Gible wants to be a trainer

Chapter 184 The Confidence Brought by Strength

The sun rises and sets, and the moon sets; the sun rises as usual.

That late-night training session, while producing two champion-level trainers, didn't cause much of a stir on the surface.

The two colleges tacitly suppressed the news, as if nothing had happened under the night sky that night.

However, behind the scenes, the high-ranking trainers in the Hoenn region have been visibly more frequently in contact with the Sinnoh and Kalos factions.

A 16-year-old superstar is not unprecedented in history.

In those turbulent times, children under the age of 10 might have to risk their lives in the wild.

Throughout countless years of history, geniuses have been as numerous as the stars.

Even so, a 16-year-old champion is still a one-of-a-kind achievement.

At the age of 16 years and 9 months, Gadriya reached the champion level.

This record was witnessed by dozens of genius trainers on the spot and personally recognized by Elite Four leader Genji, the strongest member of the Hoenn League.

However, this record has been temporarily shelved.

But everyone present knew perfectly well that it was only a matter of time before the name Cattleya became known throughout the world.

"Click! (Is today the last match of the second round? Tomorrow we'll be entering the third round of the knockout stage.)"

At the highest point of the stands in the German-style arena, Lu Sha let out a big yawn.

His back leaned lazily against the cold wall, idly looking down at the bustling battlefield below.

Out of sheer boredom, he and Cattleya decided to come out for some fresh air and watch the game.

What is about to begin is the final battle of the second round of the knockout stage:

Hoenn's German Academy VS Sinnoh's Seaside Academy.

Both of these academies have some connection to Lu Sha and his group, which is the only reason they were willing to move over.

"Miss Cattleya, I didn't expect you to come to watch the game."

"Click? (Ye Ci?)"

Lu Sha looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Ci, dressed in a smart business suit, walking towards them.

At this moment, Gadriya was nestled in Lu Sha's arms, using Lu Sha as a cushion, without even lifting her head.

Her beautiful, emerald-like eyes were slightly unfocused as she stared at the empty field below, where the fight had not yet begun, seemingly in a standby state, lost in thought.

"Click! (Miss Yeci, is there something you need from us?)"

Lu Sha took the initiative to ask.

There's nothing we can do; it's just that our young lady often shuts out the outside world and immerses herself in her own little world.

This kind of troublesome social activity can only be handled by his mouth.

Fortunately, the stronger the trainer, the more sensitive they are to the language and emotions of Pokémon.

Even if they can't understand every single word, they can still get a general idea of ​​what it means with the help of various special abilities.

Clearly, Ye Ci understood what Lu Sha meant.

She chuckled and shook her head gently: "It's nothing, I just happened to see you all, so I came over to say hello."

She didn't look at or disturb Cattleya, but walked to the railing, took a step towards the battlefield, and naturally placed her hands on the railing.

The area they were in was the highest point on the battlefield and also the last row of the spectator stands.

There are no seats here, and the private rooms are not in this direction; there is only a narrow and quiet aisle.

"I really enjoy watching the game from the highest point. This commanding view allows me to take in every detail and every change in the game. Do you choose to stand here because you share the same idea?"

Ye Ci gazed at the distant arena, her voice soft yet revealing her desire for control.

Lu Sha could tell that the chief of Padia was trying to elicit some kind of resonance.

But what does this have to do with them?

We're not all on the same path.

"Click! (We came here purely because it's quiet and there's no one else here. If you want to see the whole place clearly, even if you stand in the very bottom corner, you can still see everything perfectly.)" Lu Sha replied with a chuckle.

He instinctively wanted to cross his arms and strike a pose, but Cattleya was curled up softly in his arms, so his arms only encircled the girl more tightly in front of him.

Gadriya still ignored Ye Ci, but snuggled closer to Lu Sha, shifted to a more comfortable position, and continued to gaze at the scenery in a daze.

"Wherever I am, I can control the entire situation. It's a very domineering and confident belief."

Ye Ci smiled, her face showing not embarrassment at being rejected, but rather a deep appreciation.

She herself was a person with a strong desire for control, and because of this, she could see that Cattleya's arrogance and desire for control were definitely stronger than hers.

Lu Sha's remarks just now were very much in line with her impression of Cattleya.

Ye Ci did not receive any further reply from Lu Sha, nor did she show any impatience. Her gaze remained calmly fixed on the ground below.

Just then, the German Academy team entered.

Daigo and Michael walked side by side at the front, and the entire venue erupted in deafening cheers and screams, almost lifting the dome off.

"The atmosphere at the home stadium is really lively. I wonder if there will be a chance to host such a grand Academy Cup in Padilla in the future?"

After watching the German Academy enter, Ye Ci turned around with a smile and extended an invitation to Lu Sha: "How about we make a bet? Let's bet on the score of this match, whether it's 2-0 or 2-1?"

In her eyes, Lu Sha had become a mouth double for Gadria.

After all, it's common knowledge among trainers that superpowered individuals often have some quirks.

Some people like to talk to their dolls, while others prefer to communicate through telepathy.

In Ye Ci's view, it was perfectly acceptable for Cattleya to choose to have her Pokémon do the work.

"Click! (2 to 1, what's the bet?)"

Lu Sha casually replied, his gaze sweeping over the team from Binhai Academy.

What a pleasant surprise!

Before this, he had never paid attention to those small, insignificant teams.

Caldelia did write down the list, but the information gap between the two sides was significant.

Many people are just ordinary trainers right now.

Tsk tsk...

Huoxing, Suixing, Zhenxing.

Goodness, this Binhai Academy might be fully sponsored by Team Galaxy.

These three future core cadres were all present in the team.

Even considering their future strength, these three are not much to look at.

But as a villainous cadre who will later wreak havoc on the region, it won't be a problem for him to cause some trouble for the German Academy.

As for defeating the German Academy...

This was not even on anyone's radar.

Playing against the third-ranked Academy team in Sinnoh, especially in Hoenn's home territory.

If this still causes the German Academy to fail, Daigo might as well just find a block of tofu and kill himself.

However, on the other hand, Lu Sha actually had a bit of a mischievous streak and wanted to see Daigo's expression when he messed up.

Unfortunately, the overall strength of Binhai College is indeed somewhat lacking.

"You're actually guessing 2-1? Haha, as expected of someone hailed as a born champion, you're really confident in your own region's team. I'll guess 2-0 then."

Ye Ci smiled slightly, then offered the bait: "As for the wager... there's a very special type of Pokémon in the Padia region. If I'm wrong, I'll take the liberty of giving you a special Pokémon that matches your style, how about it?"

"Click! (Can I choose? In exchange, I'll offer a King-level Fish King.)" Lu Sha immediately replied.

What are the special Pokémon in Padia?

He knows it all too well!

Whether it's the Future or Ancient species, they are special Pokémon whose rarity is in no way inferior to pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Among them are several that are actually variants of pseudo-gods, and Lu Sha has always wanted to get a few to raise for fun.

Under normal circumstances, it would be incredibly difficult for people in other regions to obtain such paradoxical Pokémon.

During this stage, the future species and the ancient species were treasured and kept hidden away by Padia.

Lu Sha knew very well that Ye Ci had deliberately thrown out bait.

But now that the sugar coating has been offered, how could Master Shark not accept it?

"Of course you can choose for yourself. But judging from your tone, you seem to know a lot about our Padiyaa. If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to visit us anytime. I will personally entertain you with the highest honors."

Ye Ci's smile remained unchanged, clearly understanding Lu Sha's unspoken meaning.

For her, the more outsiders understood the Padiyas, the better.

Especially when the person's name is Cattleya.

Padiya is never stingy in providing resources to top experts in other regions. As long as their reputation spreads and they stir up the waters, the region's development will naturally follow suit.

What if one day a powerful Pokémon decides to settle in Padilla?

"Click! (Iron Warrior, Roaring Moon, Winged Hair, Howling Tail, Iron Thorns—any of these will do, you decide.)"

Lu Sha rattled off a string of names as if reciting a menu.

His primary consideration in choosing Pokémon wasn't team composition or strength; it was purely based on personal preference.

The Pokémon he just mentioned correspond to Gallade, Salamence, Misdreavus, Jigglypuff, and Tyranitar.

After transforming into a future or ancient species, their appearance and fashion sense increase dramatically, making them a source of pride when taken out.

However, these words struck Ye Ci like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

Her expression was complicated, even showing a hint of horror as she looked at Cattleya.

If it weren't for the intelligence clearly stating that the other party had never set foot in Padia, she would have almost doubted whether Cattleya was a native researcher of Padia.

These Pokémon names are currently only known to a very small number of high-ranking officials in Padia and researchers in District Zero; they are absolutely top secret and kept from the outside world.

How did she know?

Could it be... that there's a mole within the higher echelons of Padia?

"Click! (Just give me a straight answer, okay?)"

Looking at Ye Ci's unpredictable expression, Lu Sha was too lazy to play along with her roundabout talk and spoke crisply and decisively.

The young lady is already a champion-level fighter, so who would bother with those superficial tests?

If all else fails, next time I travel to Padiya, I can just bring the red and white balls to Zone 0 for free and buy them.

Looking at the world today, you can count the number of trainers who can reliably defeat the young lady on two hands.

Moreover, those few were mostly old men who were practically half-buried in the ground.

The young lady's current foundation may still be a bit lacking, but if she really disregards martial ethics and engages in a chaotic battle in the wild, her win rate is almost 100%.

There's no way around it; other trainers focus all their strength on boosting their Pokémon, while the young lady focuses all her strength on her own output, making her a pure counter to trainers.

With strength at this level, why would he need to eat Tauros meat?

"OK!"

Ye Ci took a deep breath and readily agreed.

Her pause just now was purely an internal search for a traitor, not out of concern for a Pokémon.

She had originally planned to give away a Paradox Pokémon to win over Gadria.

This diplomatic practice of exchanging local specialty Pokémon is a basic practice among all leagues, and even the Kanto League is no exception.

Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be human relationships and social customs.

"However, in Padia's current inventory, there are only Roar Tail and Winged Hair, which are the ancient species of Jigglypuff and Misdreavus."

"If you want the other ones, I might need to go back and personally lead a team to catch them for you," Ye Ci added sincerely.

"Click! (This battle hasn't even started yet, why do you sound like you're about to admit defeat?)" Lu Sha teased playfully.

"Haha, it's just a Pokémon. Even if I win the bet, I can satisfy your needs through other trades."

Ye Ci smiled without any airs, completely unconcerned about the outcome.

She's not a Pokémon protector, but a regional supremacist.

Her lifelong pursuit was to elevate Padia to the pinnacle of world dominance.

She is willing to pay any price for this goal, and is even willing to give up being a trainer at any time.

"Click! (Straightforward guy! Then let's roar our tails. If we guess wrong this time, not only will we hand over that King-level fish, but we'll also owe Padia a favor.)"

17

Lu Sha put away her joking tone and made a very serious promise.

Times have changed. The kindness of a 16-year-old champion is absolutely priceless in this world.

Even if the other party doesn't know that the young lady has already won the championship.

"It's a deal!"

Ye Ci's eyes lit up instantly, and she agreed without hesitation.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that all that preparation was for Lu Sha to say those words.

In the third round of the knockout stage, Padia Orange Academy's opponent was Sinnoh Celebration Academy.

Out of a desire to know herself and her enemy, she conducted an extremely thorough investigation into Cattleya.

But the more I investigated, the more I felt a deep-seated shudder.

She never imagined that such an irrational freak could be born into this world.

From the moment Gadlia officially embarked on her journey as a trainer to the moment she reached the pinnacle with absolute dominance, it took her less than four months in total.

This rate of growth cannot be described as genius; it is a miracle.

Even though Ci didn't know that Gadriya had already broken through to the champion level.

But she was equally certain that it was only a matter of time before her opponent became the champion.

Moreover, she firmly believes that Cattleya will definitely reach the level of a master in the future.

That supreme realm, openly held only by Professor Oak in the current League.

For Padia, trading a rare but valuable Paradox Pokémon for a favor from such a monstrous genius was an absolute steal.
