Chapter 187: Was I set up again?

"It is said that in the canyon deep in South Province Area Three, on the east side of Mesagoza, many people have recently seen a very huge Klawf with their own eyes."

(Klawf, looks stupid and cute)

Arven continued.

"Its body size is several times larger than ordinary Klawf, even as big as a small hill, which is clearly abnormal."

"So I think... it might be the effect of some kind of Herba Mystica that stimulated the potential in its body?"

After Arven finished speaking, before Qingyu could speak, Nemona reacted first.

"Klawf! And a Klawf that is several times larger! If we could collect some shells and the crab claws it shed, how delicious would it be!"

If you add the Herba Mystica with super powerful effects that Arven mentioned...

Just thinking about it, Nemona already showed a happy expression, subconsciously reaching out to wipe the saliva that didn't exist.

"..."

Interrupted by Nemona, Qingyu almost laughed while talking about serious business, fortunately he tried his best to hold back his expression.

Klawf sticks are a very delicious ingredient in the Paldea region, processed from the shells and crab claws/legs naturally shed by Klawf, very delicious.

This matter is also recorded in "Pokémon Scarlet/Violet".

"If there is anything you need my help with, just speak up. I also want to see what effects the legendary Herba Mystica can have."

Qingyu looked at Arven and smiled.

"Hmm... I want to set off to collect some specific information about that Klawf first."

"If the situation is true, maybe in a few days, I will really have to trouble Brother Qingyu to accompany me to South Province Area Three."

Under Qingyu's encouraging gaze, Arven finally put forward his request.

"No problem."

Qingyu smiled and accepted his commission.

The strength of the first Titan Pokémon shouldn't be strong. With his current two Pokémon, it should be enough.

"And me, I want to go too!"

Seeing that she was ignored, Nemona immediately puffed up her cheeks and shouted, raising her arms high.

"Of course, then the gym will just take a day off."

As a Gym Leader, it is very normal and reasonable to not be at home every three days, right?

Qingyu thought so, nodding slowly and agreeing to Nemona.

"Then, the combat plan for this time will be called—Path of Legends."

Time turned to night.

Because there was a legitimate excuse that the gym work was busy these two days, Qingyu skipped the broadcast for a day.

At this time, he was having a video call with Cynthia.

The Devon Corporation in Hoenn, which developed the Navigator APP, recently had new progress in cooperation with the Lysandre Laboratories in the Kalos region.

Therefore, the holographic projection technology first implemented in "Pokémon Champion" was quickly applied to the Rotom Phone.

Watching the lifelike Cynthia appearing on the phone screen, Qingyu couldn't help but let out a sigh:

"The power of technology is truly great..."

"Yeah, it feels like you are by my side now."

Cynthia smiled faintly, reaching out to stroke the golden hair hanging naturally from her temples.

The unintentional small action was all seen by Qingyu.

Watching Cynthia close at hand, for some reason his heartbeat suddenly missed a few beats.

"Speaking of which, the Dragon-type Masters Tournament next month has been confirmed to be held in Mesagoza in the Paldea region. You should know about this, right?"

Cynthia didn't notice his stunned gaze, and spoke with a smile on her lips.

"Ah? I don't know..."

Qingyu came back to his senses. He really hadn't heard anyone talk about this.

Maybe it's because he has nothing to do with the Dragon type.

If it were Fighting or Normal type, maybe he could join in the fun.

"Hmm...?"

Cynthia raised her eyebrows, then patiently explained:

"The holding time of this Masters Tournament is the middle of next month. As the last large-scale event of the year, famous Dragon-type trainers from all regions will participate, so the popularity will also be very high."

"So that's it."

Qingyu nodded, indicating understanding.

In the Pokémon world, Dragon has always been synonymous with nobility, and the title of Dragon Tamer naturally has a feeling of being a head taller than other trainers.

Being able to capture a Dragon Pokémon is even the wish of many newcomer trainers.

And Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion with the fierce Garchomp as her ace, naturally has no reason not to participate.

In that case, can he see this elusive childhood sweetheart again?

And, if it's a Masters Tournament, she should stay in the Paldea region for about a week, right...

Thinking of this, Qingyu found that he was actually a little nervous.

I am really a useless thing!

While Qingyu was slandering himself in his heart, Cynthia spoke again:

"Do you remember Aunt Drasna from Celestic Town? This time she will participate as the Dragon-type Elite Four of the Kalos region."

"And the siblings Lance and Clair from the Indigo Plateau, the late-blooming Elite Four Drake from the Hoenn region, and the 'Strongest Gym Leader' Raihan from Galar, all are Dragon-type experts."

Speaking of this, Cynthia couldn't help but sigh, the half of her face exposed looked a bit lost.

"Although I am very confident in myself and Garchomp, I really have to capture another Dragon Pokémon to come to Paldea to participate."

"So, can I ask Teacher Yu, who knows everything, to help me refer to which Pokémon I should capture?"

After smoothly guiding the topic to herself, Cynthia stuck out her tongue, revealing a cunning smile.

Qingyu frowned slightly and immediately went online to check the relevant information.

It is indeed as Cynthia said, the rules of this Masters Tournament are 3v3, and at least two of them must have the attribute limited by the competition.

And Cynthia's champion main force only has one Garchomp that meets the criteria.

But Sinnoh region seems to only have one local dragon, Garchomp. You can't pull out a Palkia or Dialga...

Eh, wait?

It seems that Cynthia also has a Kommo-o in the animation.

As a late-blooming Pokémon, the breeding cycle of Jangmo-o is already very short, so it shouldn't be difficult for a champion.

Nearly a month, at least breeding it into Hakamo-o is no problem.

And, although Kommo-o is considered a Pokémon in the Alola Pokédex, it is also distributed in Kitakami.

And Kitakami...

Is right above Sinnoh!

After Qingyu told Cynthia his thoughts, he quickly got her nod of approval.

"Kommo-o? It seems to be a good choice indeed."

While Cynthia was saying this, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and quickly said:

"Speaking of which, Qingyu, you shouldn't have been to Kitakami, right? There is a beautiful scenery called 'Kitakami Six Selections'."

"If you return to Sinnoh for the New Year, do you want to go to Kitakami together?"

"It seems not impossible."

After subconsciously agreeing to Cynthia's casual suggestion, Qingyu reacted after the fact.

Wait?

I didn't seem to have any plans to return to Sinnoh for the time being, how did I agree...
