Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

After several stops, Luwu finally arrived at the port on the east coast before nightfall. Although the armored bird is powerful, it is not good at long-distance flight, and Luwu has not specially trained it in this aspect before.

Looking at the endless wasteland behind him, Luwu couldn't help but sigh: "I feel that a railway can be built on the Great Plains to connect the East Coast and the West Coast. This will not only facilitate people's travel, but also promote exchanges and economic development between the two places."

The Little Orange Island has a vast area. If there is a convenient transportation route, it will greatly improve the quality of life of the residents on the island and facilitate the rapid passage of trainers traveling in the local area.

The prosperity of the East Coast Port is no less than that of Big City. There are tall buildings here, and the ships coming in and out of the docks are densely packed, a busy scene. Before the rise of Golden Orange Island, the East Coast and Big City were the two most dazzling pearls on the Orange Islands.

Unlike Big City, which focuses on urban construction, the trainer trend in the East Coast Bay area is more intense. Battle fields of all sizes can be seen everywhere in the city, as if the whole city is immersed in the atmosphere of fierce competition among trainers. Here, after years of construction, the Pokémon battle project is very popular locally. This strong competitive atmosphere cannot be felt in other parts of the Orange Islands.

"The trainer in front? Do you want a ticket? Tickets for the exhibition match of Kanto Ice King Kona. Do you want one?"

Lu Wu was in a hurry to check in at the Pokémon Center, and immediately a man in a windbreaker called him from behind.

"Ice King? Exhibition match?" Lu Wu looked at the man in the windbreaker in confusion.

"Oh, yes! Do you want a ticket?" The man approached mysteriously and showed the ticket hidden in his windbreaker.

It turned out to be a scalper!

"How much?"

"8000!"

"Ah? Is the paper or the ink of your ticket made of gold?"

"Where can I get the ticket now? I got it through connections. If you think it's expensive, I think it's too expensive!"

"No, buddy, the date on your ticket is yesterday."

The man in the windbreaker saw that Luwu was not fooled, so he hurried away to prevent himself from being beaten.

However, the man in the windbreaker's episode also reminded Luwu that Kanto's Ice King Kona lived on the east coast of Little Orange Island all year round, and there was a villa here given to her by a local.

Kona's hometown is the fourth island of the Seven Islands. She is good at using ice-attribute Pokémon and has strong strength. She enjoys a high reputation in the Kanto area.

However, because a hard-working king Du came to Kanto recently, he not only handled most of the work of the Four Heavenly Kings, but also served as the chief investigator at the alliance headquarters. In this way, Kona and Shiba's workload was greatly reduced, and they finally had time to rest. Xiba chose to find various remote mountainous areas for training, while Kona decided to go to Little Orange Island for vacation.

A few years ago, when Kona was still a gym leader-level trainer, the mayor of the East Coast Bay area invited her to Little Orange Island and gave her a villa and a high salary, hoping that she could hold lectures for local young trainers and share her experience in cultivating water-type Pokémon. After two years of cooperation, Kona gradually fell in love with the climate and battle atmosphere of Little Orange Island, and it became a good place for her to relax.

As long as there is no mandatory task in the Kanto League, Kona is either on vacation in her hometown on the fourth island, or giving lectures and exhibition games here.

Of course, the mayor here does give a lot, which is higher than the salary of the Kanto League.

Pokémon Center.

The first thing Luwu saw when he entered here was Kona's poster on the big screen on the wall, as well as a replay of Kona's exhibition game.

Kona is good at ice, especially the combination of water and ice attributes. In the animation, she once commented on her fighting style, usually flowing water, and tough ice in battle.

For such a master trainer who enjoys a high reputation outside, the young people in the Pokémon Center are obviously very interested in watching the exhibition match.

Especially Kona is not very old, and he has outstanding looks and excellent temperament.

"Mr. Luwu!" A little fat man suddenly appeared in the restaurant in the lounge area with a simple smile on his face.

"Huh? Manu? Aren't you going to Yangbella City to play a game? Why are you here?"

Luwu was very surprised to see Manu here. It took him about three days to go back and forth to the Yuzu Gym and cross the Great Plains, but Manu did not have a flying Pokémon, and he needed to take a route close to a right angle to reach Yangbella City and return to the east coast, which made Luwu puzzled about his appearance.

"I encountered a thunderstorm on the Great Plains, and then I lost my way on the Great Plains, and ended up running here." Manu scratched his head a little embarrassedly., explaining why he was here.

Because his strength was not as good as Lu Wu, he could only passively avoid the might of nature. When the thunderstorm came, he hurriedly looked for a hiding place on the plains, but got lost.

"Then you won't go to the competition?"

"I can't catch up, but I found that there are more small competitions here, not only some prize competitions held by shops, but also ring competitions held by trainers." Manu can accept the current situation. It doesn't matter where you go to compete.

Lu Wu also became interested.

"You said someone is holding a ring competition here? How strong is it?"

"I don't know, I just heard about it."

Lu Wu's mouth corners raised. He likes this kind of ring competition challenge held by individuals the most. It's great for the team's Scorpio and Nidorino to conduct actual combat training.

Trainers who dare to open their own rings must have some real skills.

"Come on, lead the way, let's go and take a look."

There are many battle parks in the city, which provide open-air battle venues for trainers.

"Wow⊙∀⊙! This trainer named Luwu is so powerful, he defeated Sean easily."

"His Nidorino skill release speed is so fast, it feels more than one level stronger than other people's training."

Luwu defeated Sean, who was just boasting about his thirteen-game winning streak, cleanly and neatly.

Especially, he is not the kind of high-level Deus Ex Machina who beats low-level ones, and Nidorino quasi-high-level one beats Sean's high-level early Infernape.

An hour later.

"Ah? Are there any other experts? This guy has won 24 consecutive games, but he can't even beat him in a round-robin match. Does he know how to play?"

"It feels like an elite trainer is here to make trouble."

"The Pokémon he uses are not at the same level as you. Is he making excuses when he can't beat him?"

"Looks a bit... familiar."

Manu was not surprised by Luwu's record, but he also felt it was outrageous.

"So that supplement is so effective. If you take it between battles, you can quickly restore your physical strength?" Manu watched Ninolino take about one-tenth of the supplement after each battle and he would immediately be full of energy.

Luwu turned his head.

"This is another kind. The advantage is that it can effectively restore physical strength. The one I gave you is for use during training. Look, the bottle looks different. Don't make a mistake."

Manu nodded.

On the high platform in the distance, the red-haired queen leaned on the railing, just watching the battle in the battle park below.
