My Pokémon wants a rider

In a private box at the Quartz Conference, Ling Yu and his group watched the Quartz Conference's opening elimination rounds playing on the screen.

Ling Yu, Xiao Lan, and Sheng Dai haven't gone on stage yet; it's not their turn, so they're resting in the private room first.

"Xiaoyu, are you nervous?" Xiaolan asked, looking at the calm Lingyu. Compared to Lingyu, Xiaolan was undoubtedly more nervous.

Ling Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xiao Lan, looking at Xiao Lan's two hands that were almost red from gripping them, and said, "You're nervous, aren't you? Your little hands are almost red from gripping them."

"Hehe~" Little Blue playfully stuck out her tongue at Ling Yu, trying to suppress her nervousness.

This is Blue's first time participating in the Quartz Convention, so it's normal for him to be nervous. Even Sundae next to him was too nervous to say a word.

"Actually, you don't need to be nervous. The Quartz Conference is just a playground for capital. With your current strength, you can definitely make it into the top eight."

Sundae nodded blankly, "Yes, is that so?" She didn't expect Ling Yu to say that, but from her family's perspective, it was indeed the case.

The Quartz Conference has completely degenerated into a casino for capital. For ordinary people like Ash Ketchum, even getting into the top 30 is a challenge.

Without a capital base in the early stages, relying solely on luck is simply not enough to compete with those children who have capital.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, won't what you're saying affect the alliance?" Xiaolan whispered in Lingyu's ear.

The private rooms provided by the Quartz Conference are equipped with surveillance cameras and listening devices, which is why Xiao Lan had to tell you this quietly.

Because Xiao Lan's family is in the Kanto region, they are subject to the League's restrictions and dare not speak ill of the League openly.

Ling Yu's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm as he chuckled, "Don't worry, Lan, maybe after the Quartz Conference, those old guys from the Alliance will even take the initiative to curry favor!"

"Really?" Xiao Lan nodded as if she understood, but she still unconditionally supported Ling Yu in her heart, after all, Ling Yu's strength had long surpassed that of any other alliance.

In the face of absolute power, no amount of trickery or schemes will work.

"Ling Yu from the Unova region versus Xiao Ruo from the Kanto region. Please take your positions."

Upon hearing the bell, Ling Yu waved to the women, "It's my turn to go on stage, watch my performance!"

With that, Ling Yu left the private room and went to the battle teleportation platform.

Ling Yu stepped onto the technologically advanced battle system and examined it closely. 'I didn't expect the Alliance's technology to surpass Earth's. But that's normal; the two worlds are at different latitudes.'

After looking at the technologically advanced battlefield, Ling Yu nodded to himself.

This battle arena is a battle platform built by the League at a cost of hundreds of millions. It can draw any battle arena, and there is a thin light blue shield on the platform for the trainers.

Even the surrounding stands have these protective shields; this technology is something Earth doesn't have.

Ling Yu arrived at the battle stage and saw a beautiful sight on the teleportation platform opposite.

Xiao Ruo, a girl with a youthful charm, wore a white hat and a red scarf around her neck. She looked exactly like a miniature version of Xiao Yao, except that her chest hadn't grown in, but she was still about the same size as Xiao Yao.

Even Ling Yu, staring intently at Xiao Ruo, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"As expected of the elf world, any girl you pick here is prettier than any of the internet celebrities from Earth back then. But while they're pretty, they're still a little less attractive than my wives."

Inside the room, Xiao Lan, Hong Dou Shan, and the Blood Shadow girls saw Ling Yu's expression and stared at him intently, all letting out a snort.

"Hmph, Xiaoyu is such a womanizer."

Yew also gritted her teeth and snorted, "Hmph, what a womanizer."

Upon seeing Ling Yu in person, Xiao Ru's eyes lit up, and she puffed out her rather plain chest. "Dr. Ling Yu, I'm your idol, oh no, you're my idol god! Can I get your autograph after the match?"

Ling Yu was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Ru, who was looking at him excitedly. Even he didn't expect to meet a fan. However, Ling Yu could never refuse a fan's request. "Of course!"

Upon hearing Ling Yu's agreement, the women in the private room gave a sarcastic snort, "Hmph, of course you can."

However, Ling Yu had no idea that if he had, he wouldn't have agreed to the fans' request.

"Please take your positions. This match is the prelude to the Indigo League elimination rounds. The arena will be a lake, randomly selected. Each player may use three Pokémon. The first player to defeat all three wins. The match is now officially beginning."

The competition requirements were announced over a large loudspeaker, and Ling Yu's match officially began.

"Come out, Gyarados." Ling Yu took out a Luxury Ball and released it into the air.

A massive golden Gyarados appeared before the crowd, instantly sparking a heated discussion among those on the stage.

This Gyarados was a Champion-potential Gyarados that Ling Yu caught when he caught the Holy Gyarados, and was later handed over to that old guy, the Holy Gyarados, for training.

It incorporated a trace of Gyarados's bloodline scales and eventually transformed into a shiny Pokémon.

"Wow, Dr. Ling Yu's first Pokémon is a shiny one. He truly lives up to his reputation as Dr. Ling Yu."

"Oh, it's just a shiny Pokémon. In the previous video, Dr. Ling Yu had two legendary Pokémon and a weird Psyduck."

"Wow, really?"

"Look at you, you're just a fake fan of Dr. Ling Yu. There are many videos about the [Elf Voice] developed by Junlin Group."

[Elf Voice] is an app under Junlin, exactly the same as Douyin. Many marketing accounts on it keep editing Ling Yu's elf videos.

Many people even gained popularity because of this, creating videos specifically featuring Ling Yu and gaining millions of followers.

"Then I'll have to take a good look at it."

……

When Xiao Ru saw the red Gyarados, she smirked. "I'm still a newbie! How dare you use this to beat up a newbie like me?"

Xiao Ruo shakily took out an ordinary Poké Ball and released Ivysaur. She had encountered Ivysaur by chance in Viridian Forest, and it had the potential to become a near-Elite Four member.

For an ordinary person, Xiao Ruo is already lucky enough.

It's incredibly difficult for ordinary people to encounter the starter Pokémon in the wild; basically, the majority of starter Pokémon are taken by the League.

Ling Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting Xiao Ruo to be so lucky.

Xiao Ru trembled at the sight of the enormous Gyarados. "Ling Yu, my god, please go easy on me!"

Ling Yu nodded after hearing this and pointed to Xiao Ruo, giving her an OK sign. "Okay, I will definitely not bully my little fan."

After hearing this, Xiao Ru calmed down and looked at Bulbasaur with a determined gaze. "Bulbasaur, that's my idol, Dr. Ling Yu. We have to give it our all."

Upon hearing this, Bulbasaur nodded excitedly to Xiao Ruo. Having always stayed with Xiao Ruo, it knew who Ling Yu was. Like Xiao Ruo, it also wanted to prove itself to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu looked at the two encouraging each other, then looked up at the cameras scattered throughout the sky.
