Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

On the eve of Chapter 169, Reflections on the Path of Development

"Awooo?"

What kind of path should I choose?

When Infernape heard Ark's question, it scratched its head, the flame on its tail flickering slightly, while Kirlia beside it also fell into deep thought.

The wind sprite was the quickest to give an answer.

"Beep beep beep~"

The wind sprite felt that its current development direction was pretty good, transforming into a bomber and dropping flash seed machine guns everywhere. However, if possible, it hoped that the seed machine guns would be more powerful, or that they could be replaced with missiles or something similar, so that it might be able to upgrade into a space battleship in the future.

A picture involuntarily flashed through the wind fairy's mind: flying through the air with cotton wool, raising a cannon high behind her, and blasting enemies to death with a single shot.

Yeah, the first thing we need to do is blow up the Electabuzz guild.

Bomb them flat with one shot, and they'll never come looking for trouble again!

Later, you can even carry missiles into the maze and see which maze illusion dares to block your way.

Fangzhou laughed when he heard this; it seemed like he was about to cosplay Mega Zygarde.

The poisonous moth beside it let out two soft chirps.

It also has some ideas about the path forward. When it comes to legendary resources, who can compare to it? It has Arceus's Jade Insect Tablet inside its body.

As for its future development path being the same as Arceus's Bug-type form, it doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.

The urgent task is to reawaken the jade insect plate inside the body and make the poisonous powder moth great again.

You should know that it used to be the strongest fighter in the manor.

Since the Jade Beetle Slate went silent, it has been overtaken by several top-tier monsters like Infernape and Kirlia, and now even Salamence has surpassed it.

It is Xiao Wu’s duty to restore the glory of the poisonous powder moth!

Fangzhou patted its head and comforted it, "Don't worry, we'll definitely find a way."

In fact, Ark already had an idea on how to awaken the Jade Insect Slab, but it was quite difficult to implement.

Arceus could certainly reawaken the stone tablet, but Arceus has already fallen. As a second choice, Ark thinks that Mew, as the first Pokémon born after Arceus created the world and carrying the genetic template of all Pokémon, might have a way.

Besides that, there's Genesect. As one of the few Bug-type legendary Pokémon, it should be able to reawaken the Sable Beetle by using its massive Bug-type energy.

Unfortunately, Rayquaza ran away too fast last time, and I didn't even have a chance to ask it. Maybe a top-tier legendary Pokémon like Rayquaza would have a solution.

Fortunately, according to Rayquaza's previous statement, another of Grandpa's old friends is about to come knocking. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be another legendary Pokémon with divine authority. We can ask them if they can help us then.

At this moment, Kirlia, who was standing next to her, finally decided which path she wanted to take.

Upon hearing Ark's question, Kirlia was baffled. The scene that came to mind was neither the Grand Contest nor the encounter with Meloetta at the Weaving Festival, but the scene from the day she was born.

That night, the Gardevoir in the picture that Fangzhou saw while lying in its arms left a deep impression on it.

That artist is incredibly talented; they captured Gardevoir's queenly aura perfectly, showcasing her regal presence.

Back then, Kirlia was a Ralts with a Squirtle plushie and a Pikachu plushie under her command. She was their leader, and later she had a group of Wurmple minions. Later, she had a group of Miltank minions.

However, Kirlia also appreciates beautiful things, and after seeing Mikoli's little Lara's performance, it also developed a liking for glamorous shows.

Kirlian was torn between two paths: one of domination and the other of princess.

But after Ark asked, it remembered the picture of Gardevoir it had seen that night, and all the past events came together, creating a roar in its mind, making it instantly understand what it wanted.

Just as the blue cotton bird spread rumors in the video, what it really wants is to be the queen!

Kirlia wants to be a queen, both noble and powerful, as well as beautiful and dignified.

Thinking about it carefully, many of my past actions actually subconsciously indicated my inner thoughts. For example, when choosing the style of clothing, I gave up the princess dress and chose the queen dress instead.

Fangzhou's eyes were full of smiles: "Good, good, good, our Kirlia will definitely evolve into Gardevoir and become the queen."

My Queen...

Suddenly, the image of a Pokémon popped into Fangzhou's mind—Dianci.

However, Diancie should be considered a princess, the princess of the Mineral Kingdom, but she is the Pokémon with the most queenly aura that Ark has seen, leading a bunch of little diamonds.

If given the chance to meet her, Kirlia might have a deeper understanding of her future path.

Kirullian nodded, indicating that she would work even harder. She had recently been trying to draw upon the power of the ancient song to tap into the power of emotions, the power of unity, the power of striving, and even learning from the Queen Bee's experience in managing the three bees. She had already made some progress.

"Good, good, good, our Kirlia has the makings of an empress."

At this point, Infernape finally gave its own answer.

It was blessed by Ho-Oh and has special potential in fire-related aspects. Although it currently has a fighting type, it still hopes to go further and further down the path of strengthening its fire abilities.

Fangzhou nodded. This was also the route he wanted Infernape to take, as Infernape had a significant advantage on this path.

Now its flames are gradually turning deep blue, and the next step will be cyan. Once it evolves into cyan, it will officially enter the Elite Four level and can begin to try to master the Phoenix King's sacred flame.

Fangzhou remembered that the mayor had mentioned that the rewards from the Celestial Chosen Festival could help Infernape reach the Elite Four level.

Looking back now, it's very likely that it was a resource from a legendary Fire-type Pokémon.

"Awooo~"

Then, the Fire Monkey started talking about his recent feelings.

As its strength increased, it felt that it was gradually able to sense and even guide the "misfortune" aura within its body.

That is, the source of a bad luck constitution.

Those negative energies are gradually condensing and settling as the flames sublimate.

Fangzhou had a sudden thought. The system's description only vaguely stated that the unlucky constitution was caused by Ho-Oh's blessing. But now that he thought about it, the deeper reason might be that Ho-Oh's blessing was helping Infernape "refine" the negative energy hidden deep in its body. Once all the darkness was refined and expelled, the flame would reach a state of ultimate purity.

That makes sense.

The key to Infernape breaking through to Elite Four lies in condensing the last bit of negative energy and unleashing all the accumulated negative energy at once, thereby completely severing its unlucky constitution and gaining the possibility of controlling the sacred flame.

Fangzhou fell into deep thought. All the negative energy he had accumulated so far was about to be released, and he needed to think about where would be a suitable place to go. He felt that it would be a terrifying energy.

"Ring ring!"

Just then, the phone rang.

It was the mayor's voice: "Fangzhou, the Tianzhao Festival will start on time tomorrow. Oh, and the people from Rocket Entertainment have arrived too, so keep an eye on them."

Fang Zhou responded and hung up the phone.

The setting sun was gilding the manor with gold.

Tomorrow feels like it's going to be a lively day.
