Pokémon: Gyarados Evolution

In the sea east of Fighting Island, a huge Gyarados was moving fast on the sea.

Its huge body broke through the waves, splashing white waves.

On its head, Jon stood steadily, looking at the navigator in his hand intently.

"We're almost there." Jon whispered to himself.

After two and a half hours of high-speed driving, a lot of sweat flowed down the forehead of Gyarados.

However, its speed did not slow down at all, and it still maintained a strong power and bravely moved towards its destination.

A few days ago, a phone call broke Jon's peaceful life.

It was Yashida on the other end of the phone. I don't know who leaked the news, so Yashida learned about Jon's whereabouts, so Jon now had this trip to the Development Club.

After all, Jon had taken a lot of benefits from others before, and he was still a reserve member, so facing Yashida's invitation, he was really embarrassed to refuse.

Soon, a small island appeared in Jon's sight. He immediately took out a telescope from his backpack and carefully observed the situation of the island.

At the highest point of the island, there was a not-so-tall building standing there. The exterior of the building was sprayed with white paint, which was particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.

Arriving at the dock, as if someone had monitored Jon's arrival in advance, a red sports car came rushing like lightning.

In the driver's seat of the car sat a fat man wearing a blue patterned short-sleeved shirt and sunglasses.

This man was Yashida. As soon as he saw Jon, he laughed, got out of the car quickly, and walked towards Jon enthusiastically.

"Jon, you're finally here." Yashida said with a smile on his face, and at the same time stretched out his hand, ready to shake hands with Jon.

Jon also replied politely, then stretched out his hand and shook him tightly.

"As a reserve member of the Pioneer Club, you haven't come to report for so long, and I have to invite you here in person. To be honest, Jon, you are the first one who has troubled me so much in these years."

Ashida said jokingly, but there was no sign of anger on his face.

Jon touched his head embarrassedly and responded with a smile:

"I'm really sorry, I've been busy recently and almost forgot about it."

But to be honest, Jon almost forgot that he was still a reserve member of the Pioneer Club.

The threshold of the Pioneer Club is very high. As one of the top four clubs in the Hoenn region, the ordinary trainers it absorbs are almost all masters of the top four of the league conference.

The main daily activities of the club are daily training and regular competitions. Sometimes they will accept tasks and respond to the call of the league.

The club's battle competitions are quite popular. Through these competitions, the club has also produced many famous trainers.

Just as Yashida said before, there are five quasi-king trainers in their club, but...

"Job-hopping?" Jon was stunned when he heard the news.

A few days ago, one of the quasi-king trainers suddenly terminated his contract with the Pioneer Club, and surprisingly, he didn't even frown and paid the compensation of ten times his annual salary without hesitation.

Although it is still unknown why he left suddenly, it is obvious that he was poached by his opponent with such a big hand.

"Yes, it's a job-hopping. In our recent game, the opponent was the Fierce Fire Club, which has four quasi-king trainers. I seriously suspect that they did it."

Yashida said as he took Jon into the car. Along the way, he saw several trainers training or fighting, and Yashida also introduced them to Jon.

As he spoke, Yashida's car arrived in front of the only building on the island.

This building looks quite impressive. It covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters and has a total of 8 floors.

However, most of the space here is where the staff work and live.

In addition to the elevator, there is a canteen on the first floor, which provides daily meals for everyone.

Yashida's office is on the eighth floor. His office area is not small, even more than 200 square meters.

Walking into Yashida's office, it is decorated very luxuriously.

The walls are full of honorary trophies and certificates, showing the club's past brilliant achievements.

A large floor-to-ceiling window allows you to directly see the vast sea from here, with an excellent view.

A sweet-looking beauty, who seems to be a secretary, has already made tea.

Seeing Yashida and Jon coming over, she bowed respectfully.At first, Jon looked straight at the scenery after she lowered her head. After Yashida coughed softly, he sat down expressionlessly, feeling a little embarrassed.

The reason why Jon forgot about the development club was because his joining was a little different.

The reserve member was originally an opportunity given by the club to those unqualified trainers. Usually there was no salary or subsidy. They needed to rely on their own strength to meet the club's standards before signing to become a formal member.

Jon's situation was different. Yashida was willing to pay him half of his salary, just hoping that Jon would try to make time to participate in the competition when they needed it.

There was no mandatory requirement, and even no collective training. The reason why Yashida did this was actually for investment.

He can be said to be one of the few successful investors in the world. The development club and the battle development zone are just part of his many industries.

His most profitable business is the cooperation with Devon Company to jointly produce Pokémon carrying props.

However, the production requirements of these carrying props are very high, so the output is very small and in short supply.

Once these carrying items are put on the market for sale, they are almost all priced at over a million, and ordinary trainers really can't afford them.

Let's get back to the point. This time, Yashida really has no choice.

After losing a quasi-king trainer, the overall level of his club has obviously fallen behind the fierce fire club.

So, Jon became his life-saving straw.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't know other quasi-king trainers, but most quasi-king trainers have their own legitimate jobs.

Although the club's salary is high, the boring battles, or even performance-based competitions, are unacceptable to many quasi-king trainers.

They choose to become trainers for adventure and to travel around the world, not to please others.

More quasi-king trainers come from families, and they almost all focus on the interests of the family.

Quasi-king trainers are important objects that cannot be ignored no matter where they are placed. As quasi-king trainers, their goal is often to become real quasi-kings and reach the pinnacle of Pokémon trainers.

It can also be said that almost all trainers who join the club are civilian trainers.
