Chapter 1145: The Man-Eating Dragon
Huckleberry looked into Kashiwagi's eyes.
"Your technique... have you ever been to Kanto?"
Kanto!
When this was said, Kashiwagi immediately thought of [Gambler]. He shook his head and said, "No, I learned it from an old man."
"elder……"
Lingonberry raised his eyebrows, "Can you contact him now?"
Kashiwagi asked back, "What's wrong? What's so special about this poker playing method?"
He acted like a layman.
"...Didn't the old man tell you when he was teaching you? This isn't a trick, it's a sleight of hand!"
Lingonberry chuckled.
Wanlong overheard the conversation between the two, and instead of feeling repulsive towards Baimu, her eyes lit up slightly.
"What a great champion! Cheating! I remember it was set in the novel God of Gamblers! Does it actually exist?"
"Hey, hey... Miss Wanlong, you are treating me differently!"
Lingonberry turned to look at her helplessly.
Cheating originated from gambling, but Wanlong, who was extremely disgusted with it just now, now admires Baimu.
It's obvious that both of them have cheating skills!
Wanlong glanced at him and asked, "Can it be the same?"
Since I want to write a biography of Kashiwagi, I must have some understanding of the Ouray area.
No one else knows what Ori was like in the past, so how could the Four Heavenly Kings not be able to find relevant information?
Now that the region has developed to this point, Kashiwagi, as the soul figure, can be said to be of vital importance. It is normal to treat him with any tolerance.
On the other hand, Lingonberry's downfall was due to his family's decline in wealth. It was understandable that he was young and ignorant.
But Adek has already led Lingonberry onto the right track and made him one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Unova. It is a bit unreasonable that he still can't quit gambling under such circumstances!
He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings!
"Ugh……"
A helpless smile appeared on Lingonberry's pale face.
He didn't ask Kashiwagi any further, as if he had just mentioned it casually.
And Kashiwagi also did not ask Lingju whether he knew an old man from Kanto. The answer to this question was already known from the moment he asked the first question.
The only puzzling question is what lingonberries have to do with old people.
grandson?
Not too possible.
The origins of the Four Heavenly Kings are quite transparent on the Internet. You should know that Bilberry is from a noble family and is actually a descendant of a famous family.
But there is a new illustration of him wearing a Kanto yukata in Sun and Moon...
Baimu turned his head to look at Lingju, and Lingju turned back to look at him. The two of them smiled at each other calmly and nodded to each other.
Wanlong saw it all, and the novelist's imagination was blown away!
'Could these two be distant relatives?'
'The hair color is just right!'
"No, Kashiwagi is a descendant of a Hoenn dragon trainer..."
"Is Lingonberry also a descendant of a dragon trainer? No wonder he came to Dragon Country on his own initiative!"
She almost imagined the ancestors of the two people.
Although there were many loopholes in it, it did not prevent her from finding inspiration from it and she smiled happily.
"Hehehe~"
"Sore throat..."
The three-headed evil dragon silently moved away from this strange woman.
After this joke, Wanlong stopped denouncing Lingju, which made the latter feel relieved.
They didn't go to look for Alice and Acorus, but went to their place of stay first—
There are no hotels in Dragon Country.
The celebration was only opened to the public in the past two years, so the three of them stayed in a B&B.
"The conditions are rather simple, please don't be disgusted."
The speaker was in charge of Dragon Country's external affairs and was quite familiar with Shaka, so he took charge of the Four Heavenly Kings' tour of Dragon Country.
Kashiwagi's arrival was an unexpected surprise.
As descendants of dragon tamers, although they live in different lands, they can't help but feel a sense of identity because of their identities.
Not to mention the existence of the two bridges, the three-headed evil dragon and Awu.
Several people thanked him and walked into their rooms.
The bed was naturally not spacious enough, only wide enough for one and a half people to sleep, causing Gengar and Happiny to be forced to sit on the side of the bed.
The fat guy takes up too much space.
"I'll bear with you for a moment."
Kashiwagi touched the round face of Happy Egg, whose warm smile made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
The higher the grade, the more prominent its temperament.
The eggs cultivated here also have extraordinary nutrition, so Shan Min often comes to ask for them with a thick face.
There's probably only one level 70+ Happiny in the world, right?
Knock knock~
A crisp knock on the door sounded.
Lingonberry stood by the door with his arms folded and said with a smile, "Can we chat?"
"Okay."
Kashiwagi responded, Gengar rolled his eyes slightly, and followed quietly.
-
The afternoon sun is bright.
The fat gray man with a white face was thinking nervously.
"哓GA..."
"Do you want it? Don't let me play a card~"
"Hey!"
"Four aces! Straight! Escaped!"
Huckleberry spread out his empty hands and laughed triumphantly.
Gengar blankly showed the Ace of the card he was holding, "Geng ga?"
You have four sharp...
Then what is this of mine?
"Ahem, ahem, someone may have mixed in another deck of cards." Lingonberry stuck the note on its face without changing his expression.
Geng Gui just felt that this scene was familiar.
"哓GA!"
It grabbed Lingonberry's hand and pulled out a stack of cards from his sleeve at a speed that he couldn't react to. "Geng Ga--"
You—cheap—!
A strong resentment gradually emerged from its body.
"Huh? Who stuffed another deck of cards into my sleeve?" Lingonberry was also shameless and lied without blushing or beating his heart.
Kashiwagi, who had received the fruit from Acorus, came in and laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
"叏Ga~"
Gengar looked at his trainer resentfully.
When a Pokémon is bullied by others, not only do they not help it get revenge, but they even laugh at it!
Kashiwagi said, "I told you I couldn't beat him, but you still want to take the cards."
Gengar volunteered to fight against Huckleberry. Originally, the two human con men were fighting each other.
"Gah!"
Gengar's cheeks puffed up in anger.
You can say it doesn't play well, but how can you say it can't be played! ?
snort!
My self-esteem is hurt! I won’t play anymore!
The broken Gengar tore off the white strip, lay on the ground and rolled away, which made Yueju smile.
He said, "What a lovely fellow. How did you breed him?"
"It's his talent. He's a well-known game anchor. He can play a game that doesn't have to live, but he can play a game that doesn't have to live."
Kashiwagi sat cross-legged and gathered the cards.
Lingonberry was stunned for a moment, "What a weird phrase, is it popular now?"
"Just say it casually."
Bai Mu said calmly, "So your cheating skills were taught to you by your former housekeeper uncle?"
"To be precise, I learned it from my distant cousin. Although my family is a noble family of Unova, our bloodline originated from Kanto. And my cousin looks very much like my grandfather."
Yueju said frankly: "Back then, my grandfather met his uncle and nephew who had fled to Feiyun City, and he took the initiative to recognize them as his relatives and accepted them.
"Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away a few years later, and my family gradually declined..."
After Lingju's grandfather passed away, his father was framed by some people and sold off all the property step by step. In the end, even his grandfather's belongings were sold off.
The gambler couldn't stand it anymore, so he cheated on his own initiative and won back the relic.
Who would have thought that this technique was secretly learned by the bystander Lingonberry, leading him to embark on the same path as his father.
Fortunately, Adek rescued him in time.
As for why the gambler didn't make a move -
"Two years after I won back my grandfather's belongings, my uncle the housekeeper passed away." Lingju's expression was a little melancholy.
It was obvious that he had a deep bond with the gambler.
Baimu began to assign things, saying, "So your family's property is now managed by your cousin?"
"Yes, I seldom go back home. Someone has to take care of the ancestral property I won, right?"
Huckleberry picked up his cards, "Ace speaks."
The two of them were playing "Solid Poker", not gambling, just posting notes.
Lingonberry's experience is legendary. His father squandered all the family property and sold it together with the ancestral property, causing the family to fall into poverty.
After the gambler passed away, Bilberry inherited his cheating skills and turned around to take revenge on those who had set up a trap for his father, and gradually won back the ancestral property.
When both parties were about to leave the gambling table and start a real fight, Adek arrived with the United Alliance.
A hunk descends from the sky to save the lost boy!
It’s just that Lingju is too addicted and hasn’t been able to quit gambling completely. He feels itchy if he doesn’t gamble for a day.
The best he could do was not to gamble.
I also felt that it would become boring sooner or later if I continued like this, so I quit gambling.
After all, the purpose of gambling is to enjoy the thrill of getting rich overnight!
"For me, Pokémon battles are also a form of gambling. I will also participate in this celebration, and I bet on myself to win!"
Bilberry shows a spade 10, which matches the already opened spade JQKA to form a royal flush.
Kashiwagi smiled and threw away his cards in surrender, "Then I'll wait and see."
His tricks are good enough to bully Gengar, but they can't deal with a professional gambler like Lingberry. His talent is not exaggerated.
The fact that Gengar was able to discover that Lingberry was cheating was also because he took the initiative to expose his flaws.
After all, when two people are playing cards, stealing cards from the second deck has nothing to do with cheating or not. It is simply treating the opponent or yourself as a fool.
Lingonberry said: "I'm done talking, let me talk about you, your technique is exactly the same as my uncle's."
"It's not that exaggerated. I actually learned it from an old man, whom I don't even know."
"You don't know him, but he taught you the art of deception?"
“I learned it secretly.”
"..."
Lingonberry's face was full of an expression as if he was being played by a monkey.
Kashiwagi said righteously: "Do you think I need to lie? It's not something worth keeping secret. If that's the case, I won't do it in front of you."
"……makes sense."
Lingonberry smiled.
It was Kashiwagi who saw his technique first and made a special comparison before he discovered it.
So who could the old man be?
My uncle's friend? My uncle's relative?
Lingonberry didn't think too much about it, he just felt that compared to Alice, the new champion, the interesting Kashiwagi was more to his liking.
-
night.
Wu finally returned to the Dragon Country.
He also brought a guest, a guest that Kashiwagi felt was familiar.
"Shijiana?"
"Long time no see, Kashiwagi!"
The wheat-colored girl smiled brightly and raised her right arm to touch him lightly. "Everyone misses you, and so do the cursed dolls. When will you go back?"
"We'll go after the Dragon Village Festival is over."
Kashiwagi gave a specific time, and then suddenly realized, "The cursed doll misses me?"
Xi Jiana said: "Is it strange? You are Long He's 'grandson'! It's normal for it to miss you!"
Long He's grandson...
Kashiwagi was ashamed. Shijiana knew his situation and was teasing him here!
"Hahaha! I'm not teasing you anymore! You've been the champion for so long and you never came back to the village to take a look!"
Shijiana laughed, her scarf-like cape swinging up and down.
This time, she was invited by Granny Long to communicate with the dragon tamer tribe far away in Unova as the next elder of Meteor Village.
Nowadays, dragon tamers from all over the world have lifted their isolation and started communicating with the outside world.
The celebration of Dragon Country is all about experimentation.
Meteor Village plans to learn from the Dragon Country's celebrations, and also wants to establish friendly coexistence with dragon tamers from other places.
"There should be a large team in this case, right? Why are you the only one here?"
Kashiwagi said curiously.
Xi Jiana smiled and said, "Because I was originally in Unova. Have you ever heard of the legend of the man-eating dragon?"
Kashiwagi: "The legend of the man-eating dragon... Kyurem?"
"You really know it?"
Shijiana was extremely surprised.
She searched for a long time in the United States before she found this name hidden in history.
"I heard something."
Kashiwagi thought that the person he had really seen was in the village.
Xijiana said excitedly: "What other information do you know? Tell us more! I want to subdue it!"
"Subdue?"
Kashiwagi looked her up and down.
Xi Jiana immediately said in dissatisfaction: "What are you looking at? Although I am indeed not as strong as you, there is no problem in trying, right?"
"No problem, my bad."
He raised his hands in surrender.
The people in the Pokémon world don't have the information he has, so naturally they don't know how terrifying Kyurem is.
Of course, even if they know, there is a high probability that they will take action.
After all, challenging powerful wild Pokémon is an integral part of the adventure, and in the animation, few trainers would retreat when seeing a legendary Pokémon.
Which one is not a brave throw?
It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, just fight first!
However, he could only tell us what he knew about Kyurem, and where exactly he was...
I really don’t know.
Many of the cities in the animation's theatrical versions are original, and some don't even mention the city names.
Kashiwagi only knew that the Kyurem in the movie was located in an abandoned mine.
However, the mere fact of its abilities is enough to make Xijiana excited.
"As expected, he is the man who has captured the most legendary Pokémon!"
She laughed and patted Kashiwagi's back.
Kashiwagi said: "Good luck. If anything happens, remember to call me and I will come to rescue you."
"Tsk! Crow's mouth!"
Xijiana didn't think she would be in any danger at all.
The next day.
The celebration officially opened.
The Dragon Country Battle Tournament has officially started.
A large group of people from Meteor Village arrived. They were all the younger generation of Meteor people. They came up to hug Kashiwagi with great enthusiasm.
"You are becoming more and more generous!"
Zhenya, whose face was still rough, looked at him carefully and commented, "Is this the power that regional champions bring to people?"
He looked at himself, "Mana? Do you have it?"
"Uh-huh!"
The chubby Peng Peng nodded and said, "Your expression before was like someone owed you money. Most people wouldn't dare to approach you unless you asked!"
"It's not as exaggerated as Peng Peng said! Don't take it seriously!"
Lian Zuo waved his hands hurriedly. With his long bangs, he had a pair of eyes like a fox thief.
Kashiwagi said cheerfully, "Compared to me, you three haven't changed at all."
It is always pleasant to reminisce with others.
I had naturally signed up for the Dragon Country Battle Tournament, but surprisingly, there were two requirements for participating Pokémon:
Pokémon that grew up in the land of dragons, or Pokémon that have dragon-type moves.
Acorus said: "The battle tournament is more relaxed than the battle for the Dragon King."
Only dragons from the Dragon Land can participate in the battle for the Dragon King.
