Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

A man wearing a large blue bird mask stepped out, removed the mask, and revealed himself to be a still quite spry old man: "Legend has it that when the world is about to be destroyed, the great god of the sea will appear and save the world together with the excellent commander who lands on the island."

"The so-called commander is the trainer." The old man stared at Ash with a bewildered look, much like a pyramid scheme operator in a den: "That's right, you are that excellent commander!"

P.S. The visa application process is giving me a headache; it's the first time in my life I've needed to prove I'm my dad's son.

Chapter 81 LPL is awesome

Here we must mention a rather common-sense question.

Are there many Pokémon trainers?

Actually, that's not the case. Although almost everyone in the Pokémon world keeps Pokémon, there aren't actually that many Pokémon trainers in a narrow sense.

In particular, most trainers are actually children, and the number of Pokémon trainers is not that large compared to the total population.

Furthermore, although trainers are very common in towns, not many trainers actually come to the Asia Islands every year because there are no gyms or places for trainers to train. As a result, only Ash and his friends happen to be there during the festival.

Ash stared blankly at the old man in front of him. The scene before him gave him a sense of being appointed, because in his mind there should be a lot of trainers. The way the people on the island looked at him as if he were some kind of treasure made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Please don't be nervous, it's just a celebration ceremony, the usual routine." The old man had a kind smile on his face. In reality, it was just a celebration ceremony held once a year, how could the world really be destroyed or anything like that?

Flora walked up to Ash and asked, "Are you that Pokémon Trainer?"

Flora looked Ash up and down, from all angles, with a gaze that made Ash feel uncomfortable, as if she were choosing a future husband.

"Well, it's alright, whatever." Flora looked Ash up and down for a while, and perhaps thinking that Ash's appearance was acceptable, she moved closer: "The usual, here's a welcome kiss for you."

After saying that, Flora leaned over and gave Ash a light, quick kiss on the cheek.

In an instant, the expressions on the faces of the trio, especially Xiaoxia, became quite interesting. How to describe the feeling?

It's like something that belongs to you. You didn't really care about it at all, but when someone else wants to use it, you feel like your own thing has been taken away.

This is probably how Xia feels right now. She doesn't usually think there's anything special about this hot-blooded idiot, but her feelings changed slightly the moment Flora kissed her.

Xiaoxia was annoyed. Even though she didn't like Ash, that hot-blooded idiot, she still couldn't stand seeing other girls being so close to him. That was probably how Xiaoxia felt right now.

At this moment, Flora also noticed Misty's expression turning sour, and tentatively asked Ash, "Is this your sister?"

"What a devil!" Xiaoxia said arrogantly, her eyes and mouth full of disdain.

"So you're his girlfriend?"

"What a devil!"

"So that's what your relationship is like." Flora said thoughtfully, her expression as if she knew everything made Xia very unhappy.

She gently adjusted her black-rimmed sunglasses, her eyes unusually strange: "It's okay, no need to be embarrassed, I understand. But the fact that you would come to a place like this with a guy really shows... good taste."

"What the heck?" Xiaoxia thought, quite annoyed by that meaningful look in his eyes.

"Honey."

"Ok?"

"Dr. Uchiki is such a beautiful woman."

"kindness."

"She has a great figure too!"

"kindness."

"She's clearly a seasoned researcher, but I never expected her to be such a charming woman."

"kindness."

"That's wonderful. An intellectual woman with such a great figure must be very attractive to men."

"Although I did cheat, could you please stop doubting things that don't even exist?" Of course, Kazama Shiramo would never say such a thing out loud: "Okay."

"So, darling, you originally planned to come alone, didn't you?"

"Theoretically speaking, that's correct."

"You don't have any other thoughts about Dr. Uchiki, do you?" Rie Kugimiya's expression turned strange as she looked at Shiramo Kazama with a forced smile.

"How could that be?" Kazama Shiro waved his hand helplessly, with a somewhat amused and exasperated expression. How could he possibly have a thing with Dr. Uchiki? If Kazama Shiro had come to the Orange Islands alone, he would probably be tied up with Lugia and Kyogre right now, unable to get away. How could he possibly try to flirt with Dr. Uchiki?

"Really?" Rie looked at Kazama Shiro with suspicion, her expression changing several times, but she finally smiled and said, "Of course I don't doubt you, darling, it's just a routine check-up."

Really? I don't think your expression just now sounded like you were joking at all.

"Now that everything's done, darling, let's go on a celebratory vacation!"

Now? Kazama Shiramo gave a strange look. Although it was part of the Orange Islands and not far from the Asian Islands, the weather—no matter what, it wasn't the kind of weather to go sightseeing, was it?

The sky over the Orange Islands is now overcast, and strong winds are blowing at sea, making it difficult for ships to navigate. However, these are no problem for the Desert Dragonfly, and it wouldn't be difficult for Kazama Shiramo to cross over with Rie either.

But the two of them are here on a trip, not rushing, so there's absolutely no need to brave the storm to get to the Asian islands. The festival will last for many days, so there's no need to rush.

'Go, you must go.'

Just as Kazama Shiramo was about to persuade Kugimiya Rie to temporarily give up the idea of ​​going to the festival and see if the weather would be better tomorrow, Lugia's voice rang in her mind.

'Why?'

Kazama Shiramo stopped in his tracks, communicating with Lugia through telepathy in his mind.

'Something's wrong. This is too strange. The weather in the Orange Islands at this time of day shouldn't be like this at all!'

Although Lugia's telepathic communication lacks emotional tone, one can still discern the seriousness of the matter he is referring to.

Lugia is the goddess of the sea, but her connection with the sea is not actually the most direct. Otherwise, Lugia wouldn't be a flying-type with psychic powers. Although Lugia is revered as the guardian of the ocean and the goddess of the sea, if we divide it more precisely, Lugia's true divine status should be that of the goddess of ocean currents.

If the weather in the ocean is beyond Lugia's control, then things might really be getting serious.

It's certain that something might have happened to those three children...

P.S. I was really excited watching today's match. When IG lost and EDG's R-King was on a roll, I was in despair because, at least on paper, RW's strength was definitely not as good as KZ's. I watched the match with a mix of hope and despair.

However, RW didn't disappoint us, stepping up at the last moment to turn the tide. Xinjiang's db successfully added that crucial second, allowing RNG to take control of the game. Although the other two teams performed somewhat disappointingly, their contributions in the group stage were significant. Regardless, this is an LPL victory, a result of everyone's collective effort, so let's not criticize them.

After all, it's clear that IG and EDG really want to win, but unfortunately, two teammates always seem to cause trouble in crucial games. Emmmmm, I feel sorry for some players who can't carry the team.

Chapter 82 is an extra chapter for RW and RNG.

I am Moltres, and I'm panicking!

Yes, that's right, literally.

Fire Island, where Moltres lived, was attacked. The relentless bombardment struck Fire Island, startling Moltres, who was still drawing, and even broke the charcoal pencil in its claw.

Moltres was very angry at first, after all, it was very hard for her to make a charcoal pencil. She had to carefully control the flame and grind it little by little over a long time before she could make one. It was very hard work!

In that instant, Moltres wanted to fly out and give the troublemakers outside a good beating, but then it suddenly realized that this might not be a bad opportunity.

First of all, as a mythical bird that influences the weather worldwide, Moltres is very confident in itself and has no idea that it will be caught. But this may well be a small opportunity, right?

If someone is 'accidentally' captured by humans and taken away, then it wouldn't count as leaving Fire Island voluntarily, right? That's correct, isn't it?

And even if Lugia intercepts you halfway, it's not a big deal. It's not like you left on your own initiative; you were captured. If Lugia comes to rescue you, you can still act cute with Lugia, right?

No matter how you look at it, it seems foolproof, right? If I leave for just a short while, and Zapdos and Articuno are still around, there won't be any major danger. That's right, this is a golden opportunity!

At this moment, Moltres felt as if it were possessed by the goddess of wisdom, radiating an aura of intelligence. Its intelligence completely surpassed Articuno's, making it the true intellectual leader among the three silly birds!

That's right, that's what we've decided to do!

So, the confident Moltres flew out of Fire Island in a 'fuming' manner, glaring 'angrily' at the huge, unidentifiable thing in the sky, and then began a fierce battle with this unknown entity. After two or three rounds of 'intense combat'...

I, Moltres, was captured because I couldn't win!

I'm so happy!!

But...something seems a bit strange. What exactly is this thing binding me? It feels so weird. What is it made of? Why can't I break free?

Wait, this strange feeling? I can't muster any strength, it seems like I really... can't break free...

It must be your imagination! Try again!

One, two, three, heave-ho!

It seems... I really can't break free!

Oh my god, I think I've really been arrested! What should I do?!

Lugia, save me!

With Moltres's panic, the weather of this world... has changed...

——————————————————————————————————————

I am Zapdos, and I am very angry right now!

Yes, that's right, exactly what it means!

Fire Island, Thunder Island, and Ice Island are three islands that are not far apart, so they can actually sense what is happening between the three islands.

So Zapdos knew about Moltres's capture, and naturally sensed something was wrong. After all, as one of the three legendary birds, Zapdos was well aware of Moltres's strength.

So why was this guy caught so easily? What exactly happened?

When Zapdos saw Moltres being caught, it didn't quite understand. The carving under its claws was only half completed. After thinking for a long time, Zapdos finally seemed to have a sudden realization!

After all, the person who understands zz best in this world is zz, whose IQ is on the same level as zz's.

After much thought, Zapdos finally came to the correct conclusion—Moflame did it on purpose!

That's right, how could an attack of that level really knock down Moltres? So that guy was definitely faking it!

But why would Moltres do that? Doesn't it hurt when it gets hit? What good would it do to be captured?

Wait, I'm being arrested—run!

Zapdos seemed to have used up all its intelligence to come to this conclusion: Moltres must have deliberately allowed itself to be captured; its goal must have been to go out and play!

That's right, what a perfect excuse! Since she was kidnapped and didn't run away on her own, Lugia couldn't blame her. All she had to do was find a place to escape after the strange spaceship flew away. There was absolutely nothing to worry about!

Most importantly, although the absence of Moltres will cause some problems with the climate worldwide, Zapdos and Articuno are still on Asia Island. Therefore, although there will be a series of abnormal weather changes, there will not be too many problems in the short term.

During this time, Moltres can sneak out to play!
