You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 123 Humans in the Pokémon world are indeed all outrageous. (55)

Izumo City, Jodo Region.

A Dragonite with a憨厚 (honest and simple) face appeared in the sky above the city.

Its tiny wings not only support its round and sturdy body on their own, but also allow it to fly at supersonic speeds while carrying a person.

If Qingyu were to witness this scene, he would probably utter a heartfelt sigh—

"As expected of humans from the Pokémon world, their physical strength is harder than steel..."

Upon arrival, the Dragonite descended rapidly, making several roaring sounds in the air, before weaving and maneuvering through the mountains and finally coming to a steady stop in front of a modern building.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dragonite."

Adu patted its shoulder, then flipped over and jumped off its back. Only then did it notice a woman with light blue hair and wearing a matching blue bodysuit standing not far in front of it.

"Long time no see, Tsubaki."

A-Du greeted them with a serious expression.

"Cousin."

Xiaochun nodded, responded with a sentence, and her expression remained solemn.

Dragon riders are mostly arrogant people, so when two dragon riders meet, besides fighting, there's nothing else left—

silence.

Until Tsubaki spoke again, looking at Watari with a serious expression:

"You'll probably be participating in the Dragon-type Master Tournament in Padia this year, right?"

"Ah."

Adu nodded slightly, as if he had guessed that she would ask this question.

"Many of the participants in this Dragon Attribute Master Tournament are seasoned and powerful Dragon Masters. It would be good for you to go and fight against them and gain some experience."

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun immediately frowned.

"I will prove to you that I have the strength to be called the Messenger of the Dragon!"

"So watch out, if you happen to run into me before the finals, you'd better get your team wiped out by my King of Thorns!"

"Humph--"

Maintaining his aloof demeanor, A-Du sighed only after watching Xiao-Chun leave in a huff.

I think I said something wrong again.

He clearly wanted to encourage his cousin, to ease her pressure, and to encourage her to learn from those highly accomplished seniors...

Why did you seem to look down on her after you exported the product?
"Indeed, it's better to talk less in the future."

That's right. It's precisely because most Dragon Riders are actually a group of people who are not good at speaking that they often give other trainers the wrong impression that "these guys are too pretentious and look down on people!"

And because they are not good at speaking, they also lack the ability to explain.

Over time, this preconceived notion has gradually taken root in people's minds.

A-Du scratched his head and quickly followed Xiao-Chun into the Yanmo Dojo.

After passing through a hidden passage inside the Yanmo Dojo, the surroundings suddenly opened up, leading to a cave that appeared to be inhabited.

This is the homeland of the Dragon Messenger clan, also known as the "Dragon's Lair".

Because he simultaneously holds the positions of King of the Quartz League and Interpol Police, A-Du rarely has time to return here.

Besides having free time to participate in the Masters Tournament, he also had another very important purpose for returning this time.

In return, they presented a gift to the Padiya patron known as "Azure Feather".

Although they had never officially met, both he and Xiaochun had received considerable care from him.

During an online match against this young man, A-Du learned a lot from him.

Since the rookie police officers in Kanto were given free rein to operate, not only have their strength increased rapidly, but the security situation in nearby cities has also improved considerably.

As for Xiaochun.

Her confidence in the Masters tournament stems from the new tactics she learned about the Thorn Dragon King from "Azure Feather".

In a dragon-attribute mirror match, the suppressive power of a barrage of dragon star bursts is extremely terrifying. That's why she seemed a bit overconfident.

Thinking of this, A-Du shook his head helplessly.

The Dragon Messenger clan never owes anyone a favor.

So I'll repay Xiaochun's share as well.

For trainers, the best gift would be a Pokémon with enough potential, right?
I recently exchanged a batch of dragon eggs with Hoenn, and they should be hatching soon.

A-Du quickly arrived near the Dragon Shrine in the center of the cave, glanced at the Pokémon eggs placed there, and quickly selected the one he thought was the best.

This child has very strong life energy and a strong competitive spirit even before hatching, so his future strength should be considerable.

As a Viridian Power Holder, favored by Viridian Forest and appearing only once every ten years, Lance is extremely sensitive to the emotions and life energy of Pokémon.

His choice will never be wrong.

……

Nothing happened for the next few days.

Time quickly came to Friday, December 5th.

Few people come to challenge the gym on normal working days, so Qingyu has been quite free these past few days and can only watch Pokémon movies with his little Eevee.

The Masters tournament starts the Monday after next, so there are 10 days to prepare.

The time when Zhulan arrived in Padiya was the 10th.

Five more days...

Thinking back to the last time I met Sister Cabbage, it seems like it was just a while ago.

While Qingyu was daydreaming, Yibu noticed his listless eyes.

"Buyi..."

Hopeless.

Ibu shook his head, speechless at his somewhat embarrassing trainer.

If I were a trainer, I would have done it long ago—

Forget it, that Garchomp is too fierce. Even if I and Riolu combined, we probably couldn't beat it...

Let the trainers worry about it themselves!

Ibu flicked its tail and continued watching the video on the screen with great interest.

Just as Qingyu's thoughts were racing, there was a sudden knock on the dojo door.

At the same time, a childish voice came from outside.

"Is anyone here?"

Another challenger?

Although Qingyu was a little puzzled, she quickly went over.

When the door opened, he didn't notice anyone at first. It wasn't until he looked down that he spotted the little challenger.

"Hello?"

While Qingyu was somewhat puzzled, she quickly recognized the little girl's identity.

Poppy, a 9-year-old trainer who excels at training Steel-type Pokémon and is one of the future Elite Four of the Paradis region!
In the current timeline, she's only about 7 years old, so could she have already become a trainer?
Can you humans in the Pokémon world please stop being so outrageous!
"Hello, big brother, this should be the Sunshine Gym, right?"

Bopi raised her head and looked at Qingyu.

"Yes, you're here... to challenge the gym?"

"Yeah! I heard that the gym leader of Sunny Dojo is a really strong trainer, so I'm going to try and challenge him!"

Bopi smiled, looking full of energy.

5th update!
The Pokémon world is indeed a bit outrageous. Looking at Pidgey's height, I don't know how to change its age, so I'll just leave it as is.

Fun fact: Pipi, at 9 years old, is less than half the height of most students, while 10-year-old Ash is already close to an adult's size...

So, humans in the Pokémon world really do evolve at age 10!
