Pokémon God Bless Elvis Presley

the next day

Awards ceremony

"The next ones we invite are the two champions of this rookie competition, Yiyou and Xiuling!"

bang bang bang bang bang

There was thunderous applause in the competition hall.

Although there were far fewer people coming to the competition venue today due to the awards ceremony, there were also many spectators who liked the contestants who came to congratulate them.

Zhang You and Xiuling walked out of the preparation tunnel side by side. What made Zhang You feel embarrassed was that he was a little shorter than the "big sister" next to him.

Xiuling's height was visually estimated to be about 1.7 meters, while Zhang You, who was originally only 1.68 meters tall in this world, now felt a little embarrassed.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm only fifteen years old

A thirty-year-old man comforted himself secretly.

"Congratulations."

Mr. Wada, who was the award guest today, wore a standard professional smile and handed two small trophies that looked like crystal materials to Zhang You and Xiuling who were already on the podium.

When Zhang You received the trophy, he bowed slightly to Mr. Wada with a slightly apologetic look in his eyes.

As soon as the game ended yesterday, Zhang You met Mr. Wada and expressed his apology to Mr. Wada for not being able to win the championship perfectly. However, Mr. Wada waved his hand completely nonchalantly and asked Zhang You to find him the next day.

Mr. Wada smiled slightly.

Zhang You and Xiuling raised the trophy in an official manner at the same time to accept the congratulations from everyone.

"Don't leave for a while, I have something to ask you."

Xiuling said softly.

Zhang You was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"The first newcomer competition has come to a successful conclusion. See you next time."

"Wow! The grand champion is back. Have you got the bonus?"

As soon as the little girl Xia Xue saw Zhang You coming out of the competition hall, she immediately pounced on him. Zhang You was so frightened that he subconsciously pushed him back a step.

"No, the bonus is all in the account."

Zhang You also had a rare moment of pride and waved the communicator in front of Xia Xue.

"Then should we go somewhere to celebrate?"

Zhang You saw the shining stars in Xia Xue's eyes

"Okay, but I have something to do for now, so I'll go later."

"Okay——! Then I will log off first and come online to find you later."

"Well, go ahead."

Watching Xia Xue jump away, Zhang You suddenly thought that Xia Xue must have just graduated this year, so she could be online at any time so easily.

After all, universal education in this world only ends at the age of fifteen. Whether you want to continue studying depends entirely on your personal wishes.

Xia Xue is obviously the type who doesn't want to study further.

"Ichiyu."

A call not far away interrupted Zhang You's thinking.

Xiuling had just come out of the competition hall and saw Zhang You stunned at the door and stopped him.

Seeing Zhang You subconsciously put on a polite smile, Xiuling didn't care. She just smiled politely and said, "Thank you for finally agreeing to my request."

"It's okay, you and Rattata are both very strong."

The conversation ended and the atmosphere between the two became awkward.

"Uh, um, have you participated in the gym competition?"

Zhang You smiled awkwardly and looked for a topic.

"Well, I have already challenged the Nibi City Gym."

Xiuling also complied and relieved the little embarrassment in her heart. After all, she took the initiative to say thank you, but she really didn't think about what to say after saying thank you.

"So, you have two elves?"

The competition rule at the Nibi City Gym is 2v2, and due to this rule, Zhang You has not been able to challenge it until now.

Zhang You's plan is to challenge the second elf around here if he can. If he can't, forget it. After all, there are other gyms in the Kanto area. It won't be too late to come back and challenge.

"Well, Rattata is my initial elf, and it's the second elf."

As she spoke, Xiuling took off a Poké Ball from her waist.

With a flash of red light, an orange-red dinosaur-shaped elf appeared in front of Zhang You's eyes, with flames coming from its tail.

!!!!

Zhang You's eyes widened, and an indescribable feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred rolled in his heart.

It’s actually Charmander!!!

It’s better to accept it! Accept it!

"What's wrong?" Xiuling raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw that Zhang You was a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, it's okay. This little fire dragon is pretty good."

Zhang You also realized his gaffe, put his fist in front of his mouth, coughed awkwardly, and then forcefully explained.

That's Charmander! One of the little elves I want to conquer the most!

Thinking about how majestic Zhi Ye's fire-breathing dragon was back then, when Zhang You came to this game, he also thought about conquering one no matter what.

However, it seems that it is impossible for the time being. After all, the number of Yusanjia is too rare.

Zhang You's behavior of once again recognizing the elf without a illustrated book still made Xiuling slightly stunned, and then she looked at Zhang You in confusion.

"I will go to other places next and add communication methods."

Faced with Xiuling's request, Zhang You couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then took out the communicator in his bag and exchanged contact information with Xiuling.

"Contact me if you need anything."

Xiuling put away the confused Charmander.

"Okay, pay attention to safety along the way."

The long red hair turned and left with Xiuling, swinging slightly in the air.

The next step is to find Mr. Wada.

Zhang You took a deep breath and walked towards the place agreed with Mr. Hotan.

“Have you ever considered joining some organizations?”

After a while of pleasantries, Mr. Wada asked with some intention.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhang You answered truthfully. "The main reason is that after joining the organization, my freedom is too restricted, and I don't like to be restricted."

As if expecting Zhang You to answer like this, Mr. Wada smiled leisurely and took a sip of tea.

"Are you going to participate in the league competition?"

"Well, that's why I need to hide outside and travel to practice."

"What if you only need to stay in an organization for two months, and then you can arrange the time yourself?"

Zhang You was silent for a while, then asked with a smile and "pretending to be stupid".

"That also depends on what organization it is."

"Haha, you kid."

Mr. Wada smiled softly and then shook his head.

"The Frozen Bird Company has a new training department that specializes in recruiting talented new trainers."

Why does a company recruit new trainers?

Zhang You frowned in confusion.

Seemingly sensing Zhang You's doubts, Mr. Wada continued slowly: "The operation of our companies also requires strong trainers, and we cannot become strong just by relying on business wars."

In fact, Mr. Wada has made it very clear. From the training of new trainers, to the strong trainers who finally grow up, they have their own backgrounds, and they will more or less support the company's operations, both nominally and emotionally.

One strong trainer may not be able to change anything, but once there are more of these trainers, they will become a strong background strength for the company.

And Mr. Wada obviously took a fancy to Zhang You's talent.

Looking at Zhang You who was still hesitant to speak, Mr. Wada's expression remained unchanged.

"It doesn't matter. You can think about it slowly. This invitation is valid for one year. You can just contact me anytime you want to come."

Zhang You then smiled and nodded.

"Oh, right."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Mr. Wada stopped talking about the invitation.

"I remember that there was a pretty good duck in the Viridian Forest. He sat in a fixed place every day. For a week, many people tried to conquer him, but he rejected him."

"You can try your luck."

Seeing Mr. Wada's half-smiling expression, Zhang You felt nervous.

Up to duck?

Zhang You thought of the duck that stupidly handed him the fruit it was protecting with its life.

Could it be that it is waiting for itself?
