Chapter 501: Demeanor of a General
Bellamy rode his Magnezone flying rapidly towards the coastline border.
And only when truly standing here.
Did he understand.
Why the sentry looked so anxious and flustered.
Using over a thousand Pokémon to describe it could be considered a euphemism; this was simply thousands of Pokémon.
Moreover.
Seemingly because of the massive gathering of these Water-type Pokémon.
The sky began to fill with dark clouds, and a restless wind blew over the sea surface.
Perhaps it would start raining in a little while.
Just like the backdrop of the opening of a battle of the century.
"Cynthia, has this capability?"
Bellamy looked blankly at Cynthia and Will standing on Lapras's back.
But in an instant, he realized something was wrong.
Cynthia had never displayed any special abilities.
And related to Water-types...
"It's that Lucario of hers, right."
A Pokémon Professor standing next to Bellamy pushed his glasses.
"Hehe, that child probably has some little secrets on him."
The old man who had just persuaded Bellamy smiled.
"If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid it will no longer be any secret."
Bellamy frowned slightly.
Glanced in all directions.
There were truly too many eyewitnesses; it simply couldn't be hidden.
Then would someone covet this ability, and thereby secretly make a move against Cynthia's Lucario?
"No need to consider so much. Although Cynthia is very young, she is no longer a child, much less an ordinary trainer. She might even be stronger than us."
An old lady smilingly patted Bellamy's shoulder,
"Moreover, this matter also has benefits, for example, adding some legendary color to our young Champion, gaining more recognition from everyone, and at the same time making some bugs in the dark not dare to cause trouble anymore."
She could guess what Bellamy was thinking.
But the direction she considered was different.
"True."
Bellamy smiled in relief and nodded.
Re-examining the sea surface.
He found that the Water-type Pokémon gathering around Will and Cynthia were getting more and more numerous.
Those two children stood on Lapras's back with their arms crossed, letting the sea breeze blow and their lapels flutter, their figures not wavering in the slightest.
"The demeanor of a general... What do you say, how about letting this child take over my position as Chairman?"
Bellamy murmured, his eyes full of eager expectation.
"Hehehe, too early. You might be willing, but she might not be willing. Right now, it's exactly the time when children love to play."
The old lady smiled and shook her head.
"I see Cynthia and Lucario don't look like they are going to attack us either, why don't they come closer? I saw a Phione,
That's the child of the 'Prince of the Sea' Manaphy; I want to observe it closely."
A young Pokémon Professor scratched his head, showing a puzzled look.
His heart was itching terribly right now.
After all.
Not everyone can see legendary Pokémon every few days.
Although Phione isn't powerful, because it involves the Mythical Pokémon Manaphy and its own rarity, it can provisionally be considered to have a small legend in the Pokémon world.
Hearing these words, Bellamy.
He swept a glance left and right, and immediately understood what was going on.
The hundreds of sentries, guards, and sea rangers stationed on this coastline all looked as if facing a formidable enemy, placing their Pokémon beside them one after another, looking very much like 'if you dare approach, I dare start a war'.
How could those two children come over like this?
If those Water-type Pokémon are attacked and fall into a berserk state at that time, can Cynthia and Lucario control these Pokémon?
Don't let things really evolve to the point of leading an army to attack the Sinnoh League.
On the other side.
On the sea surface.
Will and Cynthia were truly helpless.
The reason was exactly as Bellamy thought; they didn't dare to approach rashly, lest the trainers on the coastline misunderstand and trigger a stress response.
But the longer they stayed on this sea surface.
The more Pokémon gathered over.
Another ten minutes.
Perhaps the Sinnoh League would be surrounded by tens of thousands of Water-type Pokémon.
"How about, Cynthia, you go over first and explain to Chairman Berlitz?"
Will turned his head to look at Blonde-kun beside him.
Have to say.
Cynthia, who has learned facial expression control, her face is like it has turned into an iceberg older sister (cool beauty) style.
Coupled with a quite mature voice.
At only 18, she gives people a feeling of being over 28.
As for the Chairman Berlitz Will mentioned.
It refers to the contemporary Chairman of the Sinnoh League, Bellamy.
Berlitz is his family surname.
The Berlitz family is a family that exists in the Pokémon Adventures manga version.
It is the wealthiest family in the Sinnoh region, whose members dabble in the widest range of fields, possessing a 200-year history.
The number of members in this family is not large.
But in any field related to Pokémon, you can find a big shot surnamed Berlitz.
In this world.
Berlitz is a great contributor who liberated the Sinnoh region two hundred years ago and founded the Sinnoh League.
Although the family's history is not long looking at the entire history of humanity, unable to compare with several ancient families in other regions.
But the Berlitz family still holds great prestige globally.
"Um, seems no need."
Cynthia raised her chin, signaling Will to look at the coastline.
Will turned his head.
And saw the trainers surrounded on the coastline dispersing like the tide, all heading towards their original posts.
"Phew... let's go over quickly. Lapras, Seel, you guys go home quickly too."
Will breathed a sigh of relief.
He scooped Cynthia up by the waist, leaped lightly from Lapras's back, and then stepped onto the sea surface.
This was Will using the power of the Sea Crown, using the water flow to support the soles of his feet.
"Wawuu~"
Seel swam over and hugged his thigh.
"Tch! You go home."
Will shook his thigh.
This sneaky little fatty actually wanted to follow him and Cynthia away.
What a joke.
If he took Seel away today.
Those other Water-type Pokémon would definitely follow up one after another.
Who could stand that?
Moreover.
Even if they followed him away.
Will has no way to accompany them frequently.
After all, he and Cynthia often have to go out running everywhere, exploring some ancient places.
Then it's better to continue living in this ocean with their family and partners.
"Wawuu~"
Seel immediately lay on the sea surface flopping around, like a child throwing a tantrum.
"How about..."
Cynthia's heart softened, her beautiful gray eyes looking at Will.
Obviously moved by compassion.
"No."
Will shook his head.
Taking this opportunity, holding Cynthia, he stepped on the sea surface and quickly headed towards the isolated island, leaving only one sentence:
"All of you go back, if you follow me again, I'll get angry."
The surrounding Water-type Pokémon looked at each other.
Turning their heads to look.
The figures of Will and the others were already close to the shore in the blink of an eye.
Can't catch up anymore.
And they can't go ashore either.
Only then did everyone reluctantly sink into the sea, each going back to their own homes and finding their own mothers.
Seel, seeing Will had already left, wiped away the little tear forcibly squeezed out on its face.
Fake crying.
Is a compulsory skill for every baby.
Seel pouted its mouth, stuck its tongue out in the direction Will left, and only then sank into the sea.
It would never pay attention to Will again.
Isolated island.
Bellamy looked at Will and Cynthia running over from the sea surface, invisible cold sweat flowing down his forehead.
Can even do it to this extent?
Can Pokémon run on the sea surface without sinking?
Of course they can.
As long as the speed is fast enough.
Take a 250 kg Blaziken for example; theoretically, the speed only needs to reach 40 meters per second and the stepping frequency reach 10 Hz to achieve 'light martial arts walking on water'.
A thing impossible for humans to do.
For Pokémon.
Although equally quite difficult, it's not impossible; for some Pokémon, the difficulty of achieving it is still very low.
Especially for Lucario who can learn the move Extreme Speed.
But Bellamy saw it.
Just now Will holding Cynthia stood on the sea surface for several seconds without moving.
That is to say.
Them not sinking has nothing to do with speed; it was achieved by relying on some other ability.
When Will and Cynthia went ashore.
Cynthia made a 'handing over' gesture to Will, and then bowed slightly to Bellamy:
"Chairman Berlitz."
"Mm! Cynthia, we are all very happy to see you. You really made quite a big commotion."
Bellamy looked at the excellent and beautiful big girl in front of him, smiling and nodding.
"Sorry about that."
"It's nothing. This little Lucario of yours, does he have some secret on him? Want to secretly tell me? So I can do some PR."
Bellamy narrowed his eyes and said softly.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this handling method.
Today's matter.
Is absolutely impossible to hide.
In that case.
Preparing rhetoric in advance, and even deliberately publicizing it, could become a good handling method.
During the Champion's inauguration period.
The Leagues of various regions absolutely must create some major events, to improve the recognition of the new Champion among the people of various regions and League members.
At the same time, it is also a deterrent to some bad guys in various regions.
Especially these young Champions, they might not gain much trust, and might not necessarily be feared by bad guys.
Some Pokémon Hunters, thieves, illegal traffickers, and other bad guys might show their heads, hurrying to grab a profit while the new Champion is still immature.
Therefore.
This kind of major event showing personal military force becomes particularly necessary.
Like publicly challenging the Elite Four, is actually one of the means.
It's also the Pokémon League's statement to various evil organizations:
Trainers that even the Elite Four can't defeat, can you defeat them? Better be honest.
After today's incident happens.
Cynthia will definitely possess more legendary color and prestige than young Champions in other regions.
Some people will also associate it with Will.
After all, Will's 'Water Absorb Ability' and the powerful force of his Water-type moves are no longer a secret, and have even become a kind of signboard.
If combined with today's matter.
Then perhaps it will gradually become a kind of "legend" among the people, such as the 'Darling of the Sea' or something similar.
Such a legend for the newly inaugurated Cynthia and the subsequent Sinnoh League.
The benefits definitely far outweigh the disadvantages.
The social environment of the entire Sinnoh region might become much better.
And Bellamy now only needs to consider how to do PR, to make this kind of legend even more mysterious.
At the same time, hiding Will's true secret as much as possible, guiding listeners not to think towards that secret.
