Of course, another hero cannot be forgotten... If it weren't for Qianye, this incident would definitely not be resolved so easily, and she would have no chance of taming this venomous jellyfish with rare qualifications.
Looking to the side, the black-haired boy lowered his head slightly, and his handsome profile was revealed. The deep temperament that seemed to be in thought added a bit of attraction.
Qianye was currently recalling the performance of Kona's Pokémon in the battle just now. Without considering the trainer's command, among his Pokémon, perhaps only Kodraki could reach that level in terms of strength.
But for Kona-san, there might even be several teams of Pokémon of this strength. Is this the foundation of the Four Heavenly Kings?
While he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a soft and cool touch on his lips, which brought him back to his senses.
"Ko… Kona-sister?"
"This is a thank-you gift from sister to brother Qianye~" Kona had already raised her head and pretended to be indifferent as she lifted her red bangs, but she couldn't hide the remaining blush on her pretty face.
"Well, it's still not very comfortable to be soaked all over. I'm going to change into a new set of clothes. Qianye, see you later~"
Without waiting for the boy to react, she turned around and walked towards the door leading to the cabin. But out of the boy's sight, Kona reached out and touched her lips, as if savoring the feeling just now.
For a moment, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up even wider. As expected, she and Qianye were very compatible...
Chapter 125 Star Chaser Xiaoxia
The Kanto Pokémon League Appraisal Center is a landmark building located in the Kanto League headquarters area. It is also the venue for the annual Pokémon League certification exam.
"King Kona, I didn't expect you to find time to visit me. I apologize for being unable to personally meet you due to official business."
At the registration office for the Alliance Certification Exam, the tall and strong examiner stood behind the registration table like a pillar and spoke enthusiastically to the lady with long red hair.
"You're joking. The league's top trainer is just a trainer with better luck. There's no need for a grand welcome. Besides, I'm just here to bring a promising junior along to take the league qualification exam."
Kona had a faint smile on his face, without any airs of someone standing at the pinnacle of power in the Kanto Alliance.
"Hahaha, I see. Fortunately, you're not going to take the Alliance Certification Exam in person. Otherwise, for the sake of the other candidates, I would have to consider giving them a qualification badge before the exam."
The examiner laughed heartily and pushed the registration form, which was completely covered by his thick arms, out.
"To be admired by you, the King of Kona, he must be an extraordinary young man. May I ask if he is here now?"
Hearing his words, Kona nodded and turned back to make way for the black-haired boy behind him. "This is Qianye from Pallet Town. Although he debuted less than a year ago, he is definitely an outstanding Pokémon trainer."
"Qian Ye..." After repeating the familiar-sounding name to himself, the examiner suddenly revealed a look of enlightenment: "Oh, I remember now. The youngest non-staff investigator in the history of the Alliance. Nice to meet you!"
The examiner immediately extended his broad hand and shook the young man's hand warmly. He then continued, full of praise, "I've long heard of a talented trainer emerging from Pallet Town, but seeing is believing. I'm honored to meet him today. He truly possesses a distinguished bearing and is worthy of being one of Kanto's young talents!"
He was a man who had experienced many things, and his ability to serve as the chief examiner for the certification exams was largely due to his keen eye. To put it bluntly, he could tell a trainer's level with just one glance.
The young man standing before him now had none of the frivolous air of a rookie. Quite the contrary, his eyes were remarkably calm, yet beneath that calmness lay a sharp determination.
On ordinary days, he sheathes his sword like an ordinary person, and only reveals its sharpness when it is needed. This is the look that only those Alliance investigators who often participate in front-line missions have.
"You're too kind. At most, I've only performed slightly better than other rookie trainers. But compared to renowned trainers like Kona-san, I still have a lot to learn."
"Haha, don't underestimate yourself. To be able to achieve such an achievement at your age, as far as I can remember, only the current Kanto League champion, Long Shidu, meets this requirement..."
When talking about the joyful part, the examiner suddenly remembered that there was someone present who was known throughout the alliance to be not on good terms with the Dragon King. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for him to directly compare A'du with the junior whom she valued in front of her?
Glancing at Kona quietly and seeing that his expression remained calm, the examiner breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't continue his previous conversation. Instead, he returned to the topic and said, "Fill out this registration form and you can go to the waiting area to prepare. I wish you a good ranking."
"Thank you." Qianye took the form with both hands and picked up the pen on the table. Just as he was about to fill it out, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Excuse me! I'm here to sign up for the Alliance Certification Exam!"
This reckless voice... is it Xiaozhi? !
As expected, when Qianye raised his head, the unchanging red hat came into view. At the same time, noticing that someone seemed to be staring at him, Xiaozhi lowered his head and met the boy's gaze.
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on Xiaozhi's face:
"Qianye! Why are you here too?"
"Of course I'm here to take the Alliance Certification Exam. Aren't you the same?"
Having said that...but when Qianye thought about Xiaozhi also having to take the certification exam, he just felt weird no matter how he thought about it.
He has personally witnessed several of the opponent's Pokémon battles. How should he put it? To put it nicely, it's the "stream of consciousness" tactics that are unique and basically impossible to imitate. To put it bluntly, isn't it just pure chaos!
As for why he always won despite being so chaotic, Qianye himself couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it.
But the certification exam is completely different from a battle. The various unexpected situations that could be turned into opportunities for victory by Xiaozhi in actual battle would not appear in the written exam. The certification exam is a test of the trainer's knowledge and theory of Pokémon, and unfortunately, Xiaozhi is a complete "student failure" in this area.
"Qianye, I never thought that we would finally reach this day..."
"?" Looking at Xiaozhi whose tone suddenly became deep, Qianye didn't understand what this guy was up to for a moment.
"I've always been looking forward to having a fair fight with you, Qianye, on the field. Although it's not at the Alliance Conference venue yet, it's not much different."
"Even if we're friends, I won't show any mercy! Qianye, I will beat you in this exam!"
With one hand on his hat and a confident smile on his face, Xiaozhi declared his victory before the League Test!
Crazy... Qianye rolled his eyes. If the two of them were to have a Pokémon battle, Xiaozhi's whimsical fighting style might really cause him to fall, but if they compared theoretical knowledge, he would never lose to him.
If you really can't even beat Xiaozhi, then you shouldn't even bother attending any Quartz Conference. You'd better just go find a tree and kill yourself.
"Qianye, your friend?"
After observing the interaction between the two for a long time, Kona finally couldn't help but interrupt and asked the boy.
"Yes, he's a trainer from Pallet Town like me. He's kind of my childhood friend, I guess."
As they were talking, a brown figure suddenly cut in between the two of them at a speed comparable to a flash of lightning. Qianye only felt a flicker in front of his eyes, and the next moment he saw a young man who could not open his eyes kneeling on one knee on the ground, holding Kona's hands who had not yet reacted with both hands.
The wheat-colored face was tinged with the red of a jujube, and the liquid flowing from the corners of his mouth revealed his infatuation.
"My beautiful lady, it is truly my lucky day to meet you by chance. My name is Xiaogang, but would you be so kind as to tell me yours?"
Qianye couldn't help but slap himself in the face. He should have thought of it earlier... Since Xiaozhi came here, there was no reason why Xiaogang and Xiaoxia would not be here.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but look around with some anticipation. Usually when Xiaogang had an attack, that person would appear in time to stop him from doing something more embarrassing.
However, after having a clear goal, he did quickly find the orange-haired girl in the crowd, but Xiaoxia's current condition... seemed to be not much different from Xiaogang?
She stared at Kona's slightly troubled face in a daze, covering her mouth with her hands, in a state of extreme surprise and disbelief.
Xiaoxia's face flushed, and her body twisted like a girl in love. She walked slowly forward, stretched out a hand and placed it on the head of Xiaogang who was blocking Kona, and pressed down.
What was a little scary was that while Xiaogang was being pushed down, Qianye seemed to hear a crackling sound as if something had broken.
After completing all this and replacing Xiaogang's original position, Xiaoxia lowered her head, twisted the index fingers of her two hands together, and did not dare to raise her head to look at Kona in front of her.
She simply said in a timid tone that was completely inconsistent with her personality: "Excuse me...are you Lord Kona?"
Chapter 126: Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers
"Um, I'm Xiaoxia from Cerulean City. I'm... your loyal fan. Could you please sign an autograph for me?" Xiaoxia's eyes were shining with stars. She stretched out her arms tremblingly and held Kona's white hand.
"No problem... But, is your friend okay?" Kona didn't look panicked by the sudden appearance of the fanatical female fan. It was obvious that he had experienced this kind of scene many times. But his eyes couldn't help but glance at the brown-skinned young man who was lying limply on the ground with his head tilted.
"Don't worry about him! Lord Kona, if you want to sign, please write it on this Poké Ball!" Completely ignoring Xiaogang's dead body lying on the ground, the orange-haired girl excitedly handed over a Poké Ball.
When Kona was writing an autograph for Misty, Satoshi pulled Brock up from the ground in a panic and shook his body in an attempt to sober up the young man who was foaming at the mouth.
Finally, a girl who had been following Qianye so quietly that her presence was almost invisible could not stand it anymore. She opened her palm and released green ripples, covering Xiaogang's body.
Soon, Xiaogang's eyes... didn't open, but his body finally began to move. He held his still-aching neck with his palm, and said with a look of relief, "I just felt like I went to the legendary underworld, and I saw a giant black centipede floating in the sky."
"Thank you, Natsu."
Hearing Xiaozhi's thanks, the girl just waved her hand and retreated back to Qianye's side.
"Speaking of which, why is Misty so excited... Is Kona some powerful person?" Looking at Misty who was chatting happily with the red-haired lady, Xiaozhi asked with some confusion.
Before Qianye could explain, the orange-haired girl in front of him twitched her ears slightly, turned quickly and flashed in front of Xiaozhi. Her speed was so fast that the red hat on his head almost fell off in fright.
Misty's face was filled with indignation. She poked the other person's shoulder with her green finger and said, "It's very rude of you to say that. Lady Kona is the Ice King of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto and the most powerful female Pokémon Trainer in the Kanto region."
"The Four Heavenly Kings?"
"Xiaozhi, you can just understand it as the four strongest trainers in the Kanto region. Although theoretically there is a league champion above them, as far as I know, the current league champion is also one of the Elite Four." Xiaogang, who had recovered, also spoke up at this time.
"But that beautiful lady is actually the Ice King Kona? No wonder she looks so familiar to me."
"You must feel familiar with all the beautiful older sisters..." Seeing that Xiaogang was about to have another attack, Xiaoxia complained with a look of disdain.
As for Xiaozhi, although he still lacked understanding of the identity of the Four Heavenly Kings, he still heard Xiaogang's words "the most powerful trainer" and immediately clenched his fists and shouted excitedly to Kona:
"Alright! King Kona, I challenge you!"
Just as he said that, a huge force grabbed his shoulders and pulled him over. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Qianye's slightly speechless expression:
"Don't you still have the League Certification Exam to take? Besides, the Elite Four aren't idle people, and they won't accept a trainer's challenge at any time."
"If you're really interested, then take first place in the Quartz Conference. That way you'll be qualified to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance. For now, you should finish filling out the forms. The exams seem to be starting soon."
As he spoke, Qianye pointed to the crowd pouring into the examination room. Seeing this, Xiaozhi's face under his red hat suddenly changed, and he quickly leaned over to fill out the form on the table.
……
As the bell in the examination room rang, the annual Pokémon League certification exam was officially announced to begin.
The entire exam is divided into three parts, the first two of which are written tests. The first part is judgment questions to test basic theoretical knowledge, and the second part is fill-in-the-blank questions, which are said to be analyzed through pattern identification.
At this moment, Qianye was sitting in front of a computer used for answering questions, his eyes scanning the questions on the screen, and from time to time he dragged the mouse to click on the correct answer.
Since the difficulty of the test questions increases step by step, the ones at the front are basically basic questions like attribute restraint and resistance, and what are the basic attribute combinations of some common Pokémon in Kanto.
For this kind of questions, the boy basically only needed to take a quick glance to decide on the answer, so that before the exam had even lasted less than ten minutes, he had already completed 30% of the questions.
But the next questions are not so simple. In addition to the living habits of Pokémon and the moves they can learn, there are also many seemingly simple but actually counterintuitive trap questions -
"Nidoking will breed with Nidoqueen from the pack. ("Yes" or "No")"
The moment he saw the question, Qianye almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and then he quickly dragged the mouse and clicked "No".
Many trainers who don't know the inside story will naturally regard them as a couple after seeing their names and choose the "yes" option.
In fact, in the natural environment, Nidoking and Nidoqueen are indeed each other's mates, but the problem is that except for the initial form of Nidoran who can reproduce the next generation, the evolved Nidoana and even the further Nidoqueen have completely lost their fertility in order to protect their offspring in exchange for more powerful power.
Because of this interesting phenomenon, there has been a joke circulating in the Pokémon community that "Nidoking is actually a lolicon."
"Grey Shark, with its dual ground and dragon attributes, can learn the Dragon-type Pokémon's signature move, Dragon Dance."
"No, the only dragon dance Garchomp can learn is Dragon's Voice."
"Trees in the Chengdu area are rock-type Pokémon."
"Yes, the tree's strange appearance is an image that has evolved to protect itself from predators. It's actually a rock structure."
"Gyarados, one of the main Pokémon of Adu, the Dragon King of the Kanto League, is a Pokémon with both Water and Dragon attributes."
"No, and whoever set this question really doesn't want to investigate? I seriously suspect this is an insider from another regional alliance..."
Most of the exam time passed quickly, and Qianye finally finished answering all the questions. After reviewing them several times, he clicked the submit option.
He let out a breath slowly. After finishing the first part of the exam, except for extremely obscure questions like "Can the Flowery Sea Lion learn acrobatic moves?" and "The three starter Pokémons in the Unova region belong to the same egg group", the rest of the questions basically did not cause any trouble to the boy.
There was still over half an hour left before the exam ended. Since the second written exam was also in this examination room, he couldn't leave immediately even after finishing the questions. So, after handing in his exam paper, Qian Ye, with nothing else to do, began to scan the other candidates in the same examination room.
It seems that my answering speed should be one of the fastest among all the candidates. At least 70% to 80% of the people in the examination room are still staring at the computer screen, frowning as if thinking.
Soon, Qianye's eyes caught sight of Xiaozhi. Just as he had expected, that guy was not good at this type of test at all. The white light of the screen was reflected on his gloomy face, and the mouse in his hand took almost three or four minutes to click once.
He retracted his gaze, his eyes lingering on his surroundings. Speaking of which, the woman sitting next to him seemed to have submitted her paper even earlier than he had. It seemed as if she hadn't hesitated at all, her mouse clicking rhythmically and rapidly the entire time.
This test is indeed full of hidden talents. Any candidate can surpass me in the mastery of Pokémon theory knowledge. I don’t know what this lady’s background is. Judging from her face, she should be in her twenties or thirties. Could she be a Pokémon doctor from somewhere?
With this thought in mind, Qian Ye couldn't help but look at the other person a few more times, and just this one glance made his brows unconsciously frown.
She had long red hair with two braids, wore a white-collared women's shirt, and had a pair of flat-framed glasses on her nose... She should have been dressed very formally, but the green spherical earrings on her ears looked more and more familiar the more she looked at them.
Chapter 127 It’s broken, come at me!
"The first round of the written exam for the Alliance Certification Exam has concluded. Please stop answering and patiently wait for a response from the invigilation system."
As the prompt sounded, which might have been a death knell for some, the candidates who had not yet finished answering immediately let out a wail. However, the computer automatically submitted the answer sheet after the time was up, and no matter how hard they struggled, it was impossible to continue answering.
As for Qian Ye, who had already handed in his paper early, his attention was not on the prompt sound in the examination room.
After a long period of observation, the boy was able to basically determine the true identity of the red-haired lady sitting next to him. He even scanned the field based on this and soon found another blue-haired man who looked familiar not far away.
What are those two guys doing here... They can't be here to take the qualification badge test, right? Does the Rockets want to improve so much now?
