Chương 170: The Righteous Knight Carlos battles the evil Garchomp

Less than three minutes after the phone call ended, the doors of the Kanaz Enlightenment School were hurriedly pushed open.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man with a receding hairline and thick-rimmed glasses jogged out to greet them, his forehead glistening with sweat.

"Welcome, welcome! You two must be Miss Cattleya and Miss Karuni, right? I'm Kaji, the headmaster of this school. Please come in, please come in!"

Principal Kaji was so enthusiastic that he almost bowed at a 90-degree angle.

These two people in front of him are outstanding figures in their respective regions, and will at least become superstars in the future. He, a mere principal of an elementary school, dares not be negligent in the slightest.

"Click! (That was pretty fast.)" Lu Sha chuckled, one hand on his hip.

With his towering 2. 3-meter frame and Garchomp's imposingly handsome face, he swaggered to the front.

He didn't think much of it. Given Michael and Daigo's status, let alone if they wanted to visit the Enlightenment Academy, even if they wanted to visit the Devon Group headquarters, Daigo's own father would probably come to greet them.

However, the level of importance attached to it is definitely not as high as that of Principal Kaji in front of us.

As we walked further in, Principal Kaji had already begun giving a science lesson.

The school for the enlightenment was built 30 years ago, almost immediately after the alliance was established.

The purpose of a Pokémon school is to provide early Pokémon education to children aged 6-12, giving them a basic understanding of the world and Pokémon.

What? Before the age of 6? Of course, they should enjoy the joys of childhood at home.

Why study so early? The world has no shortage of scientists.

Even in elementary schools, there are no exams or further education; how much you learn depends entirely on your own interests.

After all, not knowing type advantages and disadvantages doesn't prevent you from becoming a Pokémon Master.

Upon entering the campus, a large expanse of soft artificial turf comes into view, making the scene even more vivid.

A group of children, aged six to twelve, were chasing and playing on the grassy playground.

Accompanying them were several starter Pokémon unique to the Hoenn region.

Two chattering turkeys running around, a Mudkip watering the lawn with a water gun, and a gecko posing coolly with its arms crossed.

After obtaining permission from the principal and accompanying teachers, the group began interacting with the children.

"Gardevoir, let's go together~" Karune smiled slightly and gestured for her Gardevoir to step forward.

The elegant and sophisticated Gardevoir made its appearance, its stunning figure resembling someone wearing a white evening gown, instantly captivating the attention of all the children on the playground.

"Wow! What a beautiful Pokémon!"

"Big sister, what kind of Pokémon is that? It looks like a princess!"

A little girl with pigtails and a few freckles on her face ran over boldly, looking at Gardevoir with starry eyes.

The aura of a movie queen on Karuni's face instantly faded, replaced by an unguarded gentleness.

Ignoring her expensive casual clothes, she knelt down on one knee on the lawn, looked directly into the little girl's eyes, and spoke in a voice so gentle it seemed to melt water: "Her name is Gardevoir, she's a Pokémon from the Kalos region, and she's also my best partner. Lily, you can pet her if you like."

The children had their names written on their name tags, which Karuni had noticed when she was outside.

Gardevoir obediently bent down slightly and gently took Lily's little hand.

On the other side, several turkeys and Mudkip also came over.

Karune took out snacks from her bag and distributed them to the human babies and baby Pokémon with great affection, radiating an undeniable maternal glow.

"Huh? (Why does he carry candy with him all the time...)" Seeing this, Lu Sha couldn't help but marvel.

No wonder she's a Carlos Oscar winner; she always carries around props to amuse children, and her public image is impeccable wherever she goes.

However, Lu Sha felt that Karuni simply liked children, which was why she prepared so many snacks in advance.

On the other side, watching Karuni playing with the children, Gadriya stood quietly in place, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

She never had such a carefree childhood.

In her childhood memories, there were only uncontrollable superpowers, a destroyed room, the awe and fear in her family's eyes, and endless and tedious studying.

Ordinary playmates? Laughter and joy?

These were luxuries that were once fatal to her.

It wasn't until Lu Sha came into her life that these colors finally appeared in her world.

"Click! (Hey, what are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a handsome shark before?)" Just as Gadriya was slightly lost in thought, Lu Sha's extremely penetrating scream instantly broke her thoughts.

She looked up and saw that Lu Sha had somehow walked up to the group of little boys.

A giant's stature, rough, dark blue skin, scythe-like shark blades on his arms, and a mouth full of somewhat creepy-looking sharp teeth...

Its appearance alone is incredibly intimidating.

Not to mention that Lu Sha deliberately hunched his back, making himself look like a fierce and ruthless bully.

To these children who didn't even know all the Hoenn Pokémon, Garchomp, this unfamiliar pseudo-legendary Pokémon from Sinnoh, was simply an evil monster.

"Ah!! The giant monster is coming!"

Tommy, a little boy with a buzz cut, was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, dropping his Mudskipper toy gun onto the lawn.

"Kakakaka! (That's right! I am the Great Demon King! Tremble, you little devils!)" Lu Sha laughed wildly, deliberately waving his claws, creating a slight whooshing sound, his eyes full of mischievous pleasure in teasing human cubs.

"Wow!"

This terrified the seven or eight children, who screamed and scattered in all directions.

Tommy, the fastest runner, panicked and ran headlong behind Cattleya, crying out in a trembling voice, "Pretty sister, help! A giant monster is going to eat people!"

Seeing this, the other scattered children, as if they had found a safe haven, all hid behind Cattleya and surrounded her, trembling as they watched the bully shark approach step by step.

Cattleya was stunned.

Feeling the children hiding behind her, she looked up at Lu Sha in front of her, who was baring his teeth and claws, trying his best to play the villain.

A gentle ripple spread across her emerald eyes, and her heart was filled with an indescribable warmth.

She was once regarded as a monster by those around her because of her out-of-control and dangerous superpowers.

But in reality, she was never afraid of becoming a monster, nor did she care about the fearful gaze of the world.

What she truly feared was being alone in that endless isolation and vigilance, bearing the label of being an outsider.

And now, the guy who was willing to be a monster with her, and even take the initiative to be the bully in her place, is right in front of her.

Thinking of this, Cattleya smiled.

It was a smile that truly belonged to a sixteen-year-old girl, mischievous yet radiant.

Instead of playing the role of a righteous hero who defeats the evil dragon as Lu Sha had hoped, she took a small step forward and walked to Lu Sha's side.

A deep purple aura of superpowers rose from her body.

This wasn't for defense, but rather it transformed into a dazzling display of light and shadow, like that of a dark witch, intertwining with Lu Sha's massive body.

"Sorry, little ones."

Cattleya turned her head and said in a haughty yet playful tone, "I am the master of this great monster, the evil super-powered witch."

"Click click click! (That's right! We're the villainous demon king who's here to take over this place!)" Lu Sha was stunned for a second, then cooperated with the young lady in a tacit manner, striking an extremely arrogant and athletic pose, with the dark blue dragon shadow appearing and disappearing behind him.

Since the young lady doesn't want to be a champion of justice, then they must be the best partners for the villains.

This sudden reversal left Tommy and the other children completely dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Karen, whose DNA as a Carlos Oscar winner instantly kicked in, got into character in a second.

"Don't be afraid, children!"

Karune abruptly stood up, waving one hand in mid-air as if grasping an invisible holy sword, her eyes hardening with unwavering resolve: "The righteous Knight of Kalos is here! Gardevoir, let us protect everyone!"

"Sanai!"

Gardevoir gracefully lifted her skirt, her fingertips emitting a soft yet dazzling psychic glow, like a true holy mage.

A grand yet utterly harmless battle between good and evil officially began on the playground. Neither side used any destructive techniques.

The young lady simply used her telekinetic powers to swirl up the falling leaves, weaving a magnificent purple storm in mid-air.

Lu Sha then lightly patted the ground with his thick soles, creating a slight vibration and a sandstorm effect, just like a giant apocalyptic dragon from an epic movie making its appearance.

Faced with the special effects attacks of the evil forces, Karune and Gardevoir cooperated perfectly.

Karuni dodged non-existent damage with exaggerated and cool movements.

Gardevoir used Teleport to carry several children across the lawn, occasionally unleashing dazzling Shadow Balls that illuminated the entire playground like magical fireworks.

But as the fight went on, the style of the game gradually changed.

Tommy, who had been hiding behind Karune, stared wide-eyed at the Garchomp opposite him, which was roaring amidst the falling leaves and purple light with its arms outstretched.

For a little boy, a righteous knight is certainly cool, but a domineering dragon is simply the ultimate romance for men.

"That giant monster is so cool!"

Tommy finally couldn't hold back and defected on the spot. He toddled over to Lu Sha's feet and hugged his thick leg tightly: "Great Demon King! I want to join the evil legion too!"

"Me too! I want to be a little monster too!"

"Witch, please take me with you!"'

"" The evil spirits within the boys were ignited, and one after another they betrayed their side, excitedly running to Lu Sha and Gadria, making faces at the little girls on Karuni's side.

"Click! (Excellent! Evil Dragon Legion, charge!)" With a wave of his hand, Lu Sha led a group of rebellious children in a massive all-out attack on Karuni.

Cattleya used her gentle telekinetic powers to lift up several slow-running little boys, letting them experience the joy of low-altitude flight.

Throughout the entire process, she laughed heartily, having long since shed her usual aloof and noble young lady persona.

"Damn it! They've actually bewitched my knights!"

Karune was completely immersed in her role. Facing the charging children, she struck an extremely magnificent final battle pose: "Gardedor, unleash your final Holy Light!"

"Sanai!"

Gardevoir's fingertips emitted the most dazzling purple light, exploding harmlessly in the sky above the playground like fireworks, turning into colorful specks of light that scattered down.

"Click! (Ah! I'm so unwilling... Justice is so powerful...)" With exaggerated acting, Lu Sha clutched his chest, and under the children's incredulous gazes, his massive body collapsed onto the soft lawn with a "thud," like a mountain falling over, even sticking out half of his tongue in perfect coordination.

"Ah! The Demon King has been defeated!"

"Witch, let's surrender!"

Upon seeing Lu Sha fall to the ground, Tommy and his men, who had recently defected, trembled instantly and hastily surrendered.

Cattleya also withdrew her telekinesis, leaned against Lu Sha, and pretended to helplessly raise her hands, but a smile she couldn't suppress lingered on her lips: "Knight of Justice, you win."

"Yay!! We won!"

On the playground, whether they were playing the side of justice or the little traitors of the evil legion, they all cheered and jumped together.

Seeing this, Karuni smiled sincerely and walked over to Gadria and Lu Sha, reaching out to help them up: "Jiajia, Lu Sha, I didn't realize you two were so happy to mingle with the children."

She really likes children, but she always felt that given Cattleya and Lu Sha's personalities, they shouldn't like them that much.

"No, that's not true."

With a bright smile on her face, Gadri refused Karuni's offer of help.

Instead, she lazily curled up in Lu Sha's arms, completely unconcerned about what others thought: "It's because I like Lu Sha, and I like the feeling of playing with Lu Sha, that I feel happy."

"Seriously, you two have such a good relationship."

Karuni withdrew her hand and covered her forehead, revealing a helpless smile.

To be honest, very few trainers are this attached to their Pokémon.

She realized that rather than calling Gadriya a trainer, Lu Sha was more like the trainer who was tolerant and caring towards her.

"Of course!"

Caldelia readily admitted it, her eyes filled with a touch of intoxicated longing.

For her, no matter what she does, what matters is not the thing itself, but the experience she has spent with Lu Sha.

As long as Lu Sha is there, even if they play monsters together and are defeated by justice, she would be happy to do so.

"You're acting like a child. Okay, Lily and the others are calling me. You can just lie here."

Karuni smiled and shook her head, not continuing to persuade them, but instead turning back to join the children's laughter.

Laughter and cheers continued to echo across the entire playground of the Kanaz Enlightenment Academy.

This time, their visit was devoid of any lectures from powerful figures, dry explanations of Pokémon, or the self-awareness expected of top trainers.

Having cast aside all identities and strengths, all that remains is the purest and happiest beauty of being with children.
