"I...I lost..."
Cattleya stood with her feet on the ground, remaining silent for a long time.
She never imagined that she would lose in such a way.
Looking back on her long career of battles, this was the only time she felt physically uncomfortable.
Are defensive Pokémon really this difficult to deal with?
Cattleya, who excels at combining her mental strength with that of her partner and is used to using her powerful bricks to blast through opponents, is experiencing intense self-doubt for the first time in her life.
clap clap-
applause.
Zhu Lan smiled and approached, "A very exciting battle."
Wonderful?
Cattleya looked at her blankly, not finding anything interesting about it at all, and now that she thought about it, she even felt a little dizzy.
It's very similar to a state of excessive mental exhaustion.
Zhu Lan said softly, "Cattleya, don't forget what you once told me."
What were those words said?
Caldelia's mind was instantly filled with memories.
Yes.
She once told Zhulan that the immature version of herself was no longer there.
But as things stand, "she" remains hidden in one's heart.
Cattleya took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure again."
"Take this opportunity to examine yourself. If you can gain some insight, you will become stronger!"
Zhu Lan gently patted her shoulder.
From the champion's perspective, this was a match that Cattleya should be happy about.
After all, what could be more gratifying than discovering your shortcomings before an official competition?
"..."
Cattleya remained silent.
She has begun to reflect on herself, using her superpowers to review the battle she just fought.
Zhu Lan was very pleased that she was still the same as before, a good child who could listen to what she was told.
immediately.
Zhu Lan stopped bothering her and slowly walked towards the cypress tree.
Seeing that it was squatting next to the Galar Corsola, she squatted down as well and praised it, "What an excellent Pokémon."
The sun coral is less than 60 centimeters long, about the size of a small watermelon.
Despite having eaten plenty of glowing food, the appearance of Ghost Pokémon has been largely fixed since their inception, whether it's this one, or Shiny Gengar and Dragapult.
Despite its tiny size, this Pokémon is so small that Mega Gallade is helpless against it.
The psychic blade can slice through a tree that a person can encircle, but it can't even scrape off a speck of dust in front of the sun coral.
Zhu Lan had fought with Cattleya quite a few times in private and knew very well what kind of power the latter possessed.
To put it bluntly, if Alice hadn't been so exceptionally strong and talented, the next regional champion of Unova would have been Cattleya.
Zhu Lan had that confidence in her.
Unfortunately, fate doesn't grant talents to just one person. It gave Cattleya powerful superpowers, and Alice the unique [Dragon Heart].
Zhu Lan felt regretful about this, but was also happy for Cattleya.
Because she has a goal worth striving for.
And myself...
At the beginning of this year, Zhu Lan made a bold decision—
Retire.
He resigned from his champion's throne to focus on developing his archaeological career.
She had been standing atop the trainer's mountain for too long, and looking up at the vast emptiness was getting a bit tiresome.
So they prepared to make way for the newcomer.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the day the World Championships end will be the day she publicly retires.
Hopefully, this match won't disappoint her.
Zhu Lan still remembers the day she ascended to the champion's throne, and hopes that when she leaves, she can also leave herself with a precious memory.
And just now.
She saw the scene where the passion that had been stagnant within her began to surge again.
A glint appeared in Zhu Lan's clear, glassy eyes. "It's obvious you've cultivated it exceptionally well!"
Kashiwagi smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment."
"voice!"
The sun coral seemed very angry, with more white smoke billowing from its holes, like a very vibrant plant.
It was only because it wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible, but it has dragged on until now.
It took even longer than most of the previous battles!
Zhu Lan asked curiously, "It seems a little unhappy even though it won the battle?"
Kashiwagi: "Hmm..."
You can't exactly say that the sun corals are complaining about winning too slowly, can you?
He tried a different approach, saying, "My sun coral is a pacifist."
"pacifist?"
Zhu Lan was clearly taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed, "That's an interesting statement. You hate fighting?"
"I hate trouble."
Kashiwa picked up the sun coral, letting its still-unfolded, smoke-like tentacles "pierce" into his body.
Upon seeing this, the sun coral immediately withdrew.
Even so, it still gave him a strong thrill, similar to touching an electric shock.
Zhu Lan said, "I hope we can have a chance to fight each other."
Coral's performance naturally ignited her fighting spirit. As a champion, she would never back down when faced with a tank like Coral; she would only feel challenged.
And challenges are precisely one of the driving forces that motivate people to grow.
"I'm also looking forward to it, Ms. Zhu Lan."
Why wouldn't Kashiwagi also want to challenge the object of his past admiration?
Zhu Lan shook her head. "Please just call me by my name. We are both champions, so you don't need to be so polite."
As the two talked, Cattleya completely composed herself and stepped closer, saying, "Thank you for your guidance! Your Coral Sun exceeded my expectations... but I won't lose to you in a real battle!"
"Each each other."
Kashiwagi nodded, then looked around. "Where's Acerola?"
"She went to borrow the book for me."
Cynthia smiled and said, "The history of the Alola region is very interesting. The Radiant God from another world has the power to bestow light upon the world."
"Have you seen the news that Alola was plunged into darkness for a long time last year?"
Seemingly having touched on something that interested her, Zhu Lan began to talk at length.
Kashiwagi occasionally chimed in, but he couldn't quite keep up with Cattleya's overly enthusiastic demeanor.
Although I know this superpowered girl idolizes Zhu Lan, it seems her behavior has crossed the line of idolization a bit...
The three chatted for a while before returning to the library.
Not long after they entered, Acerola returned carrying a book, while Greedy Lapp came back with a pile of books on his head.
Zhu Lan happily stepped forward and said, "Thank you so much for your help, Miss Administrator!"
"It's okay, it's what I should do~"
Acerola smiled and shook her head.
Because she is too young, there are many things she cannot do, which makes her extremely idle on weekdays.
She was very happy to receive help from Zhu Lan.
Faced with a large number of books, Zhu Lan, as always, suffered from decision paralysis and hesitated for a long time before deciding to read several at the same time.
What made Kashiwagi quite nervous was that when Acerola brought several different desserts, Rosamund started to hesitate again.
"Hmm...making choices is really difficult!"
She said with a hint of distress.
Gadriya cupped her chin in admiration, "Sister Zhulan looks so cool when she makes a serious decision~"
Kashiwagi: "..."
Sister, you're absolutely awesome.
-
It's noon.
Kashiwagi took his leave and prepared to explore other parts of Alora.
Although I still really like this childhood goddess, he is definitely not the type to rush around to get close to people.
It would be quite troublesome if Cattleya, who clearly has feelings for Orchid, misunderstood.
Even though Cattleya doesn't seem like a difficult person to talk to.
Don't let her slightly arrogant personality fool you; she has the right to be arrogant.
An impressive family background and exceptional talent—both qualities are unmatched by ordinary people.
During her trip to the Alola region, Cynthia stayed at Cattleya's beachfront villa on Melemele Island. The villa was enormous, a super mansion that was incomparable to Kashiwagi's beachfront cabin.
Of course, with Kashiwagi's current net worth, he can definitely afford it.
Before leaving, he exchanged contact information with Zhulan and Cattleya, then said goodbye to Merdan, and rode the three-headed dragon to a ranch on Akala Island.
"Kashiwagi!"
Kachi, who was milking the large milk tank, was pleasantly surprised and rushed over to give him a hug without even taking off her gloves and mask. "Oh my gosh~ what brings you here?"
"Oh my! Of course, I just stopped by to see you."
Kashiwa took a few steps back and stared down at his gloves.
Seeing this, Kaki quickly and awkwardly took it off and said, "Are you here for a vacation in Alola? That makes sense!"
"There is no better place in the world for a vacation than the Alora region!"
He clenched his fist proudly; he loved Mount Akara and Alora!
Kashiwagi smiled and said, "So, are you ready?"
"Prepare for what... Ah! Be ready at any time!"
Kachi didn't react at first, but when he saw the person in front of him take out a Poké Ball, he excitedly turned around and said, "Xing'er! Come and help your brother!"
"Coming!"
A little girl came running quickly; it was Xing'er, Kachi's younger sister.
In just one year, Xing'er has grown up quite a bit, and even Kachi is willing to let her help him now.
In the past, even if Xing'er tried to take an empty bucket, Kachi would pounce on her and stop her.
The little girl was also very happy to see Kashiwagi, exclaiming, "Brother Kashiwagi!"
"Xing'er admires you the most now. She often watches your matches and short videos. She plans to tame a Maw of Basilisk when she turns ten."
Kachi chuckled and patted Xing'er's head.
Xing'er shyly nudged her brother, then asked with anticipation and longing, "Can I see Big Mouth Baby?"
"of course can."
Kashiwagi quickly took out a Poké Ball and opened it.
She's clearly a huge fan of Maw of Fowl; if he refuses her request to meet her, Maw of Fowl will complain.
Sure enough, when Mawile landed, it learned that the little girl in front of it had followed its Pokémon sound account.
At the same time, he liked and shared the posts every day, showing himself to be a die-hard fan. His attitude suddenly became more friendly than ever before.
"Tsk-tsk~"
It not only willingly allowed Xing'er to touch and even hug it, but also took several photos with her and posted them on its blog and Pokémon.
title--
"Meeting a little fan in person, what an adorable child!"
It garnered countless likes and comments as soon as it was posted.
Since it single-handedly defeated the Four Heavenly Kings, Ah Ju, its lost popularity has gradually returned.
Seeing the number of followers and likes increasing every day, Mouthball is very satisfied.
This is a private account that it built from scratch!
The young lady felt a great sense of accomplishment.
While the two were taking a photo together, Kiawe and his Pokémon were being subjected to inhumane abuse.
He did to Kachi all the things that were difficult to say or do to Gadriya.
This caused the dark-skinned young man to become inexplicably withdrawn.
"What exactly have I done this year...?"
He knelt on the ground, his eyes glazed over.
The BlastTurtle, Alolan Marowak, and Charizard lying nearby shared the same sentiment.
I didn't know what despair was before, but now I do.
Kashiwagi patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "You're already very capable. You'll be inheriting the position of King of the Island soon!"
"really?"
Kachi looked up at him, then shook his head regretfully, "It's probably difficult."
The title of "King of the Island" differs from that of "Regional Champion" not entirely based on strength, but also on status and popular support.
Normally, no matter how strong a trainer is...
Without the support of the island's inhabitants and the promise of the island's king himself, it would be virtually impossible for him to succeed as king of the island.
Like the island king of Bonnie, Hapuu surpassed him in strength long ago.
However, she was able to inherit the position only when the other party was no longer able to serve as the king of the island.
"Everyone should have dreams! I believe you can do it!"
Kashiwagi's affirmative tone deeply moved Kaki. "Kashiwagi..."
He thought he would be looked down upon for performing so poorly.
To my surprise, I received comfort!
It's unbelievable!
Kachi couldn't help but admire Kashiwagi's growing champion's demeanor and invited him inside for ice cream.
The two chatted idly.
Kashiwagi suddenly smiled and asked, "When do you plan to graduate from the Pokémon School?"
"Graduation? What happened?"
Kachi was slightly taken aback.
Kashiwagi said, "To tell you the truth, I have a school that is about to be built, and I hope..."
"Going to school? Sure!"
Kachi readily agreed, as he wanted to study at the school run by Kashiwagi and become extremely strong after graduation!
To everyone's surprise, the other person smiled and shook their head, "No, no, no, I want you to be a teacher."
"Old...what?"
Kachi's eyes widened, and he pointed to himself.
he?
be a teacher?
Kashiwagi nodded and said, "I have verified your strength, and it perfectly meets my requirements!"
Kaki's growth rate is higher than Gladio's.
He may not be a match for Gladio yet, but he is definitely qualified to be a teacher.
Just as Kashiwagi thought.
A powerful trainer may not necessarily be able to train a powerful trainer. Kiawe may be slightly less powerful, but his sense of responsibility and personality are very suitable for the teaching profession.
In the game, Kiawe served as the captain of the Island Tour, responsible for guiding new trainers.
"I...I'll think about it?"
Kachi's expression changed.
Bai Mu said, "Take your time to think it over. My school is only at the foundation stage."
"They've only laid the foundation? I'm relieved."
Kachi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he would receive a response soon.
We didn't have dinner at the ranch.
Kashiwagi returned to Melemele Island and went to the Aina Dining Hall to see Mao. After having dinner, he naturally extended an invitation.
"I'm going to be a cooking class teacher..."
Mao lacks confidence.
Being a teacher is way too advanced for a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
Kashiwagi, however, didn't care about the issue of age at all.
Pokémon classic jokes—
Here, ten years old is considered "adulthood"!
Ok……
The issue of Poppi may require pulling the age group down a bit further.
