Chapter 13: An Unexpected Unfolding

After seeing how Ikki "punished Leolu", Yukino pulled Ikki aside and preached it well, making Ikki aggrieved.

"What, it's obviously Leolu's fault, why do you always punish me first......"

Leolu heard Ikki muttering quietly, but didn't do anything, just covered his mouth and snickered.

It's not too early, it's almost time to go.

"Then I'll go with Leo, and I'll take care of Selia!"

Ikki greeted his home, which was already getting farther and farther away, and walked in the direction of Shinshin Town with great interest.

"Isn't there really a need to bring Celia?" asked Kazuki to Leolu, "doesn't she like you so much?"

Leolu shook her head: "It's okay, she also needs time to rest, Celia is not like you, she is a weak girl." If it were you, would you bear to let her follow us like this?"

Leolu's words were speechless, and he could only nod frequently.

When Leolu saw him like this, he said no more.

"Alright, let the little fire horse come out, and don't tell me you want to walk over. ”

Kazuki nodded, took the Poké Ball from his waist and threw it into the air.

"Please, little fire horse!"

It's still the same tall, and even the little fire horse that hasn't evolved has a physique that is not inferior to the evolved type, which looks shocking.

But......

"Kazuki, isn't the little fire horse a little older than before...... It looks taller. ”

Leo Lu looked at the little fire horse, who was very close to Ikki, and said in a cold sweat.

"You've found it all out...... In fact, we met Ash and them during the Orange Islands crisis before, and then Xiao Gang gave Xiao Huo Ma some special elf food, and after a few days I found that it had grown up, and I don't know what Xiao Gang ate for it...... Just don't go wrong. ”

As soon as he heard Xiao Gang's name, Leo Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Gang, who wants to become the world's No. 1 breeder, will never do anything to hurt the elves, no matter how much he says.

But the little fire horse eats something that really makes people care, and if that's the kind of thing, maybe it can also change Leolu's sad situation.

"Why don't you try that elven food...... Leolu muttered to himself.

"Leolu, would you like to try that thing? Then I'll get in touch with Xiao Gang somehow...... I'll take a look, and the nearest elf center is ......"

Seeing that Ichiki, who had already ridden the little fire horse, had opened the map and rummaged through it, Leo Lu hurriedly jumped to the side of the little fire horse, waving his paws vigorously.

"No, no, no, I'm just saying, if I get that big, it should scare people...... Ha ha. ”

Smiling awkwardly, Leolu was anxious about his flamboyant acting skills.

He shouldn't have relied on these things that he didn't know if they had any effect, and improving his strength was not something overnight, the truth had long been clear to him, it was just a momentary ghost puzzle.

If Xiao Gang really had that ability, he wouldn't be able to travel and study until now, and he would have been recorded in history long ago. ’

Kazuki looked at Leo Lu, who was panicking, and shrugged helplessly.

"Well, since you've said so," Anyway, it's impossible to say that there is no tacit understanding between them, and Leolu's thoughts are somewhat known to Ikki, "Then let's go!"

As usual, Leo followed closely, while the little fire horse galloped along the dirt road leading to the countryside with Kazuki.

The first time I came to Dr. Ohki's Institute, Kazuki came in a sea car, and it took almost a whole day. But now when Ikki arrived in the woods on the edge of Shinshin, the sun had just risen overhead.

"Little Fire Horse is also working hard. ”

Leolu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the little fire horses scattered leisurely in the woods.

"Yes, a lot of things happened on our side after you said goodbye at the time, everyone worked hard, and Lu Lili also learned new skills...... As for Zoroa...... "Kazuki looked at the super ball on his waist, "it's surprisingly powerful." ”

Leolu only remembered that he didn't seem to know much about Zoroa's fighting skills except that he knew that Zoroa was clingy, but since Ikki had said that about him, it seemed that they were really lucky......

Although it was good luck at the expense......

"Let's just go over to the two of us, and let the little fire horse have a good time here after a long absence. ”

Leo Lu glanced back at Zhenghuan's little fire horse who was playing in the woods, and agreed with Ikki's decision, but asked curiously, "Why don't you bring it with you?" Maybe Dr. Oki still wants to take a good look at the little fire horse that grows like this. ”

In response to Leolu's question, Kazuki just smiled slightly.

"Rather than playing with strange friends, the little fire horse prefers to find interesting things on his own...... Don't look at me like this, I'm also a good observer!"

As he spoke, the corner of his eye caught Leolu's strange smile, and he looked at him strangely as if he didn't believe his words.

"Forget it, let's just take it as it is. ”

"What do you mean by 'just take it like that', I really know the little fire horse well...... In that case, let's take a good look at Leo Road next time!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Leolu smiled evilly and walked forward.

"Please don't observe me, I'm afraid you'll stay up late waiting for me to get up early in order to do this, if something goes wrong, I can't deal with Xue Nai, haha. ”

Kazuki was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had been fooled, and Leolu was just joking.

"Really, I'm so angry, it looks like I'm going to give you another 'punishment'!"

The feather inexplicably appeared in Kazuki's hand, and he himself chased after Leo Road with heavy steps.

After a long and pointless waste, the two of them finally arrived at the door of Dr. Ohki's research institute.

"It's all Leo's roadway, and we've wasted so much time to get here...... I can come early tomorrow......"

Leo Lu glanced back at Kazuki helplessly: "Okay, okay, I've apologized." Leave this alone, get inside. ”

Although Kazuki still felt unpleasant, he also obediently opened the door to the institute.

It's still the same decoration, and the experimental equipment is also the same layout, the only thing that remains unchanged is the pot where instant noodles are cooking.

"Dr. Ohki still hasn't gotten rid of the problem of indiscriminate use of experimental equipment......

Leo Lu stared wistfully at the steaming pot for a few seconds before calling Kamiki to the inner room. But I hadn't walked long before I saw Dr. Oki walking back and forth between the rooms.

"What to do...... If the boy comes, how am I going to tell him about it?"

Dr. Oki was wandering around, words still in his mouth.

Leo Lu glanced at Kazuki, he didn't seem to hear Oki's words, so Leo Lu tugged at Kazuki's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" asked Kazuki after a pause, turning his head.

"Nothing, just slow you down. Leolu replied perfunctorily.

At this time, Dr. Oki also noticed the arrival of the two of them, and the sadness on his face swept away, but he did not show a smile, but put on the serious face of an elder.

I have to say that it's okay for Dr. Ohki to do nothing, and he suddenly looks at Ikki like this, which inevitably makes this kid feel panicked.

"You're here......"

"Uh...... Well, it wasn't long ago. ”

Dr. Oki nodded, looked down, and stared at Leolu for a moment, but didn't say anything, but turned his back to them and said, "Then, you can come with me." ”

With that, Damu took the lead and walked towards a room.

The rest of Ikki and Leo looked at each other, not knowing what Dr. Ohki was going to do.

"Leolu, can you learn anything with the waveguide?"

"Are you kidding, I don't have much control over that thing in the first place, as for reading what other people are thinking...... It's simply impossible. ”

Kazuki swallowed with difficulty: "That...... It's just a matter of keeping up......"

Even though it felt like things were not easy, since Dr. Ohki himself said so, they had to be prepared and follow up.

"We have arrived, what we want to tell you...... It's never too late to talk about it later. ”

Daki stood in front of a wooden door that was indistinguishable from the others, and held out his hand to signal them to advance.

Although there is no bottom in his heart, it may not be a good thing, but Yihui also has to face it, and he can't afford to back down until now, anyway, there is Leolu with him......

"I didn't ...... Nothing to fear......"

Ikki told himself, closed his eyes and pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Leo.

Daki didn't know what to do outside, and it took a long time before he came back, still with a strong smell of instant noodle seasoning packets.

"Ikki, there's something I have to tell you," Oki said solemnly as he sat down on a folding chair as he pretended not to look like he had just finished eating instant noodles.

"So...... What's the matter?"

Oki was silent, as if hesitating whether to say it or not. It was a long time before he looked at Kazuki again.

"Kazuki, I'm going to take back your elven illustrated book. You're carrying it with you now, right?"
