Chapter 480 Daigo: The personnel for the meteorite crisis have been finalized just like that?!
Ah Jin opened the door anyway.
"Hehe, Brother Luo Chen, this is the first time we've met." A Jin rubbed his hands together, a smile plastered on his face, but his gaze was shifty, and he dared not meet Li Luo Chen's eyes.
Then, he glanced at Li Luochen's side.
Daigo was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, a smile playing on his lips.
On the other side, N stood quietly, looking at him with indifferent eyes.
Ajin's smile froze on his face.
Steven, the champion of the Hoenn region, and N from Team Plasma?
Why are these two here too?
Ah Jin swallowed hard, his gaze darting back and forth between the three faces, sweat already beading on his back.
I'm speechless. Is it really that serious?
All I did was steal two Pokémon eggs, is it really necessary to deploy such a large force?
Akin took a half step back, and Typhlosion and Togekiss poked their heads out from behind him, one on each side. Typhlosion spewed two puffs of sparks from its nostrils, while Togekiss spread its wings slightly, ready to attack at any moment.
"Um..." Ah Jin licked his lips, "Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence."
Li Luochen grinned, "Although it's not nice to say this, and the matter is pretty much over, I still want to ask you a question. What's the deal with my little saw-totoxin and baby Kiras? Why did they hatch and even have accents?"
"Well..."
Akin trembled, backing away step by step until his back was pressed against the wall, wishing he could disappear into a crack in it, before finally saying, "Do you think it's possible that they were born this way?"
When he said this, his eyes darted around and his voice was weak.
Honestly, he didn't know anything when he hatched them; he just adjusted their individual values to 6V.
As for why the hatchlings have an Eastern Huang accent...
Akin himself was also confused.
Typhlosion and Togekiss flanked him, but their positions had subtly shifted from "ready to fight" to "ready to run away at any moment."
Li Luochen reached out and patted A Jin on the shoulder, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy. "That's good. Don't do it again next time."
"yes!"
Ajin's shoulders stiffened, and he nodded repeatedly, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Brother Luo Chen, you're a guest, how about we have something to drink?" Ah Jin rubbed his hands together, his tone ingratiating, trying to change the subject.
"No need." Li Luochen pulled a long, thin package from his pocket and tossed it to A Jin. "It's just a small gift for you. I told you it was delivered by courier."
Ah Jin caught it in a flurry of activity, and when he looked down, his eyes widened in surprise.
This is what Li Luochen promised to give him before, a highly nourishing substance—a century-old root!
"Brother Luo Chen!" Ah Jin's voice trembled as he held the long strip in both hands as if it were a priceless treasure. "You are my elder brother! From now on, I will follow your lead!"
Typhlosion and Togekiss peeked out from behind Arkin, looked at the long strip, glanced at Arkin's excited expression, exchanged a look, and silently retreated.
"fine."
Li Luochen waved his hand, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Daigo and N followed behind him, and the three of them quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Ah Jin stood at the door, watching them leave, still clutching the long strip tightly in his hand, his face clearly showing the words "I made a profit".
This is a century-old rootstock!
Ajin stroked the long strip of packaging, his eyes shining like light bulbs.
Once you get back, soak it in water and drink it for a week, and I guarantee you'll be full of energy!
He was mentally calculating his next move, and he couldn't suppress the smile playing on his lips.
The Firestorm Beast glanced at him, its eyes filled with suspicion.
Pokkis stared expressionlessly at the long strip in Akin's hand, equally disbelieving.
Ajin ignored them, carefully stuffed the century-old rhizome into the innermost layer of his backpack, zipped it up, and patted it.
"Don't you understand?" Akin raised an eyebrow at the two Pokémon. "This is a good thing."
......
......
"By the way, Daigo-kun."
Li Luochen turned to Daigo and asked, "How's the Hoenn region doing lately?"
He recalled the meteorite event that shook the entire Hoenn region. Although he didn't know exactly when it would happen, he knew that hundreds of huge meteorites would indeed fall on the land of Hoenn in the future.
Daigo raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly surprised that Li Luochen would suddenly ask about this.
He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Things have been pretty peaceful lately. What's up?"
"It's nothing," Li Luochen shook his head. "I was just asking casually."
"But it's better to be safe than sorry," Daigo smiled. "Even though the meteorite crisis hasn't happened yet, we still need to try our best to gather strength."
"Your Hoenn region openly boasts four Champion-level fighters," Li Luochen said. "If each of you guards a corner, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Four?" Daigo paused for a moment, then realized something. "You mean Team Magma and Team Aqua, right?"
"I'd like to, but whether they're friend or foe is still unknown."
Li Luochen replied, "If it's a crisis concerning the survival of the region, even the greatest grudges should be set aside."
Daigo glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I hope so."
"What hope? It's certain," Li Luochen said firmly. "If you don't believe me, I'll just call them."
"You know the Red Flame Pine and the Water Paulownia?" Daigo paused in his steps.
"They're my uncles," Li Luochen said matter-of-factly.
Daigo:? ? ?
Daigo was dumbfounded.
The problem that had troubled him for so long—the two unstable factors, Team Magma and Team Aqua, who were like time bombs that could explode at any moment—was resolved so smoothly.
A phone call?
Seeing his stunned expression, Li Luochen took out his phone and waved it: "Should we call or not?"
Daigo took a deep breath.
"...Go ahead and hit him."
Li Luochen looked down and scrolled through his contacts, finding the nicknames "Uncle Crimson Flame Pine" and "Uncle Water Wutong," and tapped them on the screen.
Daigo watched as Li Luochen dialed the phone, his expression slowly shifting from shock to relief.
The phone rang only twice before it was answered.
"Hahaha! Nephew, what's up with calling your third uncle?" Shui Wutong's hearty laughter burst from the receiver, startling Li Luochen into holding the phone further away.
Li Luochen briefly explained the meteorite crisis and Daigo's situation.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Shui Wutong's voice rang out again, this time much more serious: "Just tell me what you need me to do."
Li Luochen glanced at Daigo, who nodded in return. "Okay, I'll contact you then."
Li Luochen hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.
"There's one more." He looked down and pulled out another number, then dialed it.
This time, the response was quick as well. Crimson Pine's voice wasn't as flamboyant as Water Wutong's, and its tone was equally brief: "What is it?"
Li Luochen repeated it again.
Crimson Pine was silent for a few seconds: "Understood."
It's over.
Li Luochen put away his phone and looked at Daigo: "It's done."
Daigo leaned against the wall, arms crossed, looking at him. His lips moved, but he only managed to utter two words: "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Li Luochen waved his hand.
