Chapter 539 Invitation from the Age of Gods
Chapter 539 Invitation from the Age of Gods
Mega Kangaskhan turned around, firmly protecting the little Kangaskhan behind him. His body suddenly tensed, and his super energy burst forth from within.
The golden light shone brightly, and the hot wind rushed against it, but could not get past it even half a step!
Within this golden light, the Mega Kangaskhan crouched low, its muscles taut like a bowstring.
Rumble!
It used its body as a spear, protecting the child as it charged toward Super Charizard X, each step causing the ground to tremble!
Li Luochen's lips curled into a smile: "Charizard, Flame Charge!"
Super Charizard X folded its wings, and a dark blue flame spread from the tip of its tail to its entire body, transforming into a blue-white fiery meteor that charged angrily toward the golden light!
Two figures rapidly approached each other in mid-air, golden light and blue flames collided, and the entire scene was illuminated by a blinding white light!
boom!!!
The shockwave exploded, sending debris flying and turning it into dust. The referee raised his hand to shield his eyes.
Golden light and blue flames intertwined to form a dazzling light curtain, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening inside.
As the light screen dissipated, the Mega Kangaskhan knelt on one knee, its entire body charred black.
The little Kangaskhan fell not far away, having already exited its Mega Evolution state. It struggled to get up, its eyes bloodshot, and limped towards its mother.
Super Charizard X hovered in mid-air, its eerie blue flames dancing at the corners of its mouth, its chest heaving violently.
It looked down at the mother and child, but did not pursue them. The flames on its body slowly subsided.
"Waaaaah!"
The baby kangaroo rushed to its mother's side, nuzzling its little head against her body and calling out anxiously a few times.
The kangaroo raised its head, used its last bit of strength to extend its paw, and gently placed it into the baby kangaroo's pouch, a slight smile playing on its lips.
Then, its eyes turned into a vortex shape, and it exited the super-evolutionary form.
Li Luochen has now won!
The referee looked for two seconds, then slowly raised his hand: "Kangaskhan is unable to battle, and all six of Gym Leader Liangshan Yun's Pokémon are unable to battle. Therefore, the winner of the promotion tournament is Minrong Gym!"
The referee's voice echoed in the stadium, each word bringing the matter to a close.
Minrong Martial Arts Academy has successfully been promoted to one of the top eight martial arts academies!
The screen was completely flooded with comments, a dense barrage of "Congratulations to Minrong Dojo!", "Li Luochen is awesome!", "A new top eight dojo is born!"
The Charizard landed beside him, its eerie blue flames on its tail gradually turning orange-red, and it tilted its head back to breathe out a thin column of fire.
Li Luochen patted its neck and looked at Liang Shanyun.
Liang Shanyun recalled his Mega Kangaskhan, put the Poké Ball back on his waist, and remained silent for a moment.
Then he stepped across the shattered ground and walked towards Li Luochen.
Li Luochen also walked towards him.
The two met in the center of the arena. Liang Shanyun extended his hand, his voice a little hoarse, but he still managed a smile: "Congratulations."
Li Luochen grasped his hand and nodded: "You flatter me."
Their hands were clasped together, and no words were exchanged.
Splash!
The audience erupted in applause.
As soon as the match ended, before Li Luochen could even return to his rest area, his phone started vibrating incessantly in his pocket.
He took it out and looked at it.
According to the league headquarters, the league's official website has been updated with the information.
Minrong Martial Arts Academy has successfully been promoted to one of the eight major martial arts academies, ranking eighth.
Back at the hotel, Li Luochen gave Bilan a generous reward.
Bilan nestled contentedly in the blankets, too lazy to even move a finger, only her rosy face showing.
Jingle bell~
Just then, the phone rang.
Li Luochen leaned against the headboard, and as soon as he put his phone to his ear, he heard Cattleya's voice on the other end: "Honey, someone named Kamishiro says he wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Li Luochen's brows twitched slightly.
The Age of Gods, the pioneering leader of the Battle Pyramids, possessed the legendary Pokémon Regirock, Registeel, and Regice.
"I understand, I'm coming right now."
Li Luochen changed his clothes and went out, quickly arriving at the Pokémon Center of the Yangcheng Alliance branch.
Kamishiro stood in the center of the hall, dressed in a military green adventure suit, looking travel-worn as if he had just emerged from some secret realm.
Seeing Li Luochen enter, he turned around with a faint smile on his lips: "Congratulations, Master Li, on your promotion to the Eight Great Dao Halls."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for people within a few meters to hear clearly.
Upon hearing Kamishiro's words, the clerk at the front desk, who was organizing documents, paused, and the employee carrying files in the corridor stopped in his tracks.
The trainers who were examining the Pokémon all looked up and stared at them.
Li Luochen's eyelids twitched.
Behind them was the territory of Guangyue Dojo. The promotion tournament had just ended a few hours ago, and the announcement of Guangyue Dojo's relegation was still posted on the homepage of the league's official website.
The fact that the god said "Congratulations" at this place and at this time is tantamount to rubbing salt into someone's wound.
He glanced at Kamishiro's open and honest face, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he really didn't know or was pretending not to know.
The surrounding employees gritted their teeth, daring not to speak out against their anger.
Given their status, not only would the branch managers have to treat them with respect, but even the branch managers would have to be polite to them.
The employees looked away, but the fire in their hearts could not be extinguished.
To expose someone's shortcomings to their face and leave them speechless—Old Deng's mouth is just too venomous.
Kamishiro himself seemed completely unfazed, smiling as he looked at Li Luochen: "My battle pyramid is right next to me, why don't you come and sit down with me?"
"OK."
Led by the gods, Li Luochen arrived at the Battle Pyramid.
The interior of the pyramid was quieter than I had imagined; footsteps echoed between the walls on either side.
Jindai walked ahead at a moderate pace, his military green adventure suit almost blending into the stone wall in the dim light.
Then, Kamishiro pushed open a door and led Li Luochen inside.
The room was small and simply furnished, with a wooden table, two chairs, a yellowed calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, and a neatly trimmed pine bonsai in the corner.
Shen Dai gestured for Li Luochen to sit down, then turned and took out a tea set from the cabinet.
The process of warming the teapot, cups, tea leaves, and water is fluid and efficient, clearly demonstrating that the person is a seasoned tea drinker.
He pushed a cup of tea in front of Li Luochen. The tea was golden and clear, with wisps of steam rising and a delicate orchid fragrance.
"Master Li, I've heard you have some knowledge of the tea ceremony." Shen Dai picked up his teacup, gently blew away the foam, but his gaze quietly fell on Li Luochen's face from above the rim of the cup. "Try my tea."
Li Luochen picked up the teacup, but didn't rush to drink it. He first smelled it and then took a small sip.
It has a rich and mellow taste with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
He put down his teacup and nodded: "Good tea."
Shen Dai smiled slightly, put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and looked through the wisps of tea smoke to Li Luochen's face: "If Master Li likes it, take two catties back later."
"I cannot accept a reward without merit; I dare not accept Mr. Kamishiro's fine tea so casually."
Li Luochen waved his hand and politely declined, saying, "Mr. Kamishiro, let's not beat around the bush, just say what's on your mind!"
"Then I'll be frank."
Kamishiro's expression turned solemn: "Master Li Luochen, I would like to invite you to accompany me to the Galar region!"
