Chapter 495 Lakeside Resort
Chapter 495 Lakeside Resort
Lakeside Resort is a high-end resort near Lizhi Lake, less than ten kilometers below Lakeside City.
Next to the sparkling Lizhi Lake, Xiaozhi set up a small table and curled up in a lazy chair with a fishing rod at hand.
With his hat covering his eyes and a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, he looked lazy.
"Pika~chu~!" Pikachu lay in Xiaozhi's arms and yawned comfortably.
A scene of peaceful times...
It is worth mentioning that Xiaozhi teleported all the regular Pokémon except Pikachu and Egg-Omnivore back to Professor Oak.
Next, Souji will give everyone a comprehensive physical examination in preparation for the Sinnoh League.
The only regular combat forces left in Xiaozhi's hands are two sword-wielding guards, Alakazam and Azure Blade.
These two come and go without a trace, but they never let us down at critical moments.
The reason why I was fishing here alone was mainly because Serena and the others had gone to attend a welcome party for a large celebration.
They don’t allow family members to come with them…
As the highest stage of the Sinnoh Grand Contest, since Mikoli went to Unova, the honorary guest this time was replaced by Melissa.
In addition, Xiao Wang, Hisashi, Kengo, and Sweetie Musashi Lina are all here.
Xiaozhi didn't expect that Musashi could collect all five ribbons. This probably confirms that statement.
You just work hard and leave the rest to fate. Although the Rockets' three idiots are unreliable, they really tried their best, and this large-scale celebration is the best reward for them.
As for Xiaozhi, he was waiting for someone for the upcoming Sinnoh League. A great player who had disappeared for a long time said that he would return for a limited time in the next few days.
"Uh~" There was a sound of metal friction in the sky. Xiaozhi put on his hat and raised his head: "Here it comes~"
A steel armored crow was dragging a carriage from far away in the sky.
A young man in a red baseball cap opened the car door and jumped down from a high altitude.
"Whoa~" A white horse suddenly appeared from the Poké Ball in mid-air, caught the young man and brought him to the ground steadily.
"Long time no see, Xiaozhi~" Looking up, Chihong smiled.
"Brother Red~" Xiaozhi nodded respectfully and stood up.
Immediately, Steelix's carriage landed and two people emerged from the carriage.
"Oh my, Galar is such a convenient means of transportation." A head of fiery red curly hair, a stubbled beard, and two strings of Poké Balls hanging on his chest.
"You are, Mr. Adek?!" Xiaozhi was stunned.
"Hey, young man, you are the son of tomorrow that Chihong talked about. You look like a copy and paste of him when he was young." Adek raised his hand as a cold joke.
"Brother Chihong, what are you doing?" Xiaozhi looked at Chihong in confusion.
"When I came back, I went to Hezhong. Sakaki and Mr. Adek were having a drinking party. I was worried, so I went to take a look." Chihong explained.
"You three... this combination is really hard to trust..." Xiaozhi said speechlessly.
"Hahaha, although the three of us have different positions, we are all real men!" Adek waved his hands generously.
Speaking of which, the reason why Chihong and Adek can become close friends regardless of age difference is that Adek is also a champion who came from a commoner background.
He could understand Chihong's regret at the time.
Or, whether it is Akashi, Adek... or Sakaki, they are all legendary figures who have climbed up from the bottom after all.
This can be seen from the three people's first Pokémon. Before meeting Professor Oak, Red only had a Poliwag.
Adek picked up a burning worm, and it was a burning worm that was about to transform.
Sakaki's Beedrill...
It’s just that the three of them took three different paths.
Red was once besieged by the alliance, and Sakaki chose to find a new way to establish his own force, Team Rocket. Only Adek overcame all prejudices and became the champion.
In fact, this world is really good, with children being taken care of and the elderly being cared for. However, the gap still exists. In the final analysis, humanitarian foster homes and orphanages can only guarantee your survival.
Those at the bottom of the alliance can only guarantee survival.
But the young man did not have the capital to pursue his dreams.
The tax revenue from the Alliance is still an unattainable mountain for those who have lost their parents or whose families have been engaged in ordinary industries for generations, such as street sweepers and street vendors selling snacks.
They may be boys in shorts or insect catchers, active in the streets, forests and mountains.
However, for direct trainers like Xiaozhi, their role may only be a little experience points harvested on the roadside.
But, this was many years ago.
I don't know when it started, but competing clubs have become popular in various places, and there are also dream funds established with the help of club owners such as Yashida.
Hoenn Devon's dream-building fund, Sinnoh's trainer special subsidy, Unova, Kalos, Galar...
This is what is revealed openly, and even secretly, Kanto and Johto have a semi-indulgent attitude towards Team Rocket.
As long as it doesn't involve the law, the Rockets' logistics, hotel chains, and black markets everywhere!
Do you really think the alliance doesn't know?
In addition, the doctor in each region’s unshakable youth training classes will give the top three players the Big Three for free, as well as initial equipment.
As long as you are certified as a formal trainer, you will receive a certain amount of subsidy every month.
Although they could not be born in Rome, at least the road to Rome had already opened up to them.
The boy's face gradually became more confident, because they were really well protected.
You can satirize the darkness of this world, but that doesn't stop others from yearning for light.
[The Pokémon created by Shinji will never have a truly dark world, because the weather is good and the sun is shining. This world is broken and we will patch it up.]
"Come to think of it, why did Adek-san suddenly come to Sinnoh instead of going to the bar to get drunk?" Xiaozhi started to thrust Adek's lungs in as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ahem... I'm still the champion." Adek waved his hand awkwardly: "Come on, meet the person I want you to see."
"What? You're still a kid, right? People like you are stumbling blocks on my road to becoming the champion?" A slightly arrogant female voice sounded.
"Hehe~" Xiaozhi rolled his eyes. This familiar tone, he was so busy converging the world line that he forgot to collect you, right?
Alice~
"Let me introduce you to my good friend Shaka's last disciple, the girl from Dragon Country, Alice." Adek smiled and said, "She is also the answer to the future of Unova."
"Hmph~ Don't mention Old Man Xia. That guy's last disciple really locked me up in a small dark room. If I could beat him..." Alice retorted with gritted teeth.
"Although she is a candidate for the championship, she is too young. I remember that you are going to tour various places, and the next stop should be Unova. You can take her with you." Chihong helped to speak.
"I take her?" Xiaozhi looked at Alice and said, "She seems very unconvinced."
Adek patted his chest and said, "I need to beat him and scold him, but don't ruin his life."
"Him? I'm afraid the dragon-headed mole will kill him with one stick~" Alice curled her lips.
After stretching, Xiaozhi looked at Alice seriously and said, "Words are not enough. Let's fight?"
"Hey, don't cry if you lose." Alice immediately looked at Adek arrogantly: "Okay?"
"Of course~" Adek nodded, then looked at Chihong guiltily: "Is it really okay?"
Red glanced at Adek and said calmly, "Have I ever lost when I was Satoshi's age? He is more like my former self than I am."
"Okay, let's fight!" Adek immediately trotted between the two men and said, "I'll be the referee!"
Red consciously occupied Xiaozhi's recliner and waved his hand: "You guys fight first, I'll bask in the sun~ I've been in the Crown Snowfield for too long, my old illness is about to come back~"
Xiaozhi checked the time and said, "Well, there's still a while before the welcome party ends, so let's move around a bit."
To be continued...
