63. It's okay to call me Xiaoxiang

"Ghost, I don't see it, you're pretty reliable sometimes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut you've always been a shadow, how can you give up today? Hearing that the ghosts knew where the steel was, Ash couldn't help but tease.

The ghost glanced at Ash resentfully, "I've been forgotten by you several times, okay, the most recent one was the time in Charizard Valley, you didn't take me with you for teleportation, it took me half a day to find you." In fact, I have been forgotten by you many times more than once, and if I don't show my presence again, you will definitely forget my existence completely. ”

Ash and Nazi glanced at each other, and unconsciously agreed with the ghost's idea, because they had almost forgotten about the ghost. Looking at the ghost in embarrassment, Ash was a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, we apologize to you, please forgive us for our mistakes." ”

Ghost Si glanced at Ash who bowed deeply, and most of the unhappiness in his heart dissipated, "Okay, I forgive you, come with me." ”

Hearing Ghost's forgiveness, Ash breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Nazi to quickly follow.

"Wait, wait a minute." Just as Ash and the others were about to go to Mr. Steel's side, a young girl chased after them, "Are you going to Mr. Steel?" Please take me with you. ”

Looking at the panting girl, Ash had some doubts, but when he thought that Mr. Steel was so famous for making balls, this doubt was forgotten. "Do you want to visit Mr. Steel, too?"

"Yes, I'm going to execute somewhere else... I'm traveling, and I'd like to buy some special Poké Balls from Mr. Steel before I leave, but I don't know the way, so I'd like to ask you to take me with me. By the way, my name is Beibing Yaxiang, and it's okay to call me Xiaoxiang. ”

"My name is Ash, and this is my partner, Nazi. Since you're here, keep up. After saying that, Ash pulled Nazi and followed the ghost, and the girl named Xiaoxiang hurriedly followed.

Arriving at the steel house, an old man with white hair and a little girl were quietly drinking tea at the door. Walking into the courtyard, Ash respectfully asked, "Are you Mr. Steel?" ”

The old man put down the teacup and glanced at Ash strangely, "I am, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"My name is Ash and I'm from True New Town. I wanted to learn more about Pokéball-making, so Dr. Oki recommended that I come to you here. ”

"Oh Aki, in that case, you can stay. Are the other two girls too? Steel agrees to Ash to stay, and then looks at the other two girls.

"This is Nazi, she's my travel companion. The other one is called Xiaoxiang, and she wants you to make a special ball. ”

Nodding, Steel stood up, "In that case, then you can come to me after you have picked enough mandarin fruits, without mandarin fruits, you don't have to talk about all your affairs." Speaking of this, Steel looked at his granddaughter, "Qianhui, you take them to the back mountain to collect mandarin fruits, be careful." ”

……

Walking on the road, Xiao Xiang couldn't help but be a little strange, "Why do we have to go to the back mountain to collect mandarin fruits, what does collecting fruits have to do with special balls?" After saying that, Xiao Xiang looked at Xiao Zhi suspiciously, and so did Nazi.

"As far as I know, mandarin fruit is an essential material for special balls, and special balls can only be made from mandarin fruit, so if we don't have mandarin fruit, then our request is all for nothing. I'm right, Chie-chan. ”

At first, Chie was surprised that Ash was able to know the effect of the mandarin fruit, but when Ash said 'sauce', the surprise instantly turned to anger. "I've grown up, stop calling me sauce, especially if we're not acquainted."

"Uh" was said by Chie, and Ash was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly recovered with a deep skin. "Although I know the main material of the special ball of the mandarin fruit, I don't remember that I said that I want to learn how to make balls, I just said that I want to know about it."

"My grandfather's knowledge is reflected in practice, and there is no written record at all, so if you want to understand, you can learn it yourself. Hum. Glancing at Ash with disdain, Chie took the lead and walked away.

I'll go, won't I just call it a 'sauce', as for it? Looking at Qianhui's appearance as a little adult, Ash was instantly embarrassed. And Xiao Xiang and Nazi laughed secretly, and even Pikachu was already twitching his tail.

When they came to the back mountain and looked at the mountains full of mandarin fruit trees, Ash was shocked.

"It's a mandarin fruit, but to make a Poké Ball, you have to use ripe mandarin fruit, and the fruit of this tree is not ripe, so you can't pick it. And even if the fruit is ripe, you can't pick too much at once, otherwise the mandarin tree will die. ”

Looking at Qianhui who was talking eloquently, Xiaoxiang couldn't help but admire: "Qianhui knows a lot, she really deserves to be the granddaughter of Mr. Steel." ”

Hearing Xiaoxiang's praise, Qianhui couldn't help but be triumphant.

Coming to a mandarin tree full of yellow fruits, Chie said happily: "The fruit of this tree is ripe, you can pick it, but you can't pick too many, three is at most." ”

Ash nodded, picked three and stopped. Everyone was very happy when the fruit was successfully picked, and just when everyone was happy, the sound of beeping instantly pulled everyone's mood to the bottom.

"It's a big needle bee swarm, everyone run." Chie screamed and ran with all her legs. It's just that Chie feels like she hasn't moved her position no matter how much she runs. Chie turned around to find herself being pulled by Ash's collar, while a large needle bee was lying on the ground, and a chicken-like Pokémon was happily running around Ash.

"Strong Chicken, I didn't expect you to have Pokémon from the Fangyuan region." Recognizing the strong chicken, Xiao Xiang said in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's some big-mouthed apology, and at the same time a reserve player for my trump card. I just learned to spray flames a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today. But it's amazing that you can recognize it, and it's just a different insight for people who are going to travel to other regions. ”

Hearing Ash's words, Xiao Xiang smiled embarrassedly.

After this incident, everyone became cautious in the subsequent actions. After all, the big needle bee is a Pokémon, and if it can be provoked, it will not be provoked. In this way, after picking a dozen fruits of different colors, everyone went back happily, but Ash was not very happy.

"Hey, why don't you help me get a few, I can't take it alone."

Who knew that Qianhui turned her head and made a grimace at Ash, "You're a big boy, are you embarrassed to ask us girls to take things?" ”

"I'm only 11 years old, I'm the youngest except for you, so I'm not a big boy." Hearing Chie's words, Ash reluctantly argued.

Who knew that Qianhui ignored him, but turned around and asked Nazi and Xiaoxiang, "Sister Nazi, Sister Xiaoxiang, how old are you?" ”

"5 years old." "4 years old"

“……”

Well, what can Ash still say, continue to reason with a bunch of girls? Don't be funny, even an iceberg like Nazi is unreasonable, and if you continue, it's not reasonable, it's called death.

Back in the courtyard, Steel was still sitting there drinking tea. "I'm back, the young man has good health." Seeing that Ash came back alone with a dozen mandarin fruits, Steel unceremoniously praised Ash, "But although boys should pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor, they must also do what they can." ”

Well, Ash admits that when he heard Mr. Steel's first sentence, he was still a little proud in his heart, but when he heard the second sentence, Ash wanted to scold his mother, do you think I'm happy.

"Come with me, I'll make it for you now, but if you need it urgently, you can exchange three mandarin fruits for two special balls. If you want to wait for me to do that much, you have to wait at least three days. ”

"It's okay, my trip is not in a hurry, I'd better wait for three days, then I'll be bothered for the past few days." Hearing the words of steel, Xiao Xiang said indifferently.

Hearing Xiao Xiang say this, Steel nodded and led everyone towards the production room.

"Hey, it's just a few steps, help me get a few." Seeing that everyone was gone, Ash hurriedly called.

"That's right, it's just a few steps, you can do it yourself, you've walked so many roads, do you still care about these steps?" Chie walked in front and said with a relaxed expression.

Now that Ash knows what it means to be 'the ancients don't deceive me', I'd rather offend villains than women, and now Ash doesn't even dare to offend little girls.

Finally getting all the fruits to the crafting room, Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he wanted to rest, the voice of steel came, "Ash, you come to see me make balls, different balls have different production methods, you have to take a good look." I won't teach you any theory, if you can learn to make a ball by observing, I'll teach you the follow-up theory. ”

"Isn't it, shouldn't it be theoretical first, then practical?

Steel glanced at Ash, "I'm just going to test your understanding and see if you're qualified to be my disciple." ”

I don't think I said I wanted to be his disciple, why is there such a big gap between reality and my own thoughts? Ash roared unwillingly in his heart.

Three days later, Xiao Xiang had already changed the special ball. "I didn't expect that we would be separated not long after we met, and I don't know when we will meet again, but I am really tall to be able to meet you, goodbye to you." After packing up his things, Xiao Xiang was already ready to leave, but just as Xiao Xiang walked out of the door, Xiao Xiang turned around and said, "Xiao Zhi, I'm fourteen years old this year!" ”

"Huh?"

ps: It's not that I don't want to do more, but as an older brother, how can I be embarrassed to grab a computer with my sister? And my relatives have already come back, cousins, cousins, whatever, they have to grab the computer, it's really not easy for me to get the right to use it at night.

ps2: I browse book reviews every day, and I want to cry when I look at those reviews from a few days ago.
