Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

…………

Although Ibrahimovic had a fantastic start, this match lasted longer than the first one.

It wasn't that Dudu rallied and came back later; the main reason was that Ibrahimovic still suffered from being younger.

If you don't have enough energy in your body, the power of your moves won't be as impressive.

Although Dudu is a bit simple-minded, even relying on her muscle instincts, she can still cause her considerable trouble with speed and strength that are a level above Eevee.

Xia Chen didn't give any unnecessary instructions or shout things like "Get out of the way!"

Ibrahimovic's reaction time is much faster than that of a trainer; he only needs to make key tactical decisions.

Right now, to deal with Dudu's reckless charges, Ibu has been training in balance and dodging for a month, and his best tactic is kiting.

Actually, although it might be hurtful to say, Dudu's chaotic attacks, aside from being fast, were really inferior to the beginner level of that training machine.

Eevee had originally wanted to act out being bumped into twice, but seeing Dudu charging straight at her, she felt it would be impolite to continue.

Thus, Ibrahimovic perfectly "demonstrated" to Xia Chen his efforts over the past month.

She dodged Dudu's charges from the left and right, while cleverly weaving in high-speed star counterattacks.

After four high-speed star attacks, Dudu finally collapsed and lost all fighting consciousness.

Looking at the silent crowd below the field, Ibrahimovic calmly dusted himself off, then leisurely jumped back into Xia Chen's arms, enjoying his comfortable post-match massage.

Pshaw, I haven't even used my full strength yet, and I've already intimidated you?

As expected, how could Caterpie know Rayquaza's ambitions?

...............

An ordinary victory had no impact on Xia Chen and Ibrahimovic, but for some reason, Teacher Tang looked at them strangely after the match.

Xia Chen didn't think much of it, after all, among the four Pokémon, Eevee's performance was outstanding.

It seems that the targeted training over the past month has indeed been effective, but neither Ibrahimovic nor I should be complacent.

After all, he had already heard that the small classes in the general departments were at the bottom of all the classes.

Ibrahimovic at this point can barely be considered a mere novice.

However, the path is built step by step, and Xia Chen is not in a hurry. Compared to strength, he cares more about the evolutionary research of Eevee and Feebas.

The good news is that when Xia Chen went home for lunch, she received the friend request she had been looking forward to all morning.

[Iron Will requests to add you as a friend, additional information: Xiao Gang from Nibi City, source: number lookup]

Here he comes! The man has finally arrived!

Xia Chen immediately approved the application, and then quickly clicked on the profile picture of the dark-skinned, squinty-eyed young man and sent him a message.

I'm not a pigeon: [Hello, Teacher Xiaogang! Eevee greets you!]

Whether in the realm of content creators or nurturing talents, Xiaogang is my senior, not to mention that he has helped me so much, so it's not shameful to take the initiative.

……

Steel Will: [No need to be so polite, just call me Xiao Gang. I'm also a fan of yours, Master Pigeon! (Smiling)]

I'm Not a Cuckoo Pigeon: [Okay, then let's not stand on ceremony, you can just call me Xia.] Eevee nodded seriously.

Steel Will: [This nickname sounds a bit like one of my friends. Anyway, back to the point, Xia, you're interested in that seminar, right? Should I register you?] Steelix asked, puzzled.

Yes, thank you for your guidance!

Xia Chen typed this sentence, then thought about it and decided not to add the Eevee cute emoji.

It's not that they're not cute enough, it's that they're too cute, and they always seem a bit gay.

Xiao Gang didn't notice this detail and sent over a link.

It's all brightly colored, and at first glance, you might even see something offensive; it doesn't look like a legitimate website.

Before Xia Chen could take a closer look, he saw that [the other party had retracted a message].

Then they sent a website link, which came from the official website of the World Breeders Association.

Steel Will: [I've sent you the link to the seminar website. I have someone coming to challenge the gym, so I have to talk to you now. I'll contact you later.] Steelix turned and left.

Xia Chen: "..."

Well, he's Xiao Gang after all, we should give him some face.

Xia Chen didn't investigate further whether he was genuinely in trouble or using it as an excuse to escape the crime scene.

Pretending not to have noticed anything, Xia Chen casually sent a farewell emoji of Eevee and then clicked on the link sent by Xiao Gang.

Chapter 39 The System That Makes Empty Promises (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

Besides the existence of Pokémon, another thing that pleased Xia Chen about this world was the unification of human languages.

(For convenience, some settings have been slightly modified, but the language is the same.)

Xia Chen clicked on the link sent by Xiao Gang and carefully read the time and location of the seminar.

"From October 3rd to 6th, in Evergreen City, Kanto Region?" Xia Chen murmured to himself.

This place is probably one of the most familiar places for Pokémon fans, besides Pallet Town.

Evergreen Gym in Viridian Forest: Sakamoto, the Earth Spirit, and Green, the Nurturer.

Whether you're a fan of animation, games, or comics, this place always evokes so many memories.

After Xia Chen came to this world, he also looked up some information online. The current owner of the Evergreen Pavilion is still Sakaki.

Just like in the special manga, this big shot has not been stationed at the Evergreen Gym for many years.

Logically speaking, such a dojo should not pass the Quartz League's audit, but Evergreen Dojo remains evergreen, just like its name suggests.

Sure enough, no matter which world he's in, Giovanni is still the same Giovanni with connections and influence.

As for Team Rocket, there isn't much information about them online. It's more like the dark web of my past life—everyone knows it exists, but ordinary people can't access it.

After briefly learning about it and noting down the relevant information about his past life in his notebook, Xia Chen didn't pay much more attention to it.

Xia Chen, a criminal organization operating across regions, believed he was not capable of confronting him.

Let the true protagonists of this world, the chosen ones, handle such dangerous tasks.

As an ordinary transmigrator without even a cheat system, I might as well just be a lazy gym leader.

…………

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Chen noted the matter down in his memo. A month was quite a long time, and given his current non-stop work schedule, he might easily forget about it.

After finishing his meal, Xia Chen went straight back to school without taking a nap. Although the seminar wasn't going to be held for another month, he had to ask for leave in advance.

Inside the office, Yang Guanghui frowned and asked uncertainly, "You mean you're going to take leave to attend a seminar hosted by the World Association of Breeders?"

Although this student, whom he was particularly interested in, had given him quite a surprise a couple of days ago, the somewhat absurd reason for requesting leave still left him a little bewildered.

If we hadn't had that conversation a couple of days ago, he probably would have said, "Why didn't you say you took leave to play in the World Championship's Masters 8 tournament?"

But now, after hesitating for a moment, Teacher Yang cautiously asked, "Um, what evidence do you have to prove it?"

evidence?

Xia Chen paused for a moment, then replied, "I did chat with Xiao Gang."

He stopped before he could finish saying the word "record".

If chat logs could be used as evidence, the world's legal system would be finished; everyone's got two Pogamans already.

Teacher Yang shrugged. "If that's the case, then the leave definitely won't be approved."

With his arguments presented logically and logically, Xia Chen couldn't refute them and had no choice but to turn around and leave dejectedly.

Never mind, I'll wait for news from Xiaogang before asking for leave.

Watching Xia Chen's departing figure, Teacher Yang muttered softly, "Is the World Breeders Association really that weird? Old Tang was just praising Xia Chen as the Eastern Emperor's Shirona, achieving success in both training and cultivation?"

After not seeing Xia Chen for just one summer vacation, Teacher Yang realized that she really couldn't understand him anymore.

What exactly happened to him in the past two months?

…………

After dinner, Xia Chen sat on the sofa with Ibu in his arms watching TV.

Studies have shown that watching movies is also a way to increase the bond between trainers and Pokémon.

Reality isn't a game; it doesn't display intimacy levels. Xia Chen doesn't know exactly what level his relationship with Eevee is at right now.

Although he felt pretty good about himself, what if the evolution requirement was like Ash and Greninja's bond transformation?

Therefore, Xia Chen would never miss any opportunity to increase his intimacy with Ibu.

It must be said that artistic works made in a world with very little suffering always feel a bit lacking.

The movie Xia Chen chose, which tells the story of a trainer and Eevee going on adventures in different places, almost put him to sleep.

"Buy~"

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, but Xia Chen was still awake, while Ibu yawned and even squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes.

"How about we change the channel?" Xia Chen asked Ibrahimovic for his opinion.

"Ee." Eevee nodded weakly.

One person and one cloth had already agreed, and although it was already a majority vote according to the voting system, Xia Chen still democratically asked Ugly Fish, "Ugly Fish, do you want to watch the whole movie?"

The aquarium was completely silent; not even a single bubble could be seen in the deep blue water.

Is the Sleepy Fish asleep again?

Xia Chen was speechless. He began to suspect that this ugly fish was a Snorlax. It could sleep too much!

"Forget it, let's change the channel." Xia Chen switched to the Pokémon Battle Channel.

Although there haven't been any heavyweight clashes between Elite Four members lately, there have been quite a few exciting battles between elite Gym Leaders.

Xia Chen and Yi Bu learned a lot from this.

Right now, a highly popular match is being broadcast live on the Pokémon Battle Arena.
