Dual-career Pokémon trainer

"Seriously, why do we have to go to such a faraway city as Green Ridge City?"

Why don't we just go to the nearest dojo?

Kaina City is a port, and Rukia is still a little resentful about Lin Jing, who just bought a ticket.

Lin Jing waved the boat ticket in her hand with a smile on her face.

"After all, Green Mine Gym is the truly powerful official gym."

This is the last dojo.

If you're going to fight, Green Moss Gym is definitely the best place to test your strength.

Besides, I haven't even really experienced doubles yet.

"whatever."

Ryukia glanced at Lin Jing.

Anyway, this guy is the one who paid for it.

However, she didn't expect Lin Jing to be so rich that she could directly buy long-distance luxury cruise tickets.

There were even two of them.

Fortunately, this guy had paid attention to the time.

Anyway, participating in the Grand Contest in Kaina City is just about right.

She didn't say anything more.

"But who are you planning to send to the Grand Contest this time?"

Ryukia was both curious and eager to gather information.

However, this question caught Lin Jing off guard.

Who should we send out...?

Lin Jing naturally placed her hand on the Poké Ball that she had been using most recently.

His first thought was, of course, his own plush, cute, and handsome Lucario.

However, after evolving, Big Wolf has become much more familiar with his new powers.

But in his opinion, it was still not quite right.

Besides, Lucario isn't that fond of Contests.

Arcanine seems pretty good too... but big dogs don't really like participating in Contests.

As for the flower petals and stems...

Lin Jing glanced at the slightly protruding pink and blue petal on the top of her head and her face darkened.

He wasn't really counting on this foodie and lazybones.

Sylveon has been in a bad mood lately because of some (blue-black fluffy) issues.

As for the other ones...

Oh right! Come to think of it, there's a little guy who hasn't participated before because of his own personal issues.

After this period of training, there shouldn't be any problems now!

Lin Jing slammed her hand down, finally remembering a fluffy creature she had long overlooked.

Although it may be uncertain whether the judges will like it during the first round of review.

However, once you pass the first round of screening, you'll reach the second round of the battle...

Hehehehe~~~

Just as Lin Jing gave a sinister smile, she noticed a companion who had suddenly moved away from her.

What are you doing?

"It's nothing, it's just that your smile suddenly feels really disgusting, like you're thinking of something bad."

Rukia rubbed her arms, her face showing a strange and wary expression.

"Cough... What are you saying?"

I just finally thought of the Pokémon to use, okay?

They've all asked me about this instead.

Who are you planning to send out this time?

"Of course it's the little girl."

That child has never participated in a grand competition.

This time, we need to let it have a proper experience.

Ryukia answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

As for whether Gu Niu Niu, who is participating for the first time, can win the competition...

Rukia glanced at the guy who had just been grinning lewdly.

With this guy around anyway, she didn't have much confidence.

Since that's the case, it would be better to let Gu Niu Niu get some experience in this competition.

......

Kaina City.

One of the major cities located in the southern part of the Hoenn region.

Due to its geographical location, this is also an extremely prosperous port city.

It not only has the largest shipyard in the Hoenn region, but also a dedicated marine science museum, the Slateport Market, and a series of other buildings.

If there's any drawback here, it's probably that there's no dojo here.

But recently this place has become even more lively.

"Big wolfhound, bite!"

"Charem, yoga pose."

"The Thunder Beasts used electric shocks to knock them down!"

In the square, sounds and Pokémon moves continued to intertwine.

Colorful balls fluttering in the air, frisbees falling, and sparks seemingly imbued with life have filled the entire square.

Those were the Coordinators making final preparations for the upcoming Senna Grand Festival.

"But there are so many contestants here today."

Lin Jing looked around at the crowd and Pokémon, somewhat surprised.

Although there have been quite a few participants in the Grand Contest in the past, there are an exceptionally large number of people participating today.

"After all, the largest port cities in the Hoenn region are Lilycove City and Slateport City."

It's normal for so many people to attend.

So be careful, don't lose this match!

Rukia, on the other hand, showed absolutely no fear of the arduousness of this competition.

It's more like it's perfect for her, and it also lets the little girl experience more glamorous competitions.

"However, the level ratio is about the same, or even worse."

Lin Jing couldn't help but complain as she looked at the contestants and Pokémon around her.

As everyone knows, there are no requirements for the Grand Contest.

If you are a trainer, you can apply for a Contest Pass at the Pokémon Center and register to participate in Contests without restrictions.

However, although some grand competitions have restrictions on the number of ribbons, there are very few such competitions.

Once there's no limit on the number of ribbons, both locals and passing tourists will basically get involved.

This is especially true in bustling port cities.

This resulted in the vast majority of trainers participating in the competition...

Lin Jing believes that most of them are probably kept as pets.

They also learned some skills such as doing handstands and throwing frisbees.

Judging from their performance, most people are probably not as good as Rukia's recently captured Goono.

ding~~~

A crisp sound rang out from the enormous building.

It looks like a switch was pressed.

The eyes of the many trainers who were making final adjustments all turned to look at it.

Lin Jing's lips also curled up slightly.

"Alright, it seems like it's time to get going."

"Seriously, do you really have any Pokémon that haven't participated in a Pokémon Contest?"

Rukia's eyes still held a hint of disbelief.

"Of course, I'm not lying."

Lin Jing gently rubbed the Poké Ball in his arms before striding forward.

The long-awaited Grand Contest... it's here!
