Chapter 500: Cynthia is Attacking!!!
When the Seel returned once more.
The Water-type Pokémon following behind him could simply be described as a mighty and grand army.
It even frightened the people playing on the beach of Veilstone City pale with terror, thinking the Pokémon had gone berserk, and they fled madly like dodging a tsunami.
"Underestimated you, you are the real succubus."
Cold sweat trickled down Will's forehead.
You have to know.
From such a far distance.
These Water-type Pokémon couldn't actively perceive the aura of the Sea Crown.
That is to say.
The Water-type Pokémon coming right now didn't know they were going to help the King of the Sea who possessed the Sea Crown.
Merely because of Seel's plea for help, they spontaneously gathered over, forming this large contingent of various sea Pokémon converging before his eyes at this moment.
So Will said.
Seel is the real succubus.
Simply the social butterfly of this sea area, an existence like the group's pet.
The difference between him and Seel.
Is probably the difference between an acquired succubus and an innate succubus.
Will became a succubus relying on the bonuses of rare items like the Sea Crown and the Dragon Stone, as well as the temperamental influence of cultivating Aura Power year-round.
While Seel became the succubus of this sea area relying on its naturally cute appearance, voice, and extraordinary social skills.
"Wawuu~"
Seel leaped out of the sea surface and threw itself back into Will's arms.
It happily swung its little tail and waist, wearing an expression eager to be praised.
"So amazing, so amazing~"
Will hurriedly reached out and stroked its little head.
This child sure has a lot of strength when flopping around.
Then he looked up at the ocean army stopped ahead waiting to be dealt with.
Deep-sea species like Tentacruel, Dewgong, and Gyarados go without saying.
Even lake creatures like Blastoise, Feraligatr, and Quagsire could be seen one or two of in the contingent.
Truly don't know where this little guy went to get to know these Pokémon.
"Oh my~ That child called over so many Pokémon."
Cynthia stood in the back, dumbfounded looking at this sea surface.
The number of Water-type Pokémon.
Must be around forty or fifty.
This kind of scale is already enough to cause a certain commotion.
Without a doubt.
Soon the Gym Leader of the Veilstone Gym will receive the news and come to investigate.
"Tini..."
Victini's big eyes were full of envy.
If only he could be this charming too.
Raise his arms and shout.
And a huge bunch of good friends run over.
At this time.
The Water-type Pokémon called over by Seel also noticed Will.
At this distance, if they still couldn't notice the rich aura of the King of the Sea on his body, then Will would probably be holding a fake Sea Crown.
For a moment, the Water-type Pokémon all became restless, crowding towards his side one after another.
"Hehe, let's go pet Seel too?"
Cynthia, hugging Victini, walked over.
"Tini."
Will didn't notice the two's approach.
He was currently persuading those Water-type Pokémon to go back.
But unfortunately.
No effect at all.
They stuck to Will's side, constantly lingering.
Some idiots even stranded themselves, and Will had to throw them back into the sea.
It's rare for everyone to see the King of the Sea once.
How could they leave so easily.
This is also one of the invisible drawbacks of the Sea Crown.
That is, it's easy to call these Pokémon over, but hard to make them go back.
After all, Pokémon have their own wills and are not puppets who obey Will's every word; moreover, these children gathered because they like him.
As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling person.
Will was also too embarrassed to forcefully drive them away.
"Oh my~ The fluff on this child is so soft~"
"Tini~"
Hearing the voice by his ear.
Will turned his head to look.
Seel had already been hugged in Cynthia's arms being petted, and Victini was lying on Seel's belly enjoying that softness.
"Stop playing, get ready to set off, otherwise I'm afraid more and more Pokémon will gather here. We better not cause trouble for the Veilstone Gym Leader."
Will released his perception.
Perceived that the Pokémon in this sea area seemed to be gathering over.
Must hurry up and leave.
"Okay."
Cynthia nodded obediently.
Will scooped up Blonde-kun by the waist, then jumped onto the back of a Lapras.
No need to doubt.
Among the Water-type Pokémon that can act as transportation, the one with the highest comfort is undoubtedly Lapras.
Without exception.
Lapras is the sole phantom god among this type of Pokémon.
Below Lapras, it's only Kyogre and Wailord's turn; those like Gyarados, Blastoise, and Samurott have to stand back a tier.
"Lapras, can I ask you to take us to the isolated island over there?"
Will reached out and stroked Lapras's neck.
"Eeh~"
Lapras happily stretched her neck to respond, using her four flippers to glide over the water surface, advancing quickly and steadily.
As Will moved.
The other Water-type Pokémon followed suit one after another.
The current him is like the richest man going out, having to carry a huge bunch of bodyguards with him everywhere.
Want to block the way.
Have to ask the opinions of these Pokémon beside Will first.
And on the journey that followed.
The thing Will least wanted to see happen still happened.
The Water-type Pokémon gathering around them were getting more and more numerous.
From Veilstone City to the isolated island where the Sinnoh League is located, this distance is actually quite short, probably only about three nautical miles or so.
However, when they were about to arrive at the Sinnoh League.
The number of Pokémon beside Will had already reached a terrifying nearly a thousand.
There are two reasons contributing to this situation.
Seel, along with other Pokémon, were constantly calling for backup.
That's right.
It wasn't Will using the Sea Crown to attract Water-type Pokémon over.
But these children actively telling passing Pokémon:
The King of the Sea is over here.
Although Will's Sea Crown wasn't the direct factor attracting those Pokémon to come, it was the direct factor making these Pokémon stay.
For no other reason.
First time seeing one.
Take a few more looks, join the fun.
Will had already completely given up (laid flat) now.
Can't drive them away.
And hitting them is impolite.
Since these children have no malicious intent and don't plan to do bad things, then let them follow.
Just consider them as holding the line for them.
To let the Sinnoh League see that this young Champion they invited is no ordinary person.
"Lucario."
"Hm?"
"Will there be problems?"
Cynthia swept a glance at the surrounding Pokémon.
The meaning was very clear.
But although she said this.
Cynthia's expression didn't change much, not looking at all like she was worried about problems occurring.
This can also be considered one of the gains from Cynthia following Kaoru as an assistant—not showing emotions on her face.
Unless it's people who know Cynthia particularly well, like Will and Kaoru.
Otherwise, it's very difficult to see her true feelings from her expression.
"No, they are very well-behaved."
Will shook his head.
The King of the Sea still has some face (influence).
Although he couldn't drive them away.
Telling them not to arbitrarily launch attacks is still quite simple.
"I wasn't talking about them."
Cynthia raised her hand and rubbed Victini's little butt.
She looked up towards the isolated island getting closer and closer ahead.
It goes without saying.
"...Then I don't know."
Will fell silent for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed his head.
"I think it's better for us to stand up?"
Cynthia suddenly proposed.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid the Sinnoh League won't see us, think the Pokémon have gone berserk, and launch an attack over here."
"Makes sense, then let's stand up."
Will nodded.
Got up.
Standing on Lapras's back with his arms crossed, quietly looking forward.
Cynthia stood beside him, together with him.
Sinnoh League.
At this moment, the door to the conference hall was suddenly burst open.
The Sinnoh League Chairman, Bellamy Berlitz, who was holding a meeting, was startled, and jumped directly onto the table in fright:
"What happened?!"
He looked in panic at the sentry rushing in at the door.
He would panic.
Indeed because the sentry suddenly burst in.
But not scared by the sentry, but scared by what this situation symbolized.
Generally speaking.
League meetings are a quite serious matter; if there's nothing major, no one is allowed to disturb.
And once a League meeting is disturbed.
Then there's no doubt.
Some super incredible major event must have happened.
Big enough to the extent that the meeting must be immediately interrupted to turn around and handle the matter.
"Con... Contestant Cynthia, she's attacking!!!"
The sentry shouted breathlessly.
After receiving the message transmitted from the coastal sentry post in the communications room, he immediately sprinted over at the speed of a fifty-meter dash, almost using Quick Attack with a human body.
"What?! Cynthia?"
Bellamy's mind went blank, question marks appearing in his eyes.
He truly couldn't think of Cynthia's motive to attack the Sinnoh League.
Honestly speaking.
On this vast land of Sinnoh today.
He and several Elders of the Sinnoh League are most optimistic about Cynthia, this young star trainer.
Not to mention, her mother Kaoru is the League Chief who hasn't stepped down yet.
So regarding matters involving Cynthia, the Sinnoh League has always released goodwill as much as possible, never stingy where convenience could be provided, practically raising her as half a daughter.
With such goodwill.
Why would she attack them?
"Chairman! Now is not the time to talk about this! Cynthia is leading over a thousand Pokémon pressing towards the island border!"
The sentry, seeing Bellamy's dumbfounded and blank appearance, anxiously hurriedly shouted.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Bellamy smiled and waved his hand, believing in his and the Elders' judgment.
And also believing in Kaoru.
Not to mention whether they could win or not.
That child Cynthia couldn't possibly attack the Sinnoh League.
She, like her parents, deeply loves this land!
Besides.
A child, where would she go to gather over a thousand Pokémon?
Treating other people's Pokémon as worthless, huh?
"This, this, this..."
The sentry, seeing Bellamy like this, anxiously looked at the other several Elders.
"Hehehe, calm down, calm down, Little Bell, there's no harm in us going to the coastline to take a look. Just right, we can consider it welcoming our future Champion."
A white-haired old man stroked his beard and said unhurriedly.
He also believed in that child Cynthia.
But better go take a look anyway, show their faces, and stabilize the Sinnoh League staff.
