Chapter 83 Yeci's Proposal

After seeing off the students who all had thoughtful looks on their faces, Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

I looked at the time and the get out of class ended just on time. Not having to work overtime is a victory!
Snap, snap, snap, snap.

Kukui was impressed. He clapped his hands and walked towards Luo Mu, saying with emotion: "Luo Mu, you really think about those students. You told them many truths in class in advance that they can only understand after they have stepped into the trap."

"It was a wonderful class. Even I benefited a lot from it."

Kukui's intuition told him that perhaps one day in the future, he would also come across a moment when he would use Luo Mu's teaching philosophy.

Luo Mu smiled and said, "Since I am paid, I naturally have to teach them some practical knowledge. I have to instill these experiences into them while they are still young."

Kukui nodded. "Come to think of it, Orange Academy also has one of the largest libraries in the world, right? Can I visit it, too?"

"of course can."

The voice came from behind Kukui and Luo Mu.

Kukui looked at the newcomer curiously, and Luo Mu's eyes twitched a few times.

Wow, is Ye Ci serious about this?

The visitor was none other than Ye Ci, the president of the Padiya Alliance, chief champion, and chairman of the Orange Academy, the human form of Crystal Flower.

Luo Mu scratched his head and complained: "President, are you so impatient?"

Ye Ci smiled calmly: "In order to recruit excellent trainers, even if I am busy with official duties, I will take time out to come for the development of Padiya."

Kukui looked at the two of them, somewhat confused: "Uh, Luo Mu, who is this beautiful lady?"

Without Luo Mu saying anything, Ye Ci put her right hand, which seemed to be wearing a glove 24 hours a day, on her chest and introduced herself: "Hello, Kukui from the Alola region. I am Ye Ci, the president and chief champion of the Padia Pokémon League, and the chairman of the board of directors of this Orange Academy."

"!!!"

Kukui's eyes widened. This title was very impressive. He turned his head to look at Luo Mu to get his confirmation.

Luo Mu nodded helplessly and said, "You can think that President Ye Ci is now the strongest and highest leader in the Padiya region."

Ye Ci covered his mouth and laughed, "Luo Mu, you don't have to flatter me so much. You have obviously passed the championship test that I supervised. In a six-on-six full-strength battle, you defeated the Four Heavenly Kings of Padiya and me, and won the title of champion trainer."

champion! !
Kukui's face was filled with even more shock. Although he had already vaguely sensed that Luo Mu was definitely no ordinary trainer, he did not expect that he would be the champion who surpassed those powerful Four Heavenly Kings.

Luo Mu complained quietly: "You obviously didn't even use your full strength."

Ye Ci had very good hearing, and even if Luo Mu complained in a low voice, she could hear it clearly. She looked innocent: "Haha, I'm always using my full strength, okay? After all, I won't make any compromises in Pokémon battles."

"Is this why you put the Crystal Flower at the end of the team?"

Kukui looked at Luo Mu, then at Ye Ci, and felt that rather than a superior-subordinate relationship, the two of them were more like ordinary friends who would bicker and quarrel but get along well with each other.

As expected, the people of Padia are as harmonious and friendly as those of Alola, and the leaders are kind and amiable.

After some pleasantries, Yeci, knowing that he had strayed off topic, coughed a few times and said to Kukui, "Let's get back to the point. I won't beat around the bush. Kukui-kun, I have a proposal and would like to ask your opinion. Can you listen to me?" Kukui showed the same calmness he showed under the spotlight of the Royal Dome, and nodded, "President Yeci, go ahead."

"I heard about your origins from Luo Mu. The Alola region, as I remember it, is a very beautiful and rich tropical region, right?"

The way Yesi narrowed his eyes looked as charming and dangerous as a crystal flower, and the young Kukui was stunned for a moment.

Luo Mu, who was very clear about Ye Ci's intentions, remained calm and complained in his heart: "She is just like a crystal flower trapping its prey. What a scary woman."

For some reason, Kukui felt a little nervous and nodded woodenly.

Seeing this, Yeci also stretched out his "petals" to the fullest, trapping Kukui: "As a trainer, have you ever thought about staying somewhere to further your studies?"

"For example, in the Padia region, there is a rich nature and powerful wild Pokémon. The strength of the trainers is guaranteed, just like Luo Mu beside you. Although it is not as talented as the Galar region where battles are the trend, I think Padia is more suitable for you to calm down compared to their high-pressure environment."

"In short, Kukui-kun, do you want to join the Padia League to make yourself stronger and let your talents as a trainer shine even brighter?"

At the end of his words, Yeci's tone was full of temptation, which even touched Kukui's mind as he recalled his defeat. He almost couldn't help but open his mouth and agree to Yeci's recruitment.

Luo Mu stood aside with his arms folded without saying a word. The choice was up to Kukui, and he had no intention of interfering.

After a long silence, just as Ye Ci showed a confident smile, Kukui said in a deep voice: "Thank you very much for your invitation, President Ye Ci. But please allow me to decline."

Ye Ci was stunned.

"For me now, I have more important ideals to achieve than being a trainer. I want to make my hometown better, spread the fun of Pokémon battles in the Alola region, and I also want to establish a Pokémon League that belongs only to Alola!"

"So I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation."

Kukui's eyes were full of determination and his voice was sonorous and powerful. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind.

Ye Ci was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "I am really not suitable for recruiting talents."

"Well, Kukui-kun, your sincere answer leaves me with no room for rebuttal. Your love for your region is no less than mine. Even if I were invited by another alliance, I would give the same answer as you."

"I sincerely hope that you can realize your dream."

After he finished speaking, a relieved smile appeared on Ye Ci's face, and he immediately planned to turn around and leave.

"Please wait a moment." Kukui suddenly reached out and called Yeci, hesitatingly saying, "Although it's a bit shameless for me to say these words now, President Yeci, can you have a Pokémon battle with me?"

"To be honest, after I failed in my challenge to the Four Heavenly Kings in the Kanto region, I traveled alone for a long time. Before returning to the Alola region, I wanted to verify what I had gained."

Ye Ci stopped and smiled, "It's a pity, because I came out in a hurry, I didn't bring any Pokémon that can be used for battle."

"I understand." Kukui lowered his head regretfully.

"But." Yeci stretched out his tone and looked at Luo Mu with a smile. Luo Mu felt a chill crawling up his back. "Although I can't fight, there is still a champion trainer who defeated me. Kukui-kun, why don't you have a Pokémon battle with Luo Mu and I will be the referee?"
