Chapter 1223 Why do you think Galar is willing to empty its own pockets to host a regional league?
Qian Lin greeted Dr. Kukui as soon as he saw him: "Hey, isn't this Royal Dr. Kukui?"
Kukui, who was about to walk over with a smile on his face, froze in place.
No. What is Royal Dr. Kukui?
"Is that a nickname?" Mao asked Liliae subconsciously.
Liliae also shook her head in confusion: "I've never heard of Professor Kukui having such a nickname."
Shinji, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Dr. Kukui with some surprise, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Seeing Shinji's increasingly strange look, which seemed to be about to confirm his true self, Kukui interrupted the gathering of energy and extended his right hand towards Qianlin: "Champion Qianlin! I heard that you helped the Galar League resolve a crisis two days ago, and you took the trouble to come to Alola. You've really worked hard."
The smile was a little forced.
Qianlin stretched out his hand with a playful look on his face and shook it with Kukui: "Nothing, I heard that the Royal Masked Man will hold an exhibition match in a while, and my rogue panda is a little interested in his fighting style, so I came here early."
Professor Kukui was sweating all over.
The hand holding Qianlin was sweating.
This isn't right, how did Champion Qian Lin know his hidden identity?
The Royal Masked Man should only be active in Alola, and there are no related news reports in other regions. This is Qianlin’s second visit to Alola. How could he know that I am the Royal Masked Man?
Loosening his hand, Qianlin laughed at the sweaty face of Dr. Kukui: "Just kidding, I came here mainly because of the news about the Rainbow Rocket Team, so I came here early."
Dr. Kukui let out a long breath... and then immediately inhaled it back.
He looked at Qian Lin in disbelief: "Are they coming?"
If this is the case then he would rather his identity as the Royal Masked Man be exposed.
"Not sure yet." Qian Lin shook his head, his expression slightly more serious. "It's not convenient to tell me the identity of the person who came to me. It will take some time to compile his information and news. But judging from his attitude, it should take some time."
Boss Sakaki didn't run away in a hurry. Instead, he was leisurely wearing flowery shorts and basking in the sun on the beach, so there should be some time.
Hearing this, Dr. Kukui breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, the Alola League can continue."
Qian Lin was a little surprised when he heard this: "League? Are you serious? At this point in time?"
The Rainbow Rockets are about to come, and you still want to start a league?
Dr. Kukui laughed helplessly and sighed, "I have been preparing for this league for several years. The residents of Alola are not very interested in it. This year, I finally managed to get everyone to show some interest and support the establishment of the league. If this year's league is postponed, then... I guess no one will support the Alola League anymore."
Qianlin sensed the helplessness in Dr. Kukui's words.
Alola is a rural place, but unlike the remote and poor area of Galar, Alola is a tourist destination and is quite well-known in the entire Pokémon world. Coupled with the mentality and living habits of the people here, it is not as destitute as Galar at all.
Therefore, they are not very enthusiastic about the so-called league to attract trainers from other regions. The simple tourism industry is enough to support the entire Alola, and even make it wealthy.
Professor Kukui is determined to create the Alola League and allow Alola trainers to go global.
The people here didn't object, but they didn't support it either. Only Dr. Kukui kept working hard.
Professor Kukui looked at Qianlin with gratitude in his eyes. "Because of your live broadcast and several major events in other regions, Owleye became well-known all of a sudden. The reputation of Alola trainers also spread. Trainers continue to come to Alola to capture Owleye."
"Now that the number of trainers in Alola has skyrocketed, it is the best time to launch the Alola League. The people in the Alola region have also seen this and are gradually beginning to support the development of the league."
Kukui took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, and his eyes were indescribably sharp: "This is the best time, and the best opportunity. I only have this one chance, and I must seize it!"
The ambition is good, but to be honest, Qianlin is not optimistic.
Think about the Alola League in the anime. Apart from the final exhibition match between Satoshi and Kukui, there was basically not much to watch throughout the entire process, especially the big fight in the preliminaries... Qianlin really couldn't appreciate it.
With good and bad players mixed together and in such a chaotic fight, it is easy for those who are not strong enough to make it to the top four, while those who are strong are inexplicably besieged and eliminated.
But Qianlin could understand it. After all, there were no gym leaders in the Alola League, and no professional league referees. Everything had to be kept simple...
Thinking of this, Qianlin narrowed his eyes: "Dr. Kukui, have you thought about the mode of the competition?"
Dr. Kukui was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously and said, "There aren't many professional people in Alola. I've applied to the Alliance Headquarters, but they told me that they can't spare any help for the time being, so I'm going to have a preliminaries where all the participants can play together and then decide the top four."
"This kind of competition mode is too perfunctory." Qian Lin criticized without hesitation.
Dr. Kukui was stunned for a moment, then helpless again: "This is the only way for the first session."
"I have an idea!" Qian Lin smiled. "I have a few subordinates in Galar. They will return to Earth after participating in the competition in a few days. But I can ask them to return later and use them as a temporary gym for the first competition in Alola."
These tools are so useful!
Kukui's expression immediately became excited: "Is it possible? Is it really possible? Will it be too late in time?"
Qianlin reached out and held down Kukui's waving right hand, and laughed like a profiteer: "Kukui, Alola is not big, and you can run around twice a day with riding Pokémon. You can learn from Galar and bring all the riding Pokémon in Alola. Anyone who registers at the Pokémon Center can ride for free."
"Then I will have my people stationed in iconic buildings throughout Alola. You should immediately carve eight attribute gym badges. You can design them in any way you like, as long as they reflect the characteristics of Alola. Once they are in place, we will immediately start the gym challenge."
"In a place as small as Alola, with a little effort, it only takes four or five days to collect all the gym badges. Even if it's slower, you can still get them all within half a month. Your league... shouldn't start next week, right?" Qian Lin raised an eyebrow.
Dr. Kukui took a breath and looked at Qianlin with great excitement: "Of course, it will take at least another month."
"That's right." Qian Lin slapped his thigh, "You can start building momentum now. The Galar League will end next week. By then, I will let Reshiram and Zekrom take them over directly. All you have to do is provide them with food and accommodation, and give them each a Z-pure crystal. Then they will be the perfect cattle and horses."
"And don't use the brawl mode for the preliminaries. I'll have all of them switch to referees right now. Together with Shinji, Kachi, you, the island masters, and their disciples, it will be easy to have more than ten or twenty matches at the same time. The preliminaries can be completed in two days, and the top four will be decided directly. The finals will start on the last day, and the entire Alola League can be completed in less than five days."
"Do you think it's feasible?" Qian Lin smiled.
