I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

Crackling.

Li Ran stood at the entrance of his own gym, smiling, watching the passers-by. Above the entrance of the gym was a sculpture that looked like the medal logo.

Two firecrackers were placed at the main entrance to celebrate the opening of the dojo today.

“Is this a new store opening?”

The surrounding neighbors came out one after another to see if there was a new store opening that would take away their business, until the elf shop next door came out in a daze.

"As I recall, this is a level three gym?"

As soon as he said this, smiles appeared on the faces of the people around him. The uncle who was watching breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they were not trying to steal his business.

But he soon realized something was wrong. He had never heard of any gym that would set off firecrackers at its opening ceremony. He stood on tiptoe to get a glimpse of the scene inside the gym.

As a result, a scene that was completely beyond his expectations appeared in their sight.

A young man stood in the middle of the gym with a smile on his face, but...

Why are there so many food carts on both sides of the aisle at the gym entrance? What's with the thick smell of smoke and spices?

"How about that? Not bad, isn't it? When I was still building it a few days ago, I started looking for these uncles and aunts on the street. As long as they gave me a little stall fee, I would let them set up shop in front of my gym. Guess what happened."

Li Ran said with a look in his eyes.

"It was fully booked in no time. I tried many places and after many rounds of screening, I finally picked out these stalls with excellent taste and ingredients. They are so filling that I am dying of hunger."

Hong Pang was standing next to Li Ran and didn't know what to say. This man is definitely a business genius.

Because the gym does not need to advertise or attract customers. Anyone who wants to participate in the elite league competition in July must challenge the gym, and must collect six medals in a region. Medals collected across regions cannot be used interchangeably.

As for their Fangwen City, because a gym was poorly managed and was reportedly arrested, they lost a gym in the area and the number of challengers decreased a lot.

The reason why the previous Spark Cup was held here was to let the trainers know that the sixth gym here would reappear.

So if we were to ask where the highest flow of people is, it would definitely be the Pokémon Center and the Gym. Li Ran thought that those trainers might be hungry after the battle, so he actually set up stalls on both sides.

If you haven’t had breakfast, you can have some. It can replenish your energy after the game. It’s really awesome!

"Can you still do this?"

The onlookers were stunned for a moment, and searched their minds for a long time, but it seemed that they really couldn't find a rule that prohibited the random setting up of stalls.

"How about I come here too?! I'll sell test papers and materials!"

As soon as one of the bookstore owners spoke, he attracted a lot of people's attention.

Li Ran also heard it and hurried over. He had to praise him as a genius. You know, most of the trainers who came here to challenge were trainers with children. On the way home, they could buy a few stacks of test papers for their children to practice and take care of their children's studies.

It's really rare! Support! Must support!

Only the children who were watching were crying and pulling their parents' clothes and shouting, "Let's not have a gym match here!"

"I'll leave it to you guys from now on. I'll wait in the back. Remember to accept a maximum of ten trainer challenges a day. Do you understand?"

Li Ran came to the front desk and spoke earnestly to the pair of sisters.

"Understood, Master!"

The sisters spoke in unison, and the soft voice made Hong Pang's heart tremble.

"Where did you find such a pair of twins?"

"Do we even need to look for it? It must be sent by the Elf Association."

Li Ran rolled his eyes at him and thought to himself that he was superficial. Was he that kind of person? At the same time, he also lamented the twin genes in this world. People like Miss Joy and Miss Junsha looked the same no matter where they went.

But this pair of sisters is really pleasing to the eye, and they really fill the scene well.

"What do you think? Do you want to challenge me today?" Li Ran raised his eyebrows.

"No, I decided to challenge other gyms first. I will save you for last!"

Hong Pang chuckled and shook his head. He still remembered Xiang Ze's look of disdain during the Spark Cup. He said he would participate in this league no matter what.

"Okay then. I'll wait for you here. But it will be difficult then. You can't blame me."

Li Ran knew where Hong Pang's fighting spirit came from, so he didn't discourage him.

"Don't worry, I'm determined to let you see a different side of myself next time I come back."

Hong Pang patted his chest and spoke confidently. Li Ran also noticed that there was no one following him today, and he was carrying a large bag on his back.

"Leaving today?"

Li Ran still felt a little sad. After all, Hong Pang appeared in front of him every few days. Now he was leaving suddenly. It would be half a year without this noisy guy. He was really not used to it.

"Well, I've already told my parents that it's time for me to go and experience things on my own."

Although his Pokémons are not as abnormal as Li Ran's, they have all entered the ranks of elite second level, especially Vaporeon, who has already reached the threshold of elite third level. They are usually spoiled by him, so naturally they have slacked off in practice.

He also knew that if he continued like this, he would not be able to defeat Xiang Ze, let alone catch up with him.

"Besides, isn't this the Pokémon Center? There's video chat there. I'll let you know when I get there so you don't miss me."

Li Ran was amused by his words and punched him on the arm.

"Get lost, if anyone wants to, it must be your Feifei."

"Okay, it's almost time for me to go."

Hong Pang participated in the opening ceremony and had already bought his departure ticket. He looked at his watch and it was almost time.

"I can't send you off. There's nothing much to say. Have a good trip. Eat and drink. Don't treat yourself badly."

Li Ran said solemnly, looking at Hong Pang's figure walking farther and farther away after he turned around, and the hand still waving in farewell. Even if he had thousands of words to say, they could only be reduced to two words.

"Take care of yourself."

"Master, the ten people participating in today's battle are already in place, is that right?"

The visitor was the older sister of the sisters at the front desk, Ji Yu. The reason why Li Ran could tell her apart was because she had short hair while her sister Ji Yan had long hair. At this time, Ji Yu looked at him timidly. After all, this was their first contact with Li Ran. They were not very clear about Li Ran's temper and were afraid of making Li Ran angry.

"Well, let the first one come over first, and call the next one every half an hour after the battle."

Li Ran nodded, turned around and said.
