Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Chapter 702 Three-Crown Satellite Tournament, Advanced Tournament!

"Of course I'm happy. You're my idol and role model. I'd be laughing in my sleep if I could face you in an official match."

Shana pounced on him again, this time grabbing Xiaoguang's arm.

As she spoke, her gaze suddenly fell upon Serena beside her, and her eyes widened instantly:

"Salina? What are you doing here? Didn't you switch to challenging gyms?"

Shana and Serena are from the same hometown, and they made a pact to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament together and become outstanding performers.

Unexpectedly, Serena ran off with Ash (the blond guy), abandoning their dreams.

Hmph, woman.

Serena shrank back slightly, offering an awkward but polite smile:

"Um, would you believe me if I said I just came here to make up the numbers?"

"Hmm... I don't believe it. You cunning woman, you never tell the truth."

Shana squinted.

Anyone who's just there to make up the numbers is here, which is basically saying she's bad and the competition has no real value.

Serena looked at Shana's suspicious gaze and sighed helplessly.

She's really just here to make up the numbers.

Just then, another voice rang out, breaking the conversation between the two:

"Miss Hikari, it's been a long time."

Everyone turned their heads and saw a girl wearing a puffy skirt and with pigtails staring straight at Xiaoguang.

"Mirufi? You're here too."

Hikaru was impressed with the well-mannered maid-like girl and greeted her with a smile.

"I'll definitely be there for the advanced tournament, but Miss Xiaoguang is a bit late."

Mirufei nodded slightly.

Xiao Guang smiled sheepishly: "Ah, I was delayed by some things on the way, but it's okay, it shouldn't affect my registration."

"Then they must not have eaten yet."

Mirufei's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out a small box from her backpack and handed it to Xiaoguang with both hands:

"This, this is a baofen I made. If Miss Xiaoguang doesn't mind..."

Xiao Guang was somewhat surprised: "Baofen? Isn't that a specialty of Sinnoh?"

"I've studied the Sinnoh Boffin recipe, and although I'm not very proficient at it, I've still tried to make some."

Mirufei's cheeks flushed slightly: "I wonder how it tastes. Miss Xiaoguang, you can try it."

"Okay."

Xiao Guang didn't think much of it, took the box and opened it, and inside were indeed neatly arranged Baofen.

Xiao Guang picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, took a small bite, and squinted his eyes:

Five ants~~

"It tastes great!"

Baofen has a delicate texture, is sweet but not cloying, and has a subtle fruity aroma; it tastes excellent.

"I'm glad Miss Xiaoguang likes it."

Hearing the praise, Mi Rufei blushed and didn't dare to look at Xiao Guang.

Ahhh! Miss Hikari ate it! And she said it was delicious! That's amazing!!

Beside her, Shana quietly moved closer to Xiaoyun, nudged him with her elbow, and whispered, "Senior Xiaoyun, are you worried? Miss Xiaoguang is quite charming."

Xiaoyun, however, remained unfazed, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"After all, it's her."

She's just a lowly maid; she'll never amount to anything.

Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, a third voice broke in, carrying a hint of arrogance:

"It's you. How come I always run into such an ungentlemanly guy like you?"

Everyone turned their heads again.

A young girl wearing a deep purple dress and with her purple hair styled in an elegant updo walked slowly towards them.

She stood tall and straight, her chin slightly raised, with a heterochromatic Hakkarosaurus beside her.

Emilia, a wealthy heiress, is the arrogant opponent that Hikaru encountered in a previous match.

She still harbors resentment towards Xiaoyun for criticizing her and for losing to Xiaoguang.

"Miwu~"

The moment the variegated Hakkar saw Xiaoyun, its purple eyes lit up, and it let out a soft, whimpering cry.

He gestured for Xiaoyun to release his Hakron so they could all play together.

"I didn't bring it with me, maybe next time."

Xiaoyun shrugged.

"Meow..."

The dragon's ears immediately drooped, and the whole dragon looked extremely disappointed.

What a pity.

"Look at yourself, so pathetic. Take that expression off your face."

Emilia got angry at the sight of her Pokémon being so eager to please her.

It's just an ordinary Hakkarosaurus, is it that attractive?

The Shiny Dragonite glanced at its trainer with a wronged expression.

No, you don't understand it at all!

Emilia was even more annoyed, especially with Xiaoyun making sarcastic remarks from the side:

"Hey, you're so mean! You're even mean to your own Pokémon. Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Dragonair~~"

"First, I didn't say 'Hey'! Second, no, what is all this nonsense?!"

Emilia was influenced by Xiaoyun, and her mood worsened.

She swished her folding fan open, covering the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of purple eyes staring at him.

How could she have thought this guy was special before? It was an illusion! Absolutely an illusion!

That's such a nuisance!

"Emilia, it's been a long time."

At this moment, Xiao Guang also walked over, with a gentle smile on his face.

"What kind of tone is that? Are we that close?"

Emilia turned her head, glared at Xiaoguang, and said irritably.

Although she acknowledged that Hikaru was very strong, she was still very unconvinced.

You're a tsundere, aren't you?

Xiao Guang smiled gently, her gaze falling on Hakron beside her, and praised:

"Your Haku looks even more beautiful! Its fur is smoother than before. How did you do that? That's amazing!"

"Hmph, of course, you've come to the right person."

Emilia's attention was indeed drawn; she swiftly closed her fan and nodded, saying:

"Besides food, skin care is even more important for raising Hakkarosaurus. I take care of it every day with the finest special care oils, and then..."

Just as Emilia was getting into her story, Hikaru interrupted inappropriately:

"That's great, it's a pity I don't have any Hakron."

"you...."

Emilia looked at Xiaoyun, then at Xiaoguang.

As expected, no two people can sleep in the same bed; they're both so annoying!

Emilia snorted coldly: "Hmph, I'm just letting you know since I'm here. Don't get eliminated in the first round. Queen Carlos is mine!"

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Xiao Guang smiled and nodded, handling the situation with ease.

Just a haughty purple-haired girl; you're easy to handle.

"Pretending."

Seemingly not having heard Hikaru's competitive declaration of "I will definitely beat you," Emilia snorted in dissatisfaction and turned to leave.

As she was leaving, Emilia nearly bumped into Serena, giving Serena a once-over:

"Are you here to compete too?"

Serena replied politely, "Yes, nice to meet you."

Emilia frowned slightly: "He doesn't seem to have much stage experience, but since he qualified for the advanced competition, he must have some skills. He's barely qualified."

Serena gave a strange look and blinked.

Is this a compliment, or a sarcastic remark?

Seeing Emilia belittle Serena, Ash couldn't help but step forward and said seriously to Emilia:

"Serena is very strong! And she works very hard; she's a trainer who has earned eight gym badges!"

What? Eight gym badges?

When Shana heard Ash's words, the way she looked at Serena changed:

"Wow, Serena, that's amazing! Does that mean you can go to the League Tournament? I never expected this..."

She only knew that Serena was challenging the gym, but she didn't expect that she had already collected all eight badges.

This is really amazing; many trainers might not be able to achieve this even after a year of hard work.

Mirufei couldn't help but cast a surprised glance at her.

Although the exhibition match and the league conference have different focuses, obtaining eight badges is considered by professionals to be much more difficult than qualifying for the advanced tournament.

This means real, solid combat strength.

"Eight of them, are you a trainer?"

Emilia re-evaluated Serena, knowing full well the value of the gym badge—it wasn't something you could get just by being pretty.

She didn't argue, only muttering, "What's the point of trainers competing here if they're not doing their jobs properly..."

Xiaoyun thought to herself:

Indeed, in any field, hard power is the fastest way to gain respect.
