Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Magnate~"

The King Bronze Elephant was very happy to be able to achieve victory for his trainer.

"Well done, sister~"

Anquan patted Qiuju's shoulder excitedly. Although they lost five out of six games, it was a very good result that they did not suffer a complete defeat. At least they still managed to save some face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Swampert. Come back and have a good rest." Xiaozhi took back the Swampert who had fainted on the ground.

Although Xiaozhi lost the game, he was not unhappy. After all, victory and defeat are common in the military, and losing one or two games will not affect Xiaozhi...

Xiaozhi then came to Qiuju and said, "This is a very exciting battle. Qiuju, you can try to challenge the league competition. When you experience fighting against various opponents, you will become stronger."

"Participating in the league competition?" Qiu Ju murmured, then raised her head and said, "I am going to participate in the joint conference. I want to play against you again in the joint conference."

"Well~ I'm really looking forward to meeting you at the joint conference." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

Yanhuo did not stop Qiuju from participating in the joint conference, and even planned to catch a few Pokémon with good potential for her as a trump card. After all, a granddaughter must be spoiled...

Seeing that Grandpa did not stop Qiuju from attending the joint meeting, Anquan looked at Grandpa expectantly, but Yanhuo did not buy it and just pretended not to see it...

Seeing this, Anquan couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Qiuju and I are both your grandchildren, why is Qiuju like a treasure, while I am like a weed?"

As for saying it out loud, even if I had 100 courage to give it to Anquan, I wouldn't dare to do it. After all, Yanhuo is a very strict elder...

drip~

At this moment...Professor Oak drove a silver Rolls-Royce here...

As soon as Professor Oak got out of the car, he asked, "Who has the Galar form of Moltres?"

"Hello~ You must be Professor Oak, I am Enflame, the owner of Galar Moltres." Enflame introduced himself.

"I'm Oak, nice to meet you." Dr. Oak shook hands with him with a smile and started chatting with him.

"Ugh~" Xiao Jian vomited crazily as soon as he got off the car, and felt like he was going to vomit out his bitter gall...

"Xiaojian, are you okay?" Xiaogang walked up to Xiaojian and patted him on the back with concern.

"I'm fine~ It's just that Professor Oak was driving too fast and I couldn't bear it." Xiaojian wiped the vomit from the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

"Xiaojian, come and drink some warm water." Xiaoxia handed Xiaojian a glass of water.

"Thank you, Xiaoxia~" Xiaojian took the water and started drinking it. After drinking the water, Xiaojian felt much more comfortable.

"Professor Oak, you've changed your car again? I remember you said that you were short of funds some time ago. How come you have money to change your car now?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Professor Oak, who was chatting with Yanhuo, explained: "Didn't you win the first champion of the Alola region some time ago? As a regional champion, you get funding every year, especially since you are the first champion, so the Alola League allocated a large amount of funding to you. Because you had already left the Alola region when the funding was allocated, the Alola League transferred the funding to me."

"Because you are a trainer from Pallet Town and you received your initial Pokémon from me, the League allocated a large amount of research funds to me. After all, I have trained a champion-level trainer for the League. Although Alola is only a small place and the championship is not valuable, the Alola League is at least a Pokémon League recognized by the League."

"So the money allocated to me by the General Alliance alone can alleviate my financial difficulties, and there will be enough money left for me to replace my Ferrari with a Rolls-Royce." Dr. Oak explained.

"So there's money to be made for being a Pokémon champion?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

"Of course. Regardless of whether you are the league champion or the league king, the league will allocate a sum of money every year as funding for your activities. After all, raising Pokémon is an astronomical figure." Professor Oak explained.

"That's right~ I heard that a regional champion had no money and went around taking advertisements from businesses. He even made those advertisements into a cape and draped it over his shoulders." Xiaogang said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Even the Cerulean Gym has to rely on my three sisters' water ballet performances to make money. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to support so many Pokémon." Misty agreed.

"So sometimes I envy Xiaozhi. After all, no matter how many Pokémon Xiaozhi captures, Professor Oak will help raise them. Xiaozhi doesn't have to worry about it at all and doesn't have to pay any fees." Xiaojian interrupted.

At first, Jian thought that Professor Oak raised Pokémon for all trainers who set out from Pallet Town for free, but after Jian became Professor Oak's assistant, he found out that except for Xiaozhi and Xiaomao, all trainers raised Pokémon for a fee. After all, there are so many trainers who set out from Pallet Town every year, and Professor Oak doesn't have so much money to help them raise Pokémon for free, so they all charge a certain fee. Only Xiaomao and Xiaozhi have Professor Oak to help them take care of Pokémon for free.

It's normal that Xiaomao doesn't need to pay any fees as Professor Oak's grandson, but Xiaojian can't understand why Xiaozhi doesn't need to pay any fees...

"Hehe~ So that's how it is." Xiaozhi grinned.

"Xiaozhi, I have been keeping your championship funds for you. From now on, a sum of money will be transferred to this card every month." Professor Oak handed a black card to Xiaozhi.

"Professor Oak, you should keep this card. Just give my mother some money to help with household expenses." Xiaozhi did not accept the black card.

For Xiaozhi, it is enough to have enough money on him. It is not good to carry too much money. Moreover, Professor Oak has been taking care of Pokémon for him for free for so many years, so he should give something back.

As for why Professor Oak helped him take care of Pokémon for free, Xiaozhi certainly understood the reason.

The current Xiaozhi is no longer the silly boy he used to be. He of course understands that the Xuecheng he once met is now Professor Oak, and Pikachu is actually the one that Professor Oak specially left for him.

"Okay~ I'll give some of the Alliance Coins to your mother then." Professor Oak certainly understood this, so he didn't bother to be polite with Satoshi and directly put the black card in his pocket.

Professor Oak changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaozhi, what is your next schedule?"
