Chapter 71: Yu Mom’s Arrangement
“But what I’m more curious about is that Alakazam skilled in prophecy. Combining this notebook and that wanted criminal, that Alakazam’s prophetic talent is indeed somewhat unbelievable.” Yu Lili sincerely exclaimed.
Psychic Type Pokémon skilled in prophecy are not uncommon, but Psychic Type Pokémon that can perfectly and accurately prophesy are extremely rare.
But the Alakazam in this notebook accurately foresaw Qiu Yide’s tragic life.
Yu Lili said with a serious expression: “I think I know this Qiu family from the Northeast Region. If the contents of this notebook are true, then this Qiu Yide is very likely the younger brother of Qiu Yidao, the Psychic Gym Leader of Qingfeng City.”
Qiu Yidao is only Gym Level strength, and his hard strength absolutely cannot compare to her father, but Qiu Yidao is the most troublesome Psychic Type trainer among the 18 attributes.
To offend such a person for a mere 30 million for no reason, this is not a cost-effective deal.
“You don’t need to worry about this. After we kill his younger brother, maybe Qiu Yidao will even have to thank us.” Lu Li comforted.
The notebook clearly states that Qiu Yide stole his older brother’s Pokémon Egg.
Just for this one thing, Qiu Yidao might hate Qiu Yide for a lifetime. Yu Lili might not see it, but Lu Li knows that Qiu Yide’s Drowzee is a Gym Level qualification Pokémon.
After hearing Lu Li’s comfort, Yu Lili also breathed a sigh of relief and said: “That’s true. This matter probably won’t be known to be done by us anyway.”
Lu Li did not take this matter to heart. Leaving aside that the Northeast Region and the Southwest Region are almost tens of thousands of miles apart, even if Qiu Yidao found out, so what?
Now that the matter is settled, thinking too much would only add unnecessary trouble.
Lu Li also roughly knew why his divination in this world didn’t need to fear backlash.
Those Pokémon that can foresee the future are this buggy, so what’s wrong with Lu Li doing some divination to deduce the future?
Lu Li felt that compared to his divination skill and those Psychic Type Pokémon that can foresee the future, those Psychic Type Pokémon are the ones truly cheating.
Lu Li curiously asked: “Is the Foresight of Psychic Type Pokémon really that magical?”
“The prophetic talent of the Alakazam in this notebook is the most outrageous among all the Pokémon I’ve heard of or seen. True Foresight is actually just seeing a certain future scene when using the skill. It is indeed Foresight, but it’s really just that.” Yu Lili explained.
Lu Li curiously asked: “Can Pokémon control the time period of Foresight?”
“Impossible. Foresight is random and does not allow precise prophecy of a specific future time period, nor precise prophecy of the outcome of a specific event.” Yu Lili shook her head and said.
“That’s a relief.” Lu Li also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If those Psychic Type Pokémon could really precisely foresee a specific future segment, that would be truly outrageous.

Northeast Region Hills Branch.
A middle-aged man expressionlessly looked at the black-and-white photograph on the altar.
“My foolish younger brother, wouldn’t it have been better for you to stay obediently at home as a good-for-nothing dandy? Why did you have to go out and get yourself killed?
You even took away the Drowzee that originally belonged to me, but now that you’re dead, this matter is over.
As your older brother, I now forgive you, but as for revenge and such, forget it. After all, this is all your own doing.”
After Qiu Yidao finished speaking, he lit three incense sticks for his younger brother, then left the mourning hall without looking back.
At the moment when Qiu Yide and the Drowzee died, the leader of the Drowzee tribe had already told him this bad news.
The Pokémon that Qiu Yide took away was the offspring of the Drowzee leader, and the Drowzee leader was even a Gym Level Peak Pokémon.
…………
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, the two took a Bidoof together to Qingyun Gym in Qingfeng City.
Lu Li didn’t expect that he would come to Qingyun Gym again in this way.
Jin Fengjiao, who had been waiting in the yard early, looked pleased at the increasingly close black dot approaching.
As that black dot got closer, the appearance of the Bidoof became clearer.
Just after landing, Yu Lili helplessly said: “Mom! I told you there’s no need to wait for us.”
“I’m not here to wait for you.” Jin Fengjiao gave her daughter a glance, then pulled Lu Li with a smile and enthusiastically said: “Come on, Little Li, Aunt has already had breakfast prepared.”
Lu Li, who was being pulled along, could only awkwardly smile beside her. Under Jin Fengjiao’s guidance, Lu Li and Yu Lili entered the living room.
In the living room, besides two maids, there was no one else.
“Does Uncle Yu have something today?” Lu Li asked puzzled.
Yu Lili explained beside him: “My dad is still in the Pokémon Secret Realm right now and will probably come out in a couple of days.”
After taking seats, Jin Fengjiao said flatly: “Serve the dishes.”
As Jin Fengjiao’s words fell, a group of male servants in tailcoats came in carrying plates of exquisite dishes.
Lu Li actually wasn’t very accustomed to this kind of environment and wasn’t used to eating in such a setting, but out of politeness, Lu Li still pretended to eat a few bites.
Noticing this, Jin Fengjiao waved her hand, signaling the servants nearby to leave.
While picking at the food in her bowl, Yu Lili casually asked: “Where’s Jin Huang? That kid isn’t at the gym either?”
Jin Fengjiao explained: “He went to the secret realm with your dad and is preparing to catch his second Pokémon.”
Hearing this, Yu Lili suddenly realized: “Steelix?”
Jin Fengjiao hummed in affirmation.
In this world, besides Generation 9 Pokémon, almost all Pokémon have already appeared, and the evolution of Onix was discovered hundreds of years ago.
Steelix is a very powerful Pokémon with a base stat total as high as 510. The only trouble is that Metal Coats are quite expensive, but for Qingyun Gym, even special Metal Coats can be obtained.
Plus, Steelix is one of the few Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, so Steelix is quite suitable as Jin Huang’s second Pokémon.
Jin Fengjiao added: “When you inherit the gym in the future, Jin Huang will be a good helper.”
Yu Lili retorted: “Who can say for sure about the future? I’m going to become a woman who is a Regional Heavenly King!”
“Even if you become a Regional Heavenly King, Qingyun Gym will still be yours. That is our family’s foundation.” Jin Fengjiao smiled as she picked up a chicken leg for her daughter, then continued:
“At that time, the gym’s nursery can be handed over to Lu Li, and Jin Huang can help you handle the gym challenges from rookie trainers. That way, you can focus on aiming for Heavenly King.”
Lu Li: “…”
Lu Li knew that Jin Fengjiao was hinting at him, and in his heart, he gave this woman a thumbs up.
This arrangement is quite good: he handles the logistics, Jin Huang handles the external affairs, forming a subtle balance so there’s no need to worry about the gym’s power being controlled by outsiders, and Yu Lili just needs to focus on getting stronger.
The plan is perfect, but Jin Fengjiao overlooked one thing: Lu Li’s ambition.
