I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

"Let's do this afternoon. It's not easy to book a flight to South City."

Li Qianqian gently stroked her smooth cheek and said with a smile.

Xia Zhihai nodded slightly and quietly booked a flight to the Magic City in the afternoon.

Time passed quickly, and it was not until late at night that Xia Zhihai got off the plane.

As one of the few large cities in China, Shanghai still has a constant flow of cars on the streets even late at night.

Add to that the brightly lit street lamps, neon lights, and the not infrequent pedestrians and elves on the streets...all of this together makes up this world-famous city that never sleeps!

That’s right, in this city in this world...Magic City, the truly wonderful life often doesn’t officially begin until after ten o’clock in the evening!

Because of this living habit, outsiders often jokingly call Shanghai the "Ghost City", believing that the residents here like to hide during the day and come out at night like a hundred ghosts parading at night.

“It’s such a unique place.”

Xia Zhihai whispered with a hint of emotion, but he had no intention of changing his biological clock to adapt to the local customs.

He came to the luxurious hotel that had been booked long ago in a low-key manner, took a bath first, and then prepared midnight snacks for the elves.

After finishing all this, the feeling of comfort and the subsequent sleepiness were intertwined.

After lying in bed for a while, Xia Zhihai's breathing became steady.

What he didn't know was that every time he fell asleep, the Vulcan Moth would automatically leave the Poké Ball and guard him by his bed.

The setting of the Poké Ball is determined by the trainer's trust level. If the trainer does not trust his Pokémon enough, the Pokémon will not be able to leave the Poké Ball on its own.

And here in the Summer Sea, the Poké Ball had never imposed any constraints on his beloved Pokémon.

"Budoo~" Vulcan Moth looked at Xia Zhihai tenderly and adjusted the indoor temperature habitually.

Soon, Xia Zhihai's sleeping environment became more comfortable, which helped him recover his energy.

At the same time, the Vulcan Moth is also practicing itself. It strives to refine its temperature control techniques and accumulate the power of both purple and white flames.

When the Summer Sea needs its strength, it will respond to the Summer Sea's expectations with all its strength!

However, the Vulcan Moth did not know that during the process of condensing the purple flame, the black pendant flickered, causing a barely perceptible black light to appear in the purple flame of the Vulcan Moth.

"Too weak... Not enough to protect the master... Get stronger quickly..." The pendant did not follow its nature of luring the elves into darkness, but instead seemed to selflessly help the Vulcan Moth become stronger.

If a doctor who has conducted in-depth research on the evolution of elves mega saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.

Because the defects in the Vulcan Moth's body that usually prevent Pokémon from mega-evolving for a long time are gradually being filled.

Once this flaw is gone, Vulcano will be able to mega evolve and degenerate freely, and thanks to Entei's gift, Vulcano will not need to rely on mega evolution stones.

If there really is a standard to measure luck in the world, then there is no doubt that the Vulcan Moth of the Summer Sea is the true "protagonist".

In comparison, Xia Zhihai, as a trainer, is in an awkward situation.

Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he was also targeted by this persistent pendant.

Perhaps when Xia Zhihai recalls this moment in the future, he will really grit his teeth.

Although having a powerful initial Pokémon means that the trainer can go further, such unfair treatment makes people feel that Xia Zhihai is a "tool man".

After arriving in the Magic City, Xia Zhihai did not make any other arrangements, but just quietly adjusted the conditions of the elves.

However, in the virtual world, within just seventy-two hours, with the help of Ye Qianjin, Xia Zhihai has become the focus of the entire network, but with a negative image.

After all, people are often lazy in thinking deeply, and with just a little guidance, they can easily be stimulated to vent their emotions.

A prejudice against Xia Zhihai quietly took shape.

Public opinion holds that Xia Zhihai has no real talent or knowledge, he is just a puppet controlled by capital, and all his achievements are gifts from the consortium behind the scenes.

Even without solid evidence, seeing a once admired genius fall is enough to satisfy some people.

In response to this situation, Xia's father, Xia's mother, Ye Xinan, Ling Bai Wenwen and others all called to inquire about Xia Zhihai's recent situation, but were cleverly comforted by Xia Zhihai.

"Next...it's time to show your strength and turn the tide."

On the day of the preliminary round, Xia Zhihai took a deep breath and glanced at the newly updated product catalog of the system store.

One glance at those precious props showed that they were beyond his current reach.

He shook his head gently, cleared his mind, put on a hat and mask, and set out on the road to the stadium.

Even as a competition venue for the screening stage, its scale is amazing.

"Please show me your entry credentials."

The front desk staff asked softly with a standard professional smile.

Xia Zhihai then took out an exquisite small box containing six badges and a certificate. He passed the verification smoothly without causing any waves or dramatic reversals.

Watching Xia Zhihai walking away, the front desk staff couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "He hasn't even collected all eight badges. It seems that the rumors on the Internet are not groundless..."

She casually posted a status on social media and attached a secretly taken photo, and a new storm of public opinion was about to brew on the Internet.

Most people blindly trust the vision of top figures, and they are more willing to seize on trivial flaws as fatal flaws and criticize them fiercely.

Little did they know that neither Xia Zhihai himself nor the Ye Group, which planned this public opinion storm, took their remarks seriously.

The ocean is magnificent and vast, but no one would admire it because of the tiny size of a drop of water.

"Contestant Xia Zhihai, please enter the venue within three minutes, otherwise it will be considered as a forfeit!"

The broadcast was broadcast three times in a row, and Xia Zhihai took off his hat and mask calmly.

He wore these only to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But on the field, Xia Zhihai never hides his identity, because it is his honor and his belief.

Soon, Xia Zhihai stepped onto the battlefield.

Before my eyes was a grand battle area and an even more spectacular auditorium that was packed with people.

"A water venue?"

Facing the competition venue that looked like a large swimming pool with only one foothold, Xia Zhihai curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Although the scene was quite entertaining, few people cheered or applauded for it.

"It's Xia Zhihai indeed. How dare he come here and ask for trouble!"

"Why bother so much? We just have a good show to watch."

"I heard that the Summer Sea has been abandoned, and even the Vulcan Moth has been taken back!"

Perhaps Xia Zhihai himself did not realize that the huge malice coming from the audience was being silently absorbed by the pendant.

"Should I... be grateful?"
