When Lance arrived at the scene, the battle was already over.
Lance stood on the empty land that was once an abandoned factory, but now only a huge black pit remained.
He looked around at the fallen trees, broken rocks, and the smoking cracks on the ground.
The expression on his face changed from serious to shocked.
"What's going on...?!"
Lu Chen was taking Lapras with him at this time, carefully treating the injuries of Aerodactyl and Gouging Fire.
After all, Aerodactyl's injuries were accumulated from years of fighting.
Faced with the situation where Aerodactyl and others were injured, Lu Chen seemed to be extra cautious, and be careful again and again.
After Lu Chen put a plaster on Gengar's arm, he heard Lance's voice.
Lu Chen raised his head, smiled, looked at Lance and said with a smile.
"Sure enough, the police arrived after the fighting was over."
Hearing Lu Chen's teasing, Lance looked a little embarrassed.
But this embarrassment was quickly diluted by the tragedy of the scene.
At this time, Lance was even more curious about a question.
"Who can fight with you like this?"
"This fighting situation almost demolished the suburbs of Celadon City!"
He squatted down and looked at a deep ravine on the ground, which was obviously the trace left by some huge energy impact.
More importantly, an entire piece of Plate on the ground not far away was burned into a glass shape by high temperature.
Lance The more I look at it, the more frightened I become.
Although Lance has never fought against Lu Chen.
But judging from the feedback from several other Elite Four.
Lance knows very well that Lu Chen is definitely stronger than Peak Champion!
Lu Chen can defeat such an opponent, the entire Kanto Region can be counted on one hand.
At this time, Lance noticed Cynthia who had been standing silently next to him.
Lance was stunned for a moment.
"Wait a minute, aren't you Sinnoh champion Cynthia? Are you there too?"
"Well, it's me."
Cynthia nodded towards Lance.
Lance looked at Lu Chen, then at Cynthia, the expression on his face became more and more complicated.
Two Champion level trainers, one super ancient time traveler, and one Sinnoh champion.
They joined forces to fight against the enemy, and they ended up fighting like this.
"To make it difficult for two strong champions to cope..."
Lance murmured to himself.
"Even if Giovanni comes in person, he can't do it."
At this time, Lu Chen had almost treated the injuries of Aerodactyl and the others.
Lu Chen looked at the shocked Lance and said:
"Yeah, even Giovanni can't do it, but what if it's Ho-Oh plus a Ice-type champion?"
Lu Chen took out Poké Ball, and while talking, he took back Gouging Fire and Aerodactyl.
Because there are more staff around this time.
Lu Chen doesn't like to be watched.
"?"
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Lance stopped.
"Wait! Lu Chen What did you say Ho-Oh?! Plus a Ice-type champion?!"
"Ho-Oh?! Are you talking about the Ho-Oh? The legendary Ho-Oh who has the power of resurrection?!"
Looking at the shocked Lance in front of him, Lu Chen put the last Poké Ball away, patted the dust on his hands and said
"Otherwise there is Ho-Oh."
"Kanto Region Are there other elves named Ho-Oh?"
"As for the Ice-type champion, I only know his name is Masked Man, and it was he who controlled Ho-Oh to attack us."
"That's why I can only fight him at Celadon City."
After listening to the description of Lu Chen.
Lance's face turned ugly.
He just received a report saying that trainer Champion level was fighting against Celadon City, so he thought it was some kind of personal grudge or the competition got out of hand.
As a result, someone now told Lance that one of the parties in the fierce battle was the legendary super beast Ho-Oh?
Everything that happened today has far exceeded his expectations.
At this time, Lu Chen turned his head, looked at Cynthia and thanked him.
"Thank you for today. If you hadn't helped contain Masked Man, I wouldn't have been able to repel him so easily."
Cynthia was silent for a moment.
Then she took a step forward, getting closer to Lu Chen.
"So, are we friends now?"
When he said this, Cynthia's expression was very serious, and his gray eyes looked directly at Lu Chen.
There was a pure and unvarnished expectation in his tone.
He looks both serious and a bit silly.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing what Cynthia said.
Lu Chen remembered the excuse he made casually when he refused to teach her Dragon Dance.
The result Cynthia, first make apple pie, and then help yourself Rototiller.
After fighting a tough battle today, Cynthia stood here and asked Lu Chen seriously.
"Are we friends now?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha..."
Looking at Lu Chen who was laughing loudly, Cynthia tilted his head, and the expression on his face changed from expectation to confusion.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Lu Chen waved his hand, and after laughing enough, Lu Chen looked at Cynthia and said.
"Well, of course we are friends now."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the corners of Cynthia's mouth raised slightly.
At this time, Cynthia felt extremely happy.
At this time Cynthia looked at Lu Chen and asked
"Then can my Garchomp learn--"
"Shh."
Lu Chen made a silent gesture and glanced around.
There are several workers around now cleaning up the scene.
The most important thing is that Lance is standing nearby with his ears erect.
Cynthia understood and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
But the excitement on her face couldn't be suppressed at all.
In fact, it's no wonder Cynthia is so excited.
Because today's battle is the weakest battle that Cynthia has felt in the two years since he became the champion.
Her four Champion level elves surrounded Masked Man's two Ice-type Pokémon, but they only won miserably.
This is just facing Masked Man, if you are facing that Ho-Oh, even the unconscious Ho-Oh.
Cynthia thinks he has no chance of winning.
This made Cynthia truly realize for the first time what it means to be an invincible opponent.
That feeling of powerlessness made Cynthia's heart that wanted to become stronger start beating again!
Want to become stronger!
And Lu Chen is the one who can make her stronger.
On the other side, Lance has found Blue and is asking her about the situation at the scene.
Blue squatted on the ground, holding his knees with his hands, and told what happened honestly.
From Masked Man controlling Ho-Oh to appear, to Lu Chen commanding the elves to fight Ho-Oh, to her taking advantage of the chaos to hide behind Lu Chen, everything was explained.
Lance After listening, he rubbed his temples.
"Ice-type trainer of Champion level, Masked Man, controls Ho-Oh..."
At this time, Lance feels like one head and two heads.
Kanto Region has been extremely lively recently.
First, there are various super giant elf incidents.
Then Giovanni created the uncontrollable artificial mythical beast Mewtwo.
Now there is a King of Persia, a Masked Man, and a Ho-Oh.
The whole Kanto still looks peaceful now.
But Lance knows very well that if chaos really breaks out, then the whole Kanto
It's definitely a mess.
"This Masked Man, what else do you know about him?" Lance asked Blue.
Blue shook his head:
"I only know that he is good at Ice-type Pokémon, he has a Ho-Oh, and he has caught many children for us to train. I don't know anything else."
"I have been avoiding him since I ran away, and I don't know much about him."
Lance sighed and straightened up.
Lance looked at the woods in the distance that had been swept away by the aftermath of the battle, and the abandoned factory buildings, and then looked at Lu Chen.
At this time, Lance was silently thinking about what to do next.
But at this time, Lance also discovered that according to intelligence, Lu Chen's original intention of coming to this era was to retire.
But it is obvious that this man who has traveled from super ancient times is already standing at the center of the storm.
At this time, Lu Chen looked at Lance and said
"We have something else to do, so we have to go back to Pallet Town first."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Lance hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said
"No matter what, today we still want to thank you on behalf of the citizens of Celadon City."
"If you hadn't deliberately controlled the intensity of the battle, I'm afraid half of Celadon City would have been destroyed."
Lu Chen waved his hand indifferently.
Lu Chen turned over and sat on the back of Aerodactyl, looking at the indifferent Blue and said
"So you plan to stay at Celadon City?"
"Huh?"
At this time, Blue raised his head and looked at Lu Chen and said
"So you want me to continue to follow you?"
And Lu Chen said without looking back.
"You are the trophy I snatched from a big battle. How could I let you wander around outside?"
"And don't forget the origin of your Squirtle."
"I'll take you back to Pallet Town to find Professor Oak and see what he wants to do with you."
