Chapter 659 Queen Lizi's Request
Looking at the mature woman in front of him, Yang Ming's heart suddenly moved: This is the island queen who dominates Akara Island. I have never met her since I came to Alola. Now she actually comes to find me actively. She must want to discuss something with me.
Moreover, Yang Ming knew very well that Lizzie, as the queen of Akala Island, owned a large number of industries and was not much weaker than Lusamine and Kahiri in terms of financial resources. Most importantly, Lizzie controlled the largest mineral vein on Akala Island. Perhaps she had the Mega Evolution Stones of Bulbasaur and Gyarados that he had been thinking about.
While Yang Ming was thinking, Lizi took the initiative to reach out to him: "I heard about you from Kachi. Thank you for helping us control the out-of-control Overlord Pokémon last time."
Yang Ming waved his hand: "This is what I should do."
"By the way, the beautiful lady next to you doesn't look like a local. Is she your girlfriend?"
Yang Ming was about to deny it on the spot, but was interrupted by Xiao Juer beside him: "Nice to meet you. I am Xiao Juer, the gym leader of the Unova region. Thank you for taking care of my boyfriend."
Yang Ming was stunned. What was going on?
However, Xiao Juer also had her own ideas: she had done her homework when she came to Akala Island, and knew that the local island queen had been single for a long time and had been looking for a partner. So when she saw Li Zi mistakenly thinking that she was Yang Ming's girlfriend, Xiao Juer decided to make the best of a bad situation and help Feng Lu resolve some potential threats.
Lizzie, who was naturally outgoing, obviously didn't think too much about it. Instead, she approached Xiaojuer carelessly and said, "Is this the famous model Xiaojuer from the Unova region? I've seen you on TV. You are indeed a great beauty."
"Thank you Queen Lizzie for the compliment," Little Juer recalled politely.
Just as Yang Ming was about to clarify, he was pulled aside by Kachi.
"I never thought you have such a beautiful girlfriend. I'm really envious. I heard that the girls in the Unova region are very beautiful and have very fair skin, just like princesses from ancient palace paintings. I wonder when you can introduce me to some girls from Unova?"
"Get lost!" Yang Ming said unhappily.
The four of them walked and talked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at Lizzie's residence.
"I have something to discuss with Mr. Yang today. Is Mr. Yang available?"
Seeing that Lizi wanted to discuss serious matters with Yang Ming, Kachi tactfully found an excuse to leave. Anyway, his mission this time was to matchmake Lizi and Yang Ming, and since the mission had been completed, there was no need to be a light bulb anymore.
Xiao Juer hesitated. It was obvious that Lizi wanted to discuss serious matters with Yang Ming. Just as she was about to leave, Yang Ming grabbed her.
"Miss Lizzie's house has many beautiful gems. Let's go in and take a look."
As soon as the two entered the house, they were attracted by the dazzling array of gems in the room. Beautiful agate and jade were made into various lifelike Pokémon statues and placed in the living room, and some evolution stones were displayed in the central display cabinet.
"These are all my collections, you can just take a look at them."
Xiao Juer looked around excitedly. As an electric-attribute gym leader, she was most interested in sparkling things. Looking at so many beautiful gems, she couldn't help but be mesmerized.
Yang Ming's attention was attracted by the evolution stone placed right in front of the living room.
This is a sea-blue water stone. There is not a trace of impurities under its pure appearance. What is most eye-catching is its huge size. This water stone is three meters high and nearly five meters wide. If Liz's house was not big enough, this huge water stone might not fit in.
"This is a stone that my grandfather dug up during his time," Lizzie explained with a smile. "At the time, my grandfather led the miners from Akala Island deep underground and accidentally discovered the huge evolution stone. So after a month of hard work, we finally dug it out intact."
"Later, my grandfather handed over the giant evolution stone he dug up to the Alliance headquarters, which allowed the Alola region to gain autonomy. This 'small stone' is the leftover material cut from the big stone that was handed over to the Alliance."
Yang Ming secretly smacked his lips: A small evolution stone is enough to evolve a Pokémon. The big stone in front of him can at least evolve hundreds of water-attribute Pokémon. But it turns out to be just a scrap? How exaggerated must the stone itself be?
"But Alola, which our ancestors worked so hard to keep, is now in an unprecedented crisis," Lizzie sighed. "As you know, there are now invasive species called 'Ultimate Beasts' in Alola. They are very powerful and seem to come from other time and space."
"In order to deal with them, the four of us island kings tried our best and were able to barely maintain the stability of Alola. However, after the death of the previous island queen of Poni Island, the balance was broken."
"Since there are only three island kings now, the public security of the entire Alola has fallen into an extremely bad situation. The three of us are already exhausted just dealing with the intruding Ultra Beasts, and now there are also bandits causing chaos. If this continues, I'm afraid that even Akala Island and Melemele Island will be dragged into the chaos."
"So, we want to find someone to assist us. While we focus on dealing with the Ultra Beasts, we can quell the civil unrest on Ula'ula Island and restore Alola to its former peace."
At this point, Yang Ming already understood what Lizi meant. He built schools in Alola, recruited soldiers, won over the people, opened companies, and now took in a large number of refugees who escaped from Ula Ula Island. Anyone could see his ambition.
But for the island queen Lizzie, Yang Ming's ambition is not only harmless to her, but also an ally to win over. Because the situation in the Alola region is already very bad, two of the four islands are already in chaos, and the Ether Foundation is hiding behind the scenes and no one knows what it is planning. It really needs someone with great courage to come out and change the situation.
As a person who has close relations with the island king Hala, Yang Ming was able to win over various major forces and form a team loyal to him at a young age. Such a young leader with great talent and strategy is the perfect candidate to quell the civil strife in Alola.
That's why she took the initiative to find Yang Ming, trying to persuade him to help pacify the major forces on Ula Ula Island.
What Lizi didn't expect was that not only did she want to win over Yang Ming, but Yang Ming was also thinking about getting closer to her.
