I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

Before arriving in Lake City, Xia Zhihai had looked up the information about this owner. An Liu returned to human society at the age of eighteen. He was abandoned in the wild by his parents when he was a baby and should not have survived, but fortunately he was found by a Salud and raised as his own child.

As an ancient ape-like spirit, Salud will occasionally take human babies with them and take care of them like real parents.

Anliu is such a human being who was raised by Salud. When he finally returned to human society, out of concern for his safety, Salud, as his "parent", chose to become his elf companion and return to modern society together.

Two, yes, two Saluds.

Therefore, the strength of this Lake City gym leader is considered to be top-notch among all gym leaders, because the strength of those two Saluds is very strong.

There is no doubt that Xia Zhihai's strength level is still unclear, but it has undoubtedly reached the peak level of the Heavenly King level. This opportunity is indeed enviable, but it can only remain at the stage of envy.

After stepping out of the cabin, he took a taxi and went straight to a luxurious fairy-themed hotel he had booked in the center of Lake City. A waiter led him into his room.

The decoration style of the room is different from the previous one, but it is also warm and comfortable. In addition to modern facilities such as TV and computer, there is also a daily updated Hucheng newspaper placed at the head of the bed.

After bathing, he released his elf companion. Xia Zhihai, who had just arrived in Lake City, did not rush to challenge the gym or deal with other matters. Instead, he lay on the bed leisurely and picked up the newspaper on the bedside table to read. Although newspapers are a bit traditional as a carrier of information, many older people are still keen to read them. Influenced by his father, Xia Zhihai occasionally immerses himself in this reading experience.

However, as soon as he opened the newspaper, Xia Zhihai was stunned. A news headline caught his attention.

[Mysterious crisis? An unknown entity appears in Shennong Forest, expelling all who enter! ]

He read along with the title, his eyes full of curiosity. After a few minutes, Xia Zhihai roughly understood the content of the entire report.

Although Shennong Forest belongs to Lake City, it is actually quite far from Lake City and takes a whole day to walk. Originally, this forest was an excellent training place for trainers. Because it was once integrated with a secret realm, the forest is rich in resources. Although the Pokémon in it are powerful, most of them are grass-type and gentle in temperament. As long as you don't go too deep or deliberately provoke, you won't encounter too much danger. Many trainers can even gain something from it.

But since last week, all trainers who tried to enter Shennong Forest were instantly sent out of the forest by an unknown force the moment they stepped into the forest. It is suspected that it was caused by the "teleportation" skill of Psychic Pokémon. Some lucky ones were directly sent to Lake City, while the unlucky ones disappeared and their life and death were unknown. Since then, almost no one dared to approach Shennong Forest anymore.

The Elf Alliance headquarters in Lake City is preparing to send people to investigate the incident.

"It's really interesting." Xia Zhihai curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile, and became very interested in the conditions of Shennong Forest.

In this situation, there are usually two possibilities: one is that an extremely powerful Pokémon has appeared in the forest, and it regards Shennong Forest as its territory and has a strong sense of territory. The vast Shennong Forest and the wide variety of Pokémon species naturally attract such beings. If this is true, the strength of that Pokémon is probably amazing... Many trainers break in every day, and they can all be teleported away in an instant, which shows how terrifying its power is.

Another possibility is that this is related to some legendary elves, and they do not welcome human disturbance. Of course, this is just Xia Zhihai's speculation, and there may be other explanations for the actual situation.

Xia Zhihai was very interested in the changes in Shennong Forest, but he was not in a hurry to act. He planned to explore it after challenging the gym. Although there were many dangers, there were often opportunities in danger. Besides, the elf seemed to just reject humans and had no intention of harming them. In addition, with the Vulcan Moth in charge, as long as Xia Zhihai's luck was not too bad, being teleported to a deserted and dangerous place should not be a big problem. What's more, although his ultrasonic larvae were not as good as desert dragonflies, they could barely carry people for a distance.

After reading the newspaper, Xia Zhihai got up from the bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. From his high vantage point, he could vaguely see the forest outside the city, although the view was blurry.

Suddenly, he felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him from afar, which made him shudder. "Is it an illusion?" The feeling of being watched was fleeting.

Everything returned to normal. Xia Zhihai scratched his head in confusion, turned and left the floor-to-ceiling window, preparing to go out for dinner.

"Mom, I'm not in Rongcheng now. I've already arrived in Hucheng."

"Don't worry, food, drink and clothing are all arranged perfectly, absolutely first-class!"

"okay."

"What? My dad really got a high-quality ghost-type Pokémon?"

"Okay, I'll go home after I finish my business in Lake City, but Mom, can't you tell me what Pokémon it is in advance?"

"Okay, your dad said he wanted to give me a surprise, so I'll keep this expectation and go home to take a look. Don't worry, I will bring gifts for you two."

In the restaurant, Xia Zhihai was enjoying delicious food while talking on the phone. After hanging up, he couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming surprise.

Although it is not clear what kind of ghost Pokémon his father prepared for him, it should not be bad. After all, although his father was not a professional trainer, he lived in an era where almost everyone was concerned about Pokémon-related things. Even the elderly could not avoid the topic of Pokémon in their daily conversations. In this environment, people have a deep understanding of the pros and cons of various Pokémon.

My own father is naturally no exception. Besides, this is a gift from him to myself, so I expect that he will be generous in choosing it and will not be stingy at all.

"Forget it, I'll know what Pokémon it is when I get back." Xia Zhihai shook his head, stopped worrying about it, and concentrated on eating.

After dinner, Xia Zhihai returned to the hotel and continued to teach the elves new moves.

The rogue panda has not yet mastered the "finger gun" quickly, but Xia Zhihai is not impatient. The learning progress of the metal monster and the ultrasonic larva is more worthy of attention.

Metal monsters need to practice the basic moves of steel and psychic types; Sonic larvae need to learn steel wings, dragon tail and defensive holding moves. This holding move is quite challenging for non-normal Pokémons and takes a long time to learn, but it is one of the necessary skills.

After arriving in Lake City for the first time and spending a whole day training with the Pokémons in the hotel, Xia Zhihai headed to the Lake City Gym with the Poké Ball the next morning.
