"I'm sorry, but is this Dr. Ohki's research institute?"

A person's voice came from outside the door, but since the door of the institute was made of special soundproofing materials, even if Ikki and the others were not far from the door, they couldn't even tell if the other party was male or female.

"At this time...... Who could it be?"

Seeing that Damu who came out of the house in a hurry was also full of doubts, Ikki became even more curious about who the people outside were.

Masaki stayed in the Orange Islands to do research at the time, so I heard Dr. Oki say that he hadn't returned to Kanto until now, and it was even more impossible for Yuto and Ima, the two of them didn't know where they were after that incident, and they couldn't come to him at this point in time.

However, the mystery was revealed quickly, and it was also beyond the expectations of Ikki and Leolu.

Damu opened the door, but was suddenly amazed by the figure in front of him.

"You...... Hello, please, what are you looking for me?"

The girl in front of her didn't answer immediately, but asked Dr. Ohki to wait for a while, took out a photo from her bag, and her eyes scanned back and forth between the photo and Dr. Ohki's face, and finally confirmed Ohki's identity. But it did make him a little embarrassed by the world-famous doctor.

The girl bowed slightly to Da Mu and said with a smile: "That's the case, my father asked me to give you this thing for everything, please measure its value," In the middle of speaking, the girl suddenly lowered her voice, leaned forward slightly, and wanted to lean into Dr. Da Mu's ear and say: "But please keep it mysterious, don't announce it to the public, when the work is over, my father will give you the corresponding reward!"

As soon as the girl's words were finished, Dr. Oki was pushed away from behind, and the girl didn't have much surprise, but asked naturally, "Doctor, what's wrong with you?"

Ikki and Leolu, who came out from behind Oki who were completely ignored, didn't care about her ignorance, anyway, the two of them couldn't be clearer about this girl's personality.

"Sister Hua Ling!"

The reunion of old friends is always full of emotion, not to mention that Hua Ling herself is also the kind of likable character, but this kind of character is too natural and needs more attention in many cases......

That's right, the guest who arrived was none other than the elven apothecary that Yuto had only heard from Yuto after the separation.

At this time, Hua Ling noticed the two of them, and a friendly smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, why are you here? Isn't there a gym competition?"

"Uh...... It's long over, and now we're going to go to the Johto area. By the way, Sister Hua Ling, what are you doing now? Are you still traveling?"

Hua Ling put her fingers against her lower lip for a long time in contemplation before she slowly spoke: "I've been helping to research new drugs at home recently, and I have only completed it since yesterday, and I don't know what to do next~"

Hearing Hua Ling's answer, Yihui also excitedly invited: "Then do you want to go to the Johto area with us?"

Hua Ling was stunned: "Chengdu?ah!"

She suddenly screamed as if she had thought of something terrible.

"After you said this, I remembered that there are still important things to be done, so let's go first!"

So, Hua Ling, who had just met not long ago, fled in a panic.

"Ikki, what's going on with her?"

Da Mu rubbed his waist and walked over slowly, looking at Hua Ling, who was walking in a hurry, he felt incredible.

“…… I don't know, but then again, isn't her target you, Doctor? I just happened to meet her. ”

Kazuki looked at the box that Hua Ling had just carefully handed over to Oki, and made a gesture towards Leo Road beside him.

Leo Lu looked at the box with some embarrassment, but finally shook his head.

"It's good to be curious, but it's not good to be too curious, and it's not good to do it because it's someone else's privacy......"

Leo Lu expressed his frustration at Ikki's request. He's not a pervert who likes to peek into his privacy after all, even if he has the ability to do so now.

Daki finally came to his senses, stuffed the box into the big pocket that had been swollen, and walked to the laboratory with his head in his arms.

"It seems that what Hua Ling gave him is also extraordinary. ”

Leolu muttered to himself, but it didn't escape Kazuki's ears.

"Yes, but Leolu doesn't cooperate. Forget it, let's not dwell on this, let's go back to Sister Nazi quickly!"

Leo Lu could tell that Ikki was in a good mood, so there was nothing wrong with being a little childish, and traveling wasn't easy anyway, and once you started a routine like this, it was almost over. Just like when he returns to the forest, he will completely relax and show a different side from usual.

The only one who had a hard time in the past two days was the little fire horse, although it didn't show any discomfort, it was still just as energetic, but Ikki still insisted on letting it go back to the Poké Ball to rest, and started walking about two kilometers away from Golden City. Celia felt that it didn't matter, she could still persist in hiking like this, and for herself, it was a kind of exercise for not exercising all year round. But if she had to say that, Zoroa, who was imprisoned in her arms and kept trying to run out, would have become a big burden.

But...... Selia's presence seems to be a bit low, and everyone except for people like Kazuki and Leolu who are more familiar with her will subconsciously ignore her.

The sky was the same color as the flames of the fire dinosaurs, and even the leaves on both sides of the road reflected the bright light of fire, and this ordinary path looked magnificent after being in it.

Kazuki looked up at the burning sky and slowed down.

"Leolu, do you remember before the fire dinosaurs evolved?"

Leo Lu looked up at Ikki, "Remember, what's wrong?"

"I feel like time flies so fast, as if I've come to this point unconsciously. The little fire dragon evolved into a fire dinosaur, and along the way, he also subdued many companions, and also met Selia, which always felt very incredible. ”

Under such a sunset scene, it seems that people can easily sigh with emotion.

Leo Lu nodded: "Yes, time always passes unconsciously, and only continuous encounters can harvest new things, this is travel." ”

Seeing that one person and one elf were like this, Selia, who had never discussed with them before, also walked over quickly: "...... Well, brother, what I said...... That's right. ”

Although Selia only said such a sentence, it was enough to make Leolu and Ikki smile knowingly.

"Eh, that's right!" Ikki suddenly slapped his palms sideways and said excitedly to Leolu, "In that case......

Leo Lu was taken aback, and took a step back and subconsciously kept his distance from Ikki.

"Why are you so surprised, ......"

"No, I'm sorry...... Oh, don't get away from the conversation!" Ikki rushed over this time and lifted Leo Lu up, he really didn't know what to do.

"I just remembered when I mentioned the fire dinosaur, Leolu, do you want to try that ......"

Leo Lu looked at Ikki who raised himself and saw that little stars were about to pop up in his eyes, even if he wanted to ask Selia for help, this little girl couldn't do anything, it seemed that Ikki had to take the initiative to let him down.

"I would venture to ask, which one do you want to try?"

"That's it—that [evolution]!"

"Clam ???"
