Farming in the Pokémon World

In the following days, the competition was in full swing.

Mingshu won all the rounds but finally lost in the finals.

Her opponent is Xiaochun, a new generation rising star of the Yulong family. The Yulong family deliberately builds up momentum for her, and their goal is to take the vacant position of the leader of the Tokiwa Gym.

The alliance also took advantage of the popularity of the Quartz Conference to raise a lot of funds.

This year's alliance operating funds have been mostly raised by a single Quartz Conference.

This is why the League has always insisted on vigorously developing trainers.

Behind the entire group of trainers is a whole industry.

The chain involves the livelihoods of countless people.

It is also the foundation of the alliance.

Although it was a bit of a pity, Otani also understood that the gap between Mingshu and the trainers who had received elite education since childhood could not be caught up in a day or two.

After the competition, there is an awards ceremony.

Mingshu did not feel disappointed, because being the runner-up was already beyond his expectations. His original goal was to be in the top four.

On the podium, Mingshu was the only one who was not a member of the alliance.

It is very rare to have no illustrated book and no Big Three.

Many people looked at Ming Shu with strange eyes, and were wondering in their hearts what price they would have to pay to win over this rising star.

When Mingshu gave his acceptance speech, he especially thanked Otani. When he heard Otani's name, many people who were looking at Mingshu disappeared.

This is also what Otani specifically said to Mingshu. Otani has always been very low-key in the alliance, so low-key that many people don't know of his existence. However, for all major forces, Otani is the person they least want to offend.

So when they heard Mingshu thank Otani in particular, they tacitly understood that this was someone Otani had trained, and immediately gave up on other thoughts.

Xiaochun was a little surprised to hear that Mingshu and Otani knew each other, and soon started chatting with Mingshu. With his carefree personality, it was easy for him to make friends.

Mingshu was not clear about Xiaochun's identity at first, but he had a vague guess in his heart that she should be a trainer trained by a major force in the alliance.

When Mingshu heard this, he realized that it was Du's cousin. Mr. Du and Mr. Otani are good friends, so she is a friendly force.

I let down my guard a lot and started chatting happily with Xiaochun.

This conversation was a big deal. Cindy was so angry that her teeth were itching in the audience.

But then she thought again, she and Mingshu were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, which was normal. But seeing the two people on the stage chatting happily, Cindy felt uncomfortable.

After the award ceremony, Cindy quickly moved to Mingshu and naturally took his arm.

Mingshu did not resist, because Cindy had held his arm in the same way a few days ago, and he did not feel there was anything wrong.

Cindy looked at Xiaochun provocatively, but Xiaochun was not angry. He smiled and pulled Cindy aside to talk in private.

After a while, Xiaochun and Cindy became good friends. It was as if they had known each other for decades and could talk about anything. Cindy's hostility towards Xiaochun completely disappeared.

Mingshu scratched his head in confusion, feeling something was odd.

After the award ceremony, Mingshu called Otani.

The two chatted for a while, and Otani asked Mingshu what he planned to do next.

Mingshu was silent for a while and said,

"Mr. Otani, I plan to continue my journey, and my next destination is the Sinnoh League."

Otani was not surprised either, as Mingshu was born to be a trainer.

"Now that you've made the decision, I'm relieved. But Mingshu, I won't be providing you with resources for free in the future."

"I understand, Mr. Otani"

It's not that Otani is stingy. A senior trainer like Mingshu requires a lot of resources.

If every Otani was funded in this way, Otani would soon go bankrupt.

Moreover, with Mingshu's current strength, he can go to the Elf Center to take on some difficult commissions, and the bonuses are also very generous.

"But don't worry, you can buy cubes from me at the lowest price, and I can also give you the right to buy super cubes. It's also at cost price."

Mingshu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he thought of the terrifyingly high price of the super cube and felt a little uneasy.

How many tasks do I have to complete before I can buy one?

But this is a good thing, because Otani and Mingshu said that the Super Cube can help Pokémon break through the Quasi-King level.

Moreover, Otani has already told Mingshu the techniques on how to break through to the quasi-king level. What Mingshu lacks is experience and accumulation.

After hanging up the phone, Otani felt relieved.

My investment vision is still very accurate.

The trainers that I sponsored before were all elite level, although not as strong as Ming Shu.

But he is also a leader among all the trainers, and all of them are not from the league.

As Otani funds more and more people, these people will gradually expand their influence.

Gently and imperceptibly change the current status quo of the alliance.

Because it is a fair competition, the major forces have nothing to say even if they lose, and the possibility of poaching people is also very small because they do not have the ability like Otani.

Money alone is not enough to impress those trainers. They are not fools. The resources on Otani's side are hard to buy with money.

Therefore, the plan that Otani is implementing now is impeccable within a small scope, and the cost is also within Otani's affordability.

Moreover, Otani does not unconditionally fund every trainer, unless it is a case like Mingshu, who is extremely talented but has a really bad financial situation. Only then will Otani provide full funding. Currently, Mingshu is the only such person.

The others are permissions to purchase blocks, which do not include perfect quality and super blocks. Currently, only Mingshu has this permission.

Mingshu can be considered as a direct descendant trained by Otani.

Mingshu stayed in the Quartz Plateau for two days and then prepared to set off by ship to Sinnoh.

Cindy insisted on following him no matter what, and Mingshu had no choice but to agree to travel with her.

Xiaochun looked at the two of them with a smile.

Cindy saw Xiaochun looking at her in a mean way, and rushed towards Xiaochun with bared teeth and claws in annoyance.

Mingshu looked at the two women who had been on good terms just now and now were fighting again, feeling somewhat puzzled.

On the farm, Dagu finished his work and basked in the sun leisurely.

The spring sunshine is warm but not too hot. It feels very comfortable when it shines on the body.

At this time, Otani was thinking about Sinnoh, he hadn't been there for a long time.

He didn't want to do that at first, but after Mingshu said that, he couldn't stop thinking about Sinnoh.

Da Gu was planning to travel before, but he had so many things to do that he forgot about it. Now he is not busy anyway, so he might as well go on a trip.

Once this thought came up, I could no longer suppress it.

Finally, Otani decided to travel together.
