I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

"Come back, Metal Monster." Xia Zhihai summoned a red light and took Metal Monster back into the Poké Ball.

At this moment, An Liu had handed Miss Qun'er's Poké Ball to Xiao Wu for treatment, and took out a badge and walked towards Xia Zhihai, handing it to him. "This is your badge. You are indeed very capable and you are a very good trainer."

"It's okay." Xia Zhihai took the badge and smiled slightly.

The Lake City Gym badge is engraved with a lifelike Zalud, and its appearance is exquisite.

An Liu said with a smile on his face: "It's a pity that I couldn't compete with your Vulcan Moth today. I hope you can make the elf stronger as soon as possible. Maybe we can compete again in this year's national competition."

"National competition?" Xia Zhihai looked at An Liu in surprise and asked, "Are you going to participate too?"

"Of course, I am very interested in the national championship." An Liu nodded slightly.

"Tsk, looks like I need to improve my strength quickly. I feel like there are a lot of strong opponents in the national competition. I don't want to participate and not even make it to the top 16."

"By the way, which gym do you plan to challenge next?" An Liu asked Xia Zhihai about his plan.

"I plan to go home first, and then decide whether to go directly to Beicheng or go to Jiangcheng first and then to Beicheng." Xia Zhihai responded, stroking his chin and thinking for a while.

"Going to North City might be of great help to you." An Liu suggested.

Hearing this, Xia Zhihai became confused: "Beicheng? Why?"

"A new secret realm has recently appeared in the North City." An Liu said with some emotion. "You should know that in this new secret realm, the elves inside will enter a violent state, and this violent state will continue for a while. You can go and experience it. Although the secret realm is very dangerous, you are strong enough to protect yourself. The most important thing is to experience that environment, so that you will have a plan to deal with similar dangerous situations in the future."

"As your strength continues to improve, the difficulty of the secret realms you want to explore will become higher and higher, and the high-level secret realms are even more dangerous. It will definitely be beneficial for you to adapt to that environment in advance."

"Speaking of which..." An Liu said with melancholy, "Secret realms have appeared frequently recently. It's really hard to tell whether it's a blessing or a curse."

Xia Zhihai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then answered affirmatively: "I will consider it."

For trainers, in addition to fighting with human opponents, the challenges they can never avoid are the unknowns in secret places and wilderness. Unless they are trainers with little ambition for their careers, such trainers tend to live in cities and avoid dangerous places. However, Xia Zhihai is not like this. He has great ambitions and is unwilling to live a dull life.

"Okay, let's go, have lunch together and exchange contact information." An Liu suggested with a smile, "Maybe I need to consult you about the situation in Shennong Forest."

"Ok."

Xia Zhihai nodded in agreement, and the two exchanged contact information and enjoyed a hearty lunch before returning to their respective hotels. Xia Zhihai booked a flight for the day after tomorrow, and planned to spend today and tomorrow strolling around the city, shopping for some gifts for his parents at home, including Li Qianqian's parents, of course. This has been a habit he has developed for a long time.

Whenever Li Qianqian returns home from a trip, she always brings gifts for Xia Zhihai's parents, and Xia Zhihai is naturally not far behind. Xia Zhihai knows everything about what his parents and Li Qianqian's parents like, and although choosing gifts is easy for him, it still takes a lot of time. In addition to shopping, he also leisurely toured the scenery of the lake city, tasted local food, and took many photos to share on WeChat Moments, which received many likes.

It was not until the last day that Xia Zhihai boarded the return flight. Sitting in the comfortable first-class cabin, he checked the list of products in the system mall with a slight movement of his mind.

[Wishing Star Fragment: Price: 1 million Elf Coins]

[Blue Light Fruit Seeds x5: Price: Elf Coins]

[Almighty Cultivator: Price: 1 million Elf Coins]

"Wow, these are all rare items!" Xia Zhihai looked at the refreshed product catalog, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The role of the Wishing Star fragments needs no elaboration. The fragments given to the Vulcan Moth before have quietly caused some changes to the Vulcan Moth, although they are not very obvious...

Its size has now grown by about five centimeters compared to before, and it would be almost imperceptible if Xia Zhihai hadn't measured it frequently.

The blue fruit seeds are a rare resource. Once they are planted and mature, they produce blue fruit, which can be used to make special edition Poké Balls. They are extremely rare in the market, with very little annual production, and they are sold out as soon as they are launched.

Five seeds mean that five trees can be planted. If one day a master who is proficient in making Poké Balls can be found to cooperate with, the special Poké Balls produced every year can be used for personal use and sold for profit. More importantly, they can also be used as hard currency to exchange for other resources, but a certain quantity advantage is required.

As for the last all-round cultivator, its function is similar to that of a strength bracelet. It will bring a heavy burden when carried, significantly reducing the speed of the elf, but at the same time it will also make the growth rate of the elf's attributes in all aspects faster than usual.

Unlike the strength bracelet, it can comprehensively improve various attributes, and is more convenient and practical. Xia Zhihai decided not to rush to buy it and wait for the right time.

Just at this moment, a voice came to my ears.

"Trainer Natsumi?"

"Hmm?" Xia Zhihai turned around and saw a girl wearing sunglasses and a mask. Her facial features were completely covered. She was wearing denim shorts and a pink T-shirt, and she looked very elegant. "You are...?"

"My name is Fang Yining." The girl took off her glasses and winked at Xia Zhihai playfully. It was obvious that she had a lively and cheerful personality.

"Fang Yining?" Xia Zhihai thought for a moment, then said in astonishment, "It turns out to be you, the big star!"

Fang Yining, this name represents a star-studded celebrity trainer in this world. She is not only a trainer, but also a career-maker in the entertainment industry, participating in the filming of movies and TV series, and is currently very popular.

How can a big star know himself?

"Hey, Trainer Xia Zhihai, I've watched all your videos in the Trial Competition. You're really strong. Can you take a photo with me?" Fang Yining took out her cell phone and asked with a smile.

Xia Zhihai understood immediately after hearing this.

Is this an attempt to attract attention?

With the status of a rookie trainer, he has a king-level spirit. This alone is enough to attract many people and reporters to pay close attention to his movements. Therefore, his popularity on the Internet has not subsided. However, this is the first time for Xia Zhihai to encounter such a situation.

Xia Zhihai smiled and responded without hesitation: "Of course, can you send me a copy of the photo after we take it?"

Faced with attempts to ride on the popularity of others, Xia Zhihai remains calm.
