Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"I think it's still you guys..."

Kona was halfway through her sentence when Xia Yan added:

“The ‘z bracelet’ is not tied to anything; you can borrow it from someone else.”

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Du's eyes widened slightly.

With a flick of his cloak.

One of the "Z bracelets" on the coffee table is missing.

"Xia Yan, I haven't signed the name on this villa yet."

Daigo smiled and took another bracelet from the table.

Such a large villa was just given away like that?

Daigo is still the toughest one.

Cynthia and Lorelei exchanged a glance, and Cynthia said with a smile, "Lorelei, how about we share one?"

Kona glanced at Wataru with considerable displeasure.

He then smiled at Cynthia and said, "Okay."

The spoils have been divided.

He got a villa from Daigo for free, worth at least tens of millions of League Coins.

Chapter 167 You're a Fish

Two days later.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Manaro Arena.

Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky above the arena, reflecting on the sea and creating a scene of two flowers blooming in one.

Helicopters hovered over the open-air stadium.

The trainers' faces displayed a variety of expressions.

"Fortunately, we made it in time for the 'Islands Tournament,' which is said to be the first tournament ever held in the Alola region. It will surely go down in history!"

"So many celebrities! Just thinking about competing with them on the same field makes me incredibly excited!"

Trainers from all over the world are proud and excited to be able to participate in this competition.

According to the alliance's requirements, participants for this "Islands Tournament" must be under twenty years old and have collected all eight badges, regardless of the region.

This is enough to filter out most of the people.

This attracts a large number of trainers.

"I heard that the Manaro Arena was built by the Aether Foundation in a short period of time all by itself?"

Looking at the lively scene and the spacious area, Du couldn't help but sigh.

The Manaro Arena, originally intended for the "Manaro Tournament," was also built ahead of schedule.

“Yes, although the Aether Foundation is located in the Alola region, it already had certain connections with other parts of the world before the Alola region was fully open,” Daigo said.

As the young heir of Devon Corporation, he was well aware of the power of the Ether Foundation.

But in fact, the region most closely connected with the Aether Foundation is the Sinnoh region.

Their "AR system" was developed using data collected from the library in Canal City, with the help of some members of the Sinnoh League.

The Sildenafil, nicknamed "Little Arceus," is the best proof of this.

Xia Yan looked down at the "Competition Handbook" in his hand.

"The Manaro Arena is just the main venue, but because there are too many participants, they need to go through preliminary rounds in the sub-venues before they can enter the main venue to compete. This is just the opening ceremony."

Although the Manaro Arena is called an arena, it is actually not much different from an artificial island.

The main stadium is the Manaro Arena, surrounded by about a dozen smaller stadiums.

Each arena includes four types of terrain: rocks, water, ice, and grass. Which arena each arena will be in will be determined by a draw.

Besides these venues.

Of course, this includes other things as well.

For example, commercial streets, shopping streets, food streets, and other commercial streets.

There are also different housing areas, such as tourist accommodations and athlete accommodations.

Xia Yan, who had organized a "German Mini-Cup Tournament" once, was well aware of the potential profits involved.

Despite the enormous cost of building such an artificial island, given the popularity of this event, the Ethereum Foundation should be able to recoup at least a large portion of the investment, if not completely break even.

The majority of them are advertisements from companies of all sizes.

For example, the large "Made in German" signs at the highest point of the stadium are Dawujia's advertising space.

The Aether Foundation wants to develop the "Ultra Ball," and partnering with a major Poké Ball manufacturer is the fastest way.

Devon and Silver were both their choices.

Therefore, Daigo's visit this time was not only to participate in the competition, but also to meet and discuss matters with Russmina, the president of the Ether Foundation.

After this match, the Manaro Arena can be used for other matches.

Getting your money back is easy.

It may even become a major source of income for the Ethereum Foundation in the future.

"You guys keep an eye on things for a bit, I'll be right back." Xia Yan noticed the corner, said this to the group, and then left.

"Go."

Now, Xia Yan is not only a player, but also the vice president of the "UB Countermeasures Department".

Interpol agents in the Alora region were asked by the coalition to participate in emergency security for the tournament, including the "UB Countermeasures Department".

"Minister Lila."

corner.

The one who summoned Xia Yan was Lila, the head of the "UB Countermeasures Department".

“Xia Yan.” Lila nodded in a friendly manner, “Barnett has already tried the device you sent over last time. It’s very accurate. This kind of equipment is a great help to us. You will definitely get the credit for the missions to come.”

Xia Yan smiled and waved his hand, "It's what I should do."

“Barnett said that the Ultimate Hollow could appear at any time in the next few days, so I’m here to inform you that while participating in the competition is important, as Interpol officers, it is our duty to protect the majority of people.”

These past few days?

“I understand. If you need anything, Minister Lila, please give me a call directly.”

"Okay! I'm relieved to hear that." Lila's serious expression softened slightly.

"Also, I hope you can achieve good results. This competition is not easy."

"Lend your blessings."

Watching Xia Yan's departing figure, the handsome man standing silently behind Lila frowned and said, "What if Inspector Xia Yan happens to be at the competition?"

Lila glanced at him, sighed, and said, "I just want his attitude. If possible, try not to bother him."

"Understood....."

"I've already briefed my superiors on the 'baiting' operation; now it's time to prepare to bait the bait!"

"Yes!"

...

...

"Hasn't it started yet?"

Back to the players' bench.

Du nudged his lips.

On stage, Professor Oak, dressed in a white lab coat, is giving a speech.

"Professor Oak?" Xia Yan was taken aback.

"This tournament is being held in the Alola region, but the organizing committee isn't entirely composed of Alola residents. It's said that Professor Oak and his cousins, Naruto and Oak, will serve as the chairpersons of the organizing committee," Lorelei explained.

Given Professor Oak's character, he is indeed trustworthy.

The Ethereum Foundation made the right choice.

After Professor Oak finishes his lecture, it will be time for Professor Oak to succeed.

As the highly respected headmaster of the Pokémon Academy, Masaru has fully gained the recognition of the people of the Alola region.

He would be more persuasive if he didn't use those strange facial expressions when he spoke.

And then the two of them.

The speaker on stage was Lusamine, the president of the Ether Foundation!

The cheers that erupted when she appeared showed just how much prestige she enjoyed throughout the Alola region.

after all.

Both Lusamine and the Ether Foundation operate under the guise of "protecting elves."

The Aether Foundation has indeed benefited the entire Alora region to some extent.

One by one, members of the organizing committee took to the stage.

Some of them were people Xia Yan knew, and some were people Xia Yan didn't know.

but.

Because of his status as Professor Oak's half-apprentice, and being practically a contemporary of Professor Oak, and also with Rosamund... Rosamund was even planning to invite him to join the Aether Foundation...

From this perspective...
