Chapter 419 You're not planning to trick me into going to Pallet Town and then hand me over to
"Here's the thing, to become my partner these days, strength is a must. And you can't just be a figurehead. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Li Luochen said to Latios.
"Wu?"
Latios was quick-witted. These past few days, he had traveled to various places and witnessed many trainers capturing Pokémon, as well as many people who used the guise of "tests" to ask for benefits.
As soon as Li Luochen said those words, it knew what was going on.
This is a wake-up call for myself!
So it silently floated to Li Luochen's side, used its telekinetic power to gently move something, and handed it to him.
Li Luochen looked down and his vision went black.
It felt heavy in his palm, and the golden light almost blinded him—it was a huge golden bead.
What is Latios thinking?
Am I the kind of greedy person?
Li Luochen remained expressionless and subtly tucked the gold beads into his robes.
Latios is so socially adept!
Li Luochen remained outwardly calm, but his mind was racing.
Offering gold coins to everyone you meet—this behavior doesn't seem like that of a wild legendary Pokémon; it's more like that of a seasoned veteran honed in some treacherous place.
I should take it and give it a good talking-to.
Otherwise, if they just throw money at whatever happens in the future, that's not a good sign and could lead to trouble.
Yes, that's right, that's exactly it.
It was definitely not because of that golden bead.
"Sigh, you little rascal, I just can't do anything with you. Here's what we'll do, you stay with me for the next few days, let me teach you a lesson."
Li Luochen took out a Poké Ball.
"Whoosh!" (Yay!)
Latios nudged itself into the Poké Ball with a slight headbutt and immediately stopped shaking.
Catch one Pokémon +1
"Hmm, I've caught Latios! It's a pity it's only a Gym Leader level. If it were a Champion level, it could be used for the upcoming Gym battles."
There are already enough Gym-level Pokémon in the gym, and Li Luochen plans to use Latios to guard the gate.
That's right, he was guarding the gate with Regigigas.
After all, sometimes when Li Luochen passed by the dojo entrance and looked at the lonely Regigigas statue standing there, he always felt that it was like a statue that had been forgotten to be moved.
We should at least find Regigigas a companion.
However, on the other hand, Regigigas had previously told itself that it wanted to create a few toilet (crossed out) pillar Pokémon to serve as security guards in the gyms, while it would be the security captain.
So far, Regigigas hasn't created anything yet.
Sigh, with this kind of efficiency, I don't know when we'll be able to sculpt one.
If all else fails, I might as well find some legendary Pokémon to join it in guarding the gate.
If others knew what Li Luochen was thinking at this moment, they would probably curse him out.
There's no way around it; ordinary trainers would find it difficult to even encounter a legendary Pokémon, let alone capture one.
Some people spend their entire lives without ever seeing a mythical beast in the news more than a few times.
But this guy, finding the number of mythical beasts too large, assigned them to guard the gate.
They even threatened to capture a few to keep Regigigas company.
Is there no law left?
Is there any reason?
"Luo Chen~ mua~"
Just as Li Luochen was pondering, Bi Lan pounced on him from behind, wrapped her arms around his neck, and hung on his back, planting a kiss on his cheek without warning.
The movements were fluid and seamless, clearly indicating that he had done this kind of thing to Li Luochen quite often.
Li Luochen staggered forward half a step after being bumped by her. Before he could say anything, he felt a slight lightness in his pocket.
It felt as if something had been quietly taken away, and even that small piece of fabric trembled.
"Hey, you just swiped that huge golden bead I just got, all shiny and clean?"
Li Luochen felt around for a moment and found that the zipper of the pocket had been unzipped at some point, and the big, golden bead was gone, replaced by a similarly sized stone.
"What golden pearl? I don't know~"
Azure slid off his back, took two steps back, and looked at him with a smile, her hands behind her back, a flash of gold between her fingers.
"Give it to me!"
Li Luochen reacted swiftly, grabbing Bi Lan's wrist from behind her back, and gently hooking it with two fingers.
The huge, gleaming golden bead slipped through his fingers and landed steadily back in his hand.
The movements were swift and decisive, even faster than when Azure stole it.
"You little rascal, how come your hands are so fast?"
Li Luochen weighed the golden pearl in his hand, looking at Bilan with a tone that carried three parts helplessness, three parts doting, and four parts smugness.
"Waaah...you're bullying me!"
Azure immediately objected, spreading her hands, pouting, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Looking at his aggrieved little face, anyone who saw it would think that Li Luochen had done something utterly unforgivable.
"You...you promised to give me the money, why are you going back on your word now?"
She became more and more upset as she spoke, her voice trembling with tears, but if you listened closely, there was no emotion in her sobs; it was dry and lifeless, purely a result of poor acting skills.
"I haven't changed my mind."
Li Luochen put the gold beads into his inner pocket and patted it to make sure the zipper was closed, in case Bilan snatched them away again.
"This isn't money, it's gold. Gold, not Union currency."
Azure's sobbing abruptly stopped: "You bastard Li Luochen!"
"There's something even worse."
Li Luochen smiled wickedly.
"What...what are you going to do?!"
"That's right!"
......
......
"I heard you're going to Guandu to see Shiying beat up the ashes, right? Hmm~ Waaah~"
"Gulp...cough cough...at least let me finish what I have to say!"
In the bedroom, Bilan knelt on the floor, looking up at Li Luochen, and gave him a disgruntled look.
"Okay, okay, I didn't do it on purpose."
Li Luochen stroked his azure hair and smiled, saying, "I'll be heading to the Kanto region around tomorrow or the day after. Do you want to come with me?"
"Sure, why wouldn't we go? But before that, could we go to Pallet Town first?"
Bilan nuzzled her face against Li Luochen, her eyes pleading, "I...I want to take you to meet my parents, okay?"
"Meet the parents? Are you sure Professor Oak didn't pay you to lure me to Pallet Town so he could study my Pokémon?"
Li Luochen revealed Bilan's true purpose in a single sentence.
"Huh! How did you know?"
"Ha, I know you too well, don't I?"
"Hehe, now that you've found out, well then...?"
"I knew you wouldn't try to hide it this time..."
"Luo Chen~♡ Oh my god, I love you♡"
