"Ever since Ono and I confessed our feelings to each other, you've tried to distance yourself from him, and you've even talked to me much less."
"Everyone says that feelings are selfish, but I don't want to lose you as my best friend! Ono feels the same way!"
In front of someone close to her, Zhu Lan's emotions finally broke down. She gripped Xiao Ya's shoulders tightly and spoke with a firm tone.
"We have known each other for more than half the time we have lived so far, and this proportion will continue to increase in the future."
"When we were 11, we had known each other for 1 year, which was one-eleventh. Now that we are 24, we have known each other for 14 years, which is seven-twelfths. I just hope that this ratio will continue to increase."
"Wouldn't it be good to be 90% or even more by the time we're 100? Didn't we say when we were little that we'd play together forever?"
Faced with Zhu Lan's resolute words, Xiao Ya fell silent.
Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to say, but she also didn't want to sever her ties with Zhu Lan and Xia Ye.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to Johto with Zhu Lan to help Natsuno after Zhu Lan went to the United States to persuade her.
After a long while, Xiaoya chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, how could that be? I wouldn't want to lose Xiaozhulan either. What are you talking about?"
After Zhu Lan spoke her mind in one breath, her expression calmed down.
"Now I actually hope that Ono fails, that the planet is destroyed tomorrow, that everything is frozen at the most beautiful moment, and that the three of us are together forever."
Hearing Zhu Lan utter such terrifying words in such a calm tone, Cattleya was horrified: "Pah! Pah! Pah!"
"Spit and say it again! How could you say such a thing? Be careful no one else hears you!"
...
"I heard you, I heard you! Ruby has already taken the two orbs to Glass City, and I'm on my way back. I'll be there soon!"
At Natsuno's heartfelt call, the blue plane slowed down, the howling wind gradually subsided, and Natsuno finally heard the message from Daigo's communication.
"Oh right, I also brought the last two helpers I could find, both legendary Pokémon, but unfortunately not the ones from the Lord of Authority."
"When the time comes, I'll give the order, and with the help of the Three Sacred Pillars, we can join forces to beat both sides up, and then things will probably be easier to talk about."
Xia Ye stroked Xiao Lan's head again, each stroke harder than the last, causing Xiao Lan to bare its teeth as if to bite.
Daigo's voice sounded tired on the other end of the phone, but his eyes lit up with joy when he first heard it was a legendary Pokémon.
But after hearing that it wasn't about authority, he began to have some doubts.
"I'm not trying to be rude, but with only Xiaomeng possessing authority, and even that being a passive authority, plus the Three Sacred Pillars and your two legends, do you really think you can beat Gugai up?"
Xia Ye nodded and slowed down the stroking of Xiao Lan, which calmed down again.
"Don't worry, I have a powerful figure here, a veteran from the server's launch, absolutely reliable!"
"Moreover, Groudon and Kyogre have each constructed Authority Energy Barriers around Hoenn, so there aren't many Authority Forces left to deal with."
"I estimate that these two are currently in a passive state, meaning they have unlimited energy when they are on land or in the ocean. I don't think they have many other offensive capabilities."
"At worst, we'll just amplify the power of our Ground and Water-type moves. Three Legendary moves against one, we can definitely hold our own!"
When Daigo tried to say something more, Natsuno shook his head.
"Well, that's how it is anyway. We can't find any more help, understand?"
"We have to keep going, even if we can't. The whole world is counting on us. You can rest for a while longer, and let Mikey take his shift and rest too."
"Once you've rested and are ready, we'll get right to it!"
Daigo looked helpless, but he had nothing else to say, so he could only nod in agreement and then hang up.
The two giants below were still locked in a fierce battle, one punch causing the earth to tremble and the other wing churning up waves.
Daigo gently stroked the ball in his arms, increasingly realizing that his companions were still not strong enough and had no chance against such a legend.
"After this, I need to go into seclusion to cultivate. At the very least, I need to get all my companions to level 90, so they can be on par with these legends."
"After all, the embodiment of the earth and the sea can only fall back into slumber at most. If it comes again next time, at least someone will be able to withstand it."
Natsuno would occasionally tell him about it, and he also had some understanding of power. Power only meant that he was invincible, but it didn't mean that he couldn't be beaten to a draw.
At least Groudon and Kyogre are currently evenly matched. Steven nodded to himself: Good, train hard and become a legend!
On the other side, after the blue plane accelerated back to 100 km/h, Natsuno quickly returned to the territory of Ruri City and boarded the mobile command center again.
The two small planes, being wary of strangers, re-entered stealth mode.
Just then, a boy ran over, his eyes shining as he looked at Xiao Lan.
"What a cool Pokémon! It would definitely win the Coolest category!"
Chapter 464 Ruby's Understanding of Natsuno
Looking at the boy's attire, Natsuno knew without anyone else saying it that the other person was definitely a Ruby, and he even spoke in the style of a Grand Contest.
Xiao Lan gently raised her head, turned to give Xia Ye a look that seemed to say, "Look how discerning she is, you shallow human."
Natsuno shrugged, replying with the same look, without even a thought: 'I didn't say you weren't handsome. I figured the Guardian of Order doesn't need the praise of shallow humans.'
Then, ignoring Xiao Lan's eye roll, Natsuno waved at Ruby: "You must be Ruby. Did you bring the gem?"
Ruby's gaze returned to Natsuno, and she reached out to grasp Natsuno's hand: "Ah, it's Lord Natsuno. I've met you in person."
"Thanks to your research on polyploid berries, the efficiency of using energy blocks to refine various levels of decoration has increased. Thank you very much!"
Natsuno was completely surprised to be thanked for this, and waved his hand.
"The biggest credit for polyploidy actually goes to Dr. Anthony. Just call me Brother Xia Ye. I'm only a few years older than you, so don't be so formal."
Ruby laughed heartily, then his expression turned slightly anxious: "Alright, Natsuno-nii, by the way, when are we going to start calming down the crisis?"
Natsuno didn't know why Ruby was in such a hurry, and shook his head: "We can start once Daigo and the others have rested. It would be better if Daigo and Miketsu could control the three pillars together."
"A few more hours won't make a difference, will it? We need to conserve our energy so we can give it our all, don't you think?"
Ruby nodded helplessly, seemingly lost in thought.
Upon arriving at the command room, two boxes were placed on the central table, guarded by Guild Master Naki.
Upon seeing Natsuno, the other party stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, the item is right here. Wait, I sense a different aura; is it an assistant you invited?"
But then Naki suddenly looked up at the direction of the void behind Natsuno, where the red and blue plane that had been following him was hidden.
Natsuno didn't expect that Mikoli's ex-girlfriend would have such a keen sense of things, so he simply had the little plane appear.
"These two are my helpers, legendary Pokémon, and they happen to be from the Hoenn side."
The little plane waved politely, and its appearance, which had never been seen by anyone else, attracted the attention of Naki and Ruby.
Ruby pulled out a magnifying glass from somewhere and leaned over to examine the blue plane's feathers closely.
"Is it a legendary Pokémon? The luster of its feathers, so crystal clear, is a beauty I've never seen before. If it were made into clothing, it would absolutely amaze the world!"
When Blue Airplane heard Ruby immediately say what would happen if his feathers were made into clothes, he was shocked and quickly hid behind Natsuno.
What's the difference between this and saying you're going to strip someone naked as soon as you meet them? You're a despicable human being!
The red plane was doing the same thing, but neither of them had considered that their bodies were over 2 meters long and they couldn't hide at all.
Natsuno reached out and gently patted the necks of the two people behind him. When he heard Ruby mention feathers, he immediately remembered.
"Oh right, Latias and Latios, could you each give me a feather? I need it for research."
Just one is enough, just one.
Upon hearing that Natsuno only wanted one feather, the two planes exchanged a glance and reached out to pluck two feathers.
Natsuno ran quickly to find a container to preserve the aircraft. The feathers on both planes looked like glass, indicating that the aircraft was cloaked through optical means.
After placing the two glass feathers, Xia Ye loosened his muscles and bones. Xiao Meng ran out of the ball, eager to try.
Xiao Cai and the others had been holding back for a long time, and they all threw their balls, making the room noisy and chaotic.
It's much easier for Pokémon to form friendships than for humans to form friendships directly, since there's no language barrier.
The colorful puppy quietly approached the red and blue airplane and began to whisper and gesture with its hands and feet.
Xiao Cai remembered clearly that Natsuno had said that legendary Pokémon usually have unique moves, and she was now itching to draw them.
Hearing Xiao Cai's request, Blue Airplane gave a strange look: 'Um, the reason it's considered an exclusive move is because even the TuTu Dogs can't learn it through sketching, are you sure?'
Xiao Cai, mimicking Xia Ye's gesture, patted her chest vigorously: "No problem, I'm not just any ordinary Tutu dog, I'm a great painter!"
The two little planes looked at each other, and seeing the unique colorful patterns on Xiao Cai's body, they could tell that Xiao Cai was no ordinary Tutu dog.
He glanced at Natsuno, who was examining the two precious pearls, and decided to give the 'Great Lord's Spokesperson' some face.
On the other side, Natsuno took the magnifying glass from Ruby's hand and began to examine the two gems. Hearing Xiaocai call out, he waved his hand without turning his head.
"Go ahead, just find an open space and sketch only one exclusive skill. Don't sketch too many others. Trying to do too much at once will only lead to confusion and difficulty in combat."
Xiao Cai happily left with the two airplanes. The latter sensed Xia Ye's confidence from his words, which further confirmed that Xiao Cai was no ordinary dog and Xia Ye was no ordinary human.
Natsuno carefully observed the two precious pearls, always keeping a safe distance.
The results of the system scan seemed mysterious, and Natsuno couldn't figure it out.
[A mysterious crimson orb appears to be able to control Groudon. Caution: Those with weak minds will be controlled in the opposite way!]
Natsuno couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head and leave.
At this moment, Ruby was carefully observing Natsuno's companions, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Natsuno-kun, this cell egg is exceptionally strong. Do you also know anything about the Grand Contest?"
Seeing Ruby watching Madoka demonstrate her power, Natsuno was a little confused: "Ah, me? The Grand Contest? I know a little bit about it."
Ruby gave a thumbs up, looked at Natsuno's other companions, and couldn't help but comment.
Little Huan chatters away, sharing her knowledge of the Grand Contest with herself; Little Miao melts hearts with just a gentle flick of her tail; and Little K, with her blue bangs, seems to dislike everyone.
"This Polygon, oh right, it's Polygon Type 2, it can participate in the Smart Group competition."
"As for Meowth, it's the cute group. Although Shiny Staraptor is female, it's definitely a sure thing in the cool group!"
"There was also a very dazzling TuTu dog just now, it could dominate the beauty group!"
"My goodness, I didn't expect that Natsuno-nii is not only so good at research, but also incredibly professional in the Grand Contest. No wonder he's studying polyploid fruits!"
Seeing Ruby looking at him with admiration, Natsuno scratched his head: "Boy, have you got something wrong?"
However, Ruby's status as a Coordinator is not without reason; it at least indicates that his companions are quite outstanding in related areas.
