Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

"This Ralts is well-bred; the breeder's skill level is very high. I'm planning to visit this Ark sometime. Do you want to come?"

Red held up the freshly cleaned Poké Ball to examine it closely under the light.

"No, I'm only interested in the truly strong. I want to travel around and challenge powerful Pokémon Trainers to become the true Master of Pokémon!"

In Sooto City, Wallace watched Ralts's spectacular performance on the screen and chuckled as he patted a snake-like Pokémon beside him.

"I didn't expect him to grow so fast in just a few days. Milotic, I'm starting to look forward to our Grand Contest match."

"Whoosh~" Milotic, standing to the side, was equally full of fighting spirit.

Padiya region, Niangguang city.

A girl dressed in bright yellow with two little Magnemite dolls tied in her hair is enthusiastically live-streaming to the camera.

"Good morning, noon, and evening! Let me capture your attention with an electric grid. I'm Qishu, and this is the Electric Belly Frog."

"Electric~"

Then, she noticed that many people in the comments were mentioning a name: the Ark of Unwhite Town.

[So Professor Barton's hometown is in the Hoenn region. That Ark is amazing! It can even cultivate insect silk that Professor Barton praised.]

Yes, Professor Barton teaches at our Orange Grape Academy. She's usually very serious; I've never seen her smile. I was stunned when I saw her on TV just now.

I really hope I have a chance to visit that manor; they even managed to attract the mythical beast Meloetta!

[And that Kirlia is so cute, I really love it.]

The Ark of Littleroot Town... the silk praised by Professor Barton... the legendary Pokémon Meloetta... the adorable Kirlia...

call out!

A flash of lightning struck Qi Shu's mind!

Spotted! A hot topic!

She stood with her hands on her hips, leaning forward and staring wide-eyed at the camera: "I just saw a lot of people talking about Ark in Unwhite Town. Hmm, he's definitely a very interesting human. I've decided to take you guys to his manor for a live stream sometime!"

Wow, that's awesome!

Looking forward to it!

[Leave a butt out, please kick me during the live stream]

……

The entire Weibai Square was bathed in the atmosphere of the celebration, and finally, it was time for the awards ceremony.

The town mayor stood in the center of the award stage, his white beard fluttering in the night breeze.

"All fifteen of our contestants have finished their performances. Next up is the most exciting part: the awards ceremony."

"First of all, the third place winner of this textile festival is Hikari!"

"OHHHHHH!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Hikari walked onto the podium.

After experiencing a series of mental shifts—from "I've got the championship in the bag," to "Damn, I can only get second place," to "Third place isn't bad either"—he suddenly felt very relaxed.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Hahahaha, I'm not crazy, damn it, I'm just a runner-up again.

I will definitely reclaim my glory in the upcoming festivals!

"Mr. N from the Unova region won the runner-up prize, but unfortunately, he had to leave due to unforeseen circumstances. We will have Pelipper deliver the runner-up prize to him after the competition."

The mayor looked towards the players' section and saw that N's seat was empty.

Finally, the champion of this competition is—

The town mayor drawled out his words.

"The Ark!" Emily shouted excitedly.

The audience below, spurred on by Emily, waved their light sticks and chanted in unison.

"Ark! Ark! Ark!"

"That's right! The champion is our young manor lord, Ark! Congratulations on winning the champion's reward: 50,000 League Coins and a mount Pokémon!"

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Fangzhou walked onto the stage and stood next to Big Beard and the mayor.

The Pokémon that had come with the Ark were incredibly excited. They were overjoyed to finally see the result.

Treecko happily twirls around holding Psyduck's hand, while Tidehunter and Swellow sway their heads to the rhythm of the music.

The carapace and shield cocoons stand out from the crowd.

These are clothes made with our silk threads!

Our silk threads defeated everyone else, ho ho!

"Ark, please give your champion's speech," the mayor said encouragingly.

All eyes of the audience were focused on Fang Zhou.

I'm a little nervous and a little excited.

Fang Zhou coughed lightly, "Thank you Violet TV, all kinds of TV, and thank you Weibai Town for giving me the opportunity to perform in front of so many people."

He looked at the Pokémon who had come with him, "And then I want to thank Cocoon and Cocoon for their hard work, as well as the other Pokémon in the manor. The honor belongs to everyone!"

The shield cocoons and shell cocoons on the cart had teary eyes, clearly deeply moved.

Feeling the blissful atmosphere of the venue, magical energy filled their bodies, and their bodies began to change.

Wow!

"My God, mass evolution!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the ark-shaped cart.

At that moment, the body of a shield-cocoon was enveloped in countless white lights.

evolution!

Immediately afterwards, the body of a nearby cocoon also emitted a white light.

Then came the second one, the third one...

"It's a mass evolution! We're so lucky!" The mayor stroked his gray beard and laughed.

When the white light dissipated, all that could be heard was a long, whistling sound.

Snapped!

A hunting swallowtail butterfly spreads its wings, flaps them, and flies into the air.

Immediately following behind were a series of hunting swallowtail butterflies, interspersed with several poisonous powder moths.

After experiencing the monotony of being cocooned for a few days, they felt a long-lost sense of freedom as they soared freely above the vast venue.

Beautiful phosphorescent powder fell from the sky like sparkling stars, adding to the atmosphere of the lively venue below.

The textile festival came to a close in its final collective evolution.

The money has been deposited into Ark's Alliance Card, while the mount Pokémon is in the Pokémon House, which Ark needs to go there to choose.

After the awards ceremony, Fangzhou stepped off the stage and returned to his Pokémon's side, where several familiar faces gathered around him.

"Not bad, you've got some skills! I told you it was all about participation, but I underestimated you!" Robin laughed heartily.

Pierre smiled as he looked at Kirulian beside Ark, a touch of emotion in his eyes.

When Fangzhou first went to his shop, Ralts wasn't even born yet. He bought a bunch of baby supplies, and in less than half a month, it had all evolved.

At this moment, the blue Psyduck finally made up its mind, took out the invitation from behind its back, poked Ark's trouser leg, and handed it to him.

"Hmm? Wedding invitations for Mr. Pierre and Ms. Caroline?"

Fang Zhou stared in astonishment at the two people opposite him, who seemed like a long-married couple, and exclaimed in shock, "You two are just getting married?"

Happy wedding.
