Pokémon: Master System.

"Not at all..." Director Zhou quickly waved his hand and said modestly, "It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite. By the way, Xia, you're getting busier and busier these days. I noticed you don't have an assistant yet, how about I arrange one for you?"

Director Zhou looked at Xia Yu and advised, "At this stage, your most important task is to improve your strength. You'll need to find an assistant to help you with other matters."

"You're not particularly busy right now, but once you become the owner or a superstar, you'll have even more to do, so you should find an assistant sooner rather than later."

"If you can't find anyone right now, I can recommend someone to tide you over, just in case," Director Zhou said, looking at Xia Yu. "If you think she's alright, you can keep her working for you. If not, just fire her."

Hearing Director Zhou's words, Xia Yu smiled, waved his hand gently, and declined, saying, "You're too kind, Director Zhou. But I've already found an assistant."

"It's good that you've found someone." Director Zhou continued with a smile, showing no embarrassment at Xia Yu's rejection. "Come on, let's have a drink."

…………

After the banquet, Xia Yu returned home in the cold wind.

The assistant that Director Zhou mentioned is indeed something that needs to be put on the agenda, but where can we find a trustworthy and reliable assistant?

Let's not think about this for now.

As Xia Yu walked home, he returned each of his girlfriends' calls.

After Xia Yu finished making all his calls, a few minutes later, Sylvia called again: "Xia Yu! Come to the lab right away, your Rotom's elf egg is about to hatch."

"Okay!" Xia Yu received Sylvia's call and immediately took a taxi to the laboratory.

…………

laboratory.

Sylvia led Xia Yu to the incubation room. Inside the transparent incubator, Rotom's elf egg was gently shaking, clearly indicating that it would hatch in two or three hours at most.

Looking at the Poké Ball inside the incubator, Xia Yu stood aside, but his mind was on other things.

Rotom's potential is actually not high, only at the near-champion level, making it arguably the Pokémon with the worst potential among all his Pokémon.

Originally, he caught Pokémon just to collect all 18 types, but now that he already has Zekrom, Rotom is actually dispensable to him.

He doesn't actually have that much time to train new Pokémon right now.

Therefore, the best solution for this Rotom is actually to give it to someone else.

For example, Su Muzi or Zhao Ruohan.

Su Muzi is alright, as she has a series of Pokémon with high potential, but Zhao Ruohan's Pokémon generally have poor potential. The only one she has, a Tyranitar with Champion potential, was caught by Xia Yu.

Therefore, it seems the best place for this Rotom is to be given to Zhao Ruohan.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu picked up his phone and sent a message to Zhao Ruohan, asking her to come to the lab.

…………

Looking at the Pokémon eggs in the incubator, Xia Yu thought of another Pokémon egg, Duraludon.

Rotom is easy to deal with, but Aluminum Steel Dragon is very difficult to deal with.

First of all, this Aluminum Steel Dragon is of dubious origin. There are no wild Aluminum Steel Dragons in China. If I suddenly pulled out an Aluminum Steel Dragon, it would definitely arouse suspicion, absolutely arouse suspicion.

Especially now that he's under the watchful eye of the Pokémon Association.

Therefore, Aluminum Steel Dragon absolutely cannot appear in the open... So Aluminum Steel Dragon can only be used under the identity of Sakaki.

However, as Sakaki, he has always played in high-level matches, and only those with at least near-championship level skills have a chance to appear.

Therefore, it's uncertain when aluminum-steel ducts will be used.

But... there is a solution.

Xia Yu's eyes flashed. He had thought of a way to solve the problem of the origin of the aluminum steel dragon, but it would require some effort.

But then Xia Yu thought of another problem.

Even if we solve the problem of the origin of the aluminum steel dragon, there is still one problem to solve, which is that the aluminum steel dragon's qualification is somewhat low.

The talent level of a Heavenly King is completely insufficient.

However, Xia Yu currently has three items that can improve his aptitude.

One was the panacea that they had obtained long ago.

One is Czechoslovakia's Achilles' heel.

The last one is a golden crown.

…………

Chapter 611 Rotom and Zhao Ruohan

Xia Yu had not used the Panacea since he obtained it.

The main reason is that he already has enough Pokémon and hasn't found a suitable one yet.

As for Zekrom's Outrage, it can be used on the Dragon-type Pokémon Duraludon to improve its stats, but it's not cost-effective on Duraludon; it's better used on Electric-type Pokémon.

After all, Zekrom's Outrage can teach Electric-type Pokémon Cross Lightning and has a small chance of teaching Thunder Strike, making it the most suitable Pokémon to use.

Of course, it would be best to give it to Thunder Bird or Mega Ampharos, which are both Electric and Dragon types. Milton is also acceptable.

The final golden crown is Xia Yu's most precious item.

An item that can directly raise a Pokémon's potential to Master level.

Xia Yu couldn't imagine what heights he would have reached now if he had had such a tool from the beginning.

The Golden Crown is undoubtedly the most top-tier item, capable of propelling any Pokémon to the Master level in one step, and it's also the item Xia Yu is most reluctant to use.

Since obtaining the golden crown, Xia Yu has been hesitant about who should use it.

From the perspective of maximizing benefits, it would be most appropriate to give the golden crown to the unhatched aluminum steel dragon.

After all, Aluminum Steel Dragon only has the aptitude of Heavenly King, but with the addition of the Golden Crown, it can directly reach the Master level, which is equivalent to skipping two major levels.

However, from an emotional perspective, Xia Yu would prefer to give it to his two old subordinates, Charizard and Sceptile.

After all, of the three musketeers of the Champion Cup, Noivern has already reached the Master level, while Charizard and Sceptile are still at the Champion level.

Therefore, Xia Yu hesitated for a long time before deciding who should use the golden crown.

Humans are always so complex. When they lack strength, all they see is the desire for it. But once they have strength, they start talking about ideals and sentiments.

…………

Half an hour later, Sylvia received a call from the guardhouse, saying that a little girl was looking for Xia Yu.

"Let her in," Xia Yu said, then immediately added, "Never mind, Sylvia, please go and pick her up."

“Okay.” Sylvia nodded and walked downstairs.

…………

At the laboratory entrance, Zhao Ruohan, wearing a short down jacket and tight jeans, stood downstairs, her gaze fixed intently on the laboratory.

"Da da da."

Sylvia, wearing high heels, appeared in Zhao Ruohan's field of vision. Their eyes met, and they sized each other up.

Sylvia had long known that Xia Yu had several lovers.

For example, Xiao Wanyu when we first met, and Long Yanning, the legendary girlfriend of Boss Xia, but clearly the one who just arrived is not one of them.

A very pretty girl, radiating youthful energy, wore a thick, short down jacket in the winter, but her lower body was clad in tight jeans that accentuated her figure.

Her slender, straight, and long legs were on full display; she must have dressed up like this on purpose to see Xia Yu.

"Hello, Xia Yu asked me to pick you up." Sylvia swiped her card to open the door for Zhao Ruohan and led her into the laboratory.

While Sylvia was sizing up Zhao Ruohan, Zhao Ruohan was also secretly sizing up Sylvia.

Sylvia is beautiful, with a voluptuous and sexy figure, fair skin, and an exotic look with blonde hair and blue eyes that is captivating.

Zhao Ruohan was also secretly speculating about the relationship between the two.

"What's your name?" Sylvia asked Zhao Ruohan as they walked.

"Zhao Ruohan," Zhao Ruohan responded softly, then looked at Sylvia and asked, "And you?"

"Sylvia, how did you and Xia Yu meet?" Sylvia looked at Zhao Ruohan with curiosity.

“We were high school classmates, and now we’ve both gotten into the same university.” Zhao Ruohan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, “And you? How did you and Xia Yu meet?”

Sylvia smiled and said to Zhao Ruohan, "We met while working. Boss Xia's lab was hiring, and I applied. I'm his subordinate."

Hearing Sylvia's words, Zhao Ruohan nodded and continued chatting with her: "What...what position do you hold in the laboratory?"

…………

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the entrance of the incubation room and went inside together.

"Xia Yu." Zhao Ruohan looked at Xia Yu, her eyes shining brightly, and her feet unconsciously quickened as she jogged to Xia Yu's side.

If Sylvia hadn't been beside Xia Yu, she would have given him a warm hug.

Zhao Ruohan had her reservations, but Xia Yu had none. He gently hugged Zhao Ruohan and then whispered to her, "You're here? Is it cold outside?"

“It’s cold.” Zhao Ruohan nodded, then glanced furtively at Sylvia beside her and whispered, “The capital is colder than Starlight City. But the lab is quite warm; I’m even sweating.”

"Take off your coat," Xia Yu said with a smile.
