Chapter 255: Rainbow Hero Exposed, All Sides Stir With Malice
After returning to his room, Lu Li took out two Pokémon Eggs and fell into deep thought.
First is the Garchomp Pokémon Egg, as the offspring of a pseudo-legendary, Garchomp’s excellence goes without saying, as for that long growth stage?
Lu Li actually wasn’t too worried, with pills such an outrageous thing around, the slow growth speed of pseudo-legendaries was completely not an issue.
Hatenna was comparatively special.
For some unknown reason, Hatenna’s Pokémon Egg had become larger than before, and besides that, it was the fortune on its body.
In terms of qualification, Hatenna’s qualification was now already champion level, this talent was the same as Garchomp’s, and one must know that Hatenna had three stages of evolution.
So if hatching them at the same time, Lu Li was a bit worried about the bond issue.
To be honest, in this world, the bond between Pokémon and trainer was absolutely mutually achieving, but in his case it was different.
The bond had instead become shackles for him, shackles restricting his unrestrained nurturing of Pokémon.
After searching for a moment, Lu Li decided to hatch Hatenna first.
Although he already had two Psychic Type Pokémon, and adding Hatenna would make three, but the resources needed for Garchomp were far more than for Hatenna.
Although there were considerable gains every time he went on adventures, strictly speaking, his current income actually didn’t allow him to nurture a Pokémon like Garchomp.
…………
An old man who exuded authority without anger said to his granddaughter: “Ying’er, the Rainbow Hero is entrusted to you, the economic pressure of nurturing multiple pseudo-legendaries is not something the current Rainbow Hero can bear, and looking across the entire world, our Dragon Family is undoubtedly first in nurturing Dragon Type Pokémon, this is a good opportunity for you to get close to him.”
The old man’s name was Dragon Throne, one of the seven great elders of the Jiuzhou Alliance, and also the current Family Head of the Dragon Family and the guardian of Dragon Island.
Although Long Ying was very impatient in her heart, she still obediently nodded on the surface.
Dragons were proud, now Grandfather wanted her to lower her stance to contact Lu Li, she was indeed a bit unhappy about it.
This unhappiness was not only targeted at Lu Li, but also included the family.
Born into a noble family, Long Ying had actually long known her own future.
For a young lady of noble family like her, there was actually no freedom of choice in terms of mate selection, having enjoyed the family’s resources and help, she naturally also had to have the awareness to sacrifice for the family.
Long Ying also knew she actually had no choice, her talent was passable, but far inferior to her older brother.
Moreover, the Rainbow Hero.
According to the family’s intention, it was either he joins the family, or she marries out.
Long Ying knew the family definitely leaned towards the former, because Aura Power like Dragon Tamer Power could be hereditary.
The Imperial Dragon Family was actually also coveting the Rainbow Hero’s Aura Power, because the Rainbow Hero’s Aura Power was different from normal Aura Power.
“Mm, I’ll find a way to get close to him.” Long Ying pretended to nod confidently.
Fearing his own granddaughter was too proud and would cause the plan to fail, Dragon Throne hurriedly lectured: “Don’t be too careless either, the Rainbow Hero is quite close to the Qu Family, and your rivals are quite numerous too, they are all noble young ladies similar to you, but you have an advantage that no one else has.”
“What advantage?” Long Ying curiously looked at her grandfather.
Dragon Throne smiled and said: “Your trainer talent.”
Although Long Ying’s talent couldn’t compare to her brother’s, that depended on who it was compared to, even looking across the whole world, Long Ying’s skill was quite good, just not at the monster level.
Such scenes were almost happening in every powerful noble family internally.
…………
Jiuzhou Region, in the secret realm of the ancient capital Zhougu, Ji Family ancestral hall.
Ji Family’s current Family Head Ji Muwang’s face was full of sadness as he looked at the clansmen below and said: “The Rainbow Hero has appeared again, but he is a commoner, it seems Ho-Oh really no longer favors our Ji Family.”
“If it’s a commoner, perhaps we can have the Rainbow Hero join our Ji Family.” The Great Elder confidently suggested.
The reason he was so confident also had its cause.
The surname Ji explained everything!
The family founded by the most special Rainbow Hero in history was also one of the oldest families in the whole world.
If their Ji Family were willing to appear in the present world, then the Fire Family, one of the Eighteen Great Attribute Families, would have to step down.
The mild-mannered-looking Second Elder also followed: “If I remember correctly, that mongrel’s daughter seems to be the Rainbow Hero’s guardian, send someone to tell that woman, as long as he can persuade the Rainbow Hero to join the family, then we’ll let her and her daughter return to our Ji Family.”
Hearing this, everyone present frowned.
“I oppose!”
The most hot-tempered Fourth Elder stood up abruptly and angrily retorted: “If we really let that mongrel’s descendant return to the family, wouldn’t our Ji Family’s noble bloodline be defiled again?”
“This matter can’t be blamed on An’an, after all, that crazy experiment was started by the old Family Head, An’an was also a victim.” The old woman sitting in the main seat frowned and said.
Sixty years ago, Ji Family’s contemporary Family Head Ji Mufeng, in order to make the Ji Family regain Ho-Oh’s favor, went mad and started a taboo experiment.
That was an experiment concerning the fusion of human and Pokémon genes.
The ultimate purpose of that experiment was to combine humans with Eevee Pokémon, thereby making Ho-Oh favor the Ji Family again.
Since starting the experiment, the Ji Family’s clan population had sharply decreased by one-third, and although the experiment ultimately succeeded, Ho-Oh did not descend.
Ji Mufeng required those who succeeded in the experiment to go search for Ho-Oh, but the final result was that five went out, and only one survived.
And that person’s survival was not because she found Ho-Oh, but because after going to the real world, she fell in love in the real world and directly got married.
The transformation failed, and she had caused so many clansmen to die, Ji Mufeng ultimately died of guilt and remorse.
One must know that as a master-level trainer, Ji Mufeng originally could have lived nearly two hundred years.
The Ji Family hated that inhumane experiment immensely, but this kind of thing definitely couldn’t blame the powerful Ji Mufeng, so all these negative emotions were poured onto An Feng, the woman who betrayed the family.
They said An Feng was a mongrel of human and Pokémon, defiling the Ji Family’s sacred and noble bloodline, and some said she was the Ji Family’s betrayer.
Anyway, in the end An Feng was expelled from the Ji Family, forbidden from returning to the secret realm of the ancient capital Zhougu for life.
“If she can bring back the Rainbow Hero, that would also fulfill my mother’s wish and original intention, I support Old Two.” She continued.
Ji Muwang directly announced: “This matter is handed to Old Two to handle, you go notify An Feng, this is the Ji Family’s last chance for him.”
For such a result, although some were unwilling in their hearts, no one voiced opposition.
If the Rainbow Hero could return to the Ji Family again, the family could be brilliant for another tens of thousands of years, this was not unacceptable.
…………
Lu Li didn’t know that just going to school had touched the nerves of many major powers.
After setting the incubator to hatching mode, Lu Li carefully placed the Hatenna Pokémon Egg into the incubator.
Three days later, he could harvest a special Hatenna.
After doing all this, Lu Li finally began today’s work.
First was upgrading various pills, with better pills, the old ones naturally had to be eliminated.
After developing the third-generation attribute pills, the first-generation attribute pills could be used to nurture loyal subordinates.
Only when night fell did Lu Li stop alchemy.
This wasn’t because he was too tired, but because Qu Suxin had called.
“Little Pudding, come to your living room.” Qu Suxin’s voice came from the phone.
“Got it!”
Lu Li hurriedly stopped what he was doing and headed straight to the living room.
After sending away Bao Bao and the others, Lu Li called back.
A sound of Po Kong rang out.
Three figures instantly appeared in the living room.
Besides Qu Suxin and Gardevoir, there was also a glasses girl.
“Sister Qu, what matter requires you to come personally?” Lu Li asked while pouring tea.
Qu Suxin elegantly sat on the sofa, Gardevoir also picked up the tea on the coffee table, only that unfamiliar glasses girl was standing meticulously behind Qu Suxin.
Lu Li didn’t speak to remind her, after all, she had positioned herself voluntarily, if he reminded her, it would be lacking insight.
After lightly sipping the tea, Qu Suxin finally spoke: “Some matters are quite urgent, plus I might have to leave for a very long time, so I came personally.”
Hearing this, Lu Li only thought Qu Suxin might be going into seclusion for a period to impact the legendary Divine Realm, so he didn’t take it to heart.
“Here, for you.” Qu Suxin took out a Poké Ball.
“This is?”
Lu Li, who already had a guess in his heart, looked at the Poké Ball handed over with a face full of surprise.
“This is the Porygon you wanted.” Qu Suxin explained.
Lu Li impatiently released the Porygon from the Poké Ball.
“It’s actually Heavenly King qualification?” Lu Li exclaimed.
Qu Suxin smiled: “This is the highest qualified Porygon in our Qu Family, hope you like it.”
“I like it too much.” Lu Li happily put away the Porygon.
Now was not the time to nurture emotions, after all, there would be plenty of time in the future.
“Besides this, I’m planning to introduce her to you.” Qu Suxin pointed at the glasses girl and said.
The glasses girl beside her hurriedly introduced herself upon hearing: “Hello, Young Master Lu Li, I am Qu Tongtong.”
“In the future, for anything you need, you can contact me directly, such as that batch of supplies you need to procure, which will be handled by me.” Qu Tongtong added.
Lu Li nodded.
“Tongtong is my secretary, and also can be considered my chief butler, in the future for anything you need, you can find her directly.” Qu Suxin supplemented from the side.
“Then I’ll be troubling you from now on, Miss Tongtong.” Lu Li said politely.
Qu Suxin said: “Besides this, I’m here to tell you… I might have to leave the Jiuzhou Region for a while.”
“Leave the Jiuzhou Region? Why?” Lu Li looked at Qu Suxin puzzled.
Normally, shouldn’t Qu Suxin break through to the Divine Realm in her family’s secret realm? Could the Qu Family not have a super large secret realm? But that still wouldn’t require leaving the Jiuzhou Region.
The Jiuzhou Region originally had many super large secret realms, and there were quite a few super large secret realms under Alliance control, no matter what, Qu Suxin wouldn’t forgo the near for the far to break through in other regions.
“Alliance mission, I have to go to the African Alliance side, and it’s a long-term mission.” Qu Suxin explained with a bitter smile.
With such a thing, Lu Li of course unhesitatingly stood on Qu Suxin’s side, so Lu Li indignantly complained: “Even so, it doesn’t have to be so urgent, right? Can’t it wait until after your breakthrough?”
“The Alliance side just wants to delay me, to buy time for Long Du.” Qu Suxin sneered.
Qu Suxin, who quickly adjusted her mindset, confidently chuckled: “But it doesn’t matter, at most three years, I can afford to drag it out.”
Even after another three years, Qu Suxin’s age wouldn’t exceed 40.
A master-level trainer under 40, that was scary enough.
I know Long Du is 38 this year, two years short of 40, the main thing is whether Long Du can breakthrough within two years is a question.
“Right, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.” Qu Suxin also remembered the purpose of this trip.
The serious-faced Qu Suxin cautioned: “Don’t know how, but the Alliance’s those nobles all think you’re the Rainbow Hero.”
Lu Li: “???”
Actually, when she first heard this news, Qu Suxin was also confused.
Lu Li is the Rainbow Hero? Then what is Li Zhi?
Even more outrageous was that those nobles spoke convincingly, analyzing with reason and evidence.
If she hadn’t long known the truth, she might really have believed it.
Rainbow Hero has strong physical fitness, Lu Li’s physical fitness is also strong to a completely abnormal degree, Rainbow Hero has the ability to communicate with all things, Lu Li has indeed shown such ability, and then there was that series of coincidences.
If not for Gardevoir having seen Li Zhi with her own eyes, she really would have thought Lu Li was the legendary Rainbow Hero.
No way around it, everything was too coincidental.
Without actual evidence, even with actual evidence right in front of them, that bunch from the Alliance would think the evidence is fake, and firmly believe Lu Li is the real Rainbow Hero.
“Me, Rainbow Hero?” Lu Li was also dumbfounded.
Rainbow Hero was also known as Ho-Oh’s toy, Lu Li truly had no ideas about this identity.
In this world where even destiny has special fate patterns, Lu Li really feared his fate pattern was as silly as Xiao Zhi’s in the anime.
After all, the label of “silly thing” had always stuck to that Rainbow Hero without coming off.
While feeling it was outrageous in his heart, what Lu Li cared most about was still his own safety.
“Then what to do? Will I be in danger.” Lu Li asked worriedly.
Qu Suxin comforted: “Don’t worry about this, the Rainbow Hero identity is far safer than Ideal Messenger, any normal person wouldn’t possibly assassinate the Rainbow Hero.”
For such rhetoric, Lu Li held a half-believing half-doubting attitude, one must know during the Grand Festival, there was a little genius who had made a move against the Rainbow Hero, and even brought out that Lord of Shadows.
Lu Li never underestimated the number of idiots in this world.
“If Rainbow Hero and Ideal Messenger must choose one to expose, I still suggest you use the former.” Qu Suxin reminded.
