Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 630 The Wind Rises in Crown City (25)

"Lai, I take back all my previous words of praise for Sinnoh. I hate this place where you have to go up and down mountains at every turn."

Naqi sat on a relatively flat rock, gritted her teeth, and said she would never leave again.

Lai hesitated to speak: "Well Naqi, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Then don't tell me!" Knowing that Lai couldn't say anything nice, Naqi refused.

"That won't work, I still have to tell you." Lai grinned, "I'm sure I'll be happy. The last time we got off the back of the big-billed gull, we've walked about ten kilometers so far."

Naqi turned away, feeling embarrassed and angry: "I won't listen! Do you have any objections?!"

"How dare you have any objections? Why don't you let me carry you for a while?" Lai stepped forward and tried to pick up Na Qi.

"No, in public, what are you thinking?"

Hearing this, Na Qi blushed.

"How can you find a living person other than wild Pokémon and animals in a ten-kilometer radius in a large crowd?"

With a gentle exertion of force, Naqi, who was about to resist and welcome, was picked up. Her arms naturally hooked around Lai's neck, and she also adjusted her posture to a more comfortable angle.

"Okay, let's go!"

In the seemingly endless hilly area, Lai held Naqi and moved forward lightly.

······
"Well, it turns out you two have such a good relationship."

For some reason, Sirona, who bumped into the two of them while getting lost, said this.

The thin-skinned Naqi blushed with embarrassment and buried her head behind Lai like a camel without saying a word.

"The altitude of Sinnoh is relatively high and the terrain is relatively complex. It would be too hard for Naqi and me to keep walking together."

Lai was nonchalant and explained openly.

Sirona nodded with a smile, happy to see another side of the two comrades fighting side by side: "That's true, but you are really romantic and enviable."

After chatting for a while, Sirona took out a bag and a thick pile of materials from her space backpack and handed it to Lai.

"Since I met by chance, in order not to forget, I will give it to you first, Sinnoh's Chinese medicine research, and the medicinal materials of EMI. If you really research something interesting in that period of history, don't forget to tell me ah!"

"Thank you very much, Sirona. It's been a great help. If I gain anything, I won't hide anything." Lai solemnly took the materials and herbs and thanked her, "Do you want to go to Crown City with us? We are going to start from From there, go to Tianguan Mountain and help Nian Meilong find his hometown."

"Um"

The decision of whether to go to Random Town or Crown City deeply troubled Sirona.

This patient with severe difficulty in making choices, who usually has to think about it for a long time when buying an ice cream, once again fell into his own spiritual world.

The wind in the wilderness is a bit bleak.

Even Naqi quietly poked her head out, while Sirona was still holding her chin with one hand, thinking hard.

"Is she unable to make a choice?" Naqi leaned into Lai's ear and asked in a low voice.

Lai nodded: "Yes. Although I knew a little bit about it, I really didn't expect it to be so serious."

"Okay!" She gently clenched her fist and tapped her palm. Sirona finally made up her mind, "I will also go to Crown City with you!"

High in the sky, the sun moved a little.

······
With the addition of Sirona, it would be a bit inappropriate to use the walking method.

Riding on the big-billed gull, he flew leisurely in front of Liebiting Land Shark, maintaining a distance not too far or too close.

The distance of only one or two hundred kilometers before and after is nothing to the current big-billed gull.

Not long after, the three of them saw the iconic lake in Crown City.

This city is bounded by a branch of Tianguan Mountain to the west, a large lake to the south, and endless dense forests to the east and north. It can be said to be a pearl embedded in nature.

If you don't read historical materials, I'm afraid few people will believe that this place has experienced a devastating environmental blow.

The space-time disturbance caused by the broken Ripple of Time destroyed all the vegetation within tens of kilometers. Fortunately, it did not hurt life other than plants, and gave the local residents a chance to reshape the ecology.

It took more than ten years of hard work to restore this place to its original appearance.

In mid-air, Lai softly told Naqi the history of this place, making her nod.

"Why did the ripples break at that time?" She couldn't help but ask when she heard about the destruction of the environment.

"I don't have proof, but I know who it is," Lay said, staring at the downtown stadium.

"I already understand what you mean, who is it?" After spending so much time with Lai, Naqi knew that this was still due to his indescribable "knowledge from birth". "The boss of Kotai's online world, Clinks Kotai, is also the city's richest man and the organizer of the Pokémon World Cup."

"What are you talking about?" Sirona from behind also followed and asked curiously.

"Nothing, we are looking at the stadium below. Pokémon sports competitions are quite interesting, aren't they?" Rai pointed downwards and simply excused himself.

"It's indeed interesting. I also want to see what the scene will be like. Let's go down and take a walk around the city."

Sirona nodded with interest and directed the biting land shark and the big-billed gull to fly side by side, lowering the flight altitude together.

······
".The future is decreasing."

"Champion of Hoenn?!"

"Why would such a big shot come to a small place like ours?!"

In the office, Kotai was horrified, and the exquisite porcelain he loved so much was shattered on the floor.

Every future he could see contained a scenario where his head was missing or he became a prisoner.

"Gun, come in!"

Pressing the button, he braced himself and called his strongest and most loyal bodyguard, Gunn.

Not long after, Gunn, wearing a black suit, entered the office with a serious expression.

"Lord Kotai, three big shots are here."

As soon as he entered the door, he handed over the photos taken by the eyeliner spread all over the city.

"Champion of Hoenn, Rai."

"Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn, Naqi."

"And our Sinnoh candidate for Heavenly King, Sirona."

The scene of the three of them walking side by side on the street deeply hurt Kotai's heart.

His fists were clenched, and his finely manicured nails dug into his skin.

Threads of blood seeped out, but the person involved was completely unaware of it.

"Arrange our people in the city government to greet them with high standards."

"The media interviews the whole process, don't give them the opportunity to act alone."

"Give them VIP seats at the Pokémon World Cup."

"Directly arrange hotels and travel vehicles for them, and plan everything."

After a moment of silence, he proposed a countermeasure, item by item, which made Gunn's scalp tingle.

"Lord Kou Tai, are you taking it too seriously? The chairman's visit is just such a specification. Will the senior officials of the city government think that we have broken the rules?"

Gunn reminded him softly that although he was a bodyguard in name, he was actually Kotai's most important arm and knew all his secrets.

"It's up to you to think of a way, but what I said cannot be omitted. This is very important!"

Cotai rarely showed his confused side, which made Gunn feel heavy.

"is not it"

"Yes. And it's very dangerous."

"How about that? No matter how strong the trainer is, he is only a human being and is still very young. If he is a human being, he will die."

"Don't think about it for the time being, but hurry up and get rid of Joanna. What is certain is that this champion has a very close connection with the international police. If they are connected online, the situation will not be good."

"Yes, Master Kotai, leave it to me. I will take care of it myself and make sure it is done beautifully."

"Well, I'll leave it to you. I can rest assured that you can handle the matter."

"You must fulfill your mission."

······
The city is crowded with tourists.

Visitors who were originally attracted by the gimmick of the Pokémon World Cup were gradually moved by the beautiful scenery of Crown City.

Green shade, lakes, distant mountains, and natural scenery embrace this place from all directions.

With quaint folk houses and modern high-rise buildings, the old city and the new city are closely connected, and modern facilities provide support for the old and new neighborhoods.
