Pokémon World Adventure

Standing on the deck of the returning boat, Minato wrapped his coat tightly and glanced at Yuko Ueki who was standing next to him from time to time.

And Yuko didn't hide her gaze, staring openly and openly at Minato, her eyes burning as if she wanted to see through his heart...

At the end of the award ceremony, Ueki Yuko generously gave all the two awards mentioned before and after to Minato. Because of this, people from other factions thought that Minato had been recruited by the Ueki family and did not bother Minato anymore. In this way, Minato took his grand prize and boarded the same returning ship as Ueki Yuko.

"Um...Ms. Ueki, do you know me?" Minato couldn't help but ask. The other party's behavior was too weird. Fortunately, she was a beauty. If any sturdy man dared to stare at him like this, Minato would have already died. Fist greeting!

"I know."

Huh! ? Have you seen this person before? Minato frowned but couldn't remember that he had ever seen Yuko Ueki.

"Your name is Kamiya Minato. Didn't we just meet each other? Haha, we are about the same age. You can call me Shangmu or Yuko." Yuko chuckled, and when she smiled, she didn't cover her mouth like other noble ladies. , looking particularly comfortable, Minato vaguely saw a familiar figure on her...

This person should be easy to get along with, and he did not put himself in a high position during the conversation. He looked more like a capable trainer than a noble child. Minato thought about it silently, and Yuko Ueki suddenly appeared. He also gave him a big gift. He couldn't be too busy with too much money.

"Then just treat it like we know each other. I don't like to talk around people. Why did Ms. Shangmu suddenly increase the reward for me? If you want to recruit me for the Shangmu family, then please take the things back. Right." Minato made it clear directly that it was just the first time for the two of them to meet, so Yuuko Ueki would do this because she had some requirements.

However, Ueki Yuko is very upright in her work and does not do anything behind people's backs. If she secretly increases the reward and finally uses this to return the favor, then no one will pay attention to her. Why should she not say anything about the award she worked so hard to win? Hibiki still owes you a favor?

Like now, what Yuko did by walking directly to the front desk made it completely clear to Minato that she was at least much better than those villains. At least Minato's impression of her was not bad, so it didn't hurt to ask the other party's purpose.

"Haha, it's not solicitation. I've seen your information and am very interested in you as a person. I just want to make friends with you." Yuko tilted her head and said, her wandering eyes finally fixed on the exquisite wrist guard on Minato's right hand. superior.

"Friends?" Minato frowned, "In this way of showing kindness?"

"Favour? No, no, no, it just happened to happen. You just happened to win and this method can help me get in touch with you as quickly as possible. If your self-esteem is so fragile that you can't even accept this, you can Return the prize, my goal has been achieved anyway." Yuko smiled, she said exactly what she thought and didn't hide it.

"Such values ​​​​are not so much friends. What you are looking for are allies. Why me?"

"Of course I have my own judgment on this. I think you have a good chance of betting on you. Whether it's a friend or an ally, just understand that I don't mean any harm."

Well, the rare energy item seems to be closely related to the eldest daughter of the Yuto family... Yuko said while secretly writing down her inference.

Minato also roughly understood Yuko's behavior and thoughts. This woman who seemed to be a trainer was still a noble at heart, doing things that were beneficial and making friends with capable people. The Ueki family is the same as other big families. It is impossible for Ueki Yuko to be the only heir. If Minato recognizes Ueki Yuko, then he will be on her side from now on, and there is no need to actually stand for anything. A good team can support the scene. Do you want to invest...

Yuko saw that Minato stopped talking and said with a smile: "It seems that you are willing to accept this 'gift from a friend'."

& nbs

p; "If I turn my back on you in the end, won't you suffer a huge loss?"

"I think I still have this bit of vision."

"haha, really."

Minato smiled and said nothing. He really had no reason to refuse. Forming such a mutually beneficial relationship with Ueki Yuko would be beneficial to both parties. No, as of now, only Minato could benefit.

The Shangmu family is extremely powerful and has extremely rich resources. For Yuko to be sent to manage this place, he must be one of the best among the younger generation in the family. As long as he allocates part of his resources, he can grow rapidly.

Although Minato now has a little more money, if he wants to conquer many elves and continue to improve, it is not enough to rely on time accumulation. Skill CDs, potions, training props, and even electric beasts and big rock snakes also need expensive evolution props if they want to evolve. I don’t know how much energy it takes to raise all kinds of materials.

No matter how talented a person is, he will be dragged down by time and become mediocre.

With Yuko's help, Minato can solve this problem and allow him to go further!

The benefits don't stop there. Ueki Yuko belongs to a noble force, while Minato is just a trainer. Having such a person standing behind him will make many things much easier. Even if Minato becomes a champion in the future, he will also need such allies. exist.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss, so why should Minato not accept it.

On the other side, Yuko also settled a score in his mind.

First of all, Minato Kamiya’s talent potential is absolutely top-notch!

The youngest winner of the Challenger Gallery is not bragging. She can defeat Eric head-on in less than a year's travel time. This future development prospect is really great. Maybe it won't be long before she can become a towering tree big enough to protect her. !

Secondly, the relationship network.

As long as you know someone, you are connected to that person's own network. Although Minato has an ordinary status, the people he meets are extraordinary. Shiba, the Four Heavenly Kings, is a top figure in the trainer circle, and Dr. Oki is a peak and outstanding figure in the scientific research community. The Yuto family where Fujisei Dai belongs to is also one of the few famous families, and there are many other scattered people. The connections are already quite scary.

In the end, it’s all about the Rockets.

Whether it was the incident on Mount Tsukimi or the Santo Anno, what Minato had done could not be hidden from the intelligence network of people like them.

The Shangmu family declined because of the actions of the Rockets and the Alliance. Now the Alliance is the dominant family. Of course, the Shangmu family has surrendered to the alliance early, but the Rockets are still the hostile party.

Being able to defeat his rivals repeatedly is enough to show that Minato has some unique qualities. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and if he joins forces with Minato, the relationship between the two parties will at least have an extra layer of security before the behemoth that is Team Rocket falls.

Well, it’s a sure profit but no loss.

The two people, who had their own considerations, looked at each other and smiled, and the cooperation was officially established.

"Oh, right. Since we are already 'friends', can I be exempted from destroying the pontoon's tent..." Minato said shamelessly.

"Huh? Destroyed the pontoon... you are talking about the time when you fought Eric, right? Don't you know that all the damage caused by the trainers fighting in the Corridor Challenge will be borne by the Shangmu Group? Besides, it should be compensated. Let Eric, a wealthy man, pay the compensation.”

"Hey, don't you need to pay for it!?"

You should have said this kind of thing earlier, why are you working so hard for... Wait, what did this person say in the end...

"You know Eric?!"

This surprised Minato even more than knowing that he didn't have to pay compensation...
