Chương 105: If only he were my grandfather

After finalizing the details of their collaboration with Vladali, Lu Sha and Cattleya nodded slightly to Zhimi, who was guarding the door, and then left.

Zimi watched the man and the shark disappear at the end of the guesthouse corridor before turning back to Vladali's room.

"Vladali, how did your talks go?"

"We talked about the future of the region." Vladali shook his head, his expression complicated.

"They... are even more extreme than I am."

He roughly recounted Lu Sha's shocking remarks.

"If she truly has the potential to support Carlos and is willing to be a protector of this land, then giving her those resources is fine. As for extremes..."

Zimi raised his head and gave Vladali a deep look.

Based on his intuition, Lu Sha and Cattleya were definitely not the kind of bloodthirsty madmen.

The reason for making such extreme statements was probably to take drastic measures to pull Vladali out of his rut.

But before he could finish speaking, Zimi changed his tune: "I think Carlos needs someone like that. We've all been too kind."

"Heh, now we'll see how they succeed in Sinnoh. We're willing to bet on her because she can lead Carlos to a better future. But their rise might not be a good thing for some people in Sinnoh." A faint smile appeared on Fladali's lips.

"Let's wait and see. We can offer some resources, but they have to walk their own path. If they run into obstacles here, they can always come to Carlos to be crowned king."

After confirming that Vladali's mindset had stabilized, Zimi exchanged a few words with him and then took his leave.

After he left, other members of Carlos's exchange group also came to visit him.

After being betrayed by those he had helped, the concern of his companions allowed Vladali's parched heart to once again feel the warmth of humanity.

This further solidified his belief.

Lu Sha's ideas were too extreme, and he had to correct them.

A world where everyone does good is certainly wonderful, and Vladali would dedicate his entire life to striving for it.

However, we must never use a method that destroys everything.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for the Carlos exchange group to set off for their return.

Today is also the last day of the exchange match.

During this period, besides Lu Sha, the person who had the most frequent contact with Carlos and his group was Dorasena.

This was not her own idea, but rather, through Lu Sha's introduction, Dorasena officially became his and the young lady's representative of interests in Carlos.

This is a win-win situation.

Dorasena gained abundant resources to break through her bottleneck, and Carlos acquired a powerful ally who was about to become a top-tier player. Meanwhile, Lu Sha also placed his own team on the other side of the ocean.

Carlos is a good person, Dorasena is a bad person.

But Lu Sha trusts Dora Sena more.

Even Cattleya, who had threatened to hang Dorasena up and beat her to a pulp, agreed with this.

Inside the private box in Zhuqing City, facing off against the enemy.

"Hehe, Little Sasa is so thoughtful! I was just worrying about how I could be taking advantage of the Sinnoh League while also searching for a breakthrough opportunity. Now, it's perfect—I have both the resources and the time!"

Dora Sena clung to Lu Sha like a piece of chewing gum that wouldn't budge, her cheeks rubbing against his dark red chest.

Beside her, Gadriya stared intently at her, her eyes flashing intensely with blue light, and her terrifying psychic power stirred up invisible storms in the private room.

However, Dorasena withstood this terrifying psychic power, holding Lu Sha's arms tightly with both hands, preventing him from moving an inch.

Karuni stood to the side, her hands dangling in mid-air, her face full of embarrassment, unsure whether to go forward or retreat.

As soon as they pushed open the door to the private room, Dora Sena pounced on them like a hungry tiger, completely suppressing Lu Sha. Even Gadria's superpowers couldn't break through her defenses.

"Click! (Get out of the way!)" Lu Sha struggled frantically.

How can this woman have such a strong grip? Is she some kind of superhuman?

He couldn't guarantee that Dora Sena would be alright if they kept hugging like this, but the young lady, who was on the verge of a rampage, was likely to tear down the private room.

"Hehe, Catharia, how have you been lately!"

Knowing when to stop, Dorasena abruptly released Lu Sha and quickly moved closer to Cattleya.

She completely ignored the violent psychic field around her and pulled Cattleya's tall, slender body into her arms.

Catherine froze abruptly from the sudden dragon embrace.

This was the first time in her life that someone had been so close to her.

The powerful blue light in her eyes, capable of destroying reinforced concrete, instantly dissipated in fright. Like a startled cat, her eyes drifted helplessly towards Lu Sha for help.

"Click! (What are you doing! Let go! Let go!)" Lu Sha rolled his eyes inwardly, his massive body suddenly slicing in and shielding his young mistress behind him.

That woman is absolutely wicked!

Don't think he didn't see it; the moment Dorasena hugged the young lady, she gave him a provocative look.

What? After admiring the young lady's adorable angry face, do you also want to see his jealous and protective reaction?

"How boring, he won't even give me a hug."

Dorasena pursed her lips, but her eyes sparkled as she scanned back and forth between Cattleya and Lu Sha, a nearly maniacal auntie smile playing on her lips.

"Cut! (Teacher, please tone it down a bit!)" In Lu Sha's view, as long as she's not on the teaching and combat stage, Dorasena is completely unrelated to the word "normal".

Fortunately, Dorasena wasn't truly insane; she just enjoyed performing elaborate tricks.

After witnessing Lu Sha and Gadriya's helpless expressions, she felt satisfied.

"Hehe, kids should smile more, don't always have a cold face!"

Dora Sena, with her hands behind her back, reached out and touched the heads of the human and the shark.

This time, neither the man nor the shark put up a fight.

Dorasena immediately separated from the fight, looking out the window: "Alright, the battle is about to begin. Take a good look at this feast of combat prepared for you."

As her voice fell.

"Wow!!!"

Suddenly, a tsunami of cheers erupted outside the window.

"Grandpa's coming in!"

Cynthia, who had been hiding on the sofa by the window like a ghost, suddenly had her eyes light up and stood up abruptly.

"Click! (Watch the game!)" Lu Sha took the opportunity to pull the just-recovered Gadria to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the two Elite Four level trainers entering the arena.

Today is the final battle for the Carlos exchange team.

Goose Armor versus Mustard Bamboo King.

After Lu Sha expressed his intention to unite the region to the old king, Jie Zizhu not only readily agreed, but also, despite not yet fully recovered, traveled a long distance from Shenhe Town to Zhuqing City.

Nominally, it was a training battle with Yan Kai, but Lu Sha knew exactly what was going on.

The old man was probably using the competition as an excuse to visit his granddaughter.

On the field, the cheers for Mustard Bamboo King's appearance were no less enthusiastic than when Cattleya took the stage that day.

However, amidst this deafening roar, there were some discordant noises.

Harsh boos and foul insults mingled with the cheers.

Ironically, all of this malice came from Sinnoh's local audience.

At the recent World Championships, the Mustard Bamboo King, though defeated, fought with honor and heroism.

But a loss is a loss.

On the competitive stage, being bad is the original sin.

There are always some people who never look at how much blood you bleed, only at the scoreboard results.

In their eyes, the defeat of Mustard Bamboo was a disgrace to Sinnoh, a place where no one else could play.

However, they selectively forgot that it was this old man who defeated all the Sinnoh challengers, confronted Professor Oak and gained his approval, which ultimately led to the formation of the Sinnoh League.

It could even be said that without the Mustard Bamboo, Sinnoh would be no different from Kalos.

Even today, the Mustard Bamboo Elite Four remains Sinnoh's strongest force, symbolizing the pinnacle of Sinnoh.

It's just that this peak is a bit weaker than the peaks of other alliance regions.

"The Mustard Bamboo King is a senior figure worthy of everyone's respect. It's unbelievable that just one defeat would cause his reputation among the Sinnoh people to become so terrible."

Karuni sighed softly and slowly walked to Lu Sha and Gadriya's side, her gaze complex as she looked down at the slightly hunched but still vigorous old man with firm steps.

She also watched the live broadcast of the World Championships.

When the competition ended, she sat in front of the screen with tears streaming down her face.

She didn't know if she would ever have the chance to stand on that stage that symbolized the pinnacle of the world.

But when she saw the old man collapse onto the battle stage, she felt as if she were seeing her future self.

For the land that nurtured them, for that faith that concerned only honor, they were willing to risk their lives to fight.

If one day she could stand there, she would surely, like this old man, burn with all her might to fight for victory.

At the time, while many keyboard warriors on Carlos's online community were mocking Sinnoh's decline, the mainstream opinion was still full of admiration.

Because they are mired in the mire, the people of Carlos yearn more than anyone else for a hero to step forward and stand in their way.

Unfortunately, Mustard Bamboo is a Shin'oku person.

"Actually, Grandpa's reputation isn't that bad." Cynthia shook her head gently, her eyes focused on the scene below.

"It's just that the World Championships just ended a few days ago, and this coaching match was free, which attracted those haters who specifically wanted to see him make a fool of himself."

"If only he were my grandfather, born in Carlos," Karuni murmured softly, gazing at the figure below.

Cynthia turned her head sharply: "???"

Cynthia glared at Karen.

Over the past few days, their relationship has progressed rapidly, and they have even become as close as sisters.

But one thing is one thing, and sisters are sisters. How can you steal my grandfather right in front of me?!

"Click-clack! (The match is about to begin.)" Watching the childish interaction between the two future champions, Lu Sha almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Sha takes a very open-minded view of the current situation of Mustard Bamboo.

Even with the universally loved Alliance Coin, there are always a few people who have to jump out and say, "I have no interest in money," let alone a living, breathing person.

They are willing to fight for those who firmly support them, and that support still represents the voice of the vast majority in the region.

For a trainer, this is already a happy thing enough.
