小智取回已經恢復完成的小精靈們後,並再度對喬伊小姐道謝後,幾人找上竹蘭,對她示意。竹蘭微笑著和家人圍坐在小精靈中心的沙發區。其後竹蘭率先開口,語氣自信且親切:「大家好,我是神奧地區的冠軍竹蘭,請多指教。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAYdTdynQNlC
56Please respect copyright.PENANAVAU1T3LGPI
56Please respect copyright.PENANAVAU1T3LGPI
聽到竹蘭首先自我介紹,瑟雷娜、希特隆和柚麗嘉都感到一絲受寵若驚。56Please respect copyright.PENANAlSgoZufDep
56Please respect copyright.PENANAtL0OABjdmi
作為地區冠軍,竹蘭的地位無疑很高。幾人都沒想到她竟然會先開口介紹自己,這讓他們倍感意外和敬畏。56Please respect copyright.PENANAovgabEvM4e
56Please respect copyright.PENANAiEBMc4CvU5
瑟雷娜有點緊張,她愣了一下,隨即微微笑著道:「我……我是瑟雷娜,請多多指教!卡露妮小姐曾經提及過您的大名,說妳實力不凡,連她也自愧不如呢。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAPFvnXsFqUA
56Please respect copyright.PENANA8purYeBeLu
「卡露妮小姐過獎了。」竹蘭微笑揮手道,「我怎會比她強呢?我們都是地區冠軍,實力只是在伯仲之間。而且她的王牌沙奈朵可是妖精系,如果要和我的烈咬陸鯊打一場,勝負難講呢。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAVh76On8bZC

56Please respect copyright.PENANAYteKUm5cOE
「我……我是希特隆,請……多指教。」希特隆的語氣有些斷斷續續,看得出他也有些不安。不過他自行深呼吸,讓自己冷靜下來之後,說道:「我早前看新聞,看到竹蘭小姐您打敗了地面系天王菊子女士,成功保住自己的冠軍位置。您的比賽表現實在無敵,令人佩服呢。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAqmqoa3jGF9
56Please respect copyright.PENANAu6ylyhUIw1
「什麼?!連菊子女士也挑戰了,而且她也輸了嗎?」一直沒說話的小智,聽到希特隆提及這事之後馬上激動喊道,嚇了瑟雷娜和柚麗嘉一跳,連忙對小智抱怨幹嘛突然大喊。56Please respect copyright.PENANAulpmJkmLt1
56Please respect copyright.PENANAVJccjP6lmf
「你過獎了,那次只是好運。事實上,菊子女士她實力堅強,我只是略勝一籌而已。」竹蘭雖也被嚇,但她很冷靜地回答希特隆,並沒有因此而驚慌。56Please respect copyright.PENANAm05laveKPE
56Please respect copyright.PENANAQzaiCaQ970
大家聽到後,心裡不禁感嘆,竹蘭小姐真的既優雅謙虛又實力堅強,堪稱訓練家的典範。56Please respect copyright.PENANAoAPl16G7Kc
56Please respect copyright.PENANApz2siuubE4
這時候,柚麗嘉毫不怯場,笑容燦爛,充滿自信地說道:「我是柚麗嘉,然後……」56Please respect copyright.PENANASvfJxYLpIb
56Please respect copyright.PENANAwnDwkyhK8T
她輕快地從沙發跳下來,跑到竹蘭面前,突然單膝跪地,誠摯地說:「竹蘭小姐KEEP!拜託妳了,哥哥就交給妳了!」56Please respect copyright.PENANAd8m8DYmQyA
56Please respect copyright.PENANAPZwlWuPidL
空氣突然彷彿凝固起來。竹蘭對於突然的求婚感到不知所措,臉頰微微泛紅,氣氛頓時變得尷尬。56Please respect copyright.PENANA6yEfh071Yn
56Please respect copyright.PENANAiDGUxXw8AP
「柚麗嘉!我不是一直說不要這樣的嗎!」希特隆臉紅著按動背包上的一個按鈕,一隻機械手臂隨即伸出,從柚麗嘉的背後將她抓起來。56Please respect copyright.PENANAHp4TL7kBUy
56Please respect copyright.PENANANel2Ysw2p9
小智和瑟雷娜對視了一眼。瑟雷娜的眼神蘊含著一絲煩躁,而小智則是一臉無奈,兩人不約而同地嘆了口氣。而竹蘭則是苦笑著,不知道可以說什麼。連竹蘭也難以回應,柚麗嘉的舉動真的『驚為天人』。56Please respect copyright.PENANA3n8xROu5vi
56Please respect copyright.PENANAjuTY0fsrmL
待鬧劇告一段落後,兩兄妹重新坐好。瑟雷娜再度開啟話匣子,好奇的問道:「竹蘭小姐為什麼認識小智?以前小智在神奧地區冒險的時候,你們遇到過嗎?」56Please respect copyright.PENANAfdRCXJsVL6
56Please respect copyright.PENANA2JGr5xZPzu
「的確如此呢。」竹蘭微笑回答,「以前我在某個城鎮,曾經遇到小智君以及遇到他的對手真司君。當時我說了一句話形容他們的關係。小智君,你還記得嗎?」56Please respect copyright.PENANAf8k7brEF02
56Please respect copyright.PENANAx959XcJRdn
「所有的生命會與其他的生命相遇,產生出某些的東西。」小智立刻回答道。56Please respect copyright.PENANAs6DvTaGi1Z
56Please respect copyright.PENANAL18xY9lS24
「正解!小智君,你還記得這句話呢。」竹蘭顯然很高興,罕見地露出一絲可愛的笑容。56Please respect copyright.PENANAZwQyo85T61
56Please respect copyright.PENANAtFlicZvhBi
就在這個時候,場邊突然傳來沉穩的腳步聲。56Please respect copyright.PENANA1vKKLchDXR
56Please respect copyright.PENANAcwRJD7Z1P6
「踏、踏、踏……」56Please respect copyright.PENANAa97PPxZ9N6
56Please respect copyright.PENANAQKzi6n8nFl
那聲音並不響亮,卻有著無形的壓力,節奏穩定地朝著眾人靠近,吸引他們的注意。56Please respect copyright.PENANAKp7Vj1x39I
56Please respect copyright.PENANAM0ab13lWpG
小智等人和竹蘭不約而同地朝聲音來源望過去,看到一位青年靜立於竹蘭面前。他身材修長,上身黑衣,下著灰褲,整個人散發一股冷靜又堅毅的氣息。56Please respect copyright.PENANABkwABaHTFx
56Please respect copyright.PENANADw6eH3zO3b
雖然如此,他不顯得傲慢無禮,而是沉穩地開口道:「請問您是竹蘭小姐吧?」56Please respect copyright.PENANAiiWF1nlk9W
56Please respect copyright.PENANA0te031sAfs
竹蘭抬頭打量來人,眼見對方眼神堅定,她輕微一笑:對方的眼神明顯帶著挑戰意味,她彷彿已猜到來意。56Please respect copyright.PENANAfxzMspYnCj
56Please respect copyright.PENANA9vljpHLzQf
「沒錯,我就是。」她輕輕頷首,眼神保持從容與溫和。56Please respect copyright.PENANAhu3Qcu5poU
56Please respect copyright.PENANAgk9GGxEeoa
果不其然,青年並不迂迴,說道:「我是艾嵐。我想向您提出對戰請求。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAvN2GCMZwK0
56Please respect copyright.PENANARTBEYpJE1d
此言一出,小智和夥伴們都驚訝地看著艾嵐。小智曾經和艾嵐多次私底下交手,更剛剛在聯盟決賽中碰頭,深知他的實力與個性,但誰也沒想到他會在此刻突如其來地挑戰竹蘭,這舉動實在出乎他們預料。可是他們卻一時語塞,而且也不好意思插嘴打擾。他們有默契地保持沉默,靜待竹蘭回應。56Please respect copyright.PENANAUertHBxpB6
56Please respect copyright.PENANA4wzVMuzXko
「我接受你的挑戰……雖然我很想這樣說。」竹蘭先是一笑,卻又輕搖頭,「但畢竟現在是我的私人時間,我想知道你挑戰我的理由。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAR1w4MM8YXo
56Please respect copyright.PENANAO9DR4Cxeuo
她邊說邊站起身來,與艾嵐目光交匯著。艾嵐的眼神仍舊堅定,並沒有因為和竹蘭四目交投而退縮。56Please respect copyright.PENANAkIZuMMbXie
56Please respect copyright.PENANAczbDOguwz9
正所謂『兩位訓練家四目交投時就要來戰鬥一場』,兩人之間似乎都很想和對方痛快地進行一場小精靈戰鬥。56Please respect copyright.PENANAbXGmUgVgdz
56Please respect copyright.PENANAcACaZ2mvri
「很簡單,為了最強。」艾嵐毫不畏懼地回答,同時抬起左手腕,讓一圈鍍著特殊金屬光澤的超級環出現在眾人視線中。56Please respect copyright.PENANAICwFuN2blX
56Please respect copyright.PENANAH7wIiR2D6p
在超級環晶體的微光閃爍中,艾嵐冷靜解釋道,「這個超級環經過改造後,可以探測到附近的鑰石。56Please respect copyright.PENANAeTpVSn94sB
鑰石存在時,它會發光,且距離越近,閃爍頻率越高。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAbhkFa8p0T7
56Please respect copyright.PENANAyKIDY3Whac
艾嵐頓了頓,俐落地環顧眾人,最後視線落回竹蘭身上:「請看,它現在就在閃爍。它已設定不對我自己的鑰石起反應,所以只可能是竹蘭小姐您擁有鑰石。」56Please respect copyright.PENANADFTWMhj8aQ

56Please respect copyright.PENANAwPi6OPvH3q
竹蘭低頭沉思片刻,指尖輕輕觸著下巴,彷彿在衡量對策。然後她再次抬頭,眼中罕見地閃過鬥志的光芒:「很好。本來在非正式場合,我不會使用超級進化,但今天就破例一次吧。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAr4TgVhQnc8
56Please respect copyright.PENANAlbyjgKs4UQ
56Please respect copyright.PENANAlbyjgKs4UQ
聽到這話,艾嵐的神情也因興奮而微微明亮,他微笑道:「感謝您,竹蘭小姐。我很期待和您一戰。這將是繼大吾先生之後,我再次與地區冠軍對戰。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAY9iWdCZF4c
56Please respect copyright.PENANAfKutP2gIFA
56Please respect copyright.PENANAfKutP2gIFA
「大吾嗎?」竹蘭輕揚眉梢,語氣中多了一分挑戰意味,「原來你也與他交手過……不錯,有意思。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAIKyLcZe2a5
56Please respect copyright.PENANAVp0MFgJM4h
56Please respect copyright.PENANAVp0MFgJM4h
此時,她的聲音中透出難得的昂揚,卻仍保持優雅姿態:「那麼,我們就在小精靈中心後方的戰鬥場地交手吧。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAQi5BYJbjQI
56Please respect copyright.PENANAzaDYynSkJP
56Please respect copyright.PENANAzaDYynSkJP
小智與夥伴們對此激動不已,忍不住提出想觀戰的請求。竹蘭瞥了他們一眼,微笑頷首,再詢問艾嵐意見。56Please respect copyright.PENANApN7SbR9Aa7
56Please respect copyright.PENANAaoUsb157NH
56Please respect copyright.PENANAaoUsb157NH
艾嵐望向小智,眼神中難得浮現出一絲溫和的光:「我和小智是好對手,也是朋友。他們觀戰,當然沒問題。」56Please respect copyright.PENANAWGZtmsaYRj
56Please respect copyright.PENANAts1E2zofgH
56Please respect copyright.PENANAts1E2zofgH
於是,在這不經意又必然的聚合下,一場精采決鬥的序幕悄然拉開。
