Chapter 42: It Seems I Am Still Not Underworld Enough

After agreeing to become an apprentice at the Sunny Gym, Nemona left quickly.

And after a morning of training plus a thrilling (no suspense) battle, Eevee was sleeping quietly in Qing Yu's arms.

"I didn't expect Nemona to really become an apprentice at the Sunny Gym..."

Recalling what happened just now, Qing Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"If Nemona can successfully become a Champion next year, wouldn't the threshold for challenging the Sunny Gym be trampled down by then..."

"If I encounter good seedlings in the future, maybe I can trick a few more back."

"If the Paldea protagonist group of four is gathered, wouldn't the Sunny Gym be directly invincible?"

Now is, fantasy time!

After his consciousness relaxed, a few lines of small text quickly appeared before Qing Yu's eyes.

【Although the streaming career is very smooth, wanting to divert fans from all over the world to the remote Sunny Gym is obviously not an easy task.】

【However, fortunately, there are local viewers coming to challenge. After a hearty battle, you finally achieved your first victory after succeeding as the Gym Leader.】

Qing Yu slowly formed a question mark.

Was it really difficult?

Although Eevee's "King Engine" almost made him unable to handle it, the whole process was still very smooth, right?

This system is still as outrageously wrong as ever...

【Task: Take on the responsibility of the Gym successor and win the first victory in a battle with a Gym challenger. (Completed)】

【Reward: Elesa's Gym Management Guide.】

After touching the screen lightly, a thin guide quickly appeared in his palm.

Calling it a guide, it actually looks more like a magazine.

Compared to Skyla's notebook before, this time the thickness of the content didn't feel sincere at all...

However, Qing Yu didn't expect this reward to be of any use anyway.

With strong curiosity, Qing Yu looked at the cover.

Then, he immediately understood why Elesa could lead the Nimbasa Gym to the international stage.

With such a perfect face and figure, it would be against the laws of nature if you didn't become popular!

But how should I learn?

Should I imitate a certain three-time Pokémon Contest winner...

The thought only arose for a moment before it was violently shaken out of his head and thrown to the ends of the earth.

Don't do that kind of thing!

There must be other feasible ways!

Qing Yu quickly turned the page and began to read the main text of this guide.

Hmm, fortunately, it's not the kind of content he thought.

Although he was inexplicably disappointed, Qing Yu still read it carefully with patience.

Finally, he concluded:

Elesa's method might be useful, but it's also unlikely to be useful.

Simply put, Elesa's philosophy is very extreme, but it also has a certain reference value—

Discover the characteristics of your own Gym and expand them infinitely.

Since Elesa debuted in the modeling industry very early, she immediately made drastic reforms from the moment she succeeded as a Gym Leader.

Transforming most of the Gym's space into a dazzling catwalk, choosing trainers with outstanding looks as Gym apprentices, and even incorporating the nearby roller coaster into the Gym in the future.

"Compared to constantly improving one's own strength, is improving the evaluation of the Gym in the mouths of trainers the top priority?"

Qing Yu quickly summarized Elesa's thoughts.

It feels a bit like a side door, but I have to admit that it is indeed effective, especially for "internet celebrity" Gym Leaders who naturally come with a large number of fans.

This novel philosophy has also been verified in many young Gym Leaders.

For example, Iono of the Levincia Gym.

It is indeed a path very suitable for his current stage.

"Then, what is the development focus of the Sunny Gym today?"

Stroking Eevee's fur rhythmically, Qing Yu couldn't help but lower his head and think.

Is it interesting streaming content like Iono's?

"Perhaps it accounts for a part, but it's not that appropriate."

And after two streams, he could clearly feel that if he didn't make changes, the impact of streaming on the Gym's popularity was actually minimal.

In the end, the people who follow me are there to learn my thinking or understand interesting tactics, not for the Sunny Gym itself.

Wait...

"So the keyword is actually learning?" ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
