Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 358 The long-awaited reunion in Zijin City (15)

In the eyes of ordinary people, an assassination is extremely dangerous, but in the eyes of experienced trainers like Lai and Naqi, it is just an ordinary battle.

The matter in Fuyan Town has been resolved, and the travel will continue as usual.

As we continue to move forward along Route 112, on the long road down the mountain, we can see tourists coming here everywhere, or young trainers practicing in this area.

Most of them have only one characteristic, that is, they are rich.

You can tell from the simple cost of clothing and the mental outlook of the Pokémon.

These trainers, who are most likely to be from Zijin City, and tourists from all over the world, are all well-dressed, clean and tidy, and do not look like they are on the road at all. The Pokémon are also tall and tall, and are generally well-nurtured.

After accidentally watching a battle between a young trainer and a wild Pokémon, Rai's memory of these big city trainers emerged from the depths of his memory.

As early as on the reef island, their combat effectiveness had left a deep impression on Lai. If they could not attack, they could not defend. If there were several such people in Lai's offensive echelon at that time, I am afraid that they would not have achieved the great results at that time.

Now it seems that those trainers from rich families who are good on the outside but poor on the outside may still be the relatively successful type among trainers in big cities.

With his Pokémon's energy level being close to level 20, the young man successfully passed a series of wrong instructions, injuring both a Lizard King and Rumblestone.

After that, Rai easily stopped wasting time watching such battles.

Even on the morning of the second day of the journey, he had given up walking and took the big-billed gull instead, speeding towards Zijin City.

There is no other reason. Different from the Pokémon and trainers in the mountains and forests who are not necessarily strong but mostly have powerful styles, these are really embroidered pillows and are not qualified to be used as a sparring partner for Doron Mecia.

By chance, Lai happened to catch up with the response personnel sent by the Electricity Gym.

······
One hundred kilometers north of Zijin City, on the only way to the process, Lai received a call from Tie Xuan and successfully found the two gym apprentices who came to meet him.

"Mr. Lai, the owner of the museum has been waiting for a long time, and specially sent us here to welcome you."

A young trainer who looked to be in his early twenties came forward with a very polite tone.

"It's getting late. Let's have a meal together, and then I'll take you back? To be honest, I'm quite confident in my craftsmanship."

Lai, who has a good personal relationship with Tie Xuan, is also very friendly to the apprentices at the Electricity Gym.

The young man refused without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness. The master of the gym has also prepared a banquet in the gym to welcome the three of you."

As he spoke, he walked towards the electric car not far away and drove it in front of Lai and the others.

Taking advantage of his companion's temporary departure, another eleven or twelve-year-old apprentice finally found an opportunity, looked at Lai with bright eyes, and asked, "Mr. Lai, when we get to the gym, can you fight me?"

Looking at the two people who were cold and hot, Lai couldn't help laughing, patted the shoulder of the young man who was much shorter than himself, and said: "Of course there is no problem, but after I fight with the Iron Spin Hall Master, what is your name?" ?”

"Chiyoko, my name is Chiyoko Oura."

The boy, no, actually a girl with short hair, said loudly.

"Okay Chiyoko, I've taken note of it and I accept your challenge."

Although slightly embarrassed, Lai agreed with a smile. ······
All the way safe and sound.

With the golden signboard of the Electricity Gym opening the way, coupled with the precarious situation these days, the Murata family did not do anything even though they knew about Lai's arrival at the first moment.

Arriving at the gate of the gym, Tie Xuan was already waiting. As soon as he saw Lai and Naqi, he stepped forward with a big smile.

"Hahaha! Lai, I've heard everything about you in Zijin. We haven't seen you for a few months. I'm really impressed!"

A firm slap landed on Lai's back, highlighting the energy and toughness of the old man in front of him.

"Master Tiexuan, we have missed you very much after seeing you for so long. Mayor Sazar asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

The man in front of me, like Tenwang Genji, can be regarded as half of Rai's guide on the road to being a trainer, so Rai's attitude is also very respectful.

Behind him, Naqi and Cortna also bowed slightly and greeted the old-timer.

"You kid, you are always so polite. I have to say something to you. Why didn't you contact me as soon as such a big thing happened? If something really happened, Brother Saza would have to kill me. Can’t come to the Electric Gym?”

Taking on the posture of an elder, Tie Xuan was half teaching and half caring. The two apprentices on the side were also amazed when they saw this.

On weekdays, although Tie Xuan is an old man with a bold personality, cheerful and hospitable, he rarely treats others so closely. Far from admiring a young and promising trainer, he looks more like a junior in his own family.

"What you're saying is, isn't it the first time I've come to apologize to you?"

With a chuckle, Lai clasped his hands at Tie Xuan and began to beg for mercy.

"Hahaha! You are still acting like a child at this time. Come on, go in and eat and talk! Youlang, Chiyoko, you arrange to go down and check the battlefield again, and then come over and eat together!"

"Yes, the owner!"

"Okay, grandpa, the owner!"

The two agreed and trotted all the way into the main building of the gym, which had a complicated environment.

"You three, come with me, Lai, haven't you introduced this little girl to me yet?"

He happily led the three of them around the main building of the gym and came to the living area at the back. On the way, Cortna first introduced herself, and then recounted what happened that night in a more elaborate way.

Under normal circumstances, few older people would be offended by Ketna's temper, especially an old naughty boy like Tie Xuan. Within a few words, the two of them got along well with each other and the atmosphere became lively.

······
"So, you have caused a big loss to the Murata family. Even they can't find many experts of this level. I've long been unhappy with that brat Murata Yasuji. It's really a happy thing, haha. Ha ha!"

At the dinner table, Tie Xuan's face glowed brightly as he listened to Lai's account of the entire process, especially the introduction of the assassin's leader and follow-up treatment.

There has been a long-standing conflict between the Electric Power Gym and the Zijin City Alliance branch, especially with the Murata family. The biggest resistance to the urban reform plan that Tie Xuan has always wanted to implement comes from the Murata family.

On weekdays, the two sides can still maintain face-saving projects and jointly deal with the mountain people in the north. In recent years, the conflicts have gradually decreased, and the relationship between the two sides has gradually become tense.

The Violet Gymnasium, which controls many industries, and the Murata family, which controls both the black and white paths and owns large tracts of land and material wealth, will be at war sooner or later, even without the participation of outside forces, in a few years.
