Pokémon: Master System.

Sylvia's stern attitude also frightened Carl and Eve, who stood there nervously with their heads down, like children who had made a mistake.

"Alright, Sylvia." Xia Yu looked at Sylvia and said softly, "Don't do it for me. I was just a little worried that they might get hurt. It's good that they're not hurt."

He knew that Sylvia's strictness was all for his sake; she was afraid he would get angry, so she scolded Xiao Yu first.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Sylvia blushed slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed. She smiled at Xia Yu, her voice soft, and gently pulled on his shoulders as if she were pouting: "I was afraid you would be angry."

Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Xiao Yu, Karl, and Eve the Super Trio.

Xiao Yu's superpower is the Power of Everlasting, which allows her to connect with Pokémon, share their vision, read their thoughts, accelerate her growth, and heal quickly, among other things.

The most unique ability of Viridian Power is that it can bind to a Pokémon and greatly improve its stats.

With the power of the Everlasting Rock, Xiao Yu is undoubtedly a born trainer.

Xia Yu had also been thinking about how to train Xiao Yu.

In Xia Yu's initial plan, he intended to cultivate Xiao Yu into the core player of the Rockets, or even his future successor.

However, Xia Yu has recently changed his mind.

Rather than training Xiao Yu to be the successor of the Rockets, Xia Yu would rather train Xiao Yu to be the champion of China, walking openly and honestly in the sunlight.

Moreover, in Xia Yu's plan, after the Rockets have integrated all the underground resources, they also need to find a way to clean up their act and go ashore.

Team Rocket cannot remain hidden in the shadows forever. They just need to wait for an opportunity to demonstrate their strength and cooperate with the Pokémon Association to successfully go public.

"Xiao Yu, I promised to give you a starter Pokémon." Xia Yu looked at Xiao Yu and said softly, "I will send you to school in a few days. If you do well, I will give you a Pokémon with excellent potential as your starter Pokémon."

"Really?" Xiao Yu's face first lit up with joy, but then she became dejected when she thought about studying. "But I don't want to study. I want to join Team Rocket! I want to be the big villain! I want to be Giovanni!"

"Xiao Yu." Xia Yu shook his head, looked at Xiao Yu, and coaxed him like a child: "You have to study hard before you can join Team Rocket. Go to school and become an excellent trainer, and then I'll let you join Team Rocket."

"Really?"

"Really." Xia Yu nodded, then said to Xiao Yu with a serious expression, "Also, when you're studying, you absolutely mustn't talk about Team Rocket with anyone, understand?"

“Hmm…” Xiao Yu nodded vigorously: “I know, Sister Sylvia told me about it.”

"Karl...Eve, come here." After speaking to Xiao Yu, Xia Yu waved to the two of them.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's voice, Carl and Eve cautiously approached him, their uneasy and timid demeanor causing Xia Yu to sigh inwardly.

Compared to Xiao Yu, Carl and Eve have even more pitiful backgrounds, and at the same time, they have greater potential.

However, figuring out where to settle the two people is also a major problem.

Chapter 557 Registration for the Hall Master Level 3 League

Both Carl and Eve are Pokémon-human hybrids.

This unique identity gives them not only superpowers such as communicating with Pokémon and sharing vision, but also the ability to use these superpowers in battle, making them true humanoid Pokémon.

In terms of potential, they are even higher than Xiao Yu.

The real problem is how to settle them. The two of them have been trapped in the laboratory year-round, completely out of touch with society, and lack essential life and social common sense.

It will take a considerable amount of time to change them.

"Are you two getting used to being here?" Xia Yu looked at the two of them, trying to soften her voice.

“Hmm.” Carl and Eve nodded slightly and responded in a low voice.

"You'll get used to it. If you need anything, you can tell me or Sylvia," Xia Yu said, looking at the two of them.

"Mm." The two of them remained timid and cowardly, bowing their heads in response.

Seeing the two of them like this, Xia Yu didn't say anything more and could only smile and say, "Alright, you two can stay here. Sylvia, let's go, we won't disturb them."

"Ah."

…………

After the two walked out of the cave, Xia Yu turned to Sylvia and said, "Give them all a cell phone or something, so they can learn more about the world. Also, try to take them out to see the world every week."

“Okay.” Sylvia noted down what Xia Yu said and nodded seriously: “Actually, Karl and Eve are both very smart and very serious about their work, they’re just a little shy. Also, you don’t usually have much contact with them, so they’re a little afraid of you.”

"You know I'm usually too busy," Xia Yu said helplessly. "Besides, I'm currently under surveillance by the Pokémon Association, so I can only meet with you guys in the lab. I'll try to contact them more when I have time. Speaking of which, is there any news from Jiang Yu and Suicune?"

"Shui Yutu said that the capital is heavily guarded now, and it is difficult for her to find an opportunity to meet with you privately."

"Jiang Yu's side is doing quite well. With Xie Shuen and Som's full cooperation, the Rockets have taken over the entire underground industry in Gold City. Last month's profits..."

After listening, Xia Yu nodded: "This period is a critical time, and it's only possible for you to contact them. Thank you for your hard work. Also, make sure the construction team that Jiang Yu contacted is ready. When I go to Goldenrod City next time, I need to turn Gigantamax Corviknight and Gigantamax Lapras into aerial and sea fortresses as quickly as possible."

"I'll remind him."

After dealing with the miscellaneous matters of the Rockets and the laboratory, Xia Yu was finally able to focus entirely on preparing for the Gym Leader Level 3 League.

Although he has absolute confidence in his abilities, he still has to go all out.

Upon returning home, Xia Yu immediately submitted an application to the Pokémon Association to participate in the Gym Leader Level 3 League.

Since we've been under the Pokémon Association's surveillance lately, this is a good opportunity to have a good Gym Leader League match and dominate the field!

…………

The Pokémon Association office building.

The staff member in charge of preparing for the 3rd-tier league for club owners sat in front of the computer, skillfully turned on the computer, and began to review the applications for participation in the 3rd-tier league for club owners submitted today.

“Xia Yu…”

"The champion of the College Cup...can directly skip participating in the Gym Leader N-level League and participate in the Gym Leader 3-level League..."

"Hmm?!" The staff member muttered Xia Yu's name, looking at the photo in the application, and felt that it looked vaguely familiar.

"Xia Yu...the champion of the High School Cup..."

"Um?!"

The staff member was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses.

Xia Yu?!

Is it really Xia Yu?! He really signed up for the Level 3 Professional League for Hall Masters?

"Director! Director!" The staff member was excited and immediately got up and ran towards Director Zhou's office, shouting loudly as he ran.

"What is it?" The office door opened, and the portly Director Zhou walked out.

"Director... Xia Yu has signed up!" the staff member said excitedly.

Hearing his words, the other staff members also turned their attention to him.

"Xia Yu has signed up?" Director Zhou remained relatively calm. Upon hearing the staff member's words, he immediately walked towards the staff member's workstation to verify the information: "I'll go check."

The staff member excitedly said, "It really is Xia Yu, the college cup champion is written on his resume."

Director Zhou walked to the staff member's computer, looked at the application photo and resume, confirmed that it was Xia Yuzhen who had applied, and then frowned thoughtfully. After a long while, he finally spoke: "When will the first Level 3 Arena Master competition start after the New Year? Check it out!"

"The sixteenth day of the first lunar month, a week from now," the staff member in charge of arranging the competition schedule replied.

"It's set for that day." Director Zhou then asked, "And the venue?"

"It's a dojo-level venue. It's not particularly large."

"Change it! Immediately change it to a Champion-level venue, the Rayquaza Arena in the north of the city." Director Zhou waved his hand and said directly, "That venue can accommodate the most spectators."

"Director... but there's a performance match by a Champion-level trainer at that venue that day," the staff member said in a low voice.

"Change the venue or postpone it," Director Zhou said directly. "Don't rush to change it. Wait until you call Xia Yu and confirm that he will participate before making any changes."

Director Zhou paced back and forth, his hands behind his back, frowning as he pondered: "Once Xia Yu is confirmed to participate, schedule the strongest players from the 3rd-level league for that day."

"Director... what if Xia Yu can't win..."

"Can't beat them?" Director Zhou glanced at the staff member who spoke: "Xia Yu can even beat Elite Four level trainers, how could he not beat these people?"

"Isn't it true that you can't use Mega Evolution? Maybe..."

Director Zhou frowned and said, "It would be better if we lost; the buzz might be even greater if we lost."

"Then remember to release a message to the media that Xia Yu will participate in the Hall Master Level 3 League."

"Ticket prices were also set at the highest tier."

"We also need to contact the TV station."

"Go quickly. The first thing to do is contact Xia Yu to find out which day he is available to participate in the competition, and have him come to take official photos, promotional photos, and promotional videos."

"Get moving, get moving!"

"If this matter is handled well, each person will receive five tickets."

…………

"beep."

Xia Yu frowned as she looked at the unfamiliar number on the phone.

"Hello. Is this Mr. Xia Yu?"
