In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Bakura shook his head, then looked at Ma Xiu with great interest.

"after?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiu blinked in surprise. She was still very young and naturally focused on traveling.

Besides, the money she occasionally earns from modeling is enough for her own expenses, and she even has a considerable surplus.

"I should open my own clothing store... I'm so sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Bakura, but I really haven't thought about that."

With her slender fingers tapping her chin, Ma Xiu hesitated before saying, "But I really haven't thought about this."

“I see. I was being presumptuous. But Ma Xiu, if you really love Pokémon and are proud to be a trainer, I would actually suggest you try challenging the League.”

"Personally, I think the greatest charm of Pokémon lies in the moment of battle when they fully display their light and heat!"

“Raising Pokémon is a blessing, because when you capture a Pokémon, it means that you have become partners.”

"And on the field, to make your partner the most dazzling presence! That is the highest honor for a trainer!"

Bakura nodded, then smiled at Ma Xiu and slowly revealed his true feelings.

What is the purpose of raising Pokémon? What exactly is a Pokémon Trainer?

For Bakura, if he simply liked Pokémon and wanted to live with them, he could have chosen not to become a trainer.

Or you might just enjoy raising Pokémon, but that doesn't make you a true trainer!

For true trainers, the results of raising Pokémon need to be shown to others!

What are the Four Heavenly Kings and the Four Heavenly Kings Champion?

The Elite Four are the four trainers who stand at the top of their region! The Elite Four are the purest and strongest!

The Four Heavenly Kings champion, in Michael's words to Bakura, is 'the strongest man on this land!'

This is the title of the Four Heavenly Kings Champion! The strongest person in the region!

Why do so many trainers want to challenge the League? Because they want to show everyone the results they've achieved with their Pokémon!

Want to gain the approval of others!

For many trainers, challenging the League is the highest honor!

Teaming up with their partners, they defeated one opponent after another and finally reached the top of the championship! This was achieved through long-term hard work, struggle, and the hardships endured during special training!

Glory earned through hard work! That's what a trainer is all about!

In his first year, Bakura also challenged the Sinnoh League without hesitation, because at that time, he was also yearning for that honor!

"Show your light and warmth, and let the world see your most dazzling self and Pokémon! This is an incredibly precious memory for both the trainer and their partner Pokémon."

Bakura looked at the stunned Ma Xiu with a smile that carried a hint of solemnity, and spoke slowly but clearly into Ma Xiu's ears.

Isn't Bakura also trying to show himself in another way?

His current dream is to build the most powerful Alola regional league!

If he succeeds, the whole world will remember the name of Bakura!

His light will spread throughout the whole world!

"The Challenger League, huh..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiu pursed her lips tightly; she had never thought of this before.

Because she likes Pokémon, it's a simple liking and passion, but she hasn't considered what else she needs to do as a trainer besides raising Pokémon.

Yes, if it's just about raising Pokémon, then what's the point of raising Pokémon?

To kill time?

"Yes, if you have the time, I highly recommend that you challenge the league to grow and hone your skills."

"This will allow you to grow the most and fully understand the charm of Pokémon battles."

Bakura smiled slightly and said slowly to Ma Xiu.

Marshall is a very suitable Gym Leader, but Bakura hopes that Marshall can become stronger!

After all, Bakura invited her to become the Alola region's Gym Leader, so he naturally hoped that Mash's strength could be improved to the greatest extent possible!

The Challenge League Tournament is an excellent opportunity for training!

With the year-end tournament over, the Alola League should be ready to be established soon, which is the perfect time to invite Marshall!

Chapter 201 Reencounter with Xiao Huang: The World's Attention is on You (Seeking Full Subscription)

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement with Bakura. "I understand, thank you."

Looking at Bakura, Ma Xiu smiled and said gently.

Indeed, perhaps I should try challenging the League. I like and love elves, but there are certain charms about them.

It can only be truly demonstrated in battle!

Moreover, if she could bring her own fairy and shine on a stage in front of everyone, Ma Xiu thought that scene would be wonderful!

"No need, this is just my suggestion and idea. Whether you listen to it or not is up to you," Bakura shook his head and smiled faintly.

"Could you please give me your contact information? You are a very strong trainer. Perhaps I can ask you for advice on battle-related knowledge and questions in the future."

Ma Xiu smiled and whispered to Bakura, "Bakura is a very strong legendary trainer."

Ma Xiu had already realized this, and Bakura, who was able to say those words, was also a person with very profound thoughts and insights.

Ma Xiu really hopes that she can truly make friends with such a person.

"Of course, it is my honor to know a beauty like Ma Xiu."

Bakura nodded in agreement as he watched Ma Xiu boldly ask for his contact information, and took out his phone, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Mr. Bakura is such a charming person, no wonder those ladies trust you so much."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiu smiled reservedly, exchanged contact information with Bakura, and then teased him again.

Her personality is classical, elegant, and gentle, but unlike the very shy Ah Mi.

Perhaps due to her experience as a model and her childhood spent in dance halls, Ma Xiu is also a very generous girl.

"Ma Xiu, please stop teasing me."

Bakura shrugged helplessly. Was it his fault that he was so charming?

"But Mr. Bakura, how do you know that May and the others went to the Alola region?"

Ma Xiu covered her mouth and chuckled, then her bright eyes flickered slightly as she asked Mo Liang curiously.

She was genuinely curious about this, as the May 5 sisters rarely interacted with men.

Moreover, the fact that half of the sisters from Enoki Dance Hall left with the May 5th sisters caused quite a stir in Enoki City.

However, the whereabouts of the May Five Sisters have not yet been revealed. Ma Xiu knows this because she has a close relationship with the dancers in the dance hall.

"I can't tell you that, but Ma Xiu, I might need your help at the end of the year."

Bakura shook his head without giving Ma Xiu a direct answer. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke to Ma Xiu.

"Help?" Ma Xiu blinked. Would someone like Mo Liang need help from a young woman like her?

"Yes, it's not a bad thing for Ma Xiu. As for the specifics, I will contact Ma Xiu at the end of the year. Of course, whether or not she is willing to help is up to Ma Xiu herself."

Bakura nodded and smiled at Ma Xiu, saying that giving advance notice would make the invitation less abrupt.

Besides, there's still a long time until the end of the year, and who knows, a more suitable option than Ma Xiu might come along along the way?

Therefore, Bakura did not make any definitive statements.

Ma Xiu is undoubtedly a good, excellent, and unique curator, but her skills have always been a major weakness.

It was not within Bakura's primary considerations.

If she can reach the level of a near-King this year, Bakura will choose her without hesitation.

Although it's about poaching people...

But Bakura wasn't indiscriminate in his pursuit of food! If something didn't meet his standards, he wouldn't even give it a second glance.

Otherwise, the pool of candidates for the Alola Elite Four would be much wider. In Bakura's considerations, the minimum standard for the Alola Elite Four is that they must be champion-level trainers!

"...If it's not an unreasonable request, I'll give it a good consideration."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiu frowned slightly. Although what Bakura said wasn't a bad thing for her, she didn't even know what it was about yet.

So after hesitating for a moment, Ma Xiu didn't impulsively agree.

"That's natural."

Bakura smiled and nodded. Only an idiot or a wise man would take on the other person's problems without hesitation on their first meeting.

Although Mashu had a good feeling about Bakura, she was not a woman who was all looks and no brains.

Hmm, although Ma Xiu's breasts aren't actually that big...

……

Time passed quickly, and halfway through, Ma Xiu also said goodbye and left, while Mei and the other three girls, having had their fill of fun, returned.

The group returned to the hotel, and the day was over.

Early the next morning, at the dock in Lampurch.

"Next, we need to return to Vermilion City and head to Cerulean City to challenge the Cerulean Gym. Thank you for your help yesterday, Mr. Bakura."

With a smile, Touko spoke to Bakura and the other two, saying that they were going to Cerulean City and would challenge the Pewter City Gym and the Viridian City Gym along the way.

Then they would turn back and challenge other gyms.

Bakura and Kabi, on the other hand, are heading to Rainbow City, and their routes are completely different.

"Goodbye, and I look forward to your success at the Indigo League." Bakura waved and smiled as he wished the three girls well.
