Chapter 191 Why are all the people in Beishang Township familiar faces?
Half an hour ago.

Having arrived in Beishang Township by private plane, Cattleya walks along the streets of Emerald Town.

After browsing around, she found herself with several shopping bags in her hands, but she didn't see the person she expected.

"Shi Lan, please take these things back to the villa for me."

After sighing, Cattleya tossed all the things she had just bought to the butler behind her.

"Okay, miss."

After Shi Lan skillfully took it, her arms and ten fingers were already full of weight.

However, as a perfectly dashing butler, he still maintained his brisk pace and arrived in front of Cattleya in just a few steps.

"But Miss, which villa should I deliver it to?"

"Whatever, just pick the closest one."

Cattleya waved her hand impatiently, clearly thinking that he could decide such a small matter himself.

Although the villas in Beishang Township are a bit expensive, for her who spends money like water, they are just a string of numbers.

If she weren't worried that Shi Lan wouldn't agree, she would have simply bought the entire resort.

"I understand."

Only after Shi Lan left quickly did Cattleya breathe a sigh of relief.

"They haven't arrived yet?"

I thought I was going to have a chance encounter, but it seems I arrived a little too early.

But it doesn't matter. We can take this time to learn about the unique features of Beishang Township in advance, so that we can explain the local customs and culture to Zhulan later.

Her gaze swept through the nearby shops, and after browsing around once more, Gadriya suddenly realized—

Beishang Township is great in every way, except that the local food seems to consist only of sticky rice cakes and various tree fruits.

Sticky rice cake is alright as a snack, but it feels too greasy as a main meal...

So after wandering around for a while, Cattleya decided to go into a restaurant she had seen in Padiya before.

I tried this place last time with Zhu Lan and some other annoying guy, and the food was pretty good.

Moreover, the waitresses inside are all adorable female attendants, and since it's located in Cattleya's strike zone, it was listed as a top priority.

After entering and ordering every dish, while waiting for the food to be served, Gadriya suddenly felt a gaze from behind and instinctively turned around.

Through the glass, I immediately saw the figure of the bamboo orchid.

But standing beside her was indeed a young man whose expression looked just as complicated as her own.

Cattleya, who was in a good mood because of her vacation, suddenly turned into a cat-like sullen face and glared at Qingyu with dissatisfaction.

……

Why does everyone in Beishang Township seem like an acquaintance?

After entering the largest private room in the restaurant, Qingyu looked at the petite blonde loli sitting on the other side of Zhulan, and her expression was somewhat complicated.

He hadn't expected that Cattleya would come along too.

There's going to be a party here, but guess who won't get an invitation?
Qingyu's somewhat subtle gaze quickly caught the attention of Gadria, who responded by frowning and glaring at Qingyu.

"I never expected to run into you in Beishang Township. What a coincidence, Cattleya."

Zhu Lan smiled and looked at Jia Deliya, who seemed to be exchanging glances with Qing Yu across her and Qing Yu's eyes.

"So many people this time, it must have cost you a lot of money again."

"It doesn't matter, it makes no difference to me whether I hire one person or a hundred people."

Cattleya's Versailles quote successfully made Qingyu raise an eyebrow.

No wonder she owns a castle; she's incredibly wealthy. The annual dividends from the expansion zone must be just a drop in the ocean for her...

Capital, you've won!
"So this Miss Cattleya is actually the leader of the pioneering zone in the battle zone?" Nemo quickly revealed an excited smile.

Although she didn't understand what these terms meant, she was very familiar with the word "battle"!

You must be a seasoned trainer who's really good at battles!

I really want to challenge Miss Gadria right now, but I have to fight Aoba-sensei later, so I'll have to wait until next time.

I hope I can challenge her a few more times when I have time!

"Well, starting next year I should officially hand over the role of leader of the pioneers to Shi Lan."

After speaking casually, Gadriya looked at Zhulan and, sure enough, read a hint of surprise on her face.

"Are you planning to take a break for a while?"

Zi Yu spoke up at the opportune moment.

Cattleya shook her head and quickly said:

"No, I plan to go to the Unova region and formally challenge for the Elite Four positions."

Although it was a decision made long ago, it seemed to be the first time it had been said in front of Zhu Lan and Qing Yu.

"United Nations?"

Zhu Lan tilted her head.

Although Unova is a region with a very high international profile, going overseas to challenge the Elite Four members is still...

It must be very tough, right?
"Actually, Grandma Kikuno is about to retire, and the position of Sinnoh Elite Four member might become vacant in a couple of years."

The Sinnoh Elite Four were originally planning to retire as a whole.

If it weren't for Granny Kikuno's concern that the alliance was full of inexperienced newcomers, perhaps Gadalia could have directly challenged the Heavenly King's test after finishing her seclusion.

Zhu Lan has always felt that this position is very suitable for Jia Deliya.

But Cattleya shook her head.

"No, I've decided to try Unova. Staying in Sinnoh won't help my growth anymore."

Although she failed to become the Elite Four member of Sinnoh, after thinking it through, Cattleya did not regret her decision.

Because regardless of the fact that Sinnoh already has an Elite Four member who is proficient in Psychic-type Pokémon and whose strength is not weak.

Even if I were to become a Champion in Sinnoh, the only opportunity I'd have to challenge Cynthia in a formal setting would be the annual Instructor Battle...

However, if you broaden your horizons and go to other regions, in addition to encountering more Pokémon to increase the depth of your team, you will also have more opportunities to meet Cynthia in international competitions.

She hadn't forgotten that her goal since becoming a trainer had always been to win against Cynthia in a fair and square manner!
"His goal is to become a Heavenly King? That's amazing!"

Zi Yu, representing the entire group, sighed sincerely.

Even her own father, Boss Ju, failed to pass the Heavenly King test.

Teacher Yu's connections are truly impressive. Besides Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion, there's also Cattleya, who challenged the Elite Four member...

Judging from her observation just now, the three of them must have a good relationship, right?

"Then I wish you success."

Upon seeing Cattleya's unprecedentedly serious expression, Zhu Lan quickly snapped out of her daze and smiled.

It seems that Cattleya has also begun to find her own path.

"Keep it up, don't embarrass Sinnoh."

Qingyu sighed, but still offered a word of encouragement to Jiadeliya.

Although it sounds a bit arrogant, Qingyu has no doubt that she will eventually become a superstar.

After all, that's how the script is written!
