It was late at night, in the Central Park of Veil City, Luther and Acerola were sitting on a bench, eating steaming snacks, and waiting for something.
Luther originally wanted to bring Dawu with him, but Dawu said that the other party only invited Luther, so it would be better not to go.
When Acerola saw Daigo wanting to go, she immediately raised her hand and asked to be replaced.
Before long, a man wearing a black coat, with his hands in his pockets and a hood appeared in Luther's field of vision.
Although it has been autumn for a long time in Sinnoh, the weather is still hot. I don't know how he can bear it when he is wrapped up so tightly.
Seeing that Luther was not the only one present, the visitor visibly hesitated.
"Senior Luther, although it is already very late, there are still many people around here. You really don't think about me."
Shinnosuke did not lift his hood, but looked around and sat opposite Luther.
"I said, I like to talk while eating. You should have guessed that the place I chose would be like this." Luther said, "In addition, if you are really as crazy as the rumors say, you will be
You don’t care if you recognize it, right?”
"Senior Luther has always kept a low profile. I wonder if he is afraid of trouble?"
As a matter of fact, Luther has always been a person who is afraid of trouble.
Shinnosuke is a good observer of words and emotions, and you will understand it when you see Luther's expression.
The two looked at each other and smiled. In this aspect, the two people were similar.
"A person who is afraid of trouble and travels all the way to Sinnoh to compete in the ring is not very convincing."
Shinnosuke looked up the phone number of the Mumu City Gym, and then hoped that Li could help him contact Luther.
After hearing the news, everyone who was still celebrating Shijana's victory felt that it would be better for Luther not to come forward.
Judging from a series of events, Shinnosuke seems to like to use others' influence. If Luther appears rashly, it is not ruled out that Shinnosuke intends to drag Qidao into trouble.
But Luther thought about it for a long time and came to the same opinion as Dawu.
You can see it.
Shijana's victory was something they had predicted a long time ago, but another thing was completely different from what they thought.
Shinnosuke himself does not seem to be as obsessed with winning or losing as rumored, and he has no emotional fluctuations at all due to failure.
Dawu and Luther discussed it privately, and they always felt that there seemed to be parts of this matter that they could not see, both inside and out.
Shinnosuke did not answer Luther's words, but chose to remain silent.
After a long time? He glanced around, took off his hood, and bowed to Luther.
Luther sighed. A certain premonition in his heart became stronger.
"It seems that what I said is right? Many people have been fooled."
Shinosuke's tone was sincere: "Now I can't come forward to apologize to Binhai and Yangxin's trainers, so? Even if only you, Luther-senpai, know about it, I'm really sorry."
Arcelora was so shocked by the sudden apology that she couldn't even eat her snack? Her curiosity was aroused, and her eyes flicked back and forth between Luther and Shinnosuke. She wanted to know immediately what was going on.
Is it possible that this farce is not over yet?
Luther motioned Shinnosuke to sit down, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "It is rumored that you are very good at borrowing others' influence? A person who uses other people's popularity to become famous? Including Karuna, the same is true in the contact with you.
feel."
"Your attitude towards Karuna is contemptuous and arrogant. Trainers who are the same age as Carlos think you are too arrogant. Trainers who are older than you say you have talent but no virtue."
"After coming to Sinnoh, did you step on Yang Xin? Binhai's trainer came to power and made the matter so big that even the champion of the Sinnoh Alliance was paying attention..."
This was not the first time for Shinnosuke to see a powerful trainer, he had been in contact with Karuno before.
Different from Kalunai's gentleness? The Luther in front of him had an incomprehensible sense of awe. Just being stared at like this made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Just as Shinnosuke was about to say something, Luther's words came.
"Shinosuke, has anyone ever seen the real you?"
This was the first time in Shinnosuke's life that someone asked him directly to his soul. Not only did he not feel scared, but he felt relaxed all over.
He invited Luther out because he wanted to apologize to Qidao.
Although he didn't know whose disciple Shijana was, he must have not escaped from Qidao.
The momentum accompanying him this time is too great. Whoever wins, the heat will transfer accordingly, and the person who defeats him will be lifted up into the clouds.
No matter who is faced with such a force that is beyond their control and cannot even be evaluated rationally, they will be afraid.
He thought about several ways to help Shijana resolve the situation, and originally wanted to talk after meeting.
But after seeing Luther, he still chose to apologize first.
The kindness he released was neither ridiculed nor met with indifference. Faced with Luther who was thinking calmly and had already guessed, Shinnosuke lowered his guard.
"Maybe you and the people on the island are the first."
"Not even your parents?"
Shinnosuke smiled awkwardly.
"My father has always believed that I am an extremely talented trainer and will continue to be strong. He started planning to use my abilities to make more money a few years ago."
"My mother has always been in poor health and spends most of her time in bed. She can teach me but rarely takes care of me."
"In their eyes, I'm just a kid with a strong talent for fighting elves, that's all."
Luther finally found the thread that made both him and Dawu feel something was wrong.
Shinnosuke, the arrogant Shinnosuke who was at the center of the deep turmoil, turned out to be a skin created by a disguise.
The unnatural feeling was there from the beginning.
Karuna came into contact with her twice and confided in her heart to heart, but Shinnosuke did not take the initiative to meet her.
"You didn't see Kalu because you were afraid of being seen through?"
"I am from Carlos, and I am in awe of Karuna. In my opinion, she is like a person floating in the clouds. It is impossible for my little cleverness to escape her eyes, so I can only do this."
"I heard from Oleander that you seemed to have the idea of showing up at the airport to gain popularity, and there were also rumors spread before."
Shinnosuke nodded: "I did have this idea at the time. When I met Karuna on that occasion, there were too many things that could be exaggerated. Regardless of whether Sinnoh is a trip, it will make the storm bigger."
"Only when things get bigger and bigger this time, instead of a kid squandering his talent and brazenly fighting with his peers, can I have a chance to escape."
Shinnosuke looked a little lonely, and he said sadly: "My father threw me into the profit-seeking field of capital, and shared the interests born because of me with big capital, but he never expected that he would share the profits with capital.
Dancing is dangerous."
"Capital will only gather according to the taste, like bloodthirsty sharks, the more they gather, the more they gather."
"At this time, it is capital that is driving him, rather than him joining forces with capital."
Luther was silent for a long time, and Acerola was also speechless.
The words were brief, but they could all hear that Shinnosuke was disappointed in his father.
"Didn't your father... try to stop?"
Shinnosuke laughed as if he heard something funny.
It's just that the laughter is a little sad.
"What he saw was the crazy entry of capital, which turned into numbers on his accounts."
"But what I saw was the horrific scene of me being lifted up into the clouds and then smashed into a pulp."
