Chapter 217 An Encounter with Greenery

Suburbs of Golden City, Highway 6.

Lu An stood on the outskirts of Golden City and reached out to touch the empty space in front of him.

An invisible yet tangible barrier blocked Lu An's hand; it was the Goldenrod Gym's superpower barrier.

It is this barrier that separates the inside and outside of Golden City into two completely different worlds.

Outside the barrier, Team Rocket is just a mischievous bunch causing trouble everywhere, but inside the barrier, they are wolves and tigers wielding steel blades, eyeing their prey menacingly.

Now, Lu An and the other investigators are about to break into this heavily fortified den of tigers.

Naz stepped forward and gently touched the barrier with her hand.

"How is it? Can you open it?"

Nazi was about to say something when Lu An asked her question.

"Ha, don't even think about it. Even I can't break through this barrier. I advise you not to even think about entering Golden City."

Upon hearing that irritating voice, Lu An suddenly felt that he might know the owner of that voice.

Lu An turned his head and saw a handsome young man with an afro and a necklace around his neck standing not far from him and Nazi.

Beside him stood a very strong fire-breathing dragon.

Seeing that Lu An was staring at him, the boy frowned in displeasure:

Why are you staring at me? Did I say something wrong?

"For some reason, the area around Goldenrod City is now shrouded in a protective shield. Even my Charizard's flames can't break through it. You'd better take a detour."

Long Ze, being Lu An's lackey, was furious to see a boy of similar age dare to publicly mock his idol.

"What did you say? Do you know that he is...?"

Lu An reached out and stopped Long Ze from throwing a tantrum.

Looking at the arrogant, pretentious-looking young man with the afro, Lu An was not angered, but rather intrigued:

"The grandson of the Ooki family?"

The boy with the afro, whose nose had been practically pointing to the sky, suddenly drooped down, angrily saying:

"I'm not called the grandson of the Da Mu family, my name is Qinglu!"

Yes, the boy in front of them, not much younger than Lu An, was Professor Oak's grandson, who had set off from Pallet Town on his journey.

The protagonist, Crimson's, lifelong rival.

The future Tokiwa Gym Leader,

Blue Green, personally recognized by Dr. Oak as the "nurturer"!

Lu An never expected to meet Qinglu on the way to Golden City.

This is going to be a big shot in the Pokémon world in the future!

We met in such an ordinary yet coincidental way.

As a fan of Chi Hong, how could Lu An not understand the personality of his lifelong rival?

Blue hates being called "Professor Oak's grandson" the most, and always wants to make a name for himself.

Of course, he did succeed in the end.

Later in the original story, no one thought of him as Professor Oak's grandson when they first saw him; instead, they regarded him as a truly exceptional Pokémon Trainer.

However, at this point in time, Qinglu still looks like a callow youth, even though he is already an adult.

Lu An crossed his arms:

"Hmph~ What, as the grandson of the Ooki family, you can't even get into a mere Goldenrod City?"

Nazi, who was next to Lu An, glanced at Lu An but didn't say anything about his belittling of Golden City. However, the air around them seemed to drop several degrees out of nowhere.

However, the emerald green, caught up in the moment, failed to notice this environmental difference.

He was furious that Lu An had once again referred to him as "Professor Oak's grandson":

"My name is Blue! Blue! I'm not Professor Oak's grandson!"

"Who exactly are you? And why do you know me?"

Qinglu had no liking for this guy who had revealed his identity the first time they met, and who looked no older than him but acted like a leader.

Especially since he dares to be even more handsome than me!

Longze didn't care whether the guy in front of him was Professor Oak's grandson or not. He was an investigator, and Professor Oak was a professor. They were from completely unrelated systems.

Therefore, he had long been unable to hold back:

"The person standing in front of you is one of only two Special Class Investigators in the Kanto Headquarters, Special Class Lu An."

"Salutonic City has been captured by Team Rocket. Lute and his team are here specifically to resolve the crisis in Salutonic City."

"Team Rocket is everywhere in Goldenrod City right now. You should go somewhere safe and stay away from the vicinity of Goldenrod City."

Long Ze still remembered Qinglu's mocking words to Lu An, so as soon as he had the chance, he immediately returned Qinglu's words verbatim.

Qinglu looked at Lu An in surprise, and carefully examined him for a moment:

"Special Investigator?"

As Professor Oak's grandson, Qinglu was well aware that the Investigators were an organization that was independent of the League's organizational structure.

The highest-ranking investigator is the Special Investigator. As far as he knows, the Dragon-Riding of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto is a Special Investigator.

Blue has spent his entire life striving to shed the title of "Professor Oak's grandson," which is why he possesses such great strength at such a young age and will become the second-place winner of the Indigo League in the near future.

However, this also means that despite having Professor Oak as his backer, he doesn't know many people in the League system.

However, this does not affect his understanding of the value of the "Special Investigator" title.

The guy in front of me looks so young, but he's actually a Special Investigator, the highest-ranking officer in the Kanto region, just like Du Yulong.

Qinglu, who had previously looked at Lu An with disdain in her eyes and tone, looked at him directly for the first time.

"You want to go to Golden City?"

Lu An smiled slightly: "Is that not allowed?"

Qinglv pouted:

"Don't blame me for not warning you, if I'm not mistaken, this protective shield is the culmination of many years of hard work by the Goldenrod Gym, and it's something that can't be broken by human effort alone."

Lu An shook his head:

"wrong."

Green Curiosity:

"Where did I go wrong? This protective shield was created by the Goldenrod Gym..."

Lu An shook his head again:

"The second half of your sentence is incorrect."

Lu An looked at the protective shield:

"This protective shield is not unbreakable, but rather, no one has yet appeared who can break it."

"And now I've arrived."

Upon hearing Lu An's words, Qinglu immediately switched to her most proficient mode of sarcasm:

"You? Even if Yu Longdu were here, he wouldn't be able to break it."

Lu An reached out and touched the protective shield, a moment of thought flashing in his eyes:

“What I can do that Yulongdu can’t do, that’s why he sent me to Golden City to save the day, while he stayed at headquarters.”

Yulongdu is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, a man who has the true power of a champion. Who the hell are you?

Qinglu instinctively wanted to refute Lu An again, but after remembering that this guy was an investigator of the same rank as Yulongdu, she reluctantly shut her mouth.

"Hmph, you say you can break through the protective shield, then show me."
