Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

With her surging mental power, she tore apart the most vulnerable support wheel in a single move. She could not shake the weight of the entire city, but destroying the connecting node was not difficult.

The more sophisticated the tool, the easier it is to be damaged by the smallest error, just as a high-hanging fortress has lost its complete structure and stopped operating normally.

The pre-set scenarios were put into practice, and the crash of the former was inevitable.

Silently watching the towering royal city fall to its original place, transforming into an incomparably magnificent firework, shattering into scattered bricks and tiles, the girl rested her chin on her arm, her gaze lowered, as if admiring, or perhaps waiting for the other's rational heartstrings to snap.

No longer bound by mental power, she released her focus, letting Jarvis and Rachel crash heavily onto the hard ground.

"Cough, damn it... Yisha, Doka, what are you doing?!"

Vomiting blood, calling out the names of his men, and crawling on his stomach, he picked up his scepter, vowing to start another incident.

But suddenly, he felt that the weight in his hand was somewhat light.

Looking up at the nearby area, the top of the scepter, where the mega gemstone was engraved, had been swallowed by the young dragon beside it, which was chewing it incessantly and even letting out a satisfied burp.

The destruction of the mechanism that controls Pokémon signifies the loss of all power.

No one responded, and no Pokémon gathered around him as before. The pale Gengar glanced at the man, then disappeared into the shadows, leaving with a look of disgust.

Meanwhile, the ferocious beasts revealed their malevolent expressions, sharpened their claws and teeth, and approached him step by step.

Salamence, Tyranitar, Garchomp, Cursed Doll...

They want to vent the torment they suffer day and night, the pain of losing their freedom, and the resentment of being enslaved.

With these broken teeth, with these worn-down claws, with this body that has suffered injustice, we repay the mottled scars inflicted upon us by those who came before us.

By using their mental powers to shield their friends from the filthy wails, Nan Yin didn't even need to lift a finger; the demonic beasts they had once trampled beneath them would teach them the meaning of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

"Actually, Nan Yin, you don't need to take care of me. I already threw up enough when I went back that time."

Knowing the girl's good intentions, Korni took the initiative to stop her. She understood that if she wanted to grow, she had to step out of her comfort zone and accept the truth of the world.

Furthermore, she always felt that Nan Yin regarded her as a young child.

"it is good."

She reined in her outward-flowing psychic energy, and upon seeing the blood-stained scene, the blonde girl's legs went weak. But remembering her promise, she continued to pant, leaning against her friend's breasts to gradually calm her inner turmoil.

There's no need to pay attention to Minister Jarvis anymore; what we really need to deal with now is that tearful Prince Raquel.

"I...I know I was wrong, no, don't do that!"

Unable to utter a complete sentence, and witnessing the tragic death of his trusted minister since childhood, the radiant boy no longer harbored any illusions or arrogance.

Like a wretched chick, he trembled uncontrollably and vomited up the leftovers of his previous meal.

"Whether you are right or wrong is not for me to decide; the laws of the Alliance will confirm what you have done."

"Well said."

It wasn't Nan Yin who responded; instead, the sky cast the shadow of wings, and a short-haired man leaped down from the waist and shoulders of the Flame Dragon.

She was a legendary player she had met in a previous match, and also an investigator who spoke on behalf of the league, Qinglv.

"To be honest, I was really surprised to receive your message. Every time I listen to Nan Yin, you always surprise me."

"I was just reporting the facts."

Ignoring Qinglu's usual teasing, Nanyin simply tidied up the remnants of the war.

"Haha, of course I understand. You have really helped to accelerate the unification of the alliance this time, saving the Carlos region a lot of effort."

With a flick of his wide cloak, he walked straight toward the boy who had collapsed to the ground.

"Based on the laws and regulations of the League, Raquel, a citizen of the Kingdom of Azot, you are suspected of intentionally injuring a Gym Leader, illegally stealing other people's Pokémon, and other illegal and criminal acts. You will be handed over to the Luna City Headquarters for processing in a short period of time."

With a cold voice, Qinglu stated that even if the other party was a young and inexperienced child, she would not show any compassion whatsoever.

"The laws of the Alliance? No, that's not right! I am a prince of the Kingdom of Azot. You have no right to judge me. This is not territory under the jurisdiction of the Alliance!"

He was hysterical, recalling the country's self-established legal code and the part that could lead to beheading. While fearing the future and being dissatisfied with the title, Raquel hardened his temper.

"Don't worry, given your young age, the Alliance's laws will reduce your sentence; it won't be what you think."

"I don't accept being imprisoned. This isn't your place to call the shots. Sister, where is my sister?"

"You mean the League trainer, Himeya?"

Just as Qinglu had described the name, the girl with golden hair hanging down sighed and walked over with a complicated expression.

"Sister, you've been here all along?"

Looking at his predecessors in disbelief, Raquel seemed to realize something.

"I arrived at the scene after you landed from the airship."

"Then why did you stand idly by and do nothing? Could it be that you have also betrayed the Azot royal family?"

Snapped--

It was a crisp slap.

“Stop it. I know you’ve been interested in the mysterious sciences since you were young, which is why you became close to Jarvis. But have you ever thought about why that chance encounter in the library was such a coincidence? I’ve reminded you many times, but you’ve ignored me.”

“After my father died, he controlled the kingdom’s military power. Even I was sidelined to the diplomatic faction, which had no soldiers. Under such circumstances, how could you still trust him and disregard my mother’s painstaking education over the years?”

Pressing her heaving chest, Ji Meiya felt deeply troubled by the former's lack of self-control, which had repeatedly caused her to lose control of her emotions.

“I ask you, weren’t you there when Jarvis was controlling those Pokémon? Didn’t you see how much pain they were in? You’re just deceiving yourself and believing that bastard in a fox’s skin.”

"But aren't they just magical beasts used to protect the kingdom?"

The second slap landed, but the blonde girl's eyes began to redden, and tears welled up.

“It is precisely because I am on the fringes of politics that I have truly seen this world. There is a clear distinction between the noble and the lowly, and exploitation is eternal. Raquel, have you never thought about why we are born into luxury and receive the respect of others?”

"But, even so, I don't want to go to jail. This is still the Kingdom of Azot, and sister, I'm still young. Please save Rakel!"

Her five fingers clenched tightly, digging into flesh and blood, then slowly relaxed. The cries that accompanied her were truly unbearable for Ji Meiya, but the law is the foundation of everything. A mistake is a mistake, and even the king cannot escape it.

"I'm sorry, little brother, but the law is impartial."

"And from now on, there will be no more Azot royal family, no more so-called royal land. I am tired of the people's dull eyes. If we want to make progress, we must accept the world's scrutiny."

The gap between eras has created a difference in understanding. The rulers of the region have changed, but the people have not. They are used to being obsequious and handing over power. They lack knowledge and are afraid of everything unknown. This is the saddest thing.

Chapter Eighty: The Creation of Life and the Ingenious Maid

The massive wall, as solid as a mountain, withstood wind and frost without collapsing, yet now it has crumbled in a single day, as if the heavens and earth had split open, the sound echoing for miles around.

The high walls separating the noble and the lowly collapsed, the magnificent city symbolizing imperial power crumbled, and the Kingdom of Azot came to an end, its historical records ceasing to continue.

"It just feels... a bit unrealistic."

Gazing at the ruins, Korni felt a pang of sorrow, lamenting that an ancient kingdom with a history of five hundred years had vanished in their hands.

"Don't take all this too seriously. We're just going with the flow. Even without today's events, this scene would still happen decades from now."

By expressing her innermost thoughts, Nan Yin also used this opportunity to comfort her friend.

Once upon a time, her ancestors also gradually explored amidst internal and external troubles, going against the current and firmly forging their own path, regardless of the hardships and dangers.

“I want to apologize to you both, and to Porcanion.”

With a long sigh, Ji Meiya concealed her disappointment and bowed deeply.

“Since things haven’t gotten much worse, there’s not much need for this apology. And now, Himeya, the first thing you need to do is to discipline—”

"them."

Looking at the people emerging from all directions, facing the ruined capital, they might feel panic, fear, or relief.

Fear and unease, whispering among themselves—this is the norm for most people. Yet, amidst this, there are also those who are filled with indignation, pointing at Nan Yin and her group, shouting curses and slander.

They are used to bowing their heads to the ground, and even if the mountains above them collapse, they still cannot straighten their inner spines, and they are at a loss about the future.

"Why is this happening? Logically speaking, we liberated everyone and gave everyone freedom, didn't we?"

Her clear eyes were filled with confusion. Even though she wasn't disheartened by the public's criticism, Diancie was still somewhat lost in thought.

"Because of a lack of knowledge and a limited perspective, society has already made progress, but the trends of thought have lagged behind. This is not a change that can be achieved overnight; it requires time to gradually settle and mature."

Stroking the pink diamond princess's forehead and pulling her into his arms, the girl whispered in her ear, expressing her deepest concern.

"Fortunately, Tianshi, your people are lucky, because they have an excellent leader who leads by example and is constantly striving for improvement."

"Well!"

After a short, low murmur, the praise that filled the little guy's body and soul blushed, and then slowly spread to both sides of his cheeks.

Their conversation grew increasingly intimate, while on a slightly more distant high platform, Ji Meiya murmured Nan Yin's words over and over again.

Even though the former did not tell her, she benefited greatly from it and felt even more inadequate compared to the former.

The towering imperial city may no longer exist, but the kingdom in the hearts of the people has not collapsed and still stands. If they are to break free from the knowledge they have accumulated since childhood, they must be given knowledge and education must be popularized.

"Green Champion, I'll be relying on you for the future matters."

"Don't worry, although I don't have much to say in this area, the alliance will treat these people equally. They can also receive social security and poverty subsidies."

He spread his hands out, indicating that he was at ease. Over the years, Qinglu has grown from a strong-willed boy into a calm and composed adult.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"Such honorifics are unnecessary, Himeya. From now on, you will need to do your best to lead these people who are deeply influenced by the royal land out of their fixed mindset."

With a flick of his wide cloak, the brown-haired youth, riding a fiery dragon, also asked the two girls nearby, following the sound of their voices.

"Do you need a ride?"

Pointing to the collapsed fortress in the distance, if Nan Yin's information is correct, that Magiana should still be in the ruins.

"No need."

The sacred bird hovering in the sky spread its wings and descended. No further explanation was needed; the Nanyin melody had already made its meaning clear through the facts.

"I almost forgot about this. I saw this brightly lit thing from afar. Judging by its size, is it the Zapdos from the Poké Ball Factory that was on the verge of death?"

"Ah."

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable in medicine. If I have any health problems in the future, would it be convenient for me to call you, Dr. Nan Yin?"

Without pursuing the matter further, since the girl had healed her serious injuries using her own methods and had even gained the approval of the sacred bird itself, Qinglu could only offer her heartfelt praise.

"Sure, but personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business. To put it another way," he said, showing no weakness and unconcerned about the teasing address, his clear voice uttering the three words one by one.

"You have to pay more."

Looking at Nan Yin's calm and indifferent expression, the brown-haired youth laughed heartily; he had long since grown accustomed to it.

"Let's go. I'm quite curious about the legendary Magiana."

"Is that your real motivation for coming here?"

With a single sentence, Nan Yin revealed the true nature of Qing Lü. Although they only met twice, Nan Yin had a general understanding of the temperament of this legendary warrior.

Perhaps it was the inevitability of history, but after many events, Green is still the same as she remembered, still passionate about Pokémon and exceptionally confident.

"Haha, wherever a new Pokémon is discovered, there you'll find my Cyan!"

I said that, but I was still a little embarrassed. This girl is just like that brat Chi Hong. She either doesn't say anything, or when she does, she hits my sore spot.

"Senior Qinglv is really... a bit different from what I imagined."

Hearing the two talking so casually, Korne's opinion of them changed, and she became less reserved towards them.

"In the end, whether it's him or us, if we set aside our identities, we are all just ordinary people."

Pulling her friend onto the back of the sacred bird, she then told Polcanion the truth. After a few flaps of their wings, they arrived at the chaotic ruins.

"Mageyana, where are you? Can you hear me?"

Pushing aside the wall and rummaging through the rubble, the crimson behemoth frantically called out the former's name.

Finding a tiny elf in such a vast ruin is no easy task, but fortunately, the invisible power of thought is enough to create waves that pass through the holes and explore the depths.

"right here."

Standing at the center of the ruins, the waveguide's resonance has already captured the surging energy and subtle response.
