Chapter 142 Four Heavenly Kings Kona
Chapter 142 Four Heavenly Kings Kona
Chapter 142 Lorelei, one of the Four Heavenly Kings (combined into one chapter)
The posters at the Pokémon Center prominently displayed:
[Master Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, will return to his hometown of Metropolis to preach the art of battling ice and water.]
Stay tuned!
"I heard that Master Kona has a villa nearby, and she even holds special exhibition matches during her lectures!"
Xiaoxia took the brochure from the staff member next to her and read it carefully several times, becoming very excited.
Let's go see it together!
"Xiaoxia, you like Master Kona that much?"
Although Ash knew that Misty idolized Lorelei, her fanaticism to this extent seemed beyond that of an ordinary fangirl.
"Of course, she is the most skilled in using ice and water-type attacks among the Four Heavenly Kings."
Reaching out to touch the poster, Xiaoxia's face was full of longing. "My dream is to become a trainer like her—"
The poster shows Connor with a dignified and aloof expression, and the glasses she wears add to her intellectual air.
Especially those surging waves that are impossible to look away from—
Yes, this is our explosively beautiful Master Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who gets banned as soon as she appears.
"If Xiaoxia could become that kind of woman, I would wholeheartedly approve."
"Hey, you seem to be thinking about something really rude!"
However, this immediately piqued Ash's interest.
The opportunity to fight against the Four Heavenly Kings is very rare, so it's something you can't miss.
He immediately ran to the front desk of the center and asked Miss Joey about the conditions for becoming a guest at the exhibition match.
But to everyone's surprise, Nurse Joy apologized to Ash and the others with a troubled expression.
Because Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia arrived a few days late.
Now you can only register to participate in the presentation sessions; the spots for the performance competition were already filled long ago.
Ash was devastated to lose the chance to battle the Elite Four.
I was feeling a bit down during lunch.
"Oh dear, I should have come sooner!"
"Serves you right! Who told you to stay on Insect Island for so long!"
It seems that Xiaoxia still harbors resentment towards Insect Island.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. At least there's a presentation, and people can go ask Master Kona for autographs, right, Togepi?"
"Pokpi~"
Xiaoxia carefully cut the sandwich into small pieces for Pokobi, a sweet smile on her face.
She was especially happy whenever she could see Kona.
But Ash can't do that, he wants to battle, he wants to battle!
"Ah, I really want to see Kona!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Kona's Secret Garden": Please infiltrate Kona's villa and have a secret rendezvous with her!]

"This damn system keeps coming up with all sorts of ideas!"
Xiao Zhi felt exhausted by this despicable system that always encouraged others to commit crimes.
How could Xiaozhi, a model young man with a pure heart and noble character, associate with such a thing!
However, it's worth attending the presentations.
After all, Lorelei is an expert who specializes in using Water and Ice-type Pokémon.
She must have unique insights into training Pokémon.
Actually, Ash is currently facing a bit of a headache, which is that he feels he has hit a bottleneck in training Pokémon lately.
It doesn't feel as smooth as before, and newly caught Pokémon don't seem to increase affection or friendship levels as much.
Of the newly captured Pokémon, Onix is the one I have the best relationship with.
However, the intimacy and affection levels only reach a mere 40.
Could it be that there's something wrong with my training methods?
I'm still training and battling with my Pokémon every day, just like before.
Actually, it was because Ash was lucky; most of the Pokémon he caught in the Kanto region happened to like battling.
The Southern Water-type Pokémon he encounters now are generally quite peaceful, which is making him a bit confused.
While Ash was thinking, Misty suddenly widened her eyes, pointed behind Ash, and began to stammer.
"Hehehe, Kona Master!"
"Huh? Is it really Lorelei from the Elite Four?" Ash quickly turned his head.
"Why would she come to a small restaurant like this?"
To Xiao Zhi's surprise, when he turned around, he found that there was indeed a mature woman behind him wearing a blue coat and a fitted long skirt, with a very voluptuous figure.
"It's here! A wild Lorelei!"
I never expected to see her here; she looks even prettier in person than in the poster.
Ash immediately pulled out his Poké Ball and extended an invitation to her.
"Let's battle, Elite Four member Lorelei!"
But because of the unexpected appearance of the Elite Four, several passersby suddenly gathered around Ash's dining table.
The area was immediately surrounded and completely blocked.
And the first one to rush forward was Xiaoxia, who directly pushed Xiaozhi aside.
"Master Kona, I admire you so much! Could you please give me your autograph?"
"How can I improve the skills of Water-type Pokémon?"
"Master Kona, why are you here? Do you return to this island every year?"
"Master Kona—"
In an instant, they started chattering and making a racket.
But to everyone's surprise, Kona completely ignored the people around her and instead bent down to look at Togepi on the table.
"What an adorable baby! Please take good care of me."
She smiled and reached out to tease the little one.
"Don't these Four Heavenly Kings listen to anyone?"
After greeting Togepi, Kona leaned against the railing outside the restaurant and calmly gazed at the sea.
"Hey, Master Kona, what are you doing?"
Ash was a little confused about the purpose of the Elite Four's visit. Was it simply to say hello to Togepi?
Lorelei turned to Ash with a sweet and innocent smile.
"I love basking in the sunshine the most."
What was she saying?!
"Master Kona, I'd like to hear your lecture. When does it start?"
Listen carefully, listen to the sound of the wind—
Xiaoxia's question was once again brilliantly ignored by her.
"Master Kona, please challenge me to a duel!"
"The sea breeze here is wonderful!" (That battle—)
Seeing that Master Kona seemed to be immersed in her own world, the people around her dispersed without disturbing her.
But Ash wouldn't give up easily, persistently taking the Poké Ball to her side and issuing a battle challenge.
Unexpectedly, Lorelei, who was originally looking at the sea, heard Ash's words and...
First, he calmly stared at Xiaozhi's face without saying a word.
Xiao Zhi was completely dumbfounded.
Then she suddenly pulled Ash into her arms, burying his head in her ample bosom.
"Your mind is too restless; calm down."
"Feel the heart of a Pokémon just as you feel the trajectory of the waves on the sea."
This "Four Heavenly Kings" has a mature and sophisticated vibe, but she also seems a bit adorable.
So big, so soft, so fragrant, it feels like being immersed in the ocean.
Ash originally wanted to firmly refuse Lorelei, but she was too big.
Ash was almost won over by her incredibly generous heart.
"You've completely fallen for him!" Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi with envy.
"Damn it, I wish I could lean against Master Lorelei like that too!"
Unfortunately, Lorelei only allowed Ash to lean on her for a short while.
Let him listen to the sound of the waves, then let go of Xiaozhi and continue to lean on the railing, gazing at the distant sea.
It seems there's little hope for a battle today, so Ash can only leave without disturbing them.
Unexpectedly, I ran into a trainer as soon as I stepped off the balcony of this restaurant.
Because Master Kona recently came to the metropolis, the atmosphere of battle in the city is very intense.
As soon as the other person saw Ash with Pikachu, they immediately challenged Ash.
"Hmph! Since our eyes have met, let's fight!"
Because he missed the chance to battle the Elite Four, Ash is now itching to fight.
"I choose you, Pikachu!"
But before Pikachu could even enter the arena, Oshawott jumped out of its Poké Ball on its own.
"Rice wine, rice wine."
So ordinary Pokémon can come out of their Poké Balls at will, huh? It seems Misty's Psyduck can too. "Psyduck—" Ash had a bad feeling again.
"Otter, do you want to fight?"
"Rice wine, rice wine!"
Then it pushed Pikachu behind it, patted its chest, and gave Ash a confident look.
"Alright, it's you then, Otter!"
At that moment, his opponent also sent out his Pokémon, "Go, Persian!"
This cat was very imposing; it roared at the otter as soon as it appeared.
The otter was truly startled, its little face turning pale as it hurriedly hid behind Ash.
"Didn't you say you'd be playing?"
"Rice wine, rice wine."
After an awkward laugh, Oshawott pushed Pikachu, which was also standing next to Ash's feet, forward a little.
"Rice wine, rice wine." (You should go first.)
"No, since you said you'd do it, then you'll do it, and you jumped out of the Poké Ball on your own initiative."
Heroes are not allowed to desert their posts!
The water otter also tried to use its big, cute eyes as a weapon, hoping to get away with it.
Unfortunately, Ash is a guy whose entire body is as hard as a rock.
They forcibly brought the water otter to the battlefield.
The battle has officially begun.
"Otter, Shell Blade!"
"Boss Cat, 100,000 Volts!"
It turned out to be the cat boss carrying the 100,000-volt skill. With a nimble leap, it dodged the otter's shell blade.
The cat stretched out its tail and fired a yellow lightning bolt from the end of its tail, successfully hitting the target with 100,000 volts.
The effect was outstanding, causing a great deal of damage.
"Rice wine~" The otter's body was instantly charred black, and it exhaled smoke rings, but it still managed to hold on and did not collapse.
"Go, Otter! Use Water Jet!"
This is a new skill that the water otter learned during its special training on Insect Island.
However, it seems that it still cannot open its eyes even in the spray of water.
The water jets flew wildly across the field, completely missing the Persian, and even flew towards Ash.
To prevent the otter from getting hurt, Ash directly blocked the attack and then sent it back to the battlefield.
"Boss Cat, use 100,000 Volts again!"
As expected, the already dizzy and disoriented otter was struck by 100,000 volts again.
Ultimately, it lost its ability to fight.
"Oh dear, this won't do. The water otters need even more intensive training!"
"Rice wine~" The water otter, having lost the game, also looked dejected.
"That's not how you do it," Kona's voice suddenly came from upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Kona had been watching the battle the whole time. She gently walked over and lifted the otter's face.
"It can't open its eyes in the water, probably not because it hasn't been trained enough—"
"So what should we do?" Ash still hoped to get guidance from the Elite Four in training Pokémon.
But then Kona ignored everyone and started talking to herself about how nice the weather was and how great the wind sounded.
That adorable airhead.
However, after a long while, Lorelei smiled and looked up at Ash.
"You seem very powerful, but that's your own strength, not that of a Pokémon. The training methods that suit you may not suit Pokémon."
"Come to my villa after the exhibition match tomorrow."
A voluptuous older woman extended an invitation to the muscular young boy, Xiaozhi, saying, "Come to my house and see something good."
"I accept your challenge."
After hesitating for 0.1 seconds, Xiao Zhi reluctantly agreed.
Because if Xiaoxia disagrees, she'll have to agree on Xiaozhi's behalf.
She was incredibly excited to be able to visit her idol's home.
"Let's go to Master Kona's house~"
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a new side quest "Challenge the Ice Elite Four!": Please battle Lorelei, one of the Elite Four from the Kanto region.]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Special Attack +1; Free Attribute Points +2]
Great! It looks like Ash will be able to complete two tasks at once.
Kona's exhibition match began the next day.
Ash and his friends arrived at the Metropolitan Arena early on, but to their surprise, Lorelei on the battlefield was completely different from her usual self.
She changed from her innocent and naive expression to that of an ice queen.
No wonder Xiaoxia admires her; she's a woman with a surprising personality!
There are six exhibition matches, all of which are one-on-one battles.
The first challenger was a middle-aged man who confidently displayed his towering and powerful strength.
Because he also had a main Machamp, Little Intelligence could tell that the uncle's Machamp was well-trained.
Then Kona's Slowpoke used a 100-ton punch to instantly defeat him.
"That's terrible, it had no chance at all." Ash wondered if his own Machamp could defeat Lorelei's Slowbro.
"He'll be a bit stronger than the older man, but he'll probably still lose in the end—"
"Kona is much stronger than Akihime, who is also a Champion-level player."
Of course, this comparison is quite unfair, since A-Ju has been slacking off for several years, and he also threw the match during the dojo competition.
Moreover, the current Kanto Four Heavenly Kings are all champion-level in strength, so they are naturally much stronger than A-Ju.
The second match featured a little girl sending out a Marowak, which was then defeated by Lorelei's White Seal with a single Aurora Beam.
The white Delicious in Cerulean City Gym is just there to be cute; it really shows the difference between Pokémon. The third challenger was Ash's old acquaintance, Kadabra.
Unsurprisingly, it was frozen into a block of ice by Lorelei's Cloyster with a single Blizzard attack and was defeated.
The following matches followed a similar path.
Except for Gengar in the last battle, which managed to hold out for a little longer, every single one of the others was a one-hit kill.
"Is this the strength of a champion? They're really strong."
Without using Mewtwo, Ash really doesn't know how many of her Pokémon he could defeat.
