Early morning, the sound of Pokémon outside the tent woke Jiang Chen from his sleep.
"System, sign in."
[Ding, successfully signed in. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Golden Orange Berry x10, Points +100!]
"Another berry."
Most of the items obtained from daily sign-ins were berries, or evolution stones like Water Stones and Fire Stones that could help certain Pokémon evolve.
The only comforting thing was that the berries obtained from the system tasted better.
After washing up, Jiang Chen prepared breakfast. He was about to call Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue to eat, but after some thought, decided not to for now.
They had been walking all day in the forest yesterday, so he let them sleep in.
Around nine o'clock, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue finally woke up, both looking embarrassed.
"I actually overslept. Why didn't you wake me?" Xiao Luoxue patted her rosy cheeks.
"I was afraid of disturbing your sweet dreams, and that you'd chase me with a knife."
"Hmph, do I look that ferocious in your eyes?"
Xiao Luoxue snorted coldly at Jiang Chen, glaring at him in dissatisfaction.
After they had tidied up and eaten, Jiang Chen and the others weren't in a hurry to continue deeper into the forest. Just now, Jiang Chen discovered that the wild Pokémon nearby were quite strong.
He planned to stay here for a while, letting his Pokémon battle these wild Pokémon to hone their strength.
They could also gain points in the process. Winning battles would earn points. Although the points gained from defeating one Pokémon weren't much, they would accumulate.
"Sylveon, use Moonblast."
A pillar of energy struck a Pidgeot not far away, defeating this Elite Tier 9 Pidgeot.
There was a flock of Pidgeot here, and this flock of Pidgeot became Jiang Chen's training partners.
They had been here for two days, and in these two days, Jiang Chen's Pokémon had made significant progress. Xiao Luoxue's and Ling Wanqiu's Pokémon had also improved.
They had experienced many battles in these two days, so their battle experience had increased considerably.
"Pack up, let's get ready to go."
Today, Jiang Chen had already packed up the tent, preparing to continue deeper into the forest.
Ling Wanqiu and the others had no objections.
The three traveled in White Sandalwood Forest, training their Pokémon. They also encountered many Pokémon along the way, but because their talents weren't very good, they didn't catch any.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed in the forest.
After staying in White Sandalwood Forest for half a month, Jiang Chen and the others also planned to leave.
This trip to White Sandalwood Forest, besides Xiao Luoxue catching a Heracross, neither Jiang Chen nor Ling Wanqiu caught any Pokémon.
"Indeed, encountering rare Pokémon in the wild is harder than winning the lottery."
Perhaps their luck was bad. In half a month, Jiang Chen and the others didn't encounter a single rare Pokémon.
It was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven to catch precious and rare Pokémon in the wild.
In the beginning, Xiao Luoxue still yearned to encounter a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but in the end, she didn't even see a starter Pokémon.
When leaving the forest, Jiang Chen and the others didn't slowly walk out. They directly had Gardevoir use Teleportation to leave the depths of the forest.
Upon arriving in the city, they quickly washed up at a hotel.
Conditions were poor in the wild; they couldn't even find a place to shower.
"Phew, are you planning to return to Tianhai City?"
After eating and drinking to their fill at the hotel, Xiao Luoxue looked at Jiang Chen with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, are you coming with me to Tianhai City, or are you returning directly to the Imperial Capital?"
Jiang Chen also planned to participate in the Hidden Dragon Cup Trainer Tournament and challenge stronger opponents. It was time to start preparing.
Although there was still a long time until the tournament began, to qualify, one needed to challenge gyms and obtain eight gym badges.
"I don't have anything to do in the Imperial Capital. Of course, I'm going with you to Tianhai City. You won't unwelcome me, will you?"
After some consideration, Xiao Luoxue made her decision.
Hearing that Xiao Luoxue was going to return to Tianhai City with them, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ling Wanqiu's eyes. Of course, she didn't want Xiao Luoxue to continue following them.
It would be better if she and Jiang Chen went back alone.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen and the others flew from this city back to Tianhai City.
"Did you suffer?"
Back home, Ning Ya looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of heartache.
"The wild was indeed tough."
Xiao Luoxue nodded earnestly. Anyway, it was definitely not as comfortable as being at home. However, after half a month of training, her Pokémon had made great progress.
"It's alright. It's just a pity I didn't encounter any Pokémon worth catching."
Suffering or not wasn't a big deal for Jiang Chen; the main thing was that he didn't encounter any Pokémon with good talent potential.
In half a month, the only one he encountered with Elite Four potential was Heracross. Other Pokémon had at most only Elite Trainer potential.
No wonder Elite Four members were so rare. He only realized after going out that Pokémon with Elite Four potential were inherently so few.
"I've already prepared a big meal for you. Let's eat first."
"Ning Ya-jie's cooking still smells the best."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he was met with dissatisfied glances from the two girls. Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue glared at Jiang Chen in dissatisfaction, as if their cooking was particularly bad.
However, although their cooking wasn't bad, it truly couldn't compare to Ning Ya's. Jiang Chen had actually missed Ning Ya's cooking after half a month without it.
Anyway, just smelling the aroma made his mouth water.
"Gardevoir~!"
Looking at the large cake Ning Ya had prepared, Gardevoir's face also showed a happy expression.
"Ning Ya-jie, you said someone sent me a challenge letter?"
After eating his fill, Jiang Chen remembered what Ning Ya had told him a few days ago about a challenge letter.
Ning Ya nodded, then took out the challenge letter and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Seeing the challenge letter, Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu crowded over, their eyes filled with curiosity, wondering who had sent Jiang Chen the challenge letter.
"Who is Lin Hao?"
Upon seeing the name on the challenge letter, Ling Wanqiu asked in confusion.
"I know who Lin Hao is."
Xiao Luoxue raised her hand. "Lin Yuefeng has a cousin named Lin Hao. Could it be that he wants his cousin to stand up for him, and that's why this Lin Hao sent you a challenge letter?" "Yes, I investigated, and it is him," Ning Ya nodded to Jiang Chen.
She had also investigated the person who sent the challenge letter; it was indeed Lin Yuefeng's cousin.
"Here is Lin Hao's information."
Ning Ya had even collected all of Lin Hao's information.
Jiang Chen took the information and looked at it. Ning Ya had gathered quite detailed intelligence. All the Pokémon the other party owned were on this document.
"From your expression, you intend to accept the challenge?" Ling Wanqiu saw a flicker of interest in Jiang Chen's eyes and guessed that Jiang Chen might accept.
"That's right, why refuse? An opponent delivered right to my doorstep."
Accepting it would count as training his Pokémon anyway. He had nothing else to do, so he might as well play with them.
Lin Hao and his brother Lin Yuefeng were currently in Tianhai City. They had been in Tianhai City for many days.
That challenge letter was indeed sent by Lin Hao to help Lin Yuefeng.
However, Jiang Chen wasn't in Tianhai City before, so Lin Hao couldn't even meet Jiang Chen.
"Are you sure Jiang Chen is back in Tianhai City?"
"Yes, no mistake. Someone saw him leave the airport."
Lin Yuefeng nodded. They had been waiting in Tianhai City for Jiang Chen's return, and now they had finally waited.
"Tomorrow, I'll go directly to his home to challenge him. Don't worry, Yuefeng, I will definitely help you teach him a good lesson. There are plenty of genius trainers; he really thinks he's something special."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Bro. Be harsh. It'd be best if his Pokémon suffer some irreversible injuries."
Lin Yuefeng's eyes were full of hatred. Now he was completely disgraced. The title of "Imperial Capital's Number One Bullshitter" had been sticking to him.
At school, he felt mocking glances every day.
Lin Yuefeng attributed all this hatred to Jiang Chen.
"I'll try my best."
Lin Hao frowned slightly.
(cgce) Jiang Chen was not an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary person, making him disappear would be no problem. But Jiang Chen's father was the current Dragon-type Elite Four.
Moreover, it was rumored that he was about to challenge for Champion. If they went too far, even with a Champion grandfather, the consequences would probably be very serious.
The next day, the two brothers went directly to Jiang Chen's house.
"Young Master, Lin Hao and Lin Yuefeng, who sent you the challenge letter, have arrived. Should I let them in?"
Ning Ya inquired.
"It seems they've been watching my movements. They just came back yesterday, and they're already at my door today. If I don't accept the challenge, I'm afraid they won't give up so easily."
"A guest has arrived, Ning Ya-jie, let them in."
Jiang Chen didn't shut them out. He wasn't that petty.
Lin Hao and Lin Yuefeng entered. Seeing Xiao Luoxue sitting next to Jiang Chen, Lin Yuefeng's face darkened, and his eyes towards Jiang Chen were filled with jealousy.
His desire to get revenge on Jiang Chen was also partly due to Xiao Luoxue.
He had pursued Xiao Luoxue for so long, and she had always ignored him, yet she was so close to Jiang Chen. He had been so jealous of Jiang Chen that he was dying.
"You should have received the challenge letter, right?" Lin Hao looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain.
Although Jiang Chen's reputation was quite prominent now, as the champion of this year's freshman trainer competition, he was called the strongest rookie trainer of the year.
However, Lin Hao didn't really put Jiang Chen in his eyes. If it weren't to help Lin Yuefeng vent his anger, he wouldn't bother coming to bully a junior.
Lin Hao was already twenty years old this year, nearly five years older than Jiang Chen, and had graduated five years ago. He didn't think a newly graduated trainer would be his opponent.
"I did receive the challenge letter, but are you the one challenging me?"
"Is there a problem?"
Lin Hao listened to Jiang Chen's indifferent, even slightly disdainful tone, and his face showed displeasure. This kid isn't looking down on me, is he?
It seemed he really needed to be harsher. He loved teaching rookie trainers a lesson the most.
"You ask me if there's a problem, of course there's a problem. I want to ask if you're qualified to challenge me?"
Jiang Chen asked Lin Hao with a smile.
Jiang Chen was not a weak personality. He had clearly seen the disdain and contempt in this guy's eyes from the moment he entered.
Moreover, knowing from the start that the other party was coming with malicious intent to challenge him, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't be polite to them.
"That's right, that's right. If any pig, dog, chicken, or duck could challenge the champion of the freshman trainer competition, wouldn't Jiang Chen be exhausted to death?" Xiao Luoxue echoed.
Qualified? Pigs, dogs, chickens, and ducks?
Lin Hao's face turned green.
"You think I'm not qualified to challenge you? Jiang Chen, do you really think winning a freshman trainer competition means you're something special? Let me tell you, I'm challenging you out of respect."
"Heh heh, winning a freshman trainer competition isn't all that special, but have you ever won one?" Jiang Chen asked with a chuckle.
His light words directly broke Lin Hao's composure.
"Jiang Chen, if you have the guts, accept my brother's challenge."
Lin Yuefeng roared at Jiang Chen.
"You bullshitter have no place to speak here. I remember that over the years, in the freshman trainer competitions held, you're the only one who's been disqualified, aren't you?"
"Jiang Chen, you bastard..."
Instantly, a cold chill enveloped Lin Yuefeng. Lin Yuefeng, who was about to curse, saw Jiang Chen's cold gaze, and his words were immediately choked back.
"A challenge? Of course, I can accept. But we should also add some stakes to the win or loss. That way, it'll be more interesting. What do you think?"
Ignoring Lin Yuefeng, Jiang Chen looked at Lin Hao.
"Whoever loses kneels on the ground and calls the other 'Grandpa,' and it must be recorded and uploaded online. How about it?"
Lin Hao's face showed a cruel smile. He hoped Jiang Chen would agree, because he absolutely could not lose.
He had been a professional trainer for five years. Could he still lose to a rookie trainer who had just graduated recently?
Although he knew Jiang Chen had two Elite Four strength Pokémon, Dragonite and Beedrill, he wasn't without his own.
Hmm, this guy doesn't know that Beedrill is actually a Champion-strength Pokémon.
"Okay, no problem. I hope you don't back out when the time comes. If you do, the consequences will be very severe."
Jiang Chen agreed directly.
"Playing that big?"
Xiao Luoxue wasn't worried that Jiang Chen would lose. With that Beedrill, he was already invincible.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Ling Wanqiu, informing her of the situation and asking if she wanted to come watch the battle.
Yesterday, after returning to Tianhai City and having dinner at Jiang Chen's house, Ling Wanqiu went back to her own home.
The battle arena was chosen to be on the back mountain. There was a large open area on the back mountain, spacious enough to accommodate even Elite Four level Pokémon battles.
"Jiang Chen, I'm waiting for you to kneel and call me grandpa." Lin Yuefeng sneered.
When it was uploaded online, Jiang Chen would definitely be disgraced, and he would get to experience it too.
Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Yuefeng, then said, "Add him to the stakes for win or loss, otherwise, I won't accept this challenge."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Lin Yuefeng's face instantly darkened.
"Okay."
Lin Hao didn't ask Lin Yuefeng's opinion and agreed directly. Lin Yuefeng also had no objection. Anyway, in their eyes, they absolutely could not lose.
When the time came, the one kneeling and calling "Grandpa" would definitely not be them, but Jiang Chen.
"Every year, there are many genius trainers, but only a small portion of them can grow from genius to powerhouse."
"Why are you talking so much?" Jiang Chen asked impatiently.
"Metagross, I'll leave it to you."
"Typhlosion, come out."
Jiang Chen and Lin Hao simultaneously released their Pokémon. When Lin Hao saw Metagross, a smile already appeared on his face.
The smile was a bit wild. Although Metagross was a pseudo-legendary, in terms of type, his Typhlosion had the advantage, and his Typhlosion was Elite Four level.
What he didn't know was that Jiang Chen's Metagross had also reached Elite Four level. Type advantage didn't mean everything.
