Xinhai gently placed Ralts on the soft cushion beside the bed and covered it with a thin blanket.

Looking back at Torchic, I found that this little guy was a little dishonest. His little paws unconsciously grabbed the blanket off his body.

Xinhai smiled helplessly, covered him with Torchic's blanket, and then took out the Premier Ball that was in his pocket.

Looking at this Poké Ball, Xinhai thought of the Devon Challenge champion this time: Panshijian. Thinking of the performance of the opponent's Larvitar, Xinhai once again felt tremendous pressure.

Taking out his notes and looking at the plans he had made for Torchic and Ralts, Xinhai knew that the speed of conquering the new Pokémon would be accelerated.

'But it's a bit difficult to tame a Pokémon who is highly qualified and meets the requirements! Do you have to tame a few tool pets?' Xinhai rubbed his temples and thought with a headache.

'I can't conquer Pokémon and use them as tools. After all, this is the real world, not a game.'

'And I don't have any extra money to raise a tool pet now, it's troublesome!'

Just as I was thinking about it, Pokédex, which had been set to mute, suddenly vibrated.

When I clicked on it, I found that it was a message from Joy Luo, asking about his current location and saying that I had something to tell him.

Xinhai thought for a while and replied to Joy Luo: I am at Pokémon Center.

It didn't take long for Joy Luo to reply: I'm in the lobby of Pokémon Center. Please come down. I have something important to tell you.

Xinhai was a little confused about something, but still replied: OK, I'll be down right away.

He glanced at the sleeping Torchic and Ralts, then gently left the room, closed the door, and walked towards the hall on the first floor.

As soon as he stepped into the lobby of Pokémon Center, Xinhai saw Joy Luo in the corner.

She was talking to another Nurse Joy. Xinhai took a closer look and found that the other person was the person in charge of this Pokémon Center.

That is, the Nurse Joy who has been working at the front desk of this Pokémon Center, and is also one of the four judges of Devon Challenge today.

Xinhai quickly approached and bowed politely. "Nurse Joy, Joy Luo, hello."

Joy Luo stood up first, waved to Xinhai, and said with a smile, "Xinhai, this is my aunt Joy Ya, she is the person in charge of Rustboro City Pokémon Center."

Joy Ya stood up with a smile, looked at Xinhai with the eyes of a son-in-law, and said, "Xinhai, just call me Aunt Ya. I didn't expect that Xinhai you actually became friends with Xiao Luo. You don't know how much this girl told me about you today, you have to woo..."

Joy Luo Seeing that her aunt was getting more and more outrageous, she quickly reached out to cover her mouth, her cheeks flushed. "Aunt! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xinhai looked at this scene with an embarrassed look on his face, and the trainers in the hall also looked over curiously.

Joy Ya smiled and patted her hand away, his eyes full of teasing, and turned to Xinhai and said sternly, "Xinhai, don't be offended, this kid is thin-skinned. In fact, I called you down today because I want to talk to you about something serious."

Joy Luo lowered his head, only feeling that his ears were burning, and a little shy. Devon Corporation looked at Xinhai's side face.

Xinhai was a little confused, asking him to talk about something serious, but he still straightened up and said, "Nurse Joy, please tell me."

"Wait a moment."

Joy Ya ignored Xinhai's doubts, but first took out Poké Ball and released a Whismur: "Whismur, please!"

Xinhai looked at this rabbit-like Pokémon, and was a little confused, wondering why Joy Ya had such a Pokémon.

Whismur nodded, and then whispered, "Cao Niuniu~"

At this time, Xinhai showed surprise, because this Whismur actually made sounds from the holes in its ears.

And after it made a sound, Xinhai clearly saw the trainer of Pokémon Center open his mouth, but could not hear the voices of the trainers around him.

"This is a special skill of Whismur Soundproof. Now our voices will not be transmitted three meters away, so we can talk with confidence." Seeing Xinhai's curiosity, Joy Ya explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Xinhai was even more surprised. Whismur's Soundproof could actually be played externally. Wouldn't that mean that the sound skills were useless?

As if he could tell what Xinhai was thinking, Joy Ya smiled and said, "It's not as simple as you think. This technique can only be used by Whismur, and if it is too loud, there will still be a sound."

Xinhai exclaimed, "That's amazing."

Joy Ya smiled, and then said with a serious face, "Xinhai, do you know that all major families or forces are actually investing in potential direct lineage trainers?"

Hearing this, Xinhai guessed something and felt a little excited, but still shook his head and said, "I have never heard of these things, but if I think about it carefully, I can guess it."

Joy Ya nodded and continued, "Compared with the talents of the entire region, the number of talents from one family and one force is naturally far different, and based on the base of the people at the bottom, the probability of geniuses appearing is also greater."

"Most of the geniuses of civilians are unable to grow because they have no resources, and there are too few talents in the family, which prompts the emergence of the phenomenon of investing in civilians."

"But the identity of civilians is complicated, and there are even shadows of evil forces behind many civilians, so all major forces are very cautious about the objects they invest in." At this point, Joy Ya stopped and paused.

Xinhai frowned, and for a while, he thought about a lot of things. In a daze, he felt that this scene was very similar to the family structure in the history books of previous lives, but without the constraints of imperial power.

Joy Ya looked at Xinhai with a smile and continued, "As a result, direct line trainers have become candidates for major families. After all, the identity of every direct line trainer can only be passed through strict review."

Joy Ya's eyes fell on him, with obvious expectations. "We Joy family have also been looking for potential young trainers to invest, and your situation is very consistent with our standards."

"We have checked your information and there are no problems. Moreover, your performance in the challenge was also very good. In addition, you also have a very qualified Ralts."

"It can be said that you perfectly meet our requirements." When she said this, she glanced at Joy Luo who had been stealing glances at Xinhai next to her, with a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Nurse Joy, please let me take a moment." Xinhai tried his best to calm down the excitement in his heart and try to calm down.

"Xinhai, telling you this is also part of our sincerity, and you also know that our Joy family position in League has always been neutral, so you don't have to worry about being involved in power disputes." After she finished speaking, she said no more and waited for Xinhai to digest it.

Xinhai thought about it for a while and realized that this investment would only bring benefits to him and no harm.

Xinhai raised his eyes and looked at Joy Ya, with an unconcealed solemnity in his tone, "Nurse Joy, what you mean by 'investment' specifically..."

Joy Ya had expected that Xinhai would ask this, so he took out a document from the bag beside him, handed it to him and said, "I will only talk about the key points, and I will not go into details about the additional benefits. You have two options: the first is to directly obtain 20 million League Coin's cultivation resources. You can also ask for League Coin."

"Twenty million?" Xinhai's voice suddenly rose, then lowered quickly. He quickly glanced around, but fortunately no one paid attention here.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the impact of this number still made his heart skip a beat.

Joy Ya looked at his reaction and smiled deeper, "The second option is to obtain fifteen million League Coin resources, and at the same time you can choose a Pokémon with three Egg Move. Of course, the late bloomer Pokémon is not among them."

Xinhai's eyes lit up. He was worried about not getting the highly qualified Pokémon, so someone sent him.

Xinhai opened the file and started reading it. Joy Ya didn't bother him. After reading it briefly, he closed the file and said, "I choose the second option!"

Joy Ya nodded approvingly, the appreciation in his eyes undisguised. "Wise choice!"
