I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"I got the Zero Water Gym badge!"

Li Ran was holding a teardrop-shaped medal in his hand. The owner of the Zero Water Gym was a top-notch beauty. With her cool outfit, she was like an idol in the city.

It was just like what Lin Shuangjun requested, and she also held an exhibition match, but it was more of an opportunity for her to show her personal charm than an exhibition match.

Although he was in battle, he was being stared at by a pair of murderous eyes, as if they wished they could appear on the battlefield in his place.

"We only need one last badge, and then we can go home."

"Sora~"

Gardevoir also shook its body happily, and was looking forward to going home.

Suddenly a little head bumped into Li Ran. He cried "Ouch" and lowered his head to look at the boy who was covering his head.

"Are you OK?"

The boy was obviously a little confused, and it took him a while to recover. Li Ran looked at him and saw many flyers scattered on the ground. He quickly squatted down to help pick them up.

But when he saw the content on the flyer, he was stunned.

"Recruitment for the first gorgeous competition?"

If he remembered correctly, he had looked up the Gorgeous Competition when he first arrived in this world, but there was no relevant information at all. How come a Gorgeous Competition was suddenly held?

"Brother, are you going to participate in the gorgeous competition?"

The boy watched him staring at the contents on the paper, then timidly picked up a piece and handed it to Li Ran. This was his first time helping his mother distribute flyers, so he was a little dizzy and bumped into Li Ran.

Fortunately, the other person was not very bad-tempered and instead helped him pick up the flyers.

"Ah... no..."

Suddenly Li Ran noticed the prize announcement on the flyer.

First place: Dragon blood*1

Second place: Grass skill fruit*1, Grass stone*5

Third place: Water skill fruit*1, boxing gloves*1

"How to sign up?"

Li Ran's attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant. These rewards were not cheap, especially the first place dragon blood, which was exactly what Xiaolong needed most at the moment.

After entering the master level, Xiaolong's strength improvement became slow. If he could use dragon blood to further sublimate Xiaolong's blood, it would definitely be a good thing for Xiaolong.

"Because this is the first session, all you have to do is take the flyers to Linghua Hall."

"Then I want one."

Li Ran nodded and took the flyer in his hand, but what puzzled him was that the slightly blurred figure in the background of the flyer made him feel inexplicably confused.

I don't know if it was his imagination.

"Linghua Pavilion... should be here, right?"

Li Ran followed the map instructions on the lower right corner of the flyer and came to an extremely gorgeous building, but there was a smell of fresh paint, so it must have been built recently.

Seeing the people around him wearing brightly colored clothes, he quietly walked in with the flyer.

The moment he entered, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that many people were looking at him and whispering.

"Gardevoir, they should be looking at you, right?"

Li Ran realized something and said to Gardevoir beside him.

"Sora..."

Gardevoir shook his head and pointed to a large screen in the distance. Li Ran looked at it subconsciously and then he was petrified on the spot.

What was being played on the screen was the battle between Kirlia and Zapdos when he participated in the gym exchange competition.

That time, he suddenly had the urge to try something fancy, but he was secretly recorded and used as a promotional video for the first gorgeous competition.

Not buddy.

This is pure social suicidal behavior!

Now he finally understood why everyone looked at him so strangely. It turned out that he also experienced the thrill of being a star.

"Where is your host?"

Li Ran ran to the registration desk at the front desk. Although the fight was exciting, it was a bit childish. It was okay if he watched it by himself, but since it was put on the big screen, he still tried to save his face.

"Ah! You are contestant Li Ran!"

The receptionist's first reaction when she saw Li Ran was surprise, and she quickly stood up and said.

"Um...can I meet your organizer? Take the image off the big screen for me...how can you project me onto the screen without my permission?"

Li Ran's face turned slightly red. This was simply dragging him out and whipping his corpse repeatedly.

"Ah? I think this is not possible. We have discussed this with the Elf Association and paid you a corresponding fee... You should know this... right?"

The lady at the front desk looked at Li Ran's changing expression and her tone became less certain.

Li Ran took out the atlas and checked the balance. A sum of money was indeed deposited into his account a month ago. He then called Feng Ke directly.

Feng Ke's reply to him was that when one becomes a trainer of the Pokémon Association, one is given a business contract, and as long as it can promote the trainers' behavior, he can cooperate in some activities.

"But you also know that there were too many things going on recently, so I forgot to tell you about this."

"..."

The corner of his mouth twitched violently, but when he saw the two million elf coins, he swallowed the social death and comforted himself.

Well, this is all for the sake of promoting the trainer, so I'll just have to bear with it.

"Um...Contestant Li Ran, do you have anything else to say?"

The lady at the front desk saw people still queuing behind him and spoke nervously.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, could you please help me register? I also want to participate in this gorgeous competition."

After saying that, Li Ran took out the crumpled flyer.

"That's great, I'll help you register right away!"

The lady at the front desk's eyes lit up. Wouldn't it be more interesting if the publicity staff came to participate in the competition!

"Here is your entry card. The trials will officially begin at 12 o'clock tomorrow. Please enter on time."

He took the card, which was about the same size as his ID card in his previous life. There was a ribbon pattern in the middle of the card, and below it was Li Ran’s own identity information.

"Ok."

Li Ran walked out of the venue with his chin in his hand, thinking about the preliminaries.

The preliminary round of the gorgeous contest is a joint performance between trainers and Pokémons, showing the beauty and charm of the Pokémons themselves in front of the audience and judges.

Only after passing the preliminaries can you participate in a gorgeous battle, and the battle mode is also different from the ordinary battle. When fighting, you must maintain the charm of the elf.

When all points of one side are deducted, the player is deemed the loser.
