Chapter 77 Future Plans, Breakthrough in Relationships
into the night.
Xia Mu sat alone under the eaves leading to the courtyard, lost in thought.
During the meal, Xia Mu and Sonia spent a long time talking with Xia Bo and Dr. Mulan before they were finally free from the two elders' entanglement and nagging.
Then Sonia accompanied Dr. Mulan back to the hotel to rest, while Xia Mu chatted with Xia Bo for a while before returning to her room to wash up.
It must be said that this time, Mewtwo teamed up with Mew to make changes on a very wide scale, and indeed, they didn't leave any loopholes.
Although there may be some minor errors in the details that may give intelligent people a strange feeling, even with the help of the psychic powers of Psychic-type Pokémon, it is absolutely impossible to restore the original memories.
Xia Mu had Gardevoir handle this, and it's worth noting that Gardevoir is level 47, which is considered an elite-level player in the league.
If she can't do it, it means that even if her level is ten or even twenty levels higher, she still definitely can't do it.
At the very least, their level must be the same as Mewtwo's, and they must also possess an absolutely unique ability that can awaken real memories.
In conclusion, everything is currently under control and no unexpected events have occurred.
That concludes the whole matter.
The conclusion reached through communication with Blaine is that since the claim of being the strongest Pokémon Trainer has already been defined as false advertising and hype, then regardless of who is behind it, we should simply let things take their course.
At least for Cinnabar Island, the arrival of these thousands of trainers spurred a wave of economic development.
After all, for trainers, once they've come all this way, they can't just leave.
Moreover, now that many trainers have lost to Natsuki, the word has spread far and wide, gradually evolving into the notion that Natsuki, the acting gym leader, is the so-called strongest Pokémon trainer.
Blaine was very glad that he had sent Natsuki out as the acting gym leader.
This not only brought Xia Mu into the public eye and made her known to many people, but also helped her build her reputation through this free publicity.
As long as Xia Mu has enough strength, he has the potential to become a Heavenly King in the future!
As for winning the championship in the Kanto region!
Bob didn't expect much, nor did he have high hopes.
Take, for example, A-du, who was the most promising candidate to take this position in recent years, but he only reached the Dragon series king level.
Although many people falsely call him the Guandu Champion because he won the Chengdu regional championship last year, he is actually just acting as the champion in charge of duties and powers.
Becoming the champion of Kanto is incredibly difficult, beyond imagination.
The four elite warriors of the Kanto region are either champions or possess strength comparable to champions.
As per Xia Bo's request, Xia Mu will be stationed at the Crimson Lotus Dojo for the next few days.
Because this turmoil will not easily dissipate, and in the process, the Crimson Lotus Dojo will inevitably be bustling with visitors.
Now that things had come to this, Xia Mu had anticipated it and was prepared for it, so she wouldn't refute it.
After all, he knew the inside story.
Hopefully, when Sonia returns and is questioned privately by Mulan, she won't let anything slip.
Anyway, during his break, Xia Mu made a phone call to his mother, Mu Xiuli.
Actually, after Mom and Dad got home, they saw so many Poké Balls and contacted him on social media to ask him how he caught so many Pokémon.
It's too complicated to explain this kind of thing with just a few words and voice messages, so I simply made a phone call to explain the situation and put my mom and dad at ease.
The reason is simple: a once-in-a-century catastrophic storm struck Cinnabar Island. While on the island, he encountered a group of trapped Pokémon, and in order to protect them from the natural disaster, he captured them all.
Frankly, the reason is far-fetched, but Mewtwo's ability to modify memories is indeed powerful, and his parents trust him completely, so whatever he says goes.
Having temporarily resolved the issue of the cloned Pokémon, Natsuki chatted with her mother about her experiences on Cinnabar Island.
In fact, Xia Mu's parents, who were on Tsubaki Island, had already learned a lot of information, especially that Xia Mu had made a name for himself as a gym leader. They praised Xia Mu a lot, which made him feel embarrassed.
After they ran out of things to say, Xia Mu said he would go home in two or three days before hanging up the phone.
……
I looked up and gazed at the night sky.
After the storm, the sky was clear and cloudless, revealing countless stars that shone like dazzling jewels.
The Pokémon world, setting aside the environment, just the starry sky alone is far superior to the world of Natsuki's previous life.
In the previous world, due to various forms of pollution or other reasons, this scene could not be seen unless one was in a remote rural or mountainous area.
Xia Mu still remembers that in her childhood in her previous life, she was able to look up and see such a beautiful starry sky.
"You seem a little down." Mewtwo's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and Natsuki was slightly taken aback.
"It brought back some memories, so I was a little emotional." Natsuki got up, walked to the table, and took the Master Ball from the buckle on his belt.
Natsuki wasn't worried at all that Mewtwo would turn on him after he released it.
After defeating it completely, Mewtwo was willing to acknowledge him as its master, accept him, and follow him through all sorts of things in this world.
Although the friendship level is very low, only 90 points, it was only because Xia Mu properly placed the duplicate Pokémon that it was able to reach this level, but this is a good start.
Thinking back to Mewtwo just a few hours ago, how invincible it was, the difference is too great compared to now.
"Aren't you afraid I'll be discovered by others?" Mewtwo was a little puzzled as to why Natsume would suddenly release it.
Xia Mu's lips twitched slightly as he smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Your traces have been erased. Even if someone sees you, you don't need to feel guilty. After all, there are over a thousand kinds of Pokémon in this world, and countless Pokémon that we haven't seen before. It's not surprising that you're one more."
Xia Mu's joke made Mewtwo lower its guard as well.
However, Mewtwo was still quite surprised: "Aren't you worried that I'll take this opportunity to kill you and then run away?"
Xia Mu shook his head upon hearing this.
"You wouldn't, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are now." As Xia Mu spoke, he took out other Ultra Balls and released Lucario, Arcanine, Beedrill, Red Gyarados, Gardevoir, and Charizard.
As soon as Lucario, Arcanine, Beedrill, and Gyarados appeared, they immediately gathered around Xia Mu. Even Gardevoir also came over.
This incident clearly made Gardevoir understand even more what kind of person its owner, Natsuki, was. Although she was just observing the outside world from inside a Great Ball, she was a Psychic-type Pokémon, so she was able to observe more.
Charizard, on the other hand, was somewhat restrained by Mewtwo and dared not make any rash moves.
After all, Mewtwo was the one who created it. Even though it's now Natsuki's Pokémon, Mewtwo still puts a lot of pressure on it.
Xia Mu quickly retrieved his spatial backpack, took out his exclusive energy cubes from it, and also bought energy cubes for Mewtwo and Charizard.
For him, this was one of the few ways to foster relationships.
With Xia Mu's deliberate matchmaking, Charizard was able to integrate into the group. Although it was still quite reserved, it was extremely excited to see that it was not rejected and that its owner, Xia Mu, cared about its feelings. Its affinity with Xia Mu soared to over 100 points.
Having not had much time to examine it before, Xia Mu took this opportunity to conduct an in-depth analysis of Charizard's information panel.

……
A speed-type dragon, a special attacker, with all moves! 3 IVs.
What Xia Mu lacks right now is undoubtedly this type of person.
At first, Xia Mu thought this Charizard was a physical attacker.
After all, the skills it uses in the original animation are all physical attacks.
It's easy to imagine that Mewtwo didn't realize what kind of battle style Charizard was suited for, so it gave random commands and even complained that Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise were not strong enough and wanted to strengthen them again.
It's not that they're weak, but rather that they haven't shown their strengths.
Looking at Mewtwo again, its attribute panel came into view...

……
Xia Mu didn't express anything, but he did some calculations and plans in his mind.
What I'm thinking about is how to train these two more thoroughly.
Charizard is easy to get, and this guy is definitely worth training. Besides, his friendship level is increasing so quickly. If I don't make him stronger, I'll really be letting him down after gaining his trust so quickly.
We'll talk about Mewtwo later.
……
Time flies, and it's already the morning of the next day.
Because he needed to be in charge of the dojo, Natsuki got up early, quickly washed up and ate breakfast, then wandered around the dojo, waiting for challengers to come.
Compared to yesterday, Xia Mu has a clearer understanding of his own strength.
At this point, even without Lucario, Arcanine, Beedrill, and Gyarados, he could defeat all challengers with just Gardevoir and Charizard.
Even if one or two challengers suddenly appear with level 50 Pokémon, it's not a big deal.
Level 50 is already a very high level of strength for an ordinary elite trainer.
But for him, level 50 had become the starting level.
To Xia Mu's delight, Sonia knew that he was alone at the gym, so she once again took the initiative to come and keep him company.
The two grew closer and closer, and in a short period of time, they had already crossed the line from ordinary friends.
Even if they're not boyfriend and girlfriend, they're close enough.
Many actions, such as hugging and cuddling, were done passively while riding the Growlithe. In short, Xia Mu felt much more at ease and natural when interacting with Sonia, without any psychological burden.
In just one morning, Xia Mu accepted challenges from more than twenty challengers.
Without exception, these trainers were all brutally defeated by Natsuki.
As Chapman suggested, one or two badges should be sent out as appropriate.
But Xia Mu simply couldn't find a suitable challenger.
These twenty-odd trainers are all quite weak, and some of them even came to challenge us just a couple of days ago, only they changed their Pokémon.
Xia Mu could only hope that the next trainer would be better.
Otherwise, it would be too boring.
During the lunch break, at the suggestion of Uncle Xia and Elder Mulan, Xia Mu took Sonia to a shopping mall in Honglian City for lunch.
After all, he has been busy dealing with things since arriving at Cinnabar Island, and now he has to take charge of the gym, so he hasn't had time to take Sonia out for a walk.
The two elders clearly had ulterior motives, especially Mulan, who mentioned that she would be returning to Yuan Island the day after tomorrow to start a new job.
Sonia needs to help Mulan with some things, so she has to go back with her.
As for the upcoming trip, we'll have to wait until these research data are compared.
This was exactly what Xia Mu wanted to do. He also planned to go back to Yuujima in two days to deal with the matter of the cloned Pokémon, which he had also agreed upon with Sonia.
As for going to the Lantern Volcano on Juyuan Island to find the Flame Bird, that's planned for later.
After capturing Moltres, I set out on a journey to obtain badges for the Kanto region and participate in the Indigo League.
A month should be more than enough time.
Strolling through the streets of Crimson Lotus Town, Natsuki didn't immediately call out Arcanine. Instead, he walked shoulder to shoulder with Sonia, chatting idly.
Sonia was holding a dog in her arms. She was wearing only a green vest on her upper body and tight pants on her lower body, which made her figure look perfect.
