Chapter 102 The Mysterious Golden Pokémon?!

"?"

Zhu Lan didn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Li Luochen's words, and a look of confusion appeared on her delicate face.

Cattleya quickly realized what was being said, covered her mouth with her hand, and chuckled softly.

Looking out from the bamboo and orchid.

Only then did Gadriya explain, "Zhulan, Luo Chen is saying that you didn't assign any work to Senior Kikuno, which shows respect for your elders."

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhu Lan nodded gently.

It really is so.

Kikuno is almost at retirement age, and I feel embarrassed to hand over the work to her.

Wusong, Daye, and Aliu are young and strong, so it's not a problem for them to do more work.

Soon, everyone finished lunch chatting and laughing.

"Honey, I'm going shopping with Zhulan this afternoon. Do you want me to bring you anything?"

Jia Deliya, holding Zhu Lan's hand, looked at Li Luochen and asked.

"Just bring me some berries, that'll do. Our supplies are running low, and I need to make some afternoon tea for the Charizards later."

When Li Luochen was in the kitchen that morning, he noticed that the tree fruit reserves were almost depleted.

Originally, Shi Lan was in charge of the procurement, but the other party "stormed" into the secret realm early in the morning and probably won't be able to come out for a while.

Since Cattleya is out, she can just bring some back for her when she comes back.

"OK~ Let's go then~"

The two women went out shopping.

It's worth mentioning that, in order to avoid attracting too much attention, Zhu Lan paid to lease out the nearby commercial street.

Catherine was a little dissatisfied with this. She was the one who was supposed to book the whole place, so how could she let Zhulanhua, who was a guest, pay for it?

After Gadalia finished acting cute with Zhulan, Zhulan pinched Gadalia's cheek and said:

"I heard that your family has ordered that they will not provide much assistance until you reach the Heavenly King level."

"Xiao Luochen has had a tough time too. If you keep spending money so lavishly these days, it'll easily lead to a cash shortage. At least think about him, right?"

Of course, Cattleya had taken this into consideration, and said to Zhulan, "Oh dear, my husband agrees to this too. It's just that we wanted to show you hospitality since you're here."

Zhu Lan agreed: "Then invite me again after you reach the Heavenly King level and your family invests money again."

"Hmm~ We haven't gone shopping in ages, let's go~"

Jia Deliya pulled Zhu Lan along as they strolled through the commercial street.

Meanwhile, at the Minrong Taoist Temple.

Only Li Luochen, Mingyi, and Liuqiya remained in the dojo.

Mingyi returned to her room and made a phone call to the film crew to discuss matters.

With nothing else to do, Ryukia happily followed behind Li Luochen.

Noticing the "tagalong" that had activated its auto-follow function behind him, Li Luochen was both amused and exasperated: "Ryukia, why are you following me like this?"

"I want to see what you do every day, Chenbao~"

Rukia naturally followed, and looking at the large number of Pokémon in the gym's backyard, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Chenbao, do you have to take care of so many Pokémon every day?"

No, not at all.

Li Luochen shook his head, followed Ryukia's gaze, and pointed to some Pokémon: "These are Pokémon that are retired in the gym. They are usually taken care of by Fennekin. If anything happens to the gym, they will lend a hand."

"Besides those Pokémon, there are only my partner and Gadalia's partner left. I'm usually in charge of training them."

"Wow! Chenbao is really amazing! Look at how well they're being raised; they're all perfectly grown!"

Upon hearing this, Rukia praised him without hesitation.

As a fellow advanced breeder, Ryukia could tell that Li Luochen was very responsible, and there was nothing wrong with the breeding of each Pokémon.

Of course, if you really want to nitpick...

It just feels like the figures of the Pokémon Guradon and Naganadel are inexplicably out of shape.

"Of course, don't you know who your brother Luo Chen is?"

Li Luochen laughed heartily, ruffled Ryukia's hair, and boasted.

His training strategy was already good, and now with the training manuals given to him by Lancelot and Bluegreen, combined with his own training experience, he has naturally raised the Pokémon in his team to be better and better.

When Li Luochen stroked her head, Ryukia's cute little face couldn't help but blush, but she didn't try to pull away and let him stroke her.

Seeing Li Luochen start boasting, she wasn't as reserved as when they met early yesterday morning: "That's right~ This is the Chenbao I know online~"

Li Luochen smiled without saying a word, and also let go of his hand, putting it into his pocket.

Walk to the backyard.

Those retired Pokémon seemed rather excited.

Seeing this, Li Luochen went over to see what was going on.

They discovered that Lucario was standing on a rock, teaching a group of Pokémon how to unleash various moves.

The Lucario in front of me isn't the one belonging to Naruto, but rather to Cynthia.

Seeing Li Luochen approaching.

Lucario stopped teaching, leaped several steps, and almost became a blur, disappearing from sight.

Then, Lucario appeared in front of Li Luochen and smiled at him.

"Luca".

From the very first glance, Lucario developed an inexplicable fondness for Li Luochen, even taking the initiative to greet him and casually asking if he understood Aura.

"I know a little bit."

Li Luochen waved his hand and said modestly, "If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me."

"Luca." (Okay...wait, what?)

Lucario was dumbfounded.

What does it mean that I can ask him if there's anything I don't understand?

But Lucario didn't take those words to heart; he simply took them as a joke.

Seeing that Li Luochen had nothing else to do and had just come to check on things, Lucario didn't say much and continued to help the veterans in the gym master some moves.

After circling around for a bit, greeting the retired Pokémon, and confirming that there were no unexpected incidents, Li Luochen headed straight for his own Pokémon.

"Agh!" (Boss, something terrible has happened!)

"Naga!" (Master! A Pokémon has stolen the food we hid!)

As soon as Li Luochen approached, he heard Guleton and the Four-jawed Needle Dragon howling.

He went closer and saw the two clinging to a giant tree.

The tree hollow was completely empty; there was nothing inside.

Charizard, Dragonair, Blaze, and Waterwave all frowned.

Their food has also disappeared.

I originally intended to try it as a snack, but it disappeared after only a few tries.

Therefore, Leton gritted his teeth and immediately entered his full power mode, vowing to make that Pokémon pay the price.

The four-jawed needle dragon shared the same idea, feeling that the thieves needed to be given a highly venomous meal.

You love being a little glutton, don't you?

Watch me use this deadly poison to make you feel like you're in heaven!

"Don't rush, let me see what's going on."

Li Luochen waved his hand, indicating that Guleton and Four-jawed Needle Dragon should not rush.

He then activated his waveguide power at full strength to check what was going on.

The system text appeared before my eyes as soon as it was turned on.

[Hehe~ This is the time to bring out our account opening system!]

These days, the system feels it can't be outdone by Gyarados.

I changed my name to "The Strongest Gym Leader System - Account Opening Version" overnight.

The purpose was so that when Li Luochen needed to find something, he could open an account in time.

only……

"You seem to be late again."

Li Luochen pointed at Lucario approaching from a distance, noticing it was carrying some kind of glittering golden object, and complained to the system, "System, next time, why don't you show me the detailed stats first before you brag about it?"

After saying that, Li Luochen ignored the crying system and carefully examined the "thing" Lucario was carrying, his expression changing.

"Holy crap? A flashy spell?!"

Wait... whose child is this?
