Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 539 Rivals and Rivals

Chapter 539 Rivals and Rivals (Part Two)

Fang Yan stayed in the Hoenn region for a few days. During these days, Shana and Tomoyo went on an all-out adventure, acting completely outrageous and lawless.

Right now, a katana is crouching in the bushes, flicking its tongue, and staring menacingly at the chubby little boy who is fast asleep on the blanket.

There were other children nearby, fast asleep on other blankets.

Fang Yan sat in the tree, looking at Principal Sachi yawning under it, and complained, "Principal Sachi, is it really a good idea for us to be camping at this time?"

Principal Sachi took a sip of the flower tea Miss Gothic had given him; it was sweet and delightful. The sun shone through the leaves overhead, and a gentle autumn breeze made him squint in comfort.

"After going through such a big thing, it's only right that these kids get some time to relax."

Principal Sachi spoke very slowly.

"So, you don't necessarily have to come along to relax, do you?"

Fang Yan sat in the tree, looking around for Shana and Tomoyo. After listening to what Principal Sachi had said, he asked a question.

"Since you're free anyway, coming with me will ensure the safety of these kids."

"I'm not idle at all, Principal Sachi. I'm very busy. You know, as the second champion of the Sinnoh region, the acting champion of the Unova region, and the owner of the breeding center, I have a lot of work to do every day."

"Come on, I specifically asked Xiaoshana yesterday, and she said you've been taking them around to play these past few days."

"Can you believe what Little Shana says? If you could believe what Little Shana says, Gengar would be a model student."

Gengar standing to the side: ? ? ?

"So I even went to ask Tomoyo."

dialect:----

"I, an old man, dared to face the Primal Kyogre for the safety of little Shana and little Tomoyo. Now I'm asking you to help me look after the children, and you won't even agree?"

Wow! No wonder he's a scholar!

One sentence completely shut down the dialect.

"Oh, Principal Sachi, what are you saying? Even without this incident, you've already asked, how could I possibly refuse?"

Principal Sachi did not reply, but instead sipped his herbal tea and listened attentively to the children's intermittent snores.

"Strange, where are Shana and Tomoyo?" Fang Yan looked around for a long time but couldn't find Shana and Tomoyo, and was a little puzzled.

At this moment, the katakine, which was hiding behind the bushes, prepared to launch an attack. It twisted its body and crawled out of the bushes, its long and terrifying fangs gleaming coldly.

It kept twisting its body, but found that the distance between it and its target had not decreased at all. When it looked back, it saw two little girls in princess dresses standing at its tail. The little girl in the red princess dress grinned at it when she saw it turn around, and she was holding its tail tightly in her hands.

Under the terrified gaze of the clematis, Shana grabbed its tail, swung it around a few times, and then released her grip, sending the clematis flying.

Goodbye, Spoon Snake.

Shana watched the flying serpent, politely waved to it, and said...

Spoon Snake: I will definitely come back!

"I knew it was up to no good!"

Tomoyo, holding Dratini beside her, looked up with Shana at the Scyther flying further and further away and said...

"So little Shana knocked it away," Shana replied crisply.

"Little Shana will not let it hurt other children."

"But little Shana, aren't you a child too?" Tomoyo asked, puzzled.

Shana looked away, then turned to Tomoyo and blinked.

"Tomoyo, you're so boring."

Tomoyo:————

"This is a metaphor! Do you understand what a metaphor is?"

"And I'm much better than most kids." Shana raised a small fist to indicate to Tomoyo that she was very good.

"Indeed." Tomoyo nodded, lifted the little mini with both hands, and held it close.

"That's right, that's right," Shana said proudly, hands on her hips and head held high.

"That's why they ended up losing every single match."

"We agreed not to talk about this!" Shana pouted and looked at Tomoyo.

"Hmph! I don't want to play with you anymore."

Shana turned and left.

"Little Shana, you're so boring."

Shana turned around.

???

"I was just joking, you know that's a joke?"

Shana blinked. Why did that sentence seem so familiar?

Fang Yan, sitting in the tree, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She always seeks revenge; that's just how Miss Power is!

"You've corrupted Tomoyo."

Shana pointed at Tomoyo and launched a counterattack.

Tomoyo tilted her cute little head, looked at Shana, and said, "Uncle said that if you spend a lot of time with someone, you'll start to resemble that person."

"I knew it! You've been corrupted by your uncle! Your uncle is the biggest villain in the animal shelter!"

dialect:???

Gengar standing nearby: Wahahahahaha!

That's right, little Shana, dialects are the biggest villain!

Tomoyo blinked and said expressionlessly, "I learned it from Shana."

Shana: ————

Dialect & Gengar: [Trying not to laugh]

"You—you—humph! Little Shana has decided to ignore you today!"

Shana bared her teeth at Tomoyo, turned around and stormed off, sitting down under a tree.

Tomoyo walked over carrying Mini and sat down next to Shana.

Shana moved to the side, creating some distance.

"How about I treat you to some sausage?" Tomoyo said.

"No way!"

"The extra half is yours."

"whee."

Shana moved back to her original seat, sat next to Tomoyo, took the half sausage Tomoyo offered, and happily started munching on it.

"Since you're so sincere, I'll forgive you for now."

Children's awkwardness comes and goes quickly.

As expected, only Tomoyo could handle Sana.

"Principal Sachi, do you want to stay in the Hoenn region or return to Twinleaf Town?"

Upon hearing the question in dialect, Principal Sachi thought for a moment before replying, "I've visited all the gyms in the Hoenn region. After I take them back to Rustboro Academy to say goodbye to my old friends in the next few days, I'll head back to Twinleaf Town."

"Okay, I'll be going to the Carlos region in the next few days. I'll go back to Twinleaf Town with you when I get back."

"Carlos region? What's the shopkeeper doing in the Carlos region?"

Principal Sachi asked curiously.

Fang Yan smiled and said, "I had something to take care of. I left something there and need to go get it."

"I see." Principal Sachi didn't ask any further questions.

At his age, he was already used to things that didn't need to be said explicitly.

"The Carlos region? Uncle, I want to go too!"

Shana launched herself into the air, stood under the tree, looked up at the dialect above her head, and raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to go too.

"Where are you going?"

Fang Yan stared at Shana and asked.

"Hmm————" Shana's eyes started rolling around.

"Because Manon invited me and Tomoyo to come over and play sometime," Shana said crisply.

"But if Tomoyo and I go back, we won't have much time to go out and play, especially in the Carlos region. So, Uncle, when you go this time, can you take me with you too?"

Shana grinned and asked.

"real?"

I don't quite believe in dialects.

"Really, Shana wouldn't lie to you. If Shana were lying, she wouldn't win a single match from now on!"

What a vicious oath!

Fang Yan was startled.

But little Shana, are you sure you've ever won?

"Actually, Tomoyo also wants to go to the Carlos region to visit the Prism Tower. She's never been there before, and neither has Shana."

Tomoyo, standing to the side: ? ? ?

Huh? Me?

Haven't I been there?

Oh right! I've never been there!

Tomoyo completely abandoned her memories of her parents taking her on vacations to various regions, and then nodded vigorously.

"Uncle, let's just stay with Manon from now on, okay?" Tomoyo said cheerfully.

Fang Yan hesitated.

Shana might lie—but Zhi—probably not?

Moreover, there was indeed not much danger in the Carlos region this time.

"So you promise you'll behave?"

"I promise!"

Seeing this, Tomoyo immediately stood at attention, "I promise too!"

Fang Yan nodded, jumped down from the tree, silently stood up, patted the mud off his face, and calmly asked, "Principal Sachi, shall I take the two of them to the Carlos region then?"

Principal Sachi nodded. "No problem."

The situation in the Hoenn region is nearing completion.

Alain bid farewell to Manon, Steven, and Michael.

"Daigo-sensei, Champion Michael, then we'll head back to the Carlos region."

Michael nodded, while Steven asked, "Aren't you continuing your Hoenn journey?"

Ai Lan shook his head. "I've learned a lot this time. I'm going back to the Carlos region to train properly."

This journey through Hoenn, whether it was traveling with Manon, sparring with Steven, battling Primal Groudon, or handling affairs and exchanging battle experiences with the two champions, all benefited him greatly.

Since Manon wanted to return to Kalos, he decided to go back to the Kalos region first, to properly process his Hoenn journey, and then travel around the Kalos region again.

Find the Mega Evolution Messengers in the Kalos region and defeat them all!

"Alright, I look forward to our next match." Daigo stepped forward, patted Alain on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

Alain nodded, then turned and led Manon toward the helicopter that Daigo had prepared.

"Um—how about I come along if you don't mind?"

Fang Yan's voice rang out, and everyone turned around to see Fang Yan leading Shana and Tomoyo toward them.

"Is the dialect shopkeeper going to Carlos too?" Daigo asked curiously.

Fang Yan stopped in front of everyone, dismounted from the Nine-Tailed Fox's back, nodded and said, "I happen to have something to do and was about to go to Carlos. The Seven-Colored Giant Stone is over there. Rayquaza asked me to help retrieve it, so I'm going to go and get it back."

"The Seven-Colored Giant Rock—in Carlos?"

Daigo frowned and looked at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan shrugged at him gently, and a knowing look flashed in Dai Wu's eyes.

"Do you need me to come over?"

Fang Yan shook his head. "No need. The aftermath of the Hoenn incident is more important. I can handle it on my own."

Daigo nodded. "If you need any help, just let me know. Our Hoenn region owes you a huge favor this time."

After Daigo finished speaking, he bowed slightly to express his deepest gratitude.

"Putting our relationship aside, as champions, our duty is to be wherever we're needed, isn't it?"

Daigo and Michael nodded at the same time.

"Then...shall we go?" Ai Lan asked.

Fang Yan nodded and followed behind Ai Lan, preparing to step into the helicopter.

Suddenly, golden light burst forth from the sky.

The commotion drew everyone's attention.

The wooden pendant on his chest floated up out of thin air, and Fang Yan grasped it.

[In dialect, another Deoxys took advantage of the moment I was entangled with it and fell down, its target being your Sinnoh region.]

"————?"

"Didn't you say they wouldn't come in with you around?"

I said He won't come in, I didn't say anything about them.

Fang Yan loosened the wooden pendant, letting it hang naturally around her chest, and sighed.

"What happened?"

Daigo asked in a low voice.

"Deoxys sneaked in during the lull between Rayquaza and Ultra Necrozma and is now flying towards the Sinnoh region."

Fang Yan continued, "Cynthia and Lance are dealing with the Ultra Beast problem in the Alola region. There is currently no Champion in the Sinnoh region."

"Deoxys—Shouldn't the Elite Four be able to handle him?"

"Mikeli asked."

"There was already one there—"

Mikoli: ————

"Never mind, I'll go back."

After speaking in dialect, he looked at Shana and Tomoyo, who were chatting happily with Manon inside the helicopter. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alan, please take good care of Shana and Tomoyo for me, okay?"

Ai Lan paused for a moment, then nodded. "That's no problem. We already have one Manong, so two more won't make a difference. But aren't you, Manager Fangyan, going along too?"

Shana and Tomoyo turned to look at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan smiled at them, then looked at Ai Lan and said, "There's something I need to take care of in the Sinnoh region. I'll go there after I'm done."

"Didn't Manon invite Shana and Tomoyo over? I'd like to ask you to look after them for me. I'll go over after I'm done with my work, it shouldn't take long."

"Visiting? Huh?! I didn't—oh, that's right!"

Manon suddenly shouted.

Fang Yan was a little confused, but he nodded nonetheless.

As the helicopter closed its doors and slowly took off, Fang Yan flipped himself onto the invisible Latias.

"Then I'll be going now, you two." Fang Yan said goodbye to Daigo and Michael and then soared into the sky.

Inside the helicopter cabin.

Manon looked at Shana and Tomoyo and said, "When did I invite you over? If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would probably have been taken back."

Shana chuckled.

Ai Lan's eyes widened. "You—you ran away?!"

"No, Uncle Alain, it's because you were originally going to the Carlos region, and we came with you. We didn't sneak out. We really wanted to go to Carlos, so we said Sister Manon invited us. But something came up for Uncle—"

Shana explained.

Ai Lan: ————

Listening to the chattering sounds around her, Ai Lan painfully leaned her head against the window and then closed her eyes.

So annoying————

I shouldn't have agreed to it.

Should we wait until after we reach Miare City and then entrust them to Dr. Blatano?

The plane landed.

Ai Lan chose to take them to her place, let them settle in, and then let them rest for the night.

The next morning, Alan took them to Vladali's research institute, leaving them at his usual workplace while he went to visit Vladali.

Arriving at the door of Vladali's office, he knocked, then opened it. Alan found someone sitting on the sofa in Vladali's office.

A brown hedgehog with spiky hair, wearing a pristine white coat, with a dozing Umbreon perched on its lap.

He is ————

"Representative, I'm back."

Vladari nodded and said, "You've worked hard this time. Thanks to you and Mr. Daigo, I was able to better analyze the energy of the seven-colored boulder."

"I believe this force can make our world a better place."

Ai Lan quickly lowered her head, "It's what I should do."

The spiky-haired boy on the sofa kept stroking Umbreon's head while secretly observing the two of them.

A slight smile played at the corners of her lips.

A seven-colored giant rock?

"By the way, Alain, let me introduce you. This is a researcher from our Kalos region. He is an expert in Ancient Pokémon and has also done extensive research on Mega Evolution."

Vladali looked at the two who had locked eyes, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"He's also a user of Mega Evolution."

"Vladali said."

Ai Lan's gaze turned sharp the moment she looked at the boy in front of her. The boy was not afraid and instead looked back at her directly.

"He is also a scholar I specifically invited to analyze the energy of the seven-colored boulder."

"His name is ————"

"Hello, my name is Shigeru Oki."

Shigeru stood up and extended his hand to Ai Lan.

"Shigeru Ohgi? Doctor Ohgi————Dr. Ohgi?"

"I am his grandson."

Ai Lan's pupils contracted.

Just like myself —
