Pokémon: Master System.

Therefore, before enrolling in university, Xia Yu set a small goal for himself: to become the Dragon-type Gym Leader of the capital city before graduating from university, relying solely on his own team of Pokémon, without relying on the strength of those older brothers!

Being a Dragon-type Gym Leader, especially one from the capital city, makes the task incredibly difficult.

But as the saying goes, the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation. How can you know your potential if you don't push yourself?

Moreover, Xia Yu is not without a chance. His team of Pokémon are all formidable warriors: Noivern, Sceptile, Charizard, and in the future, Dragapult, Haxorus, and Salamence.

As long as these six Pokémon grow up normally, and with Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, Xia Yu believes he still has a great chance of becoming a Dragon-type Gym Leader during his university years.

After all, Z-Moves and Mega Evolution are not banned in Gym Leader Rankings.

It's time to show everyone the power of money.

…………

Upon arriving in the capital, Xia Yu immediately went to the Dragon-type Secret Realm to visit his master Long Fan and Long Yan Ning.

"Master, Senior Sister Yan Ning."

Xia Yu greeted Long Fan and Long Yanning warmly. It had been a while since they last met; Long Yanning seemed to have gained a little weight, but was still very thin.

Looking at Xia Yu, Long Yan Ning had a bright smile on her face, her eyes fixed on him.

"Sit down." Long Fan looked at Xia Yu, gesturing for him to sit on the sofa. "I heard you've been staying in the Water Element Secret Realm in Shanghai lately. What have you been busy with? Also, where did you get that giant Roaring Beast that I entrusted to you a while ago? And what's the deal with that Secret Realm Rift in Yazhou?"

Long Fan crossed his legs and looked at Xia Yu, his gaze fixed on Xia Yu. He bombarded Xia Yu with a series of questions, making Xia Yu break out in a cold sweat.

More than a month ago, Xia Yu made a special call to Long Fan and told him not to get involved in the Yazhou Secret Realm.

Long Fan immediately sensed that there was definitely a problem, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Sure enough, just a few days later, a large amount of ice appeared off the coast of Yazhou City, and the secret realm was confirmed to be a narrow rift. Upon seeing this news, Long Fan was certain that the matter of the narrow rift was definitely related to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu hesitated slightly upon hearing Long Fan's words, and was considering how to speak when Long Fan's voice rang out again.

Long Fan seemed to see Xia Yu's hesitation, smiled, and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask about these things. Just remember, no matter what, you must not do anything to betray China."

“Master…the matter in Yazhou is related to my new experiment.” Although Long Fan said he didn’t care, Xia Yu still decided to reveal some inside information to avoid leaving any rifts in their hearts: “Even if you don’t ask, I still have to tell you that Senior Sister Yan Ning is also involved.”

"Forget it, you don't need to tell me." Long Fan waved his hand. He really didn't have the energy to deal with these things right now. He was just worried that Xia Yu would go astray.

Of course, if Long Fan knew the power of permanently enhanced Gigantamax Pokémon, he definitely wouldn't have this attitude. Long Fan paused for a moment, then said, "I also have something to tell you this time."

"What is it?" Xia Yu asked, seeing Long Fan's serious expression.

"I have submitted an application to the Pokémon Association to step down from my position as one of the Elite Four in North China and move to another region to serve as one of the Elite Four. The Pokémon Association has agreed, and I will probably be leaving the Dragon-type Secret Realm soon. Your senior sister has also left the Dragon-type Secret Realm and is going to work at Imperial University."

After hearing Long Fan's words, Xia Yu immediately realized that his master was planning to go to other regions to compete for the championship.

Because of Duan Hongzhi, an unparalleled genius, no one in North China can challenge his championship position. This means that the four kings of North China who want to compete for the championship must go to other regions.

At such a sensitive time, Long Fan, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, was transferred to other regions, which was clearly in order to compete for the championship.

Xia Yu immediately began to think about the seven regions of the country: Northwest, Southwest, North China, South China, Central China, East China, and Northeast.

Among them, North China sent its first team. Lü Tinghe, the champion from the Southwest region, and his master were very close friends. His master would never go to the Southwest region to compete with Lü Tinghe for the championship.

Next, the South China region can also be ruled out. The three consecutive champions in the South China region were all from the Su family. The Su family's strength is unfathomable, so they can also be ruled out.

The Northwest region is too remote, and Master has made it clear that he will never go there.

So it seems that Master can only go to three regions: Northeast China, Central China, and East China.

To become the champion, one must defeat all four other Heavenly Kings.

In Northeast China, there's the Ice-type Elite Four member Chu Qishuang, and in East China, there's the Fairy-type Elite Four member Xiao Wanyu. Ice and Fairy types have always been the mortal enemies of Dragon types, and these two Elite Four members are undoubtedly the biggest obstacles for Long Fan to become the champion, especially Xiao Wanyu, whose Mega Gardevoir is a complete Dragon-type killer.

It's worth noting that Kona played a part in Watari's failure to become a champion back then.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Master will most likely go to the Central China region.

…………

"Congratulations, Master. Which region are you going to compete for the championship?" Xia Yu asked.

"The Pokémon Association gave me several options, but I personally prefer to go to the Central China region," Long Fan said.

Knew it.

However, Xia Yu suddenly had a thought. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Long Fan was more suitable to go to East China.

Although Xiao Wanyu, the Fairy King, is in East China, she's one of our own!

…………

Chapter 359 Wu Yaozu's Phone Call

“Master,” Xia Yu’s voice rang out, “Actually, I suggest you go to East China.”

East China region?

Long Fan frowned slightly upon hearing Xia Yu's words. Wasn't there a fairy-like Xiao Wanyu in East China?

Seeing Long Fan's surprised expression, Xia Yu continued, "Master, I know that there is a Fairy-type Heavenly King named Xiao Wanyu in East China, but Xiao Wanyu is in a cooperative relationship with us. I will help persuade her, and she will not stop you from becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

"Oh?" Long Fan looked at Xia Yu in surprise: "How confident are you?"

"About 70%..." Xia Yu gave a conservative estimate: "Master, when do you need to confirm which region we're going to?"

“This week ago,” Long Fan said.

"How about we arrange a meeting with King Xiao? You can talk face-to-face," Xia Yu suggested.

"can."

…………

After that, Xia Yu and Long Fan talked for more than ten minutes before Xia Yu left Long Fan's office, accompanied by Long Yan Ning.

As the two walked through the Dragon-type Secret Realm, it felt as if they had returned to the days of intensive training.

"Senior Sister Yan Ning," Xia Yu said as he walked.

"Ok?"

"There's something I want to tell you."

"Just tell me."

"About the gap in the Yazhou Secret Realm..." Xia Yu turned to look at Long Yanning, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke about the Gigantamax Pokémon and the gap in the Secret Realm.

Long Yanning has always been one of the people he trusts the most. If his super giant legion needs to recruit people, Long Yanning will undoubtedly have a place.

After hearing Xia Yu's description, Long Yan Ning frowned, her beautiful face filled with surprise: "Gigantamax Pokémon? You mean you caught a Lapras that's tens of meters tall?"

"Yes." Xia Yu nodded in response, "That's right. Besides this permanently Gigantamax Lapras, there are seventeen other permanently Gigantamax Pokémon in the world."

“My current plan is to establish a secret organization to capture all the remaining seventeen permanently Gigantamax Pokémon. Currently, the only members are Xiao Tianwang and me.” Xia Yu paused slightly before continuing, “Senior Sister Yan Ning, because of this new experiment involving Gigantamax, I don’t trust anyone else. Only you, you should know, are the person I trust the most.”

Upon hearing Xia Yu's blunt words, Long Yan Ning's face flushed red, and she turned her head away, ignoring Xia Yu.

"So Yan Ning, you can't refuse me." Xia Yu said, while reaching out to take Long Yan Ning's hand: "I haven't even told my brother or my parents yet."

Seeing Xia Yu's increasingly audacious actions, Long Yanning could only turn her head, blushing, and glare at Xia Yu: "You've said so much, but didn't King Xiao know this before me? He was one step ahead of me."

“It’s different.” Xia Yu explained nervously, “I need her to help me capture Gigantamax Lapras, that’s why she knew before you did, it’s different.”

"Why are you so nervous?" Seeing Xia Yu's somewhat excessive reaction, Long Yan Ning frowned and looked at Xia Yu with suspicion: "Okay, I promise you. By the way, I'm actually very curious, how did you convince Xiao Tianwang to help you capture Gigantamax Lapras?"

“I don’t really like Xiao Tianwang. She’s too smart. You said you didn’t like Xiao Tianwang before, didn’t you?”

Long Yan Ningyue said that Xia Yu's forehead was also covered in cold sweat.

“Yan Ning…” Xia Yu carefully chose his words and cautiously began to speak, “I think we misunderstood King Xiao before.”

"Oh?" Long Yanning asked in confusion.

“Xiao Tianwang is very shrewd. It feels like nothing can escape her calculations, but that applies to outsiders.” Xia Yu whispered in defense of Xiao Wanyu, “Actually, after getting to know her better, I found that her scheming is directed at other people. She’s actually quite good to her friends.”

"Really?" Long Yanning asked with a doubtful look. "When did you become friends with King Xiao?"

"We can't just cooperate like this. Practice makes perfect." For some reason, Xia Yu felt that the more he explained, the worse it got.

…………

After having a simple dinner, Xia Yu and Long Yanning went back to her apartment in the secret realm, while Xia Yu went to the Purple Mountain Villa.

Not long ago, Liu Yunxuan called him to say that the villa had been renovated and that she had also furnished it with all the appliances and furniture. Now Xia Yu only needed to move in with his bags.

Tonight was a good opportunity to take a look. Arriving at Zishan Villa by taxi, Xia Yu stood outside the villa, looking at its drastically changed appearance, her feelings a mix of emotions.

This is rented from Xiao Wanyu. When I have money, I will definitely buy it.

Xia Yu kept reassuring herself.

Stepping into the villa, an aura of wealth immediately hits you; the oil paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls are all works of great masters.

"Beauty Emerging from the Bath - The world's number one Tutu dog, Gold Medal winner Glenn".

"Rayquaza's Wrath - The World's Number One Smite, Gold Medal Winner, Glenn".

…………

Glenn? What the hell?

Xia Yu opened her phone and searched, only to find that Glenn was actually the name of a Tutu dog. This Tutu dog was also a world-renowned painter, and every painting it created could be called a work of art, and of course, the price was extremely high.
