Chapter 96 The Burial of Furongwang (Pear Blossom Version)

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the banquet and reception followed.

This was considered Rainbow Company's opening banquet, and also a farewell to Gladion and Lillie.

"Asheng, this is Queen Lizhi of our Akala Island."

Kukui was all smiles as he kept introducing local Alora public figures to Su Sheng.

"Hello, Sister Lizhi. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Su Sheng warmly shook hands with the other party.

"No, no, this is what I wanted to say."

Lizhi, who had been unable to find a suitable partner and was very concerned about her age, was clearly pleased to hear Su Sheng address her in that way.

After finishing the introduction, Kukui pulled Su Sheng along, looking grateful, and said:

"Asheng, I have great news for you! President Damaranchi has agreed to let Alora join the League! Hahaha... Hahaha... Waaaaah!"

Kukui was laughing at first, but then she burst into tears.

My long-cherished wish has finally come true at this moment.

Barnett quickly stepped forward, handed her boyfriend a tissue, and said apologetically:

"He was too excited, Asheng, please don't take offense."

Damaranchi then walked up with a smile, "Actually, I've long felt that Alola should become part of the League, but I just haven't found the right opportunity before. Today everyone is happy, so this old man will take the liberty of making this decision."

Barnett rolled her eyes as she tried to comfort her boyfriend.

He wondered if Su Sheng hadn't come up with the move learning device, would you have agreed so readily?

"Thank you very much, Mr. Damaranchi. However, the current strength of the Alola region..."

He wasn't surprised that Damaranchi had agreed to let Arora join the league almost ten years ahead of schedule.

He could guess the reason.

However, to be fair, Alola's current strength doesn't seem sufficient to form a league.

Putting everything else aside, can you even assemble a basic lineup of one champion, four kings, and eight gym leaders?

"That's nothing. You don't necessarily have to have champion-level strength to be a champion. For example, Ms. Dorasena, the current champion of the Carlos League, only has king-level strength."

Liz interjected.

Su Sheng: ...

The overall strength of the Carlos Alliance is indeed hard to describe in a few words.

But Su Sheng didn't expect that before Karuni's rise, the entire league didn't have a single champion-level player.

Although Karuni is considered to be in a lower tier among the league champions.

Almost defeated by Ash's Greninja, Su Sheng's impression of her was only her hairstyle, which resembled Hepburn's, and her legs.

"Actually, the basic conditions for establishing a league are only one champion and eight gym leaders. It doesn't matter if the Elite Four are not there, Galar doesn't have the Elite Four."

"Now that you have Asheng, Yishu, and Huali, don't you?"

Kukui, who was drunk, said excitedly, completely unaware that when he said "Galácticos has no Four Heavenly Kings," Rose's face turned black.

Su Sheng blinked.

I'm not really interested in being a champion.

"Yishu and Huali? Are they Su Sheng's two friends?"

"I asked Dama Lanqi curiously."

"Yes, it's me, the president."

Yishu came up with a smile and greeted him:

"However, Karin wasn't feeling well today and couldn't come. Please forgive her."

Kona said with great interest:

"When we arrived, Dr. Kukui kept praising the three of you. I'm a little curious, how about we have a little sparring session?"

Hearing Connor say this, Ichiki became interested.

I'm also very curious about how much of a gap there is between me and the Four Heavenly Kings.

Just as Yishu was about to agree, he noticed Su Sheng staring at him.

Realizing what was happening, Yishu immediately declined:

"Let's skip today, I just want to have a good meal right now."

Yishu's team roster has been revealed by the league.

Open combat makes it too easy to expose one's true intentions.

It would be fine if Ichiki used a newly caught Pokémon.

The problem is that after the Asagi Gym incident, Itsuki didn't catch any new Pokémon.

"Really? Then Su..."

Seeing that Yi Shu refused, Ke subconsciously turned his attention to Su Sheng.

"If Queen Kona doesn't mind, how about we have a friendly spar?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came.

Su Sheng and Yi Shu were startled.

That sound...

Even Damaranchi was taken aback; the voice sounded familiar.

Turning my head, I saw a girl with gray hair in pigtails, whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of the character "Fu Rong Wang" walking towards me.

"Pear...uh..."

One tree almost shouted out the name "Pear Blossom".

The next second, under the other person's fierce gaze, he swallowed the word "flower" back down his throat.

Why do you look different?

"Miss Karin is here? This is the first time we've seen her without her sunglasses."

Kukui blinked and said, "This kid has gained quite a bit of weight in the month I haven't seen him."

"That chubby little face is so cute."

Barnett clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes shining.

Only Su Sheng, who possessed the power of Everlasting, keenly noticed that Rika had an extra Poké Ball on her waist.

Those things inside are probably...

"You borrowed Zoroa of Gladio?"

Su Sheng whispered in Pear Blossom's ear, behind her disguise, and asked.

"Wearing sunglasses so late at night, isn't that strange?"

Pear Blossom asked in a low voice.

"Use the new sprite."

Su Sheng whispered a reminder.

"Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as Yishu."

……

Rika then walked up to Lorelei. "I greatly admire Lorelei, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Could you perhaps give me some pointers?"

Kona glanced at the slightly chubby girl in front of her, and after much thought, nodded and said:

"no problem."

After the two girls decided to have a friendly match, the guests at the banquet voluntarily cleared out a space of nearly 100 square meters for Rika and Kona to use as a temporary battlefield.

Whether it was Damaranchi, Loz, and Yeci who had come from afar, or Kukui, Hara, and the others who were locals, they all looked on with curiosity.

After all, according to what Kukui just said, that gray twin-tailed girl might become one of the Alola League's Elite Four in the future.

Let's see what she's capable of now.

"Let the hunt begin, Flamecat!"

Pear Blossom threw out the Poké Ball first.

Kukui and Banette were both stunned when they saw the kitten fall to the ground with the white light.

"Isn't this the one I gave to Miss Karin last month?"

Kukui looked at the gleaming, fiery red fur and nodded approvingly, "It's been raised very well."

last month?

Upon hearing those three words from Kukui, Kona deduced that this was a new Pokémon that the other party had recently acquired.

You want to fight me with a new Pokémon?

Are you underestimating me?

Kona's red lips curled slightly as she tossed a Poké Ball with a backhand motion.

What appeared was a snow-white Pangolin!

"A white pangolin!?"

Yi Shu asked in surprise.

"It's the Alola form of Sandslash."

Su Sheng explained from the side.

Presumably, this is Lorelei's new partner that she caught after coming to Alola, probably because she saw Rin using a new Pokémon.

Su Sheng remembered that in the game "Let's Go, Peek! Go, Eevee!", Lorelei did indeed have an Alolan Sandslash.

However... the combination of Steel and Ice, with a fourfold weakness to Fighting and Fire types, is a rather weak type combination.
