Chapter 231: Alliance: How About We Send This Menace Away?
As the largest black market in the Southern Region, the Deep Blue Black Market’s economic value is self-evident, and most importantly, the interests involved behind it.
Now with Ho-Oh as a talking point, the Deep Blue Black Market will only be more prosperous than before. If Qu Suxin obtains the favor of the King of Fairies through that secret realm, the Qu Family will become even more unstoppable.
Therefore, the Deep Blue Black Market must be separated from the Qu Family; there is no room for negotiation on this matter.
“Agreed!”
“Passed.”
This proposal was quickly voted on and passed by a show of hands.
“Next is the matter of the Rainbow Hero.”
The Alliance President once again stepped forward to chair the discussion.
The balding old man asked doubtfully, “Rainbow Hero? Have you confirmed it?”
The Alliance President nodded and said, “Previously there was only an 80% chance, but now it can be confirmed.”
“Here is the information on the Rainbow Hero,” the Alliance President distributed Lu Li’s data.
Long Yutian exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t this young man the champion of the College Entrance Examination? My granddaughter was just talking about him to me.”
“No wonder my brat could only bring back a runner-up. If it’s the Rainbow Hero, then it’s normal,” the short and stout old man nodded with great satisfaction.
After all, losing to an ordinary person is a different concept than losing to the Rainbow Hero.
The former is a disgrace, while the latter can even be considered an honor.
The Alliance President asked, “How should we approach the Rainbow Hero now, or should we find a way to transfer him to another region?”
There’s no other way; the Rainbow Hero is a walking source of plague, causing disaster wherever he goes. If such a person were to stay in the Jiuzhou Region, they might suffer greatly.
“No!” the balding old man resolutely objected.
Facing the gazes of everyone, the balding old man pointed at the document very seriously and criticized, “From the information, it’s clear that this generation’s Rainbow Hero dislikes adventure. If we drive him to another region, what if he settles down there?”
It must be known that the favor of a Divine Beast represents fortune!
Although this thing is vague and unpredictable, it is not without basis. Take the Jiuzhou Region, for example. The reason why the Jiuzhou Region is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery is largely because Divine Beasts frequently visit this region.
Another example is the America Region. This region has frequently been visited by Divine Beasts in recent times, so powerful Trainers have emerged like mushrooms after rain, and they are already subtly able to rival the Jiuzhou Alliance.
Gods have always been objects of contention for various regions; only those with a screw loose would make an enemy of them.
Another old man with tattoos on his face complained, “This is indeed trouble. The Rainbow Hero dislikes adventure; what kind of dark humor is this!”
Long Yutian looked around at everyone in the meeting room very seriously and added, “We cannot push the Rainbow Hero to another region just because of a little risk. Moreover, the danger is never brought by the Rainbow Hero, but rather by destiny guiding the Rainbow Hero to places where disasters are about to occur.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.
In a way, the Rainbow Hero is actually the same as a Pokémon called a disaster beast.
It’s not that disaster occurs wherever the Rainbow Hero goes, but rather that wherever disaster is about to occur, Ho-Oh’s destiny will guide the Rainbow Hero there.
The Alliance President nodded; he hadn’t expected the Rainbow Hero to have this layer of meaning in the end.
The Alliance President said, “Since we are not sending him away, then we can only win him over.”
“Agreed.”
“I concur.”
“Passed.”
The resolution regarding the handling of the Rainbow Hero was passed.
Alliance President: “Next is the matter of the True Brave. According to the information, we can almost confirm the identity of the True Brave.”
“The True Brave? Which region is he from?” the balding old man asked with concern.
“The America Region.”
Upon hearing this name, the expressions of everyone in the meeting room couldn’t help but sink.
As expected!
The long-haired old man complained, “I really don’t understand what the Real Dragon is thinking. What truth in that broken place of the North American Alliance is worth protecting?”
Everyone deeply sympathized with the long-haired old man’s complaint.
The True Brave symbolizes the hero who guards the beautiful and true present. Whether it is the North American Alliance or the South American Alliance, those two places can absolutely not be described as beautiful.
“Should we send someone to assassinate him?” a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the tattooed old man.
The Alliance President confessed, “People from the Progressive Association and the Divine Cult have actively contacted me. They have already begun making arrangements for the True Brave and asked if we want to intervene.”
Long Yutian stiffly refused, “To be honest, I don’t want to cooperate with those rats in the gutter.”
The Alliance President added, “According to what the Progressive Association revealed, some families and consortiums have already clearly expressed their willingness to cooperate with them to assassinate the True Brave.”
Long Yutian sneered, “Hmph! As expected, there are always rats everywhere.”
No one in the meeting room refuted this, after all, their Ideal Messenger had just passed their seventh day memorial service, and pretending to be blind wasn’t that easy.
The Alliance President awkwardly touched the bridge of his nose. Although Long Yutian wasn’t targeting him, he couldn’t help but put himself in that situation.
“Let’s also send someone over to make a gesture. The Lei Family, Leng Family, and Wang Family. Since these three families have been so active recently, let’s assign this mission to them,” the Alliance President suggested.
Long Yutian: “…”
As expected, you politicians have heartless tactics. Even now, you still want to kill with a single blow.
“Agreed!” Despite his complaints, Long Yutian actually agreed.
“Abstain.”
“Oppose.”
“Agreed.”
Finally, this agenda item passed by a very slim margin.
“Next…”
…………
Yu Lili, walking by the pond, sighed, “I feel like this place has changed so much.”
“It’s possible that your mindset has changed,” Lu Li replied with a smile.
The backyard of the villa had not changed much, but Yu Lili felt that it had changed because her mindset had shifted.
The last time Yu Lili was here, she was very lively, carefree, like a princess unaware of the world’s affairs.
But now…
Lu Li glanced deeply at Yu Lili.
Yu Lili suddenly invited, “Want to have a Pokémon battle? I want to show you my recent progress.”
Lu Li did not refuse.
“Follow me.”
Lu Li led Yu Lili to a wide-open wilderness.
Lu Li said, “There aren’t any good battlefields, so let’s use this place.”
Yu Lili, whose face finally showed a hint of radiance, nodded and then took out a Poké Ball and released her Squirtle.
The Squirtle had not yet evolved, but it was already in the Normal Late Stage.
Achieving this in just two months, Yu Lili’s talent was even greater than her father’s.
However, considering the Suicune Scale she had on her, Lu Li thought it was quite normal.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Li finally chose to release his Onix.
This wasn’t because he lacked confidence in Charmander, but because Charmander was still in a deep sleep and he couldn’t disturb Charmander’s enlightenment for a battle.
“Onix?”
Yu Lili looked nervously at the enormous Onix, but her heart quietly relaxed.
Onix is weak to water, so the advantage is mine.
The Squirtle confidently looked at the colossal creature before it.
Onix had not experienced any proper battles, so Lu Li didn’t have high expectations for it; as long as it didn’t lose too badly, that would be fine.
“Squirtle! Water Cannon!”
Yu Lili chose to strike first, not using any control skills.
Because it wasn’t necessary at all; being large meant being slow, and Squirtle’s attacks had almost no chance of missing.
In fact, this was precisely the case. The previously too-large Onix could not possibly dodge Squirtle’s attacks.
Lu Li commanded, “Onix, use Harden to endure it, then use Tackle.”
Onix’s most powerful move was actually Tackle. With its massive size and terrifying impact force, Onix’s Tackle was almost equivalent to a high-speed truck.
Onix endured the Water Cannon attack, which was super-effective with four times the damage, but due to its excellent vitality, Onix bore it without a sound.
Then, it silently counter-attacked.
“Withdraw into Shell!”
Yu Lili also responded quickly.
“Boom!”
Squirtle, which had intentionally jumped into the air, withdrew into its shell, and then Squirtle was sent flying heavily.
Spinning in the air, Squirtle spun faster and faster at a speed that defied physics.
“Rapid Spin?” Lu Li murmured in surprise.
“The real show is yet to come!” Yu Lili’s face showed a smile of successful scheming.
“Squirtle! Spinning Water Blade!”
A ring of water suddenly appeared around the rapidly spinning Squirtle. As its rotation speed increased, Squirtle transformed into a spinning bladed top and slashed heavily at Onix.
Lu Li, seeing the formidable power, shouted, “Iron Tail! Knock him away!”
A metallic sheen appeared on Onix’s tail, and it swung heavily towards Squirtle.
“Boom!”
Squirtle was once again sent flying, but Onix’s tail also gained a wound nearly ten centimeters deep.
Wei, who came to watch after hearing the commotion, curiously asked, “Sister Yao, is this a Secret Technique?”
“Spinning Blade is one of the unique Secret Techniques of the Shuibo Gym. It’s a special Secret Technique formed by combining Withdraw into Shell, Rapid Spin, and Water Tail.
This Secret Technique is very powerful, increasing defense while also possessing terrifying attack power. However, its disadvantage is also very obvious: it is too rigid.” Yao Yifei explained.
“Then can Lu Ge win?” Wei asked.
Yao Yifei shook her head and replied with certainty, “Onix cannot defeat Squirtle.”
Squirtle is Yu Lili’s starter Pokémon. While not perfectly honed, it can be considered well-tested.
In contrast, Onix is different. Since its birth, it has not undergone any proper Trainer battles. A wild Pokémon and a Pokémon with a Trainer are two different concepts.
Wei nodded, “Then what about Charmander?”
“Charmander…”
Yao Yifei’s eyes flickered, and she stated decisively, “Below Elite, Charmander is invincible.”
