Chapter 102 The Gears of Fate Begin to Turn

"The Joker is nearby, isn't he? Why are you all here in Sinnoh? What's your purpose!?"

Cynthia has shed her girl-next-door demeanor from when she was discussing history with Sina. Although still quite naive, she has already shown some of the future Sinnoh Valkyrie's style.

Pear Blossom remained silent, only raising her hand to give Houndoom a command.

Houndoom let out a chilling growl from its throat, and the pillar of fire it spat out split into five during its flight, forming the character "大" (big).

Big characters explode!

Upon seeing this, Lucario raised his arms high, as if giving a French military salute.

The next instant, a light blue semi-circular protective shield rose from the body.

Ultimate Protection Trick!

The large characters exploded on the semi-circular protective cover.

Although they were all blocked, the impact they caused was real.

The towering flames illuminated the night sky above the town.

Many townspeople who had just turned off their lights and were about to go to sleep turned them back on, and many even went outside to see what was going on.

"Don't come out! There's a criminal!"

Cynthia shouted a reminder:

"It's the Joker!"

It has to be said that the title "Joker" is quite useful.

To be honest, before the Asagi Dojo incident, the average person might have wanted to come and watch the spectacle if they heard the name "Joker".

After all, he had brought countless criminals to justice, and he had also saved thousands of people during the Manjin Station incident.

This led many people to give him nicknames such as "righteous thief" and "chivalrous bandit".

Even in the Johto region, there are quite a few fans.

However, after the Asagi Gym incident.

Joker's reputation... is no different from that of any other Rockets team.

He's a pure criminal.

Upon seeing the attitude of the town's residents, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly beneath her pear blossom mask.

Although she knew Su Sheng didn't care about his reputation, she was still somewhat annoyed.

The problem clearly lies with Mr. Cai Shen's family, yet Su Sheng is now taking the blame.

"Lightning speed!"

Just then, a gust of wind rushed to Blackie's front and slammed into the big black dog's face.

It's Cynthia's Lucario!

"Woof!"

However, despite taking a direct hit, Houndoom only staggered a little.

They did not lose their balance, nor were they knocked away.

"What!?"

Cynthia was secretly startled.

Even among the gym leaders in the Sinnoh League.

There are probably no more than three creatures that could remain so unmoved after being hit by Lucario's Extreme Speed.

"Our elves are all very resilient."

Pear Blossom's lips curled slightly. "Flame Breath!"

"Bullet Fist!"

Cynthia made a quick decision and chose to use a high-speed move similar to Godspeed.

Lucario was faster, landing a right hook on Houndoom's side.

However, it does not prevent the release of jet flames.

Houndoom, having taken a punch, twisted its head and unleashed a torrent of raging flames at Lucario.

"Lucario!"

Cynthia shouted in concern.

Lucario crossed his arms in front of him to avoid being hit in his weakest point, his face.

After quickly exiting the range of the jet flame.

Lucario's dark blue fur was covered in burn marks.

"What exactly do you want from Sinnoh?"

Cynthia questioned again.

She is not yet the champion of the Sinnoh League, but she is a part of the Sinnoh region.

What exactly does Joker, the S-class criminal who gives even the Indigo League headquarters a headache, want to do in Sinnoh?

What made Cynthia even more uneasy was that she didn't know where the Joker had gone.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

I have no obligation to tell you.

Pear Blossom said expressionlessly.

"Sister Hina, is there anything in Mijna that the Joker might covet?"

Seeing that the masked woman refused to speak, Cynthia asked Cynthia for advice.

Sheena, who was being protected behind, was also taken aback.

Mijna is just a small place, and there's nothing of value in it... Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Sheena remembered something and called out anxiously:

"I'm going home!"

Life's precious gem!

The precious gem of life that I kept hidden at home!

If you have something on your hands that might attract the attention of criminals, then this is the only possibility.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Pear Blossom waved her hand, signaling Black Luluga to block Sheena.

I absolutely cannot let this woman who can summon gods out of my sight.

"Soar through the skies, Garchomp!"

Meanwhile, Cynthia had already put away Lucario and switched to her ace Garchomp.

That immediately made the difference apparent.

……

Deep within ancient ruins.

"Hey! Is this a crown? Hehe, let me try it on."

Yishu picked up a rusty crown and put it on his head, pointing at the air in a mocking manner:

"My beloved subjects, rise!"

Unable to stand it any longer, Su Sheng walked over and kicked him in the butt.

While Yishu was clutching his backside and howling in pain, Su Sheng noticed a plain-looking walking stick placed in the corner.

What makes it so eye-catching is that the top of the cane resembles a flower bud about to bloom.

After fiddling around for a while, Su Sheng discovered another button at the bottom of the "flower bud".

Click~

The moment you press it, the tightly closed "petals" automatically open.

A palm-sized gem, radiating a bluish light, like a dream, instantly illuminated the entire underground ruins.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

A tree, which was rubbing its bottom, jumped up in surprise.

beautiful!

"Let's hurry and reunite with Pear Blossom."

Su Sheng also smiled.

They finally succeeded.

……

After pulling out her ace Garchomp, Rika was increasingly put on the defensive.

In the original work, Rika's strength is definitely among the top of the Heavenly King level.

They've even stepped one foot into the champion category.

With Su Sheng's help, her current strength far surpasses that of her at the same age in the original timeline.

If Pear Blossom, with her talent, still can't reach the level of a champion in the future, then Su Sheng feels that both of them might as well commit suicide.

However, she is still slightly inferior to Cynthia.

After all, Cynthia is among the top tier of champions.

If it were Karuni instead, it would be much easier.

While Cynthia was holding off Rika, Cynthia had already rushed home.

Upon opening the safe, they found a gleaming gem.

However, compared to the one Su Sheng found in the ruins, its light was indeed far too dim.

The difference is comparable to that between a chosen one and the Great Sage.

"That's wonderful, the Life Jewel is still here."

Hina breathed a sigh of relief.

What she feared most was falling into a trap, having her precious jade stolen while she was away from home.

Sheena clutched the "Orb of Life" to her chest and went outside to shout to Cynthia, who was still engaged in battle:

"Cynthia! It's okay! The stuff is still here!"

Although Cynthia didn't know what the Jewel of Life was, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Cynthia say that.

But doubts soon followed.

If nothing was lost, then where did the Joker go?

Cynthia glanced up at the opponent's Houndoom, which was already nearing its limit.

Forget it, let's just arrest them and question them.

"Garuda! Dragon Claw!"

Cynthia swung her arm.

Garchomp's right arm blazed with a sharp blue light, its entire arm resembling a peerless sword, as it swung fiercely at Houndoom.

"Evil Pulse!"

Houndoom, under Rika's orders, still wanted to retaliate.

But no, he was at his physical limit and couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed!

when!

A crisp sound, like steel clashing, rang out.

Pear Blossom and Cynthia, standing on either side of each other on the street, simultaneously changed their expressions.

Suddenly, a Umbreon appeared and jumped between the dragon and the dog.

The bulging muscles of the right forepaw were raised to block the Garchomp's dragon claw.

"I didn't expect to run into you here."

The sound also came from the side.

This was Su Sheng and Cynthia's first encounter.

The gears of fate have begun to turn.
