Chapter 94
: The Super Dimensional Operation Tournament, the Firebird Cup!
"So, in order to maintain balance and restrain humanity, Pokémon call upon the gods when things get out of control, right?"
Xia Ming understood somewhat; no wonder Regirock was just driving away humans.
But why would his father's death trigger such a huge event, even awakening Regirock? Soon, Miss Skirt gave him the answer:
"Doli, doli doli".
No, if the situation gets out of control, the gods will step in. Our calls are more like reminders to them to warn humanity while curbing any bad tendencies.
"So, my father's death was just a trigger?"
"Doli dooli!"
That's not wrong. Nowadays, besides the gods, the only ones who can restrain humanity are yourselves. Your father's unexpected death was a harbinger of the "conflict." In order to contain this "conflict" and avenge your father, Gallade wanted to awaken the Rock Pillar!
"Doli, doli doli".
Besides, this land itself silently bears destruction and malice, regardless of Pokémon or humans. It remembers everything and reports it back to the gods. Otherwise, if it were just a "dispute", the Rock Pillar God wouldn't have made such a big fuss. This was a matter decided by the "lords" of the entire mountain range. Gallade was just the initiator.
After hearing Miss Qun'er's explanation, Xia Ming suddenly understood.
The phrase "humans restraining humans" actually refers to enabling the United Alliance to control those restless evil organizations and prevent them from escalating the situation to an uncontrollable level.
But this time the league failed in its duty.
Even a powerful figure like Xia Ming's father died in this accident, which gives us a glimpse into the immense power of the evil organization.
Many of the Pokémon's anger at the tea party stemmed from this point; they reacted quickly, as if they instinctively knew what it meant!
Perhaps it wasn't that the League didn't negotiate with Gallade, but rather that the negotiations were sabotaged! This sabotage exacerbated the rise in the "Dispute" level.
After realizing this, Gallade proactively rejected the peace talks that the League wanted to salvage and immediately joined forces with the Pokémon of the mountains to launch this great purge, forcing and shrinking the living space of humans to urge the League to respond.
That is indeed the case.
Three days later quickly passed.
After that day, Xia Ming would check the movements of Regirock and the Pokémon online every day, in addition to his regular tasks.
In just four days, Regirock restored several rings of land outside Falling Star Valley to their natural state with almost no effort, and several large cities fell.
But He was very restrained and did not touch the central city of the Fuki region that should have been on His route. He only leveled those unimportant cities that were near the mountains.
After doing all this, He took the initiative to embark on the return journey. Although nearly half of the Pokémon that had been with Him were gone, most of them followed Him back to the mountains.
However, a small hiccup occurred in the middle.
That is, after returning to Stardew Valley, Regirock took a special look in the direction of Xia Ming from a short distance away, but soon resumed his journey back.
No one noticed this glance except for Yogs, who had been observing from the shadows, including Xia Ming, who was still busy in the field.
When Regirock returned to the valley, He transformed back into three mountains and slumbered in the mountains, as if He had never existed.
………………
"Recently, the alliance has intensified its crackdown on criminal gangs, and many international police forces have begun to be frequently deployed."
"A large number of criminals from the terrorist organizations Real Team and Ideal Team have been apprehended, and their criminal hideouts have been raided by a joint operation of dojo masters from various regions."
"The new city development plan for the Fukiyo area is slowly underway. Please trust the Alliance, all former citizens, your home will once again return to your embrace."
It was obvious to the naked eye that the league began to exert its efforts after Reggie Rourke left. Almost every day, news reports could be seen about the raids on the Real Team and Ideal Team's hideouts, with the leaders either escaping, dying, or being captured.
The core members of both organizations also seemed to have vanished without a trace.
The alliance responded quickly, realizing that if these evil organizations were not punished, similar incidents might occur in other regions as well.
It's important to know that there is more than one deity responsible for maintaining the ecosystem in each region!
But none of this concerns Xia Ming.
Since he learned about the situation from Miss Qun'er last time, his worry has lessened considerably. Besides, it's better to focus all his energy on farming and cultivation than to worry about this.
As long as you have enough power in your hands, you'll have some confidence even if the sky falls down, right?
Compared to these news items that demonstrate the alliance's growing strength, another piece of news caught Xia Ming's attention even more:
[“Super Dimension Devon Corporation’s Unified League branch has issued a statement confirming the date for the next Triple Bird Cup. The first qualifying tournament, the Moltres Cup, will be held this winter!”]
It is already August.
When Xia Ming, who had just finished a long day, turned on his phone, he saw that the official date for the event he had been following for a long time had been set.
It will be the summer of the year after next!
During this period, the Three Legendary Birds Cup, consisting of three rounds of qualifying tournaments, will be held in sequence. The first tournament will be the Moltres Cup in November, followed by the Articuno Cup next summer and the Zapdos Cup next winter.
"Are you planning to participate in the competition?"
Sophia, sitting next to Xia Ming, glanced at him and guessed what he was thinking. She held the water glass to his lips as she said:
"In winter, Abigail and I will go to watch your match and cheer you on!"
"Hmm, I want to participate in next year's Hinoki Tournament. If I don't plan to get eight gym badges, winning the Moltres Cup would be a good option."
Nodding, Xia Ming not only wanted to take his Pokémon to challenge the Legendary Birds Cup, which is held only once every three years, but also wanted to take his Pokémon to challenge the Legendary Birds Cup.
November is a good date, as it means he has enough time to develop a rapport with the young Gilas that has evolved into Shagilas.
"Naru~?"
What is the Moltres Cup, the Higaki Tournament?
Ralts poked its head out from Xia Ming's shoulder, wrapped its arms around his neck, and tilted its head.
"It's a Pokémon battle tournament, Xia Qing! You can cheer for Larvitar and the others, and for me, and watch us win the championship trophy and put it in the display case at our new house."
Xia Ming pulled Ralts into his arms and stroked her head while explaining to her.
Nestled in Xia Ming's arms, Ralts happily cooperated with his caresses, then made a cheering gesture with both hands:
"Nah, nah!"
Young Gilas and his brothers are amazing, and his older brother is amazing too!
