Chapter 575 Has Li Luochen had little contact with girls?
The news about Huoyan surprised Li Luochen.
The Eastern Huang region, in the Central Plains, possesses pure earth-based resources, but its overall strength is not particularly high.
Li Luochen held his phone, his brows furrowed slightly, and asked Huoyan on the other end, "What's the situation?"
Huo Yan's voice came through the receiver, her speech a few beats faster than usual, clearly indicating that this matter also concerned her: "There was originally a trend of a secret realm descending in the Central Plains, but at first, we could only confirm that it was related to Ground-type Pokémon."
"The information has been updated, and it can now be confirmed that it is related to a legendary Pokémon. Moreover, it is highly likely to be a legendary Pokémon from the new generation."
A new generation of mythical beasts!
Li Luochen's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew all too well the weight of those words.
The Dark Lugia on his body is one of the legendary Pokémon of the new generation.
Unlike established legendary Pokémon whose power is already stable and strong, the new generation of legendary Pokémon means infinite possibilities, as well as unpredictable variables.
Their power has not yet been fully understood, and their limits have not yet been truly defined!
And now, a new generation of Ground-type Legendary Pokémon is brewing in the secret realm of the Eastern Central Plains!
"Which one is it? Do you have any clues?" Li Luochen asked in a deep voice.
Huo Yan paused, seemingly reviewing the documents in her hand: "There is no definite information yet, but the energy fluctuations around the secret realm are quite strong, and they are accompanied by the birth of sunlight."
"I've relayed the message back to Team Magma, and the current prediction is... Groudon!"
"So, I hope you can come back as soon as possible, Master."
"Groudon..."
Upon hearing the guess that it was Groudon, Li Luochen's expression changed slightly.
Groudon, the god of the earth, creator of the land.
If it's a newer generation Groudon, it means its power hasn't fully awakened, but it also means that if it gets out of control, the entire geological structure of the Central Plains region could be reshaped...
Li Luochen subconsciously touched the Dark Lugia's Poké Ball at his waist.
As a fellow legend of the new generation, he understood better than anyone what an existence of this caliber meant.
It's not a question of whether I want to go or not, it's a matter of having to go.
"I understand," Li Luochen said in a deep voice into his phone. "I'll make the arrangements here and get back as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at the slowly turning windmill outside the Grass Road Arena.
Katishia's battle hasn't even started yet, and Galar's league tournament has only just begun, but the situation in the Central Plains obviously can't wait.
I'll quickly clear the three gyms in the Galar region over the next couple of days. After Calyrex absorbs some more faith, I'll return to the Eastern Empire.
This is Li Luochen's idea.
He hung up the phone, put it back in his pocket, and turned to look at Katishia.
"Kathishia, after this gym battle, we need to speed things up. There's something going on in Donghuang, so we might need to head back early."
"Huh?" Kathia looked up, blinked, and then nodded decisively. "Okay, I'll be wherever you are."
Seeing that Katishia had no objections, Li Luochen breathed a sigh of relief.
The next steps are clear.
Hurry up and challenge the gyms, let Calyrex fight a few more significant battles, accumulate enough faith, and then set off back to the East!
......
......
Katishia's gym challenge ended faster than expected.
Although she didn't have a legendary Pokémon like Calyrex to help her, she had still been influenced by Li Luochen all along, so her battle skills were quite solid.
After several rounds of exchanges, Yalo readily handed over the badge and yet another wide-brimmed hat.
Katishia pulled her hat down over her head and stood next to Li Luochen, looking just like two local farmers from Caolu Town.
After the match ended, they didn't linger.
The two then set off from Route 5, heading east towards Watertown.
Road 5 stretches along a winding stream, with dense bushes and scattered wildflowers on both banks.
The further east you go, the denser the moisture in the air becomes, and the streams gradually widen until they eventually merge into a large river that small boats can navigate.
At the end of Route 5, the town of Waterboat came into view.
It was a small town built along the sea, with rows of houses nestled by the water, fishing boats rocking in the harbor, and the sea breeze carrying a salty, damp scent.
A lighthouse can be seen standing at the end of the cape from afar, its red and white tower standing out in the afternoon sun.
Li Luochen wasn't in a hurry to fight.
After traveling for half a day, the sea breeze actually helped to relieve a lot of my tension.
He and Katishia strolled leisurely along the docks of Waterboat Town, watching fishing boats return to port and long-winged gulls skim across the water, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.
"Master Luo Chen, Katishia, you finished so quickly?"
A familiar voice came from behind me.
The two turned around and saw Yuri standing on the beach, wearing a light blue swimsuit that made her skin look even whiter.
She walked confidently up to Li Luochen, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and asked expectantly, "How is it? Does it look good?"
It has to be said that although Yuri looks small, she is quite well-endowed.
"It suits you quite well." Li Luochen gave the same evaluation as last time without changing his expression.
"Just 'quite suitable' again?" Yuri puffed out her cheeks.
"...It's very beautiful."
Li Luochen added helplessly, thinking to himself that this girl's obsession with evaluation was as strong as ever.
Yuri, without any hesitation, directly linked her arm with Li Luochen's, the soft touch coming through the swimsuit fabric: "It's not easy to wear a swimsuit, Master Luochen, how about we take a picture together?"
"Let's take a picture." Li Luochen didn't hesitate and adjusted his expression for the camera.
Yuri raised her phone and switched to selfie mode, framing the two of them.
She tilted her head and made a peace sign, her smile as bright as the sunshine on the beach; Li Luochen, on the other hand, maintained his usual calm expression, only the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The shutter clicked, and the image was captured.
"Yay! I got to take a picture with Pavilion Master Luo Chen!"
Yuri looked at the photos on her phone, her eyes curving into crescents, and couldn't help but snuggle up to Li Luochen again.
The scent, a mixture of sunscreen and sea salt, was so close that Li Luochen's ears turned slightly red, and he unconsciously took half a step back.
Yuri noticed Li Luochen's awkwardness, blinked, and laughed: "Does Master Luochen not interact with girls much?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Katishia's shoulders twitched violently, and she almost lost her composure.
Don't make your brother Chen laugh!
"The main reason is that I rarely have such close contact with strange girls."
Li Luochen coughed lightly, and spoke the truth.
He had never really experienced someone like Yuri so openly linking arms with him and rubbing against him.
"So, in your heart, I'm still a stranger, huh?"
