"Speaking of which, whose Pokémon is this little guy?"
"Pikachu~ Pikachu~?"
Watching Shu Ning, who had already put the girl down, and Snivy, who was now eating the Pokémon food prepared by Crimson, Crimson and Pikachu began to ponder the question of their master.
Who is this guy who owns one of the three starter Pokémon from the Unova region? Is he among the participants in the Indigo League?
And these thoughts had just begun to arise.
"Snivy, where are you?"
A girl's anxious voice rang out.
"Ivy snake?"
Immediately afterwards, a girl wearing black pantyhose walked out of the grass, and looked at the Snivy eating the fairy food, a look of joy on her pretty face.
The girl was wearing a pink and white hat, and her hair was in brown pigtails with two buns on either side of her head.
Wearing a blue and white sleeveless top with a pink and black Poké Ball pattern printed on the chest, she concealed her overly mature and eye-catching appearance, making her seem incredibly approachable.
She wore a light yellow short skirt, black tights, and sneakers on her feet.
Her attire, her mature figure that didn't match her age, and the familiar face of the young girl made Crimson recognize her.
The female protagonist of Pokémon Generation V, and the game Black and White 2!
Mei!
"Snivy!"
Mei, having finally found Snivy, immediately rushed towards it with joy and hugged it tightly in her arms.
"Teng~~Teng~~~"
The snake, suddenly suffocated, immediately began to struggle. I...I can't...breathe!!!
"Oh? I'm sorry, Tengteng Snake, I was just too happy."
Sensing the struggle of the Tengteng snake, Mei immediately released it. Looking at the Tengteng snake, which was panting heavily and looked like it had just escaped death, she said a word.
"Vine~vine~!"
"Hehe, I'm glad you're alright. Don't run around like that next time."
After spending a brief moment with the serpent, Mei turned her attention to Akane, stepped forward, clasped her hands together, bowed, and said:
"Thank you so much for helping Tengteng Snake!"
"It's okay. Just be more careful next time. Don't let your Pokémon get lost again, or it will be very dangerous."
Red shook her head slightly to indicate that nothing was wrong, and casually pointed out Mei's mistake.
"Hey~ hey~ let's get acquainted, my name is Mei...!"
Upon hearing this, Mei chuckled somewhat shyly, then stood up and reached out her hand to Akane, wanting to get to know him. But as soon as she looked up, she saw a pair of fiery red eyes.
With those crimson eyes, could this guy be...?
at the same time.
Two girls' voices came from either side.
"Aka, are you here?"
"Mei, why are you running so fast?"
.............................................
234. Azure and Translucent, Green Plum and a Fall from the Sky! (Please Subscribe to the Full List!)
"Aka, I've finally found you."
"Mei, you run too fast."
Two girls arrived at the stream from opposite sides, one on the left and one on the right. One wore a baseball cap with a pink Poké Ball pattern, and the other wore a white straw hat with a pink brim.
They are Azusa, Crimson's childhood friend, and Touko, whom she knew from the Unova region!
"..."
Chi Hong frowned as he glanced at the two women who had appeared; he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the premonition came true.
"Red? I never expected to run into you here!"
Upon arriving here, Touko immediately noticed Mei and the crimson figure beside her. This familiar face, so etched in her mind, instantly made her happy.
He immediately prepared to step forward and greet Crimson.
But then.
"Red, who are they? Did you know them before?"
Azure took the lead and came to Crimson's side, hugging Crimson's arm and looking at Touko and Mei with a meaningful gaze.
A sense of crisis!!!
In this scene, Touko and Mei triggered their special abilities almost simultaneously, although Mei didn't know why she was also triggered.
However, when the three women's gazes met, a strange atmosphere spread out from there.
947
Especially her azure gaze, that gaze that resembled that of an empress, brought an immense sense of oppression and stirred up an infinite sense of crisis.
This woman is no ordinary person!
Who exactly are these two guys?
Azure, Touko, and Mei (why me too?) stared at each other without flinching, and sparks could be faintly seen between them.
"..."
Seeing this, Crimson felt a headache coming on. She twitched her lips in exasperation, and was about to say something when Azure spoke first:
"Hello, my name is Azure. I came from Pallet Town with Crimson. We are childhood friends and girlfriends. May I ask who you are?"
Azure revealed her entire identity in one breath, a victor's smile on her face, looking confidently at Touko and Mei.
These two guys must be Aka, whom I met during my travels. It's normal that Aka's charm would attract the attention of some people.
However, we were childhood sweethearts, and I quickly became his girlfriend (it actually took many years). With such a start, how could I possibly lose?
How could a mere celestial being possibly compare to me!
"Childhood sweetheart?"
"girlfriend?"
Azure started off with a bombshell, revealing two identities that immediately changed the expressions of Mei and Touko. Mei, however, was relatively calm, as it was their first meeting.
But Touko is different.
As someone who has a strong liking for Crimson, Touko feels as if she has already lost from the start, and lost by a lot.
but...
"Hello, my name is Touko. I come from the Unova region. I met Akari while traveling in the Kanto region."
Touko took a deep breath, her eyes gradually hardening from their crushing defeat, and walked up to Azure, extending her hand and speaking.
"Oh? The Unova region? Traveling to the Kanto region? So you're also participating in the Quartz Conference."
When Azur Lane was caught off guard by Touko's initiative to shake hands, she raised an eyebrow and, in response, shook hands with her.
"Of course, I promised Akashi that I would become his strongest rival!"
Touko stared defiantly into the azure eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, her soft words carrying a firm resolve.
After all, as far as she knew, the success rate of childhood sweethearts was ridiculously low. How could a childhood sweetheart compare to someone who falls from the sky?
"The strongest rival?"
Upon hearing this, Azure raised an eyebrow slightly, but her sense of crisis did not diminish in the slightest. She looked at Touko and said:
(cdbg) "Aka's strength is extremely high. It will be very difficult to become his strongest rival."
"I know, but I won't give up."
"Then you'd better stay far away at the Quartz Conference."
"The same to you..."
Azure and Touko, their hands clasped tightly, their gazes meeting, sparks flying, a powerful aura emanating from between them.
However, during the confrontation between the two...
"..."
Red has put Pikachu back on his shoulder and is preparing to leave and return to the athletes' village to rest, since tomorrow is the end of the qualifiers and the official start of the main competition.
"Huh? Akane, thank you for helping Snivy."
After regaining her senses, Mei looked at Azure and Touko who were facing off and felt somewhat superfluous. Seeing Akane leave, she immediately picked up Snivy and chased after Akane.
"fine."
"Wow, is that Pikachu? It's so cute!"
"Pikachu..."
"..."
...
...
The next day, afternoon.
The Quartz Conference preliminary rounds officially concluded this morning.
A total of 256 contestants have been selected for the main competition.
Next up is the Quartz Conference preliminary round.
