Pokémon Counterattack

Chapter 13 Han Yue's Past

After hearing what Ruby said, Han Yue smiled slightly and responded, "You are also quite outstanding. The noble temperament that comes from the depths of your blood is still a long way from the natural will, but at the emotional level, nobility is undoubtedly a decisive force! Overall, it is not inferior to some natural wills."

Despite Han Yue's statement, Ruby smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying frankly: "I'm still a long way from that! I still don't know when I can break through to the early stage of the Heavenly King. It's really too early to talk about this now!"

Facing Ruby's bitter smile, Han Yue's eyes flashed with a mysterious smile, and said: "You said you haven't broken through yet, but I feel that you have already broken through. Don't you realize that when you tried to confront me head-on just now, the nobility surging in your heart was not unattainable, but a noble feeling from the depths of your heart? Therefore, having a noble temperament does not mean that you can't face a fierce confrontation!"

As soon as these words fell, Ruby was stunned for a moment, and a calm aura that was about to explode spread from him.

Han Yue smiled indifferently, thinking to himself: "I didn't expect that my words would unexpectedly prompt this kid to achieve a breakthrough. It really makes me laugh!"

Then, he stopped paying attention to Ruby who was immersed in the breakthrough state, and looked at Xiao Ming beside him. He walked closer with a smile and apologized: "I'm sorry, I accidentally damaged your tent during the battle just now."

Facing Han Yue's apology, Xiao Ming seemed extremely frightened and respectful, and quickly responded: "No, no, it's really okay. Being able to witness the fierce battle between two quasi-king-level masters is already a great gain for me. And Mr. Han Yue, you have now become a true king-level powerhouse!"

Han Yue looked at Xiao Ming's eyes full of admiration and respect, and responded with a smile: "With your basic strength, it is actually very good, but it is probably difficult to make any major improvements in this environment, so it is better to choose to travel and continue to strengthen yourself during the journey."

After saying that, he patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder, causing Xiao Ming to be stunned for a moment, and then he said excitedly: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Hanyue. I have decided to leave here tomorrow and embark on the road of challenging the gym!"

Han Yue calmly accepted Xiao Ming's deep bow and encouraged him, "Keep working hard and I look forward to seeing you again in the league competition."

Afterwards, Han Yue turned around and left. At this moment, he had already sensed that Ruby had successfully been promoted to a king-level powerhouse.

Soon, Ruby opened his eyes, looked at Hanyue, and said gratefully: "Hanyue, thanks to you, I can become a powerful king!"

Han Yue had a look of confusion on his face, and shook his head and replied: "I didn't expect that a casual word from me could help you become a king. Of course, this is also because you have accumulated a deep foundation. Even without me, you will become a king sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

Hearing this, Lu Bi smiled brightly and asked, "Han Yue, are you going to Dead Leaf City?"

Han Yue nodded to confirm: "Yes, are you going to Vermilion Leaf City too?"

Ruby waved her hand and smiled, "I'm not going to challenge a gym, but then again, I'm afraid that your joining this year's Kanto League will put a lot of contestants under a lot of pressure!"

Seeing the teasing and regretful expression on Ruby's face, Han Yue was moved and suggested: "In this case, why don't you also participate in this league competition?"

Ruby was obviously stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Since you said so, Hanyue, I am naturally happy to accept the challenge. I will also invite some friends to come with me. Originally, the League Tournament has lost its challenge value to me, but with a strong enemy like you, my interest is naturally doubled!"

At this time, Han Yue responded proudly: "Then please stay tuned, the final winner will definitely be me!"

The two smiled at each other.

After a moment, Ruby mentioned, "Okay! We'll decide the winner then. But I have to go to a nearby Pokémon Academy to take care of some things first. I'll have to wait until things over there are settled before planning to collect the badges."

Han Yue smiled and agreed after hearing this: "That's just in time. I also want to visit the Pokémon Academy. Let's go together!"

So Hanyue took the lead and walked forward, followed by Lu Bi, joking as they walked: "Seriously, did you really just start traveling? I have been traveling for nearly four years to reach my current level of strength, and you have become a strong man in the early stage of the King of Heaven just after embarking on the journey. It's really annoying to compare yourself with others!"

Han Yue shook her head slightly, a trace of reminiscence on her face: "In fact, I got a Lucario Pokémon egg when I was two years old, and then I started my training career. First, I strengthened my physique, and then learned all kinds of knowledge about Pokémon. Fortunately, there is Professor Oak's laboratory in the town where I live. There is not only a rich collection of books, but also various research equipment and Pokémon resources. I spent eight years there, and because of this, I have become what I am today."
