Several hours later.
“Are we leaving now? Ah Sheng.”
The Life Card locking onto Zorua's location was ready, and the rescue plan had been deployed. Lihua felt that they should be able to take action now.
“Yes.”
Su Sheng nodded.
To be honest, facing a powerhouse of Liubo's level, Su Sheng would usually want to deploy the plan in more detail and more meticulously.
But considering that Zorua was still in Liubo's hands, even though the Life Card showed that it was not in mortal danger.
Su Sheng was still very worried.
“Then I'll contact Yishu.”
Lihua was about to call Yishu, who was far away in Kaji Town, monitoring Liubo.
Su Sheng suddenly felt something strange coming from his waist.
Looking down.
A Pokémon Egg loaded in a red and white Poké Ball was trembling slightly.
That was the Swablu's egg that Su Sheng got from Bishas!
Actually at this time…
Su Sheng immediately released the Pokémon Egg and carried it into the infirmary.
All kinds of treatment equipment were immediately arranged.
And Bewear jumped out of the ball without saying a word.
The degree of anxiety on his face was no less than that of Su Sheng.
“Don Oh～Don Oh～”
Bewear changed into the white coat hanging outside the infirmary for himself and Su Sheng, put on a mask, and handed one to Su Sheng.
Lihua wanted to enter the infirmary to see, but was blocked by Bewear, the serious look in his eyes behind the mask seemed to say "No unauthorized personnel allowed".
At this moment, Bewear was just like a doctor.
But it's true to say that, during the time he was subdued by Su Sheng, in order to better take care of the unborn Swablu, Bewear kept learning medical knowledge by Su Sheng's side.
Not only did he learn how to use various medical devices, but he even learned how to prepare potions for treating Pokémon.
Lihua and Yishu were dumbfounded.
I thought he was a warrior, but you're a civil servant.
Su Sheng was very calm about this, after all, the Kapu Kumu in the anime felt like he was about to build a Gundam.
What's wrong with being a doctor now?
Crack～crack～
The Pokémon Egg placed on the medical table by Su Sheng cracked on its own.
It's coming out!
“Don Oh!”
Bewear looked at the Pokémon Egg with more and more cracks on its face with excitement.
Have you finally waited until this moment?
Baby, come to Mommy's arms!
However, the cracks that spread from the top of the egg to the surroundings only extended to the middle of the eggshell before there was no movement.
“Don Oh!?”
The expectation in Bewear's eyes suddenly turned into horror.
“Bewear, hurry! Get the ECG and monitor!”
Su Sheng shouted.
“Don Oh!”
Bewear immediately came back to his senses, his movements were busy and orderly, he turned on the ECG, and handed the catheter to Su Sheng.
Su Sheng attached the medical catheter to the eggshell.
The ECG fluctuation line of the Swablu's life in the egg was quickly displayed on the screen.
“Damn it! Does this child not even have the strength to break the eggshell on its own?”
Su Sheng gritted his teeth.
Nine out of ten Pokémon are born by breaking the eggshell from the inside.
And this Swablu was abnormally weak, and couldn't even break the eggshell with its own strength.
“Bewear, get the CPR machine and infusion pump!”
Su Sheng's face was already very dark when he said these words.
Based on the state shown by Swablu, even if it can be successfully born, but…alas, the future is full of hardships.
……
Lihua, who had been waiting outside the operating room for half an hour, finally saw the indicator light on the door frame turn from red to green.
Is it over!?
The door opened, and Su Sheng took a step out. Lihua quickly stepped forward and asked, "Ah Sheng, how is it?"
Su Sheng stepped aside, and Bewear walked out of the room, holding a bird-like Pokémon that looked as fragile as glass with both big hands carefully.
Swablu!
“This child……”
Even Lihua, who knew nothing about medicine, saw the problem at a glance.
This Swablu was too small and too thin.
Although Pokémon are only that big when they are first born.
But this Swablu was too mini, only the size of a palm.
“Don Oh～”
Bewear hunched over, rubbing his side face against Swablu.
As if to say "Don't be afraid, we will protect you".
“We will make her grow up healthy, definitely.”
Su Sheng also reached out and gently stroked Swablu's soft wings.
Lihua followed closely, touching Swablu's other wing.
At this moment, the little thing finally opened its eyes and saw this world for the first time.
Different from her mother's hellish experience before her death.
All she felt when she came to this world was full of love.
……
……
A few days later, inside the Kaji Gym.
A chill that made one's whole body stand on end rippled and overflowed, forming an ice storm, blowing the blue-clothed girl's beautiful hair standing in the command area to scatter in a mess.
The girl subconsciously raised her hand to protect her face.
When the cold wind dissipated, the blue-clothed girl looked forward again.
She found that her Kingdra had been frozen in a small iceberg.
“It's a pity, it's just a little bit away, Xiaozhuang.”
Liubo sat in a wheelchair in the command area on the other side, smiling at Xiaozhuang.
In front of Liubo was a Seel.
“As expected of Liubo, the top Gym Trainer in our Chengdu, it seems that I am still a little early to take over my father's class.”
Xiaozhuang took back the Kingdra and expressed her admiration.
Yanshi City is not far from Kaji Town, so Xiaozhuang, as the next Yanshi Gym Leader, occasionally comes to Kaji Town to ask Liubo for advice.
“I was able to win this time only because of the advantage of the attribute. I, the old man, have nothing more to teach you. You can go to a stronger Gym Leader to ask for advice.”
Liubo, who was releasing water, smiled kindly.
He was now thinking about how to confess to Su Sheng without revealing his identity.
But he had no time to play house with Xiaozhuang.
In fact, Xiaozhuang's talent was also okay, and Liubo had also thought about whether to tie her over and train her to be his subordinate.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
After all, Xiaozhuang's background was too big.
Once something happened to her, she would face the pursuit of the entire Yulong family.
It was also for this reason that Liubo's target was basically Xiaolan, a small town exam taker with extraordinary talent but also from an ordinary background.
And Xiaoyin also had a background, but Banmu didn't dare to say that he had a son to the outside world, so he could only swallow this loss silently.
After Xiaozhuang exchanged a few words with Liubo, he turned and left.
Liubo, who took back the Seel, stroked the little wild boar in his arms with one hand, and twisted his eyebrows with the other, still thinking about how to get Su Sheng.
The twelve or thirteen-year-old ghost is already more mature in mind, not so easy to fool, let alone a genius like Su Sheng.
In that case, can only use his true face and that Zorua to threaten that kid?
This will inevitably arouse Su Sheng's rebellion and revenge, and the risk is a bit high.
But it seems that there is no other way.
For his Lapras, Liubo had already embarked on a road of no return.
“There's no way, let's go to Alola tomorrow.”
Liubo finally decided to go to Alola as a Masked Man tomorrow, and use the two cards of Zorua and his identity to threaten Su Sheng to work for him.
“I'm sorry to bother you.”
Just then, the gate of the Kaji Gym was opened for the second time.
Hearing this voice, Liubo raised his head sharply.
Who came in from outside the door if not Su Sheng!?
To be honest, there were not many things that could surprise Liubo, the only master-level powerhouse in the world, but Su Sheng happened to do it at this moment.
Liubo's eyes on the wheelchair widened.
Good fellow, I didn't come to you, but you came to me first?!
Wait!
The next second, Liubo realized something was wrong.
He shouldn't have exposed his identity, right?
Recalling the battle in Lishu Forest, Liubo didn't think he had left any flaws.
If he had to say, I'm afraid he only used the ice-type main force Delibird.
And he was the only ice-type Gym Trainer in the Chengdu area.
“It should just be the stage of suspicion…”
Liubo thought to himself, then put on the same kind old grandfather smile as Sarutobi Hiruzen:
“Young man, are you here to challenge the Gym?”
Su Sheng, who was walking in the front of the trio, nodded, "Yes, I heard that Grandpa Liubo, nicknamed [Permanent Ice Wall], is the strongest Gym Trainer in Chengdu, so I couldn't help but want to challenge him."
“Hehe, I don't dare to take the name of 'strongest'. Gym Leader Axiong of Yanshi Gym and Gym Leader Aiertais of Asagi Gym are stronger than me.”
Liubo was humble on the surface, but thought to himself:
“I should only be in the suspected stage at the moment. This kid wants to expose my flaws through the battle... In that case, let's perfunctory him.”
In just a few seconds, Liubo had already formulated a strategy in his mind——
First, release water to dispel Su Sheng's suspicion of himself, and then send Delibird to follow him. After this kid leaves Kaji Town to go to other places or return to Alola, he will contact him as a Masked Man, and use Zorua and the hidden identity of Joker to threaten him to do things for himself.
Well, after formulating the perfect plan, Liubo spoke again:
“Then, the competition rule is 2 vs 2. When all of one side's Pokémon lose their ability to fight, they will be directly judged as a loss, no problem?”
“Of course, please give me some advice, senior.”
Su Sheng looked like he was humbly asking for advice.
“Go～Seel.”
Liubo showed his palm, and a Seel jumped out of the ball on its own.
It was the Seel that had just fought against Xiaozhuang's Kingdra.
However, the current Seel did not have the panting look of "barely winning" against Kingdra just now.
If Xiaozhuang was still here, she would definitely be dumbfounded.
You weren't like this just now!
Could it be that the characteristic is "Regenerator"?
“I'll leave it to you, Bewear!”
Su Sheng threw out the Poké Ball.
When Bewear landed, it immediately caused the ice layer originally attached to the ground to crack.
Liubo raised his head slightly.
This Bewear has an amazing momentum.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is going to play a "fake match", it doesn't matter if he loses, as long as he doesn't act too much.
“The challenger goes first.”
Liubo raised his hand to signal.
“Then I won't be polite, Grandpa.”
Su Sheng raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at the Seel opposite.
“Million Ton Punch”
Bewear raised his right fist, bursting out with a pure white light, and in the next second, he took a step and rushed towards the opposite Seel.
Looking at Bewear rushing towards him like a heavy armored chariot, Seel was secretly startled.
This bear is completely different from the weak sea horse just now.
“Surf.”
When Bewear rushed to a distance of less than two meters from Seel, Liubo finally ordered.
Seel's pupils shrank, and waves rolled up under him.
The waves that rose out of thin air were like somersault clouds, rolling Seel to a height of six or seven meters, so as to avoid Bewear's punch.
“Aurora Beam.”
Liubo ordered for the second time.
Seel at the high place lowered his head and opened his mouth.
The rainbow-colored cold light directly attacked the Bewear below.
“So powerful, as expected of the top three Gym Trainers in Chengdu.”
Lihua exclaimed deliberately.
“Don Oh!”
Flames burned on Bewear's left arm, blocking it in front of him, allowing the ice-type Aurora Beam to fall.
It's Fire Punch!
“Actually using this method to resist Aurora Beam.”
Liubo was slightly stunned.
Not only is he a scientific research mind, but he is also so excellent in battle?
But that's right, after all, you are the Joker who has repeatedly defeated Yulongdu.
“Million Ton Punch.”
Hearing Su Sheng's order, Bewear's left hand's Fire Punch was still resisting Seel's Aurora Beam.
Then he turned around in place, and the right fist shining with white light slammed into the waves under Seel from the air.
Boom——!
A big hole was immediately broken in the waves as high as six or seven meters.
Even the wall behind Liubo had a big fist print.
This scene was very similar to the famous scene in Su Sheng's previous life movie "Kung Fu".
Liubo was secretly startled.
Good boy, where did you subdue such a sturdy Bewear?
And in the battlefield, Seel, who lost his foothold, also fell from the sky.
Liubo opened his mouth: "Seel, Ice Beam."
Based on the strength shown by Su Sheng, Liubo felt that he could lose after two more attacks.
After all, the persona he set for the alliance was just an elite Gym Leader, that is to say, the strength of the "quasi-Heavenly King" in many people's mouths.
But in order not to act too much, let's struggle symbolically.
The sharp corners on the top of the falling Seel's head accumulated silver-white ice-cold energy, and he was about to launch the ice-type signature move Ice Beam.
“Swablu, do it!”
Su Sheng shouted.
“Huh?”
Although he had been frightened by Su Sheng several times today, when he heard this, Liubo couldn't help but wonder if he was getting old and had hearing problems?
What was that kid saying?
Swablu?
Isn't he using Bewear?
The next second, Liubo only felt something hit his side waist.
“What is it!?”
Liubo's face changed drastically, and the little wild boar in his arms instantly noticed the abnormality, turned his head and opened his mouth to the left, and was about to release Blizzard.
However, the trio on the opposite side took action!
“Dai Dai! Lulu! Bibi!”
“Houndoom! Incineroar!”
“Natu!”
The three called out six Pokémon and ordered them to use the same move——
Heat Wave!
The Heat Wave is already a high-power move among Fire-type skills, and now the trio is unleashing it together with their six main Pokémon.
It's as if the entire space of the Mahogany Town Gym has been dyed fiery red.
Even the surrounding walls and ceiling are being burned into liquid by the terrifying heat, and then into crystal in the next second!
Pryce's eyes reflected a world turned fiery red.
The Swinub, which had just turned its head to the left a second ago, felt the heat it hated so much.
To protect its master, it immediately turned its head back, unleashing Blizzard head-on.
From the Swinub's small mouth, which didn't even feel as big as a billiard ball, it released tiny wind pressure and snowflakes.
However, in the instant these snowflakes came out.
The tiny snowflakes instantly swelled to the size of fists, and the raging blizzard carried a chill that could freeze everything in the world, fiercely meeting the opposing Heat Wave sextet!
"Is that really a Swinub?!"
Even Bugsy behind Natu was dumbfounded.
Facing the trio's six-in-one combination technique, and in a situation where the type matchup was unfavorable.
It could actually contend with it on its own!?
Damn, is that Swinub perhaps a Kyurem in disguise?!
While his Swinub was contending with Su Sheng and the others.
At this moment, Pryce keenly noticed.
The Bewear, originally in the center of the battlefield, was quickly retreating behind Su Sheng, seemingly holding something in its hands.
Rumble——
Finally, the Mahogany Town Gym couldn't withstand the impact of the ice and fire, and began to collapse.
The ceiling split and fell.
Seeing this, Swinub immediately used Ice Beam to create an ice wall to help its master block the falling rocks.
And Su Sheng's trio seized this opportunity, hurriedly escaping from the back door.
……
……
Rumble rumble——
The Mahogany Town Gym completely collapsed.
"Huff... huff... huff... I... I swear... he, he's definitely a masked man..."
Bugsy, who had escaped from the Mahogany Town Gym, gasped for breath as he was supported by Su Sheng.
The Blizzard from that Swinub just now was too terrifying.
Judging from that power, it felt like Pryce hadn't used his full strength in the Azalea Town battle before!
"D-did we get it?"
Whitney's condition wasn't much better, but she couldn't care less about her own situation right now, turning her head to ask Bewear.
"Chiri~ Chiri~"
A voice that was obviously not Bewear's came from Bewear's body.
In the next second, a Pokémon gradually revealed its true colors from Bewear's arms.
It was the small Swablu that had just hatched two days ago.
And on her body, she was wearing a black cloak.
It was the same model as Su Sheng's trio's stealth combat suit.
"Chiri~ Chiri~"
The small Swablu, whose size was not much bigger than an adult's palm, held a shrunken Poké Ball in its beak, and flew to Su Sheng's shoulder with a smile, delivering the Poké Ball to its master's hand.
"Well done, Swablu, you defeated the strongest trainer of this era."
Su Sheng gave Swablu a thumbs up.
"A Sheng, I don't quite understand, although wearing a stealth suit, Pryce's Swinub is a Pokémon that surpasses the Champion level after all, it... can't it sense an enemy sneaking up on its master?"
Bugsy raised a question.
"First of all, Swinub isn't a Pokémon known for its perception, secondly, Swablu is very weak, so weak that her presence can be completely ignored."
Compared to canine Pokémon with keen senses and Psychic-type Pokémon.
The Ground + Ice-type Swinub doesn't have much advantage in perception ability, even if it's at the Master level.
Of course, Pryce's Swinub has grown to this point, so it naturally has a sense of danger.
If Bewear or Umbreon approached in stealth, Swinub would definitely be able to detect it.
But Swablu is different.
She's weak, too weak, so weak that her presence is infinitely close to 0.
Swinub wasn't good at perception in the first place, and its attention was drawn by its colleague who was fighting.
Naturally, it was even more impossible to detect Swablu's approach.
The weakest Pokémon took the strongest head!
Su Sheng's Swablu can be said to have reached its peak at birth!
Su Sheng then looked down at the Pokémon in this Poké Ball - Lapras!
That's right, this is the Lapras that Pryce values the most, and also wants to send back to the past to meet its parents - Glacier.
It can be said that everything Pryce does is for it.
I think I'm really a bit sick in the head. I burst out and wrote 10,000 words in the morning, but in the afternoon I felt dissatisfied, and I spent an afternoon revising and deleting, and in the end there were only 5,000 words left.
Rounding it up, I didn't save any drafts today at all.
I'm tired.
Update is here, thank you for listening to my complaints.
I'll organize the outline again tonight.
