Powerful Trainers in Enoshima City

Chapter 39 Powerful Trainers in Enoshima City

Back in Madoka City, Natsuki rode his mountain bike around Route 11, taking Growlithe and Lucario to the seaside.

Yuandao City is a large city built on the coast. The development of the city relies partly on the island's own supplies and mostly on foreign trade through the port.

Otherwise, Yuanshima City would never have developed to its current state.

Of course, it's also because many people are willing to invest in Yuandao City as a transit point.

After all, the Orange Islands are to the south, and the Kanto Continent is to the north.

Head northwest to the Tato region, or southwest to the Hoenn region.

To the east lies the Unova region, and to the southeast is the Alola region...

Therefore, many large cargo ships stop and transit at Yuandao Island.

……

We arrived at the beach.

The weather was sunny and the sun wasn't too strong, so the beach was crowded with people.

There are countless handsome men and beautiful women.

Although Madoka City is not a famous resort destination, it is a large city with good management and well-developed facilities and tourist areas, so many people come here to visit.

Some outsiders even come to check in.

Checking in?

That's right!

The Pokémon world is actually quite similar to the world of Natsuki's previous life. Once certain celebrities appear in a specific place, or a place becomes famous for something special, it will attract a lot of people.

As for why this place is famous, according to the original owner's memories, it's because in previous years, Yuandao City responded to the Alliance's policy and, as a large island city serving as a transit point for various places, vigorously developed the tourism industry to a certain extent.

This led to the official government of Yuandao City carrying out large-scale renovations and improvements to areas with good scenery.

And you know what? If you compare photos before and after the renovation, you can clearly see that the beach after the renovation is far superior to the one before.

Ultimately, the purpose is to expose the region's flaws and let outsiders who come to Madoka City know that Madoka City belongs to the Kanto region and has a very unique cultural character.

As is the case in Madoka City, the entire Kanto region is well worth traveling to.

By establishing a reputation for Yuandao City, we can attract tourists, investors, and developers, thereby boosting economic development.

Even though Xia Mu knew nothing about politics in his past and present lives, he was still influenced by the environment in his past life and could be considered to have been exposed to it through his surroundings.

On the other hand, it also served as publicity for the Orange Islands in the south.

After all, as a southern resort paradise, the Orange Islands are hailed as a god-like kingdom for men and a bikini paradise in the original work.

……

After putting away their mountain bikes, Xia Mu, along with Growlithe and Lucario, quickly found their target building by following the path along the beach.

After the battle last night, I ended up becoming friends with that bald guy, Ali, through a fight.

Xia Mu came here, naturally to find him.

It's only because Xia Mu has enough strength that people wouldn't be willing to establish a friendship with him.

The Pokémon world is just like that, with all sorts of human nature present. Everyone is trying to climb the social ladder. If your status and strength are high enough, it determines the kind of people you can associate with.

Ali is a local of Yuandao City, but his family is not particularly powerful or influential. They run a small business and have a little money.

For example, Ali's parents run a small restaurant on this beach, selling specialty drinks, juices, and fruit snacks.

In Xia Mu's understanding, being able to open a restaurant in a place like this meant that the family must have some assets.

After all, where would an average person get the money to take over this place?

Although there are several restaurants and bars nearby, with such a large beach resort and such a large flow of people, it's clear how profitable it is.

Without connections, they wouldn't have had the chance to open a shop here.

When Natsuki came to visit, Ali gave him a warm welcome and then told him in detail who the strongest trainers in Yuujima City were.

This is also why Xia Mu came to find Ali.

Under his explanation, Xia Mu finally learned that there were actually several elite trainers hidden in Yuujima City who had participated in several leagues.

One of them even made it to the semifinals of the previous Quartz Conference, and has also traveled to other regions, where he is said to have achieved considerable success.

"So, how does all that fancy talk compare to your actual abilities?" Xia Mu asked, taking a sip of her specialty drink.

No matter what Ali says, it's still his opinion. Xia Mu wants to know the specific strength of the Pokémon. Otherwise, they are all Pokémon over level 50. Going to challenge them would just be sending them to their deaths.

For example, Ali's strongest mosquito coil swimmer reached level 46, and it took Xia Mu a lot of effort to defeat him.

All of Ali's other Pokémon are also level 40 or higher.

Of all the people from yesterday, Ali was definitely the strongest.

If he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't be able to organize those kinds of group gatherings, and no one would listen to him.

In Ali's words, he had participated in the Indigo League before, and he had even challenged the Champions Cup in the Orange Islands. Although he failed, his strength was recognized by Yuji, the honorary trainer there.

"I'm not bragging, but it's about even. I have my wins and my losses."

Seeing Ali's proud and smug appearance, Xia Mu had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Perhaps there will be one or two that are very high level, but the vast majority should be level 40 or above.

You can fight.

"It seems I'm actually quite interested, so can you arrange it for today?" Xia Mu asked.

Ali nodded: "Who wouldn't want to make money? Fighting you gives me 10000 League Coins, which is equivalent to several days' income for most people. Besides, most people don't want to fight us trainers who have some skill. Otherwise, do you think I would want to earn money that costs money? Even though my family has a little money, my allowance is never enough."

Xia Mu was able to resonate with Ali's words to some extent.

Indeed, knowing that Ali and his group are strong, who would be willing to challenge them and give them money?

Nobody's a fool, so trainers with real skill in Tsubasa City no longer rely on Pokémon battles to make money.

Most people stop going on adventurous trips after the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Some people go to school to complete some basic education so that they can have a skill when they grow up.

Some people just help out their families, and that's how it goes.

One thing worth mentioning is that in this world, after the age of ten, you can go to the League's outpost to receive a random Pokémon, and then you can choose whether to go on a trip, but most people don't go out.

Most people train their Pokémon for one or two years after receiving it before venturing out to challenge it.

Although Natsuki still found it outrageous, it was the truth.

It can only be said that people in this world are relatively mature; at least ten-year-olds look like eleven or twelve-year-olds, and their IQs are not low.

This is probably related to experience, right? After all, traveling alone can lead to different educational perspectives.

As for the main characters like Ash and Gary from the original work, who received their starter Pokémon at the age of ten and went on a trip to challenge gyms, well, that's something ordinary people can't compare to.

How can an ordinary person be qualified to receive the starter Pokémon?

Most people get the common Pokémon found on the roadside.
