Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 670: The Champion's Determination and Daigo's Money-Spending

The next morning.

Luo Mu was woken up by the messenger bird's alarm clock wake-up service.

Not to mention, this guy has been traveling alone for so long that his voice has undergone a "super evolution", and it's louder than the molten lava bird that crows on time every morning on the farm.

The bed in Daigo's guest room was comfortable to sleep on, and even in an unfamiliar environment, he slept soundly last night.

I was considering whether I should ask the housekeeper where he bought the bed, or whether I should just get one for my own home.

Luo Mu got up and knocked on the "turtle shell" on the bedside table, and found that Tailebagos was still sleeping in.

Looking up again, Victini was sleepwalking and flying to the ceiling.

Indeed, these two little guys contributed yesterday. One assisted the giant Dragonite to shock Kyogre awake, and the other one output the Taicrystal energy together with the Taicrystal Orb, achieving the achievement of turning Lugia into a star crystal and defeating Groudon head-on.

The kids are really exhausted.

The guest room in Daigo's house is incredibly spacious, almost like a delicate single-family house.

The entire floor-to-ceiling window leads to the courtyard, and the gauze curtains as thin as cicada wings sway in the wind, filtering the sunlight into tiny golden spots. The breeze, wrapped in the scent of grass and flowers, drifts into the house in waves, refreshing and pleasant.

Before the time travel, this defenseless design would have been a buffet for insects and small animals.

——But now, Luo Mu felt that even his breathing was comfortable.

It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly.

By the window, Nine-Tailed Fox was curled up lazily, its light blue hair coated with a layer of soft pale gold.

As the halo flows, it reveals a divine spirit that is not of this world.

Although the Nine-Tail prefers an icy and snowy environment, even Alola's Lanakila Mountains are not accompanied by blizzards and heavy clouds all year round.

On occasional days, there are always one or two beams of sunlight breaking through the clouds and shining on the towering peaks.

At that time, Alola's Ninetails and Vulpix would gather outside, enjoying the warm but not scorching sunshine.

Perhaps it was because of climbing Mount Lanakila when the snowstorm stopped that the Alola people of the past recognized the Nine-Tails, which they happened to see sunbathing, as the "incarnation of God."

Looking at the Nine-Tailed Fox, Luo Mu sighed from the bottom of his heart.

In terms of temperament and beauty, the evolved Nine-Tailed Fox really has it all.

I combed the fur of the Xenopus cat, put a new doll skin on Mimikyu, and confirmed with the flower therapy ring the status of the "eternal flower" it was taking care of.

Luo Mu used the towel that was wrung out of water and still steaming to "bathe" the elf egg that was also placed on the bedside.

After doing all this, Luo Mu's morning finally started normally.

——Although it’s time for lunch in two and a half hours.

Moltres slept in the Poké Ball last night, while Swampert, Poliwag, and Milotic slept in the artificial lake in Daigo's own manor.

Luo Mu prepared to go and pick them up first.

Before leaving, his eyes fell on the "mysterious crystal" lying quietly on the square table.

That's right, after careful consideration, he still took the "mysterious crystal" from Daigo last night.

The specific function is still unclear. After all, Luo Mu has no interest in cheating in non-emergency situations.

But he can guarantee based on his own feelings that this item, which Daigo calls the "mysterious crystal", must be the most special one in the collection room.

Luo Mu planned to wait until he returned to the Padilla area and then ask the Lotus Crown King if he could figure out anything.

Leaving Roentgen Cat and Ninetales to watch over the soundly sleeping Victini and Tailebagos, Luo Mu went out with the messenger bird and Mimikyu.

Originally, Luo Mu planned to go directly to the artificial lake.

But when he turned a corner, he ran into A'Du, who was neatly dressed, with no wrinkles on his clothes, and his straight and heroic face exuded a righteous spirit.

The other party seemed to have been waiting here for some time.

Before Luo Mu could speak, A'du said, "Are you awake? Can you chat with me for a few minutes?"

"Row."

Luo Mu blinked in confusion, but still readily accepted A'du's invitation.

Even though he was wondering why Adu, who said last night that he planned to leave early in the morning to return to the Kanto Alliance, was still here, there was still time to say a few words.

The two came to a large tree of unknown species in the courtyard, while the messenger bird and the mystery hill watched from afar.

Having rehearsed it several times in his mind, A'Du spoke directly to the point without any hesitation, "I heard... No, from those reports, we can see that you really did something crazy like that."

Luo Mu was stunned. Is he talking about the city of Larus?
Adu continued his output, "Rayquaza, the legendary dragon of Hoenn, the god who rules the sky, has become your defeated opponent."

"To be frank, when I first heard the news, I was shocked."

"Especially after actually fighting against that super ancient legendary elf, I am more certain of a fact."

"You are much stronger than me now, right?"

A'du looked at Luo Mu seriously, as if he had stayed until now specifically to get an "answer" from Luo Mu.

Sensing the fiery will hidden in Adu's body, Luo Mu did not respond with disrespectful words like "it's just luck".

After a few seconds of silence, he nodded gently: "Yes."

With the experienced king, Budcrown, ready to serve as a sparring partner at any time, the various crops on the farm also provide richer nutrition than before, plus his own support as a trainer.

Luo Mu knew clearly that during this year, the Roentgen cats had undergone another transformation.

Just like what Adu asked, Luo Mu already vaguely understood that he should have gradually become stronger than most champions.

And now, he admitted it himself.

Whether it is A'du in front of him, or Adek who has returned to the top, it is no exaggeration to say that facing them now, Luo Mu is confident of winning.

After receiving a response from Luo Mu, A'du finally relaxed after achieving his wish.

He smiled, and this time, his fighting spirit was stronger than ever before.

"Let's make a promise."

"Next, I will do my best to win the league championship in the Kanto region."

"After that—"

"See you at the Pokémon World Championships!"

"Huh?"

Luo Mu abruptly stopped responding to A'du's voice and looked at him in surprise.

No, what are you talking about?
But A'du did not give him the opportunity to further explain his current intention of not participating in the competition. He directly summoned Dragonite and flew into the sky without even planning to eat lunch.

Luo Mu stood there for a long time, his expression somewhat dazed.

What is going on?

Also, how did Adu know about the Pokémon World Championship?
Could it be that the Galar region has already contacted the Kanto region?

A'Du left in a swift and decisive manner, leaving Luo Mu alone in the wind.

He still didn't figure it out until he brought back Swampert, Frog, and Milotic and sat at the dining table at Daigo's house. So Adu was blocking him there just to "throw down some harsh words"?
I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out—

Perhaps because of the example of Adu, after lunch, I heard similar remarks from Daigo and Mikoli, saying that if I were full of fighting spirit, I would become stronger.

Luo Mu has been able to accept all this calmly.

All I can say is that the water fleet and the lava fleet are quite capable.

The Groudon and Kyogre they found successfully activated the fighting spirit of the three champions, Adu, Mikoli, and Daigo.

——Maybe we should add Nemo.

Luo Mu, who understood that feeling of powerlessness very well, was already looking forward to their changes in the future.

But forget about the Pokémon World Championship, he has no plans to participate for the time being.

In addition to "throwing harsh words" to show his fighting spirit, looking at the empty dining table, Luo Mu also learned from Daigo where those children had gone.

Early in the morning, Nemo and the other two, as well as Satoshi's three friends, almost all went to stay on the rocky mountain where Daigo's family lived.

It looked like he would not give up until he got a Pokémon away.

Seeing that Daigo didn't care how long they stayed on the rock mountain, Luo Mu still hardened his heart and reminded him, "The time for them to challenge the major competitions is approaching."

Hearing this, Daigo put down the teacup in his hand and made a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he nodded, "You're right."

Mikoli mentioned that the grand celebration of the Grand Tournament was very close, and Daigo also knew that the annual Saiyou League for the general public trainers in the Hoenn region would be held in more than half a month.

Although I don't mind them staying here to develop relationships with the Pokémon they like, I still have to try my best not to let them miss the competition that I have been traveling for so long and striving for.

"It seems that if they don't establish a connection with the Pokémon they want by tonight, I will have no choice but to cruelly issue an 'eviction order' and ask them to try again next time." Daigo said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, they tasted the tea that Daigo had picked from his father's collection cabinet.

Daigo took Luo Mu to visit the fossil resurrection device made by Dewen Company.

They were also airlifted here early in the morning, and the number of flying Pokémon and the scientists who followed them was not small.

Obviously it would be more convenient to go to the scene, but Daigo can do it as he pleases.

——The huge silver-white device full of futuristic technology is performing a miracle that is almost divine, extracting the genetic sequence from the "secret amber" selected by Xiaogang, and trying to revive the fossil Pokémon from it.

Xiaogang had been waiting nervously by the side.

The resurrection project lasted a whole day, until the stars turned upside down and night fell.

The resurrection is finally over.

In the transparent nutrient capsule, a Pokémon with light gray skin, like the two-legged flying dragon in the myth before Luo Mu traveled through time, or the pterosaur from the dinosaur era, was floating in the nutrient solution with its eyes closed.

Resurrection Success -

Xiaogang was very lucky. The secret amber he chose contained the genetic sequence of a fossil Pokémon called Pteranodon.

Even when the "Secret Amber" was put into the resurrection device, the conclusion was reached through the data.

But when Xiaogang really saw the fossil pterosaur appear in front of him, his excitement was still visible to the naked eye.

Looking at Xiaogang who excitedly pressed his face against the glass, Luo Mu smiled and shook his head.

Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to see the story between Xiaogang and the fossil pterosaur later.

But considering Xiaogang's personality, I think the story will be unexpectedly heartwarming.

At about eleven o'clock, Nemo, Xiaozhi and others returned to the manor, exhausted.

Xiaozhi's "protagonist halo" didn't seem to work this time, and Xiaoyao didn't encounter any suitable rock or steel Pokémon.

Nemo and Shizuka also returned empty-handed.

Unsurprisingly, most people gained nothing.

After all, a day is too short.

The only one who gained something was Shinji.

Looking at Jingjing who was suspended beside Shinji by magnetism, the iron dumbbell with the same calm feeling as the trainer in her red single eye.

Luo Mu blinked and reminded him mischievously: "The metal ore that iron dumbbells usually consume is very expensive."

A crack appeared in Shinji's calm and composed expression.

It has to be said that Luo Mu's words accurately hit his weakness.

It’s just like how he complained before about how Ash had captured so many Pokémon, wondering if he had a mine at home.

His family's financial situation was still somewhat dwarfed by his brother Lei Si's, who changed his career to become a breeder and opened a breeder house.

Shinji knows how much Xiaozhi's little Kiras eats. As a "late bloomer", he probably eats a lot too.

It seems that I have to consider finding more novice trainers and robbing their pocket money along the way.
Just when Shinji was about to extend his evil hands to the flowers of Hoenn, Daigo, the former champion of Hoenn, stepped forward without hesitation.

He smiled and stuffed a bunch of things into Shinji's hand.

"This is the training experience of Iron Dumbbell. This is a VIP card that gives you a 50% discount when buying ore and metal in the store under Devin Company. There is also a little money in it. Consider it my dowry to Iron Dumbbell. Oh no, it's the start-up capital."

At this moment, Daigo was smiling like a successful matchmaker.

He was right about Shinji; he and the iron dumbbells have a good compatibility.

But within one day, Iron Dumbbell actually fell in love with him and was willing to leave with him.

Regardless of Shinji's flattered expression, after giving out the coins, Daigo made a promise to Satoshi and the others.

The basic content was the same as what he had discussed with Luo Mu and Mikoli in the afternoon, so that they could focus on the competition in front of them.

After that, if you want to build a good relationship with the Pokémon in the rock mountain, you can contact him at any time.

It is a personal thank-you gift from Zfuchi Daigo, valid for life.

Another day passed and it was January 1th.

There are only a few days left until Orange College starts school after spring break.

After seeing off Nemo, Shinji, Shizuka, and Satoshi.

Luo Mu also formally proposed to Daigo and Mikoli that he wanted to leave.

The two of them understood Luo Mu very well and did not insist on keeping him.

They also knew that Lugia, who was also the biggest contributor, and the two giant Pokémon were still waiting for Luo Mu.

That afternoon, after having lunch with Daigo and Mikoli.

Starting from Green Ridge City, Luo Mu rode on Moltres all the way to the edge of the Hoenn Sea.

Here, Lugia, Giant Dragonite and Giant Poison Jellyfish have been waiting for a long time.

Luo Mu looked at the giant Dragonite first and asked curiously, "Are you saying that you want to take me to an island?"
