Chapter 106 Have I been tricked again?
"It is said that in the depths of the canyon in the South 3rd District on the east side of Takada City, many people have recently seen a very huge hairy cliff crab."
(Hairy crab, looks adorably silly)
Piper continued speaking.
"Its size is several times larger than that of a typical hairy cliff crab, even as big as a small hill, which is obviously abnormal."
"So I think—maybe it's the effect of some secret seasoning that has unleashed its potential?"
Before Qingyu could speak after Pipa finished speaking, Nemo was the first to react.
"A hairy cliff crab! And a hairy cliff crab several times its size! How delicious it would be if we could collect some of its shells and shed claws!"
Just thinking about the incredibly powerful secret seasoning that Pipa mentioned made Nemo's face light up with happiness, and she subconsciously reached out to wipe away non-existent drool.
Nemo's interruption almost made Qingyu laugh while she was talking about serious matters, but she managed to keep her expression in check.
Hairy crab sticks are a very delicious ingredient from the Padiya region. They are made from the naturally shed shells, claws, and legs of hairy crabs.
This event is also recorded in Pokémon Red and Purple.
"If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. I'd like to see what kind of effects the legendary secret seasoning can have."
Qingyu glanced at Papa and smiled.
"Hmm—I want to set off first to gather some specific information about that hairy cliff crab."
"If that's true, I might have to trouble Qingyu to accompany me to the South 3rd District in a few days."
Encouraged by Qingyu's gaze, Papa finally voiced her request.
"no problem."
Qingyu accepted his request with a smile.
The first Pokémon's strength shouldn't be too great; the two Pokémon it currently has should be enough.
"Me too! I want to go!"
Seeing that she was being ignored, Nemo immediately puffed out her cheeks, shouted, and raised her arms high.
"Of course, then the dojo can just take a day off."
As a dojo owner, it's normal and reasonable for him to be away from home every few days, right?
With that thought in mind, Qingyu slowly nodded and agreed to Nimo's request.
"Then, let's call this operation the 'Legendary Path'."
Time passed and night fell.
Because she had a legitimate excuse to slack off due to being busy at the dojo these past two days, Qingyu skipped her livestream for a whole day.
He was having a video call with Zhu Lan at that moment.
Hoenn Devon, the company that developed the Navigator app, has recently made new progress in its collaboration with the Vladali Institute in the Carlos region.
Therefore, the holographic technology, which was first implemented in Pokémon Champion, was quickly applied to Rotom mobile phones.
Gazing at the lifelike bamboo orchid appearing on the phone screen, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh:
"The power of technology is truly amazing!"
"Yes, it feels like you're right next to me right now."
Zhu Lan smiled faintly and reached out to brush aside the golden hair that naturally fell from her temples.
Qingyu noticed the unintentional little movement.
Gazing at the bamboo orchid so close by, his heart suddenly skipped a beat for some reason.
"Speaking of which, you should know that the Dragon Attribute Master Tournament next month has been confirmed to be held in Tabletop City in the Padia region, right?"
Zhu Lan didn't notice his dazed look and spoke with a smile.
"Huh? I don't know—"
Qingyu then came to his senses; he had never heard anyone mention this before.
Perhaps it's because I don't have much to do with dragons.
If it were a Fighting or Normal type, it might even be able to join in the fun.
"Um-.-·?
Zhu Lan raised an eyebrow, then patiently explained:
"This Masters Tournament will be held in the middle of next month. As the last major event of the year, famous Dragon-type trainers from various regions will participate, so it will be very popular."
"I see."
Qingyu nodded, indicating her understanding.
In the Pokémon world, dragons have always been a symbol of nobility, and the title of Dragon Tamer naturally gives the feeling of being superior to other trainers.
Catching a dragon Pokémon is a dream for many new trainers.
Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion, whose ace is the formidable Garchomp and Garchomp, naturally has no reason not to participate.
Does this mean I'll be able to see this elusive childhood sweetheart again?
Moreover, if it's the Masters Tournament, I'll probably be staying in the Padiya region for about a week. Thinking about this, Qingyu found himself a little nervous.
I'm such a useless thing!
As Qingyu inwardly berated herself, Zhulan spoke again, "Do you remember Aunt Dorasena from Shenhe Town? She'll be competing as the Dragon-type Elite Four member of the Kalos region this time."
"There are also Lance and Tsubaki from the Indigo Plateau, Genji, the late-blooming Elite Four member from the Hoenn region, and Raihana, the 'strongest Gym Leader' from Galar. They are all experts specializing in Dragon-type."
At this point, Zhu Lan couldn't help but sigh, her half-revealed profile showing a hint of disappointment.
"Although I'm very confident in myself and Garchomp, I still need to catch another dragon Pokémon."
Only then can they compete in Padiya.
"So, could you please ask the all-knowing Yu-sensei for advice on which Pokémon I should catch?"
After smoothly steering the conversation back to herself, Zhu Lan stuck out her tongue and gave a sly smile.
Qingyu frowned slightly and immediately went online to look up relevant information.
As Zhu Lan said, the rules for this year's Masters Tournament are 3v3, and at least two players must have the attributes required for the tournament.
And Cyndaquil's champion main unit is indeed only Garchomp.
But the Sinnoh region only seems to have Garchomp as a local Pokémon; we can't exactly pull out a Palkia or Dialga, can we...?
Wait a minute?
It seems that in the anime, Cynthia also had a staff-tailed kobold.
As a Pokémon that matures late, Jolteon's training period is already quite short, so it shouldn't be too difficult for the champion.
In nearly a month, it should be no problem to cultivate them into at least scaled dragons.
Furthermore, although Kommo-o is a Pokémon in the Alola Pokédex, it is also found in Kitakami Township.
And Beishang Township.
It's right above Sinnoh!
After Qingyu shared her thoughts with Zhulan, she quickly gave her a nod of approval.
"A Kommo-o-Tai? That does seem like a good choice."
As Zhu Lan was speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said:
"Speaking of which, Aoba, you probably haven't been to Kitakami Township, have you? It has a beautiful landscape known as the 'Six Selections of Kitakami.'"
"If we go back to Sinnoh for the New Year, how about we go to Kitakami Village together?"
"It doesn't seem like it's impossible."
After subconsciously agreeing to Zhu Lan's casual suggestion, Qing Yu suddenly realized what was going on.
wait?
I didn't seem to have any plans to return to Sinnoh before, so why did you agree to this? Did I get tricked again?
Qingyu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that this was Zhulan's idea from the very beginning?
But after gazing into Zhu Lan's clear eyes for a few seconds, Qing Yu quickly gave in.
impossible?
That's the kind and adorable Sister Cabbage; she probably just mentioned it casually.
I'm definitely overthinking it!
