But the Alliance Conference is different.
Pokémon battles are the most watched event in the world, even before the liberation of the Ore Region, various towns still held Pokémon battle tournaments organized by arenas.
In mainstream areas.
Trainers of different age groups travel around the world, capturing and nurturing various Pokémon.
Through Gym challenges, they earn badges one by one, eventually participate in regional tournaments to verify their strength in the "final exams," until they reach the peak of a region.
The many industries that have arisen around trainers make each region incredibly prosperous.
The Galar Region's rise is marked by attracting a sufficient number of foreign trainers, and to ensure the quality of trainers, they've adopted an invitation system!
Does this dampen the enthusiasm of trainers?
No!
Even more trainers are heading to the Galar Region! Even if they can't participate in Gym challenges or the Champion Cup, wave after wave of trainers are still eager to go.
Gigantification is merely one of the lures driving them.
What does the Ore Region lack?
Talent! Technology! Various resources that can't be bought even if you have the money!
With the arrival of foreign trainers, the Ore Region naturally attracts those giants who hold talent, technology, and resources.
Of course.
The most important thing is, Shanren aims to use the first conference as a foundation to advance to the Ore Pokémon Alliance President.
How could he be satisfied with just the position of Mayor of Pyrite Town?
Besides Pyrite Town, the Ore Region has more prosperous Silicon City, the outward-linking Jinqing Port, the local trainers' Holy Land Battle Mountain, the peaceful place Agate Village, and more.
Not to mention the large and small settlements built around various arenas.
The Ore Region is both big and small; big as its land is mainly desert-based, small as people are concentrated in just a few places.
The total population of the whole region might only be two million, or even far less──
This includes those criminals who have been judged.
Talking about regional development, how can it go without absorbing the foreign population?
Shanren does not expect the conference to attract many people to settle down, as long as they are willing to stay a little longer, it's greatly beneficial for Ore's development.
Contact with the outside world also easily changes the thinking patterns of local residents in Ore.
Now it's already a time of peace!
Pyrite Town's Rainbow Team, originally responsible for stabilizing the remaining forces and the town's security, has now been renamed Rainbow Group!
Therefore, Shanren successfully obtained the hosting rights for Ore's first conference.
The Rescue Organization's higher-ups also decided to announce the establishment of the Ore Pokémon Alliance on the day of the conference.
So here's the problem.
When will the Ore Region's first Alliance Conference be held?
'Rest assured! At the latest, early next year! At the earliest, this year in the second half! Anyway, the main venue for the conference has been built already!'
Over the phone, Shanren spoke confidently.
Baimu complained: "You announce this year but the match opens next year? Do you think you're making a computer game!"
A year later, the Pokémon World Championship will have already begun!
'Announce using your momentum, who made you so formidable, going abroad for less than a year, winning all the Gorgeous Competition and Hoenn Alliance tournaments, even finding Lugia!'
Shanren's voice suddenly full of resentment when this was mentioned.
He still remembers being shocked awake in the middle of the night.
But similarly, going abroad, he challenged so many tournaments without winning once, while Baimu solved them all within a year.
Originally, he thought Baimu would at least travel for two or three years.
At that time, Ore Alliance Conference would be just in time built.
'Your actions were too fast, forcing me to speed up too, luckily your fame brought us external support, accelerating construction in all aspects.'
"Blame me huh?"
Baimu also knows his progress is quite fast, but who made him have a simulator! With cheats open yet still can't surpass others, he might as well not be a trainer.
Shanren chuckled: 'Honestly, your achievements also make me increasingly confident about 'Ore Emperor' plan, get stronger! Ore's champion cannot lose to other regions!'
"And what about the Ore's Alliance President?"
'Also cannot!'
"With those words, I'm assured."
He laughed and chatted with Shanren for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
At the latest a year, at the earliest less than ten months...
Baimu thought about his team's Pokémon progress speed, thinking: "It shouldn't be a problem. Ten months is enough for me to do at least a dozen or more simulations of blue and above, raising all to Level 70 easily.
"Mawile, Hydreigon and they should exceed Level 75, looking at the current pattern of rare talent appearances, Orange Talent might also show up."
Double Orange Talent...
That's hard to say.
He looked at the orange talent's reward──[Raise any Pokémon by five levels (below lv90)], just with this, enough to elevate the current Aggron to Level 81.
Its paper data already reaching the Regional Champion level!
Unfortunately, for maximum efficiency, it's best to save this for post-80 level use, as per his knowledge Pokémon levels below 80 might still be grindable over time.
Above 80 level all rely on fate, daily exercise improvements become negligible.
In due time.
Raising a Pokémon's overall combat power might rely on bonds?
Anyway, Aggron's level up speed isn't fast, was Level 68 when leaving Pyrite Town, soon to return at Level 76, how many months has it been!
Not to mention compared to the naturally gifted hard-working Hydreigon, even Mawile and Dragapult outpace it.
Aggron's limitations?
Perhaps.
Anyway, with a simulator on him, and only being 18 years old, it's not a dream to raise everyone to Level 90 relying solely on simulator rewards before turning 30.
Level is certainly no obstacle!
Baimu shut off the simulator interface, glanced at the phone screen: "Have we contacted Dr. Akihabara yet?"
'No, he still hasn't replied.'
Porygon II's voice came from inside.
Since revealing Zeroth Machine's background on that day, Dr. Akihabara lost contact with him again, he tried reaching him last night but still got no response.
Truthfully.
At this moment with such good exposure for promoting Porygon here, Dr. Akihabara fails to cherish it one bit, burying himself in capturing Zeroth Machine, Porygon's popularity not rising is largely his fault!
Luckily Shanren helped with the promotion, and he specifically had Porygon II open a blog account.
Frequently uploading short videos and photos of training Pokémon, letting Porygon II and the former Porygon appear more, enhancing others' impression or whatever──
Not yielding good effect.
Many have apprehensions about the highly intelligent artificial Pokémon, plus Porygon's look isn't appealing, currently only knowledgeable trainers have interest in it.
Baimu thinks what's missing is a Porygon phone.
Just like a Rotom phone, Porygon doesn't necessarily need to participate in battles, being an intelligent mobile assistant like Siri or Xiao Ai isn't bad either?
'Balza replied.'
Porygon II's words interrupted his thoughts.
Soon.
A Light Wheel appeared on his right, Hoopa emerged from it, giggling: "Xiaobai! Good morning!"
"It's afternoon here, Hoopa, long time no see."
Baimu smiled greeting this mischievous fellow.
"Hehe!"
The Altered-color Gengar jumped out from the shadow excitedly.
Hoopa also happily pounced on Gengar, rolling around together, shouting: "Xiao Geng! Good morning Xiao Geng!"
Its friendship with Gengar is based on the Gorgeous Large Celebrations, a big and a small Ghost Attribute Pokémon occupying a spot watching the match, incredibly close.
"Hee hee hee hee!"
Gengar held Hoopa's cheeks, squishing them round.
Hoopa also grabbed Gengar's cheeks, pulling them like noodles into great length, the latter taking advantage to stick out its tongue and make a cross-eyed funny face.
"Haha! Xiao Geng is still so amusing!" Hoopa laughed heartily.
On the side.
Baimu was describing the Zeroth Machine issue to Balza and Mei Yali, who don't frequently surf the internet, more confused about the universe and a second home.
But they barely understood the Zeroth Machine's wrongdoing.
"We naturally agree to use Hoopa's power to reward good and punish evil, Baimu, I trust you won't misuse this power, no need to go out of your way explaining each time."
Mei Yali smiled and said.
Baimu replied: "It's always better to explain it a bit. By the way, once this matter is resolved, I'll be visiting the Valley of Creation to meet your grandfather."
"That would certainly be splendid." The siblings nodded.
