Chapter 38
Eastern Alliance Tournament
Besides the campus competition, Wei Xin also found other extracurricular activities on the software, such as sharing your daily life with Pokémon, the most beautiful Pokémon in Shanghai, the cutest Pokémon in Shanghai, and sharing Pokémon training experiences. However, these activities don't earn many credits, only one or two points for participation.
After all, it's just a recreational activity.
Without saying a word, Wei Xin took a picture of Ralts playing games, and then combined it with previous photos of Ralts sleeping, Ralts with cat ears, and Ralts studying, and put them together on the computer for a little processing.
After improving the clarity and background, I registered her for the Most Beautiful Pokémon and Most Beautiful Baby contests.
"We're definitely going to win this round." Wei Xin murmured confidently after uploading the photo to the event page.
It's okay if you don't win; that's perfectly normal. Not everyone can appreciate Ralts' charm. Forgot about it in the middle? Goodbye, tasteless stuff.
(Of course, this excludes our dear readers.)
"What did you get?" Mary, who had just woken up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and was taken aback when she saw the blanket covering her. She seemed to realize something and her lips curled up slightly. She didn't notice Morbeco lying on her and lifted the blanket.
Morubé, even in his sleep, can be lifted into the air.
Morube can now use the Flying spell.
Morubes remembered that he couldn't fly.
With a thud, Morupec slammed onto the glass coffee table.
"Mobe~" Fortunately, Morbeko's body is relatively flexible.
With drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, Morbeco half-asleep raised his non-existent neck. Not smelling the aroma of food, he chose to continue sleeping.
"It's nothing. I'm planning to go out to buy some things. Could you please come with me, Miss Bodyguard?"
"Of course." Mary straightened her clothes, picked up Morbeko by the back of the neck, shook him a couple of times until Morbeko reluctantly woke up, and then held him in her arms.
Wei Xin walked to the side, cleaned up the mess for Ralts, and then hugged the somewhat annoyed Ralts, who was unable to defeat the AI.
Even though the trainer seemed to be playing so easily, Ralts felt there must be some secret she hadn't figured out.
Gently stroking the horn on his head to calm himself down, he turned around and saw that the Bad Frog had walked up to him, holding the shopping list written by Wei Xin in one hand and an onion in the other.
"Is there anything you want?" Wei Xin was considering whether to buy some gifts for Morbeko, the long-haired troll, and the bad frog.
Longhaired trolls would probably like conditioner and shampoo, Morbeko, buying some nuts would be fine, but for the bad frog, Wei Xin really couldn't think of anything to buy.
It would be great if telepathy could extend to Pokémon.
Wei Xin suddenly remembered a special ability that existed in the Pokémon world, which was known as one of the three great powers, along with Aura and Viridian. It was called the Overpower.
The effect is that it allows you to forcefully communicate with Pokémon, even directly with legendary Pokémon, and summon them directly if certain conditions are met.
The power of waveguides can be acquired either by innate waveguide users or through cultivation. The power of eternal life needs to be directly bestowed by nature. As for the power of overpower, Wei Xin knows very little about it.
The news that new players could obtain their starter Pokémon today spread like wildfire, and merchants flocked out to sell their wares. As soon as Wei Xin stepped out of his door, he heard all sorts of hawking cries.
"Big brand energy cubes are on sale! All 50% off! Big brand, quality guaranteed!"
[Actually, it's a generic energy cube with a different label.]
"Boost Ball, anyone want to buy Boost Ball? If you want to get good results in the competition, you need to use Boost Ball. After using it, the speed is faster than Godspeed and the power is stronger than the Great Self-Destruct."
[Ugh, this is so annoying! Why is Coral selling Enhancement Balls here?]
"Never mind, it's all the boss's task."
[Tomorrow I have to get up at 8 AM again, every single day, every single day at 8 AM, it's so annoying! This school that makes me get up at 8 AM every day, I'll get Ice Ghost Guard to use a self-destruct to send me flying into the sky sooner or later.]
"Personalized Pokémon training programs, professional trainers teach you how to raise Pokémon, and the next world champion could be you."
"Boss, are you a real professional trainer?"
[Nonsense, if I were a professional trainer, would I be here buying lessons?]
"Of course, look at my gym badges, they were earned step by step with my Pokémon through hard work."
Anyone want to join the Shout Team? Join now and get a free Miss Mary poster.
"Please support our Galar's number one idol, Miss Mari!"
"Miss Mary is the light of Galar!"
"Follow Miss Mary, follow Miss Mary, thank you meow."
"Speaking of which, Marie is clearly Galar's idol, so why did she come to Donghuang to study?" Wei Xin suddenly asked curiously as they walked down the street.
He remembered that Marie's brother was the Gym Leader of Spiketown in the Galar region, and that Marie herself was a Galar star.
"It's to promote Galar and Spiketown." Mary tugged at the front of her clothes, revealing the three large letters "Galar."
Thinking of the desolate state of their hometown, both Mary and Morubek couldn't help but sigh.
The profitability of Spiketown has been declining in recent years, and there's been no solution to the problem of not being able to use Dynamax there.
"Didn't they say that Donghuang was planning to hold an alliance tournament? If we can win the alliance championship, it should attract a lot of people to visit Spike Town."
In order to promote the East Huang region and to demonstrate the strength of the alliance, the East Huang Alliance allows everyone except for gym leaders, Elite Four members, and champions from other regions to register for the East Huang Alliance Tournament.
To save the increasingly desolate Spiketown, Miss Mary decides to fight and become the champion of the Eastern Alliance.
"I remember that players from other leagues need to participate and earn eight badges," Wei Xin asked. "How many badges does Mary have now?"
The Donghuang region already has a large population, and with the addition of players from other regions, the official estimate is that the number of participants in the alliance tournament will reach an astonishing number. In order to limit the number of participants, improve the quality of the players, and promote the alliance tournament, the Donghuang Alliance has established a series of review standards.
Regular students need to participate in campus competitions and regional leagues at various levels, and go through layers of selection to obtain the qualification for the competition.
It can also be considered a way to relieve stress for dojo owners in various regions.
After all, there are many people and trainers in the Eastern Empire. If everyone went to challenge the gyms, the gym leaders would be exhausted to death.
As for foreign students and non-student players, they need at least eight badges to qualify for the league.
However, Wei Xin still plans to try challenging the gym when he has time. After all, there are so many monsters in such a big area, he'll be itching to fight them if he doesn't.
"There are only four, after all, I've only been in Donghuang for a year," Mary said, "and I also have to take care of my studies."
[Furthermore, the gym leaders in Donghuang are more skilled than I imagined; I originally thought I could collect all eight badges in a year.]
"Four of them, as expected of Mary," Wei Xin praised.
To prevent suspicious individuals from entering Donghuang, facilitate management, boost Donghuang's economy, promote regional development, and align with the World Alliance, the Donghuang Alliance stipulates that members from other regions who wish to reside in Donghuang long-term must possess a stable and legal professional identity.
The majority of them are students, business consultants, researchers, and foreign university teachers.
For example, former Hoenn Champion Steven is currently a geology professor at Tenkyo University.
In addition, many companies have invested in Donghuang, including Lusamine's Ether Foundation.
