Criteria for Choosing a Partner

"Cadelia, stop fooling around. Give the clothes back to Carlo. If our big star gets photographed by paparazzi, Carlos will be in big news tomorrow."

"No way!" Gadriya made a face at Caluno, who was hiding in Cynthia's arms.

Due to the influence of her superpowers and her chronic sleepiness, although Cattleya is an adult and one of the Unova Elite Four, she can still pretend to be mature in front of outsiders, but in private, she still has a childlike nature.

In fact, almost all champions and superstars have a side that is not known to the public.

For example, Queen Kalos is a silly beauty in private. She is a former Unova Champion, a rock-loving woman, and the Sinnoh Champion. She is a kind-hearted woman with a cold exterior and a sweet tooth who suffers from decision paralysis.

"A loss is a loss. Unless you beat me, don't even think about getting your clothes back."

"Besides, I've already used my superpowers to investigate, and there isn't a single male creature around the villa. No one else will know what happened in this room."

In other words, even if you scream your lungs out today, no one will come to save you.

"Cynthia, only you can help me now." Karuno pointed to the game controller next to Cattleya.

Go for it, Cynthia, I choose you!

"Sorry, you can't win. There's no chance of victory. I can't help you. Good luck."

Cynthia waved her hand and threw Karuno onto the bed.

"How can you win against a superhuman who can read your moves?"

This isn't a challenge, this is suicide.

I don't need to face an opponent I can't beat at all.

"If all else fails, call Gardevoir in. With the help of telepathy, there might still be a sliver of hope."

Diantha shook her head, saying, "Gardevoir's telepathy can't be shared with its trainer, not even through Mega Evolution, unless I have the Synchronize ability, but I'm human."

"What about the human-Pokémon hybrid?" Cattleya asked curiously. "I heard about someone in Unova who has the ability to communicate with Pokémon."

"Moreover, according to legend, that person didn't need to use Poké Balls; he could command wild Pokémon to fight for him simply through his personal charisma."

"Maybe it's just a rumor." Karuno shook her head and turned to look at Cynthia.

"Grandma just called you. Was she urging you to get married again, or was she advising you to give up the Sinnoh championship?"

"I have them all." Cynthia sighed, took out her phone, connected a VPN, and logged into Donghuang's game.

One reason is that she doesn't have the extra energy to date, and another is that her status and position as a Sinnoh champion put pressure on her partner.

"Do you have a type you like?" Cattleya asked curiously. It's in a girl's nature to be interested in love.

"Forget it, I doubt you can even explain it yourself. I'll just use my superpowers to test it for you."

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but aren't two-legged men easy to find?

Cattleya closed her eyes and, using her superpowers, touched Cynthia's subconscious.

Cynthia didn't resist either; she was also curious about what type of person she liked.

"Hmm, your ideal type has four criteria: First, they must be good at Pokémon battles, preferably able to beat themselves; second, they must know about mythology and history, or have an interest in them; third, they must be good at video games; and fourth, they must cherish Pokémon..."

It seems that it is indeed difficult to find.

"Are you planning to find your other gender?" Diantha retorted. "You're quite narcissistic. How about we find a legendary Pokémon and see if there's a Cynthia of the other gender in other worlds?"

No, if there were a Cynthia of the other gender, why wouldn't I just go for it myself?

"Karuna, don't interrupt, there's more to come. You actually like people younger than yourself?" Cattleya covered her mouth, shocked.

I never expected that you, the Sinnoh champion, would be a fan of younger men?

"Good grief, you've rejected yourself too? Then you can expect to die alone," Karuno said. "Or you could just find a childhood sweetheart and raise him from scratch."

"We could also find a student. I remember you're going to the Eastern Empire soon, Cynthia? Are you going to be a university professor?" Gadriya said.

"I've heard that there are plenty of good men in the East. Why don't you find a student at the university? Train him properly, and then bring him back to Sinnoh?"

"Wow, a son-in-law from Sinnoh, but I heard that teacher-student relationships are forbidden in the Eastern Empire," Karuno said.

"It's okay, we can wait until he graduates. One radish, one hole. We'll reserve the hole first, so we won't have to worry about the radish not growing."

"Alright, that's enough about the lifelong question of the Sinnoh Champion." Cynthia clapped her hands in annoyance as her phone card draw failed again.

She didn't know why the two of them had decided to find a partner in college.

"I'm not the only single person in this room, are you?"

"I'm a celebrity, and according to my contract, I'm not allowed to date for at least five years," Karuno said.

"My request is quite simple." Gadalia felt her phone vibrate slightly in her pocket. She opened it and saw that it was a message from Wanlong.

"He should be handsome, have a good personality, be caring, be able to manage my role well, be able to tell bedtime stories, preferably different stories every day, and ideally be able to read minds so I don't have to strain my mouth to speak."

"You call this easy? You might as well find a Psychic-type Pokémon to be your boyfriend," Diantha said.

Are you looking for a partner?

You're just looking for trouble!

"Everyone has to have a wish, right? What if it comes true? Just so you know, if you really meet the right man, you're not allowed to compete with me for him."

"Whoever tries to take it from you is a noob!" Karuno said, noticing Gadriya staring at her phone. She turned and saw Cynthia also staring at her phone, and frowned slightly. "What are you two looking at?"

A pig ran into a tree? A good man ran into a pig?

What are we waiting for, Cynthia? Use Ultimate Impact to knock him back!

"It's a novel sent by Wanlong, and it's quite interesting," said Jia Deliya. "The romance part is well-written; it's probably a younger version of Chu Nan, and he's been hurt in love before."

I don't believe the author didn't have some personal experience with the sadness, loneliness, and inferiority that are evident between the lines.

"However, the premise doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Arceus and Green Sky are just rumors from the last century."

"It's hard to say," Cynthia said. "Although this premise is a bit far-fetched, you'll see later in the story, in the part about the Rayquaza legend."

"It's similar to the information I found in the ruins of the Hoenn region."

"You mean the author of this novel is an archaeologist like you? But Wanlong said it was a college student's submission." Noticing the key words, Karuno raised an eyebrow.

"College student, archaeologist, a good man is about to run into you."

"Stop messing around," Cynthia said. "And about the setting of the Sky Pillars, look at this section. Although the author describes it in great detail, he intentionally hides the part about how to break the seal."

It is common knowledge that if a man can avoid offending women in his daily life, it means that he is fully aware of all behaviors that would offend women.

In other words, the author of this novel must have done some research on the Pillars of the Sky.

"Maybe he doesn't even know how to break Rayquaza's seal?" Gadriya said.

“No,” Cynthia said firmly, “the author’s description of the Sky Pillars is so detailed, it’s as if I saw it with my own eyes. And the parts about the murals and legends are so reasonable that I feel they are not quite reasonable.”

"Why don't you explain yourself more clearly?" Karuno said, completely bewildered.

It's impossible that Rayquaza went to Donghuang to cosplay as a student and write an autobiography to earn a living.

"You know Wallace, the Hoenn Champion, right? Besides being the Hoenn Champion, he's also the guardian of the Sky Pillars. Nobody knows the internal structure of the Sky Pillars except him," Cynthia said.

"He was complaining to Steven in the group chat a while ago that Team Magma and Team Aqua in the Hoenn region had started to move, and his Milotic was about to lay an egg. He was now playing both the father and the mother role."

"Daigo went to the Eastern Empire without taking him along, and his girlfriend ran away. Now he can only hide in the Sky Pillar and cry to himself. He really wants to find someone to cosplay him so he can go out and play for a couple of days."

It's not Wallace, yet it knows everything about Sky Pillars. Combined with the novel's title, "Gods," it suggests that other legendary Pokémon will appear later.

Hirona suddenly developed a strong interest in the novel's author.

This trip to Donghuang should yield valuable results.
