Chapter 492: The Wife Secretly Investigating Her Suspicious Husband
In the morning.
Cynthia and Lorelei sat in the hotel's lounge for a while.
The two chatted with each other, getting to know each other and their respective hometowns.
Only at this time did they truly get to know each other.
And Will, listening by the side.
Also roughly understood what differences there were in the Lorelei of this world.
First is age.
The Lorelei of this life was born two years later, only two years older than Cynthia, currently 18 years old and just coming of age.
Second is reputation.
At the same age, the Lorelei of the previous life had already become the Water Elite Four, one of the Chief Elite Four of the Indigo Plateau, at the age of 18.
And the current Lorelei is only considered a quite famous Ice-type star trainer within the scope of the Kanto and Johto regions.
Finally is the Pokémon lineup.
Lorelei's Dive Ball was saved for Lapras.
Froslass' whereabouts are unknown.
Replacing the positions of Will and Froslass are Mamoswine and Jynx.
With five Ice-types and four Water-types in the team, it can be considered confirming the configuration of the Ice Elite Four Lorelei in this life.
Two youthful and beautiful young women sitting together chatting can truly be considered a nice scenery line.
Will couldn't help fantasizing.
If at this time he could lie in Liz's arms, enjoy her ear-cleaning service, and rest his feet on Big Cat's belly, then this little life would truly be unmatched.
Watching them chat passionately.
Will went to get two cups of drinks, a peach-flavored probiotic yogurt for Cynthia, and a matcha-flavored pearl milk tea for Lorelei.
Lorelei took it and took a sip, her eyes lighting up:
"Mm~ This drink is so good. I used to always think milk tea was too cloying, so I didn't really like drinking it, but this flavor is quite nice."
"I recommend the peach-flavored probiotic one, mm~ the honeydew melon and green apple flavors are also not bad..."
Cynthia recommended and recommended, almost putting herself back into aboulomania.
Time gradually came to noon.
The hotel restaurant.
As the host of this Star Trainer Tournament, the Kalos League has to take care of the contestants' health and dining experience, and inevitably has to bring out a batch of the most authoritative Breeders in the League.
Similarly, this is also one of the means to show the League's strength, trying to see if they can poach potential contestants from other regions.
Like Drasna.
She was poached over by the environment of the Kalos region and the heavy profits of the Kalos League.
Otherwise.
Drasna would probably have become one of the Elite Four of the Sinnoh League.
"What does Sister Lorelei want to eat?"
Cynthia held Lorelei's shoulder, calling her sister affectionately with every mouthful.
Those who didn't know would think the two had known each other for ten or eight years.
"Anything, no special dietary restrictions."
"Then let's go find a seat first. Lucario, I'll trouble you with ordering the food."
Cynthia turned her head and said a sentence, then pulled Lorelei away.
Will glanced at the direction they left.
Turned around and headed towards the front desk.
This hotel's restaurant is very interesting; it lets the contestants order and carry the dishes themselves.
It's not that they can't afford waiters.
It's because they're afraid of waiters taking bribes and secretly drugging the food during the delivery process.
Although there is no precedent for such a thing, one cannot feel it's impossible to happen in the future just because of that.
Taking precautions is still necessary.
When Will returned carrying a large tray.
Cynthia and Lorelei took a look.
Strange expressions appeared on their respective faces.
What Cynthia found strange was: Why did Lucario order some seafood?
She and Lucario rarely eat seafood usually.
Especially seafood with bones and shells.
What Lorelei found strange was: Why are there so many things I like to eat in here?
Could it be that Cynthia's taste unexpectedly overlaps with mine to a high degree?
They kept their doubts in their hearts.
They didn't say much, eating while chatting.
And next, Cynthia and Lorelei discovered where the problem lay.
Cynthia completely didn't touch the seafood.
And the seafood was basically all eaten by Lorelei, and eaten very proficiently.
Seeing this.
Both women felt extremely weird in their hearts.
This dog.
How does he know Lorelei so well?
Lorelei might still think it's a coincidence.
After all, she comes from the Four Island of the Sevii Islands; anyone who knows her knows she eats more seafood usually.
But Cynthia didn't think so.
In the past, she had never seen Will specifically pay attention to a certain trainer.
But Blonde-kun didn't speak.
Suppressing the weirdness in her heart to finish the meal.
Came to the agreed battle time in the afternoon.
Will knew.
It was time to severely strike his old teammate.
He hadn't paid much attention in this life to what specific level Lorelei was currently at, but at this point in time, it should only be a matter of the next two years before she becomes the Ice Elite Four.
So.
No matter how bad the current Lorelei's strength is, she should still be a Gym Leader-level trainer.
Highly likely the same as Cynthia.
Is a quasi-Elite Four.
On the grassland outside the hotel.
As Will had guessed, this grassland had already gathered a large number of wild trainers.
They were all fans who came following their idols.
When Cynthia and Lorelei appeared on the field, a large crowd of trainers immediately gathered around them spontaneously, among which at least 70% were girls.
They weren't all necessarily battle trainers.
Half were Coordinators, Breeders, and even trainers from other industries.
Girls, after all.
Like to chase stars more.
Chasing across fields and industries is also normal.
"Let's use a 3v3 arena format for the battle, right?"
"Okay."
The two sides casually discussed.
After all, it's just a pre-match training; finding the feeling is the most important thing.
Fighting a 6v6 full-team match would be a bit too tiring, and it would make their commanding lose shape later on, which would not be worth the loss.
"Lucario, you go first."
Cynthia turned to look at Will, subtle light flickering in her gray eyes, and even murmured a sentence when Will passed by,
"I won't give commands, you play freely."
Will glanced at her, the hairs on his back standing up.
It was truly the first time seeing such a Cynthia.
Feeling...
Like a wife secretly investigating her suspicious husband.
Worthy of being Cynthia.
Among the several trainers he has brought up, she is indeed the sharpest one.
In just half a day.
Has she already noticed he has a relationship with Lorelei?
Unfortunately.
Wronged him.
He and this Lorelei in front of him.
Indeed do not have the slightest relationship.
"Oh oh~"
"Lucario~ look at sister here~"
"Lucario~ it's mommy~ Mommy is here~"
"Lu-baby Lu-baby~"
As soon as Will took the field, a wave of cheers erupted off the field.
Among Cynthia's fan base, at least half like Will the most, and the remaining half is split equally among the five partners.
Thanks to these fans.
Having walked the world for many years, he inexplicably gained a large bunch of 'relatives', mostly 'sisters' and 'wives'.
But this is nothing.
Cannot shake Will's strong heart in the slightest.
After all, in the previous life.
He was a super cute Piplup.
And the signature Pokémon of the Water Elite Four Lorelei.
Walking in bustling big cities.
It truly was a mommy every three steps and an auntie every five steps.
This kind of thing now.
Are all small scenes.
Hasn't even reached the time of highest fame yet.
Wait until Cynthia becomes Champion in the future, and he brings Mega Evolution before the eyes of the world.
At that time.
He and Cynthia will be national idols.
"Sending out the ace right off the bat? The pressure is really big."
Lorelei looked at the unusually tall dog opposite her and smiled helplessly.
But being afraid is probably impossible.
Trainers who can reach this step don't know what fear is.
Even Flint, who was single-handedly soloed by Will, encountering Will again on the battlefield today, still dares to clamor loudly.
"Then, who is it."
Will stood on the field, rolled his wrists, a nostalgic expression appearing on his face.
The gender composition of the team in the previous life.
Is exactly the same as in this life.
Besides Will, the other few are all sisters.
Wondering next.
Which sister will come up first to get beaten.
Except for Mamoswine and Jynx, which he doesn't know well, the other four...
To speak bluntly.
He could put both hands behind his back and violently beat them the whole time without using his hands.
No helping it.
Too familiar.
Even if it's Mamoswine and Jynx, it doesn't matter; he knows Lorelei's commanding style, and can roughly guess the opponent's actions.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.
Lorelei's measurements are no secret in front of Will; facing him is destined to only have the path of defeat.
The first contestant Lorelei sent out was the Mamoswine Will was unfamiliar with.
The 2.5-meter-tall Mamoswine looked like a little brother by his eyes; that short big tail behind his butt gave Will a strong desire to pet it a bit.
"Beating a little brother, I'll have to hit a bit heavier."
Will grinned.
Don't look at Mamoswine being big and full of power.
But this Ice typing is not a good typing.
Ice and Ground-type Mamoswine, if without the Thick Fat Ability, is even more doomed.
Immune to one Electric-type, resists one Poison-type.
Besides that, has no typing advantage surface.
Then fully five type weaknesses.
Namely Fighting, Steel, Water, Fire, and Grass.
Except for the Grass-type, which Will hasn't dabbled much in this life, the other four all match up.
Choosing Mamoswine to face him is truly not a good choice.
But after all, it's just a training match.
Lorelei probably also plans to borrow Will's hands to properly increase the intensity for Mamoswine.
The battle had just begun.
Will rushed up with an Extreme Speed.
"Blizzard to surround yourself!"
Lorelei's command was quite swift.
Also made Will confirm, Lorelei definitely researched his combat style.
However.
Will anticipated Lorelei's anticipation.
At the moment her voice just sounded, his body abruptly stopped, stopping at a position five meters away from Mamoswine.
Leaped up and flipped, clapped both arms.
A huge fireball flashing with rainbow-colored light was instantly shot out.
The scorching flames melted a large hole in the biting Blizzard, and then crashed onto Mamoswine's body.
"Wah-ho!!"
Mamoswine's howl of pain sounded.
Before the flames obscuring the line of sight dispersed, Lorelei's pupils suddenly shrank slightly:
"Use High Horsepower towards the front."
Will, rushing out from the flames, raised his eyebrows, too late to dodge, and was actually knocked flying by the incoming Mamoswine.
Ground-type damage logically should be super effective against Will.
Unfortunately.
He has the Earth Plate.
So although it looked visually like Will took a fierce impact, actually the damage was very small.
What surprised him was...
The Lorelei of this world seems not to have the reckless impulsiveness of the one he brought up?
What does that mean?
Is it because he protected Lorelei too well in the previous life?
