When thinking.
The group of dragon trainers came over.
One of them asked with a smile: "Where did you get this brand?"
"My father left it to me."
Baimu didn't know whether these people could tell that the sign was newly made. Anyway, he insisted that it was given to him by someone else, and it was fine as long as he knew nothing about it.
You can't just say you did it yourself, right? That would be even harder to explain.
"When your father gave you this thing, did he ever mention your grandfather or ancestors?"
The man continued to ask.
Kashiwagi Jun shook his head. "I was still young at that time, so I really can't remember. Is there anything wrong with this brand?"
The dragon trainers looked at each other in bewilderment, and then said, "We found that the history of this brand is no more than twenty years old at most, but this model... is from a hundred years ago."
"--How many?"
He was stunned.
"One hundred years ago." Someone thought he didn't hear clearly, "The Dragon People have always been accustomed to spreading all over the world, so it's not surprising that some people came to the Orei region...
"We have contacted the people in Meteor Village and compared the family tree. More than a hundred years ago, many dragon trainers left and never came back. I think your ancestor is one of them. As for this brand, it is probably a new imitation made by your father after the old one was broken."
The dragon trainers all laughed.
How can this be accomplished?!
Kashiwagi was dumbfounded. He didn't quite understand why the other party inferred these things based on the fact that he was a descendant of the Dragon Nation and even covered up the loophole himself.
"So I can't be considered 100% dragon?" he asked tentatively.
"That's not the case. Dragon people don't care about pure bloodline. As long as you are a descendant of the Dragon people, you can call yourself a dragon trainer or a Dragon people."
An elder laughed and looked at the dragon. "You have bred a dragon that is quite good. It has strong limbs and a sturdy physique. The key is that you can control the strength of your bite, which is a difficult task for a dragon-attribute Pokémon."
"really."
"This white hair... is dyed."
"You only have one dragon-type Pokémon, right? Remember to capture a few more, so you can be considered a dragon tamer!"
"If you don't mind, come to Meteor Falls to find me when you have the chance. I have a few dragon-type Pokémon at home that I can give to you to raise."
These people talked one after another and completely confirmed Kashiwamu's bloodline and origin.
Kashiwagi smiled awkwardly in response, his heart pounding wildly. Awu next to him was still shouting, "Double Axe War Dragon! How can a dragon trainer not cultivate Double Axe War Dragon! Look at these sharp fangs, look at this strong tail, can other dragon-attribute Pokémon compare to it?"
"Good boy! I like arrogant dragon trainers like you! Come and compete with my baby!"
Upon hearing this, the others took out their Poké Balls and released various dragon-attribute Pokémon to compete with each other.
There are also people comparing it to Gyarados and Charizard, and the house almost can’t fit them all.
Chapter 189 Battle of Champions
Huangtie Town was successfully liberated.
However, the Rainbow Team did not disband. From Yamaminoru to Ayana, Otsuka, Narihiro and others, they still considered themselves as the Rainbow Team.
The key point is that those saviors who are temporarily members of the Rainbow Team don’t seem to have any objections.
"This isn't a good idea. The whole group is coming out right after the end."
Kashiwagi is worried that the Rainbow Team might split the rescue organization, which would be detrimental to the future development of Olei.
More importantly, he had a sense of having seized the fruits of victory.
Shan Min gave him a strange look and said, "What's wrong with that? Besides, this is not a small group. Shouldn't you think of it as a new group?
"Everyone calls themselves the Rainbow Team, which means they all want to be with you. Besides, I've already told you why we established the Rainbow Team."
"..."
He said nothing.
Shan Min saw that he was quite serious, so he had to ask: "Let me ask you a question. Who do you think made the greatest contribution in the battle of Huangtie Town?"
"Everyone deserves great credit...Okay, Liuge?"
"You know it very well. Although he has no reputation among the civilians, he is the leader of the rescue organization. In the future, with just a little publicity, he will naturally become the leader of Pyrite Town."
"So you have to fight him."
"That's right. If you don't fight for it, you will never get the dominant position. I know what you are worried about. But this is just peaceful competition. Do you think Liuge doesn't know what I am doing? He didn't stop me, which means he agreed."
"…How do we fight?"
"How else can we compete besides relying on actual performance? What Huangtie Town needs most right now is reconstruction and revitalization of the industry. Whoever can do it well will be the one that everyone looks up to. And to accomplish these things, enough manpower is indispensable. What do you think Huangtie Town lacks most right now?"
"money?"
"How can it be money! Do you know how much money was confiscated after those illegal traders in the underground city were arrested? What Huangtie Town lacks most now is talent!"
"If you have money, you will have talent..."
“What do you think is the difference between the people attracted by money and the rentier groups in the past? Although this may be a bit one-sided, you must know that what Huangtie Town lacks most are young talents with dreams and drive.”
Shan Min's mind is full of grand plans, and the Rainbow Team is the bridge for him to realize his ambitions. "Only by attracting more people to join, can Huangtie Town have a future."
Kashiwagi had nothing to say.
The man before him was not an idealist who had just emerged from an ivory tower. He had already understood what could and could not be done in the Yellow Iron Town in the past, but he still kept moving forward with determination.
Perhaps with his efforts, Orei can have a bright future like Galar...
"You don't have to look at me. Your mission is also arduous. Just enjoy the fruits of your victory now." Shan Min patted his shoulder, "Do your job well as the leader of the Rainbow Team and wait for the day when I will entrust you with an important mission."
Kashiwagi: “Huh!?”
Seeing the strange smile on Shan Min's face, he inevitably had an idea -
This guy won’t let him catch the divine beast, right?
As a side story region, the Ouray region does not have its own legendary Pokémon. However, if you don't dominate the world, or if you can create a special environment like the Ultimate, it doesn't really matter whether most legendary Pokémon are there or not.
Probably not.
Kashiwagi thought silently.
In fact.
The people in the Rainbow Team's territory are indeed more able to accept Kashiwagi, who is a commoner at the top, rather than a rescue organization that seems to have appeared out of nowhere but has actually been lurking around them for many years.
When they discovered that those peripheral members who had once exploited them had turned into people serving them, their support for Kashiwagi became more sincere and fervent.
Whenever Guang Baimu walked around the former Liusha team's territory, he would often see people around him stop what they were doing, greet him enthusiastically, and salute him, showing great respect.
As he responded, he was thinking about the efforts to save the organization.
Despite being lurking in the dark for a long time, they have been subtly instilling concepts such as right and wrong and being exploited by the upper class into the civilians over the years, indirectly contributing to the middle and lower classes starting to become corrupt and preventing some organizations from continuing to expand.
They have also made their moves in many more invisible places. In other words, this victory is not just a momentary good luck, but the reward for their years of efforts.
-
Two days later, Genji left with his crew and a group of dragon trainers.
According to the old captain, he missed his ship. He was used to life at sea and couldn't get used to staying inland for too long.
Come quietly and go quietly.
His attitude of not asking for anything in return impressed many people.
"We need to erect a monument or something."
Kashiwagi expressed such emotion. It was a pity that in most cases in the Pokémon world, there was no custom of erecting monuments for humans, especially living people.
But if you must say, they actually took something away—
The dragon trainers took away a tube of Kashiwamu's blood, saying that they would use modern instruments for testing to determine which lineage Kashiwamu was from, so as to clarify who their ancestors were.
For the Dragon People, inheritance is extremely important, especially the identification of ancestors.
But Kashiwagi couldn't help but feel uneasy again.
If they find out that they have made a mistake, will they become enemies with the Dragon People? I don't think so. If they were so stingy, they would not come to help the Orei region.
"Why didn't you leave?"
What surprised Kashiwagi was that Takeru actually stayed.
"There is still a place in Huangtie Town that needs me. Besides, I am looking forward to the establishment of the Orei Alliance and challenging the alliance to become the champion!"
Ah Wu chuckled, "I know Shan Min has high hopes for you, but the position of champion has always been held by the strongest person in the region. Is it okay for me to be considered as a competitor?"
Almost all dragon tamers aim to reach the status of Four Heavenly Kings or above, and he is no exception.
"No problem at all."
Kashiwagi is not interested in the predetermined champion. One more competitor will give him more desire to move forward.
however.
When will the Orei League be officially established? When will the League Conference and the Champions League be held?
With such doubts, Kashiwagi went to ask Liuge.
The other party said that the alliance will be decided mainly by Silicon City, and given the current situation, it may be difficult to successfully build it within half a year.
"The task of eradicating the influence of the Shadow Team on the Orei region is more difficult than we imagined. In addition, the qualifications for participating in the League Conference and the standards for the Champions League need to be strictly formulated..."
Liu Ge shook his head. "We can't do the extremely crude work of Erkin. He even intends to designate the champion. What's the point of such an alliance other than becoming a laughing stock?"
"Besides... Shan Min still needs time to grow up."
He slumped over the table as if he was tired, his burgundy hair hanging on the desk, looking quite bright. He smiled and said, "What do you think my dream is?"
"——Save the Orei region?"
"No, after that, or before that."
"You don't want to be the champion, do you?"
