"Um, actually, I'm a fan of yours. Could you give me an autograph?"
On the podium, a young man looked at Lu Ze with worshipful, excited eyes as he asked him.
"Ha, of course."
Lu Ze smiled, picked up a marker, and signed his name on the Senior level champion's white T-shirt.
"This is awesome!"
The champion cheered excitedly. "It's a shame Snorlax isn't here. Otherwise, I would've wanted him to leave a paw print too."
The champion was delighted. He liked Lu Ze, but he liked Lu Ze's Snorlax even more.
Because of Lu Ze's Snorlax, he had chosen Snorlax as his starter Pokémon as well.
Unfortunately, he had asked Lu Ze the moment he went onstage, and Snorlax had not come along.
It was precisely because Snorlax had not come that he had settled for Lu Ze's autograph.
The champion's Snorlax was also his ace Pokémon. It was at Senior level and looked close to breaking through to Elite Four level.
However, no one could say when it would successfully break through.
This champion was a student from Jing University, while the runner-up was from Shangqing.
And the runner-up was an old acquaintance of Lu Ze's.
"That's a little embarrassing, huh."
Lu Ze looked at Ning Nuan Nuan, who was holding the runner-up trophy, and teased her with a grin.
"The Pokémon strength restrictions were way too strict. Otherwise, my Elite Four level Pokémon definitely could've beaten him."
After huffing twice, Ning Nuan Nuan spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Remember, you entered a Senior level competition, not an Elite Four level one. Naturally, the rules wouldn't allow Elite Four level Pokémon to compete."
Lu Ze spread his hands and said to Ning Nuan Nuan with an amused smile.
"Fine, it's not a big deal."
Ning Nuan Nuan
