Chapter 156: Water Wave Secret Technique!
Normally, such an existence would have no need at all to become someone else’s Guardian.
Although Trainers who intend to become Guardians are all those lacking resources and with no future, Yao Yifei should not be short of money.
It must be known that the other party is a renowned Coordinator in Jiuzhou and even the entire Asian Alliance; a single endorsement is tens of millions to over a hundred million, and they simply do not lack money.
Moreover, Yao Yifei is also the Gym Leader of Qingmu City; with a single word, every city’s Gym enjoys 1%~2% of the city’s tax revenue.
This alone amounts to at least several million a year, after all, Qingmu City is not a city like Qingfeng City that lacks pillar industries.
Plus, Yao Yifei’s first tier includes a Vespiquen, so there’s even less need to mention how wealthy she is.
The revenue brought by a single Gym Level Vespiquen is at least several million a year at minimum.
No exaggeration, no denigration, Lu Li suspects Yao Yifei might be richer than the Gym Groups of second-tier cities.
“Why is this person on the list?” Lu Li asked curiously.
The long-haired Police Captain next to Qu Zhengyi smiled and said, “This, I actually know.”
Lu Li looked at her curiously.
“It’s said to be because of boredom, but whether you want her to become your Guardian depends not on you, but on her.”
After the long-haired Police Captain finished speaking, she looked at Lu Li with a smile.
Lu Li smiled shyly: “Can you help me apply?”
Qu Zhengyi did not object; as a Rookie Trainer, Lu Li choosing Yao Yifei was not strange to her at all.
Which youth could resist Yao Yifei’s charm? She is one of the Asian Alliance’s top ten Star Coordinators.
Qu Zhengyi reminded: “No problem, but I suggest you pick a backup.”
“Then Wang Gang.” Lu Li picked another backup.
Wang Gang is of Commoner Origin, and has no dark history himself; he is nearly 50 years old, the kind of existence that has exhausted all strength but can still struggle a bit.
“I will report your request upward, and give you a reply in one day; then I will arrange for you to meet your Guardian, and if both sides are satisfied, you can sign the contract.” Qu Zhengyi said seriously as she put away her laptop.
Lu Li nodded; considering her origin, Lu Li pretended to hesitate to speak.
“If you have something to say, just say it directly; I don’t eat people.” Qu Zhengyi rolled her eyes speechlessly at Lu Li.
“If I choose Yao Yifei, will that offend your Qu Family?” Lu Li asked cautiously.
Qu Zhengyi looked at Lu Li with a strange expression and asked: “Why would you think that?”
Lu Li: “Didn’t she just say that you and the Yao Family are political enemies?”
“Our Qu Family and the Yao Family do not get along, but the problem is that Yao Yifei is just a collateral branch of the Yao Family; we are not so lacking in integrity as to target a collateral branch.
Also, Yao Yifei publicly claims to be a Flying Type Trainer, which already proves her will, so we have even less reason to target her.” Qu Zhengyi explained.
Whether it’s Jianghu or the political arena, it’s not about killing; if their Qu Family really targeted Yao Yifei, wouldn’t that just push her toward the Yao Family?
A proper Gym Level Trainer is not to be underestimated.
Don’t think that every first-tier city’s Police Captain is a Gym Trainer, but Trainers differ from Trainer.
Yao Yifei has six Gym Level Pokémon, while a Police Captain has only one Gym Level Pokémon; the gap between them doesn’t even need analysis to know who has greater deterrence.
After getting the answer he wanted, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Hmm!
He chose Yao Yifei mainly for three reasons.
The first is because she is young and beautiful, and also a Star Trainer.
The second is because he covets her resources; the Honey resources in Yao Yifei’s hands are essential for a newly established family, especially since he is a Breeder.
Finally, it’s because of Yao Yifei’s strength.
After leaving the police station, Lu Li did not return to the hotel, but instead found a new hotel near the Police Captain to stay in.
Still that saying.
Being cautious when weak is not wrong; Lu Li also worries that if the other side fails once, they might send a Gym Level Trainer to assassinate him.
Staying near the police station, even if a Gym Level Trainer comes to assassinate him, he can hold out until support arrives.
As for Heavenly Kings?
If a Heavenly King is really dispatched to assassinate him, Lu Li would just admit it.
A Heavenly King’s existence is no less than a national nuclear weapon; Lu Li really can’t imagine what merit he has to attract nuclear strikes during his Rookie Trainer period.
After Lu Li checked into the hotel, on the rooftop of the building opposite the hotel, a middle-aged man in a trench coat whispered: “This guy is quite cautious; it seems the Family Head’s worry was unnecessary.”
………..
The next morning.
After getting up, brushing teeth, and washing his face, Lu Li headed to the Pokémon Center.
This opponent’s matchup was much easier than Long Lingling’s, and both rounds’ opponents were easy to deal with.
Bringing the Charmander that had won consecutive victories again, Lu Li returned to the hotel.
Before the Guardian arrives, Lu Li decided to live a two-point-one-line life and avoid those grey areas as much as possible.
“I wonder if Nandu City has a Black Market.” Lu Li muttered inwardly.
Just as night was about to fall, the phone rang.
Lu Li originally thought it was Qu Zhengyi calling, but upon seeing the caller ID, Lu Li realized he had overthought it.
“Lili, have you come out of the Secret Realm?” Lu Li asked with a smile.
“Yes, just came out of the Secret Realm.”
Yu Lili’s excited voice came from the phone.
Lu Li teased: “From your tone, it seems you gained quite a bit from this Secret Realm?”
“Of course, I got my third companion in the Secret Realm, and it’s a very powerful one!”
Water Type powerful Pokémon are relatively small, and Lu Li was quite curious what powerful Pokémon Yu Lili was referring to.
Lu Li: “What is it? Can you share?”
“Of course!”
“It’s a Piplup Pokémon Egg! This little guy’s father is a Heavenly King Level Swampert.” Yu Lili excitedly boasted.
“Offspring of a Heavenly King Level Swampert? Your luck is that good?”
Lu Li was also a bit surprised.
Offspring of a Heavenly King Level Starter Pokémon, its value goes without saying.
Yu Lili’s haul was absolutely heaven-defying luck.
“And there’s more!”
Yu Lili’s smug voice rang out again.
Lu Li: “There’s more?”
Yu Lili: “Of course!”
“You just mentioned its father; who is its mother?” Lu Li was happy to play along with Yu Lili’s rhythm.
Seeing Lu Li so cooperative, Yu Lili contentedly revealed the final bombshell: “It’s the Overlord of Shuibo Secret Realm, a powerful Ferrothorn.”
Lu Li: “???”
If he remembered correctly, Shuibo Secret Realm is a medium-sized Secret Realm, and the Overlord Pokémon inside is Champion Level.
So Yu Lili obtained a Pokémon Egg from a Champion Level Pokémon?
What kind of luck is this?
But considering the Suicune Scale she carries, Lu Li somewhat understood why Yu Lili’s luck was so heaven-defying.
Next, the extremely eager-to-share Yu Lili chatted simply with him about her experiences in Shuibo Secret Realm.
Roughly, her teacher brought three apprentices including Yu Lili into Shuibo Secret Realm, and successfully met the Ferrothorn as the Secret Realm Overlord.
Perhaps because of some deal between Shuibo Gym and the Overlord of Shuibo Secret Realm, Yu Lili and the other two got a chance at a test.
The reward for passing the test was to take away an offspring of the Overlord Pokémon, and in the end Yu Lili passed and got that Pokémon Egg.
This sounds quite coincidental, but to Lu Li, it was inevitable.
She possesses a Divine Item; as long as she is willing to visit more Water Type Secret Realms, abducting offspring of Water Type Secret Realm Overlord Pokémon is really quite easy.
Of course, the premise is that those Secret Realm Overlords have established relations with humans and know humans’ power.
If it were an unexplored Secret Realm, after those Overlord Pokémon learn of the Divine Item on Yu Lili, the probability they would seize it is definitely higher than giving her benefits.
It must be known that Divine Items help Pokémon break through to Divine Realm, though the help may be small, it is indeed effective.
“Then congratulations, you’ve successfully gained a powerful companion; by the way, has your Piplup hatched yet?” Lu Li asked curiously.
Yu Lili replied: “Not yet, just one day left.”
“Then you’d better be careful; offspring of a Champion Level Pokémon is quite tempting.” Lu Li reminded.
Offspring of a Champion Level Pokémon would tempt even ordinary Gym Level Trainers, even willing to take some risk for it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my eyes open, and there’s my teacher at the Gym; no one dares to act rashly.” Yu Lili comforted.
Lu Li wanted to say that he meant for Yu Lili to guard against her teacher, but considering that the Shuibo Gym Leader was already a Heavenly King Level Trainer.
Lu Li felt that person probably wouldn’t abandon their integrity for one egg.
Of course, one should not have ill intentions toward others, but must guard against them, so Lu Li specially reminded Yu Lili.
Shuibo Gym, dojo rest area.
The middle-aged man smiled at Yu Lili: “Finished chatting with your little boyfriend?”
Following her teacher’s gaze, Yu Lili nodded embarrassedly.
Shuibo Gym Leader comforted: “Don’t be embarrassed; experiencing the taste of emotions while young is right.”
Yu Lili did not reply, just looked at Shuibo Gym Leader curiously.
After returning to school, Shuibo Gym Leader said seriously: “You’ve gained the recognition of that Overlord; teacher wants to formally take you as a disciple.”
Apprentice and disciple are two different things.
This is roughly equivalent to outer disciple and personal disciple.
In other words, if Yu Lili successfully becomes a disciple, she will have inheritance rights to Shuibo Gym.
With almost no hesitation, Yu Lili performed a grand salute, then respectfully said: “Disciple pays respects to teacher.”
Shuibo Gym Leader nodded satisfiedly at Yu Lili.
At first he just wanted to give face to that newly promoted Heavenly King Level Trainer, but after these days of observation, he found Yu Lili really has some talent.
Though not necessarily Champion material, Heavenly King is guaranteed.
“Rise; since you’ve formally become my disciple, as your master I will teach you everything I know; do you know what our Shuibo Gym is most famous for?”
Yu Lili answered decisively: “Shuibo Secret Technique.”
Shuibo Secret Technique, the advanced secret technique of Water Pulse, a very violent secret technique with continuous special effects.
