Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Upon hearing Natsumi's words, Arima had a lot to say but couldn't get it out, keeping it all bottled up inside.

The director stood to the side, wiping his sweat with a smile, without saying a word, clearly indicating that Naz was in charge of everything.

Arima wanted to explain something to Naz.

For example, the quality of the students was not good, or it was just bad luck in the competition, or reaching the quarterfinals was not actually a bad result.

But when he met Sabrina's cold, ruthless eyes, he couldn't come up with any excuse.

Lu An, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had vaguely heard of this "red and green cup" when he was an investigator.

It seems the full name is something like "FireRed and LeafGreen Battle Cup," a Pokémon battle tournament jointly organized by universities in various cities in the Kanto region.

Trainers who can stand out in the Red and Green Cups often end up having a place among the Kanto trainers.

Therefore, it is also known as the "Little Masters Cup" in Kanto and is very popular among young trainers.

Golden University has been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the "Red-Green Cup" for the past three years.

In fact, among the dozens of universities in the Kanto region that are qualified to participate, being able to enter the top eight is already a good result.

Cerulean City, one of the eight major cities in the Kanto region, doesn't even have a single university that made it into the top eight.

However, the problem is that Golden City is the most economically prosperous city in the Kanto region, yet its best result is only the quarterfinals, and that was for three consecutive years.

It's a complete disgrace to Golden City.

If this continues, many promising young trainers will be absorbed by universities in other cities. This is intolerable.

Lu An glanced at Na Zi, who exuded an invisible, icy aura, and pondered to himself.

As the Gym Leader of Saffron City and its face, Sabrina must have long been dissatisfied with Saffron University's record.

Thinking of this, Lu An suddenly shuddered.

Could it be that this Naz is trying to use him to handle this mess, and that's why she specifically dragged him over?

Thinking even further ahead, could it be that Natsume suggested that Watari go to Golden University in the first place?

Thinking of this, Lu An looked at the director who was intimidated by her mere presence and at Arima who was trembling with fear, and immediately decided to keep his distance from this woman from now on.

This kind of cunning old fox with special abilities always thinks three steps ahead before taking one, which is completely out of place for someone like him who only watches one movie at a time.

So, can this special ability be nerfed? It's really affecting the battle environment!

Regardless of Lu An's brainstorming session, Nazi continued on her end:

"A coach who takes a lot of money but does things that anyone can do is better off not being a coach."

Arima's expression changed immediately upon hearing Natsumi's words.

He respected Natsume before only because she had the strength and status to command respect.

But ultimately, it's because bending over won't affect his interests.

Hearing what Naz said, it seems she's dissatisfied with his coaching performance and wants to take away his salary and benefits!

Arima could no longer tolerate this:

“Miss Nazja, as a member of Golden City, I respect you, but that doesn’t mean I can let you humiliate me.”

"I have sweated for the school team, I have bled for the students, and my contributions to Golden University are evident to all."

Naz said coldly, "Having made contributions doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels and do nothing."

"I won't argue with you. Whether it's the Red and Green Cups, being a coach, or being a Pokémon Trainer, in the end, it all comes down to ability."

Arima's eyes flashed with a hint of apprehension: "You mean, you want me to challenge you?"

Naza snorted coldly: "You're not worthy to challenge me."

As she spoke, Naz pointed to Lu An, who had been silently following beside her:

“Lu An is a student at Golden University. You fight him. If you can beat him, I won’t be the honorary coach anymore. I’ll just turn around and leave.”

"I'll leave the Pokémon battle training at Golden University and the Red and Green Cup to you. I won't interfere anymore."

Upon hearing Nazi's words, Lu An immediately cursed inwardly.

You old sly devil, you've finally shown your true colors!

I knew you had a reason for bringing me here!

Upon hearing Naz's words, Lu An immediately looked up and down at the "college student" Naz had mentioned.

Having led the Golden University team for many years, I had never heard of this guy's name, nor had I ever seen what he looked like.

Although he is very handsome, he looks young and is indeed still a student.

Arima completely forgot that if you ignore Sabrina's unapproachable aura, she actually has a youthful face.

Having decided that the college student in front of him was no big deal, Arima gritted his teeth and looked at Natsumi:

"Okay, you said it yourself. If I beat him, you can still be the honorary coach, but please give me a little more recognition, considering how many years I've dedicated to the university."

In reality, he had no choice but to accept the challenge.

After all, as one of the most powerful people in Golden City, it would only take Naza a few words to replace a mere university team coach.

With the immense wealth of Golden City, he could easily find someone else to replace him.

Therefore, if he wants to retain his coaching position, he must accept the challenge.

After saying that, Arima didn't wait for Natsumi and Lu An to reply and took the lead in walking towards the battlefield.

Looking at Arima's lonely figure, so desolate and forlorn, Lu An felt helpless:

"As a member of the bet, I don't think I've agreed to it yet, have I?"

As he spoke, Lu An angrily looked at Na Zi: "You brought me here with ulterior motives, and you're just using me as a pawn!"

Judging from Lu An's words, it seems that this kind of thing has happened quite often in the past.

"Just consider it a favor you do me, and I'll consider it an obligation to you."

Nazi's icy demeanor slowly melted away, and a smile appeared on her lips. Xiaozhu, who had just parked the car, couldn't help but rub her eyes, wondering if she had been too busy lately and her eyes were seeing things.

"I feel like I've heard this so many times, but I just don't know if I'll ever be able to use this favor."

"Then you'll have to rely on me more often."

After saying that, Natsu walked towards the battlefield.

The argument between Sabrina and Arima had already attracted the attention of the school team students who were training, and some of them recognized the famous Queen of Infernal Affairs.

"What's wrong? Why are you arguing with the coach, Miss Naz?"

"It seems that Miss Naz is very dissatisfied because the coach has not brought good results to our school."

"What should I do?"

"Oh, why is the coach heading towards the battlefield? Did Miss Sabrina go there too?"

"Are those two going to get into a fight?"

"Wait, why isn't Miss Sabrina standing opposite the coach? Why is it someone who looks about our age?"

Neito and Naoko also arrived at the school team. They were both surprised to see the strange yet familiar figure standing opposite Arima, seemingly ready to begin a match.

"Lu An?"
