The Cong Youbing suddenly stood firm, opened his bright eyes again, and his scarred yellow mouth curled up into a smile.
Immediately, the Onion Ranger raised his onion and shield, facing Cang Xiang and Kurama Lant, and took a fighting stance! !
Boom!
Cong Youbing fell on his back and fell into a coma.
Cang Xiang and Zangmarant looked at each other, and Zangmarant gently picked up the Cong Youbing and placed it on Cang Xiang's back.
Then, the two walked slowly to the depths of the forest outside the altar.
In addition to Steelix and Gastly, there is also a mysterious Pokémon named Dream Eater living deep in the Wee Forest.
Dream Eater can eat dreams to manipulate dreams, and sneak into dreams to heal Pokémon through "Healing Wish".
The Cong Youbing squeezed his "momentum" to the limit to avoid himself falling into a near-death state, but it caused irreversible damage to his spirit.
Fortunately, the Dream Eater was able to eat up the nightmares of the Onion Soldier and relieve his pain.
When he wakes up, the Cong Youbing will have a hazy dream about the battle just now - it is not amnesia, but a dream that seems real and false, hidden deep in his subconscious.
In addition, the Dream Eater also hid Cong Youbing's overly strong fighting spirit into his subconscious, to prevent his spirit, which was on the verge of limit, from being damaged again and showing a cowardly character.
All of this is hidden deep in dreams, waiting to be explored by Pokémon like Darkrai who can dive into dreams.
Or maybe, when a crisis comes, the green onion soldiers will show their inherent courage.
Cang Xiang and Zang Marant entrusted the Cong Youbing to Shi Mengmeng, nodded slightly, turned around and disappeared into the thick fog.
A brave man is not just someone who is strong.
Knowing that you are unbeatable, but still drawing your sword to fight - that is a hymn to courage.
Deep in the altar, the rotten sword and the rotten shield flickered faintly in the dark, no longer covered by dust.
The next morning.
The green onion soldier slowly woke up.
Birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and the sun is warm. It lies lazily on a big rock, lost in memories.
"Gah... _(:зゝ∠)_"
It seemed like I had a very long dream yesterday.
Hey, how did I evolve? It seems like I evolved in a dream...
It’s really worthy of me!
A week later, Dr. Mulan led the investigation team deep into the Weimei Forest and brought the seriously injured Double Bomb Gas, Steel Armor Crow, and Onion Ranger to the Elf Center.
Afterwards, the first two were sent to the training house and each had a trainer.
Due to the application for "regional morphology research" submitted by the Research Institute of the Demon University Breeding House, the Onion Soldiers were transported to the Demon University Breeding House.
I lazily bask in the sun every day, occasionally instruct Pokémon, and live a leisurely life. I don’t have to worry about food. Raw fish is a worry, but salted fish is a joy.
A separation is always accompanied by another encounter. (Narration)
A sunny day.
Cong Youbing's eyes sparkled in the sun as he stared calmly at a young man with black messy hair.
The black-haired young man suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to Cong Youbing. Cong Youbing was silent for a while and nodded solemnly.
The adventure of the two begins now! (Voiceover)
April 21st.
Coffee shop in Miare City.
"Duck, get ready to go!"
Lu Ye shouted to the green onion soldiers basking in the sun in the courtyard:
"Sonia invited us to Galar, and Zhulan has agreed!"
"Gah~" (I know~)
The Onion Soldier responded lazily, standing quietly under the eaves, holding a scallion and a shield, looking up at the sky.
"Gah... _(:3 ⌒?)_"
It's another beautiful and peaceful day~
Chapter 823: The King of Sword and Shield and Dark Night
Lu Ye had just finished his vacation in Alola and returned to Miare City to stay in a coffee shop for a day.
The store still has its original furnishings, and the waiter manages the coffee shop in perfect order, and the interior is spotless.
Frosty Milk Fairy and Sweet Dancer also specially invited Teacher Lu to taste their newly developed cakes and juices.
On the table was a strawberry cake covered with icing sugar and a glass of colorful iced fresh juice.
Lu Ye held a knife and fork in his hand and raised his eyes. On his left was the uneasy Frosty Milk Fairy, and on his right was the enthusiastic Sweet Dancer.
It seems that if you taste one of them first, you will be sorry for the other Pokémon.
Lu Ye sighed lightly, cut a piece of cake, raised the juice glass, and put them all into his mouth.
Frosty Milk Fairy and Sweet Dancer both opened their ruby eyes wide, looking expectant.
Lu Ye: “…They are all very good.”
In fact, it was too sweet and I couldn't taste the flavor at all.
Frosty Milk Fairy and Sweet Dancer breathed a sigh of relief and left happily.
Lu Ye hadn't had the chance to tell them that he was leaving for Galar today. At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little apologetic and emotional.
I, a hands-off boss, can run my company, coffee shop and other businesses at the same time, all thanks to Olive and the Pokémon.
This trip to Galar was at Sonia's invitation to investigate Galar's brave legends and the 'darkness' phenomenon.
As a mythologist, Sirona had extensive knowledge of myths from all over the world and was quite interested in them, so she gladly accepted it.
Teacher Lu already had plans to go to Galar, so it would be great to have Mengmeng traveling with him.
Regarding the Legend of the Heroes in Galar and the "Dark Night" phenomenon, Teacher Lu has actually read the plot of Sword and Shield and understands it well.
The Galar royal family is not a true hero, Zangmarant and Cang Xiang are the heroes who can solve the "dark night".
And 'dark night'... is actually the astronomical phenomenon caused by the Ultramarine and its Gigantamaxing.
Of course, I must not reveal the spoilers to Zhulan and Sonia. After all, it would be very troublesome to explain.
Another important reason is that Teacher Lu found that many events were very different from the plots he was familiar with.
In case, spoiler alert, it turns out that this is not the case, which would be awkward.
This is equivalent to a free trip.
In between, play a few more Baby Cups… (crossed out) play a few World Championships!
"Duck, get ready to go."
Lu Ye packed his luggage and shouted to the green soldiers who were basking in the sun in the courtyard:
"Solni invited us to Galar, and Zhulan has already agreed."
"Gah~" (I know~)
The lazy cries of the onion soldiers floated over.
This emergency food isn’t excited at all... Galar is its hometown.
Lu Ye looked up at the sky.
Although I don't know how it crossed the ocean and appeared in the Demon University's breeding house.
I think there must be a story behind this.
Now is not the time to think about this. Lu Ye shook his head and checked the time on his phone.
I'm going to the airport now to catch my flight so that I can meet Zhulan during my layover at the Sinnoh League.
"Next travel destination."
Lu Ye's eyes fixed, and he said to himself:
"Galar Region!"
…
The flight took off from Suzuran Island, broke through the thick sea of clouds, and headed for the Galar region.
Shirona was dressed in black, facing Lu Ye, holding a book in her hand, her grey eyes focused.
Lu Ye swiped the screen of his mobile phone connected to the flight's wireless network and glanced sideways.
"Are you reading the legend of Galar?"
"Um... what about you?"
"The official website of the World Championships."
Lu Ye said with emotion, "I thought the Master Ball level was the same as in Pokémon Battle, but I didn't expect there were only eight spots for the Master Ball level."
Sirona closed the book and nodded gently: "The top 1,000 trainers in the world are divided into Super Ball Class, 99th to 9th are Advanced Ball Class, and the eight players in the Master Ball Class are called the 'Eight Masters'."
"No wonder the review procedures are so complicated." Lu Ye said, "Even if a "battle legend" like Chihong has never participated in the World Championship before, if he wants to directly advance to the Master Ball level, he must challenge all the way up... Otherwise, it is equivalent to taking over other people's rankings."
"Chihong, will you also participate in this World Championships?"
"I don't know... I don't think he will show up, but Qinglu will participate, and like me, he will play all the way up from the advanced level." Lu Ye added, "He has never participated in the World Championships before, and he was promoted directly to the advanced level with the championship title."
"I guess Qinglu participated in the competition because of you, trying to avenge his previous shame." Shirona said with a smile.
"Well... I don't rule out this possibility."
"I don't know what other players will think when they see you." Sirona lowered her head and smiled, then raised her deep eyes and asked, "What is your current ranking?"
"Let me see." Lu Ye checked the ranking and showed Zhu Lan his personal ID on the official website. "98th."
Shirona took the phone, tapped it lightly with her slender fingers, and returned the phone to Lu Ye.
Looking down, I saw Sirona's personal ID on the screen.
World ranking: 3rd.
The contrast was so sharp that Lu Ye couldn't help but smile.
Shirona showed a playful look, pursed her lips and said nothing, flipping through the book again, with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.
Strictly speaking, a trainer who can break into the top 100 in the world and reaches the advanced ball level is no longer considered a 'Baby Cup'.
The competition rules for the Advanced Ball level are also more formal than those for the Super Ball and Poké Ball levels.
You can choose any of Mega Evolution, Z Moves, and Gigantamax, but it can only be used once during the entire battle.
At the Master Ball level, the eight masters can challenge the current champion, and they will not drop in rank even if they lose. At the end of the season, the Master Ball level will have a knockout round, and the top eight trainers will compete for the final "champion" title.
The current world championship champion is none other than the strongest king, Emperor Dan.
Adu ranked second, Zhulan ranked third, Daigo ranked fourth, and Chibana ranked seventh.
Teacher Lu is only ranked 98th now. If he loses one game, he will fall out of the top 100. He feels inexplicably sad.
The journey to the baby cup is long and arduous.
As the night deepened, the flight landed in Mecha City in the Galar region.
Jiqing City is a typical industrial city with numerous factories and steam. The gym master is Kawu, a fire expert.
Tonight's accommodation is scheduled to be the Mimosa Luxury Hotel, and Sonia will pick us up at the airport in person.
Lu Ye and Sirona were wearing sunglasses, standing outside the airport lobby, looking at the vehicles coming and going. Lu Ye pondered and said:
"Zhulan... I remembered something."
"Um?"
"This time, Sonia will drive us personally, right?" Lu Ye's face showed a hint of subtlety.
Sirona nodded and said, "That's what she said on the phone. What's wrong?"
