Pokémon: Master System.

"What kind of person?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask.

"I won't tell you." Long Yan Ning replied with a playful smile, "What about you? You tell me first, and then I'll tell you."

"Me?" Xia Yu frowned slightly, lost in thought. In fact, he hadn't really thought about this question: "I haven't thought that much about it. I'm only eighteen years old now."

"You didn't think this much at eighteen? Then what kind of girlfriend do you want to find? You must have thought about that, right?" Long Yanning kept pressing for answers.

"I've thought about it," Xia Yu admitted.

"Then tell me, what kind of girlfriend are you planning to find?" Long Yan Ning's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"You want to know?"

"of course."

“Okay,” Xia Yu replied, “Actually, my requirements are very low.”

"I'll find a beautiful, wealthy woman, with welfare benefits, social security and housing fund, elegant in public and skilled in the kitchen. As beautiful as a peach blossom, as aloof as ice. A noblewoman by day, and a..."

"Stop, stop." Seeing that Xia Yu's words were becoming increasingly unreliable, Long Yanning quickly interrupted him: "Why are you always joking? What kind of girlfriend do you really want to find?"

Xia Yu turned her head and met Teacher Long's bright eyes. Under the moonlight, Teacher Long was so beautiful.

Perhaps it was because the two of them were wearing masks, or perhaps it was because they were in a crowd, but Xia Yu became a little bolder.

"I just want to find a girlfriend like you." Xia Yu reached out and grasped Teacher Long's slender hand, which was soft and cool.

Long Yanning was also startled by Xia Yu's actions. She tried to break free of her hand, but Xia Yu held it firmly. So she simply let Xia Yu hold her hand like that.

The two walked silently down the street, not uttering a word, but their hearts were pounding and their palms were getting warmer and warmer. After a while, Xia Yu continued, "I'm done talking. It's your turn, Teacher Long. What kind of boyfriend are you looking for?"

"Me..."

…………

At that moment, in the hotel right next to the two of them, Chi Hanqing was having a gathering with his colleagues.

"Han Qing, let me toast you. You kept us all in the dark, hiding such a large-scale experimental project as Mega Evolution from us. If we hadn't seen your name as the second author on the paper, we wouldn't have known you were involved in such a large-scale experimental project."

"Yes, Han Qing. When did you participate in the Mega Evolution Experiment Project? By the way, you met Xia Yu in person. What did you think? I saw photos and videos of him online. He's very handsome. Is he as handsome in person as he is online?"

"We should congratulate Han Qing on participating in such a big project. She might become the youngest dean in our college. Why can't I participate in such experimental projects?"

…………

"Thank you everyone. This is because the experimental project needs to be kept secret from you. I'd like to propose a toast to you all."

Faced with everyone's compliments, Chi Hanqing boldly picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

A week ago, she participated in writing Xia Yu's paper on Mega Evolution. Although she was only responsible for writing the paper, she still got the title of co-author, which will be of great help to her future development.

Through her interactions with Xia Yu over the past week, she discovered that Xia Yu is truly a genius. She couldn't understand why an eighteen-year-old's mind was filled with such genius evolution.

From Z-Move Dance to exclusive Z-Moves, and now Mega Evolution, each one is groundbreaking.

This afternoon, Grandpa also called and told her that Xia Yu seemed to have a new experimental project and needed to recruit two experimental assistants.

The competition for these two experimental assistant positions within the Pokémon Association was extremely fierce, with almost every champion personally participating. This meant that even if her grandfather intervened, success was not guaranteed.

Therefore, Elder Chi also instructed her to make some preparations in advance, to contact Xia Yu more often, and to try to secure one of the assistant positions.

Just as Chi Hanqing was thinking about this, she suddenly saw a couple walking hand in hand outside the window.

Even though the two were wearing masks, Chi Hanqing recognized Long Yanning at a glance because they had been best friends for over ten years. This instantly sobered her up, and she stood up with a "whoosh".

Great! No wonder she felt Yan Ning had been acting strange lately; it turns out she's in a relationship!

The gossip fire in Chi Hanqing's heart suddenly burned fiercely like a raging inferno.

"Ahem, I'm going to the restroom. You guys continue eating."

Chi Hanqing made an excuse and secretly slipped out, chasing after the two of them.

She was going to see which scoundrel had managed to snag Long Yan Ning, making her repeatedly refuse his invitations for drinks.

Go to hell, you filthy man!

Chapter 280 Battle Frontier

Neon lights flashed as Xia Yu and Long Yanning strolled hand in hand down the brightly lit street, looking just like a couple.

Xia Yu was enjoying this moment of peace and warmth. Since preparing for the College Cup, he had rarely had such a leisurely time.

As dusk fell, the streets began to bustle with activity. Bars, nightclubs, and other similar establishments opened for business, and groups of stylishly dressed young people appeared on the streets.

Among them were some high-tech beauties and international friends, and Xia Yu was also full of curiosity about places like bars and nightclubs.

As a virtuous person, Xia Yu has lived two lives and has never been to a bar or nightclub.

"Teacher Long, have you ever been to bars or nightclubs?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask.

“I’ve never been there.” Long Yanning shook her head. Her life was actually very monotonous. Her only hobbies were drinking and shopping.

She only drinks with her best friend Chi Hanqing and has never been to a bar or nightclub.

Thinking of Chi Hanqing, Long Yanning suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Chi Hanqing had invited her for drinks many times, but she had politely declined each time. Yet today, he came here to drink and eat with Xia Yu.

“I’ve never been either,” Xia Yu suggested. “Actually, sometimes I really want to give it a try.”

"Forget it." Long Yanning shook her head. She really wasn't interested in bars and nightclubs. "How about we go for a walk on the street, or see a movie?"

Hearing Long Yanning's suggestion, Xia Yu was also somewhat tempted. Thinking of movies, Xia Yu suddenly realized that the movies in this world were very different from those in his previous life.

Like many classic movies, this one doesn't exist in the world. For some reason, Xia Yu suddenly thought of the movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

How about we let our older brother play the lead role in this movie?

…………

"Hey, hey."

Just as Xia Yu's thoughts were wandering, Long Yan Ning reached out and waved her hand in front of Xia Yu's eyes, interrupting his train of thought.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

"It's nothing," Xia Yu replied with a smile. "What do you think about me investing in and making a movie?"

"Make a movie?" Long Yan Ning was shocked by Xia Yu's wildly imaginative idea.

"Of course." Xia Yu thought it over and over and it seemed more and more feasible. The first movie would be about his older brother, called "Charlotte's Trouble." Later, when he was stronger, he could make another movie called "Cocoon of Destruction and Diancie." He wouldn't study Pokémon in college; he would become a director and an artist: "Actually, it's really possible. I've already thought of the plot for the first movie."

…………

As the two were talking, a commotion suddenly arose in the crowd. Xia Yu and Long Yanning looked up and saw that the crowd was surging in a certain direction.

"What's going on?" The sudden change left the two of them somewhat bewildered.

"I don't know, let's go take a look." Xia Yu was also a little curious.

The two exchanged a glance, then held hands and walked forward with the flow of people.

After walking for a few minutes, the two arrived at the plaza and discovered that the crowd was heading towards a battle zone.

A crowd had gathered in front of the battle zone, discussing the matter animatedly.

"The Chosen Ones Frontier Zone really went all out today; the rewards are incredibly generous."

"With such a big fuss, it can't be a lie."

"However, this activity is quite difficult."

…………

Hearing that it was an event being held in the development zone, Xia Yu and Long Yanning squeezed into the crowd.

"Dear friends, today is the grand opening of the Imperial Capital Chosen Battle Frontier Zone with special offers."

"To thank our new and existing customers, we have prepared a special grand prize."

"By participating in today's event, you will have a chance to win a prize and a grand prize."

"Prizes include cash vouchers, top-tier starter Pokémon, and even Dragon-type Pokémon!"

…………

The host on stage was enthusiastically promoting the Pokémon, but Xia Yu wasn't very interested. He already had enough Pokémon with excellent qualities and great potential, and he didn't care about ordinary Pokémon.

As for Dragon-type Pokémon, others might find them rare, but Xia Yu genuinely doesn't want any more. Unless it's a legendary or pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Xia Yu really doesn't want any other Dragon-type Pokémon.

However, Xia Yu's lack of interest did not mean that Long Yanning was not interested. As soon as she heard about Dragon-type Pokémon, her eyes lit up and she moved closer.

"Shall we go take a look?"

“Okay.” Xia Yu naturally wouldn’t spoil Long Yan Ning’s fun. Since it was a date, she could do whatever she liked.

The Battle Frontier is one of the special buildings in the Pokémon world. As the name suggests, the main purpose of the Battle Frontier is to provide a place for trainers to battle, and the strongest trainer is called the Frontier Leader.

Battle Frontiers and Gyms have many similarities. The only difference is that Battle Frontiers are private enterprises, while Gyms are official organizations.

Although it is a private enterprise, the Battle Frontier is actually more popular than the Gym, thanks to the operation of capital. The trainers who can serve as the leaders of the Frontier are also very powerful.

In addition to battling, the Battle Frontier also offers services such as helping trainers raise Pokémon, hatching eggs, and selling starter Pokémon.

In short, as long as you have money, you can enjoy all kinds of services in the Battle Frontier.
