"Lie... Inviting him to participate in the exhibition match can also save a lot of money..."
…
Kanto, golden city.
Snowflakes were floating outside the window, and the houses, streets, and telephone poles were covered with white snow.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the falling snow making a rustling sound.
Inside, the fireplace glows with orange flames.
Lu Ye was wearing a turtleneck sweater and was on a video call with Sonia.
"Wow!" Sonia exclaimed, "Teacher Lu, your house looks so expensive!"
"Uh... it's a long story."
Lu Ye put aside the landlord's matter for the moment and asked with a dry cough, "What on earth is going on with that invitational tournament?"
"Mr. Lotz has posted a petition online and more than 5,000 people have responded and will come to the event to cheer Jon on."
Sonia said with a smile, "After all, it's a free exhibition match and it's also a charity, so everyone is willing to do it!"
"Oh... Then who will fight with Emperor Dan first and play the villain?"
Sonia blinked her green eyes.
"… It's no use trying to be cute. I'm not going to die."
"Please, Mr. Lu! The funding is so little that Dan Di has even paid for several performances himself!"
Lu Ye was slightly stunned: "Shouldn't the Marrokomon Group in Loz be very rich?"
"But the Galar region has just started to develop, and President Ross is too busy to handle it."
Sonia counted on her fingers.
"It's not just about exploring tourism resources, there are also many things to do in terms of industry and infrastructure."
Lu Ye had a complicated expression.
Because Olive was hired by him as his secretary, the development speed of the Marrocomon Group seemed to have slowed down temporarily.
Then the Wujitai Energy Project may also be delayed for a while.
Regardless of Roz's stance, even if something goes wrong, Dandi will resolve it.
Come to think of it... Sakaki was once in charge of Silver Corporation, and even Lusamine had an Ether Foundation.
Galar is indeed a remote and poor place, so poor that it has to have Dandi to advertise.
"You should go find Qibana." Lu Ye rubbed his forehead.
Acting is acting, but with the current team, they are not even enough to fill the gap between Charizard's teeth when fighting against Dan Emperor!
"Teacher Lu..." Sonia clasped her hands together, "Jon's ward also has a lot of your posters, as many as the ones in Dandi!"
"… "
"He is also your fan. Meeting you will inspire him, right?"
"Hmm..."
Lu Ye touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
You must go for sure.
It's just a battle against Dandi, even if Charizard's acting skills explode, the risk is still huge.
What if Blastoise is really on the verge of death, then doesn't it have to go find Ho-Oh to pluck its feathers
"Mr. Lu..."
Just as Lu Ye was thinking, Sonia said in a dry voice.
"You, behind you!"
"Behind me?" Lu Ye turned around and saw a beautiful, fair, and delicate face like a work of art.
"Are we going to Gongmen City?" asked Sirona.
"Well... just these two days." Lu Ye nodded.
Sonia opened her mouth wide as she watched the two people's natural and harmonious conversation.
Why did Miss Sirona appear in Teacher Lu's house
Why, the two of them are so close, almost kissing!
In an instant, everything had an answer.
Sonia said in panic: "Champion Sirona, please listen to my explanation, I am not..."
"Um..." Sirona sat down next to Lu Ye and said with a smile, "Exhibition match, I am also interested in it."
"Can you add me in?"
…
Please help us realize our little wish.
This anonymous post for help was circulated on major forums in Galar.
[Two days later, Dan Di will launch a championship challenge in Gongmen City and compete for a new champion.
The new champion will be crowned in the Gongmen City Arena wearing the champion's cloak.
And on that day, we will welcome a special challenger...]
As the posts continued to ferment, doubts also followed.
"Mr. Dandi, do you really want to let a child inherit the champion's cape?"
"Isn't it embarrassing to ask the champion of Galar to do something like this?"
"How hypocritical! Holding a championship game just for a sick child!"
But more of it is kindness and encouragement.
"I also wanted to be a trainer, but I know that it will never be possible in this lifetime. I hope he can achieve it for me. Come on."
"Who doesn't want to be a trainer, a champion? This is about fulfilling the children's wishes, and also about fulfilling our own wishes."
"We need a strong champion, but we need a human champion even more."
"Only Dantei would do that! Because he is Galar's champion Dantei!"
The impact was so intense that even President Los was a little shocked.
The fundraising channel launched achieved its goal within just a few days.
The people of Galar are grateful for Mr. Dante's outstanding contributions over the years.
In the barren Galar, it seems that only the title of "Strongest Champion" of Emperor Dan can bring comfort to the people.
The Dan Emperor carries a lot, but he has the strength and character to bear it.
This is the responsibility and mission of being a champion.
In the chat group, Du and others also learned the news.
"Roz invited me too." Du sighed slightly, "I want to go to the scene, but the investigator is too busy."
"To be able to compete with Mr. Dan Di and stage a perfect battle..." Xiao Lan fell into deep thought.
"Red won't work." Kona coughed lightly, "Red is too strong."
"Senior Chi and Senior Qinglu are currently training at Silver Mountain." Jin said, resting his head on his arm. "Is Mr. Daigo unable to make it over for the time being?"
"Dawu didn't participate in the last World League." said Yulongdu, who is an Eighth Master, "and he is not very familiar with Dandi."
"So... Teacher Lu?" Xiao Huang said weakly.
The chat group fell silent.
Maybe it's release, maybe it's death.
Teacher Lu seems to have only one team so far.
The former Unova champion Adek also fell from grace for similar reasons.
Asking Mr. Lu to fight against the Dan Emperor who is at the peak of his powers... is a bit too much to ask.
"I've already headed to Gongmen City."
Seeing someone @ him, Lu Ye said.
"With Sirona."
Everyone suddenly realized.
With Shirona's strength, she would not be at a disadvantage even if she fought against the Dan Emperor.
What's more, the relationship between these two people is very close...
Traveling together is also within everyone's psychological expectations.
"When we get to the scene, remember to cheer for that kid for me!" said Ajin.
Xiaoyin closed his eyes and recalled his childhood memory of being kidnapped: "Me too."
A series of '+1's were heard in the group, and a heated discussion began.
On the flight to Galar, Lu Ye put down his phone and looked at the blonde beauty beside him.
"Really, thank you very much." Lu Ye said softly.
“As expected.”
Sirona raised her eyes and tilted her head slightly, her golden hair falling on both sides of her black clothes.
"When I heard you talking about that, I knew you would go." Sirona said with a smile.
"Um?"
"Because you are Teacher Lu."
Sirona smiled, closed her eyes and began to take a nap.
Outside the first-class cabin window, there were white clouds below the plane and the dome was a light blue.
"Sirona."
Lu Ye said seriously.
"I have something to tell you."
"What." Sirona raised her deep gray eyes.
"Geng Gui is my starting Pokémon. I'm not as strong as others think."
"I am afraid of death and I love money. I just want to live an ordinary life."
"I just love these little guys and want to fish and live with them."
"But sometimes... I have moments where I want to win."
Lu Ye looked directly into Sirona's deep eyes.
"Just like this duel with Emperor Dan."
"Regarding my strength and the so-called team..."
Sirona stretched out her finger and put it on Lu Ye's lips.
"As long as you love the elves, that's enough."
Sirona smiled gently.
"Pokemon will pass on their precious emotions to their trainers, and as for becoming stronger..."
Sirona lowered her head.
Geng Gui's eyes were filled with tears: "Kou Jie! ヘ(;?Д｀ヘ)"
Sirona rolled up her golden hair beside her ears and said with a smile:
"It is enough to continue to love... I am like this, nothing else."
