Yao Yifei didn't refute, it's common knowledge that champion-level or higher Pokémon can't appear in small secret realms.
"So you ran all the way here for nothing?" Yao Yifei's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.
It's normal for beautiful women to be competitive with each other.
Ekaterina's expression changed slightly, then she nodded dejectedly.
Lu Li saw frustration on Ekaterina's face, but not disappointment.
Lu Li didn't know why, but attributed it to Ekaterina's good attitude.
"By the way, I heard that your Kyushu region has been expanding its army like crazy recently?" Ekaterina suddenly asked.
Yao Yifei nodded expressionlessly, "It's not surprising, after all, the whole world is doing it now."
Some powerful families and forces have already sensed that a storm is coming. A new struggle for truth is about to sweep the globe, and the five major alliances are also crumbling and may disintegrate at any time.
So, each region is preparing for the future.
"Isn't the military expansion in your Great Goose region the craziest?" Yao Yifei retorted sarcastically.
Ekaterina: "So why did you, a gym leader, come to be a protector? You should be very busy at this time, right?"
Yao Yifei's mouth twitched slightly.
What she said was true. The League was urging him to establish a flying corps in Qingmu City, and fortunately, it was only a small corps of 300 people.
A flying corps is easier to train than a trainer corps, but as a Coordinator, Yao Yifei is extremely opposed to war, so he has not followed the instructions to establish a corps.
A corps of 300 people, even if they are all elite-level, can only resist the invasion of gym-level trainers. For Yao Yifei, if he really encounters an attack from a gym-level trainer, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.
Just as Lu Li was about to interject, the ringtone of his phone rang in his pocket.
Lu Li answered the phone after seeing the caller ID.
"Aunt Fengjiao, is there something you need me for?" Lu Li asked.
"Xiao Li, the steel supply that Auntie promised you before may have problems," Jin Fengjiao said earnestly.
Hearing this, Lu Li frowned.
The steel supply is related to Onix's rapid growth. At this time, Jin Fengjiao inexplicably cut off the supply, and Lu Li felt a little unhappy.
Although the two parties did not sign a contract or agreement, the Jin family had made a verbal promise.
Forcibly suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Lu Li asked curiously, "Did something happen?"
"Alas~"
A sigh came from the phone, and Jin Fengjiao explained: "It's my family's problem. My family and your Uncle Yu want to create a steel corps of 1,000 people, so the Jin family group's steel will be given priority to the steel corps."
Lu Li frowned upon hearing this.
Qingyun City already has a flying corps, what do the Jin family and Yu family want to do? You must know that the alliance clearly stipulates that gym trainers cannot establish their own corps, and no one is allowed to establish a private Pokémon corps.
Lu Li did not question it. Since the Jin family and Yu Zhonggang dared to blatantly establish a corps, then this matter must be foolproof.
Lu Li only regretted the loss of the steel supply. Although he was a little unhappy, it was only a little. He wouldn't hate the Yu family and the Jin family because of this.
After all, when he signed the contract with the Jin family, it was just a single purchase contract, not a long-term purchase contract.
Hanging up the phone, Lu Li looked up at the two women.
Yao Yifei and Ekaterina were no longer arguing, but were eavesdropping on Lu Li's phone call.
"Isn't it strange? The Jin family and Yu Zhonggang actually dare to form a Pokémon corps privately?" Ekaterina asked, crossing her legs.
Lu Li nodded, indeed curious.
Ekaterina said: "The Asian Alliance does stipulate that private forces cannot form corps privately, but the Kyushu Alliance announced the day before yesterday that gym leaders can establish Pokémon corps, and will even support them."
Lu Li: "???"
Kyushu Alliance?
Shouldn't it be the Kyushu region of the Asian Alliance?
At this time, Yao Yifei sighed: "If there are no accidents, the Asian Alliance will soon disintegrate. The Kyushu Alliance is preparing for a new alliance."
"For your Kyushu region, this is a good thing. I sincerely hope you can succeed," Ekaterina congratulated.
There was no sarcasm or gloating in Ekaterina's tone, and even Yao Yifei seemed happy to see this happen.
"Our Great Russian region is also preparing for this matter. If the Kyushu Alliance succeeds, then we can also take the opportunity to become independent."
Hearing Ekaterina say this, Lu Li was even more confused.
He only played a few games, why did he suddenly feel like a world war was about to happen?
"Is the impact of the struggle for truth really that great?" Lu Li thought.
Yao Yifei, who didn't want Lu Li to be exposed to these things in advance, comforted: "This matter is still too far away from you. Your main task next is to participate in the competition well."
Lu Li nodded.
As the saying goes, the sky is falling and there are tall people to hold it up. These things really don't have much to do with him now.
The few people chatted for a while, and then returned to their respective rooms.
Nothing happened overnight.
When Lu Li woke up the next day and opened the curtains, he saw Wei training in the backyard and Milotic playing in the lake.
Lu Li's mouth curled up slightly as he watched this scene.
This may be the tranquility of time.
However... a storm is coming!
Lu Li looked into the distance with deep eyes.
As the five major alliances collapse, the struggle between regions will become the theme, and the world will only become more chaotic by then.
After washing up, Lu Li habitually picked up his phone and flipped through the real-time news.
[Shocking! Ho-Oh Appears in the Ancient Capital!]
Lu Li's expression changed when he saw the news headline, and he quickly clicked on the video that came with the news.
Although the picture in the video was blurry, Lu Li could still vaguely see the Pokémon that looked like a Shiny Fearow.
"It's really Ho-Oh?" Lu Li whispered in surprise.
Lu Li, holding his phone, trotted to the living room. Such explosive news must be shared.
That's Ho-Oh!
Among the legendary Pokémon, Ho-Oh may not be the strongest in combat power, but its status among the legendary Pokémon is definitely T1.
Looking at Ekaterina and Yao Yifei on the sofa, Lu Li asked, "Have you seen the news?"
"Are you talking about the news about Ho-Oh?" Yao Yifei asked with a smile.
Lu Li nodded.
The appearance of a legendary Pokémon is a big news that can shock the world.
Ekaterina, drinking coffee, said calmly, "As far as I know, Ho-Oh hasn't appeared for at least 6,000 years."
Looking at Ekaterina's calm reaction, Lu Li asked in confusion, "Aren't you surprised?"
"I was already surprised last night," Ekaterina replied with a smile.
Lu Li: "..."
"And there's even more surprising news, do you want to know?" Ekaterina asked, squinting her eyes.
Lu Li looked at her suspiciously.
"This is news from the European Alliance." Ekaterina handed her phone to Lu Li.
Lu Li also curiously took the phone.
[A New Knight King is Born, the English Prince is Blessed by the King of Bountiful Harvest!]
Lu Li: "???"
"King of Bountiful Harvest?"
Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then quickly guessed the identity of this King of Bountiful Harvest.
Legendary King - Calyrex!
Also one of the few Pokémon that can become stronger by riding other Pokémon.
"So... has this world finally become the way I imagined it?"
Lu Li looked at the news report on the phone in a daze.
Didn't they say that gods don't walk among humans?
How did these legendary Pokémon appear one after another in just one night?
"Calm down, this news may be fake," Ekaterina comforted.
"The English royal family likes to do this kind of false propaganda the most. They are probably also preparing for regional independence."
Lu Li nodded.
"But the Ho-Oh thing should be real, after all, there's a video," Ekaterina added.
Yao Yifei curiously interjected: "I'm more curious, now that Ho-Oh has appeared, does that mean the legendary Rainbow Hero has also been born?"
The Rainbow Hero is not a secret in this world. After all, it belongs to a legendary story, and the film and television dramas alone have been remade more than ten versions.
Moreover, countries are constantly remaking this series. Today, the Rainbow Hero may come from the Asian Alliance, tomorrow it may come from the European Alliance, or it may be the North American Alliance.
Anyway, the main thing is a Schrödinger's Rainbow Hero.
"Now I just hope this news is also fake, otherwise this era will really be too crazy," Ekaterina sincerely prayed.
The battles of two legendary Pokémon can collapse the entire world. The struggle for truth is coming, and now suddenly a Rainbow Hero has emerged.
Ekaterina couldn't imagine the scene if these were put together in the same era.
Lu Li was very calm about this.
If it were before he transmigrated, he might worry about the world being destroyed.
But now it's different.
It's not that his strength has become stronger, but that he knows how to survive.
When he was chatting with Ekaterina in the secret realm before, Ekaterina said.
Many of the existing long-standing families are actually survivors from the last era. As for how they survived?
When the world is about to be destroyed, just hide in the secret realm. As long as you are not too unlucky, you can return to the real world after the secret realm and real-world events are reconnected.
What if you are unlucky?
Then just wait to die in the secret realm. Those various relics in the secret realm came about in this way.
When he first learned of this news, Lu Li was indeed a little shocked.
The secret realm cannot accommodate everyone, but it can't stop him from knowing a large secret realm that hasn't been discovered by others.
If the real world is destroyed, he will hide in the secret realm to cultivate immortality. As a cultivator, Lu Li feels that his survival rate is definitely higher than others.
"Don't be so pessimistic, if it really gets to that point, I'll take you to hide in the secret realm," Ekaterina comforted.
Yao Yifei, who was obviously a little lacking in confidence, retorted: "It shouldn't be? After experiencing the baptism of three eras, our world has become more solid. The things you are worried about shouldn't happen."
Ekaterina just smiled and didn't speak.
For big families like them, it's right to make the worst plan for everything.
Although Yao Yifei also came from a big family, she was just a collateral, so she had this kind of fluke mentality.
Lu Li, who had never really seen a mythical beast, did not express his opinion. After all, he didn't even know the destructive power of a tier-3 god, let alone a tier-1 god.
Ekaterina suddenly said: "By the way, I may have to leave today. The family asked me to go to the ancient capital to investigate the authenticity of this matter. When it's time for your league finals, I'll go to the scene to cheer you on."
Lu Li nodded, then shamelessly said: "Tell me the results when you have them, I'm also very curious about this matter."
"Okay."
Ekaterina agreed with a smile.
Ekaterina left without even eating breakfast.
After Ekaterina left, Yao Yifei's mood instantly improved a lot.
"I'm going to the orchard to see the Vespiquen. If there are no accidents, Combee will arrive this afternoon," Yao Yifei said.
Lu Li said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's okay, it's just a matter of mutual need," Yao Yifei waved her hand casually.
After Yao Yifei left, Baobao teleported to Lu Li's in front of with Ralts in her arms.
"Baobao heard all of your conversation just now," Baobao said seriously.
"So what?"
Lu Li rubbed Baobao's little head angrily.
"Uh..."
Baobao crashed.
This matter doesn't seem to have any value, after all, she can't use this matter to threaten Lu Li.
Baobao emphasized with a serious face: "My point is, we should prepare in advance."
"Such as?" Lu Li looked at the serious Baobao with a smile.
Baobao said while counting her fingers: "I've watched apocalyptic anime, we should collect food and crop seeds in advance, and then collect various technologies."
She learned these things while watching TV.
Baobao looked like she couldn't wait for the apocalypse to come quickly.
"The suggestion is very good, I decided to adopt all of them," Lu Li said, then patted Baobao's little head again, and encouraged: "I'll give you a reward when I come back from the competition."
"Um!"
Baobao nodded heavily.
After dismissing Baobao, Lu Li sat on the sofa and thought.
The situation is indeed getting worse and worse. The Asian Alliance is crumbling, and the Kyushu region has even begun to prepare for independence.
There are two behemoths in the Asian Alliance, the Kyushu region and the Bharata region. In addition, there are various small regions, such as the Golden Triangle region and the Yamato region, etc.
Within the Asian Alliance, the strongest is definitely the Kyushu region, followed by the Bharata region.
In the previous alliance confrontations, it was basically the Kyushu region leading a group of laggards against the North American Alliance.
In fact, it is the same on the North American Alliance side, with the Yemellica region leading a group of teammates who are not laggards against the Asian Alliance.
If the Asia Alliance really does dissolve, then the Kyushu Alliance can indeed shake off a bunch of burdens, but it will also escalate the infighting into open conflict.
It can only be said that there are pros and cons, but the pros outweigh the cons.
What Lu Li really cares about is this competition.
Lu Li looked down at the new rules for the college entrance examination competition on his phone.
In the past, there were no rewards for the college entrance examination competition, because the rewards were usually given by the universities after the students joined.
But this time is different. Although the basic rules of the college entrance examination competition have not changed, a reward rule has been added.
The reward for the first place in the competition is a quasi-god-level精灵 egg, a精灵秘宝, and 30 million Alliance coins. The winner can choose the egg and the秘宝.
The second and third place winners will also receive a quasi-god-level精灵 egg, a精灵秘宝, and 30 million Alliance coins, but they cannot be freely chosen by the winners.
The rewards for 4th to 10th place are a choice of 御三家,精灵道具, and Alliance coins.
How exaggerated are these rewards?
There are three types of official large-scale events: the first is the college entrance examination competition, the second is the Young Trainer Competition (trainers under 35 years old can participate, once every five years), and the third is the Heavenly King Selection Competition.
And the rewards for the精灵 College Entrance Examination Trainer Competition are comparable to those of the Heavenly King Selection Competition.
This shows how outrageous the rewards are this time.
