Chapter 40: I'm just there to make up the numbers, Little Sweet makes her debut.

"By the way, if you're looking for a strong opponent to fight, there's a place you might want to try. It was quite popular a few days ago, and many people were interested in going. I might go there too."

Suddenly, Ali changed the subject, catching Xia Mu's attention.

"Where?" Xia Mu asked curiously.

"New Island, where a Pokémon city is said to have been built."

"A lot of people received an invitation a few days ago, and I received one too. Let me show you."

As he spoke, Ali ran to the other side and took out an invitation from his backpack.

This thing...

Isn't it just an invitation from Mewtwo?

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback; he wasn't the only one with feelings, many people did too.

[I knew it! Why did I get an invitation? So I was just there to make up the numbers?] Xia Mu felt slightly embarrassed.

When I received the invitation, I was quite excited, considering how weak Growlithe and Riolu were back then.

Being chosen inevitably gives people the feeling of being the chosen one.

As Ali spoke and played the invitation, Xia Mu didn't hide anything and took out the invitation he had received.

Ali, with an "I knew it" look on his face, said, "I knew with your strength, how could you not have received it? So it seems you're just warming up by challenging strong trainers now? I wonder who this guy who claims to be the strongest trainer is? I'm starting to suspect it might be some champion from Niijima..."

In Ali's mind, only regional champions dare to call themselves the strongest trainers.

"Who knows? The truth will come out when we get there." Xia Mu couldn't possibly reveal any information to him, so she just said casually.

He doesn't exist in the original work; he might be a minor character, but he definitely doesn't set foot on the new island.

After all, there are only three trainers on the island besides the main characters.

That storm prevented all the trainers from being selected based on their strength and courage.

If it weren't for the fact that Ash and his friends and Team Rocket had such a prestigious aura, they wouldn't have been invited to this banquet at all.

Otherwise, how could a mosquito coil swimmer be no match for a Squirtle and a starfish?

The two chatted for a long time about the topic of the strongest trainer.

Along the way, some trainers who happened to be passing by joined in, and before they knew it, the restaurant had become quite crowded.

Many of them may not have received an invitation, but that doesn't prevent them from getting to know each other.

Then, a sweet-looking girl of about sixteen years old came in from outside, went straight to the bar counter, and greeted Ali.

Xia Mu politely looked at them, while Ali took the initiative to introduce them: "They've arrived. This is the one I was talking about, the top four in last year's Indigo League, our youngest, most talented, and most beautiful trainer in Round Island City, Sweetie."

"Little Sweetie, this is Xia Mu, the one I texted you about. He wants to play against you. It'll cost 10000 League Coins per match."

After the introduction, Ali even helped Xia Mu by calling GG.

Although it wasn't given away for free, everyone was clearly stunned when they heard the news.

"Hello, I'm Sweetie. Don't listen to what Ali is saying, it's all so exaggerated. I'm just an ordinary trainer. Making it into the top four of the Indigo League was just good luck." Sweetie's voice was as sweet as her name.

She wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful, but she still had a striking appearance.

What attracted Xia Mu was her spirited and energetic demeanor.

Yes, she has a great figure, with a slim waist and long legs, especially her two big breasts.

"Hello, I'm Xia Mu. I don't know how Ali introduced me to you, but I'm just an ordinary trainer," Xia Mu replied with a smile.

The two looked at each other and laughed. Ali looked aggrieved and said, "Look, look, even an ordinary trainer can beat me. I might as well introduce myself as a rookie trainer from now on."

Ali appears burly and bald, giving him a fierce look, but in reality, he loves to joke and is very easygoing.

Of course, it depends on the person; not everyone can communicate with him like that.

"Come on, you're not weak at all. You're praising me so much. I didn't even know I was that capable." Xiaotian and Ali have a very good relationship, somewhat like childhood sweethearts.

Xia Mu chuckled to himself, without interrupting them.

Suddenly, Xia Mu felt that the little sweet girl in front of him looked very familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me.

Isn't this Sweetie the female trainer who went to the new island with Sora and Umi?

Although their clothes and appearances were completely different, and Xia Mu's memories of this period were not very clear, Xia Mu was able to make a rough conclusion based on the fact that Xiao Tian had participated in the previous Quartz Conference and achieved a top-four finish.

He clearly remembered that at the beginning of the movie "I Choose You", there was a scene of a wonderful battle between Satsuki and Sora in a certain tournament. Although he didn't know their ranking, he was sure it was either the final or the semi-final, otherwise it wouldn't have been selected to be shown separately.

It looks like it's going to be a semi-final showdown now.

Xiaotian lost to Kongnan, and Kongnan advanced to the finals but lost to the champion.

Otherwise, the information about the male protagonist would be that he was the champion of the previous Quartz Conference.

Thinking of this, Xia Mu felt hopeful again.

I wonder how good Xiaotian really is?

Once Xia Mu saw the levels and strengths of Xiao Tian's Pokémon, he could truly determine the approximate strength of a league champion, and from this, he could deduce the strength level of the Elite Four members in this world, as well as the strength level of the regional champions.

Actually, now that they know the target is Xiaotian, Xia Mu can confirm, based on the information he obtained from his previous conversation with Ali, that Ali is at least a top-four to top-eight level trainer.

According to this algorithm, the maximum level for league champions should not exceed level 60.

No! It's not even level 55.

At most, it's just over level 50.

……

My thoughts drifted away, and I fell into deep thought.

Soon, Ali and Xiaotian's playful banter ended, and their calls brought Xia Mu back to his senses.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something and got lost in thought," Xia Mu said.

Ali and Xiaotian naturally didn't mind, and then the three of them started talking about Pokémon, focusing on Xia Mu's Lucario and the red Gyarados, which was what attracted Xiaotian.

Furthermore, Xiaotian showed Xia Mu a video.

It was the short video that Xia Mu had sent out earlier, and I didn't expect it to have so many likes and comments.

Xia Mu posted it very naturally, without expecting it to receive so much attention.

Little did I know that I would become a celebrity without even realizing it.

No, it's Lucario, Gyarados, Growlithe, and Beedrill that have become celebrities.

After all, he wasn't in the video.

As for where he took the photos, no one will know.
