Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 614 Dojo Ranking Tournament Begins

As agreed, the Joey family would receive 30% of their harvest on Misty Island.

This is, after all, the Joy family's private property, and this is only because of Cynthia, the Four Heavenly Kings champion, and Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch.

That's why only 30% needs to be given.

People like Daye and Dianci share the spoils equally with the Joey family.

As for Piao Tai and Cai Zhong, their share is even more evenly split with the Joey family.

Seventy percent of them belong to the Joey family!

Even so, countless people beg for the chance to enter Misty Island!

If Misty Island could accept just anyone, the Joey family wouldn't have had so few members.

Back on the island, Li Shuwen and Shirona did not linger.

Li Shuwen needed to hurry back to Veil City to deal with the backlog of work, and so did Cynthia.

With a reluctant farewell kiss, Cynthia gave Li Shuwen a final touch on his sharply defined eight-pack abs.

"I'm leaving, please don't miss me."

Li Shuwen shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, this is the only thing I can't do."

Holding Cynthia's slender waist, Li Shuwen lowered his head and kissed her.

"Alright, this time it's really time to go."

When Li Shuwen returned to the Curtain Martial Arts Academy, Li Fei and his three disciples warmly greeted him.

"Brother Wen, you have no idea how many challengers have come to the Veil Dojo during the month you were gone. They've practically worn down the doorstep."

"You're finally back."

Ah Jin was very dissatisfied. "Those guys came to our door and didn't even challenge us. They just asked when Master was coming back. They clearly looked down on our level."

"Brother Fei is clearly very strong, and he's more than capable of guiding them. Those guys are just looking down on people."

Li Fei waved his hand, "No, no, let's have the welcome feast first."

Li Shuwen first went to the backyard to check on Riolu and Baby Dragon, praising their progress during this time, before heading off to eat.

At Uncle Saiba's restaurant, the head chef is not Uncle Saiba, but Soma.

Soma laughed triumphantly, "Thanks to Shuwen-ge's guidance last time, my cooking skills have greatly improved, and I have successfully passed the cooking competition to become a member of the Elite Ten."

"Finally, I can leave school and breathe some free air."

Li Shuwen's expression was somewhat strange. "Your idea of ​​freedom is running away from cooking school to cook at your family's restaurant?"

Soma paused for a moment, then quickly realized, "No, at school I cook with a specific purpose in mind, but here, I can cook whatever I want!"

Li Shuwen nodded and said nothing more, carefully savoring the dish made by Chuangzhen. Compared with the last time they met, he had indeed made great progress.

Soma asked curiously, "Shuwen-ge, will the Veiled Dojo participate in this year's Dojo Ranking Tournament?"

Li Shuwen's eyes were full of fighting spirit. "Of course I will participate. This time, I will bring the Veil Dojo back to the ranks of the eight major dojos."

Soma clenched his fist. "You're a Midas touch! Don't even mention the eight major gyms, becoming a direct Elite Four member wouldn't be a problem!"

Li Shuwen smiled but remained silent.

After they finished eating, the guests at the next table quickly came to Li Shuwen.

"Hello, Bookstore Owner, will the Curtain Dojo be open as usual tomorrow?"

"I'm your fan, and I came here specifically to challenge the Veil Gym two weeks ago."

"I didn't expect you to be away. I've been waiting for you to come back, and I never thought I'd see you here."

Li Shuwen nodded, "Of course we'll be open. Come over tomorrow."

The Gym Ranking Tournament is just around the corner. Rather than continuing to increase their power, Pokémon that have already gained so much on Misty Island need to train their control.

Unleash the existing power to create even greater destructive force.

The attack must be precise enough, while minimizing energy loss.

Embracing challengers is the best way to hone your self-control.

For the next two weeks, Li Shuwen received about twenty challengers every day.

With the help of these challengers, Li Shuwen's control over his Pokémon rapidly improved.

Finally, the dojo ranking tournament began in three days.

Li Shuwen closed the Veiled Dojo and took Li Fei and his three disciples to Lily Island.

Suzuran Island is not only the venue for regional tournaments, but also the venue for various high-level competitions, such as gym ranking matches, Elite Four selections, and regional championship battles.

They are all here, but located in different arenas.

The intensity of the playing field varies greatly depending on the type of competition.

The venue used for the dojo ranking competition is of a very high standard.

Because there are 24 gym leaders participating in this competition, the ranking matches will take 23 days to complete.

A full-scale six-on-six battle every day is not only a test of the Pokémon's stamina, but also a significant physical and mental burden for the trainer.

But for the audience, it was a 23-day tournament, and one that was even more so for a gym leader.

I couldn't be happier.

Twelve matches a day—you can't watch them all, you simply can't!

The alliance prepared luxury suites for each gym leader, and Li Fei, A Kai, and their family members and disciples were also arranged with single rooms.

There is also a cafeteria that provides free meals.

After putting away their luggage, Li Shuwen called Li Fei and the others to go to the free canteen.

Ah Jin was a little disappointed. "Master, we've already arrived at Lily of the Valley Island, shouldn't we go and get something good to eat?"

Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Silly child, there are tourists everywhere outside Linglan Island right now, there's no room for you to go in and eat."

"The availability of free cafeteria food at this time means that we don't have to wait to eat fresh and delicious meals."

Ah Jin immediately gave a thumbs up, "As expected, it has to be Master."

When Li Shuwen and his group went to eat, they happened to run into Cai Zhong, who was boasting about his heroic performance on Misty Island.

The person listening to her boast was a green-haired girl.

Upon seeing Li Shuwen, Cai Zhong's voice abruptly stopped.

The girl asked curiously, "Why did you stop talking?"

Cai Zhong quickly changed the subject, "Lia, let me introduce you. This is Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch, the one who saved Piao Tai with me."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Hello, Cai Zhong, does Piao Tai know you're talking about him like that?"

Cai Zhong shrugged. "Just don't tell him. It's his own fault for not arriving yet."

So, when your friends are having a party, never arrive too late, or you'll have no idea what your image will look like.

"Lia is the Gym Leader of Grassy Town and is skilled in using Normal-type Pokémon. As for Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch, I think he doesn't need any introduction."

"The first gym in the Sinnoh region to adopt multi-type Pokémon."

Piao Tai arrived at Lily of the Valley relatively early, in the afternoon.

Upon seeing Li Shuwen, Piao Tai took a stone out of his backpack and handed it to Li Shuwen.

"This fossil is my way of thanking Mr. Shuwen for saving us."

Li Shuwen didn't stand on ceremony with Piao Tai and directly accepted the fossil.

The next morning, Li Shuwen received a notification from the staff to draw lots.

Drawing lots involves drawing numbers. On the first day, number 1 and number 24 will play against each other, on the second day, number 23 will play against each other, and so on. The order of the matches is determined by the numbers drawn.

Ranked matches are scored based on the number of Pokémon that do not lose their ability to battle during the match.

The lowest score is 0 points, and the highest score is 6 points.
