Chapter 455: Riolu and... a constellation?

The light gradually dissipated, and a petite figure replaced the Pokémon egg, appearing at the top of the round table.

It was a Pokémon that looked like a puppy; its legs and the upper part of its torso were black, and its tail was blue.

On the back of its front paws was a white circular patch, and one could faintly see pink paw pads.

Even though it was just born, the Riolu's fur was very soft and smooth, looking very pettable.

On the puppy's face were black markings like a mask; after a few breaths, a pair of red eyes, not as confused or timid as a newborn Pokémon, opened and stared blankly at Su Hao below.

"Riolu~~"

Perhaps because it was just born, the Riolu's voice was very soft and sweet, making Su Hao's heart almost melt.

Because the top layer of the multi-layered table was quite high, Su Hao was worried that the Riolu would accidentally fall down because of fear, and said nervously: "Queen Eileen, I don't need to state the compatibility, right... look?"

Considering that the Riolu nominally still belonged to Rota, Su Hao could only seek the Queen's opinion.

Eileen was stunned for a moment, looked back and forth between Su Hao and the Riolu with complicated eyes, and sighed: "Naturally, you may, guest."

Hearing this, Su Hao, who had been meeting the Riolu's gaze and Aura, opened his arms.

The Riolu seemed to trust Su Hao very much; it tried hard to stand up, its small blue ears twitched, and it jumped without hesitation!

"Riolu~~" ヽ(?? 。)ノ

Seeing this, Su Hao jumped up from where he was.

From a height of nearly two or three meters, before the Riolu could be pulled downward by gravity, it was caught directly by Su Hao, who had jumped up, and held in his arms.

At this moment, many guests couldn't hold it anymore, especially the participants who hadn't participated in the matching yet and had delusions that they could match with the Royal Bloodline Riolu.

I haven't even gone on stage yet, and the grand prize has been taken away!?

Su Hao had originally thought that Rota would make some other demands, or play dirty and not let him take the Riolu away.

Unexpectedly, Queen Eileen was unexpectedly broad-minded; not only did she pause the event for a moment, but she also had a maid bring warm Moomoo Milk for Su Hao, who wasn't prepared, to feed the Riolu.

She even said bluntly that Su Hao could put the Riolu, which had eaten its fill and fallen into a sleep to recover the physical strength consumed by hatching, into a Poké Ball.

After Su Hao caught the Riolu with the Luxury Ball he carried, the event continued.

A total of forty participants, and in the end, only twenty-five people matched with a Pokémon egg and took it away.

Others, though regretful, didn't dare to act out; after all, a large group of dignitaries from various countries was currently gathered in Rota, and they couldn't afford to lose face.

Zhao Yunlan was lucky; on the premise that the grand prize on the fifth layer was taken away by Su Hao, he matched with a Squirtle Pokémon egg on the fourth layer, with a compatibility of a full 57%.

The warm-up activity before the banquet ended, the dome of the banquet hall opened, and under the starry sky, the normal diplomatic banquet finally kicked off.

The bright lights dimmed slightly, the air was filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers, and the long table pushed up later was covered with luxurious tableware and silk scarves, set with various delicacies and fine wines.

For a time, guests from various countries in exquisite evening gowns raised champagne and chatted happily. ===== CHAPTER 456 =====
