Chapter 58 Steel-Armored Raven and the Great Blacksmith Arrive at Crimson Lotus Island
"Hmm~ Now that you hear what I'm saying, I really want to catch a Corviknight right now. My team is missing a Flying-type Pokémon." Sweetie looked incredibly cute with her eager expression.
"Corviknight is unique in our Galar region. They are invincible in the sky. Not only can they carry people in flight, but they are also unmatched by other Flying-type Pokémon in battle..." Seeing Sweetie's expression, Sonia began to explain seriously.
It seems that she becomes more active when she's in an area she excels at.
Ali listened intently, wishing he could travel to the Galar region right now and catch some of the Pokémon there.
However, as impulsive as it may be, actually going is not such a simple matter.
When it comes to traveling, the amount of money required, depending on the distance and time, can be quite substantial.
Even if his family has some money, most people his age, unless they have any talent or clear goals, will gradually step down from being a trainer and stop catching new Pokémon to train.
A strong-willed girl like Xiaotian must have real goals, which is why she keeps preparing for her next trip.
Xiaotian is saving money to prepare for her next trip.
By relying on herself instead of her family, her family won't stop her; on the contrary, they will support Xiaotian because of her independence.
Watching Xiaotian and Sonia chatting happily, Xia Mu listened to Sonia's description of the Steel Crow.
Indeed, that's a bit of an overstatement.
Although Corviknight's base stats are indeed quite high, reaching 495, its fighting style is simplistic, making it a pure tank and not particularly outstanding in terms of strength.
The reason why Natsuki has such a deep memory of Corviknight is entirely because it is the exclusive flying mount of the eighth generation.
Another point is that Corviknight and the Greatsmith from Generation IX Crimson have a story together.
The great blacksmiths of the Padia region will attack the Armored Raven by throwing stones with their hammers.
This also led to the extinction of Corviknight, a Pokémon, in the Padina region.
Judging from Sonia's situation, she definitely doesn't know that Corviknight has a natural enemy Pokémon like Maxthon.
Of course, Xia Mu knew this, but she wouldn't say it.
Perhaps he will go out of his way to specifically tame a Corviknight in the future, but not now.
……
Time passed by in conversation.
It was soon past four o'clock, and our destination, Red Lotus Island, was already in sight.
To avoid causing too much trouble, Xia Mu, Ali, Xiao Tian, Xiao Jian and his two assistants, as well as Mu Lan and Nei Mu, all put their Pokémon back into their Poké Balls.
Dr. Mulan was accompanied by the Galarian family dog, Electric Hound, and a female servant.
Dr. Neimu was carrying a Casey.
As for Xiao Jian's, they are naturally the very familiar Mao Qiu and Marilu.
The Pokémon that Professor Ulmus's assistants also have are all common Pokémon: Butterfree, Nidoran, and Nidoran.
There's also Sonia's electric dog. I don't know if she only has this one, or if she only brought her electric dog with her this time.
It is certain that this electric dog is the offspring of Dr. Mulan's electric-chasing dog.
Upon arriving at Crimson Lotus Island, the group thanked and bid farewell to the old captain Nott, and of course, Natsuki exchanged a few polite words with Nott.
What Nott said was basically that the ship would stay here indefinitely, and Xia Mu could go out to sea whenever she needed to.
This made Ali and Xiaotian envious; it's so good to be rich.
This included Xiao Jian, as well as Uchimu's two beautiful assistants.
Dr. Mulan and Dr. Nemu, on the other hand, remained calm and did not easily show much surprise.
After all, they all knew the Xia family's influence in this sea area of the Kanto region. A luxury cruise ship was nothing special.
Sonia's performance was also quite good; that's probably the refinement that comes with a good family background.
As soon as Xia Mu left the port, she received a phone call from her father.
Just as he expected, his father would definitely make some arrangements for him after arriving at Red Lotus Island.
The first thing to do is to get on the shuttle bus and head to the Crimson Lotus Dojo.
Chapman had already learned of his trip and planned to take a good look at his grandson.
Although he wasn't a direct descendant, in the eyes of these older generations, as long as Xia Mu was of the Xia family bloodline, he was their grandson.
Because it concerned the Xia family's affairs, Xia Mu also briefly said goodbye to Ali and Xiaotian.
Of course, there's also Uchigi and Ken.
Based on their previous conversation, they would spend a day on Red Lotus Island and then set off for the Orange Islands the next day.
I guess he was going to say goodbye to some old friends, so he just happened to hitch a ride.
Xia Mu didn't ask any further questions; he didn't need to know.
To Xia Mu's surprise, he hadn't asked Dr. Mulan why she came to Crimson Lotus Island, only to find out that she was also there to see Uncle Xia.
……
Inside the extended sedan.
Xia Mu remained silent, only watching Dr. Mulan and letting his mind wander.
In the oppressive atmosphere, Sonia also quieted down, and even the Rotom Dex remained silent.
"You're surprised, aren't you? I have a pretty good relationship with your grandfathers."
Suddenly, Dr. Mulan spoke.
The moment she spoke, the heavy atmosphere dissipated.
Xia Mu wouldn't know about the older generation's affairs, so he just nodded casually and said, "I didn't like Pokémon before, and I don't know much about my family. I've only met Grandpa Xia a few times, so please forgive me for not understanding many things."
Using a junior's tone when speaking is an unconscious thought.
After all, she is indeed an elder, and Dr. Mulan is one of the top-ranking members of the League in the Galar region.
"I know a bit about your situation. Your parents have been very thoughtful. They even specially asked me, this old man, to bring my precious granddaughter to the Kanto region, saying it's to let the younger generation get to know each other. I think they're just creating an opportunity for you." Mulan's words were loaded with meaning, and in this enclosed and cramped space, there was a strange atmosphere.
Xia Mu was slightly taken aback, and even Sonia, who had been silent, couldn't help but murmur.
"Huh? ∑(っ°Д°;)っGrandma, you must be joking, right? I'm coming to the Kanto region too," Sonia said.
Mulan glanced at Sonia and smiled, "You wanted to come. You've already jumped into the trap yourself, so Grandma doesn't need to ask you anymore, right?"
Upon hearing this, Sonia glanced at Xia Mu sitting opposite her, her cheeks flushed, and she put her hands on her hips, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xia Mu's forehead was sweating; at this moment, speaking was inappropriate, and remaining silent was also inappropriate.
It seems that his father is planning something, but hasn't told him anything yet.
My mom definitely knew something, but she didn't tell him anything.
They even schemed against his precious son.
[So, this is a direct arrangement. If they hit it off, it can improve the relationship between the two families. If they don't hit it off, it can still improve their relationship with each other...] Xia Mu thought to himself.
