Chương 108: The King Does Not Meet the King

"Click! (Awesome!)" Lu Sha struggled for a long time, and even though he prided himself on his literary talent, at this moment, his meager vocabulary only had these two words left.

It's too cruel.

In just five moves, the five Elite Four level Pokémon, all at their peak, fell one after another, without even a chance to struggle.

The visual impact of one shot killing one child is simply akin to a dimensional reduction attack.

Even more outrageous, the man named Yan Kai, who was publicly executed, stood there stunned for a moment before respectfully bowing to Jie Zizhu.

So, after being thoroughly humiliated, you're expected to sincerely thank them?

Lu Sha had no way of knowing what Yan Kai had learned from those five moves, but he himself had benefited greatly.

"Click! (Old foxes are spicier; this is the ultimate level of showing off. I've learned something new!)" Listening to the thunderous applause and cheers erupting in the stadium, Lu Sha sighed with emotion.

"Hmph, those haters were just making insulting gestures, and now they have the nerve to yell so loudly!"

Cynthia beside him was still gritting her teeth and muttering to herself.

Clearly, she cared more about those little black guys who switched sides on the spot than about that battle that would go down in history.

Lu Sha was speechless, but what could she do when the other woman was the granddaughter of a Heavenly King?

For him, this was the first time he had witnessed a live battle between Champion-level Pokémon, and the Champion's one-sided slaughter of the Elite Four.

But for Cynthia, this is probably just an ordinary part of her daily life.

"Grandpa Mustard Bamboo seems to be even stronger than before."

Dorasena gazed at the arena, letting out a long sigh, her eyes revealing a hint of joy and blessing.

"Click! (If you call him grandpa, then Cynthia has to call you 'sister,' right? Also, how did you figure out the trick behind this screen-filling instant kill?)" Lu Sha expressed his doubts.

Is this the perspective of a top-tier player?

The problem is that Dorasena is still stuck in a bottleneck period and has not yet truly crossed that threshold.

As far as he knew, Dorasena was currently in a state where quantity had overflowed, but quality had not yet undergone a qualitative change.

"My grandparents and Grandpa Mustard Bamboo were old friends. If I were a boy, we might have been betrothed since birth. According to seniority, Cynthia should indeed call me 'older sister'."

Dorasena chuckled, but she was clearly not very interested in Cynthia, still staring intently at Lu Sha: "If you had met Grandpa Mustard Bamboo before, you would have noticed this incongruity. He used to be like a towering ancient tree, full of vitality. But now, his aura exudes a strong sense of stagnation."

"Crack! (According to you, the old king not only didn't get stronger, but he's about to die?)" Lu Sha rolled her eyes.

The transition from vitality to stagnation doesn't sound like a good omen.

"Oh dear, it's different now. The essence of the Grass element is endless life, an evolution of alternating flourishing and decay. That waning aura isn't his own decay, but rather the deathly stillness emanating from his field. In short, his current level is higher."

After explaining for a while, Dorasena herself realized it was a bit convoluted, so she simply waved her hand and said no more.

Lu Sha was also confused and didn't take it to heart.

The realm of metaphysics at the champion level is far too distant for him right now.

Moreover, since a Heavenly King-level being can forcibly comprehend the origin of attributes, a Champion-level being can naturally learn the domain through their own efforts.

They may not be good at other things, but they are good at self-effort.

With his diligent assistance, and given her young mistress's quick thinking, her future path will only be smoother than that of Mustard Bamboo.

It will never be like the old Elite Four member, who was stuck at the Elite Four level and fought alone with only one Champion Pokémon.

Seeing Lu Sha get up as if to leave, Dorasena paused for a moment: "Aren't you going to see Yan Kai and Grandpa Jie Zizhu together later?"

"Click! (Gone. It's not time for a king to meet another king.)" Lu Sha shook his head, gracefully took Jia Deliya's hand, and walked straight towards the exit.

These days, when we meet, all we get are a few polite words of advice from our elders; we don't get any real benefits.

Moreover, they have chosen completely different paths. Rather than following the path of Mustard Bamboo, he might as well go to Sakaki to ask about the future.

If we were to meet again, it would either be for help in a crisis, or it would be the ultimate showdown in the Heavenly King Challenge.

They are still little Karamis now, but in a few months, things will be different.

"By the way, are you leaving school tomorrow too?" Dorasena asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, even Cynthia shifted her gaze, clearly hearing it for the first time as well.

After today, Cynthia will once again embark on her training journey to Mount Crown.

This time, she will bring her grandfather's main force with her along with Regirock, and she will never be in such a sorry state as last time that she needed Cattleya to save the day.

"Click! (Yeah, you're going back to Carlos for training, are we still going to stay in school and retire?)" Lu Sha shrugged.

After his battle with Karuni, he and Gadriya became true superstars at the academy.

Wherever you go, you will be surrounded by countless complex gazes.

Most importantly, those gazes were not all friendly worship.

Caldelia's telepathic abilities were as sharp as radar. If they stayed here any longer, Lu Sha was afraid that if she didn't do something right, she might wipe out all the students.

They might be lawless outside, but on campus, he planned to restrain himself a bit.

This trip to Sinnoh allowed him to visit eight gyms, giving him a taste of what it's like to be a proper trainer.

"Hehehe, how about you come on a trip to Carlos with your sister?" Dorasena invited, her eyes narrowed.

"Cut! (No thanks, I can't handle that!)" Lu Sha shook his head vigorously. If they really traveled together, his young mistress would probably fight with Dora Sena every day.

"Click! (See you at the World Academy Cup in two months, everyone!)" See you at the World Academy Cup.

Cynthia smiled and waved gently. She could tell that Lu Sha's words included her as well.

In two months, although he may not be able to catch up with those geniuses who have been ahead for several years, there is absolutely no problem for him to enter the school team's echelon.

At that time, she will stand beside Cattleya again with a brand new look, fighting alongside her.

"See you at the World Academy Cup. We'll be rivals again then."

Karune nodded gracefully, her eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

"Until then, my Gardevoir will become even more troublesome than it is now."

With two months and guidance from Yan Kai and others, Gardevoir has enough time to truly enter the Hall of Fame of Champions.

Bye-bye, see you next time!

Dora Sena waved goodbye with a smile, watching the perfectly coordinated pair of humans and sharks disappear into the far end of the private room.

She had a strong premonition.

Two months from now, on that stage, this duo will shake the world.
