An elf, a genius scientist who traveled from the world of One Piece.

Chapter 253 This cup is for Xiaolan

When Zhu Lan woke up the next day, she noticed that her best friend looked even more haggard.

This time, however, instead of comforting her best friend, she blushed and quickly ran away.

Su Sheng glanced at the superpowered girl, who seemed to have burned out, and felt that given Cattleya's current state, it would be better not to tell her the truth.

At least we don't have to witness that cruel scene from last night.

On the other side, the Hoenn Kanaz Gym.

Under the powerful attack of the Shiny Bear, Gym Leader Cuckoo's Nosegate was quickly defeated.

Seeing this, the referee immediately raised his flag and announced: "Nosebridge is unable to battle, and Bebop wins. Since both of Gym Leader Dujuan's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner of this Gym Challenge is Shigeru Oak from Pallet Town in Kanto!"

With his arms crossed, Gary cast a provocative glance at Ash, who was watching in stunned silence from the audience.

Coming to his senses, Ash gritted his teeth in frustration and encouraged the yellow mouse perched on his shoulder, "Pikachu! Let's do our best too!"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Meanwhile, in Suehiro Town, a boy and a girl made a bet: one would win the Hoenn League Ayame Tournament this year, while the other would win the Grand Festival.

But clearly, neither of their goals will be easy to achieve.

Due to the "reconstruction" of the Indigo Stadium, the main characters from Kanto and Johto, who are making their debut as rookie trainers this year, have all chosen the Hoenn Tournament as their first regional league.

Ash, Gary, and even Gin from Johto are all like this.

As for the Grand Festival, Sonia decides to aim for her third Grand Festival.

"The grand celebration is no longer a challenge for Sonia, is it? Unless Mikoli steps in to play a match."

One morning at breakfast, Su Sheng talked about this topic with his family.

"Well, so Sonia said that after winning this competition, she will retire from competitions and focus on taking care of someone and his Pokémon at home."

As she said this, Lulina glanced sideways at the chaotic living room.

When Sonia isn't around, these guys just let loose.

Just as Cynthia was about to join the conversation, her face suddenly turned pale, and she ran to the bathroom to dry heave uncontrollably, leaving the whole family looking at each other in bewilderment.

After breakfast, Su Sheng wanted to take Xilona to the hospital for a check-up, but Sister Zhulan absolutely refused to let him go with her.

Left with no other option, Su Sheng had to call the doctor to his home.

While waiting, Su Sheng picked up a newspaper.

Fengyuan’s “Purple Violet Daily” published several familiar faces of Su Sheng.

Xiao Mao, Safia, and Ruby, whom Su Sheng knew but hadn't met in person, were all on the list. The report stated: "After our station's star reporters, Mary and Xiao Dao..."

During Dai's interview, several outstanding new trainers were challenging this year's Hoenn League and Grand Festival. Among them was a 10-year-old trainer named Ruby, who turned 10 this year. Surprisingly, Ruby is the son of Gym Leader Grimm. Unlike Professor Oak's grandson, Gary, Ruby isn't aiming for the Hoenn League but rather the Grand Festival. However, Ruby's challenges will be far more severe than those of his peers, as he will be facing Sonia, one of Professor Su Sheng's girlfriends and the winner of the Grand Festival for two consecutive years, who possesses both Diancie and Mew, two legendary Pokémon.

While Su Sheng was reading the newspaper, the commotion downstairs grew even louder.

When Su Sheng went downstairs, he saw that Xiong Zheng was tightly hugging Zhu Lan, who looked unwilling, and gently stroking her flat stomach with his large hand.

"I have good news to tell you."

Pear Blossom's expression was complicated.

"Is Cabbage Sauce pregnant?"

Su Sheng asked with a smile.

"Did you give her special treatment?"

Pear Blossom was very indignant.

She and Su Sheng had sex earlier, so why did Shirona get pregnant first?

"How is that possible?"

Su Sheng smiled wryly.

How could he possibly control something like this?

"snort!"

Pear Blossom snorted and ignored Su Sheng.

"This child will definitely live a happy life."

Su Sheng squatted down in front of Shirona and took her hand.

"Just don't be a scumbag like his father."

Cynthia said irritably.

Su Sheng had no rebuttal.

"What's the child's name?"

Hu Tao asked excitedly.

"How is Su Ailan?"

Su Sheng said subconsciously.

"And Su Aitao, Su Aili, and Su Aini, right?"

Pear Blossom slapped Su Sheng in an annoyed tone.

When discussing children before, Su Sheng mentioned that he named his child "Su Aili".

I was so blind back then, I was actually quite touched, but this guy used the same template forever.

Will there be other brands like "Su Aike", "Su Aiju", and "Su Ailu" in the future?

Su Sheng's expression turned serious, and he said, "How about Su Molan, Su Jianlan, and Su Chunlan? It just so happens that the Zhu Lan family all have 'Lan' in their names."

Grandmother: Mustard seed orchid; eldest granddaughter: Bamboo orchid; youngest granddaughter: Lily of the valley orchid.

They are all orchids.

"Screw you, I'll figure it out myself."

Even Cynthia couldn't stand it anymore.

"Why do you always name your children after your daughters? Aren't you afraid it will turn out to be a son?"

Lulina asked, amused.

When Su Sheng woke up the next day, he found Jie Zilan and his younger sister Linglan sitting in the living room.

"President Mustard Orchid, what brings you here?"

Su Sheng quickly stepped forward to greet them, but before he could finish speaking, he was startled by the pile of baby supplies behind the grandfather and grandson.

"Still calling yourself 'President'? You heartless brat!"

Mustard Orchid glared fiercely at Su Sheng.

Even if your circumstances prevent you from getting married, you should at least be careful about how you address people!

"I'm so sorry, Grandma."

Su Sheng clasped his hands together in apology.

Little Lily of the Valley said cutely, "Actually, we arrived last night, oh dear!"

As soon as Linglan finished speaking, she received a hard slap on the buttock.

Su Sheng: ...

Su Sheng suddenly wondered if he had awakened some kind of causal weapon while he and Zhu Lan were doing things together.

Why do I always get seen by others?

I need to be more careful in the future.

Su Da Guanren had no interest in performing for others, and thankfully, both times he saw women.

"It's best for women not to have sex when they are pregnant."

After telling her granddaughter to shut up, Jie Zilan gave Su Sheng a serious warning.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Take me upstairs to see my great-grandson."

Mustard seed orchid said impatiently.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Su Sheng really wanted to say that even his eldest granddaughter hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy.

But Su, who was in the wrong, could only become a ruthless nodding machine at this moment, and whatever the old man said went.

While Jie Zilan was rubbing her belly under her eldest granddaughter's resentful gaze, photos of her and her youngest granddaughter frantically buying baby products at the Zhuqing City Department Store the previous night had already spread like wildfire across various media outlets.

Newspaper editors in countless regions were frantically rushing to meet deadlines, and the printing presses were practically smoking from the dryness.

Sinnoh's "Celebration TV" broadcast: "Chairman Mustard and Lily of the Valley are buying a large quantity of baby supplies. The Sinnoh League will welcome the greatest trainer in history who will inherit the bloodline of Dr. Sue and Ms. Cynthia."

Carlos Miare TV: "This will be the biggest news of the year. We thought it was Miss Sonia who was pregnant, but Miss Cynthia beat us to it. Meanwhile, Miss Karin, who has been with Dr. Su Sheng the longest, has yet to show any signs of pregnancy. Our station has invited Carlos's top gynecologist to analyze the reasons. The program will air tomorrow at 6 p.m.

Kanto's Golden Evening News: "With the arrival of the Holy Son, and Team Rocket's growing power, the Indigo League continues to replenish its forces, and Dr. Su Sheng's child is exactly what we want."

Galar's "Gongmen Economic News": "According to eyewitnesses, President Roz has left Galar on a private plane, but strangely, the flight route is not to Alola but to Hoenn. Meanwhile, Ms. Sonia, one of Dr. Su Sheng's girlfriends, is participating in the Grand Contest."

……

Within just a few hours, Su Sheng's phone had received 99+ missed calls.

Representatives from various regions sent gifts.

Lorze, who usually pays the most attention to these kinds of things, was the last to arrive this time.

After Sonia returned, she quietly told Su Sheng that after learning about this, Loz went directly to Hoenn to ask if she could let her child be registered as a Galatian citizen.

While speechless, Su Sheng couldn't help but admire Loz's business acumen.

Knowing that her child with Zhulan could not be of Galatian nationality, she set her sights on her child with Sonia.

Moreover, anticipating that the child's father would be in high demand at this time, he first spoke with the child's mother.

As Lorz joined the drinking party, he raised his glass and exclaimed, "This is a great moment! Dr. Su Sheng's children will lead the world into a new era. Let's toast to Xiao Lan!"

He had just learned from Jie Zilan that, after discussion between the two families, they had decided to name the child "Su Xiaolan".

Well, Su Sheng thinks this name doesn't sound as good as his own "Su Ailan".

"Respect to Xiaolan!"

All the guests raised their glasses with smiles.

Later that evening, many people got quite drunk.

The retired Mr. Damaranchi was quite pleased, but he was not insistent on having Su Sheng's children join Kanto or Johto.

Anyway, they'll all be playing for the league.

With Hoopa around, the league can immediately send reinforcements no matter what region is in trouble.

To be fair, in terms of overall strategy, Damaranchi is indeed superior to Loz.

Mikuri, who was also quite drunk, clung to Daigo's leg and mumbled, "A child... I think... Naki... let's have a child too... Waaah... Waaah..."

Su Sheng immediately took out his phone to record a video, intending to post it online when he had time.

Later that evening, Su Sheng had just had Xiao Hupa send the people away when Sakaki arrived with tide Jiana, Xiao Lan, and others.

……

Cynthia is only one month pregnant, and her due date is still a long way off.

After celebrating for several days and confirming that the mother and child were healthy, Su Sheng and his family returned to their respective lives.

A week later, Sonia, who won her second glamorous ribbon this year, tossed her hair and smiled at the camera, saying, "I'm so happy to welcome Asheng's first child this year. It just so happens that I'm planning to participate in the glamorous celebration one last time this year before officially retiring. I like participating in the glamorous competition, but I like children even more, let alone Asheng's child."

As soon as the interview ended, a boy wearing a white knitted hat suddenly knelt down in front of Sonia and cried out in anguish:

"You and your Pokémon are so dazzling! So beautiful! Please take me as your apprentice!"

Sonia blinked, stunned for a moment before reacting. She smiled, waved to the boy, and turned to leave. "Sorry, I have no plans to take on any disciples, and this is my last Grand Contest."

"Ah! Master! Wait for me!"

Faced with the boy's persistent following, Sonia had no choice but to summon Mew and teleport away.

Three months later, on a small island in the southern part of Hoenn.

This is where Darkroc captured Latios, only to have Rika steal him away; now it's the site of Team Rocket's temporary base.

Inside the base's conference room, watching the figure gradually emerge from the portal, Sakaki said, "Sorry, Asheng, for calling you here while you were with your wife and kids. Mainly... um!?"

Sakagi was only halfway through his sentence when he was startled when he saw Su Sheng walk out.

Su Sheng, whom I hadn't seen for two months, had lost a lot of weight.

"Ah, Ah Sheng, what's wrong...?"

Sakaki asked with a puzzled look.

"Never mind, let's get down to business."

Su Sheng waved his hand and said.

He really didn't want to say that Pear Blossom had been draining him every night for the past two months.

"Team Lava and Team Ocean have produced a top player."

After taking their seats, the two quickly got down to business.

A month ago, on the summit of Chimney Mountain, adjacent to Blazetown, Team Lava and Team Ocean engaged in a fierce battle to snatch a meteorite from a scientist.

While the battle between the two sides was at a stalemate, Apollo led Team Rocket to join the attack and launched a surprise attack on Team Marines and Team Magma, led by their respective second-in-commands, Fountain and Bonfire.

They were about to take them down when suddenly a skilled player wearing a hood and covering the upper half of his face appeared from Team Magma, using Salamence.

His strength was comparable to that of a high-level champion, and he single-handedly defeated the team led by Apollo.

Two days earlier, at the Weather Institute located a dozen kilometers west of Inju City.

Apollo learned that the Ocean Team planned to invade the area and steal data.

That expert from Team Magma who used Salamence was indeed difficult to deal with.

But Team Ocean doesn't have a decent trainer.

Full of confidence, Apollo led his team to the Weather Institute again, ready to teach the Ocean Team a lesson.

Unexpectedly, a skilled player wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face and using sticky dragons appeared from the Ocean team.

They also possess the strength of a high-level champion.

He single-handedly defeated Apollo's royal guard.

The Apollos were dumbfounded.

Damn, I didn't hear about Team Magma or Team Aqua having such skilled players when I was investigating before.

And what a coincidence, they all use dragons.

After two consecutive failures, Apollo dared not act rashly and reported the matter to Sakaki.

Sakaki also vaguely sensed that something was wrong and called Su Sheng over to discuss it.

"Covering their faces... and they're using Salamence and Goodra?"

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

After listening to Sakaki's account, he roughly guessed who this so-called "expert" was.

"Let Xijia, Xiaolan, and Mary go, Uncle."

After thinking for a moment, Su Sheng said, "In the original plan, the Hoenn region was to be managed by Shiokana. It just so happens to be her hometown. Maybe going there will help her regain her past memories."

Sakaki nodded. It just so happens that the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" department hasn't shown its face since its establishment. They can use Team Magma and Team Ocean, two third-rate organizations, as stepping stones.

However, when talking about Shiokana, Sakaki thought of another question.

"Although Shiokana has power comparable to a Champion-level Pokémon after you modified her, Asheng, don't you plan to let her catch her own Pokémon? After all, one person's power is limited."

Upon hearing this, Su Sheng smiled and said, "Xijia has her own Pokémon, but it's currently missing. Sending her to Hoenn this time should help us find it."
