After Lu Yuan gave a dry cough, he fled the scene.
There are many vendors displayed in the central park of Shuimai City.
Lu Yuan found Xiao Lan but discovered that she was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong? Have you encountered anything unhappy? Tell me and I'll be happy." Lu Yuan consoled with a smile.
"Ah." Xiao Lan sighed and pointed to the stall not far away and said, "It's all because of them. They took away all the business."
Lu Yuan looked in the direction Xiao Lan pointed. It was a very simple stall, but it was surrounded by people.
There are only two people in the store, a man and a woman, and a cat?
Why does this cat look so familiar?
"Thank you for your patronage. Here are some gold coins for the cat. Meow."
The cat dressed as a shop assistant handed the item to the customer.
Isn’t this Team Rocket’s Meowth?
These two people are...
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, the female clerk had exaggerated long burgundy hair, while the male clerk had short dark blue hair.
Musashi, Kojiro!
"I never thought that after so many years in business, I, Xiao Lan, would lose to those people. I really can't accept it!" Xiao Lan said gritting his teeth.
No, maybe all I have to do is run up to their stall and ask, "Who are you?" and they will reveal their identities. Then I can call the police and wait for Miss Junsha to arrest them, and the stall might be bankrupt.
Lu Yuan muttered to himself.
But he just kept this in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
Haunter behind him smelled the fragrance from the stall and unconsciously drifted over.
Musashi: "Delicious angry buns."
Kojiro: "Eat it and your spirit's strength will increase greatly!"
Meow Meow: "Even King Sheba said it was delicious after eating it, meow."
Sure enough, Weng: "Swoosh, sizzle!"
Musashi: "Who told you to come out? Come back now."
Passerby A: "It's Angry Buns. I just saw King Sheba carrying a bunch of them. He bought them from this store."
Passerby B: "But I heard that this store was fined yesterday for not having a health permit. Will it be..."
Passerby C: "What are you afraid of? Even the King of Sheba was eaten. What can happen?"
Passerby B: “But…”
Passerby A: "If you don't want to eat, forget it. Let's go."
Haunter looked at the increasing number of people lining up, pulled Lu Yuan's arm and pointed at the stall.
"Scrape~"
I want to eat that.
"What are you eating? You dare to eat anything sold by the Rockets. Who knows if it's expired food. You'll have diarrhea if you eat it."
Lu Yuan refused without hesitation.
"Scrape~"
"Even if you are a poison type, it won't work. It's not like poison types can't be poisoned these days, right?"
Lu Yuan then refused.
But seeing Ghost Stone's frustrated look, Lu Yuan finally gave it the money helplessly and said, "I give up on you. You can only buy one."
"Scrape (＞^ω^＜)"
Haunter happily took the money and obediently lined up.
Lu Yuan said to Xiao Lan who was standing beside him, "You should know why I'm looking for you."
Xiao Lan understood what he meant and took out a stack of small cards from her bag, grinning and saying, "5000 each."
Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Lan with a smile.
"Okay, okay, five dollars is fine." Xiao Lan changed his tone.
Lu Yuan snatched the card from Xiao Lan's hand and said, "5 cents, no more."
"This card costs more than 50 cents." Xiao Lan shouted, "Raise the price a little more. It's a good deal to sell it to you for one dollar."
"What are you talking about? I'm talking about a stack of 5 cents?" Lu Yuan said.
Chapter 108: "Acquaintances" are jealous when they meet
"A stack of fifty cents! Why don't you go and grab it!" Xiao Lan shouted.
"Yeah, didn't I grab it?" Lu Yuan said with a smile, shaking the stack of cards in his hand.
Xiaolan: "..."
Ignoring Xiao Lan, Lu Yuan began to seriously analyze his next opponent.
I have to say that Xiao Lan has some connections here, as he actually has information about so many players.
Li and Korni's Lucario, Caidou's Octopus Warrior, Xiaozhi's Flame Monkey, Xiaogang's Bad Frog, Koji's Super Strength, Shandou's Abandoned Monkey...
The elves registered by each player can be found, so it is no exaggeration to say that he has hacked into the league's backend system.
Hey, this is.
Lu Yuan pulled out a specially marked card.
When Xiaolan saw this, he said, "This is the Royal Mask who has been very popular in the Alola region recently. He always wears a mask and never shows his true face. Even the Alliance backstage has no information about him."
"But it is certain that the spirit he used was a flaming roaring tiger."
Looking at the card with the shirtless muscular tough guy wearing a red hood and posing shamefully, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
"I didn't expect that the doctor would also participate." Lu Yuan whispered.
The true identity of the Royal Mask is Dr. Kukui, the professor of the Alola region.
Do doctors like to wear masks and sneak out to compete these days?
Eh? Why did I say all?
Suddenly, Lu Yuan seemed to think of something and looked through the pile of cards carefully, even checking them again for safety reasons.
"Huh——" Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Professor Oak did not participate.
He remembered that at the 9th Quartz Conference, Professor Oak tied a few black belts on his face and came to participate in the competition.
It seemed that the opponent at that time was Xiaolan, who was defeated by a Spearow and lost his way.
Fortunately he is not here, otherwise how can we play this game?
He can't beat Professor Oak in a Pokémon battle, let alone an offline one-on-one duel.
After finding his next opponent, Lu Yuan smiled.
An old acquaintance.
……
In the afternoon, the Fighting Expert Competition Zone C competition was held.
The girl in combat uniform, Ah Li, directed Lucario in the field, “Hold on!”
"Damn it! The water flow of the powerful crocodile has broken, smash it to pieces!" The uncle with a beer belly and a beard on the opposite side shouted.
The blue crocodile with purple poison spots on its face punched hard, and a large amount of water gushed out.
But the attack that inherited its hope was blocked by the emerald green barrier.
Hold on!
Then, the purple poisonous spots climbed up the body of the powerful crocodile again, eroding its physical strength.
"Despicable! Where is your spirit as a fighter!" said the bearded uncle with a beer belly angrily.
However, Ali chose to turn a blind eye to this and made a choice when she decided to use the substitute poison tactic in the game.
Reputation means nothing when it comes to the life and death of a gym.
Ah Li made up his mind and commanded: "Lucario, Thunder Fist!"
"Luca!"
A fist filled with lightning was swung out, taking away the powerful crocodile whose health was running low.
"Megacrocodile lost his ability to fight, Lucario won, so the winner is contestant Li."
The referee waved his flag.
The bearded uncle with a beer belly looked at his alligator falling down in such an inexplicable way and cursed angrily.
Where's the fighting spirit? Where's the excitement of punching each other in the flesh? Little girl, you have no martial ethics!
Ali left the scene with his eyes closed, ignoring the noisy sounds around him.
When she opened her eyes again, her confused look was instantly replaced by a look of determination.
At this moment, she had completely thrown away her previous shyness and embarrassment, as if she had been reborn.
"A duel is a duel!" Ah Li muttered to himself, "On the battlefield, there is only victory and defeat, nothing else. Master Lu Yuan, I finally begin to understand what you mean."
Just as Ah Li was immersed in his own thoughts, a figure rushed over like a gust of wind.
It turned out to be Kornai. She smiled and said breathlessly:
"Congratulations, Li! I just came back from outside and heard the referee announce your victory! I'm so happy for you!"
Although she did not understand the discussions of the people around her, as a good friend of Ali, she always chose to stand on Ali's side without hesitation.
"By the way, Ah Li, the next contestant is Gym Master Lu Yuan, right?" said Kearney.
"Yeah." Li responded.
"Actually, I'm still quite curious about how the Poison-type gym leader fights. I've never seen it before." Korni said with a smile.
Ah Li: “…”
Maybe if you arrived two minutes earlier you would have seen it.
ten minutes later.
Lu Yuan stepped onto the competition field, and on the other side was a handsome man, Lu Ye.
As soon as he appeared, the women around him burst into sharp cheers.
Lu Ye, an opponent Lu Yuan met in the Little Phoenix King Cup, is a star.
But now she seems to have transformed from a vase into a fighting star.
The internet says he’s a rising star in the fighting world, but you can imagine that’s just some idiot-like post.
"Ali, it seems that the opponent of Master Lu Yuan is very famous?" Korni said to Ali who was standing beside him.
But the one who answered her was not Li.
"It's just fancy moves."
Korni looked back and saw the dark-skinned girl who defeated the monster with her bare hands, and she seemed to shout, "Caidou!"
Caidou nodded slightly and continued to focus her attention on the field.
Facing this old acquaintance in front of him, Lu Yuan smiled and threw the Poké Ball in his hand: "Go, Jigglypuff."
White light suddenly appeared.
A giant pink egg appeared in the arena.
It called out tenderly to the giant mantis in front of it: "Lucky~"
