Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 184 Meloetta Comes to Visit

Kirlia looked serious as she climbed the steps she had created.

Hearing the cheers and applause from the Pokémon around her, Kirlia's heart couldn't help but surge with excitement.

As the field of vision gradually rose, looking at the figures below that grew smaller and smaller, an unprecedented feeling, like the slowly rising tide, gradually filled its consciousness.

It felt as if it had truly become some kind of higher being.

Elegant and noble, every move she makes seems to draw attention and evoke emotions.

This is the "Empress" posture it imagined, magnificent and majestic!

but……

It always felt like something was missing!

Like a missing key note in a magnificent musical piece, it knows what should be there, but can't quite figure out what it is.

As Kirlia climbed to the very top and took in the entire manor, the feeling reached its peak.

What exactly is missing? Only then can she ascend to the rank of Heavenly King and officially begin her path to becoming Empress?

Under the tense gazes of everyone, Kirlia placed the grapefruit in her hand at the very top of the steps.

A flock of dark crows flapped their wings and flew through the air.

Gaa gaa gaa~

A gentle breeze stirred up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the leaves swirled past my eyes.

It seems... nothing happened.

There was no dazzling light as expected, no powerful energy resonance, and no sudden enlightenment that seemed to lead to instant success.

The solemnity that had just filled the air vanished, leaving only a slight awkwardness.

Failed.

Kirullian plopped down on the steps, looking dejected.

It wasn't too surprised; as it climbed the steps and the sense of loss in its heart grew stronger, it vaguely foresaw this outcome.

Before truly understanding what one lacks, any form of imitation is merely superficial.

A flash of light appeared on its body, and the clothes specially prepared for the textile festival disappeared, returning it to its original state.

Then, as if all its supporting strength had been suddenly drained, it sat back down, its small body sinking into the top of the light staircase, its head drooping and its eyes lowered.

Ugh……

Kirullian let out a long sigh.

The Path to Becoming an Empress... It's incredibly difficult.

Seeing this scene, Fangzhou understood that Kirlia must be feeling very upset right now.

He ran a few steps to the bottom of the light staircase, tested it, and found it to be quite stable.

So he quickly ran up the stairs created by Kirlia to the little guy and sat down next to him.

"It's alright, Kirlian. Failure is normal. The mayor also had to put in a lot of effort to break through back then."

Kirlia sighed again and looked up at the Ark.

"Suri Suri~"

Can I really become a superstar?

Infernape has successfully advanced, and its junior, Salamence, has also successfully advanced...

But I'm still stuck here...

It would be a lie to say I'm not anxious.

Although the manor did not hold various competitions to test combat strength, it did not set up stressful KPIs like the company in the previous life.

However, as a partner who often battles together, how could one not feel anxious when others advance smoothly while one fails to break through?

Kirullian lowered her head again.

I was here first...

After failing to break through repeatedly, Kirullian was worried that she was developing a psychological trauma, and that future breakthroughs would only become more difficult.

The large milk tank below and the group of chicks with different colored combs on their heads didn't dare to make a sound, all looking at Kirlia in the sky with worried eyes.

Fang Zhou clenched his fist and said, slowly and deliberately, "I can definitely break through!"

Kirullian looked up in surprise.

"The Path of the Empress... Many Pokémon live in colonies, such as the Queen of the Bees and Mrs. Flare who rule the Garden."

Fangzhou looked at Kirulian and continued, "Since the three bees of the manor aren't strong enough to give us any advice, let's go out and explore! Starting today, I'll take you around to visit tribes with King-level combat power and ask those predecessors who may have taken similar paths for guidance!"

Fangzhou gave one last, resolute promise: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a way! Kirlia, trust me, I will definitely help you advance to Elite Four!"

He silently added to himself, "If all else fails, I'll go to an auction."

Daigo said that an auction will be held in Akiba Town, next to Meteor Falls, in a few days.

The auction will feature a legendary resource related to Diancie.

Diancie is the princess of the Diamond Kingdom, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her queen. Her resources will definitely help Kirlia break through.

However, the items at the auction will certainly be very expensive, which is why the manor has not built any new facilities during this period.

In the next couple of days, Ark plans to go to the mine to collect the money from selling the ore that Cocodora had mined.

Let's see if it's enough. If it's really not enough, we'll have to ask the mayor and Daigo if they can lend us some.

Upon hearing Fang Zhou's words, and with Fang Zhou's ability to calm her emotions activated, Kirlia's previously depressed mood disappeared, and she cheered up again.

"Suri Suri!"

That's right, we can definitely break through!

The person and their Pokémon exchanged a smile.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Fangzhou felt a void beneath his body.

What the hell!

Kirlia's construction was substandard because it only needed to support itself to walk up, so it didn't accumulate much energy.

At this moment, Fangzhou followed and stayed with them for a while. The energy of the steps had long been exhausted!

Fangzhou instinctively hugged Kirlia to his chest, curled up, and fell downwards.

This was a completely subconscious action. The sudden disappearance of the stairs and the resulting feeling of weightlessness left Ark with no time to think that Kirlia could fly.

I was just subconsciously worried that it would get hurt, so I held it in my arms to protect it.

All of this happened so fast. Everyone was just watching this heartwarming scene of the person and their Pokémon getting along, and then this happened so suddenly.

Even the tropical dragons and salamanders not far away didn't have time to arrive, and could only watch helplessly as the ark fell.

boom!

Ark, carrying Kirlia, crashed to the ground with a dull thud.

"Awooo!"

"Beep beep beep~"

"Jenny, Jelly!"

The Pokémon nearby immediately gathered around to check on the Ark's condition.

Then Fangzhou got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, put Kirlia down, and dusted himself off.

Squirtle's eyes widened in surprise.

Fangzhou smiled. Because the manor had always been peaceful and had never encountered any danger, he had forgotten that he had gained the ability of invincible defense during the Spring Banquet's festival settlement.

The only difference between himself and Arceus is that Arceus needs eighteen stone tablets to remain invincible, while he does not.

Squirtle looked at the spot in the sky, then looked at the ground.

If it were me, even if I were curled up inside a turtle shell, it would probably still hurt a lot!

Squirtle looked at Ark with admiration. This human is amazing!

"Suri Suri..."

Kirlian looked at Ark with a worried expression, her eyes filled with self-reproach.

Are you really okay? It's all my fault...

Fangzhou patted Kirlia's little head, a smile playing on his lips, and gave her a thumbs-up. "You're really fine, perfectly alright, nothing's wrong."

The Ark spun around once, indicating it was unharmed. Seeing that the Ark was indeed alright, Kirlia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The blue cotton bird beside him looked thoughtful.

If Ark is so powerful, can we film videos of Ark breaking rocks on its chest in the future?

Just then, a melodious song suddenly drifted from afar.

A familiar figure drifted in from afar, with long, flowing light green hair dancing in the wind.
