Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 154 Cousin Higana!

My name is Higanbana, and I've infiltrated the Marines as a lowly soldier to do something big.

But just today, I ran into someone who had connections.

This person with connections is staring at me right now...

Does this mean I'm about to encounter unspoken rules?!

but.

Why do I feel a sense of closeness to the young man in front of me?

That's very strange.

Many images of unspoken rules flashed through Xijiana's mind, and her face flushed crimson.

That kind of thing!

But when she looked at Li Luochen again, she found that he was staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.

It's as if I can read her mind.

At this moment.

Li Luochen crossed his arms and sized up the "Ocean Team soldier" in front of him.

Champion-level skills, possessing bloodline related to the "Dragon," and still working undercover for the Oceans...

Isn't this just Xijia Na?

One glance at the thimble revealed them to be from the Meteorite Clan.

But to make sure that his guess was correct.

Li Luochen chose to have the system open an account for her.

Name: Xijiana

Gender: Female

[Place of Origin: Toyo-e]

[Item carried: Super anklet...]

[Pokémon in hand: Salamence...]

[Note: Higanbana of the Meteor Dwellers is a Champion-level Pokémon, specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon battles.]

[Are they relatives? Yes]

[Relationship with the host: Distant cousins]

Wow, she's a distant cousin?

After reading the information from the system, Li Luochen's expression towards Xijiana changed slightly.

Are we going to visit relatives?

I definitely have to go.

What, you think you can lay a hand on his cousin?

We're all people with "dragon" blood, what else can we do if we don't acknowledge our kinship?

Thinking of this, Li Luochen straightened his collar and walked towards Xijiana.

Higana panicked.

At this moment, she was afraid that Li Luochen would use even a little bit of his power to touch her inappropriately, or even take her to a small room and do whatever he wanted to her...

"What are you thinking about, cousin?"

"ha?"

Li Luochen's opening remarks left Xijiana speechless.

Cousin...cousin?

Xijiana looked at Li Luochen in front of her.

He picked up his phone, seemingly chatting with someone.

This puzzled Hijana. Could it be that he was chatting with someone on his phone?

"You're a member of the Meteor Clan, aren't you?"

Li Luochen put his phone in his pocket, stood next to Xijiana, and while pretending to admire the scenery, he revealed Xijiana's identity in one sentence.

Higanbana's expression changed drastically, and she even gripped the Salamence's Poké Ball tightly, poised to attack: "You...who are you? How do you know my identity?"

Most of the crew had gone into the cabins, leaving only two people on the deck.

But Higana dared not make any move.

"Don't worry, by seniority, I'm your cousin. And don't think I'm making excuses; I'm sure you felt that closeness just now, right?"

In a sense, the Meteor People are another tribe of the Dragon Tamer outside of the main tribe.

Tracing back to the source, they might have the same ancestor.

Moreover, aside from competing with each other, Dragon-type trainers are generally quite friendly.

Xijiana was afraid that her identity would be exposed, so she did not dare to acknowledge Li Luochen for the time being.

Now that Li Luochen had pointed it out, she nodded slightly: "Indeed, there is a kind of blood-related intimacy between us. Besides my sister... you are the second peer with whom I feel such closeness."

Higana asked herself honestly, and she definitely wanted more trustworthy relatives.

As for the identity that Li Luochen mentioned?

If it were anyone else, Higana would have pretended to be stupid and left long ago.

But the connection of blood does not lie.

The grand plan he wanted to undertake could not be accomplished by one person alone.

If Li Luochen were to help, things would be much easier.

Xijiana subconsciously wanted Li Luochen to help her, but since they had only known each other for less than half a day, she was still too embarrassed to ask.

Seeing this, Li Luochen simply handed over a business card: "Contact me if you need anything."

The business card contained Li Luochen's private contact information.

That's all.

"Although I don't know what you're planning to do here, I'm sure with your strength you know what's about to happen in the Hoenn region. I hope you don't do anything foolish."

Seeing that Xijiana kept her head down and didn't talk to him for the rest of the time, Li Luochen felt bored and prepared to leave.

"etc."

Xijiana called out to Li Luochen and whispered, "I've heard about both the Hoenn Alliance and those two's methods. The methods they're talking about are all just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Oh?"

Li Luochen smiled and returned to Xijiana's side, asking, "So, it seems your method is the one that addresses the root cause?"

"I cannot guarantee that, but that is the prophecy of the Meteor People. As the inheritor, I will naturally heed the prophecy and do my best."

When talking about prophecy, Higana's eyes lit up.

"So, how's your preparation going? Even that unreliable organization you mentioned has started preparing to handle the crisis. You haven't done anything yet, have you?"

Higana's eyes suddenly dimmed.

She remained in this ambush for three months.

As a result, there was no progress at all.

I feel ashamed after being talked to by Li Luochen today.

A champion-level trainer spent three months doing menial tasks on someone else's ship, and still couldn't get promoted, remaining a marginal figure...

Li Luochen had a bit of a history with Bengbu, but he only patted Xijiana's shoulder lightly and said, "I'm leaving first. Think it over carefully. Don't make a big mistake by doing this."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his head and left.

Until his figure disappeared completely.

Higana touched her chest with lingering fear; the invisible pressure that had been weighing on her heart finally dissipated.

There were some things she wanted to answer when she was chatting with Li Luochen just now.

But a strange sense of unease made her feel like a child who had done something wrong, unable to face Li Luochen directly.

Li Luochen's strength was clearly much lower than his own, only at the level of a weak sect leader.

But she is a champion-level trainer.

There's a difference of two whole levels between them!

In this situation, I was actually being "suppressed by bloodline"?!

To think that someone with such a pure Eastern Huang face could possess such pure dragon-controlling power is truly eye-opening.

"Spreading the layers... led to a huge mistake? What is my cousin trying to tell me?"

Xijiana pondered Li Luochen's advice, her brows furrowing as she felt that his words contained some profound truth.

However, she couldn't figure it out herself.

Li Luochen, on the other hand, was savoring the information he had received from Shui Wutong, Chiyansong, and Xijiana.

Currently, it can be divided into three organizations.

Hoenn League, Team Aqua & Team Magma, Meteor Dwellers.

The Hoenn League is based on technology and relies on trainers. They decided to use rockets to shatter the meteorite, and then have the other trainers clean up the broken pieces.

Team Aqua and Team Magma decide to summon Kyogre and Groudon to use the power of nature to pulverize the meteor, demonstrating their divine might.

The Meteor Dwellers, also known as Higana, are, as Li Luochen believes, related to Liekongzuo, if he is not mistaken.

That is, to have Rayquaza shatter the meteorite as it falls.

All three parties have valid points, but when they clash, friction is inevitable...
