Chapter 73 Annihilation Mission, Gyarados Returns!
"Your best friend? Zhu Lan? Come on over! But what are you doing in the Donghuang region at this time of year? Is it really necessary for tourism?"
Li Luochen stroked his chin. From any perspective, Zhu Lan had no reasonable reason to come to the Donghuang region.
"Hey, didn't you know?"
Jia Deli blinked and handed her chat history with Zhu Lan to Li Luochen.
[Bai Cai who loves archaeology (note): Baby Cattleya~ The Donghuang region gave me an expedited review, so everything will be fine after the exhibition match. I'll arrive around the end of September and stay until October~ I'll be using your room during that time~ Is that convenient?]
[Sleeping Beauty: Chenbao said it's no problem, just come then~ If possible, could you bring some items for Dragon-type Pokémon? If I remember correctly, Cynthia, your Garchomp should have a lot of scales that can be rubbed off, right?]
[Cabbage Who Loves Archaeology: Yes, I do. I'll grind a few pieces down in the next few days. That should be enough champion-level dragon-type energy for a while.]
Sleeping Beauty: Mmm, thank you on behalf of my husband~
[Cabbage who loves archaeology: Oh my, it's only been a few days and she's already calling me 'husband'! Looks like our Lady Cattleya has already fallen for her. (Laughs while covering her mouth)]
Sleeping Beauty: No...no way! I'm logging off now, hmph!
[Cabbage who loves archaeology: Okay, okay, bye-bye~]
The chat history ends here.
After reading the record, Li Luochen glanced at Jiadeliya and noticed that her ears were turning red.
"So, that's how it is... Zhu Lan wanted to come to Rongcheng for an exhibition match, and the Donghuang Alliance expedited the approval process..."
Cattleya spoke somewhat haltingly.
That's normal.
She forgot that chatting with Zhu Lan would "reveal her true nature," and in doing so, she showed Li Luochen all of her best friend's chat history. Jia Deliya was somewhat embarrassed.
Li Luochen just smiled and didn't say anything. He stroked Jiadeliya's hair and smiled without saying a word.
But soon, Li Luochen thought of a problem.
"Zhu Lan is here for an exhibition match. Who in Rongcheng can hold their own against her for even a few rounds?"
Whether it's Principal Lin or Ye Tian.
They were only at the level of the early stages of the Heavenly King.
In other words, he's only at the beginner level of the Heavenly Kings, not yet at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Although exhibition matches are for entertainment purposes, the two sides need to be evenly matched to have a good performance effect.
Judging from Cynthia's strength, it's entirely possible that she could defeat the ace Pokémon of the two Elite Four members within three rounds if she were to bring out a single Pokémon.
"I don't know. I heard from Cynthia that it's a trainer of similar skill level to her. Could it be the champion of your Eastern Region?"
Gadriya felt that if the champion of the Donghuang region were to have an exhibition match with Zhulan, it would be no problem at all.
Li Luochen frowned and shook his head, saying, "Impossible. Uncle Xuanyuan is extremely busy and has been cultivating in seclusion in the secret realm recently. It's impossible for him to come to Rongcheng to have an exhibition match with Zhulan for the city-level Truth Dragon and Phoenix Cup."
"Besides, if those two were to really fight, it would have to be at least a national-level match. Zhu Lan is probably here for a private exhibition match, right?"
After analyzing the situation, Li Luochen asked a question in return.
"It seems so, but I don't know who the other one is."
Cattleya knew absolutely nothing about this.
"Hmm... let's leave that for now. We can't all be people we know, can we?"
Li Luochen made a joke.
This joke made Cattleya ponder: "It's hard to say."
Li Luochen also fell silent.
Their combined status covers almost the entire region.
Wherever I go, I know everyone; I can greet anyone, regardless of their status.
I have no idea who my parents know, and why they keep everything from me...
He's not going to refuse beef!
"uncertain."
Seemingly sensing Li Luochen's emotions, Cattleya gave him a meaningful look and replied in this way.
Li Luochen: (•́ω•̀ ٥)
ding dong~
Please check your private message.
My phone beeped with a notification sound.
Li Luochen clicked on the [Alliance APP] and saw a mass messaging task posted in the background.
Mission: Eliminate Team Rocket
[Skill Requirement: Elite Level]
[Rewards: Alliance Points, Alliance Coins, and various resources]
[Time: September 15th, 00:00 ~ ? ? ?]
Location: The waters around Arashima Island (including hidden areas in the deep sea)
[Note: It has been confirmed that the remnants of Team Rocket are still active in the waters near Arashi Island, with traces found throughout the surrounding hidden areas and sea surfaces. A group of elite trainers is needed to carry out hidden area exploration and sea area clearing missions. This operation is authorized and fully funded by the League, and the necessary diving equipment will be provided by the League.]
[Accept] [Reject]
Without a second thought, Li Luochen clicked "accept".
Although Giovanni is his uncle, one thing is one thing, and the Rockets still need to deal with it.
This involves resources and Masterball; this time, we need to wipe out the Rockets.
"Gu Leton, Po Kongyan, how are you two feeling now?"
Li Luochen looked at Gu Leton, who was licking his plate, and asked with a smile.
"Ahhh!" (I feel like I'm brimming with endless energy! I'll try swimming when I get back; maybe I can swim for a long time!)
Therefore, Leighton's riding ability was unlocked, his strength was restored to the late stage of elite level, and he became bolder.
Not to mention the Sky-Piercing Flame next to it.
"Roar!" (Boss, I'm not exaggerating when I say Tauros. Below the Gym Leader level, I'm in the top three. Apart from the Rakshasa, there are basically no elite Pokémon that can rival me.)
Po Kongyan didn't say anything too definitive, but it didn't really matter.
"Okay, it's good that you two are so confident, but don't be too confident, or you'll become arrogant."
The saying "pride comes before a fall" is absolutely true. If these two are too confident, they are easily tricked.
"Roar!" (I never thought our boss would actually understand the saying "pride comes before a fall.")
The Charizard looked deeply moved, like an old dragon who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Li Luochen rolled his eyes at Charizard and said irritably, "You're the only one here who has no right to say that."
Back in his first semester of senior year when he first got Pokémon, Li Luochen was fearless with his Charizard, which was still a Charmander at the time.
Despite his distinguished status, Li Luochen has never suffered a defeat, demonstrating remarkable self-control.
Not to mention Charizard, which went from a well-behaved child to a rebellious youth the moment it evolved into Charmeleon in the first semester.
Its main focus is on "exhilarating combat"!
Only attack, never defend; unparalleled in the world.
It only subsided somewhat after evolving into Charizard.
This trajectory is similar to Li Luochen's.
He was a good kid in elementary and middle school, a rebellious troublemaker in high school, and became more mature in college.
"Whoosh." (I didn't expect Charizard to have such a past... Amazing! ヾ(Ő∀Ő๑)ﾉ)
Hakron's eyes shone brightly.
If I had hands, I would have clapped long ago.
Damn it, when will I be able to evolve?!
When the time comes, I will give you a big hug!
Hakron made a silent vow.
"Naga." (Master's companions are all so strong, damn it! I can't keep being so lazy! Chef, get me some more delicious food!)
The Quadrantiformis was also trying to catch up with the main group.
Each Pokémon has its own things to do.
Li Luochen nodded slightly, just as he was thinking of going out for a stroll with Jiadeliya, but he immediately dismissed the idea.
[Reporting to the host! Gyarados has returned. This journey lasted 13 days, 17 hours, 54 minutes, and 37 seconds! It is currently waiting in the Minjiang River to meet the host!]
