After accepting the Pokédex, Su Bai took off his medal and hung it around Arcanine's neck, then placed Pikachu on Arcanine's head.
The scene was broadcast to everyone on the big screen, winning him countless fans.
Su Bai hadn't done it deliberately.
Now that he had qualified as an Official Trainer, he could begin collecting Badges and enter the Dragon Nation's Donghuang League, which would be held on Donghuang Mountain in two months.
Su Bai now had a chance to fight for his place in this world, and he owed a great deal of thanks to his two precious partners, Pikachu and Arcanine.
After the awards ceremony ended, Su Bai received an unexpected phone call.
"Hey! Still remember me?"
"Don't worry. I couldn't forget you."
It was Bai Ze calling.
Bai Ze had heard that Su Bai had won Best Individual in this year's Major League, and that his own father, Bai Longfei, had presented the award. He felt he ought to congratulate him.
Su Bai thanked him, then asked him a question.
Although Bai Ze was a reserve Trainer about to take up his post, he was still attending university. Why hadn't he entered the Major League?
Bai Ze told Su Bai that he didn't need to enter competitions like that. Prospective Gym Trainers had their own authorization to raise Pokémon.
"You spoiled second-generation brat."
"Oh, shut up. Aren't you one too? I only just found out that the First Elite Four, Qi Shijun, is your uncle."
After they finished trading jabs, Bai Ze asked Su Bai which Gym he wanted to challenge next.
Su Bai had no plans yet, but he would definitely return to J University first.
He had won the championship and Best Individual. Those achievements alone would let Uncle Qi completely overshadow the former university
