Chapter 521 Cattleya: You'll regret this!
October 9th, Thursday.
The new video "Pokémon Legends: The Dragon of Ideals and Reality" has once again caused a sensation across the internet.
Perhaps because Professor Oak, who had been longing for it, was the first to share and comment on it, the video's popularity continues to rise even after two days.
However, compared to the ancient myths and legends in the video, the viewers who gradually came to their senses were more curious about one thing: what does it mean that the United Alliance has stopped?
Even the locals of Unova were utterly shocked by Aoba's words.
After all, while the cities of Unova are indeed quite fragmented normally, they lack any real cohesion beyond business connections.
But that's just a local area. If the alliance doesn't take charge, all sorts of troubles will inevitably arise!
This time, the threat posed by Team Plasma was ultimately neutralized by Teacher Yu, fortunately without causing too much damage to Twin Dragons City.
It was quickly suppressed.
But what about next time?
This world isn't just about the Plasma Team; all sorts of strange and unusual organizations also frequently make their presence felt.
For example, Pokémon hunters exist in large numbers in various regions, which is why there is an international police organization specifically to deal with them.
If the United States completely ignores the situation, the consequences are predictable.
For a moment, everyone in the Alliance began to wonder why Alder, who had once made a name for himself with Volcarona and was always dutiful, had suddenly disappeared.
Even if he's entangled in some thorny issue, at least leave behind the complete Four Heavenly Kings team!
Where have you been, Mr. Adek?
"Achoo—!"
Adeke, far away in the land of dragons, suddenly sneezed.
Did I catch a cold?
Why do I keep sneezing at strange times lately?
Forget it, forget it!
Looking at the little girl with dark skin and dark purple hair sitting next to him, Adek scratched his head.
"Alice, where was I?"
"Food preferences and training strategies for Dragon-type Pokémon —"
Alice yawned, looking a little bored.
"Why don't we just ask them directly? Even dragon Pokémon can't all have the same preferences."
"That's true, but—"
Adeker shook his head helplessly and closed the "Pokémon Advanced Education Guide" that was flipped to the center.
"Normal trainers can't sense the feelings of dragon Pokémon like you do."
"Besides, learning from other people's summaries isn't necessarily a bad thing, right?"
"Um!"
Alice nodded and patted her cheeks to dispel her drowsiness.
"If this is how you become strong and a 'champion,' then I want to learn!"
"Great, that's very energetic!"
Adek laughed heartily and bent down to search the ground for other textbooks that were more suitable for her.
At the same time, he was thinking to himself:
It's unbelievable that there's such an inconspicuous little place on the border of the Union.
Perhaps it is precisely because they live far from human habitation that they have gained the trust of the dragon Pokémon and are able to live with them.
The land of dragons is truly magical!
Of course, what's even more amazing is this seemingly unremarkable little girl in front of us.
When he first met Alice, Adek initially thought she was just a wild and energetic little head.
But after witnessing her ability to quell the rage of dragons and communicate seamlessly with dragon-type Pokémon, he immediately understood—
This kid might just be the best candidate to be the next Unova champion!
Unfortunately, Dragon Village is located in such a remote area that many people don't even know him, the Unova Champion.
Therefore, the other villagers did not agree to let them take Alice away.
Unless he proves that he truly has the ability, at least enough to become her teacher.
This is also the main reason why Adek will stay in Dragon Village for the time being, almost completely isolated from the outside world.
Judging by the time, he should have been in Dragon Village for a month and a half, right?
After a while, once Alice's growth has reassured the other villagers, I will be able to take her back to the Unova region and officially begin teaching her to become the future champion!
It's only been about three months. It shouldn't be such a coincidence that something big happened right when I left, right?
After thinking about it, Adek felt that the possibility was almost zero, so he stopped thinking about it.
Two months later, when I return to Unova, the new Elite Four should have already been chosen, and the major reshuffle in Unova will be completely over.
This old guy, whose fighting spirit has long been worn down and whose old companions have all left him, is about to retire!
Clearly, Adek had no idea what kind of public opinion would greet him upon his return.
The trivial matters of the Unova were handled by other responsible dojo masters, so Aoba, far away in Carlos, naturally had no time to attend to them.
After all, today was the day he would see Zhu Lan again.
Three days before the start of the competition, although time was a bit tight, Zhu Lan had official business to attend to, so Qing Yu completely understood.
After meeting at the airport in Miare, the two originally planned to wander around the area.
As the core city of the Carlos region, Miare has long been known as "the most vibrant place in the world" and is also a world-renowned art mecca.
Even if it's not about cultivating one's character, it's still nice to appreciate bamboo and orchids together!
Unfortunately, before the date could even begin, another "uninvited guest" appeared at the airport.
"Bamboo Orchid! Long time no see~"
To Qingyu's astonishment, a black luxury car suddenly stopped in front of them.
After the car window was rolled down, the golden-haired lady, Cattleya, smiled.
"And you—we haven't really seen each other for that long, have we?"
When she looked at Qingyu again, she still had a smile on her face, but her tone was clearly impatient.
Seeing that she seemed confident again, Qingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "So you're participating in the competition too. Shouldn't you be preparing for the Heavenly King assessment at this time?"
"And—who are your teammates? I've never heard Zhu Lan mention them before?"
"you----!"
After being instantly disarmed by Qingyu's words, Gadalia's complexion became noticeably rosier.
Having Zhu Lan as a teammate is amazing!
I have very reliable friends, and it's not like I absolutely need Zhu Lan!
Just wait, if we meet in the competition, Wanlong and I will definitely annihilate you without leaving a trace!
The more Gadria thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Soon, she silently pouted and looked at Qingyu and Zhulan beside her with resentful eyes.
"Okay, okay, why are we back to how things were before?!"
Zhu Lan's smile held a hint of helplessness as she took the initiative to ease the tension between the two.
She had thought their relationship would improve a little, but it didn't take long for them to go back to bickering.
They're not little kids anymore. What is there that they absolutely have to fight over?
And what exactly are they arguing about?
But it would have been better if Zhu Lan hadn't spoken; once she did, Jia Deliya felt even more aggrieved.
Because she suddenly realized that she had never won a single time since before?
You bastard, Zhu Lan, you biased jerk!
Just wait, you'll regret this!
I regret not choosing me as my teammate, and instead teaming up with Qingyu instead!
but-
Although she had said countless harsh words in her mind, Gadalia actually had no confidence, so she only dared to vent her anger in her heart with a flushed face.
In his strongest area of superpowers, he had already lost to Qingyu. Now, switching to the doubles arena where his opponent had clearly researched it more deeply, it seemed that the only way to win was to resort to unconventional tactics.
Recalling Qingyu's unique fighting style, Gadalia quickly made up her mind that it was just a battle of the underworld, and neither of them would be able to have a proper fight!
Come on, hurt each other!
Perhaps they sensed that Cattleya wasn't in a good mood, or perhaps they were simply distracted by the noise outside.
The car window behind Cattleya was quickly rolled down, and a literary-minded girl with purple bangs and glasses joined the fray.
"As expected, it's Teacher Yu's voice!"
The literary girl's attention was completely focused on Qingyu, and through her thick glasses, one could see that her eyes seemed to be sparkling.
"Teacher Yu, I'm your biggest fan!"
Her words instantly made the already somewhat awkward atmosphere even more strange.
"Hello?"
Qingyu scratched his head, seemingly surprised to run into a fellow fan here.
and----
Isn't that Wanlong?
One of the future Unova Four Heavenly Kings, a renowned novelist specializing in ghost-related themes.
Did Cattleya already know her?
It seems that Wanlong will be Gadriya's doubles teammate this time.
Qingyu nodded, and when she came to her senses, she quickly noticed that Wanlong had lowered her head again, and seemed to be writing something with her hand.
Without even looking, Wanlong was already muttering to herself.
"With a blue flame burning in his eyes, this man is determined to lead the world towards the only justice, defeating all powerful enemies, not even the gods—"
"The gods who were defeated by the man seemed to be awed by his power and willingly became his allies!"
"And that is precisely the reason to become a king!"
After finishing writing, Wanlong closed the small notebook she carried with her and nodded in satisfaction.
Then she realized that everyone else was looking at her strangely, so she smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry, it's an old writer's habit: I have to write down any inspiration I encounter in life immediately."
"Teacher Yu's look just now reminded me of a very interesting story; maybe I'll have a chance to publish it someday!"
[”

What on earth is all this?!
What kind of kingly power is this, with flames burning in his eyes? That's so cringeworthy!
Especially knowing that the other party seemed to have based the character on her, Qingyu felt so embarrassed she was practically dying of embarrassment; she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes.
I thought I was already being ridiculously immature, but I never expected there was another expert out there?
"That sounds like a very interesting story. If it's published in the future, could you send me a signed copy?"
"sure!"
Finally, Zhu Lan ended the conversation with great emotional intelligence.
When she looked at Qingyu again, there was a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"Keep it up, bro, you're going to be the king!"
Although Zhu Lan didn't speak, Qing Yu still understood the meaning behind it.
This made me feel even more embarrassed.
But their eye contact was a completely different matter in Cattleya's eyes—
Damn it, now they're flirting right in front of me, not even hiding it from me?!
Cattleya gritted her teeth and looked at Wanlong behind her, who was already immersed in the story in her mind, with a look of resentment in her eyes.
And you!
How could you betray me too?!
What's so good about Qingyu?
He just knows how to play a little Pokémon battles, his streams are pretty entertaining, and occasionally when he gets serious, he can even take on legendary Pokémon.
As she pondered, Cattleya fell silent again.
Oh no, it seems I really can't compare to these!
Aside from having some superpowers and the ability to count money, I seem to be inferior to Qingyu in every other aspect.
No, at least there's one advantage I still have!
Suddenly, Gadriya raised her head, her smile full of confidence—precisely because she had lost to Qingyu several times, she didn't have to bear any psychological burden!
On the contrary, if he loses to her even once, she will laugh at him for the rest of his life!
This is my psychological advantage!
When Gadriya looked at Qingyu again, her aggressive gaze made him subconsciously frown.
This subtle gesture further confirmed her suspicions!
Sure enough, I sense that Qingyu is a little afraid of me!
"Just you wait, Qingyu. This time, Wanlong and I will definitely beat you and Zhulan head-on in this competition!"
Suddenly, Gadriya pointed at Qingyu, and Zhulan was also mentioned by name.
After making those harsh remarks, she immediately rolled down the car window and urged those behind her, "Shi Lan, drive, let's go home!"
"Yes, miss—"
The castle butler, Shi Lan, spoke, coinciding with the sound of a car starting up.
Soon, the black sedan that Cattleya was in disappeared around the street corner.
Qingyu was left completely bewildered.
After a long pause, Zhu Lan finally spoke up and asked, "Have you made her angry again recently?"
"Why does it feel like she was issuing a challenge to us just now?"
"No, I didn't even meet her once when I went to Hezhong. Making a phone call shouldn't be illegal, right?"
'
Qingyu helplessly shrugged.
"However, although I don't know why Cattleya suddenly said that, at least the goal is clear now."
As she spoke, Qingyu's lips curled into a smile as she looked in the direction where Gadria had disappeared, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Now that we've been challenged, we need to prepare properly."
"If I really lose to Cattleya, she'll probably nag about it for the rest of her life, and I'll never be able to hold my head up high again when we meet!"
According to the schedule, if all goes well, they should face Gadriya and Wanlong in the third round of sixteen.
A combination of superpowers and ghostly attributes!
Qingyu narrowed her eyes, already having the answer in her heart.
The most suitable way to break this combination is, of course, to use the evil attribute.
Although he doesn't have a similar Pokémon in his team, if he wants to get one to counter them, wouldn't the Calamity Pokémon be the best choice?
Professor Oak had also mentioned wanting to observe the battle prowess of legendary Pokémon up close.
The opportunity has arrived!
