Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"According to Officer Jenny of Kaina City, these mysterious people are very likely members of Team Aqua!"

"A large-scale manhunt for the members of the Aqua Fleet was immediately launched within the city of Kaina."

"According to interviews conducted by reporters, many citizens of Kaina City expressed dissatisfaction with the Alliance's inefficiency."

"Many citizens have already petitioned the League to establish a gym in Slateport City!"

"To deter criminals from committing crimes in Kaina City!"

"The league attaches great importance to this matter and has stated that it will raise this issue at its fifth annual meeting of the year in the near future."

"At the same time, a public opinion poll was launched in Slateport City on whether to establish a dojo there. It is reported that more than 20,000 citizens of Slateport City have participated in the poll so far."

... ...

"The Water Fleet is probably not going to have a good time next," Hao Yan thought silently.

Team Aqua and Team Magma in the Hoenn region are not as arrogant as Team Rocket in the Kanto region, and their influence is much smaller.

The League has a very good grasp of the Hoenn region!

Basically, neither organization dared to easily reveal their identities.

More importantly, the fact that Fleet Aqua dared to target Devon Corporation was an absolute blunder.

Zvuch has a son who is known as the bulwark of the Hoenn region!

Zifuqi Dawu!

Former league champion!

He is called the former champion because Daigo was so engrossed in digging for rocks that he gave up his champion title to his friend Michael.

It wasn't that they were defeated!

Team Aqua stole Daigo's house; it's no wonder Daigo blew it up.

However, there is another piece of information that Haoyan values ​​highly.

That's why Slateport City wants to establish a gym!

If Slateport City really establishes a gym, then Haoyan is very interested in competing for it!

... ...

Chapter 70: After your first evolution, you're going to challenge Lucario?

Raising Pokémon requires a lot of money.

Just like Haoyan, who only has three Pokémon, he has already spent tens of millions on TMs.

And that's not all.

Once your Pokémon has mastered its existing moves, you'll need to purchase additional TMs.

This doesn't even include their usual food and drink; the daily food and drink for three Pokémon costs at least 6 to 7 League Coins.

This is a huge expense.

What if we expand the team to six?

Then the expenses will increase exponentially.

To earn money, Haoyan often needs to go out and take on bounty missions to cover his daily expenses.

Want to become stronger without money?

difficult!

Could every dojo master, Elite Four member, or even champion become strong without money?

What a joke!

Take the Hoenn region as an example.

Former champion Daigo is the heir to the Devon Corporation!

The current champion, Mikoli, is a descendant of the ancient people of the Glass People and has inherited a large amount of resources.

The owner of the Iron Spin Pavilion in Zijin City is even wealthier and wants to transform the entire city.

... ...

If you become a gym leader, the money problem will be mostly solved.

Each dojo in a city can enjoy local fiscal revenue.

In addition, the alliance allocates a large amount of funds every year.

This money is all given to the dojo owner for his use.

Slateport City is arguably the richest city in the entire Hoenn region.

Goods traveling from various regions must pass through here before being distributed to various cities.

Even if they only receive one ten-thousandth of the local government's revenue, that's still tens of millions a year!

Of course, becoming a museum owner brings power, but also corresponding obligations.

Just like in a local city, if an emergency occurs.

The dojo master has an obligation to help maintain the city's security.

However, this situation is not common.

Normally, we help the league by selecting suitable trainers and awarding them badges.

This is a minor matter; we can simply train more dojo trainees and delegate authority to them.

It's not too troublesome.

... ...

"Unfortunately, the alliance is only discussing it now and hasn't taken any action yet."

"However, given the current size of Kaina City, the establishment of a dojo will be a matter of time."

"Right now, I need to work hard to improve my strength, that's the right path!" Hao Yan checked the time, it was almost lunchtime, so he closed his laptop and headed to the kitchen.

He had only taken a few steps when a thought struck him.

In my mind, Gardevoir's gentle voice echoed.

"Haoyan, come here quickly, the little dragon has started to evolve."

"They've arrived so quickly!" Hao Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly ran into the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, Lucario and Gardevoir had already stopped their training and stood aside, watching the little Charmander with white specks of light emanating from its body.

"Little Dragon..." Hao Yan's eyes were full of anticipation.

More and more white specks appeared, gradually enveloping the little dragon's body.

Finally, it disappeared into his body.

What appeared before Haoyan was a brand new Pokémon.

Pokémon: Charmeleon

[Attribute]: Fire

[Level]: 16

【Characteristic】: Blaze (As HP decreases, the power of Fire-type moves gradually increases.)

[Introduction]: Charmander's body shape is similar to Charmander's, but its skin color is darker and its eyes are more expressive.

His fiery temper led him to constantly seek out opponents for battle, as if he couldn't control himself and could never calm down.

... ...

“Little Dragon…” Haoyan squatted down and opened his arms.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" Charmeleon quickly ran into Haoyan's arms.

She held Haoyan tightly in her arms.

He was overjoyed; he had finally evolved.

"Little Dragon, you're amazing!" Hao Yan didn't hold back his praise for the Charmander.

The Charmander, held in Haoyan's arms, excitedly wagged its tail after receiving Haoyan's praise.

Then, he started playing with the Charizard.

... ...

Haoyan was in a good mood and planned to cook a nice meal to treat them.

He said to the Charmander, "Little Dragon, I'll make you your favorite sweet and spicy soup later."

Back when he was still a little dragon, he would jump for joy whenever he heard that Haoyan was making his favorite sweet and spicy soup.

But today, Charmander was acting strangely, his attention wasn't on the sweet and spicy soup.

Instead, she grabbed Haoyan's clothes, preventing him from leaving.

"What's wrong?" Haoyan turned around in confusion.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" Charmeleon pointed to itself, then to Lucario.

They seem to be saying something.

Lucario, who was standing nearby, was stunned when he heard this, looking incredulous.

Even Gardevoir's beautiful eyes were filled with questions.

"What's wrong?" Without Lucario and Gardevoir to translate, Hao Yan had some difficulty understanding Charmeleon's words.

Gardevoir retreated to Hao Yan's side, used its psychic powers to connect with him, and said, "Xiao Long said he wants to challenge Lucario and have a battle with him."

"What?" Hao Yan could understand why Lucario and Gardevoir looked incredulous.

Because at that moment, he too was so surprised that his mouth dropped open.

"Xiao Long, you said you want to challenge Xiao Ou?"
