At dusk, the first day of the ranking battle against the castle came to an end.
The knighted trainers were walking together in the castle, still talking about it.
"The earthquake in Youkilas actually killed the strange jaw dragon of Master Chakro in an instant!"
"After all, he is Teacher Lu's young Gilas..."
"Teacher Lu's strength can be seen from his training skills."
The afterglow gilded the Battle Castle with a layer of gold, the water of the fountain created beautiful ripples, and the maids passed by the cloister.
Lu Ye looked out at the courtyard from the second-floor balcony and recalled the culture of the Carlos region. It was not surprising.
The Pokémon world already has small kingdoms such as Ordran City, Midina and other small kingdoms, and King AZ is a well-known picture book character of Carlos.
Staring at the fluttering flowers and leaves in the garden, Lu Ye was slightly lost in thought.
It is said that King AZ tried to use the ultimate weapon to bring back his beloved Huayedi, but the war caused by the ultimate weapon destroyed everything. The resurrected Huayedi left King AZ in disappointment, and King AZ was in great pain because of the ultimate weapon.
Due to the radiation, King AZ gained eternal life and was unable to seek death. He has been wandering since ancient times and became a homeless man on the streets of Kalos.
"What a romantic and sad story."
Lu Ye and Gengar looked at the castle garden together. Fairy Eevee stretched out a ribbon and wrapped it around his arm, sharing the sadness at dusk.
Footsteps were heard from behind. Butler Yikong wore a monocle and said respectfully:
"Marquis Luye, would you like to continue participating in tomorrow's ranking match?"
Lu Ye calmed down and asked curiously: "How many days will the ranking match last?"
"The ranking battle is held once a month and lasts for three days. Other trainers will visit the battle castle tomorrow."
The steward said: "You can stay in the castle temporarily, everything has been taken care of."
Lu Yeyou wanted to ask them how this battle castle made money.
I think if trainers of the Champion, Four Heavenly Kings and other levels come to visit, there will naturally be no shortage of benefits.
Lu Ye nodded and said:
"I will still be randomly matched tomorrow, please excuse me."
"I'm sincerely afraid. I will arrange a challenger for you with the same title." The butler bowed and said, "There will be someone to take you to your room. I'll excuse you for now."
Led by a Victorian-style maid, Lu Ye settled in the room of the Battle Castle.
The interior decoration style fits the atmosphere of a battle castle.
Lu Ye lay down on the soft sofa and dialed Sirona's contact.
After the connection was connected, a soft and magnetic voice sounded on the other end, smiling:
"How does it feel to play against the castle?"
"I'm not used to it," Lu Ye said, "but I won a promotion match for now."
"How many more days will it take?"
"If everything goes well, I will be promoted to "Duke" and I will rush to the Hezhong area."
Lu Ye glanced at Young Gilas, who was watching Togepi playing games, and said:
"One more thing."
"What's up?"
"Youkilas, it's about to evolve."
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, before Sirona said softly: "Whether it evolves or not, the bond with Pokémon will never change."
Lu Ye couldn't help but smile and said: "It's almost the same as what I said."
Chatted for a long time.
Sirona mentioned that Cattleya has been depressed recently and has almost gone berserk with her super powers several times.
"Several game consoles exploded again." Sirona said with a headache.
"Heh." Lu Ye curled his lips and smiled.
It’s just the wail of a lost golden retriever!
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ye looked at Jukiras, and his eyes happened to meet.
"Hey?" Youkiras blinked blankly.
Lu Ye took out the immutable stone that he had prepared in advance and looked at Yukilas seriously:
"There is a decision that needs to be made by yourself."
As if aware of Teacher Lu's serious expression, the room was quiet and the little ones looked over secretly.
"Whether I evolve or not, my attitude will not change. So, let me know more about your thoughts, Yukilas."
"Hey..." Youjilas looked at Lu Ye's expression.
Although he was born only a few months ago, the baby Gilas is extremely sensible and has an amazing record. He has the record of single-killing Mega's Soul Eye in the cub stage. (Food Chain Suppression)
But that alone is not enough.
Youkilas also wants to protect everyone more and grow into a reliable fighting force in the team.
"Hey!" Youkiras' eyes gradually became firm, he shook his head and took half a step back towards the Immutable Stone.
Keep getting stronger, Yukilas!
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, sensing the thoughts conveyed by the "Superpower", and his mood was subtle.
I feel a chill behind my back, but I know that the risk of demolishing my home has increased exponentially.
But I feel inexplicably happy!
This may be because Yogilas is thinking about himself and the little ones.
Although there is a deviation in understanding, no one needs it to protect at all.
However, Teacher Lu was still deeply moved by Youkilas' starting point and strong desire.
"Kou Jie??(;??Д｀??)" Gengar held a small handkerchief in his mouth, his eyes filled with tears and his expression moved.
The juniors have all grown up~
"Gah!!(??????????)σ" Cong Youbing burst into tears.
As expected of the hatchling I hatched, well done, Young Kilas!
"Kah...ヾ(??■_■)" The Water Arrow Turtle pushed up his sunglasses and looked at Young Kilas.
Although it can paralyze the opponent better in the early stage, but... forget it, I respect your choice!
The Rotom Pokédex lights up with a 'teary' expression.
"Beep beep...Long live understanding, Lotto~o(TヘTo)"
"Buyi..."
Fairy Eevee's blue eyes flickered, staring at Young Gilas who longed to become stronger, as if he had seen the Eevee under the meteor shower...
Seeing Yukiras make his own choice.
Lu Ye smiled slightly and said:
"You have to work hard for tomorrow's game, Yukiras."
Youkilas nodded vigorously, his eyes were stern, and his aura as a quasi-god was undoubtedly evident.
"Yoji! (▼へ▼メ)"
**
Carlos, versus the castle.
The twilight is getting darker, the miscanthus is blowing in the far wilderness, and a group of mounted lambs are lying low.
Violet excitedly raised her SLR camera. A figure suddenly appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. She looked up and was startled.
"Chaklo? What are you doing climbing to such a high place!"
"Rock climbing." Chucklo replied in a calm voice without any protection.
Violet looked complicated and said: "I really admire you..."
As both "counts" of the Battle Castle, Violet and Chucklo have fought several times and understand each other's tempers relatively well.
Logically speaking, rock climbing is not only Chucklo's hobby, but also a way to warm up for battle.
"Isn't your ranking match over?" Violet asked.
Chucklo jumped down from the wall, clapped his hands, and said helplessly: "Actually, it's another thing."
He recounted what he wanted to give the badge to Teacher Lu, but was unable to do so, and said:
"I gave the badge to Teacher Lu without any proper reason."
"In other words, it would be terrible if he invited me for a full-scale battle in person..."
Just one young Kilas can kill two of his main forces.
Although Chucklo didn't understand the gap between himself and Teacher Lu in all-out combat, he was greatly shocked.
It is better to hand the badge to him directly than to be kicked out by a Pokémon, or to be carried away without a seal in an all-out battle...
"That's probably the case." Chucklo sighed.
Violet thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea."
"What?"
"Can't you just courier the badge to the coffee shop in Miare City?"
Violet said, "The coffee shop that Teacher Lu hasn't opened yet...has already gained some fame in Miare City."
"I see."
Chucklo suddenly understood, took out the "rock wall badge" in the shape of a "wall" in his arms, and said:
"That's not a bad idea!"
…
Monday, June 28th.
The day after the ranked battle.
Since it was a working day, there were far fewer trainers in the castle than yesterday, but many people still arrived at the castle.
Among them, Korni has not yet left the castle.
Battle castle, cafeteria.
Korni's long yellow hair was tied into a ponytail, she covered her mouth and yawned:
"Morning, master."
"Didn't you sleep well?"
"I was so excited to think about playing against Miss Violet today that I didn't sleep all night."
Korni sat down in front of Lu Ye and said.
"This is too exaggerated." Lu Ye said while drinking coffee.
"Not at all! It is said that the powerful waveguide messenger can use meditation to replace sleep!"
Korni opened her eyes wide to distinguish, and you could see her serious expression and the bloodshot eyes in the whites.
"This is the first time I've heard of it," Lu Ye said, "I'll give it a try when I get back."
Korni was stunned for a moment.
Yes... Teacher Lu is also a wave guide messenger
Trying to use her weak waveguide, Kerni looked at Teacher Lu in front of her, and her expression suddenly froze.
The gap is too big, it hurts your self-confidence!
Korni chewed the bread glumly.
Luye said: "Can I see your Lucario?"
"Of course." Korni agreed readily, pressed the elf ball, and a beam of white light immediately flew out, with the outline of Lucario appearing.
"Luca!" Lucario looked cold and cold, like a loyal guard, with bright red eyes.
Lu Ye tried to use "Superpower" to sense, but said helplessly:
"For Lucario, who is a physical attack oriented, there is no need to use meditation to increase the special attack effort... Next time, try using "Fitness" and "Sharpening"."
"Eh?" Korni was startled and realized that her Lucario was indeed different from her grandfather's Lucario.
According to the master, it might really be possible...
While Korni was meditating, Luye shot Lucario's "Waveguide Power", and the latter narrowed his eyes in relief.
Korni called: "Lucario?"
"Luca!" Lucario suddenly tightened his face and returned to seriousness.
The waveguide originating from the original tree of the world is quite pure and benevolent energy for most Pokémon.
As for the messenger who uses the "power of waveguide", it is hard to say whether it is pure or not...
Lu Ye coughed lightly and said, "Are there any other gym leaders coming today?"
Yesterday, I only got one badge all day long.
Teacher Lu secretly rejoiced.
It seems that you don’t have to worry about Violet and Chakra, the “Insect Badge” and the “Rock Badge” anymore!
Kerni thought for a while and said: "Hmm...it seems that there is a museum owner who came from afar, Mr. Defu from Yingxue City."
In every generation, there is almost a town and gym covered in ice and snow.
In the Carlos region, Yingxue City is a small town with snowfall all year round, and the owner is an old and hale and hearty old man named Defu.
Korni said with admiration: "Mr. Defu is the eighth gym owner of Carlos... He is a passionate trainer who is good at guiding newcomers and stimulating their strength!"
"Does he have a Blizzard King?" Lu Ye asked.
After receiving Kerni's affirmative reply, Lu Ye suddenly understood.
This is the Ice Gym Leader who uses Mega Blizzard King to fight Ash's version of Koga Ninja in the anime.
With a strong appearance and a soft heart, Defu is known as the "hot and thick ice". Compared with Uncle Liu's almost unhuman and strict guidance, Defu is more favored by trainers.
Although the ice element has many weaknesses, it also has an extremely wide range of attack properties, making it a sharp double-edged sword.
"Since ancient times, the ice system has produced strong people." Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Uncle Liu and Aunt Ke's 'ice doll'.
"That's right, Master."
Korni said in a low voice: "Mr. Defu is also a Marquis. You and he are likely to be a good match."
Lu Ye was slightly startled and said in deep thought:
"It doesn't matter, just don't give me the "Iceberg Badge"..."
"How is that possible? Of course the gym owner will give out a badge to a favored trainer. This is a tradition~" Korni said with a smile.
Lu Ye: "..."
Lu Ye: "I remember... Caidou is one generation higher than you, so you have to call her senior sister."
Korni:???
That's my old enemy...you actually want to call her senior sister?
Korni's cheeks turned red and she didn't know what to think for a moment.
A maid walked up to Lu Ye and whispered:
"Marquis Luye, your random opponent is ready."
"Which trainer?"
"It's Mr. Defu from Yingxue City."
The dark ball on his waist started to shake, and Lu Ye could feel the little guy's strong fighting spirit.
I closed my eyes and recalled the little guy's determined, stern, king-like eyes.
