The message is clear: If you don't sit with Zhu Lan, I'll chop you up!

How could Natsuno refuse to get close to Tsukurana? He immediately went over and patted Shark on the shoulder.

"Comrade Shark, you've worked hard. You've made a great contribution this time. Take a good rest."

He then summoned Little K: "Ahem, I don't have a pilot's license yet, so Bamboo Orchid-chan can sit in the front."

At this moment, Zhu Lan reached out her hand to Xia Ye and said in a coquettish tone, "Well, I'm exhausted, Xiao Ye, carry me upstairs."

Natsuno didn't care about anything else and gave the blonde beauty a big hug. The two quietly felt each other's presence.

After cuddling for a while, the two boarded the small plane and returned home.

Our first stop was, of course, the Three Legendary Birds. When we arrived, there were already quite a few police officers and people cleaning up the mess.

The main purpose is to beautify the burned valleys and replant polyploid tree seedlings after the restoration.

The three birds frequently drew the attention of the police officers, whose eyes were full of surprise and expressions of envy and desire.

Seeing so many people, all with drooling eyes, the three little babies were terrified.

They tried their best to lie flat on the ground with their nearly 3-meter-tall bodies, and even buried their heads in their wings, looking exactly like free-range chickens.

As Natsuno and the other person got closer, they could still hear Z2's disappointed and frustrated feelings.

"You three, hold your heads up! Don't disgrace legendary Pokémon!"

"Besides, these are all police officers, good people, not those few bad guys at Sakaki Base. Calm down!"

The three of them were trembling slightly, and the superpowered people from the Alliance arrived under Sabrina's guidance.

Upon seeing that it was Naz, Natsuno blurted out, "Oh, it's Naz! Haven't seen you for a few days. You've been released?"

Sabrina glared at Natsuno resentfully, but said nothing, directing the other superpowered individuals to treat the three birds.

Seeing this, Zhu Lan glanced at Na Zi and forcefully pulled Xia Ye towards her side.

The two were already holding hands, and with this little gesture, the officers next to them instantly broke into maternal smiles.

Naza had already noticed Zhu Lan's little actions and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Don't worry, Champion Cynthia, I won't be interested in this guy."

"I just wanted to yell at him for making me continue being the dojo master. I didn't want to!"

As she spoke, Sabrina became somewhat exasperated: "Having to deal with so many challengers every day, and having to suppress my strength so often, is really annoying!"

"You might as well go to jail! What kind of ridiculous suggestion is that?!"

Xia Ye shook his head repeatedly: "No, going to jail is not an option. Don't you want to rebuild your Hollywood career?"

"You've been to jail, and you still want to make movies? How can you make movies after being in jail?"

Naz's arrogance immediately subsided by more than half, and she let out a deep sigh.

"Oh, I see. You're actually quite considerate of me, huh? Thank you, you jerk!"

Xia Ye shrugged and walked up to the three birds: 'Little Blue, did you miss me? I missed you even though I was only away from you for a short while!'

Z2 is often teased like this by Natsuno, but this time is different; the three legendary birds are still there.

He immediately retorted in shame and indignation, "You bastard, calling me Lord Order! Who, who would want you?!"

Natsuno shrugged: "Yes, yes, Lord Order."

They then took out three feathers of authority and immediately contacted their respective parents.

The three legendary birds said that the three little birds could go back at any time and thanked Natsuno Ichiban.

The three little birds were overjoyed and couldn't wait to go back, but unfortunately, brainwashing and correction couldn't be done in a short time.

After making the arrangements, Natsuno was about to leave when a little ice bird gently grabbed a corner of his coat.

'Lord Natsuno, please take us with you, I'm so scared here...'

Besides the little ice bird showing its pitiful little eyes, the other two also did the same.

'And without the guardians of order to suppress us, we're afraid we won't be able to stay conscious. Please!'

Seeing the three large birds huddled up like quails, Natsuno couldn't help but laugh out loud and gently shook his head.

“You’re right. Xiao Lan needs to stay by your side to keep her in check. I can’t bear to let Xiao Lan leave my side.”

"Then you can stay with me for now, and leave as soon as you've recovered."

Natsuno reached out to touch the Poké Ball on his person, but found nothing.

At that moment, a hand reached out from the side, holding three luxurious balls.

"Ono, let's use this one. The regular one isn't as comfortable as the deluxe one."

Although Natsuno didn't understand why the blonde beauty would carry three empty luxury balls, he didn't ask.

I picked up a Deluxe Ball, aimed it at Articuno, and pressed it, but after the red light flashed, it didn't put the little Aquinox in.

Natsuno was taken aback and tried again, but the other two were also ineffective.

Cynthia suddenly remembered something: "Gakki's Poké Ball!"

Natsuno immediately understood: "That's right, the three little birds were probably marked by those Poké Balls, they're doomed."

Seeing this, Natsuno could only shrug at the three little birds again: "I can't carry you with me all the time."

At this moment, the little ice bird shook its head: 'Lord Natsuno, I don't want to score that goal. Can I just stay with you like this?'

The other two also pleaded with Natsuno with the same expression. Natsuno sighed and said, "Then you can come along."

At this moment, Z2 floated back onto Natsuno's shoulder and collapsed into a ball.

After everything was arranged, Natsuno originally wanted to continue with Takeran and Koko, but then she saw the three little birds.

After thinking for three seconds, it said, "I've decided on you, Articuno! Give us a ride!"

Thankfully, I had a thick coat underneath, so my bottom didn't feel cold.

Flying back to the alliance headquarters, we found a large group of reporters gathered in front of the building, seemingly for a brief press conference.

A-Du was speaking while wearing a tattered cloak.

"Under our encirclement and suppression, we rescued the three legendary birds from Sakaki, but he was also severely injured."

When asked about the whereabouts of the newly crowned champion, A-Du frowned, unsure how to answer.

At this moment, Natsuno noticed Wataru's condition and quickly used his mental voice to make the Articuno beneath him let out a cry.

This shout instantly drew the attention of all the reporters below.

Similarly, live streaming has become an indispensable step.

[Aaaaaah! Someone's on my back! Who is it?! Three legendary bird Pokémon!]

[Riding an Articuno, followed by Moltres and Zapdos, oh my god, why?!]

As Articuno landed, Natsuno and Takeran landed together, their hands clasped tightly, igniting the entire audience.

[That unremarkable researcher, let go of Zhu Lan, let me have her!]

[You bastard Natsuno, I'll never forgive you!]

Chapter 362 The Allure of Journalism

Zhu Lan's face was slightly flushed, but she held Xia Ye's hand tightly and did not let go.

Before landing, the blonde beauty specifically reminded Natsuno, "Natsuno, make sure you hold my hand tightly later."

The flashbulbs went off non-stop; the champion's gossip was far more captivating than any League criminals.

Natsuno looked at the excited reporters below the stage with a helpless expression.

He took a step forward and pulled Zhulan slightly behind him to block her view: "The flash is too bright, it wouldn't be good if it blinded Zhulan-chan."

Reporters in the audience bombarded him with questions, "Researcher Natsuno, are you dating Champion Cynthia?"

"When did it start? Why did you choose to go public with your secret relationship today?"

Even the three docile and powerful legendary bird Pokémon next to them weren't being photographed, which is quite absurd.

Natsuno shook his head with a helpless expression and took the microphone from A-du's hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not what we are going to discuss today. I will only say a few words."

"First, I was indeed pursuing Zhu Lan before. Second, we are indeed dating now."

"Alright, everyone, please turn your attention back to what Mr. Adu just said."

The reporters in the audience were clearly still eager for more, but they kept quiet.

Natsuno spoke again, pointing to the three birds beside him.

"Everyone, the three legendary bird Pokémon have been rescued from Giovanni."

"After treatment, they will be released back into their free will; this is their wish, and humans have no right to interfere."

The reporters then noticed the three birds again—these were extremely rare bird Pokémon! Time to take pictures!

The flashes of light turned into a wave again, and the three birds seemed slightly uncomfortable, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Only after being comforted by Xia Ye's words of encouragement did she manage to calm down and avoid showing any fear.

Natsuno glanced in the direction of the capital again, a smile playing on his lips.

The captivating moment of journalism begins!

"Someone just asked about the whereabouts of the new champion of Kanto, the Crimson One."

"As one of the people hunting down Giovanni, I can tell you that we rescued Akane on the spot."

"Red is currently on its way to the Johto region to capture Sakaki. Please be patient."

Upon hearing Natsuno's words, Awatari, who was standing nearby, quickly turned his back and pretended to be looking at the three legendary birds.

He prevented the reporters below from capturing his wide-eyed expression.

Wasn't Akane captured by Sakaki? Now her whereabouts are completely unknown.

Natsuno, do you want to hear what you're saying?
