Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"The super evolution of the little dragon is not far away."

Even without the system's mission, Hao Yan was determined to take the position of curator of Kaina City.

However, Haoyan had no reason to refuse something that was icing on the cake.

... ...

They walked with Safia until they arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

The alliance has set up a special registration point here.

Many trainers fill out forms online to register for the gym leader election competition.

To this end, the city of Kelana organized a group of volunteers to be specifically responsible for receiving visitors at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

There were six reception desks on site, where the identities of the trainers participating in the competition were verified and number plates were issued.

"Hello, I'm here to check in." Haoyan and Shafiya walked to the reception area and greeted the receptionist with smiles.

"Ah...hello!"

The receptionists were two young women.

One of the blue-haired receptionists looked up and saw Haoyan's handsome face, and was slightly taken aback.

Most of the trainers she had previously served were older, typically middle-aged people between 28 and 40 years old.

Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared, catching her off guard for a moment.

Realizing she had been somewhat out of line, the blue-haired receptionist quickly bent down and picked up a form: "Excuse me... could you please tell me your name and where you're from so I can verify the information?"

"Who are you? Haoyan!"

Just as Haoyan was about to speak, another receptionist with a slightly chubby face announced his name first.

And excitedly, he said to Haoyan, "You're Haoyan, aren't you! I've watched the Grand Contest in Autumn Leaf Town live, and I've seen what you look like!"

As soon as the slightly plump receptionist spoke, the people registering around all turned to look at Haoyan with curiosity.

"I am Haoyan..."

Haoyan looked at the excited receptionist speechlessly.

As he uttered his name, the onlookers began to discuss it.

"That's Haoyan, the legendary kind-hearted citizen!"

"They thwarted several plots by Team Magma and Team Aqua, and even captured Team Magma's Banai and Flame!"

"The Kaina Daily was right, he really did come to participate in our Kaina City museum director election!"

"I never expected such a skilled trainer to be so handsome."

"I really hope he can win the match and become the gym leader of our Kaina City Gym."

"If that's the case, then our city of Kaina will no longer have to fear those evil organizations."

... ...

During the time that Hiroki was away from the Hoenn region, the Kaina City Daily, having tasted the benefits, immediately launched a special report on him.

We will delve into the details of how Haoyan defeated each evil organization.

As Haoyan's details were revealed, the public became increasingly curious about this enthusiastic trainer.

Some local television stations, sensing the shift in public opinion, quickly followed suit and joined in reporting on Haoyan.

This greatly increased Haoyan's popularity.

Young, handsome, a champion of the Grand Contest, powerful, and with a strong sense of justice—each of Haoyan's attributes, taken individually, is eye-catching.

... ...

"Excuse me, my number plate..." Haoyan whispered a reminder.

"Ah... okay, please wait a moment."

The excited blue-haired receptionist quickly composed herself.

After all, I'm still at work, so I need to pay attention to my appearance.

"Your number is 233, please keep it safe!"

The blue-haired receptionist verified the information and handed a sign to Haoyan.

"Thank you." Haoyan put the sign down and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Hao... Mr. Haoyan, please keep going!"

"My friends and I all hope that you can become the first curator of our Kaina City!"

"So please, you really have to do your best!" the blue-haired receptionist said earnestly to Haoyan.

Haoyan was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand and responded with a smile, "Thank you for your encouragement, I will work harder."

After saying that, he stepped aside, making room for other people to register.

... ...

"Hello, I've also signed up for the curator election." A middle-aged man dressed in hiking gear and with a receding hairline stepped forward to register.

The receptionist glanced up at him and casually said, "Name, where you're from, the number of badges you own, and list the gyms from which you obtained those badges..."

Some balding middle-aged men have their mouths wide open.

The difference in attitude is one thing, but after all, he knows what he looks like.

But why didn't Haoyan ask these questions earlier, but now that it's his turn, he's asking so clearly?

Pointing to Haoyan not far away, he said, "Why just now..."

The receptionist understood what the balding middle-aged man meant and rolled her eyes.

Looking at Haoyan standing in the warm winter sun with an expression full of admiration, he said, "Because of his Haoyan..."

"Because he is Haoyan!"

This answer is really far-fetched, but why does it seem so natural?

The balding middle-aged man had no choice but to honestly speak: "My name is Haidou, I come from Kanaz City, and I have seven badges, which are..."

Safia looked around and saw some little girls who were eager to ask Haoyan for his autograph.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Brother Haoyan, he's one of those people who were born to shine..."

... ...

Chapter 196 Stepping onto the Stage of the Pokémon World

The election for the curator of Kaina City was held as scheduled!

The City Hall of Kayana takes this matter very seriously.

The venue, originally used for grand prix events, was expanded and transformed into a brand new competition venue.

The venue's stage was divided into rings of varying sizes.

Furthermore, a large amount of money was spent on installing various facilities on the arena.

The entire venue can accommodate up to 100,000 spectators.

Furthermore, the Kaina City Hall issued a special notice that the entire city of Kaina would be closed during the museum director election competition.

This led to a surge of residents of Kaina City flocking to witness the birth of their city's first museum master.

Many tourists from various cities also come here, boosting the local tourism industry.

The city hall of Kayana recouped the money spent on expanding the venue just from the ticket sales.

Citizens who were able to go went to the scene.

Those with less means also stayed by their own television sets, waiting for the live broadcast.

It would be no exaggeration to say that the streets were deserted.

However, the city of Kaina has not relaxed its patrols.

Miss Officer Jenny, leading a team of fully armed investigators, patrolled the area around Kaina City.

To prevent any misconduct by criminals in relation to the competition.

------------------------------

The lights inside the venue converged, illuminating the very center of the stage.

The host, Vivian, gracefully strode onto the stage: "Hello everyone, I am Vivian, the host of this curator election!"

After speaking, he bowed slightly to the audience.

The audience immediately applauded and cheered.

Vivian, dressed in a gorgeous white lace bubble dress, held a microphone and waved to the audience.

"Thank you all for your enthusiasm. It is an honor to host this museum director election competition."

"Next, let's welcome our judges for this session."

Vivian pointed to the high platform on the stage with her jade-like finger, and the audience followed her finger to see the high platform illuminated by the lights.

More than a dozen figures appeared on the high platform.

"Please give a round of applause to welcome the Gym Leaders from the Hoenn region: Cuckoo, Snivy, Asa, Nash..."

Each time Vivian introduced someone, a round of applause followed.

Especially the audience members who came from the cities where these dojos are located welcomed the elites of their cities with applause!

"In addition to the eight Gym Leaders, we have also invited Mr. Mulla, the former Elite Four member of the Hoenn region, to this competition!"

The lights shone on Mura's face, and Mura waved to the audience with a radiant expression.

"Finally, let's give a warm round of applause to Mr. Wallace, the current champion of the Hoenn region!"

Vivian's passionate tone stirred the enthusiasm of the audience in the venue!

Mikoli changed into a gorgeous white evening suit.
