Pokémon, they've all been turned into girls!

"cough~"

Bai Ye cleared his throat and smiled.

"Regarding winning the Mikkelsen Cup..."

"Whether it's the performance rounds in the first round or the spectacular battles in the subsequent rounds, I believe every participant is an extremely excellent Coordinator. Even if they don't win the tournament, they must not let that make them deny themselves."

"Uh-huh!"

On the other side, Pansy held the microphone and handed it to Baiye, while excitedly lowering her head, using her teeth to open the cap of the black pen, and began to write furiously with one hand.

The reporter was greatly impressed by Bai Ye's response to the first question.

She had initially thought that after Bai Ye caught a legendary Pokémon and won the Wallace Cup with overwhelming force, he would become arrogant and disdain everyone, but she never expected him to be so composed and humble, showing due respect to every contestant.

As expected of a trainer who has earned the approval of the legendary Suicune—

Pansy, who had simply written down Baiye's answer, looked up, her eyes filled with admiration and respect.

She's increasingly looking forward to the replies to Bai Ye's last two questions. If she records them completely and publishes them, they'll definitely be on the front page of the news across the entire alliance region tomorrow!

"Furthermore, I hope that more and more coordination trainers will participate in the Mikkuri Cup and strive to improve their coordination skills. This is probably what Mr. Mikkuri hopes to see when preparing for the competition."

At this point, Bai Ye paused, then suddenly changed the subject.

"As for the training and development advice for the next generation of trainers, I won't go into the usual stuff like creating targeted training plans and making friends with Pokémon to build bonds. Instead, I'll just recommend these dozens of specialty foods that will guarantee your Pokémon get a head start."

???

At this moment, the reporter, who had been full of expectations, was stunned when she saw several boxes of Moo Moo milk packaged in the Hiyori brand that Bai Ye had taken out from somewhere, as well as a large number of special foods that she had never seen before.

No?

Shouldn't you then talk at length about how hard you and your Pokémon worked to achieve what you have today?

Why are you suddenly advertising?!

No matter what world she's in, as long as she's human, she can't resist attacks with long wind-up animations or those that start at zero frames.

Before Pansy could even react, Bai Ye's advertising offensive had completely overwhelmed her.

"This is high-quality MooMoo fresh milk produced on our farm. Both its taste and nutritional content are much better than other milk on the market."

"Currently, four flavors have been launched. The first is the pineapple-flavored MooMoo Fresh Milk. Long-term consumption can not only make Pokémon stronger, but also subtly improve their physical condition."

"Well"

"Then there's the special Zongzi, a delicacy said to have been passed down from the ancient Sinnoh region over a thousand years ago. Eating it can enhance the power of a Pokémon's favorite and most proficient moves."

"Um"

"During this period, if you purchase from Hiyori's sales building in Yosuga City, we also have corresponding discounted bundled packages. All battle trainers and coordinators are welcome to come and visit."

Bai Ye spoke for almost ten minutes before finally stopping, remembering that he had to go on stage to receive an award later. His face was still full of unfinished business.

"Well... that's about all I wanted to say. Miss Pansy, you should have remembered everything, right?"

"I...I've written it down."

Pansy nodded mechanically.

Then she looked at the notes she had made in her interview notebook and felt like crying.

In the nearly ten-minute interview, the black-haired young man skipped over how he caught and gained the recognition of the legendary Pokémon Suicune, and even skipped over fragmented details of his daily Pokémon training and development. Instead, he spent the entire time pulling her along, introducing her to the products produced by his farm and processing plant.

How awful!

Pansy sighed softly.

She is certainly not an unscrupulous reporter, but rather someone with excellent professional ethics.

Although she didn't get what she wanted from the interview, she wouldn't make things up. What was said was said. The things Bai Ye brought out did indeed seem to be of excellent quality, just as he had said. Even her picky eater, the Electric Lizard, jumped out of its Poké Ball and couldn't help but drool over these special foods.

Of course, it's still infuriating that what was originally envisioned as a major biographical news story turned out to be a product advertisement!

With the awards ceremony approaching, the reporter could only wave goodbye to Bai Ye with a sense of helplessness.

But after they parted, she turned around, still getting angrier the more she thought about it, and then puffed out her cheeks in annoyance.

Next time she comes for an interview, she'll definitely get to the bottom of what she wants and strip Bai Ye bare!

[Mission Completed: Win the McCormick Cup and use the opportunity to promote the farm's products.]

[Mission Reward: Key Stone, randomly draw one Mega Evolution Stone]

/Yue-Yi/ First-release: "How come it was judged successful so quickly?"

At that moment, Bai Ye heard the mechanical voice in his ear and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

He had originally planned to promote his product to the reporters in the audience while receiving the award, but he hadn't expected that simply talking to that one reporter would be enough to complete the task; it was truly an easy one.

"System, collect the reward."

Bai Ye's mind stirred.

"Drawing"

[Obtain Gardevoir Mega Evolution Stone (Rainbow)]

【Gardevoir Mega Stone (Rainbow): Upon use, it unleashes its power, briefly entering a Mega Evolution state, and can switch between Shiny and non-Shiny colors.】

Chapter 191 Exploiting Wool and Experimentation

Several tens of minutes later, the closing ceremony and awards presentation for the Mikkelsen Cup officially began.

"Congratulations."

As a key initiator of this competition, Mikoli solemnly handed a gift box to Bai Ye.

Beneath the antique black gift box, on the left, is a ribbon medal with its main body crafted from crystal sapphire.

Unlike other grand celebration ribbon medals that are only valid for their respective regions, the Azure Ribbon Medal can serve as one of the tickets to grand celebrations across the entire alliance, making it extremely valuable.

Although for Byakuya, who doesn't want to participate in grand celebrations, it's just a nice-looking decorative object, it's still a prize that he and Suicune won together, so it has a lot of commemorative significance.

On the right, placed peacefully, is an irregularly shaped, fluorescent blue stone.

"This is... damp rock?"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be an expert in stone appraisal, Bai Ye."

Surprised that Bai Ye could recognize the rock's name so quickly, Mikoli then began to explain.

"In addition to the Azure Ribbon Medal, the champion of this year's Mikkelsen Cup will also receive a damp rock as a prize."

"Normally, these stones can only be dug up in specific areas with heavy rainfall, making them extremely precious. It just so happens that a friend of mine recently gave them to me."

【Damp Rock (Gold): If the Pokémon holding this uses Rain Dance, the rain will last longer than usual. If used for extended periods to aid in training, it can improve the Pokémon's control over Water-type energy.】

Even though he hadn't actually gotten his hands on it yet, Bai Ye could still sense a powerful aura of water energy emanating from it.

This palm-sized rock is indeed a very precious and high-quality treasure. The fact that this water-type master would part with such a treasure shows he's spared no expense.

As for the friend Mikkel mentioned who gave him the props...

Even with my eyes closed, I can guess that it's definitely that champion Daigo who doesn't do his job properly and goes around digging for rocks.

“Thank you very much”

Bai Ye smiled and nodded, solemnly accepting the embrace in his arms.

He reaped a rich harvest from this Wallace Cup tournament, not only easily obtaining a Gardevoir Mega Evolution Stone but also acquiring this valuable training aid item. The trip was definitely worthwhile!

"That's amazing! Apart from Ms. Rukia, it seems like no other contestant has been able to force him to use a second move."

"Of course! Not to mention the magnificent performance that even Master Mikuri couldn't replicate, even the ice water cannon that caused the entire audience to tremble at the end of (Part 2) Suspicion 2! was truly breathtaking!"

"I wish I hadn't come this time; we're practically blown to bits."

Hearing the exclamations and praises of the other contestants, Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao both smiled with joy.

Even if it wasn't a compliment, the two girls, who had long been enamored with Bai Ye, were genuinely happy as long as someone acknowledged Bai Ye's excellence.

Seeing this, Bai Ye, who had just come down from the awards stage, couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, it's about time to leave, Dawn. Aren't you planning to go to the Pokémon Center?"

Compared to his rampage with Suicune to win the Wallace Cup, Dawn's journey was not so smooth.

In the second round of the Grand Contest, she narrowly lost to an elite Coordinator who had already collected three Ribbon Medals, ending her first Grand Contest journey early.

"Oh right, I almost forgot I need to hurry to the Pokémon Center to treat Piplup."

After Bai Ye's reminder, the confused yet confident girl slapped her forehead and finally remembered her round penguin that had been badly electrocuted by her rival, Röntgen.

Although she received timely treatment with a good medicine after the match, it would be better to go to the Pokémon Center again as a precaution.

"Hey? Brother Bai Ye, you guys..."

Trailing behind, Ryukia watched as Byakuya led the two girls swaggering toward the main entrance of the venue, and for a moment she hesitated to speak.

She wasn't jealous about it; rather, she was thinking about a more crucial issue.

If you walk straight out the main gate, you'll most likely be caught by reporters outside, right?

And just as the emerald-haired girl had predicted, the venue for the Grand Contest was already packed with people. The moment Bai Ye stepped out of the door, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed in and surrounded her.

"Why are there so many people?" "Hmm, it seems like they're all here for Brother Bai Ye."

Holding Bai Ye's arms on either side, Xiao Guang and Xiao Yao couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before them.

"Baiye, you dominated the entire Miko Cup tournament. Will you continue to participate in related grand tournaments in the future?"

"Mr. Baiye, may I ask how you captured and gained the approval of the legendary Pokémon, Suicune?"

"Mr. Baiye, how do you usually raise and train Pokémon? Would you mind sharing some of your training plans and special training methods?"

With a series of camera clicks, countless microphones surged toward Baiye like a tidal wave.

But before the chattering reporters could take another step forward, their powerful superpowers abruptly blocked them from entering.

There's nothing wrong with conducting interviews to capitalize on trending topics, but it's essential to maintain necessary social distancing.

"what"

At this moment, under the disdainful gaze of those clear, crimson eyes, the reporters who were originally thinking about making a big news story and couldn't wait to rush forward all instinctively trembled and took several steps back.

"As for whether I will participate in the Grand Contest in the future, my answer is no. Of course, if a trainer with the strength I recognize comes to challenge me, I am happy to play along."

The rather arrogant and conceited acceptance speech for the champion came out of Bai Ye's mouth so lightly.

But to every reporter, it all sounded so perfectly natural.

Putting aside his excessively handsome face, which makes it impossible to refute him directly, Bai Ye's achievements alone perfectly match what he said—mastering several legendary Pokémon, reaching his peak right from the start, and delivering a dazzling performance that even Wallace admitted he couldn't replicate.

This cannot be called arrogance, but rather the confidence unique to a top trainer.

"As expected of Mr. Byakuya!"

A reporter couldn't help but exclaim, then excitedly began to take notes.

This is a blatant declaration of war against all Coordinators! It'll be on the front page of the news tomorrow!

But to everyone's surprise, what followed this domineering championship speech...

Bai Ye finally embarked on his unregulated advertising journey.

Although the system's task has been completed, since free ads are coming our way again, how can we not take advantage of it?

They're all using your live streams to advertise for me—

"A reporter just asked an excellent question about how novice trainers should train their Pokémon daily. Here, I'll only recommend the following dozens of specialty foods."

""

The reporters present stared at each other in disbelief.

No matter where you are, a zero-frame start after an extremely long wind-up is always so unexpected—

Wait a minute, they clearly came here to ride the wave of popularity, but how come they're the ones being ridiculed instead?!

Upon seeing this scene, Miss Joey and Melissa, who were also walking out of the venue, were both taken aback.

For the winning contestants, the awards ceremony after the competition is undoubtedly the most exciting moment.

However, the overly noisy and bustling atmosphere, coupled with a group of reporters eager for attention chasing after them outside, couldn't help but cause headaches. It was impossible to remain as calm and composed as Bai Ye, who even used this opportunity to generate free publicity.
