N-A-A Chapter 531 Recruiting Volunteers (2)
Chapter 531 Recruiting Volunteers (2)
Jia Wencheng blushed at Li Yaoyao's questioning. He was truly timid at the mention of war. He was Young Master Jia, with bodyguards driving him around, five-star hotels to stay in, the most luxurious clothes and shoes, and even the food he ate was high-end.
Having lived a life of luxury for a long time, he is of course unwilling to do anything dangerous, but being a trainer is a dangerous job. Only by exploring secret realms can you meet high-quality Pokémon, and only by fighting in the most dangerous secret realms and forcing the Pokémon into desperate situations can you quickly break through the level.
When he was still very weak, he went to Nanyue with Wang Qiyi and faced the Legendary Chen Yuanhong without fear. Now that he has a Legendary Milotic, he has become timid. It's no wonder that most people can't raise their Pokémon to a certain level anymore, because the trainers no longer have the passion and drive they once had. Wang Qiyi's passion and drive are probably one of the secrets to his continued strength.
Thinking of this, Jia Wencheng seemed to have made a decision: "I'll go with you!"
Li Yaoyao didn't react immediately. She casually provoked Jia Wencheng, wondering how he could change so quickly. This made Li Yaoyao feel a little embarrassed. Could this guy have signed up just for her? Wasn't that morally blackmailing him into joining the war? What if something really went wrong? Li Yaoyao suddenly felt a huge pressure.
She quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Jia, I just said it casually. This is a war and it's very dangerous. You should think about it carefully. It's best to discuss it with your parents. This is no small matter."
"I just need to inform them. I'm already 18 years old, and I make my own decisions on some things. I'm the number one student at Zhejiang University. If you can go, why can't I, the number one student at Zhejiang University, go?"
"Am I not the number one student in Zhejiang University?" A girl's voice suddenly appeared beside the two of them. It was Jiang Zining.
Jia Wencheng glanced at her and said, "Children, don't interfere when adults are talking."
"What are you guys talking about?" Jiang Zining came closer and saw the volunteer army registration page on Li Yaoyao's phone. She said, "I know about this. I was just about to ask you if you want to sign up."
"What's wrong? You want to sign up for the volunteer army too?"
"I just saw it online. It's such a great cause, the International Volunteer Army. It sounds really impressive. I asked Teacher Lu about it, and he said he doesn't recommend that college students like us sign up, but I'm an exception. He said my Pokémon has already surpassed Master level, and my strength is top-notch in the country. He let me make my own decision, so I came to ask you two, since you're the only two in the whole school with similar strength to me."
"I've already signed up." Li Yaoyao said.
"I'm just about to sign up." Jia Wencheng said.
"Then I'll sign up too." Jiang Zining immediately took out his mobile phone and searched for the registration website.
"Hey, at least discuss it with your parents." Li Yaoyao and Jia Wencheng spoke out at the same time to stop him.
Similar conversations were taking place across the country, and word quickly spread that the country was recruiting volunteers from the civilian population to join the international coalition. Generally, those who succeeded in participating in such large-scale international operations were guaranteed generous rewards, and those who achieved meritorious service on the battlefield would receive even greater rewards.
This sparked a lot of interest among young people, but unfortunately, the requirement of a comprehensive rating of 8000 or above prevented most from applying. The minimum overall rating for an elite elf was 2400, meaning that only those with at least three elite elves, or two elves with a high-level elite power of 3, were eligible to apply.
Ordinary university students were definitely not eligible. Only veterans of gyms or fearless trainers who spent their days exploring secret realms would sign up. Who would have thought that five people from Zhejiang University met this requirement and all of them had signed up? Besides Li Yaoyao, Jia Wencheng, and Jiang Zining, there were also Yin Fanxing and He Jiaying from the Battle Department.
Although Teacher Lu really wanted to oppose these young people from going to join the war, he could not influence their thoughts. After all, this was a call from the country, and the school certainly could not stop it but had to encourage and support it.
Wang Qiyi, who had just arrived in Hunan Province, also received an invitation letter from the Volunteer Army. It was not a conscription order but an invitation letter. It was given to him by Dong Qingping, hoping that he would go to the Volunteer Army assembly point after completing the Dojo League. Since it was an invitation, he certainly had the right to refuse.
"The first wave of volunteers has already assembled in Bay Province. The second wave will gather in ten days, just in time for the Gym League to conclude. My uncle, one of the Ten Elders and a legendary trainer named Dong Tiancheng, will lead the second wave. I don't know if you know him, but he personally sent me the invitation, and I'm passing it on to you. He said you've fought the guardian deity of the Spirit Cult before, so your experience is more important than anything else."
Wang Qiyi put the invitation away. "I never thought we were rivals, but now we have the chance to become comrades. Tell Elder Dong that if the country needs me, I will do my best to help. I've heard that the gods of the Elf Cult are very powerful, and I really want to see them for myself."
"God? I suggest you don't see it. No one has ever seen it leave normally."
"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious. What kind of elf is the god behind the Elf Cult?" Wang Qiyi went over all the mythical beasts he could think of in his mind. He guessed it wouldn't be Groudon or Kyogre. Those two guys weren't that smart. They could lead and command millions of elves, and have so many humans serving them, and even possess the ability to mentally imprint and control their minds. After thinking about it, he could only think of those few highly intelligent mythical beasts.
Lugia, that's a possibility. He's the god of the sea, and Southeast Asia is made up of island nations. But Lugia is portrayed as a very gentle and peace-loving character in the cartoons. The three idiot birds are a possibility, but they fight amongst themselves, and their IQ isn't that high. They're definitely capable of being thugs.
Ho-Oh is a solitary creature, disliking the company of other Pokémon, making it unlikely that he'd command Pokémon. Yveltal, the Y-goddess, is certainly even more brutal than that. The God of Death would slaughter and reap lives upon his appearance, and Xerneas doesn't seem like someone who would command Pokémon to great lengths. Qiyi isn't very familiar with the Legendary Beast Kings like Solgaleo, Necrozma, and the Black and White Dragons.
Looking at the teachings of the Pokémon Cult, the supremacy of Pokémons. Wang Qiyi stroked his chin. If he was right, it would probably be Mewtwo. It was the only Pokémon that held such a view. Other Pokémon didn't engage in such philosophical speculation, but Mewtwo, from its birth, began to ask itself: Who am I? Why was I born?
In the anime "Mewtwo Strikes Back," Mewtwo sees himself as a trainer, believing himself to be the strongest, determined to challenge the world's strongest human trainer. Later, moved by the bond between Ash and Pikachu, he takes his cloned Pokémon and lives on an uninhabited island, far from humans. While the anime doesn't explain what happens next, it's conceivable that Mewtwo is still pursuing his own philosophical musings.
According to Pikachu's description, the Pokémon world is already a thousand years after Ash's storyline, and this Mewtwo has likely been training for a thousand years. It was instantly invincible when it was born, and its power after a thousand years is probably even more difficult to estimate.
Of course, as a highly intelligent Pokémon, Mewtwo must know more of the secrets of the Pokémon world. If he could reach it, perhaps he could even unravel the mystery of why the Pokémon came to this world. However, to talk to Mewtwo, he must possess equal strength. This time, he wants to bring Crimson Crown with him, and he wonders if Ogre can be tamed and taken along as well.
Wang Qiyi glanced at Pikachu who was sleeping on his shoulder and said, "Pikachu, maybe you can meet your old friend from a thousand years ago."
In the Yanshan Secret Realm of Hunan Province, today marked the second round of the match between the Deep Blue Gym and the Giant Stone Gym. The entrance to the Secret Realm was covered by the Dong family's residential complex, so the entrance to the Dong family complex was packed with people. Although there were numerous security guards at the entrance, the street outside the complex, stretching a kilometer long, was bustling with vendors.
