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

Chapter 394 Do you have any ideas about training legendary Pokémon? Hmm? You can ask me if you have any questions.

"Long time no see, Mewtwo."

Although Mewtwo currently takes on a human form, its aura remains unchanged.

In other words, no matter what form Mewtwo takes, it's all the same to Li Xuan.

At that moment, Li Xuan and Mewtwo faced each other and directly revealed each other's names, causing the latter to frown.

"Li Xuan... why are you still staying in the Unova region?"

Mewtwo didn't understand why Li Xuan would stay in Unova, since it was said that he only had a week to stay.
Furthermore, wasn't Li Xuan supposed to be visiting the Unova region? Why would he come to Liberty Garden Island to participate in a competition he himself is hosting?
Could it be that he's trying to ambush himself?
Mewtwo thinks this is very likely.

"Why can't I stay in the Unova region? After you finish dealing with this Free Garden Island matter, I still have to accompany Cattleya to become one of the Unova Elite Four."

Li Xuan waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.

Besides accompanying Cattleya, after she takes over as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he also needs to go to Riku City to pick up Natsumi and bring her back to the Kanto region.

Thinking about it this way, there really is a lot to do.

"So, you're saying that your so-called strongest trainer tournament is only for trainers from the Unova region? Doesn't that mean... it's just a pure stomp on weak trainers?"

Li Xuan scratched the back of his head and spoke frankly.

To put it bluntly, even now, Alder could be easily defeated by trainers like N who haven't received systematic training.

As for the other four Heavenly Kings, even if you add them in, they wouldn't be enough to fill a gap in Czechoslovakia's teeth.

In this situation, if Mewtwo were to hold such a competition in the Unova region without any outsiders, it would definitely be a one-sided massacre of weaker opponents.

Of course, Li Xuan knew that this was not actually the case.

Mewtwo even invited Leon, the undefeated emperor of the Galar region...

His master, Master Ma.

With a top-tier champion trainer like him, the award still has some merit.

but.

There is no Dynamax energy here, so given Mash's preferred fighting style, it would be very difficult for him to Dynamax.

Therefore, Masde's actual ability to exert his full potential is actually quite limited.

Perhaps, it's just at the level of an ordinary champion.

“Li Xuan, don’t be fooled by the fact that this competition is being held in a place like this. Most of the trainers who can come here are incredibly strong. This time, I even invited the Unova region champion, the Elite Four, and even the former Galar region champion, Mash.

"And I, Mewtwo! Will stand out from this group, defeating them one by one... no, I should say I'll defeat them all in one go!"

Mewtwo spread its arms wide, appearing unusually excited.

It had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time.

The original plan was to hold this event in the Kanto region.

As a result, there are just too many overpowered trainers in the Kanto region.

It seems that even if I were to go forward myself, I probably wouldn't be confident of defeating them.

Therefore, Mewtwo focused its attention on the Unova region.

Although their strength is slightly lacking, they still possess champion-level combat power.

Moreover, there's Masted, who's skilled in combat, so isn't that a stroke of luck?

"The first step to a comeback is to start small. After I finish this tournament in the Unova region, I'll host it in the Kalos region. Next will be the Hoenn region, the Sinnoh region, the Kalos region, and finally the Kanto region!"

Take each step of the journey to achieve your dreams.

After hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but interrupt the other person: "I have a question. What about the Johto region and the Alola region?"

"The Johto and Kanto regions share an alliance, so they're not included. And the Alola region... what kind of backwater is that?"

Mewtwo doesn't know anything about Alola.

I thought it was some remote mountain valley.

"It's nothing, it's just that Alola is quite suitable as your first battle."

"how do I say this?"

This was the first time Mewtwo had heard of the Alola region, and it had no idea what powerful figures were in that region.

Li Xuan offered advice from Mewtwo's perspective: "You want to grow from small to big. Although the Unova region is currently the weakest region, there are actually even weaker ones, such as the Alola region."

"There is no Pokémon League in the Alola region, but the strongest Pokémon there are at the level of a Champion. If you choose Alola as your first stop and then come to the Unova region, it will actually be much better."

"I see... I was careless."

Mewtwo also had the idea of ​​going to the Alola region to see for itself.

But they have already arrived in the Unova region.

Never mind, I'll just think about it.

"So, you're here to participate in the competition too?"

Mewtwo squinted its eyes.

Among its superpowers.

It was clear that Li Xuan's strength was now vastly different from what it used to be.

If I were to say that I could easily defeat Li Xuan's Pokémon in the past...

Now, it has become extremely difficult for me to defeat my opponent.

Even among the Pokémon Li Xuan carried, there was one that had a chance to defeat him...

"A legendary Pokémon from the Unova region? A legendary Pokémon?"

Mewtwo has been enjoying surfing the internet lately, so it's naturally aware of how netizens categorize Legendary Pokémon.

First-level god, second-level god, mythical beast.

The first two are legendary Pokémon, with the legendary Pokémon being much stronger than the legendary ones. Representative Pokémon include Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, and Dialga.

And what about the second-level gods?
Their strength is still somewhat lacking.

For example, Articuno and Zapdos, which Li Xuan captured, are level two legendary creatures, and some of them are quite weak.

Mythical Pokémon are mythical Pokémon.

The upper and lower limits are extremely high and extremely low. There are strong ones like Dream, and weak ones like the commoner Phiona from the Vast Ocean.

It belongs to the category of conceptual gods.

Among them, Reshiram is a Tier 1 god.

Most legendary characters are at least strong champions, which makes it difficult for Mewtwo, who only has the strength of an average champion, to fight.

Mewtwo never expected that Li Xuan's trip to the Unova region would allow him to capture a local legendary being. If they were to fight him later, Mewtwo would probably be in grave danger.

"Who exactly did that Three-Headed Dragon invite...? Is he really about as strong as me, or even weaker than me...?"

Mewtwo has a lot to say, why did they have to invite Li Xuan of all people?

Hmm, let's deduct the three-headed dragon's salary.

Mewtwo felt that Hydreigon was the culprit, so it decided to deduct his salary directly.

Although there wasn't much to begin with.

After deciding to deduct his wages, Mewtwo looked at Li Xuan again, scrutinizing him for a few moments before teleporting away.

"Speaking of which, I remember N was also invited, where is he?"

Li Xuan thought N had disappeared.

The other party was his good brother, and now he has disappeared without a trace.

but……

It seems that N separated from me when we were at Feiyun Port.

Surely I haven't gotten lost...

……

……

Meanwhile, on N's side...

Zekrom's dragon wings cast a huge shadow on the sea. N leaned down and looked at the Water-type Pokémon peeking out from the shimmering water: "Hello, does anyone know the location of Liberty Garden Island?"

"Mambo!" (I know, I know, please follow me!)

Upon hearing this, a group of nannies, Mambo, excitedly began to gesture.

"Brave Fish!" (I know too!)
The leading, courageous bass even slapped the water with its fins to signal that it would follow.

"Alright, thank you for your help!"

N eagerly lowered the altitude of the Czechoslovakian Stream and followed them into the rapids.

Two hours later, the neon lights of Feiyun Port came into view.

N looked at the glowing sign on the dock that read "Welcome to Feiyun City" and rubbed his temples helplessly.

Those overly enthusiastic Pokémon mistook "Free Garden Island" for "Flying Cloud City Port," and led him across most of the Unova Sea...

In fact.

As the private domain of the wealthy, Liberty Garden Island is completely unknown to ordinary Pokémon.

These Pokémon, who have lived in the sea for many years, probably already regard the brightly lit night view of Flying Cloud City as the epitome of a "sea island".

So when N asked, they volunteered to bring N here.

Czechrom's tail thorns flickered, a breath pressing on its chest that it longed to expel.

Watching the nanny mambo and the warrior bass still strutting around proudly, as if showing off that they had led the way correctly.

N couldn't help but chuckle, gently stroking Zekrom's neck: "It's alright, they just... take the most bustling harbor as the standard answer for all islands."

Feiyun City at dusk was indeed as beautiful as a dream, with the sunset reflected in the glass curtain walls, and the cruise ships looking like shining jewels.

It's no wonder that these simple-minded ocean dwellers would be convinced that such a dazzling place must be the "Free Garden Island" that trainers are looking for.

A buzzing sound emanated from the black tail of the Zekrom, with flashes of azure lightning within it.

Its dragon eyes revealed a human-like helplessness.

It turned its head to meet N's gaze, as if asking, "What should we do now?"

As long as the path it points to is somewhat normal, Zekrom can use its special ability to sense the Pokémon on the island.

But on the contrary, wouldn't that mean I'd have to fly again?!

Thinking about this, Czechrom found it somewhat amusing.

N smiled and patted his partner's scales, his green hair fluttering in the rising sea breeze: "It's alright, just consider it enjoying the night view at sea."

"Alright."

Czechrom exhaled two streams of steaming mist from his nostrils, and his dragon wings slowly unfurled.

Just before takeoff, it didn't forget to nod and thank the group of nannies.

Well, this "helpful directions" made them fly an extra 300 nautical miles.

"If there's no work in the future, Mambo can just say a few words and that'll be it."

Czech Röhm left with these ambiguous words and walked away.

Only the bewildered nanny, Mambo, was left standing there.

"Mambo?" (What does that mean?)

"Mambo." (I don't know, human Pokémon are really strange. Probably some trainer's term.)
The nanny Mambos are still too uncorrupted, and don't even understand the "slang" of the trainer world.

After watching Czechrom and N leave, the nannies scattered.

……

……

Unova region, Liberty Garden Island.

Bictini perched on Li Xuan's shoulder, its little paws gripping a strand of his hair for balance.

The little guy was staring at the trainers moving around the island with wide, round eyes.

This is the most powerful trainer I have ever met so far.

At the corner, a familiar purplish-black skirt came into view.

Wanlong was still wearing her signature outfit.

Black pantyhose gleamed beneath the purple leather skirt, and thick-soled leather shoes clicked loudly on the pebbles.

She was carrying a light novel and walking briskly when she almost bumped into Li Xuan.

"Oh, isn't this Heavenly King Wanlong?"

Li Xuan stopped, waved his hand, and a playful smile played on his lips. "How have you been lately?"

He had so much to say to Wanlong.

How come there are all kinds of fanfiction?
And she wrote them all!

And why aren't there any pictures of me and Cattleya?

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Wanlong's fingertips suddenly gripped her skirt tightly, and a sample book fell to the ground with a "thud".

The back cover was facing up, and it prominently featured a pre-sale advertisement for "The Cold-Blooded Aura Master and His Mythical Pokémon".

The accompanying illustration is a chibi version of Li Xuan embracing Meloeta.

Haha, the weather is so nice!

She chuckled dryly and used her toes to push the book under a nearby bench, her ears burning red.

Victini tilted her head, not understanding why this human had suddenly started walking with his hands and feet moving in unison, as if he were in a state of confusion.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on the book that had been hastily hidden away, and the cartoonish image on the cover made him freeze instantly.

As a waveguide messenger, he has keen vision and even caught a glimpse of the inner pages.

He stroked Meloetana's long, string-like hair and whispered in the moonlight: "Your melody is the frequency of my heartbeat..."

Li Xuan swallowed hard halfway through his reading and said, "Holy crap, Wanlong, is this how it is with your female-oriented light novels?"

Even he couldn't stand it anymore.

Suddenly, the air became eerily quiet.

Victini was puzzled to find that the trainer's aura had suddenly become disordered and jagged.

Wanlong had already retreated three meters away, picked up the novel and used it to cover her face, with half of her panicked eye peeking out from the top of the spine, looking just like a skirmisher being targeted by a grenade.

"Um... wait, wait a minute!"

Wanlong frantically pulled a notebook out of her bag. "If you don't like it, well, actually, I can rewrite it right away!"

She flipped quickly to a blank page, the pen twirling between her fingers in a blur. "What kind of setting do you like? Miss Sabrina's superpower imprisonment play? Or Miss Cattleya's runaway marriage plot? Or perhaps, a threesome with wave resonance...?"

Li Xuan's temples throbbed, and just as he was about to speak, he sensed a different waveguide.

He turned his head and met Cattleya's shining eyes.

Cattleya's eyes were bright and alert, as if she was very interested in what Wanlong was saying.

"Three people...resonance?"

Cattleya repeated softly, her fingertips twirling the ends of her hair.

To be honest, she felt this would be quite interesting!

There were three people!
There are many things we can do.

It’s exciting just thinking about it!
The current Cattleya enjoys excitement; although she blushes, she still likes it.

He's someone who's both bad at the game and loves to play.

As for this kind of plot, Gadriya felt that watching it secretly would probably be harmless.

"You know, Miss Wanlong, this isn't about rewriting or not. It's about... you know what I mean?"

Li Xuan played the role of the riddle-maker, wanting to see where Wanlong's sincerity lay.

"Eh? Which one is it?"

Wanlong really didn't know what Li Xuan was talking about. After tilting her head blankly, she wanted to ask him what it would take to "let her go".

"Miss Wanlong, don't you really understand? You wouldn't want your novel to be taken down for infringing on portrait rights, would you?"

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and even used a certain subtle formula.

"I really don't understand."

Wanlong spoke the truth, but considering that he had indeed acted inappropriately, he added, "However, if I make money, I can send you some! Hmm, it seems like sending money directly isn't a good idea, let me think... how about I activate your governorship for a year?"

"So good."

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Since Wanlong is willing to do this, let's use his image as we please.

Well, after you finish the first draft, you should check it against yourself.

I can't just finish writing it at dawn and send it out directly; it'll be full of typos, and I'll have to ask readers to help me correct them.

"Hahaha! I never expected to run into Master Li Xuan and King Wanlong here!"

An elderly man with hair resembling the wings of a fire moth walked by in the distance, laughing heartily and with unusual cheerfulness.

He saw it from a distance.

Although I don't know what they're talking about, judging from Wanlong's evasive behavior, could it be that something happened between her and Li Xuan, causing her to become shy?
Adek expressed his approval.

What the Unova region is lacking right now is powerful trainers.

Li Xuan is definitely the one that suits my taste the best.

What a pity, Li Xuan is now one of the four honorary kings of the Kanto region.

It would probably be very difficult for me to invite Li Xuan to join the army at this time.

In the past, I could use money to persuade others.

But things are different now. Li Xuan is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region, so inviting him is extremely difficult.

The only way to build a good relationship is through similar methods.

I thought it would be difficult with only Cattleya, but now that Wanlong has also arrived, it seems that Li Xuan has indeed made good relations with the Unova region.

This is what Adek was thinking.

"By the way, Master Li Xuan, do you have any plans to train Volcano Moths?"

Aldak does have a Burning Bug, which was born from his former ace.

He wanted to use Pokémon to bridge the gap between the two sides.

only…

“Vulcano? Mr. Alder is very kind, but I have already caught a Flareon, and it was a Shiny Pokémon. So, I must decline.”

Li Xuan politely declined Adek's offer.

"Haha, I never thought you'd get rejected one day, Aldeck."

An old man approached from a distance, and after offering his unvarnished criticism, said to Li Xuan:
"Master Li Xuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Masder from the Galar region. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The old man was Ma Shide, one of Li Xuan's earliest spectators.

Li Xuan never expected that he would encounter these two champion-level trainers so quickly.

This made him look at Mastedt directly and realize that his clothes and appearance were the same as in his memory.

Noticing Li Xuan's gaze, Ma Shide's first question was: "Gym Leader Li Xuan, have you ever thought about training a legendary Pokémon?"

Li Xuan scratched his head and subconsciously asked, "Senior Ma Shide, is there a question you want to ask me?"
