Gible wants to be a trainer

Chapter 167 Suffering from Inability to Care for Oneself Syndrome

Daigo hurriedly left while making a phone call to Michael.

However, judging from his expression when he left, Lu Sha guessed that the plan to send Lamikoli into the water must have been successful.

In the end, only Kona, Lu Sha, and Cattleya remained outside the Devon Private Battlefield.

Just as Kona was about to speak, through the mental link, Lu Sha's voice rang out directly in her mind:

On the surface, we chat about other things, casually touching on local customs and traditions.

Upon hearing this, Cona immediately understood, but she didn't continue the conversation.

She walked ahead with a cold expression, heading towards the hotel, but her pace noticeably slowed down, clearly waiting for Lu Sha and the others.

Since Kona was unwilling to do the bare minimum, Lu Sha was too lazy to force her.

He stretched lazily and followed alongside Cattleya.

In the shadows behind them, a Doronbaluto was lurking silently.

As a pseudo-legendary adult form with both Ghost and Dragon attributes, it's obvious whose Pokémon this is.

That guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Du, has actually started playing these kinds of petty tricks.

Lu Sha muttered to himself in the mental link, but on the surface he walked away as if nothing had happened, acting as if he didn't know Kona at all.

"Watari is a straightforward person. The fact that you were forced to resort to such crude surveillance methods only shows how malicious you are," Kona's slightly amused voice came from behind.

"Slander! Pure slander! I'm a good shark!" Lu Sha protested indignantly.

I agree with that. Compared to Wataru, you guys are definitely good people. I can foresee that I'll be cyberbullied half to death in the next day or two. Everyone will just criticize me for overestimating myself, and then Wataru will appear like a hero," Kona sighed.

"Tsk tsk, everyone says he's straightforward, but what he does is just not humane," Lu Sha teased.

"There's no way around it. Although Lance is a bit arrogant at heart, he's a good person at heart. However, as a member of the Dragon Clan, even the best person must prioritize the interests of the family," Kona responded.

"So you mean you understand but don't accept it? You're much more magnanimous than him." Lu Sha clicked her tongue in amazement.

What's there to misunderstand? If the gatekeepers were from the Orange Islands, I could have gone even further for my hometown. Fortunately, the people in my hometown are very kind and honest; they wouldn't force me to do such sordid things.

Kona's voice carried a hint of languor and relief.

She has lost, but she has also found a way out for the future. She now feels more relaxed than ever before.

"Speaking of which, if I really do end up following you guys in the future, should I become a member of the Sinnoh Elite Four or the Kalos Elite Four?"

Hearing these words, which were half a test and half a statement, Lu Sha grinned.

He enjoys dealing with straightforward and frank people.

It wasn't for nothing that they worked themselves to the bone late into the night, staging two fixed matches.

To become a member of the Sinnoh Elite Four, one needs at least Champion-level skill. To become a member of the Carlos Elite Four, the entire team needs to be at least Elite Four level.

Your ambitions are certainly grand.

If it weren't for the tail following behind, Kona would have wanted to turn around and look at her.

The standard configuration of a regional league is usually one champion plus four superstars.

The future rosters for these two regions are planned to include at least six champions and four top-tier stars.

This is no exaggeration.

Where does this Garchomp get its confidence from?

"This is entirely based on facts. Your participation completes the final piece of the puzzle," Lu Sha chuckled.

Is six champions a lot?

Currently, their team already has three potential champions: Karune, Cynthia, and the young lady.

With Kona included, that makes four.

In Lu Sha's view, finding two more people would be an easy task.

If all else fails, we can just invite Giovanni to Sinnoh to retire after he disbands Team Rocket.

The Heavenly King level would be even easier.

Dorasena and Gossong are both highly promising seeded players, and it's no problem for them to become top-ranked players in the near-1000s in the future.

With this dream lineup, they wouldn't be afraid to go head-to-head with the Kanto Alliance at its peak.

By then, who will be in charge of the alliance, and who will be the rightful leader, will be out of anyone else's control.

I, Shark, am destined to stand above the League!

The journey back to the hotel wasn't long, but it was enough for Kona to fully grasp Lu Sha's ambition and formally declare her allegiance.

In fact, Lu Sha also discovered that Kona was an easily satisfied person.

As long as they promise to develop the Orange Islands together and provide her with resources at the level of the four top regional powers, the other party will be satisfied.

In contrast, if the same resources were given to Du, he probably wouldn't even bother to look at them.

There's no way around it; scions of wealthy families are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, so their perspectives are naturally different.

Even now, the combined resources of the young lady and all the resources he possesses probably cannot compare to the foundation behind Du.

It is said that the Dragon Clan has at least ten Dragonite with champion-level strength.

Dragonite can live up to a thousand years.

When a Dragonite trainer dies, their Dragonite will return to the family to live out their days and breed new offspring.

The sheer number of Dragonite accumulated over generations is enough to overturn any human power in any region.

What? Why aren't there such powerful families in other regions?

Not all special abilities can be stably inherited, and not all families can prosper forever.

The heritage of the Yulong family is unique in the entire alliance.

Moreover, unlike the Dragon Royal Family, which worships Dragonite, most local families in other regions worship local legendary gods.

As we all know, most of the gods in the Pokémon world have abnormal brain circuits and are completely unreliable.

The long day finally came to an end amidst cheers celebrating Zhuqing Academy's first victory.

Apart from the few people present that night, no one else knew that two rigged matches had taken place that night.

By the time the sun rose as usual the next day, Lu Sha had already forgotten about his loss the night before.

"Click! (It's another beautiful day!)"

Lu Sha gently placed the sleeping young lady back on the bed, rolled over, stretched comfortably, and headed towards the bathroom.

Even with a mouthful of shark teeth, daily oral care is still essential.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Lu Sha grabbed an extra-large toothbrush and started brushing his sharp teeth vigorously.

He was extremely satisfied with his current Garchomp identity.

It has a humanoid, upright form, can fly and run, and its height of 2.3 meters is not too conspicuous. It can enjoy almost all the pleasures that humans can enjoy.

Moreover, like humans, Garchomps are viviparous mammals.

Oh, except for one case.

Pokémon are born as eggs only when they breed with other Pokémon.

As far as Lu Sha knows, if a human and a Pokémon mate, they usually produce offspring directly as mammals.

There are actually quite a few such examples in history. For instance, he knows of a specific case in the United States.

Of course, these are not important.

Importantly, after evolving into Garchomp, he finally officially became the powerful and imposing Ultimate form.

Her height of 2.3 meters is just right, and paired with the already 1.78-meter-tall young lady, the height difference doesn't look out of place at all.

However, perhaps because she has reached the golden age of growth, or perhaps because her superpowers have completely stabilized and no longer suppress her physical development, the young lady's height has recently increased very rapidly.

Now, he's a head taller than Cynthia.

and..

Lu Sha spat out two mouthfuls of mouthwash. Through the mirror in the bathroom, she could just see the young lady sitting up from the bed, still half asleep.

It seems like it started about a month ago, but the young lady suddenly stopped grinding for skill points at night.

Every day when I wake up, the only thing I get is a 10-point increase in my sleeping move proficiency.

Apart from that, there was absolutely no indication that she had actively cultivated.

It's unclear whether she's hit a plateau, where simply increasing proficiency doesn't bring about a qualitative change, causing her to become too lazy to practice, or if the young lady has some other ideas.

In any case, Lu Sha would never ask on her own initiative.

He didn't say a word when the young lady was secretly rolling them every night.

Now that the young lady is willing to sleep obediently, he is overjoyed and would never dare to say anything more.

In less than five minutes, Lu Sha finished washing up and returned to the master bedroom.

"Hmm..."

Cattleya's emerald eyes were still sleepy. Seeing Lu Sha approaching, she opened her arms without thinking.

The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on her cascading golden hair. Paired with a pure white nightgown, her adorable and charming appearance almost made Lu Sha bite her tongue.

"Click! (Get up and walk by yourself!)"

Although Lu Sha muttered something in disgust, he quickly stepped forward, picked up Princess Cattleya, and headed straight for the washroom.

Starting about a month ago, Cattleya's inability to care for herself became increasingly severe.

Now, the only thing missing is for him to personally help brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Click! (You wash up obediently. I'll take the Scizor and the others to the restaurant for dinner first, and then I'll pack up some of your favorite foods to bring back for you.)"

"Okay~"

After carefully placing Cattleya on the stool prepared in the bathroom, Lu Sha promptly left the room.

If he dared to stay in the bathroom, the young lady could definitely lean against the wall and continue sleeping until dark.

But whenever he goes out, no matter how long he's gone, he always returns with a completely refreshed and energetic young lady.

Carrying a small shoulder bag full of Poké Balls, Lu Sha left room 3301.

As he stepped out of his room, he subconsciously glanced at the door of room 3302 next door.

The door was wide open, and the cleaning lady had already started cleaning inside.

It's obvious that Du has already checked out and run away.

This is normal, though. Since they've already been eliminated in the round of 64, there's really no need for them to stay in Hoenn and suffer any more.

Back when they came here, they couldn't even get a chartered plane. I guess this time, they'll be slinking back to Quartz College and will have to solve their own transportation problems.

According to the sarcastic comments from netizens in Guandu.

Since I swam there by myself back then, I might as well swim back now.

They unexpectedly lost a key player before the start of the competition, and became the first unlucky team to be eliminated out of the 64 teams in the Academy Cup.

It's easy to imagine how badly Quartz Academy will be scolded when they go back this time.

The fact that the top seed from Kanto suffered a first-round exit is an unprecedented and humiliating achievement.

Taking the elevator, Lu Sha quickly arrived at the hotel restaurant.

The Devon Hotel’s breakfast restaurant is so spacious that it can accommodate hundreds of people dining with their Pokémon at the same time.

During the College Cup, the Devon Hotel will be closed to the public to accommodate the participating athletes and team leaders from various colleges.

It must be admitted that Devon Group is indeed very wealthy.

Looking at the restaurant, which was already more than half full, filled with students with youthful faces and all sorts of Pokémon around them, Lu Sha couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Pokémon that are too large are not allowed to be released indoors, but the players will generally release smaller Pokémon to have breakfast together.

The group of several hundred people, along with the Pokémon, were provided with free accommodation and meals, and the restaurant was open 24/7.

The Devon Group has spared no expense in organizing this Academy Cup.

"Little Shasha!"

As soon as Lu Sha appeared, Dorasena excitedly waved in their direction.

"Click! (Good morning, everyone!)"

Lu Sha casually tossed out a few Poké Balls, releasing all the Pokémon except for Azelf.

Although Arknom knew that Gadria and Lusha were its saviors, it only showed affection to the young lady and never really liked Lusha.

Because Arknom was cold to Rikusa, the young lady also didn't treat Arknom well.

Currently, there is no problem with commanding the troops, but the relationship between the two sides remains very strained.

If it weren't for the fact that the team was temporarily lacking in Champion-level combat power, and that Azelf was a Psychic-type Legendary, it would have been ruthlessly released by the young lady long ago.

It was only after Lu Sha persuaded her for a long time, and because Arknom's special identity was useful for the future plan to snipe the Galactic Team, that the young lady was reluctantly allowed to stay in the team.

"Good morning! Lu Sha, were you too excited to sleep last night?"

A-Liu greeted them with a grin, and casually pushed the extra portion of food she had prepared in front of the scythe into its pathetic form.

The other team members were in a similar posture.

As soon as Lu Sha released the Pokémon, there was no need for him to order food himself; everyone tacitly agreed to each order one.

They had barely pulled out their chairs and sat down when the Pokémon were already surrounded by a feast, with even the Dratini nestled comfortably in Doraemon's arms as they ate.

Actually, Dorasena also secretly wished she could snuggle into Lu Sha's arms and be fed.

But whenever the thought crossed her mind, she would feel a sudden pang of heart palpitation for no apparent reason.

Clearly, although someone hadn't arrived in person, their telekinetic powers had already locked onto this area.

Dora Sena inwardly grimaced, but had no choice but to interact with the mini-dragon in her arms.

She truly has absolutely no resistance to Dragon-type Pokémon. If Lu Sha doesn't work, then she can only pet Dratini.

"Click! (I slept really well last night. But you, what's with those dark circles under your eyes? What did you do to Wusong last night?)"

Lu Sha sat down on the dining chair with a flourish, took the plate handed to him by Cynthia, thanked her, and then looked at A Liu with a playful gaze.

Today, both A-Liu and Wu-Song had very obvious dark circles under their eyes, but their expressions were still excited, obviously they had a very exciting night out last night.

Thinking back to what happened last night, it seems Wusong really did go to A-Liu's room to sleep.

Click click click!

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm innocent! Don't drag me into this! It's that guy, Ah Liu, who's been yelling and spamming the game news all night. I couldn't sleep at all because of him!"

Wu Song pushed up his glasses, looking exhausted, and earnestly defended himself.

"Click! (Stop talking nonsense. If you want to sleep, just hypnotize him, right? Or if that doesn't work, hypnotize yourself.)"

Lu Sha took a big bite of the chicken leg, which she didn't know was from any kind of bird, and ruthlessly exposed its nature.

"Huh? Oh right! How could I have forgotten about that!"

Wu Song's hand holding the knife and fork stiffened slightly, but he quickly found a way to back down.

"Tch, listen to his nonsense. You were clearly more excited than me yesterday when we finally managed to squeeze Quartz Academy out of the top 64! You spent the whole night frantically contacting your former seniors and bragging to them!" Ah Liu bluntly exposed him on the spot.

"That's completely untrue!"

"Dare you share the chat history?"

"boring..."

Listening to the two "plastic brothers" undermining each other, Lu Sha laughed heartily and thoroughly enjoyed the sumptuous breakfast.

The restaurant was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
