Chapter 90: Sending Cruise Ships, Private Planes, And Such
Rookie King, born!
All the spectators on site gave Li Wei enthusiastic applause and cheers, while the host flipped open a small card and began to deliver his patter for Li Wei.
“Now, standing before you is Magic City’s strongest Rookie King! He not only won the Provincial Competition championship with absolutely crushing strength but also claimed the Grand Festival championship!
My goodness! Are we about to witness the rise of a generation’s King?!?!?!”
An utterly chuunibyou speech, but also the one that most stirred up the audience’s atmosphere. Everyone who came to watch the Grand Festival had a passionate heart, and all were infected by the host’s excited emotions, cheering wildly as they watched Li Wei take the stage to receive his Grand Festival Ribbon.
The performance this Glaceon gave them completely refreshed their understanding of Beginner Grand Festivals!
Type disadvantage overturned!
Were they watching the Pokémon anime released by the Pokémon League?!?!
Whoever says type disadvantage means you can’t win from now on! That’s clearly just them being weak and making excuses!?!!
“Excuse me, Competitor Li Wei, do you have any thoughts on winning this Grand Festival?”
“Competitor Li Wei, what exactly made you choose to participate in this Grand Festival’s Main Competition? Is it absolute confidence?”
“Competitor Li Wei······”
As expected, after leaving the Arena, it was another wave of reporters crowding in.
But turning a disadvantageous match into a final showdown that played like an advantageous one left him in an extremely good mood. Fortunately, he confidently held Glaceon and stood before the media, beginning his moment of boastful talk.
“To be honest, I actually came with the mindset of gaining experience, but later, during preparations, Eevee and I changed our minds.
We thought, since we’ve come here, our objective should be just one thing—that is—Champion!”
“Bu Yi, Bu Yi!”
The held Eevee also nodded very maturely, indicating ‘she thought the same.’
“This process was far more grueling than I imagined. The Grand Festival has many differences from normal Trainer battles, but also plenty of things to learn. All in all, this joint research with Glaceon has taught me a lot and benefited me greatly.
As for the final victory, I can only say it was well-deserved.
Whether it was the plan’s setup, the performance’s gorgeousness, on-site emotion management, or commanding the overall situation, I did very well. For my first time participating in the Grand Festival, though there were still flaws, it didn’t disgrace my Mother.
I’m very satisfied.
In the future, I’ll demand even more of myself, forge deeper bonds with my Pokémon, and while bringing everyone more exciting battles, also deliver brilliant Grand Festival performances.”
After speaking, Li Wei even bowed seriously to the camera while holding Glaceon.
This··· where was it an interview? It was more like a ‘Li Wei Grand Festival Victory Press Conference.’
Arrogant wording, carefree attitude, but Li Wei really did match speaking like that.
Currently, looking over the rookie circle, he indeed had the qualification to boast so boldly.
Waving his hand to indicate he had other matters later, Li Wei rushed into the VIP passage to reunite with Mime Jr., Riolu, and Magikarp who were already waiting in the Parking Lot.
“Karoo!! Karoo!!”
【Li Wei!!! Big Sis Eevee!!! You guys were just too handsome!! My goodness, Big Sis Eevee, how can you be so beautiful? If I were a bit more handsome, I’d want to invite you to eat····eat that thing·····a candlelight dinner!
When did your Ice Attribute usage become so powerful? Please teach me!!
My big brother and big sister are both so strong, I should work even harder······
Oh right, Li Wei~~~ my dear Trainer~~~~ Riolu big bro’s show turn is over, Big Sis Eevee’s show turn is over, so···· does that mean my turn is starting???
Oh~ my goodness!! Please train me hard!! I can take it!!!!!!】

······
Looking at Magikarp who was still chattering nonstop even in the fish tank, Li Wei felt deeply exhausted.
He didn’t know why, but a feeling rose in his heart: ‘Long time no see, and Magikarp is still as nagging as ever.’
“Alright··· got it······ next time you’ll get your show·····”
“Karoo!!”
【It’s a deal!! I want special Special Training too!! Wahaha!! After being whipped···· spurred by a diligent Trainer, I’ll definitely get stronger, wahahaha!!!!】
Finally, Magikarp was forced back into the Poké Ball due to excessive noisiness.
The Punishment mechanism no longer worked well on Magikarp; rather, punishing him by adding Training tasks felt like a disguised reward to him.
After feeling like his Pokémon was veering further down some strange path, the Grand Festival champion Ribbon he won in his hand suddenly felt a bit less appealing······
“Eevee, after we get home, take a bath, then let’s frame this Ribbon in a picture frame together, okay?”
Considering this was the glory he and Eevee earned after over a month’s hard work, Li Wei proposed this to her.
“Bu Yi Bu Yi!!”
【Sure!! Put it right next to Riolu’s Champion Trophy!!】
“OK.”
Li Wei had no objections to this; after all, he wouldn’t know what was going through Eevee’s brain.
‘As long as the number of Ribbons exceeds the number of Trophies, this wave is my sure win, right? I’m definitely the number one Pokémon in Li Wei’s heart, right??’
Thinking this, Eevee proudly raised her tail, holding a Peach Banquet in her mind.
Before even getting home—or rather, as soon as the Official news was released—Li Wei’s Mobile Phone rang.
Sure enough, it was his Mother calling.
“Hey, son, well done!!”
Mother’s voice came through the phone, and Li Wei could clearly hear the joy in it.
Mother was happy, so he was happy too!
After all······
“I’ve transferred money to you directly, son. Keep it up! Mom’s waiting for the day you advance to the World Grand Festival!!!”
As expected, she even sent money; this time’s amount must surely······
(﹃)
“Son, you need to encourage little Eevee more; she’s got such a bright future!! Mawile and Milotic, who watched the whole Match, both think she has real talent and will achieve great things in time. They were itching to go home and teach little Eevee personally!!”
“Ah··· this”
“But unfortunately, Mom’s really too busy with work to be with you. Sorry, son.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
（Actually, as long as the money’s in place, everything’s good, right, Mom?）
Li Wei thought this to himself as he replied.
“Wait for the October holiday; your dad seems to have time. He’s planning to take you out, so you two can discuss then. Mom can’t make it to the Start of School ceremony either; suddenly lots more work arrangements.
Sigh, should never have gone for that three-peat; it’s really·······
When Mom has time to go back, I’ll take you to check out planes and such.
Lately at exhibitions when bored, I chat with those ladies—Mrs. Gold and Mrs. White. When their sons win awards, they give yachts, private planes, and such.
Son, don’t feel wronged. Mom will definitely arrange it for you when I get back.
Oh right, I heard from Mime Jr. you rented a little Villa near University? How’s the place? Big enough? Any issues? Need Mom to buy you one? If not, we can get one inside the School······”
Listening to Mother’s endless nagging, he didn’t know why, but amid a bunch of feelings like ‘can’t afford it’ and ‘ah, is this the simple life?’, he felt warmth in his heart.
With Glaceon on his lap, hugging Riolu, phone on speaker leaned back on the rear seat, the sunset’s glow hitting the car window just right—at that moment, Li Wei felt there couldn’t be a more comfortable time than this.
The joy of success, Mother’s nagging care, the genuine evening breeze and sunset, the expectation of a victory feast at home······
Transmigration here was truly blissful.
