She had almost forgotten what happened that day, and apart from that, she and the other person had no other interaction.

Hua Ling once again felt the urge to tease him. When the other person moved the menu down a little, pretending not to care but actually stealing glances in her direction.

She raised her hands to make a heart shape, and at the same time winked at Lillie over there.

"...?!"

Lillie over there visibly tensed up, immediately lowering her head and no longer daring to look.

"Hehe...so cute~"

Hua Ling felt even happier, and at that moment she sensed a gaze from beside her that was similar to the one Lillie had given her earlier.

The clattering of bowls and spoons had stopped, and Alice, who had stopped eating at some point, was looking at her with a resentful expression, a grain of rice still clinging to her lips.

"...Hey, Miss Hua Ling...what were you doing just now? And who were you gesturing to? May I know?"

A faint voice drifted over, and for some reason, Hua Ling felt a deep chill.

"I...I...I saw someone I know...I want to...say hello."

Hua Ling's voice stammered; this was the first time she had ever lost her composure like this.

Even though Alice was pitifully weak, she felt a moment of suffocation and was puzzled by her strange behavior.

"Hey~~ Say hi~~"

Alice's tone rose and fell, with a long trailing tone, as she glanced around.

She didn't notice anything different, but she just felt inexplicably unhappy.

When I asked that question, my voice involuntarily carried a hint of accusation, and I regretted it as soon as I said it.

Fortunately, Hua Ling cooperated with her, and her stuttering gave her a strange sense of satisfaction, which boosted her confidence.

"Hmph! You clearly made plans to have dinner with me! Now you're not allowed to think about anything else!"

Alice picked up a clean fork from the side, then forked a piece of meat and handed it over.

"Now! Behave yourself! Eat with me! Open your mouth! Ah~~"

"Uh, um... ahhhhh"

Hua Ling obediently did as she was told and bit into the food that the other person handed her.

She was enjoying the delicious food... but she always felt like she had completely lost somewhere.

But I haven't participated in any competitions, nor have I been planning anything recently...

"Chew... Hmm, is it just my imagination? Chew, chew..."

Hua Ling felt a little confused, but seeing the satisfied smile on Alice's face, she didn't care.

"Never mind... let's leave it at that."

P.S.: Hello, please vote for me.

Volume 1: Chapter 197 Become the Champion!

Lillie snapped out of her panic at being caught spying on someone and watched as the two people in front of her made up.

There was also the feeding play trick, which made me feel a bit down.

"What the heck... One second he was making a heart shape with his hands, and now he's ignoring me."

It wasn't that she cared that much about the other person, but the difference was indeed quite large, especially for a sensitive girl like her.

And soon Rosamune returned.

"Sorry, Lillie~ The desserts at this shop are made to order~"

So it took a little time~ But this is just right~ Come and try it~ It's a pity Gladio wasn't here~ Hmm...

Lusamine was holding two desserts when she noticed her daughter staring absentmindedly at something.

She followed the other person's gaze and saw two people sitting at a table not far away.

"Oh, it's Hua Ling from the Rainbow Foundation. And who's that child next to her?"

Oh dear~ Is little Lillie so concerned about that child's whereabouts? Could it be that she wants to be friends with him?

It's quite a coincidence, though, to see them both here!

"Hmm... I guess so..."

"...Huh? She didn't argue with Mom? No way?! Could it be true?!"

Dinner time ended

The two walked side by side along the coast of Manjin City, looking at the sea view, while in the shadows of the city, some people had already begun to take action.

"Hey~ Hua Ling~ Do you still remember the goal we talked about~"

Alice, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke.

"My goal... I still remember it, to become your rival, and then to become one of the Elite Four in the Unova region... But I think I can't do it anymore..."

At this point, Hua Ling stopped what she was doing and looked at the girl in front of her with hesitation on her face.

"...I didn't know beforehand that my father was going to establish the Rainbow Foundation, nor did I know that we were going to move to the Kanto region."

Back then, I dreamed of becoming one of the Unova Elite Four, a pillar of the Rainbow Foundation, but now I'm afraid that's no longer possible.

"That's true~"

Alice turned to face the sea, and the moonlight shone on them, leaving their shadows on the ground.

Hua Ling lowered her head and remained silent. Even when it didn't involve the Rockets or her father, she still cared a little about not being able to keep promises made by others.

"So let's try a different approach!!"

Alice's voice suddenly rose, and Hua Ling had just looked up when she saw Alice leaning over and grabbing her hand.

"Why do we have to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Unova region?! We already possess such power!!"

With the Rainbow Foundation behind you, becoming the champion of the Kanto region is the path that suits you best!!

At this point, Alice seemed to have thought of something, her eyes suddenly sparkling, and she gripped Hua Ling's hand even tighter.

"By the way! Hua Ling, your hometown is Chuiya Town in the United States!"

My hometown is the land of dragons in the Kanto region! Since our goal is to become rivals, how about this?

"Huh? What?"

Alice's increasingly enthusiastic attitude piqued Hua Ling's interest as well.

“Hehe~!”

Alice let go of Hua Ling's hand and ran a few steps to the front, then turned to face Hua Ling.

"My goal is to become the Unova champion! My dream is to become a Dragon-type Pokémon Master!"

And my formidable rival! How could it possibly be the Pokémon Elite Four?!

The girl's face radiated confidence as she reached out her hand to Hua Ling.

"So! Let me become the champion of your hometown, the United States region, Hua Ling!"

And Hua Ling, you became the champion of my hometown, Kanto region!

This current championship title gives me a really unreliable feeling. If Hua Ling, you become the league champion, everything will be better!

Become the champion...

The Padmati once said that his father had asked him if he had any such intentions, and now even Alice is saying the same thing.

"A championship... I'll try my best to achieve that..."

"Mmm~! I'll try my best too!"

Alice clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

"Once I finish my training at the Inkstone Gym, I'm going to travel the world and challenge top Dragon-type Pokémon users!"

Whether it's Mr. Shaka from the Unova region or Mr. Genji from the Hoenn region!

And Mr. Chibana from the Galar region! They'll both be people I want to challenge!!

And this world! It won't be long before it welcomes two female champions who are skilled at using Dragon Pokémon!

Let's compete against each other then! Let's see who can become the true Dragon-type Pokémon Master!

Alice was speaking enthusiastically ahead, but Hua Ling caught a few key words in her words.

"Around the world," "traveling," "Union Champions," "not long ago"

"..."

Hua Ling clutched her collar tightly with her hand on her chest, wanting to say something several times, but seeing the hope in the other person's eyes, she sighed.

That's true... How can a qualified Pokémon Trainer stay in one region forever?

"Um... I'm not a trainer who specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon."

Hua Ling raised her hand and reminded the girl in front of her with a smile.

"Eh~ Really?"

Alice looked over suspiciously, her eyes full of scrutiny.

"Hua Ling, all the legendary Pokémon you own are Dragon-type, including Salamence and Garchomp! You'll get a beating if you're lying!"

"Hmm~ My starter Pokémon is Beedrill~ My main Pokémon is Charizard~ Neither of these two Pokémon are Dragon-type~"

"Oh, is that all?"

Alice waved her hand dismissively and said.

"You're alright! Compared to the champion of the Dragon Clan..."

Despite having the title of "Messenger of Dragons," Mr. Lance doesn't use any Dragon-type Pokémon other than Dragonite.

Conversely, all Pokémon have the Flying type... well, I don't know if that's just a personal preference or what...

"Eh... Mr. Lance, the former champion who used Dragonite?"

Oh, I didn't know he had this hobby. I understand... I'll try my best then.

"Hehe~ Okay, let's go back to the hotel~"

Two rooms could have been booked.

However, despite Alice's insistence, only one twin room was booked.

After showering, they dried each other's hair. Hua Ling sat on her bed, covered herself with the blanket, and looked at her phone for the latest messages.

While she was browsing a website, she heard a strange noise around her.

Looking back

Alice, wearing her pajamas, climbed onto her bed and leaned against me.

"Hehe~ You're always the one leaning on me~ Let me lean on you for a bit today~"

"Mmm...uh~"

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so Hua Ling thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

"Hey hey~"

P.S.: Hello, please vote for me.

Volume 1: Chapter 198 The Ring Usurpation

The next day

Hua Ling received a message from the Rainbow Foundation.

【Young lady, the shedding-shell ninja you requested has been found. Please proceed to our branch base in Goldenrod City to pick it up.】

"Shedding skin ninja... its special ability is magical protection, I wonder if this power can be used."

Hua Ling looked at the ring on her hand and muttered to herself. Although she had learned some skills and how to deal with Pokémon.
