I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

So Yang Xiying can be considered to be enjoying the blessings of having two wives.

Time passed, and the matchmaking event arrived. Yang Xiying went to the Yuhong Hotel at six o'clock on Sunday evening.

There were no obstacles along the way, after all, Yang Xiying had an invitation from Naz to him, and he could easily slip in by simply showing off his superpowers.

Upon entering, a high-class atmosphere immediately enveloped the room, with people dressed in suits and ties, as well as women in formal attire.

Yang Xiying also changed into a suit, because if she were still wearing casual clothes here, it would be easy for others to focus their attention on her.

He couldn't stand it, but Yang Xiying still felt several gazes on her, and someone was even approaching from behind.

"...Guess who I am?"

However, Yang Xiying let the other person approach and covered her eyes with her hands. Then a soft voice suddenly came.

"Yes, I won't forget that voice, Nanaka-nee... Ah, wait! I was wrong, Nanami-nee, don't be so rough!"

Yang Xiying felt the hands holding his head tighten, so much so that he had to beg for mercy!

"...Xiao Yang, you're still the same as always, you like to call me by the wrong name."

Hearing Yang Xiying beg for mercy, the person behind her let go, since making such a fuss would easily attract attention.

"Ahem, sorry, it's true that it's easy to pronounce if there's only one word difference, Nanami-nee-san," Yang Xiying said, turning around to look at the person who had come in, feeling a little embarrassed.

The person in front of me was none other than Nanami Oki, whom I hadn't seen for a while. And because Nanami's name sounded similar to a certain manga character, well…

In short, this was also the opportunity that led him to change his address from "Miss Nanami" to "Sister Nanami".

"By the way, Nanami-nee, are you also here in place of someone else to participate in this marriage contest?" Yang Xiying asked instinctively at this moment.

Although Nanami's arrival here was unexpected, upon closer inspection, it wasn't surprising, after all, she is Professor Oak's granddaughter, and who is Professor Oak?

As an authority in the Pokémon research community, he would naturally receive an invitation, but based on Yang Xiying's understanding of Oak, he probably wouldn't attend this event.

—I just didn't expect to call Nanami.

"Yes, and as Lijia's friend, I also have to come and see this marriage proposal event. I can't not support my friend's wedding."

Nanami nodded, then changed the subject, saying that she and Rika were indeed good friends, so she was also concerned about the other's happiness.

"I just don't know if Rika will be able to find a good husband."

As she spoke, Nanami sighed, because this method of choosing a candidate was a bit arbitrary, and she didn't think much of the other candidates present.

—Because those rich kids are too good at hiding their true selves…

"By the way, Yang, what brings you to this marriage contest? Have you taken a fancy to Rika?" Nanami also turned the conversation to Yang Xiying.

As she spoke, her expression turned teasing, because she had seen Yang Xiying and Lijia getting along very well back in Zhenxin Town.

—So you're starting to panic now that you've seen the matchmaking event?

"Uh..." Yang Xiying suddenly felt a little guilty. He had indeed come for this reason, but he didn't know why he didn't dare to say it...

"Wow, isn't this Mr. Yang? I didn't expect to see you in a place like this," someone else arrived just then, and it was Sakaki!

PS: Update! It took 60 pulls to finish the pool. Was it because Ash's pool didn't drop?

P.S.: I'd like to recommend a book!

The martial arts contest for marriage, numbered NO.288 and 289, has officially begun!

"Eh? Mr. Sakaki."

Upon hearing the familiar voice pointing at them, Yang Xiying immediately shifted her gaze, as did Nanami, who even showed a surprised expression.

"Ha, it's me. I didn't expect we'd meet in this kind of setting," Sakaki said with a smile, still dressed in a suit as always.

"Did Mr. Yang come here specifically because he is interested in Miss Lijia?"

“…No, I’m just here to join in the fun for a friend,” Yang Xiying shook her head. Now that Sakaki is here, it’s even harder for her to say.

Especially when they pressed him to the bottom and asked if he was there in place of Sabrina... Sabrina is an orphan adopted by the Rockets' leader!

Although Natsume said that "father" was just a metaphor, her knowledge of so many things about Sakaki suggests that their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

Therefore, I felt a lot of pressure showing Sakaki that I had a good relationship with Sabrina...

Although he had a feeling that the other side had already noticed this, after all, his whereabouts were being monitored by Team Rocket intelligence personnel.

They would report it at any time, and there was also Natsume, who had a close relationship with the Rockets, so he didn't specifically stop them.

He did need to see his parents, but the fact that they hadn't replied yet made him feel like he'd been given a suspended death sentence.

Explaining it to the other party now feels like a loss, like confessing to a mistake before they even realized it...

"...So, Mr. Sakaki, you couldn't stand the loneliness here either?" So we need to change the subject quickly.

"What are you saying, brat?" Sakaki glared at Yang Xiying. This guy was getting more and more into joking with him.

"I'm way past the age of romance, and I'm not necessarily here to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband."

“Our circle needs these kinds of events to exchange ideas. Just like you said, we’re here to join in the fun.”

"Besides, you already have a girl with you. You can't exactly say that she's also interested in Lijia and that's why she specifically participated in this matchmaking event, can you?"

"By the way, this young lady looks familiar. May I ask who Professor Oak and Blue are to you?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Nanami, which immediately surprised her.

“…Eh? Professor Oak is my grandfather, and Aoi is my younger brother. Hello, my name is Nanami, Mr. Giovanni.”

She responded instinctively, and also gave a brief self-introduction, to which Giovanni responded with a smile.

"Really? It seems I didn't misunderstand anything. Hello, Ms. Nanami, my name is Sakaki."

"—But judging from how you address me, you seem to know me somewhat."

"After all, Mr. Giovanni is a very famous Pokémon Trainer, and he is even the Gym Leader of Viridian City, which is very close to Pallet Town."

Nanami spoke with a smile; she had heard of Giovanni's name to some extent, and Giovanni continued to respond.

"But compared to Professor Oak, I am still insignificant, and speaking of Nanami, I am reminded of a famous trainer."

"I once won the championship at the Grand Festival held in the Hoenn region." The Grand Festival is a Pokémon beauty contest held in Hoenn.

Showcase the charm of Pokémon through various performances, and then use dazzling skills to win battles.

"And she is Professor Oak's granddaughter. In addition, his grandson is also a Pokémon trainer active in the Kanto region during this period."

"—I've even met you several times. Your family is full of talented people."

"Really? Thank you for the compliment," Nanami replied after a moment of surprise. It had been several years since she participated in the Grand Contest.

"And I hope my brother hasn't caused Mr. Sakaki any trouble," she said, her concern growing as she heard him mention her brother.

“Not at all, not at all, I still admire trainers who are both brave and resourceful,” Giovanni said with a smile.

That kid named Qinglv was both brave and resourceful in repeatedly thwarting his opportunities, and he was also in cahoots with Chihong.

The difference in strength is not significant, but he prefers Crimson to be the hero, while Green has something more suitable for him to accomplish.

"Is that so? That's good. If that kid causes any trouble for Mr. Sakaki, I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you."

Nanami spoke with a smile, while Yang Xiying, who was listening to the conversation, was already sweating profusely...

—It's hardly a normal greeting for Green to bump into Sakaki...

"Haha, Qinglu isn't that kind of child, so don't worry," Sakaki said with a smile, responding to the woman's concern for her younger brother.

“Besides, I won’t bother you two any longer,” Sakaki suddenly changed the subject, “I also need to say goodbye to the others.”

“Okay, goodbye Mr. Sakaki,” Yang Xiying and Nanami said goodbye to Sakaki, but the surrounding gazes had not diminished.

Sakaki is a celebrity, and celebrities attract attention wherever they go, so his flirting with Yang Xiying and Nanami also drew attention from others.

Incidentally, Yang Xiying and Nanami also attracted the curiosity and attention of those around them. Nanami was fine, but Yang Xiying was the main one.

—Who is this guy? He can joke around with Sakaki?!

Many of the people present knew Giovanni's other identity: the leader of Team Rocket. Such a person was very influential in their circle.

After all, the Rockets have a lot of leverage over them!

"As expected, Mr. Sakaki's influence is still very significant."

Nanami sighed, noticing the stares of those around her, though she wasn't nervous about it.

“Yes, after all, it’s Sakaki,” Yang Xiying nodded in response, and he wouldn’t panic over something like this.

After all, the person next is going to do something big, but there are also some people who are of interest to me.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Watari and Miss Tsubaki? Good evening."

So now it's time to show off and get to know more celebrities. After briefly saying goodbye to Nanami, he walked towards the two of them.

The two people were sitting in a corner of the venue, seemingly trying to keep a low profile, but their exaggerated outfits made it impossible for them to be inconspicuous.

It was a man and a woman. The man had bright red hair that stood up like a hedgehog, and his head was shaped like an M, just like Vegeta's.

He was dressed in a dark blue, tight-fitting outfit with orange stripes, and wore a cape. His face was also unusually dignified.

This is Wataru, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto Region Alliance. The person next to him is a woman wearing a similar style of bodysuit.

However, the bodysuit was blue, revealing her fair shoulders and full thighs, and she also wore a cape.

She had long, smooth blue hair, styled into a high ponytail, with her bangs parted in the middle and only a strand of hair covering the center of her forehead.

He had a handsome face and a very dashing air. His confident and dignified gaze was quite handsome, to the point that he seemed unapproachable.

She is Tsubaki! Tsubaki is the Gym Leader of Smoky City in the Johto region, which is next to Kanto, and Lance's cousin!

"Uh, you..." Adu and Xiaochun were both a little confused when Yang Xiying suddenly walked over.

The same goes for everyone else; this guy really dares to do that!

Wataru and Tsubaki, especially the former, are heavyweights in the Kanto region, so they naturally want to talk to them and build a good relationship.

But as powerful Pokémon trainers, they are not to be trifled with; their domineering aura keeps them at bay.

But this unfamiliar face, who got along so well with Sakaki, completely ignored that aura! Just who is this guy?!

"Um... do we know each other?" It's commendable that the other person managed to break through the aura and come over, but isn't this a bit too familiar?

Who are you?

"It's just a one-sided understanding. After all, Grandma Kikuko has also talked about your situation," Yang Xiying said with a smile.

—He has a reason that he can definitely strike up a conversation with the other person!

"And now we can get to know each other. My name is Yang Xiying, a Pokémon trainer who travels around the world."

"Grandma Kikuko?" "You're Yang Xiying?!"

Both A-Du and Xiao-Chun reacted to the stress, because what the other person said had indeed caught their attention.

Kikuko is an Elite Four Pokémon Trainer on par with Lance, so hearing about oneself from her is quite meaningful.

It could also be a conversation starter, but the other person later revealed their name... Yang Xiying, he'd heard that name before...

After all, the Lavender Town incident was not long ago, although it was said that Agatha Christie, together with the Saffron City Gym Leader and other psychic users, resolved the incident there.

However, when Grandma Akiko returned, she told us that the incident was actually solved mainly by a Pokémon Trainer who had traveled to Kanto.

His name is Yang Xiying, and he's a very promising Pokémon Trainer, but given his age, it seems he's hiding his identity...

In short, such a person is indeed worth talking to, and even my cousin had this reaction after hearing this name.

Xiao Chun stood up and moved closer to Yang Xiying, looking excited, which made the other person wonder if it was a mistake to speak to her.

"Yes, yes, but there's no need to get so excited. I won't run away," Yang Xiying said, feeling a little embarrassed. The body opposite him was moving forward, and the swaying of certain parts of the body almost blinded him.

"Ah, I'm sorry," Xiaochun realized she had been too excited, sat back down, and spoke slowly.

"I was just a little surprised after hearing about your deeds. I was wondering when Kanto produced a trainer like you."

"So you're a young master after all."

In her view, these kinds of people are all low-key experts, because only in this way can they do some shady things.
