Chapter 1281: Dragon Palace Secret Realm

Fu'an Province.

In order to welcome Champion Xia's investigation, the Fu'an Province Pokémon Association implemented traffic control on the road leading to the Fu'an Secret Realm. Along the way, there were uniformed Gyarados special operations team members and fully armed Pokémon Association trainers.

"Is there some important person coming today?" The residents living on both sides of the street looked at such a grand occasion and couldn't help but look curious.

"I don't know. How would I know the whereabouts of these important people? Look at the ones on duty. They're fully armed, and there are Pokémon like Arcanine and Houndoom here. They must be at least the Four Heavenly Kings."

"I think it's more than that. Can the Four Heavenly Kings have such a big show?"

…………

When the bus carrying Xia Yu stopped at the gate of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm, Shen Yanshan, the president of the Fu'an Province Pokémon Association, and Xiao Huohuo, the guardian of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to greet them with bright smiles on their faces.

"Champion Xia."

Xia Yu's eyes swept over Shen Yanshan and Xiao Huohuo. He had seen photos of the two and recognized them at a glance. The elegant middle-aged man wearing gold-framed glasses was Shen Yanshan, and the younger man with a slightly decadent face was Xiao Huohuo.

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded slightly at the two of them, a friendly smile on his face: "I've read your report. Judging from the data alone, the Dragon Palace Secret Realm ranks first among all the secret realms in Fu'an Province. The Tyrannosaurus Reef that we introduced a few years ago has also become a signature of the East China region. President Shen has done a great job."

"Champion Xia, your policies are truly excellent." Shen Yanshan replied with a smile, "We have Champion Long to thank for this. If he hadn't personally coordinated with the Dragon Secret Realm in the Imperial Capital, we probably wouldn't have been able to bring in the Garchomp."

Shen Yanshan was obviously an old hand who had been in officialdom for a long time and was very smooth in dealing with people. When he heard Xia Yu's praise, he did not modestly deny it, but instead attributed most of the credit to Xia Yu's father-in-law, Long Fan.

First, he wanted to show that he was Long Guanjun's man, and second, he wanted to praise Long Fan and get closer to Xia Yu.

As for Xiao Huohuo, who looked a little depressed, he formed a sharp contrast with Shen Yanshan, who was chatting and laughing.

As one of the former Four Heavenly Kings of East China, Xiao Huohuo originally had a bright future, but his defeat in the Heavenly King Qualifying Tournament brought about earth-shaking changes in his life.

Because according to the rules of the Elite Four Ranked Tournament, a trainer who has served as one of the Elite Four cannot serve as one of the Elite Four again.

Therefore, Xiao Huohuo can no longer compete for the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, and can only join the three special operations teams or guard the secret realm like this.

Of course he has another way, which is to compete for the championship!

But it is not easy to be a champion. If he wants to compete for the championship, he will have to face opponents like Duan Hongzhi, Long Fan, Lu Tinghe and Xia Yu. It is not easy.

From then on, Xiao Huohuo became extremely negative. The reason why he looked like this today was because he dressed up specially to welcome Xia Yu.

"King Xiao, have a great time in the Dragon Palace Secret Realm. You are still young and have unlimited possibilities in the future." Xia Yu looked at Xiao Huohuo and encouraged him, then continued to look at Shen Yanshan beside him.

"President Shen, I saw your future plans for the Dragon Palace Secret Realm on the way here. You plan to make it the best secret realm in East China and the best secret realm in the country, surpassing the Fighting Secret Realm in Sujiang Province and the Ice Water Secret Realm in Demon City. That's quite ambitious!"

Listening to Xia Yu's words, President Shen blushed slightly and said with a smile: "Champion Xia, our original goal was to strive to become the first-class secret realm in East China. Isn't it you who became the champion of East China that gave us the confidence? With your support, we have the confidence to become the best in the country."

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

No wonder so many people like flattering subordinates, let alone a flattering, capable and capable subordinate.

"Take me in and see if the legendary Dragon Secret Realm is worthy of its name."

"Champion Xia, please." Shen Yanshan nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and then took Xia Yu into the secret realm of Dragon Palace for a tour.

"The Dragon Palace Secret Realm is divided into two major areas, one is the ground area, and the other is the water area."

"The signature Pokémon of the Ground-type region is naturally the Garchomp family, which was introduced two years ago. As of this year, Garchomp has laid two Garchomp eggs, both of which have successfully hatched."

"Our initial plan is to continue introducing Garchomp or Ditto and breeding them, aiming to increase the Garchomp population to double digits within ten years."

"During this period, Land Shark will not be sold to the public and will not be included in the selection quota."

"As for the water zone, we've introduced a large number of water-type Pokémon. Blastoise, Lapras, Swampert, and so on. There are many high-quality Pokémon, but we lack a signature water-type Pokémon."

…………

While Xia Yu was touring, Shen Yanshan beside him introduced the place to him.

It can be seen that Shen Yanshan put a lot of effort into this research activity. Not only is he quite familiar with the situation of the entire Dragon Palace Secret Realm, he can also remember the signature Pokémon and even the number of their populations in each area.

No matter what questions Xia Yu asked, he could answer them immediately.

"Champion Xia's visit to investigate this time is a golden opportunity for us. The development and construction of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm has encountered a difficult problem. We plan to select a water-type Pokémon from among the many to make the Dragon Palace Secret Realm a second signature, aiming to become the best in the country, and even the world, but we haven't found a suitable target yet. Champion Xia, you are still the best Pokémon doctor in the world."

"You are here today, so you can give us valuable advice and suggestions."

Listening to what Shen Yanshan said beside him, Xia Yu turned his head and looked at Shen Yanshan and smiled: "President Shen, you are roasting me on the fire."

"For such a big thing, you should have done some preliminary planning. We visited several of China's most famous water-type Pokémon secret realms, such as the Ice Water Secret Realm in Demon City, and finally selected some suitable options."

"Well, our top picks are Swampert, Swampert, Selvamon, and Toadlord."

"These Pokémon are all water and ground-type Pokémon, which are very suitable for the Dragon Palace Secret Realm. This way, when competing with other water-type secret realms, we can have unique competitiveness while also retaining the characteristics of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm." Shen Yanshan said seriously, "These Pokémon also have their own advantages and disadvantages."

"Our top pick is naturally Swampert. Firstly, it's the most popular and gentle, making it a perfect starting Pokémon for new trainers. Furthermore, Swampert has excellent power, and its Mega Evolution increases its upper limit, making it our most promising Pokémon. However, Swampert also faces the greatest competition. Many Water-type Rifts have introduced Swampert."

"Secondly, we are also considering Swamp King and Sea Slug. Finally, Cai Shao Toad King, Xia Guanjun, we hope you can give us valuable guidance from a professional perspective." Shen Yanshan looked at Xia Yu sincerely and said
