Caizhong felt that he should be the last among Luther's friends to rush to Qidao.
Originally, she had already landed on Qidao to experience Luther's wedding and the New Year's atmosphere on Qidao with Xiaosong and the others, but because of something, she had to return to EMI City.
This fall, her trainee trainer training class admitted a new group of students, including a few overly active children.
These children don't understand their parents enrolling them in classes. They think that becoming a trainer doesn't need to be so troublesome, as long as they have elves and start traveling.
Caizhong corrected their misconception at the beginning of the course, but people who have never suffered a loss cannot remember the pain.
Several children in the class gathered together years ago, bought Poke Balls with the New Year's money distributed in advance, and plunged into the EMI Forest without thinking.
This made the parents and the police of EMI City anxious.
The winter in EMI Forest is no joke. A large number of elves, because of their sensitivity to food preservation, will regard creatures that enter their territory without authorization as enemies who intend to plunder their food.
In other words... people who are not hibernating are basically more aggressive than other times.
Caizhong and the police searched in the woods for a long time before they found the shivering children in a remote cave, sharing food with some kind-hearted gophers.
This group of children brought a lot of Poké Balls with them before setting off, but this time they had none.
I heard from them that they would throw the ball when they saw the elves along the way, but either they missed the ball due to accuracy issues, or the elves were unhappy and knocked it away.
The Poké Balls cannot be recycled, and many elves simply use their skills to smash them, without giving them a chance to take action again.
In the snowy winter, there were no markers in EMI Forest. After they got lost, they thought they were going to be in trouble.
If a few kind-hearted gophers hadn't seen them when they were out carrying tree fruits buried in the snow, and were willing to take them to their own homes for shelter, they would have paid a huge price for their youth.
The frightened children still remembered who saved them, and wanted to thank the gopher when they left.
However, because too many people came, the gopher directly dug a hole and returned to the ground, which made everyone a little regretful.
However, there are good things. When classes start next year, it is estimated that no more children in the class will say "Give me a Poké Ball, and I will tame each one when I see it."
When we arrived near Binhai City, Cai Zhong felt a slight chill on his face.
"Is it raining?"
Caizhong, who was sitting on the tropical dragon, stretched out his hands. Raindrops fell on his palms, and a cold feeling spread.
Not only was it raining, but after arriving at the beach, Cai Zhong was surprised to find that the waves on the sea were quite rough.
Fortunately, it was the Chinese New Year, and no boatmen would go out to sea at this time, otherwise this sudden storm would cause them a lot of trouble.
But it has nothing to do with her. She doesn't use water anyway. She just needs to fly above the island and pass through the dragon's nest by brushing her face.
A large number of trainers gathered at the port closest to the island in a straight line.
Most of them are people who usually surround the fog wall and want to break through the fog wall with their own strength. There are also many people who have not been invited by Qidao and want to watch Luther's wedding formation from the outside.
The wedding of Luther and Mai is now big news in the Sinnoh region. For this reason, many reporters squatted outside the fog wall a day in advance.
However, starting at four o'clock in the morning this morning, strong winds began to blow in the sea area around Qidao, followed by heavy rain that still shows no signs of stopping.
They could understand that the weather at sea was unpredictable, but it happened to rain heavily on the day of Luther's wedding, which inevitably made people think that Luther was unlucky.
The head of the Tanida family, Haru Tanida, was sitting in the ship that was shaken by the wind and waves, closing his eyes and meditating.
His youngest son, Makoto Tanita, who was brought by him, walked into the restaurant where he was resting, with a playful smile on his face.
"Dad, look at how strong the wind is outside. It's so interesting. I really want to see their expressions when we get to Qidao."
"The weather is not good. When they sent the letter, they said that the wedding would be held outdoors, but this storm suddenly came without a weather forecast."
Tanidaji opened his eyes a little, looked at the smile on Tanida Cheng's face, and waved to him.
Thinking that his father had something to entrust him with, Makoto Tanida squatted down.
"Crack!"
Tanita Cheng covered his face which was red from being slapped, and looked at his father in shock, as if he didn't recognize him.
"You think it's weird, you want to blame me for hitting you for someone else?"
There was a chill in Tanidaji's deep voice. His impatient fingers kept tapping on the chair, and there was only indifference in his slowly opened eyes.
"You are still so outspoken. After Luther came back from Galar, you started talking arrogantly. I gave you repeated orders to restrain yourself, but I never thought that you would become even more aggressive."
"Today is the wedding day of Luther and Mai. We have no interest disputes or grudges with Qidao."
"As an ordinary person, you should have the basic qualities to bless the newlyweds. As a member of the Gutian family, you should also know that your words and deeds will be linked to the Gutian family."
"I..." Tanita Cheng wanted to explain nervously.
"You are my son. I protect you and love you. I have carried everything before for you."
"Luther is not an aggressive madman. I released my kindness and he didn't take people like you to heart. This matter is considered to be exposed."
"dad!"
Tanita Cheng gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger welling up in his heart, and said: "So I want to make a fool of myself at his wedding as punishment for my unbridled speech?"
"Where did you put my pride?"
Tanidaji sighed softly, looking at Tanida Cheng with only indifference in his eyes.
"A-Cheng, our family is big and our business is big. Your brothers and sisters don't want to be dragged down by you."
"No matter how powerful his island is, it's just an island. The people attending the wedding are just giving him Luther some face. Do you really think he has the ability to make even the Sinnoh Alliance fear him?"
"Old John and Roz of Galar are both useless. This gives Luther room to show off his talents. Does anyone really think that Qidao can fight against an alliance?"
"The Island is just a strange product that appeared under the acquiescence of the Sinnoh Alliance. Just like the Island of Armor that was born due to the compromise between Galar and Ma Shide due to the match-fixing incident, they are both deformities born under specific circumstances!"
"The voices within the alliance are now leaning towards Qidao, but that does not mean that the next batch of senior executives will continue to support it."
"Sooner or later, the senior officials of Sinnoh will feel that it is very irritating to have a private territory with huge influence within their own territory that is not under their jurisdiction."
"The legend created by one generation will be overthrown by the next generation. How many times have we seen this happen!"
Tanidaji smiled, his eyes no longer cold, but rather sad.
These two complex emotions appeared in Tanidaji, making him more and more tired.
As a well-known media giant in the Sinnoh region, his energy is limited, and not every child can be educated well.
Makoto Tanita's analysis is very good, and it can be seen that he has his own way of thinking.
Unfortunately, he did not properly screen the information from beginning to end, so he was fed wrong information and came to a conclusion he thought was correct.
"A-Cheng, our Gutian family has been based in Sinnoh for a hundred years as a media company."
"In the beginning, it was a 'pigeon' that carried letters on the street, then it became a newspaper office that printed newspapers, and then it became a platform in the era of online media."
"We use various methods to disseminate all kinds of information. This information is messy and disorganized, and the audience cannot correctly distinguish it. After accepting it in full, they come to one-sided views and claim to know all the truth."
"But you, young master of the Gutian family, you have such huge information channels, yet you are still so ignorant."
Makoto Tanita blushed. He didn't feel that his analysis was wrong at all. In his eyes, Qidao was a deformity that was tacitly allowed to exist by many alliances at a special time. This will not change!
Once there is a collision between Qidao and the Alliance in the future, the special nature of Qidao will be wiped out.
But Haru Tanida didn't want to explain any more. He believed that everything he saw would make Makoto Tanita understand why he said that he didn't make full use of the information channels of the Tanida family.
The Tanita family's ship arrived in front of the fog wall. Facing the airtight wall, the housekeeper took out the wedding invitation issued by Qidao.
Before the butler could say anything, the fog wall retreated to both sides.
The wall of fog, the barrier that separated the island from the outside world, and the wall of sighs that made countless information hopeless, was finally crossed by himself.
Arriving at the bow of the ship, facing the wind and rain, Tanidaji saw the outline of the island in the distance.
Tanidaji also saw the elf that controlled the opening and closing of the fog wall, a Gardevoir walking on the water.
The strange thing is that although the wind is howling outside and the rain is pouring, after entering the island, the wind and rain are much lighter, and can even be said to be gentle.
There are not many ships moored at the port of Qidao. The sudden storm made many guests choose to take the elf flight to Qidao.
People outside the island are complaining about the weather problem. After all, it should have seriously disrupted Luther's wedding arrangements, and it is a troublesome matter.
But the people on the island didn't take it seriously and were all waiting to watch the show.
After getting up in the morning, they felt strange when they saw the sudden storm. Lugia was stationed on the island, so even if the weather was suddenly very bad, they should have given Luther a warning.
No warning was provided, and there was no doubt that this was Luther's own drama.
Therefore, they all have the attitude of "I want to see what tricks you are going to do."
As for Acerola, who had guessed her master's operation, she was naturally banned by Mai on the grounds that she wanted someone to accompany her.
"If you expose your master's tricks, I will join him..." Mai made a face-squeezing gesture.
Acellola said sternly: "Master is Master, I can't guess what I'm thinking. I didn't guess anything!"
