Chapter 93 Michael: My nephew is my best friend's best brother?!
"So soon? Hmm... yeah, it's already the end of the month. Come to think of it, it really is almost here."
Li Luochen was surprised by the news of Zhu Lan's arrival.
But remembering what Cattleya had told her before, that Orchid would be coming at the end of the month, and now it's already September 28th, it's indeed about time she arrived.
Just then, Li Luochen's phone rang.
Li Luochen picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Mikoli.
[Water's Mikel: Nephew, my niece has boarded the plane. She's currently running a commercial project in Sinnoh and just departed from Suzuran Airport. She's expected to arrive at Changle Airport in eight hours. Here's her contact information.]
Mikoto recommends "The Idolmaster" to you.
Upon seeing the first sentence, Li Luochen immediately thought of Zhu Lan, whose plane was also taking off at the same time.
He was just wondering when these two had become uncle and niece when he saw the contact person recommended to him by the other party.
The Idolmaster, isn't this a fan group that has been nurturing its members for a full 900 days?
Ok……
It might be a nickname.
Thinking of this, Li Luochen clicked on it.
Upon seeing the sparks that lasted for 900 days, I was momentarily stunned.
So, the one raising sparks with me is Rukia?
[Yan Yanyan: ?]
Li Luochen pressed a question mark.
[Mikori of Water: smirking.jpg]
[Mikori of Water: What a gorgeous coincidence~, isn't it~?]
Clearly, Mikkelsen knew everything.
[Yan Yanyan: Indeed, I should have thought of that sooner.]
Li Luochen was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
First there was Sleeping Beauty, Cattleya; now there's The Idolmaster, Rukia.
Unexpectedly, this online friend he had known for two or three years had such a connection with him, which made Li Luochen click on the homepage of [Mineral Maniac].
IP: Unknown
Well, I guess he went to some place without internet to mine again.
"Strange...do I really have that many mutual friends with Brother Minerals?"
Li Luochen then noticed the list of mutual friends he shared with [Ore Maniac].
There were five people in total.
He remembered that there were only two or three people at the beginning.
It's actually grown to this extent now?
Ok……
Let's wait until they have internet access before asking.
I happened to have picked up some perfect water stones in the secret realm, so I asked him if he wanted some.
Given the other party's stone collecting obsession, I'll probably buy it.
After exiting the homepage of [Ore Maniac].
Li Luochen then sent a message to [The Idolmaster].
However, Rukia sent herself a message first.
The Idolmaster: Hehe~ Didn't expect that, did you~
[The Idolmaster: My online friend of three years turns out to be a popular idol! If this were a light novel, it would be a major highlight, right?]
[The Idolmaster: How's it going? Aren't you looking forward to meeting me?]
Ryukia sends a long string of messages at a time.
Whether Li Luochen enjoyed it or not is unknown, but Liuqia certainly did.
[Yan Yanyan: To be honest, it's impossible not to be excited when a friend I've known online for three years says they want to meet in person.]
[The Idolmaster: Eh~ I thought Luo Chen-nii's reaction would be surprising... Well, you're not in the Grand Contest circle after all.]
[The Idolmaster: By the way, you're probably in the competitive gaming scene, right?]
[Yan Yanyan: In a sense, that is indeed the case.]
The battle arena is a large one, much larger than the Grand Contest.
After all, anyone in any industry that deals with Pokémon will inevitably be involved in battles to some extent.
It's perfectly fine to say that you're involved in the competitive gaming scene.
[The Idolmaster: Guess who I ran into on this plane?]
[Yan Yanyan: Zhu Lan?]
[The Idolmaster: ???]
[The Idolmaster: How did you know?!]
Looking at the message from Ryukia, Li Luochen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Suzuran Island is the headquarters of the Sinnoh League. If you depart from Suzuran Airport, you can only encounter a few well-known trainers.
Considering that Gadriya told her that Zhulan had also boarded the plane, who else could it be but Zhulan?
Surely it can't be Wang Wusong, who works overtime all the time?
Thinking of this, Li Luochen told Liuqia that he had just guessed randomly.
After sending the message, Ryukia replied with a crying emoji.
He intended to shock Li Luochen.
As it turned out, I was the one who was shocked!
……
……
Sinnoh region, Suzuran Airport, inside the first-class cabin.
"Little Ryukia, why do you look so worried? Is there something you can't handle?"
A blonde beauty wearing a black trench coat was sitting in the seat next to Rukia.
The blonde beauty was none other than Zhu Lan, who was on the same plane as Liu Qiya, preparing to head to the Donghuang region.
"No, I just wanted to shock my friend, but I didn't expect him to know everything. Instead, I was the one who was shocked."
Ryukia put her phone in her pocket, propped her cheek up with one hand, and drew circles on her thigh with the other: "Sister Zhulan, what brought you to the Eastern Huang region this time?"
"I was invited to play an exhibition match in Rongcheng. It just so happens that I have a good friend in Donghuang, so I'll stay at their house for a while."
Zhu Lan smiled slightly, tossed her golden hair, and gazed at the distant Alliance headquarters for a long while before slowly turning her head to look at Liu Qiya:
"Little Ryukia, what brings you to the Eastern Region this time? I remember things have been rather unsettled there lately. Didn't Mikuri come with you?"
Hearing Lan's question, Rukia touched the hair accessory she was wearing, a little embarrassed: "I've had a lot of business orders lately, so I'd like to find a place to rest for a while. My uncle told me to go there first, and he'll be leaving from Lilycove City in a couple of days."
"I see."
Zhu Lan nodded slightly: "I've also been in Rongcheng these past few days. If you run into any trouble, you can ask me for help."
"Mmm! Thank you, Sister Zhulan~"
"You're welcome."
With a smile, Zhu Lan picked up her phone and sent a few more messages to Wu Song, who was in the alliance, before turning her phone into airplane mode and closing her eyes to rest.
The same goes for Ryukia.
But in her mind, she was wondering why her Uncle Mikeli wanted her to go to Rongcheng first.
……
……
Hoenn region, Sootopolis City, Awakening Temple.
"Daigo, I'm here."
Mikkuri entered the Temple of Awakening, carrying many documents: "This is the recent activity trajectory of Team Aqua and Team Lava. Neither side has made any moves, but... I'm afraid they might interfere at a crucial moment."
The light blue-haired man gazing at the mural turned around, met Mikoli's gaze, and waved to him, saying, "There's still time. Let's put that aside for now. I have something else I'd like to ask you."
"What is it?"
Michael was surprised that Daigo would actually ask him to do something.
It's worth noting that, aside from the previous champion, Daigo has never used the word "please" on his own initiative.
"You're going to Rongcheng in a couple of days, right? I'd like you to bring something back for my friend there."
Daigo took out an exquisite box and handed it to Michael: "I was originally planning to deliver it myself, but the situation in the Hoenn region hasn't been good lately..."
"Don't be so pessimistic. Cheer up. I think your friend wouldn't want to see you like this if he were here."
Michael took the box, and even without a clear answer, it meant he was willing to help Daigo: "By the way, who is your friend? Do you have their contact information?"
"This one. But it seems there's no internet. I'll send it to you after we get out."
Daigo fiddled with his phone for a while, then displayed his friend's profile in front of Michael.
"?"
Mikoli was stunned when she saw the three large characters "Yan Yan Yan" appear before her eyes.
Noticing Michael's somewhat unusual expression, Daigo raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"
