Chapter 489 Shocked Mikoli!

My name is Houndoom.

But this is just the name of my race. In fact, I also have a name that belongs to me.

Little seven.

Because I am the seventh child born to my late mother, Dalubi, my name naturally has the number seven.

It doesn’t matter where the number comes from or why we know it.

The important thing is that I left home when I was young and joined the tribe I am in now. As a member of the tribe, under the leadership of the boss, we fought openly and secretly with the nearby Flame Queen Lizard tribe, and neither side gave in.

In the constant battles, I gained experience, honed my strength, and it was natural for me to complete my evolution.

After evolving into Houndoom, I became so powerful that I could defeat three Salamanders by myself. As expected, I was highly valued by the boss and became a small leader with a dozen younger brothers. It was so impressive.

With so many younger brothers, it is inevitable that we will talk about the past during our free time while basking in the sun.

Houndoom naturally didn't want to mention the un-domineering name of Xiaoqi. With a roll of his eyes, he gave himself a new name.

Sad Biao.

It sounds domineering at first glance.

Houndoom was very satisfied with the name he gave himself. He held his head high and accepted the worship of his younger brothers, and even walked with the wind.

But the good times didn’t last long. One sunny afternoon, it suffered its first Waterloo in its life.

They were simply trying to drive away the wild Pokémon that were approaching the edge of their territory, but they didn't expect to run into the giant Buddha of the Monarch Snake.

The wildly dancing tree roots, as majestic and solemn as a wooden dragon, could not be shaken in the slightest no matter how they spewed flames and drained all their energy.

Under the awe of the undoubted strength and majesty that far exceeded that of the leader.

It made a decision that went against its ancestors.

He joined the monarch snake and continued to stay in the tribe as a "spy", which led to a bold idea.
Can't I be the boss?

but.

Before Gou Jia Shewei becomes the boss, there is still a small problem facing Houndoom named Sang Biao.

It first glanced at the human in front of it, and then, its pair of "fierce" eyes looked around like a thief. After making sure that its little brother was not hiding nearby, Houndoom's eyes lit up, and it lowered its head and took a bite of the big meaty bone that it was salivating over.

With the constitution of Pokémon, it is no problem to eat some seasonings, so the large bone with meat that Luo Mu gave to Houndoom was not simply boiled or steamed, but -

Sauce good bones!
Looking at the Houndoom in front of him eating with relish and drooling on the ground without caring, you can tell how delicious this piece of braised bone must be.

Looking at the Heruga eating heartily with a kind face, Luo Mu took a quick look and realized that the Heruga in front of him should be the younger brother that Monarch Snake accepted at the beginning, the "senior" who betrayed him.

Perhaps his hands were itching, and his action was not processed by his brain. By the time Luo Mu reacted, his right hand was already on Houndoom's head.

Houndoom's appearance is similar to the imaginary hellhound, and its more realistic prototype is the Doberman Pinscher. In short, to people who are not familiar with it, it is not a "good guy".

Fortunately, Houndoom just paused in gnawing the bone, without even looking at Luo Mu, and continued to bite.

Luo Mu then began to rub the dog's head with confidence, and even touched the pair of large curved horns on its head. The touch was unexpectedly smooth and cool, somewhat similar to when he touched the horns of his mount goat.

"Mimi, oh no, puppy, how is the current situation?"

After satisfying his desire to use his hands, Luo Mu remembered his business, and after a series of "mistakes", he asked Houndoom.

In response to Luo Mu's calls, Houndoom just twitched his ears and didn't take it seriously at all.

As long as his younger brothers don’t hear him, Luo Mu can shout however he wants, as long as he is happy.

By the way, these bones are really delicious.

After chewing the bones clean, Houndoom reluctantly stood up and led the way for Luo Mu.

Because they were worried that the boss would notice, they decided to meet halfway up the mountain, near the crooked tree where they had besieged the young blacksmith.

As soon as he approached, Luo Mu was surprised to find that there was not only the Houndoom in front of him, but also another Houndoom and a small group of more than a dozen Dalupis.

There, there were about twenty Daluvies gathered, as well as the Houndoom that was defeated by the Eevee sisters.

He looked at Houndoom beside him in surprise. This method of inciting rebellion is quite efficient.

The entire Houndoom group is made up of about a hundred Dalupis and Houndooms, and one-fifth of them are here.

If this continues, I'm afraid even the leader of Houndoom will be exposed.

Luo Mu had no other purpose in looking for these Houndoom and Dalubi, except to ask about their wishes.

They have to choose one of the three: Luo Mu will help them find a new territory, or they can eat public food, but the training will definitely be very hard, or they can work on a farm, but this also requires Luo Mu to choose personally.

After all, they are going to rebel against the boss for their own sake, so he must make it clear how they are going to be treated.

Luo Mu did not ask them for the answer immediately, but gave them enough time to think and also gave the time node for the "coup".

Today is October 10th. We have to complete the coup within a week, that is, before October 12th, to seize control of the Houndoom tribe, and then defeat the Flame Queen Lizard tribe.

Compared to the new Daluvies who were shouting and yelling, the expressions of the two Houndooms did not change at all.

Having seen the power of the monarch snake, they had no doubt whether the plan would succeed.

In their view, even if they did not betray, they would not be able to defeat the monarch snake under the leadership of their leader, so there was no problem at all.

On the contrary, the Flame Queen tribe next door, although under the protection of the Monarch Serpent, has brought a very beautiful snake-shaped Pokémon here these days to prepare something.

But they are still not sure. If the Monarch Snakes do not take action, can they defeat the Flame Queen Lizard tribe with the strength of the existing Houndoom tribe?
After all, that was a group that had been fighting with them for who knows how long.

In response, Luo Mu just gave a mysterious smile and told them to just focus on the task at hand.

They have ways to solve the rest.

There is nothing special to mention next. Luo Mu set the deadline because he wanted to complete the expansion of the farm and plant the first batch of apple trees before the snow started in November, laying the foundation for the attack on Beishang Township.

Before disbanding, Luo Mu also distributed a "comfort gift" of a braised bone to each Dalupi and another Houndoom.

For wild Pokémon, besides the various resources that make them stronger, the most practical gift is food. At least these guys are so excited when they see the sauce bones.

Luo Mu stayed here for a while, then turned and left.

Returning to the young blacksmith's home, or the cave which can be considered his home in a sense, Luo Mu called Ergui Luo, who was having a great time playing with the young blacksmith, and prepared to go back to the farm.

Ye Ci contacted me last night and said that someone would come to visit me today, and he even came to me specifically to ask for the address of his farm.

And that person was none other than the Hoenn League champion, the Master of Coordination, Mikoli.

Luo Mu was a little confused. Why did Mikoli come to visit him out of the blue?
Or did he come here for Minas?
3pm.

In the living room where the furniture had been roughly arranged and several pots of green plants and flowers transplanted from the glass greenhouse were placed, Luo Mu received Mikoli in his new home.

In daily life, Mikoli doesn't wear his clothes that even expose his waist, which looks a little revealing. In this weather, people wonder if he will catch a cold.

Instead, he changed into a light-colored woolen coat that suited his taste, paired with a shirt and trousers, and finally the same white hat.

It has less artistic temperament and more life atmosphere.

"Tea, please."

As usual, Zhi Huixing took out the farm's specialty hot black tea to entertain the guests.

In the Hoenn region where there are no sprouting deer, Mikoli probably doesn't get to drink this kind of tea often, so it's perfect for entertaining.

"Thank you."

Mikoli thanked him politely, picked up the teacup, and elegantly savored the rich aroma that rose along with the hot steam, his face showing an intoxicated look. Then, he took another sip of the tea.

"The unusually strong aroma, rich taste and aftertaste, is it made from the black tea leaves from the antlers of deer heads that sprout in summer?"

"Yes, it's amazing that you can taste it directly through the aroma and flavor."

Luo Mu said with surprise.

"Hehe, the tea ceremony is also an art. My mentor Adam knows a thing or two about it, and I have also learned a lot from him."

Mikoli seemed to appreciate the compliment.

"I see." Luo Mu nodded gently and joked, "What a coincidence. We just put the furniture in our new home today and haven't even had time to add any home appliances yet. Mr. Mikri is the first guest to visit."

“No wonder I saw a three-story house with many signs of age on the other side.”

Mikoli showed an expression of sudden realization, stood up from his chair and saluted gracefully.

“It’s an honor to be the first to see such a beautiful house.”

Some people who engage in art often attach great importance to the sense of ritual, just like Mikoli in front of us. Sometimes their behavior may be exaggerated, but their starting point is always good.

Luo Mu knew this so well thanks to Kosa and Yasaku.

Mikoli sat down again, drank tea, carefully appreciated the exquisite pastries served by the Frosty Milk Fairy, and talked about Zhihuixing again.

"But the Pokémon just now looks like a very elegant butler, with impeccable etiquette and even the ability to communicate telepathically. Did you train it?"

"I hired it from the Pokémon Butler Academy in Kalos."

Luo Mu replied.

"Oh, so that's where it is?" Mikoli closed his palms as if reminiscing, revealing a charming smile, "It's a very famous academy. Even my mentor Mr. Adam hired a Gardevoir butler from there."

The two chatted about some ordinary topics that could deepen their understanding of each other until the tea grew cold and only the remnants of pastries were left in the exquisite dishes.

Half of the reason why he knew about Mikoli was because he saw the ice sculpture of Sky Dragon Rayquaza carved by himself and his friends on the live broadcast of the ice sculpture competition. Coupled with the Nine-Tails' eye-catching performance, he chose to inherit the league championship and seek cooperation with the Padia Alliance.

Luo Mu admitted that he was dumbfounded.

The league champions in the Hoenn region are replaced very casually, and Luo Mu is probably clear and aware of this.

It’s just that Mikoli’s behavior is clearly using public funds to support his own interests and hobbies!
Damn, so enviable.

After revealing his thoughts, Mikoli, as expected, stated his purpose without any concealment.

Ever since the Grape Campus Gorgeous Contest, he has been thinking about the evolved Milotic and Ninetales, and wanted to visit them and see them, and if possible, he wanted to get close to them.

Also, he wanted to see the ice sculpture of the sky dragon Rayquaza up close.

Yesterday, in addition to dealing with the follow-up matters of the Grape Academy Campus Gorgeous Competition, he also negotiated a lot of business cooperation with Ye Ci on behalf of the champions of the Hoenn Alliance.

The Hoenn region stands in the sea opposite the Padia region, as well as the Kalos region and the Galar region which are connected to some plates. Establishing cooperation is not only convenient for the Hoenn Alliance, but also can bring many benefits to the Padia Alliance, which was established only a dozen years ago.

After all, the Hoenn Alliance is almost one of the earliest alliances established. With the experience of its predecessors, the development of the Padia Alliance will be smoother.

Mikoli's idea was easy to satisfy. Whether it was because he unexpectedly got along well with him, or because he just wanted to contribute to the development of the Padia Alliance, Luo Mu did not have much resistance to this kind of thing which was just a piece of cake for him.

Mikoli wanted to see the ice sculpture of Rayquaza and meet Milotic and Ninetales, and all of these could be done.

Luo Mu took him to the ice cellar first.

Before going in, Luo Mu teased Mikoli that the clothes he wore today should at least be able to keep out the cold, otherwise he would be frozen to death after going into the ice cellar.

Open the heavy door of the ice cellar and walk up the stairs leading underground, which are filled with chilly air.

Soon, the ice cellar with a unique atmosphere came into view.

"This is."

Mikoli's eyes widened slightly. He had never expected that there was such a wide area underground that looked like a snowy field!

What surprised him even more was——

Not far ahead, Regiace, one of the three pillars of the glacier giant, whose entire body was made of indestructible ice, was sitting on a stone, fiddling with the beautiful frozen flowers in his hands, quietly appreciating their eternal beauty.

Mikoli's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Luo Mu beside him, his handsome face full of unconcealable surprise.

Isn't that the legendary giant, Regiace!?
