When the aqua-blue ring on the man's hand dimmed, the violent anger in his eyes rose again.
A hard fist pounded on the ground, but it didn't do much damage to the temple's floor. He looked at the ground that was almost intact. Feeling the ground mocking him. He roared in anger once more.
——————————
Rope looked at the solid ice that was gradually melting in front of him, and there was also a trifle of surprise in his eyes. After all, he hadn't thought that his flames could actually melt the ice.
After all, for one thing, Rope's flames were not the same source as the ice that was created by the origin of this place. Secondly, the ice here wasn't not really ice. It was technically a polymerized crystal of water energy.
Rope subconsciously increased the firepower, thinking to melt the ice faster. But it was bizarrely found to be of no use.
Rope's brows frowned. Wasn't the fire the cause of the ice melting here? Then why was the ice melting?
And the next moment, he saw his palm.
His hand was resting on the ice.
"Rope, the ice here seems... related to you?"
Hoopa snapped for some reason.
Rope nodded, but he didn't know why...
But after thinking for a moment, he pressed his entire body to the ice.
It looked like he was trying to hug the girl who was in the ice.
And the moment Rope's body was pressed onto the ice, the ice that had been melting unhurriedly began to melt at an alarming rate.
Now Hoopa's eyes began to look at Rope in a wrong way...damn, he wouldn't believe this ice if you said it had nothing to do with Rope...
In fact... with this situation in front of him, it was useless for Rope to argue...
Rope himself was muttering in the bottom of his heart. No, this is not how to run into a beautiful woman on the road and it is related to himself... In all honesty, he really has not come here before, nor has he seen this girl.
Thinking this way Rope also felt that things here were getting more and more wrong. Things were strange here. Though he did have some guesses now. Of course, Rope wasn't sure if his guesses were correct.
It was better to not be correct. His little heart couldn't take such a big hit right now...
He really didn't want to be taking any more chances. Tired, the murderer of extinction would just scurry out and fight him now.
Of course, Rope's concern now was not about who was going to extinguish the world. Rope felt that in the end, he would be able to solve the problem of extinction when he was tracking down Arceus, like a rabbit in the grass.
Don't ask, asking is intuition.
Milotic in the back on the other hand was looking at the man in front of him, more and more he looked familiar...
The ice melted quickly the girl's form soon revealed itself and became clearer and clearer.
Rope only thought that the girl was quite good looking. But to be honest, he wasn't very optimistic that the girl in front of him was still alive...after all, she had been trapped in a large block of ice for decades. That wouldn't necessarily be able to hold up without a superhuman body.
That's why Rope was now more concerned about the ball of Water Origin in this girl's arms.
With that in mind, he intended to reach out a hand to fetch the Origin of Water.
But just as he was about to take the Origin of Water, the ice completely disappeared.
The girl's body also collapsed in the direction where Rope was.
Rope couldn't just stand by and watch the girl fall down.Rope subconsciously went to pick up the girl called Sennogi.
Because of the angle, the girl now fell right into Rope's arms.Rope didn't really mind. Rope didn't mind too much. After all, he was loyal to Cynthia. But believe it or not no man could refuse a request from a beautiful woman.
Especially when a sleeping beauty is in need of help, there's always a prince thinking of sending his kisses.
Of course, Rope is no salty prince. Wouldn't take advantage of anyone. So he gave a wink towards Hoopa to use Confusion to hurry up and get the girl up and to safety.
He held the girl with one hand in front of him, while the other hand reached towards the Origin of Water.Hoopa, after receiving Rope's meaning, was also about to help Sennogi up with a thought and bring her to a more comfortable place to lie down for a while.
Rope felt the girl's faint breathing and heartbeat. It did look like she wasn't dead. I just wondered if it was the girl's own natural talent or if it was the Water Origin's doing.
However, in the next moment of their movements, Rope saw the long eyelashes of the girl named Sennogi gently move. Then it was a pair of beautiful eyes that were as turquoise blue as the ocean that reflected into Rope's eyes. And within those beautiful eyes, Rope's stunned expression and movements were also reflected.
He hadn't thought that this girl would actually wake up so quickly.
Moreover, the current scene seemed to be very awkward...
"That... hello, my name is..."
As a result, just as Rope was in the middle of his sentence, the girl who was leaning on him reached out her hand to hug him, and spoke in a complex tone of surprise, sadness, and celebration.
"Finally...seeing you again."
Milotic had a look of sure enough. hoopa had a look of shock on his face. I didn't realize that Rope, with his thick eyebrows, actually had a date in such nooks and crannies!
Rope, on the other hand, was confused while instinctively feeling bad...
Things were probably going to be a mess this time.

"Say...Cynthia." Granny Agatha spoke up as she looked at the blonde beauty struggling to train in front of her.
Cynthia turned her head to look at Granny Agatha while waving her hand for the training Pokémon to stop for a moment. She herself approached Granny Agatha, who had brought her food over, with a smile on her face.
"What's up Granny Agatha?"
Cynthia asked as she opened her mouth while fruiting her own lunchbox.
"Ahem, that's not what I'm asking, I'm asking about this instead of your grandmother. She said you haven't talked to her about it in a while."
Granny Agatha also looked at Cynthia in front of her rather helplessly and opened her mouth somewhat awkwardly.
Cynthia, on the other hand, smiled somewhat helplessly and shook her head bitterly.
"Granny really...there's no point in discussing the real issue at all."
However, Granny Agatha's eyes also had the fire of gossip burning.
"How exactly do you plan to get along with Professor Rope and Deputy Speaker Daisy? Don't worry, no matter how you want to deal with Vice Speaker Daisy, our Sinnoh region is your absolute backing!"
Cynthia also looked at the old man in front of her rather helplessly, and after a moment spoke, "Daisy and I don't have any essential conflicts do we?"
"But you both like Professor Rope! And Professor Rope looks like he relies heavily on Daisy as well."
Agatha asked her question as well. Seriously, if she didn't know that she couldn't beat it, now she really wanted to teach Rope a lesson. Their Sinnoh's eldest lady was in love with him. He was actually thinking of someone else in his heart, wasn't that worth a good beating?
You know, she wasn't the only one in the Sinnoh League who thought that way. But everyone was in the way of their own strength issues and Cynthia's face, so they couldn't join Rope in the fight.
"But who to choose between the two of us, isn't that Rope's business anymore?" Cynthia said with a light laugh.
Granny Agatha was dumbfounded at this...Miss Cynthia, are you that temperless?
Cynthia looked at Granny Agatha's stunned eyes and continued, "And, Granny Agatha you didn't think that Daisy was the only one I was competing against, did you."
"If you look closely you'll see that...Sabrina, Lorelei, and even many of the female trainers from other regions have a big crush on Rope."
Granny Agatha didn't realize what was going on between these young men. When they were young, they didn't have the charisma to be able to kill so many male trainers in the region.
It was Granny Agatha who had charmed a lot of male trainers from various regions back then. However, in the end, Granny Agatha ended up alone. All she could think about was Professor Oak.
And at that moment, Cynthia was using her own hand, holding that small treasure chest-like pendant.
"And, I'm very confident!"
Cynthia had a confident smile on her face.
————————————
Daisy looked at the documents in front of her, finally let out a sigh of relief, then looked at the middle-aged man behind her and said, "Uncle Hayai, I'll leave the matter here to you afterward."
Oak Hayai held up his glasses and nodded seriously to Daisy, he knew that what Daisy said about this place was not that simple.
This was a chance to put the majority of the power of the entire Kanto League in his hands.
Power was something that those who hadn't gotten it might aspire to or hate. But after getting power, there are very few people who can save themselves after getting out of the mire of power.
Most people fall deeper and deeper into it, and then become puppets of power.
Of course, this was only the majority.
The Missy in front of her was clearly not one such person.
"Onii-sama, have you really decided not to care about what's going on here? The elders in the family have agreed that it's better for you to take control of the situation here. The family doesn't have a tradition of robbing its members of their loot."
Especially when that family member was the family's eldest young lady. As previously stated, the family would help all members. Although there were different ways and strengths to help different members. But everyone would feel the warmth of the family. This time was the root of the clan's existence.
"And the family still hasn't given up on the idea of transferring to the Alola region now. if the power in the Kanto region isn't ceded, we'll end up estimating that we don't have much strength in our pinched hands."
All power, itself, comes from violence. If the entire Oki family left Kanto for Alola, it would only be a matter of time before the centralized power here was seen as fat.
"These things just don't make sense to me." Daisy shook her head without hesitation, "I'm only doing these things because Rope needs them. Now that the situation has basically stabilized, it won't cause Rope any trouble just the same if you take control of it, Uncle Hayai. That's why it's only proper for me to hurry back and help Rope tend to the Institute."
"I've heard that the library has recently gained a lot more results that need to be researched. So I guess I'll still be busy when I go back. And I'm finally done with that 'Organization and Summary of the Myths and Legends of the Kanto Region' that Rope gave me earlier, so I'll be able to publish it after that."
When she said this. there was still some expectation from Daisy. You know, with a thesis, not surprisingly, she could also become a Pokémon Professor at the Research Summit in a few days!
And this, all done with Rope's help!
Hayai silently shook her head and sighed as she watched the girl in front of her finally reveal a satisfied and happy smile that was rare to see these days.
The political talent of my own Onii-chan was unrivaled in the world. The rest of her talents, although still outstanding, were ultimately a little bit inferior. For example, the field of research was never able to reach the highest heights.
But now with Young Master Rope's help, it wasn't a big problem.
"Since you have decided so. We won't say anything more."
Hayai could only say that. What else was he going to do? Facing the three future heir candidates in the family, they, the side branches responsible for doing the work, didn't have much right to speak.
Although technically speaking, Rope wasn't even a side branch. But if he was the head of the family, everyone was still basically convinced.
After all, the Oki family was one of the rare families that didn't place a lot of importance on bloodlines. What's more, Rope doesn't have any other family. The Oki family is his family. If Red hadn't still had his mother around and was an orphan, maybe the next head of the family would have had his share.
"That said, has the family's first sub-candidate been booked yet?"
"The Elders' second favorite is still Young Master Rope, but now the third favorite is you."
Hayai spoke up.
That didn't go over too well with Daisy.
"So what number was I originally favored?"
She asked, a little puzzled.
"Fourth." Hayai said.
"But... aren't there only three candidates? You guys included Red? ...That's not right, Rope should be first?"
Daisy was very confused.
Hayai, on the other hand, looked a bit strange after hearing this question, and after a long while, he spoke.
"The one that the elders favor the most...is Young Master Rope who married you..."
And so Daisy's face flushed red in the flesh, her fair complexion making the red color on her face look particularly alluring.
Of course as an elder, Hayai naturally didn't feel anything.
It was only secretly a little emotional.
Rope young master...the things he has caused are really troublesome. I wonder how many other women are waiting to snatch Young Master Rope into their hands.
