Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 467: The Power of Heart: People and Legends of Glazed Glass (55)

After bowing slightly to the audience and Adam, Lai took back the sticky dragon in the venue and Mariluli beside him, officially ending the gym battle, and took over the gym from Adam's hand. The last badge of the tour, Liuli City, Raindrop Badge.

When the raindrop badge was inserted into the last card slot, there was a soft sound and a faint wave of energy covered the badge box.

Seeing Lai's slightly surprised expression, Adam, who was standing aside, reciprocated and explained:
"This is a small technology of the alliance. When you have the official recognition of eight official gyms, you are directly qualified to enter the main competition of the Caiyou Conference. This energy is an anti-counterfeiting sign. At the same time, with it, you We also have the qualification to start training from the southern section of the Champion Road, instead of the northern section that everyone can enter.”

"That's it. Thank you very much, Master Adam."

Len nodded, thanked him politely, and put the badge box back into his backpack.

He is not very interested in the road to championship. After all, he has only one goal, which is to win the Caiyou Tournament and directly use the right to challenge the youth competition champion.

From Huayue, he had already understood that the strongest wild Pokémon in the Road of Champions were only at the quasi-King level. For him at this moment, including Huayue, Naki, Daigo and others, they were already a bit useless.

But this is not to be blamed on the Hoenn Alliance. After all, there may be only a handful of young trainers as powerful as their generation in the history of the Hoenn Alliance and even Hoenn. To be able to appear at the same time is already a surprise. It's unimaginable.

In fact, from the original Hoenn Young Trainers Championship to the current Caiyu Tournament, there has never been a precedent for the tournament champion to defeat any of the Four Heavenly Kings. This challenge qualification is more to highlight the Four Heavenly Kings. It is powerful and at the same time gives some encouragement to young trainers.

Even Daigo, who won the championship last year, was like this and was easily defeated by Drizzt, who was ranked last among the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, this year's Dawu is completely different.

These older generation of king trainers, due to the gap between the level of training in the early years and the actual conditions, the combat effectiveness of Pokémon is not as strong as the two.
There are still a few months left before the Caiyou Conference. With his and Lai's training level, they will definitely be able to improve and even reach the same level as the older generation of strong people. It is absolutely impossible for these people to defeat the best at the same level. Nurture theirs.

Even, across several energy levels, powerful Pokémon such as giant marsh monster, giant golden monster, and big-billed gull can also have a clear upper hand.

For the two of them, at present, the suspense this year is just the difference between who will challenge directly and who will challenge the championship after breaking through.

And whether to launch a challenge to the Four Heavenly Kings, or to launch an attack on the long-vacant champion position.

The difference between the two is that the former challenges the four genuine kings from weak to strong. As long as the weakest one is defeated, the seat of the Four Heavenly Kings has been guaranteed. The remaining battle is just to determine the order of ranking.

As for the latter, as long as they cannot win all four battles, they will not be able to obtain the title of champion, nor will they be able to obtain the seat of Heavenly King.

For the current Four Heavenly Kings, the rules are the same. If the championship challenge fails, it will be deemed to have automatically given up the status of the King.

This is also one of the reasons why the Hoenn area champion position has been vacant for nearly ten years.

However, the more important reason is that Genji himself, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, has no interest in becoming a champion.

In his words, an old and mediocre champion will only bring discredit to the league.

"The gym challenge is over, do you want to come and sit at my place?"

Looking at Lai who was thinking, Adam didn't bother him, but waited until he came back to his senses before asking.

At this time, Naqi had quietly walked to Lai's side.

"Then I'm sorry to disturb you, Master Adam."

It just so happened that Lai also had some things that were inconvenient to ask in public, and he knew that this issue also troubled the other party.

During the confrontation, both sides felt that the other party's ability was similar to their own, but absolutely different.

······
Unlike the elegance and splendor that always leaves an impression, Adam's office is unexpectedly simple and elegant.

"Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee, thank you."

"Me too."

I made a cup of coffee for Lai and Naqi respectively, while Adam drank black tea.

Although there is a competitive relationship between Lai and Mikri, at Adam's age, it is okay to stand up for the juniors a little, but too much entanglement is far from the demeanor of a strong man like him.

After a battle in which he had nothing to say, he appreciated Lai a little more. At the same time, he thought about the condition of the disciple he had not contacted for many days, and secretly felt worried for him.

After some pleasantries and compliments, the two looked at each other and got down to business.

In exchange for information, the host Adam first demonstrated his abilities that may not necessarily be considered special abilities.

The weak energy was released, and beads of sweat were faintly visible on his forehead. It was obvious that he was using it seriously even if he didn't use his full strength.

"The abilities of the Water People can also be said to have been passed down from the previous Glazed People. In order to better protect the Pillar of the Sky located in the middle of the sea, we have the affinity to the sea. Specifically, we are better at interacting with the sea. Water Pokémon grow together and are able to cross barriers and pass on their own ideas to them, as well as their own better water properties." Adam explained simply, then withdrew his ability and cast a searching look at Rai.

"I don't know exactly where my ability comes from, but I can briefly explain it."

Lai nodded and released a little bit of his energy.

"Underwater breathing strengthens memory, helps Pokémon grow slightly, relieves physical fatigue slightly, and understands the intentions of Pokémon that recognizes itself."

While explaining with some reservation, a little energy seeped into Adam's body, showing off its subtle and magical effects.

Feeling this special energy, Adam frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took an ancient book from the top, opened it, and studied it carefully.

Lai and Naqi looked at each other, remained silent, and just drank their coffee calmly.

After a while, Adam, who was immersed in thinking, seemed to suddenly realize Lai and Naqi. He turned around and apologized apologetically, and walked to the two of them with the ancient book.

"Lai, your situation is somewhat similar to a certain ability recorded by the ancient Liuli people. However, because the history is so long, the descriptions in these ancient books are more like myths. Are you interested in taking a look? ?I can give you a rubbing."

"Then thank you, senior. I am really interested in historical records."

Lai nodded slightly, and accepted the rubbings presented by Adam.

Both parties know that the other has reservations and both know what the other needs.

As Mikri's teacher, Adam wants to test Mikri's depth more for him.

As a powerful ability user, Lai also has a certain pursuit of relevant knowledge.

This is why they can communicate here today.

After achieving their respective main goals, they exchanged some polite and courteous words. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lai left in time and left with Naqi amidst Adam's persuasion.

······
Northeast corner of Liuli City, inside the Municipal Library.

Next to the retrieval machine, Naqi operated dexterously, summarizing the valid information one by one and telling Lai inside.

Lai quickly walked through the bookshelves, accurately found relevant books, flipped through them quickly, and wrote down the useful parts with the power of his heart.

There were very few useful parts, and most of them were indeed mythical legends, but only the truly meaningful parts made his trip worthwhile.

Their actions were quickly reported to Yudrop Gym.

At the desk, while listening to the report, Adam was contemplating the letter he would write to his disciple Mikri.

In the part that has been completed, he has already made his own analysis of Lai's strength and ability, which includes both Lai's own statement and an analysis based on intelligence from all aspects. Although it is not accurate, it is not outrageous.

······
Shuijing City, a gorgeous conference venue.

Mikri, who had already learned about Lai's situation through the communication, shook his head helplessly after hearing that the master had sent a long letter.

In terms of age, Mi Keli is four or five years older than both Lai and Dawu. However, rather than striving for victory, which is more like an idea of ​​the older generation, he prefers to focus his energy on himself. based on his interest and the career that resulted from it.

Unlike the conservative Water People and Master Adam, Michaeli has always regarded himself as a member of the Coordinator Association, and has taken action to promote the advancement of the Coordinator's status. He can be regarded as a clear-cut reformist.

But as the leader of the new generation of Liuli City and Water People, he also has his own responsibilities.

In the future Caiyu Tournament, achieving good results, especially defeating several people who are regarded as his competitors by most people, is part of this responsibility.

However, even though they are competitors, their ages are quite different.

The oldest, Hanayue Mikri, is nearly twenty years old, and the youngest, Fu Rong, has just turned 12 years old, but they can barely be classified into one generation.

Sighing slightly, he adjusted his mood and strode backstage.

A master-level gorgeous contest is about to begin.
