Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

"What the hell do you mean? What do you mean Lugia exploded?"

Du sighed and rubbed his red fur, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Your Lugia has gone berserk!"

P.S. Second update. I can't take it anymore. I stayed up all night playing League of Legends to celebrate last night, and I just can't do it today.

Chapter 43 Wait for me, Lugia

Women always have a little temper; this is an unchanging trait, from 8-year-old girls to 80-year-old grandmothers, there are no exceptions.

Even children who usually appear stern and well-behaved have their own little thoughts and feelings.

After crying, Linran actually figured out that the matter was somewhat strange, but adhering to the principle that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, the righteous Linran decided to make a fuss.

And then... no more.

While still inside, pondering when to go out and forgive that poor teacher, Linran suddenly realized...

There was no sound outside the room.

Peeking furtively through the peephole...nobody...

Undeterred, Linran secretly observed from different angles again... still no one...

I flung open the door and peeked around... There was really no one there...

A thousand creator gods roared through my righteous mind: My God, there are only a few people left in such a short time!

Teachers these days have no patience for students; they don't even know how to coax them a little!

Just as Zheng Yilan was still struggling with his decision, Kazama Shiromo had already walked out of the hotel. Without saying a word, the Desert Dragonfly's dragon wings flapped wildly, and it headed towards Dragon Island.

On the dragon's back, Bichi made the decision that would save his future life: he activated the communicator.

Despair was creeping into his heart, but Zheng Yi bravely accepted the call, like a drowning person desperately grasping at a last straw.

"Hey, Linran!"

"Teacher, where are you?" Zheng Yilinran could hear the howling wind coming from the other end of the communicator. Clearly, her teacher was soaring high in the sky, which was why Zheng Yilinran was becoming increasingly annoyed.

She thought her teacher had just gone back to his room, but she didn't expect that he had already left.

"I'm sorry, Linran."

"That's strange, why is the teacher apologizing?"

"Well, for various reasons, anyway, I'm really sorry, Rinran."

Righteous and resolute, he clenched his fists, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Why was this man apologizing to him? What exactly did he do wrong to deserve an apology? Didn't he know that there was something wrong with apologizing?

Sensing that Linran's emotions seemed to have stabilized somewhat, and that he was at least able to speak and communicate properly, she said, "Well, Linran, listen to me."

"Okay, teacher, please go ahead."

Fortunately, this time she didn't say Squirtle was chanting, at least she could communicate.

"I'm sorry, Linran. First of all, I need to explain that I really have nothing to do with Qi You. What you saw this morning was just an accident. I don't know how to explain it to you. Qi You suddenly came up to me. I didn't use mind reading on her, but I could sense that she had other intentions for being so close to me. And we really didn't dream about anything, it was just..."

"Don't explain, teacher, I know that men are all bad!"

Kazama Shiramo had a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat and couldn't spit it out: "What does this little brat know about men? Give me some proper guidance."

"Anyway, the teacher just brushes me off."

"I really have no relationship with Qi You."

"The teacher is a womanizer."

Kazama Shiromo was somewhat amused and exasperated. He could tell that Rinran didn't seem angry anymore, but she was still being sarcastic.

"You can ask Qi You yourself. I really have nothing to do with her. Your teacher is already married!"

Zheng Yilin pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "Hmph, whether the teacher and Qi You have a good relationship or not has nothing to do with me."

"I know you care about Qi You, go and have a good talk with her yourself."

"Who..." (Who cares about that idiot?) "I know." (I'm going to tear that idiot to shreds later.)

"Hmm." As expected, Linran is still a good kid. Kazama Shiromo thought to himself, "Linran, then you should have a good talk with Qi You. Let's talk about tomorrow's finals now."

"Yes, is there anything I should be careful about?"

"Well." Kazama Shiramo, still on the dragon's back, stroked his chin and pondered, "You can take a look. After so many battles, Lingxi's Hydreigon is actually all bark and no bite. If you're shameless enough, just send out a Poliwrath to finish it off. You should be able to easily take down Hydreigon."

"When facing the city-guarding dragon, remember... remember that?"

"I understand, teacher." Although she was still annoyed and wanted to throw a little tantrum, Rinran knew that she should listen carefully now and kept Kazama Shiromo's words firmly in mind.

Rinran is quite well-behaved, and Kazama Shiromo is very satisfied with that thought. As far as Lingxi is concerned, her strength definitely surpasses all the other participants in this arena. She is a complete monster-level trainer.

But precisely because of this, she was too arrogant.

That's right, Lingxi, who looks like a masochistic pervert, is actually very proud. As the little princess of the Yulong family and a genius Pokémon trainer, she certainly has the right to be so arrogant.

Because she firmly believes she can win no matter what opponent she faces, that's why she dares to be so reckless.

Even when facing Qiong, whose attributes completely counter her, she can openly lay out all her tactics and charge straight at anyone.

However, it was precisely because of this that she was too confident, which led to this flaw. This was also Linran's chance to defeat Lingxi. However, even if she could defeat the other five Pokémon in Lingxi's team, as long as she couldn't defeat the Elite Four-level Dragonair, then winning the championship would be a pipe dream.

The solution to all problems ultimately depends on one missing piece of the puzzle—Charizard's Mega Evolution!

"In the end, it's up to Rinran herself to handle things," Kazama Shiromo sighed. In fact, he really wanted to stay and watch Rinran's match, hoping to be there for her whether she won or lost.

But that's obviously impossible.

Lugia is in trouble. Kazama Shiromo stared at the dark night sky ahead, biting his lip. He had a vague premonition of something. The song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" that night seemed to have made him understand something, but it was precisely because of this that he felt uneasy.

Fear and worry mingled in Kazama Shiromo's heart. He hadn't felt this way in a long time. Having seen all sorts of storms, it was naturally difficult for him to have such strong emotions. But the matter involved Lugia, which was a huge problem.

Kazama Shiramo was filled with doubt. Was the flute music outside the hotel that night really Lugia's curse? If so, did it mean...?

"Wait for me, Lugia!"

The second update will be coming soon.

P.S. To explain why I haven't posted any pictures lately, things are a bit tense, gotta go.

Chapter 44 I Want Them All

"Kneel down!" A righteous and heroic voice echoed in the room.

"I was wrong!" At the same time, Qi You's pitiful voice also came.

"Kneel down before you speak!"

"Waaaaah, Linran, how could you do this to me!"

Although she said it, Qi You still knelt obediently by the bed.

"Explain yourself properly, or you'll be sleeping on the floor tonight and don't even think about getting into my bed!"

"Linran, you have to believe me, I'm innocent!"

"You sat on the teacher's lap, how can I possibly believe you!"

"Things really aren't what you think! I'm innocent!" Kneeling on the ground, looking pitiful, Qi You looked at Lin Ran with her big, tearful eyes. She remembered that when they were little, no matter what fun things Lin Ran had, as long as she made this expression, she could trick him into giving her the things.

Here she comes again, with that familiar expression. Looking at Qi You's pitiful face, Lin Ran remembered how Qi You used to trick him out of his favorite toys when they were little. Is she planning to trick her teacher away from him now? Oh, that damn bitch!

"Not like this? Then what is it like? Tell me, Qi You!" Lin Ran's tone turned dangerous, and she even began to consider whether she should just kill this traitor if she said something wrong later!

Completely unaware that her life was in danger, Qi You, perhaps instinctively, clung tightly to Lin Ran's pale legs: "I really have nothing to do with that man, Lin Ran, you have to believe me! It was just a fling, I have absolutely no interest in that guy!"

"So how did you end up sitting on the teacher's lap? Was it because gravity pulled you there?"

"That man forced me!" Qi You thought she had found a chance to flourish, so she sold Kazama Shiromo without hesitation and started lying without any preparation: "That man is really lecherous. He saw that I was dressed a little nicer and shamelessly pulled me onto his lap. I tried my best to struggle, but I was too weak to break free!"

The corner of her righteous mouth twitched. How could anyone believe such a thing? Did you think I was Lee Sin or Mundo? Did you have no idea whether you were doing this willingly or not?

And you, a woman who never takes care of herself, usually so sloppy with hair like a bird's nest, and with a dark, ghostly aura, are actually dressed up so lively and cute today. Do you dare say you don't have a Gengar inside you?

Qi You, who had absolutely no sense of right or wrong, continued to spread rumors: "Let me tell you, Lin Ran, that teacher is a real lecher. He tried to take advantage of me because I looked cute that day. He was so dishonest, it was really too much!"

Ling Ran's lips twitched. "I've known the teacher for so long, and he's never laid a hand on me. Why should he do all those enviable things to you? Does he really think that having big breasts means he can do whatever he wants? He must be out of his mind!"

"is it?"

"Yes, yes!" Qi You saw Lin Ran hesitate for a moment, nodded frantically, and even took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around Lin Ran's slender waist, rubbing his face against Lin Ran's lower abdomen: "Lin Ran, you have to believe me, I love you!"

……

"Did I disturb you...?" Because Rinran opened the door without closing it, Kensha Sakura walked in and saw a scene that left her speechless.

The foolish woman who had been defeated by him in the Quartz Conference was kneeling in front of Linran, her arms wrapped around his waist, like a weak male lead in a romance drama apologizing to his wife. For a moment, Kensha Sakura, who also had some special feelings, even had the illusion that she had been cheated on.

She really wanted to kick that ugly purple-haired woman kneeling on the ground and then go after the righteous one herself, but reason told Inuyasha Sakura that doing so would be very unwise.

Sure enough, Lin Ran punched Qi You on the head, then grabbed Qi You's face with her hand and dragged her aside with great disgust: "Don't misunderstand, Xiao Ying, I'm innocent, I'm straight, I only like boys!"

"Uh..." Inuya Sakura didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she quickly resorted to the friend tactic taught by her teacher: "It's okay, Rinran, whether you like boys or girls, I'll always be your good friend!"

"Waaaaah, Sakura, you're so kind!"

Lin Ran stepped forward, moved, and grabbed Inuyasha Sakura's hands, even though she didn't know that her best friend also had designs on her.

"Sakura is really reliable, unlike that unreliable person who is full of filthy thoughts and always trying to spread rumors about others!"

"No, I didn't! I didn't!" Qi You denied frantically. In that instant, she suddenly realized that she might have made a fatal mistake. If Lin Ran didn't believe her...

"Still denying it!" Lin Ran glared fiercely at Qi You! "What kind of person do you take the teacher for? You were the one who wanted to play a prank on the teacher, and you even slandered the teacher as a hungry ghost. Think before you lie!"

"He's such a lecherous old man! He was sleeping with two young girls in a hotel yesterday!"

Linran rolled his eyes with utter disdain. Sleep with a girl? Two of them at once? Are you underestimating my righteous and awe-inspiring intelligence?

"Sakura, let's take a bath and go to bed! Don't pay any attention to this liar."

"Hmm." Inuya Sakura nodded, her long green hair bobbing up and down, but she secretly kept the information Qi You provided in mind, planning to go back and tattle to Erika, telling her master that her lover might have slept with her the day before yesterday and then had sex with another girl in a hotel the next day!

Qi You remained kneeling before the bed, like a defeated Japanese samurai, refusing to yield: "Just wait, I will definitely find evidence to prove it!" Qi You's eyes flashed with anger and determination. She knew where the key to breaking this deadlock lay: the man who was the source of everything. If she could prove it, her seemingly hopeless situation could be turned around!

What Qi You was thinking at this moment was beyond the righteous and awe-inspiring knowledge of anyone. She only knew that she had a competition tomorrow and needed to rest well today. She had put in a lot of effort for this day, and her teacher had also put in a lot of effort. Whether it was the Magnemite or the trip to the Dragon's Lair, it was all thanks to her teacher's help. Even if it was just to live up to her teacher's expectations, she still wanted to win this competition!
