Pokémon: Encounter

Long Xing was not polite. No matter whose tea it was, he picked up the cup of tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

No one noticed that Zhao Liyi had actually prepared an extra cup of tea when he made it.

"Xiaolong~Do you know that there is a reason why you were assigned to do the job of secretly protecting people after retirement." Old Xia teased as he looked at Long Xin who hurriedly ran in.

The others nodded silently.

"Ah? Isn't it because the kid in the south is more important, so we have to send someone powerful? I know that. And don't call me Xiaolong!"

“…”

Zhao Liyi remained silent and refilled the tea glasses for everyone present.

Guan Qing suddenly thought that it might not be appropriate to let Long Xing be the leader of the island operation.

Another mouthful of silence, "Where were you talking about?"

"Speaking of the first three college competitions, our Hua Country lost all three games, and no one from your Long family participated." Old Xia said unhappily.

Long Xing slammed the table, "I get angry when it comes to this. The third child had a baby late, the second child was single all his life, and only my disappointing son can learn something else but study what Lao Bai did all day long. It really makes me so angry!!!"

Bai Lao glared at Long Xing in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with doing research? Isn't Long Zhe also working for your Long family to make it easier for the public to breed dragon-type Pokémon?"

"But our Long family is a fighting family! Even if we don't take the lead in the battle, we should be able to stand up at the critical moment! In the end, it made Huaguo lose face. We can't even keep the things of our own country! Why don't you let your own sons fight for their honor!"

"you!"

"Alright, alright! Seniors, please let me finish what I'm saying first!"

Seeing that several big guys were arguing endlessly, Guan Qing had a headache and hurried to stop them.

"Where did I say it?"

"Second, three defeats in three battles." Zhao Liyi reminded.

"Oh, right, right, that's right. It was precisely because of the temporary failures in the previous three times that we successfully won this opportunity for Nan Fang. With Nan Fang's strength, I think the chances of winning this year are very high. And Nan Fang's age just happens to meet the upper limit of the age requirement."

The College Competition, as the name suggests, only allows young people aged 19 to 25 who are still in college, including graduate students, to participate. Each country has one college, and each college has five people.

"So, this requires Mr. Bai to have a good discussion with Nan Fang later. I hope he can lead the team to participate in this competition. Winning is the best. Not only will they be eligible to enter the dragon cave to select dragon-type Pokémon, but they will also receive medals and generous material rewards from the country. This includes a king-level Pokémon egg from the national treasury of their choice, breeding materials for their chosen Pokémon until the king level, and a bonus of 10 million! But if they don't win the championship, they will only have a bonus of 100,000 as an encouragement."

Although most of the people present here have achieved several small goals, the reward given by the country this time made everyone gasp.

Needless to say, the qualifications for the Dragon Cave were not to be mentioned. As long as you were lucky enough, it was not impossible for the Dragon Cave Lord to take it away. Then the national reward, the guaranteed top-level Pokémon of your choice was already quite tempting enough. A top-level Pokémon egg was extremely expensive in the market.

Then there are the cultivation materials, which are all the materials that have been cultivated from birth to the King level. Let's put it this way, Nan Fang is very strong, and his King level Big Bird was also created after so many years of research. Not only money, but some materials also require a lot of time to find and rely on luck.

Cultivating a perfect Pokémon to graduation is a process that combines the tangible and the intangible. Therefore, the cultivation materials can basically be said to be extremely expensive.

Only then did Mr. Bai understand that this was not discrimination against the South, but treating the South as one's own sons!

"We've been too frustrated in the college competitions in recent times! This time it's held in our country, we must get back at the plate!" Guan Qing said indignantly.

It seems that the people above are really holding their breath this time.

"Then why don't these old guys strive for the college competition?" Long Xing asked.

"I cherish my own feather quilt, I am afraid that my young ones will get hurt, and I am afraid of losing face in the end. Compared with the fierce fighting in the academy competition among countries, the island operation is safer, and there is also a spot in the dragon cave this time." Old Xia replied.

"Eh? If we win the championship, will all five of us get this reward?" Mr. Xia suddenly asked.

"Yes. To be honest, the only one who meets the requirements as far as I know is the strongest in the south, so I am talking about him." Guan Qing replied.

silence.

Long Xing beat his chest and stamped his feet, hating himself for not having a second child.

Old Bai was smiling happily and planned to go back and have a good chat with his fake grandson Nan Fang.

Mr. Xia was smiling happily.

"Eh? That's not right! What are you laughing at?" Bai Lao and Long Xing asked in surprise.

"Oh, unfortunately, I have a granddaughter named Xia Mingyi, who is currently studying economics at Beijing University. Didn't you know this before?"

“I haven’t noticed…” Everyone shook their heads.

"Oh, she was abroad before, and she just came back these few days. She's quite low-key and not very famous. No wonder you didn't know her."

Old Xia stroked his beard.

Everyone rolled their eyes. It turns out that your granddaughter hasn’t returned to China to attend school yet, right? Fine, we toast to you, you’re a werewolf!

"And the third place?" Mr. Bai was a careful person, and he was not so dazzled by the reward that he let his granddaughter drop out of school to participate in the competition. This was simply insane!

"As for the third one." Guan Qing paused, "This third one is my personal idea for now."

"The Liu Hewei Rocket Team incident and the appearance of the Armored Pokémon made me realize that things are not simple. I hope that our research team has a trustworthy person, and this person must have the ability to compete with the other party in all aspects."

"Whether it's virtue, character, ability, knowledge, potential or strength, Nan Fang is the best candidate for me right now. I hope he can return to the official side."

"But because of what happened before, the South needs a reason to convince others. The World Academy Tournament that is about to begin is the best opportunity."

"I know this is difficult. After all, judging from the intensity of previous competitions, some students have never been able to become Pokémon trainers again. This is a battle that is both mentally and physically torturous."

"I didn't have much contact with Nan Fang before, but this kid should be very hostile to me. For the safety of our country, the people and Pokémon, I hope Mr. Bai can persuade Nan Fang."

Having said that, Guan Qing stood up and bowed solemnly to Mr. Bai.

......

Yuhong Town.

"Ah-chu~ I won't catch a cold, will I?"

"Would you like to take a cold medicine?"

"It should be fine, let's go!"

"Ah."
