Chapter 68: Crisis Arrives
The first coordination between the two Pokémon wasn’t very pleasant, at least Charmander thought so.
Glancing at the time and seeing it was almost 6 p.m., Lu Li said, “I’ll go make dinner first. Why don’t you take a shower?”
Yu Lili, her pretty face slightly flushed, nodded. Having sweated all over, she indeed needed to shower first.
Thinking of the scene just now when Lu Li had helped her treat her wound, Yu Lili’s heart pounded wildly.
“Is this what Mother meant by a racing heartbeat? This must be what it feels like to feel a spark, right?” Thinking this, Yu Lili panicked and recalled Squirtle, fleeing the underground training room like she was escaping.
After making dinner, the two enjoyed a pleasant dinner. With increased exercise, they naturally ate more.
Lu Li noticed Yu Lili had an even better appetite than him, and fortunately trainers had to exercise daily, or Yu Lili would definitely gain weight.
In fact, among trainers, especially in the elite trainer circle, there were almost no people with overly obese figures.
Of course, excluding Snorlax’s trainers, since some trainers had special constitutions, naturally broad-minded and fat-bodied, just like Snorlax.
After nightfall, Lu Li only felt that vague sensation growing stronger.
“Is it coming?” Lu Li looked at the starry sky overhead.
The starry sky in the Pokémon World was truly very beautiful, so beautiful it didn’t seem real.
Even after being in this world for a long time, Lu Li still marveled at this world’s stunning starry sky.
“Tropius, what do you think is beyond the world? Endless starry sky? Or countless Pokémon Worlds?” Lu Li asked softly.
“Trop~”
（I don’t know, but I’m willing to go see it with you.）
As a Pokémon, Tropius wasn’t good at pondering philosophy, but Tropius never thought about these things anyway, because wherever the trainer went, he was there.
…………
“Strange, this place actually has people living in it again, and this villa looks nicely decorated.”
“Jie jie jie…”
“I was originally thinking of finding an abandoned house to stay in, but I didn’t expect such a good thing.” Qiu Yide looked at the brightly lit villa and laughed.
Thanks to the Creator God’s gift!
After pretending to pray, Qiu Yide’s gaze turned cold.
“Drowzee, scout that villa. If the enemies aren’t strong, then this will be our foothold from now on.” Qiu Yide ordered in a chilling voice.
Drowzee nodded.
Moments later, Drowzee returned.
“Maw~”
（Just a young boy and girl. They’re trainers, but only normal level.）
“Tsk tsk tsk, looks like some rich kid came to the countryside for vacation, not even bringing bodyguards. Truly asking for it!” Qiu Yide grew even more excited.
He hadn’t expected to make a windfall out of this.
“Drowzee, take me to the villa entrance. That villa is our residence from now on. Battling inside would easily destroy the furniture.” Qiu Yide already considered the villa his own.
Drowzee nodded.
With one person and one Pokémon using Teleport, they arrived at the villa doorway.
Qiu Yide shouted from outside the door, “Hey! Is anyone inside? I’m a passing traveler. Can you come out for a moment?”
Yu Lili, who was playing a game in the living room, heard the noise and puzzledly put down her game controller.
“Lu Li, is there someone at the door?” Yu Lili asked Lu Li in the yard.
Lu Li said, “There is indeed someone, but they don’t seem like good people.”
Hearing this, Yu Lili became even more curious.
“How so?” Yu Lili asked curiously.
“This isn’t a travel route for Pokémon trainers, and most importantly, which proper trainer carries a Drowzee around?” Lu Li said.
Yu Lili advised seriously, “Lu Li, this is Pokémon discrimination. That’s not good.”
Lu Li: “…”
“I mean that Drowzee looks shady.” Lu Li explained.
“Let’s go check it out together. If they’re bad people, it’ll be a good chance to train our wild battle skills.” Yu Lili, eager to try, came out with Squirtle. She hoped the person at the door was a bad person.
Yu Lili was so confident not out of arrogance, but purely because of that Gym Leader-level Bronzong hiding in the shadows.
After all, with a big shot backing her up, there was no risk of things going wrong.
This was indeed a rare opportunity for Yu Lili.
Lu Li nodded too.
With the Bronzong big shot there, this was indeed a rare wild battle opportunity.
A real fight to the death with another trainer—this was his first time too.
“Suddenly feeling a bit hot-blooded and excited.” Lu Li whispered excitedly.
Yu Lili beside him had the same expression, even starting to pray that the person outside was a bad person.
“You stay back and stay alert. I’ll go probe.” Lu Li pulled Yu Lili behind him, then put on an innocent smile.
After reaching the villa’s main doorway, Lu Li pretended to be surprised as he looked at Qiu Yide at the door.
Lu Li tried to make his eyes even clearer, putting on an innocent, worldly-naive look, and said, “Uncle, are you a trainer traveling and training?”
Qiu Yide, feeling it was a sure thing, showed his extremely deceptive kind smile.
As a pyramid scheme master, Qiu Yide had studied expression management. To make his smile more sincere and kind, he had even specially researched this subject.
“Hello, child. I’m a traveling trainer. Can I stay here tonight?” After stating his background, Qiu Yide added, “I didn’t expect this village to be abandoned already, or I would have gone to the nearest Qingfeng City.”
“Really? I don’t believe it.” Lu Li looked at Qiu Yide suspiciously.
“Look, this is my Trainer Qualification Certificate.” Qiu Yide hurriedly pulled out his fake ID to prove his identity.
“Normal Level Trainer?” Lu Li feigned surprise as he glanced at the ID in Qiu Yide’s hand, then said with disdain, “Uncle, how are you only normal level at your age? With your talent, is there even a point in traveling? Why not just get a job instead.”
“What an annoying brat!” Listening to Lu Li’s taunts, Qiu Yide cursed viciously in his heart.
“Just wait, brat! When you fall into my hands, I’ll show you what real social beatdown means!” Qiu Yide’s opinion of Lu Li plummeted, but he tried to keep the smile on his face.
Qiu Yide explained kindly, “It’s precisely because my strength breakthroughs are too slow that I’m traveling.”
“Oh? Is that so? But this says you’re a Veteran Level Trainer.” Lu Li pulled up the photo on his phone, which was exactly Qiu Yide’s wanted photo.
Seeing the photo on the phone, Qiu Yide realized.
This bastard had been playing him all along! This damn brat had known he was an Alliance wanted criminal from the start.
“Kid! I’ll make you pay the price for messing with this old man, Drowzee…”
Before Qiu Yide could finish speaking, a fiery red radiance instantly lit up the night sky, and Flamethrower blasted straight at his face.
