Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Professor Oak is going to hold a gathering?

Fangzhou was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Invite the next generation of trainers from all over the world?"

Wouldn't that mean there are a lot of people?

Even if you only invite the young generation of the Four Heavenly Kings and champions from each region, the total number of people would still be quite large.

Why did the PhD invite so many people over?

Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the current Pokémon League and wants to invite powerful trainers to a gathering to give a speech?

We'll have to go to a tavern!

"Of course, it's not really the whole world, just the Kanto and Johto regions. The Hoenn region only invited Daigo, because I knew Daigo before."

With a smile, Qinglv took out an exquisite invitation card from her pocket, which featured Professor Oak's portrait and a Pikachu.

Professor Oak really loves Pikachu! Every time he introduces Pokémon knowledge on TV, he always ends with, "Let's all go catch Pokémon, Pikachu!"

Green handed the invitation to Ark, "But I already have a second person I'd like to invite in the Hoenn region. You're welcome to visit Oak's lab in ten days."

Invite yourself?

Fangzhou didn't consider himself a new generation trainer; he was just an ordinary manor lord.

But he still accepted the invitation, nodded, and said, "I will definitely be there on time in ten days."

After all, he's Professor Oak!

I often see him on TV, and Professor Oak frequently appears on Pokémon International Radio. He's truly a national-level celebrity!

Green was going to invite Daigo, so without lingering, it quickly rode away on Pidgeot.

Daigo is also a future champion, and Ark originally planned to get to know him through the Michael route.

Daigo and Michael are good friends, and after all, he is the future heir to a large company. Perhaps he can cooperate with his estate in the future.

With this gathering, I can find an opportunity to get to know Daigo directly, without having to bother Mikuri.

With only three days left until the Wind Festival, time is flying by in the pre-competition preparations. After the addition of the Little Flame Monkey, Ark's fire and wind tactics have officially taken shape, and it's time to hone our teamwork in a frenzy.

At the same time, Ark also received a payment. Uncle Kent kept his promise and transferred the money as soon as he completed the cash flow ahead of schedule.

It seems my honey has been helpful.

The purchase of the large milk tank will have to be postponed for a while longer, as we are still short of funds.

Tropical Dragon and Chimchar's festival training has reached its final sprint, and Ark dares not disturb them.

We can only discuss this after the Wind Festival ends.

Finally, the Wind Festival has arrived.

The thirty-second day of spring is the day of the wind.

Mayor Lewis reminded Fangzhou a day in advance to be on time for the competition, showing his concern for the new manor lord.

The textile festival's competitions are scheduled to start in the evening because the performances and displays create a better atmosphere.

The competitions at the Wind Festival take place in the morning.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting a pale gold hue on the rooftops of Littleroot Town, Ark summoned the Pokémon of the manor to prepare for departure.

Big Tail and Speaker Cricket, whom they hadn't seen for a few days, also came over, blinking at Fangzhou.

They haven't appeared recently because Ark asked them to help with something.

Today is not only the day of the Wind Festival competition, but also another important day, and Ark needs to prepare some things in advance.

Psyduck was waiting by the lake as always, with the mysterious water droplet given to it by Ark around its neck. It was also going to cheer on the Pokémon in the manor.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

This time, there are no difficult-to-move shell cocoons or shield cocoons, so there is no need for a trolley.

To ensure that the three tropical dragons were in top condition for the competition, Ark didn't ride them over, but instead put them all into Poké Balls to rest.

Riding the bicycle, Kirlia instantly teleported behind Ark, hugging Ark's waist tightly, while the other Pokémon ran alongside the bicycle.

The manor brigade marched in a grand and enthusiastic manner toward Weibai Square.

Upon arriving at the venue, Fangzhou was immediately captivated by the festive atmosphere.

The entire Undying Square has been transformed, decorated with silver and blue hues everywhere, symbolizing the wind and sea that Lugia controls.

The canopies of each stall are designed in a streamlined shape, like little birds about to take flight.

Some children wore hats shaped like Lugia and happily weaved through the crowd.

Above the square, a dozen Lugia-shaped kites soared in the morning breeze, their silvery-white wings shimmering in the rising sun.

Fangzhou first went to the pre-competition registration area, where he needed to register the Pokémon he was going to participate in and confirm that he met the participation requirements.

The staff member in charge was Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center in Littleroot Town, dressed in a standard white nurse's uniform, except today her white cap was adorned with a Lugia with outstretched wings.

There was also a chubby Chansey next to it.

Fangzhou saw that Chansey was very popular, and raising Chansey was much better than raising ordinary chicks.

Chansey not only possesses many healing abilities, but it can also lay eggs.

If I could raise a flock of lucky eggs to lay and sell, it would definitely be a substantial income.

Unfortunately, these Pokémon, along with Growlithe and Countdown, are all Pokémon controlled by the League, making it very difficult to find wild ones, and they are not allowed to be sold.

Ahead of the ark was a boy in shorts, with an insect net slung over his back.

"Contestant Shorts Xiao Wu, ID 9527, what Pokémon did you use in this competition?"

The shorts-wearing boy proudly tossed out a Butterfree, the evolved form of a Caterpie he had caught in the Kanto region.

"Alright, what about your other two Pokémon that you're using to team up with?"

The boy in shorts blinked his innocent little eyes, puzzled, and asked, "Isn't this a speed contest between Pokémon? Why do we need to coordinate with the Pokémon?"

Nurse Joy smiled helplessly. "The competition rules have been updated this year. You need to have three Pokémon working together, otherwise you won't be allowed to register. We announced the latest rules and the specific competition time on the Pokémon Center and the town's official website a long time ago."

"Oh dear, what's wrong with this? Damn it!" The boy in shorts grumbled as he walked away.

It seems like they excitedly decided to participate on the spur of the moment after hearing someone mention the competition date, without even properly understanding the competition rules.

It was finally Ark's turn to register.

Fangzhou asked curiously, "Can Butterfly also participate?"

It's so small, can it even be considered a bicycle?

Miss Joy smiled slightly awkwardly, "There was also Dudu before, who couldn't fly, but just ran on the ground. Occasionally, she would use her flying magic to jump high into the air and say that she could fly too."

Wow~ If that's the case, I, Groudon, can jump around a couple of times and then participate in flying competitions too.

Fangzhou quickly completed the registration and went outside, where he saw a stall surrounded by a crowd.

Fangzhou curiously went over and saw a familiar face among the onlookers: Emily, the owner of the clothing store, was in the crowd.

Fang Zhou patted her on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Emily, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's Fangzhou! We're betting on who will win this competition, and you're one of the candidates. I've placed my bet on you, so you'd better do your best!"
