Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 371 Flying Cloud City, Meloetta
[The Dojo Abandoned Monkey: It's already on its way to Unova.]

Li Xuan sent a message to N.

He soon received a reply from N.

[Nature's Black: Okay, I'll come see you in a couple of days. It's a bit inconvenient right now.]

When N's message came in, Li Xuan glanced at it, replied with an emoji, and then turned off his phone.

……

……

Have a safe journey.

As the plane landed smoothly at Feiyun International Airport, the setting sun had already gilded the runway.

Although the airport is located in the suburbs, it offers a panoramic view.

The steel forest of skyscrapers gleamed in the twilight, their glass curtain walls refracting the setting sun into millions of points of light.

Even from this distance, I can still feel the pulse of that city.

"We've arrived in the Unova region."

As Cattleya stepped off the plane, the warm breeze lifted her skirt, and the lily of the valley decoration in her hair tinkled softly.

As she gazed at the neon lights gradually illuminating the horizon, she experienced for the first time the vibrant energy of the Unova region, so different from that of the Sinnoh region.

"This is the Unova region, but... it feels like coming home."

Li Xuan stood in front of the terminal building.

This familiar yet unfamiliar bustling scene made him vaguely see the shadow of Golden City.

The same steel jungle, the same bustling traffic.

The two cities are like twins, Kanto and Unova, each embodying the most vibrant life force of their respective regions…

buzz~

In the distant harbor, cargo ships are sounding their horns and setting sail.

Li Xuan took out his free travel ticket and put it back in his pocket.

"Hello, are you Master Li Xuan?"

A soft, gentle voice came from beside me.

Li Xuan turned his head and saw a petite woman wearing round-framed glasses.

The woman was wearing a purple-black dress, her beautiful legs were covered in black, and she had short purple hair with bangs, with a bow tied at the back of her head.

The visitor is Wanlong, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the United States.

However, Wanlong seemed to have some social anxiety and kept looking around.

This novelist, known for her expertise in ghost-themed stories, was even more neurotic than her chandelier spirit at this moment.

Although Li Xuan's plane only had four people on board, planes from other regions still landed at Feiyun International Airport.

She was afraid of mistaking someone for someone else.

Besides, I'm a novelist, and what I fear most is being caught by fans.

It's fine if they're just regular fans.

If you're a former reader who was poisoned by the plot you wrote, you're absolutely bound to get a scolding...

Therefore, Wanlong's question was very weak.

It was so faint that only two people could hear it clearly.

"It's me. You must be King Wanlong."

"No, no... Ah, yes, yes!"

The two had only chatted online and had at most seen each other's appearance in their respective videos, so their first step was to confirm each other's identities by asking questions.

After the two confirmed their identities.

Li Xuan kicked Vio, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, over there.

"This is Vio, one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma. Let's check him out; he shouldn't be a fake."

"let me see……"

When it came to serious matters, Wanlong seemed to change completely, becoming serious and conducting a thorough search of Vio.

Look around here and there.

Finally, it was confirmed that this was indeed Vio. "Master Li Xuan, thank you for your tremendous contribution to the United States Alliance's fight against Team Plasma. The United States Alliance will fully reimburse you for the days you and your friends spent traveling in the Unova region."

Wanlong was extremely grateful to Li Xuan.

After all, the United League currently lacks a reasonable reason to take action against Team Plasma.

There is now.

Colluding with the Rockets is a serious crime!
If the previous plasma team was only suspected of pyramid schemes, they would at most be detained for a few days and then released.

Now that Vio has allied with the Rockets, the Plasma Team has a huge weakness!
This weakness will also be exploited by the United Alliance.

Of course, this does not mean resorting to direct force.

Instead, they found a media outlet to report on it and publicized the matter extensively.

When people hear this, they'll wonder, "How come your organization, which is supposed to liberate Pokémon, is actually working with those who sell Pokémon?"

It's probably a scam.

Now, let's see if the plasma team will reveal their true colors.

If they can really demonstrate it, then it will be time for their United Alliance to make their move.

For a moment, Wanlong wanted to tilt her head back and say: So, I made my move.

However, considering her public image, Wanlong did not do so.

She watched Li Xuan and the other two leave, then sent Crystal Lamp Spirit to take Vio on board and board the plane to the United Alliance.

……

……

Feiyun City, urban area.

Even after getting off the plane, you can feel the prosperity of this city from afar.

But seeing it up close gives you a completely different feeling.

Living in this metropolis filled with skyscrapers, Li Xuan felt somewhat "small".

Humanity's fear of giant objects gradually became apparent.

"This place is really big, even bigger than Veil City."

Gadriya looked up, but still couldn't see the tops of these skyscrapers.

The buildings are so close together that they look like they could topple over and collide at any moment.

Compared to the open skyline of Golden City, the dense sense of oppression here is simply suffocating.

Even the air smells of reinforced concrete.

Is this the heart of the Unova region?
So noisy, yet so...lonely.

"Freedom, yet not so freedom."

Walking on the streets of Feiyun City, watching the hurried pedestrians, Li Xuan had a new realization.

Then, he turned his gaze to Naz and asked, "Naz, how do you feel?"

After a moment of silence, Naz replied, "It's a bit different from what I expected. The propaganda is all about freedom, but I feel... oppressed here."

Are caged birds free?

Freedom, but only freedom within a cage.

This metaphor is quite apt for describing Feiyun City.

Aside from the wealthy, most residents of Feiyun City are actually busy white-collar workers.

People came and went, marching at breakneck speed.

"Let's stay here for one day and explore other places tomorrow."

Li Xuan shrugged; he hadn't expected Feiyun City to be so oppressive.

It's even more oppressive than Golden City.

It's fair to say that coming here as my first stop was a real blow to my confidence.

"Mio!" (You three, don't think the worst! Put your luggage away and come with me, I'll take you to a great place!)
Little Riolu suddenly poked its head out, put its hands on its hips, and wanted to lead Li Xuan and the other two to a certain place.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, leaned down, and asked, "So, where are you taking us?"

"Mio~" (You guys put your luggage away first, I can sense my friend's waveguide, I'll take you to see it later.)
"Who is your friend?"

"Mio~" (It's Meloetta~)
