Chapter 164 Game
The weekend battle attracted widespread attention, and even Long Yanning, who hardly surfed the Internet, knew the news.
Because it involved two secret realms, Long Yan Ning said nothing, but on the second day she got Xia Yu a disposable sword dance moves learning machine for Xia Yu's Lizard King to learn.
Long Yanning did this because she naturally hoped that Xia Yu would not lose the face of the Imperial Capital Dragon Secret Realm in the battle.
In such a tense atmosphere of preparation, Xia Yu received two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news.
The good news is that after so many days, the Pokémon Association finally issued an official announcement, giving the Pokémon Dragon to Xia Yu as an encouragement for his heroic performance during the Dawn Society's attack on the Dragon Secret Realm, and will not cancel Xia Yu's national selection quota!
This good news made Xia Yu so excited that he suspected he was dreaming, because this was the first time that the Pokémon Association was so generous. It was equivalent to directly rewarding a baby dragon, which was absolutely impossible in the past.
What he didn't know was that at the Pokémon Association meeting, the association's top brass originally wanted to cancel Xia Yu's national quota, but due to a series of changes, Xia Yu was able to obtain this precious dragon for free.
…………
"Regarding the reward for Xia Yu, we propose to give the hatched baby dragon to Xia Yu as a reward, but it needs to offset Xia Yu's national selection quota." Jiang Heng said.
"I object!" Lin Xueyang stood up, straightened his clothes a little, looked at the group of king-level trainers in front of him, and appealed for Xia Yu: "Xia Yu successfully saved two quasi-gods in this protection of the secret realm, and delayed Anthony as a lord-level trainer, which was a great achievement. We should reward him greatly, instead of deducting his original reward while giving him the reward. I think Xia Yu's performance is enough to get a quasi-god Pokémon."
After listening to Lin Xueyang's words, Jiang Heng also stood up and argued: "Lin Xueyang, Xia Yu only delayed Anthony, and did not capture or kill Anthony, and Anthony also took away a quasi-god Pokémon. I think giving that precious dragon to Xia Yu and offsetting his national selection quota is already a generous reward."
Jiang Heng spoke calmly and glanced at Lin Xueyang: "Comrade Lin Xueyang, you have to pay attention to your position. Although Xia Yu is your nephew, you are the vice president of the Imperial Capital Pokémon Association."
Jiang Heng's words were already very harsh, and his words implied that Lin Xueyang was abusing his power for personal gain.
Lin Xueyang and Jiang Heng had been at odds for a long time. Hearing his sarcastic words, he sneered, "Xia Yu is my nephew, but I don't want to avoid suspicion when I marry someone I know. I just want to ask how many people can stand up to Anthony like Xia Yu with the strength of a lord? Shouldn't such behavior be rewarded?"
"Establishing a heroic image is far more important than being a hero. Jiang Heng, do you really have to make people sweat, bleed, and cry, and force everyone to stand by and watch coldly in the face of such a situation in the future?"
Facing the big hat that Lin Xueyang put on him, Jiang Heng naturally couldn't accept it: "I'm not saying that I won't give Xia Yu a reward, but whether this reward is too much, we must grasp the right degree. Lin Xueyang, you have to look at the problem from an objective and fair standpoint."
"Really?" Lin Xueyang said with a smile: "I have been very objective and fair. If Vice President Jiang, if your son can be as brave as Xia Yu, I will also agree with rewarding a quasi-god Pokémon without hesitation."
"Lin Xueyang..."
"That's enough! Stop arguing." A dignified voice interrupted the conversation between the two: "Both of you sit down. Anyone else can speak up if they have any opinions. Let's vote. Those who agree to retain Xia Yu's place in the national selection, raise your hands."
As this person's voice fell, only a few people in the entire venue raised their hands. Lin Xueyang naturally voted in favor without hesitation!
"Let me say a few words." At this moment, Su Mu suddenly spoke up to attract everyone's attention: "I have already written it very clearly in the report I submitted. Xia Yu is very sharp in battle and has a very high level of quality as a trainer. He can command Pokémon that he is not familiar with very well even on the spot."
"At least in my opinion, if it was someone else, there would be absolutely no way they could hold Anthony back under the circumstances. We should commend him as a hero, and his talent as a trainer is also worthy of our great commendation, not to mention that he is even more talented in scientific research. So I agree to keep Xia Yu's place in the national selection."
After Su Mu finished speaking, he raised his hand to express his opinion, and then several kings who had a good relationship with Su Mu also raised their hands to express their opinion. Now the number of people who supported Xia Yu to retain the national selection quota reached one third.
One third of the votes were in favor. Lin Xueyang was already very satisfied with the result. Although the goal of retaining Xia Yu's place in the national selection was not achieved, at least from this vote, Lin Xueyang saw who stood on the side of the Lin family and the Long family. Anyone who raised their hands to vote was an ally or potential ally of the two families.
On the surface, this matter seems to be deciding whether to retain Xia Yu's national selection quota, but the truth is far from as simple as it seems. What they care about is never the quota itself, but the positions of everyone present.
When Su Mu stood up to support Xia Yu, Lin Xueyang no longer cared about the outcome, because gaining a powerful ally like Su Mu was far more important than a place in the national selection.
"I agree too." At this moment, a lazy and charming voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Wanyu, who was wearing a fur coat and a hip-hugging long skirt. She raised her white hand. Her beautiful face had a fascinating charm. She opened her red lips and said, "Heroes emerge young. I like young talents like Xia Yu. Besides, I owed him a favor when I designed the corresponding movements for the Z moves last time."
As Xiao Wanyu finished speaking, many of the kings who had received favors from Xia Yu were forced to raise their hands and vote. If Xiao Wanyu hadn't mentioned this matter, they could have stayed out of it and remained neutral, but after Xiao Wanyu mentioned it, all of the kings who had received favors from Xia Yu had to vote.
Seeing that the votes were close to two-thirds, a majestic voice sounded: "In this case, the meeting has voted to give the treasure dragon to Xia Yu as an encouragement, and to retain Xia Yu's place in the national selection."
…………
After talking about the good news, let’s talk about the bad news.
The bad news is that after several months of negotiations, the Chinese Pokémon Association and the European Pokémon Association finally reached an agreement, but China did not get the coveted Steelix.
Instead, it received four chances to select Pokémon from Europe and a series of other compensations, which caused the European Pokémon Association to bleed heavily.
Four chances to select, including some Pokémon unique to Europe, such as Booming Gorilla, Charcoal, Flare Ace, Chameleon, Crocodile, etc. The Chinese Pokémon Association can go to the secret realm in Europe to select directly. (See the pictures, brothers! There are too many, so I won’t post them)
Xia Yu also won one of the places and a reward for treasure selection, but due to considerations for Xia Yu's safety, Xia Yu could not go abroad in person to select the place he had won. He could only entrust someone else to help him select, and he would leave tomorrow, which is this Friday, and return on Sunday.
The time pressure made Xia Yu a little anxious. Who should he ask to go to Europe to help him choose a Pokémon?
