Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

Chapter 79 I'll beat the champion, really?

Whimsicott Ranch, the largest ranch in Fukiyori City.

It is said that pillows and quilts made from cotton produced by kapok balls are high-quality products that are light and breathable.

As soon as Lu Yuan and his group entered the ranch, they were surrounded by groups of kapok flowers.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful!" Cai Zhong exclaimed, looking at the cotton balls floating all over the sky.

Grass-type Pokémon are definitely the cutest.

"The cotton balls are so soft and fluffy, it's really comfortable to hug one," Xiao Song chimed in from the side.

In the sky, besides the leisurely floating cotton balls, there are also lively and agile wind sprites playing around.

Looking at the group of white figures in the sky, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile, revealing a bright and sunny smile.

Wind Fairy, hehe...

"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan?"

Behind him, Cai Zhong gently tugged at his sleeve, asking with a curious look, "What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

"Ahem, it's nothing. I just thought of something happy, and I couldn't help myself." Lu Yuan coughed awkwardly twice, suppressing the smile on his lips.

However, Da Ye, who was standing to the side, immediately stepped forward and said with a grin, "What's so happy about it? Tell me so I can have a good laugh too."

"Is it funny that Infernape got one-shotted by Garchomp with a single Earthquake?" Lu Yuan said seriously.

Da Ye: "......"

"Pfft."

The three girls behind him couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

That was two years ago, when Da Ye had just become an Elite Four member and challenged Cynthia for the Champion title. As a result, his ace Infernape was killed by Garchomp's Earthquake.

This can be considered a significant chapter in Daye's many dark histories.

Seeing that Da Ye's earlier joy had been transferred to the three girls behind her who were covering their mouths to hide their smiles, Lu Yuan asked in confusion, "Why aren't you smiling anymore?"

My teeth are a little cold.

The group walked and laughed as they went.

Every now and then, they dredge up some of Da Ye's dark history.

But it must be said that Da Ye is a really good friend. He doesn't have any airs of a superstar at all, and he just laughs along when people make jokes about him.

Soon, the group arrived at a wooden house.

This is one of the few buildings on this ranch.

In front of the wooden house, a white-haired boy was picking up the cotton that a cotton ball had spat out. When he saw Lu Yuan, he immediately put down his work and ran over.

"You must be Master Lu. Hello, hello. I am 'Ordinary Wind Fairy'. My name is You. You can just call me Xiao You."

The white-haired boy reached out and smiled.

Lu Yuan politely extended his hand: "Just call me Lu Yuan. These people came with me: Xiao Song, the Gym Leader of Snowpeak City; Cai Zhong, the Gym Leader of Eternal City; A Li, the Gym Leader of Veilstone City; and this guy with the afro is Da Ye, one of the Sinnoh Elite Four."

Lu Yuan introduced them to Xiao You one by one.

After hearing Lu Yuan's introduction, Xiao You's smile instantly froze, and she muttered to herself:

"Four gym leaders, one Elite Four member, plus the one in the room... Are you Sinnoh planning to attack Unova?!"

Thinking of this, Xiaoyou's lips twitched a few times, but she maintained her politeness and smile on the surface.

He secretly pulled Lu Yuan to a secluded corner and whispered:

"Um... Lu Yuan, if, well... just if, if you were to face off against a champion, what do you think your chances of winning would be?"

"champion?"

Upon hearing those two words, Da Ye suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Because he hadn't listened carefully to Lu Yuan's account of what had happened, and seeing Xiao You's cautious demeanor, he imagined the scene himself.

A shameless champion, in order to seize Xiaoyou's family fortune, colluded with Xiaoyou's younger sister, resorting to any means necessary to force Xiaoyou to agree to a doubles match with them...

Thinking of this, Da Ye was filled with rage and roared indignantly, "This is simply outrageous! I am ashamed for that region that there is still such a champion these days!"

"Hmph, I'd like to see who you are. Go ahead and exchange a few blows with your Grandpa Ye!"

As Da Ye roared furiously, he forcefully pushed open the door of the wooden house.

Xiao You, who was standing to the side, was shocked to see this scene and hurriedly reached out to stop Daye, but Daye, who was already immersed in her own script, completely blocked out all external sounds.

"Oh!"

The door to the wooden house was pushed open.

There were only two people inside: a white-haired girl holding a teddy bear and a blonde woman elegantly sipping coffee while sitting on a wooden chair.

When Da Ye, who had stormed in aggressively, saw the familiar black trench coat and the dazzling long golden hair, he immediately lost his temper.

He opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stammering terribly: "Big...big...big sister!"

This person is none other than Cynthia, the current champion of Sinnoh.

Cynthia slowly put down her coffee, raised her beautiful yet cold eyes, and said in a flat tone, "Who did you just call a shameless champion, Da Ye?"

When Cynthia uttered those last two words, Da Ye, standing at the door, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his body instantly freezing in place.

He even had the illusion that Garchomp was pressing its claws against his neck from behind.

Wait! This texture!

Garchomp was really behind me!

Big Leaf stiffly raised its head, only to meet Garchomp's pitying gaze.

Garchomp: Be careful in your next life.

The wooden cabin door was slowly closed.

The soundproofing inside was excellent; only Da Ye's screams could be faintly heard.

However, if we were to discuss who among those present had the most unpleasant expression, aside from Da Ye, it would probably be Lu Yuan.

He turned to look at the white-haired boy beside him and said.

"You didn't say the other side was Cynthia, did you?"

If Cynthia sends out her invincible Garchomp, wouldn't I be furious?

Faced with Lu Yuan's questioning, Xiao You responded with an innocent expression.

"I just found out myself. My sister insisted that she was just someone I met online, but do you know how shocked I was when Cynthia came to my house this morning?"

Immediately afterward, as if grasping at the last straw, Xiao You lunged forward and hugged Lu Yuan's leg tightly, crying out in a spoiled manner, "Anyway, I don't care, you already promised me, you can't leave."

"Let go, let go now! I'm just a tactician, why make things difficult for me? Look, there are still three gym leaders here, go ask them for help!"

Lu Yuan pointed out a clear path for Xiao You, and when he looked back at Cai Zhong and the other two, he found that they had all turned their heads to the side as if they hadn't heard him.

Vegetable Seed: Are you kidding me, telling me to beat up Cynthia?

Xiao Song: I'm just a passerby wearing a bear costume.jpg

Ah Li: You can't see me, you can't see me...

What spineless three of you! I despise you!

At that moment, the door of the cabin slowly opened, and Garchomp stepped out first.

He tossed the "dying" large leaf aside.

Then, Cynthia emerged from behind him. She was tall and slender, with long golden hair cascading down to her slim waist like a waterfall.

The clatter of high heels echoed beneath her feet, and the oppressive aura of being the champion was palpable.

Cynthia gently raised her hand, brushing aside a few strands of golden hair that had been ruffled by the wind from her forehead. As her gaze swept across the crowd, she suddenly paused slightly.

"Lu Yuan?"

Then a smile appeared on her lips: "So your opponent is you. I've been looking forward to a match with you."

It’s spicy, there’s no escaping it.

Chapter 80 VS Cynthia

"elder brother?"

Hearing the noise outside, the white-haired girl holding the teddy bear slowly came out.

As she reached the door, she immediately saw her brother and Lu Yuan beside him. A barely perceptible hint of jealousy flashed in the girl's eyes. After looking them up and down, a disdainful expression appeared on her face.

"Is this the helper my brother hired? He doesn't look very strong?"

After hearing this, Lu Yuan nudged the white-haired boy beside him and said, "Don't you get along with your sister? It feels like she's targeting you at every turn?"
