Chapter 645: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 324

Qingyu suddenly turned his head and asked.

He didn't seem to have seen any challenger use this move before, and he hadn't taught it this move either. Could it really be self-taught?

Being asked this by Qingyu, Mewtwo subconsciously lowered its head to ponder for a moment, then turned its head to look at him again.

"..."

Qingyu was speechless for a moment.

Although it didn't say it directly, it seemed the meaning was already very obvious.

Could it really be that I have a problem???

Because the students had all left, Qingyu, who was rarely free on a weekday, decisively decided to rest early today.

However, just as he was about to return to the gym to watch a movie with Sylveon, two uninvited guests suddenly appeared.

"Yo, long time no see, little Qingyu~"

Hearing the somewhat familiar female voice, Qingyu soon looked behind him.

A thin and frail figure, iconic yellow suit paired with black suspenders, a long dark green ponytail extending from the side like a crescent moon.

Qingyu certainly knows who is coming.

The one who assessed the Sunshine Gym's certification qualification back then and sent him to the position of the eighth gym leader with her own strength—

One of the Paldea Elite Four, Rika!

As for the little tail following behind her, although mostly blocked by Rika's body, judging by the height and clothing, Qingyu already had the answer in his heart.

The future nine-year-old Steel-type Elite Four of Paldea, Poppy, who is only eight years old now and hasn't even reached the enrollment age of Naranja Academy.

"Indeed long time no see, Elite Four Rika..."

When he saw her, Qingyu's expression suddenly became a bit complex.

The division of labor among the Paldea Elite Four is very clear, among which Rika is Chairwoman Geeta's most trusted assistant, not only serving as the interviewer for the Champion Road but also being one of the important decision-makers of the League.

And the fact that she would suddenly appear in Cabo Poco uninvited can basically confirm one thing—

Should be here to convey a notice from the League side?

Qingyu thought carefully, he shouldn't have done anything out of line during this period, right?

Chairwoman Geeta didn't say anything when he almost wiped out Kitakami, and even praised him for doing a good job. Could there be something more serious than this?

Thinking and thinking, Qingyu suddenly felt like needles on his back and couldn't help but shiver.

It couldn't really be because the gym's bad review rate is leading by a wide margin, making Chairwoman Geeta have to come and remind him, right?

But besides this, there doesn't seem to be any other reason!

If he were told by Chairwoman Geeta that he was corrupting the children, it seems he would have nothing to refute...

Because he really did it!

"Don't be nervous, little Qingyu!"

Silently observing Qingyu for a while, until he discovered that his expression seemed a bit inexplicably guilty, Rika then had an expression of "I have completely understood everything."

"Coming to find you today is not because of the Sunshine Gym's bad review problem."

"Rather, Geeta is very satisfied with the current performance of the Sunshine Gym. The newcomers who can 'graduate' from you are indeed very excellent trainers."

While she spoke with a smile, she walked up in two or three steps and patted him on the shoulder.

"Also, we are colleagues now, just call me Rika directly in the future!"

"... Then I can rest assured."

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he felt a bit subtle about her instantly seeing through the thoughts in his heart, however...

"Then, what is the matter with Sister Rika coming over this time?"

Since it's not a problem with the bad review rate, then it should all be small matters!

So, no matter if it's good news or bad news, he should be able to accept it.

"Hmm... rather than calling it a notice from the League, it should be more appropriate to describe it as an invitation?"

After entering the main topic, Rika's face suddenly showed an inexplicably playful smile. After pausing for a moment to sell a small suspense, she raised the corners of her mouth and spoke softly:

"Qingyu, you should know, because of some reasons, there has been a vacant seat among the Paldea Elite Four in recent years."

"If it were in the past, this wouldn't be a big deal, but this year is different."

"The students this year are all high-quality seedlings. If they can't pass the complete Champion Road, the difficulty for them is still too low."

"Moreover, the champion selected this time needs to go deep into Area Zero as a main force to complete the cleanup work of the previous accident, so the requirements for them will only be higher."

"Therefore, after discussion by the entire League, everyone unexpectedly recommended you as this year's temporary Elite Four."

"So Chairwoman Geeta entrusted me to make a trip to ask about your opinion on serving as a temporary Elite Four."

After Rika finished speaking, she looked at Qingyu with a gentle smile, as if waiting for his reply.

"..."

Qingyu was dumbfounded.

Although he was still a bit confused about the situation, Rika's words translated into human language were:

The League has already decided, you will guard this year's Champion Road! ===== CHAPTER 647 =====
