Seeing the big milk tank standing motionless, Queen Basil of the Island walked near the big milk tank, causing a burst of cheers in the neighborhood.
The audience thought Basil was coming to get up close and personal with them.
Looking forward along the line of sight of the big milk jug, Basil trembled all over and his lips trembled.
"Caizhong has been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you had already left Sinnoh and come to such a far away place."
Luther walked down the steps slowly, came to the guardrail, turned over and jumped down.
Shijana and Acerola followed suit, leaving Kuro Liang sweating profusely and in a dilemma.
You must know that Basil is a well-known figure on Green Mountain Island and even nearby islands. If you offend Basil in person, even if you are a tourist from outside the island, you will not feel comfortable.
He is just a person who gets paid to do things, and he doesn't want to be involved. Standing near the railing at this moment and not moving away is already an explosion of professionalism.
The nearby staff maintaining order thought that Luther and others were ardent fans of Basil, so they shouted at Luther to leave quickly, and came over with the elves to drive them away.
Basil's fans also booed and shouted for Luther to get out of here.
Luther stared closely at Basil. In two years, Basil had grown up a lot. His face, which was originally a little green, had become mature because of the long journey. The combination of his beautiful face and exquisite makeup was enough to captivate her.
fan.
Basil, who was always nervous even when he was competing on stage, disappeared.
Luther once told Basil that he could grow and make great progress as long as he got rid of his timidity.
Basil did it, but Luther didn't feel happy for some reason.
It should have been a great joy to meet an old friend in a foreign country, but the turmoil in Luther's heart at this moment was completely brewed by the fermentation of another emotion.
"Old...teacher."
Basil stuttered a little. Seeing Acerola and Shijana next to Luther, he asked curiously: "Are these two your students?"
Acerola seemed to be very concerned about the identity issue and immediately denied it: "Acerola and Shijana are both Luther's apprentices."
"How long have you been here?" Before Basil could continue to ask, Luther spoke.
"It's been more than a year. Not long after the teacher left EMI City, I started traveling around, and finally took a boat to Green Mountain Island."
Basil's original plan was to go to Alola, but he was worried that he was not strong enough to challenge the Alola Islands, so he stayed on Green Mountain Island to gain experience first.
Relying on the battle experience accumulated during the early stage of setting up arenas in Sinnoh to pursue a winning streak, she quickly established a foothold here. Not only has she never lost a battle, but she has also become the pinnacle of strength as a trainer on Green Mountain Island.
"Teacher, are you coming back from Alola to take a break? Do you plan to go to Unova to participate in the upcoming Higaki Tournament?"
Basil realized the identity of Luther's visitor and guessed.
Luther did not answer, but just smiled and asked: "I heard that Green Mountain Island is not a big place, so there are very few elf eggs. They are basically obtained from other islands, so you are helping, right?"
Basil nodded hesitantly, but she decided to say something: "This is the open sea after all, and the rules are different from those in the Alliance. I just do as the Romans do."
Luther laughed, making Basil a little overwhelmed.
"It's wonderful to do as the Romans do, wonderful, wonderful..." Luther stroked his hands.
The sarcasm in her words made Basil grit her teeth. After enjoying the admiration and praise from everyone over the years, she was no longer the introverted girl she used to be.
She is now one of the most famous people on Green Mountain Island and a celebrity on the nearby islands.
She hadn't felt this feeling of being ridiculed and sarcastic for so long that she suddenly became angry.
But after receiving a sideways glance from Luther, Basil finally chose to breathe hard and calm down his mood.
"Teacher, do you think I did something wrong?"
Luther stared at Basil closely and responded calmly: "If you don't feel guilty, why bother covering up what you did by covering up your wrongdoings."
"If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. You have already deceived yourself and said that you are just doing as the Romans do. What else can I say?"
"I'm very happy to see that Big Milk Can and Fat Keding are still in good spirits. That's it. I'm going back to the ship to rest."
Luther grabbed Acerola and Shijana's hands tightly and walked outside the battlefield.
"Teacher, just say it if you have something to say. Isn't that how you taught us in EMI Gym?"
"Then are you Basil from EMI Gym?" Luther asked.
"I am far stronger now than I was in the past." Basil clenched his fists, "Back then, when I was in the arena at EMI, my goal was to win a hundred consecutive victories, but I fell short."
"My family thought I was useless and could not become a good trainer, so they never gave me any help."
Basil pointed with his finger at the packed audience around him: "Now, look at the audience here."
Basil yelled at the people nearby: "If any of you think that I am not strong, if any of you think that my strength is not worthy of excellence, please speak up!"
As soon as Basil finished speaking, the praises and cheers of "Miss Basil is the strongest" rang out again.
Sounds crowded into Luther's ears from all directions, but he remained indifferent and looked at Basil quietly.
Basil smiled and asked Luther: "Teacher, did you hear it? Did you see it? This is who I am now. I have become stronger and I am no longer the timid guy in the past."
"Big Milk Can and Fat Keding were not elves that could be defeated easily. They and my other elves formed my ace lineup."
"There are still four wins left, and my winning streak will reach 200 wins."
Basil raised his head proudly, "I'm not picky. I will accept any opponent's challenge. I have even defeated many trainers from Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola."
.”
She opened her arms and shouted: "My strength is genuine!"
The highly contagious words caused the people watching the scene to burst into thunderous applause again, which made Basil's face turn red with excitement.
She wanted her teacher to know that she was no longer the same Basil he had taught her.
She wants to prove in front of her teacher that she has walked her own path, is already ahead of her teacher, and is no longer a child who is lectured by others.
Arcelora suddenly felt the hand held by Luther tighten. She looked up and saw an imperceptible sadness on her master's face.
He wanted to hide it, but he didn't know what expression he should use to hide it.
When the applause and cheers all stopped, Luther said to Basil who was waiting for him to speak.
"In the past, whenever Basil heard others questioning him, he would immediately apologize non-stop and blush after saying a word."
"But when she walks to the battle stage, she will forget about those and concentrate on the battle. To this day, I still remember the scene when I played doubles with you and you used a big milk can to repel that Gengar."
"I thought to myself that Basil will definitely be a promising trainer in the future, as long as she is braver."
I don’t know why Luther recalled the past. When Basil heard that she started talking about the past, he was a little embarrassed and wanted to stop Luther from talking.
Luther did not mention those dark histories, but changed his tone and continued.
"Do you still remember what I told you when I left EMI City?"
Luther pointed to his chest and said word by word: "Find her who is lost."
"The forty-nine winning streak was interrupted. When we were devastated, Caizhong and I told you. Do you still remember?"
Luther growled sadly: "Winning consecutively in the arena is just to seek comfort from others, making you feel that you are invincible, and you can't extricate yourself from this kind of pleasure."
"Look at you now, what have you changed?" Luther asked.
Basil, who was scolded, couldn't bear it any longer. She refuted angrily: "Why haven't I changed? Can't you see how powerful I am?"
"What does it mean to feel that you are invincible? What does it mean to have a winning streak to find comfort? Is it possible that my winning streak is bought? Is it possible that I can't be happy if I win a streak?"
Basil pointed at Luther and expressed the truest thought hidden in his heart: "Why do you accuse me like this now? Is it because you taught me in the past?"
"Get it clear, that was in the past tense. Now I call you teacher to respect the care you took for me in EMI City, not to let you stand in front of me and point fingers at me."
"You participated in the Lily of the Valley Conference. Although I couldn't see it on the island and didn't get any news, it must have failed, right?"
"The fact that your current schedule coincides with the gymnasium stage of the Unova Higaki Tournament is enough to prove this point. If you can achieve results in the Suzuran Tournament, why go to Unova?"
"And I defeated the Sinnoh players who participated in the preliminaries of the Suzuran Tournament. I defeated them easily!"
The sound of Basil once again made the people of Greenshan Island and nearby islands laugh with pride.
Along with the sound of telling Luther to get out, a can filled with soda flew towards Luther, but turned strangely in mid-air and flew back into the face of the person who threw the can.
The corner of Luther's mouth twitched, he shook his head slowly, and smiled to himself.
"You know, in fact, I only said so much to you because you called me teacher."
Seeing that her master was being underestimated, Shijana took out the Poké Ball and planned to fight Basil, but was firmly held back by Luther.
"Why don't you let your apprentice come out and try a few tricks? You can completely prove that what I said is wrong." Basil smiled.
Luther did not answer Basil's words, but looked around at the enthusiastic fans nearby who were cursing him, Shijana, and Acerola. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to have the urge to give up.
"Dakrai, tell those people to shut up and make noise!"
Luther waved his hand, and Darkrai jumped out from Luther's shadow. The black ball of light in his hand instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
The people who were insulting Luther just now fell to the ground one after another, causing a cry of exclamation.
On the battlefield where hundreds of people were fighting, more than a hundred people fell in an instant. This scene was horrifying.
Heiliang was sweating profusely. He suddenly realized that those who had fallen down were all the guys who had just scolded Luther and the three of them, while those who were watching the show silently were still standing.
What kind of elf is this? Not only can he instantly remember all the dirty talk, he can also be so accurate that there is no accidental damage.
Seeing the big wolf dog next to him eager to dig a hole in the ground and squat in it, Heiliang immediately understood the source of the big wolf dog's fear before.
Being stared at by Darkrai's blue eyes, Basil felt that her consciousness was gradually moving away from her body, as if she was in an endless darkness, and the invisible cold wind howled, freezing her whole body.
Basil had never seen such an elf before, but she couldn't bear the look in her eyes, so she could only tremble and avoid looking at him.
"Is this Basil, the king of the island? Let's get to know him again."
Luther changed his tone, as if he was wearing Ron's skin, strict and formal.
"The Sinnoh Alliance won the last Suzuran Tournament and is now the island owner."
"Sirona, Kikuno, the fifth heavenly king after the four heavenly kings of Sinnoh."
"And... Shijana and Acerola's master." Luther finally grabbed their hands and added solemnly.
