Pokémon: Back to high school, I became a Pokémon master

night.

Zhou Wenchao lay in bed and dialed his home phone.

The call was answered almost immediately after it had only rang for a short while.

In the picture, a beautiful, yet slightly youthful face appeared.

"elder brother!"

A crisp sound rang in my ears.

"Ruoruo, what are you doing?"

Looking at the cheerful smiling faces on the screen, Zhou Wenchao's lips unconsciously curled up.

"Hehe, of course I'll study hard! In another month I'll be a senior in high school, and then I'll be a full-fledged Pokémon trainer." In the video, Zhou Wenruo is leaning over his desk, holding a book on Pokémon breeding.

"so fast."

Zhou Wenchao felt a little sentimental. Before he knew it, Ruoruo had reached the age to become a trainer.

"Brother, I've watched all your matches these past few days, Gardevoir is just too amazing."

"Ailu~"

Behind Ruoruo, Gallade also peeked out, indicating its agreement.

"This is nothing, there are even tougher matches in the rankings in a few days. Where are Mom and Dad? Aren't they home?"

Zhou Wenruo pouted: "Tch~ They're busy at the studio, leaving me all alone at home. They won't even let me go out and have fun."

Because of the time difference, it is daytime where Ruoruo is.

"What's wrong? Did you upset Mom and Dad again?" Zhou Wenchao raised an eyebrow. Needless to say, his parents doted on Ruoruo more than they did on him, so how could they not let him go out to play?

"Speaking of which, brother, do you know what happened in our Shandong province? Just a few days ago, a group of people attacked Mount Tai in Shanshi. I heard that the mountain was full of students who were about to take the college entrance examination or were in their final year of high school."

It caused a huge accident! Many people even said that Mount Tai came back to life. Unfortunately, I didn't see it.

Zhou Wenchao raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

“You really shouldn’t be allowed to run around. It’s too dangerous, especially at a time like this.”

"Brother! How can you say that too?!"

Ruoruo stomped her foot in annoyance.

"Ruoruo, you're not a child anymore. Stop acting like a little kid. Have you thought about which starter Pokémon you want to train when school starts?"

"It's still early. I want to wait until my brother comes back before we talk about it."

"It's hard to say what the situation is here. I probably won't be able to go back until the end of August."

The brother and sister chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone.

"What's going on at Mount Tai?"

He took out his phone and started searching for terms related to Shandong Province, Shanshi City, and Mount Tai.

However, there wasn't a single trending topic, which indicates one thing: it was being controlled by the alliance.

Zhou Wenchao frowned; something strange was amiss in this matter.

The only people who would dare to do this within the Great Xia territory are the Hunter Alliance, but what benefit would they gain from doing this at this time?

He remembered that the Hunter Alliance had lost several hunters whose code names were letters, and based on their testimonies, the Alliance had cleared out many of the Hunter Alliance's strongholds and nodes.

Never mind, I'll ask Sister Xia tomorrow.

Silent all night.

.......

the next day.

After finishing his daily morning exercise with the elves and preparing their food, Zhou Wenchao prepared to go visit Xia Yuhe.

He turned his gaze to the corner of the training room, where Gardevoir was still meditating. Yesterday's battle had deeply inspired it, and it was still processing what it had learned.

"Then go by yourself."

He didn't disturb Gardevoir; instead, his psychic powers surged, and he vanished from the spot.

A dozen minutes later, he arrived at the competition area for the team competition.

Two days ago, the team round-robin tournament ended, and the top 16 teams in the league have already qualified. They are just waiting for the individual tournament to finish before starting the second stage of the competition.

In a training field, Long Chen and his team had already begun their morning drills.

In the past few days, besides studying the tactics and strategies of other leagues, they also liked to go to the individual competition area to watch the games, especially yesterday's game between Zhou Wenchao and Xiaobenzi, which they really saw.

"Xiao Chao, you're here." Long Xiangyu, who was supervising them from the side, greeted Zhou Wenchao as he walked over, as was his habit.

"Brother Yu, where is Sister Xia? I need to talk to her about something."

"Oh, she was just invited by the organizers from the Americas League to discuss the upcoming matches. She should be in the meeting room right now. What's going on? Is it urgent?"

"No rush, I'll come back this afternoon."

He thought that since it had been more than a day or two since the incident happened, there was no need to rush.

......

In the afternoon, Xia Yuhe arrived at the individual competition area.

Ye Yayun and the ten participants in the individual competition gathered together once again.

Xia Yuhe glanced at everyone before speaking softly, "Very good, all ten of you have advanced. Or rather, none of you were eliminated. I am very pleased."

"Next up will be the ranking matches for the individual and team competitions. The two competitions will be held simultaneously in different locations, and the rankings of both sides will determine the allocation and ownership of some rare resources."

For example, a huge Mega Stone vein was recently discovered in the Americas, and rumors say that a brand new Mega Evolution has been discovered. For some reason, the Americas League relinquished a certain percentage of the ownership, and the ranking in the competition determines our share.

This is only a small part; there are other rare metal veins, evolution stone veins, and so on, as well as the most important global alliance resource allocation.

"I hope you can all give it your all and strive for a better ranking. Of course, the league will not treat you unfairly. After this competition, the league will give you corresponding rewards based on your performance."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

After everyone left, only Xia Yuhe and Zhou Wenchao remained in the room.

"I heard from Long Xiangyu that you came to see me this morning?"

"Sister Xia, I heard from Ruoruo that there was an accident in Taishan a few days ago?"

"Ok!"

Speaking of this, Xia Yuhe's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"About ten days ago, the Hunter Alliance suddenly attacked Mount Tai. Their target was a stone tablet on Mount Tai. Because we didn't take any precautions beforehand, they were able to take the stone tablet away."

As they took the stone tablet away, we discovered that beneath Mount Tai lay the ancient, legendary first-tier god, Regigigas. The commotion caused by Regigigas's awakening was immense; we had reason to suspect that the stone tablet was extremely important to Regigigas.

"The Regigigas, the Pillar King?"

He doesn't remember Regigigas having any treasures or anything like that.

"We still don't know what's hidden inside the stone tablet. This whole thing is incredibly strange. After all, the Hunter Alliance wouldn't do something so pointless without some effort."

Unfortunately, those we arrested knew nothing about this matter. Furthermore, even we didn't know that Regigigas lay dormant beneath Mount Tai, so how did they know?

Zhou Wenchao looked at Xia Yuhe, quietly waiting for her to continue.

Xia Yuhe paused for a moment, then continued, "We suspect that there are variables within the Hunter Alliance that we cannot control, or that they have partnered with someone else. There aren't many people who can partner with the Hunter Alliance, and even fewer who can cause them so much trouble."

"Sister Xia, you suspect it's the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"Ok!"

Xia Yuhe nodded solemnly. This was the only reliable speculation, and it was only speculation.

"Let's not talk about that now, there's no progress at the moment. Let's talk about something else."

"what's up?"

"During the meeting with the competition organizers, that old guy made a suggestion to me privately. Do you want to hear it?"
