At the beginning of the game, Xanadu accidentally became the champion

"Yeah! That's why I just told you that your little arrow bird can't defeat the Salo Gym like this." Korni nodded.

"Well, I know, so I'm working hard with Xiaojianque to become stronger." Xu Ran responded, not denying anything, but directly admitting it.

"Hey, come on!" Kerni clenched her fist and waved towards Xu Ran to cheer him up, but after waving, she put her fist in front of her again: "I want to work too! 100 Winning streak! For Lucario's mega evolution!"

As Korni spoke, she raised her hand. A glowing gemstone was inlaid on her glove, sparkling in the sunlight.

"The key stone..." Xu Ran looked at this extremely dazzling stone and muttered to himself. This was the first time he had observed the key stone at such a close distance.

The last time he looked at Kaluni's keystone, he just glanced at it inadvertently, and didn't dare to take a closer look. After all, it's impolite to always stare at someone's chest.

"That...can you let me see the keystone?" After a little hesitation, Xu Ran asked with some embarrassment.

"Of course." Kerni agreed directly, took off her gloves and handed them to Xu Ran.

After observing it carefully, Xu Ran touched it, and after satisfying his curiosity, he returned it to Korni.

"Do you also know about mega evolution?" Looking at Xu Ran's expression, Kerni asked curiously.

"Well, I learned something from Dr. Fatong, so I know." Xu Ran nodded and replied.

"Then do you know? It was my ancestor who made Lucario mega evolve for the first time!" Seeing that Xu Ran knew about mega evolution, Kerni suddenly became excited and said very proudly.

Seeing Kerni's pretty face flushed with excitement, she looked so cute, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile, and couldn't bear to interrupt her, so she just asked Go down: "Ancestor?"

"Yes, ancestor!" Speaking of this matter related to herself, Kerni was obviously very interested, and she couldn't wait to continue: "And, the traditional master of the Sala City Gymnasium will have someone who can perform mega evolution My partner, so, I also got this keystone from grandpa..."

As Kerni spoke, she set her sights on the keystone, recalling and talking about it...

……

"You have to remember, Korni, that to make Lucario mega evolve, you need this key stone and Lucario's mega stone." In the open-air hall, under the huge bronze statue of Lucario, the long-browed old man will The glove with the keystone embedded in it was handed over to Korni's hand, and she spoke earnestly.

"Hey——" Korni put on the gloves, then raised her hand, looked at the keystone on the back of her hand, and after a while, she raised her head and asked with a smile, "Hehe, Lucario's mega evolution stone, Just go to Shitai Town and get it, right?"

"Mega evolution is evolution beyond evolution. Needless to say, these two stones," the old man with long eyebrows did not answer Kerni's question, and continued to say earnestly: "But more important than this is the relationship with Pokémon." Trust."

As he spoke, the long-browed old man's voice suddenly became serious: "It's the bond, the bond between you and Pokémon. Korni, you must remember it."

"Yeah, yeah, bond! Bond!" Korni kept smiling on her pretty face, nodding her head repeatedly, her tone full of impatience: "I know! I know! I know! All I have to do is become stronger. Bar!"

After Korni finished speaking, without waiting for the old man to say anything, she turned around and ran outside. At the same time, she turned back and waved to the long-browed old man: "Then I'm leaving, Grandpa!"

……

Because of the long time, Xu Ran can't remember the plot clearly, but after listening to Kerni's narration again, he recalled some of it.

"This little girl didn't understand her grandfather's words at all..." Looking at Kerni's fair and pretty face, Xu Ran looked a little helpless.

Korni didn't notice Xu Ran's expression. She took her eyes away from the keys and then placed them on Lucario sitting next to her. She smiled and said, "So Lucario and I set a goal. Fight a hundred trainers before arriving at Stone Moss Town and win a hundred consecutive victories!"

"Woah!" Lucario also looked at Korni and shouted in agreement.

Chapter 49

"Kerni, do you think the bond your grandpa said is to keep fighting and become stronger?" Looking at the tacit understanding of one person and one Pokémon, after hesitating for a moment, Xu Ran still asked what he wanted to ask .

"Isn't it? During the battle, the Pokémon and the trainer will continue to become stronger, and they will also deepen their mutual understanding," Kerni blinked her smart eyes lightly, and said with a smile: " Look, isn't this a fetter?"

"Right, Lucario?" As she spoke, Kerni turned her head and asked Lucario.

"Ouch!" Lucario nodded in agreement. It and Korni had been playing together since childhood and had already developed a tacit understanding.

"..." Xu Ran was at a loss for words. He wanted to refute Kerni, but he didn't know how to answer for a while. What Kerni said seemed right and wrong, so he shook his head secretly. Xu Ran skipped the topic and asked:

"Korni, you're going to Stone Moss Town to find Lucario's mega evolution stone, right?"

"Well, yes." Corney nodded.

"Um...can I come with you?" Xu Ran touched his nose and asked for a companion.

When he met Kerni here, he had the idea of ​​traveling with him. After all, it would be a pity if he gave up such a ready-made battle training object like Kerni. Besides, in Shitai Town, he might be able to find someone else. I touched Xanadu's mega evolutionary stone. After all, judging from the description on the electronic map, this is a town that produces various stones.

One more thing... well, he thought it would be nice to travel with this energetic girl for the time being.

"Huh?" Ke Erni was taken aback.

"I want to see Lucario's mega evolution, and I have learned some knowledge about mega evolution from Dr. Fa Tong. Maybe I can help you." Xu Ran was afraid that Korni would refuse, so he found the one who could make the most of it. The reason for her acceptance, explained.

Of course, Xu Ran really felt that he could help Kerni, but not because of Dr. Fatong, but because of the plot of the animation.

"I'm not rejecting you! I'm also very happy to have a companion, but I can't go to Shimo Town right now." Kerni said with her little hand on her chin.

"Ah?" Xu Ran looked confused. Does this little girl have somewhere else to go?

"I just told you that I won't go to Shimo Town until I have a 100-game winning streak. Now it's 99, and I'm still one win away!" Looking at Xu Ran's confused expression, Kerni explained with a chuckle.

"That's right...you're still one victory away." Xu Ran suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this for a while.

"En!" Ke Erni responded, and then took out a notebook from nowhere, and said, "When I set off, I decided to fill this notebook up."

"This... Is this what you used to record your winning streak?" Xu Ran also looked at the notebook with a little curiosity, he still had some impressions of this.

"Yes!" Korni nodded, then opened the book, pointed to the footprints on it, and introduced to Xu Ran with some pride: "This is the Sith's rogue crocodile!"

Kerni said, turned to the next page, and continued to introduce: "Then, this is Kaltuo's rogue panda, and this is..."

Listening to Korni's continuous introduction, Xu Ran gradually looked surprised, not because of the records in the book, but because she was surprised that Korni could name the Pokémon and the trainer based on these footprints. What kind of super is this? Strong memory.

"Ah!" Ke Erni turned to the penultimate page of the book, suddenly startled, and shouted: "I haven't printed the footprints of the little arrow sparrow on it yet!"

After finishing speaking, Kerni took out a fruit, opened her mouth and took a bite. Then she squeezed out some juice from the remaining part and put it in her hand. She leaned towards Xu Ran and faced him. The little arrow bird on the shoulder said: "Trouble!"

"Yagu!" Little Arrow Sparrow understood, its little paws were dipped in the juice, and then it stepped on the page of the book that Kerni had prepared, and a small paw print suddenly appeared on it.

"Yeah, that's OK!" Looking at the small footprints on the book, Kerni closed it contentedly, then turned to Xu Ran and said, "Then I'll go find a trainer first." , Xu Ran, you can go to Shitai City and wait for me first."

"Let's just go to Shitai City first." Xu Ran shook his head, then smiled and said: "It's just one trainer, you won't need long, right? I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'd better stay with you."

"Hmm! That would be great!" Hearing this, Ke Erni was startled for a moment, and then smiled sweetly.

Looking at her cute appearance, Xu Ran smiled, and after putting away the equipment on the ground, the two set off towards the road, looking for a trainer.

……

When the two were walking on the road, a meow-shaped hot air balloon was slowly floating in the sky not far behind them.

"Ah... haven't you found the kid and Pikachu yet?" On the hot air balloon, Musashi sat on the ground bored and asked Kojiro beside him.

"Hey, although the little ghost head was not found, there is a surprise." Kojiro put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head and said to Musashi and Miaomiao, with an unconcealable excitement in his tone.

"what?"

"What meow?"

Miaomiao and Musashi looked at each other and asked.

"It's Little Devil No. [-], and there's a little girl with Lucario!" Kojiro said excitedly.

"Little Ghost No. [-], the one with Kirulian?" Musashi stood up, took a telescope and looked in the direction Kojiro was looking.

"That's meow?" Meow on the side was also holding a telescope, looking along the line of sight, it noticed the keystone in Kerni's hand with sharp eyes, and the cat's face was filled with an excited smile: "Musashi meow, Kojiro meow, look at that meow, that little girl's hand meow!"

"That's... the keystone?!" The two also adjusted the focus of the telescope according to what Meow Meow pointed out, and noticed the keystone in Kerni's hand, and their expressions suddenly became excited.

The three of them had witnessed Xanadu's mega evolution process before, and they were also beaten badly by Caluni's mega Xanadu, so they were very impressed with the Keystone.

"Gardevoir can mega evolve, and the Qilulian in the little devil's hand is the lower level of Gardevoir. It just so happens that the little girl still has the key stone in her hand, so we just need to grab the key stone and Qilulian..." Kojiro put down the telescope, crossed his arms across his chest, and said excitedly.

"Cultivate it into Xanadu Meow, and then use the keystone to make it Mega Evolve Meow!" Meow Meow's eyes lit up immediately, and he continued.

"Then use the super mega evolution Xanadu to grab the little ghost's head Pikachu!" Musashi also reacted and continued.

"So - Nai - Si!" A clear voice sounded, and sure enough, Weng's blue sandbag-like figure appeared directly on the hot air balloon. At the same time, he put his hands on his head in a salute and shouted in approval. .

"Then give them to Boss Banmu!" The last three people looked at each other and said in unison.

"Promotion~"

"Get rich~"

"It's a great feeling~"

The eyes of the three people gradually became blurred, as if victory was right in front of them and they had been rewarded by Boss Banmu.

Chapter 50

"Where is the trainer~trainer~?" Walking on the road, Kerni raised her little arms again and looked around with a pair of bright eyes.

"Don't worry, this is the main road of No. [-], there will always be people passing by." Seeing the youthful Ke Erni, Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's right!" Korni nodded, slowed down her pace, walked side by side with Xu Ran, and then chattered like a little sparrow, talking to Xu Ran about her and Luka Leo's childhood.

Smelling the faint fragrance from the girl's body, Xu Ran had a smile on his face, without any impatience, and chatted with Kerni word by word.

"Don't miss it when you're passing by. Boys and girls over there, let's test your Pokémon's mega-evolution aptitude! We can all identify how powerful the mega-evolved Pokémon is and what skills it can use! "

The two were chatting happily when a voice that was very familiar to Xu Ran suddenly sounded from behind them.

The familiar voice made Xu Ran's face suddenly strange. He almost didn't need to look to know who was coming.

Xu Ran and Kerni turned their heads and saw three people, two tall and one short, wearing robes of different colors, walking towards them from under a big tree.

"Who are you?" Ke Erni glanced at the three of them with bright eyes, and asked in doubt.

"..." Looking at the strange costumes of the Rocket trio, Xu Ran couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, in his opinion, Team Rocket in the Pokémon anime and Big Big Wolf in the first season of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf can be called the two most versatile model villains in the animation industry.

One is good at everything except catching Pikachu, and the other is good at everything except not being able to eat sheep. Of course, there is another similarity, that is, the disguise is very bad, but the protagonist group just can't see it.

"I said... you three, why don't you practice your disguise skills again?" Xu Ran said with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, half-smiling.

"Eh?" The Rockets trio who had changed their costumes were stunned and startled at the same time, with a forced smile on their faces.

"Xu Ran, do you know them?" Looking at this scene, Kerni tilted her head and asked curiously.

"I have been in contact with him several times before, so I can say that I am very familiar with him." Xu Ran nodded, smiled lightly, and replied.

"Ah ha ha... This young man, I guess you have misunderstood the person, we are meeting for the first time?" Musashi seemed to have cold sweat on his forehead, and explained with a smile.

"This is our first time here. This guest, how could you possibly know us?" Kojiro rubbed his palms nervously and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, meow, we're only here!" Miaomiao hurriedly responded.
