Chapter Twenty-Four: Hualan City (Merry Christmas!)

After a long journey, the four of them finally stood at the entrance of Hualan City - wait, why four?

"Ikki, are you also here to challenge the Hualan City Gym?" said Ash to Ikki walking behind the three of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

That's right, Yihui also followed them to Hualan City.

Three days have passed since that hard battle, and Xiao Gang's father has also taken full control of Xiao Gang's younger siblings, so Xiao Gang has also begun to embark on the path of pursuing his dreams. Leo Lu lay in bed for three days until this morning, when he finally regained his vitality. Before that, he spent it lying on Ikki's shoulders, and he wasn't heavy anyway, and Ikki didn't feel any burden, at most he just took an extra Leo Lu backpack.

But the medicine in this world is really magical, just rub the good wound medicine on the wound, and the pain begins to relieve quickly, and it is almost better in just one day.

Leolu took the illustrated book, rummaging through the information he wanted.

"Hualan City...... By the way, I seem to remember something!" Before Yihui could answer, Xiao Gang reacted first.

"Huh, what's the matter?" Ash turned his head to Gang with excitement on his face. Jean Kazuki, who was about to answer him, sighed.

'Does he have a battle in his head......

Seeing this, Leolu couldn't help but chuckle. Ikki, who noticed him, immediately glanced at him, and the latter continued to look at the illustrated book in his hand as if nothing had happened.

"Uh-huh...... Look at this!" Xiao Gang took out the leaflet that Zeng Jin had put in casually from his bag and held it up in front of everyone.

"Hualan City has a famous Hualan Gym, and besides, this leaflet says that a water ballet will be held in the near future!"

"Wow! really, let's go over and have a look...... Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you?"

After Ash said this, everyone's eyes shifted to Xiaoxia, who was pretending to look at the scenery on the side. Noticing the strange gazes from everyone, Xiaoxia could only reluctantly smile and waved her hand in a panic.

"I'm fine, but can we find a place to live first? Since there is going to be a show, there will definitely be a lot of people to visit, what if all the places where we can stay are robbed by others? ”

After speaking, Xiaoxia came to the two of them, and then used all her strength to push the two of them forward.

"Xiaoxia, you're very strange today. ”

"Whatever there is, it must be your delusion...... Oh, yes, I think there's a nice shop around here! Let's go there first!"

Xiaoxia's thinking has begun to be confused, and she is afraid that if she continues to consume like this, she will definitely be exposed.

[What should I do?Do you want to go together?]

Facing Kazuki, who was standing there thinking about something, Leolu held up the illustrated book.

"Hmm...... Hey, well, anyway, there are still two days before the preview time, so let's relax and relax today!"

That's right, Ikki came here only to see the performance of the legendary Hualan City Gym, and the challenge was only a second consideration.

[Then let's keep up.] 】

"Wait, I suddenly remembered something, I want to go to the Elf Center first, or why don't you go with them first?" Ikki paused in his footsteps and said to Leo Lu with a wry smile.

[No need, I'll follow you. 】

Let's not talk about whether Yihui can protect himself by himself, just in such a big Hualan City, how can he find himself?

"Alright, let's go, then. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

"Yihui, have you taken care of yourself, your mother has always been worried about you, although your father has always told me not to worry, but as a child's mother, how can you not worry about your child......"

Ikki's purpose here is to talk to Yukino, calculate the time, it's been a long time, if she doesn't call her again, she will definitely find it herself.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm not a kid anymore, and I've already earned my first badge, you see!"

Ikki unzipped his jacket and pointed the gray badge on the inside at the camera.

"Uh-huh! Ikki is the best, I knew you could do it! Mom will always support you. ”

When Yukino said these words, he seemed to faintly hear something like "Daddy is also fully supporting you!" from the sea in the back room.

"It's all thanks to Leolu!"

Kazuki leaned down and lifted Leolu, who was still pressing the Pokédex button. But being suddenly lifted like this, he looked at Yukino's face on the screen, and didn't know what to do.

"Wow! Leolu is getting more and more cute, ahhh......h It's a pity. ”

The moment Yukino saw Leolu, the worried expression was immediately transformed into a happy smile by the feeling of holding Leo Lu in his memory, and then turned into loss.

"Oulu!"

With a symbolic call, Leo Lu waved to the camera.

Yukino really has no resistance to this stuff at all. ’

"I'm going to find my friends, hang up first. ”

"Well, remember to call often!"

Hanging up the phone, Ikki left the Genie Center.

As soon as I went out, a gust of wind blew.

"It's strange, it's not like it's going to rain, why is it starting to blow so hard now?"

After that, they didn't pay too much attention and hurriedly ran in the direction where Ash and the three of them left.

Hualan City is a famous water-based city, no matter where it is, large or small fountains or pools will be built, and most of the wild elves that can be found in this vicinity also have water attributes.

"Ikki!

In the center of Hualan City, there is a fountain square, although it does not occupy a huge area, but it still gathers many shops, so it has become a place where people gather.

Still far away, Xiaoxia stood up and waved her arms, signaling Yihui, who was still looking left and right.

Where they were, a mobile shop selling crepes, the owner had built a few small chairs with improvised tools and placed parasols next to them to enjoy the fountain in the square while eating food.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoxia, it's not wrong that you live in Hualan City. ”

Xiao Gang read the flyer he had just received, and suddenly remembered what Xiao Xia had mentioned.

"Right...... yes, how...... What's wrong?"

"I just went to check and the hotels around here are full of tourists...... By the way, did you just go to the Elf Center, and how is it going?"

Taking a bite of the freshly baked crepe in his hand, Yihui, who was immersed in the deliciousness of the crepe, was suddenly asked by Xiao Gang, and quickly wiped the spice that inevitably stained his mouth with a tissue.

"I didn't ask Miss Joy there, but there are a lot of people there right now, and if the inns around here are all full, then the Elf Center should be no exception. ”

"Really...... Then there is only one way. ”

Xiao Gang and Yihui set their eyes on Xiao Xia, who was still munching on the crepe.

"What are you doing staring at people like this......"

"We're thinking, if we don't have a place to live, then we can only ask Xiaoxia, who lives in Hualan City. ”

Kazuki nodded in agreement.

"Although it's not wrong for me to live in Hualan City, I don't have that many rooms for you!"

"It doesn't matter, even if we sleep on the ground, it's much better than sleeping on the streets, you say yes, Yihui. ”

"Well, that's right. ”

"But...... But ......"

Xiaoxia desperately wants to find some reason to prevaricate, but no matter how hard she tries, there is no good way.

"Okay, don't say no, we won't trouble you! ”

"But...... Forget it, if you lose to you, I promise you. ”

It would be nice if the problem of the accommodation could be easily solved, and Kazuki turned to Leolu, who was cleaning the hair and spiced it, and said, "You have to rest for a few days, just tell me if there is anything inconvenient." ”

After all, the damage caused by that battle with Wu Neng was not a joke, and it made people shudder just by looking at it. Leolu had already told him that he was fine, but Kazuki insisted on letting him rest more.

'Forget it, let him be, it's not a bad thing to rest for a few days. ’

Leo Lu threw the tissue into the trash, turned and jumped off the table, leaning next to Ikki and continuing to pick up the book.

As for Ash and Pikachu, who haven't spoken all the time...... The three of them were already speechless for them.

"Boss!

To Ash and Pikachu, who had already been confused by crepes, the three of them let out a long sigh.

In retrospect, Ash, who disappeared after the match with Wuneng at the time, actually didn't come back until close to the evening, and Bobo also evolved into Bibi Bird. He doesn't say anything to him, God knows what happened to him.

――――――――――――――――――――

Somewhere in Hualan City, Xiaoxia's home.

"Wow, Xiaoxia, it turns out that you live in such a luxurious place!"

Facing the overwhelming atmospheric building, Xiao Gang couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I'm usually very low-key, but who told you to insist on coming!"

Xiaoxia shrugged her shoulders, as if Ash and Gang in front of her now were like countrymen who had never seen the world.

"Then why did you just say that there are no vacant rooms, obviously such a big house, there should be a lot of rooms!"

Xiaoxia, who was suddenly stunned by Xiao Gang's words, had to smile awkwardly.

"There are a lot of reasons for this, it's not that I don't want to lend you ......."

Xiaoxia's voice became smaller and quieter, and in the end, only she could hear it.

Blue is the main color of the house, after all, it is a user of the water elf, and it is not surprising that he likes blue. However, it is indeed another thing for Ikki to care.

"Xiaoxia, how are your sisters?"

With Xiaoxia's consent, Yihui casually opened the doors of several rooms, and all that caught his eye were cosmetics and girlish decorations that only girls use.

Leo Lu, who was held in Yihui's arms, didn't feel strange, after all, only he knew about Xiaoxia's family now, but he didn't plan to say it, anyway, since he was going to challenge the gym, Yihui would know sooner or later.

In this way, after Xiaoxia's busyness, everyone finally settled down, but ......

"Xiaoxia, you are very eccentric, why only Yihui can sleep on the bed, we have to sleep on the ground!"

When Ash saw Kazuki lying on the bed in one of the bedrooms, he ran over to find Kasumi with a dissatisfied face.

"Ichiki is so clean, of course you can sleep in bed, you two are so dirty, I don't want you to stain my house. ”

"Hmm......"

Sitting on the bed and listening to the movement coming from the door, Ikki smiled bitterly. Since it was Xiaoxia's arrangement, he didn't talk too much. Turning around, he looked at Leo Lu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You've been watching it for almost a day, what are you looking at, Leo Road?"

[It's okay, I'm just looking at the elf information we've met so far, do you want to use it?]

Leo Lu handed the illustrated book to Ikki. Kazuki shook his head, gently pushed the book back, and flipped out of bed to get his backpack.

【Where are you going?】

Seeing that Ikki was about to leave, Leo Lu hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran to him.

"I just want to go around and see if there's anything worth buying, so you can take a good rest, and let's go see the so-called Hualan Dao Hall together tomorrow." ”

Picking Leo up and putting him back on the bed, Kazuki walked out of the bedroom with his backpack on his back.

'This kid's worry is really a bit too much, forget it, go ahead and take a look, and make some preparations. ’

Ikki came to the hall, said hello to Xiaoxia and walked out.

'Okay, let's think about what I want to buy first. Well...... Good wound medicine should be prepared a little, insect repellent spray...... Forget it, Leo Lu doesn't like it, let's prepare some more food, I haven't touched fruit or anything for a long time......"

Ikki walked along the road while thinking, not noticing the white objects falling from the sky, until a piece fell into Ikki's collar, which pulled Ikki, who had a shopping list in his head, back to reality.

Looking at the white flakes that kept falling in front of him, he looked up at the sky again and chuckled.

"It turns out that it's snowing......"

――――――――――――――――――――

ps:Timeline changes.,The next chapter is the Christmas chapter.,A lot of words!Although I said that the special has nothing to do with the main plot line.,But in the end it was put into the story.,But it doesn't have any impact.,Just enough to promote the plot.。 Ask for collections, ask for comments, ask for recommended tickets!!!

PS2: Why don't these words be put in [Author's Words]? The reason is simple: the mobile version does not have this section!

PS3: Let me explain the meaning of punctuation:

""Double quotation marks represent what the character says;'' single quotation marks represent the thoughts of the character, and [] represents the words written by the character or typed on an electronic display or other object.'' So pay attention to whether it's a single quotation mark or a double quotation mark.,I don't know if the computer version can be displayed and obvious.,Anyway, the mobile version is not too difficult to distinguish.,Sorry (*∩_∩*)
