On the way to Songxue City, Luther saw a large lake and the lights of bonfires dotted around the lake.
A new round of the Lily of the Valley Conference is about to begin, and the challenger roads that Luther is familiar with are full of trainers who are waiting for a blockbuster success in the Lily of the Valley Conference.
Surrounding the lake, the little lights that light up represent a trainer with a dream.
And I was once one of them.
Just as he was sighing at the intoxicating beauty of the silver-white light rippling on the lake surface caused by the moonlight, Luther recalled the scene during his trip when his mind was interrupted by Miaomiao.
Miaomiao, who was standing on Luther's shoulder, pointed at the lake and said something excitedly.
Miaomiao has recognized this place as the place where they helped Luther salvage a mega evolution stone. It was also here that they had a fight with the giant tooth shark that was currently recovering on the island.
If the elves in the lake hadn't helped them at that time, given their level at that time, they would probably have been eaten by the giant tooth sharks who were eager to protect their cubs.
Luther remembered this place because Mai helped him celebrate his first birthday here.
"I recognized him, that's fine. It's so late anyway, and it's not appropriate to go to Songxue City to find someone. Let's rest here temporarily."
Camping out at night is a common thing when traveling, but since the Lily of the Valley Conference, Luther has rarely had the opportunity to do so.
The last time, it seemed that he was still helping track down the traces of the ultimate beast in Alola.
"Don't forget that you are a trainer, and don't forget that everything you have is achieved by being a trainer."
These were the words that surfaced in Luther's heart at the end of the Galar incident and when the Sinnoh Alliance recognized the ownership of the island.
At that moment, he also understood that he could be a salted fish, but he could not indulge himself.
If you forget your identity as a trainer and really regard yourself as the owner of the island, then you will only drift away.
It is important for people to remember their original intentions and what their first dreams are. Many people forget why they work hard and why they want to move forward as they go, and gradually become another person.
"Acerola, do you really think I don't know what tricks you are playing?"
Through the topic of ebb and flow, she opened her mind to herself and constantly stimulated herself, so that in order to verify her words, she had to start working hard.
From beginning to end, Luther saw through Acerola's tricks, but he didn't tell anyone, and instead let everyone think that he had been fooled.
This game is very fun. It is an interaction between master and disciple. One party uses his or her own experience to prove that what the other party said is wrong. No matter what the final result is, it will probably be a good conversation.
The apprentice began to design his master. With such a heart-warming script, Luther felt that it was necessary to let Acerola experience a surprise after everything was over.
With no tent or kitchen utensils, Luther's camping trip seemed to be over before it even started.
The tent is actually nothing. Everyone leans on the Tanabata Bluebird and is covered by the Tanabata Bluebird's wings, so they won't catch a cold, not to mention it's so warm this winter.
Kitchen utensils are a little more difficult to find, but fortunately there are many trainers gathered at the landing area, so you can borrow them.
Calling a young man to stop, Luther explained his request and said he could pay a certain amount of compensation.
The short-haired boy with a red tie on his forehead looked at Luther up and down for a while, then asked with a blank look on his face: "You are traveling without bringing anything?"
"There's no tent, no picnic tools, nothing. Are you still a trainer?"
Luther was asked by a child if he was a trainer. The elves that Luther was active outside the ball were pearl oysters shedding their shells - the clams couldn't hold back anymore.
Although his words were filled with disdain and doubt, the boy still returned to his tent and took out the picnic tools he had just put away.
But the moment before handing it over to Luther, he changed his mind.
"You can use it here. The fire pit is ready and the charcoal fire is still warm. You can do anything quickly."
Luther didn't think this was the young man's deliberate attempt to provide convenience for him. This sudden change was probably because he felt that he was too outrageous and didn't really look like a normal trainer, so he was cautious.
He is a young man with a very good sense of prevention. It seems that in the past two years, the league has implemented the mandatory requirement that trainers must undergo a certain amount of time to study before starting to travel.
Luther continued to chat with the boy while scalding the food.
Although he felt that Luther was very unlike a normal person, the boy still told Luther that his name was Quanshan.
"So you only have one badge now, or was it given to you by Lady Lao?"
Luther's words highlight his low emotional intelligence, but this is not his fault.
After all, he listened to Quanshan's introduction to his bloody battle with Laotai in the Black Gold Gym, and then carefully recalled the elves that Laotai used. Good guy, isn't it a water release army specially designed for flexible lineups?
With the low winning rate of Young Gilas, the Small Fist Stone, and Beibei Nose, this lineup would have made Luther feel capable of fighting the monsters when he first came out.
Izumi blushed and argued: "What do you mean by letting go? Don't insult Mr. Hyota. He fought with me seriously for a long time and even exchanged some experiences with me after it was over. He is a very competent owner."
Luther admitted that if Mrs. Lao was incompetent, she wouldn't be in the top three in the list of most popular restaurant owners every year. Like Caizhong, he is patient and very good at educating new people.
Izumi's plan is to first obtain a fighting-type Songyuki badge at the Songyue City Gym, and then obtain a general-type badge in Hakufu City, the hometown of the current Four Heavenly Kings Yohaku.
If he can win these two badges, he should have enough experience and courage to challenge the Chiefeng Gym where Xiaosong, who is very likely to be one of the future Four Heavenly Kings, is located.
It had been too long since he had traveled, and Luther was a little behind on the information about participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.
He asked curiously: "Didn't the gymnasium in Songxue City be abolished directly after the review? Now someone has passed the alliance review and re-established the gymnasium?"
Quanshan tilted his head, looking at Luther as if he were looking at a fool or some mysterious creature.
The enchanting eyes around him also followed him and made the same movement. The synchronization rate between one person and one elf was extremely high.
"You didn't even collect information about the gym, didn't pay attention to it, and started traveling?" Quanshan clicked his tongue, "Gugu, Miaomiao, and Qixi Bluebird, this lineup, let alone some rich kid who came out to experience being a trainer
Live."
After complaining, Quanshan started to explain to Luther.
"As early as last year, a new gym leader appeared in Songxue City, named Song Dou. He successfully passed the alliance assessment and became a gym leader in Songxue City."
"The original Rock Fist Gym was renamed Songxue Gym after he defeated other competing gym owners."
