Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

Sure enough, when someone becomes famous, they can run into all sorts of random people. I'd like to see what your brilliant ideas are.

Someone actually thinks Patchlitz isn't cute? You'd better pray you're blind.

The netizen, whose username is "I will only love one person in my life," then commented:

"What's so cute about this effeminate Pokémon? Any man should love Gardevoir."

Hmm...that makes some sense.

“Jipa?”

Patchlitz looked up at Lu Yuan.

"Haha, of course you're prettier." Lu Yuan picked up Pachilis and turned his head away somewhat guiltily.

“Jippa~(/

/o/ω/o/

/)”

Patchlitz wagged his tail. "They're not that nice," he thought.

The statement "I will only love one person in my life" resonated with many male viewers in the live stream, who echoed his sentiments.

"Pachirisu is cute, that's true, but I still prefer Gardevoir a little more."

"Right, there's no man in the world who can resist Gardevoir."

"I really want to be trampled under its skirt and call it master. Why have I never been able to meet Ralts?"

"I want to lay eggs with Gardevoir, hehe."

"Something's not right with you."

"You don't want to?"

"I'm also... [shy]"

"Why can't humans lay eggs with Gardevoir?!"

Wow, the viewers in the live stream are really indiscriminate in their appetite, but speaking of laying eggs...

Lu Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

"I remember that Gardevoir can lay eggs with Grimer."

!!!

"Host, do you know what you're saying?!"

"You are not allowed to defile my goddess like this!"

"Slander! This is slander! Blatant slander!"

"Death penalty! Death penalty is a must!"

"Execute the death penalty immediately!"

"No, it must be done repeatedly!"

......

In an instant, the live stream was flooded with a barrage of slander and insults.

After all, Gardevoir is a celestial fairy, while Muk is a piece of dog poop from a latrine; it's almost impossible to associate the two together.

Lu Yuan, who claimed that they could lay eggs together, naturally became the target of public criticism.

"Actually, it's not just with Muk, it works with Koffing too," Lu Yuangang was about to add.

Your live stream has been reported by "一生只爱一人" and is currently suspended for 7 days.

"Huh?"

Chapter 14 Little Phoenix Cup

"If you want fame, that's easy to do."

After his live stream was reported by a despicable person, Lu Yuan's original plan to revitalize the dojo was forced to end before it even began.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. Our respected and helpful former Four Heavenly Kings, like a god descending to earth, gave Lu Yuan another suggestion.

"Little Phoenix Cup?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback.

The Ho-Oh Cup is a major tournament organized by the League, with a level of prestige comparable to the World Championship. However, this tournament is not open to everyone; strictly speaking, it is more like a Masters Tournament, with only invited top trainers eligible to participate.

As for the Little Phoenix Cup, I've never even heard of it.

"You don't know about the Little Phoenix Cup?" The old man was slightly surprised, but quickly realized what he meant.

"That makes sense. After all, you're a trainer who can defeat me. It's normal that you haven't heard of this Baby Cup."

The Little Phoenix Cup is also known as the Rookie Trainer Battle Tournament.

Unlike the Ho-Oh Cup, most of the participants are new trainers who have just obtained their starter Pokémon. The aim is to discover promising newcomers and give them a stage to shine.

Initially, the event was only held in the Kanto region, but as its fame grew, its influence gradually spread to other regions.

Today, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and other regions have followed suit.

It not only attracts a lot of attention, but also offers very generous prizes.

"Oh, how generous can it be?" Lu Yuan became interested after hearing this.

"Let me see." The old man took out his phone to check.

The prizes for the Little Phoenix Cup are different every year. For example, last year it was a year's worth of food, the year before that it was a Pokémon item, and the year before that it was...

Either of these methods can help newcomers quickly get through the beginner phase.

"I've got it! I've found it!" The old man found the information: "I didn't expect the prizes to be so generous this year."

The champion has three prizes.

The Soothing Bell is a melodious silver bell that belongs to the spirit item category. Spirits that carry it will be soothed, allowing them to feel at ease and calm down.

Not only that, it can also increase the bond between the Pokémon and its trainer.

It allows some Pokémon that evolve based on friendship level to evolve quickly.

The second prize is a shopping card with a value of up to 100,000, which can be used to get a 20% discount on any item purchased at the Pokémon Department Store.

The third prize is a Pokémon egg, said to originate from the distant Alola region.

Even the old man was a little envious after seeing the prizes: "Kids these days are so lucky. Even a newcomer's competition has such good prizes. Unlike our time, sigh..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at the old man with a question in his eyes, as if asking, "That's it? No way!"

He was just hoping for a prize, and this is what happened?

Given Lu Yuan's current financial situation, that shopping card is completely unnecessary.

As for Pokémon eggs, although they sound tempting, upon closer inspection, there are quite a few pitfalls.

The description doesn't specify which Pokémon the egg came from, meaning its personality, talents, appearance, and everything else are random and entirely determined by luck.

And luck is precisely what Lu Yuan lacks most.

The record of three consecutive misses with the water cannons can be verified.

After much thought, the only thing that seems somewhat useful is the Soothing Bell. At least it's a rare item, and if you put it on Chansey, it can evolve into Blissey.

"What do you mean 'that's all'?" The old man instinctively wanted to refute, but when he remembered the backyard he had just seen, he unconsciously swallowed.

This kid doesn't seem to lack these things at all.

"Never mind, if you want to participate, you'd better hurry up, the competition officially starts tomorrow."

"I understand," Lu Yuan said. "I will participate."

Anyway, we can't find any other way, so let's try it as a last resort. Besides, the idea of ​​making a baby cup sounds quite interesting.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "Wait! The competition starts tomorrow? Then I'll sign up for an egg!"

"Hey, young people are so impatient. So what? I was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, so I still have some connections."

“I have a friend in the organizers this time. I can talk to him and ask him to pull some strings behind the scenes. It won’t be a problem to sneak someone in.”

The old man said proudly.

"That's good." Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Who said this old man was useless? He's quite useful, isn't he?

Then, as if remembering something important, the old man reminded him, "Oh right, when you participate in the competition tomorrow, remember not to reveal that you are the gym leader."

"Huh? Why is that?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

Faced with Lu Yuan's question, the old man simply waved his hand and said earnestly, "Don't ask so many questions. In short, I'm doing this for your own good."

If others found out that you, a dojo master, were participating in a rookie tournament, that would be terrible.

But he didn't say this to Lu Yuan, believing that Lu Yuan himself knew what he was doing.
