Female Trainer's Flavor Tasting Guide

However, when she subconsciously used her right hand to shield herself, ready to face death, she did not feel the pain caused by the violent impact.

I could only vaguely hear the sound of something passing by my ears.

Huh? She’s not dead. What happened?

The girl's heartbeat, which had been extremely fast, slowed down a little, and then she slowly moved her forearm away.

Then, she finally saw who had saved her.

At the same time, Roz, who had stood up in the audience to offer help, returned to his seat.

Although his heartbeat was not as fast as Lurina's, his nervousness could still be seen from his clenched fists.

He just wanted to see what Lurina was like, not that he wanted her to die.

If Lurina died, wouldn't he be short of a fighting force when Wujitai escapes in the future?

Because of this, the accidents that just happened actually scared him.

In the end, nothing happened to Lurina.

As for the person who saved Lurina...

Actually, it’s not quite right to say that it was a ‘person’ who saved her.

Although she does take on a human form, she looks quite 'anthropomorphic'.

But if you look closely, you'll find that she's really just a bit "anthropomorphic."

At its core, the guy with the big stick is still a very cute Pokémon.

He wore a huge mask on his face, and his human-like body with short arms and legs was wrapped in fluffy green grass. When he ran, he looked like a rolling dandelion ball.

Whenever she jumped and ran forward, the aho-hair on her little head would draw cheerful arcs in the air, making her look like she had four dancing braids.

But her weapon, which is as big as herself, doesn't quite match her style...

Just by looking at the mace, one can imagine what would happen if one were hit by it.

Yes, her true identity is none other than the strongest second-level god in Zi Yu's hands, Erguiliang.

And now she is wearing the 'Well Mask', which means her attributes are now water + grass, and her characteristic is water storage.

Whether from the perspective of attributes or characteristics, this Uruk-O can completely defeat Lurina's Tortoise and her opponent Milotic.

"Bonnie~"

The Erotica who saved Lurina didn't bother to pay attention to her. After saving Lurina, she waved her big stick and kept chasing the big guy that she was particularly interested in.

This was the first time she had seen such a huge Pokémon, so she couldn't help but think of "having some fun with this guy."

However, Milotic didn't think this was fun.

Even after Dynamaxing, she is still a pure Water-type Pokémon, and the Pokémon behind her that is chasing her madly with its short legs is a Grass-type Pokémon.

If she was really hit by a stick, she would definitely be injured even if she didn't fall down on the spot.

This is not a joke, this is a life-threatening situation.

But why the hell would someone suddenly show up and "cut in line" when she was fighting with someone?

Don't you know that the penalty for intruding is 2000 HP? You, a Pokémon whose true identity is unknown, really need to have 2000 HP deducted first, right?

In extreme fear, Milotic was forced to regain some of its rationality and even learned to complain automatically.

"This...what is going on here?"

"Why did it feel like that Mienshao just now really wanted to kill Lurina? Is this really some kind of special event?"

"Could there be some accident?"

"And who is this 'little girl' who suddenly appeared?"

Faced with this gradually magical situation, the onlookers also began to become a little surprised and confused.

Now this situation also seems very wrong to them.

Fortunately, this farce did not last long. Just as Milotic was trying to break down the arena door and escape through the ocean, the "hideous-looking" Eruption came waving her vine whip.

She was straightforward and whipped Milotic twice, turning it from Gigantamax back to the size of a normal Pokémon.

However, even though Mienshao had lost consciousness, she still had no intention of letting him go.

She got a branch from somewhere and kept poking it on Milotic's head, as if she wanted to study the secret of how the Pokémon became so big.

Unfortunately, Milotic remained motionless and did not give any special reaction.

At the same time, a young man appeared out of nowhere.

He walked briskly to Lurina, who was still slumped on the floor, and then suddenly laughed.

"Is Galar always this dangerous? If I'm not mistaken, that wild Mienshao is already as powerful as a gym leader."

"If I wasn't here today, I'm afraid..."

The man said this and slowly shook his head.

"Every time I run into you, you seem to be in a state of crisis."

"Could this be some strange curse?"

"I think I'm just unlucky."

Lurina did not stand up. She remained sitting on the floor, hugging her bent thighs with both hands.

What just happened really scared her. Although Milotic didn't hit her in the end, she still became weak due to extreme fear.

So I'm afraid she'll have to rest for a while before she can get back on her feet.

I should have known better...

If she had been more steady and sent out six Pokémon to attack at the same time, she would not have ended up in such a desperate situation.

Even if she couldn't command six Pokémon at once, simply letting them act on their own instincts would be a big help.

"What bad luck..."

"I think it's just a lack of strength. If you had the help of Uruk-chan like me, that Mienshao wouldn't be a big problem at all."

Lurina didn't say anything else. She just shook her head silently, looking a little more helpless.

There is indeed nothing wrong with this statement, but how can it be so easy to obtain tiles?

This Erguiyan seems to be a second-level god, right? She took her head to find a second-level god.

Just then, she suddenly heard a familiar middle-aged male voice behind her:

"He's right. You are indeed too weak now."

Although the visitor was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, and dressed like a street fortune teller, Lurina immediately recognized his identity.

So she subconsciously said to the newcomer:

"President Luo Zi, why are you here?"

However, the person who answered her was not Luo Zi but the young woman next to him, whose face seemed to have the word "corporate slave" written all over it.

She had a stern face and spoke in an extremely flat and weak tone:

"If possible, the president certainly wouldn't want to come, but unfortunately there's a gym leader here that he's worried about... so he had to take some time out of his busy schedule to come here."

"Perhaps you can also feel 'honored' by this, Miss Lurina."

"What does it mean?"

Lurina felt a little uneasy.

Why does she feel that...these two have bad intentions?

"Two days ago, we received a message from your agent."

"She said you were missing and wanted to find out your whereabouts from us..."

"In addition, we have received a report in the past few days that the Shuizhou Gym is not conducting the Gym Challenge according to the rules."

The woman dressed like a corporate slave took out a document from somewhere and looked at the girl in front of her while flipping through it.

As soon as these words came out, Lurina got anxious and quickly argued:

“But I actually encountered...”

"I know this. You encountered an accident, so we don't intend to blame you for this."

"Also, we sent the guy who sold you the counterfeit products to Miss Junsha. This is considered as your 'revenge'."

"So...what's going on?"

Lurina felt that there seemed to be more and more questions in her head.

If President Luo Zi was not blaming himself for being a "miner", then why did they say that just now?

Seeing that Lurina still looked bewildered, Luo Zi sighed:

"Let me tell you."

"Haven't you realized yet? Your biggest problem right now isn't the accident you encountered, but rather, as that gentleman said... your combat effectiveness is a bit behind."

"..."

Lurina pursed her lips and said nothing.

She doesn't want to lag behind in strength or anything like that.

But what could she do? She practiced every day, but her skills just wouldn't improve.

It's not like you can improve this thing just by practicing hard.

If you could become stronger just by practicing, there wouldn't be only one Red in this world.

"In fact, there were some signs of this a long time ago."

"Logically speaking, you should be able to go further. At least Ka Wu is definitely not your opponent. But I believe you know what reality is like."

"I originally thought you would gradually realize this, and then completely put aside your modeling work and devote yourself to the battle."

"But in the end you still couldn't let it go."

"That's fine, though. Although your strength is far from matching your potential, being a Water-type Gym Leader shouldn't be a problem."

"However... I don't know what you've been through recently, but since returning from Odomare this time, your strength has clearly declined even more severely."

"If it was you in the past, how could that Mienshao have pushed you to this point? Think about it carefully."

"So...actually I want to..."

Just when President Luo Zi wanted to say something, Zi Yu, who had remained silent since the beginning, suddenly interrupted him.

"Oh, that's enough, isn't it? Why take it so seriously? It's really boring to be so aggressive, isn't it?"

"Strength is something you can't just say. It's hard for everyone to have it."

"And I can see that you're just starting to doubt whether Lurina is qualified to continue as the gym leader, right?"

"..."

"What do you want to say?"

Luo Zi did not respond to Zi Yu's words, but his secretary Olivia immediately asked a question in return.

In fact, they didn't really want to persuade Lurina to quit, but they wanted to use this as an excuse to force Lurina to quit her modeling job.

If she really resigns, Luo Zi and others won't be able to find many suitable successors.

Look at that Fairy Gym Leader... He's clearly been thinking about retiring for a long time, but he still hasn't found a suitable successor.

Let’s talk about Lurina again. She can obviously get a very generous salary just by being the owner of the museum, so why does she have to be a model?

It would be better to devote all your time to the internal competition of Pokémon battles.

This is what Roz and Olivia really think.

"What I want to say is that even if Lurina doesn't quit her modeling job, I still have a way to make her strong enough."

"At least she's definitely not worse than any of the other gym leaders besides Kibana and Nie Zi. If she uses Dynamax, she might even be able to compete with Nie Zi."

"Are you kidding me?"

Perhaps because Zi Yu's words were too fantastical, Olivia, who had originally had a stern face, was even amused by him.
