Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 103 A person’s sky is too broad (23)

An hour later, the training ground of the trainer school.

"The Swampert has lost its fighting power, and the Tyrannosaurus wins!"

"All of Trainer Lai's Pokémon have lost their fighting power. The winner is Genji, the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Naqi, who acted as a temporary referee, announced the result of the battle.

Although all four Pokémon went all out, only Gnome defeated one of his second-tier team members, the level 58 Desert Dragonfly, in the first stage of the battle by relying on combination skills, attribute restraint, and Genji's carelessness.

After that, as Yuanji brought out the main force such as Tyrannosaurus, Double Ax Battle Dragon and another desert dragonfly, the immature Sticky Treasure and Marilu were unable to resist. In recent days, the Swamp Jumper who had won consecutive battles was also defeated by Tyrannosaurus alone. Crushed and defeated.

In the end, the score was fixed at 1:4. Genji, who was at the end of his peak, was more powerful than the original world storyline. All the main forces greatly exceeded the level 60 king limit and were in the top king category above level 65. The level 77 violent Feilong has even broken through the 70-level championship barrier. While entering a more advanced realm, he has taken a big step forward and is slightly better than many new regional champions.

As the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings in Fengyuan for many years, his strength is indeed extremely terrifying.

······
After the battle, Yuanji stepped forward and praised without hesitation:
"It's done well. It's growing very fast. I originally thought I could solve the battle with a few Pokémon I've trained in recent years, just like I taught Kagetuki a lesson."

"You and Huayue also fought against each other?"

"Well, last month, I was in Kaina. This guy was going to Zijin. He should be on his way to Yinyu City now. He's not bad either. Absolu is already impressive. There should be a place for him in the You Conference.”

"Well, he also said that he would come to me with the winners of the Caiyou Tournament."

"Hahaha! It's great to be ambitious!"

······
"I'm so happy to see that your strength hasn't declined. There's no need to send it away. I'll go back by myself!"

Rejecting Rai and Naki's request to see each other off, Genji summoned the Tyrannosaurus, gave Rai a few more instructions, and took off.

Watching the Tyrannosaurus go away, Naqi approached Lai, and the two returned to the training ground to clean up the mess.

On the way, Naqi spoke softly:
"King Genji really appreciates you."

"I don't know why, but Genji-dono has taken great care of me since the beginning of the reef island. It's also thanks to Niannibao that he helped me cover up. When I think about it carefully, I owe countless favors that I have to repay."

"Favors are the hardest to repay, and things without a price are the most expensive."

"Yes."

"Let's not talk about it for now. What's going on with Niannibao? You seem to have never told me about it."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the situation of Sticky Pokémon is rather special. It is not a Pokémon prepared for us by the alliance."

"It wasn't prepared by the Alliance? Then why is it there?"

"I don't know about that either. Anyway, by some combination of circumstances, we became destined to be together."

With that said, Lai released the sticky treasure, which climbed to Lai's head and greeted Naqi affectionately next to him.

Lai gently poked Niannian Bao with his finger and continued: "Moreover, there seems to be an extremely powerful energy in its body. The source of the energy is unclear and is not a known thing. But at present, it is beneficial and harmless. "

"If you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to its hometown to see it. Maybe you can find the answer." Naqi took another step closer and suggested.

Len nodded, "Well, if there is a chance."

A brief silence.

They stopped involuntarily.

Rai turned around and faced Nachi.

The distance between the two was less than half a meter.

In the past six months, Lai, who is in a period of rapid growth, has grown as tall as a jointed bamboo. The average height of his peers, who were just over 160cm, quickly exceeded 170cm.

At this moment, standing in front of the rather tall Naqi, he was already a little taller.

Hesitating slightly, Lai, who was always eloquent, was at a loss for words. After thinking about it, he just said:

"Naki, to be honest, I didn't expect you to come here."

Naqi, who had always been reserved in her speech, was extraordinarily forthright when facing Lai.She raised her head slightly and looked directly at Lai:
"So, what do you think about my coming?"

Feeling Naqi's soft yet firm gaze, looking at her pretty face that had left some traces of the many days of sleeping and dining in the open air, the soft part in Lai's heart was gently touched.

"I was surprised and happy, or in other words, I was surprised and moved."

Staring at the girl in front of him, he seemed to want to imprint everything in his heart.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Under Lena's somewhat scorching gaze, Naqi stepped forward instead of retreating, her cheeks turned slightly pink, and she took another half step forward.

On the empty training ground, the two people were almost touching each other, and they could feel each other's breathing that was not steady.

Stretching out his arms, slightly nervous and restrained, Lai hugged Naqi into his arms. "Well"

After a brief moment of panic, Naqi opened her hand, put her left arm gently on Lai's back, stretched her right arm upward, slid over the right side of Lai's shoulder, and hugged Lai.

"Thank you, Nachi, thank you"

With a slight exertion, feeling the gentle touch and temperature, Lai murmured.

"I know."

Patting her left hand lightly, Naqi's voice was gentler than ever before.

After a long time, the two separated and sat side by side on the side seats.

"You have lost weight. You have been suffering all the time, right?"

Looking at Naqi who was sitting quietly aside, Lai spoke to break the calm.

"You too. You must not have eaten well during this period."

Naqi turned her head and looked at each other.

After a moment, Naqi tilted her head back.

"But now that I'm here, you won't be able to deal with it anymore."

The sound is getting smaller and smaller.

"Well, I know."

He took Naqi's hand, put it on his own, and held it gently with both hands.

"It can be hard here, I."

"I know."

A calm voice interrupted Len's words.

"But it will be harder if you are alone."

"I feel guilty letting you suffer for my ideals."

"But I don't think it's a matter of suffering. Don't underestimate us forest folk."

"Naki."

Lai wanted to say something more, but Naqi took out her hand and covered his mouth.

"You in the forest that day saved me and changed me.

In the past, I thought you were very intelligent, very proud, even arrogant.

Gradually, I feel that you have greater pressure and burden than all of us.

I hope to know more about you and then understand you, so I changed myself.

Maybe I can't do anything, but I'm willing to try to do something with you.

The sky is too wide for only one person.

But if two people are together, it’s just right.

This is how the wind guides me.

So, Lay, what do you think? "

Hands hang down slightly.

Before it fell, he was caught.

"I was too forward-thinking."

"I'm sorry, Naki."

"Then, are you willing to accompany me on this journey?"

The ten fingers intertwined lightly.

"my pleasure."

Naqi's face was filled with a smile.
