LRAB Chapter 568 Uncle Loz's Little Fanboy
Chapter 568 Uncle Loz's Little Fanboy
"Let's start in Grass Road Town, beginning with the Grass-type Gym."
Li Luochen didn't hesitate much; he already had a plan in mind.
I met the Grass-type Gym Leader, Yaro, at the opening ceremony before. He gave a very gentle impression, so he seems like a good starting point.
Moreover, judging from its attributes, it is the perfect stage for the Lace Crown King's debut performance.
"Grass Road Town, then we—" Yuri was about to finish the sentence.
Mary gently tugged at her sleeve and said calmly, "We plan to go to Waterboat Town first."
"Huh? Aren't we coming together?" Kathisia asked with some regret.
Yuri clasped her hands together and smiled apologetically, "Marily said the gym in Waterport Town would be a better fit for our team, plus it's by the sea! We'll be staying there a bit longer! See you then!"
"Okay, see you then."
After saying goodbye to Yuri and Mary, the two groups parted ways outside the arena.
Yuri walked a distance and turned back to wave several times. Mary simply raised her hand in acknowledgment before turning and joining the flow of people heading towards Water Boat Town.
Li Luochen led Katishia in the opposite direction from the station.
He originally planned to call a Steel Armored Raven taxi, but after looking at the map, he changed his mind.
Caolu Town is located to the west of Jiqing City, separated by a gentle hill and a sea of grass. The journey is not far, but taking a taxi would mean missing the scenery along the way.
"Since we've come all the way to Galar, let's walk since it's a trip," Li Luochen said to Katishia, putting the map into his pocket.
"Great! Taking a taxi is so boring." Kathia was in high spirits, the effects of last night's drinking had completely worn off.
She pulled a pair of sunglasses from her backpack and put them on her nose. Her blonde hair shone brightly in the sunlight, making her look like she was in full vacation mode.
......
The journey to Caolu Town was more complicated than I had imagined.
After leaving Machine City, the two headed west onto Route 3.
Route 3 is an open, flat grassland with a few scattered low trees along the roadside. Wild Pokémon peek out from the grass, not particularly afraid of people.
At the end of Route 3, you will reach the entrance to the Galar Mine.
This mine stretches across the plain and is the only way to the north.
The interior of the mine was carved out to be quite spacious, with old-fashioned miner's lamps hanging on both sides of the tunnel walls.
The railway tracks meandered deep into the distance, and occasionally the rumble of minecarts could be heard in the distance, mixed with the low growls of wild Rock-type Pokémon.
After passing through the mine, the sunlight shone again, and Highway 4 came into view.
The scenery here has changed again. The rolling hills are covered with golden grass, which ripples in the wind and fills the air with the scent of hay and earth.
"Hey, judging by your looks, you're also preparing to challenge the Grass Road Gym, right?"
They had just left the Galer mine.
Before Li Luochen and Katishia could even catch their breath, they were stopped by a voice.
The one who spoke was a boy standing by the mine exit, with striking short, curly, granny-gray hair.
He was wearing a pinkish-purple overcoat, the collar of which was loosely open, giving him a lazy and arrogant air, as if he didn't care about anything.
Li Luochen glanced at him and formed a general impression in his mind.
Peter, a gifted teenager who experienced a childhood tragedy and grew up in a welfare facility.
Lorze had helped him before, and Peter always remembered this kindness.
The only person in all of Galar who could possibly be of concern to this unruly young man was probably Guild Master Rose.
"I am Peter, come and fight me!"
Peter raised his chin, his tone almost provocative: "I know your recommendation letter came from President Rose, so let's prove who he recognizes as the best rookie trainer."
Kathias blinked, then leaned close to Li Luochen's ear and whispered, "Does he see you as a rival?"
Li Luochen smiled helplessly.
He could probably understand Peter's mindset.
It would be hard for anyone to be a little resentful if the president of the association, whom I have admired since childhood, suddenly had a nephew who even gave me a letter of recommendation.
But Li Luochen waved his hand and said, "You are no match for me."
This statement was not harsh; it even carried a hint of sincerity.
But to Peter, it was the most offensive provocation in the world.
He paused for a moment, then his brows furrowed, and his hand under his pinkish-purple coat clenched tightly around the Super Ball.
"What did you say?"
Peter's tone turned serious, and his lazy arrogance instantly ignited into genuine anger: "To draw conclusions before even fighting, you're really underestimating people."
"Fine, let's have a match then."
Seeing that Peter had no intention of backing down, Li Luochen didn't bother to waste any more words.
He took a Poké Ball from his waist and tossed it forward casually.
"Oli Gei Gei!"
The blue crocodile landed steadily, slapped its thick tail twice on the ground, opened its big mouth to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth, and roared with great spirit.
Peter stared at the blue crocodile for two seconds, then his arrogant smile returned: "That's more like it. Let me see just how much the person Chairman Rose values really is."
He also raised his hand and threw out his super ball.
A green Pokémon emerged from the white light, its round body bounced on the grass, and then hovered in mid-air.
Its outer layer was covered with translucent green cell fluid, and a pair of small, dark eyes darted around, curiously observing the blue crocodile opposite it.
It is indeed a single ovum!
The superpower attribute is not very high in level.
Judging from Peter's current abilities, this single oocyte should be a key member of his team, currently in the cultivation stage.
"Single ovum, use the illusion ray!" Peter fired first.
A beam of seven-colored light burst forth from the single egg cell and shot straight toward the blue crocodile.
"Blue Crocodile, crush it... never mind, just hold on."
Li Luochen originally wanted to finish the battle quickly, but he swallowed his words back.
This single-celled sphere isn't of a high level. If you were to actually bite it, the outcome would likely be decided in one bite, thus losing the fun of the battle.
The blue crocodile opened its massive jaws, a dark light swirling between its sharp teeth, and charged straight at the seven-colored illusory beam of light.
The beam of light struck its rough skin, creating several spots of light, but it didn't even flinch, taking a bite out of the round body of the single ovum.
The force of the bite was just right, neither too strong nor too weak, leaving the other unable to break free.
But the single oocyte doesn't think that way.
Even when the blue crocodile held back its strength, the force of its bite was something the blue crocodile could not easily withstand.
The single ovum's face scrunched up in pain, a muffled groan emanating from its body, and its body deflated like a punctured balloon, shrinking to almost half its original size.
It bounced twice on the ground before regaining its balance, its dark little eyes filled with tears, and it looked back at Peter pitifully.
"Damn it, it's that strong..."
