At sunset, the first day of the Battle Castle's ranking battle came to an end.
The trainers who had been conferred titles walked together in the castle and were still talking enthusiastically.
"Young Kirath's earthquake actually killed Hall Master Chaklo's Strange Jawdragon!"
"After all, it's Mr. Lu's young Kirath …"
"Mr. Lu's strength can be seen from his training foundation."
The afterglow plated the Battle Castle with a layer of gold. Beautiful ripples appeared on the surface of the fountain as maids walked through the corridor.
Lu Ye looked at the courtyard from the balcony on the second floor. He recalled the culture of the Carlos region and was not surprised.
In the Pokémon World, there were small kingdoms such as Oludurang City and Mitina City. King AZ was a well-known figure in the Carlos Family.
Lu Ye was slightly lost in thought as he stared at the dancing flower petals in the garden.
It was said that King AZ tried to use the Ultimate Weapon to summon back his beloved flower petals, but the war caused by the Ultimate Weapon destroyed everything. The resurrected flower petals left King AZ in disappointment, and King AZ was in great pain. Because of the radiation of the Ultimate Weapon, King AZ obtained eternal life and could not ask for death. He had been wandering from ancient times until now, from a king to a vagrant on the streets of Carlos.
"What a romantic and sad story."
Lu Ye and Geng Gui looked at the castle's garden together. Fairy Ibu stretched out a ribbon and wrapped it around his arm, sharing the sadness of the evening.
Footsteps came from behind. Butler Yi Kong wore a monocle and said respectfully,
"Marquis Lu Ye, do you still want to participate in tomorrow's ranking battle?"
Lu Ye calmed down and asked curiously, "How many days does the ranking battle last?"
"The ranking battle is held once a month and lasts for three days. There will be other trainers visiting the Battle Castle tomorrow."
The butler said, "You can stay in the castle temporarily. Everything has been arranged."
Lu Ye wanted to ask how this Battle Castle was earning money.
Since there were champions, Four Heavenly Kings, and other trainers visiting, there would naturally be no lack of benefits.
Lu Ye nodded and said, "I'll be randomly assigned tomorrow.
"I'll be randomly matched again tomorrow. Sorry to trouble you."
"In fear and trepidation. I will arrange for a challenger of the same rank for you. "The butler bowed and said," There will be someone to lead you to your room. I will take my leave first. "
Under the guidance of the Victorian-style maid, Lu Ye settled down in the room of the battle castle.
The interior decoration style was suitable for the atmosphere of the battle castle.
Lu Ye lay down on the soft sofa and dialed Sirona's number.
After the call was connected, a soft and magnetic voice sounded from the other end.
"How do you feel about the castle?"
"I'm not used to it." Lu Ye said, "But at least we won a promotion battle."
"How many more days will it take?"
"If all goes well, I'll become a Duke and head to the He Zhong District."
Lu Ye glanced at the young Kirath who was watching Pokeby play the game.
"One more thing."
"What is it?"
"Young Kirath is about to evolve."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Sirona said softly, "Regardless of whether it evolves or not, the bond with Pokémon won't change."
Lu Ye couldn't help but smile and say, "That's about the same as what I said."
They chatted for a long time.
Sirona mentioned that Cattleya had been depressed recently and that her superpowers had nearly gone berserk several times.
"A few game consoles exploded again," Sirona said with a headache.
"Heh." Lu Ye curled his lips and laughed.
It was just the wailing of a defeated golden retriever!
After hanging up, Lu Ye looked at the young Kirath and happened to meet its gaze.
"Yoji?" The young Kirath blinked blankly.
Lu Ye took out the Stone of Invariance that he had prepared in advance and looked at the young Kirath seriously.
"There's a decision that you need to make personally."
As if sensing Mr. Lu's serious expression, the room fell silent as the little ones secretly sized him up.
"Regardless of whether it evolves or not, my attitude won't change. So, let me know more about your intentions, young Kirath. "
"Yoji …" The young Kirath sized up Lu Ye's expression.
It had only been a few months since it was born, but the young Kirath was exceptionally sensible and had amazing battle results. It had the record of single-handedly killing the Mega Soul-Hooking Eye. (Food Chain Suppression)
But that was not enough.
The young Kirath still wanted to protect everyone more and grow into a reliable combat force in the team.
"Yoji!" The young Kirath's gaze gradually became firm. It shook its head and took half a step back toward the Stone of Invariance.
You have to continue to become stronger, young Kirath!
Lu Ye was slightly stunned. He sensed the thoughts transmitted by the 'superpower' and his mood was complicated.
He clearly felt a chill down his spine and knew that the risk of tearing down the house had increased exponentially.
But he actually felt inexplicably happy!
Perhaps this was because the young Kirath was thinking for himself and the little ones.
Even if there was a deviation in its understanding, no one needed its protection at all.
However, the young Kirath's starting point and strong desire still deeply moved Mr. Lu.
"Koujie ~ ~ (; ́ Д `/)" Geng Gui held a small handkerchief in his mouth. His eyes were filled with tears, and his expression was moved.
The younger generation had also grown up ~
"Ga!! (́ `/*) σ "The green onion ranger's face was full of tears.
As expected of the hatchling I hatched. Well done, young Kirath!
"Kouya … ~ (■ ■ _ ■)" The Water Arrow Turtle pushed its sunglasses and looked at the young Kirath.
Although it was better to numb the opponent in the early stage, but … forget it, I respect your choice!
Lothom's illustration book lit up with a 'tearful' emoji.
"Beep beep … Long live understanding, Loto ~ o (T.TO)"
"Boo …"
The fairy Ibu's azure blue eyes flickered as it stared at the young Kirath who was eager to become stronger. It was as if it saw the Ibu under the meteor shower …
It saw that the young Kirath had made its choice.
Lu Ye smiled slightly and said,
"Do your best in tomorrow's competition, young Kirath."
The young Kirath nodded vigorously. Its eyes were awe-inspiring, and its aura as a Quasi God was undoubtedly displayed.
"Yoji! (▼ ∀ ▼ ∀) "
**
Carlos, against the castle.
The twilight was getting darker. The wild grass in the distance was blowing, and a group of mounts and lambs were lying low.
Violet raised her SLR camera in excitement. A figure suddenly appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. She looked up and was shocked.
"Chaklo? What are you doing climbing up so high! "
"Rock climbing," Chaklo did not have any protective measures and replied calmly.
Violet's expression was complicated. She said, "I really have to hand it to you …"
Violet and Chaklo had fought against each other several times as they were both "Counts" against the castle. They knew each other's temperament relatively well.
Logically speaking, rock climbing was not only Chaklo's hobby, but it was also a warm-up preparation for the battle.
"Hasn't your ranking tournament already ended?" Violet asked.
Chaklo jumped down from the wall, clapped his hands, and said helplessly, "Actually, it's another matter —"
He told him about how he wanted to give the badge to Mr. Lu but did not know where to start. He said,
"I don't have a suitable reason to give the badge to Mr. Lu."
"In other words, if he were to invite me to a full-on battle in person, that would be terrible …"
Just one young Kirath could wipe out two of his main forces.
Although Chaklo did not understand the gap between himself and Mr. Lu in a full-on battle, he was greatly shocked.
Giving the badge to him directly was better than having Pokémon come knocking on his door to challenge him, or being carried away in an all-out battle …
"That's about the situation," Chaklo sighed.
Violet thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea."
"What?"
"Why don't you express the badge to the coffee shop in Miale?"
Violet said, "Mr. Lu's coffee shop that hasn't opened yet … It already has some reputation in Miale."
"I see."
Chaklo suddenly understood. He took out the "rock wall badge" in the shape of a "wall" and said,
"This is not a bad idea!"
…
June 28th, Monday.
The next day of the ranking battle.
Because it was a workday, there were fewer trainers in the castle than yesterday, but there were still many people who arrived at the castle.
Among them, Kerni had yet to leave the castle.
In the cafeteria of the battle castle.
Kerni's long yellow hair was tied into a ponytail. She covered her mouth and yawned.
"Good morning, Master."
"Didn't sleep well?"
"I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night when I thought about the battle with Miss Violet today."
Kerni sat down in front of Lu Ye and said.
"That's too exaggerated," Lu Ye said as he sipped his coffee.
"Not at all! It's said that the powerful Wave Messenger can use meditation to replace sleep! "
Kerni widened her eyes to distinguish. Her serious expression and the blood vessels in the whites of her eyes could be seen.
"This is the first time I've heard of it," Lu Ye said, "I'll give it a try when I go back."
Kerni was stunned for a moment.
That's right … Mr. Lu is also a Wave Messenger —
Trying to use her weak Wave Guide, Kerni probed Mr. Lu in front of her. Her expression suddenly froze.
The gap between them was too big. It was a blow to her confidence!
Kerni chewed her bread sullenly.
Lu Ye said, "Can you let me see your Lucario?"
"Of course." Kerni agreed readily. She pressed the Pokeball, and a beam of white light immediately flew out. The outline of Lucario appeared.
"Lucario!" Lucario's expression was cold, like a loyal guard. His eyes were bright red.
Lu Ye tried to sense it with the Power of Super and said helplessly, "Lucario, you have a physical attack.
"There's no need to use meditation to farm special attack points for Lucario's physical attack … Next time, I'll try using" bodybuilding "and" sharpening "."
"Huh?" Kerni was stunned. She realized that her Lucario was indeed different from her grandpa's Lucario.
According to Master, it might really work …
While Kerni was deep in thought, Lu Ye casually used the Power of Wave Guide on Lucario. The latter squinted his eyes in pleasure.
Kerni called out, "Lucario?"
"Lucario!" Lucario's face suddenly tensed up and became serious again.
The waveguide that originated from the World Tree was a rather pure and kind energy to most Pokémon.
As for the messenger that used the Power of Wave Guide, it was hard to say if it was pure or not …
Lu Ye coughed lightly and said, "Are there any other dojo masters coming today?"
Yesterday, he had only harvested one badge.
Mr. Lu was secretly delighted.
It seemed that he didn't have to worry about Violet and Chaklo, the Bug Badge, and the Rock Badge!
Kerni thought for a moment and said, "Well … It seems that there's a dojo master coming from afar. He's Mr. Defu from Yingxue City."
Almost every generation had a town and dojo covered in snow and ice.
In the Carlos area, Yingxue City was a small town that snowed all year round. The dojo master was the old but hale Mr. Defu.
Kerni said respectfully, "Mr. Defu is the eighth dojo master of Carlos … He's a hot-blooded trainer who's good at guiding newcomers and stimulating their strength!"
"Does he have a Blizzard King?" Lu Ye asked.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Kerni, Lu Ye understood.
In the anime, this was the ice-type dojo master who used the Mega Blizzard King to fight against the small intelligence version of Mega Ninja Frog.
He looked strong on the outside and had a soft heart. Defu was known as "hot and thick ice." Compared to Uncle Liu's almost unreasonable and strict guidance, Desfu was more favored by trainers.
Although the ice-type had many weaknesses, it was also an attribute that had a wide range of attack. It could be called a sharp double-edged sword.
Lu Ye thought of Uncle Liu and Auntie Kona's "Ice Dolls" and couldn't help but sigh.
"By the way, Master."
Kerni whispered, "Mr. Defu is also a Marquis. You might be matched with him."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned and muttered, "It doesn't matter.
"It doesn't matter, just don't give me the 'Iceberg Badge' …"
"How is that possible! Of course, the dojo master will give out badges to favored trainers. This is a tradition ~ "Kerni laughed.
Lu Ye: "…"
Lu Ye: "I remember … Caidou's seniority is one generation higher than yours. You have to call her Senior Sister."
Kerni: "???"
That's my old enemy … You actually have to call her Senior Sister?
Kerni's cheeks flushed red. For a moment, she didn't know what to think.
A maid walked to Lu Ye's side and said in a low voice,
"Marquis Lu Ye, your random opponent is ready."
"Which trainer?"
"It's Mr. Defu from Yingxue City."
The dark ball at his waist swayed. Lu Ye could feel the little guy's strong fighting spirit.
He closed his eyes and recalled the little guy's resolute and domineering eyes.
Lu Ye nodded gently and replied,
"I'm ready too."
