# Chapter 140: Meeting the Future Champion Again
In a state of confusion, Bai Feng left the Stadium and was eventually led to the Arena Backstage by a Miss.
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. The Prize you won will be delivered shortly."
After the Miss invited Bai Feng into a Room, she prepared Tea for him while speaking in a gentle tone.
"Okay."
Bai Feng nodded. Just then, his Phone received an Information Remind. He opened it and saw that the Deposit he had paid before the Match had been returned.
Bai Feng had two Storage Accounts. One was for his personal use, containing a small amount of Money for daily expenses.
The other was managed by Bai Ye, where the majority of Bai Feng's Assets were stored. It could be said that Bai Ye was the one who held the financial power in the Home.
The Arena was very efficient. Just as Bai Feng put his Phone away, a middle-aged man dressed in a black Tailcoat, looking like a Butler, pushed the Door open and walked in.
Behind him followed another Staff Member, who was holding an exquisite wooden Box. As expected, it contained the Light Stone that Bai Feng had won.
The Butler gave the person behind him a look, and that person respectfully placed the wooden Box on the table in front of Bai Feng.
"Esteemed guest, this is the Prize you won in this Match. Please inspect it," the Butler said with a Smile.
Bai Feng nodded and slowly opened the Box. Inside, he saw a pale yellow Gem. Its texture was crystal clear, without a trace of Impurity, and it emitted a dazzling light.
It was indeed a Light Stone.
Bai Feng picked up the Light Stone and inspected it. After confirming it was correct, he put it back in the Box, looked up at the Butler, and said:
"It's the Prize I wanted, no mistake. Thank you for your trouble, sir."
The Butler said with a beaming Smile, "It's all part of my duty. It's wonderful that the guest is satisfied. Also, just to confirm, has the Deposit paid by the guest been returned to your Account?"
Bai Feng nodded.
The Butler heard this and said, "That's good. Then our service for you this Time concludes here. If the guest has any other needs, you can call upon any Staff Member here at any Time."
Afterward, Bai Feng was led back to the VIP Room by a Miss.
Seeing Bai Feng return, Fu La Da Li stood up with a smile and said, "Congratulations! You got what you wished for!"
Bai Feng pretended to be scared and said, "Fortunately, I didn't lose, otherwise I would have been heartbroken. That was six million!"
Just then, Bai Ye and Fu La Da Li's Phones each received an Information Hint. They opened them to check.
Fu La Da Li received 340 million.
Bai Ye received 310 million.
Because the majority of Bai Ye's bet was on the third Match, and Bai Feng's Odds had decreased significantly after winning two consecutive Matches, even though the total amount they bet was the same as Fu La Da Li's, the return they received was over thirty million less.
The human and the Pokémon looked at each other and couldn't help out smile.
"Huh? What are you two smiling about?" Bai Feng was confused.
Although Bai Feng's two Storage Accounts were both under his name, the other one had always been managed by Bai Ye, and the bound Phone number was the one Bai Ye used. So, until now, he didn't know that Bai Ye had made a large sum of Money using his funds.
It must be said that when it came to making Money, Bai Feng was not as sharp as Fu La Da Li! Otherwise, he would have thought of betting on himself long ago.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" It's nothing, it's nothing. We're just happy that you won the Match. Should we go back now?
Bai Ye walked to Bai Feng's side with a smile, affectionately hooking her arm through his, and asked, not planning to tell Bai Feng about the Money she won.
Bai Feng heard this and looked at Fu La Da Li: "It's getting late, should we go back?"
Fu La Da Li looked at the Time and found that it was indeed getting late, so he said, "Okay, let's go back then."
Just like that, Bai Feng, completely unaware, returned to the Villa District with Bai Ye and Fu La Da Li.
After returning to the Villa, Bai Feng immediately went to see Drilbur. He saw it still leaning over on the Computer, constantly tapping and poking the Screen with its small Tail, continuously reviewing various Video Data.
Seeing that its Eyes were swollen from watching, Bai Feng quickly walked over and dragged it away from the Computer.
"Have you been watching all day?"
Drilbur nodded listlessly.
Bai Feng patted his Head and said helplessly, "You don't have to be so anxious. Your Hometown is there and won't run away. As long as there's a Clue, you'll find it sooner or later!"
Drilbur lay on the Ground, looking like it had given up on life.
Bai Feng asked again, "Did you eat dinner?"
Drilbur shook its Head.
"Alright, go eat something first, then get some good rest. You can look at the rest tomorrow."
Saying that, Bai Feng dragged Drilbur by its Tail and took it to eat.
On the other side, Nie Zi had been waiting for Bai Feng to call him ever since the Match ended. He waited and waited, but his Phone remained silent.
At this moment, he deeply regretted only remembering to leave his Contact Information for Bai Feng but not thinking of asking for Bai Feng's Contact Information.
Late into the night, Nie Zi was still tossing and turning in Bed, unable to sleep. He would check his Phone from Time to Time, but he never received a call from Bai Feng.
In reality, Bai Feng had completely forgotten about that matter.
The next day, Fu La Da Li had Business to attend to and went out. Bai Feng stayed in the Villa alone and didn't go out. He either practiced Psychic Power or spent Time with his Pokémon doing Special Training or playing.
A day passed in the blink of an Eye.
In the Afternoon of the third day after Bai Feng and the others arrived in Wyndon, the Auction was finally about to begin.
After eating Lunch that day, Bai Feng took Bai Ye and Fu La Da Li and set off for the Auction venue.
This Auction was of a relatively high level and was not a public Auction. Generally, without an Invitation Letter, one would not have the Qualification to participate.
The location of the Auction was not in the City Center of Wyndon but at a Private Club in the Suburbs. As for who owned this Private Club, no one knew.
As soon as Bai Feng entered this Private Club, he knew that it usually did not entertain outsiders. The Location was very secluded, but the Environment was exceptionally good, and the Safety facilities were also very well done.
Perhaps to ensure the Safety of this Auction, Bai Feng noticed that there was a Trainer with a Pokémon standing guard almost every few steps after he entered the Club.
Their Eyes were sharp, and wherever their gaze swept, they seemed determined to pierce through everything, absolutely not allowing any accidents to occur.
In addition, there were people patrolling the Corridors and Hall with Pokémon from Time to Time, truly leaving no loopholes.
Bai Feng couldn't openly look around, so he could only scan everything with the corner of his Eye.
Through Psychic Power, he could sometimes Discover some hidden arrangements here, such as the invisible Kecleon on the ceiling, or cameras concealed through optical Effect, and so on.
Besides that, Bai Feng also saw many important figures he had only seen on Television. Some of them, upon seeing Fu La Da Li, would come over and greet him warmly.
As for Bai Feng, everyone subconsciously ignored him. He was an insignificant figure. At most, out of politeness, they would casually ask about Bai Feng while chatting with Fu La Da Li.
But that was the end of it.
Bai Feng didn't mind being ignored and just stood quietly to the side, acting as a background board.
Just then, Fu La Da Li met another Business Partner, and the two sides chatted happily, while Bai Feng quietly retreated to the side.
Suddenly, someone patted him on the back. Bai Feng turned around and met Nie Zi's pale face.
(ω) Bai Feng was startled.
It turned out that Nie Zi had also come to participate in this Auction.
"Why didn't you contact me?" Nie Zi stared at Bai Feng with a mournful expression. "Do you know how hard I waited for you?" Saying that, he pointed to his thick Dark Circles.
Yesterday and the day before, Nie Zi hadn't had a good night's sleep at all.
Bai Feng: Wasn't that Eye shadow you deliberately drew?
"So why did you insist on me contacting you?" Bai Feng asked, puzzled.
"Want to know? Then why didn't you contact me?" Nie Zi suddenly moved his Head closer to Bai Feng and said, his Eyes almost popping out.
Bai Feng gently pushed him: You don't need to talk so close, I can hear you, and I'm not particularly interested in knowing the Reason you want me to contact you.
However, Nie Zi didn't give Bai Feng a chance to continue speaking. He suddenly pulled away from Bai Feng, "Be sure to contact me when you get back, okay? I'll be waiting for you."
After saying that, Nie Zi disappeared from Bai Feng's sight.
Just then, Fu La Da Li had finished his conversation with Others. He saw that Bai Feng had just been talking to Nie Zi, so he asked curiously, "Was that Nie Zi, the Spikemuth Gym Leader? Are you two close?"
Bai Feng shook his Head: "Not close, I just met him yesterday. I just don't know why he keeps telling me to contact him."
Huh? That's right, he was wearing a Mask yesterday, wasn't he? How did Nie Zi recognize him today?
Never mind, I'll contact him later and ask.
Fu La Li nodded: "Perhaps he has something important to discuss with you."
The two didn't discuss Nie Zi much because someone soon came to announce that the Auction was about to begin and asked all bidders to take their Number Plates and get ready at their respective Seats or Private Rooms.
Fu La Da Li had a VIP Invitation Letter, so he was naturally going to the VIP Room. Before long, a bunny girl dressed in a Lopunny costume walked up to the two of them to lead them to the VIP Room to wait.
The VIP Room was on the Second Floor of the Club. When Bai Feng and Fu La Da Li reached the staircase, Bai Feng unexpectedly saw a familiar person.
"Bai Feng?"
A vibrant voice suddenly called out to Bai Feng.
"Miss Hua Cai?"
Bai Feng turned his Head and saw Hua Cai looking at him with a surprised expression.
"Bai Feng, you're here for the Auction too!" Hua Cai excitedly bounced over to Bai Feng and said.
Seeing Miss Hua Cai here, Bai Feng was surprised but not unexpected. She was from the Yulong Family, so it wasn't surprising that she would receive an Invitation Letter from the Auction house.
"Yeah, Miss Hua Cai, it's been a long Time since we last met!" Bai Feng replied happily as well.
Although they often kept in touch, they hadn't seen each other in person since they parted ways in Couriway Town. It was no wonder they were both Excited.
"And Bai Ye, long Time no see! You seem to have become even more beautiful." Hua Cai happily greeted Bai Ye and went forward to give her a hug.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" Long Time no see, you've also become more beautiful.
Bai Ye said while hugging Hua Cai. Although Hua Cai didn't understand a single sound, Bai Ye's meaning was clear. Women like being told they are beautiful, especially when it's the truth.
"Hua Cai, did you meet a Friend?"
Just then, a deep voice came from behind.
Hua Cai certainly didn't come alone.
"Dad, Yu Long Du, you're here! This is my Friend Bai Feng, I didn't expect to meet him here." Hua Cai generously introduced Bai Feng to her father and cousin.
Hua Cai's cousin was naturally the future famous Flying-type Elite Four (not) Yu Long Du.
At this Time, Yu Long Du looked very young. Although he was two or three years older than Bai Feng, his height was only about the same as his.
Hua Cai's father, Yu Long Tang, extended his right hand to Bai Feng with a gentle Smile and said, "Hello, I am Hua Cai's father. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Yu Long Tang had rare sea-blue Hair. He wasn't very tall, about 1.7 meters, but he was very handsome and looked very young. It was clear that some of Hua Cai's beauty was inherited from her father.
"Hello, Uncle, I'm Bai Feng." Bai Feng extended his hand and politely shook hands with Yu Long Tang, and introduced Fu La Da Li beside him, "This is my Good Friend, Fu La Da Li."
Seeing Fu La Da Li, Yu Long Tang was slightly surprised, clearly having heard of him before, so he said with a beaming Smile:
"I've heard much about you, Mr. Fladali."
"I've heard much about you, Mr. Yu Long."
Thus, the two adults began their mode of mutual pleasantries and commercial flattery.
Hua Cai ignored her father and pulled Bai Feng and Yu Long Du aside to introduce them to each other: "Bai Feng, this is my cousin Yu Long Du. Yu Long Du, this is my Good Friend Bai Feng, whom I've mentioned to you before."
Yu Long Du greeted Bai Feng with a bright Smile, "Hello, Bai Feng. I've heard about you from Miss Hua Cai for a long Time. I finally get to meet you today."
"I've also heard about the great name of Yu Long Du for a long Time. You are very active in various events in the Kanto Region and Johto Region. I often watch your Matches!" Bai Feng said, half-truthfully.
It was true that Yu Long Du was active, but Bai Feng hadn't watched many of his Matches. He was usually too Busy and simply didn't have the Time, only occasionally paying attention to Kalos's Matches.
Although Bai Feng was speaking falsely, Yu Long Du took it seriously and scratched his Head sheepishly.
What a pure Young Man!
Even Hua Cai could tell that Bai Feng was just being polite, but Yu Long Du couldn't.
After Bai Feng and Yu Long Du got to know each other, Hua Cai said to Bai Feng, "Ying Zhou is also here today. You probably haven't met her, right? She should be in a Private Room with her brother now. Let's arrange to get together after the Auction ends."
"Okay!" Bai Feng quickly nodded, "I'll follow the Misses' arrangements."
Miss Ying Zhou was from the Sasaki Family. Given the Sasaki Family's Status in the Kanto Region, it was not surprising that they would receive an Invitation Letter.
Seeing that the Auction was about to begin, everyone stopped chatting and parted ways, each going to their respective Private Rooms.
