Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

'But thanks to this, I never have to lift a finger when I come here, right?'

'Does Master lack confidence in Gardevoir's strength?'

"No, it's just that I feel a bit conflicted every time I come to the Tokiwa Forest Center, it feels like a vacation."

With a cheerful mood, Kazama Shiramo communicated with Gardevoir telepathically. He watched the figure rushing towards him from the horizon. The supersonic speed of the flight caused the air to burst into a tearing sound. In just a few moments, the blurry figure darted to Kazama Shiramo's eyes like a missile.

Its blue-green dragon eyes emitted an eerie divine light, and its slightly open mouth revealed sharp fangs, as if conveying its joy.

Larger than ordinary desert dragonflies, its body seems to radiate boundless power. Unlike common desert dragonflies, its primary color is pure white, not green, with golden stripes replacing the dark green markings. Most striking is its astonishingly large wingspan, almost three times the length of its body. The sound of its flapping wings is like a seductive song; any prey lured by this song is swept into an endless sandstorm, ultimately becoming a defeated army beneath its dragon claws!

Shiny, yes, Kazama Shirasumi's starter Pokémon, Flygon, has always been very different from ordinary individuals—a Shiny Pokémon!

I still remember the first time I met it. Because of its pure white and weak body, it was ostracized by the mandible ant colony. The days we spent together in the desert, when we depended on each other for survival, were different from the nominally initial blue cotton bird that the Alliance later gave me. It was the true initial bird for me.

They don't even need Poké Balls to catch them; their very existence is their greatest bond, an indelible bond.

"I need your help." No greetings or opening remarks are needed; all Kazama Shiramo needs to do is explain his purpose in coming.

"Ow."

"The enemy might be a bit strong."

The desert dragonfly didn't say a word. With a sudden flap of its wings, it made a beautiful turn, leaving Kazama Shiramo with its pure white back.

“That’s true, you can’t possibly lose.” Kazama Shiromo looked at the figure floating in the sky, then suddenly leaped up and rode on the back of the desert dragonfly.

"Let's set off then, let's go to Viridian City and pick a place."

However, a clear phoenix cry came from afar, causing Kazama Shiromo's pupils to shrink sharply as he looked up at the sky!

Whether it's recommendations or monthly tickets, anything is fine, so why don't you guys vote?

P.S. This is the first time I've ever wanted a tip so badly, and the first time I've ever wanted a knife so badly. Shouldn't these two feelings overlapping be double the joy? Why, why is this happening? Why are you guys so skilled at this?

Chapter 12 Ho-Oh Arrives in Viridian Forest

Amidst the fiery red, golden light shone forth, accompanied by the phoenix's long, deep cry.

Pokémon that meet this condition are unique. The approaching figure flaps its long wings, and its huge dark circles under its eyes always make people want to complain.

It can only be her... Phoenix King.

Why would she come to Kanto? Kazama Shiromo was very puzzled. Although there was a saying that Kanto and Chengdu were inseparable and the two regions had a very close relationship, as a mythical beast that was a symbol of Chengdu, leaving its territory would definitely not be without reason.

What is she doing here? Visiting Lugia doesn't seem like the right direction either.

Wait a minute, seeing Phoenix King's figure getting closer and closer, is she... coming for me?

Kazama Shiromo's face twitched involuntarily.

It's not that I have any prejudice against Ho-Oh; Ho-Oh is undoubtedly a very respectable Pokémon.

Compared to Rayquaza, which stays in its own little world and doesn't leave the atmosphere unless it encounters something that might bother it, and Groudon and Kyogre, who fight all the time when they wake up; or the three dragons of the timeline who are always having a three-way battle in their own homes, Ho-Oh and Lugia are definitely positive role models among the legendary Pokémon!

In order to quell the rage of Arceus, which had gone mad, Ho-Oh, as the embodiment of justice, agreed to his request without hesitation. He truly deserves to be loved by all the Pokémon and humans in the Kanto region.

Selfless, benevolent, righteous, dignified, and noble—it seems that all these wonderful adjectives can be applied to Phoenix King.

Just like back then, for the sake of the entire Pokémon world, the selfless Ho-Oh agreed to his request without hesitation, without any personal desires, something even the good-natured Lugia couldn't do.

Just like when Lugia was the second to agree to his request, but then asked him to accompany Lugia, who had transformed into human form, on a month-long trip to the Orange Islands. Although it wasn't a particularly strenuous task, it at least showed that Lugia was a child with his own desires, even if they weren't bad desires, just wanting to play with his friends. That made him even more endearing.

The others who were willing to help him each had their own reasons, but Phoenix was different.

Without any personal desires or demands, Feng Wang seemed to be the embodiment of justice, inspiring Kazama Shiromo to hold her in the highest esteem.

But to be honest.

They're hard to get along with!

Even Lugia, the god of the sea, who is also considered a paragon of virtue among the first-level gods, is so close to Kazama Shiramo that they can share a drink. Lugia has also said many times that he can ride her wherever he goes as long as he treats her.

As for Ho-Oh, although it provided me with a lot of help, I always felt that something was missing.

It's as if she's the Virgin Mary herself, making people feel ashamed when they're around her; it's just impossible to get along with her properly.

Just like now, even though he knew that Ho-Oh couldn't possibly have any ill intentions, and it wasn't that he wasn't strong enough to stand on the same level as Ho-Oh, it was just that when he saw Ho-Oh, he instinctively sat up straight as if a subordinate was seeing a superior, which made Kazama Shiromo unconsciously tense up.

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

Finding Kazama Shiromo was not a difficult task for Ho-Oh.

I once gave him a portion of my sacred flame with an incredibly girlish heart, only to be met with a baffling reply from that fool, Lord Ho-Oh: "I will certainly not let you down."

But it doesn't matter!

Phoenix King secretly cheered himself up, realizing that he was no longer the same person he used to be.

After being taught by Suicune, Ho-Oh has learned how to pursue a human.

This time, I'm going to crush Lugia and make it his favorite Pokémon!

Looking at the humans who were now almost within reach, Ho-Oh revealed a confident smile, although in her true form, it was impossible to tell that she was smiling.

First, the first trick in the strategy guide.

All humans have a desire to be conquered; no human is an exception. Lord Phoenix, remember this. You must display your powerful queenly aura and overwhelming presence so that he will subconsciously acknowledge your existence.

Having firmly remembered Suicune's instructions, Ho-Oh looked at his beloved who was right before him, and transformed into an incomparably beautiful human form. His true phoenix eyes narrowed, and his imposing aura was as sacred and inviolable as that of a medieval pope.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, Phoenix told itself. Now it must fully demonstrate its majesty and queenly aura to leave a deep impression on him again, so that it can easily capture his heart.

Suicune once said, "Lord Ho-Oh, don't be discouraged. In my opinion, the reason why Lord Ho-Oh failed to win over Lord Kazama back then was simply because Lord Kazama was only twelve years old. Humans at twelve are still considered children and don't quite understand the concept of liking someone, nor can they appreciate Lord Ho-Oh's unparalleled charm. That's why even Lord Ho-Oh's charisma couldn't capture him."

"As for Lugia and Lord Kazami's good relationship, it's just children playing around. Ho-Oh doesn't need to care. Friendships built on childish feelings won't amount to anything. Lord Ho-Oh just needs to hold onto your advantage and attack!"

That's right!

I, Ho-Oh, have an overwhelming advantage!

With this confidence, Phoenix King nodded its head, its beautiful face slowly turning towards Kazama Shiromo.

I want a queen! I want a queen! I want a queen! With this belief, Phoenix King, carrying the aura of a first-level god, slowly spoke to his beloved: "Do you still remember me?"

Kazama Shiromo couldn't help but smile wryly. The Flygon beneath him was already used to Ho-Oh's behavior and ignored the oppressive aura. After all, Ho-Oh had never harmed its trainer; it just came with an aura buff.

It's painful. Although I don't really want to cry, and although there's no malice or danger involved, the aura of a first-level god is still there, making my heart race. This is why Kazama Shiramo isn't too willing to be around the Phoenix King—the pressure is immense...

"I have never forgotten Your Majesty Ho-Oh's heroic figure." Kazama Shiromo nodded, not wanting to be disrespectful to this venerable Pokémon.

P.S. The author is starving! I've got a disease where I'll starve if I don't get votes! Please vote! Ho-Oh is so cute, how can you bear not to cast a vote for him?

Chapter 13 We Are Different

Sure enough, he hadn't forgotten himself! His charm was indeed unparalleled. Human lifespan is only a mere hundred or eighty years, and under such circumstances, eight years occupies a full tenth of a human lifespan.

Even after a tenth of his life had passed, he had not forgotten himself; indeed, his charm was unparalleled!

Next, all I have to do is wait for the grown-up Kazama to stubbornly resist me, but then be captivated by my charm and eventually obediently lie down on my bed. Just follow Sui-kun's script, and there won't be any problems!

"Do you know why I came here today?" The Phoenix King secretly gasped. If Xiao Baimo showed even the slightest bit of affection for him, he would drag him home and make love to him!

"What is it..." Kazama Shiromo fell into deep thought. Given Lord Ho-Oh's personality, his visit to him would certainly not be for such a trivial private matter as reminiscing. In other words, Lord Ho-Oh's visit must be because there is a crisis in Kanto that could make Lord Ho-Oh take notice. It must be something extraordinary. The only thing that has happened recently is probably the clone of the dream!

Thinking of this, Kazama Shiro looked at Ho-Oh with confidence: "Lord Ho-Oh, you came for that matter, didn't you!"

Seeing the sudden change in her beloved's expression, and his eyes, as innocent yet resolute as they had been back then, accompanied by a confident smile, she couldn't help but feel shy. Was it that obvious? Had he already guessed that she liked him? It was truly embarrassing: "It seems you've already guessed."

Suppressing the shy urge to dig a hole, Ho-Oh maintained his unparalleled majesty, looking at the adorable person before him with great joy: "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Looking at the admiring look in Feng Wang's eyes, Feng Jian Bai Mo was already 80% certain of his assessment: "This matter can be considered a big deal, but it can also be considered a small one."

Phoenix King nodded inwardly, looking at Kazama Shiromo's unwavering gaze, he was already about 80% certain of the situation. Yes, it was true that his personal matter was a big deal, after all, he was Phoenix King; but in the end, it was just his personal matter of liking a human, which could be considered as disappearing: "Then, in your opinion, how can this matter be properly resolved?"

Kazama Shiro sighed inwardly. As expected of Ho-Oh, when they met, it was all about business and crisis resolution, getting straight to the point. Unlike Lugia, who used to hug him and rub against him for ages before every meeting, and then drag him around to different places. Even if there was something important, he would never mention it before they finished dinner together, claiming that they needed to build a good relationship before they could work together.

Although it seems to make some sense, it still gives people a very strange feeling.

Shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind, Kazama Shiramo realized that it was probably because both of them were legendary Flying-type Pokémon and leaders of bird Pokémon that he couldn't help but compare them.

"In my opinion, there's really no need to worry too much about this." Kazama Shiromo on the dragon's back nodded slightly. "With Your Majesty the Phoenix King and me here, this matter is no longer a major problem."

As long as he and I are together, there won't be any problems with this matter! Upon hearing this, Feng Wang remained calm and composed on the surface, but in reality, her heart was pounding so fast that her breathing became rapid.

As expected! As expected! I knew that with my unparalleled charm, as long as this child realized it, he would have no choice but to fall at my feet!

"Although Mew is said to be the origin of all things, it is actually not good at fighting. Therefore, its actual combat power is not as amazing as imagined. At least it cannot be compared with Lord Ho-Oh. So this incident does not pose a great danger. The only problem is the time and the unknown."

"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense, I think..." Wait, something felt off. Where did Mew come from? "What you mean by Mew is...?"

"Of course, I'm referring to Team Rocket obtaining Mew's genes and creating a copy of Mew. After all, the danger posed by a second-tier legendary fighter is quite significant. Isn't that what you're referring to, Lord Ho-Oh?"

"What I'm talking about... is of course this matter!" Ho-Oh suppressed the urge to cry blood inside, maintained his majestic image, and said righteously, "If it weren't for the sake of the Pokémon and the stability of humans in Kanto, why would I have flown all the way to Kanto?"

"As expected of Her Majesty the Phoenix King!" It wasn't flattery or praise; looking at Her Majesty the Phoenix King, who was surrounded by sacred flames and looked like a queen or a saint, Kazama Shiramo felt genuine admiration.

If we consider all the legendary Pokémon of the same rank as Ho-Oh as emperors, then Ho-Oh can be considered an absolute saintly ruler. Groudon and Kyogre, in comparison, are absolute tyrants. The Sinnoh Dragonflight and other legendary Pokémon are even more so, undoubtedly tyrants. As for Lugia...

emmmmmmm

Lugia is undoubtedly the most approachable and benevolent monarch among all the first-tier gods, but it lacks the authority of a leader, and its subordinates are all traitors, which makes it absolutely incomparable to Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh is an absolutely outstanding leader in every respect. Her kindness and love are like a miracle of the world. Kazama Shiramo feels that he can even obey Ho-Oh's will unconditionally. He firmly believes that this great being who works only for the peace and stability of humans and Pokémon would not act for his own selfish desires.

Even if Lord Ho-Oh were to do something harmful to himself, Kazama Shirabu believed it was for the sake of world peace.

As for his own existence, eight years ago, to save this world, his predecessor sacrificed himself to buy time, which brought about the peace of the world today. From that moment on, Kazama Shiromo had already made his choice. Even if he had to face the same choice as his predecessor, he would never make a different choice.

Perhaps Rie is the only thing he can't let go of, but the two of them had already been honest with each other before the marriage, and Rie promised herself that she would live on strongly.

Therefore, there is nothing to fear anymore. I have inherited the will of my predecessors and have long been prepared to dedicate myself to the future of this world. If it is to save the world, I am prepared to sacrifice myself even if I am dragged out and gang-raped by a group of people without involving others.

Every time he was with Phoenix King, this realization allowed him to look at Phoenix King without wavering, his eyes as clear and resolute as they were back then, making Phoenix King's heart skip a beat!
