Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 766 Do you like Grass-type Pokémon?

After realizing this fact, Luo Mu remained silent for a long time.

Was it my consistent, punctual harassment every day during this period that finally had an effect?

Or perhaps, despite Mewtwo's aloof demeanor, it's actually not only a tsundere but also a little glutton.

My favorite food is sweets, but I've never shown it.
For some reason, Luo Mu's mind conjured up an image of Mewtwo wagging its tail and happily licking its ice cream with its cat tongue.

A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he shivered involuntarily.

Isn't this right?
If that's true, then Mewtwo's lore will be ruined.

Although it is indeed a Pokémon artificially cloned from a human, with the genes of a kitten-like, dreamy eyelashes.

But she is not a delicate catgirl who is easily pushed over; on the contrary, she possesses the powerful ability to stir up the sea with her telekinesis, creating raging waves and gathering strong storms.

Moreover, although Mewtwo, the "rebel brother," is a genderless legendary Pokémon, it is clearly biased towards the male gender.

If we're really talking about catgirls, it has to be the Mewtwo from the Unova region that leans towards being female.

I don't know if that Mewtwo still exists, but it shouldn't be so bad as to follow in its predecessor's footsteps and launch a counterattack in the Unova region.

However, given that there's a "comeback guy" (a guy who makes a comeback), shouldn't this one be called a "comeback girl" (a woman who makes a comeback)?
Realizing that he was going off-topic, Luo Mu quickly shook his head, shaking off his distracting thoughts.

He then coughed lightly and replied to the Crescent King, "Cough cough, maybe so. Anyway, we can try feeding it more in the future."

"Alright, I'll take this child to absorb the moonlight."

The Crowned King smiled and nodded, waved at Luo Mu, and floated towards the door like a ghost.

As Luo Mu watched the Crowned Queen depart, the joy on his face gradually faded.

My persistent efforts have finally paid off, which is indeed something to be happy about.

Koromu wasn't naive enough to think that his mere act of feeding Mewtwo would win it over and boost its affection level.

What kind of Pokémon is Mewtwo?

The artificial god created by Team Rocket in order to obtain the strongest "weapon of war" had closed his heart for a period of time, trying to launch a counterattack, before being brought back to his senses by himself and Xeno'jiiva on Niijima.

After getting to know it, Luo Mu spent less than a week with it.

Is it possible to build a bond that makes Mewtwo bow down in worship with just a friendly punch?
Luo Mu isn't that narcissistic.

"In any case, there's still a long way to go."

With a soft sigh, Luo Mu focused his attention on the vibrating phone in his hand.

Zhu Lan sent a few more messages.

Cynthia: We're leaving. Although Guava's parents warmly invited us to stay and rest for the night before we left, neither the adventure that Delibird is looking forward to nor my own responsibility as the Sinnoh Champion can afford to delay any longer.

Zhu Lan: There's just one thing that bothers me a little.
Bamboo Orchid: As I got into the car on my way to the airport, I thought I heard the screams of that boy, Gua Shilang. The messenger bird heard them too.

Zhu Lan: What exactly happened? (Distressed.jpg)

Let's not even talk about Cynthia's need to head straight to the Sinnoh region.

After all, the reason is definitely not just Delibird. The Sinnoh region is probably quite "chaotic" right now, with Hunter J becoming active again and Team Galactic secretly plotting. As the League Champion, Cynthia can't be away for too long anyway.

When he saw the second half of the message, Luo Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft."

Okay, okay, so it's inconvenient to get angry in front of "outsiders," huh?

No sooner had Zhu Lan left than the parents of Fan Shi Lang couldn't wait for justice to descend from the heavens.

Judging from Zhu Lan's description of the "screams," it seems that Gua Shi Lang will be bedridden for the foreseeable future.

It would also be a good opportunity to temper his impulsive nature and allow him to reflect on the valuable knowledge that Zhu Lan had taught him while he was in bed.

Upon receiving this good news, Luo Mu was overjoyed and his mood brightened considerably.

His nimble fingers flew across the screen as he typed and sent a message to Zhu Lan with a smile.

Luo Mu: Would you like some ice cream? Please have some with the messenger bird.

Shortly after the message was sent, Zhu Lan's reply appeared on the vibrating phone.

Bamboo Orchid: ?
Bamboo Orchid: Ice Cream? (Confused.Jpg)

Bamboo Orchid: Messenger Bird and I are on our way to the airport.

Luo Mu: Wait, I'll show you a magic trick.

After sending the message, he asked Zhihui Xing to prepare several more servings of ice cream and desserts, and then activated the black ball to start the teleportation mode.

This time, the black ball didn't get stuck. The messenger bird quickly responded to the invitation, the platform unfolded, and with a burst of white light, everything that the gorilla had prepared disappeared.

As Luo Mu expected, a short while later, Zhu Lan sent a shocked emoji along with a message.

Bamboo Orchid: !!! !!!

Zhu Lan: Is that some kind of latest space technology?

Zhu Lan: Never mind, this should be a secret of the Padiya region, I won't ask any more questions.

Zhu Lan: Anyway, thank you for your hospitality, the ice cream was delicious.

Cynthia: Don't worry, I will definitely bring Delibird safely to the Sinnoh region and tell it that it can ask me for help anytime if it needs anything.

Luo Mu: Then I'll trouble you. See you in Baiyang Town.

Bamboo Orchid: Okay, I will also look forward to Alcremie's works.

After typing the last message, Luo Mu smiled as he looked at Zhu Lan's reply.

As expected, Zhu Lan also realized her intentions.

This feeding behavior is actually a disguised form of "bribery." Fortunately, Zhulan was quite susceptible to it and realized her intentions, so she offered to help the messenger bird whenever it had any trouble.

"In that case, safety should be guaranteed, right?"

Muttering something under his breath, Luo Mu turned off his phone.

Who is he doing all this for?
Isn't it still because they're worried about Delibird's safety in the Sinnoh region?

The Sinnoh region that Ash is currently traveling to is rife with hidden dangers and undercurrents.

Not only is Team Galactic causing trouble, but there are also three theatrical films looming over the future; the world could be drastically altered if we make even the slightest mistake.

Although there's a super-guaranteed Mewtwo, it's impossible to rely on Delibird to summon Mewtwo every time. In these situations, a powerful outsider in the Sinnoh region becomes crucial.

And Zhu Lan is undoubtedly the most valuable foreign aid.

Given her personality, she will most likely provide the messenger bird with a way to contact her, which would solve most of the ordinary problems.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu let out a breath and stopped thinking about what was happening there.

In short, these are the backup plans I can leave for the messenger bird. The rest is up to me to make thorough preparations before heading to Poplar Town.

He had a premonition.

Just like the time in Larousse City, there's a high probability that I'll arrive in Poplar Town a few days earlier, or exactly one or two days before the movie's plot unfolds.

Then, they will most likely get caught up in the plot.

Whether for self-preservation or something else, it's best to prepare early.

The next morning.

4 month 24 day.

Luo Mu was awakened by the wet licking sensation on his cheek. Upon opening his eyes, what filled most of his field of vision was, as expected, an Umbreon with jet-black fur and blue ring patterns shimmering on its body.

At this moment, Eevee's eyes were half-closed, clearly indicating that it was a little sleepy.

After all, it is now a nocturnal Pokémon, the complete opposite of Espeon, which sleeps and rests when the sun rises.

I only get up and move around after waking up from my afternoon nap.

Even so, it still fought off its sleepiness and woke up Luo Mu first.

Good morning, Umbreon.

After fussing a few times in bed and feeling the cool breeze blowing past him, Luo Mu groggily said good morning to it.

At the same time, it skillfully took the water bottle offered by Mimikyu from its shadow claws, said "thank you," and drank half of the bottle in one gulp.

This is basically the routine after being woken up by Umbreon.

Umbreon's sweat contains toxins, and its saliva also contains a small amount of toxins.

Although for most Pokémon, this dose of toxin is practically negligible.

But for Luo Mu, a pure, ordinary human being, these toxins still affected him.

So, in order to avoid upsetting Umbreon while also preventing himself from getting poisoned, Luo Mu finally came up with this plan.

The water in the bottle is "water of life" and "purifying water".

Balancing a mild energy recovery effect with powerful purification capabilities, this product is made by Tapu Fini.

After drinking it, not only will the toxins that seep into the pores with the saliva be swept away, but all kinds of thoughts will also be temporarily purified, allowing Luo Mu to enter a state similar to "sage mode".

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

After calming Umbreon, which was heading back to its den to sleep, Espeon, which had woken up on time, followed it back to its den and gave it a friendly kiss. Then, despite Serperior's cold gaze, Espeon invited it downstairs for breakfast.

Luo Mu then completed all the routines of getting up every morning, washed up, and went downstairs to prepare for breakfast.

On his way to the restaurant, he suddenly spotted the gorilla and a pair of mice, their backs to him as they busied themselves.

The pair of mice were still diligently cleaning the dust off the display case, using the two feather dusters that had almost become their special weapons, leaving no corner untouched.

Meanwhile, Zhihui Xing carefully held the "mysterious crystal," which was actually a "drop of heart water," and used his telekinesis to meticulously manipulate the handkerchief to wipe the surface of the crystal.

Good morning, Zhihui Xing, a pair of mice.

As usual, he greeted them with a good morning greeting. After receiving their response, Luo Mu stopped and carefully examined the display case in front of him.

Unlike the tableware used by Soap Milk Fairy to hold various desserts, and the cabinets displaying the treasure chests of the Money-Grubber.

This display case should be considered a storage place for Luo Mu's personal collection.

From the eight Padawan Gym Badges he collected when he first started his journey, to the Champion Trainer Certificate he obtained after passing the Champion Test, to the Z-Crystals and Z-Rings he collected from the Alola region, and the Heart Drop that Oranguru is wiping.

There are also various rare items collected during previous travels, as well as some harvests from running the farm.

Most of them are displayed here.

Luo Mu keeps items like the Z-Bracelet and Z-Crystal in this display case when he doesn't go out or need to battle.

However, it seems likely that I'll have to bring it along on this trip to Baiyang Town.

With a barely perceptible sigh, Luo Mu went straight to the restaurant and enjoyed a delicious and nutritious breakfast prepared by the Pokémon, who had gotten up even earlier than him.

I already had class yesterday, so there shouldn't be anything urgent today.

He had planned to spend the morning leisurely, then try harder at noon to go to the Pokémon Center in town for a medical lesson with Rin, and finally consider whether to continue spending the afternoon leisurely.

But unfortunately, trouble came knocking again.

Luo Mu sat down on the sofa, staring at Nemo who was mooching breakfast with dead fish eyes, and asked helplessly, "Didn't Ye Ci arrange anything for you? You still have time to come over so early in the morning?"

"Could it be that they're planning to have Pokémon battles again?"

Upon hearing Luo Mu's words, Nemo quickly swallowed the soft sandwich in her mouth, shook her head, and looked a little regretful.

"Although I really want to play against you, teacher, it's probably not possible today."

Luo Mu: "?"

Is there such a good thing?

Nemo had no idea what Luo Mu was thinking. After quickly swallowing the sandwich on her knife and fork, she took the towel that Zhihui Xing handed her, wiped her mouth, and took something out of her school uniform pocket and handed it to Luo Mu.

"The chief told me to give this to you, teacher. Even if she hadn't said anything, I would have come to you anyway."

Luo Mu took the thing Nemo handed him with a head full of questions, and found that it was an envelope that looked like an invitation.

Luo Mu looked up at Nemo and found her gazing at him expectantly. He immediately felt a strong urge not to separate them.

After all, this was something Ye Ci had asked Nemo to give to him, and it didn't seem like a good thing; it was more likely to cause trouble.
But this time, Luo Mu really misunderstood Ci.

After he opened the invitation and read through its contents, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Luo Mu subconsciously looked up and met Nemo's bright, sparkling eyes.

"The Pokémon World Championships, where top players from all the major leagues participate, is so cool!"

"Why didn't you tell me, teacher!"

"Today is my first match, you absolutely have to come and watch!"

Now the case is solved.

The reason Yeci sought out Nemo was to have Nemo participate in the "Pokémon World Championships".

Did this woman, seeing that he was unresponsive, turn her attention to Nemo?

Haki, you bastard!

But facing Nemona's expectant gaze, Luo Mu naturally couldn't bring himself to utter a word of refusal.

He replied helplessly, "Okay, I'll be there on time to watch the game."

Well, it looks like I won't be able to have a medical class today.

After giving out the invitation, Nemo, unusually, did not offer to fight Luo Mu, but instead jogged away.

Judging from her expression, she must be taking today's match very seriously.

I wonder what kind of opponent Ye Ci will arrange for her.

However, I was careless and didn't even notice that the Pokémon World Championships were about to be held in Brightlight City.

It was exactly 1 p.m.

Luo Mu arrived at the newly built battle arena in Niangguang City on time.

Looking at the magnificent battle facilities, Luo Mu thought to himself, "Qi Shu must be overjoyed now."

Besides hosting the Pokémon World Championships, this battle facility will most likely be used later to host challengers from the Brewlight Gym.

Because the invitation in Luo Mu's hand was clearly an internally circulated document, he did not enter the arena like the other spectators who were queuing up.

Instead, led by a young staff member, they arrived at the backstage lounge.

As the staff took their leave, the moment Luo Mu pushed open the door and entered, a gentle and warm female voice, with a graceful and generous feel, rang out in the lounge.

"By the way, Miss Nemo."

Do you like Grass-type Pokémon?
