Without counting Mega Evolution, his strength had already surpassed that of a Gym Leader. He should currently be at the very bottom of the Pseudo-Elite Four level.
If he could achieve an outstanding result at the World Cup, he could then embark on his own Victory Road and try competing in the Elite Four tournament.
Every region had roughly the same number of Elite Four Trainers. Above them were the four top Type-specialist Elite Four members, and above those were each region's Champions.
So, to become a Champion, the Elite Four tournament was an essential step.
Gazing at the stars in the sky, Ye Qing found Dragon Tamer's number and called him. "Hello, Dragon King, any news on Garchomp's Mega Stone?"
Dragon Tamer sounded a little tired. "Not yet. I've already contacted the Champion. To give you some extra fighting strength at the World Cup, we'll all do our best to find it for you."
"That's great. Thanks in advance."
Ye Qing was sincerely grateful. He hadn't expected his affairs to get even Cynthia involved.
"It's fine. Just cause me less trouble in the meantime."
Dragon Tamer rubbed his forehead. He really hoped Ye Qing would stay obediently at home and go nowhere until the World Cup began.
"Don't worry. I'm planning to keep training near home until the World Cup starts."
Ye Qing gave his solemn assurance. He had also vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with his constitution, so, for safety's sake, he didn't want to go running around anymore either.
"Thank you on everyone's behalf."
Dragon Tamer breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ye Qing didn't stir things up, it was practically a vacation for him.
Thank me on everyone's behalf?
Ye Qing put down his phone and carefully pondered those words.
