I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

Powerful moves like Hurricane Cannon are everywhere, and Pokémon can even temporarily change their appearance by carrying rare items...

"—Come with me to the dojo later."

“Yes, I’ll take care of things at home after I beat you,” Yang Xiying nodded, which made Xiaoxia roll her eyes.

“You make it sound so obvious, I’m a dojo master after all,” this kind of person is practically the representative of a city.

"Yes, so I will take this match very seriously. I haven't played much lately, so my hands are itching to play."

"If you ask me, I can still win a level 30 3-on-3 Pokémon battle," Misty replied with a pout.

Yang Xiying basically never considered sparring with herself during her training, because that would be informal and could easily reveal information about each other.

Although they lived under the same roof, there wasn't much they could hide from each other, and Yang Xiying knew what Pokémon she had.

Azure Blade Demon, Forrettos, Slowpoke, Giant Vine, Diglett, Zubat, Clefairy, Abandoned Monkey, 3D Porygon2, Little Wobbuffet.

Among them, Zubat Clefairy was indeed a Pokémon he had recently acquired, and its level was only around 30 or 40, so it couldn't participate in full-force battles yet.

So the opponent only has six to choose from, and I don't know much about the Abandoned Monkey and Azure Blade Demon among them.

After all, these two Pokémon are rarely seen in their home region, and although I have battled them, I still haven't been able to get much information.

All I know are their characteristics and attributes, as well as some of the moves they've used, especially the latter, whose Fire-type moves are used to fight against her Water-type Pokémon.

She doesn't have much of an advantage, so the opposing team will likely field five other Pokémon, four of which have fought against her before.

The other hippo is a water-type. Although I haven't trained it yet, I know a bit about it, so my chances of winning are pretty good.

However, it is commendable that the other side was able to train their Pokémon to this level in just over a month.

Maybe I shouldn't keep him around like this... Ugh, no, this guy will only ruin more girls if he goes out! I'm protecting others! Yes, I absolutely can't lose!

However, since this guy is the legendary Pigeon Teacher, we can't be careless. Besides, we've already revealed quite a bit of information, since that person often sneaks into the dojo to watch the battles.

"Playing a real match with the opponent doesn't count as taking it seriously. Anyway, let's eat well first so that we can have a good match next time."

Yang Xiying pulled Xiaoxia to the table to sit down and have breakfast. The meal didn't take long, and the two headed towards the dojo.

Upon arriving at the dojo, the other staff members also began preparing to start work. It must be said that they were all quite dedicated and did not just clock in on time.

"Good morning, Xiaoxia."

Xiaoxia led Yang Xiying to the office inside the dojo, where a group of staff members greeted them warmly.

At the same time, she noticed Yang Xiying beside her, which surprised her, because although she had heard that he was Xiaoxia's boyfriend, she had never seen him come to the dojo.

—It's quite unusual to be here today.

"Hey? Isn't this Mr. Yang? Xiaoxia, you've finally decided to bring your boyfriend out to show off to your girlfriends?"

There are also gym leaders here, including the three swimsuit-clad women who previously battled Yang Xiying.

The older sister with her hair tied up at the back and her bangs is named Ruiquan, and the older sister with her short, golden hair is named Nami.

The older sister with golden hair piled up at the back of her head was named Tang Yan. She gave Xiaoxia and Yang Xiying a mischievous smile when she saw them.

"...Didn't you come to my house before?"

Xiaoxia squinted, her eyes lifeless. She hadn't even confronted her sisters about revealing her boyfriend to them yet.

"But it's probably just us who have seen it. Most of the people working at the dojo are family. If someone has a partner, we definitely have to help keep an eye on things."

"Tell me, why did you suddenly bring Mr. Yang out today?" The three older women gathered around and asked jokingly.

"As you all know, he is a Pokémon Trainer who is currently traveling. Although we are dating now, the journey still has to continue."

"It's just that this guy's strength is a bit worrying. I won't let him out until I defeat him when he goes all out."

"—Now this person is overestimating himself and challenging me."

"Oh... so Mr. Yang came here to have a fair fight with Xiaoxia and earn the right to leave Cerulean City?"

Ruiquan nodded subconsciously, then understood the whole story, and Yang Xiying also nodded in response.

"Yes, although this will mean that I will be separated from Xiaoxia for a while, there are some things I have to do."

Yang Xiying nodded. His original purpose for coming to this world had never changed, but as the journey began, the number of things to deal with also increased.

—If I just stay in Cerulean City, my growth will have a limit.

"After I finish this, I'll be able to better help Kasumi manage the Cerulean Dojo," he added, his thoughts swirling with a complex mix of emotions.

Because he had had ambiguous relationships with all three of them, his righteous words lacked a certain degree of authenticity.

So from the other side's perspective, it seems more like they've gotten tired of Xiaoxia and want to go out and have some fun, and there's also a feeling that Xiaoxia might take them out.

If, at this moment, a bespectacled kid, a drunken uncle, and a woman with pointed hair suddenly visited the Cerulean Gym, then...

"Oh? Is that so?" Just as Yang Xiying had expected, the three older sisters' eyes and tone were somewhat meaningful.

"The fact that Xia agreed to play against you does mean you have something important to do," but they didn't pursue the matter too much.

—After all, a harmonious relationship between two people cannot be demonstrated through role-playing.

"In that case, let me test Mr. Yang's current level."

Nami, the eldest sister with blonde, shoulder-length short hair, suddenly had an idea and made a suggestion, while the other two eldest sisters also looked eager to try.

"You have no chance to participate in the Level 3 Dojo Trial," Xiaoxia replied directly, knowing full well the consequences of a woman fighting Yang Xiying.

The people in front of us have an ambiguous relationship with that guy, and this battle is clearly not what they really want.

"--The competition is meaningless."

"Hey, I got it," Nami said playfully, tapping her head and sticking out her tongue in response to Xia's reaction.

Yang Xiying is very strong. No matter how hard they try, they can only fight against level 30 master duels, and even that is not as good as Xiaoxia's understanding.

So fighting is pointless, but it's a bit cunning for Xiaoxia to have all the power, since the other side has also established a relationship with her.

—I'll just have to find an opportunity to arrange it once.

“But that would make it easier to pass the League’s gym inspection, right?” Tang Yan, the older sister with blonde hair tied up behind her head, said with a smile.

"After all, with Xiaoxia and Mr. Yang's strength, they will definitely be able to put on a good fight."

"Huh?" Xiaoxia was stunned when she heard Tang Yan's words. At this moment, the dojo leader with white hair and bronze skin walked over.

"The people sent by the Kanto Pokémon League to investigate are already waiting in the reception room. Gym Leader Misty, please go and greet them now."

"Oh, okay," Xia nodded after a moment's hesitation, which piqued Yang Xiying's curiosity. "A dojo visit?"

“It’s an annual tradition, the gyms are facilities of the Pokémon League,” the three older women replied enthusiastically.

"Therefore, the alliance will also send people down to observe the condition of the facilities, specifically to see how well the people inside are managing them."

“If it is not managed well, the gym will be deemed unsuitable for training trainers, and will be closed for renovations, or even have a change of owner.”

"But if we run the business well, we will be rewarded and receive all sorts of awards, so Mr. Yang, your timing is quite good."

"If the challenger can go toe-to-toe with the gym leader during those people's inspection, that would be a bonus."

"—Because this shows that both sides are trying to play this role."

“I see,” Yang Xiying nodded, then turned her gaze to Xiaoxia, “Then I’ll wait for you here for now.”

Although he is her boyfriend, she is still an outsider in terms of work, and it is not convenient for her to continue to act with Xiaoxia.

"...Okay, I'll go and say hello to the inspectors. If there are no challengers later, we can start the battle directly."

Xiaoxia nodded and walked toward the meeting room the guide had indicated, while Yang Xiying waited in the office, even chatting with others.

Many people are asking about their relationship with Xiaoxia, and the girl has indeed seemed much more energetic lately.

—It's just like my wife's relatives.

"Huh?!" Not long after, Yang Xiying also suddenly heard Xiaoxia's scream, and he couldn't help but rush over.

At the same time, he used his still-unskilled sense of aura to detect a very powerful aura not far away.

"Xia! Eh—?" Yang Xiying followed the familiar scent to a room and pushed the door open.

Then I saw a few people sitting on the sofa with bewildered expressions.

Especially the beautiful woman with wine-red hair and a low ponytail that I saw as soon as I entered.

Compared to the lively, spirited, and slightly naive Xiaoxia, this one is more like a mature fruit, both in terms of figure and face.

Her figure was accentuated by the black office lady outfit, which made her look even hotter, and her healthy thighs, covered by black stockings, were revealed under the bodycon skirt.

Her face was flawless, and her wine-red pupils were as clear and bright as gemstones. Wearing glasses gave her an intellectual air.

But overall, he seems aloof and cold, much like the tutors often seen in Japanese films.

Besides them, there were also men and women dressed in suits, who were also bewildered, as their intrusion was somewhat unexpected.

"You... how did you suddenly come here?" Xiaoxia also noticed Yang Xiying, and she was quite surprised as well.

"I was just worried that something might have happened to you. You were shouting so loudly, and there was definitely a powerful aura here."

Yang Xiying's expression was subtle, it seemed she had misunderstood something, and Xiaoxia couldn't help but respond at this moment.

"Where did you come from, Saiyan?! I'm just a little surprised that it was Miss Lorelei who came to inspect the Cerulean Gym."

Hearing that Yang Xiying had come over because she was worried about her, Xiaoxia became a little embarrassed, but also felt relieved.

"...Did you suddenly barge in because you were worried about me? Hehe, Xia, aren't you going to introduce this rather new face to me?"

At this moment, the woman with burgundy hair spoke up, looking at Yang Xiying and Xiaoxia with a keen interest.

"Ah...! Okay, this is my boyfriend, Yang Xiying, who is a Pokémon trainer from Yan Country.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia respectfully introduced Yang Xiying, and also introduced the person opposite to Yang Xiying.

"Yang, they are the staff members who were in charge of inspecting the dojos, and the red-haired lady is one of the Four Elite Four of the Kanto region."

"—Miss Kona."

"Hello, my name is Yang Xiying. If you find my name difficult to pronounce, you can call me Yang or Xiao Yang." Yang Xiying then stepped forward and clasped her hands in a fist salute.

"I was really rude to barge in just now because of my girlfriend's calls. I didn't expect it to be Ms. Lorelei, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto."

He had previously learned that Misty greatly admired Lorelei, and that her path to specializing in Water-type Pokémon was guided by Lorelei.

So it's only natural that the person on the other end would be surprised to see their idol.

"Ha, don't be so formal," Cona said, a charming smile playing on her lips. "Since you're Xia's boyfriend—"

"Then let's sit down and have some tea together. We're just chatting now, since it's not open yet."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Yang Xiying sat down next to Xiaoxia. He could sense that the girl was a little nervous, so he had to support her.

—Even not saying anything is fine.

Then there was a period of silence in the room, with only the sound of tea being brewed and drunk. I had a feeling that I could sit there until the opening of the Hua Lan Dojo.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yang, are you here in the Kanto region as a Pokémon Trainer from Yan Country, just for tourism?"

Kona could tell that Yang Xiying was only there to keep things going, and it didn't matter whether she spoke or not, but Yang was in a bit of an awkward position.

After all, the work content is routine, and there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it. But now, if the other party doesn't initiate conversation, I'll have to find something to talk about...

She was quite interested in the man who had suddenly barged in because of Xiaoxia.

P.S.: Two chapters combined into one update! Eight more chapters to go!

NO.165+166 and Xiaoxia's five-on-five match!

“Yes, I want to try challenging the Kanto Regional League,” Yang Xiying replied, there was no point in avoiding such a thing.

"So, Mr. Yang, you're going to challenge this year's Quartz Convention?" Connery raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask.

Challenging the Kanto Regional League means challenging the strongest trainers in the Kanto region, namely the Elite Four.

But before that, you have to participate in the Quartz Conference and get good results there to qualify to compete against the Elite Four.

"So how many gym badges have you collected by now?" To participate in the Indigo League, you naturally need to collect gym badges.

"To be honest, Miss Kona, I've only collected two badges so far, well, a gray badge and a blue badge."
