“Dragonspiral Tower!” Chen Kai exclaimed loudly, surprised.
“Oh, why are you making such a fuss?” Bai Yuchun covered her ears, scolding him.
“Inside… inside there’s…?”
Bai Yuchun nodded: “Yes, there’s a Dragon God inside.
But the Dragon God inside doesn’t pay attention to the Bai Family, hasn’t come out for hundreds of years, and doesn’t let anyone from the Bai Family go in.
Only the Bai Family keeps boasting that their family has a Dragon God.”
At this moment, Chen Kai’s maternal grandfather came over and said, “Hey! Xiao Chun, keep your voice down. Discussing the Dragon God, be careful, a divine lightning might strike!”
“Okay, okay, I know, Grandpa.” Bai Yuchun stopped discussing the Dragon God and turned to talk about other things with Chen Kai.
“Actually, the South Capital Secret Realm also has a Dragon God, a Dragon God who controls fire. The Long Family also often brags that their family has a Dragon God.
It’s just that that Dragon God doesn’t pay attention to them either, and they can’t even live inside the Secret Realm; they can only occasionally enter.”
Listening to Bai Yuchun and his maternal grandfather’s conversation, Chen Kai guessed that the one inside the Kyoto Secret Realm was Zekrom, and the one in the South Capital Secret Realm was Reshiram.
These two, ordinary people couldn’t move them, so it’s no wonder the Bai Family and Long Family couldn’t even enter Dragonspiral Tower.
Chen Kai curiously transmitted a message to Miraidon: “Do you feel anything?”
After all, Miraidon and Zekrom are both divine dragons that control lightning, and Chen Kai was worried about a conflict.
Miraidon transmitted back to him: “There should be a First-Class Legendary living inside. It feels similar to our patriarch, so it’s alright.”
Although Zekrom was still in Dragonspiral Tower, its Dragon Might still made Miraidon feel a bit flustered, as its power was completely lost now. But it was more concerned with its pride, so it still put on a brave front and said ‘it’s alright’.
Since Miraidon said ‘it’s alright’, Chen Kai didn’t think much more of it. He continued to move with the crowd.
During this time, Bai Yuchun quietly gossiped with Chen Kai.
Like how Bai Zhuo, one of the Bai Family’s Four Heavenly Kings, had tried to enter Dragonspiral Tower dozens of times, but each time he got lost at the entrance and just circled around.
The Long Family in the South Capital said they were sacrificing to the Dragon God, but they couldn’t even enter the Secret Realm, only able to sacrifice at the Secret Realm’s entrance.
It was just the two families often competing over who was the true orthodox Dragon-Wielding Family, both bragging that their family had a Dragon God, but in the end, neither family was acknowledged by the Dragon God. It was hilarious.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, in the area furthest from Dragonspiral Tower, Chen Kai saw a row of modern buildings, where the Bai Family Main House members usually lived.
As for why it was the furthest area?
Bai Yuchun told Chen Kai that the Bai Family simply didn’t dare to live near Dragonspiral Tower. She even added a cutting remark: the Bai Family was just like Ye Gong Hao Long (a person who claims to love dragons but is terrified of them).
Arriving at a spacious training ground, Chen Kai saw some people from the Bai Family Main House standing on a high platform. Behind them stood several Dragonite, which Chen Kai estimated was to display the Bai Family’s strength.
Then they invited several elders from the Long Family onto the stage. At the same time, Ye Gai and a few others were also invited onto the stage, all with exclusive seats.
While Chen Kai and the rest of the group could only stand on the training ground.
Chen Kai heard Bai Yuchun say: “Those are all Gym Leaders from Kyoto, all on good terms with the Bai Family.
One of them is the Fire-type Gym Leader, that man with a Volcarona beside him, he loves to show off.
And the other two are the Water-type and Electric-type Gym Leaders, plus our teacher, the Grass-type Gym Leader.”
These four types all have reduced damage against Dragon-types. Chen Kai wondered what the Bai Family was thinking and complained, “Why didn’t they invite Ice-type and Fairy-type Gym Leaders?”
Bai Yuchun gave him a side-eye: “What do you think?”
Chen Kai chuckled: “Our teacher’s status is still very high, he can go on stage as a guest, while we still have to stand here.”
“Of course! The 18 Gym Leaders in Kyoto are the strongest Gym Leaders in the entire country, only they can hold such positions!” Bai Yuchun put her hands on her hips: “Do you think it was easy for me to be accepted as a disciple? You should know, Teacher Ye might not accept even one disciple a year!
Sun Qian and I are ranked in the top hundred in all of Kyoto, plus we have good aptitude, that’s why Teacher Ye accepted us as disciples.
You actually benefited from me to be able to train at the Gym, right?”
“So that’s how it is!” Chen Kai was a bit surprised. He thought entering the Gym for training was similar to Liu Jianshan’s training classes. So they rarely accepted disciples! No wonder there were only three of them working in the Botanical Garden.
“Thank you, Chun Jie. I’ll treat you to a meal next time!”
Bai Yuchun raised her head: “Hmph! That’s more like it.”
On the high platform, an old man saw the Gym Leaders seated and settled, then tapped the microphone and began to speak:
“Friends from all walks of life,
Hello everyone!
In this beautiful season, bathed in sunshine and full of vitality, we joyfully welcome…
Pokemon battles are a contest of strength, a competition of wisdom, and even a display of beauty. All along, our Bai Family…”
Chen Kai couldn’t listen anymore and complained, “Why does it feel like a principal’s opening speech at a school sports day?”
“Isn’t it! The one speaking is the Bai Family Chieftain, he’s always like this, so much nonsense.” Bai Yuchun whispered in agreement.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Kai and Bai Yuchun were both drowsy, and Xiao Mei and Applin had fallen asleep directly. They had been following Chen Kai closely, but now they had all returned to their Poké Balls to sleep.
With a “Alright! Thank you, everyone.”
The crowd began to applaud, and Chen Kai sighed in relief, it was finally over.
The university group would compete in this venue. Chen Kai and Bai Yuchun’s high school group needed to go to Hall 2 and Hall 3 for their matches.
Chen Kai followed his maternal grandfather to Hall 3. The hall was full of parents with their children, each accompanied by a beginner-stage Pokemon.
Among them, a few stood in a rather arrogant posture, accompanied by Druddigon and a Blaziken.
Chen Kai knew without asking that they were either young masters or ladies from the Long Family or people from the Bai Family Main House.
Even so, Chen Kai still felt that the Pokemon present were mediocre, no match for Xiao Mei.
Not to mention whether these aggressive dragons would listen to those little brats, Xiao Mei’s firepower was already overflowing, completely unconcerned.
There was no lottery. Chen Kai saw on the big screen that he was scheduled to compete later.
So he and his maternal grandfather sat in the stands to watch the matches.
The matches were boring, perhaps even more boring than training with Liu Jianshan.
A girl’s Dratini used ‘Wrap’ on its opponent, but the opponent’s Gible broke ‘Wrap’ with a single bite.
During the training match, the Gible was instructed to use Sand Tomb, but it couldn’t use it at all inside the venue.
Finally, the Gible relied on ‘Tackle’ to knock out the Dratini.
“Chicken pecking at each other,” Chen Kai commented, then greeted his maternal grandfather and went to watch Chun Jie’s match.
Arriving at Hall 2, the battle was surprisingly between the evolved forms of those from Hall 3: Dragonair versus Gabite.
The Dragonair flew in mid-air, using Water Pulse on the right and Fire Spin on the left, looking incredibly cool and forcing the Gabite to retreat repeatedly.
Chen Kai immediately spotted Chun Jie, who was right near the battle platform.
Chen Kai tapped her shoulder: “Chun Jie, when is your match?”
Seeing it was Chen Kai, she said helplessly: “My next match is up.
It’s a headache! I’m going up against that genius from the Long Family.”
Chun Jie pointed to a man on the other side of the venue.
“His name is Long Zile. They say he has Dragon Power. I heard he simultaneously trained Charizard, Aerodactyl, Fraxure, and Shelgon.
MD, he’s simply not human.”
Chen Kai scratched his head: “Such bad luck?”
Chun Jie was already so angry she swore: “How is that possible? MD, it was arranged by the Main House. We didn’t draw lots at all. They want me to go first and test the strength of this Long Zile for the Main House people.
I told you, we don’t get any of the benefits, but we side branches get all the tough jobs.
Look at the Gabite on the field, it’s also from a Bai Family side branch.”
At this moment, the Gabite, only Elite Level (level 30+), actually unleashed a Sandstorm.
It successfully suppressed the opponent Dragonair’s dual water and fire attacks with the Sandstorm, and a ‘Stomping Tantrum’ knocked the Dragonair out of the air.
“I see his Gabite gaining an advantage,” Chen Kai said, somewhat confused by Chun Jie’s words.
Just as he finished speaking, the Dragonair’s trainer issued new instructions: “Good opportunity, Dragonair, use Ice Beam right in its face!”
The Gabite quickly tried to get away, but it was currently stepping on the Dragonair’s back, too close, and was still hit in the right leg.
Coincidentally, its right leg was frozen, and it fell to the ground.
“Now what do you see?” Chun Jie said somewhat helplessly.
Chen Kai scratched his head: “Uh, the Long Family’s Dragonair, it has too many moves.”
“Dragonair, keep using Icy Wind.” The Long Family’s trainer pressed the attack.
The Gabite, with its right foot frozen, endured Icy Wind for half a minute before fainting.
