Chapter 389 Quartz Plateau, Another Flame Bird
Farewell to Xiaozhi and his group, Luo Mu returned to Manjin City, took the maglev train, and arrived at Jinhuang City in the evening.
Golden City.
It is the largest and most prosperous city in the entire Guandong region, just like Manjin City in the Chengdu region.
The headquarters building of Silver Company, a world-class enterprise, stands in the center of Golden City and is very eye-catching.
There is also a golden gym guarded by Natsu, a humanoid Pokémon with super powers.
However, all this has nothing to do with Luo Mu.
If it had been before, he probably would have wanted to go to Nazi to see if he had any superpower talents.
But after getting three denials from Zhihuang, Mewtwo and Lei Guanwang, he gave up this idea.
As soon as I got off the maglev train, people from the relevant metropolitan alliance were already waiting for Luo Mu at the exit.
The woman has long blue wavy hair, wears a yellow midriff-baring vest, a pair of white cropped pants, and high heels of the same color as her clothes.
The woman had a sullen face and exuded a certain oppressive aura, causing pedestrians to distance themselves from her.
Some people also recognized the woman's identity, but still did not dare to approach her due to her aura.
The woman seemed to already know Luo Mu's appearance. As soon as Luo Mu left the ticket gate, she strode toward Luo Mu in high heels.
Luo Mu asked the messenger bird to follow him, so as not to be accidentally scattered due to the large flow of people here. Then he looked up at the woman who had already walked in front of him, and greeted with a smile: "I didn't expect that you would come to pick me up in person. Ah, the Ewha King."
"Everyone else is busy with their work, but President Damaranch thinks that we cannot neglect you, so he sent me from the Johto area to Golden City to wait in advance."
Lihua nodded slightly and looked towards the station exit.
"I parked the car outside. Judging from the weather, it's too late to go to the headquarters today. The Alliance asked us to rest in Golden City first. The hotel has been booked. I'll take you to the hotel."
Apart from the aura brought by using evil-type Pokémon, Lihua exudes a capable temperament and does everything without any sloppiness.
Under the leadership of Lihua, Luo Mu and Messenger Bird got into her black jeep.
It seemed that Luo Mu's surprised eyes were a little too obvious. Lihua pushed the night vision polarized sunglasses on the bridge of her nose while walking on the bustling roads of Jinhuang City:
"There is nothing surprising. I am a pragmatist and need to move frequently in the wild or between other cities. Naturally, I want to choose a mobility scooter with a high chassis and durability."
"Deli~"
The messenger bird nodded, it also felt that practicality was the best.
Luo Mu looked thoughtful.
Indeed, if you are moving in the city, unlike the Alola region, in some big cities in the Kanto region, most Pokémon cannot carry people on the road.
Only Pokémon like Duduli are allowed, and they must obtain a certificate before they can go on the road.
Even though the sky was getting darker, the flow of people on the street showed no signs of decreasing. Lihua glanced at Luo Mu, the co-pilot, who was looking at the outside scenery with her peripheral vision, and asked, "Are you free tonight?"
Luo Mu blinked. Because he didn't know what Lihua meant, he chose to answer conservatively.
". Let's not forget it. I stayed up all night last night and plan to have a good sleep tonight."
"That's it. Let's make another appointment another day."
Lihua nodded slightly, with a very free and easy attitude.
Several question marks popped up on Luo Mu's head, and he asked hesitantly: "Can I ask what you plan to do with me?"
Lihua didn't answer immediately.
When the jeep turned a few corners and stopped at the entrance of a high-end hotel, she crossed her arms and stretched, her voice full of laziness.
"I rushed from Baiyin Mountain to Golden City non-stop, so a little interest wouldn't be too much, right?"
"If you can, come to Quartz Plateau and have a one-on-one Pokémon battle with me."
Lihua made no secret of her desire to battle Luo Mu. Perhaps most Pokémon trainers were keen on this.
"No problem." Luo Mu nodded slightly, "But I didn't bring my trump card with me this time."
"Then send your main force. By the way, I'm very interested in the dragon that defeated the Flame Bird. There is no record of your flight entry and exit this time. You should have come riding it, right?"
Lihua spread her hands, liking Luo Mu's refreshing attitude.
"You also know that the champion ace of our Johto League is also Kuailong. I have never given up on sitting in that position. I have also made a lot of training for this, which may be unexpectedly targeted by the time."
"Fine."
Luo Mu nodded slightly, unbuckled his seat belt, and then walked to the back row to take down Messenger Bird, who was sitting obediently in the child seat. Under the guidance of Lihua, he checked in in one go.
On the top floor of the hotel, Lihua leaned against the door frame outside the room and waved her hand.
"Have a good rest. It will take about half a day to drive to Quartz Plateau tomorrow."
"good."
Luo Mu closed the hotel door and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the messenger bird who was looking at the hotel room curiously. After thinking for a moment, he took out the elf ball he carried with him and let everyone out.
Kuailong, Flame Bird, Wind Speed Dog, Victini and Thunder Drum. Yes, the height of the hotel room in this hotel, known as one of the top hotels in Golden City, is enough for Thunder Drum to stand upright freely.
Another Mimikyu crawled out of the shadows. Luo Mu picked it up, took out a piece of high-quality cloth and needle and thread from his bag, and shouted to Moltres, who was restraining his flames and inspecting the room like a walking chicken:
"Watch your big son!"
Although the room was rented by the Kanto Alliance, Luo Mu still felt that he should try not to cause too much damage.
After Moltres nodded to Luo Mu, his eyes immediately turned to the Windy Dog lying at the door.
But to Moltres' surprise, the Windy Dog just glanced at the neatly arranged disposable slippers and then looked away, looking completely uninterested in them.
Moltres: "."
It turns out that he only stared at Luo Mu's slippers. He is quite principled.
Walking in front of the Windy Dog, Moltres slowly combed its feathers (hair).
On the other side, Luo Mu tried to sew the cloth into the same shape as the Mimikyu model, but unfortunately his skills were obviously not yet perfect, and the final product was a bit horrible.
Although Mimikyu, who was shaking his wooden tail, didn't mind, since Luo Mu had already promised to prepare a cute puppet skin for Mimikyu, he had to do his best.
After folding the "failed work" and putting it in his backpack, Luo Mu took out the second piece of cloth and continued to try to sew.
Until it was late at night, almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
Although the satisfactory work has not been made yet, the accumulated experience is not false. Luo Mu yawned and his eyes fell on Dragonite and the others who were already sleeping together.
Just now, Dragonite and Thunderbolt accompanied Victini to play on the slide for a long time, and now they seem to be tired.
"It's almost time to sleep."
Feeling the sleepiness that seemed to swallow up his consciousness, Luo Mu yawned again, lying on the bed with the messenger bird in his left hand and Mimikyu in his right hand and fell asleep.
With the two of them, there was no need to turn on the air conditioner. The whole person was cool, and the sultry summer night had no effect at all.
The next day.
After washing and dressing, Luo Mu ran into Lihua leaning against the wall as soon as he went out.
Blinking, Luo Mu complained sincerely: "You make me feel that you have been standing here in this posture all night."
Lihua didn't say anything, brushed the hair in front of her shoulders, raised her eyebrows and said: "Let's go."
"Okay."
The jeep parked at the entrance of the hotel was still Lihua's. Luo Mu and the messenger bird sat in the back seat. As the car engine roared, the jeep drove onto the road and drove towards the most solemn place of the Guandu Alliance.
On the way, Luo Mu took out the camera from the messenger bird's tail and checked the photos with the messenger bird.
After all, the camera had only been with the messenger bird for less than a month, and the content was not much.
But what caught Luo Mu's attention the most were the photos taken by the messenger bird in a forest.
The lush trees blocked the sun, and the forest had very poor lighting. The shooting time was clearly during the day, but it looked as dark as at night.
If it was just a pitch-black forest, it wouldn't have attracted Luo Mu's attention.
The focus of the photo is the mysterious creature in the distance that looks like an elf hiding in the forest, emitting emerald green light.
Because the distance is too far, it looks a little unreal, but judging from the outline, it looks very much like that Pokémon.
In Luo Mu's mind, there emerged a figure of a phantom Pokémon with transparent cicada wings, a small green body, and two pairs of dark circles under its eyes.
The phantom Pokémon Celebi has the ability to travel through time and space.
Sometimes Celebi exists, and the forest is so dark, it seems to be an oak forest.
The messenger bird is really lucky, even the hard-to-see Celebi can be photographed.
As if embarrassed by Luo Mu's praise, the messenger bird shyly scratched its head with its wings.
Luo Mu, who sighed, turned on the Polaroid function of the camera and directly developed the photo, preparing to go back later to put it in his own album.
Half a day later, the headquarters of the Kanto Alliance, Quartz Plateau.
Walking on the road made of dark gray stone steps, Luo Mu and the Messenger Bird turned their heads and looked down.
Rather than saying that they were in the most solemn place in the Kanto region, the scenery below looked more like a resort with many large facilities.
He and Lihua were walking on a road without any danger. It was clear that the Silver Mountains, which were famous for their dangers, were a little further away.
At this time, Lihua's voice floated from above.
"With the continuous growth of the strength and scale of the alliance in recent years, the safe road to the Quartz Plateau has long been built. Except for those trainers who want to challenge themselves, few people will challenge the road to the championship."
Retracting their gaze, Luo Mu and the Messenger Bird continued to walk upwards, and at the same time thought: "Is the venue of the Quartz Conference, the contestant village and various supporting facilities below?"
"Yes, the times are progressing, and the division of trainer levels is more detailed. Now the Kanto League also intends to implement the "Champion League" system of the Sinnoh League, allowing unrestrained gym owners and winners of previous conferences to compete to determine the trainers who challenge the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion. "
Rika talked to Luo Mu about the changes in the Kanto region in recent years without turning her head.
"I heard that the system in the Padia region seems to be a little different from that in Kanto?"
"It is indeed different."
Listening to Rika's question, Luo Mu thought for a moment, recalled the scene of himself participating in the champion test, and nodded slightly.
Especially the initial interview session was more like Ye Ci recruiting talented trainers rather than challenging the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion.
The time for chatting always passed quickly. Luo Mu and Lihua chatted about some topics that did not involve the secrets of their respective regional alliances. When they came to their senses, the long ladder like a ladder had reached the end. The Kanto Pokémon Alliance The headquarters comes into view.
Apart from the majestic and magnificent buildings of the Kanto Alliance, the most eye-catching thing is the burning orange flame in the center of the square in front of the headquarters.
"Is that the holy fire?"
Luo Mu said firmly.
"Yes, the everlasting sacred fire originating from the Flame Bird is used as a symbol of the Quartz and Silver Conference."
Lihua nodded slightly, then showed a strange expression.
If she remembered correctly, Luo Mu also tamed a flame bird, and even a frozen bird and a lightning bird.
The only consolation was that the holy fire originated from a very powerful flame bird.
Recalling that the flames of the flame bird were usually used by himself at home for heating or cooking, Luo Mu kept his mouth shut to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
The Holy Fire is one of the spiritual beliefs of the Kanto people.
Originally, walking past the holy fire was the gate of the Kanto Alliance headquarters, but before Luo Mu could get around the silver brazier in the center, the blazing holy fire inside seemed to sense something. The fire surged and turned into a wall of fire. In front of Luo Mu.
"!?"
Fortunately, Luo Mu and the messenger bird reacted quickly and stopped almost at the same time. Luo Mu's eyebrows and the messenger bird's feathers were just a little bit burned.
Lihua, who was walking in front and did not cause any reaction from the Holy Fire, paused on the spot with a look of surprise on her face.
The Holy Fire actually reacted?
Feeling the rolling heat wave coming towards his face, Luo Mu's complexion changed slightly. He could vaguely feel that it seemed that the holy fire was not directed at him, but more like
At this time, an elf ball on Luo Mu's waist shook slightly and opened automatically.
The figure of the Flame Bird appeared directly in the square.
With the appearance of the flame bird, the holy fire that blocked Luo Mu and the messenger bird seemed to have seen the person it wanted to see. The overflowing flame returned to the brazier very spiritually, and began to gradually condense into a shape, turning into a An illusory firebird that flutters its wings and sings.
With that appearance, it is almost carved out of the same mold as the Flame Bird.
Seeing the vivid firebird in the brazier, Luo Mu's eyes widened and he was shocked.
It’s so alive! ?
Lihua looked even more open-eyed, unable to maintain her temperament as an evil trainer, and murmured to herself: "There is actually life."
Although after becoming the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto Alliance, she had heard that the Holy Fire was alive.
But it was the first time to see it with my own eyes.
