Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Real Team Rocket!?
"That's it, we're seriously understaffed right now, and if we continue like this, I'm afraid we'll delay the performance, so we beg you again, please help us!"
At this time, in the living room, the three sisters of the Hualan Dao Pavilion solemnly made their request to Yihui. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You want me to help, but this ...... How, exactly, do that?"
Their conversation had been going on for more than ten minutes, and Sakura in the lead, who had repeatedly asked Kazuki for help, was so anxious that she forgot to explain the content.
"Excuse me, it would be great if you were willing to help, so please come with me!"
Sakura saw that Kazuki did not refuse their request, and took a serious look at the sisters behind her, and received a unanimous nod.
Ikki stood up and followed Sakura into the hall with Leo Road.
Some time before that, when Kasumi couldn't help but say that she was going to throw the struggling Leo Lu into the huge pool in the middle, it was Sakura who prevented the tragedy from happening. For this reason, Leo Lu is grateful, and only those who can't swim can appreciate how terrifying it is to be in a pool where there is no way to reach the end.
It was at that time that Ikki learned about the fact that Leo Lu couldn't swim, and snatched Leo Lu from Xiaoxia at the first time.
The gym has an underground part, which is usually not visible in the hall, but once the huge glass pool is lifted to the ground with lifting equipment, it is completely the scale of a small aquarium. Leolu, who didn't feel much in anime back then, once again glanced at Sakura and Kazuki with eyes full of gratitude.
"Since you're a friend of Kasumi, we'll tell you something," Sakura said even then, but looked at Kasumi again with uncertainty. Seeing Xiaoxia nod affirmatively again, she continued, "We would like to ask you to go to the forest on the outskirts of Hualan City to find an herb. ”
Kazuki was stunned: "What's wrong? Is anyone sick?"
Sakura shook her head: "It's not anyone, it's our Hualan City's signature actor Little Sea Lion who has a problem." ”
"What about Miss Joy? Isn't she an expert on elves?"
Calamus took a step forward and took over the conversation between the two: "We have looked for it, but the medicinal materials needed are very rare, and the elf center does not have a stock of this medicine. ”
But Miss Joy said that the herb was grown in a way that suited the climate of Hualan City, so it might be found in the forest outside. Peony added.
"It's not that we didn't look for it, but the strength of the three of us alone is still too weak, and we can't find it even if it takes a day. Now we have to set up the venue, after all, even if the little sea lion doesn't come on the stage, the show still has to start, and we really can't think of a way, please!"
"Ikki, please help us get through this!"
Looks like we're going to have to be busy this time. Leo Lu thought as he sat on the floor beside Ikki's chair. At the same time, he aimed the illustrated book in his hand at the listless little sea lion lying in the center of the giant water tank.
[Baby sea lions, sea lion Pokémon, like to swim in cold water, the lower the temperature, the more energetic the baby sea lion is. 】
"Okay, I'll just promise to help, but since you're looking for something, the more people there are, the better?"
Sakura thought for a moment and said, "That's right, but where are we going to find someone willing to help us?"
Yihui looked at Xiaoxia and said with a smile: "Aren't there two free laborers!"
Sakura was completely confused after listening to Ikki's "free labor", so she had to turn her face to Xiaoxia and look at her suspiciously.
"Don't worry, I won't tell Ash, I can fool him by finding a reason. ”
Looking at such a confident Yihui, Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Gang didn't care, if she met, she should have guessed it, but if Xiao Zhi saw it, the kid who was full of battle would definitely hold on to herself, and maybe she would taunt a few words.
"Without further ado, let's go first, I'll do my best anyway!"
Seeing Yihui and Leo Lu walk out of the back door of the gym, Sakura poked Xiaoxia with her elbow and said maliciously: "It seems that our Xiaoxia has really grown up, I didn't expect to be able to find such a good child, my sisters are really going to be impressed by you!"
"That's it, Xiaoxia, you must come on, don't let that kid run~"
"Sister, we are very concerned about it~"
Surrounded by three sisters, Xiaoxia, who kept joking, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly with a red face: "I said that I don't have a boyfriend yet, no matter how you look at it, that kid is a child!"
"Eh~Really?" X3
“……”
As soon as Yihui and Leo Lu left the Hualan Dao Hall, they rushed to Xiaoxia's house non-stop, and as soon as they entered the door, the two found that these guys hadn't woken up yet. I had no choice but to wake up these people one by one.
Then he immediately brought Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang, who didn't know the situation, and all the elves to the outskirts of the city.
"Whew...... Call...... Wait, wait, let me catch my breath......"
As a result, the first person who couldn't run was also Kazuki.
"What's the matter, you're so flustered, and you brought us all here, what the hell are you going to do?"
[We accepted Miss Joy's commission to help find a rare medicine to cure the sick elf, but because that herb was so scarce, we had to mobilize everyone's strength to help!]
Xiao Gang was already surprised that Leo Lu could type, and took the photo of the herb that Leo Lu took out of his backpack, and his brows furrowed.
"Indeed, if it is the climate of Hualan City, there is a great chance that this herb will grow, and it may really be found. And it's actually Miss Joy's commission, so it's even more obligatory, right, Ash?"
Leolu kept an expression that nothing had happened, but he was already secretly smiling in his heart.
I didn't expect that what he casually pulled out with Yihui actually worked. It's a little embarrassing to fool them, but there's nothing wrong with that. ’
In this way, after Leo Lu gave each of the elves who could carry the photos of the medicine that Sakura had given him when he left, all the people stepped into the forest together.
It has to be said that the forest is really a treasure trove, regardless of the richness of resources for the time being, the quality of the products produced by it alone is also excellent. Yihui followed and opened Leo Road in front of the waveguide, and his eyes were also looking around.
It's been about two hours since everyone was separated, and still nothing has been achieved.
Kazuki took the photo in front of him again and looked at it carefully, for fear of missing any detail and missing the herbs that might appear around.
In order to prevent getting lost, Yihui and Xiaogang agreed that after four hours, regardless of whether there was any harvest or not, they must return to the place where they had gathered.
Seeing that half of the time has passed, if you don't look back, you may miss the agreed time limit. It's a little regrettable, but they have to go back.
"Leo Road, let's go back, don't ......"
Before Ikki could finish what he was about to say, Leolu, who was walking in front, suddenly said that he had fallen down, and covered his mouth tightly with his paws.
Yihui, who was about to ask Leo Lu what was going on and complained, heard someone complaining first.
The footsteps came from far and near, stopping about ten meters away from Ikki and Leo Road. Because of the surrounding bushes, Ikki carefully looked out through the foliage.
It wasn't casual clothes - Ikki could tell that he was dressed in a black cap, brown tunics, black pants, black shoes, and the only thing that showed a different color was the capital "R" sewn on his chest and arms.
'Team Rocket!'
Leo Lu frowned, turned on the waveguide again, and only after confirming that there were no other companions around him did he continue to observe.
The man crouched down, pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his trouser pocket, unfolded it with great difficulty, and pressed it to the ground.
After a while, the depression and unhappiness that had been on the man's face immediately disappeared, and he turned to laughter.
While Ikki was still wondering how he was doing, the man dug through the soil with both hands, pulling out a tender green sprout from it.
"Wait, that's ......" Ikki immediately took the photo to compare it the moment he saw it.
"Sure enough...... That's the medicine they need, but Leolu, why do you want us to hide it? Isn't that weird?"
I'll explain it to you later, all in all, this guy is dangerous and can't be discovered by him. 】
Even if nothing happened in vain, Ikki still chose to believe Leolu.
'How are you going to get that?'
Leo Ru cupped his chin and thought earnestly.
'Hey...... I can only bite the bullet, and it should be no problem to deal with the little minions......
Leaving Ikki here, Leo lowered his body and circled to the other side.
"It's a big deal, I really can't beat it, can't I run away?" Leolu, who thought so, inadvertently raised a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
