Chương 99: I want both!

"It seems there are some smart people in Carlos after all."

Gadriya glanced at Yan Kai: "With your current strength, it will be difficult to form an alliance within 2-3 years. In fact, whether or not an alliance is formed is not the key; the key is whether you have the matching strength."

I agree with that.

"In the regional conflict hundreds of years ago, Galar was utterly defeated by us, Carlos," said Zimi.

"But with Galar's current strength, even if they hadn't formed an alliance, the alliance would be begging them to join."

"So, you mean we'll support you for the next two years, and once you've matured, you can lead Carlos to form an alliance?"

Yan Kai rubbed his chin with his right hand, his gaze lowered, trying to understand.

If Cattleya is willing to lead Carlos, he would wholeheartedly agree.

In the future, when Karune also grows up, the two champions of the Carlos region may not be as strong as the Kanto region, but they will definitely surpass the Galar region in all aspects.

"Why are we so fixated on forming an alliance? Wouldn't it be better for Sinnoh and Kalos to merge and gang up on other regions?"

Lu Shatu revealed his true intentions and put forward his own ideas.

Only children make choices; he wants both!

He wanted Carlos, and he didn't want to let Sinnoh go either.

"No way! If we do that, Carlos will never be able to turn things around!"

For Yan Kai to have Carlos form an alliance is his obsession. Lu Sha's statement is undoubtedly a recurring theme in his minefield.

"Kanto is not just a region. Although Kanto and Johto are on the same continent, its area is comparable to Sinnoh and Kalos combined," Lu Sha reminded him.

"Area? Hmm... There has been talk lately that the Kanto region is too strong, so other alliances are making the Johto region independent, separating them from the Kanto region and forming two regional alliances."

A hint of realization crossed Shimi's eyes: "You mean, our two regions should unite, like Kanto did, change the Sinnoh League to the Sinnoh Kalos League, and then face the rest of the world together?"

"That's right, so what's your opinion? Once we become Sinnoh Champions, we can officially implement it. I'm also familiar with the future Sinnoh Elite Four."

Lu Sha frankly stated that this was his plan.

He's really not familiar with Kanto, Hoenn, or other regions, and he'd never encounter them.

They have a strong foundation, and it's not his place to get involved.

In comparison, Carlos, who hasn't yet formed an alliance, is the most suitable person for him to reach out.

This is the perfect time.

He and the young lady haven't matured yet, and they need Carlos's timely help.

The Carlos Alliance has not yet been established, and they are in dire need of help.

"It's an interesting idea, but there's a problem." Zimi didn't deny the suggestion, but still had a concern: "All of this is based on the premise that you become the Sinnoh Champion."

"No, you're wrong. Whether I become the champion or not will not affect the process of regional merger."

Lu Sha knew that these people were already tempted, so he pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "On the contrary, if you are strong enough, you should hope that Sinnoh is weaker so that you can have more initiative. Conversely, if you are not strong enough, you should join forces with Sinnoh as soon as possible. This is better than being bullied by all the regions at once."

"We are the weak. If we don't stick together for warmth, we will only be bullied by more people."

This is a vast world. While individual power is indeed great, each continent is thousands of kilometers apart, and each continent covers at least a million square kilometers.

Lu Sha has no intention of becoming the world's king. He's quite comfortable in Sinnoh right now and has a good impression of the place.

In the days to come, he would accompany the young lady on her travels to all corners of the world, to experience more of life's joys and sorrows.

But Sinnoh is their base, and since it's their home, they have to make a name for themselves.

At the very least, the World Championship that Ash will participate in 8 years from now must be held in Sinnoh!

After much deliberation, Carlos and his group finally accepted Lu Sha's idea.

Circumstances dictate that there is no hope of establishing a Carlos alliance within the next two years.

Although the title of Sinnoh Subordinate sounds awful, it's still better than being bullied by the whole world.

Moreover, Lu Sha is right.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

Without matching strength, even forming an alliance won't get back what Carlos lost.

Reality has proven this point.

Even with all his cards on the table, Vladali was ultimately defeated by Dorasena at her peak.

Even though the ace Flame Lion possessed Champion-level combat power and defeated its opponent's Noisy Dragon, it still fell to the might of Dorasena's other Champion-level Hydreigon.

Seeing that Dorasena had brought out two genuine Champion-level mainstays, one of which was a pseudo-god from Unova, Carlos and his group fell silent.

"Are all the Elite Four level trainers in Sinnoh only allowed to be teachers at the academy?" Shimi couldn't help but find it absurd.

"Teaching is a joy. Even if Mr. Shimi becomes one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, he probably won't give up his identity as a chef, right?"

Lu Sha responded casually, his gaze falling on Dorasena, who was enjoying the cheers in the arena, just like Gadriya's.

Sure enough, this woman is terrifyingly strong.

The young lady has a long way to go to truly defeat the other party.

With both matches concluded, Sinnoh emerged victorious.

This was not only a crushing defeat in terms of strength, but also a satisfying counterattack.

A few months ago, Zhuqing Academy was eliminated in the quarterfinals, and Sinnoh was ridiculed by Carlos netizens. Sinnoh people still remember this.

Now that Gadriya has emerged out of nowhere, even more stunning than the previous academy's top student, Wu Song, this boomerang has finally been thrown back solidly.

"Tsk tsk, look at these comments, netizens are all starting to look forward to Jiajia's performance in the Academy Cup."

That evening, in the 30th-floor common lounge, Prantina affectionately linked arms with Cattleya as they read the comments with great interest.

"Jiajia? When did your relationship suddenly progress so much?" Pal looked at the two women sitting side by side with a strange expression.

"Hmph, this is girls' friendship, you wouldn't understand! From today onwards, Jiajia is the person I admire most!" Prantina declared confidently.

"Click? (What about me?)" Lu Sha nestled in the single sofa, watching this scene with amusement.

Even Plantina was impressed, which shows how popular the young lady is now.

Walking through Zhuqing City now, you're surrounded by countless suitors. Some want to befriend you, some ask for autographs, some challenge you to a fight, and some even boast about wanting to keep a rich girl as their sugar daddy.

It's true that fame brings trouble.

If he hadn't chased her away quickly, and if the young lady had gone berserk, it would have caused a bloodbath.

"You?" Plantina understood Lu Sha's meaning, and turned her head away haughtily.

"You bastard Lu Sha, if you don't apologize to me, you'll never gain my approval in this lifetime!"

"Click! (Do as you please!)" Lu Sha chuckled, leaped into the air, and slowly swayed towards the dormitory.

The moment he moved, Cattleya seemed to trigger some kind of follow mechanism, instantly getting up and following him, her gaze not even lingering on Plantina for half a second.

"Aaaaah! You bastard Lu Sha, give Jiajia back to me!"

The only response to that furious roar was the door that slammed shut.

"Pfft!"

Seeing this, Pal and the others could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
