Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

No one expected that Xia Yu would go from being ranked over 100th to second place in just one day.

Zhao Zhigang glanced at Xia Yu who was enjoying the cheers, then turned around and left silently.

Failure was a constant throughout his life. No matter how hard he tried, he never won a championship.

Xia Yu looked at Zhao Zhigang's leaving back, frowned slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Although he won the game with a completely crushing victory, the incident in which Desert Dragonfly dodged twice still left a deep impression on Xia Yu.

Zhao Zhigang doesn't seem as simple as he appears.

Backstage, Xia Yu said to Eve, "Eve, please help me find some videos of Zhao Zhigang's past matches."

"Zhao Zhigang?" Eve was slightly stunned. Why was she looking for Zhao Zhigang's video? Shouldn't Qin Yuncong be the biggest threat to you?

Although she was full of doubts, Eve looked at Xia Yu's serious expression and nodded and said, "Okay."

…………

At night, a cool breeze blows in the giant laboratory.

After a day's competition, Xia Yu was exhausted both physically and mentally.

After playing twenty games, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

But we finally made it into the top two and can advance to the final. All we have to do in tomorrow's game is wait for the challenge from others.

Xia Yu sat in the office, lying on his back in a soft chair, his eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of him, watching the replay of Zhao Zhigang's game carefully.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and Sylvia, wearing a miniskirt and high heels, opened the office door and walked in with a plate full of fruit in her hand.

"Xia Yu, eat some fruit. Are you still watching the video of Zhao Zhigang's game? Didn't you win easily today?" Sylvia put the fruit on Xia Yu's desk and said softly, "You've been busy all day. Take a rest and watch it tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll finish watching this video right away." Xia Yu nodded in response, but his eyes were always on the computer.

After playing a simple game with Zhao Zhigang today, he developed a certain interest in Zhao Zhigang.

This made Sylvia roll her eyes, thinking she was unromantic. It was a pity that I even put on makeup and sprayed perfume so late at night.

Although she was full of complaints about Xia Yu in her heart, Sylvia found a chair and sat next to Xia Yu, peeling the grapes one by one and feeding them into Xia Yu's mouth.

"Well... no need, I'll do it myself." Xia Yu was still a little reserved. He turned to look at Sylvia, waved his hand and said.

"Watch the video carefully, I'll help you." Sylvia didn't give Xia Yu a chance to refuse, and fed them one by one into Xia Yu's mouth.

…………

A few minutes later, Xia Yu turned off Zhao Zhigang's game video.

"How is it? Boss Sakaki, did you see anything?" Sylvia asked with a smile when she saw Xia Yu turned off the video.

"Hmm..." Xia Yu lay on the chair with a thoughtful look on his face, and said, "I just watched his games in the past year and found that he has defeated opponents who are much stronger than him more than once."

"Although his Pokémon's aptitude is not particularly high, their combat awareness and combat capabilities are very strong. Just like in today's match, his Desert Dragonfly was able to dodge Dragonball's attacks twice in a row, and even dodged the Lurker's surprise attack. This is very abnormal."

"It seems that the Pokémon Association has a reason to rank him third, despite the opposition of many people. In addition to his impressive results in the last gym leader ranking competition, he must have extraordinary abilities."

Xia Yu's words made Sylvia show a hint of curiosity, and she asked with a smile: "Master Sakaki, are you still worried about losing to him?"

Listening to Sylvia's teasing, Xia Yu also smiled: "I'm not saying that I'm worried about losing to him. I'm just curious about how he trained a group of Pokémon with unremarkable talents to be like this."

"Actually, I just checked Zhao Zhigang's information. Do you know what netizens think of him?" Sylvia said with a smile.

"How do you rate it?"

"They say he is the light of the common people, the god of war of the common people." Sylvia said seriously, "I read online that Zhao Zhigang has participated in seven gym leader ranking competitions. In the first three competitions, he ranked extremely low and no one paid attention to him at all."

"Since his fourth participation in the gym leader ranking tournament, he has gradually come to the fore. With the help of a group of Pokémon with mediocre qualifications, he has made it into the top 50."

"When he participated in the gym leader ranking tournament for the sixth time, his Pokémon lineup began to gradually change, and he even made it into the top ten for the first time in history."

"The last session was also his seventh time participating in the Gym Leader Qualifying Tournament, and it was also his best result ever, third place."

"His results are always better than the last. Originally everyone thought he would be the best candidate for the next Imperial Capital Dragon Hall Master, but... the appearance of you and Qin Yuncong made everyone more optimistic about you."

Listening to Sylvia's words, Xia Yu also nodded: "I always feel that he will be a more difficult opponent than Qin Yuncong. But when the enemy comes, the general will stop him and when the water comes, the earth will cover it."

"I have prepared Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Dynamax to deal with him. Winning should not be a problem."

…………

The next day.

Now that everyone knew that Xia Yu was back, no one chose to challenge Xia Yu.

As a result, by the end of the first stage of the gym owner ranking competition, Qin Yuncong and Xia Yu were directly admitted to the semi-finals with the first and second place respectively.

In the next half month, the other eight contestants ranked from third to tenth will compete for the last two spots in the final four through two rounds of eliminations.

Xia Yu also had a rare rest time, and he planned to take advantage of this time to go to the capital to visit Xiao Wanyu and Lele.

But before Xia Yu could leave, he received bad news.

…………

"Hello. Xia Yu." Liu Yunxuan's voice sounded.

"Hello. What's the matter?" Xia Yu stretched and answered.

After seeing that it was Liu Yunxuan calling, Xia Yu had a bad feeling.

Could something have happened to Xiao Wanyu and Lele? Liu Yunxuan would only call if something had happened to Xiao Wanyu?

"To make a long story short." Liu Yunxuan's voice sounded: "Ms. Mu Zi flew back to the Magic City today after the International Pokémon Exchange Tournament. She wanted to give Wanyu a surprise. By the time we knew the news, it was too late to move. Then she saw Xiao Wanyu and Lele."

Listening to Liu Yunxuan's words, Xia Yu's breath was choked, and he felt a headache: "Then what?"

"Then Miss Mu Zi kept asking who the father of the child was... Wan Yu didn't say."

"In the end, the two of them had a quarrel, and Miss Mu Zi took her luggage and left. We found out that she had booked a flight to the imperial capital. She should have come to see you."

Xia Yu held his forehead with his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I know. How is Wanyu? Tell her not to get angry, and don't let her get angry and hurt her health."

"She's... fine. I'm just a little worried about Miss Mu Zi."

"Well, don't worry, leave this to me." Xia Yu said, "By the way, the house in the giant laboratory is almost renovated. Tell Wanyu that you can find a time to move in."

"Yes. I will tell Wanyu."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu sat in the chair in silence.

What should come is always coming.
