Chapter 93: Secret Realm Invitation
Feeling the wind sound getting closer behind him, the middle-aged man threw three Poké Balls from his arms.
“You guys, block him for me!” the middle-aged man shouted in fear.
In order not to delay his escape, the middle-aged man even directly discarded the Poké Balls, clearly prepared to abandon his Pokémon and escape alone.
Looking at the middle-aged man who unhesitatingly shed his tail to survive, Lu Li sneered disdainfully: “Birds of a feather really do flock together.”
These two guys being together must have a reason—greedy and cowardly, and also heartless and unrighteous.
To escape, he could even abandon his Pokémon; a person like this would amount to nothing in a lifetime. Even without running into him, such a person wouldn’t go far on the Trainer path.
“Three Veteran Level ones?”
Lu Li stopped, then released Milotic.
“These three Pokémon are yours.” After saying that, Lu Li prepared to ignore the three Pokémon and continue the pursuit.
To cover their Trainer’s escape, even knowing they had been abandoned, these three Pokémon still loyally carried out their Trainer’s orders.
But unfortunately, they were facing Milotic.
Disarming Voice first, the three Bug-type Pokémon were directly hard-controlled in place, while Lu Li ignored the three Pokémon and continued pursuing in the direction the middle-aged man fled.
As the saying goes, cut the grass and remove the roots, or it will grow again when the spring breeze blows; Lu Li never had the habit of leaving enemies behind.
Since he had already killed one, he might as well take out the other one too. If he knew these people’s family members, Lu Li would even consider sending their whole family on their way.
Although involving family members is very immoral, it’s still better than letting the enemy stage a comeback thirty years later as a king.
No need to go far; just look at the recent ones.
Wei and her two sisters are the best counterexamples—that’s the consequence of not cutting the grass and removing the roots. Lu Li could even foresee that Champion’s regret twenty years later.
Twenty years later, that Champion would surely regret why he let Wei and the others go back then.
No way around it; this world really doesn’t make sense. What if he runs into a cheating player like Wei? Years later, he and his family might all suffer terribly.
Ground runners definitely can’t outrun sky flyers. Even though Tropius’s flight speed is slow, catching up to a motorcycle is still more than enough.
Seeing the motorcycle getting closer, Lu Li excitedly commanded: “Tackle it!”
“No! Don’t!”
Feeling the wind of death getting closer, the middle-aged man shouted in terror, his voice even carrying a hint of sobbing.
“Boom!”
The middle-aged man and his motorcycle flew directly into the air. The middle-aged man who was knocked flying rolled on the ground a few times, spitting blood while struggling to get up.
The middle-aged man leaned against the roadside guardrail, cursing in a low tone: “Damn it! Never thought I’d still fall here.”
Lu Li jumped down from Tropius’s back.
“I’m very curious why you targeted me? Thought I was easy to bully?” Lu Li asked, looking at the middle-aged man who was breathing more out than in.
The middle-aged man explained with effort: “Because you’re too young, and you came to buy seeds. I thought you were a fruit Planter.”
Lu Li sneered: “Aren’t you afraid I might be a rich young master out traveling?”
Commoners traveling have no protection, but the noble sons of Conglomerate families have Guardians when traveling.
“Because there’s no energy fluctuation.” The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
This was also why he targeted Lu Li—they confirmed there was no Guardian around Lu Li, so they thought he was some upstart.
The difference between an upstart and a family is that the former is a walking gold nugget, while the latter is a hot potato.
Unfortunately, the one thing they overlooked was Lu Li’s own hard strength.
“How could a youth possibly be an Elite Level Trainer!”
“Arceus, you’re unfair… cough cough…” After spitting out two mouthfuls of blood clots, the middle-aged man closed his eyes.
Tropius’s Tackle absolutely had the power of a high-speed truck; the middle-aged man lasting this long was thanks to being a Trainer with much better physical fitness than an ordinary person.
Scanning the middle-aged man with Spiritual Sense and confirming he had indeed gone to see Groudon, Lu Li then released Charmander: “Charmander, come out and work. Clean up the scene.”
As a professional arsonist, Charmander, with once experience, was already an old hand.
First turning the dead middle-aged man into a torch, Charmander then controlled the flames to burn the motorcycle and the parts scattered from the crash.
There would definitely be wreckage left, but as long as it wasn’t human remains, it was fine. Even if someone found it, the police wouldn’t investigate deeply over some vehicle wreckage.
After doing all this, Lu Li rode Tropius back.
Milotic had already taken care of the three Bug-type Pokémon. Though no one was commanding, Milotic, who had been through several battles, had also learned the Three Axe Technique.
“Well done.”
Lu Li praised Milotic properly.
Earning 3 million in one trip out—after strength improved, money really came fast.
No wonder so many people in this world desire to become Trainers; being a Trainer is really too great.
Back at the homestay, Lu Li lay on the bed, curiously looking at the seeds in the bottle.
What could be confirmed was that the seeds in the bottle were not Berry Seeds, but seeds of some kind of flower.
In the Pokémon World, the flower with special ability seemed to be only one: Gracidea Flower.
Gracidea Flower is directly associated with Shaymin. If he could grow a sea of Gracidea Flowers, Shaymin might descend.
Gracidea Flower is like the summon Divine Beast item in the game, just requiring a lot more Gracidea Flowers.
As for the value of this thing, Lu Li was somewhat unsure how to judge.
Gracidea Flowers are actually quite hard to grow successfully. To grow Gracidea Flowers successfully, at least an Intermediate Planter is needed, but even an Intermediate Planter couldn’t grow a sea of Gracidea Flowers.
Even a Master Level Planter couldn’t do it. A single Gracidea Flower is easy to grow, but a flower sea is too energy-consuming; it’s completely beyond what humans can achieve.
“If only it really were Gracidea Flowers.” Lu Li murmured.
Shaymin’s strength is at the bottom among Divine Beasts, but Shaymin’s special ability is actually quite boosting for those Noble Families.
…………
After Tropius’s stamina had mostly recovered, Lu Li took the two sisters back to Golden Chicken Village.
Their main purpose in coming to Nandu City was to buy Pokémon, and Lu Li found that Nandu City wasn’t actually peaceful. Though prosperous on the surface, its nature was even worse than Qingfeng City.
At least he hadn’t encountered robbery in Qingfeng City, though that might be because he hadn’t touched Qingfeng City’s grey area.
Peaceful days pass quickly; two days flew by in the blink of an eye.
While busy at home preparing to welcome new life, a sudden phone call interrupted Lu Li’s arrangements.
“Xiao Li, I heard from Lili that you’re interested in Secret Realms. I’m just preparing to send Jin Huang to train in a Secret Realm—want to come along?”
Hearing the voice on the phone, Lu Li didn’t hesitate at all: “No problem, then I’ll trouble Uncle Yu.”
The good stuff in Secret Realms can’t compare to the wilderness. Since he could make a fortune in his own wilderness, Lu Li couldn’t imagine how great it would be after entering a Secret Realm.
Of course, the main reason was that this Secret Realm trip had guarantees.
