Pokémon: Draw Shiny Zeraora at the start?

After Dan Di said a few more words to persuade Xu Ning to go to the Galar region, he and Xu Ning followed the referee's instructions to the podium to wait for the award from the alliance president.

After Xu Ning and Dan Di arrived at the podium, they found that Xiaozhi was also there. It turned out that Xiaozhi had successfully defeated a passerby trainer in the third place battle held at the branch venue and won the third place.

"Brother, are you done with the fight? Who won?" Xiaozhi asked expectantly.

"Xu Ning, who is this?" asked Dan Emperor puzzledly.

"This is Xiaozhi, my younger brother and the third place winner of this tournament." Xu Ning replied.

"Oh, hello, Xiaozhi, I'm Dan Di. Of course your brother won the match just now. Your brother is very strong. As his younger brother, you have to work hard." Dan Di said.

"Hello, Mr. Dandi, I know my brother is very strong! But I will not admit defeat. I will defeat my brother in the future!" Xiaozhi said passionately.

Dan Di admired Xiao Zhi's enthusiasm very much and praised Xiao Zhi a few more words. Xu Ning, Dan Di and Xiao Zhi chatted with each other. Finally, the alliance president came to the podium. When Xu Ning and the other two saw the alliance president, they immediately walked up and greeted the alliance president Damalanchi.

"Hello, the top three of this conference are truly better than their predecessors! Young people, the future belongs to you."

"Hello, President Damarange, I am Dantei, and I am from the Galar region." Dantei said politely to Damarangei.

"Oh? You are from the Galar region? How did you come to Kanto!" Damaranch said in shock.

From Damaranch's language, it is obvious that Damaranch knew about the Galar region, but he did not expect that people from the Galar region would come to the Kanto region because the distance was too far. After watching the finals, Damaranch knew that Dante was not from the region currently cooperating with the Alliance, but he did not expect it to be from the Galar region far across the ocean.

"I was sent here by the president of the alliance in our region. I want to discuss cooperation with you. The Galar region also wants to join the big family of the alliance so that more people can know about our Galar region." Dan Di said respectfully.

After hearing Dante's purpose, Damaranchi said:

"Okay, after the award ceremony, come with me and we'll talk about cooperation," said Damaranchi.

This incident happened suddenly, and Damalanchi was not mentally prepared, so he decided to end the award ceremony and take Dan Di with him to discuss the matter with other alliance leaders.

Then, the award ceremony began. Following the host’s enthusiastic introduction, the award ceremony was held amid the warm cheers of the crowd.

After the award ceremony, Xu Ning told President Damarangi about his idea of ​​challenging the championship in a few days. President Damarangi then asked someone to give Xu Ning a contact number and asked him to contact him when he decided to start the championship journey. After that, Dan Di also exchanged contact information with Xu Ning, said goodbye to Xu Ning, and left with President Damarangi.

"Brother, you have to challenge the road to championship!" Xiaozhi said loudly after Damaranch and Dandi left.

"Don't make noise, I want to challenge the championship road, what's wrong." Xu Ning said calmly.

"If this challenge is successful, I will be the first league champion in the Kanto region!!!"

Because the Dragon King of the Kanto region, the Dragon Master Du, is too strong, there is no league champion in Kanto. In fact, with Du's strength, he can be the league champion of the Kanto region, but he is both a king and an investigator, so he doesn't have the energy to be the league champion. This has led to the Kanto region championship being vacant.

"Yes, I want to challenge to become the league champion of Kanto and put a perfect end to my trip to Kanto." Xu Ning said full of fighting spirit.

"Okay! I support you! Brother! I believe in you! You can definitely become the champion of the Kanto League! In the future, I will snatch the league championship back from you!" Xiaozhi said ambitiously.

Xu Ning looked at the confident Xiaozhi and knew that he would not become the league champion of the Kanto region, but would become the first champion of Alola.

Xu Ning encouraged Xiaozhi a few more times, which made Xiaozhi full of fighting spirit. He didn't even plan to return to Pallet Town, and went directly to travel to the Johto region with Xiaogang, Xiaoxia and others.

Xu Ning remembered that Xiaozhi had to go back to Pallet Town to accept Professor Oak's GS Ball mission, and then go to the Orange Islands. Xiaozhi's travel route cannot be changed because of Xu Ning's butterfly effect. Another main reason is that Xu Ning was afraid that if Xiaozhi did not go to the Orange Islands, Professor Oak would entrust Xu Ning to go.

"Xiaozhi, don't rush to the Johto area. Go home first. Xiaogang and Xiaoxia also need to go home. If you don't go home for too long, your family will be worried." Xu Ning said earnestly.

Xiaozhi thought what Xu Ning said made sense, so he went home with Xu Ning, and then the group returned to the hotel to pack their luggage. When the group packed their luggage and prepared to return, Dan Di was hanging around at the door of the hotel, as if waiting for someone.

When he saw Xu Ning and his group coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said:

"Xu Ning, are you guys going back?"

"Yes, the conference is over. I plan to go home and rest for a few days, and adjust my condition to challenge for the championship."

"Um, okay, it's just that President Damaranch has something important to discuss, and I need you to go see him."

"What's the matter? You want me to go see him?"

"They didn't say what it was specifically about, but I think it might be related to the cooperation in the Galar region."

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Ning and his group followed Dan Di to meet President Damaranch. They arrived at the building where the Alliance held the Quartz Conference. Xiaozhi and his group were waiting in the lobby. Xu Ning and Dan Di took the elevator upstairs to meet President Damaranch.

After a while, the elevator reached the top floor. Xu Ning and Dan Di entered the president's office and saw Damaranch looking at the documents in his hand as if he was thinking about something.

"President Damaranchi, Xu Ning is here."

"President Damaranchi." Xu Ning greeted politely.

"Xu Ning is here, please sit down."

"President Damaranchi, what do you want from me?"

"Xu Ning, you also know why the Dan Emperor came to see me."

"I know a thing or two. I guess you're here to seek cooperation with the alliance."

"Yes, Dante is here to discuss cooperation with us on behalf of the Galar Alliance. Specifically, the Galar region is a spontaneous alliance, and they want to reach a cooperation with our alliance. They want us to make the Galar region public and promote the development of tourism in the Galar region. Also, the Galar region is a place that loves battles very much, so they want more trainers to travel to the Galar region, which can bring economic benefits to the Galar region and satisfy the battle desires of the Galar residents."

"Then what did they bring to the Alliance?" Xu Ning asked. Xu Ning didn't believe that the Galar region would not provide any benefits.

"The technology in the Galar region is very advanced. They have developed the method of using Rotom to strengthen mobile phones, forming the Rotom Phone, which can unify the Pokémon data from all over the world into one Pokédex through Rotom. This Pokédex is just one function of the Rotom Phone. It can also make appointments to challenge gym matches and check whether gyms are open for competition. There are even Rotom electronic referees to replace the referees of daily small competitions, which can reduce a lot of labor costs. Moreover, it seems that they have mastered the technology to breed Rotom, which can spread Rotom Phones and Rotom referees to every region. They are willing to hand over this technology and also give us part of the tourism income."

Xu Ning thought of the Rotom Cellphone and Rotom Referee during the Eight Masters Tournament in the later part of the anime, which indeed reduced a lot of labor costs, and nodded.

"Then what do you need me to do?"

Xu Ning had already noticed Damaranchi's intention, so he asked.

"The thing is, if the conditions proposed by the Galar region are true, it is a very tempting condition. The Alliance wants to agree to it. However, after all, no one in the Alliance has been to the Galar region and knows nothing about it. Therefore, they are full of doubts about the authenticity of the place. So they want to find someone to check whether the Galar region is the same as described by Dandi."

"So, you found me? Aren't there many Four Heavenly Kings and Champions in the League?"

"The four kings of the alliance all have important tasks to attend to, so it's inconvenient for them to leave for too long. The champions are busy attending to various large and small affairs and can't leave for the time being. Moreover, as an old region, our Kanto region must send people from our Kanto region to check on the Galar region."

"Then just send someone from the alliance."

"Because the Galar region is obsessed with battles, we will inevitably have to fight there to test the strength of the alliance, so we need to send someone with strength."

"So you're sending me?"

"Yes, because you are the new champion of the conference, and you are strong enough to defeat Emperor Dan, right?"

Xu Ning originally planned to go to the Galar region, so he asked:

"I can go."

Damaranchi's face immediately filled with smiles, and when he was about to praise Xu Ning,

"But what benefits does the alliance bring to me?"

Damaranchi didn't expect Xu Ning to ask this. Most conference champions would feel obliged to contribute to the alliance and would not ask for compensation.

"We can provide you with food, accommodation and transportation throughout the trip."

"That's it?" Xu Ning sneered. This alliance was really used to being capitalists. They didn't want to give any benefits and let others work for them.

"And what do you want in return?"

"Give me a membership card that gives me free access to Pokémon Centers around the world, and a Gengar Evolution Stone."

"Pokémon Centers are free."

"That's what you should do with the taxes paid by the people. I mean the membership card that gives you free food and lodging at the Pokémon Center."

"I know you have it. Every time you go to the Pokémon Center, there are VIP channels and VIP rooms." Xu Ning said lightly.

Damalanchi didn't expect that this was what Xu Ning wanted, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. What Xu Ning didn't know was that everyone who became the king of the league and the champion of the league had this card. Anyway, Xu Ning was going to challenge the championship, so this was just sending him the reward for his successful challenge in advance.

"Okay, the alliance accepts this condition. Gengar's Mega Evolution Stone is not in the alliance right now. When you challenge the Champion Road, go get it from Kikuko."

Kikuko, the poison king of the Kanto region.

Seeing that the old man Damarange agreed so readily, Xu Ning felt as if he had suffered a loss, but he didn't know where.

"So I'm going to leave for the Galar region now?"

"No hurry, let's discuss the information you need to collect, and then we will set off with Emperor Dan."

"Then I'm going to challenge the road to becoming a champion?"

"Yes, if you succeed in the challenge, it would be great to go there as the champion of the Kanto Regional League."

"Okay, then I'll inform you in advance that I'm going to challenge the Champions Road in a few days. You can ask the Four Heavenly Kings to wait for me at the Champions Road, so that I don't have to run around looking for them to fight, wasting time."

"Okay, I'll let them know."

Xu Ning nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then stopped talking. After talking with Dan Di for a while, Damaranchi signaled that Xu Ning and others could leave. So Xu Ning and Dan Di went downstairs to meet up with Xiao Zhi and his group and prepared to go home.
