's no choice."

Xia Yan shrugged.

Saying it means not saying it.

"I probably won't be assigning you any areas to work in for the time being. Is there anywhere you'd like to go? In the Sinnoh region, I'll see if I can make room for you to practice."

“Jiayuan City,” Xia Yan said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Miss Q glared at him irritably, "You certainly know how to pick."

Although Ieya City is not the largest or best city in the Sinnoh region.

However, it is the city with the highest happiness index in the Sinnoh region.

Many families prefer to settle in Genen City rather than in Keio City, which is full of technology but has a high cost of living, or in Binhai City, a port city with a large population. Genen City is considered one of the top three cities in the Sinnoh region.

and.

Over the years, the Sinnoh League has never reduced its efforts in developing Home City.

The largest grand tournament venue in the Sinnoh region, various Pokémon enthusiast clubs, Pokémon interactive plazas, and all sorts of shopping malls and shops of all sizes.

Previously, the construction team from Devon Company carried out some construction tasks in Jiayuan City.

Furthermore, Sinnoh Trading Company, a behemoth in the Sinnoh region, has also invested heavily in Eri City.

Needless to say, the Chienen Gym is one of the largest gyms in the Sinnoh region.

It can be said.

It's an absolutely lucrative city.

Xia Yan chose Jiayuan City not only because the city had great potential for growth, but also because he wanted to be able to influence Suiyi Town.

Jiayuan City is the closest city to Suiyi Town, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the gateway to Suiyi Town.

If given a choice, Xia Yan would most like to take over the Hunter's Guild's business in Jiayuan City.

Even if he only needs to be responsible for this one city, that's enough.

He grinned and said, "If I have a choice, I'll definitely choose a good place."

Homeland City is also close to the Mt. Coronet mountain range, so there's no need to worry about Pokémon resources.

Upon hearing this, Miss Q gave Xia Yan a deep look.

She smiled gently.

"It's not impossible."

Leaning slightly forward.

Xia Yan didn't know why Miss Q liked to wear off-shoulder outfits and always leaned forward.

But when your boss is about to speak, you have to watch carefully, or rather, listen carefully, right?

"You need to do one more thing for me."

"What?" Xia Yan slowly frowned.

He's been very busy lately and was just looking forward to taking some time to calm down, focus on training his Pokémon, building gyms, and publishing his papers.

Miss Q smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you later, anyway, it won't be too difficult for you."

Xia Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

after?

Let's get the benefits first, since he can always refuse to do what he doesn't want to do later anyway.

Maybe Kikuko will let him finish his mission in a while?

"By the way, where's Joanna?" Miss Q suddenly asked.

"I sent her to do something else."

Something else?

Miss Q looked at him meaningfully, "You're trying to steal my boyfriend right in front of me?"

Xia Yan touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed.

"What you're saying..."

"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. Is that what you're trying to say?"

Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Miss Q interrupted him.

“I didn’t say that.”

Miss Q chuckled softly, stood up, stretched languidly, and displayed her exquisite curves to Xia Yan without reservation.

"I'm going to take a shower."

Xia Yan looked out the window.

The sun is shining brightly.

"In broad daylight..."

"Together?"

Miss Q raised an eyebrow at Xia Yan, her cat-tailed eyes full of mockery and blatant seduction.

"Uh, well, I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Xia Yan ran away as if fleeing.

I can't take it anymore, this time I really can't take it anymore.

He actually started taking off the bra strap; he really didn't dare to stay there anymore.

Watching Xia Yan jog away.

Miss Q clenched her fist, raised her chin, and revealed a victorious smile.

She finally won a round in her struggle against this little man.

After a while.

Her upturned smile hadn't returned, and she muttered something under her breath.

"The Alola region is a huge pie, can a little guy like you handle it?"

This time.

Xia Yan and Joanna returned, but the rest of the core hunters did not.

There are some things that the other Supreme Leaders may not know, but she does.

"But this is interesting, this makes it more fun!"

...

...

Random Town.

Random Dojo.

"Mr. Xia Yan, you're back. The timing is perfect." Kikuna greeted Xia Yan at the door as he returned.

"What's wrong? Is it Kiku-na-san, are you leaving?"

Kiku, as Sakuragi's assistant, has been staying in Random Town for quite some time.

He also helped Xia Yan solve many trivial matters; otherwise, he would never be as "leisurely" as he is now.

Kikuna was responsible for handling all sorts of matters, big and small, related to the establishment of the dojo.

To put it bluntly, her contributions to the dojo far surpass those of Xia Yan.

Kikuna pursed her lips, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Professor is about to become a doctor, and the Alliance's appointment letter has been issued. I... may need to go back to help Professor oversee some matters related to the conferment of titles. Professor's private research institute is also almost finished."

"But Mr. Xia Yan, don't worry, I've already selected a few candidates. Once you've reviewed them and they're suitable, I'll have them take over the dojo affairs quickly. There won't be any problems."

Is Sakuragi finally going to become a doctor?

When Xia Yan first met Sakuragi, many people said that he was basically already a shoo-in for the doctorate. However, the various procedures have been dragged on until now, and it has to be said that the league's speed is really slow.

"Of course, I will definitely attend if I have the time," Xia Yan said solemnly.

"In what capacity?" Kikuna blinked, somewhat curious.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "It's not certain yet, we'll see."

"Ah."

As Sakuragi's assistant, Kikuna naturally kept track of what happened on the researcher forum.

She also paid attention to the sensation caused by Xia Yan's paper on the pufferfish and Milotic.

She did not doubt the authenticity of Xia Yan's paper.

Although in recent years, it has become quite common to see sensational academic papers used to attract attention.

But she felt that Xia Yan wasn't that kind of person.

Xia Yan is now quite well-known in the Pokémon research community, so there's no need for him to ruin his reputation in this way.

I'm just curious about what role Natsuhiko will play at Sakuragi's doctoral degree awarding ceremony.

She understood why Xia Yan wanted to hide his identity.

After all, having achieved such success at such a young age, one must worry that some people might covet it.

As a student of Sakuragi, a researcher who also gained fame early on, she deeply understands this.

"Oh, right, actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you today." Kikuna suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Natsuhiko the important thing yet.
