Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

imperial capital.

In the lounge.

Xia Yu finally met Zhao Zhigang. Compared with the last time they met on the battlefield, Zhao Zhigang looked much more haggard after not seeing him for more than half a month.

Xia Yu's eyes fell on Zhao Zhigang.

Judging from his appearance alone, Zhao Zhigang is really an extremely ordinary person.

He was wearing ordinary clothes and long pants, had a serious expression, a face full of wrinkles, and gray hair at the temples.

The years have left traces of vicissitudes on him, and time has aged his face. He is just an inconspicuous passerby in the crowd.

"Uncle Zhao, long time no see." Xia Yu said.

"Xia Yu, long time no see." Zhao Zhigang looked at the young Xia Yu, his eyes flashing, and a hoarse and vicissitudes voice sounded.

Listening to Zhao Zhigang's voice, Xia Yu moved closer to Zhao Zhigang, lowered his voice, and said, "Uncle Zhao, if you are free, come and chat after the shooting."

Zhao Zhigang listened to Xia Yu's words, his face darkened slightly, and he looked at Xia Yu with a frown.

Xia Yu had already distanced himself from Zhao Zhigang and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, I'm looking forward to fighting with you."

…………

The shooting time was not very long.

Two hours later, at 11 o'clock in the morning, the shooting of the trailer was completed.

After finishing the shooting, Xia Yu also walked towards Zhao Zhigang with a smile: "Let's go to the lounge to chat?"

Zhao Zhigang's eyes fell on Xia Yu, his brows furrowed, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, and walked towards the lounge with Xia Yu.

On the other side, Chi Hanqing and Eve, who had been paying attention to the two of them, also came over.

"Click!" Chi Hanqing, who was walking at the end, gently closed the door of the backstage lounge.

"Long story short." Xia Yu looked at Zhao Zhigang and said slowly: "I believe that many people have contacted you to ask about your two Pokémon. I will say it straight, our giant laboratory is also very interested in the origins of those two Pokémon."

"I don't know what conditions others have offered you, but you can listen to our conditions and compare prices."

"This is Chi Hanqing, the deputy director of our laboratory. She has full authority to represent the Giant Laboratory. If you have any needs, please ask her."

"Han Qing, tell Uncle Zhao about our offer."

…………

A few minutes later.

The door to the lounge opened and the three of them walked out of the laboratory together.

"Remember to keep in touch. You can think about it carefully when you get back." Xia Yu looked at Zhao Zhigang and spoke slowly.

"Okay, I'll consider it seriously." Zhao Zhigang looked at Xia Yu and Chi Hanqing beside him and nodded in response.

…………

After saying goodbye to Zhao Zhigang, Xia Yu and his group left the Pokémon Association and drove back to the giant laboratory.

"Do you think... he will agree to our conditions?" Xia Yu looked at Chi Hanqing and said.

"Absolutely not." Chi Hanqing said directly.

Eve on the side also spoke seriously: "I quietly explored his thoughts, but I only felt that he was full of resistance and suspicion towards us."

"We can only think of other ways." Xia Yu said, then turned to look out the window.

A bad start.

"Xia Yu..." At this time, Chi Hanqing on the side suddenly spoke: "The secrets behind those two Pokémon are very important to you?"

Xia Yu nodded and said, "It's very important. I can say that the secrets behind those two Pokémon are as important as Mega Evolution and Dynamax."

Chi Hanqing listened to Xia Yu's words and frowned: "I actually have a way, you can try it."

Listening to Chi Hanqing's words, Xia Yu frowned: "What method do you plan to use... to deal with Zhao Zhigang?"

"Instead of us actively looking for him to cooperate, we might as well wait for him to come to us for cooperation." Chi Hanqing said, "But you have to be prepared to offend some people."

Xia Yu frowned and looked at Chi Hanqing, not sure what she was thinking.

imperial capital.

Arceus Center.

The final of the gym owner ranking competition is about to begin.

This game is of great significance.

It not only determines who is the strongest dragon-type gym leader trainer in the Imperial Capital between Xia Yu and Zhao Zhigang, but also determines the ownership of the Dragon-type gym leader in the Imperial Capital.

The Arceus Center, which could accommodate 100,000 people, was already overcrowded at this time.

In the audience, enthusiastic fans held up banners and posters of the two contestants and cheered.

Inside the venue, as the camera zooms in, you can see many familiar faces in the audience.

Almost all the museum owners in the imperial capital were present, and even many of the Four Heavenly Kings from various places came, including the newly promoted North China Four Heavenly Kings Xu Shanhe and others.

Outside the venue, some enthusiastic fans and spectators who failed to get tickets gathered at Arceus Square outside the venue to watch the live broadcast and the game together.

"Dear audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to watch the Imperial Capital Dragon Gym Leader Ranking Finals. I am Li Xinhai, the commentator of this game."

"Hello everyone, I am Yan Ruyu, the commentator for this game."

Commentators Li Xinhai and Yan Ruyu appeared on the huge screen, smiling and waving their hands to greet the audience.

"The Gym Leader Ranking Tournament, which has lasted for more than a month, will also come to an end today. I believe everyone has been looking forward to this match."

"Not only the audience, Xiaoyu and I have also been looking forward to tonight's showdown."

"After all, the 55-year-old veteran Zhao Zhigang won the championship."

"As the great roc rises with the wind, it soars up to 90,000 miles. Xia Yu, the champion of the last College Cup, continues to write his legend and becomes the youngest gym leader in the history of the Imperial Capital!"

"let us wait and see!"

…………

As the commentary ended, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, causing exclamations to erupt from the audience.

The narration began, echoing throughout the venue.

"My name is Zhao Zhigang..."

"Since I won the semi-finals, many people have said that I am the light of the common people, the common people's god of war..."

"But those who are familiar with me know that this is my eighth time participating in the Gym Leader Rank Competition..."

"I am fifty-five years old this year..."

"And my opponent, Xia Yu, is only twenty years old this year..."

“For the first time, I felt that I was old…”

As the narration sounded, Zhao Zhigang's young face appeared on the huge screen. It was a photo of him when he first participated in the gym owner qualifying competition.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him in that competition, and apart from a photo, there was no other highlight moment to show off.

The scene changed and returned to Zhao Zhigang's current old appearance.

"When I was little, I dreamed of... becoming a dragon champion."

"Because I like mysterious and powerful dragon-type Pokémon..."

"But when I actually became a trainer, I realized...how difficult it is to become a dragon champion."

"The owner of the museum alone... has been blocking my way for thirty years."
