Chapter 96: The Buried Hibiscus King, Pear Blossom Version
Chapter 96: The Buried Hibiscus King, Pear Blossom Version
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the next step was a banquet and cocktail party.
This was considered the opening ceremony of Rainbow Company, and also a farewell party for Gladion and Liliae.
"Ah Sheng, this is Lizi, the island queen of our Akala Island."
Kukui's face was almost blooming with smiles, and he kept introducing local public figures in Alola to Su Sheng.
"Hello, Sister Lizi. Please take care of me in the future."
Su Sheng shook hands with the other party enthusiastically.
"No, no, this is what I want to say."
Lizi, who has never been able to find a suitable partner and is very concerned about age, is obviously pleased to hear Su Sheng address her.
After the introduction was almost over, Kukui pulled Su Sheng and said with gratitude:
"Ah Sheng, I have good news for you. President Dharma Ranchi has agreed to Alola joining the alliance. Hahahaha...hahaha...woo...woo!"
Kukui was laughing at first, but when he got to the end, he burst into tears.
The long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled at this moment.
Barnett hurried forward, handed her boyfriend a tissue, and said embarrassedly:
"He's too excited, don't be offended, Asheng."
Dharmalanchi also walked up with a smile. "In fact, I have long felt that Alola should become a part of the alliance, but I just haven't found the right opportunity before. Today, everyone is happy, so I, an old man, will make the decision and settle this matter."
Barnett rolled her eyes wildly as she tried to comfort her boyfriend.
I thought, if Su Sheng hadn't invented the moves learning device, would you have agreed so readily?
"Thank you very much, Mr. Damarachi. However, the current strength of the Alola region..."
He was not surprised that Dharmalanchi agreed to Alola joining the alliance nearly ten years in advance.
He could guess some of the reasons.
But to be honest, Alola's current strength does not seem to be enough to form an alliance.
Putting aside other things, can you put together a basic lineup of a champion, four kings, and eight gym owners?
"That's nothing. You don't have to have champion-level strength to be a champion. For example, the current champion of the Kalos League, Ms. Doracena, only has the strength of a king."
Lizzie interjected.
Su Sheng:……
The overall strength of the Carlos Alliance is indeed hard to describe in a few words.
But Su Sheng did not expect that before Kaluni's rise, there was not a single champion in the entire league.
Although Kaluni is also in a relatively lower level among the league champions.
She was almost killed by Xiaozhi's Greninja. Su Sheng's impression of her was her hairstyle and legs that were similar to Hepburn's.
"In fact, the basic conditions for forming an alliance only require a champion and eight gym leaders. It doesn't matter if there are no Four Heavenly Kings. Galar doesn't have Four Heavenly Kings."
"Don't we have Ah Sheng, Yi Shu, Hua Li and the others now?"
The drunk Kukui said excitedly, not noticing that Ross's face darkened when he said "There are no Four Heavenly Kings in Galar".
Su Sheng blinked.
I have no interest in being a champion.
"Yishu and Huali? Are they the two companions of little Su Sheng?"
Dama Lanqi asked curiously.
"Yes, that's me, the president."
Yishu came up to greet him with a smile:
"But Huali was not feeling well today so I'm sorry for not coming."
Kona was quite interested and said:
"When I got here, Dr. Kukui kept praising you three. I'm a little curious. Do you want to have a little sparring?"
Hearing Kona say this, Kazuki became interested.
I am also very curious, how big is the gap between me and the Four Heavenly Kings?
Yishu was about to agree, but saw Su Sheng staring at him.
Kazuki reacted and immediately declined:
"Forget about it today. I just want to have a good meal now."
Yishu's team lineup has been exposed by the league.
Fighting openly would expose one's identity too easily.
It would be fine if Kazuki used the newly captured Pokémon.
But the problem is that after the Shallot Gym incident, Kazuki didn't capture any new Pokémon.
"Really? Then Su..."
Seeing Yishu's refusal, Kono subconsciously turned his attention to Su Sheng.
"If King Kona doesn't mind, how about we have a sparring match?"
Just then, a voice suddenly came.
Su Sheng and Yishu were startled. This voice...
Even Damalanqi was stunned for a moment. The voice sounded familiar.
Turning around, I saw a girl with gray hair and twin ponytails, who looked a bit like the girl in "The Burial of King Hibiscus", walking towards me.
"Pear...uh..."
Kazuki almost called out the name "Rika".
The next second, under the other party's fierce gaze, he swallowed the word "花" back into his throat.
Why do you look different?
"Ms. Huali is here? This is the first time we see her without her sunglasses."
Kukui blinked and said, "I haven't seen you for a month. The child has gained a lot of weight."
"That little chubby face is so cute."
Barnett clasped her hands to her chest and said with shining eyes.
However, Su Sheng, who was the only one who possessed the power of Changpan, keenly noticed that there was an extra Poké Ball on Lihua's waist.
The ones in there are probably...
"You borrowed Gladion's Zoroark?"
Su Sheng asked in Lihua's ear after she had "disguised herself".
"Wearing sunglasses so late at night, that's weird, isn't it?"
Lihua asked back in a low voice.
"Use new elves."
Su Sheng reminded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as Kazuki."
……
Lihua then walked up to Kona and said, "I really admire Miss Kona, who is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Quartz. Can you give me some advice?"
Kona looked at the girl with some baby fat in front of him, and nodded with only thought:
"no problem."
After the two girls decided to have a friendly match, the guests at the banquet took the initiative to clear an open space of nearly 100 square meters for Lihua and Kona to use as a temporary battlefield.
Whether it was Damalanchi, Roz, and Yesi who came from afar, or locals such as Kukui, Hala, etc., they all looked curious.
After all, according to what Kukui said just now, that gray girl with twin tails might become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alola League in the future.
Now is the time to see what she is capable of.
"Let the hunt begin! Litten!"
Lihua threw the Poké Ball first.
When they saw the kitten falling to the ground with the white light, Kukui and Barnett were both stunned.
"This should be the one I gave to Miss Huali last month, right?"
Kukui looked at the shiny fiery red fur and nodded approvingly, "It's been well trained."
last month?
Hearing these three words from Kukui's mouth, Kona concluded that this was a new Pokémon that the other party had just obtained.
Fight me with the new elf?
Are you looking down on me?
Kona curled her red lips and threw the Poké Ball with her backhand.
What appeared was a snow-white Sandshrew!
"White Sandshrew!?"
Yishu said in surprise.
"It's the Alola region form of Sandslash."
Su Sheng explained.
This must be a new partner that Kona recruited after coming to Alola, and it must be because he saw Rika using a new Pokémon.
Su Sheng remembered that in the game "Go Skin Go Evil", Kona did have an Alola Sandslash.
It's just that... the combination of steel + ice is four times weak to fighting and fire, so your attribute combination is a bit too bad.
