Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 582 A Country Boy's Chance Encounter with the Empress?

"I heard there's an event there," Fang Yan said as he walked back with two ice cream cones, handing one of them, strawberry-flavored, to Cynthia.

Cynthia took the ice cream cone, took a small bite, and found it cool and sweet, making her squint her eyes.

"What activity?"

"It seems to be a team battle between couples," Fang Yan said, taking a big bite.

"A couple team battle?" Cynthia turned her head, her beautiful silver-gray eyes looking at Fang Yan.

"Yes, it's said that the winning couple will get a three-day trip to Romantic Island."

"Romantic Island?"

"It must be a newly opened island in the Carlos region, right? It's probably a tourist attraction, or at least a high-end hotel. But I heard the island has pretty complete facilities, like a movie theater, a hotel—and of course, cough cough, I heard there are hot springs too—"

"A hot spring? If it's just a hot spring, why are you so excited?"

"Am I excited? I'm perfectly calm, okay?"

"Has no one told you that you tend to purse your lips when you lie?"

"————" Fang Yan immediately covered his lips.

"I tricked you, didn't I?" Cynthia squinted her eyes happily, looking at Fang Yan with a smug look on her face.

dialect:!!!

"You're bluffing me?!" Fang Yan's eyes widened.

"Shh, this isn't called cheating, this is called—um—the internet says it's called romance."

/（/。A）Z

Something's wrong. You're acting very strangely.

"What's wrong?"

"My adorable little one wouldn't say such a thing! Who are you? Tell me the truth!" Fang Yan shouted at Cynthia, holding up the ice cream cone in his hand.

"Oh? What do I usually say?" Cynthia moved closer to Fang Yan, face to face with him, her beautiful face almost touching his.

"Or is it that you don't like me like this, Uncle?"

Gengar and Garchomp were hiding to the side, eating snacks.

"Kou Jie Yi"

Who do you think will win?

"Kah!"

Hmph! Need I say more? Your trainer is utterly pathetic.

Gengar: [Furious] [Disgusted by its lack of ambition.jpg]

Damn it! Dialect, you better step up!

Clearly, dialects don't stand up to scrutiny.

He looked into the eyes so close to his own, and his old face flushed red.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fight back; he even wanted to kiss her directly, but Cynthia was wearing a mask and a hat, so only her eyes were visible.

"Ahem." Fang Yan turned his face away and said, "What I mean is, no matter who you are, please don't get off her!"

"Let's see how you do?" Cynthia winked at the dialect.

Seeing the way Fang Yan looked at her with such lustful eyes, Cynthia smiled knowingly.

Sure enough, the techniques taught by Wanlong and Karuni were extremely effective for Fang Yan!

"So, can you tell me why the hot spring made you so happy?" Cynthia asked, biting into the ice cream cone in Fang Yan's hand.

"That's my ice cream cone," Fang Yan said, puffing out her cheeks.

"Um?"

"I mean, I can give you anything you want to eat."

Cynthia nodded in satisfaction.

"So, a hot spring?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid the questioning, Fang Yan had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Hot springs—I heard they're mixed-gender bathing, specifically for couples—"

Fang Yan touched his nose and chuckled.

Cynthia: ————

Cynthia's ears turned red instantly.

"Of course, if you don't want to go there, that's fine too. It's lively here anyway." Fang Yan held her hand and brought the ice cream cone to her lips.

Cynthia took a bite without hesitation, then grabbed Fang Yan's hand and pulled him forward quickly.

Even in high heels, her steps were not affected in the slightest, as if the high heels themselves were created to suit her.

"Where to?"

"Shared hot spring bathing."

Cynthia's voice was very soft.

Fang Yan's eyes lit up.

Today, in this joint battle between couples, he and Zhu Lan are determined to win.

Two champions participating in a baby cup – isn't this like a dragon riding right in their face?

Let alone a baby cup, even if Arceus himself came today, the dialect would be crushed.

After Fang Yan and Cynthia signed up for the competition, Gengar and Garchomp exchanged a glance, then threw all the food in their hands into their mouths and began to chew.

Immediately afterwards, the ghost and the dragon narrowed their eyes, their eyes revealing a strong killing intent.

Gengar: With Garchomp and me teamed up, who dares to challenge us?!

Garchomp: I'll team up with this fatso, and we'll kill one if one comes, and two if two come!

Definitely a double protection for the Demon King.

After registering, Fang Yan and Cynthia were quickly matched with opponents.

They are a trainer couple from the Hoenn region.

They are said to be the champions of this year's Hoenn League.

The man in the couple across from them looked at Fang Yan and the disguised Cynthia, and he felt like he had seen these two people somewhere before.

Forget it, he and his sweetheart must win this battle!

"You may be strong, but sorry, we are stronger!" The man in the couple used this threat before the battle.

"I am the champion of this year's Hoenn League Tournament."

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Fang Yan and Xilona exchanged a glance, both seeing cunning in each other's eyes.

The battle began quickly, with the opposing couple sending out the three starter Pokémon from the Hoenn region: Swampert and Blaziken.

Gengar and Garchomp slowly walked forward and exchanged a glance.

Gengar & Garchomp: We will give it our all in this battle!

The couple opposite them were clearly two powerful trainers. Perhaps feeling intimidated by Fang Yan and Cynthia's Pokémon being Gengar and Garchomp, they used Mega Evolution at the start of the battle.

Fang Yan narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

Oh ho?

Or is he a user of Mega Evolution?

They seem to be quite strong.

To be on the safe side, and to be able to bathe in the hot spring with Miss Zhulan, he absolutely cannot lose this battle!

The wooden pendant on his chest rose up without wind and floated in front of Fang Yan. He reached out, grabbed the pendant tightly, and pulled hard.

When Cynthia saw Swampert and Blaziken Mega Evolve, her beautiful silver-gray eyes narrowed slightly.

When bathing in hot springs together, and speaking in local dialects, all dangers must be eliminated!

So she took out a cherry blossom lipstick inlaid with a keystone from her pocket.

Amidst all the shocked gazes.

Fang Yan and Cynthia spoke at the same time: "Gengar, Mega Evolve!"

Garchomp, Mega Evolution!

The auras of Gengar and Garchomp erupted instantly, and the terrifying shockwave blew the hats off everyone's heads.

The couple opposite stared in disbelief at the Mega Gengar and Mega Garchomp that appeared on the field.

Couple (male): Dude, why didn't you tell me sooner that you guys were this strong?!

The guy in the couple: You guys make me look really stupid!

As the champion of the Hoenn League tournament, he could clearly feel the actual gap between himself and the couple in front of him.

Like a chasm.

"Dragon's Dive!"

"Shadowball!"

Before Mega Swampert and Mega Blaziken could react, they felt a sharp pain in their bodies and then lost consciousness.

Fang Yan deactivated Gengar's Mega Evolution form, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you for your kind offer."

Cynthia also deactivated Garchomp's Mega Evolution and bowed slightly in response to Fang Yan's words.

The organizers' faces darkened as they looked at the shattered arena.

How can we compete from here on out?

Even if the arena is rebuilt, with this couple being so incredibly strong, will other contestants still be able to participate?

If other contestants don't participate, what's the point of holding this event?!

The event was originally organized to promote the new island, and who knew that a couple who were clearly not ordinary trainers would come to participate.

With this kind of strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they have the power of the Four Heavenly Kings!

The Four Heavenly Kings, of all people, coming to participate in this kind of event? Aren't they ashamed if word gets out?!

The person in charge of organizing the event hesitated for a moment, then quietly walked over to Fang Yan and Shirona.

"Hello, sir and madam, I am the person in charge of this event."

Cynthia looked at the person in charge, who instantly felt as if he were being stared at by a terrifying Garchomp, and his hair stood on end.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

As soon as the man next to the woman spoke, the person in charge felt all the pressure he felt disappear.

He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's like this, this event was originally intended to promote our newly opened island, but your abilities—" The person in charge paused for a moment, then continued, "You two are too strong, and no other couples are willing to participate in our event anymore."

"You mean we should withdraw from the competition!?"

Although the man's voice was gentle, he felt as if he were falling into an ice cave, even more terrifying than before.

In particular, a cold wind kept blowing across the back of my neck.

He shuddered and said, "No, no, what I meant was, I'll give you extra tickets for a three-day trip to Romantic Island. Can you just withdraw from the competition? After all, the other contestants also need to participate, so the celebration will be more lively—"

Before he could finish speaking, a hand was placed on his shoulder. He looked up and saw the man's sunny smile.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Okay, we'll listen to you. After all, other couples need to have the opportunity to experience this, right?"

"Yes." The person in charge quickly handed the ticket to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan took the ticket and nodded in satisfaction.

Thank you.

After speaking in dialect, he took Cynthia's hand and turned to leave.

Watching the two figures depart, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief.

What a terrifying aura! He thought he was going to die just now.

Such a powerful aura definitely belongs to the Four Heavenly Kings level.

I wonder which of the four kings in each league currently have a partner.

Young, a male-female team, and very strong.

Could they be the Elite Four from the Unova region?

Fang Yan led Cynthia to a secluded spot and gestured to her with the ticket in his hand.

"What do you mean? Should we go now, or wait until this event is over?"

Cynthia thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go after today's activities are over. I want to look around some more."

"it is good."

Fang Yan put the ticket away, looked at Gengar and Garchomp beside him, and gave them a thumbs up.

"You did a great job today, so I'll give you credit. When we get back to the nursery, I'll make you something delicious, whatever you want to eat."

The aura that the person in charge sensed was caused by Garchomp and Gengar standing behind him.

For example, the cold wind he felt on his neck was Gengar blowing the wind directly onto his neck.

"Kou Jie—"

Yay! Hooray!

"Kaaoo-i"

Well, I guess I'll just have to accept it.

Next, Fang Yan and Cynthia strolled hand in hand through the crowd.

Cynthia is interested in many things, especially activities that couples participate in.

For example, challenges involving tacit understanding between couples, or restaurants catering to couples—

She dragged Fang Yan to experience everything related to couples.

Wanlong and Karuni are right. Since we're going on a date, we should do things that are appropriate for a date, instead of just going out, holding hands, walking down the street, and chatting like before.

Cynthia sat in the movie theater, holding Fang Yan's hand, and gently resting her head on his shoulder.

This action seems simple, but for a strong-willed woman like Cynthia, it took her a long time to finally rest her head gently on Fang Yan's shoulder.

Feeling the head resting on his shoulder, Fang Yan grinned, took Cynthia's hand, and whispered, "Zhu Lan."

"Um?

Cynthia looked at Fang Yan with a puzzled expression.

"If it makes you feel uncomfortable, then you don't need to do it."

Cynthia didn't speak, but just looked at Fang Yan with a puzzled expression.

"I like you. I like your strength, your resilience, your indecisiveness, your domineering nature, and I also like your gentleness."

"I love all of you, no matter what you do, I will always love you."

Did you know? I have three favorite things.

The sun, the moon, and you—wherever we are, the sun is morning, the moon is evening, and you are every morning and every evening.

Oh right, and Pokémon too, they're my constant companions.

So, there's no need to listen to other people's advice. Our relationship has always been about doing what's comfortable for us, hasn't it? That's how it was when we first met, and that's how it is now that we're dating.

"Don't you like me like this?"

"Not really. I just think that all you need to do is do what you want to do. As for how couples get along, different couples have different ways of getting along."

Inside the movie theater, a nighttime story was playing, plunging the entire theater into darkness.

Cynthia smiled beautifully and then sat up straight.

"it is good."

It's a very simple word.

Fang Yan nodded and gently took Cynthia's hand.

We watched the movie together attentively.

Gengar didn't like watching romance movies, so it slipped out of the theater and ate snacks with Garchomp in a nearby park.

Suddenly, it saw a figure sneaking into the park under the cover of night.

Gengar and Garchomp exchanged a glance and simultaneously concealed their auras.

Tianxi ran all the way to the bench and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How terrifying! Why are so many people still out so late?! Aren't they afraid of encountering danger?"

Just as Tianxi was chattering away, a big, fat head appeared in front of her.
