Chapter 223 - Chapter 223 - Brock's irresponsible parents

Lola only had Flint in her eyes. "You're the only one who cares about me."

Flint smoothly took Lola's hand. "That's because you are the most beautiful in my heart."

"And you are the one I love most. Even if it's my father-in-law, I'll stand in front of you and not let him blame you."

As soon as these two made this gesture, colorful aura even appeared around them.

However, others had a different view on this.

Well, the irresponsible dad and irresponsible mom are both here. Brock is really unlucky to have these two.

Giovanni looked at the two of them, and this was the first thought that came to his mind.

Facing the two who were lost in themselves and even planning to kiss, Giovanni couldn't help but clear his throat twice. "Ahem."

Only then did the two remember that there was still someone else here.

Lola suddenly hid behind Flint, somewhat shyly. Flint also seemed to have gained some masculine aura, but his dark face still had a bit of red.

He also introduced Giovanni to Lola.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce him. Lola, this is Giovanni, today's victorious challenger. He's a very excellent Trainer and also a fan of the great deity."

Lola was originally somewhat unkind towards Giovanni, after all, Flint had replaced Takeo in the battle, and then Giovanni defeated Flint to win.

But now, after hearing Flint's words, she completely changed her attitude and found Giovanni more and more pleasing to the eye.

She especially felt that Giovanni was very familiar, and there was a subtle stir in her heart.

"So we are all fans of the great deity, then we are family."

"Yes," Giovanni smiled slightly.

Lola then said to Giovanni:

"It's a pity. If I had a child, they could recognize you as an uncle. It's just that my belly isn't cooperating."

Giovanni raised an eyebrow. Your belly isn't cooperating?

Later, it's probably going to be unstoppable, exhausting Brock like a dog. Isn't it your belly that will temper Brock into the person he becomes later?

He opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, everything that should be there will be there. I see that both you and your husband have the appearance of having many children and much fortune."

Although he didn't know the truth of Giovanni's words, no one disliked hearing good words. Flint's face was full of joy. "Really? Brother Giovanni, you can even tell such things?"

Lola, however, nudged Flint with her elbow. "Alright, whether Brother Giovanni can or not, we should accept his auspicious words."

Although Flint didn't ask further, he said to Giovanni, "If Brother Giovanni's auspicious words truly come true, then I must let my child recognize you as a godfather."

"At that time, you must take good care of them."

He found Giovanni more and more pleasing to the eye.

In fact, his promise, for an ordinary Trainer, meant that a future Gym Leader was willing to let their child recognize the other party as a godfather.

This was indeed giving face.

However, no matter what Giovanni's identity was, even just as a Trainer at present, he was completely qualified.

After all, at this age, to have Gym Leader Level strength, his future is boundless.

This was also why Takeo had Flint bring Giovanni.

That old fellow was still very shrewd. Flint was straightforward, and if he could befriend a potential stock like Giovanni, his future would also be smooth sailing.

However, when Flint said this, Giovanni was stunned for a moment.

His first thought was, were they treating him as a soft touch?

After all, the two of them later ran off, leaving ten children to live a hard life, and also leaving behind an empty Gym.

Now they were just dumping this problem on Giovanni?

His second thought was, was he just going to become Brock's godfather like this?

These two guys didn't care what Giovanni was thinking, only looking at him with burning eyes.

Giovanni really couldn't stand the gazes of the couple, so he replied to Flint:

"Alright, if I have that honor, that would be the best."

Flint's face immediately broke into a smile. "Good, then we have a deal."

Giovanni was afraid that if he said two more words, he would be led astray by these two, so he said:

"Mm, let's cut the small talk. I still have to go to Cerulean City later, and time is quite tight."

Flint thought about it; Giovanni indeed needed to rush, as he still had to collect badges. So he nodded, "Alright, then let's begin."

...

At this moment, within the League Headquarters.

Charles Goodshow looked at Giovanni's new project results, as well as the accompanying data of several fully evolved Pokémon, and his eyes showed no small amount of surprise.

"This Giovanni is truly a genius."

Bang!

The office door was violently pushed open, and an excited Professor Oak shouted to Charles Goodshow:

"Old man, Giovanni has started his journey. He's already in Pewter City and has already obtained the Rock Badge. It seems he didn't lie; he'll definitely be going to Cerulean City next month."

Charles Goodshow was even more surprised by this. "He already has Gym Leader Level strength? Is he truly a dual-talented prodigy?"

Professor Oak, however, was not surprised by this at all.

"He should be. That old fellow Takeo said so. Giovanni used only two Pokémon to defeat his son-in-law's six Pokémon. He could feel that even if he himself went, it wouldn't be effective."

"What an amazing young man," Charles Goodshow muttered twice.

Professor Oak continued to report to Charles Goodshow:

"Oh, and there's another issue. Someone from the Dragon Clan has appeared, also a Gym Leader Level. He just got the Rock Badge, and I heard he's quite arrogant, just like the old fellow from the Dragon Clan."

He added, "Coincidentally, he's also in Pewter City and even met Giovanni. The two almost started a fight."

Charles Goodshow didn't care about the youthful impetuousness of the young Trainers; after all, Trainers needed to have some drive.

"Interesting. It seems this Indigo Plateau Conference will be very exciting."

Professor Oak awkwardly asked Charles Goodshow:

"Um, can I go to Cerulean City now?"

Charles Goodshow directly shattered Professor Oak's beautiful dream. "What are you rushing for? With your Dragonite, if you want to go, you can go on the same day. Do you really think a Champion is that idle?"

He grumbled to Professor Oak, "Also, have you found that runaway child of yours? You don't seem anxious at all. I really don't know how you two are as parents."

"Isn't it because you've tied me down with the title of Champion? I wish I hadn't taken it." Professor Oak pouted.

Although Professor Oak's voice was not loud, Charles Goodshow heard it clearly. "What did you say?!!!"

He was so angry his nose was almost crooked. This was a Champion, the Champion of Kanto!

Professor Oak saw Charles Goodshow getting angry and quickly changed the subject. "I know my kid; he's smart, he'll be fine. And he'll definitely go to Cerulean City; after all, he hasn't seen me in so long, he'll inevitably miss me."

How could Charles Goodshow not understand his implied meaning? "Alright, alright, I understand what you mean. I'll approve a week's leave for you then."

Professor Oak immediately smiled. "Thank you, President."
