Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

"That's right. The Tower of Paradise is where deceased Pokémon rest in peace, and the bell at the top of the tower was specially placed there to purify their souls. It is said that ringing the bell at the top of the tower can reflect a person's inner fluctuations. Therefore, it is regarded by the local residents as a symbol of protection for Fukiyori City. Every year, lovers will climb the tower and ring the bell."

Her clear, cool voice was like a long song, accompanied by a gentle breeze that perfectly stirred the ancient bell on the tower. But at this moment, the blonde girl only focused her attention on the words "lover" from before. Only when Nan Yin walked ahead as usual did she hurry to catch up, her eyes filled with contemplation.

The flight wasn't crowded, and with the flight attendants' orderly guidance, they soon walked down the gangway side by side and stopped to look out at the area where the grass met the stone path.

The turquoise waters and the lush green forests do not diminish the vibrant life of the city, where vegetables and rice stalks hang heavy in the distance.

"How is the scenery in Fukiyoshi City?"

It was a voice from afar.

As the girls stepped out of the cabin, the waiting beauty followed, and at that moment, she parted her lips slightly and asked a question.

"It cleverly utilizes the flat terrain, which not only avoids excessive environmental damage but also facilitates the transportation and economic development of the entire town. It is a very good development design."

It is a compliant response.

"As expected of Nanyin, your vision remains as discerning as ever."

Following the sound, a cascade of long, shimmering golden hair immediately catches the eye, while loose, flowing clothing accentuates her figure, highlighting her calm and languid demeanor.

This slender figure and her innate elegance were not unfamiliar to Nan Yin. They had met in Bai Ke City before because of their similarities, and had continued to discuss and keep in touch since then.

This airport pick-up was planned well in advance.

"Cattleya, it's been a long time."

"It has indeed been a long time since we last met. I just never imagined that in just one year, you would rise from a newcomer to a superstar and be on the same level as me."

With a slight nod, Cattleya took a few steps and slowly approached the girl.

As an indigo arc of light suddenly appeared in the man's eyes, the surprise in his voice was even greater than before.

"Although I had expected it, I still find it hard to believe that you can actually elevate your superpowers to this level through hard work."

Being praised by others always brings joy, especially when the person in front of her is not only her friend, but also the renowned superpowered queen.

Her heart was filled with joy, but her face remained expressionless. Taking the opportunity, Nan Yin took the initiative to ask about one of the purposes of her trip to Hezhong.

Do you have any general understanding of the matter I mentioned to you some time ago?

"That liar, Queschi? After being arrested and imprisoned, he did release some information indicating that a king would inherit his will and liberate all the Pokémon in the Unova region, but—"

Having said all she could say, the blonde woman's voice suddenly turned icy cold, like an avalanche about to collapse.

"That was just an excuse to realize his ambitions. His evil deeds are too numerous to count, and there is no room for refutation. However, based on the clues you provided, Nan Yin, the Alliance has indeed discovered some traces."

"Leaving aside the whereabouts of the Ideal Dragon, this boy, who is clearly human but possesses mysterious powers similar to those of a Pokémon, must be the one you've been searching for, right?"

Chapter 183 Meeting the Crowd and Fighting the Black-and-White Female Lead

"It's not so much a search, but simply a matter of understanding the current situation in the Unova region as much as possible."

Ignoring Cattleya's deliberate teasing, Nanyin's feelings toward N were rather complex.

Aside from the male and female protagonists, who are much more mature than their predecessors, the tall, green-haired youth wearing a baseball cap is equally memorable, just like Douzi and Mingyi.

His bright eyes have lost their luster, and his temperament is melancholic. These are his outward appearances. It is also rumored that he is the offspring of a human and a Pokémon, and that he knows Pokémon language and can communicate with Pokémon through his mind.

Even though he once stood on the opposite side of the protagonist in the game, N is not a villain in the traditional sense. He had an unhappy childhood, and the so-called bullying and cold looks have lingered around him since his birth.

This tragedy was precisely what Ghetsis exploited. The leader of Team Plasma took in the young man and instilled in him a twisted and prejudiced ideology from a young age. On the surface, he claimed to be liberating Pokémon and enabling living beings and humans to coexist equally, but in reality, he was using N's background and abilities to consolidate the "Legend of the Twin Dragons" and recruit followers, thereby fulfilling his ambition to rule the Unova region.

Now, judging from Gadria's tone, Ghetsis is in prison, and N has abandoned Team Plasma, wandering alone in the vast countryside of Unova.

She lifted her fingertips and gently stroked the pure white crystal around her neck. Based on the information she had gathered, the girl knew that they had now entered the second chapter of the Black and White arc, which also matched the description given by the True Dragon Reshiram.

He said, the ideal dragon has lost all news; He said, the lost have entered the end. Just as the script is going, Zekrom will become a component of the dragon god's remains, and will be re-embedded into Kyurem's body by the gene wedge.

With her brows relaxed and her thoughts calmed, Nan Yin knew that now was not the time for prolonged contemplation. No matter the situation, she needed to delve deeper step by step to uncover the root cause.

"Finally snapped out of it? I've been waiting so long I was about to yawn."

Seeing that the girl was no longer lost in thought, Cattleya chuckled and stepped forward to lead the way.

"Please wait patiently."

She offered a brief apology, and her interactions with the former maintained a distance, not intimacy, but rather a shared exchange between fellow superpowered individuals.

Although the trip to Hefei University was a spur-of-the-moment decision based on the old principal's advice, once the decision was made, it should be followed through to the end.

"It's alright. It's three in the afternoon, and the sun isn't too strong yet. Let's go have some warm tea first, which will help you wash away the dust from your long flight. After all, the airport isn't exactly a good place to talk. Some of my acquaintances are still hoping to meet you."

A fluorescent blue glow emanated from her eyes and brows, spreading throughout her body. As the blonde beauty glanced back, her figure had already faded into the distance, but her voice had not yet faded.

"First, I apologize for leaving. It's too noisy here, and I'm not quite used to controlling my senses yet, so my mind is completely blank. With your superpowers, you should be able to easily get that girl away. I'll be waiting for you at the villa in the center of Ripple Town."

Gardaria's words were not false, nor were they impolite. Although her superpowers were terrifying in scale, she lacked control and used them crudely. It was precisely because of this that she would inadvertently receive too much information, leading to unstable emotions and being easily angered or pleased.

During this time, even though Nan Yin had been guiding the other party to gradually refine the control of mental power based on her own experience, it would take a considerable amount of time to stir up the entire ocean with a single ladleful.

Looking down at the flowing crowd and then at her friend beside her, Nan Yin spread her five fingers and presented her palm to the other person.

Hold my hand tightly.

"kindness."

Without the slightest hesitation, Korne placed her hand in the girl's palm.

She was unaware of the content of Nan Yin's conversation with Jia Deliya, and would not inquire about it, because if necessary, the other party would definitely tell her in detail.

In contrast, the girl cherishes every moment they spend together now, because—

When your close friends are too outstanding, others will always take away your free time.

The faint purple light lingered and did not dissipate, unlike the conspicuous and eye-catching light of the United Heavenly Kings. Following the sound of the air being torn apart, the scene before their eyes changed drastically, and they had already appeared in front of a detached villa shaped like an ancient castle.

This isn't some kind of superpowered teleportation; it's simply using overwhelming psychic power to envelop the body and propel it forward, achieving a speed of a thousand miles a day. The reason Nan Yin didn't use this method to travel before was firstly because it was too energy-consuming and would make her too conspicuous, and secondly because she preferred to use her senses to carefully record the scenery and people along the way.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, you two."

As if he had been waiting patiently, or perhaps he had seen his young mistress teleport too many times, the well-dressed man standing by the door remained unmoved, simply placing his arms in front of his chest and making way for someone to pass in a standard posture.

"My name is Shi Lan, and I am the young lady's housekeeper. Miss Nan Yin, Miss Ke Er Ni, please come in."

She vaguely remembered that the person in front of her was once the leader of the battle zone. Without hesitation, the girl strode past him.

Just like its elegant and rustic exterior, this castle is less a villa and more an old-fashioned architectural style. Walking through it is like a whole European courtyard slowly unfolding before your eyes.

The dim, yellow light of evening shines obliquely on the walls, the smooth, neat marble extending inwards, and the dazzling, exquisite chandeliers stretching along the ceiling, the fragrance lingering in the air.

"This is it."

Shi Lan lightly knocked on the door, gesturing for the two to come closer. As the cold air dissipated, the scene inside the room came into view.

The warm-colored coffee table and the exquisite sofa are not just for the elegant lady sipping her tea. The figures gathered around the table are all familiar faces, some even appearing on television programs.

Alice, the new champion with a slightly brownish complexion and a petite yet imposing figure.

Dressed smartly, even with her waist exposed and midriff showing, the owner of the Flight Pavilion, Feng Lu, exudes youthful energy.

Xiao Ju'er, a super popular model with striking features and graceful posture, is known as a dazzling beauty. She wears headphones.

Just like at the women's tea party in Baike City, Nan Yin was just a newcomer welcomed by Ma Xiu in the past, but now she is the one who directly participates in and leads the discussion as an invitee.

"Hmph, this time we've finally received some rare assistance, so we can breathe a sigh of relief."

Patting her not-so-ample chest, the girl named Alice raised the corners of her mouth, making no attempt to hide her welcome.

"Seeing is believing! May I call you Nanyin?"

By raising his arm high, Feng Lu seemed to be openly trying to get the girl's attention.

Unlike the former, Xiao Ju'er simply tightened the collar of her clothes, focusing solely on Nan Yin's outfit.

"The light shines like the morning sun; it's just an ordinary outfit, yet it brings out such beauty."

After this three times, Cattleya finally gently placed the tea set on the table and asked with a smile.

"Would you like me to introduce the people present?"

Without needing to elaborate, Nan Yin knew their experiences, so she was inclined to ask if they were alright. But the next moment, the girl's gaze lingered on the girl sitting in the corner, clenching her fists and remaining silent.

Her dark brown curly hair cascaded down her chest and neck, a pure black vest covered her white shirt, and her tight jeans barely reached her thighs, accentuating her youthful and beautiful temperament.

Because she had lowered the brim of her hat, she hadn't noticed the other person until now. The girl seemed to have sensed Nan Yin's gaze as well, and turned her face slightly away, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Who is this?

The question wasn't out of ignorance, but rather a desire for confirmation, since the figure bore an uncanny resemblance to the protagonist of the generation.

Following the girl's gaze, Cattleya immediately understood.

"You mean Douzi? Actually, she was the one who suggested this gathering, wanting to see you."

Chapter 184 The Gene Wedge and Kyurem

"Hello, Douzi."

"Nice to meet you, Nanyin."

He spread his palms out in front of him, and the girl extended her five fingers in return, briefly shaking hands with him. Their first meeting thus came to an end.

"Should I introduce myself?"

"Then trouble you."

Without refusing, Nan Yin did indeed harbor considerable curiosity about such a protagonist of the generation.

Reality is not a game. When the real dragon chooses her as its companion, the predetermined future is already changed. What kind of life path will the girl in front of you take?

"I come from Deer Town. I was assigned to Professor Yew's Pokédex and traveled as an ordinary trainer. During this time, I encountered all sorts of dangers, but I also gained a lot."

Having said all she could say, the chestnut-haired girl was about to bring up the main topic when she was interrupted by Xiaoju'er beside her, who began to tease her.

"Douzi is really not being honest enough. Isn't BW Entertainment Company founded by you? Speaking of which, even when I participate in performances or attend events, I have troubled you to coordinate the process several times. You are the most famous event planner in the United States. This is not an ordinary job."

With her palm outstretched, the blonde woman casually traced arcs with her slender, narrow fingers, yet her words were full of praise for the woman.

Hearing Xiao Ju'er's praise, Nan Yin slightly widened her eyes.

Even in Carlos, many young girls had heard of the BW Entertainment Company.

Abandoning the established plot, this female protagonist not only climbs the mountain as a trainer but also makes great progress in her career, which can be described as a rather unexpected turn of events.

"Exactly, Douzi, be more confident. Managing the entire company by yourself is not easy. Just listening to all those incidents makes me sleepy."

With a bitter expression, Alice, as the newly crowned champion, was still young and inexperienced, making it extremely difficult for her to coordinate the operation of the entire league.

"No way..."

Her ears turned slightly red, and her denial, barely audible, revealed Douzi's embarrassment. But soon, she patted her cheeks, dispelling her earlier panic.

"Nanyin must be wondering why I invited you. Actually, part of it is because of N's existence."

“I have met him before and learned about his character through our encounters. Although Nan Yin, the information you provided about Gadria is quite extensive and even involves the ultimate goal of Team Plasma, N’s character cannot be simply described as a villain.”

A flash of reminiscence crossed his eyes, Douzi pursed his lower lip, and his tone was filled with more sighing.

"He is a very complicated person. Not only the Alliance officials, but even I have been looking for his whereabouts. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. More importantly, as fellow Pokédex holders, we have the idea of ​​meeting each other and helping each other."

Douzi's words were quite frank. If an ordinary person heard them, they would probably guess the relationship between this girl and N. But Nanyin noticed that they helped each other.

Taking out the illustrated guide given to her by the professor, the girl felt a surge of emotions as she looked at her own name engraved on it.

There are also distinctions between the illustrations. She originally thought that Blatano was just doing his duty, giving illustrations to newcomers as usual. But now that others have pointed it out, Nan Yin realized that the doctor had such expectations of her from the very beginning.

The Pokédex holder, as the name suggests, possesses a Pokédex personally gifted by the professor. This is not only a symbol of status, but also a reflection of the expectations that the previous generation holds for the next.

But where does this expectation come from? Is it because she, despite her own financial difficulties, painstakingly adopted Eevee, who had been abandoned and was lame in the hind leg, and patiently melted away the little beast's guarded heart over time? Or is it because of the help she provided as an assistant at the research institute day and night?

She felt a deeper sense of shame. Although her arrival in the Unova region was due to the old headmaster's suggestion and mostly for the Blueberry Academy's book inventory, the matter of the Three Dragons of the Way was something she still had to face. It was always easier to have help from the right side than to fight alone.

Moreover, Team Plasma and Team Ghetsis are not like Team Flare, who have the same integrity and firm principles. They are two-faced, frequently commit evil deeds, and their methods of stealing Pokémon and harming people are no less ruthless.
