Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Instead of cramming within a day, it is better to relax and let yourself and your partners have a good mentality to fight.

"Hey, are you sure it's okay to be so leisurely? I see a lot of big names from you humans are coming to this battle~"

Latias moved closer to Li Chen, holding the latter's arm, with a puzzled look on his face.

Normally, this situation shouldn't involve training Pokémon in the wild, then encountering a superstar, receiving praise, and then throwing harsh words at them:

"I will definitely defeat you and become the new king!" Is this a declaration of war?

Li Chen: ...

"Watch less cartoons. Things like that are basically impossible to happen in real life." Li Chen sighed. The videos Latias has been watching recently are a bit strange, both rotten and gay. If he continues watching, he might have a mental shift.

Latias was very confused. He lay down beside Li Chen, resting his head on his shoulder, and murmured, "Why? Isn't it said that reality is more magical?"

"Most of the animation is made up. I can only say that those who understand it will understand it. You will know it all when you reach my age." Li Chen shrugged. He was not sure about explaining this matter.

"Okay, someone is coming. It looks like they're looking for you. I'll fly away first." Latias sensed a wave coming from a distance, let go of his hand and moved away from Li Chen.

The other party's waveguide felt a little hot, but it could be judged that it was well-intentioned and had no intention of hurting Li Chen.

What's the other party's name...

It seems to be An Yu?

Listening to Latias' words, Li Chen also walked to the nearby shop to buy some small specialties, and waited for the person Latias said was looking for him to arrive.

"Student Li Chen, you have such a refined taste. What's going on? Are you interested in antiques?" The person who came was An Yu.

After hearing An Yu's teasing, Li Chen realized that he had come to a shop specializing in selling antiques.

However, Li Chen felt like he had seen this plot before, with an antique shop appearing in a snack street...

Oh, the protagonists of online novels all get their luck here, right?

According to the normal plot development, the next step is to pick up the Pokémon's Super Stone, right?

result……

"Hey, if you want to buy antiques, go somewhere else. Come with me first. I'll take you to meet a big shot."

An Yu directly pulled Li Chen away.

Such a powerful pulling force made Li Chen confused. Where was the promised plot of picking up the leak?

Online articles are really harmful!

Forget it, no one has signed in today, let him see the sign-in location!

[Today's check-in location: Xiuhan Cafe]

Coincidentally, the place where An Yu brought Li Chen was also the Xiu Han Coffee Shop, where he was interviewed last time.

"Mr. An Yu, who is the big shot you brought me here to meet? Please tell me."

Li Chen put his hands behind his head, and his leisurely look made An Yu very envious.

Come to think of it, since becoming the person in charge of the Twelve Guardians Project, he hasn't had a good night's sleep many times, and missions like this one that involve leading people are one of the few leisure jobs he has.

Hey, there are twelve guardians, why does he have such an outrageous workload?

Feelings aside, the reply still needed to be made: "You'll know when you get there. As for who it is, I can't say for sure, but he's definitely the most prestigious trainer you've ever met."

"Oh, Ye Tianwang, huh?"

With so many buffs stacked up, Li Chen roughly guessed who it was.

Chapter 84 First Meeting with the King

"..."

An Yu laughed in silence. This kid guessed quite accurately.

But he did not continue with what Li Chen said. Instead, he kept his mouth shut and took Li Chen to the Xiuhan Coffee Shop.

There were already many reporters sitting outside the cafe, as well as people who rushed over to watch the show after seeing so many people present.

This kind of lively scene is the most popular scene among Chinese people. After asking around, many people found out that King Ye Rong was actually inside.

News spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred...

This also led to the huge crowds of people now.

"back door?"

In the current situation, going through the main gate would obviously be too conspicuous, and Li Chen didn't want to be labeled as a "relative".

An Yu nodded: "That's right."

The dark alley next to it is connected to the coffee shop, and no one knows about this alley except the insiders.

Stopping at the entrance of the alley, Li Chen began to hesitate.

There were countless torn bags inside, and even a lot of stinky mud. It looked like a place dedicated to garbage recycling.

Although the smell was not bad, after all, those Pokémon could control their smell, but Li Chen subconsciously did not want to go to the place where Muddy had been.

"Let's go, let's go! Don't keep the big shot waiting too long. Do you still want to invest? This is a guaranteed... oh no, a golden rice bowl!"

An Yu pushed Li Chen into the alley.

The group of Pokémon that feed on garbage gathered around and, after confirming An Yu's identity, made way for him.

After walking inside, Li Chen finally saw the inside clearly and exclaimed, "Wow, there's a different world inside."

It’s true, the places chosen by the alliance are really different.

The light like the afterglow of dusk shone on the ground, a few Lalulas were dancing on the ground, and the five big words "Xiu Han Cafe" were hung on the wall.

There is clearly no door, but there is a doorplate like this hanging there.

This caught Li Chen's attention. He pointed at the wall and looked back at An Yu: "How many times?"

"Wow, you know quite a lot. You must have watched a lot of spy anime, right?"

An Yu laughed and said, "Three times. This time the code is your Pokémon."

"Of course. My friend plays Agent 17. He also watches Spy Play House."

Li Chen walked forward, elbowed the wall a few times, and cleared his throat: "Martial Arts Bear Master, Gyarados, Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon."

rumbling...

The sound of the wall moving was not loud, and only Pokémon like Li Chen and An Yu who were staying in the alley could hear it.

The group of Ralts jumped onto the shoulders of the two men respectively. Li Chen caught a glimpse of a pink Pokémon similar to a slime appearing and wrapping them up.

"Awesome, Ditto is guarding the door."

...

...

Xiuhan Cafe, an ordinary cafe in Ludao.

Famous for its Chinese coffee.

Naturally, some people will ask what is Chinese coffee?

Then I don’t know how to answer.

In addition to selling coffee, this is also a place where league trainers meet privately.

It looks high-profile, but it actually hides a mystery.

"Hello, what would you like to order?" The girl at the front desk had her signature smile on her face, and even the angle at which she bent was impeccable.

"A big coffee, with some mint green."

An Yu casually threw a coin with a Bulbasaur pattern engraved on it.

The girl at the front desk said, "Please take a seat on the second floor."

"It's quite impressive. If you don't know, you might think it's some illegal activity."

Li Chen was quite curious about this operation. He could obviously go to the alliance branch to find a small room to chat, so why did he come to this coffee shop that would easily attract attention?

He said he didn't understand, but was more curious.

"After all, you'll be going through a lot more in the future, so we're letting you get familiar with the process in advance. Xiu Han Cafe will always be your strongest backing."

That’s all An Yu has to say.

When we got to the second floor, there was a man sitting in the corner of the cafe who looked not much older than An Yu.

This man was wearing an Alliance uniform and had an upright appearance, but he also revealed a somewhat frivolous feeling.

Three completely different styles create one person. He is Ye Rong, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of China, the Grass King, who stands tall in the dense forest and is invincible.

"King Ye, I have brought the person to you. I will take my leave first." An Yu left, leaving Li Chen and Ye Rong behind.

After looking at each other, Li Chen took a seat.

No one wanted to speak.

Ye Rong looked at Li Chen, and Li Chen looked back at her without any concealment.

After a moment of silence, Ye Rong broke the silence:

"I discovered two undiscovered Pokémon in a row, entered the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup as a high school senior, and accidentally entered a secret realm twice and successfully survived...

You are a person with great luck. I won't beat around the bush and will speak frankly. Regarding the idea of ​​a training house for apprentice bears, what are your needs?

Of course, you have to show the expected results before the old guard in the league sees the investment potential. For example, the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup—it's not big, but it's not small either, it's a good stepping stone."

Li Chen naturally understood the hidden meaning behind these three sentences.

If you want resources, that’s fine. I can help you arrange the photos, but you have to produce results and let your achievements speak for themselves.

The small dragon and phoenix cup is just a starting point, neither too big nor too small, just right.

"A secret place, is that possible?"

Li Chen made such a request.

In the Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC: The Isle of Armor, Marsder spent a huge amount of money to buy the Isle of Armor, which is inhabited by wild Pokémon, similar to the Secret Realm.

There are no private islands in reality, but there are secret places.

Apart from him, anyone else who controls a secret realm must obtain the individual's consent before internal development can begin.

"The secret realm that appeared in Lu Island not long ago? Or the secret realm of the snow forest in the Fujian Dragon Forest?" Ye Rong asked. He was not shocked that Li Chen wanted a secret realm. Instead, he asked what secret realm he was interested in.

A disaster-level secret realm is actually nothing compared to the newcomers with the lowest gym strength in the future.

The difficulty lies in whether Tianjiao can grow up, or whether he will "collapse halfway through his business"?

Ye Rong dared to bet, he saw hope in Li Chen.

Will a rising star grow to rival the sun and the moon?

"If I could, I'd like to have both."

Li Chen did not hide it and continued: "But, this is impossible, right?"

With his own strength level, it is questionable whether he can control the secret realm, let alone two of them.

Therefore, he did not have any extravagant hopes for the two secret realms.

"Hahaha, you're a newcomer, yet you have such a big appetite. You have to take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time."

Ye Rong laughed so loudly that a few tears fell:

"That's right, I can't agree to this. A natural disaster-level secret realm is already the limit of what I can get for you.

When you reach my level of strength, you can have as many secret realms as you want, provided you manage them."

Chapter 85 You're not a shill, are you? Me too

"Can you manage it? How do you know if you don't try?"

Li Chen was also pondering the meaning of Ye Rong's words.

It is difficult to manage a secret realm. Not only do you have to build good relationships with the Pokémon inside, but you also have to deal with internal disputes at all times.
