Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

When you're not yet strong enough, it's best to keep a low profile.

To avoid being coveted by evil spirits.

... ...

Walking on the main road leading to Qiuye Town, Haoyan noticed that there were many people around him, all heading to Qiuye Town just like him.

Qiuye Town has few tourist attractions and doesn't usually see many visitors.

"Could it be that the Grand Contest is about to begin?" Hao Yan wondered.

The alliance aims to support Autumn Leaf Town and promote its economic development.

A grand competition venue was specially set up in Akihabara Town.

Every year when the Grand Contest is held, many people flock to Autumnleaf Town to participate.

However, Haoyan has never cared about such flashy but impractical competitions, so he didn't know when it would be held.

They didn't even know much about what the competition was about.

"This year's Grand Contest is of a very high standard; even the current champion, Mikoli, will be performing!"

"Mickey is coming too? Oh my god! My idol!"

"If I had known he would be participating, I should have prepared more and tried to get a better ranking in the Grand Contest!"

Haoyan passed by the two girls and overheard their somewhat infatuated conversation.

Wallace is the current champion of the Hoenn region.

In addition, he is also an excellent Pokémon Coordinator.

I enjoy participating in all sorts of glamorous competitions.

Even in battle, they strive to use a variety of flashy moves to defeat their opponents.

The two girls continued chatting: "This time, besides Mikoli performing, the prize money is also very generous!"

"Winner of the Grand Contest will receive 200 million Alliance Coins."

"Second place: 100 million; Third place: 50!"

"Wow, it seems Autumn Leaf Town has really gone all out this time!"

"They invited Michael to perform, and they have so much prize money!"

... ...

Haoyan originally had no interest in the Grand Contest.

But now he has decided to participate.

First, it's for the money!

Two million isn't a huge amount, but it's enough for Haoyan's living expenses for a while.

Anyway, the Grand Contest is near my home, so there's no time cost involved.

Secondly, he could also meet with Wallace, as he was quite interested in the level of strength of the Hoenn champion.

Once he made up his mind, Haoyan quickened his pace.

... ...

Chapter 91 Safia: Brother Haoyan, can I come to your house?

Haoyan arrived at the Pokémon Center, the registration point for the Pokémon Contests, and found that there were quite a few people there.

Everywhere you look, there are trainers from all over who have come to participate in the competition.

These trainers are all at the Pokémon Center, taking care of their own Pokémon.

However, most people's Pokémon are common, mass-produced items.

"Hello, I'm here to register." Haoyan walked to the registration point.

"Okay, please fill out this form." The staff member skillfully took out a form and handed it to Haoyan.

"Okay, thank you." Haoyan took the form and went to fill it out.

Just as I finished writing and was about to hand it back to the staff, I heard Safia's voice: "Brother Haoyan?"

What are you doing here?

Haoyan turned around and found that Safia was not far from him.

A look of surprise on his face.

"Brother Haoyan, are you here to participate in the Grand Contest?" Safia asked, looking at the form in Haoyan's hand.

"That's right, and you, Safia, what are you doing here?"

"After you challenged the Lava Citadel Gym last time, didn't you say you were going to Petalburg City to challenge the Petalburg Gym?" Hao Yan asked with a smile.

"That was the original plan, but when we arrived in Akihabara Town, we found that the tunnel leading to Kanaz City was closed."

"I'll have to stay in Autumn Leaf Town for now."

"But meeting Brother Haoyan again here is quite a pleasant surprise." Safia looked at Haoyan with admiration.

After Hao Yan's battle with Asha in Fuyan Town, Safia admired Hao Yan even more.

Haoyan handed the completed form to the staff, confirmed the start time of the Grand Contest, and then left the Pokémon Center with Safia.

"Brother Hao... Yan, I have something I'd like to ask you. I don't know if it's convenient for you," Safia said shyly, her head bowed.

"Brother Haoyan, as you know, I can't go to Orange Blossom City right now because the tunnel in Autumn Leaf Town is temporarily closed."

"With the start of the Grand Tournament in Autumnleaf Town, more and more Coordinators are gathering here."

"The Pokémon Center's rest area is so crowded that there are no seats left."

"I heard that Brother Haoyan's home is in Qiuye Town." As Shafiya said this, she clenched her two little hands tightly together, showing the shy look of a little girl.

The sound was much quieter, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

"No... I don't know if it's possible to stay at Hao... Hao Yan's house for a few days..."

"Come stay at my house?" Hao Yan glanced around; there were indeed many people coming and going at the Pokémon Center.

Autumn Leaf Town is not very big to begin with, and not many people usually come here.

Therefore, when building the Pokémon Center, it was built to be a little smaller.

What Safia said is true.

"No problem," Haoyan readily agreed.

"Really? That's great!" Safia jumped up with joy upon receiving Haoyan's prompt reply!

Haoyan then took Shafiya back to his home.

Safia was very happy and lively throughout the journey.

Perhaps it was Haoyan's quick agreement that made Shafiya feel closer to him.

They also became bolder.

"Brother Haoyan, I heard that the curator of Orange Blossom City, Qianli, is also a newly appointed curator, just like the curator of Asha."

"But his strength is extremely high!"

"Although I have a strong chicken that can counter his normal attributes."

"But I'm still not sure if I can succeed."

"Brother Haoyan, you are a martial arts expert, so I would like to ask you for another favor."

"If you have time, could you teach me a thing or teach me some secret techniques so that I can successfully defeat Master Qianli?"

Safia looked up at Haoyan with anticipation.

"Okay," Haoyan readily agreed again.

Anyway, the Grand Contest doesn't start for another three days, so there's no need to rush.

Just let Safia's Mighty Chicken train with Lucario and the others; it won't take much effort.

"That's great!"

"Please, Brother Haoyan!" Safia Lucari smiled happily, revealing her two cute little tiger teeth.

... ...

Chapter 92 The Incident That Enraged the Alliance

In Haoyan's home, in the courtyard specifically used for cultivation.

"Strong! Strong!" Safia's Strong Chicken was hitting a test board in front of it.

"Lucario! Luca!" Lucario waved to stop him, gesturing for him to look at him.

Then the strong chicken immediately and respectfully stepped aside to observe carefully.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Lucario took two steps back, then suddenly exerted force from his waist and abdomen, raising his fist and slamming it repeatedly against the test board.

The test board had a fist mark on it after being hit by Lucario.

The landing point is clear; it's always the same spot.

"Strong! Strong!" The strong chicken's eyes were filled with horror.

"Lucario! Luca!" Lucario pointed to his waist and then to the Mighty Chicken, asking if he understood.

"Strong! Strong!" The strong chicken nodded vigorously.

"Lucar~ Luca~" Lucario gestured for Mighty Chicken to try it out for him.

"Strong! Strong!" Strong Chicken nodded vigorously and began to try out moves like Lucario had done earlier.

Lucario is like a teacher, instructing Safia's Mighty Chicken in training.
