The Miare Conference came to an end, and the long and drawn-out journey through the Carlos Alliance was about to come to an end.
Xiaozhi, who had become the champion of the conference, was ready to challenge the king of the Carlos Alliance. His first opponent was Yan Kai, the Steel Heavenly King.
Since the king seat had been decided, Yan Kai wouldn't show any mercy, and Xiaozhi's chances of winning were slim.
But even if he didn't become a king, it was still the beginning of a new journey.
For Xiaozhi, he had already achieved his goal of reaching the top of the Miare Conference with the Koga ninja frog.
The members of the chat group congratulated Xiaozhi on his victory.
"It wasn't easy, Xiaozhi." Xiao Gang sighed with emotion.
"It's rare that Xiaozhi hasn't given up after losing six conferences," Xiao Huang said.
Xiaozhi scratched his head and said, "Hehe, because my dream is to become a Pokémon master."
Zhu Lan smiled and encouraged him. "I believe you and Pikachu can definitely do it."
Xiaozhi sent a [Pikachu rubs his cheeks] emoji.
"Xiaozhi, you still have a long way to go. Keep up the good work," Cyan Green said coldly.
"Yes!" Xiaozhi replied loudly.
"Not bad, little brother!" Akin wiped the tip of his nose and grinned. "You're half as good as me!"
Christa reminded him, "I don't think you've participated in any of the Alliance Conferences."
"Aiya, I'm just giving the younger generation a chance." Akin waved his hand.
Little Silver exposed him. "It's clearly because you can't gather all the badges, so you're not qualified to challenge."
Akin: "Shut up!"
Uncle Liu was in charge of the eighth dojo in the city!
It would be strange if he was willing to give the badges to me in the dojo competition!
Mr Lu's thoughts ran wild.
Some illustrated handbook holders had participated in six conferences and won the championship as veterans.
Some illustrated handbook holders weren't even qualified to participate in the Alliance Conference. I won't say who they are …
Daigo was a little disappointed. Ai Lan and Xiangtai were both juniors he had high hopes for.
But both of them had displayed talent and strength. In the finals, Mega Spitting Dragon X fought against the Restraining Ninja Frog, and Daigo was full of praise.
"Keep up the good work, Xiaozhi." Daigo smiled. "If you can defeat Heavenly King Yankai, you will become the new Heavenly King of the Carlos Alliance."
"It's most likely a Heavenly King with flying abilities," Mr. Lu said.
Akin's Elemental Perception could not control his hands: "Imperial Dragon Ferry."
Adu: "?"
[Group member 'Akin' has been muted by administrator 'Imperial Dragon Du' for 24 hours.]
Putting aside the strength of the lineup, Xiaozhi's own level as a trainer was still far from that of a Heavenly King.
However, if he lost the challenge to the Heavenly King and the champion went to Aurora to cultivate, it would be a good story.
After the Miare Conference, it would soon be the finals of the Triple Crown Satellite Competition. Serena and Musashi would both be present.
As a newcomer, it was very rare for Sis Serena to advance to the finals of the Master Group in her first competition.
Mr. Lu really hoped that she could win the title of "Carlos Queen," but he had to admit that the other contestants had their own experience and advantages. Even Musashi came from a family of coordinators, so his acting skills were more solid than Serena's.
Besides, it might not be a bad thing for Serena to switch from being a performer to a coordinator.
The winter was long. Snowflakes were falling from the sky in Miare City. Little arrow sparrows perched on the bare treetops, their gazes reflecting the trainers and their Pokémon.
Geng Gui was wearing a scarf and walking happily with a big paper bag of ingredients in his arms.
Lu Ye was wearing a scarf and a dark trench coat. He did not have a cane, but his wrist was tied with Fairy Ibu's ribbon. The little guy walked with his head held high, not even looking at Lu Ye.
When they passed by the alley, the Miare Gang, a group of sneaky gangsters, looked over and saw Fairy Ibu. Their faces changed drastically, and they suddenly turned their heads, their bodies trembling.
Sh * t … Don't tremble, don't make a sound, don't let that pink devil see you!
After Mr. Lu and Fairy Ibu left, the gangsters let out a long sigh of relief. Their backs were soaked in sweat, and they looked up at the sky.
The gray sky in the alley was like a piece of paper with ink blotted out. Black crows flew past.
"Let's stop," the leader of the gangsters muttered. "I miss my mother and the lava worm in the fireplace at home …"
Back at the coffee shop, Mr. Lu started to prepare lunch.
There would be a match between Musashi and Serena tomorrow.
Then, after Zhu Lan finished her work and took her annual leave, the two of them would set off for Aurora.
The sound of water flowing could be heard. Lu Ye washed the apple fruit and took a bite.
"Merlot ~ ♪"
Merlot held a small guitar and floated in the air, sweeping the strings. The other Pokémon surrounded it, listening with sparkling eyes.
The phone on the washing table vibrated. Lu Ye glanced at it, waved his hand, and turned on the projector.
"Cyan Green champion, what's the matter?"
Cyan Green was not a talkative person. Mr. Lu rarely contacted him, and this was the first time he took the initiative to contact him.
"Just call me Cyan Green." He went straight to the point. "Mr. Lu, are you still in the Carlos region?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye bit into the apple fruit and nodded.
Cyan Green frowned slightly and said, "Previously, I defeated the Flash Team in the Carlos region, but Interpol contacted me and said that a scientist from the Flash Team who was on the run caused trouble again."
"His name is Kuthloski, an extremely paranoid inventor. He's good at using the Squid King's hypnotic beam." Cyan Green said in a low voice, "I'm not in the Carlos region now. I've already asked Little Zhi to investigate, but I'm worried that he's too rash … So, please pay more attention to Little Zhi and Kuthloski. This is my presumptuous request."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned. Kuthloski's appearance appeared in his mind. He was a fat man wearing red tactical sunglasses.
In the game's plot, he invented the "E Combat Suit," and humans who put on the "E Combat Suit" were similar to Kamen Rider.
In the anime, he tried to use the "negative energy" generated by the ultimate weapon to cause plants to grow crazily, which indirectly caused Little Zhi's version of the Koga Ninja Frog to leave the team.
"I'll pay more attention." Lu Ye nodded.
With such a dangerous person running around, Mr. Lu was also very troubled as an "agent."
"Sorry to trouble you." Cyan Green thanked him.
"It's nothing." Lu Ye smiled.
The clue to track down Kuthloski was provided by the "handsome guy" from Interpol.
This was an old acquaintance. He had worked together with Mr. Lu in Shenao, He Zhong, and other places.
He opened a detective agency in Miale. It gave people the feeling that it was a "Maori Detective Agency," where trouble would happen wherever he went.
With nothing to do, Lu Ye rode the "sword and shield" bicycle to Red Square in the afternoon.
The motorcyclists on the road were dumbfounded as they stared at the back of the motorcyclist.
Stopping by the side of the road, the motorcyclist took out his phone expressionlessly.
"Miss Junsha? I want to report someone for speeding … "
"He doesn't have a license plate. Yes, it's a bicycle. Hello? Hello! "
…
Red Square, Handsome Detective Agency.
The grayish-white wallpaper, dark green potted plants, the decoration was old, and the printer made a "dudu" sound.
The computer wallpaper was a professional team in a suit. Upon closer inspection, they were all the same person.
A blue-eyed girl with black curly hair and a weak figure was hiding behind the wall with a tea tray in her arms. She peeped at the rare customer of the agency.
Lu Ye and the "handsome guy" sat on two sofas facing the sun. The two of them drank coffee and chatted about the past.
"In the blink of an eye, it's been half a year."
The "handsome guy" couldn't help but say, "You've already become a Legend, Officer Lu Ye."
Mr. Lu seemed to have the words "Officer Mu Mu" above his head. He sighed.
"The last time we met was the last time."
The "handsome guy" was slightly stunned. He sipped his coffee and said seriously,
"I heard about your deeds in Desert City. No matter what, you're a hero who saved the entire city and even the world."
Lu Ye fell silent.
He had already died once.
At that time, he didn't think about righteousness or mission. It wasn't that he had to do it, but that he could only do it.
If it happened again, Mr. Lu would never let himself and Geng Gui be in danger. He would have to let Geng Gui risk his life to protect him.
But there were no ifs. Mr. Lu only wanted to continue living with his Pokemon and Meng Meng. Even if he became a Legend, he still had a conflicted and determined side in his heart.
"I'm going to retire." Lu Ye said, "He Zhong, Fengyuan, Donghuang, Carlos … I've seen many legends and witnessed many moments, but now, I feel tired."
Reminiscence flashed across the "handsome guy's" weathered face. He moved his lips and said,
"Aren't you going to continue being a trainer?"
"On the contrary."
Lu Ye raised a cheerful smile. His strong jawline was soft, and his teeth were neat and snow-white.
"I've decided to become a trainer."
The "handsome guy" was slightly stunned and said, "You're the most special trainer I've ever seen. If there's a chance, I hope to work with you again."
"There's a chance now."
Lu Ye stopped smiling and said seriously, "I'm here on a commission to investigate the case of Kuthlowski."
Crack! There was a crisp sound of something breaking.
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound. The weak black-haired girl was at a loss. The porcelain shattered all over the ground.
"I … Mr. Handsome …" the black-haired girl stammered.
"I'll take care of it, Maggie," the "handsome guy" said. "Delinquent Frog, help clean it up."
Delinquent Frog staggered. It was obvious that he could no longer fight, but his life skills were maxed out. He cleaned the pottery shards and comforted Maggie with a smile.
Maggie nodded helplessly. She looked up at the "handsome guy" and stammered, "I-I'll go stay in the kitchen with Meow Rong."
The black-haired girl hurriedly turned around and disappeared from sight.
Lu Ye was silent, waiting for the "handsome guy" to speak. He picked up his coffee cup, his gaze deep.
"Her name is Maggie, a victim of Kuthlowski's case."
Lu Ye crossed his fingers and listened quietly.
The girl's past slowly unfolded. Maggie lost her parents when she was young and was homeless. She accompanied Miaomiao and Meow Rong in an alley. Maggie didn't subdue Miaomiao because she didn't have the money to buy Pokeball. However, Miaomiao was like family to her.
She was kind-hearted and tenacious. The delinquent group, the Miale Gang, admired Maggie and saw her as their spiritual pillar.
During an investigation, the "handsome guy" came into contact with Maggie and took her in as a part-time worker in the law firm. Because she didn't receive a formal education, the "handsome guy" taught her how to read and write.
While living in the law firm, Maggie gradually felt that she was a burden to the "handsome guy," so she went to look for a part-time job without telling the "handsome guy." Unknowingly, she participated in Kuthlowski's Combat Suit E test. However, she was controlled by the Combat Suit E and went around doing evil under the alias of Aspley. In the end, she was rescued by the "handsome guy."
"That child … was born at the end of her life and yearned for the light. It was Meow Rong who saved her. "
The "handsome guy" stroked his chin and recalled, "Kuthlowski was also a very strange guy. He gave the Combat Suit E to Maggie while crying. He said that he had achieved his lifelong dream and that he had no regrets even if he was arrested. The Combat Suit E is still in Maggie's custody. It has no side effects and is used to maintain the peace of Miale City. "
"It sounds like a story of a righteous hero," Lu Ye said.
"Maybe." The "handsome guy" smiled and said solemnly, "But no matter the reason, we have to arrest Kuthlowski."
Lu Ye nodded slightly. The light gold "Superpower" sensed the delicate emotions and smiled.
"She seems to see you as her father, Mr. Handsome."
"Father … I'm only forty years old. I'm in my prime!" the "handsome guy" shouted.
"That's too much." Lu Ye could not help but laugh. "In short, leave this case to me."
The "handsome guy's" wrinkles relaxed and he nodded solemnly. "Sorry to trouble you, Sir."
Lu Ye stood up and looked down at the pokeball in his palm.
It was undeniable that there were idealists like N in this world, ambitious people like Quequis, and there were also people like Maggie who symbolized the cruelty of reality.
However, they were all extremely "pure."
Akroma, who pursued the limits of science, the "handsome guy" who was dutiful, the kind and tenacious Maggie …
Lu Ye closed his eyes.
The "Superpower" in his vision extended golden threads and firmly entangled Maggie, Miaomiao, and the "handsome guy."
That was a bond.
Before leaving the firm, the "handsome guy" suddenly received a call. Lu Ye told him not to send him off.
As they walked down the stairs, Maggie called out to Lu Ye, "Um, sir."
Lu Ye turned his head. The black-haired girl bit her lower lip and said, "Those records were violated by me.
Please … don't pursue the matter with Miaomiao and the "handsome guy" … You can arrest me … "
"That's Kuthlowski's fault."
Lu Ye put on his sunglasses and said calmly, "Do you know about the training school, Maggie?"
"School is a place to learn, right?" Maggie said. "Uncle Handsome taught me."
"You can go to the training school to further your studies. It's not too late now," Lu Ye suggested.
Maqi Elle hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said,
"With Miaomiao by my side and the E Combat Suit … I want to stay by Uncle Handsome's side, inherit his justice, and become an official assistant of the firm."
"I see."
Lu Ye smiled. "Good luck. Also, your Miaomiao is very cute."
Miaomiao hid behind Maggie's legs and looked at Mr. Lu in fear. Sensing the strange affinity of the waveguide, she was slightly startled and retracted her head.
"Goodbye, sir!" Maggie stood at the stairs and waved her hand.
Lu Ye's back was facing Maggie. He reached out his hand and said,
"Kuthlowski … If we arrest him in advance, Ninja Frog won't have to leave the team."
…
The next day, the finals of the Triple Champion Satellite Competition began.
Serena and Musashi completed a perfect performance. Serena's fairy, Ibu, stunned the audience even more.
Unfortunately, Carlos Queen's performance was still stable. She was more experienced than the other two and successfully defended her title.
Musashi was so angry that she stomped her feet. However, with her advanced performance concept, her performance could be said to be very good.
"Okay, okay, calm down!" Kojiro comforted her.
"Those judges were blind, meow ~" Miaomiao said.
"I'm so pissed off. But first place isn't too bad, hahaha ~" Musashi laughed.
Kojiro and Miaomiao were sweating.
This guy was not depressed at all.
Serena had to settle for third place, but she had done her best. With Rika's encouragement, she decided to think about her future.
Should she stay with Xiaozhi or continue traveling?
Xiaozhi, who had become the champion of the competition, challenged King Yankai. The score was 3: 6.
Xiaozhi's trainer level still needed to be improved. He had not become Carlos King, so he decided to continue on the path of "Pokémon Master."
The boy and girl, who both lost, began a battle of Pokémon. Pikachu fought against the Long-Tailed Firefox.
Pikachu fully displayed the professionalism of a "Best Actor" and fought back and forth with the Long-Tailed Firefox. The boys and girls' eyes shone.
The main reason why Mr. Lu liked Pokémon XY was because it depicted the growth of Xiaozhi and the others.
Serena decided to travel alone. As an independent individual, she did not want to be Xiaozhi's audience. She looked forward to reuniting with Xiaozhi as a coordinator in the future.
Mr. Lu, who learned about this from Citron, was a little puzzled.
They had agreed to reunite, but the animation of Sun and Moon and Sword and Shield never returned. Did the scriptwriter forget about Sis Selene?
At the same time, the "handsome guy" also sent a message saying that he had found information about Kuthlos …
…
On the outskirts of Baiqi City, deep in the forest, a strange aura was surging.
The sun shone on the sundial in the distant city, piercing through the fog of the forest and falling on the ground piled with dead leaves.
A green snake-like creature with a black and green body seemed to be made of prismatic scales and five black crown-like protrusions.
The guardian of the ecosystem, Kigold, was in 50% form.
He had not recovered all his energy yet. He sensed that the "negative energy core" under Baiqi City seemed to be pulled by some kind of machine, and a huge vine was about to break out of the ground.
Kigold's eyes were solemn. Suddenly, he was stunned and surprised.
The crazily rising "negative energy" had stopped!
Someone had taken control of the strange traction force!
On the cliff, the fat man wearing red tactical glasses was sweating profusely and kept retreating toward the cliff.
"Don't, don't come over!!" Kuthlos said in horror.
The scene just now was too frightening. Kuthlos did not want to recall it for the rest of his life.
The man in the black trench coat threw away his trench coat and fought with the Squid King with his bare hands.
The Squid King tried to fight back, but it was tied up by the shadow rising from the bottom of its feet. It was one-sided!
"Use the Empty Hand Chop!"
Mr. Lu shouted. His palm blade bloomed with the power of Wave Guide and fell on the Squid King's body, drawing a white line.
The Squid King's eyes widened in disbelief. Its body trembled, and it fell to the ground with a thud, its eyes bulging.
Ku'Serosci swallowed hard.
Knocking down a Pokémon with his bare hands … Was he still human?!
This was the Squid King that could defeat the Dojo Master! It caused great trouble for Officer Jun Sha!
It was knocked down by a few Empty Hand Chop?
"Who, who are you?" Kuthlos stammered.
"A passing trainer. Remember it well."
Lu Ye pointed and said, "Wind Dog, bite it to pieces!"
Kuthlos closed his eyes in horror. When he opened his eyes, the machine he had painstakingly built was being crushed and chewed to pieces by the Wind Dog!
"Awoo!"
The towering Wind Dog lay on the negative energy machine and gnawed back and forth. The machine's light was torn apart and was about to explode!
"Latias, wrap the light wall." Lu Ye snapped his fingers.
Boom!!
The light dissipated in the spherical barrier.
Kuthlos knelt on the ground with a thud and prostrated himself with his hands.
"I plead guilty and confess everything … Please don't come any closer!"
At the foot of the mountain, Xiaozhi and the others had serious expressions.
"Kaga Ninja Frog, can you sense the core of the negative energy?"
"Kuga." Kaga Ninja Frog looked at the top of the mountain.
Yulika hugged Xiao Ruo. Xiao Ruo's expression was ugly. She said worriedly,
"There seems to be something very scary at the top of the mountain! Xiao Ruo is scared! "
"Kaga Ninja Frog, let's go and take a look first!"
Xiaozhi and Kaga Ninja Frog resolutely rushed to the top of the mountain. They were stunned for a moment.
Kuthlos, who was regarded as the final boss of the level, was squatting with his hands on his head, afraid that the other party would attack with his bare hands.
And that familiar figure.
Kaga Ninja Frog's eyes widened. Xiaozhi said in shock,
"Mr. Lu?!"
"Xiaozhi, you're late," Lu Ye said. "Go and get Miss Jun Sha … and …"
Lu Ye sensed a strange fluctuation and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to see Kigard."
Deep in the forest.
Kigard's 50% form: "…"
This oppressive feeling … Would it be better for me to hide first …?
…
Deep in the forest.
Mr. Lu, Xiaozhi, and the others saw Kigard's 50% form, which was accumulating power.
He was called Z2, and Z1 was "Xiao Ruo." Together, the two could maintain the ecological balance of Carlos.
Xiao Ruo jumped down from Zulika's arms and said goodbye to her. It decided to travel with Zulika, who had become a trainer, after Carlos's aura stabilized.
Zulika said goodbye to Xiao Ruo with tears in her eyes.
Kigard was surprised and doubtful. From time to time, he glanced at the black-haired young man with his arms crossed and the grimacing Geng Gui beside him.
Kigard: "…"
It felt that even if he was in 100% form … it would be difficult to win against the two of them …
Due to the changes caused by the negative energy machine, Kigard sent an invitation to Kaga Ninja Frog.
"In the Carlos area, the negative energy caused by the ultimate weapon needs to be dealt with by someone."
Kigard said, "And Kaga Ninja Frog, you have the ability to deal with this negative energy."
"Kuga …" Kaga Ninja Frog's eyes flickered.
Lu Ye: "…"
In the end, Kaga Ninja Frog still had to leave the team.
However, if he didn't leave the team, he would still stay in the courtyard, just like Eldest Senior Brother.
"Leave the negative energy to me."
A hoarse voice sounded.
Xiaozhi and the others turned around at the same time. A tall and burly tramp walked out with the Eternal Flower on his shoulder.
"AZ?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.
AZ nodded slightly and looked at Kigard. He covered his chest with his hand and said,
"The ultimate weapon … I made the mistake, so I will atone for it and bear it."
Kigard looked at the Eternal Flower on AZ's shoulder, then stared at AZ and nodded slightly.
"Indeed, you and the Eternal Flower are more suitable to deal with negative energy."
AZ wasn't a wise king, but he had the responsibility of a king.
Lu Ye smiled.
The story of Carlos started with the King of AZ three thousand years ago and ended with the King of AZ three thousand years later.
What didn't change was the bond between trainers and Pokémon. Eternal Flower, Kaga Ninja Frog …
Lu Ye lowered his head and looked at Geng Gui, who was grinning. The corners of his mouth curled up.
There's also Geng Gui and me.
That's all.
The group walked out of the forest.
Xiaozhi looked up and said, "Are you leaving for Alola tomorrow, Mr. Lu?"
"Yes."
"I'm a ticket back to Guandu tomorrow. I might come to Alola to look for you!" Xiaozhi said.
"There's no need for that," Lu Ye said calmly.
I don't want to be involved in some 'alien beast war with Earth's defense team' incident!
After walking out of the forest, Jun Sha, who was contacted by Xiaozhi, rushed over and arrested Kuthlos, who was tied up tightly.
Mr. Lu and Jun Sha took over. Although she admired him, Jun Sha still did her job and took down the record truthfully.
Jun Sha looked at Lothom's illustration book and said casually,
"By the way, Mr. Lu … did you ride Lothom's bicycle to Red Square this morning?"
Lu Ye asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Jun Sha closed the record and said calmly,
"Your bicycle exceeded the speed limit. Please pay the fine. Thank you for your cooperation."
Mr. Lu:???
