Chapter 162 Ruby's Dark History Added
With that solemn gaze, strong arms crossed over his chest, and eyes fixed on him from above, wasn't that his father, Yi Qianli?
How did we get here so quickly?!
"you.."
Ruby was horrified.
But it didn't move slowly; it moved its feet, trying to get its body off the ground as quickly as possible.
but..
"Don't cause me any more trouble!" Qianli said, taking a few steps forward and grabbing Ruby's collar with one hand, lifting him into the air. Meeting Ruby's stubborn gaze, she said, "Just give up."
Ruby struggled, saying, "I won't give up!"
But no matter how much he struggled, as a child who hadn't yet received his starter Pokémon, he was completely unable to break free from the body of someone of Senri's caliber.
Qianli said coldly, "Do you know how worried your mother was about you after you snuck out? Don't cause me any more trouble!"
"I know Mom is worried about me.::" Ruby paused for a moment.
But soon his face hardened again.
"But what about you?!"
"The phrase 'Don't cause me any more trouble' is probably the truest reflection of how you treat me as your son!"
Qianli said, "You are indeed causing me trouble."
"Let me go!" Ruby struggled angrily, her eyes blazing with fury. "You think I'm causing trouble? Then why bother with me! Just let me fend for myself in this Hoenn region!"
Qianli said, "I am your father."
"You're no father!" Ruby was furious upon hearing this. "No, no... a father like you!"
"Ever since you failed your dojo master exam, you... you count how many times you've gone home in a year!"
"Mom looks forward to you coming home every day."
But each time, all I found was an empty door!
Qianli paused for a moment, then said, "This is my fault, but it's not an excuse for you to run away."
Ruby's expression froze, but he struggled even more violently, roaring:
"You actually think this is my excuse to run away?!"
"You don't understand me at all!"
"Battle! I want to battle you!" he roared, struggling with his arms and legs, but Qianli's arms remained motionless. "You battle maniac, don't you love battling? Then I'll battle you, a battle between trainers!"
Ruby's resolve was unwavering, his eyes fixed angrily on Qianli.
He wanted to defeat his stubborn father with his own hands!
He wanted to let his father, who didn't understand him, know why he wanted to "smuggle" himself to Hoenn!
but.
"You are not a trainer now," Qianli said coldly, shaking her head. "You are not qualified to fight me. No matter what you say today..."
You all have to go home obediently.
"I, I am a trainer!" Ruby declared stubbornly. "I'm not going back!"
"You must go back," Qianli repeated.
"I won't go back!" Ruby repeated.
The atmosphere was slightly tense.
"Okay." Qianli suddenly nodded.
The grip on Ruby's collar seemed to loosen, as if they were about to give up on taking Ruby back.
This made Ruby both relieved and sad.
Can be done immediately -
Qianli released one hand, but suddenly wrapped the other around Ruby's body, turning him over so that his buttocks were facing up. The other hand, which had been grabbing Ruby's collar, was raised and slapped hard on his buttocks!
There was a crisp "snap" sound.
Caught off guard, Lu Bi's eyes widened, and he struggled even more violently.
The more he struggled, the crisper the "smack" sound became!
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"
Ruby's voice was initially angry.
But the further he went on, the weaker and more ashamed his voice became, and the more desperate his expression grew.
Because he discovered that no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape from Qianli's grasp and could only passively endure these crisp, sudden sounds!
and.
This spanking is so embarrassing!
He was beaten by the person he "hated" the most!
far away.
Ze Shu, along with Xiao Lan, Xi Jiana, and... Shafia, silently watched this "filial piety" family battle unfold.
It was supposed to be a family war, but it was actually Ruby who was getting beaten up all by himself.
"Such a big kid, and he still gets spanked..." Higana exclaimed, "Wow! In Meteor Village, even three-year-olds don't want to be spanked. Kids who get spanked are laughed at."
"But didn't this father fail the academy's entrance exam? How come he hasn't returned home for years? Could he be training outside?"
Ze Shu glanced at Xi Jiana and said, "Maybe she's taking the blame for some idiot."
Higana asked curiously, "Which idiot is it?"
Could it be that besides herself, there's someone else whom Ze Shu calls an "idiot"? She'd better get to know them properly!
Ze Shu did not answer, leaving Xi Jiana wondering.
Xiao Lan glanced at Xi Jiana, then at Ze Shu, and chuckled thoughtfully.
Shafia silently watched Ruby being beaten one-sidedly and said, "This is what happens when you don't have 'power'!"
Ze Shu laughed, "Safia will use this scene to viciously mock Ruby from now on!"
Shafia replied earnestly, "I will! Brother Ze Shu!"
Xiao Lan: "...
Aren't you worried about setting a bad example for Safia?!
At this point, Qianli's "lesson" was coming to an end; no, it should be said that Ruby's stamina bar was nearing its end.
He slumped weakly against Qianli's shoulder, his face seemingly saying, "You might as well kill me."
Senri opened the Poké Ball and threw the powerless Ruby into the hand of a summoned Apexisk.
"You have to go home," he said.
He then tossed a brand-new cell phone to Ruby, who was being held by the hyperactive ape, and said, "Call your mom. She misses you."
Ruby silently took the phone.
Nearby Ruby's Pokémon—Pokémon, Ralts, and Skitty—also sat obediently in a row on the back of a Ursaring, letting the Ursaring carry them away with Ruby's hyperactive ape.
They didn't participate in Ruby getting a spanking.
After all, this was a trainer's family matter, and the three of them were Pokémon that Ruby had obtained from Senri, so naturally they didn't dare to stop Ruby from getting beaten up. Therefore, they just watched from the sidelines from beginning to end, only cheering Ruby on and encouraging him to make the beating more comfortable for him.
After Ruby left, Qianli stood there for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
A moment later, he took a step and slowly walked to the swamp tree.
"Thank you," he said.
This was to thank Ze Shu for helping him find his son and for bringing him here.
After "catching" Ruby, Sawaki contacted Senri through Odamaru. After all, no matter what, Ruby, as a child who is not yet a trainer, cannot travel alone for a long time. Sooner or later, he will have to face Senri. Sawaki just accelerated the process slightly.
In the special episode, you have to be a thousand years old before you can go out!
When Ze Shu contacted him, Qian Li was searching in the suburbs near Zi Jin City, which was far away. But miraculously, he arrived after just one grand competition.
This efficiency...
You traveled a thousand miles just to beat your son, huh?
Ze Shu smiled and said, "It's just something I happen to run into occasionally."
Qianli nodded and said, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
Recalling Ruby's angry rebuke, "You don't understand me at all," Qianli's eyes dimmed slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he asked Zeshu:
"Ruby came here because he wanted to..."
"His goal is to participate in the Grand Contest," Ze Shu told Qian Li what he wanted to hear. "Unfortunately, he's not old enough to even get a contestant pass, and he even got into a conflict with the staff there."
"The reason he ran away was naturally because of the Grand Contest. After all, there is no Grand Contest in the Johto region, while the Grand Contest is most developed in the Hoenn region."
"The Grand Contest..." Qianli muttered to himself.
He shook his head and said, "I know nothing about this kind of competition, and I don't understand what it means."
Shafiya, standing behind Ze Shu, nodded repeatedly, clearly agreeing with Qianli's words.
Zeshu said, "But Ruby seems to want to become a Coordinator. He even said you're a 'battle maniac' and wouldn't agree with his dream, so he chose to run away."
Qianli paused for a moment before saying, "Although I don't understand the meaning of this competition, nor do I comprehend Ruby's dream, I won't stop him from pursuing it."
Ze Shu said, "This is a communication problem between you and your son."
After a long pause, Qianli finally said, "I understand. Thank you."
However, he also knew that until "that matter" was completed, he would neither be able nor have the time to go home and have a proper conversation with his son.
He's gone a thousand miles.
Not long after.
Dr. Birch has arrived.
He arrived breathless.
It's as if this panting, long-running look is Dr. Birch's "permanent" form.
"I...I think I'm late..." he said, bewildered.
"Yes," Ze Shu said, "A little later, maybe your daughter..."
"What happened to my daughter...?" Dr. Oda Birch stared wide-eyed, her voice trembling with anxiety.
Ze Shu said, "Your daughter has eaten her fill."
Hiroto Odamaki: "..—."
Inside the Slowpoke Water Restaurant.
Sawaki chuckled inwardly as he rubbed the Slowpoke crawling around his feet, a creature that roamed freely within the restaurant. Did this mean that customers could freely take any Slowpoke tail they wanted?
"Dumb?" Slowpoke stared at him with a blank look in its eyes.
However, judging from its intact and old tail, its tail has not been cut off; and judging from its plump, light pink body, it has also been raised to be plump.
It's called the Slowpoke Restaurant.
But this restaurant is purely vegetarian, with no Slowpoke elements whatsoever.
Beside the table, the white-cloaked Six-Tails, wearing the Ice Eevee cape that Zeki had bought from the department store, was eating without a care for its image, getting crumbs all over its mouth and making the newly bought cape filthy, with sauce all over it.
Even the Glaceon standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore.
Honestly, how could Rokuo not appreciate such beautiful clothes that Sawaki bought!
There was a "bu-yi" sound.
A light, cold breeze appeared, brushing past the dirt on the cloak's surface, freezing and melting the dirt, and finally, with a "crack," the dirt and oil stains shattered completely.
The cloak was transformed into something brand new.
Six-tailed Fox, however, continued to eat.
"Eevee..." Glaceon looked helpless, shaking the ice-blue ribbon tied behind its ear, constantly watching Vulpix like an 'older sister,' "Eevee!"
Meanwhile, at another dining table.
"What?! Qianli beat up his son?!" Oda was surprised when she heard what had just happened.
Then he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry Shafiya, I won't beat you! It's not too late for you to feel sorry for me!"
Shafia was completely bewildered; she hadn't worried at all.
Higana chimed in, "Because you can't beat Safia."
"If it were Safia beating you up, then it might be possible."
Dr. Birch: "...—"
This is true, but is it really necessary to say it so bluntly?
And Shafie beat him up...
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Shafie is not such a "filial daughter"!
After a long silence, he sighed and said with emotion, "Although Qianli is a bit strict with his son, he still cares about him a lot. After all, it's been half a year since Ruby's birthday, but Qianli has already asked me to help Ruby find a birthday present."
"I admire this kind of love."
Shafia then said, "But Dad, my birthday is also in six months..."
Odori chuckled and quickly said, "Yes, yes! I'm already prepared! But I can't tell Safia!"
Higana muttered to herself, "He definitely hasn't thought it through; he's just being stubborn."
Odama: "..—"
He suddenly felt that Xijiana was such an annoying woman!
The Grand Contest would last three or four days, and this was only the first day. Zeshu bought the tickets, thinking, "I've already bought them, so what?"
I still plan to watch the entire grand competition.
So they planned to stay in Merced City for three or four days.
Fortunately, Mekong City has abundant "tourism resources," including the Grand Prix and an art museum.
The Lilycove Museum houses many works by masters, and the second floor also features a special collection of photos of the Lilycove City Contest champions and their Pokémon from each year, much like the path to victory in Sawaki's memory.
"They're all abstract paintings; I can't understand them."
Ze Shu shook his head, carrying the equally hateful Liuwei and leading Egui out of the art museum.
The art museum is located in the northeastern part of Floating City.
As we walked, we came to a towering cliff, and looking down, we saw a beach submerged in shallow water, with several large crabs blowing bubbles from below.
The setting sun cast a golden glow on the shallow water, creating a beautiful scene that, combined with the golden sand, is truly a rare and stunning sight.
"Did you find this corner to ask for an autograph?"
1
In the distance, on the sea surface, there are "mountains" rising high from the seabed. With Ze Shu's eyesight, he can vaguely see a "cave entrance" submerged in the water.
Zeki remembered that this seemed to be the Marine Team's base?
Like Mt. Chimney, this is a volcano. However, unlike the dormant Mt. Chimney, this volcano outside Lilycove City is an underwater volcano. Also like Mt. Chimney, where Groudon lies dormant, here lies Kyogre.
"Are you here for an autograph? Why aren't you answering me?"
Glancing at the flamboyant man beside him who kept asking questions, even sounding resentful because he was ignored, Ze Shu, who had never seen anyone with such a striking personality before, could only nod and say:
"Okay, then sign it."
Michael tossed her long green hair: "I knew you couldn't resist the temptation of my autograph!"
Ze Shu asked, "Can your autograph be sold? If so, how much would it cost to avoid insulting you?"
Mikoli: "..—"
"Who do you want to sell it to?" he asked, his voice tinged with grievance. "I can't sell it!"
Ze Shu said "Oh".
He intended to sell it to Ruby.
If all else fails, we can give it to Dawn, who is in kindergarten in Sinnoh, since she seems to be aiming to become a Coordinator as well.
Anyway, this signature is useless to Ze Shu.
Just as Ze Shu was thinking about Wan, Mi Koli pulled out a dazzling autographed card and signed it.
Suddenly, Ze Shu's phone rang.
Upon closer inspection, the contact person was Daigo.
