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

It is equipped with state-of-the-art protective devices, and its load-bearing capacity is comparable to the World Championship level, so no matter how much you handle it, nothing will happen.

After boarding the ship, Lu Yuan handed his luggage to the waiter who came to greet him, and then followed the signs to reach the VIP suite on the 18th floor.

Upon entering the room, you are greeted by a space of over 100 square meters with a three-meter high ceiling, and it also comes with a small balcony and two armchairs.

Lu Yuan glanced at the room, exhaled, and released his Pokémon.

Chansey, Pachirisu, Gastly, and Litten—Lu Yuan only brought these four with him on this trip.

"Meow~"

Faced with the unfamiliar environment, the Firefly seemed somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, Chansey was there, and it imitated the way mothers on TV held Litsea in its arms to comfort it.

In contrast, Patchlitz had no such concerns and took over the entire bed without saying a word.

Gastly, on the other hand, has been behaving rather strangely lately, causing him significantly less trouble.

It was hiding in a dark corner, taking a red dictionary out of its mouth and flipping through it.

That's right, Gastly is learning to read!

At first, Lu Yuan was also a little shocked, but it was a good thing that the elf could cultivate its own interests, so he did not go up to disturb it.

I had just lain down for a short while when there was a knock on the door.

When the door opened, it turned out to be Qiao Yixue and Xiao Lan, who were in the room next to Lu Yuan's.

Qiao Yixue, holding a promotional poster, exclaimed, "Lu Yuan, let's go participate in this!"

A fishing competition?

The poster features a gorgeous mermaid raising her fishing rod to catch Milotic.

Fishing competitions seem to be a very common event in the world of elves.

It will be held in every region.

Lu Yuan didn't think it was a big deal; when you're out having fun, the most important thing is to be happy.

The fishing convention will be held tomorrow, and the cruise ship will dock in a sea area near the Landier region.

Landier region?

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

It was only after Xiao Lan reminded me that I remembered that Landier is an undeveloped archipelago.

It is also the stage for Pokémon Snap's adventures.

Besides the nine main regions, the world of Pokémon also has many undeveloped areas, such as Landier and Orei.

The Landier region is a sacred place for many researchers, having been closed off for many years, strictly prohibiting foreign trainers from entering the island to catch Pokémon.

It is said that there is a special neon phenomenon there that can make Pokémon reflect light.

However, I heard that the auction was quite boring, and Lu Yuan didn't buy any at that time, so he didn't know much about it.

The three of them went to the registration desk on the deck to sign up.

Joey, who works at the front desk, happens to be Xiaoxue's cousin, so things went surprisingly smoothly.

This is also one of the advantages of taking Joey Xue with you when you go out; you can find relatives anywhere.

So, how many people are actually in the Joey family?

With that in mind, Lu Yuan accompanied Xiao Lan and Xiao Xue to explore the various facilities on the Saint-Tianu.

I visited five stores in the mall before finally arriving at a stall in the rest area that was packed with people.

"Let me tell you, this Magikarp produces gold!"

"Moreover, their reproductive capacity is extremely strong. They can produce a thousand golden eggs at a time, and then a thousand Magikarp will produce another thousand golden eggs. Before long, you will become billionaires!"

Lu Yuan: ......

I was wondering why the lines sounded so familiar; it turns out they're from your Magikarp uncle.

Having tricked Kojiro countless times, this time they're not even planning to change their lines.

Surely no fool would buy it, right?

At this moment, Uncle Magikarp clapped up the paper fan in his hand and said:

"The usual selling price is 10,000 yuan, but this Magikarp, including the spawning equipment, breeding equipment, and training equipment, is 30,000 yuan in total! First come, first served!"

"I want it! I want it!" A well-dressed young master from a wealthy family raised his hand in front of the stall.

The butler behind him was exasperated, but still paid the bill under the young master's urging.

Lu Yuan: ......

There are actually people buying them?

Even if you gave this Magikarp away for free at the market, nobody would want it, since not all Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados.

Blue's eyes lit up as she watched the Magikarp man. She thought she was already ruthless enough as a merchant, but she never expected there was always someone even more cunning.

I'll do that next time too!

The kind-hearted Lu Yuan couldn't stand this kind of thing, so he immediately called Miss Officer Jenny on the ship and told her that someone on board was committing fraud.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to put his phone away.

suddenly.

A commotion arose in the distance.

"Give me back my Pokémon!"

???

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, someone dared to steal a Pokémon in public! Doesn't he have any respect for the League's constitution?

Lu Yuan squeezed through the crowd and quickly spotted the two arguing people.

One of them was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with dyed yellow hair, looking like a good-for-nothing hoodlum in school.

The other one looked much younger, perhaps only eight or nine years old, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses, like a bookworm in school.

The two wrestled, pulling at each other's clothes, neither willing to give in.

It gave Lu Yuan a feeling of returning to his junior high school days.

"You're so annoying. It's just a game, why are you such a sore loser?" the thug said impatiently.

"I never said I would use Pokémon as a wager, you just took it from me!" the bespectacled boy retorted without backing down.

Good guy.

Such a thing is unbelievable.

At this moment, Joyce also came over. Being well-educated, she naturally couldn't stand the act of stealing other people's Pokémon and immediately wanted to help.

Just then, Junsha, whom Lu Yuan had just called, also arrived.

Lu Yuan felt that getting the fool's money back was less urgent than dealing with the situation here.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Finally, with Officer Jenny's help, the bespectacled boy successfully retrieved his Pokémon, and the thug was taught a lesson and invited for tea.

It's true that some places do have the practice of betting on Pokémon, but the fact that this bad habit hasn't been banned is truly disgusting.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to go eat, someone called out to him from behind.

"Big brother, thank you for your help just now."

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw it was that bespectacled kid from before.

"I asked Miss Officer Jenny, and she said it was you who helped call the police," the bespectacled kid said again, expressing his gratitude.

This time, Lu Yuan saw his face clearly: glasses, green clothes, a little devil...

"May I have your name?"

“My name is Max, and I’m from the Hoenn region,” Max replied naturally.

666

You can run into the original main characters just by stepping out the door.

"So your father lives nearby?" Lu Yuan pressed.

If Qianli were here, King Jia's million-ton punch would have already landed on that thug's face!

"Um... I'm on a trip, and my dad isn't with me," Xiao Sheng said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Travel, how old are you?" Lu Yuan asked incredulously.

Looking at Xiaosheng, he hasn't grown at all; he still looks like a child.

"I'm nine years old, but I'm ten years old by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, so I'm already an adult."
