Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 754 Postscript [-]: Cortna smiles beautifully

"Kyuubi, full power of purgatory!"

On the stage, the well-dressed Cortner was not only gorgeous, but also a little more heroic.

The sky was full of fire, like a gorgeous light show.

Opposite Cortna was also an experienced master coordinator, but in the face of the absolute strength gap, it was still difficult to resist, and she was defeated in a short time.

But judging from his expression, he was obviously not too convinced about such a magnificent battle that was won by strength.

But for Cortner, the victory speaks for itself.

With a bright smile, Cortina accepted the trophy and the little ribbon.

The audience in the audience was also divided into two distinct categories.

The battle between schools within the Gorgeous Competition has gradually become evenly matched.

More and more coordinators and audiences realize the beauty of strength itself.
-
"Mom, Aunt Cortner has a beautiful smile."

At the VIP table, Leona sat in Naqi's arms with her arms folded like a little adult, and seriously commented to Cortna who had just won a gorgeous battle.

Naki pinched Leona's cheek gently and wiped away the food residue from the corner of her mouth.

On the ground beside him, Slowpoke, who naturally became Leona's initial Pokémon, was lying on his stomach in an innocent manner. His eyes were particularly bright, and he seemed to be full of curiosity about everything.

In the cycle of time, this life that was revived after 12 years is not only the former Slow King, but also a unique and irreplaceable new Pokémon, Slowpoke.

The light of wisdom shines on it, but it is not that transparent wise man, but like a sponge with infinite capacity, absorbing all knowledge and turning it into the nutrients of life.

When it opened its eyes and saw the curious eyes of Leona, a new fate was already connected.
-
"Hey, hey, am I so awesome and so handsome?"

Backstage, looking at the Lai family who came specially to support her, Cortna looked proud. She picked up Leona, who was very close to her, and played with her.

"Aunt Cortner, smile! You look beautiful when you smile!"

Leona opened her hands and kept reaching forward, saying in a milky voice.

"Does it look good? Auntie also thinks she is very good-looking. Look at you, and look at little Leona. What is the difference in vision?"

Little Leona almost sweetened Cortna's heart.

Cortna affectionately held the little guy in front of her, kissed him again and again, rubbed his cheek again and again, and then glanced at the guy standing in front of him with disgust.

"It seems that correct aesthetic education really cannot stop for a moment, Lai, do you understand?"

Naqi was smiling, but only the slightly trembling corners of her eyes revealed her uneasiness at the moment.

Faced with the murderous intent, Lai Ye only dared to look at his nose and heart, pretending that nothing happened.

"Come on, Mom! Come on, Auntie Cortner!"

On the battlefield, a fierce fight is still going on.

Leona sat on Len's shoulders, dancing and waving her little fist from time to time, extremely excited.

Slowpoke also looked thoughtfully at the fierce battle between Mega Tanabata Blue Bird and Sidorane.

"Brother Lai! We are here!"

A bright voice came from far away.

"Good afternoon, Safiya, and Ruby."

Lai waved, motioning for the two of them to come to him.

"Little Leona, long time no see!"

Safia raised her little finger, stretched it out in front of Leona's eyes, and shook it back and forth, making the little guy giggle.

"I designed some clothes for Leona, please accept them."

Ruby, who has matured a lot, is a little more reserved, but not as open-minded as she was when she was a child. She politely handed over a paper bag containing several carefully designed children's clothes.

Both his father Qianli, who has taken over as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance, and his master Mikoli, who is the chairman of the alliance, both have great respect for Brother Lai, who helped him when he was a child, and even treat him with a little more restraint, unlike him. Safiya, who gets along like a family, is so open-minded.

"Now that you are interested, the clothes made by the master coordinator are priceless treasures. Don't be so formal and come and sit down. Safiya suddenly said that she wants to meet after the game today. Is there something wrong?"

Taking the paper bag and putting it aside, Lai waved enthusiastically and asked the two of them to sit next to him, asking curiously.

"It is said that there will be a meteor shower in Sinnoh soon. Ruby said that we would go and see it together and travel in Sinnoh for a while, so I came to say goodbye to you."

Safiya hugged Leona and explained the reason for her visit today while playing around.

"It's obviously you."

Ruby subconsciously wanted to correct her, but in the middle of her words, Safiya stopped her with a look.

"Meteor shower, it's really good. Naqi and I also watched the most important meteor shower for us. It has been more than ten years ago." Smiling at the young couple bickering, Lai also recalled the past.

"Boom"

The petite and cute figure suddenly appeared and sat arrogantly on top of Lai's head.

【That’s my credit! 】

Jirachi was swaying, and every move showed indescribable pride.

"Of course, our little Jirachi is the best, right?"

Gently scratching Jirachi's belly, Rai made no secret of his affection.

Over the past ten years, under the care of him and Naqi, Kiraqi still maintains the pure heart as before, as well as the innocence and loveliness of a child.

【whee! 】

With a shy smile, Jirachi changed his mind, and the super sweet poffin in the box and the special ice cream in the refrigerator at Chenghua's home appeared in front of him.

He held Baofen in his arms and munched slowly, while Naqi generously shared the ice cream made by Naqi among the four of them.

"boom--"

Under the gaze of the four people who were eating ice cream and watching the game, Cortner's "tenacious resistance" did not last long.

Facing the successive attacks of several Pokémon led by Mega Tanabata Bluebird, the inferior Cortna was quickly defeated. Her beautiful smiling face disappeared and was replaced by a crying expression.

"Aunt Cortner smiles beautifully, but she doesn't smile often in front of my mother."

Under the playful eyes of the three, little Leona said solemnly.

Off the court, Naqi, who was like a Valkyrie, showed a winner's smile and waved to her husband, daughter and protégé Safiya in the stands.
-
a few days later.

In the outskirts of Chenghua City, it is only a ten-minute walk from Lai and Naqi's home.

In a house, or rather, in a manor.

"Hum hum hum~"

While humming, watering the fruit trees.

Seeing the rows of fruit trees growing well, including many new varieties, Ketna was in a good mood, and her movements became much lighter.

Nowadays, she doesn’t go much to Cournoye.

As the leader of development against a group of trainers who have passed the test every month, it is considered as clocking out.

Of course, other matters must be left to the old and strong Uncle Bernardo, as well as the young and powerful Finan and Benedita.

With this idea in mind, Cortner put aside her picks without feeling any pressure.

It is precisely because of this that she has resumed her old career as a breeder and coordinator. She has a full schedule and often participates in various activities and competitions. She is also very popular. Compared to Mikri, she is no less generous. She can be called a rich man. A high-quality idol of fate.

However, if this is the case, she always has to find time to live and live in Chenghua. From time to time, she goes to Lai and Naqi's house, drinks tea, makes trouble, teases Leona and Lai, and also stays with Naqi every now and then. Bickering.

The days passed like this, which can be said to be fulfilling and happy. Even her mentality did not change much from when she was young. She was still so quirky and endearing.

Lena and Naqi's daughter, Leona, liked her Aunt Cortner the most and made noises to see her every now and then.

"dong dong dong"

Just as he was thinking about Leona, there was a knocking sound outside the door.

Cortner asked without looking back, "Who is it?"

"Me, Rai."

"coming!"

Throwing the kettle away, Cortna appeared in front of the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, why are you so diligent today and even go out in person?"

Cortner teased jokingly while opening the door.

"It's not that outrageous." Len shook his head helplessly and poked Cortner's forehead, "Let me see you and study the new formula you mentioned."

"Tch! If you poke me again, you'll be fooled!" Covering her forehead, Cortner's tone sounded a bit sad, "That hot-tempered and jealous person of yours actually let you come over. The sun really comes out from the west."

"It's okay, Naqi is very gentle and generous."

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Cortner's hair. The neat black hair suddenly became messy.

"Paws off!"

With a "snap" slap, Len's hand was knocked off. Cortner struggled to smooth her messy hair and hummed softly: "You have to touch your own conscience. Do you believe a word of this?"

"Even if it's not generous, it's still very gentle. I can guarantee that."

Thinking of the frequent twists and turns, Lai showed a faint smile.

"Hey, that's for you. I don't think she's being gentle. Come in." She glanced at Lai with disgust, Ke Tena was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"That's it. I think the energy abundance of the pomelo fruit cultivated in this way will be much higher, so it can leave space for the configuration of the blocks. Now let's see how you operate it. It should be operable."

After taking a bite of the finished product, although it was not perfect yet, it was at least in the right direction. Cortner was very satisfied, her smile appeared, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright.

"It is indeed a very practical idea. If your innovation in planting techniques can be popularized, Master Yuanxin may have to abdicate in favor of others." Lai nodded seriously, expressing his appreciation for Cortna's keen judgment and fruit planting. The talent is highly affirmed, "Also, what Leona said is indeed correct, you still look much better when you smile than usual."

"I'm usually special too! Don't! Okay! Look!"

She pinched Lai's cheeks hard and suddenly exerted force. Cortna pouted and rushed forward to make a fuss with Lai.

"Boom"

"Boom"

During the play, one of them was inattentive, the chair tilted, and the two of them also fell to the ground.

"Hiss - pain, pain, pain!"

Cortna hugged her head, shrank into a ball, and fell into Lei's arms.

"Why are you hurting? You hit my arm. It's me who should cry."

Seeing Cortner's little trick at a glance, Len sat up angrily and helped her up.

"Wow, you are such a person! Such a beautiful girl fell into your arms, are you like this?!" The pink fist hit her repeatedly, and Cortner blushed, "I don't want to care about you anymore!"

Although Cortner usually seems carefree, she is not the kind of person who is particularly open-minded. She finally mustered up some courage and was hit, and now she is getting angry.

"You are such an adult, why are you still acting like a child, stop making trouble."

Len has never been able to do anything about Cortna, and most of the time he can only let it go, especially after knowing that she was seriously injured while fighting for the scarlet orb.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

She closed her eyes and was given a punch. Cortna started to cheat, but Lai grabbed her by the armpits, lifted her up, and placed her directly back on the seat that was still intact.

"Okay, don't make trouble, I'm sorry for the lovely Miss Cortina." Lai sighed secretly as he rubbed Cortina's hair like a child, "Say something to make you happy, how about you? If Leona sees her like this, she may become disillusioned."

"Leona is much more considerate than you, and you still have the nerve to say that?!" As soon as she said this, Cortna frowned, "Quickly tell me, what can make me happy? If you lie to me, I will I'll beat you out and you won't be able to come back again."

"There is really a big event, and it has the most direct relationship with you." When talking about the business, Len became a little more serious, "The measurement results of the Weather Research Institute show that Groudon's power has finally recovered after sleeping for so long. After recovering a little, I plan to take the giant swamp monster and the big-billed gull with me later to talk to this big guy and see if I can use its power to help you make up for the shortcomings in your body."

".You know? I thought."

Cortna froze on the spot, and after a long time, she lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.

"Do you think we don't know you're hiding this from us? You're such a silly girl." She scratched the tip of Cortner's nose and spoke softly, "Not only me, but everyone knows that you've had some health issues over the years. The problem is, only I know the extent of it. However, it can be solved. If that flightless thing is not happy, I will beat it until it is happy."

"You are stupid!. Can it really be solved?"

Cortna felt a little hopeful amid her anxiety.

For more than ten years, she had accepted the reality that her life would be short, and she only wanted to spend as happy a time as possible. She would only feel a little sad in the dead of night.

Now, a new flame of hope has been lit again.

"Of course. Although it's not possible to just rely on that useless thing called Groudon, we haven't been idle and doing nothing these years. Just relax and leave it to me."

Lai nodded and smiled, giving Cortana confidence and peace of mind as always.

"bang"

Then, caught off guard, Cortner swooped down and threw Lai to the ground.

"Don't push me away. Let me hold you for a while, just for a while."
-
More than a hundred kilometers west of Yinyu City, outside an unremarkable mountain cave.

"You are all here." Cortna's eyes were red again, she subconsciously hid behind Lai, rubbed her eyes, and then jumped out with boundless energy as usual, "Humph, don't underestimate me. Me, I'm not that fragile!"

"Of course, that's why we're also here to witness your full recovery, Cortina."

Although he is the champion of the league, Dawu, who often neglects his duties and goes to various places to dig stones for public funds, also made a special trip back this time, and came here to help hold the battle.

"We are comrades fighting side by side, how could there be any reason not to come? Besides, this is an important matter that someone specially told me before retiring, just like an old lady, talking about it endlessly."

Mi Keli, who was very busy every day at the alliance headquarters in Caiyou City, also found time to come over. When he saw Kotna's appearance, he smiled and joked.They are also coordinators who often participate in competitions. Over the years, the relationship between the two has become gradually familiar and close.

"How could we not come about Ketna's matter?"

Yako still has that smiling look. Since she handed over the position of development leader to Risa and became the leader of the White Feather Gym, she has let herself go even more freely, and because she often has the help of the Lizard King, she fishes for three days and two days. Xie Mi, who was posting on the Internet, got together. They came here specifically to help at the critical moment.

"Hello! I'm here to help too, Cortna~"

Furong is full of energy, and the years seem to have left no trace on her body.Beside her, Dark Night Demon and Ecstasy seemed to be still the same, laughing and joking, completely unlike the Ghost Master and Ghost Pokémon.

"Don't look at me. I'm just a retired employee. I'm here to ask someone for a bill and help me make a fortune."

Lila waved her hands, pretending not to care.But behind her, Lei Gong suddenly slammed this duplicity into Lai and Keitena's side.

"Lai told me a few days ago that if that flightless thing doesn't obey, I'll beat it until it obeys. Did you see my fists as big as sandbags?" Huayue chuckled and walked to Cortna's side, looking carefree. He patted his shoulder, but was stopped by a backhand from Cun Jin, "Oh, it hurts, it hurts! Why can't you make a joke?"

"Is this a fist as big as a sandbag?" She smiled evilly and hit Kagyue so hard that her brain collapsed. Cortna teased in the same tone.

"If you can't explain to me what happened some time ago after today, you may have to see a fist as big as a sandbag from me, Cortner."

The plain voice concealed a faint murderous aura.

The graceful body of the Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird appears from the horizon and arrives in an instant.

Naqi jumped down lightly, holding a transparent container in her hand, which contained an unknown liquid.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you!"

Cortna raised her chin like a proud little swan.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started. Please help me keep an eye on it outside. I'll go in and talk to it first. After all, peace is more valuable."

Going forward, he took the container from Naqi, swipe his little finger on Naqi's palm, and Lai blinked at his wife, and said with a smile.

Then, two elf balls were thrown:

"Leave it to you, Swamp Monsters and Big-billed Gulls. Mega evolution!"

Compared with the level that was temporarily reached by various chances and coincidences that day, the giant marsh monster at this moment has already stepped into the range of the top-level gods with its own strength by virtue of the strength and scenery it saw that day.

With an energy level of 90, coupled with the life transformation of mega evolution, even if mega Rayquaza comes in person, the outcome is unpredictable, especially Groudon Kyogre in his normal state.

What's more, behind it, there is the Big-billed Gull, which is only inferior to the two gods of sea and land.

And, a big black head protruding out of the space-time rift, looking closely, there is also a big bead hanging on it.

With sufficient confidence, Lai took the lead and led Ketena into the cave, all the way down, straight to the depths of the leyline where Gulardo was.

"Roar?!"

His powerful and unabashed aura had already awakened the sleeping Groudon before they even met.

The situation was so pressing that it didn't even dare to get up in the slightest. While standing up, it was thinking about who it had offended.

After thinking about it, I found that it seemed a bit too much, and I couldn't count with my fingers.

"Roar!"

The dignity of the God of the Earth cannot be offended.

"Roar"

Groudon was firmly locked to the ground by countless rock pillars with their own energy, and he roared.

"Hey, wouldn't it have been better to have done this earlier? We could have had a good talk like this." Surrounded by more than a dozen Pokémon, Rai sighed softly, "Now, I say, you do it. Cortna is here for The one who was injured in sorting out your mess is your blessing, so you have to cooperate with me to get things done, right?"

"Roar! Roar!"

The immobile and flightless man finally knew what was going on. He nodded repeatedly as he looked at the appearance of Origin Giratina and Mega Swampert, who were not amiable by any means.
-
Three months later, Qiuye Town.

"Kyuubi, use Fire Rain!"

"Minas, the wave of water!"

To celebrate Cortna's recovery, Michaeli put down the work at hand and personally organized a grand glamor contest.

As the finale, after many years, the two once again staged a gorgeous battle of equal strength.

Sparks and water flow collide and mingle in the air.

The fullness of life returned to Cortina's body, making her smile from the bottom of her heart.

Under the stage, Leona, who likes Aunt Cortina the most, kept clapping her hands, her little face flushed with excitement.

"You are very generous. All the improved medicines you have saved over the years have been refined into that jar."

While supporting her daughter, Naqi glanced at her husband next to her who rarely showed the slightest interest in the glamor contest.

"Of course. After all, it's for Ketna. A little medicinal material is nothing." Sensing the slightest danger, Lai quickly smiled and took his wife's hand, "It's been really hard for you during this time, look at your hand. You're all a little stiff, I'll help you 'recuperate' when you go home."

"Irregular."

Although they are old couples, the thin-skinned Na Qi is still a little overwhelmed, she turned her head, a lovely pale pink appeared on her cheeks.

"However, this state is still suitable for Cortner. She looks best when she smiles."
-
"Hey, Rai, I want to eat something delicious!"

It was another familiar day, and another day to go to Lai's house for a meal, and Miss Cortina's daily life was like this.

The only difference is that bright and bright smiles are becoming more and more common.
