Chapter 18: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 9

Ever since Professor Oak retired, the Indigo League hasn't had a Champion for a long time; currently, Mr. Lance, the head of the Kanto Elite Four, is acting as the interim Champion.

The situations in other regions are more or less the same as in Qingyu's impression.

Hoenn Champion Steven, Sinnoh Champion Cynthia, Kalos Champion Diantha, and Galar Champion Leon are all young people who have reached the Champion position in the last two years.

As for the Alola region, it has not yet joined the Pokémon League.

At this point, Qingyu finally confirmed one thing.

The timeline he is currently in should be a bit earlier than he remembers, about two years or so.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Qingyu's mood was slightly complicated.

Bad news: He basically has no idea what will happen in these two years.

Good news: At least there shouldn't be any major events in these two years.

As everyone knows, the big stuff only comes after the protagonist appears, so he can still lie low and develop during this time.

"But since I've already transmigrated, is it possible that I'm the unlucky protagonist?"

This thought only popped up for a second before it was immediately extinguished by Qingyu.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

I'm just a slacker Gym Leader; if the sky falls, there are naturally taller people to hold it up, it won't be my turn!

Long-term matters aren't for Qingyu to think about either; he has something very important to do this afternoon—

Improve Eevee's combat power.

Since he already has fans, it is only natural to get the Sunny Gym back up and running next.

Although according to the notes, Eevee's combat power before evolution is very average.

But right now, he only has this one Pokémon, so he can only hope that Eevee can step up.

However, fortunately, his Eevee seems a bit illegal.

Starting with the Sketch move it just learned, it might have miraculous effects.

Besides battling, there are many other ways to improve a Pokémon's combat power, such as...

Watching videos.

Of course, Qingyu is a serious person; he is talking about move guidance in TMs.

Before returning home, he picked up a few discs at the Pokémon Center in Mesagoza.

In the Pokémon game series, as long as you tap a disc on a Pokémon's head, the Pokémon can instantly learn the corresponding move, which is very convenient.

Of course, such an overpowered function certainly doesn't exist in reality.

TMs don't need to be crafted by collecting materials like in the game, but are available for purchase based on the Trainer's level.

Although Qingyu's certified Trainer level is currently only at the Rookie level, at least he is not short of money.

Aside from the operating funds allocated by the Paldea League, his parents also left behind a compensation payment that he could never spend in his lifetime after they went missing.

It's hard to imagine how the original owner walked step-by-step into the arms of a rich woman under these circumstances.

Of course, that's not the point.

To let a Pokémon learn moves from TMs, it requires repeated observation of the recordings to learn.

This afternoon, Qingyu's task is to watch videos with Eevee.

While guiding Eevee to learn moves and building the courage to battle, it can also further enhance their bond.

"Confuse Ray, Snarl, Skill Swap, Encore..."

"Let's start with these few moves~"

"Bui?"

Eevee, lying in Qingyu's arms, raised its head and happened to notice the wicked smile on its Trainer's lips.

Why does it feel like its Trainer's smile looks like a villain's...
