Chapter 323:
Pokémon League Conference, although it's the League's most grand and highest-standard Trainer competition,
Hayashi Kaede felt it might still be somewhat inadequate for Gardevoir?
Because, to some extent, Gardevoir's level was already on par with some Legendary Pokémon.
Not to mention, after Mega Evolving, its level was even infinitely close to Alola's Guardian Deities?
Moreover, it had eaten food with various stat-boosting effects...
"Gardevoir... you, you want to go?" Hayashi Kaede swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask again.
Gardevoir stretched lazily. "Gardevoir~" (I want to go see~)
It had always stayed home, making Energy Cubes and cooking for everyone every day.
Now, with the holiday finally here, and seeing the chat history between Hayashi Kaede and Kazephyr on Rotom,
it learned that this so-called Pokémon League Conference was the highest-level Trainer competition in the Eastova region, which piqued its curiosity.
"This... alright then."
Hayashi Kaede wanted to say that with its strength, going might just be like clubbing baby seals?
But the words stopped at his lips.
Because the Eastova region was so vast; there might be some extraordinary people and stories. This Pokémon League Conference gathered most of the region's Trainers.
Perhaps some outrageous things would happen.
Moreover, so what if Gardevoir wanted to go?
If it wants to go, then let it go!
Who cares if it ends up sweeping the Pokémon League Conference.
Thinking this, Hayashi Kaede felt much more comfortable.
But, since they had decided to go, they needed to ask who else wanted to go.
With this in mind, Hayashi Kaede immediately tallied the levels of the Pokémon currently in the room.
Gardevoir – 94-96.
Serperior – 62-64.
Milotic – 59.
Blaziken – 60-62.
Butterfree – 41-44.
Primarina – 45-47.
Alolan Ninetales – 61-64.
Dragonite – 75-78.
Goodra – 64-67.
And the Pidgeot outside...
Not to mention the smaller Pidgeot, the largest one was now level 57-59.
These were all Pokémon Hayashi Kaede felt could participate in the Pokémon League Conference.
But then, he looked at the little cake with cream on the sofa.
One of the Alcremie seemed to be level 39.
Although its level didn't seem impressive, its Metronome could sometimes produce unexpected effects!
And the Miltank, although they produced milk every day, actually had quite high levels from eating the Wild Grass Dumplings daily.
The best milk producer was already level 51-53.
"Hey, let's gather everyone and ask!"
Hayashi Kaede didn't ponder long and quickly put this idea into action, calling all the Pokémon together and explaining the matter.
"Ninetales!" Alolan Ninetales was the first to express its opinion, stating it wanted to go.
"Alright!" Hayashi Kaede smiled and nodded.
Since seeing Rayquaza, Alolan Ninetales had become more and more enthusiastic about such things.
"Blaziken?" (How many days will this last?)
Blaziken was more concerned about this.
Outside, although Hayashi Kaede would prepare delicious food for it, it still wasn't as tasty as eating at home.
But it was more fun outside.
"Probably three or four days?"
Hayashi Kaede recalled previous Pokémon League Conferences and replied.
"Blaziken~!" (Then I'll go too!)
Next, Hayashi Kaede looked at Milotic, Primarina, and the others.
Primarina clearly shook its head and retreated into the water tank.
Milotic, however, seemed hesitant this time.
"What's wrong, Milotic?" Hayashi Kaede found this novel.
"Milotic..."
Milotic swam around in the tank, finally pressing its face close to the glass.
It expressed its thoughts, "Milotic..."
"You want to go out and have fun, but you don't really want to battle?"
Understanding Milotic's thoughts, Hayashi Kaede chuckled. "Of course, that's fine."
Butterfree shook its head and flew back to its glass room.
It had no interest in these things; its initial dream was simply not to be eaten and to be full.
Among Hayashi Kaede's Pokémon, it was a very laid-back one.
"Serperior, what about you?" Hayashi Kaede looked at Serperior.
"Serperior~"
Serperior rubbed against Hayashi Kaede's hand; this was something it had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Miltank~"
Miltank indicated it would rather stay home and produce milk.
It had never experienced a battle before.
The large Pidgeot, having shrunk down to enter the room, nodded.
The thought in its mind was—to fight for its Trainer and conquer the battlefield!
Dragonite and Goodra were also eager.
Dragonite remembered the previous defense battle.
And Goodra remembered the Junior Cup, that Golem;
it seemed like it would be quite fun.
The Alcremie that was also asked kept tapping its little hands together.
It asked somewhat timidly:
"Alcremie?" (C-Can I go too?)
"If you want to go, then go. Don't be nervous~" Hayashi Kaede patted its little head.
(*^_^*): "Alcremie~" (Yeah~)
Alcremie showed a happy smile.
"Alright, so it's decided! Gardevoir, Dragonite, Goodra, Alolan Ninetales, Serperior, Blaziken, Pidgeot, and Milotic, who wants to go watch!"
Hayashi Kaede quickly finalized the Pokémon selection for this Pokémon League Conference.
Although there were eight Pokémon in total, and the finals are 6v6, throughout the competition, Pokémon can be switched freely.
As long as the number of Pokémon sent out meets the requirement and they belong to the Trainer, it's fine.
"Blaziken!"
Hearing this, Blaziken widened its eyes, looking incredulously between Hayashi Kaede and Gardevoir.
It was asking,
*Gardevoir is going too?*
Hayashi Kaede understood Blaziken's confusion and explained, "Yes, Gardevoir is going too. Anyway, there's not much going on recently."
"Blaziken!"
Blaziken ran around Gardevoir, shocked that it even wanted to compete.
With Gardevoir's strength, competing...
Wasn't that just bullying the kids?
"Gardevoir..."
Watching Blaziken run circles around it, Gardevoir broke out in a cold sweat.
"Gardevoir~?" (Stop spinning, stop spinning.)
It was making its head spin.
"Blaziken..."
Blaziken immediately settled down.
Since the decision was made,
Hayashi Kaede began replying to Kazephyr.
[Hayashi Kaede: I'll participate in this year's Pokémon League Conference. Are there any assessments or procedures needed? Don't you need to meet certain conditions?]
From what Hayashi Kaede knew, the Pokémon League Conference was different from ordinary competitions.
It required Trainers to obtain a corresponding number of Badges to qualify.
[Kazephyr: Alright, I'll register you for participation. You don't need Badges either.]
