I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

What is he investigating? Xia Zhihai did not specify, but he undoubtedly wanted to find out whether there was some other force behind the poster, or whether the up-loader was just seeking fame at all costs.

The latter situation is not uncommon. Although there is no concept of internet celebrities in this world, some people who are keen on gossip about famous trainers can also live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Some people may ask, won't offending the trainer bring trouble? In fact, with clear legal protection, moderate gossip will not bring substantial trouble, which is exactly why they dare to do so.

Xia Zhihai did not comment on this, but instead thought it was a great opportunity.

If the studio can use this incident wisely, it will have the opportunity to greatly increase its visibility and possibly use it to develop a truly high-end luxury-level energy cube.

Finally, it would not be difficult to form a corporate group and open up the product to grassroots trainers as long as it was mentioned briefly at the national competition.

As for whether someone will interfere...

The existence of the Black Elf Organization has been confirmed, and with the prominent name of Ye Ranran as a barrier, no matter how strong the capital is, they can only make small moves at present.

Despite being the daughter of a wealthy family, Ye Ranran was unable to figure out Xia Zhihai's inner thoughts.

After hearing Xia Zhihai's analysis, she immediately responded: "Wait a moment, I'll check it now!"

Three minutes later, Ye Ranran's voice came from Xia Zhihai's phone again, her tone was cold and stern: "It has been found out that there is no one behind the scenes."

"This is purely because that guy is lazy and greedy. After he ran out of money, he turned his greedy eyes to you."

"Don't worry, he will receive the punishment he deserves today!"

After hearing this, Xia Zhihai nodded slightly. Everything was just as he expected.

But he did not ask Ye Ranran to take action immediately, but said calmly: "There is no need to do this for the time being."

"Ms. Ye, don't you think this is a great opportunity for free publicity?"

"Actually, we just need to..."

Afterwards, Xia Zhihai revealed to Ye Ranran a reversal strategy that had been commonplace in his previous life.

Since the Internet and elven technology in this world have developed simultaneously and many complex methods have not yet appeared, Xia Zhihai's approach is more direct.

It is to direct and act out negative news by yourself! Whether it is by hiring a network of netizens or other means, the goal is to "smear" yourself on a large scale and create some seemingly conclusive "evidence".

If the plan goes well, Xia Zhihai may be able to make a fortune from it.

When she hung up the phone, Ye Ranran was speechless after being shocked by this series of actions.

Xia Zhihai stared at the negative comments and videos about himself on the Internet, and said to himself: "Don't blame me, I have to live too!"

The system store is updated daily. Is there really nothing good in it? In fact, it contains many treasures.

However, even if the product was of good quality and cheap, Xia Zhihai could hardly afford it.

Of course, it's not that they can't afford it at all, but the daily expenses of Vulcan Moth are huge, and Steelix is ​​also a big spender, not to mention the various props needed to train Pokémon.

Therefore, Xia Zhihai would not take the initiative to provoke others, but if someone wanted to kill himself, he would have no choice but to be ruthless.

After all, he has never been a good man, never...

After Ye Ranran replied with an emoticon saying "done", Xia Zhihai fell asleep.

The Vulcan Moth wanted to get into Xia Zhihai's arms, but regretfully found that it was already too big for Xia Zhihai... Its torso alone was nearly four meters long, plus the pair of gorgeous and wide wings.

Even so, Vulcan Moth was unwilling to return to the Poké Ball, but chose to maintain the most suitable temperature near the Summer Sea.

The next morning, when Xia Zhihai woke up, Vulcan Moth had returned to the Poké Ball, and Xia Zhihai did not notice that the pendant around his neck had flashed a few times.

"Is the world dark... or bright..."

For the first time, the pendant felt confused and wanted to understand the world more.

In its view, the previous world was only divided into black and white: it was a symbol of darkness, and Arceus was the embodiment of light.

However, in this world, human beings are not simply black and white; complexity is everywhere.

After washing up, Xia Zhihai prepared breakfast for the elves while browsing the messages on his mobile phone.

In the wild, he only cooks at night; in the city, he makes energy cubes both morning and night.

“There are so many people participating in the lottery?”

Looking at the numbers displayed on the phone screen, Xia Zhihai couldn't help scratching his head.

The number of people on the page is approaching 20,000. Although this number is not shocking when viewed alone, it must be taken into account that these people are all trainers and have the approval of at least eight gym leaders. They are the elite among the elite.

More importantly, this number is far from reaching its upper limit, but is just starting out.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be eight regional competition areas set up for the 20,000-person audition stage.

"Let's draw lots!"

Xia Zhihai shrugged and clicked the eye-catching "Draw" button in the center of the screen.

As the animation unfolds, a “D” appears on the screen, followed by a line of text:

"Dear Trainer Natsumi, you will be heading to the fourth division... the Demonic City!"

"Please get ready, the first round of auditions will begin in three days!"

"Three days later..." Seeing the venue and time arrangement of the competition, Xia Zhihai nodded secretly, feeling that the time given was more than enough.

Although the national competition is broadcast live on television and major online platforms every year, the focus is always on the finals in the capital.

Although the regional qualifiers also attracted audience attention and were broadcast online, the overall attention was only equivalent to that of an ordinary event.

Therefore, even though Xia Zhihai had watched many national competitions, he was still unfamiliar with the specific rules of the regional preliminaries.

"Before that, I must do my best to improve myself!"

Xia Zhihai secretly made up his mind to continue the high-intensity special training for the next three days.

At this moment, Xixi jumped into Xia Zhihai's room with a key in hand and said happily: "Son, your mother has drawn lots, and we have been assigned to Zone A, which is the first zone of the South City Division!"

Looking at this Xixi who was always looking for opportunities to take advantage of him, Xia Zhihai rolled his eyes and responded: "It's a pity that I'm going to the Magic City. My silly daughter, I hope you can stand out from the sub-competition area!"

"Humph, you don't have to worry!"

After learning that she and Xia Zhihai were in different competition zones, Li Qianqian first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily.

Far from being harsh, this rebuke revealed a hint of naivety.

To be honest, Xia Zhihai was also relieved that he and Li Qianqian were not in the same competition zone.

At least, the two don't have to stage a showdown before the national competition.

"When do you plan to leave?"

After a brief frolic, Xia Zhihai asked Li Qianqian.
