Chapter 1277 Quartz Alliance
Quartz Plateau.
Located deep in the mountains, it symbolizes the highest glory of the Kanto region.
The stall was close to noon.
The three-headed dragon arrived here carrying cypress wood, but Shiba did not accompany it.
He will continue his physical and mental training in the valley, and he will watch the battle between Kashiwagi and Awatari via live stream on his mobile phone.
The giant Onix was very disappointed. Before it could even start a second battle, its "fiancée" had run away.
This forced Shiba to comfort it:
There will always be a chance.
Is it true?
Onix eagerly anticipated the arrival of Steelix, recalling its shimmering silver form, and planted a seed of evolution in its heart.
If it can be as tough as Steelix, it will surely hold its own in the next battle!
"Quartz League Village..."
The cypress tree is viewed from above.
I felt that many familiar buildings corresponded to fragmented images in my mind.
"Isn't it a bit too simple?" said the multi-faceted phone.
In its view, the Kanto region, as a historically significant and mainstream area, and with its champion Wataru enjoying such a prestigious reputation, should be more modern and technologically advanced.
How could the athletes' village be more like an ordinary small town?
Kashiwa replied, "That's enough. They've been thriving for decades, unlike us who are just starting out and have to do everything to the best of our ability."
The sheer number of gyms in the Kanto region, and the unprofessional behavior of their leaders, suggests that the Indigo League in Kanto has a rather amateurish feel to it.
But as he said, enough is enough.
There are no power struggles in the Pokémon anime world; everyone can coexist peacefully.
The real headaches are those stinking mud and lada from the Rockets' ditch.
However, the Rockets have been so rampant for so many years, and even the shutdown hasn't really affected them.
At worst, we can merge with the capital!
Anyway, both regions have the same champion, and their respective league headquarters are very close to each other.
The Quartz Plateau and the Silver Mountains are adjacent to each other.
At that time, Guandu will take the character "Guan" and Chengdu will take the character "Du", and a brand new large region will appear.
The three-headed dragon landed in a quiet forest, where a large number of tourists had already visited the athletes' village.
Without a doubt, they were all there to watch Kashiwagi and Watari's match.
Walking among the crowds and Pokémon, you can often see media reporters carrying large recording equipment.
"Quickly! Yishu and Lihua are here!"
"The Four Heavenly Kings of Johto? Have they come to support Wataru?"
Before Kashiwagi could find a place to stay, the sounds coming from the surroundings made him change his destination.
A tree? Pear blossoms?
Neither of these two Johto Four Heavenly Kings appeared in the anime, unlike in the manga special episodes.
First, he became a subordinate of Masked Man Guliu, and then he formed the Wandering Elite Four with Team Rocket executive A-Ju and villainous Elite Four member Shiba from the manga.
However, in another fan-made comic that Kashiwagi was reading, "The King's Ceremony," there was a moment where Rika shone.
This made him somewhat curious about pear blossoms.
Following the flow of people, they soon spotted their target using the cypress trees that concealed their presence.
【Queen of Evil】Rika; 【Superpowered One in Fine Attire】Ichiki.
The two characters' makeup and styling are not much different from those in the game; the former is dressed as a fashionable hot girl, while the latter is dressed in a formal dress and wearing a mask.
Thanks to their height, even though Kashiwagi had difficulty squeezing into the depths of the crowded area, he could still clearly see the two figures.
"Ms. Rinka! Mr. Ichiki! Are you here to support our partner, A-Wu?"
"Have the other two Heavenly Kings arrived yet?"
"Who do you two think will ultimately win?"
"If you were to fight Kashiwagi, would you be confident of winning?"
A series of questions were posed, and Yishu and Lihua, clearly used to such scenarios, answered them calmly.
Kashiwagi watched for a while but didn't see any of their Pokémon. He only heard some questions that didn't interest him, so he turned and left.
However, after he quietly left, someone beside him seemed to wake up from a dream.
"Huh? That person looked familiar?"
"Alas?"
The little Charmander sitting on his shoulder hugged its tail, not understanding what the trainer was saying.
Unfortunately, Kashiwagi left too quickly.
The man didn't have time to make a comparison, and the sudden screams from the surroundings drew his attention back to Yishu and Lihua.
It turns out that the two have started accepting photos and autographs from fans.
The bustling crowd and the noise attracted even more unsuspecting tourists, prompting them to join this rare celebration.
at the same time.
Kashiwagi has arrived at the Pokémon Center.
The Indigo League's athletes' village doesn't have a hotel, or rather, the Pokémon Center is the hotel, the designated accommodation for athletes and tourists, and even the champions and Elite Four stay here.
Therefore, it is much more bustling than a typical Pokémon Center.
The lobby was unusually empty, with only a few tourists and Pokémon present, while two Nurse Joys stood at the front desk.
He found one of them and handed him his Trainer ID card.
"Hello, please help me with the check-in process."
"Please wait~"
Miss Joy smiled and took it, but when she saw the name on it, she was suddenly stunned, and then looked up to check it.
She couldn't help rubbing her eyes.
Kashiwagi asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, thank you for your trouble. Welcome to the Indigo League! Champion Kashiwagi! I hope you have a great time here!"
Miss Joey smiled and skillfully registered him.
The champion's room is located on the top floor, and ordinary people cannot go up there without the corresponding room card.
This is partly due to privacy concerns, and partly out of respect for the champion's status; it is normal for higher status to receive higher treatment.
After Kashiwagi finished thanking him and turned to leave, Joey, who was standing next to him, asked her sister in a low voice.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Maybe it's true... I didn't even recognize Kashiwagi! Seriously~ Did I not get enough beauty sleep last night?"
Joey, who was in charge of processing the application, touched her cheek and couldn't help but complain.
To everyone's surprise, Joey, who had asked the question, was also taken aback by her words.
"Bai Mu? Who? Has he been here?"
"Hey? Wasn't that him just now? You didn't recognize him? He's so handsome! I remember you even said you were a fan of his!"
The two Joeys stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Damn it!
A celebrity like Kashiwagi, the designated idol of the Joy family, and the idol of countless Joys, they didn't even recognize him at first glance!
Joey, who was in charge of registration, couldn't help but check the computer records to confirm whether it was really a ghost.
"very strange……"
"Let's ask him next time he comes."
Joey, a die-hard fan of Kashiwagi, is eager to try her luck and has decided to work overtime for the next two days to increase the chances of encountering him.
Hearing this, Joey, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "You really like him, huh?"
"Are there a few people in our family who don't like it?"
She snorted.
It's not uncommon for someone to develop feelings for another person because of a Pokémon.
The inseparable connection between the Joy family and the Blissey population means that they naturally have a favorable impression of trainers who treat them kindly and raise them well.
Moreover, Kashiwagi has been shining in many fields with his Lucky Egg.
In the battle against Kalos Champion Karune, Blissey's highlight moment, the scene of defeating Gardevoir and carrying it out, brought tears to the eyes of countless Nurse Joys.
-
Top floor room.
Kashiwagi released some of his Pokémon and then lay down on the sofa to rest.
"It's really a worthwhile trip."
He reflected on everything that had happened these past few days.
Many childhood memories were witnessed firsthand, and some regrets were made up for.
The multi-faceted phone could hardly empathize with Kashiwagi's thoughts, after all, it knew nothing about the latter's past, but seeing the trainer so happy, it was naturally happy as well.
Rest until the afternoon.
After taking a shower, Bai Mu went downstairs for a stroll.
Autumn in the Kanto region was much colder than expected, and the changing climate was evident in the wind, which scattered fallen leaves all over the ground.
He greeted the two Miss Joeys at the front desk and, when asked about his previous situation, explained his breath-concealing technique with a smile.
"He has this ability too!"
"Yes, it really suits you!"
Two nearly identical faces made completely different expressions, leaving Kashiwagi stunned.
Joey's genes are really strong!
His expression was strange; he felt that this family, like Officer Jenny's family, was more like Pokémon than the newcomers.
After all, Miss Joey doesn't have the custom of interracial marriage; their husbands are mostly ordinary people.
The biggest difference between Joey and Joey is probably skin color.
Ok.
The Orange Islands have a unique charm with their tanned Joey!
Kashiwagi left the Pokémon Center, and there were noticeably fewer tourists outside than at noon.
"Let's go, let's go check out the stadium."
He decided to familiarize himself with the venue environment in advance.
But along the way, he sensed an aura unique to dragon Pokémon, and those that he could usually sense were not weak.
A-Du?
Cypress walked over with great interest, passing through the golden and fiery red maple trees, and saw the source of the aura.
Unfortunately, I guessed wrong.
There appeared a cute dragon named Hakkar, a Kingdra floating in mid-air, and a woman with blue hair and a high ponytail.
—The Gym Leader of Smoky City, Lance's cousin, and the Holy Dragon Messenger, Tsubaki!
The other party seemed unaware of him; only Hakron noticed the approach of another dragon trainer. "Huh?"
"what happened?"
Xiao Chun looked over upon hearing the sound and took in the cypress tree that had released its breath.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Kashiwagi!"
"Hello."
Kashiwa greeted him warmly.
This composed demeanor also calmed Xiaochun's expression. She grabbed one side of her cloak, bowed, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dragon Tamer Kashiwagi!"
"Is this considered a ritual of the dragon trainer race in the capital?"
Kashiwagi smiled and returned the greeting, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Tsubaki. Has Champion Watari arrived yet?"
Xiao Chun shook her head, "I can't get in touch with my cousin either."
The two were childhood sweethearts, but they rarely met after growing up.
A-Du is just too busy.
As the champion of sixteen major cities in two regions and a Pokémon investigator, he spends most of his time every day on missions and participating in various competitions.
Moreover, they also need to raise Pokémon and conduct various training sessions.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that dragon trainers have a few important holidays, Xiaochun might not see Du even a few times a year.
That's truly a pity.
Cypress wood slowly stepped forward.
Seeing that his conversation with Xiaochun was peaceful, Hakuryu and Kingdra also lowered their guard.
Dragon Pokémon do indeed have a certain affinity for their trainers, but that only applies to wild Dragon Pokémon without a trainer.
Xiaochun glanced behind Bai Mu, "Where's your Dragon King?"
"The Dragon King is resting, but I have more than just the Dragon King..."
He clapped softly.
clap~
Amidst the crisp applause, Dorombalut reluctantly emerged from the shadows.
It is undoubtedly the type that likes to run around, but due to its long period of seclusion, it is somewhat socially awkward and unwilling to easily appear in front of people and Pokémon.
Fortunately, its innate ability to become invisible satisfies its gloomy nature.
Perhaps it is precisely because it always hides that it is not used to appearing in front of people and being seen by them?
The personalities of Pokémon all have underlying causes.
Happy Egg is, Mawile is, and Draco Balto is no exception.
Xiaochun noticed the furtive-looking Dragapult and approached it with interest. "Is this the Dragapult that was fighting against Mega Gardevoir?"
"Spit..."
As she approached, Dorombalut retreated without hesitation.
One goes forward, the other goes backward.
So much so that Xiaochun couldn't get close to it even after walking for a long time, and said with a mix of laughter and tears, "What's wrong with your Pokémon? Did I scare it?"
The champion's Pokémon was scared of itself—what an obscure term!
Kashiwa said, "It's just not used to strangers getting close."
"timid?"
"No, it's simply that I hate being seen, being stared at."
"This is an illness..."
Tsubaki skillfully discussed with Kashiwagi the personality of raising a dragon Pokémon.
Her Dragonair and Kingdra, just like her, were open and fearless in the face of Kashiwagi's approach.
Even when touched, it only widened its eyes and did not show any aggressive behavior.
The two sides completed a house swap.
Unfortunately, Dorombalto wasn't very cooperative.
But it doesn't cooperate; other Pokémon do.
The little dragon brother, who was sleeping in the launch hole, was woken up and rushed over to Xiaochun as soon as he saw her.
However, on the way, it was bitten on the tail by the sister dragon who was also awakened.
"Hehe?"
"Hehe!"
Snapped!
A crisp tapping sound.
Duolong's younger brother covered his head in grievance, while Duolong's older sister was furious.
Xiao Chun laughed heartily, "Your dragons are all quite interesting. I'm really looking forward to your Dragon King."
"Its temper isn't very good."
Cypress shook his head.
Compared to Dragonair and Kingdra, which he can touch, Hydreigon could bite and break Tsubaki's outstretched hand if he didn't force it.
Why not bite it off?
Because that would contaminate the mouth, the trainer might stop letting it bite hands in the future.
Xiao Chun refused to believe it, saying, "There's no dragon in the world I can't get along with!"
"Ms. Kotsubaki is very confident..."
Kashiwa studied the jewel on Hakron's chin, which was said to be the source of its power.
Xiao Chun smugly hummed, "I've been holding a dragon's egg since I was born, and I've been in close contact with dragons every day ever since! Of course I'm confident!"
Most Dragon Trainers in Blacksmith City are only allowed to start raising Dragon Pokémon when they are five or six years old.
Otherwise, if they are too young, they may not be able to beat some other dragon-type Pokémon that are also young.
Dragon trainers also need to prove themselves through their skills!
The first lesson for dragon trainers in Smoky City—
Defeat the dragon before you!
Make it acknowledge you!
Dragon Pokémon are all creatures that revere power, and baby dragons are no exception.
