Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

As a Gym Leader, being directly placed in the Ultra Ball Division right after passing the World Pokémon Ranking Tournament is a privilege that only a few powerful countries like China can enjoy!

After all, in some small countries, the champion's strength might not even be comparable to that of a Dragon Kingdom gym leader.

Trainers at the lower levels of the Advanced Ball class will face challenges from Ultra Ball trainers, and there will be at least one such challenge per month.

To think that I've only just become a gym leader... tsk tsk.

There should be a lot of matches going on for the next period of time.

Oh well, let's just treat it as weight training.

Furthermore, if I want to achieve a ranking in the advanced division, I'll need to challenge opponents with higher rankings. Many trainers are based overseas, so I might have to travel abroad in the future to improve my ranking.

However, these are not things I need to consider right now.

After hanging up the phone, Nanfeng went out to find something to eat, then returned to his villa in Qiantang to rest. It was already too late today, so he would ask his teacher for his early graduation certificate tomorrow.

I haven't seen Messenger Bird and Poco Bi in ages! 8.

280. Take Togepi and Delibird with you.

"Chajiduyi!"

"so~that~sei!"

Togepi and Wobbuffet: ╭(^▽^)╭(^▽^)╯

Nanfeng woke up early in the morning to find the two little guys playing games in the living room. The messenger bird was on vacation today, sitting on the sofa with its legs tucked in, cracking sunflower seeds with great relish.

In the kitchen, Super King is busy preparing breakfast. To celebrate returning home, it's making dumplings again today.

The other elves, having returned to their familiar surroundings, were also busy with their own affairs.

Gardevoir handed South Wind a cup of hot water.

Taking the hot water from Gardevoir's hand, Nanfeng plopped down next to Togepi and watched it play games.

These days, with Nanfeng and his Pokémon away from the villa, Togepi, who had long since grown accustomed to playing with his friends, was incredibly lonely.

"060" considered himself to have complete control over this huge TV set, and could play whatever games he wanted.

However, without friends, the fun of the game seems to be greatly reduced.

The messenger bird is alright; it usually delivers takeout at school. But when it flies back every night, it sometimes feels lonely because Super King doesn't keep the midnight snack for it.

Seeing how happy Togepi was, Nanfeng thought for a moment, then got up and went to the two Pokémon, extending his hand in invitation.

"I won't be going back to Qiantang University much in the future, so would you like to come with me to the Dongning Martial Arts Hall?"

Togepi and Delibird, who were just having fun, were taken aback.

Togepi looked expectantly at the messenger bird. It didn't care where it went; all it wanted was to stay with its friends!

The messenger bird frowned deeply.

Look at Pogepi, then look at the South Wind.

"Don't worry, I've already found you a job there. I have a ranch there, so you can help me raise some elves. I'll pay you a salary too, how about it?" Nanfeng continued.

The messenger bird thought carefully for a long time before placing its hand on South Wind's hand. "Dei Li dei Li! (I accept your employment!)"

“Chajiduyi!! Hehe (≧◇≦)ㄏ”

"So~ that~ sei!! ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ" As expected, Wobbuffet and Togepi celebrated happily, as they could play together again.

Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Togepi and Delibird were willing to go to the Wintery Gym with him, which put his mind at ease.

Without Togepi, that adorable little creature, constantly chirping "Cha-ji-du-yi" in the living room, it just doesn't feel like something's missing.

Especially for Wobbuffet, playing games alone without friends to play with greatly reduces the fun.

It seems that I have come to regard Togepi and Delibird as important family members.

Whether or not to capture Togepi and Delibird is secondary.

"Remember to resign from the school cafeteria!" Nanfeng stood up and patted the messenger bird's head.

“Yes, Li!” The messenger bird nodded seriously and immediately flapped its wings to find the cafeteria owner of Qiantang University.

Although I'm leaving soon, I still want to thank the boss for taking care of me these past few days, and also... settle my wages.

Watching the messenger bird's departing figure, Nanfeng stretched, ready to begin his day.

It's been so long since I've surfed!

Shouldn't we make a show of it?

Nanfeng ran to the beach, where Greninja and Gyarados were already surfing, and a mountain-sized Tyranitar was playing in the sand with great enthusiasm not far away.

Nanfeng suspects it's been playing since last night!

Lord Sand Eater trembled. (Didn't this guy disappear? How did he reappear!)

"You two, take me surfing!" Nanfeng called out to the two Pokémon as he took out his racing boat.

"Crunch~"

"Roar!!"

.

Two hours later, Nanfeng changed his clothes and came to the principal's office.

As soon as Nanfeng pushed open the door, he saw a pile of books stacked on the principal's desk. Principal Bai Wenru was reaching into Gengar's mouth with one hand and stroking his white beard with the other, muttering, "The detailed explanation of the habits of rare Grass-type Pokémon should be here..."

"Teacher, what are you doing?" Nanfeng suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Oh, Nanfeng's here. Please have a seat. I'm getting you the books you need to read this year," Bai Wenru said, turning around to see Nanfeng. "Hey, why aren't they here? I remember putting them here after I read them last time."

"Gengar, do you remember?"

Gengar stood there, mouth agape, shaking its head awkwardly...

"Isn't it inside your belly? How could you not know?"

Gengar looked bewildered. "Do I need to know?"

Nanfeng silently examined the books on the table.

Goodness, there are at least a hundred of them.

"Teacher, are the books on the table the ones I'm supposed to read this year?"

"of course not"

Nanfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides the books on the table, I've also packed two boxes for you," Bai Wenru said, kicking the cardboard boxes next to his desk.

Nanfeng's face immediately turned pale.

There were hundreds of books on the table, and at least hundreds more in the two cardboard boxes...

Moreover, Teacher Bai Wenru still looked like he hadn't finished taking them all.

Could it be... that he's making us read one book a day?

No, judging from Professor Bai Wenru's momentum, I might not even be able to keep up with one book a day.

"Teacher... I suddenly don't want to graduate early," Nanfeng said with difficulty.

When Bai Wenru saw Nanfeng's mournful face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Just kidding!"

"These are just the books I think you'll find useful. I'll pick out the ones you need at this stage from the books on the table and in the box, and categorize them. I'll give you about fifty books a year, and you only need to finish one book a week."

"However, you just need to solidify your understanding; if possible, you'd better watch it several times."

"I will also conduct an assessment of you every year during the Chinese New Year!"

　Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. If there really were more than three hundred books, he would probably have to carry the books with him every day.

"Teacher, that's a really scary joke!"

"Is that scary? When I was your age and just entered Qiantang University, I was reading all the time, even when I was training my Pokémon, except for attending classes. I probably read two or three hundred books a year," Bai Wenru sighed, and said earnestly, "Not everyone has your talent. Don't waste it!"

Nanfeng blushed, realizing he had no talent whatsoever; he had only relied on cheating.

However, upon closer reflection, I'm the only one in the world who can pull off such a cheat code, which can indeed be attributed to talent.

I've put your graduation certificate on the table.

"I'll send you the books you want to read tomorrow."

281. Alola Region Dominator Sticker

That afternoon, Nanfeng returned to Dongning Dojo.

There are about ten days left until the next Pokémon sale at the South Wind Breeding House.

Nanfeng will have a dojo hiatus for a while. No foolish challenger will jump out to challenge him.

Lin Wei scheduled the first battle of the World Pokémon Tournament for mid-month, before the Pokémon Sales Conference. The opponent is currently unknown; for matches involving the High Ball level, the opponents will be assigned by the official organizers of the World Pokémon Tournament.

In addition, Lin Wei was entrusted with the management of the ranch's trivial matters.

Therefore, Nanfeng, who has returned to Dongning Dojo, can take a good rest for a while.

However, these are just real-life breaks.

In the game, Nanfeng is going to be busy again.

All seven gyms in the Kanto region except Viridian City were defeated!

Viridian City couldn't find Team Rocket's leader, Giovanni. Southwind didn't delay; after returning to the ranch, she controlled the protagonist to fly from the Kanto region back to the Hoenn region, and then took a plane from Hoenn to the Alola region.

Put aside the gym badges from Sinnoh, Unova, and other regions for now.

Nanfeng plans to first master Z-Moves and Dynamax. Once he masters these powers, as long as his body can withstand them, his Pokémon's battle strength will definitely increase significantly!

The Alora region was chosen because it's relatively close. It only takes half a day to get there by plane.

The plane landed in Hauole City on Melemele Island in the Alola region.

After leaving the airport, Nanfeng went to the Pokémon Center to record information.

Then, Nanfeng opened the map and selected Green Ridge City to fly.

[Should Fly to Mossdeep City in the Hoenn region? Time required: 117 hours 33 minutes 17 seconds]

"About five days" is within expectations.

After all, it takes about 10 days to fly back to Green Ridge City from Carlos, a region that takes a whole day to reach by plane.

Leave the Pokémon Center.

Nanfeng headed straight for Lili Town, the location of Hala, the island king of Melemele Island. This is where the island quest in the game begins, and Hala is also the crafter of the Z-Ring. If Nanfeng wants to obtain the Z-Ring and learn Z-Moves, he must start there.

However, Nanfeng had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

He noticed a strange sticker on the right side of the entrance to the Pokémon Center.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Overlord sticker!

Nanfeng stepped forward to interact.

You have obtained a Dominator sticker.

Open the backpack to see its effect.

Totem Stickers: Collect a certain number of Totem Stickers to obtain a Totem Pokémon from Professor Oak.

"Dominant Pokémon?" Nanfeng looked at the text and immediately sat up straight on the beanbag chair.

I remember in the game, if you collected a certain number of Totem Stickers, you could get a Totem-sized Pokémon from Professor Oak, the corrupted (physical) version of him.

Note that this refers to Totem-sized Pokémon, not Totem-sized Pokémon!

These two are fundamentally different.

The former is simply enormous in size, while the latter possesses the power to exude an aura of dominance!

The difference is huge!

"If I could really get a Totem Pokémon..." Nanfeng was a little excited.
