Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 510 Yeci's Talent Recruitment Plan 2
Du recognized the other person at a glance.

Wasn't that the trainer he had sparred with at the dinner party in Unova before?

What the hell does this happen?

He thought for a moment, then made a video call to Xiaochun and asked, "What happened?"

Xiaochun answered in detail: "In short, a champion trainer became a rancher after retiring. Some netizens didn't believe in his ability and went to the ranch to verify it. It turned out that he hadn't even beaten the dairy goats that produced milk."

Du: “…”

After a moment of silence, Du said, "That trainer is indeed very strong."

Hearing this, Xiao Chun on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned: "Huh? You know him?"

Du hummed and nodded: "We met once before. We had a sparring match by chance."

"Who won?" Xiaochun suddenly became interested.

Du: "...I lost."

"Oh~" Xiaochun said meaningfully: "From this point of view, 90% of the rumors circulating on the Internet are true!"

"What rumors?" Du asked puzzled.

"You don't know?" Xiao Chun was a little surprised.

"I have been carrying out missions during this period. I have changed my identity and have hardly been online." Du explained truthfully.

Hearing this, Xiao Chun understood.

She was also quite interested in the trainer, so she started chatting with him with great interest.

"That man is the most mysterious person in the Padiya region. It is said that he traveled around the world many years ago and his strength has already reached its peak."

"Later, he retired and gave up being a champion trainer. Instead, he brought his Pokémon to the Padiya region and started running a ranch."

"There are rumors online that even if a trainer successfully passes the gym challenge, collects eight badges, and passes the championship assessment of the Padiya League."

"But becoming a champion trainer doesn't mean the end of the road. Only by going to a ranch and defeating the rancher head-on can you become the undisputed strongest person in the Padiya region."

Hearing this, Du was slightly stunned.

He really didn't expect that the young man actually had such a story...

Will you give up your status as a champion and choose to live a peaceful life with your Pokémon?
At this moment, Xiaochun on the other side of the screen suddenly seemed to have made up his mind.

"It's decided! I'm going to the Padia region to have a Dragon Pokémon exchange party with the owners there!" she said.

Continuing the special training in the Dragon Sanctuary will no longer be effective for Xiaochun.

Because she grew up here, she is extremely familiar with every blade of grass, every flower and tree, as well as every dragon-attribute Pokémon living here.

As for his cousin's plan, Du felt it was a good choice after a brief thought.

"He is very powerful. If you fight him, maybe you can learn something new from the battle." Du said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xiaochun immediately used the Rotom phone to order a flight to the Padya region.

December 201, year 3 of the alliance calendar.

A plane full of passengers took off from Yanmo City Airport and flew to the distant Padya region.

At the same time, on the ranch, Naoki was having a video conversation with Yeci.

Ye Ci on the other end of the phone had an elegant smile on his face.

"Oh my, I also watched the live broadcast of the visit a few days ago! Thanks to you, more and more trainers from other places have been attracted to the Padia region recently!"

Naoki: “…I already feel it.”

I have to say that these netizens are really enthusiastic. Since the live broadcast ended that day, many foreign tourists come to the ranch every day.

There were even some anchors who were trying to take advantage of the popularity. They didn't come to fight but just to check in, which made Naoki miserable.

Until yesterday, he said to a streamer with a serious expression: "If you want to come here to check in and shoot a video, then I will refuse to accept the challenge. Only trainers who really want to have a Pokémon battle are welcome here."

This situation is better.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ye Ci's eyes rolled around, and then she thought of an idea: "I have a good idea, do you want to hear it?"

Naoki was slightly startled: "What?"

Then I heard Ye Ci say, "Work with the Padiya Alliance to set some restrictions for challenging the ranch."

"For example, if an outsider wants to challenge the ranch, he needs to obtain the eight badges of the Padiya region, or become a champion-level trainer recognized by the Padiya League, before he can be qualified to challenge."

"In this way, the Padia Alliance can help you share a lot of trainers who come to challenge you."

Naoki: "..."

He immediately saw through Ye Ci's plan.

Ye Ci was secretly plotting against the talents who came to the Padya region!
First, select outstanding talents by challenging the gym, and finally retain foreign talents through the generous treatment of the Padya Alliance.

If there are more people coming to challenge, there will always be a few talents willing to stay in the Padya area, so as to realize Ye Ci's plan of recruiting talents.

I have to say, this is indeed a good plan!

Especially for the ranch, this would help screen out some trainers for him.

Thinking of this, Naoki agreed immediately.

But after thinking for two seconds, he added: "This rule does not apply to trainers from Padia. As before, I will receive them based on their strength and character."

Before the bear apprentice grows up, he still needs to get some benefits from those trainers.

Practical training, experience in battling Pokémon of different attributes, etc.

Hearing this, Ye Ci immediately couldn't help but praise Zhishu:

"Why didn't I think of this idea? Oh, if I do this, maybe it will attract some trainers to move to the Padia area. It's a really good idea. Let's decide!"

Naoki: “…” Okay, that’s very kind.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ci started to arrange the plan.

Naoki didn't know what she had done specifically, but soon he discovered that the challenger who came to visit his ranch had returned to his previous self.

Naoki was very happy about this.

However, at the same time, Jinhui Town, Niangguang City, Shuangmoshan Gym, and Boping City, it can be said that every gym in the Padia area has welcomed a large number of challengers.

Looking at the trainers guarding in front of his gym, Aoki felt a darkness before his eyes.

What is the Chief planning?
Aoki looked up at the sky tiredly, the hair on his forehead fluttering stubbornly.

there is always a solution to a problem.

It is the job of a social person like him to receive challengers. He cannot escape or avoid it.

Aoki sighed, then picked up his briefcase and walked through the crowd towards the gym.

At the same time, Xiaochun, who came from the Johto area, landed on the airport runway in Niangguang City.

She looked at the official notice issued by the Padiya Alliance and murmured:
"If you want to challenge the strongest mysterious trainer in the Padia region, you need to meet the following conditions. If you meet any one of them, you will be eligible to challenge.

1. Have eight gym badges in the Padiya region and have participated in the King Challenge.
2. Defeat the Four Heavenly Kings of Padiya, fight against any champion-level trainer, and become a champion-level trainer. "

"Huh?" Xiao Chun was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

But her eyes soon lit up with interest.

Challenge the gym?
As a dragon user like Watari, Xiaochun considers herself to be the best dragon master in the world.

In the Johto region, even the Four Heavenly Kings were no match for her, and the only battle she lost was against the current champion Watari.

"Hmm, interesting." Fighting against such a powerful champion trainer is a rare opportunity for any trainer.

Xiao Chun thought back to his training since childhood, and felt that it was too easy to get the chance to fight against that person just like this!
"Challenge the gym to collect badges?" Xiaochun sighed softly, "This is really nostalgic!"

She had done this with her Pokémon before, and won the Silver Conference, defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, but unfortunately fell to the final champion.

After experiencing this all over again, Xiao Chun suddenly wanted to know to what extent her strength had been improved as a result of her practice.

In that case, let’s start the challenge from the nearest Brewing Light Gym!

*
Qishu has suddenly become very busy recently.

Every time Naoki had a video chat with her, he could see the fatigue on Qishu's face, as if he was seeing a second Aoki.

At first, Naoki didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing Naoki who was confused, Qishu said in a resentful tone:

“I don’t know who reported this method of recruiting talent to the chief.”

Naoki suddenly felt guilty.

Seeing his expression, Qi Shu snorted, then fell forward on the sofa and weakly raised a few fingers.

"Huh... Today, the Electric Belly Frog and I have received more than a dozen challengers... Now we don't have the energy to move anymore."

Naoki: "Go drink a bottle of goat milk! Then have a good sleep, and you will be back to normal by tomorrow."

As he spoke, the Electric Belly Frog ran over with a cup of goat milk in his short little hands.

Qishu reached out to take it, and after drinking a glass of goat's milk, she immediately felt all the fatigue in her body disappear completely in an instant, and her whole body was full of energy.

"Oh, right!" Qi Shu suddenly remembered something: "The chief didn't buy this goat milk from you, did she?"

"She mentioned it, but I refused." Naoki answered truthfully: "There's no other way. If I sell a large amount to the Padiya Alliance, I feel that the chief will force the alliance staff to work overtime by feeding them 13 cups of goat milk every day."

Qishu: "..."

The two looked at each other and then started laughing.

Ye Ci, who was working in the Padya Alliance, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Strange, I'm not sick either?"

Ye Ci couldn't figure it out.

"By the way, I might go to the Alola region in a few days." Naoki said to Qishu, "If you don't see me when you come to the ranch, I might have gone there, but I won't be gone for too long, I should be back soon."

"Alola?" Qi Shu asked in surprise, "What are you doing there?"

"I went to do something. I bought a ranch on Akara Island over there. When winter comes, we can take Gulden and the others there for a vacation. It is said that the Alola region has spring all year round, which is a very suitable place for leisure and vacation!" Naoki said.

After hearing what Naoki said, Qishu was also a little moved: "I have never been to the Alola region!"

"So, we can go over and take a look together then!"

Beautiful beaches, blue seas, tall coconut trees... and the unique Pokémon of the Alola region.

Naoki made up his mind to go there with Gulden tomorrow morning to check out the situation and then come back in the evening.

As for living there, Naoki is not considering it for the time being, because there are still many things on the ranch that he needs to take care of personally, and he can't just leave for weeks at a time.

At the same time, in the Kanto region.

Two islands with exactly the same appearance sit on the blue sea, looking like a pair of twins.

Because of this, people here call these two islands "Twin Islands".

In the sky, a Pokémon with yellow lightning feathers and extremely sharp eyes was staring at the island below.

That was the Zapdos that had separated from the Hero Expedition Team and was out on its own.

And this twin island is its destination this time.

After a long journey, the lightning bird finally arrived here.

It felt that Articuno's breath was on this island.

As long as he finds Articuno, Naoki can use its feathers to make magical buns that enhance his strength!
Not only Articuno, but also Moltres.

It’s just that Moltres is located in a farther place, so Zapdos plans to wait until it finds Articuno before going there to look for Moltres.

Thinking of this, the Lightning Bird dived forward and rushed towards the Twin Islands.

It followed the direction of Articuno's breath and moved forward. After flying for a distance, an ice cave appeared in front of it.

The lightning bird flew into the cave. The space inside the cave was very large and seemed to extend further down the island.

And the breath of Articuno came from that direction.

As the distance increases, the surrounding space becomes darker and darker.

But all this is nothing to the Zapdos. Its eyes are structured in a very special way, so it can see the surroundings clearly even in the middle of the night.

Gradually, it got closer and closer to Articuno.

After passing through an ice cave, an ice spring emitting milky white cold air suddenly appeared in front of us.

Above the ice spring, a large bird Pokémon with beautiful blue feathers was looking at them with a pair of elegant and calm eyes.

It has a crown on its head composed of three dark blue prismatic feathers. Compared to the Zapdos, Articuno's beak is very short and gray in color, and its blue transparent feathers made of ice are extremely beautiful.

But what is more attractive is the slender, colorful flag-shaped tail behind Articuno.

At this moment, seeing the Zapdos suddenly breaking into its territory, Articuno flapped its wings, waving its long tail and assuming a flying posture, its eyes calmly examining the Zapdos in front of it.
