The next morning, when Su Sheng woke up, he was almost scared to death when he saw Walnut and Rika sitting together watching the news.
Su Sheng really didn't do anything last night.
Besides, the dog author knew that a reader had gone straight in for speeding while driving.
Su Sheng himself wouldn't be such a beast as to lay his hands on a 10-year-old girl.
Seeing Su Sheng's expression, Rika found it funny.
Thinking about whether to scare him, but remembering that she had just experienced such a big battle yesterday, she patted the position next to her to signal Su Sheng to sit down.
Su Sheng, who couldn't understand what Rika was up to, finally sat down.
It's just that the position was a bit subtle, between the two of them.
"Walnut is very brave, a good girl."
Rika said with emotion.
She had heard about Walnut's matter from Kiki at the banquet yesterday.
Even Rika had to admit that Walnut really risked her life for Su Sheng, or rather, for Joker.
"That's why I told her my real identity, but I didn't expect..."
Su Sheng now understood why Walnut had the room card to his room.
"Little Walnut, you saw what happened yesterday, right? It's very dangerous to get too close to me. If it was to repay the favor at the Goldenrod Station back then, it's already been repaid. In the future..."
Walnut remained silent, just looking at Su Sheng with stubborn eyes.
"She's very persistent, you know. It wouldn't be appropriate if you refuse again."
Rika said with a smile.
Su Sheng, hearing the meaning in Rika's words, immediately looked at her with a ghostly expression.
"Is my opposition useful? How many women have you provoked? Even if I object, you won't change, will you?"
Rika said a little unhappily.
Although she hadn't officially talked to Su Sheng about this topic.
But from the process of getting along for so many years, Rika also felt that Su Sheng would never lack companions in the future.
And to ask this dog man to give up a forest for her tree... to be honest, Rika herself didn't believe it.
After all, even Rika's own father, Ritsuki, kept women outside.
Even Rika's deceased mother had complained to her aunts about her father's behavior—telling a man with tens of billions of assets not to go out and play is harder than asking him to earn another ten billion.
Rika's father was just a mere real estate developer, and he was already like this.
Not to mention Su Sheng.
From Su Sheng's attitude towards Latios and Latias, Rika could see Su Sheng's attitude towards matters of love between men and women—if you want to be together, then continue; if you want to leave, I won't force you.
Just like he said to Latios before, "I may not be the type of trainer you like, but you can follow me for a while first, and tell me anytime you want to leave."
Even though Su Sheng and she were now in a life-and-death relationship, if one day in the future, she fell out with Su Sheng because of this matter.
Rika could even imagine the scene at that time—
Su Sheng would say to her with a gentle face, "Are you leaving? Then I wish you happiness, and tell me anytime you have any difficulties."
Thinking of this, Rika herself struggled for a long time.
As a normal woman, she certainly didn't want to share her lover with others.
But she was even more unwilling to leave.
And at this time, Walnut appeared.
After communicating with Walnut and understanding what this little girl had done for Su Sheng during this time.
Rika couldn't help but feel like, "If I were a man, I would have to break two of my ribs to make soup for this girl."
Even when facing Walnut, Rika unexpectedly felt a little guilty.
Because although she, Rika, had been by Su Sheng's side for a longer time, and her strength was needless to say, she was the stronger one.
But to be honest, Su Sheng was the one helping her.
Whether it was raising Pokémon, formulating a revenge plan, or even daily life, etc.
And the only reward Rika gave Su Sheng was the Latios and Latias siblings.
And it was still through the channels obtained by borrowing Su Sheng and Giovanni's relationship.
And Walnut did so many things, relying on herself.
For a time, Rika felt that if she worked with such a sensible little girl, it seemed... not so unacceptable.
Su Sheng scratched his head foolishly.
Anyway, he didn't expect that what he said to Latios back then would make Rika think so much.
But... does this mean that she agrees with him having a multiple-girlfriend setup?
As one of the people in this world who probably knows Su Sheng the best, Rika knows whether he just wants to fart the moment Su Sheng moves.
And seeing his expression, she immediately guessed what this guy was thinking, and said a little unhappily, "Lucky you."
Hearing this, Su Sheng immediately put his arm around Rika's slender waist, and on the other side, he grabbed Walnut's small hand.
Walnut shivered fiercely, noticed the look Rika gave her, and said cautiously, "Then, um, Sister Rika, I, I'll be the younger one."
……
When they arrived at the hotel restaurant, Walnut had already gone back.
After all, unlike Su Sheng, who came from an orphanage, she had parents.
After being missing for more than half a month, she had to hurry back to report that she was safe.
When they arrived at the hotel's own Pokémon Center.
Nurse Joy gave Su Sheng a tray containing Poké Balls after getting his autograph with a face full of admiration, "Doctor, your Pokémon recovered very well last night."
"Um, thank..."
Before Su Sheng could say the second "thank" word, one of the red and white balls popped open on its own.
Zacian jumped out of it, glaring fiercely at Su Sheng and the Great Ball on Su Sheng's belt, her mature voice sounded in Su Sheng's mind:
【Explain to me!】
Bang~ Bang~
Two Poké Balls popped open on their own.
Bewear and Zamazenta pulled Zacian from the left and right.
Making it difficult for this top legend to move for a while.
Zamazenta: 【Sister, calm down, there are too many people here, it's not suitable to talk】
Bewear: 【Asheng won't be wrong, don't mess around!】
Hearing the dissuasion from her good younger brother and Bewear, who should be considered her sister-in-law, Zacian barely restrained her temper and coldly dropped a sentence 【Give me an answer within two days】, then temporarily returned to the Poké Ball.
Of course, Zacian did not become Su Sheng's Pokémon.
It's just because she's too big, so it's more convenient to live in here.
After all, she was also upset about being pointed at like a monkey on the way to the hotel yesterday.
……
The trio gathered and came to the restaurant.
On TV, Damaracchi was accepting an early morning news interview, saying: "This time, the alliance can overcome the difficulties. Asheng is naturally a well-deserved hero, but we must not forget the contributions of others. Each of them is a hero of the alliance, a hero of this world. Those who have made great contributions in this war, Wallace, Cynthia, and Diantha, are all qualified to immediately serve as the league champions of various regions..."
"He's accepting interviews early in the morning. The old man is over sixty years old, right? He's working hard."
Itsuki said, stuffing a Napoleon cake into his mouth.
I remember that Damaracchi was busy before and after the banquet yesterday.
"With such a big thing happening, there are many follow-up things to deal with, and Joker's matter... makes the alliance very passive."
Rika didn't say much and closed her mouth in time, because many people from the alliance came in.
"Hi~ Mr. Wallace, Mr. Mikuri."
Su Sheng took the initiative to speak:
"Miss Cynthia, long time no see. Miss Diantha, it's our first time meeting, right?"
"Hey~ Our alliance heroes are treating us differently, right?"
Mikuri joked half-jokingly:
"Wallace and I were just 'hi' and sent away?"
"Beautiful ladies always have special treatment."
Su Sheng said with a smile.
Rika looked at the two women with some vigilance.
Although she had been relatively relieved about Su Sheng's emotional aspects.
But it's better to have less, of course.
And in Rika's opinion, even if a few more come, it's best to have a soft girl like Walnut who is easy to handle.
Cynthia like this, at first glance, is not easy to deal with.
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Su Sheng, I am Diantha from the Kalos region."
Diantha bowed politely.
Noticing the arc of the neckline when the other party bowed, Rika showed a disdainful Nike smile.
There is absolutely no need to worry about this. (Diantha's figure is really regrettable, especially in the XY manga, the undulation is basically 0. She and Pachira have several fighting scenes, and when the two same models compare their figures, it's like Hinata and Sakura standing together)
"Hey~ young people are already chatting? Is it convenient for this old man to add... ouch!"
Adeku, who walked in, almost got knocked away by the people behind him before he could finish speaking.
"Doctor, are you okay!? I brought the best medical team from Galar to see you!"
Rose, who almost knocked Adeku away, completely lost his usual elegant demeanor in front of outsiders.
Cynthia, Wallace, and others were directly stunned when they saw the Nurse Joy team that almost filled the restaurant.
"I heard that Chairman Rose of Galar is very good at licking, but I didn't expect him to be so good at licking..."
Mikuri complained in a low voice.
"I'm fine, but Chairman Rose has worked hard to come from afar."
Su Sheng waved his hand and smiled.
After a while, another familiar voice came from outside the door:
"Brother Su Sheng, are you okay?"
……
……
At this moment.
The discussion about yesterday's battle has swept across the entire network like a storm.
However, Kanto, Sinnoh, Galar, these large alliance regions, that is, Kitakami, Blueberry Academy on the sea, these places are discussing this battle.
And Su Sheng and Joker are undoubtedly the protagonists of this public opinion.
Kanto "Goldenrod TV": "Dr. Su Sheng has fought twice to save the world from fire and water. We pay him our highest respect. Dr. Oak, who was sheltering in the Celadon City Pokémon Center at the time, said in an interview afterwards that Dr. Su Sheng is the common idol of all small trainers in their Pallet Town, and Dr. Oak's grandson, Gary Oak, said in an interview that when the Indigo League rebuilds the Indigo Plateau, a statue of Dr. Su Sheng should be built at the entrance to show his greatness."
Kalos "Lumiose TV": "Karin, Dr. Su Sheng's friend, had a cautious expression when Dr. Su Sheng was talking with Cynthia of Sinnoh, but smiled when facing our Kalos' Diantha. This is enough to show that Diantha is more approachable than Cynthia."
Unova "Castelia Daily": "Mr. Udo, the highest manager of Bollywood, the first film company in Unova, said in an interview this morning that he has prepared a superhero movie based on Dr. Su Sheng, hoping that Dr. Su Sheng can come to Bollywood to participate in the performance and play himself. If the doctor is willing, he will persuade multiple Unova gym leaders such as Elesa, Drayden, Skyla to participate in the performance together."
Dr. Kukui said in an interview with Alola "Manaloa Daily": "From the first time I saw Asheng, I knew that he would become a big man. Perhaps for him, the stage of Alola is a bit small, but I want to say that he will always be the benefactor of Alola."
Galar "Spikemuth TV" reported: "Last night, Chairman Rose convened the Galar Regional Government Conference overnight and amended the constitution to agree to polygamy."
……
……
Lunch time.
After learning that Rose had come to Kanto, Damaracchi quickly pushed away all the work at hand and rushed back to the hotel.
"Brother Su Sheng, shall we go back to Alola together?"
Lillie asked Su Sheng with a small face full of expectation.
Under Lusamine's signal, Lillie bit the bullet and held Su Sheng's hand.
In fact, Lillie would usually do this kind of slightly intimate behavior in private.
But in front of so many people, she was still very embarrassed.
But she couldn't resist her mother's eyes.
"Emmm... I'm sorry, Lillie, I have to go to Galar first."
Su Sheng rubbed Lillie's little head.
First, he had to send Zacian back to Slumbering Weald.
And he had to find a way to suppress the fire of that bitch.
As soon as Su Sheng said this, Rose immediately showed Yagami Light's "No, I can't laugh, I have to endure it, but the annoying guys are all gone" smile.
And Damaracchi and Lusamine were alarmed in their hearts.
For a time, the atmosphere of this meal became strange.
"Asheng, will you... stay in Galar in the future?"
Lusamine said to Su Sheng in a low voice.
"Uh... probably, Bewear and Zamazenta shouldn't be separated, and it's more convenient to live there."
After all, Mr. Su doesn't want to learn from Ash and do the release set.
And it doesn't matter where you live.
Lusamine recalled the relationship between Bewear and Zamazenta that she had seen on TV before... Well, after all, Zamazenta is the guardian deity of Galar.
He cannot leave Galar for a long time.
And Bewear wants to be with her husband.
Naturally, Su Sheng, as Bewear's trainer, should also stay there.
What's more, the Shield King is basically Su Sheng's Pokémon. For both emotion and reason, Su Sheng should go to Galar.
Not to mention Rose's attitude towards Su Sheng.
That's really licking his life. Lusamine felt that Rose's attitude towards Su Sheng was really just short of kneeling down to him.
But... what about us?
Lusamine thought in despair.
Seeing the worry on Lusamine's face, Su Sheng said in a low voice:
"Sister Lusamine, don't worry, I will let Sakaki... Oh no, I will let Joker withdraw all the Team Rocket's internal agents in the Aether Foundation, so you don't have to worry about spies around you anymore."
Damn, it's really a bit uncomfortable to suddenly have a "brother" identity.
But I feel that this is not all bad for Lusamine. At least, she is busy dealing with Team Rocket, and she doesn't have the energy to be blackened like in the original game, right~
Lusamine showed a bitter smile.
Do you think they'll agree?
Yesterday, Lusamine truly witnessed the Rocket Team's terror through the television.
Having once engaged in illegal business herself, Lusamine was acutely aware of the criminal mindset, especially that of ruthless super-criminals like the Rocket Team.
If Su Sheng asks them to withdraw, they will definitely comply?
Standing in the Rocket Team's shoes, Lusamine herself felt that was impossible!
Because Lusamine knew her position in the Rocket Team's eyes very well.
She, or her family of three, were tools used by the Rocket Team to restrain Su Sheng.
They would never let her family go.
Even if Su Sheng made this request, the Rocket Team would most likely agree verbally, but in reality, they would still send spies to monitor her family day and night.
Moreover, if Su Sheng really went to Galar and didn't come back.
The Rocket Team might think Su Sheng had no feelings for her family, deem them without value, and then directly...
Thinking of this, Lusamine's expression turned even paler.
No, she must not let Su Sheng leave!
By any means!
...
...
Knock knock~
That night, a knock sounded on the door.
Su Sheng was a little surprised.
Could it be Rika?
No, her lips were swollen this morning; she shouldn't be in the mood now.
Could it be that thieving cat Mewtwo can't wait any longer? Didn't I tell it I'd give it the stuff when I get to Galar?
But Su Sheng thought about it and felt it wasn't right.
If that thieving cat wanted to come in, it would just teleport over; how could it be so polite as to knock?
But no matter what, open the door first.
"Whoa..."
As soon as he opened the door, Su Sheng didn't even see who was at the door before being tightly embraced.
To be honest, if he hadn't felt that amazing softness, Su Sheng would have kicked the person away immediately.
"Lusamine... Sis..."
Su Sheng looked at her in disbelief.
Lusamine loosened her grip slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, as she said pitifully, "Don't go, don't go... I'm so scared, I'm so afraid..."
Recalling the overwhelming power the Rocket Team displayed on TV yesterday, and thinking about how her children might be surrounded by Rocket Team spies while studying in Paldea.
Plus, Su Sheng, the protector, might leave tomorrow.
Lusamine's years of accumulated pressure finally erupted.
At this moment, she desperately needed someone to confide in, or rather, a shoulder to lean on.
After speaking, Lusamine hugged him tightly again.
Su Sheng staggered and fell to the ground.
Seeing Lusamine's beautiful face lowering and gradually enlarging in his field of vision.
Su Sheng began to worry about the future of this book.
But what's done is done... let's play cards first.
There might only be one chapter today, sorry, because the timeline of this book is also entering a new period, the author needs to prepare the outline, next is the Red and Green era, and then the Ash Ketchum era... but I haven't figured out how to write it next, so please give me some time to conceive, by the way, I haven't touched underage characters like Rika and Hutaot, all the characters who have that kind of relationship with the protagonist are adults, don't talk nonsense.
