Compared to those dazzling geniuses, Manchong seems to be constantly following their backs.
Manchong did not ask for a special edition illustrated book, even though that was what he deserved.
Being able to fight with Ruby, or to help those dazzling geniuses, was already quite satisfying.
"I wonder what happened to Manchong after he returned to Hoenn."
Lu Ye took a sip of champagne and fell into deep thought.
"That child is actually not inferior to others..."
Seeing this, Violet did not disturb Mr. Lu who was deep in thought, and thought:
"Did Korni just hand the badge to Teacher Lu?"
Sure enough, it was just as I thought.
Violet nodded in satisfaction.
Send the "Bug Badge" of the Baidan Gym along with the photo to Teacher Lu by express delivery, so he won't have to make another trip!
…
In the chat group, Teacher Lu uploaded a photo.
Teacher Lu: [Picture]
Qinglu had traveled to Kalos before and identified it: "Battle Castle?"
"Ranked battle against the castle." Lu Ye said, "I've been matching for half an hour, and I can't find anyone to match with."
"Maybe he gave up automatically after seeing that his opponent was you." A'du complained.
Lu Ye: "Then you have to open it first, so that I can get the right score."
Qinglu said: "Teacher Lu, you can choose to challenge by name, which is almost a medieval duel."
Xiba said solemnly: "I'm afraid others would rather be ridiculed than accept the challenge."
"This is the effect of a trainer's reputation." Adu shrugged.
Lu Ye was stunned: "So I am already so famous?"
A'Du's expression was complicated. This was not a famous—
Except for those hot-blooded idiots, no normal person would challenge the champion unless it is absolutely necessary!
While the water group was flowing, the butler Yikong walked over slowly and said respectfully:
"Count Lu Ye, the ranking battle can begin immediately."
Lu Ye was surprised and asked: "Have you already picked your opponent randomly?"
The butler nodded and said, "You are playing against Earl Chaklo, who has the same rank as you. The rules are a 2v2 singles match. In the ranking match, the winner will be promoted to "Marquis."
"The reward you inquired about, the 'Banjiras Evolution Stone', requires the title of Duke. There is also a special reward for being promoted to Duke. I wonder if you are interested."
"What?"
"It's a Z-type crystal from the Alola region," the butler said politely. "According to the collection room, it's a highly versatile general-type Z. In addition to offensive moves, it also has common general-type moves such as Z Shadow Clone and Z Sing."
Lu Ye looked strange.
I haven't got the Brilliant Stone yet, but I've already arranged for the Z-pure Crystal...
He had come here for the Duke in the first place, and the Z-pure crystal was nothing more than an unexpected gain, so it was no problem for it to be thrown into the Gengar version of storage space and collect dust.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yikong." Lu Ye said, "Please arrange a fight for me."
"Of course." The butler pressed his hand to his chest, "Before the battle, please change into duel clothes."
This is the tradition of the Battle Castle.
Both sides in the battle need to change into formal attire, such as dresses and robes.
Lu Ye changed into a red and gold thread robe, which made him look extraordinary. Walking in the castle courtyard was like walking in the duke's back garden.
The battle field in the castle's backyard is located in the center surrounded by canals. Trainers are located on three sides of the field, and on the other side is a pavilion on the second floor of the castle.
The river was glittering. Korney and Violet stood on the bridge and looked out. A trainer whispered:
"That earl is Mr. Lu..."
"It seems to be a tradition to train new members."
"The Battle Castle is also considered a baby cup..."
The trainers looked confused, but no one was willing to risk their dignity and honor by challenging Mr. Lu to a duel.
During the fight, Teacher Lu took out a Mega Gengar. Who could resist this
Lu Ye stood at one side of the venue.
On the other side, Chaklo, with a dark face, was climbing on the second floor of the castle, tentatively trying to climb over to the balcony on the first floor.
"Mr. Chaklo, are you... too persistent?" Korni asked Violet in a low voice.
"For me, I am thankful that my hobby can become my job."
Violet said helplessly:
"Chucklo is a man who regards rock climbing as his life!"
clatter!
Chaklo landed successfully, and accompanied by his butler, he put on a red robe and came to the battle site.
"Teacher Lu, I have heard a lot about you."
Chaklo said seriously, with his hair shaped like chocolate ice cream.
The atmosphere was very serious, but Lu Ye suppressed his smile and said with a dry cough:
"Nice to meet you."
"I heard that you opened a cafe in Miare City." Chaklo licked his lips and sighed, "I am quite interested in desserts, but I need to control my body shape so that I can do rock climbing better."
Unexpectedly, Chaklo had such an anecdote. Lu Ye casually asked, "What do you usually think about when you are rock climbing?"
"What are you thinking about..."
Chaklo paused and said, "Think about climbing the next mountain, because the mountain will always be there."
Carlos's owner is really not doing his job properly...
Lu Ye thought: "But maybe being a trainer is just a side job."
“Now, there are mountains to try to climb.”
Chaklo's eyes narrowed, and he threw the Poké Ball: "Go, Onix!"
Boom!
With a dull thud, the huge Rock Snake fell to the ground, shaking the entire castle.
The trainers present let out muffled shouts.
"Chaklo's Rock Snake is good at rock blocking and is one of its trump cards."
Violet had fought with Chaklo several times before, and said helplessly, "I can't beat that guy anyway."
Korni smiled and said, "For the master, I'm afraid he's already thinking about his next opponent."
The dark ball on the side of the waist began to shake.
Lu Ye looked up at Onix with a complicated mood.
Will the food be served right away
The gift may be small but the sentiment is great.
Lu Ye shook his head, threw the dark ball, and said:
"Go ahead, young Kiras!"
"Yoji~! (?﹃?)"
Young Kiras looked up at Onix, his hands placed on its red scales, looking reserved and well-behaved.
Onix's pupils shrank in a human-like manner, and it felt fear out of instinct, letting out a low roar:
"Roar..."
Chaklo yelled, "Onix, after rock grinding, use rock block!"
gleam—
The giant rock snake shook its head to dispel its fear. The rock on its body surface glowed with crystal light, and the uneven edges were instantly smoothed out.
The air resistance was greatly reduced, and Onix's speed was dramatically increased. It whizzed through the stadium and plowed a tunnel on the ground!
Boom!
As Onix moved, large chunks of rock fell from the sky and smashed down on Little Kiras, forming a stone fortress that blocked and buried Little Kiras!
The movement route of young Kiras was almost instantly blocked, making it difficult for him to launch an effective attack on the speeding Onix.
The trainers present were all amazed by this combination of moves.
"It's the same trick again. What a headache." Violet held her forehead and said.
Lu Ye: "Young Kiras, bite it to pieces!"
The "rock blockade" began to shake and tremble, and then shattered in front of Chaklo's astonished eyes!
"Crushing... Why can it break the rock blockade?"
Chaklo looked toward the field.
"Yoji... (￣~￣)" Young Kiras chewed up the rocks on the bottom layer and jumped out of the "Rock Blockade". He picked up a piece of rock made of rock energy and bit it with a "crunch".
Onix: o((⊙﹏⊙))o
Young Kiras: (?ω?)
Chaklo was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Onix, Iron Tail!"
The best way to eliminate fear is to face it.
The Onix raised its head and roared, its long tail gathered sharp metallic white light and suddenly smashed towards the direction of young Kiras!
"Dragon Dance, dodge and then use Earthquake!!" Lu Ye said.
The Iron Tail whistled in, and the huge steel tail's accuracy was extremely worrying, but it could easily hit enemies behind the "Rock Blockade".
This was exactly Chaklo's tactic, but young Kiras completely disrupted his tactical intentions!
Young Kiras spun to avoid the rumbling iron tail, which slammed heavily into the ground, stirring up smoke and creating gullies.
"Yoji! (▼へ▼メ)"
Young Kiras's eyes suddenly became stern, his aura rose like a tyrannical king, he slammed his fist heavily on the ground, the rumbling earthquake turned into a shock that swept over, the pupils of the towering Rock Snake contracted, there was no escape!
boom!!
The entire battle castle shook.
Young Kiras jumped onto Onix's body and headbutted it with a single attack, taking away Onix with the "strong" attribute!
The trainers present had different expressions.
"You haven't evolved yet... but you can have this kind of power?"
"This is the Pokémon that Mr. Lu cultivated!"
"Onix has lost its ability to fight."
The butler turned around and said, "Count Chaklo, please send out the next Pokémon."
Chaklo was not too surprised. He nodded, took a deep breath, threw the Poké Ball and said:
"Please, Oddjaw!"
