Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 631: Mori Mansion and Carlos Alliance Conference
“Mama…!”

Hearing this, Frost Fairy in the corner couldn't help but shiver in fear.

How scary! What's wrong with that man? Why did he suddenly start killing people? He even picked a rainy day... Isn't that now?

But Naoki seemed not to notice this at all and continued telling his story.

"But the scene was seen by the girl. When the young man wasn't paying attention, she swapped the poisonous food with the non-poisonous food and placed the poisonous food in the place where she and the young man were."

"Afterwards, except for the girl, everyone else including the young man ate the food. But after a long time, the young man found that the other three seemed to be fine, but he suddenly had symptoms such as headache and vomiting."

"At this moment, the young man suddenly realized that he was poisoned! He hurried to the kitchen to use the antidote."

"Failed," the young man whispered. At this time, the old man came in and asked him what happened.

"It was a dark rainy night outside the window. A terrible downpour was falling. The sound of the rain covered the voices of the two people talking. The young man knew that this was a place where the child could not see him."

"So he picked up a kitchen knife and rushed at the old man. When the young man returned to the children, his body was covered in blood."

"After seeing that scene, the twin boys immediately realized that their grandfather had been killed by this man. The poor boy stood there in fear."

"The man looked at the twins with a ferocious expression. His eyes wandered between the siblings. Because they looked too similar, he couldn't tell which one was the boy or the girl, so he decided to kill them all."

"In order to protect her brother, the girl went to the young man and challenged him so that the boy could escape. At this time, the frightened brother finally reacted and hurriedly ran out of the cafeteria and ran into the rainy night."

"At the same time, the girl's miserable screams were heard in the mansion. The boy didn't dare to stay and ran forward like crazy until he left the sound behind completely."

"Bamo..."

Hearing this, even the brave Babu Tubo couldn't help but look embarrassed, and Naoki's deliberate pause made it more eager to know what would happen next.

So, although he was very scared, Babu Tubo couldn't help but ask: "Bamo?"

What happened next? Did the boy escape?

Naoki smiled slightly, quietly observed the reactions of many Pokémon, and then continued

"The girl died. After killing the girl, the man knew that it was the sister who was killed, so he immediately set out to chase the brother, but it was raining heavily outside and he couldn't see anything."

"Escape? Never mind." The young man finally made this decision.

"He hid the bodies of the old man and the girl, cleaned up the scene, and disguised everything as if nothing had happened."

"As for the two Pokémon in the mansion, when they saw the girl being killed, they hid in fear. One of them hid in the TV, and the other hid in the boy's portrait. They watched the whole process of the girl being killed silently."

"Since then, the mansion has been abandoned. Only occasionally, when travelers passing by the mansion stopped to rest, they would hear the girl crying. Over time, rumors of ghosts spread there."

At the end, Naoki deliberately picked up the candle, and the flame illuminated half of his face, making him look particularly terrifying in this dark environment.

After hearing this story, the Pokémon in front of them were already trembling with fear.

With Naoki's deliberate mischief, the Pokémon were immediately frightened and screamed.

"Bu Yi!" How scary!
Partner Ibrahimovic kept squeezing on his companion.

Erguiyan even gave full play to his own associations.

It listened to the sound of heavy rain outside, looked at the pitch-dark rainy night, and a horrifying picture emerged in its mind.

A very bad human came to the ranch on this rainy night. He disguised himself as a kind human to seek help from Naoki, and then took advantage of Naoki's inattention to brutally kill him...

"Bonnie!"

Erguiyan couldn't help but screamed in fear, as if he was frightened by his own terrible imagination.

Motorlizard and Dragonite sat on the floor, also looking troubled.

Motorcycle Lizard, Dragonite: (﹏)
Even Qishu was frightened by this story. She looked at the rainy night outside the window and suddenly found that the environment was very similar to the rainy night in the story!
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding." Naoki put the candle back in place. He wanted to say that there were no ghosts in this world, but before he could say it, he immediately thought of the special nature of the Pokémon world.

The group of Pokémon finally came to their senses at this moment. Naoki told that story on purpose to scare them!
The Frosty Fairy puffed up her cheeks angrily and shouted, "Mama!"

Bad Naoki!
"No way!" Naoki defended himself: "This incident actually happened, and there is a place where you can still hear rumors about it!"

It was something that really happened... The Pokémon, who originally thought it was just a story, suddenly became even more scared.

Does this mean that there really was a girl in this world who was brutally murdered by a bad guy on a rainy night?

Naoki wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a "click" sound was heard in the room, and then the lights in the living room came on again.

The call is coming!
The darkness around them was immediately dispelled by the light. Bathed in this light, the group of Pokémon no longer felt as scared as before.

Naoki stood up, glanced at the time, and was shocked to find that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

He went over to check if the doors and windows were closed. After making sure everything was OK, he returned to the living room and said to the Pokémon:

"It looks like this rain won't stop any time soon. In that case, you should spend the night in the living room!"

The Pokémon turned their heads and looked around. They looked at everyone and nodded happily.

With so many Pokémon sleeping together, you won’t feel scared!

Naoki went to the room and found some thick furry blankets, and he and Qishu spread the blankets on the wooden floor of the living room.

"Okay, the blanket is laid out, you can sleep on it!"

There was a thick layer of blanket, and the partner Ibrahimovic ran on it and jumped and danced, looking very happy.

The other Pokémon also raised their feet and stepped on it, curiously feeling the sensation under their feet.

Dry, soft, comfortable...

They can already imagine the feeling of lying on it with everyone, listening to the sound of heavy rain outside the window and sleeping soundly.

I feel so comfortable just thinking about it!
"You're not scared now, are you?" Naoki said with a smile, "If you're scared, you can sleep with the lights on tonight!"

"Boni~!"

Eruption readily agreed. It sat on the blanket with everyone and turned to look at Naoki.

"It's getting late, everyone go to bed early, good night!"

"Buyi!"

After settling the Pokémon in the ranch, Naoki returned to his room with peace of mind. He lay on the soft and comfortable bed, listened to the rain outside, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He thought the rain would stop soon, but it didn't stop until the next morning.

Naoki had no choice but to stay quietly in the living room with the Pokémon for the whole morning, listening to the rain outside and doing their own things.

Having said that, it is already October. At this time, the gym badge collection journey in various places has come to an end, and major regions have also begun to hold this year's league competitions.

Naoki had nothing to do, so he just started watching the games.

However, he did not pay attention to the competitions in Kanto, Sinnoh, and Hoenn, but instead focused on watching the league competition in the Kalos region.

In recent years, the Internet has become more and more developed, and major leagues have adopted the method of live broadcasting to show their league competitions to the world, so as to show the style of local trainers in other regions. Therefore, Naoki easily found relevant content on the Internet.

He clicked on the live broadcast and found that the progress of the Carlos Conference had reached the semi-finals, and the final would be held this afternoon.

The players in the battle are Xiaozhi and Ailan from Pallet Town.

"Huh? What a coincidence?"

Naoki was a little surprised. From this point of view, Alan didn't seem to be affected by Vladali's accident!

Since the game would not be held until the afternoon, Naoki thought about it, clicked on the live broadcast, found the recordings of the previous games, and then watched them curiously.

I have to say that Ai Lan is very powerful. His super Charizard can kill anyone who stands in his way.

In all the competitions, Alan even used only two Pokémon, Charizard and Metagross, and he won all the way, defeating strong enemies such as Louis and became the first player to advance to the finals.

Satoshi's strength should not be underestimated either. He advanced to the top four with his six Pokémon, including Pikachu, Greninja, Sonic, Melissa, Flarewing, and Harpy, and defeated his rival Shota to advance to the finals of the tournament for the first time.

"Sure enough, after all these years, Xiaozhi still keeps the habit of starting over after changing to a new area!" Naoki couldn't help but think as he looked at those Pokémon.

That Pikachu has traveled with Ash for so long and has been through so many battles, its strength must have already reached the king level, or possibly even the champion level.

But looking at Pikachu's appearance in the battle, it seems that he did not show his full strength, as if he was cooperating with Xiaozhi to re-train.

"After so many years, Pikachu is still as good at acting as ever!" Naoki twitched his lips.

Vladari was arrested by Daigo and his team in advance. Naoki thought that Alan would be affected, but now it seems that things are still developing according to the plot.

If this is the case, will Ai Lan still win the final?
At the same time, in the rest area of ​​the Carlos Alliance venue in Miare City, Carlos Region.

While having dinner, Xiaozhi and his friends met Alan who had the same purpose.

When he saw Ai Lan, Xiaozhi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Ai Lan, please use all your strength to compete with us in this afternoon's match!" he said.

"Of course." Ai Lan nodded and said, "After all, the reason why I participated in the Kalos League Tournament was because I wanted to have a battle with you."

In fact, ever since Vladali's accident, Ailan had planned to give up participating in the Carlos League Competition.

Because he learned the truth of everything and Vladali's real mask, thinking about all the things he had done to help Vladali before, Alan felt extremely regretful and almost collapsed from it.

But at that time, it was Xiaozhi who encouraged him, encouraged him not to be dejected, and made him cheer up again.

So, in order to fulfill the promise with Xiaozhi to "have a battle", Alan finally came to participate in the Kalos League Conference.

Here he comes, to have a formal Pokémon battle with Ash.

The two men stared at each other in mid-air, each of their eyes filled with a strong desire to fight.

*
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the finals of the Carlos Conference officially began.

Even though the rain had stopped, Naoki stayed home and watched the entire match.

At the beginning of the decisive battle, Xiaozhi once had the upper hand and forced Ailan into a desperate situation.

But even so, Ai Lan still turned the situation around with his strong strength.

So much so that in the end, each side only had one Pokémon left.

Just like in the anime, Xiaozhi only had Greninja left, and Alan only had Charizard left.

The competition reached a white-hot stage. Xiaozhi's Greninja underwent a bond evolution, and Alan's Charizard also successfully evolved into Mega Charizard X.

The two sides fought round after round. Although there were attribute restraints on each other, the situation remained the same.

As time went on, the physical strength of the two Pokémon was about to be exhausted, and at this moment, Xiaozhi and Ailan decided to each use their most powerful attack to decide the winner.

Ash's version of Greninja condensed a huge golden flying water shuriken, while Alain's Mega Charizard X countered it with explosive flames.

Two completely different energies collided violently in mid-air, and eventually a stalemate occurred, causing an extremely violent explosion.

The terrifying energy instantly swept around and submerged the two Pokémon.

The smoke and dust filled the air, hiding the figures of the two Pokémon.

The audience watched this scene nervously.

Who won after all?

Even though he already knew the answer in his heart, when Naoki saw this historic moment with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Will this ending be the same as the plot he is familiar with?

But the plot in the Kalos region has undergone tremendous changes after his and Daigo's intervention. What if this causes a butterfly effect, causing the ending to change?

Naoki didn't blink.

Gradually, the smoke covering the field dissipated.

The Pokémon lying on the ground was actually Alan's Mega Charizard X!

However, because its physical strength reached its limit, Mega Charizard X returned to its normal form.

And Xiaozhi's Greninja staggered and stood on the battlefield.

It was not until it saw its opponent fall first that it could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a thud.

Naoki: "!!!"

Xiaozhi won! He won the championship!

The match was over and the commentator announced the result in a passionate voice.

As Xiaozhi and Ailan shook hands, the competition came to an end.

Seeing Naoki's shocked expression, Qishu was very confused.

She knew Naoki knew Satoshi, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter? Are you surprised that Satoshi won the championship?"

Naoki came back to his senses and quickly shook his head: "Of course not, I just... just feel a little surprised."

The flapping of the butterfly's wings changed the outcome of the Kalos region.

Maybe it was because Alan lacked some experience, which caused the Pokémon to gain less experience, so it lost to Satoshi in the Kalos Conference?

"That's normal!" Qi Shu showed great understanding: "That kid has been working hard for so long, from Kanto all the way to Kalos, and the Pokémon around him have also been working hard for this. With this kind of character and perseverance, the championship will belong to him sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Naoki was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said, "That's right."

He took this for granted, but he didn't expect Qi Shu to see it more clearly than he did.
