Chương 143: We're at most villainous supporting characters

"Crack! Crack! (Damalanzang, I'll fucking fuck your grandpa!)" Lu Sha's face turned ashen, and he began to curse, using the same vulgar language as the previous Mai Ye Tian Wang.

What a terrible gift!

This is clearly someone deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Is this a trap?

Looking at the Pokémon egg in front of her, Gadria turned her head slightly and said telepathically: The egg is real, and it contains extremely high levels of life energy; it is definitely not an ordinary Fiona egg.

"? The young lady actually knows about Fiona?"

Phiona is a descendant of Manaphy, and is just an ordinary Pokémon. Apart from being relatively rare, it is not as good as Marill in other aspects.

Lu Sha was only slightly surprised for a moment, then explained: The egg is definitely real; this is a conspiracy orchestrated by those bastards. Manaphy is a complete disaster; whoever hatches it is doomed. If you dare to harm or bully it, the consequences will only be worse.

"Can't we just not take it?" the young lady asked, slightly puzzled.

Of course! But this egg just happened to be found at the bottom of Lake Lizhi. If we wait for Mikeli to come down and take it away, those people will definitely spread the news everywhere.

How will the outside world portray us then?

The story goes that Team Galactic orchestrated a terrorist attack at Lake Shichibukai in an attempt to steal Manaphy's egg. We, however, entered the lake's depths with Elite Four member Wheatgrass's trust, only to end up handing over this precious egg to the Hoenn region?

"Considering our relationship with the Carlos region, with their exaggerated propaganda, we might end up being branded as traitors to Sinnoh," Lu Sha couldn't help but complain wildly.

These days, it's so hard to be a good person and behave peacefully.

If he didn't want the young lady to be criticized, he would have flipped the table and become the villain.

Let them say what they want.

Cattleya didn't take it seriously.

She never paid any attention to the rumors and gossip.

Anyway, the blame is being directed at her, and it won't affect Lu Sha.

"How can that be! We haven't done anything wrong, we haven't gained anything from it, why should we take the blame and be scolded for others!"

Lu Sha's shark-like eyes widened, and he refused to budge an inch on this matter.

If the public opinion is only directed at him, he won't bother with it at all.

Anyway, he's not human, so it doesn't matter how much dirt people throw at him.

But calling her "Young Miss" is unacceptable!

Before she met him, the young lady was always secretly regarded as an out-of-control monster.

Now that I'm with him, if I have to suffer grievances and be pointed at by others, wouldn't it be a waste of time to follow him?

"So what should we do?"

Cattleya blinked gently.

Although she didn't try to read Lu Sha's mind, she still felt Lu Sha's protectiveness towards her, which warmed her heart.

Since they dared to use bait, let's go all out and see who's more embarrassed. But before that, we need to get past this hurdle first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Sha and Gadriya looked up almost simultaneously.

From the direction they came from, a huge, blood-stained snake-like shadow fell from above and entered the crystal space.

As it fell, a strong stench of blood immediately filled the enclosed space, with the remains of some unknown Pokémon scattered around.

Mikoli has arrived!

However, at this moment, Mikoli's appearance was hardly respectable.

His magnificent clothes were now soaked with dirt and blood, and his once handsome profile was stained with blood clots, making him look extremely disheveled and disturbing.

"This is so ugly! These heartless lunatics!"

Mikoli cursed through gritted teeth, quickly directing Milotic to create a gentle stream of water to wash away the grime from both of them.

Lu Sha and the others stood quietly at a distance, watching the disheveled Hoenn visitor.

"If we hide this egg, we can avoid unnecessary conflict, right?" the young lady silently suggested to herself.

"That's certainly possible. But since they've already thrown the bait in our faces, and we're not some upright protagonist like Cynthia, we might as well play along for the bigger prize." Lu Sha let out a wicked chuckle.

"What would a protagonist do in this situation?" Cattleya's curiosity was piqued.

"If it were a protagonist with good intentions, the Red Sun would never have told us about this egg beforehand. Instead, the protagonist and Mikey would have discovered it together while exploring the bottom of the lake," Lu Sha said with certainty.

"So what is our current situation?" Cattleya asked, even more curious.

"Good question!"

Lu Sha chuckled mischievously: We're like the villainous supporting character who's just gotten the key item and is about to be humiliated by the protagonist. Look, the protagonist's here right now!

Not far away, Mikoli, having washed off the filth on her body, was walking briskly toward them.

At first, when he saw Gardner and Lu Sha clearly, he managed to force a smile and even waved in their direction.

As the distance closed, the smile on Mikuri's face gradually froze, and his gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, fell on the Pokémon egg that Lu Sha was holding.

"Miss Cattleya, it's a pleasure to catch up with you. May I ask where you obtained this egg?"

Mikoli took a deep breath, trying her best to keep her tone calm.

The people of Liuli were once the people of water, a branch that separated from them.

Manaphy's status in their hearts is almost equivalent to Rayquaza in the hearts of the Meteor Clan, or Ho-Oh in the eyes of the Bell Tower monks.

Although the people of Liuli may not necessarily regard Manafi as a deity, it remains a totem and symbol of faith passed down through generations of the entire tribe.

What's even more crucial is that Manaphy is one of a kind in the world.

Once taken away by Cattleya, the Hoenn region and the Water People may lose Manaphy forever.

What do you think?

Cattleya narrowed her eyes, her tone instantly turning icy.

Under the perception of a superhuman, Mikoli's turbulent thoughts had nowhere to hide.

The other party's idea is very simple.

Peaceful negotiation is best, and the other party is willing to pay any price.

But if they don't give it to me, I plan to decide ownership through trainer battles.

This approach, to put it nicely, is called negotiation.

To put it bluntly, it's not much different from extortion.

"It seems it was found at the bottom of Lake Shichi. I never imagined that Manaphy's egg would end up here." Mikuri muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This doesn't make any sense. This isn't Hoenn, and it's not near the sea, so why would Manaphy's egg be at the bottom of an inland lake..."

The usually composed Mikoli was now completely flustered.

Manaphy's involvement is so vast that even Mikkelsen couldn't remain calm.

This is the Mythical Pokémon of Hoenn, and he has a reason to get his hands on it.
