Chapter 633 Camping and Battle Castle
Sunday, June 27th.
Mr. Lu decided to set off for the Battle Castle on Route 7 and find a place to camp.
The clear stream gurgles and the water surface sparkles.
Lu Ye rolled up his trouser legs, picked up a pebble from the river bank, squinted his eyes and threw it out, causing it to float on the water.
"Chajiduyi~*(*)*"
Togepi stood by the river, eyes wide open with an incredible look on his face.
Lu Ye smiled and said, "You can also try it."
Little Kiras nodded seriously with a tense face, dived into the water, and his cheeks puffed up when he raised his head.
"Yoji! (￣～￣)"
Lu Ye: "...You didn't eat the pebbles, did you?"
The weather was cool and a light breeze ruffled the surface of the water.
"Buee!o(^｀)o"
Fairy Eevee held her head high with her pink ears swaying and the bow on her neck sticking out, looking disdainful of the child's tricks.
Windy ran happily along the river, his mane wet and his hair shining in the sun: "Woo!"
The arrow turtle retracted into its shell and lay on a bluestone in the middle of the stream, living in peace with the world.
"Koujie~" Geng Gui took out a simple tent from his pocket.
They created "shadow clones" and four or five purple little fat guys built tents together and prepared to camp.
After a moment.
Looking at the purple tent shaped like "Geng Gui's open mouth".
"Kou Jie~"
Geng Gui grinned, put his hands on his hips and nodded, and the "shadow clone" turned into white smoke and dissipated with a "bang".
"Very efficient." Lu Ye praised and rubbed Gengar's head.
The latter narrowed his eyes happily and stretched out his long tongue to suck on Teacher Lu's face.
Lu Ye shouted with a tingling tongue: "Yaya, there are wild cherry fruits on the shore, help me pick some!"
“Gah!”
The onion soldier stretched out his long green onion and fiddled with the fruit trees on the shore. A white butterfly pupa fell with the rustling sound.
"Meow~" The butterfly pupa narrowed its eyes in fear, and was carried back to the treetop by the Rotom Illustrated Book called by the Onion Soldier.
"Gah~~"
Cong Youbing's 'V'-shaped brows relaxed, he looked at the butterfly pupa and nodded with satisfaction.
Protecting the weak is also a chivalrous act.
After filling the inside of the shield with tree fruits, the Cong Youbing returned to the camp. At this time, Mr. Lu's "paralysis" state had been healed by his body.
"It looks like I can have a good meal at noon." Lu Ye stared at Cong Youbing and the fruit in his arms and said.
The onion soldiers shuddered with fear, and the fruits rolled to the ground.
"Gah! ()σ"
Don't eat duck, duck is not delicious at all~ The simple stove built with stones, the firewood makes a small "crackling" sound.
The pot and grill also come with it, and are placed in Gengar's 'storage space', which has plenty of capacity.
Teacher Lu cooked Galar's specialty curry rice, which was made from coarsely ground sausage mixed with spicy cherry berries.
While stirring the cauldron that was emitting white mist and fragrance, Lu Ye said casually:
“Do you know what is the most important point to increase the rating of curry rice?”
"What?" Gengar scratched his head.
"It's about adding a lot of love."
As he spoke, he added a little bit of [Golden Cranberry] juice.
Lu Ye poured the fragrant and mellow soup on the golden curry rice, and placed the sizzling black pepper sausages on it, as if he was making a "Golden Legend" level dish, and took off his apron in a cool manner.
"Charizard-level, spicy sausage curry rice, please!"
The little ones all exclaimed in unison.
Blastoise barely controlled his appetite, pushed up his sunglasses, stared at the curry rice, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ka-me..."
I've tested it with waveguide... there's no toxin here!
In the camp, the little guys were busy eating, and Gengar tilted his head back and poured the curry rice into his mouth.
"Koujie~(￣～￣)"
Lu Ye glanced at Geng Gui, scooped up a spoonful of steaming curry rice, and murmured:
"Ghost-type is not afraid of heat, this ability is too practical..."
The sun was slanting, it was almost noon.
Lu Ye lay in the open mouth of the "Geng Gui Tent" and looked down at the gold-plated invitation in his hand.
[Gold Invitation Letter: The invitation letter is provided by the Hall of Fame members. The invitee will be granted the title of "Count/Countess" in the Battle Castle and can make an appointment to advance to the next level. ]
Staring at the invitation.
In Lu Ye's mind, there appeared a scene where Sirona handed it to him with a smile.
Shirona crossed her arms and pointed a finger, saying, "Considering that there are many rookie trainers with the title of "Baron" in the Battle Castle, it would be too much of a bully to let you start from scratch."
Lu Ye: "It doesn't matter if you're new or not, I just want to start from scratch!"
Sirona rolled her eyes and continued, "So, I asked Caroline for a top-level invitation letter so that I can make an appointment for the Marquis' promotion challenge on Sunday."
The Battle Castle is the battle facility of the sixth generation Carlos.
The system of nobility, namely "Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron", is adopted to promote traditional battles that emphasize etiquette and are similar to duels.
In the Kalos region, this castle is well-known. The owner of the hall, the four kings, and even the champion Karuna are all guests.
Karuna possesses the unique title of "Grand Duchess" and is a member of the Hall of Fame of this battle castle.
"Have you ever challenged the battle castle?" Lu Ye asked.
"I have participated." Sirona shrugged and said, "However, I don't come to the Kalos region often. I mostly participate in the Sinnoh Champions League."
Lu Ye nodded.
No wonder Daye, A Liu and others are so afraid of Shirona.
It must be because he was killed by the Land Shark too many times in the Champions League.
"For each title, you can receive the corresponding reward."
Sirona frowned slightly and said, "As for the Mega Stone you mentioned, I'm afraid you need at least the title of Duke."
"Duke...what level of trainer is he?"
"Carlos's steel king, Mr. Yan Kai, is the Duke. You can refer to him."
After hearing this, Lu Ye roughly understood.
Yan Kai is a trainer full of chivalry. He usually wears medieval heavy armor and is keen on fair duels.
Hot-blooded fighting tough guys like Chi and Xiba fit Yan Kai's standards.
As for an old bastard like me (crossed out)...a fighting party, I'm afraid it will arouse his desire to fight twice as much.
“It’s obvious that the holy light is the dirtiest.” Lu Ye thought to himself.
The memories end here.
Shirona has returned to the Ripple Town villa in Unova, preparing to participate in the World Championship Youth Cup with Lu Ye at the beginning of the month.
Lu Ye was lying in the tent, resting his head on his arms, using the 'Geng Gui Tongue' in the tent as a blanket.
When the sun shines in, you can hear the gurgling of the stream and the chirping of the little sparrows.
Lu Ye's heart moved, he stood up and walked out of the tent, pulled out the retractable [Super Fishing Rod], and walked towards the river.
"There's no way I'll be able to fly today!"
Mr. Lu is fishing——
A very powerful wild Magikarp jumped out! Lu Ye cursed, "You haven't evolved into a Gyarados at level 40, and you are just staying in a small pond as a Magikarp!"
The sturdy carp king glanced at Lu Ye, splashed water, flapped its tail, broke free from the hook, and dived back to the bottom of the river without giving any face.
Lu Ye: “…”
Looking around, Lu Ye picked up a waterweed called [Waterside Herb] and nodded with satisfaction:
"This stuff can be used as a spice... Today is another fruitful day!"
** Fairy Eevee lazily stretches her front legs, with an elegant and lovely figure, located at the golden section point of the foreground. The depth of field is the fruit-laden bushes and the shining river.
Click!
The camera flash lights up.
Fairy Eevee's eyes suddenly became stern, and he bared his little fangs. His bow gathered a dark and violent shadow ball, ready for the battle.
"Bu-yi! (`皿)"
Lu Ye heard the voice and looked over, and was stunned for a moment.
Did Xiao Luo make Sylveon angry? No... This is not Rotom's camera.
Seeing a figure walking out, Lu Ye shouted:
"Wait a minute, Sylveon!"
The shadow ball at the bow gradually dissipated.
The woman holding the SLR camera breathed a sigh of relief.
She was about 24 years old, with short silver-gray hair, and wore a light short-sleeved shirt and overalls. In addition to the handheld SLR, she also had a digital camera hanging on her waist.
“Sorry…found a beautiful composition and took a photo without permission.”
The man introduced himself: "I have no ill intentions. I am the owner of the White Sandalwood Gym, Violet. I can show you the photos I just took. It's okay if you delete them!"
"Bai Dan Gym?"
"That's right." Violet held the SLR in both hands and smiled, "I am a bug-type trainer and also a photographer."
Lu Ye nodded, indeed he had some impression.
Carlos's insect museum owner, Violet. His sideline is as a professional photographer and he has held photography exhibitions. He has a straightforward and cheerful personality.
"She must be really good at playing Pokémon Snap." Lu Ye thought to himself.
"Koujie~" Geng Gui stood beside Lu Ye.
"This Gengar is bred very well, very well! Can I look at the camera?" Violet half-closed her eyes and picked up the camera.
"Koujie~(ω<)☆" Gengar made a scissors hand gesture next to his eyes.
“So cute~”
Violet was like a professional photographer who had discovered precious material. She kept pressing the shutter and observing other Pokémon with the lens.
"There are also the handsome Onion Ranger and Carlos's rare Togepi~"
"Wait a minute, this lineup configuration."
Violet slowly put down the camera, looked at Lu Ye, and asked cautiously, "Are you Teacher Lu?"
Lu Ye: "Is my Pokémon more famous than me?"
Violet smiled and said, "Sorry... I was just observing the Pokémon. Your Pokémon is so photogenic."
"Also..." Violet looked at Lu Ye carefully and said admiringly, "You are also a very good model!"
"Thank you." Lu Ye nodded politely and asked curiously, "Can you show me the photos you just took?"
Violet said happily, "Of course."
She unfolded the screen of her SLR camera and pointed at the photos on the screen, listing them one by one: "This close-up of Gengar has a large aperture, and his expression is quite vivid; this photo of Sylveon has a landscape bonus, and it can even be put on a photography exhibition..."
Violet observed Lu Ye's expression and said:
"If you don't like it, I can delete it now without backing up and restoring it."
Taking candid photos is a necessary task for photographers, but how to communicate with the people being photographed is also a science.
"Buee..." Fairy Eevee came over and stared at the bright photo, its blue eyes blinking.
Although the little guy is a little violent, he also loves beauty.
Lu Ye smiled and said, "No need to delete them. Can you give me a copy of these photos?"
Violet said, "Of course, I'll send it to you now... and I'll frame the photo and send you a copy later."
Xiao Luo received the transmitted photo and muttered:
"My photos aren't much different, Loto~"
After the episode, Lu Ye learned that——
Violet came to the river to collect inspiration and also participated in the "Marquis" promotion match against the castle.
After hearing about Teacher Lu's schedule, Violet pursed her lips and said:
"That means... I'm likely to be a match for you?"
Lu Ye said: "Don't worry, I only use young Kiras... probably."
"Yoji! (▼へ▼メ)" Young Kiras nodded seriously.
Violet looked at the aggressive young Kiras with mixed feelings.
I give up now...is it too late?
"After you leave the battle castle, will you go to the White Sandalwood Gym to challenge?" Violet asked tentatively.
The urban legend that spread among gym masters—
Not only Kanto and Sinnoh...even the gym leaders in Kalos have heard of it!
Instead of being beaten up by Pokémon, it’s better to just give the badge away, which seems more refreshing.
This is exactly what Violet thought.
"Won't."
Lu Ye paused, looked at Violet warily, and said, "You don't have to take out the badge and give it directly to me or to Geng Gui."
Violet nodded in understanding.
It was probably because Teacher Lu did not bring his badge box with him, or he was worried about losing it.
"Then I'll just wait until the photo frame is delivered and give the badge to Teacher Lu as well," Violet thought.
** Since it was on the way and Violet was familiar with the battle castle, she served as our guide.
Walking on the high ground with swaying silvergrass, Violet picked up her SLR and took a photo of the lambs grazing on the grass below. She smiled and said, "These lambs are Carlos' representative Pokémon."
Lu Ye stared at the cute little goat.
The growth of Rocket Logistics... cannot be achieved without your contribution.
Groups of pastel discs, in different shades, present a riot of colour flying in the wind.
Violet said as she took the photos: "You may not believe this, Mr. Lu, but I have captured all 20 different types of pastel butterflies!"
No wonder Violet is called an insect expert.
Lu Ye thought of the 63 different kinds of Frost Milk Fairies and said, "Have you ever considered conquering all of them and becoming a dessert expert?"
Violet: “Huh?”
While chatting, a towering white stone castle appeared before our eyes, standing in the middle of a manor surrounded by green trees.
Since today is the knighthood promotion match, many spectators, challengers and even gym owners came.
Lu Ye was in mixed emotions as he stared at the progress of the tasks in the system.
【Badge Collection: (1/8)】
To me...this battle castle is full of dangers!
Pass through the garden in front of the castle, the manor fountain, and the red carpet with marble tiles to reach the main entrance of the castle.
The elderly butler wearing a monocle bowed politely, put his hand on his chest and said, "Count Violet, it is an honor to serve you."
"Mr. Yikong, long time no see." Violet smiled slightly, "I came back to participate in today's ranking battle against the castle."
"Understood." The butler said respectfully: "I will arrange a suitable opponent for you. The gentleman behind you is..."
"Ah, Teacher Lu, is this your first time in the Battle Castle?" Violet asked, turning around.
Lu Ye nodded.
The butler said politely, "In that case... Sir, do you need me to arrange a debut match for you? If you win the debut match, you will be awarded the title of "Baron" and can challenge more advanced trainers."
Lu Ye handed the golden invitation letter to the butler and said, "If possible, I would like to know about the reward of Mega Stone."
"certainly."
The butler showed just the right amount of surprise, reviewed the invitation, and said with a smile:
"Count Luye, Count Violet, please follow me to the hall and wait for a moment."
Led by the butler, the two walked towards the side hall, and Violet whispered:
"Teacher Lu, are you planning on a random match or a named challenge?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Random matching means that Mr. Yikong will arrange a challenger of the same rank for you. As for the named challenge, it is similar to the duel in the Middle Ages. Most challenged people will not refuse the challenge, but the challenger will also run the risk of being demoted."
Violet said, "If you want to get the Mega Stone... I'm afraid you'll need a higher rank."
Lu Ye nodded.
Above the Earl is the Marquis and the Duke. It seems that at least two or three wins are needed.
The lobby is a room where trainers can exchange information and choose challengers of the same rank.
"Well, I'll excuse myself for a moment. I'll tell you the details of exchanging Mega Stones later." said the butler.
Lu Ye nodded and said, "It's troublesome."
The hall is decorated in a luxurious and restrained style, with marble columns standing inside and the sound of cello wafting in from the distance.
When Lu Ye and Violet walked into the hall, everyone's eyes converged on them and some trainers were slightly startled.
"Teacher Lu?"
"Oops... I shouldn't have chosen today to come and challenge you."
"There's nothing I can do... If we find a match, I'll just go for it."
The trainers present wisely did not challenge Lu Ye to a battle.
Lu Ye looked around the interior furnishings and was stunned to find a man climbing a marble column.
Climb, climb the marble column?! Lu Ye took a closer look.
He was a dark-skinned, sturdy man. He grabbed the upper edge of the marble column with one arm, used the force to swing, and climbed up to the beam of the hall.
The others ignored him and continued talking to themselves.
"That's the Rock Gym Leader, Chaklo."
Violet held her forehead and said helplessly: "He is a man who will start rock climbing no matter when and where."
Lu Ye: "Anytime and anywhere?"
Violet said helplessly, "It is said that he will also do gym challenges while rock climbing."
Lu Ye: “…”
The Shimada family definitely needs someone like you! The sound of roller skating -
There are still people roller skating indoors.
The girl with a yellow ponytail, wearing roller skating protective gear, came over happily and waved:
"Master, long time no see!!"
Lu Ye came back to his senses and smiled:
"Long time no see, Kornie."
