The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 134 The Treatment of the Strong

"My goodness, Lin Ye, you're amazing! The dual sword sheaths were only at the ordinary 'professional level' before, how did you cultivate them to 'master level' in such a short time?"

After the match ended, Miss Prantina seemed to wake from a dream, and then asked Lin Ye in a frenzy of joy.

"Isn't this evolution? We even had some fortuitous encounters along the way."

"I never expected you, Lin Ye, to become a 'Gym Leader' level Trainer so quickly. It feels like a lifetime ago."

"Mr. Lin Ye! I was indeed outmatched in this battle. As agreed, the development of the small diamonds in the mine still belongs to the Bellritz family."

However, having the opportunity to spar with such a skilled trainer as you still makes the trip worthwhile, and I hope there will be another chance to compete next time.

Rukia also came over to congratulate the two, her clear eyes showing some resentment at their defeat, but not a trace of bitterness.

"You're too kind. Aegislash only recently evolved, and being able to spar with an equally matched opponent like Altaria has been a great help to it."

Faced with this wealthy young lady who took the initiative to befriend him, Lin Ye naturally tried his best to befriend her.

"Miss Rukia, but this matter is..."

"Cousin Xiaojun, we are already outmatched in this battle. If we drag our feet on the bet, we will truly lose face for the Liuli family."

"Okay, I got it. I'll go and complete the management handover in a bit."

After Mi Xiaojun and the Liuli family members left, Liuqia surprisingly took out her phone and said:

"Mr. Lin Ye, could you please provide me with your contact information?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guang immediately bristled like a kitten, grabbed Lin Ye's hand, and stared warily at Ryukia, thinking to herself that if she had known that Ryukia would have designs on Lin Ye, she wouldn't have let him come over even if she couldn't win.

Lucia chuckled lightly: "Miss Plantina, please don't misunderstand. Although your boyfriend is handsome and powerful, I have no intention of stealing him away."

Upon hearing Ryukia refer to Lin Ye as her boyfriend, Hikaru's wariness immediately turned into embarrassment, and he scratched his head:

"Oh dear, we haven't gotten to that stage yet~"

"Miss Bellizzi, I didn't actually intend to flirt with Lin Ye, but rather to ask if he'd be interested in participating in the upcoming Ring Tournament in Yinyu Town!"

"A ring race?"

"Hmm~, soon, the Greenwood Town will be hosting the Ring Tournament, a competition that only Pokémon with the ability to fly can participate in."

Although Aegislash does not have the Flying type, it can still fly and is eligible to participate.

And frankly, I'm still a bit unconvinced by this victory and want to find a chance to win it back.

Furthermore, it is said that the prizes this time are very generous, and participation is limited to trainers under the age of 25.

I'm planning to sign up, so I wanted to ask Lin Ye if you're interested, so we could go together.

"To travel together? But since your Liuli family has so many outstanding young talents, why would you want to travel with me?"

"Don't mention it. Actually, I didn't get along well with the young masters and ladies of the main family of Liuli since I was a child."

They were arrogant and haughty, while my mother had gone against the wishes of her family elders to be with my father, and they had no contact for a long time afterward.

It wasn't until recently, when my daughter, who doesn't share my surname, displayed extraordinary potential as a trainer, that they came to our door.

"So that's how it is. No wonder this Ryukia is different from those arrogant and cunning members of the Ryukiya family," Lin Ye thought to himself.

As for the Pokémon Ring Tournament she mentioned, we'll talk about that later.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Lin Ye and Xiao Guang, the three of them exchanged contact information before the higher-ups of the Bellrich family gradually gathered around!

Before the fight started, these people were still a little confused as to why the young lady would promise a large sum of money to find an outsider.

In retrospect, it seems that being able to get to know such a reclusive and extraordinary young lady from among the common people truly shows exceptional insight and connections.

In addition to the original people, many more people arrived one after another, including officials with some power in Shui Jing City, local prominent families, and wealthy businessmen.

These people usually form a network of relationships in the local area, and as soon as they heard the news that a "Gym Leader-level" Trainer had emerged in the area, they all rushed over, wanting to make friends with him.

Standing at the very front of this group of local powerful figures from Shuijing City was an elderly man nearing seventy.

Although he was old, he was still very energetic. He strode forward in a sharp suit, seemingly afraid of appearing disrespectful to Lin Ye.

The old man extended both hands, took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Ye, and bowed slightly, saying:

"Oh my gosh! Our Lilycove City has produced another 'Gym Leader' level Trainer. The whole city is proud of this!"

Oh, Mr. Lin, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Payne, the mayor of Water Lily City!

Previously, this old man was unaware that a true dragon had emerged in his jurisdiction; he was truly old and senile.

If Mr. Lin has any needs in the future, please feel free to send someone to our city hall to let us know.

Although I'm just a worker toiling away for the league, I can still help you with some of the more troublesome tasks.

Lin Ye looked at the former mayor of Shuijing City, who was now acting somewhat obsequiously and trying to please him. It seemed that he had underestimated the weight of the title "Master-level".

No wonder Officer Jenny said earlier that a city mayor is just a worker who manages trivial matters, while the one who is in power is the local dojo master!

"To receive such treatment simply for raising a 'Gym Leader' Pokémon, if I were to actually become a Gym Leader, wouldn't all these people be kneeling before me?"

Although I don't really care about these things, becoming the curator might solve many small problems and make it easier for me to collect resources in the future.

As Lin Ye thought this, his longing to become the owner of the Waterfall City Pavilion grew stronger, especially since he now truly had the qualifications to strive for it.

"Oh, right, Mr. Lin. We've just booked a private room at the Shui Jing Hotel and would like to invite you to dinner. We..."

Before the old mayor could finish speaking, he turned his head and saw Prantina's face, which had already darkened. He immediately realized that they had almost become the third wheel.

"Oh dear, I'm really getting senile. Today, Mr. Lin is helping the eldest daughter of the Belleci family in this battle. How can we not let the eldest daughter host a banquet for Mr. Lin first?"

"We old folks shouldn't presume to do this. Sorry, sorry, let's find another opportunity to invite Mr. Lin next time."

After speaking, the old mayor turned around and gave the crowd behind him a look. The efficiency of that look was comparable to "mental interference." The shrewd local tycoons who had surrounded him immediately retreated in unison. In less than half a minute, only the young and handsome couple remained in the venue.

When alone, Xiao Guang's business smile slowly faded, replaced by a faint blush.

She bent down to straighten her perfectly wrinkle-free cuffs, and cleared her throat:

"Lin Ye, you've helped me so much, I really need to thank you properly."

"Oh dear, you don't need any reward for helping Miss Xiaoguang!"

"No, you helped the Bellizzi family in this battle, and I am paying you as a reward on behalf of the family."

But personally, I also want to thank you in my own way. I've already booked a yacht, let's go out to sea!

After saying that, Xiao Guang's ears turned red, and he turned and left, his high heels tapping on the floor twice as fast as usual.

Lin Ye followed behind her. Gastly peeked half its head out of the shadows, winked meaningfully, and then withdrew.
