Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

As mentioned before, Manchong also decided to embark on a journey to challenge the gym. Lowe naturally blessed him. The two of them separated here and agreed to wait until Manchong got enough badges before having a serious fight with Lowe.

As for Lowe, he and Lilia headed north, heading towards Qiuye Town...

Chapter 130: There is no problem that cats can't solve~

After qualifying for the Super Tournament in Green Shade Town and obtaining the Super Ribbon, Lowe is now ready to head to the fourth gym...

The fourth gym is located in a hot spring town called Kamae Town, at the foot of Chimney Mountain. You can take the cable car up the mountain on Route 112, and then go down the concave and convex mountain road to reach Kamae Town.

"Hmm, that sounds so complicated..."

Liliae saw Lowe take out the navigator and pull up the map. She couldn't help but sigh at the route planned on the map, and Lowe replied with a smile.

"Indeed, because the location of Fuyan Town is quite special, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and there is only one road leading to Chimney Mountain...so the location is quite remote, but fortunately there are special hot springs so it is still quite famous..."

The situation of this small town is quite inspiring. Chimney Mountain itself is an active volcano, but it is currently in a dormant period. Naturally, there are a large number of powerful fire-attribute Pokémon living within the range of the volcano.

Because of the town's awkward geographical location and the difficulty in being developed, the residents have always had a very difficult life in the past. Many young people in the town were unwilling to stay in the town and chose to leave, so that almost all the people left in the town are elderly.

After several generations, the entire town is already in danger... It may disappear at any time...

In such a difficult environment, a young man from Fuyan Town was determined to transform his hometown and make it a better place.

Due to its geographical location, there are indeed not many income-generating projects that can be developed in Fuyan Town. However, because it is located at the foot of a volcano, there are very high-quality hot spring resources that can be utilized. Therefore, the young man decided to use this as the core selling point and develop Fuyan Town into a hot spring tourist town.

The first problem is to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation between Fuyan Town and the outside world, otherwise it is impossible for tourists to be willing to come...

He went deep into the Concave and Concave Mountain Road and Chimney Mountain several times to explore the terrain and find a way to open up a road. In the process, he also had many contacts with the fire Pokémon living in the Chimney Mountain...

If you want to open up roads on a large scale, you will have to change the terrain of Chimney Mountain. Doing so will inevitably affect the ecology of Pokémon in Chimney Mountain.

This made the young man very distressed for a time. He loved Pokémon very much, but at that time he lacked funds and influence. If he wanted to develop Fuyan Town, he had to rely almost entirely on the power of Pokémon.

Under such circumstances, it is natural that he would not do such a thing as abandoning the donkey after it has done its work. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, the young man finally thought of a way to open up the road to the greatest extent possible without destroying the mountain structure and natural environment.

...That is the large mountain cable car on Chimney Mountain right now!

Of course, this is a very large project, and it is impossible for him to complete it alone.

So, he actively started his activities. His many years of activities in dangerous places like Chimney Mountain and his constant interactions with Pokémon made him an excellent trainer. Relying on his strength and talent, he tried to get assistance through the alliance.

He succeeded, and his talent and hard work impressed the alliance, which came forward to cooperate with him to start the construction plan of the Chimney Mountain Cable Car.

The young man devoted most of his life to this plan, and from a young man he grew into a middle-aged man, and from a middle-aged man he became an old man.

The cable car was built and the hot springs in Fuyan Town were developed. This small town, which was once deserted, finally began to come back to life.

At the same time, this young man was also appreciated by the alliance...

...He was the first gym leader of the Kamuga Town Gym, and he gave this originally remote village a place in the Pokémon League in the Hoenn region.

...He is one of the four heavenly kings of the previous generation of the Hoenn region. Apart from the champion, he is a powerful trainer who stands in the first tier of strength in the Hoenn region!

This is the story of Kamahena Town, and the current gym leader of Kamahena Town is the granddaughter of this old man, and the new gym leader who has just taken office. Although it may be a bit rude to say this, she is indeed the one with the weakest hard power among the eight gym leaders in the Hoenn region in theory.

Compared to the new gym leader Qianli, who had just taken office, his strength was like heaven and earth...

But again, there will always be a first and a last person in any organization. Being able to become a gym leader already means you are in the first tier of combat power in the Hoenn region. Even if you are the last among the gym leaders, that is only compared to the other seven gym leaders.

If compared with ordinary trainers, she is already a very powerful and excellent trainer...

In short, while heading towards the mountain cable car, Lowe explained the story of Fuyan Town to Liliae. It was indeed a very inspiring story, and Liliae was very impressed.

“…I always feel like everyone here is really amazing!”

Whether it is old man Tiexuan who developed Zijin City, or the former superstar who dedicated most of his life to his hometown just to revitalize his precarious hometown.

They are all very admirable people, both for their abilities as Pokémon trainers and their personal conduct.

This made Liliae think of herself and her mother.

Her mother should have been a similarly admirable person, even more powerful in some senses. After all, the scale of the Ether Foundation was already a large international enterprise spanning multiple regions.

but……

...She got a headache when she thought of the chaos caused by her mother. It would be a blessing for the whole world if capable people put their all into doing good things. However, if the original intention was bad, the greater the ability, the more trouble there would be.

Just like Team Rocket's boss Sakaki, no one doubts this man's ability, but to be honest, if his ability was a little worse, it wouldn't be such a headache.

It is because this man's abilities are so powerful that Team Rocket has become the number one villain in the entire Pokémon world.

Liliae doesn't think she has the same ability as her mother, so... what can she do? How can she stop her mother from making mistakes?

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Lowe turned around to look at Gardevoir behind him.

Gardevoir nodded to Lowe. Through telepathy, she could also feel the confusion in Liliae's heart, and could share these emotions with Lowe.

Of course, reading minds directly is a very rude act after all, so Gardevoir simply told Lowe about Liliae's confused emotions.

For the time being, Lowe didn't plan to say much about this. Some things she had to figure out on her own. Lowe could provide the necessary material help, but he was not very good at emotional value.

After all, it is not easy for Lowe to teach his own method of relieving emotions to others.

Thinking of this, Lowe pulled the Fairy Eevee who was dozing on his head down, then buried his head in the soft belly and took two deep breaths...

...Hey, if there is a problem that can't be solved by one puff of cat, then take two puffs!

Chapter 131 This Road is Impassable

If there's a problem that can't be solved by sucking one cat, suck it twice!

Fairy Eevee, who was originally sleeping soundly, was suddenly pulled down by Lowe and took two deep breaths. Although she was a little confused at first, she soon smiled, stretched out the ribbon and wrapped it around Lowe's wrist twice. After fixing her body in mid-air, she came up and rubbed her head gently on Lowe's neck.

"Haha, it's quite itchy~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lowe felt a weight on his back. He didn't even need to look back, because the familiar furry touch had already revealed his identity.

"Uh, Masked-nyan?"

Although Lowe did not neglect the daily routine of combing the Masked Cat's hair, perhaps because the frequency of close contact with other people increased, the Masked Cat felt left out.

And Lukia seemed to know the situation clearly, but she jumped out to add fuel to the fire, which made Kamen Cat feel a sense of crisis.

Especially now that she and Gardevoir have both evolved and their forms have gone beyond the scope of "pet" size, but Eevee is cheating.

Although it has evolved, its size has hardly changed, and it is still the same size that can be easily grabbed.

This caused Lowe to feel a bit of a jerk in his hands. When he wanted to jerk off something to relieve stress, his first reaction was definitely to jerk off Ibrahimovic. There was no other way, because this size and feel was simply meant to be held in the arms and sucked...

Can anyone resist a kitten you can suck at will?

...No! No! Person!

The fur of Fairy Eevee is so shiny and smooth after being groomed by Lowe that it is visibly shiny. Even though Catman uses up a whole bottle of conditioner by Lowe every week, his fur is still so attractive that people can't help but want to touch it.

But in most cases, Lowe would only allow the Masked Cat to come up and rub against him when he stopped to rest. When he was walking on the road, it would be a bit of a challenge for Lowe to hold the cat and rub against it.

People obviously have two hands, but now they are both used to pet Sylveon. How can Kamen Meow not be angry!

So, what Masked Cat does now is to jump up from time to time and let Lowe carry her for a while. Fortunately, although she has the body of a girl, her weight is at the standard loli level.

Therefore, Lowe could easily carry her on his back and walk quickly, but this magical way of getting along made Liliae quite amused.

Once I laughed, the worries I had just had were alleviated a lot.

The atmosphere here eased a little. In front of them was the cable car entrance station leading to Chimney Mountain. Just as Lowe was about to go up to buy a ticket to go up the mountain, he saw a row of roadblocks blocking the entrance with a sign that read "Construction ahead, no entry."

"What's going on? Is there an accident here?"

Seeing this, Lowe stepped forward to ask, and Miss Junsha, who was guarding the intersection, immediately replied politely, "Yes, there is a problem with the mountain cable car at Chimney Mountain. It is currently under repair. It cannot be used until the repair is completed. Please pay attention to the official website for the specific progress..."

After all, we live in a modern Internet society, so this aspect is quite convenient. Fuyan Town also has its own official website to introduce the town’s various specialties and anecdotes.

Lowe took out the navigator and logged in. As expected, the official website clearly stated that the cable car was temporarily unavailable due to a sudden malfunction, and Fuyan Town had already arranged personnel to repair it, and it was expected to be repaired within a week.

"…So, does that mean we can't go up the mountain now?"

In response, Miss Junsha answered with an embarrassed look, "It's not that there is no way up the mountain, but if you are not a trainer, I don't recommend taking that road..."

"……I see"

The road that Miss Junsha mentioned was naturally the road connecting Fuyan Town with the outside world before the mountain cable car in Fuyan Town was built.

However, that road is more like a "beast path" trampled out by humans and Pokémon in the mountains than a road. Because it goes directly through the mountains, contact with wild Pokémon is inevitable.

Therefore, if you are not a trainer, it is not recommended to take this path.

Moreover, since the construction of the mountain cable car was completed, this road has become sparsely populated. It is not a specially built road, and the unmaintained animal path has naturally become more and more deserted. It has now become quite unsuitable for ordinary people to walk on.

However, every year there are some mountaineering enthusiasts who come to challenge Chimney Mountain...

However, those mountaineers who are fully equipped and have Pokémon partners are naturally not comparable to ordinary people. As for Lowe, it should not be a big problem to take this route.

After all, in terms of strength, Lowe is definitely not afraid of wild Pokémon. If Lowe was alone, he would definitely go up.

But after all, he had Liliae, the young lady, by his side. Although she had been acting alone for a while, she was a pampered young lady not long ago and did not have much similar experience.

"What to do, Lowe?"

Liliae sought Lowe's advice, and Lowe had actually already planned to change the route, but before he was ready to answer, his navigator suddenly rang.

"..."

The name noted on the screen is quite amazing...

...Dawu

"...Mr. Daigo?"

Luo Wei immediately connected to the navigator, and a familiar voice came from the other end, "Luo Wei? Where are you now?"

"Well, I'm going to Fuyan Town to challenge the Flame Gym, but the mountain cable car at Chimney Mountain is broken. I'm at the intersection now, considering whether to take the mountain trail..."

"I see. That's perfect. If it's not urgent, could you ask Lowe to take a detour and go to Qiuye Town first?"

"It's not that urgent, so, is there any problem in Qiuye Town?"

"The Alliance has captured the Marine Team leader before, and the interrogation results are out. It is confirmed that the next target of the Marine Team is the Meteor Falls near Qiuye Town. So if possible, I hope to ask Lowe to go and take a look..."
