I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

“It’s absolutely brilliant.”

As soon as I walked out of the contestant channel, Jin Ke came towards me and was full of praise.

"It's okay, Wang Xiaoguo's Charizard is also very powerful." Xia Zhihai responded with a smile.

"Come on, it's obviously your crushing victory." Wang Xiaoguo next to him also walked out of the contestant channel, and rolled his eyes when he heard what Xia Zhihai said.

A few people walked towards the rest area and sat down while chatting.

At this time, a staff member came forward with several manuals in his hand. He handed one to each of Xia Zhihai and the others and explained, "Dear contestants, today's competition has not yet ended, but tomorrow's champion will be chosen from all the current contestants. This manual lists the elf rewards that the champion can choose. You can take a look at it in advance and think about it."

"Ok?"

Xia Zhihai took the manual, opened it and read it with a look of surprise on his face.

The manual was short, with only four pages, which meant that he could only choose one of the four elves. He flipped through the pages one by one.

The first page shows the previously announced Vulpix from the Far North, which is snow-white and very adorable.

The second page shows a Charmander in its initial form. Like Vulpix, one of its parents is a king-level elf, which means it has excellent qualifications. After all, as a Pokémon awarded as a champion of the Trial Contest, its qualifications must be guaranteed. This is also the primary condition for the Pokémon awarded as a champion of the Trial Contest. Only if one of its parents is a king-level Pokémon can it be included in the reward list.

What appears on the third page is a natural bird.

The last fourth page made Xia Zhihai's eyes light up.

The elf recorded on page 4 turned out to be a giant jaw ant.

Although the word "ant" is in its name, it is not of the insect attribute but of the ground attribute. Its racial value is quite considerable, and the evolved Desert Dragonfly is worthy of careful cultivation.

And this giant mandible ant, like the previous elves, has one of its parents as a king-level warrior. The most important point is that the desert dragonfly evolved from the giant mandible ant can fly as a mount. Although the flying height is limited, it is already quite good as a mount. Its attributes are also remarkable.

However, there was one point that made Xia Zhihai hesitate.

That is, the Desert Dragonfly is four times weak to ice attributes and is easily suppressed by ice skills.

Even so, after comparing with the other three elves, Xia Zhihai's favorite choice is still the Giant Jaw Ant.

Although the other Pokémons also have their own strengths, in his opinion, Vulpix and Tenshi are slightly inferior to the Ant-Mandible, and neither of them has the function of a flying vehicle.

As for Charmander, although it can eventually evolve into a flying mount, given that Xia Zhihai currently has no plans to cultivate more fire-attribute Pokémon - after all, already having one Vulcan Moth is enough - two fire Pokémons can easily become targets of opponents in future national competitions, and there may be contestants carrying king-level Pokémons by then.

After careful consideration, Xia Zhihai put away the manual in his hand.

Jin Ke next to him asked, "Which one do you prefer?"

Xia Zhihai hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm considering between the Mandible Ant and the Vulpix." In fact, he wanted to have both, but this was obviously impossible. He could only choose the one that best suited him and his future journey. After all, in this life, Xia Zhihai would never be limited to training only six elves. In the future, he would have plenty of time to capture the elves he liked.

"The Jaw Ant and the Vulpix are indeed two good choices." Jin Ke nodded in agreement.

The three of them talked, and time passed quietly in this chat.

Xia Zhihai's second game is coming soon. If he wins, he will advance directly to the finals. If he loses, he will have to fight again.

This time, Xia Zhihai's opponent was Jin Ke. Xia Zhihai successfully eliminated him, making Jin Ke miss the next competition and could only compete for the third or fourth place.

After the last game of the day ended, Xia Zhihai did not rush to leave, but waited for Ye Ranran to leave together.

Ye Ranran also achieved two consecutive victories, and her second round opponent is Wang Xiaoguo.

At the end of the game, Xia Zhihai and Ye Ranran met, and their topic turned to the energy cube.

Ye Ranran suggested: "If necessary, you can consider handing over the energy cube to my company for operation. At that time, we will only charge a reasonable fee, and your interests will not be reduced at all."

Xia Zhihai smiled and shook his head in response: "I will consider this proposal."

He knew that every word Ye Ranran said was true.

The commercial value behind the Energy Cube is certainly huge, and the Elf Ball Group covets it, but what they value more is that through cooperation, the Elf Ball can utilize the efficiency of the Energy Cube, thereby consolidating and improving the position of their own group on a global scale. This is the real intention of the Elf Ball Group.

Of course, even so, if Xia Zhihai really wants to hand over the operation rights of the energy cube to the Poké Ball Group, the group will naturally put forward various fee requirements including labor costs, channel fees, etc.

Ye Ranran continued, "As long as you have made up your mind, you can contact me at any time. In addition, if you have enough energy cubes stored now, you can send 3,000 energy cubes to the address yesterday when you go back, and I will transfer the corresponding amount to you."

Xia Zhihai responded readily: "Okay, no problem."

Three thousand energy cubes meant three million Elf Coins. Excluding the cost of purchasing tree fruits, Xia Zhihai could still make a net profit of several million.

"Well, see you tomorrow." After Ye Ranran said this, she turned around and left in a luxury car accompanied by her butler.

Looking at Ye Ranran's receding figure, Xia Zhihai couldn't help but sigh, then got on his shared bicycle and went home.

At home, it is still early in the night.

After Xia Zhihai gave his rogue panda "Haiyan" a careful bath and a medicinal bath, he began to produce energy cubes in large quantities.

With great proficiency, Xia Zhihai ensured that the materials were fully utilized and the production speed was very fast.

He continued to make them for two hours after dinner. Together with the energy cube stock accumulated in the previous few days, the total number reached three thousand. Xia Zhihai then called the courier to send them all out.

At the same time, he also specifically told Ye Ranran about how to preserve the energy cubes and other matters.

Finally, three million elf coins arrived successfully, making Xia Zhihai very happy.
