FWF Chapter 596 Taking Rukia and Lillie to Hoenn
Chapter 596 Taking Rukia and Lillie to Hoenn
"Thank you so much, Brother Luo Chen!"
Daigo's voice was unusually excited; you could almost picture him clenching his fist and swinging it in the hallway, even through the phone.
This Hoenn champion usually has a calm and collected demeanor, but it's only at times like this that he reveals a bit of his youthful spirit.
"Don't be so polite with me, we're good brothers." Li Luochen replied with a smile, and casually patted the Charizard's neck to signal it to speed up.
The fire-breathing dragon raised its head and let out a deep roar. With a sudden flap of its wings, it soared into the sky towards Rongcheng.
After hanging up the phone, Li Luochen put his phone back in his pocket.
We're leaving tomorrow, so I need to get a good night's rest tonight.
......
......
The following day at noon, the aroma of food filled the living room of the Minrong Martial Arts Hall.
Li Luochen sat at the dining table, shoveling rice into his mouth while leaning his suitcase, which he had packed the night before, against the side of his chair, clearly preparing to leave as soon as he finished eating.
"Hey, you're leaving already after just getting back?"
Azure carried the freshly cooked soup out of the kitchen and immediately noticed the suitcase, her brows furrowing instantly.
She placed the soup on the table, stood in front of Li Luochen with her hands on her hips, and said in a tone full of dissatisfaction, "At least stay with us for a little while."
"There's no way I can refuse. Something happened in the Hoenn region, and Daigo personally called to ask for my help. I have to go."
Li Luochen put down his chopsticks, picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, and explained in the most concise way.
"Huh? The Hoenn region?"
Ryukia peeked out from behind Azure, her eyes wide open.
She was curled up on the sofa playing games, but as soon as she heard the words "Hoenn", she instantly perked up and even threw the game console aside.
That's her hometown!
She grew up in Hoenn and was a Contest of Fame idol for many years. She knew every town and every race track there like the back of her hand.
"I want to go too!" Rukia jumped up from the sofa, ran to the dining table, placed her hands on the tabletop, and stared at Li Luochen with bright eyes. "Brother Luochen, take me with you! I haven't been home in so long, I want to go back and visit!"
"you?"
Li Luochen put down the soup bowl in his hand and pondered for a moment.
Rukia rested her hands on the dining table, her face full of expectant anticipation, as if she were saying, "Say it already!"
But he didn't answer immediately; instead, he thought of someone.
Michael, Ryukyu Aya's uncle, is also a reserve champion of the Hoenn League.
Michael entrusted Rukia to him because he didn't want her to get involved in all the messy things in the Hoenn region.
If Rukia were to go with a troublesome meteorite crisis, Michael would be furious with her.
Li Luochen looked troubled, twirling his chopsticks between his fingers as he carefully chose his words: "Your uncle entrusted you to me because he didn't want you involved in these things. This trip to Fengyuan isn't for tourism; it's to handle serious business. What if something goes wrong..."
"Brother Luo Chen is the best! And I won't run around!"
Rukia pressed herself against him, wrapped her arms around Li Luochen's arm, and looked up at him with pleading eyes.
The expectation in her eyes was almost overflowing, and combined with her already excessively sweet face, her charm was doubled.
She shook Li Luochen's arm, her voice soft and clingy: "I'll talk to Uncle Mikeli myself~ If he gets angry, he'll just scold me, he won't blame Brother Luochen."
"And I haven't been back to Hoenn in ages. I want to see the Grand Contest venue in Lilycove City, I want to see the stars at Mossdeep Cosmic Center, I want to go to the beach in Slateport City..."
She rattled off several place names in one breath, counting them off on her fingers on Li Luochen's arm, showing no intention of letting go.
Azure stood to the side, holding a bowl and watching the commotion, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
"Take her with you."
A soft and elegant voice sounded beside Li Luochen.
The air rippled slightly as Cattleya silently appeared beside the dining table, her long golden hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, her azure eyes holding a faint smile.
"Hehe, since Sister Gadalia has said so, Brother Luo Chen, you should agree already!"
Ryukia hugged Li Luochen's arm tightly.
With Cattleya's support, she felt victory was within reach.
Li Luochen looked at the clingy little idol in his arms, then at the smiling, silent Gadria beside him, and after a moment of silence, he finally gave in: "Fine, I'll take you. But—"
He pointed a finger at Ryukia's forehead, his tone becoming more serious, "Once we get to Hoenn, you must stay with me the whole time. Don't wander off. Tell me immediately if anything happens."
"Okay! Rukia promises to obey me the whole time!"
Ryukia sprang up from Li Luochen, stood up straight, and raised her right hand to her temple in a gesture of swearing.
Bilan picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it into Li Luochen's bowl, sighing, "Look at you, you spoil him rotten."
"If I don't spoil them, who will?"
Li Luochen reached out and pinched Bi Lan's cheek; it felt as good as ever.
Bilan's cheeks puffed out from his pinching, and she raised her hand to slap his hand away, but her ears had already turned red.
"Remember to bring Lillie along too."
Cattleya suddenly added, looking at Li Luochen with a faint smile, "That child has been feeling cooped up in the dojo lately, it'll be good to take her out for a walk. Besides—she misses you a lot."
Li Luochen paused for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, after Lillie came to the Minrong Gym from the Alola region, although everyone took good care of her, the quiet and introverted girl always hid herself in a corner and rarely made any requests.
I'm taking her with me on this trip to Hoenn, just so she can relax and clear her head.
Li Luochen quickly finished the rice in his bowl, then got up and walked towards Lillie's room.
"Lillie, would you like to come with me to the Hoenn region?"
We went upstairs.
Li Luochen gently pushed open the door and peeked halfway in.
Lillie was sitting at the desk by the window, holding a book about Pokémon breeding.
Upon hearing Li Luochen's words, Lillie turned her head slightly and subconsciously asked, "The Hoenn region?"
