Chapter 319 Steel Citizen Paradise
I saw a short elderly man walking steadily towards me from the back of the crowd.
He was thin, with a slightly hunched back. Time had carved deep wrinkles on his face. His white hair was combed neatly back, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, revealing the wisdom and majesty that came from years of experience.
He is the current champion of the East China region, who is about to retire and is also the target that Zhang Leiyuan wants to take over - Cao Lao Champion.
With two soft "bang" sounds, two fairy-type Pokémon appeared beside Champion Cao.
One is an aromatic spirit with purple feathers on its head, small protruding horns dotted with yellow, feathers all over its abdomen, a black bow-shaped object on its back that is particularly eye-catching, and broad and powerful purple legs, which are emitting a soft breath at this moment.
The other one is a big-mouthed baby. Its yellow doll-like body is very cute, but its huge jaw formed by the deformation of steel horns reveals a deterrent power that cannot be underestimated.
Cao Lao Guanjun's old voice rang out: "Fragrant essence, misty venue."
In an instant, a soft and mysterious fairy energy surged out from the fragrant essence, like a soft mist, quickly spreading around.
Wherever the fog went, the originally violent dragon energy seemed to be cast under a spell of immobilization, and its surging momentum weakened instantly.
Misty Ground, a Fairy-type transformation skill, prevents Pokémon on the ground from falling into abnormal states. The damage of Dragon-type moves is also halved.
As the mist field gradually took shape, a dense mist filled the entire airport, carrying a faint fragrance. Everything within the field became hazy, as if covered by a layer of gauze.
Different from the dazzling golden light and violent electric flash of the electric field, the mist field is more like a gentle guardian, slowly suppressing the dragon energy in a silent way.
At the same time, it completely covered the electric field used by the electric dragon. With one fairy-type skill, it suppressed the momentum of the two dragon-type Pokémon and replaced the abnormally violent electric field.
It can be seen that the champion who is about to retire has combat skills that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, but age is always a disadvantage. As a top trainer, he can no longer carry out high-intensity combat after his reaction ability declines.
After doing all this, Cao Lao Guanjun suddenly turned around, his eyes wide open, and cursed at Liao Chunfeng, the leader: "Nonsense! In such an important international airport! You actually did something so damaging to the image of a great power! Do you still have any respect for rules and the overall situation?"
Liao Chunfeng's face turned red and white after being scolded, and his original smug look disappeared in an instant. He would not be foolish enough to challenge a legendary champion with many honors. He didn't even dare to look directly into the eyes of Mr. Cao.
Old Champion Cao turned to Zhang Leiyuan with a complicated look in his eyes, which showed his expectations for the younger generation and his helplessness in the face of the current situation.
"Lei Yuan, please collect the Pokémon first. It won't be good for anyone if we continue to make trouble like this." Although his voice was old, it carried an irresistible power.
Zhang Leiyuan looked at the respected legend in front of him. Although he had respect for him, he also had more doubts.
With Mr. Cao's ability, he could have easily stopped these security guards from blocking him. He even waited until they were about to break out of the encirclement before he came out to smooth things over. This behavior of not stopping either side is worth pondering.
He suppressed the urge. He took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and deactivated Charizard and Dragonite's Mega Evolutions, making a concession but not returning his ace Pokémon to their Poké Balls.
Cao Guanjun's face was filled with rage. He sternly berated the guards, especially Liao Chunfeng, practically pointing his finger at him and scolding him, "Do you know what you're doing? Although the Supreme Commander of East China hasn't officially taken office yet, Guanjun's authority is not something you can challenge casually!"
When the security team heard Cao Guanjun's reprimand, the hundreds of security personnel who had surrounded Zhang Leiyuan tightly all evacuated quickly.
Liao Chunfeng's face turned pale. He knew that today's matter would have to be left unresolved. Helplessly, he retreated with the security team.
After everyone left, Cao Guanjun turned to look at Zhang Leiyuan, and said in a softer tone, "Come on, Zhang family boy, follow me to the East China Guanjun office."
Perhaps Cao Guanjun didn't like flying and preferred the feeling of being down to earth, so neither of them used Pokémon to fly, but instead took a special car.
The East China Champion office is located in the most prosperous area of Shanghai, surrounded by tall buildings and heavy traffic.
This modern building has smooth lines and its glass curtain wall reflects dazzling light under the sunlight, blending in with the surrounding bustling street scene.
The interior of the office is spacious and bright, with a simple yet elegant decoration. A huge floor-to-ceiling window offers a panoramic view of the city scenery outside. In the distance, the Huangpu River is sparkling and ships are shuttling back and forth on the river.
The two sat down at an exquisite tea table, and a well-behaved Kirlia came over and brewed a pot of tea for them. The lingering aroma of tea instantly filled the air, and the tense atmosphere also eased a lot.
"Drink it, Lei Yuan, and tell me what you plan to do next." Cao Guanjun picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and asked.
Zhang Leiyuan took a sip of the tea in his cup, then slowly put it down and said calmly, "I don't have any thoughts. I was indeed the one who did the looting."
Cao Guanjun frowned slightly and said earnestly, "This matter... From the perspective of a major country, everything we do must have a legitimate reason."
Zhang Leiyuan said calmly, "This freighter was looted by the international pirates, the Water Blade. As an upright trainer, I seized this batch of supplies from the vicious Water Blade. Isn't this an act of justice worthy of promotion?"
When Cao Guanjun heard this, he was surprised at first, but then he thought about it carefully, and his eyes lit up. A smile of approval appeared on his face, and he nodded and said, "Oh? That's a solution. But aren't you afraid that Xiao Yinghua will come and ask for the supplies on the freighter?"
Zhang Leiyuan heard this and looked at Cao Guanjun with a look as if he was old and confused. Cao Guanjun felt a little uncomfortable under his stare and glared back at him.
"This is what I robbed from the Water Blade Group. What does it have to do with Xiao Yinghua? After all, this is a matter between me and the Water Blade Group. If I want to live a comfortable life, I should go to the Water Blade Group." Zhang Leiyuan said firmly.
"Good boy, you've cleared yourself completely." Cao Guanjun scolded with a smile, then asked, "What are you going to do about the online comments? You know, as the champion of China, maintaining a positive image is crucial."
"Mr. Cao, do you know what is on that freighter?" Zhang Leiyuan did not answer directly, but asked instead.
Cao Guanjun smiled, shook his head, and took a sip of tea.
Zhang Leiyuan sat up slightly and said solemnly, "It's a ship full of Steel-type Pokémon."
"It's a very good Pokémon," Cao Guanjun nodded gently, then changed the subject, "But Lei Yuan, no matter how rich your harvest is, if you don't get the recognition of the people, you won't be able to hold on to your position as champion."
Zhang Leiyuan's lips curled up slightly, and he said confidently, "Mr. Cao, do you know about the public park that our Zhang family donated in Shanghai some time ago? What if I told you it's a steel-type Pokémon theme park? What do you think?"
