Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

Occasionally, genetic mutations may occur within a population, resulting in individuals with other skin colors, although these individuals typically do not live for more than a few days.

There are simply too many factors that can cause a crocodile to die in its youth. The crocodile, the dominant species in freshwater, actually has quite a few enemies, including itself, as adult crocodiles will also prey on young crocodiles.

A person with unusual skin color not only faces inherent dangers in this environment, but also the predicament of being unable to hunt due to their dissimilarity to their surroundings, and often does not survive for long.

Of course, there are always exceptions. One day, perhaps due to albinism or something, a pure white crocodile was born into this world by chance.

Unlike its predecessors, it did not disappear quickly. In order to survive, it became more cunning and cruel than other small crocodiles. Despite its congenital defects, it had more patience and a stronger desire to live than any other small crocodile.

Eventually, it grew into adulthood. The arduous journey it took made it more terrifying and stronger than ordinary crocodiles, and it also had better endurance.

The same principle applies: the ability of anomalies to survive under natural conditions implies that they are more terrifying in certain aspects.

Just like this little Magnemite.

It looks incredibly weak; even an ordinary Magnemite looks much stronger. Yet, it's a genuine elite-level Pokémon! This is a level that an ordinary Magnemite would need to reach at least the level of a three-in-one Magnemite, or even more commonly, the level of a self-destructing Magnemite—it's terrifying!

"That child wants you to be her Pokémon." Kazama Shiramo said bluntly, looking at the Mini 14... I mean, the Mini Magnemite, which was spinning in mid-air.

"Ssss!" Although it looks a bit silly, Magnemite, as a Pokémon, couldn't possibly be clueless about something like this. Just like Slowpoke, who might seem like an idiot, but is actually probably smarter than you! Yes, I'm saying you're an idiot too!

"There's a small battle arena outside the Pokémon Center, let's go outside." Righteous and awe-inspiring, he invited Magnemite, tugging at his collar as he felt an inexplicable heat towards this Pokémon.

"Let me give you a heads-up." Kazama Shiramo raised an eyebrow slightly and gave the righteous and awe-inspiring look that made her heart skip a beat: "That little Magnemite isn't as simple as you think. If you underestimate it, you'll suffer a great loss."

"I know, I know." Zheng Yi's heart inexplicably quickened, whether because of the Magnemite or because of that somewhat teasing look in its eyes.

——————————————————————————————

Luckily, there weren't many people on the battlefield. After a fierce battle between the two cute little boys, and after Popo took down the shorts-wearing boy's Caterpie with a single ramming attack, it was finally the turn of the righteous one.

"Please guide me, Magnemite!" With a righteous air, he strode forward a short distance, pulled out a Poké Ball, and tossed it into the field: "Go, Arcanine!"

Zheng Yilinran is a very serious person and someone who can listen to others' opinions. After receiving advice from Kazama Shiramo, Zheng Yilinran decided to be on high alert.

Arcanine, with Poliwrath and Charizard still receiving treatment at the Pokémon Center, is arguably the strongest Pokémon in the arsenal of the Righteous One, based on its level. Arcanine is also a very strong Pokémon at its level. In addition, Arcanine's pure Fire type makes it an excellent choice against Steel and Electric-type Magnemite. However, in terms of type advantages and disadvantages, it may be the one with the greatest advantage over Poliwrath and Charizard.

"Zzzzt!" Magnemite floated in the air and spun around once, then unleashed a burst of 100,000 volts without hesitation!

"So fast!" This speed was something Zheng Yilin had never expected. It was quite rare for a Pokémon like Magnemite to have already learned Thunderbolt. Moreover, this Thunderbolt came very quickly, leaving no time to react. Arcanine took the hit head-on.

The only saving grace was that this Thunderbolt attack was incredibly fast but not very powerful, and since Arcanine's type wasn't super effective, taking this Thunderbolt wasn't a big problem.

"Arcanine, use Shadow Clone Technique at high speed!" A hint of competitiveness surged within his righteous heart. You think you're fast? Arcanine can be faster than you!

The swiftly moving Arcanine, combined with the special effect of Shadow Clone, made the scene incredibly cool and even drew cheers from the surrounding kids. The newcomers, who were used to being bumped and pecked, still found this exciting scene quite thrilling.

"Arcanine, Flamethrower!" The righteous warrior's idea was simple: he had already distracted Magnemite, and as long as this Flamethrower hit at close range, the duel would be over!

"A blunder!" Kazama Shiramo uttered two words. In this situation, using a powerful move to decide the outcome in one strike seemed like the right choice, but against this tiny Magnemite, the hit rate of using a Flamethrower was pitifully low, and besides...

It was exposed. The righteous and awe-inspiring high-speed movement and shadow clones had originally worked well, but this attack exposed the position of the Arcanine, which had been well hidden.

Sure enough, Magnemite wobbled leisurely, its body gracefully passing through the gap in Flareon, easily drawing an arc before unleashing a powerful shockwave that accurately struck Arcanine, which was in a somewhat awkward position.

Although it didn't hurt much, it served as a wake-up call for Zheng Yilan, reminding him that he had been too hasty!

With a righteous and resolute expression, she gently bit her lip and issued a command that somewhat satisfied Kazama Shiramo: "Arcanine, use Flame Vortex!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Kazama Shiro felt that Justice was basically secured, and all that was left was to buy a watermelon and slowly enjoy it, when his communicator rang...

P.S. Second update, finally here! Um, I have to get up for class at 7 AM, emmmmmm, I'm basically doomed.

P.S. I'm still begging for votes, I'm practically dead on the internet. Can't you guys have some pity on me and give me some votes to keep me going? I asked for five chapter recommendations and I've been on the weekly collection list for fourteen hours =_= Meanwhile, when I was chatting with a big shot on the other side, they said they didn't know how they got on the list either, it just inexplicably happened. I say I'm envious, but I'm actually really envious, so envious I'm dying!

Chapter 49 The Dragon Envoy's Reputation is Harmed

"Watari? Why would he contact me?" Kazama Shiramo stared at the name displayed on the communicator, a slight conflict churning within him—should he answer or not?

It's not that I'm targeting him, but this guy only contacts me a handful of times. Even when Sephiroth contacts me, it's usually something good, like sending money, a raise, or a wage increase. But when this guy contacts me, it's never anything good.

"Hello, the person you are calling is not in the Kanto region. Please call again later."

"Although your female voice is incredibly lifelike, do you know that the voice of the communicator's service is three parts less playful and two parts more aloof and mechanical?" Du's very formulaic language revealed the kind of sarcasm that implied you were a jerk. Fengjing Baimo could even imagine his indifferent sarcasm expression, which was quite amusing.

"I never expected that you, the mighty flying king of Kanto, would have such a strange hobby, like being expressionless and voice-controlled. It's surprisingly interesting." Kazama Shiramo's words were laced with teasing. Perhaps many people criticize Wataru Watari behind his back, but probably not many would dare to be so cheeky to his face.

"Let me correct you again, I am Dragon King, and please stop spreading these defamatory rumors!" The only thing that's a bit boring is that her reaction is as lukewarm as ever, like a lifeless corpse, or a sexually apathetic wife. When you're frantically fucking her, she doesn't react at all, only giving you monotonous "ahhhhhh" sounds, without even changing her expression, which is really boring.

"Hmm, tell me, what's wrong now? Do you need a firefighter again? You know, you rarely come to me for personal matters unless it's something important."

"This matter is probably a private one," Du thought for a moment. Actually, he was a little unclear about how he viewed this matter. In the end, he didn't know whether it was a private matter or not.

"Oh my god, you came to see me with something personal? You don't happen to have your eye on one of the girls in our company and need me to get her contact information, do you?" Kazama Shiromo chuckled, his words sounding like he was trying to coax Ghost.

Did you know that Cynthia has come to Kanto?

"I know, is this what you call a private matter? It's not really a private matter at all." Kazama Shiromo frowned. Although theoretically Cynthia was his junior and the two had a fairly good relationship in the past, this matter shouldn't have much to do with him.

The two haven't seen each other for eight years due to various reasons. In theory, Cynthia should be received by the Champion when she comes to Kanto, but since the Kanto Champion position has been vacant, this should be done by Wataru.

Wait, could it be...?

Judging by his own experience, Kazama Shiramo thought that this flying-type Elite Four member must think this matter was too troublesome and was planning to push it onto him. Do you think I'm stupid?

"Goodbye, hopeless, just wait to die—farewell!" Kazama Shiramo quickly hung up the communicator.

"What nonsense is this guy talking about?" The expressionless flying-type king showed a somewhat puzzled look.

Sephiroth, who was still eavesdropping, grinned with delight: "Just as I expected. I knew this guy would do this."

"Why? Did I do something to offend him?" If you were to photoshop a meow and a question mark onto Du's confused expression right now, it would definitely be quite...interesting.

“No, that’s not it,” Sephiroth said with a smile of pity and indulgence. “It’s just that someone doesn’t know his place. After all, think about what he’s talking about every time he contacts you. I would hang up too.”

"I don't understand." Red-haired Du remained indifferent; he didn't quite understand where the problem lay.

"Hey, Wataru, imagine you have a really good friend, but he rarely contacts you, and the first thing he does when he does contact you is ask to borrow money." Sephiroth finally stopped eavesdropping and turned to look at Wataru with interest: "What would you do if this friend contacted you again?"

……

……

……

After a long silence and a deep gaze, Du finally couldn't hold back and asked, "When did I owe him money? How come I didn't know?"

Men were speechless and women were in tears. Sephiroth thought that Lance might not only be unable to find a wife: "Just stay and live your life with your Dragonite and Charizard. I think you won't be able to find a boyfriend, let alone a girlfriend."

Watari: Meow meow meow?

"Alright, stop dwelling on this." Sephiroth patted Luffy on the shoulder. "Contact him again in a bit. Don't say anything unnecessary, just say that Cynthia is at your house, and he'll come running back on his own."

----------------------

After hanging up on Watari's inexplicable contact, Kazama Shiramo watched the righteous performance on the field with some boredom.

Finally, it looked quite professional. Arcanine's three consecutive Flame Vortex attacks blocked Magnemite's retreat, and it used its speed advantage to keep closing in on Magnemite.

Although Magnemite skillfully dodges the flame vortex, it is still inevitable that it will get burned.

"Growlithe, Quick Attack!"

A smart choice is to use a seemingly bad option when facing a tiny Magnemite, as ordinary attacks are unlikely to be effective.

"Arcanine, Fire Fang".

The seemingly foolish use of Quick Attack, a move that is basically useless against Steel-type Pokémon, was actually not the biggest effect of Quick Attack on Arcanine. Instead, it created an opportunity for Arcanine to get close to Magnemite and gave Magnemite a brief moment to pause its movement. The real killing move was yet to come.

It's over. Kazama Shiramo nodded in satisfaction, a righteous smile spreading across his face as he watched the Magnemite being put into its Poké Ball.

With this, four of the six main Pokémon have been acquired. If the baby dragon is properly trained to make up for the weakness of Grass-type Pokémon, this kid might just be able to win the championship at this year's Indigo League.

"Teacher, I caught Magnemite!" Zheng Yi ran excitedly towards Kazama Shiramo, like a child who had gotten a perfect score on a test and wanted a reward from his father.

Kazama Shiromo looked at her righteous and adorable little face and was about to pat her head when his communicator rang again.

Damn, it's that crazy flying king again!

P.S. I received some terrible news today. My mom called to tell me that my uncle, who watched me grow up, has nasal cancer. It's unbelievable that a strong man who can eat fish bones and all suddenly ends up in the hospital. Life is truly unpredictable. My uncle is already in West China Hospital, and my mom wants me to go there first thing Friday after school. To make sure I can keep updating, I downloaded a mobile writing app. Although it's incredibly slow, there's no other way but to just keep writing.

P.S. One more thing, I want to remind everyone to really smoke less. Heavy smokers should be careful to moderate their smoking, and those who have never smoked should definitely not follow suit. It may seem like a lot of suffering when you are young, but the harm will become apparent when you get a little older. It really damages your health!

Chapter 50 This Feeling—It Has Arrived

“Cynthia is at your house.”

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

“I said Cynthia is at your house.”

"Explain what you mean clearly."

"Peng!"

What goes around comes around, and no one escapes the judgment of Heaven. Kazama Shiromo suddenly felt that it might have been impolite of him to abruptly hang up on the other party.

Theoretically speaking, I don't need to care, since Cynthia wouldn't let Garchomp demolish my house, right?

Besides, Watari is right there. Even if Rie and Cynthia had some conflicts eight years ago for some reason, it wouldn't be right for them to start arguing in front of outsiders.

Eight years have passed; any grudges should have been resolved by now. Kazama Shiromo felt that the two should be able to reconcile and be as good as before.

"Fine, I'll ask again." After all, even a former Sinnoh champion has to back down; you can't be reckless when you should back down.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" The teacher, who had run over with a righteous air, was disappointed to see the teacher looking distressed instead of receiving praise.

"It's alright, let me contact a certain flying-type Heavenly King." Kazama Shiromo waved his hand, signaling Zheng Yilan to quiet down.

"Watari, explain clearly, what's going on with Cynthia?"

Instead of explaining directly to Kazama Shiramo, Wataru began to state in a calm tone: "Sephiroth, it really is exactly as you said. As expected, he attacked in less than three minutes."

Sephiroth, you son of a bitch, did you hear me?!

Of course, Kazama Shiramo had to maintain an elegant image in front of his disciple, so he didn't choose to curse directly. Instead, he maintained his cool and elegant demeanor and silently sent Sephiroth a warm and sincere greeting in his heart.

"How strange, is there really no occasion where this guy is not in a position to swear? According to his habit, shouldn't he be cursing at this time and then starting his sincere and friendly greeting?" Sephiroth's leisurely voice came, making Kazama Shiramo feel like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and couldn't spit it out.

"Watana, I'm asking you this: why is Cynthia in my house?"
