Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

However, these were all topics of conversation among girls.

For example, perfumes and lipsticks.

Judging from what Dr. Yamanashi said, it seems like the other party is very powerful?

"Remove that interrogative word."

Tetsuya rolled his eyes. "I played against her once, and I got swept six times in one go."

"Oh—wait??!"

Xiaoxue's mouth was completely agape.

She thought Tetsuya was referring to a string of six Cynthias.

Later, I realized something was wrong.

"You weren't as capable back then as you are now."

Cynthia did not deny it, but responded calmly.

Zhe waved his hand dismissively: "What difference could there be? At most, it'll go from a six-legged streak to a two-legged streak. I'm not going to go looking for trouble."

"It'll be another six in a row, you're overestimating yourself."

"Huh? I'm now a esteemed near-Elite 'Trainer', can't you, an 'Elite Trainer', at least show some respect?"

"Although you use honorifics, can I take this as a provocation? How about we have a fight?"

"Ah, the weather is nice, Yuji played really well."

Tetsuya changed the subject.

Xiaoxue glanced at Cynthia, then at Tetsuya.

Suddenly, I realized that I couldn't seem to get a word in edgewise.

"By the way, I think I found some information about that photo you sent me last time. I'll send it to you later."

"Okay, I've also prepared the questions you asked me about Tokiss last time. I'll send them back later."

The two chatted as if no one else was around.

"Oh"

Naz glanced at it and let out a cold laugh.

Amidst the fluctuations of her superpowers, she chose to leave the stands.

He left behind only one sentence.

"After returning to Kanto, come to Golden City for some business."

"Okay, boss."

Tetsuya readily agreed.

Although he felt that Natsumi's attitude had changed quite a bit, he didn't think it was wrong.

If the Queen of Incredibles weren't so capricious, how could she inspire such fear in so many people?

You should know that he still owes Naz a favor.

"Come to Nibi too, I have some personal business to discuss with you."

Xiao Gang, who had been lost in thought with his head down, looked at Tetsuya.

Why did you all gather together?

The latter complained, but then admitted it, "I understand, I'll go."

Chapter 566 The Championship Trophy and Its Fate (Revised in half an hour)

The third-place match between Yuuji and the unknown trainer named Jinpachi Morii has finally come to an end.

Unsurprisingly, the former won the victory without any surprises.

Among teams of the same level, Yuuji's team is definitely among the strongest.

That Dragonite alone can solve many problems.

The power of a pseudo-god is no joke.

"That's so nice~"

He looked down at Yuuji, who was celebrating with his hands raised in ecstasy.

In the stands, Cynthia's eyes revealed a rare hint of envy.

"What? Is the future Sinnoh champion jealous of someone else's regional championship third place?"

Tetsuya came to her side and teased her.

When they first met, his impression of Cynthia was still based on her image as a champion from his previous life.

Powerful, calm, elegant, and professional, with occasional decision-making difficulties.

So much so that his initial attitude was tinged with a great deal of awe.

But in fact...

The Cynthia in front of him, whom he had known for over a year, was not the mature and composed Sinnoh champion he would become in the future.

Although she is only two or three years older than Tetsuya, in many ways she is not much different from ordinary girls.

It's just that they're slightly stronger in terms of overall strength.

"It must be wonderful to enjoy the cheers with the elves."

Cynthia ignored Tetsuya's words and continued talking to herself.

"Of course."

Tetsuya leaned lazily to the side, "It's addictive."

"It seems a bit inappropriate for you to say that," Cynthia gave him a half-smile. "Don't you pride yourself on being the king of 'playing it safe'?"

"Wanting to be lazy is one thing, but actually doing it is another."

Tetsuya smiled and waved his hand, "Besides, there's nothing we can do about it, isn't there?"

To live up to the expectations placed upon me, a surge of motivation naturally welled up from the bottom of my heart. I just want to go back and lie down right now!

"What are you saying, you brat?"

Ah Si, standing to the side, patted Tetsuya on the back in annoyance: "Young people should be more energetic. Becoming the world's strongest trainer should be your goal!"

"See, I told you so."

Tetsuya shrugged helplessly at Cynthia.

Cynthia smiled without saying a word.

"Next, please have the three winners of individual honors proceed to the center of the field for the awards ceremony!"

The announcer's voice echoed throughout the circular arena.

The intense heat showed no signs of abating.

The audience gave them their most enthusiastic cheers.

"I'm going."

As Tetsuya spoke, he jumped off the stands.

"boom"

Yuji, who had just finished fighting, punched Tetsuya in the chest without any hesitation: "You, buddy, are really enviable. What are your relationships with those three girls?"

"I never imagined it was true that you and Master Sabrina were involved?"

Tetsuya gave him a strange look: "It's nothing, just some friends I know. But you, you've got some nerve!"

"What do you mean?"

Yuuji was stunned.

Tetsuya silently pulled out a mirror from somewhere.

The former took it and his face immediately froze.

In the mirror, his face had been transformed into that of a doll.

"It's okay, it'll probably recover after a while. Even if it doesn't, it's still pretty good."

Tetsuya patted Yuuji on the shoulder reassuringly.

Did they really think that just because Nazja left, she wouldn't know what was happening here?

Her superpowers are extraordinary among humans.

Yuji's courage to say something like that is truly astounding.

"What am I going to do? Am I going to spend the rest of my life with a doll's head on my head?"

Yuji was on the verge of tears. "Aren't you a psychic too? Help me remove it!"

Tetsuya quickly said he couldn't do it: "I don't know how to do this either. It shouldn't take long. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Although he didn't know how to turn a person into a doll or eliminate the effects, he could sense the residual and dissipating superpower energy.

Roughly speaking, it takes about a day.

The audience also noticed Yuji's unusual behavior and were all taken aback.

Based on Naz's previous appearance, they had some guesses in their minds.

Turning people into dolls is one of Naz's "specialties".

He walked onto the podium.

Chairman Damaranchi, who was in charge of presenting the awards, and Lorelei, the Ice Queen, were also helpless.

After confirming that there were no major problems, they pretended that nothing had happened and continued with the awards ceremony.

"Congratulations, you really did win this year!"

The diminutive Damaran approached Tetsuya, holding a trophy. "This is what you deserve. Please take it."

"Thank you, Chairman Damaranchi."

Tetsuya quickly took the trophy from the other person's hand.

The moment he got his hands on it, he felt a great sense of relief.

A joyful expression spread across his face.

The design of the Silver Tournament's championship trophy is not complicated.

It's an artistic depiction of a hand holding up an enlarged version of a Poké Ball, with the names of Time and Tetsuya engraved on the base below.

The only special thing about it is that it's made of pure gold.

"Selling them would bring in a lot of money."

Tetsuya thought to himself silently.

But it's just a thought.

Even the worst-performing regional champion wouldn't be reduced to selling their trophy to make a living.

Along with the trophy, a certificate and a booklet were also awarded.

The significance of the former is that Zhe can also use it to directly upgrade his trainer level.

After being stuck at the Elite level for more than two years, he can finally become a near-Elite level trainer.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long.

Because he can essentially seamlessly transition into becoming a Champion-level trainer.

If becoming a Champion-level Trainer didn't require certain certification assessments, there wouldn't be any transition period needed.

The latter.

Tetsuya smiled and opened it.
