Chapter 120: Kaluni, I understand your pain!

No matter how beautiful Jinghu Lake is, it is just an insignificant stopping point on the journey. In the afternoon, Xia Chen returned to Route 14 and headed north.

Jinghu Lake seems to be a dividing line of terrain, with plains in front of it and mountains behind it.

The Albi Mountains stretch across the northeastern part of the Carlos region and stretch for thousands of miles.

Xia Chen's location is just the starting point. The place where Xerneas awakens that he wants to explore is located between Baike City and Yingxue City in the south of the mountain range.

According to his planned itinerary, it would take at least more than a month to arrive.

Winter nights come early, especially in the Kalos region in the north of Donghuang.

It's just less than five o'clock, and the sky is already covered with sunset.

Just like there were rest areas at regular intervals along national highways or highways in previous lives, the same is true in this world.

Rest areas often have gas stations, small elf centers, restaurants and hotels.

And in this world, wherever there are people, there is an indispensable elf battle battlefield.

This rest area located at the beginning of the Albira Mountains is quite large, and many trainers who are preparing to explore the mountains will stay here for one night.

As the saying goes, the moment the trainer's eyes meet, the battle begins.

In a rest area without much nightlife, the battlefield is the best place for restless trainers to vent their energy.

After dinner, the open-air battlefield illuminated by eight strong lights was already overcrowded.

There is no referee here, and the rules are the same as the wild courts that Xia Chen went to in his previous life. Whoever loses gets to play.

After Xia Chen finished dinner in the restaurant, he walked here with Ibrahimovic and the others to eat.

I have nothing to do, just listen to music...ah, no, let's watch the battle.

However, both are normal entertainment activities that can make people happy physically and mentally, and there is no difference in essence.

…………

In the stepped auditorium, Xia Chen took a few elves to watch the game carefully.

Because most of the people were queuing up in the player area, and there were only a few people in the huge auditorium, Xia Chen was very unqualified and released the Meenas that could take up several seats.

Leaning on Menas's smooth body, Xia Chen comfortably ate melon and watched the show.

As for going up to fight on his own, he had no idea.

This is the entrance to the Albi Mountains, and most of the people coming and going are senior and elite level trainers. This "field area" does not distinguish between different levels. If you have the ability, you can go.

Seeing the rogue Panda and Bricalon fighting hand to hand with terrifying momentum on the field, Xia Chen thought he didn't have the ability.

"Hey, different-colored Lalulas?" A clear voice came from behind.

Xia Chen didn't pay much attention to it. When he went out, several people expressed surprise at this every day, including one or two beautiful sisters who used this as an excuse to strike up a conversation with him.

So he didn't look back and replied casually, "Yes, it's very cute, but you can't touch it if it's cute."

"Lalu~" Lalu Lasi, who was sitting on Xia Chen's shoulder, nodded.

That's right, I belong to Xia Chen alone, and Xia Chen belongs to me too...

La Lulas looked down at Ibrahimovic in Xia Chen's arms and snorted in her heart.

"Sana~"

The person who just struck up a conversation didn't reply, but an elf's voice came over, and it sounded like Gardevoir.

It turned out that they were friends. Xia Chen turned his head curiously and wanted to say hello.

But when he saw Gardevoir's trainer behind him, he was suddenly stunned.

Exquisite face, almost as white as Gardevoir next to her...

"Karuni?"

…………

When Xia Chen first came to this world, he searched the Internet for the familiar champions from his previous life.

He found that the timeline of this world was very confusing, and some kings and champions were still on their way to rise.

For example, Sirona, who has just become the champion, and Zifuqi Daigo, the wealthy young man who is still addicted to digging stones...

And the rising star in the entertainment industry in front of me, Karuni.

If I remember correctly, Karuni in this world has just turned twenty-four, even one year younger than Sirona.

At such a young age, Karuni has not yet become a champion.

However, Xia Chen estimated that Karuni would already have gym-level strength at this time, even though she was not a gym leader.

Gym level is just a division of strength, indicating that the trainer is strong enough to serve as a gym leader.

And even among the gym owners, there are differences in strength. For example, the people of Galar like to boast that Chibana has the strength to become a champion when he goes to other regions.

But then again, why did Karuni appear here?

Karuni was not surprised to be recognized. Her reputation in the film industry is much higher than her reputation as a trainer.

"Xerneas", which she starred in last year, was a global phenomenon, and it was only natural for her to be recognized by movie fans.

She raised her eyebrows, "Yeah, you're surprised, right? Do you want me to sign your autograph? Or take a photo?"

The first half of Kaluni's sentence is exactly the same as what Xia Chen just said, and the second half means that she is not as stingy as him.

Xia Chen smiled awkwardly. The future champion seemed to hold a grudge...

When the atmosphere was awkward, little Ibrahimovic stepped forward again and acted coquettishly on Karuni, with outstanding results.

No girl can resist Ibrahimovic's cuteness, and the same goes for Karuni.

She scratched Ibrahimovic's chin and hummed at Xia Chen, "Your elf is much cuter than you."

…………

With the lubrication of Ibrahimovic, the atmosphere finally returned to normal. Kaluni took Gardevoir and sat next to Xia Chen.

"It seems that you are not from Kalos, right?" Kaluni asked.

It's easy to distinguish Donghuang people from Carlos people by their faces. Xia Chen nodded, "I came from Donghuang and plan to travel here for a while."

Kaluni asked: "Travel...are you also going to challenge the Miare Conference next year?"

Xia Chen shook his head, but he was quite surprised by something Kaluni said, "I'm just here for a trip, but Miss Kaluni, you want to challenge the alliance conference?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kaluni frowned slightly and asked: "What? Doesn't it look like it?"

Xia Chen clearly noticed something was wrong with the other party's mood. She seemed to...feel that she looked down on her?

"No, I know you are also a very good trainer, but... you are so popular now, do you still have time to participate in the competition?"

Kaluni replied calmly: "Maybe you won't see me on the big screen in the future."

"You want to take a rest?" Xia Chen was so surprised that his voice unconsciously raised a level.

What is going on? Xia Chen remembers that Karuni did not give up her film career even after becoming the champion. What went wrong?

Looking at Xia Chen's surprised expression, Karuni burst into laughter. She didn't expect to meet her loyal fans here...

However, she didn't know that Xia Chen was surprised by the possible deviation of the world line...

He asked tentatively: "Miss Kaluni, don't you think about it again? There is no conflict between trainers and actors, right? Just like Sirona, doesn't she also work as a mythologist? She won this title a few days ago

The Eighth Masters..."

Before the word "champion" could be spoken, Xia Chen noticed that Karuni's face, which had just turned sunny, turned cloudy again.

Xia Chen seems to have discovered something terrible. Kaluni...is she competing with Sirona?

…………

Sirona again... Sirona again!

Kaluni suddenly felt a little tired, even though she had come to this damn place, she didn't even mention a word about that woman...

This young man whom I just met compared myself with her again!

As a trainer who debuted at almost the same time as Sirona and also rose to prominence in the World Youth Championships, the two are often compared.

Strength, appearance, sideline achievements...the two are very similar in many aspects, and some good people even call Sirona and Karuni the twins of the elf world.

But since the hit "Miare Holiday" and her fame in the entertainment industry skyrocketed, Karuni found that she spent less and less time training.

Even so, with her amazing talent, her strength is still improving by leaps and bounds. Last year, she passed the alliance's gym-level assessment.

But...that woman has already become the new champion of the Sinnoh region during the period when she was slacking off!

At first, Karuni could comfort herself that she was one year older than herself, so it was normal for her to become the champion earlier.

But the Eight Masters Tournament that opened a few days ago made her understand one thing completely. She was already too far behind on the road of being a trainer, and that woman had left her too far behind.

So she naturally thought about a question: Should she sink here or catch up?

When Karuni saw Sirona defeat Dandi from the Galar region on TV yesterday and stand on top of the world, she knew the truest thought in her heart——
