Chapter 172: The Gift Left By The Ancestors
The so-called Double Powder Ground is the secret technique of the Poison Attribute noble family, and it’s also a quite rare triple fusion technique.
A large-range Poison Gas skill based on the three skills of Sleep Powder, Poison Powder, and Sweet Scent.
This is a divine skill on the battlefield that doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe. Since disciples of the Poison Attribute noble family undergo poison immunity training from childhood, Ducat is not affected by Double Powder Ground, but the opponent may not be.
“Charmander! Flame Counter Shield, then Flame Charge（ copycat version, actually just Flame Enveloping the Entire Body, then use Tackle）!”
After commanding Charmander, Lu Li wrapped his entire body in spiritual energy, held his breath, and rushed into the poison mist.
“Poisoning, huh? Get down here!” Lu Li roared in his heart.
Seeing Lu Li actively diving into the poison mist, Ducat revealed a cold smile.
Their Poison Attribute noble family’s inherited secret technique is no joke. Ordinary people who get hit by this poison gas die nine times out of ten. Even Normal Level Trainers who get hit by this poison gas will fall into a coma and near-death state.
In Ducat’s mind, Lu Li had already lost.
Just as Ducat was about to announce the match result to the referee nearby, a size 42 shoe sole came flying at his face.
Looking at the shoe sole that was getting closer and larger, Ducat’s pupils shrank slightly, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
“How is that possible…”
Amid the commentator’s cry of surprise, Ducat with a shoe print on his face flew backward. By the time he was in mid-air, Ducat had already lost consciousness.
“Trainer entering the field? You think you’re worthy to fight me?” Lu Li spat disdainfully with a full face of contempt.
If Ducat had come up to fight him 1v1, Lu Li might have shown some mercy, but the problem was that this guy had poisoned him.
Ducat: I’m a Poison Attribute noble family trainer—should I not play with poison and fight you hand-to-hand instead?
“Announce the match result.” Lu Li said to the referee not far away.
The referee didn’t speak, but instead stared curiously at the match field covered in poison gas.
Not long after, Venusaur let out a miserable cry, then flew out from the poison mist and landed beside its trainer.
The match ended.
In this match where both trainers entered the field, Lu Li’s side achieved an overwhelming victory.
“Interesting, too interesting.”
In the audience seats, a green-haired young man wearing sunglasses watched the scene with great interest.
Du Yao, the legitimate eldest son and young master of the Poison Attribute noble family Du Family.
At just 26 years old, his strength had already reached Early Gym Level.
“Wrapping the entire body in high-temperature flames to achieve the purpose of burning the poison gas, allowing free movement in the poison gas—quite outstanding flame conjuring ability. Even Heavenly King Level Fire-type Pokémon would find it hard to achieve this degree, right?” Du Yao muttered to himself excitedly.
“Your cousin got beaten up by him, and you’re here appreciating the perpetrator?” Qu Zhengyi complained from the side.
Du Yao said indifferently, “You can’t say it like that. After all, it’s just a match.”
“Heh!”
Qu Zhengyi nearby responded with a cold laugh.
Du Yao asked helplessly, “So, what exactly did I do to offend you? Ever since I arrived in Nandu, you’ve been following me?”
Qu Zhengyi sneered, “Don’t think I don’t know what your Du Family wants to do. My aunt has already told me to keep a close eye on you and absolutely prevent you from contacting Lu Li.”
Du Yao reminded with a gloomy expression, “It’s not just our Du Family interested in the divine item.”
“Other families naturally have people to warn them,” Qu Zhengyi replied.
“So your Qu Family can target someone’s divine item?” Du Yao felt disdain for the Qu Family’s behavior of allowing officials to set fires but not letting commoners light lamps.
“Then you might be disappointed. My aunt isn’t interested in the divine item,” Qu Zhengyi sneered.
Hearing this, the corner of Du Yao’s mouth twitched slightly.
Your Qu Family isn’t interested? That’s because the attribute doesn’t match!
There are no Fairy Type divine items in the Southern Region’s Alliance Treasure Vault at all, but the problem is that there are Poison Attribute divine items inside.
Du Yao asked puzzledly, “So… that Lu Li is from the Qu Family? You’re protecting him so much?”
“Of course!”
Qu Zhengyi nodded as if it were a matter of course.
Although she didn’t know why her aunt was protecting a commoner so much, that didn’t stop her from marking Lu Li with the Qu Family’s label.
“Whatever! I can choose not to interfere with him. But if he picks that Poison Attribute divine item, don’t blame me for not giving face to the Qu Family then.” After saying that, Du Yao left the audience seats.
Later, he still had to visit that useless cousin. After all, he was in Nandu City at least; pretending not to know would somewhat affect family unity.
Qu Zhengyi curled his lips, then followed.
After all, he still had to monitor Du Yao to prevent him from secretly contacting Lu Li.
After leaving the match and returning to the lounge, Lu Li saw Yao Yifei with a face full of smiles.
“Congratulations, though this match you fought was a bit hard to describe.”
Lu Li smiled and retorted, “Hard to describe? You mean the trainer personally entering the field?”
“I bet it won’t be long before you guys issue new match rules, like prohibiting trainers from entering the field to attack trainers,” Yao Yifei teased with a smile.
“I didn’t break any rules. It was Ducat who commanded his Pokémon to attack the trainer first,” Lu Li spread his hands, indicating he was just counterattacking passively.
Yao Yifei comforted, “Don’t worry, the Alliance might change the rules, but they definitely won’t trouble you.”
Lu Li nodded.
After all, he had entered the field to fight the trainer, not the Pokémon. The Alliance really had no reason to trouble him.
“Alright, since the match is over, let’s first…”
Before Yao Yifei could finish, Lu Li impatiently interrupted, “Shouldn’t we go to the Alliance Treasure Vault to pick something?”
“This works too. Here.” Yao Yifei handed Lu Li a badge.
“This is the pass to enter the Alliance Treasure Vault. Your information is already registered on it. You just need to bring this to the Alliance Treasure Vault,” Yao Yifei explained.
Looking at the Alliance badge in his hand, Lu Li nodded.
This badge was a bit like a Gym challenge badge, but the emblem was the Asian Alliance’s emblem.
Holding the badge, Lu Li asked, “Where is the Alliance Treasure Vault?”
“It’s at the Pokémon Center. I’ll take you there now.” Yao Yifei said as she released Espeon.
“Thanks for the trouble, Espeon.” Yao Yifei gently stroked Espeon’s fur.
Espeon nodded lazily, activated Teleport, and the two instantly disappeared from the room.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Li arrived in front of a large door.
“Teleport is really convenient,” Lu Li remarked with some envy.
The Espeon nearby heard it and gave Lu Li a look that said you have good taste.
“See, Psychic Type is stronger than Fairy Type, right?” Espeon called out proudly.
Yao Yifei just gently patted Espeon’s head.
In terms of functionality, Psychic Type Pokémon are absolutely the strongest, no doubt about it.
Yao Yifei warned softly, “I know you’re amazing, but you can’t say that in front of Sylveon.”
The Espeon, warned by its own trainer, curled its lips but didn’t retort further.
To be fair, Yao Yifei was pretty good at training cats… no, Eevee.
“I can only send you here. Next, you have to go through layers of authentication to enter the Alliance Treasure Vault,” Yao Yifei reminded from the side.
Lu Li nodded, then walked over with the badge.
The Alliance Treasure Vault was underground, and the vault was surrounded by special metal to prevent Pokémon from digging in from underground.
“Hello, I’m the trainer entering the vault.” Lu Li politely handed the badge to the guard.
An Arcanine stood next to the guard. It sniffed Lu Li lightly, then nodded to the guard nearby.
This layer of checkpoint was mainly to verify if Lu Li was impersonated by someone else.
You know, the Pokémon World has outrageous Pokémon like Ditto. Unlike in anime where Ditto’s eyes don’t change after transformation, in the Pokémon World, powerful Ditto after transformation look exactly like clones; it’s almost impossible to tell true from false just by the eyes.
This was also why Arcanine had sniffed Lu Li earlier—Arcanine was determining if Lu Li was a Pokémon or carrying a transforming monster.
“Go in.” The person next to the guard team nodded.
The metal door was slowly raised, and Lu Li walked in with excitement.
As the metal door slowly lowered, Yao Yifei’s gaze flickered.
Originally, she had wanted to ask Lu Li to consider the Flying Attribute when choosing the divine item, but considering she didn’t have much favor with Lu Li and they’d known each other less than a week, she ultimately didn’t have the nerve to speak up.
“Damn! He went in so fast?”
An angry voice came from behind Yao Yifei.
It was a young man who looked arrogant at first glance. Yao Yifei frowned.
“Yo~ Isn’t this the Yao Gym Leader?” The arrogant youth looked at Yao Yifei disdainfully and shouted.
“Tan Ye? What are you doing here?” Yao Yifei frowned and asked.
Tan Ye, the legitimate eldest son of the Heavenly King Family Tan Family, whose father is the Regional Heavenly King, and he himself is also a Gym Leader.
Most importantly, Tan Ye had pursued her before. Knowing what kind of person Tan Ye was, Yao Yifei was particularly disgusted with him.
Yao Yifei said coldly, “I took on the Alliance’s Guardian mission.”
Hearing this, Tan Ye’s expression changed, then he sneered, “Then you’re pretty lucky, and that commoner’s luck is pretty good too.”
“Looks like that commoner will pick the Flying Type divine item. What a shame, a wasted trip.”
Cursing under his breath, Tan Ye turned and left without any hesitation.
If it was before Lu Li entered the vault, he would definitely have tried, but now that the person in question was gone, there was no point staying.
After Tan Ye left, a middle-aged woman soon arrived. Upon discovering at the scene that Lu Li had already entered the vault, she also turned and left, without even greeting Yao Yifei.
“Only people from Heavenly King Families came; looks like some smaller powers were blocked,” Yao Yifei thought thoughtfully.
…………
After entering the Alliance Treasure Vault, Lu Li underwent three more checks before finally entering the vault.
The vault’s area wasn’t large, with a total area of even less than 400 square meters.
Arriving at the outer circle, Lu Li curiously looked around.
The Alakazam next to Lu Li reminded via telepathy, “You can only look. If you like one, use the badge in your hand to unlock it.”
Lu Li nodded upon hearing this.
The outer circle was indeed as Yao Yifei had said—full of Pokémon Secret Treasures here.
He currently didn’t lack Pokémon Secret Treasures, or rather, he didn’t need them at this stage.
After curiously browsing to broaden his horizons, Lu Li requested to go to the middle second circle.
The old Alakazam didn’t refuse, after all, Lu Li’s badge allowed entry to the inner circle.
Arriving at the middle second circle, Lu Li was even more surprised.
Because the middle second circle had no Pokémon Secret Treasures or divine items, but all sorts of notebooks.
“Here you can find training notes left by commoner Heavenly Kings from past generations. Those Heavenly Kings, having no families of their own, put their lifelong learnings here after passing away.”
Hearing this, Lu Li curiously started browsing.
Grass Type Heavenly King—Meng Xin Notes.
Bug Type Heavenly King—A Dou Notes.
Flying Type Heavenly King—Hunter Sky Notes.
Poison Type…
“All the notes left here are from commoner Heavenly Kings?” Lu Li asked curiously.
The old Alakazam nodded, then explained, “Heavenly Kings with their own families would never hand over their notes. Only those without descendants leave notes to find successors.”
“By the way, these notes come with a contract,” the old Alakazam reminded.
“Contract?”
Lu Li looked at the old Alakazam curiously.
“Yes, a contract!” The old Alakazam nodded, then explained, “The Pokémon left by those Heavenly Kings haven’t passed away; they left the real world and entered a secret realm.”
“The Alliance knows the locations of these Pokémon. As long as you have the notebook, you can go find the notebook owner’s Pokémon. If you’re lucky and capable enough, you won’t even have to worry about Pokémon.”
Lu Li narrowed his eyes looking at these notes. If there were no divine items, he would definitely choose one of these notebooks without hesitation.
Getting a notebook was equivalent to becoming the successor of those Heavenly Kings. Though you couldn’t inherit the notebook owner’s Pokémon, you could use the notebook to capture descendants of the notebook owner’s Pokémon.
Descendants of Heavenly King Level Pokémon, born in a secret realm at that—their qualifications would absolutely not be low, possibly even frighteningly high.
For ordinary people, getting one of these notebooks was like getting a ticket to Heavenly King Level.
Lu Li deliberately counted the empty display cases, meaning three predecessors had taken three notebooks here—equivalent to three contracts passed on.
Strongly resisting the temptation, Lu Li said, “Take me to the inner circle.”
The Alakazam nodded.
It had long guessed Lu Li’s choice.
No one could resist the temptation of a divine item, not even a guaranteed ticket to Heavenly King Level.
The inner circle was even smaller.
In the spacious room, there were only six boxes made of crystal.
The old Alakazam asked, “Do you need me to introduce the information on these items?”
Lu Li nodded.
“Zapdos’s feather, a feather left by a deity that can control lightning. Wherever It passes, the sky will thunder and lightning.”
Zapdos! An old acquaintance.
He’d farmed quite a few in games back then; the difference between shiny and non-shiny was just a bit more yellow.
The old Alakazam pointed to a crystal box with a golden scale and said, “Flame Emperor’s scale. Worth noting is that the Flame Emperor has no scales; this was condensed from his divine power. Since it was deliberately created, this divine item contains the most power.”
Lu Li nodded. As everyone knew, the Flame Emperor was the favorite of fur lovers, looking like a lion on the outside.
