Chapter 57 Unless it's Aizen's acting skills
Chapter 57 Unless it's Aizen's acting skills
In the living room of a beach house.
"Although Aldus is one of the four kings of the Quartz Alliance, unlike Chrysanthemum Champion and the other three kings, he rarely stays in the Quartz Plateau. Instead, he stays with his father, Master Caishen. It feels as if he is not a king of the alliance at all, but his father's bodyguard."
Yishu showed a blackboard, which was filled with information related to the Aldus family, including the bald old man "Cai Shen Ye" who attended the banquet held in Liyue before.
This scene is very similar to the scene in "Give Him Love 5" where the protagonists are planning their action before carrying out the robbery.
At this point, Kazuki smacked his lips and said, "His father is the richest man in Johto and donated a lot of money to the Alliance, and the Alliance turned a blind eye to it."
Kazuki also fully supported the plan to attack Aldus.
He originally joined the gang because he wouldn't be bored staying with Su Sheng.
Take action against the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance?
It sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
"Then we should look for that talented gentleman first?"
Lihua asked with a sidelong glance.
But that might not be easy to find.
As the richest man in Johto, Cai Shenye has assets all over Johto.
Furthermore, it is different from Silver Corporation, which has branches all over the world but has its headquarters in Golden City, Kanto.
There is no so-called "headquarters" for Cai Shen Ye's industry, or no one knows which is the headquarters.
Therefore, it is not easy to find him.
"That's not the case."
Su Sheng pasted a photo in the middle of the blackboard.
It was none other than the youngest son of Caishen Ye, with whom he had fought before in the villa, and also Artes, the younger brother of Aldus!
Lihua's expression changed slightly.
She remembered that Artes was a gym trainer in Asagi City!
Unlike his two elder brothers whose whereabouts are erratic.
As the gym leader, he naturally has to stay in his own territory most of the time.
After all, in the future, when Brock and Misty are traveling with Satoshi for a long time, they will give the position of gym leader to their younger brother and sister.
"Altes is the most powerful trainer in the Johto region... No, should I say the strongest? It is said that his strength is comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance."
Yishu bit his lower lip excitedly, "For such a big event, I think it is necessary to inform the reporters before taking action, so that they can publicize our victory."
"Don't cause trouble!"
Lihua said unhappily.
She doesn't want to be a conspicuous bag.
The purpose of attacking Artes, after all, was to follow the clues and catch Aldus.
If it alerts the enemy or attracts the attention of the alliance.
That operation would have been a failure.
"We don't act to fight,"
Su Sheng Road:
"The key is to find Aldus's whereabouts and investigate what shameful activities his family is involved in."
"Ah? What a pity! I still want to fight with a Heavenly King-level warrior."
Kazuki's face was filled with regret.
"There will be plenty of opportunities for you to fight in the future, the target is Aldus!"
Rika couldn't stand this idiot any more, but she had no choice but to fight against a king-level opponent, so she had to rely on the power of this idiot, Kazuki.
……
……
Asagi City, like Azure City, is a coastal city located at the port of Chengchengdu region.
It is also the largest metropolis in the Johto region.
From the port here you can take a long-distance ship to Kanto.
The gym trainer here during Ash's time was the Steel-type Ami.
But even as the future Ami, her age is still considered young among the gym owners.
He should still be traveling around as an ordinary trainer now.
In a restaurant opposite the Asagi Gym, Su Sheng and the other two sat on the open-air seats, looking across the street at the main entrance of the gym.
They have already found out that Artes is currently in the gym, so they can take action.
"咻咻～"
Yishu slurped his Italian noodles and said incoherently:
"Stealing things should be done at night, right? Let's fill our stomachs first. By the way, Lihua, don't you want to eat this Frosty Milk Strawberry Cake? If not, then..."
As he said that, Yishu's thieving hand reached out for the cake in front of Rika.
Snapped!
Rika picked up her fork and smacked Kazuki on the back of his pig's trotter, "Ghost!"
"There are two ways. One is to sneak in when he is asleep at night and see if there is anything shady inside. The other is to wait until he accepts the gym challenge and is delayed by the challenger before taking action."
Su Sheng analyzed. Hearing this, Yishu and Lihua exchanged glances and chose the first method at the same time.
After all, people should have more time to use after they fall asleep.
"Hello, I'm Ami who made an appointment to challenge Mr. Altice today."
At this moment, a girl who was estimated to be two years younger than Kazuki and about six or seven years old walked to the door of the gym and shouted to the security guard in a baby voice.
Ami! ?
When he heard the name, Su Sheng subconsciously looked up at the entrance of the gym.
It was a little girl with fair skin and short grey shoulder-length hair.
Is that Ami?
"That's great. I have nothing to do during the day anyway, so I might as well go and see what's going on."
Su Sheng and his friends were not the only ones attracted by the little girl's words.
Because Kanto and Cheng share the same alliance.
There are more than 20 gyms in Kanto and Johto combined (the anime version clearly stated that there are more than 10 gyms in the Kanto region).
As long as you collect 8 of them, you can participate in the Quartz Conference.
Therefore, most adventure trainers will choose relatively weaker gyms.
For example, the Nibe Gym managed by Xiaogang's father, and the Cerulean Gym currently managed by Xiaoxia's mother.
Artes is currently recognized as the strongest gym leader in the Johto region, with strength comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.
There are not many young people who dare to challenge him.
Just like Sakaki from Tokiwa Gym.
It was also because of this that Sakaki was able to stay in Johto with Su Sheng for so long.
Because no challenger dares to come anyway.
And after hearing that someone challenged Artes this time.
Soon the audience seats at the Asagi Gym were filled to the brim. They wanted to see who was not afraid of death.
Because of this, Su Sheng, Lihua, and Yishu sat inside without attracting any attention.
"My dear little friend, you don't seem to have reached the age required by the league to be a trainer, right?"
Standing at one side of the field, Artes frowned slightly behind his sunglasses.
The league stipulates that the minimum age for trainers to choose their starting Pokémon, go out on adventures, and participate in gym challenges and league conferences is 10 years old.
But the girl in front of me, oh no, little girl, obviously did not meet the standards.
"Yes, yes, I am 6 years old and I just got my first Pokémon from my grandfather yesterday."
The loli version of Ami has some flavor of Hyuga Hinata. Under the gaze of countless people in the gym, her face was slightly red, and she said nervously:
"I grew up in Asagi City, and I've heard from others that Mr. Altes is the strongest trainer in the Johto region since I was a child. So, I want Mr. Altes to be the first opponent of my initial Pokémon."
As soon as Loli Ami said this, the audience immediately started talking.
"My goodness, this kid is really brave. He just got the initial elf yesterday, and he dares to challenge Mr. Eltes today?"
"This is probably what 'a newborn Kentaro calf is not afraid of a roaring tiger' is like. "
"Alas, I thought I would see an exciting match, but it turned out to be a baby game, so boring."
"Needless to say, it was definitely killed instantly. Let's go, let's go."
Many audience members immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
After all, looking at Ami's age, they don't think she can be that strong.
Now that I heard her say that she just got the initial elf yesterday, I am even less interested.
What’s so interesting about the seckill game?
Seeing a large number of audiences stand up and leave, Loli Ami's face turned even paler. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and there were even little pearls in her eyes.
Just when Ami was at a loss, Artes shouted:
"Why are you laughing at this child? Isn't her courage worth learning from?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience who were about to leave suddenly looked ashamed, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
As for those audience members who were still sitting, they showed more or less admiration.
"Well said, Mr. Altes."
"You are worthy of being the pride of our Asagi City!"
Lihua sneered softly, "Tsk! You're such a good pretender!"
As the younger brother of the enemy who killed her parents, Rika hates the whole family and has no good feelings towards Artes.
Su Sheng remained silent.
To be honest, he didn't think that Artes was pretending.
As a man who has lived three lifetimes, Su Sheng is quite confident in his judgment of people.
Of course, if it is said that Altes’ acting skills are at the same level as Aizen’s, Su Sheng said that he really can’t see it.
