Pokémon: Start with a Mewtwo invitation

Chapter 39: Powerful Trainers in Round Island City
Back in Round Island City, Xia Mu rode a mountain bike around Route 11 and came to the seaside with Growlithe and Lucario.

Yuandao City is a large city built on the seaside. Part of the development of the entire city depends on the island’s own supplies, but most of it depends on foreign trade transactions at the port.

Otherwise, Yuandao City would never have developed to its current level.

Of course, it is also because many people are willing to invest in Yuandao City as a transit point.

After all, to the south is the Orange Islands, and to the north is the Kanto Continent.

Going northwest, you will reach the Chengdu area, and going southwest, you will reach the Hoenn area.

To the east is the Unova region, and to the southeast is the Alola region...

Therefore, many large freights will stop and circulate at Yuandao.

……

Came to the beach by the sea.

The weather is clear today and the sun is not too strong, so the beach is crowded with people.

There are countless handsome men and beautiful women.

Although Yuandao City is not a famous holiday resort, many people come here to play because it is a big city with good management, and various facilities and recreational areas are very well built.

There were even some outsiders coming to check in.

Clock in?

That's right!

The Pokémon world is actually very similar to Xia Mu's previous life's world. Once certain celebrities appear in specific places, or when some places become famous because of special things, they will attract many people.

As for why this place is famous, according to the original body's memory, it is because Yuandao City responded to the alliance policy a few years ago. As a large island city for transit from various places, it has vigorously developed the tourism industry to a certain extent.

This is why the officials of Yuandao City carried out large-scale renovation and improvement of the scenic areas.

What's more, if you compare the photos before and after the renovation, you can clearly tell that this large beach after the renovation is far from what it was before the renovation.

After all, its purpose is to advertise the region and let outsiders who come to Marujima City know that Marujima City is under the jurisdiction of the Kanto region and has very unique cultural characteristics.

This is the case with Marujima City, and various places in the Kanto region are also worth traveling.

Use Yuandao City to promote its reputation, attract outsiders to invest in tourism and construction, and promote economic development.

Even though Xia Mu knew nothing about politics in his past and present lives, he was at least influenced by the general environment in his previous life and was exposed to it.

On the other hand, there was also a wave of publicity for the Orange Islands in the south.

After all, as a southern holiday resort, the Orange Islands are hailed as the male kingdom of God and bikini paradise in the original book.

……

After putting away the mountain bike, Xia Mu took Growlithe and Lucario along the path along the beach and quickly found the target building.

After the battle last night, I got to know that bald-headed Ali and established a preliminary friendship.

Xia Mu came here naturally to find him.

It’s also because Xia Mu has enough strength, otherwise, people would not be willing to establish friendship with him.

The same is true in the Pokémon world, where all kinds of human nature exist. Everyone is trying to climb up. If your status is high enough and your strength is strong enough, it will determine what kind of people you can get along with.

Ali is a native of Yuandao City, but his family is not very powerful. They run a small business and have a little money.

For example, Ali's parents run a small restaurant and bar on this beach, selling some special drinks, fruit juice drinks, fruit snacks and the like.

In fact, in Xia Mu's understanding, if one can open a restaurant or bar in such a place, the family must have some assets.

After all, how can ordinary people afford to buy this place? Although there are several restaurants and bars nearby, with such a large beach area and such a large flow of people, it is obvious how much money can be made.

If they didn’t have a network of connections, they wouldn’t have been able to open a store here.

Xia Mu came to the door, and after Ali warmly entertained him, he told Xia Mu in detail who the powerful trainers were in Yuandao City.
This is also the reason why Xia Mu came to find Ali.

After his explanation, Xia Mu finally realized that there were actually several elite trainers hidden in Yuandao City who had participated in several leagues.

One of them even made it to the semi-finals of the last Quartz Conference. He has also traveled to other regions and is said to have achieved considerable success.

"So, how does all the great things you said compare to your actual ability?" Xia Mu asked after taking a sip of the special drink in the cup.

No matter how much Ali said, it was still his words. Xia Mu wanted to know their specific strength. Otherwise, their Pokémon were all over level 50, so wouldn't it be a waste to challenge them?

For example, Ali’s strongest mosquito-repellent swimmer reached level 46, and Xia Mu had to spend a lot of effort to defeat him.

Ali's other Pokémon are all above level 40.

At least among the group of people yesterday, Ali was definitely the strongest.

If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be able to organize that kind of group gathering, and no one would listen to him.

In Ali's words, he had participated in the Quartz Conference and he also challenged the Orange Islands Winner's Cup. Although he failed, his strength was recognized by the honorary trainer there, Yuji.

"I'm not bragging, it's 50-50. I win sometimes, but I also lose sometimes."

Seeing Ali's proud and complacent look, Xia Mu had a rough guess.

Maybe there will be one or two very high levels, but the vast majority should be around level 40 and above.

You can fight.

"It seems that I am really interested, so can you arrange it today?" Xia Mu asked.

Ali nodded, "Who doesn't want to make money? Fighting with you for 10000 League coins is equivalent to someone's income for several days. Besides, most people would not want to fight with us, who are trainers with some strength. Otherwise, do you think I would want to make that kind of money? Even though my family still has a little money, my pocket money is never enough."

After listening to Ali's words, Xia Mu could somewhat resonate with them.

Indeed, knowing how powerful Ali and his men are, who would be willing to challenge them and give them money?

No one is a fool, so trainers with a certain level of strength in Round Island City no longer rely on Pokémon battles to make money.

Most people no longer venture out for travel after they are fifteen or sixteen years old.

Some people go to school to complete some basic education so that they can have a skill when they grow up.

Some people help out at home, and that's it.

One thing worth mentioning is that in this world, after you turn ten, you can go to the Alliance station to pick up a random Pokémon, and then you can choose whether to go out and travel, but most of them will not go out.

Most people will raise their Pokémon for a year or two after receiving them, and then go out to train them.

Although Xia Mu still found it outrageous, this was the fact.

All I can say is that people in this world are more mature. At least a ten-year-old looks like eleven or twelve years old, and their IQs are not low.

This is also related to experience, right? After all, when you travel alone, your educational concepts are different.

As for the main characters in the original work, like Satoshi and Shigeru, they received the Three Starter Pokémon at the age of ten and then went out traveling and challenging gyms. How should I put it? This is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

How can an ordinary person be qualified to receive the Three Great Families?

Most people get the common Pokémon found on the side of the road.
