Chapter 636: Get stronger, young Kiras!
At sunset, the first day of the ranking battle against the castle came to an end.
The trainers who were granted the title walked together in the castle, still talking about it with great relish.
"Young Kiras' earthquake actually killed Gym Master Chaklo's Monster Jaw Dragon instantly!"
"After all, he is Mr. Lu's young Kiras..."
"Teacher Lu's ability can be seen from his training skills."
The afterglow cast a layer of gold on the battle castle, beautiful ripples appeared on the surface of the fountain, and maids walked through the corridor.
Lu Ye looked out over the courtyard from the second-floor balcony, recalling the culture of the Kalos region, and was not surprised.
The Pokémon world already has small kingdoms such as Ordron City and Midina, and King AZ is a household name in Carlos's picture book.
Gazing at the dancing petals of the flowers in the garden, Lu Ye was slightly lost in thought.
It is said that King AZ tried to use the ultimate weapon to call back his beloved lost flower Yeti, but the war caused by the ultimate weapon destroyed everything, and the resurrected flower Yeti left King AZ in disappointment, and King AZ was in great pain. Because of the radiation of the ultimate weapon, King AZ gained eternal life and could not die. He has been wandering since ancient times, and has fallen from a king to a homeless person on the streets of Kalos.
“What a romantic and sad story.”
Lu Ye and Gengar looked out at the castle garden together. Sylveon stretched out a ribbon and wrapped it around his arm, sharing the sadness at dusk.
There were footsteps coming from behind, and the butler Yikong, wearing a monocle, said respectfully:
"Marquis Lu Ye, may I ask if you would like to continue to participate in the ranking match tomorrow?"
Lu Ye calmed down and asked curiously, "How many days will the ranking battle last?"
"The ranking battle takes place once a month and lasts for three days. Tomorrow, other trainers will visit the battle castle."
The butler said: "You can stay in the castle temporarily. Everything has been arranged."
Lu Ye wanted to ask them how this battle castle made a profit.
I think with the visit of trainers at the level of champions and the Elite Four, there will naturally be no lack of benefits.
Lu Ye nodded and said, "I will still randomly match you tomorrow. Sorry for bothering you."
"I am extremely honored. I will arrange a challenger of the same rank for you." The butler bowed and said, "Someone will take you to your room. I will leave you now."
Led by a Victorian-style maid, Lu Ye settled in the room of the battle castle.
The interior decoration style fits the atmosphere of the battle castle.
Lu Ye lay down on the soft sofa and called Sirona.
After the call was connected, a soft and magnetic voice sounded from the other end, smiling:
"How was it against the Castle?"
"I'm not used to it." Lu Ye said, "But I won a promotion match for the time being."
"How many days will it take?"
"If everything goes well and I'm promoted to Duke, I'll head to the Unova region."
Lu Ye glanced at the young Kiras who was watching Togepi playing games and said, "One more thing."
"What's up?"
"Young Kiras is about to evolve."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Sirona said softly: "Whether it evolves or not, the bond with Pokémon will not change."
Lu Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "It's almost the same as what I said."
We chatted for a long time.
Sirona mentioned that Cattleya had been in a bad mood recently and her superpowers had almost gone out of control several times.
"Several game consoles exploded again." Shirona said with a headache.
"Heh." Lu Ye curled his lips and smiled.
It was just the howling of a golden-haired loser! After hanging up the phone, Lu Ye looked at the little Kiras, and his eyes met its own.
"Yo?" Young Kiras blinked blankly.
Lu Ye took out the immutable stone that he had prepared in advance and looked at Young Kiras seriously: "There is a decision that you need to make in person."
As if they had sensed Teacher Lu's serious expression, the room became quiet and the little ones looked over secretly.
"Whether I evolve or not, my attitude will not change. So, let me know more about your feelings, young Kiras."
"Yoji..." Young Kiras looked at Lu Ye's expression.
Although he was only a few months old, the young Kiras was very sensible and had an amazing record, including a single kill of Mega Eyes in his early years. (Food Chain Suppression) But that alone was not enough.
Young Kiras also wants to protect everyone more and grow into a reliable fighting force in the team.
"Yoji!" Young Kiras's eyes gradually became firm. He shook his head and took half a step back towards the Immutable Stone.
You must keep getting stronger, young Kiras! Lu Ye was slightly stunned, sensing the intention conveyed by the "Power of Overcoming", and felt a subtle mood.
I felt a chill down my spine, knowing that the risk of demolition had increased exponentially.
But he actually felt inexplicably happy! This might be because Little Kiras was thinking about himself and the little ones.
Despite the misunderstanding, no one needs it for protection.
However, young Kiras's starting point and strong wish still deeply moved Teacher Lu.
"Koujie~~(;Д`)" Gengar held a small handkerchief in his mouth, his eyes full of tears and a moving expression.
The younger generations have all grown up~ "Ga!! ()σ" Cong Youbing burst into tears.
As expected of the hatched baby, well done, baby Kiras! "Ka-me...ヾ(■_■)" Blastoise pushed up his sunglasses and looked at baby Kiras.
Although it can paralyze the opponent better in the initial stage, but... forget it, I respect your choice!
The Rotom Pokédex lights up with a 'tearful' expression.
"Beep beep...Long live understanding, Loto~o(TヘTo)"
"Buyi..."
Fairy Eevee's azure eyes flickered as he stared at the young Kiras who was eager to become stronger, as if he saw the Eevee under the meteor shower...
Seeing young Kiras made his own choice.
Lu Ye smiled slightly and said, "Good luck in tomorrow's game, Young Kiras."
Young Kiras nodded vigorously, his eyes stern, his aura as a quasi-god clearly evident.
"Yoji! (▼へ▼メ)"
** Carlos, battle against the castle.
As the dusk deepened, the reeds swayed in the distant wilderness, and a group of lambs crouched low.
Violet raised her SLR camera in excitement, and a figure suddenly appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. She looked up and was startled.
"Chaklo? What are you doing up there so high?!"
"Rock climbing," Chaklo replied in a steady voice without any protective gear.
Violet had a complicated look on her face and said, "I'm really impressed by you..."
As both are "earls" of the Battle Castle, Violet and Chaklo have fought each other several times and have a relatively good understanding of each other's tempers.
Logically speaking, rock climbing is not only Chaklo’s hobby, but also a warm-up for the battle.
"Isn't your ranking battle over?" Violet asked.
Chaklo jumped down from the wall, clapped his hands, and said helplessly: "Actually, it's another matter--"
He recounted the fact that he wanted to give the badge to Teacher Lu but had no idea how to do it, and said, "I don't have a proper reason to give the badge to Teacher Lu."
"In other words, if he were to challenge me to a full-scale battle in person, that would be terrible..."
Just one young Kiras was enough to shut out his two main players.
Although Chaklo did not understand the gap between himself and Teacher Lu in all-out combat, he was greatly shocked.
It would be better to just hand the badge to him than to be challenged by Pokémon or to be carried away by a scoreless opponent in a full-scale battle...
"That's about the situation." Chaklo sighed.
Violet thought for a moment and said, "I do have an idea."
"What?"
"Why don't you just express the badge to a coffee shop in Miare City?"
Violet said, "The coffee shop that Mr. Lu hasn't opened yet... has already gained some fame in Miare City."
"I see."
Chaklo suddenly realized, took out the "rock wall badge" in the shape of a "wall" from his arms, and said: "This is a good idea!"
…
Monday, June 28th.
The day after the qualifying battle.
Since it was a weekday, there were far fewer trainers in the castle than yesterday, but quite a few still arrived.
Among them, Corny has not yet left the castle.
Battle castle, cafeteria.
Korni tied her long blond hair into a ponytail and yawned with her hands covering her mouth:
"Morning, Master."
"Didn't sleep well?"
"Thinking about the battle with Miss Violet today, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night."
Korni sat down in front of Lu Ye and said.
"This is too exaggerated." Lu Ye said while drinking coffee.
"Not at all! It is said that powerful wave guides can use meditation instead of sleeping!"
Korni opened her eyes wide to understand, and you could see her serious expression and bloodshot in the whites of her eyes.
"This is the first time I've heard of this." Lu Ye said, "I'll give it a try when I get back."
Korni was stunned for a moment.
That’s right… Mr. Lu is also a Bodao messenger——
Trying to use her weak waveguide, Korni probed Teacher Lu in front of her, and her expression suddenly froze.
The gap is too big, it hits my confidence!
Cornelia chewed her bread gloomily.
Lu Ye said: "Can you let me see your Lucario?"
"Of course." Korni agreed readily, pressed the Poké Ball, and a beam of white light flew out immediately, revealing the outline of Lucario.
"Luca!" Lucario looked cold, like a loyal guard, with bright red eyes.
Lu Ye tried to use "Super Power" to sense, and said helplessly: "For a physical attack Lucario, there is no need to use meditation to increase the special attack effort value... Next time, try using "Fitness" and "Sharpening". "
“Eh?” Korni was stunned, realizing that her Lucario was indeed of a different style from her grandfather’s Lucario.
According to the master, maybe it really works...
While Korni was deep in thought, Lu Ye casually used a "Wave Force" on Lucario, who squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
Korni called out, "Lucario?"
"Luca!" Lucario's face suddenly tightened and he became serious again.
The waves originating from the tree that first created the world are pure and benevolent energies for most Pokémon.
As for the messenger who used the "power of wave", it is hard to say whether it is pure or not...
Lu Ye coughed lightly and asked, "Are there any other gym leaders coming today?"
I only got one badge the whole day yesterday.
Teacher Lu was secretly delighted.
It seems that there is no need to worry about Violet and Chaklo, the "Bug Badge" and the "Rock Wall Badge"! Korni thought for a moment and said, "Well... it seems that there is a museum owner who came from afar, Mr. Defu from Yingxue City."
In almost every generation, there is a town and gym covered in snow.
In the Kalos region, Yingxue City is a small town with perennial snowfall. The owner of the museum is the elderly but vigorous Mr. Defu.
Korni said respectfully, "Mr. Defu is the eighth gym leader of Carlos... He is a passionate trainer who is good at guiding newcomers and inspiring their strength!"
"Does he have a Blizzard King?" Lu Ye asked.
After receiving Korni's affirmative answer, Lu Ye suddenly understood.
This is the ice gym leader who uses Mega Snowbringer to fight against Satoshi's version of Greninja in the anime.
With a tough exterior and a soft heart, Defu is known as "hot and thick ice". Compared to Liu Bo's harsh and almost inhuman guidance, Defu is more favored by trainers.
Although the ice attribute has many weaknesses, it also has a very wide attack surface, making it a sharp double-edged sword.
"Since ancient times, ice has produced strong people." Lu Ye thought of Uncle Liu and Aunt Kona's "ice dolls" and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, Master."
Korni whispered, "Mr. Defu is also a Marquis. You and him may be a good match."
Lu Ye was slightly startled, and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter, just don't give me the "Iceberg Badge"..."
"How is that possible! Of course the gym leader will give out badges to trainers he favors. It's a tradition~" Kornie said with a smile.
Lu Ye: “…”
Lu Ye: "I remember now... Caidou entered the sect earlier than you, so you should call her Senior Sister."
Korni: ???
She’s my nemesis...I should call her Senior Sister?
Korni's cheeks flushed, and she didn't know what to feel for a moment.
A maid walked to Lu Ye's side and whispered, "Marquis Lu Ye, your random opponent is ready."
"Which trainer?"
"It's Mr. Defu from Yingxue City."
The dark ball on the side of his waist began to shake, and Lu Ye could feel the little guy's strong desire to fight.
I closed my eyes and recalled the little guy's resolute and cold eyes, which looked like those of a king.
Lu Ye nodded slightly and replied, "I'm ready too."
