Chapter 13 Invitation to Battle
Chapter 13 Invitation to Battle
However, since the mission had already been assigned and the items had been obtained, Guihai had no choice but to accept the mission.
Moreover, Guihai also wanted to have a match with the League's top player to see just how big the gap was between them.
Having trained alone for many years, Kikai had little understanding of the strength of other trainers.
While he's at the League Center, I can see where I really stand in this world.
Calming himself down, Guihai took out the metal film, longsword maintenance kit, and whetstone he had just exchanged from his shadow.
The shadow of the Ghost Sea is somewhat similar to Gengar's four-dimensional pocket.
It can store a lot of things.
It can also be used as a habitat for Ghost-type Pokémon, and they seem to like it and are quite comfortable inside.
And judging from the system's description, his own shadow seemed quite extraordinary.
However, Guihai has not yet developed any other uses for it; he only uses it as a personal space.
After throwing the oil and whetstone from the longsword training set back into the shadows, and replacing them with the metal film and the unique whetstone for the monopod scabbard, Oni-kai gently maintained the monopod scabbard.
At first, the sword sheath was a little unaccustomed to Guihai's touch and would move around randomly from time to time.
However, with Guihai's continued care, the ruby eyes on the monopod scabbard gradually became unfocused, and it was so comfortable that it didn't want to move anymore.
Guihai himself was a master swordsman.
Before he turned twelve, Granny Gu wouldn't let him train Pokémon, fearing he would get injured during training.
At that time, he specifically practiced this skill in order to find something to do.
After he turned twelve, Granny Gu stopped restricting his Pokémon training.
He has never neglected this aspect of training.
Moreover, he is very skilled at maintaining longswords.
Grinding, polishing, coating...
In no time, Guihai finished maintaining the scabbard of the single sword.
Gently patting the black and white ribbon on the monocle's scabbard, Guihai inserted the longsword into the scabbard.
The single sword sheath floated up as if it had just woken up from a dream, drowsily rubbing its eyes with its ribbons.
Then it paused for a moment before realizing what it had just experienced.
Thinking of the comfortable feeling just now, the single sword sheath flew up around the sea of ghosts, like a little child.
Guihai put away the longsword maintenance kit and gently flicked the hilt of the single-edged sword sheath.
"Alright, quietly absorb the energy from the metal membrane. Now is the best time to absorb it."
The ruby eyes on the single sword sheath blinked and obediently landed beside Gui Hai.
While watching Gengar and the others clean the entire lounge, they absorbed the metallic coating applied to the sword.
"Click".
Just then, Long Cang pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing Gengar, Rotom, and Easily cleaning the lounge, he paused for a moment.
Then he said, "Xiao Hai, you can leave these to Steward Ai. You don't need to worry about them."
Guihai opened his mouth, a little embarrassed, and said that Gengar had lured Esper away to ruin the lounge environment.
All I could say was, "It's alright, Gengar and the others are also very good at this, let them do it."
Long Cang glanced at the diligent chubby boy and the little Iron Man cleaning, and could only nod.
Then, as if remembering something, he said to Guihai, "Xiaohai, there's something I need to tell you."
"What?" Gui Hai asked, somewhat puzzled.
Long Cang's expression was somewhat serious: "The champion wants to see you."
Gui Hai also became serious: "The champion wants to see me? Now? Does he want to investigate my illegal training?"
Upon hearing this, Long Cang shook his head and smiled:
"No, although the league stipulates that you can only become a trainer if you are 17 years old or older."
However, we will not interfere with minors living with Pokémon.
As long as you don't use an illegal ball to capture the Pokémon, it's fine.
The champion wants to see you to present you with a medal and perhaps some other rewards.
Gui Hai's expression relaxed slightly: "Then when should we see him? Now?"
"No rush, the champion still has things to take care of. Let's go collect your reward for capturing Bagu first."
With that, he led Gui Hai outside.
Gengar and Rotom, who were cleaning, saw Ghost Sea leave and immediately dropped what they were doing to follow him.
Mimikyu and the single-edged sword had long since disappeared into the shadows of the Oni Sea.
In an instant, only the little elf Assassin remained in the lounge, staring at the room that hadn't been cleaned yet.
Tears welled up in her large eyes.
"Meow. (Waaah, I'll never eat anything given to me by strangers again.)"
Just then, Gengar's big face suddenly reappeared in front of Abbot, holding a box of Energy Cubes made by Ghostsea.
“Kou Jie”.
"Huh? (For me?)"
“Gengar.” Gengar nodded and pointed to the room that hadn’t been cleaned yet.
Then he grinned widely, leaving the energy cube behind, and ran away.
After a slight hesitation, Aiguanshi picked up the box of energy cubes.
"Meh. (Fine, I forgive you.)"
......
Long Cang led Gui Hai to the Alliance's office building—the Giant Mountain Tower, a place over thirty stories high.
Find a manager to oversee the alliance's resources.
"Alin, give me a list of the contents of storage room number three, and also collect the reward for the Bagu wanted poster."
Ah Lin is a very young-looking person, like a newcomer who has just joined the company.
However, being able to work at the alliance headquarters means one's abilities are certainly not weak.
He agreed and quickly handed two sheets of white paper to Long Cang.
"Dragon King, this is the list for Storage Room Number Three. I need to go to the finance department to check on the bonuses."
Long Cang waved his hand and handed the list in his hand to Gui Hai.
"You can choose these first; you'll receive Bagu's bonus later."
Guihai glanced at the list; most of the items were items or resources that Ghost-type characters could use.
For example, Ghost Gem or Ghost-type TM.
I'm not interested in exchanging these ghost sea creatures through my own system.
So he asked, "Dragon King, does Bagu still have any bounties? Approximately how much?"
Gui Hai had never traveled far from home and had no need to spend money, so he didn't have much money on him.
Now that I've heard there are bounties in Bagu, I'm getting a little interested.
Long Cang thought for a moment: "Not too much, maybe one or two million."
After all, we don't encourage ordinary trainers to capture dangerous criminals like Bagu; the price tag is just to warn people of the suspect's strength.
Guihai was somewhat disappointed to hear that a heavenly king like Bagu was only worth one or two million.
He spends over 200,000 yuan to buy a high-quality metal film from the league.
A Champion-level trainer is only worth about ten metal shields, which is really too little.
However, after hearing what Guihai said next, he understood.
One or two million is already a lot for the average trainer.
Criminals at this price are naturally very powerful.
However, it won't make them lose their minds and provoke a Champion-level trainer.
Long Cang then pointed to the list in Gui Hai's hand:
"Of course, if someone can capture Bagu, the alliance will not neglect him. You can choose five items from here."
In addition, the champion will award you medals, and you might even receive some guidance from him.
These things can't be bought with money.
Gui Hai nodded, but he didn't really need these things.
Granny Gu is the same; they have that mysterious door beneath the Other Shore Tower.
This makes them less in need of other resources.
As for the champion's guidance, Guihai has the system and doesn't need it at all.
Grandma Gu has a wealth of experience, and in some ways she understands things even better than the champion.
Their combat power may not be as strong as the champion's, and they don't need the champion's guidance to train their Pokémon.
So Guihai glanced at the list and turned his gaze to Long Cang.
"Dragon King, can we exchange for something else? We don't really need these."
Long Cang looked into Gui Hai's eyes, paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "You want a Dragon Mesia?"
Gui Hai and Long Cang exchanged glances: "Dragon King, is it alright?"
Long Cang thought for a moment, then stepped within two meters of Gui Hai, looked him in the eyes, and said:
"I told you, if you defeat me, I'll give you a Doron Mesia."
As for the Alliance reserves, there are no Draco eggs.
Guihai looked at the Dragon King, who was so close yet remained expressionless.
I felt a powerful aura, as if I were facing a mighty Salamence.
Gui Hai's eyes flickered.
This is the second person, besides Granny Gu, to enter within two meters of me without any abnormality.
Gui Hai unconsciously took a small step forward, getting very close to Long Cang.
Looking at Long Cang's unwavering expression, he said, "Uncle Long, may I challenge you now?"
