"Alliance Champion, to become the Alliance Champion, then I'll know if this box is truly related to Mewtwo. I must say, it suddenly filled me with fighting spirit."
On the way to Lavender Town Park, Jiang Fan looked at the black password box in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.
However, anticipation aside, there are two issues that need to be considered.
First is making money, because the expenses for raising Charmeleon will now depend on him, and he also needs to pay lodging fees to the Pokémon House, especially since there will be a Snorlax in his team later.
If his wallet doesn't swell, what's the point of talking about being an Alliance Champion?
"If I remember correctly, there are three fastest ways for a Pokémon Trainer to make money, right?"
Jiang Fan put away the black password box and began to recall ways to make money.
"The first is through Pokémon auction houses, trading and selling rare wild Pokémon, or rare items."
"The second is participating in Pokémon competitions, and engaging in Pokémon bounty battles with people, or challenging Gyms. After winning a Gym, in addition to getting a medal, you can also get a large sum of prize money, otherwise it would not stimulate some Trainers' enthusiasm to challenge Gyms."
"The third is providing training services, becoming someone else's Pokémon sparring partner, or providing guidance and training, thereby collecting high fees."
"Currently, the third option, guidance and training, is the most suitable for me and the fastest way to make money, but I can't just earn money from Lavender Town. Those people are almost broke because of me, and I'll still need them in the future."
Muttering this, Jiang Fan took out his phone. He wanted to check if he could offer this service online.
Not long after, he found the answer he was looking for.
It is possible to register online as a Pokémon instructor, but it requires qualification prove.
And this qualification proof is your Gym medal. The more medals you have, the stronger your strength is, and the more money others will pay when they place an order.
Therefore, this registration requires the provider to have at least one medal as proof.
"It seems I need to find some time to challenge a Gym first," Jiang Fan mused.
Immediately after, he began to consider the second problem.
That is to establish a force in Lavender Town, so that when he needs help, he can get a hundred responses with one call.
Because he felt that Team Rockets would most likely come again. After all, if this thing is really related to Mewtwo, next time there might be more people.
After all, Sakaki is Mewtwo's biggest fan.
Old Man Fuji gave him the password box, probably fearing this, so he needed helpers to assist him in fighting Team Rockets, or to protect the Pokémon House when he was not around.
"Wait, if I were to create a Gym, it seems I could solve the difficulties I'm facing."
After a while, Jiang Fan suddenly thought of a solution.
Because a Gym, in addition to representing the strongest person in a place, also has the responsibility of training and cultivating local Trainers, and most Trainers will obey him.
Although he may not be the strongest Trainer in Lavender Town now, he believes it won't be long until he is, and with the system backing him, he has the ability to guide Pokémon and improve the overall strength of local Trainers.
The only thing he couldn't solve was that he couldn't issue Alliance-approved medals to Trainers.
But so what? This isn't illegal. As long as it develops well in the future, getting Alliance-approved badges will be fine.
"Okay, this idea has a lot of potential. I'll test their attitude later to see if they support me."
Thinking this, Jiang Fan's eyes flickered, and he felt a surge of motivation for this matter.
.....
Not long after, Jiang Fan arrived at the park with Charmeleon.
The Trainers in the park were either training or undergoing special training. When they saw Jiang Fan, they immediately gathered around.
They asked Jiang Fan what he had called them to Route 8 for earlier.
They had waited there for over an hour, only to suddenly receive news that the crisis was resolved and they were to return to the park and wait for him.
This made them suspect that Jiang Fan was deliberately playing a trick on them, especially with the sudden rise in temperature at the end, making everyone sweat profusely.
"The incident started when Team Rockets kidnapped Miss Li Nai. I rushed to rescue her. I called you over because I wanted your Help, but fortunately, I defeated them by myself."
Facing their doubts, Jiang Fan didn't hide anything and confessed directly.
"Team Rockets? That evil organization often reported in the news?"
But his confession immediately caused a stir among this group of Trainers.
"Jiang Fan, don't lie. I saw in the news that Team Rockets is very powerful. How could you defeat them alone?"
Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by their strong reaction.
It seemed that Team Rockets held a significant position in their hearts.
He continued, "What if I told you there were only three of them in this operation?"
As his words fell, someone immediately spoke up.
"You couldn't defeat three people either. Those are Team Rockets members."
Jiang Fan turned his head. It was Xiao Hao, the Poliwag Trainer from when he first came to the park.
Xiao Hao patted Jiang Fan's shoulder and laughed heartily:
"Brother Jiang, you're a bit of a braggart now."
His words resonated with others.
Although they might not be able to defeat Jiang Fan, they still didn't believe he could fight three people alone, especially Team Rockets members.
Charmeleon seemed anxious at this scene.
He didn't understand why, even though it was the truth, no one believed it.
"It's okay, no need to explain. Whether they believe it or not is up to them. One day, they'll be proven wrong," Jiang Fan squatted down to comfort him.
Charmeleon's excited emotions calmed down upon hearing this.
Just then, Li Nai happened to arrive at the park.
"Li Nai, I heard you were kidnapped by Team Rockets?" Xiao Hao greeted Li Nai.
Li Nai was first stunned when she heard this topic, then she saw Jiang Fan in the crowd and immediately admitted:
"That's right, I was kidnapped. Jiang Fan and Charmeleon rescued me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd immediately became much quieter.
They looked at Jiang Fan and her in surprise.
At this moment, Charmeleon looked up and let out a cry, as if praising Li Nai for coming at just the right time.
"Li Nai, you're not lying, are you? Jiang Fan alone with Charmeleon defeated Team Rockets?" Xiao Hao asked with some disbelief.
Li Nai nodded seriously:
"That's right. One of them was even a mid-level cadre of Team Rockets, but he was also defeated by Charmeleon, whom Jiang Fan commanded. I'm telling you, if you were there, you would definitely be shocked by that battle."
"Charmander first defeated Houndoom to evolve, then relied on his intelligence to defeat Arbok, and finally defeated Golbat with a Dragon Breath."
"I swear this was absolutely the most spectacular battle I've ever seen in my life."
"Rua~" -- You can talk, please continue.
Charmeleon let out a cry.
But he wasn't happy for more than a few seconds before someone in the crowd raised a question.
"Li Nai, you wouldn't be colluding with Jiang Fan to deceive us, would you?"
Then came a chorus of doubts.
"Yeah, this sounds too bizarre. First Houndoom, then Arbok, and finally Golbat. Just by Charmeleon alone, Team Rockets, you know? The Team Rockets that are often reported in the news, how could they be defeated so easily? What you're saying sounds more like they're just small fries."
"That's right. I heard Team Rockets caused a crisis in Pewter City last month. Fortunately, the Alliance arrived in time and resolved the crisis."
The clamor of doubts made Li Nai anxious, and she was about to argue with them.
But Jiang Fan held her back.
According to the Barnum effect in psychology, people only believe what they want to believe.
These people have already decided that Team Rockets is incredibly powerful. No matter how much you say, it's useless, unless Team Rockets kneels before him right now.
But just then, Jiang Fan chuckled.
Because Jenny, surprisingly, appeared here riding a vehicle.
Zuntou Nan was sitting in the car.
