Chapter 260: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 143

Machi sighed softly in her heart, but thinking of what Luo Ge had mentioned earlier that day, her anticipation grew a bit stronger.

According to Luo Ge and Menqi, the Kakin Empire is suspected of holding hostility toward the Greed Company, even planning to strike.

Intelligence from Rotom, the company, and other networks has confirmed this speculation through Kakin's covert movements.

They estimate that within a few days, Kakin will launch a formal offensive, intending to swallow them whole.

They feel no fear whatsoever.

When the time comes, they will make Kakin understand one thing.

They are not tender meat to be devoured at will, but hardened steel capable of shattering Kakin's teeth!

Seizing this opportunity, she can fully display her abilities and contribute to the company and to Luo Ge.

It is also a prime chance to prove her own strength.

She has trained hard for so many years yet had few chances to act; now that she has finally found a good opportunity, she naturally must show off a few moves.

It is not just her.

With the great battle confirmed to be imminent, everyone's blood boils with excitement, eager to display their skills.

For now, only they and the elite subordinates who have signed the 【Absolute Contract】 know about the upcoming war.

However, if war truly breaks out, they will be the main combat force.

Approximately thirty first-rate Nen users!

Around five hundred second-rate Nen users!

Around eight hundred third-rate Nen users!

The mark of a first-rate Nen user is mastery of most advanced application techniques, with the range of 【En】 reaching 50 meters.

Representative figures include: Biscuit, Morel, Kite...

The mark of a second-rate Nen user is the ability to use multiple advanced application techniques.

Representative figures include: the suited man encountered in the Uroko Ruins, the Phantom Troupe's Dark Beasts...

The mark of a third-rate Nen user is simpler: being able to use the Four Major Techniques is enough; even those without Nen fall into this category.

If such a massive combat force were exposed to the world, it would surely make every faction tremble.

Without anyone noticing, a new top-tier power has already been born in the world!

Although he is unclear about the specific details, Luo Ge is confident that his faction is absolutely not inferior to any superpower.

It could even stand comparison with multiple great powers.

In the coming war with Kakin, his faction will bare its fangs for the first time, shaking the world with its name!

From then on, it will surely attract more attention and hostility, but so what?

He already possesses the ability to flip the table!

While Luo Ge and the others chatted and drank freely, the Pokémon played nearby.

After the meal, they grew idle and began to frolic and wrestle.

"Eevee!"

At Eevee's command, the other Pokémon quickly found places to hide.

They were playing hide-and-seek, with Eevee acting as "it" for now.

Facing a large tree, Eevee counted aloud, one by one, then turned around, seeing only Luo Ge and the others chatting on the other side.

Not a single trace of the other Pokémon could be seen.

Eevee puffed out its cheeks, stomped forward a few steps in a huff, then acted cute and called out twice.

"Eevee, Eevee!"

It didn't want to play anymore and planned to leave.

"Happy?"

Blissey emerged from the bushes on the other side, asking in confusion.

Hadn't their game just begun?

"Eevee!"

Seeing Blissey step out voluntarily, Eevee smiled and indicated that it had found Blissey.

Its little trick had succeeded.

"Happy..."

Blissey expressed that this game was not fun at all.

Luo Ge, listening to the conversation between the two Pokémon from the side, found his expression hard to maintain.

For some reason, he felt that the "Happy" Blissey said sounded like it was calling Eevee "Hap-pi" (a pun on "idiot").

Having been found by Eevee, Blissey had no choice but to stand in the open as Eevee continued to search with its short little legs.

Since the designated area for hide-and-seek was just nearby, finding them would be quite easy.

First, the bulky Nidoking was discovered, followed by the Milotic hiding underwater.

Spiritomb and Aegislash hadn't even tried to hide; they simply found a spot under a tree's shade and fell fast asleep, so it was no surprise they were found too.

One pair was rather interesting.

Togekiss carried Greedent through the sky, holding out until the time limit and winning.

That night, both people and Pokémon were joyful; the harmonious atmosphere made everyone feel comfortable.

The night had grown deep.

After washing up, Luo Ge was about to lie down on the bed to sleep.

Suddenly, a few knocks on the door sounded.

In the quiet night, these few knocks on the door immediately caught Luo Ge's attention.

So late, who could be coming to see him?

He rose to open the door, and a graceful figure came into view.

She seemed to have just finished bathing.

Wrapped in a white bathrobe that carried a misty dampness, a stray lock of hair clung to her Bai Xi neck.

Her exquisite features paired with a soft jawline, and a pair of lively, beautiful eyes seemed to hold the stars of the entire sky, making one gaze in them unconsciously.

He could also smell the scent of Zhu Di's shampoo, a rich floral fragrance.

The girl who had once seemed somewhat green had now grown up and matured into a tall, mature woman with a fiery figure.

The loose bathrobe could hardly conceal her curvaceous form.

Perhaps it was because she had just bathed, or perhaps because her heart was uneasy.

Zhu Di's jade-like cheeks were dyed with a flush of crimson, red within white, as if blood could drip from them.

"Zhu Di, what is this?"

"Shh."

Zhu Di extended a finger like a green onion and gently pressed it against Luo Ge's lips.

"Listen to me first, okay?"

As she spoke, Zhu Di took two steps forward; Luo Ge instinctively stepped back, allowing Zhu Di to close the door, then she advanced step by step.

Luo Ge's heart trembled slightly.

He vaguely guessed the development to come.

Zhu Di, she...

"Luo Ge."

"Do you remember the scene of our first meeting?"

"Hmm..."

"That day, I was being scolded as usual, and then you arrived at the casino with Machi and Shizuku."

"The sight of those bodyguards dying suddenly indeed frightened me; at that time, I was very terrified, worried that you would eliminate me as well."

"But you didn't."

"Later, when you proposed that I take over the family, my heart was filled with mixed feelings."

"Moved that I had finally waited for an opportunity to fulfill my ambitions and show my true worth."

"And also afraid that one day I would be silenced by you, dying without knowing why."

"After getting along with you, I realized my previous worries were nothing but baseless; you are all good people."

"You are the good people who saved me, or rather, family."

"Then we worked together to develop our power, not neglecting the cultivation of our own strength, letting me see a much broader world."

"The gratitude in my heart has long transformed into affection; in my heart, you are not only that family member who spent day and night with me, but also the hero who saved me."

"I wonder if my hero is willing to accept me?"

"Everything I have belongs to you."

As Zhu Di spoke further, her voice grew weaker and weaker; out of shyness, the roots of her ears were also dyed with a blush.

At this moment, various scenes with Zhu Di reflected in Luo Ge's mind, linking together.

Under the setting sun, he and Zhu Di danced together.

In the car, Zhu Di leaned against his shoulder, speaking cheesy pick-up lines that Rose had apparently taught her.

In the office, Zhu Di's figure working by candlelight late into the night to handle company affairs...

Scene after scene presented itself in his mind.

For some reason.

Luo Ge suddenly remembered the item 【Red Thread】 he had obtained during the day.

Could it be some kind of hidden hint?

When he came to his senses, his arms had already embraced Zhu Di, holding each other.

Zhu Di's eyes were slightly moist; the bathrobe quietly fell, revealing a realm of imagination below.

White flowers... tender... above the full moon... black... silk...

Luo Ge had just opened his eyes wide when, in the next moment, slightly moist red lips kissed him, inseparable for a long time.

Time seemed to return to many years ago, to his first kiss, when Zhu Di ambushed him.

As the passion deepened, the situation gradually escalated.

The Blood Lotus bloomed.

She did it; she was the first!

The corridor outside the room.

Machi leaned against the white wall, clear cold features showing obvious sorrow and regret.

A streak of Bai Guang shone through the window onto her face, making her already Bai Xi face appear even paler.

The sorrow was because the person inside was not her.

The regret was because she had not struck a step earlier.

Otherwise, the person standing outside the door now would not be her.

Why is it always like this?

She was clearly the one who arrived first, yet every time she ended up a step behind the sneaky cat...
