League building of Sinnoh League.
Alternate venue.
Steven and others were already sitting in the spectator seats, waiting to see what happened.
"By the way, is this guy Fang Yan really sure of defeating Cynthia?"
Du held Zhishi in his arms, looked at Steven aside, and asked.
Steven shook his head, "I'm not sure, but according to Miss Cynthia's strength - it's very difficult."
The champion of Cynthia, Sinnoh League.
It only took a very short time from her debut to becoming the champion of League, and then she has been sitting firmly as the champion of Sinnoh League. Among all the champions of League, only Leon can defeat her.
Compared with Kalos champion Diantha, who is also a champion, and she is also a woman, the gap is not as big as usual.
"Little Shauna, who do you think will win, Fang Yan or Cynthia?"
Shauna sat on Lucian's lap, looked at Du, blinked his big bright eyes, and then said in a nonchalant manner, "Uncle."
Everyone looked at Shauna, and Du smiled and hummed.
"Huh? Why?"
"Because uncle said he would win and he wouldn't lie to me."
Shauna said crisply.
"No matter what he said, he never lied to me, so if he said he would win, then he would win."
Shauna showed an innocent smile and said in a clear and childish voice, "It's so cute. Come on, let me hug you."
Clair, who was sitting behind him, stretched out his hand towards Shauna. Shauna looked up at Lucian, then jumped off Lucian's lap, threw himself into Clair's arms, and was held in her arms.
"Our Little Shauna and Little Zhishi are so cute."
Clair slapped Shauna's little face directly.
Little Shauna wiped the saliva from his face in disgust.
Clair:----
Du: "Hahahahahahahaha,"
"You're so noisy!"
Clair stared at his cousin.
Steven and others, each holding a Pokémon, Meowstic, Munchlax, Zorua----
It seems that anyone who has been to Pokémon Day Care will develop this habit. They usually hold a fluffy Pokémon in their arms, or something that feels good, such as Munchlax, with a double belly.
On the field, Cynthia stood on it, with his hands folded across his chest, and the fingers of his right hand kept tapping the arm of his left hand.
When she thought about having to fight Fang Yan later, she felt an indescribable sense of anticipation and impatience.
She hopes that her significant other will be someone stronger than her.
So she has been waiting for the moment when Fang Yan initiates a battle request to her.
That night, when Fang Yan said those words in front of her, she felt inexplicably relieved, followed by a sense of excitement.
When was the last time you felt like this?
When you challenge Sinnoh League for the championship? Or when Galar Region fights against Leon?
It's been so long that she almost forgot this feeling----
Fang Yan, you won't let me down, right?
auditorium.
"Sister, aren't you going to help?"
Latios suddenly appeared in the crowd, looked at the invisible Latias beside him, and asked.
Latias showed his true appearance and looked at Latios who suddenly appeared, "Why are you here?! Shouldn't you continue traveling with your trainer?"
Latios laughed sarcastically.
"Oh~ Let me tell you, your trainer is so stingy. Unlike Fang Yan, he gave me Soul Dew when we first met, saying it was a meeting gift for me, and then gave me Mega Evolution Stone, which meant Mega Evolution for me. Alas, I said enough at the time, and he insisted on giving it to me. I had no choice but to accept it."
Listening to Latias's speech, Latios rolled his eyes, then turned invisible and ignored Latias.
What are you pretending to be! Aren't they just Soul Dew and Mega Evolution Stone? Who doesn't?!
Well, I didn't----
"Eh? Isn't Latias going to play today?"
Ash saw Latias next to him and asked in confusion.
Latias shook his head, and his voice rang in everyone's minds, "Fang Yan said that he wanted to rely on Pokémon Day Care's Pokémon for today's battle."
Everyone was a little confused.
Latias is also Pokémon of Pokémon Day Care?
Latias did not continue to speak, but became invisible and focused on the field.
Fang Yan, you have to work harder----
After the things here are over, it is estimated that it will not be long before it and its brother go to Water City to help protect the city that the Latias family has guarded for generations, until the next pair of Latias and Latios appear.
Cynthia stood on the field, staring at the opposite passage, which was completely dark.
Fang Yan stood in the passage, surrounded by Gengar and the others.
Fang Yan was so nervous that he could hear his own heartbeat.
"You guys said, what if we lose?"
Fang Yan spoke softly.
"Kou Jie?"
Lost? Then let's go back and train hard and come back next time.
"Goth."
Yes.
"Laji~"
Don't worry~
"Kou Jie"
Just leave it to us. Believe in yourself and trust us.
Seeing Gengar's smile that suddenly became reliable, Fang Yan stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of its mouth.
"That's right. I'm not alone. I'm with you."
Fang Yan took Z-Ring and looked at the field outside the passage. Cynthia was standing on it, waiting for him.
"Everyone, let's do our best together!"
"Kou Jie!"
Fang Yan took them back to Poké Ball, then walked out of the passage with his own steps.
Everyone who was still chatting suddenly became quiet after seeing Fang Yan come out.
Fang Yan walked onto the battlefield and looked at Cynthia opposite.
Cynthia took a breath and said, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
The voice was cold, but extremely warm, as if the person standing on the field was not an opponent, but a family member.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, I'm here."
Fang Yan smiled and said.
Cynthia smiled.
"I'm looking forward to it, Fang Yan. Really, I'm looking forward to it, looking forward to you defeating me, but, Fang Yan."
Cynthia let go of his hands and was dressed exactly the same as when the two met for the first time, black high-heeled shoes with red soles, slender and slim wide-leg pants, a shirt and a black windbreaker on top, and his blond hair covered one eye.
"I will use all my strength and then completely defeat you!"
Cynthia said this, his eyes were cold, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
A gust of wind blew by, making Cynthia's windbreaker rustle.
Fang Yan has an expressionless face.
By the way - should I also say a few words at this time to boost my courage? Just pretend?
Gengar's Poké Ball shook a little.
Yes~
In that case----
"Then are you ready to lose? Gengar and I will not lose."
"What a common sentence----"
Flint patted his afro and complained.
"I thought the store manager Fang Yan would say something cruel, but it turned out to be just such a normal sentence?"
"But it is understandable. After all, he is facing a eldest sister. It is normal for fear to lead to unclear thinking."
Aaron said.
"When Aaron King Wang talked about this, I suddenly remembered that Fang Yan store manager didn't seem to have played against him many times, right?"
Clair looked at his cousin Lance and asked.
Du frowned slightly and thought for a while, "If we talk about battles, there should be quite a lot of battles. After all, every time I chat with him, he will talk about how many people have challenged Pokémon Day Care. But if it is a formal battle, a formal battle on the stage, it seems that it has never happened before, right?
17
Du looked at Wu Song, who also thought for a moment and then shrugged.
"There are only a handful of them."
"Ah? Isn't that the end?"
Clair made a sound and said.
"Shh!"
Watari pressed his index finger on Clair's lips, signaling her to speak softly so as not to disturb Fang Yan and Cynthia on the field.
Clair was gagged by Du, and she was about to push him away, but when she looked up at Du's mature face, she felt a strong sense of security coming from her body. Her ears turned red, and then she glanced at the finger on her lips. The red color began to spread from the roots behind her ears to her face.
She was afraid that Du and Steven would see something, so she quickly turned her head away and stopped talking.
Du looked at Clair who suddenly turned her head away, and was a little confused about what happened to her, but seeing that she was unwilling to talk to him anymore, he had no choice but to give up, sit back in his seat, and slowly wait for the battle between Fang Yan and Cynthia to begin.
In the spectator seats further away, Paul was leaning on a stone pillar, next to the door, and standing beside him was Electivire, looking attentively at the battlefield.
"Aren't you going to record it?"
Gary's voice sounded beside him. Paul turned his head and found that the spiky-headed boy following Umbreon was adjusting a long pole with Rotom Phone clamped on it. Paul saw that the illuminated page was in the video recording function.
"I estimate that this battle will be exciting, and I always feel that there will be a lot worth learning, so I plan to record it, collect it, analyze it frame by frame, and learn from other people's battles, which is also crucial to improving our strength."
Gary didn't look back, he was talking to himself, and at the same time, he didn't stop moving his hands.
He held up a long selfie stick and pressed a button on it. The screen flipped, and his and Paul's faces appeared on it. Gary came to Paul's side. With his confused expression, he put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Come on, smile, let's take a photo together."
Paul looked at himself in the picture and tried his best to smile.
"Ouch, why are you looking so serious? Be optimistic, smile, and think about Gengar's expression. Wrong, that's right. Electivire is now behind him. Yes, his hands are on our shoulders. Yes, that's right."
Gary looked at the stiff smile of Paul next to him and nodded with satisfaction, "Come on, get ready, three, two, one, Geng."
Card wipe.
Ash The two most important rivals in life have their first photo together.
"Perfect."
Gary looked at the photo, nodded with satisfaction, looked at Paul, handed the selfie stick to Electivire (Paul's) aside, then leaned on the back of the chair with both hands, looking at the battlefield, and the wooden pendant on his chest naturally hung down on his chest.
"Fang Yan The store manager told you about it, but I think your idea is correct."
Gary suddenly said, "Conquering the more powerful Pokémon is not wrong in itself. Only when a powerful trainer cooperates with the powerful Pokémon can we achieve 1+1>2. The teacher also agrees with this view. No, it should be said that the teacher agrees with all of us."
"After all, he thinks it's all about getting stronger. There's nothing wrong with it. What he focuses on is the process."
"As long as it doesn't hurt Pokémon."
Paul remembered what he said when he released Chimchar, and thought of the way Infernape looked at him when he was fighting Infernape. Paul exhaled softly.
"But he values Ash more."
"Maybe, haven't you felt it yet? He has the same expectations for us, that is, he wants us to achieve our goals, our real goals."
Paul looked at Gary, Gary didn't look back, "For example, Ash, if he wants to become Pokémon Master, the teacher will teach him Regarding knowledge about combat, I said I wanted to become a researcher at Pokémon, and he asked me to study with him. Regarding knowledge about Pokémon, as for you, he said that you haven't found your true goal yet."
This is what Fang Yan and Gary were talking about last night.
"He said you just want to prove that your path is correct and your ideas are correct."
Paul looked at Gary quietly, and Gary turned around and spread his hands, "You have completed this matter. Everyone knows that your path is not wrong. You have also proved your idea to Mr. Reggie."
Gary paused for a moment, then stood up straight and looked at Paul, "Paul, he asked me to ask you something. He asked, last time you chatted with him, you said you would become stronger, so can you tell him, what is the reason why you want to become stronger?"
Paul opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Become stronger----
In order to defeat Ash?
To prove that you are better than your brother?
Or should I say----
Want to become the League champion?
Gary saw this, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Teacher, he asked me to give this to you."
Paul looked at the camera that suddenly appeared in Gary's hand, and looked at Gary in confusion.
Gary took out another letter from his pocket.
Paul took the letter and opened it. It read, "If you haven't thought about it yet, you might as well go all the way to Unova Region, Kalos Region, visit each area, and then conquer more Pokémon, record their appearance, or in other words, record the moments you spend with them. In the days to come, one day, you will thank yourself at that time."
"What did you write?"
Gary stretched out his head and wanted to see the contents inside. Paul grabbed it and put it into his pocket.
"Curiosity will kill the cat."
"Do you want this camera? Do you want me to take it away?"
Paul took the camera, played with it a bit, and then pointed the lens at Electivire.
"Smile."
Electivire was stunned for a moment, then smiled and struck a cute pose.
Card wipe----
Electivire leaned over and looked at himself in the photo. Paul said in disgust, "It's so ugly."
But the photo was not deleted.
Electivire happily clapped their hands with Gary.
Today is a good day~
"As expected, it's you, Paul, Gary."
The two looked up and found that they were Ash and Pikachu.
"Why are you watching here? Isn't it good to go down and watch?"
Ash came over and asked doubtfully.
"The view here is great."
Paul put his head on Ash's forehead, and there was a scratching sound.
Flash The light is not turned off.
"What are you doing!"
Ash just frowned slightly, "You also bought a camera? How about it? Should we take a photo together?"
Paul didn't speak. Just as he was about to hand the camera to Gary, he heard movement from the battlefield.
The referee rode the Rotom aircraft and raised the flag in his hand.
"Three, two, one, the battle begins!"
"Spiritomb, let them feel your charm."
"Staraptor, tear the sky apart for me!"
The battle between Fang Yan and Cynthia is about to begin.
"Acrobatics!"
"Sucker Punch!"
