Chapter 42 The Patron Saint of Water City
"Emperor Nabo can't fight, and the little diamond wins!"
"Since Gym Master Jie Wei has lost all of his Pokémon, the winner is the challenger Su Hao!"
"Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap."
The audience burst into applause because they witnessed a miracle today!
Some audience members applauded for the Blazing Roaring Tiger, some applauded for Su Hao who defeated the gym leader just two months after his debut, and some applauded for the Little Diamond.
After Xie Wei handed the Emperor's Nabo to the nurse, she walked towards Su Hao while clapping and smiling.
The staff member waiting nearby walked over to Jie Wei with a tray. Jie Wei picked up the exquisite water drop-shaped badge on the tray and handed it to Su Hao.
"This is the junior watercraft badge. Your performance proves that you can earn it!"
Su Hao took it solemnly.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I would be defeated by you today. After the video of today's battle is spread, I'm afraid you will become famous~"
"I have already thought of the title that the media will give you by then, such as [The Strongest Genius of the New Generation in the Chinese Alliance] or something like that."
Xie Wei covered her cheek with one hand and joked with a smile.
"Well, actually I don't want to be famous." Su Hao sighed.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Su's father told him that there were many criminal organizations active within the Shenzhou Alliance. No matter how they were cracked down on, those rats would always pop up again.
These evil organizations have also carried out many attacks on the new generation of geniuses, which is very despicable.
"If you want, at least the complete official video will not be leaked." Seeing that Su Hao was really distressed, Jie Wei, who knew the reason, straightened her expression and said seriously.
"Then please help Auntie Xie." Su Hao nodded and said gratefully.
"It's okay. Letting your new generation grow up safely is also what our older generation of trainers should do."

Back in the lounge, Xie Wei looked at the report handed over by the secretary with shining eyes.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand!
Su Hao, who was standing aside, was speechless as he saw the originally elegant and dignified Jie Wei exuding the stink of money.
As if sensing Su Hao's thoughts, Jie Wei, who was reading the report, looked up and explained, "You young people don't understand. In order to maintain such a large Shuizhou Dojo, even with the financial support of the alliance, it is still very tight."
"It's time for us, the owners, to make money now~"
"How much did you earn today?" Su Hao asked curiously.
"thirty million."
?
"Tickets are so profitable?" Su Hao asked in shock.
"No, this also includes peripherals and various other miscellaneous income. The tickets were only sold for 10 million."
"Ten million is a lot, right!" Su Hao complained.
"After all, today is a rare Junior Gym Challenge, and it comes just two months after the seniors received their starter Pokémon."
"This is a very rare event, and it's quite a gimmick! Usually, the mid-level gym challenge that college students take on for graduation is not watched by many people."
"After all, there are too many students graduating every year, and the public has long been tired of seeing them."
"Plus, the ticket prices this time are a little more expensive~"
The latter is the key point! Su Hao felt like he was about to become a complainer.
However, by playing the gym challenge, you can also get a share of 2 million. Su Hao only hopes for this kind of thing to happen!
After finishing the small talk, Su Hao was about to get up and say goodbye.
Jie Wei stopped Su Hao and asked, "Do you have any plans to go somewhere?"
"I plan to take a look around Shuizhou City in the past few days, take a tour, and see if there is any chance of encountering a Pokémon with Eyesight," Su Hao replied.
"Then I recommend you to go somewhere."
"Where?" Su Hao was a little curious.
"This is where most tourists who come to Shuizhou City go. Let me tell you a story first."
A long time ago, there lived an old man and an old woman in an unknown water town.
One day, they rescued a pair of injured little siblings at the beach. Under the careful care of the two old people, the injuries of the two children gradually healed.
But suddenly one day, evil monsters came to invade the island. However, just when the island was about to be swallowed up by the monsters, in front of the old father-in-law and the old woman, the appearance of the little brother and sister changed.
It turns out that they are the Infinite Pokémon, Latios and Latias.
The two Pokémon flew into the air, bringing with them the power to drive away dark evil.
It was a gem called the Heart Drop, and peace was restored in the town. From then on, Latios and Latias often visited the town where the Heart Drop was, and no evil monsters attacked the town anymore.
After that, the nameless town gradually turned into the current water capital - Shuizhou City.
"Now, statues of the two guardian gods, Latios and Latias, have been built and enshrined in the center of Shuizhou City."
"For you new generation trainers, the Guardian should be very attractive, right?"
"Although Latios and Latias have never been seen again, I think their statues can still be visited."
"Also, although the complete video will not be released, the video recorded by the audience in the auditorium may be circulated in a small range and may also attract the attention of evil organizations. Be careful when traveling abroad." Xie Wei reminded with concern.
Accepting Xie Wei's proposal and reminder, Su Hao bid farewell to Xie Wei and walked out of the Water Boat Gym.
It’s late at night, let’s go back and have some sleep first!
