Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 372 Gadriya: Li Xuan, what are you doing bringing me and Naz here?

"Mio~" (It's Meloetta~)
Little Riolu blurted out Meloetta's name, causing Li Xuan to raise an eyebrow.

Good grief, we've just arrived in the Unova region and we're already meeting Meloetta in person?

"Mio..." (However, I sensed the arrival of many malicious waveguides...)
Riolu frowned slightly, closed its eyes, and used its aura to sense the situation in Flying Cloud City.

Clearly, Feiyun City has now been infiltrated by local evil organizations.

"I see... I think I understand now."

Upon hearing "malicious waveguide," Li Xuan immediately thought of the plasma team.

Fortunately, the Plasma teams in the Unova region aren't that strong, and Riolu is enough to solo them.

At least we don't have to worry about a character like the big boss from Team Rocket appearing.

Of course, this is the case when the three dragons of the Way of Unova do not appear.

If it appears, even a small Riolu would have to avoid its sharp edge.

It's not that we can't win, but that going all out can easily affect the environment and could potentially lead to widespread death and destruction.

"Mio." (After you've put your luggage away, go to that alley over there; Meloye Tower is there.)
Little Rio urged Li Xuan on, not wanting to see its friend being taken away.

There are also differences in the strength of Mythical Pokémon, and most of the Mythical Pokémon in the Unova region are just weaklings.

The kind of thing where even three of them combined couldn't shake a single toe of yours.

Among them, Meloetta's strength is even weaker!
It is the kind of dish that is among the best, and even the old craftsmen who built it might not be able to pass Li Xuan's test.

Incidentally, all of Li Xuan's Pokémon are currently at level 45, and he has a minimum of 5 badges required to challenge the Fighting Dojo.

Among them, the old craftsman has the lowest strength, just level 45.

After joining the ranks of the eight major academies, the system was upgraded.

Currently, Pokémon below Champion level will have their power-up efficiency increased when using "Hypnotic Punch".

Previously, he was below the Heavenly King level.

Currently, it's below Champion level, which means that Li Xuan will soon have his own Champion-level Pokémon!
Genesect doesn't count, since he picked up Akromma.

The Abandoned Monkey's strength is improving rapidly, and it will likely reach champion level soon.

When I participate in the gym competition jointly organized by the Kanto and Johto regions, I will be fully confident.

As long as he didn't encounter overpowered Pokémon like Giovanni's Beedrill or Luffy's Boar, Li Xuan felt he had a fighting chance.

Even if we can't win, we won't lose in a humiliating way.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Strength is the source of confidence.

With strength, you will have nothing to fear, no matter where you go!

Thinking of this, Li Xuan turned to Naz and Gadria and said, "Let's go, let's check into the hotel first, and then I'll take you to Feiyun City to have some fun."

"Uh-huh!"

How many rooms do you want to open?

"what?"

Hearing Naz's words, not only was Gadriya shocked, but even Li Xuan was shocked.

"Three rooms, what else?"

Li Xuan blinked, looked at the number of rooms Wanlong had booked for him on his phone, and then handed it to Nazi to see.

"It's nothing. I... I was just asking casually."

Naz's tone was somewhat cold, but Li Xuan could detect a hint of disappointment in her words.

This made Li Xuan raise an eyebrow.

Would you like to share a room with Cattleya here?

"It's alright, Naz, if you want to share a room with Cattleya, you can stay together. After all, they're both double rooms, so it's not a problem for two people to sleep in one."

Li Xuan glanced at the hotel's specifications: a 1.8m king-size bed, which could easily sleep two people.

Sabrina: "..." Gadriya: "?"

Li Xuan didn't notice their expressions and walked ahead to lead the way.

After checking in, we asked Little Rio to lead the way to the alley where Meloye Tower was located.

……

……

In an unnamed alley in Feiyun City.

Separated from the glamorous main road of Feiyun City by only a wall, this nameless alley seems to be a corner forgotten by the world.

The mottled walls are covered with fluorescent graffiti, and the drain is filled with the tattered pages of expired magazines.

Those who don't know the situation might think that this was a place that was deliberately omitted during the construction of Feiyun City.

Like all glamorous cities, "urban villages" exist.

At this moment, the alleys here look exactly like urban villages.

Is Meloetta here?

Li Xuan touched his chin. Although he had expected it, he had a completely different feeling when he was actually there.

Being brought to him by Riolu reminded Li Xuan of the days he fought in underground boxing matches at a fighting club before he inherited the dojo.

"It stinks in here, Li Xuan, why did you bring us here?"

Cattleya lowered her voice a few times, using her superpowers to levitate herself and deliberately moved closer to Li Xuan to ask.

The alleyway, the dim lighting, gave her a strange feeling...

"I'll take you to meet one of Riolu's friends."

Li Xuan put Little Riolu on his shoulder and listened to it say that Meloetta was in the alley, but they had walked for so long and still hadn't found it.

"Mio." (Don't rush, young people, be careful not to get too agitated.)
Little Riolu sensed Li Xuan's current mood, comforted him, and then scanned the surroundings with its eyes.

In its perception, its long-lost friend Meloeta was currently in a building.

But it didn't know exactly where it was.

The only way to find the other party is by using waveguides.

However, the deeper one goes, the more mixed the waveguides become, even obscuring the waveguides of Meloetta.

Little Riolu had to slow down its search to carefully sense Meloetta's waveguide from among a large number of waveguides.

"Shhh."

Li Xuan suddenly gestured for silence.

Nazi and Gadria both paused, then followed Li Xuan to hide behind a pile of cardboard boxes nearby.

"what happened?"

Cattleya whispered in Li Xuan's ear.

"Hey, over there, there are members of Team Plasma."

Li Xuan pointed outside, and the two exchanged a glance before cautiously peeking out to look ahead.

Deep in the alley, several figures draped in gray robes stood still like statues.

They wore hoods that covered half their faces and had the Plasma Team's iconic badge pinned to their chests, looking like a group of ascetics who had stepped out of a religious mural.

Behind them, more than a dozen heavily disguised investigators were scanning every inch of the wall with instruments.

The Akroma machines they held emitted regular "beep" sounds, and the beams of their searchlights occasionally swept across the damp brick cracks, startling a few peep mice.

"What is this doing?"

Sabrina frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the actions of the Team Plasma members.

"I don't know, they're probably looking for Riolu's friend."

Li Xuan stroked his chin and asked, "How about I count to three, two, one, and we charge in together?"
