I, the first trainer of the new world

Inside the restaurant's private room outside the dojo, Zeng Sheng sat quietly in a chair like a well-behaved child, his hands on his lap, head down, saying nothing.

Serena-like Chizuru sat on the other side, eating her meal while watching this guy: "Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you usually so talkative?"

Zeng Sheng shook his head repeatedly: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

"I think you're not afraid, you're just willing to say anything." Qianlin glanced at the guy.

Because of this guy's loose tongue, his battle with Jinlai ended halfway through, and he didn't even get to see what Jinlai's second Pokémon was.

He had already realized that Jinlai himself was not as arrogant as Liu Ruyan and Leiyan, but he was a little happier along the way. Putting everything else aside, Jinlai's moveset for Litten was clearly designed, and his backup Pokémon was definitely an offensive Pokémon.

He was originally looking forward to seeing what methods Jinlai would use to try to break through the Great Electric Sea Swallow, but because of this guy's loose tongue, Jinlai discovered his identity.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal that his identity was discovered; the main problem was that his test was interrupted, which was really annoying.

This guy's emotional intelligence is clearly inferior to Zheng Yaqian's, and he's also more straightforward. When he fought Liu Ruyan in the first match, Zheng Yaqian also noticed him, but she didn't say anything because she wasn't sure why he was there. Maybe he was there to test the gym leaders.

Therefore, Zheng Yaqian wisely kept quiet, allowing Qianlin to have a complete fight with Liu Ruyan.

Lei Yan discovered it himself, so Qian Lin didn't say much, but he couldn't stand Zeng Sheng.

Zheng noticed Qianlin but remained silent, actually wanting to see Liu Ruyan get beaten up. Yaqian, standing nearby, fanned a gust of wind and lit a ghost fire: "Why don't we arrange for him to go back and take an assessment? If he doesn't pass the assessment, he won't be allowed to become the Heavenly King."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Sheng could no longer pretend and stared at Zheng Yaqian in utter shock: "No, is it really that serious?"

He only said one extra word, isn't this punishment too harsh?

Liu Ruyan: “…”

Cover your mouth so you can't cry.

She swore that if she ever looked down on anyone again, she would be a dog!

Facing Liu Ruyan...

"Wait a minute." Yi Ke, clutching her trainer belt, stared blankly at Zeng Sheng. "Weren't you with Du Juan?"

Qianlin was also taken aback, then looked at Zeng Sheng in surprise: "That's right, weren't you still at Du Juan's this morning? I had Shilabi pick you up."

Zeng Sheng scratched his head: "Du Juan is a bit strange. I feel like she's going to eat me. To prevent her from actually being eaten, I brought her to Alola. As soon as I got to the hotel, I saw Emperor Ruyan being pinned to the ground and beaten by you. Then, not long after, I saw Lei Yan's battle video. So I thought you might be at the Touring Gym, and then I went to Jinlai's place to wait for you. But you arrived just over ten minutes later."

Yi Ke suddenly realized.

"No wonder you guessed it was me right away." Qianlin nodded. "How did you get here? So fast?"

He and Xiao Yi came here on a Giratina. Coming from the Reverse World is definitely faster than coming from the real world. It's only been a little over three hours since they arrived at Oak's Lab in Alola. Zeng Sheng probably only stayed with Du Juan for less than an hour before rushing here.

“I had Kyurem fly me here,” Zeng Sheng said straightforwardly. “Du Juan is still at the hotel. I suspect she has ulterior motives towards me. If I don’t hurry, I’ll be eaten up. I can’t hold her down; she’s much stronger than me.”

After all, he is a Gym Leader in the Pokémon world, and his physical abilities far surpass those of people from Yanxia... Is that the point?

Qianlin, Yike, Zheng Yaqian, and Liu Ruyan were all speechless.

Should we doubt that she has ulterior motives towards you?

Zeng Sheng scratched his head sheepishly: "That's why I rushed over to ask for help. I thought about it, and all the gym trainees are single. The three official gym leaders are a rich second-generation, a socially awkward college student, and a minor. The Elite Four member Fu Xing has already completed the entire course and is being forced to try to open up an inhuman path. Lin Wen, that iron-willed guy, even Xiao Zhao, this volcano, hates him to the core. You're the only one I can ask for help from."

"No, what do you mean by 'single dog'!" Liu Ruyan shouted angrily, "I'm called 'strategist who doesn't fall in love'!"

Zeng Sheng looked at Liu Ruyan with great pity.

Liu Ruyan's face darkened, and she clenched her fists: "If I weren't outmatched by you, I would definitely have a fight with you."

Zheng Yaqian rolled her eyes at the two of them: "I'm really curious what you two went through in the main world of Yilin to become husband and wife."

In Yilin's main world, Zeng Sheng and Liu Ruyan were a couple. When Qianlin first transmigrated there, their wedding had just ended not long ago. According to Yilin, they had been together for two years and had known each other for four years in Yilin's main world.

If you do the math, the timeline of Irene's main world is about six years later than the timeline of this world. In other words, these two people met in the second or third year after Pokémon arrived.

Upon hearing Zheng Yaqian's words, Zeng Sheng and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, then simultaneously made expressions of toothache.

Zeng Sheng had to admit that he did indeed like goddesses like Liu Ruyan. After all, she was known as the "Empress Ruyan," and her looks and figure were quite impressive. Zeng Sheng was also a game booster, which, to put it nicely, was a shut-in, and to put it bluntly, a deadbeat who rarely went out. Liu Ruyan's charm was definitely not low for him.

Liu Ruyan also had to admit that although Zeng Sheng seemed unreliable, he was actually the type of person she could rely on when things got tough. Besides, he wasn't bad-looking either. Liu Ruyan wasn't a real scumbag, and it was very possible that she and Zeng Sheng would develop feelings for each other after spending a long time together and she would accept his confession. In addition, given Zeng Sheng's status as a superstar, she had no reason to refuse his marriage proposal from any angle.

So when Yilin and the other person in the main world became husband and wife, it surprised Qianlin, Yike, Zheng Yaqian, Fu Xing, Lin Wen, Manager Che, Wei Nan, and everyone else. But the two of them themselves... completely understood.

“But I don’t like you in this world.” Liu Ruyan sighed and rubbed her forehead. “Fine… I admit it. You’re right, I’m a single dog.”

Zeng Sheng clicked his tongue in amazement: "The thought that my wife from another world is my subordinate in this world is amazing. It truly lives up to its name as a multiverse."

Qian Lin: "..."

Yi Ke: "..."

Zheng Yaqian: "..."

At least in this world, these two could never be together.

Faced with the speechless looks from the three, Zeng Sheng directly chose Zheng Yaqian, the only one whose status was the same as his own, and pointed at her nose, saying, "You're talking about me and Emperor Ruyan, but weren't you paired with Lin Wen in the Yilin Main World?"

“That’s right!” Liu Ruyan’s eyes lit up, and she turned to the three of them with a gossipy look in her eyes. “You two are together in the main world of Yilin?”

She wanted to see Zheng Yaqian look embarrassed, or glance cautiously at Qianlin, or something like that... but she didn't.

Zheng Yaqian's eyes and expression remained unchanged, utterly composed: "Although there is a me in every parallel world, in essence, I am the same as Qianlin. I am not the same 'Zheng Yaqian' as the me in the parallel worlds. All their thoughts and ideas have nothing to do with me."

She looked at the two of them, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Strictly speaking, I am not 'Zheng Yaqian'."

Just like the time traveler Qianlin is not 'Qianlin'.
