I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

[Seeing the other person's unwillingness to admit defeat, you can only answer patiently. ]

[Fortunately, Zhubei didn't feel particularly bad. After making an appointment with you to have dinner together in the evening, she left the scene with a relieved Ibrahimovic.]

"Hello, are you Mr. Xia Mu?"

After Zhu Bei left, Xia Mu suddenly heard a gentle male voice behind him.

When he looked back, he was stunned.

"Sirona?"

He called out subconsciously, but then he realized that the person in front of him was a man.

only...

Although the gender and age are different, the other person looks quite similar to Sirona.

The same yellow hair, the same amber eyes, even the face shape and temperament are very similar.

The most important thing is...there is also a Land Shark next to the opponent.

So much so that Xia Mu immediately recognized the two people as wrong.

It’s just different from the straightforward and bold feeling that Shirona gave Xia Mu.

The first time he saw the man in front of him, he couldn't help but frown.

The other person gave him a strange feeling, as if he was hiding something under his gentle smile.

"Sirona? It's a nice name."

"But if it's okay... Mr. Xia Mu, please call me Wang Luo."

"Of course, you can also add my position in front - member of the Ginkgo Caravan."

Wang Luo was not at all annoyed by being called the wrong name. He shook his head and spoke gently.

Seeing Wang Luo introducing himself, Xia Mu nodded slightly.

Then he asked:

"So what do you want to talk to me about?"

He had heard of the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce, an organization founded by businessmen that resold various materials, tools, and even flowers.

To a certain extent, the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce has strengthened the connections between various parts of Xicui and promoted economic development, and Xia Mu has no bad feelings about it.

What puzzled him was why such an organization approached him?

Selling products?

While guessing, Wang Luo cleared his throat and stated his intentions.

"I watched Mr. Xia Mu's fight yesterday. It was very exciting."

"Among them, I'm curious about the stone you used to change Lucario's form. Can I ask you where I can find it?"

Wang Luo perfectly embodies the qualities that a businessman should have.

He rubbed his palms together and asked rather hotly.

Hearing the same question that Sirona asked yesterday, Xia Mu didn't have much patience this time.

"I picked it up at the Red Lotus Wetland."

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell everyone about Regichikas, so he spoke in a rather perfunctory manner, just like he did with Lucario yesterday.

"That's it."

Wang Luo nodded with a thoughtful expression.

Then, he curled his lips and thanked:

"Thank you for telling me this. This is my business card. Please accept it."

Wang Luo did not continue to ask, and there was no regret on his face, as if he had already confirmed something.

Then, he took out his business card and handed it to Xia Mu, then bowed slightly and said goodbye.

"I'll be leaving now. Also, I've signed up for the Pokémon Battle Tournament. I look forward to meeting you."

Looking at Wang Luo walking away, Xia Mu frowned.

He was sure that the other party's purpose was definitely not to ask about the origin of the Evolution Stone.

But he had no idea what they were looking for him for.

"Xia Mu, there is a very strange aura about that person."

Zoroark, who was hiding behind Xia Mu, reminded in a low voice.

The dark feeling on Wang Luo's body is actually stronger than her resentful Pokémon.

"I think he's weird, too."

"Just don't contact him."

Xia Mu said comfortingly, patting Zoroark's furry head.

However, compared to Wang Luo's purpose, he was more curious about the other party himself.

There is no other reason, the other person looks too much like Sirona.

Thinking of Sirona's identity, Xia Mu had a guess in his mind.

Chapter 177 Wang Luo's Plan

the other side.

After separating from Xia Mu, Wang Luo returned to where he lived, put his fingers on his chin, and fell into deep thought.

The stone on Xia Mu's neck is very interesting. If possible, he would also like to get one for his Pokémon to wear.

However, the reason why he contacted the other party was naturally not because of such a simple matter.

What concerned him most was... another thing on Xia Mu.

——Clear slate.

That’s right, Wang Luo himself couldn’t believe that he would actually meet what he wanted here.

As a descendant of the ancient Sinnoh people, he knew many things that could be considered secrets.

For example, what the Pearl Tribe and the King Kong Tribe are arguing about now seems boring and narrow-minded to him.

Because he knew clearly that no matter whether it was the Pokémon that controlled the physical space or the Pokémon that controlled the time, neither of them was the real Sinnoh Great Lord.

Above these two, there is a true Creator.

And his dream is also very simple.

That is to collect all the stone tablets, and then use this as an opportunity to capture the real Shenao Great Lord recorded in the records.

By then, no one will be able to stop him from doing anything he wants.

Unfortunately...so far, he has only obtained one of the eighteen stone tablets.

Or it was given to him by a dark side Pokémon after he collaborated with it.

If this continues, Wang Luo feels that he may never be able to realize his ambitions and dreams until his death.

Fortunately, he found an opportunity today.

The contestant named Xia Mu had a similar aura to the feeling the stone slab in his hand gave him.

Wang Luo was almost certain that the other party must also have a stone slab of unknown properties on his body.

What he had to think about now was how to snatch the stone slab from the other party.

"Griffin, what do you think of that Lucario's strength?"

Narrowing his eyes, Wang Luo asked the Pokémon beside him.

"Roar?"

Hearing this, Land Shark showed a conflicted expression.

Although he was confident in himself, that Lucario didn't look like someone who could be easily messed with.

Wang Luo nodded in understanding when he saw this.

It seems that if you want to grab the stone slab, you can't just rush forward blindly.

The best thing... is to get the other person out of the tribe.

Whether in an active or passive way, it will greatly facilitate his success rate.

[The conversation with Wang Luo did not have much impact on you. ]

[In the following few days of battle, you won smoothly and easily. ]

[Among them, you only met one owner - Ju Yi from the Pearl Team.

[The opponent's Axe Mantis is very fast and powerful, worthy of the title of "King", but it is still inferior to Lucario. 】

[After several battles, your reputation in the two tribes has almost reached its peak, and even has a tendency to surpass the two leaders.]

[The same achievement was also achieved by Sirona. ]

[Her luck was much worse. She crashed into several owners in succession, including the ice rock monster that was as big as a hill.]

[But fortunately, Garchomp was strong enough to survive. ]

【Now, the champion will almost certainly be chosen from you and her. 】

"Contestant Xia Mu, please do your best in tomorrow's competition."

At night, Xia Mu got his duel list as usual.

As expected, the three big words "Shirona" appeared on it.

"Well..."

Before Xia Mu could move, Zoroark next to him started to whine first.

Even Lucario may not be able to defeat Sirona's Garchomp.

It seems there is no escape.

"Lucario will get angry again if you do this."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zoroark glared at him with a somewhat ferocious expression.

Then she sighed slightly.

Just show up. Since Xia Mu wants to, she won’t avoid it anymore.

Moreover, she had used magic to secretly visit audiences from the two tribes in the past few days.

Most people have only heard rumors about Zoroark but have not learned much about him.

So it's just a little bit of fear, not to the point of disgust.

If I show up...it should be okay, right?

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

“People from the two tribes still get along well.”

Seeing that Zoroark was still hesitating, Xia Mu comforted him.

If he wasn't absolutely sure, he wouldn't have exposed Zoroark to the public.
