Chen Ming effortlessly secured a victory at the Pokémon Contest. The ribbons awarded were beautifully crafted, featuring a specially designed aesthetic. After admiring them for a moment, he tucked them away.
He had participated in the contest purely for the experience; he intended to keep the ribbons as collectibles and had no plans to compete in the Grand Festival. Collecting meaningful items was something Chen Ming had always done: the glass art from the Orange Archipelago, the League trophy he’d given Auntie Delia to use as a dumbbell, and the Wish Maker of the Seven Nights necklace that Mew had recently tucked away for him—they all carried memories unique to their experiences and were highly cherished keepsakes.
The winner of the latest Pokémon Contest in Verdanturf Town had come as a surprise to many locals. In Professor Oak’s Pokédex, Mewtwo was an incredibly rare and powerful Pokémon. None of the merchants specializing in Pokémon Contest prizes had been prepared for such an outcome—who could have predicted that Chen Ming would show up to compete? On the day of the victory, which was usually the best time for sales, there was no relevant merchandise to be found. Many merchants lamented their lack of preparation, but this time, nobody could produce any goods related to Mewtwo.
