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

Chapter 481 Cattleya's Offensive!
Raven City, Unova Region.

Li Xuan and Gadalia spent some time exploring Raven City.

I rode all sorts of things like roller coasters and bumper cars.

There weren't many attractions to enjoy, and most of them required long wait times.

But Cattleya still enjoyed it.

After all, it's an amusement park visit with Li Xuan.
It wasn't until evening that the familiar Ferris wheel ride began again!
"I didn't get to appreciate it properly last time I rode the Ferris wheel, but now that I'm looking at it closely, it has a different charm..."

Gadrilia leaned against the viewing window, her gaze lingering on the ever-changing cityscape outside, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"really."

Li Xuan followed her gaze and nodded slightly in agreement.

Caldelia couldn't help but chide her, "All I ever hear from you is 'indeed'? Can't you say anything else?"

After a moment of serious thought, Li Xuan calmly nodded: "That's true."

"..."

Gadriya couldn't hold back and was about to say something when she heard Li Xuan say, "Mainly, I didn't really appreciate the scenery at the time, so I couldn't come up with anything nice."

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What were you looking at at the time?"

Li Xuan did not answer, but simply gazed at Cattleya in silence.

"Well…"

When she met Li Xuan's gaze, Gadriya's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, even the tips of her ears turning a faint pink.

She lowered her eyes subconsciously, her fingertips unconsciously tightening around the hem of her skirt.

"I...I hate you, why are you so direct..."

Caldelia was surprised by Li Xuan's frankness, and her voice trembled slightly involuntarily.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan simply smiled slightly and said nothing more, turning his gaze back to the flowing night view outside the window.

The night was gentle.

Li Xuan gazed at the sky outside.

He hadn't been able to appreciate such a view in a long time.

The last time I paid attention to the night sky was when I was admiring the moon with Sabrina at the fighting dojo.

Sitting with Cattleya in the slowly rising Ferris wheel at this moment, I am experiencing a different kind of charm.

It's a feeling I can't quite describe.

It cannot be expressed in words.

The two fell silent for a moment.

As the cabin reached its highest point, just as Gadriya was about to speak, she saw Li Xuan gently point out the window.

Rumble!
Suddenly, bursts of blue lotus-shaped fireworks bloomed in the night sky!

The azure petals unfurled gracefully in the night, a truly astonishing sight!

Caldelia exclaimed involuntarily, "So beautiful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gadriya turned her gaze back and happened to meet Li Xuan's eyes.

She already understood.

These blue lotus fireworks filling the sky must be a surprise that Li Xuan has carefully prepared for her!
Unlike his previous somewhat rushed Ferris wheel trip, Li Xuan was clearly well-prepared this time.

read this.

Caldelia gracefully rose and moved from the opposite seat to sit next to Li Xuan.

Last time, Li Xuan took the initiative to approach her; this time, it's her turn to take that step.

"Li Xuan, you're traveling all over the world helping others, not seeking fame or fortune. What is it all for?"

Cattleya leaned gently on Li Xuan's shoulder, her voice tinged with confusion.

Although Li Xuan was busy, he never pursued honors such as championship titles, and this pure dedication intrigued her.

Ok……

Given Li Xuan's personality, it seems unlikely that he would be such a "pushover."

What exactly is it for?
Cattleya was somewhat puzzled.

"Just consider it building up some connections," Li Xuan replied, stroking his chin.

Gadria blinked; Li Xuan's answer still puzzled her.

With Li Xuan's current strength and status, why would he need to cultivate interpersonal relationships?
If there were really such a classic plot, wouldn't Reshiram and Kyurem just sweep through the enemy lines?
Li Xuan simply smiled and offered no further explanation.

Seeing this, Gadriya stopped asking questions and instead picked up her phone, opened the selfie app, and handed it over: "I won't ask any more questions. Let's take a group photo before we hit the bottom."

"it is good."

Li Xuan took the phone and adjusted the shooting angle.

"Come on, three, two, one... cheese."

Just as the shutter was about to be pressed, Cattleya suddenly turned to the side and gently pressed a lip print onto his cheek.

The sudden kiss left Li Xuan somewhat bewildered.

Cattleya, however, had already sat back down opposite her as if nothing had happened, casually picking up her phone as if the action had never occurred.

"After you're done with all this, remember to come with me on vacation to the Alola region!"

Cattleya originally wanted to persuade Li Xuan to stay overnight, but considering the unresolved crisis in the Hoenn region, she ultimately swallowed her words.

Li Xuan nodded in agreement: "Definitely."

After the two finished their agreement, the Ferris wheel was about to reach its bottom.

As the Ferris wheel slowly descended back to the ground, Ziyu had already been waiting on the platform for a long time.

She noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but ultimately she didn't ask any further questions.

However, there is still something to ask right now.

"Master Li Xuan, is there anything else planned?" Zi Yu asked softly.

“I’m preparing to head to the Hoenn region; there are still some things I haven’t finished taking care of there,” Li Xuan replied.

Zi Yu nodded thoughtfully, then hesitated for a moment before speaking, "There's something I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if this is a convenient time for you?"

"No problem, go ahead."

Li Xuan nodded, indicating that she could speak freely.

Zi Yu gathered her thoughts and extended an invitation: "I wonder if Master Li Xuan would be interested in becoming a teacher at Blueberry Academy? We desperately need an experienced trainer like you to guide our students."

"Um……"

Faced with Zi Yu's invitation, Li Xuan fell into a brief moment of contemplation, then looked at her and said, "It's hard to say."

Seeing this, Zi Yu waved her hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Master Li Xuan, there's no need to rush to reply. You can consider it carefully after you've finished dealing with Fengyuan's affairs."

"Alright, let's talk about it later."

Li Xuan nodded.

"Okay, then I won't bother you two any longer~ See you later, bye-bye~"

After Zi Yu politely said goodbye, only Li Xuan and Jia Deliya remained in the amusement park.

Even as the evening breeze blew, Cattleya's cheeks remained rosy.

She quietly touched her still slightly flushed cheeks with her fingertips, glancing at Li Xuan out of the corner of her eye from time to time.

The sudden kiss she had just given made her feel embarrassed afterward.

Cattleya asked softly, "When are you leaving for the Hoenn region?"

Li Xuan thought for a moment: "We'll be leaving soon, so I'll probably stay a while. Let's chat a bit longer, then I'll have Little Riolu take me back."

"so fast……"

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed across Cattleya's eyes.

Li Xuan naturally noticed Cattleya's low spirits, gently pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "I'll come back to take care of business after I've finished dealing with the important matters in Hoenn."

"!!!"

This promise made Gadriya's ears turn slightly red, and her previous melancholy instantly turned into anticipation.

As for the important matter Li Xuan mentioned...

So embarrassing!
The two walked for a while longer. "Then I'll go first."

With the help of Little Riolu, Li Xuan's figure gradually disappeared.

Gadriya watched Li Xuan's disappearing figure as she stood alone in the darkening amusement park.

After Li Xuan's figure disappeared.

Jia Deliya lights up her phone screen and lightly touches the album icon with her fingertip.

The photo taken at the highest point of the Ferris wheel came into view. In the picture, she leaned affectionately on Li Xuan's shoulder and gently kissed his cheek.

As for the background, it is a sky full of blooming blue lotus fireworks.

"Let me post something on WeChat Moments first~"

Gardner carefully selected filters to make the glow of the fireworks even more dreamlike, and finally captioned it "Tonight's starlight cannot compare to you," setting it to be visible only to mutual friends.

After sending the photo successfully, she repeatedly opened it, gently tracing Li Xuan's outline with her fingertips, a tender smile unconsciously playing on her lips.

……

……

Sinnoh region, Pokémon League.

Zhu Lan was playing on her phone in the office when she suddenly froze as she casually refreshed her WeChat Moments.

She saw the post that Jia Deliya had just made on her WeChat Moments.

The caption, the picture...

Tsk.

Zhu Lan zoomed in on the photo repeatedly to confirm, finally sighing and rubbing her forehead: "When did these two get to this point..."

Zhu Lan was already used to her best friend's proactive attitude.

After all, Gadriya's feelings for Li Xuan had already been made clear during their time together.

But looking at the undisguised intimacy of Cattleya in the photo, and the carefully arranged blue lotus fireworks in the background, Zhu Lan couldn't help but sigh softly.

Such a blatant display of affection is hardly something that the usually elegant and reserved young lady would do...

Clearly, Zhu Lan mistook the "fireworks" that Reshiram set off for those that Gadriya set off in order to "pursue" Li Xuan.

She picked up her coffee thoughtfully, not expecting things to happen so quickly.

Just as Zhu Lan was deep in thought while looking at her phone, the office door was gently pushed open.

Wusong and Aliu walked in carrying thick stacks of documents. When the two diligent Heavenly Kings saw the familiar expression on Zhulan's face, they exchanged a helpless look.

"You are here."

Zhu Lan had a smile playing on her lips.

The arrival of the two men was exactly what she wanted.

It saved me the time of making phone calls.

Wu Song, A Liu: "..."

Upon hearing this, the two of them knew they were doomed!

I have to do the work myself!

Ugh, this is so difficult!
Wu Song pushed up his glasses, needing to say nothing more.

Ah Liu had resigned herself to her fate and started tidying up the files on the table, even neatly arranging the energy drinks that were essential for working overtime.

Zhu Lan stood up, took the documents, and gave her two capable assistants an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry to trouble you to work overtime again."

Wu Song feigned elegance and said, "It is our honor to share your burdens."

Of course, although Wu Song spoke calmly, he had already silently calculated the amount of documents he needed to process that night.

estimate……

Another sleepless night.

A-Liu scratched his head and laughed heartily, "Haha, it's nothing. My newly caught Pokémon need special training, so I can look after them while I'm working overtime."

As he spoke, he released several Bug Pokémon, and these little guys began skillfully helping to organize the scattered documents.

Seeing this, Zhu Lan handed her phone to the two of them: "The work isn't too urgent, why don't you order some late-night snacks first? You can work and eat at the same time when you arrive."

Wow! Thank you, Sister Zhulan! You're so kind, Sister Zhulan!

Ah Liu leaned over excitedly, her fingers already swiping across the screen.

He had thought this was the job of the Four Heavenly Kings, but there was an unexpected surprise!
I can eat the barbecue that Zhulan is treating me to!
Comfortable!

"Um...I just..."

Wusong was about to politely decline when A-Liu grabbed his arm: "Wusong, why are you being so polite? Last time you came to discuss things with me in the middle of the night, you ate all the food in my house."

"Cough cough..."

When Ah Liu exposed his shortcomings on the spot, Wu Song coughed lightly, his ears turning slightly red.

A smile appeared in Zhu Lan's eyes. After they finished ordering, she quietly left the office with her coat.

After Zhu Lan left, A Liu and Wu Song returned to their "original state" and immediately threw themselves into their work.

However, with the help of Pokémon, the work will be much easier.

……

……

When Li Xuan returned to the Hoenn region, the midnight bells had already rung.

He landed atop Sky Pillar with several legendary Pokémon. Sensing the presence of a group of legendary Pokémon, Rayquaza assumed that an enemy had come to attack.

As a result, Li Xuan returned.

The dragon head that had been perched atop the pillar slowly rose up.

But after seeing the entourage following behind him, it couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Besides familiar legendary Pokémon like Groudon, Kyogre, Reshiram, and Kyurem, there's also Lugia and an unknown Pokémon, exuding a legendary aura.

What it cared about most was the purple-white figure that hovered in mid-air, radiating a unique spiritual energy.

It was Mewtwo
Rayquaza narrowed its vertical pupils in confusion. This life form, which was neither a Pokémon nor a human, carried an aura that even Rayquaza feared.

Instead of facing Rayquaza directly, Mewtwo suddenly looked up at the night sky, a pale blue halo appearing in its pupils.

It sensed a special energy ripple coming from outside the atmosphere.

That's a superpower fluctuation, imbued with cosmic particles, penetrating the ozone layer at a unique frequency...

Mewtwo unconsciously spread its arms, and a faint protective light film began to appear around its body.

It slowly closed its eyes, and a dazzling rainbow halo burst forth from its body.

An invisible mental barrier unfolded in the stratosphere, precisely cutting off the energy transmission from the universe.

"What do you mean? Nothing's wrong, is it?"

Li Xuan noticed Mewtwo's unusual behavior and went over to ask him about it.

Mewtwo opened its eyes, its pupils still shimmering with lingering energy: "A Psychic-type Pokémon is trying to break through the atmosphere, and its energy signature indicates it has a clear purpose. It seems to be looking for something?"

It tilted its head slightly to sense the remaining energy fluctuations: "Although this teleportation has been temporarily blocked, the other party should not give up easily."

Mewtwo then turned to Rayquaza: "Do you have any enemies?"

Rayquaza glanced subconsciously at Groudon and Kyogre, its tail swaying slightly involuntarily.

“It’s not them.” Mewtwo’s telepathic communication carried a hint of seriousness. “I can sense a threat from a much more distant place, an aura emanating from the depths of space.”

Liekongzuo fell silent, recalling several special experiences among the countless meteorites it had shattered over the centuries.

Those meteorites did indeed contain strangely shaped creatures, carrying energy fields that were out of place in this world.

Although they are Pokémon, there are still some differences.

Lie Kongzuo recounted the incident to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan thought about it.

I thought of a Pokémon.

Deoxys!
It can transform into many forms and is a mythical Pokémon that once beat Rayquaza in a movie!
I have to say, they really do match quite well.
