Chapter 85: Girl Holding A Divine Beast!
Ai Ke on the ground watched the Tropius flying overhead, frowning and whispering: “Why is Wei He so reckless today? Going to someone’s home on the first meeting, not afraid that person might have bad intentions.”
The younger brother next to Ai Ke sneered mockingly: “What’s so strange about that? Seeing that person’s strength is strong, the sisters want to latch onto a big leg too.”
“Wei He isn’t that kind of person.” Ai Ke shook his head.
Wei He was someone he met half a year ago, suspected to have smuggled over from another alliance, and for some reason ended up in trouble in Qingfeng City.
Moreover, because the sisters were black householders, they had been wandering in Qingfeng City, and the reason they knew each other was due to a conflict between Wei He and their Wildfire Gang over territory.
It wasn’t about collecting protection fees anywhere, but fighting over the garbage piles in the Berry Market. For these poor children, the Berry Market’s garbage was the best resource respawn point.
…………
On the back of the Tropius, Bao Bao asked curiously: “Big brother, are you a Psychic too?”
Hearing this, the one with the biggest reaction was actually Wei He behind Lu Li.
“Psychic? Could it be…” Wei He looked at Lu Li in disbelief.
“How did you know?” Lu Li amusingly tapped Bao Bao’s nose tip.
Bao Bao said seriously: “I sensed your spiritual power.”
Lu Li had no intention of hiding it from the little girl and directly admitted: “I’m a special kind of Psychic, I suppose.”
“Cool! I knew we were the same kind.” Bao Bao was very happy to hear this.
She had never seen other Psychics, at least not in the real world, so she was very excited to meet Lu Li, a fellow kind, and even proactively got close.
Having shown his sincerity this far, Lu Li also took the initiative to ask: “You two shouldn’t be from the Jiuzhou Region, right?”
“Yes! We’re from South America.” Bao Bao explained with a grin.
South American Alliance?
Lu Li thought thoughtfully.
In this world, the South American Alliance and North American Alliance were total opposites, just like Zaun and Piltover in the anime Arcane.
The most outrageous thing about the South American Alliance was the various mafia families; exaggeratedly, the entire South American Alliance was a large alliance formed by a bunch of gangs combined.
Such an oddball place, Lu Li had seen many reports about it online before.
For example, a certain mayor of the South American Alliance was assassinated by a Trainer right after taking office, and alliance Investigators weren’t even willing to carry out any missions in the South American Alliance.
Lu Li said in an affirmative tone: “So you two came here as refugees, right?”
Wei He asked stiffly: “How did you know?”
“Your clothing, attire, and living condition told me.” Lu Li explained.
Wei He admitted: “That’s right, we did come to the Jiuzhou Region to take refuge, but we’re not good people. I advise you not to have any ideas about us.”
“Don’t worry, I mean you no harm. After all, Bao Bao is already calling me big brother.” Lu Li smiled and comforted the tough girl behind him.
Don’t think Wei He’s tomboy appearance is bad; in the South American Alliance, only a tomboy like Wei He could live better.
The reason Lu Li had revealed his strength earlier was precisely to recruit these two sisters.
Family fallen on hard times, fleeing to the Jiuzhou Region, plus being strangers with no connections and black householders.
Arceus above!
Was there a more perfect subordinate in the world?
Upon coming to this world, one had to follow local customs; every famous Trainer would establish a family or company centered on themselves after rising to power.
Bao Bao was a Psychic; with a little nurturing, she would be a Heavenly King.
Darkly speaking, this was raising her from young, though she was already an older loli.
Wei He was the same; being able to nurture her Pokémon to Normal Late Stage while fleeing with her sister, Wei He’s talent was undoubtedly top-notch.
Originally, Lu Li wanted to subdue Lian Sheyi, but that unlucky kid was too aloof and never gave him a chance.
Looking at the scenery below, Wei He frowned and asked: “Why is it getting more and more remote?”
Lu Li explained: “Because my residence is in the countryside, even close to the Qingyun Mountain Range.”
“Close to the Qingyun Mountain Range?” Wei He’s frown deepened.
Feeling things weren’t simple, Wei He asked: “This is too dangerous and too adventurous. Did your parents leave you any powerful Pokémon?”
Lu Li didn’t hide it and directly said: “No, my strongest Pokémon is Milotic.”
“You don’t need to worry about safety; the outer Pokémon in the Qingyun Mountain Range are generally only Normal Level, and it used to be a village there. Though abandoned now, there aren’t any Pokémon around.” Lu Li explained.
Just as Lu Li finished speaking, seven well-trained Bidoof flew over from the distance.
Elite Early Stage!!
Seeing this, Wei He’s facial expression changed drastically, then she shrieked: “This is what you call safe?”
Lu Li: “…”
“Cough cough!”
“Don’t worry, those are my employees.” Lu Li hurriedly comforted.
The Bidoof Leader was giving no face to him as boss; couldn’t you show up later?
“Bi~”
Upon seeing Lu Li, the Bidoof Leader let out a sharp growl, even carrying a hint of provocation in its voice.
Lu Li: “…”
“These are your employees?” Wei He mocked.
The provocative meaning in the Bidoof Leader’s voice was something even she, an outsider, could hear.
Lu Li calmly comforted: “This is normal interaction between employee and boss. Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Lu Li said with a dark face, guaranteeing: “Tropius, tell that unlucky kid to come find me when I get back later.”
Tropius immediately let out a huge cry upon hearing this.
Bao Bao on the dragon’s back hurriedly covered her ears with both hands.
“Bi~”
After responding, the Bidoof Leader led the team to lower its flight altitude and began patrolling the surrounding territory.
With greater strength, the Bidoof Leader’s territory naturally expanded more.
After landing safely, Bao Bao looked at the villa in front of her and exclaimed in surprise: “Cool~ This is like a paradise.”
Looking at the luxurious villa before her, Wei He asked in surprise: “Such a big villa, do you live here alone?”
Lu Li explained: “Plus my three Pokémon.”
After saying that, Lu Li released Milotic and Charmander.
“These are my companions. You’ve met Milotic and Tropius; this is Charmander.” Lu Li pointed at Charmander and said.
Charmander curiously sized up these two girls, then quickly reached a conclusion.
Two weaklings, not worth knowing.
Wei He said somewhat enviously: “Charmander! That’s a Starter Pokémon.”
“That’s right. By the way, aren’t you going to release your companion?” Lu Li asked.
“I guess you’re a Fighting Type Trainer.” Lu Li said with a smile.
Hearing this, the corners of Wei He’s mouth curved up slightly.
“You guessed right.” After saying that, Wei He took out a custom Luxury Ball.
After a flash of white light, a beige Pokémon appeared in the open space.
“My Kubfu!!!” Lu Li looked at the Pokémon in front of him with a face full of shock.
Worried he was hallucinating, Lu Li even stubbornly rubbed his eyes, afraid he had seen wrong.
Bao Bao looked at Lu Li and asked curiously: “Do you know Little Bear?”
After managing his expression, though his head was still a bit dazed, Lu Li asked: “You don’t know it?”
Wei He shook her head and said: “No, this is the Pokémon that hatched from the Pokémon Egg my dad got by accident.”
Lu Li didn’t answer directly but narrowed his eyes and asked: “How many people have seen this Pokémon?”
Though not knowing why Lu Li asked this, Wei He still answered: “Just Ai Ke and them.”
Lu Li gave Kubfu a complex look, then said: “I know this Pokémon. Put Kubfu away first.”
Wei He nodded, then recalled Kubfu.
Lu Li felt he had to overturn all his previous guesses and conclusions.
Wei He’s talent as a Trainer didn’t seem as high as he had imagined.
As Kubfu’s Trainer, only reaching Normal Late Stage in a year was really holding back Kubfu.
“When did you start fleeing?” Lu Li asked.
“A year ago. Kubfu hatched after I came to the Jiuzhou Region.” Wei He said.
That explained it.
Lu Li suddenly realized, then teased: “Did Kubfu go hungry for three days and eat once every nine meals with you?”
Wei He’s face darkened, and she retorted through gritted teeth: “It ate its fill! Your Jiuzhou Region has many places to get free food.”
Lu Li: “So Kubfu has been eating human food?”
Wei He nodded with a dark face.
Outrageous; this was probably the most miserable Divine Beast Cub.
Lu Li suddenly felt a bit sorry for Kubfu.
Of course, what Lu Li was most curious about was Kubfu’s origins.
In this world, the alliance deliberately sealed off all information about Divine Beasts. Ordinary Trainers generally only knew the names of the more famous Divine Beasts and not even their attributes.
Kubfu was a relatively obscure Divine Beast; few people should know it was a Fighting Bear cub.
At least no one in Qingfeng City should know about Kubfu.
Thinking of this, Lu Li also felt the sisters’ luck was outrageously good.
Wandering around with a Divine Beast Cub for over a year and still safe and sound—this luck was unmatched.
Of course, the most outrageous was Wei He.
Lu Li had always thought her sister was the most valuable of the two, but unexpectedly, it was the older sister who was the heavy hitter.
Forming an unbreakable bond with a Divine Beast Cub—this alone was enough to make all Trainers in the world envious to death.
Yes! All Trainers.
If nothing unexpected happened, even if Wei He were a pig, Kubfu could carry her to Master Level.
What was Master Level?
Exaggeratedly, if a Master-level Trainer suddenly wanted to play pure and announced that alliance law could only be monogamous.
Then the alliance would enact that law the next day, and even other alliances would give face and amend their own laws.
Lu Li suddenly realized his own cheat was nothing special.
He originally thought Yu Lili’s pay-to-win and luck cheat was already heavy-duty, but cheats have their own masters; this one was even a heavyweight among cheats.
For a moment, Lu Li even had the thought of killing and stealing the Pokémon.
If not for the fact that Wei He and Kubfu’s bond was already very solid, he really would have done it.
Fighting Bear!
That was a Tier 2 God, even a legendary Tier 1 God!
It was also one of the few Deities with a tribe.
