In the summer heat, the shade of the trees had to give way to the scorching sun and shrink their cover. The earth had absorbed enough heat that the air near the ground was a little distorted.

There are almost no tourists on the road, even the trainers who used to be rain or shine in the past, they are not seen resting in the shade of small trees, and without their fearless and energetic faces, this summer day is even more dull.

Sato's face was pressed against the stone table, and the coolness of the stone swished to the bone. A little uplifted, then overwhelmed by decadence and laziness.

It's a terrible feeling to say goodbye...... Hey? Why did Sister Lijia come? Before Lijia arrived, the fragrance on her body first penetrated Sato Mo's nose.

"Momo, give~"

"Huh?"

Lijia put a bowl of plum soup in front of Sato Mo, a white porcelain bowl, the soup was purple and red, and the clear ice cubes in the bowl swayed slightly, and when it collided with the bowl wall, there was a crisp sound.

Picking up the plum soup, Sato Mo raised his head and poured it, the action was bold and atmospheric, and the cold and sweet plum soup was wrapped in heat, and rushed into the stomach together with laziness.

Sato Mo exhaled a big gulp of turbidity, carefully put the bowl on the table, and almost fell on it: "Huha-cool!" One more bowl! ”

Lijia took a sip and glanced at Sato Mo: "The kitchen has it, go get it yourself!" Remember to take more~"

“...... Oooh! ”

Sato Mo ran to the kitchen with a cigarette, and after a while, Sato Mo was holding a big bowl... A big pot... Anyway, a lot of plum soup came over with a dada.

Lijia chuckled, shook her head, and sat in the pavilion with Amu Sato.

While the two were talking and laughing, the plum soup in Sato Mo's hand had unconsciously gone halfway, and Sato Mo was now shaking his body slightly, and he could hear the gurgling sound in his stomach.

Ink Sato snorted.

"Ugh! ......”

Sato Mo hiccups while looking directly at Lijia, Lijia is very unusual today, she actually has time to chat with herself, and she should usually deal with those endless challengers in the gym.

Lijia subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, and then glared back fiercely: "What do you think I do?" ”

Ink Sato: "Eh-that, there are not many challengers today~"

Lijia: "Huh? yes, how do you know? ”

Momo Sato: "Because, the 'smell' on your body is quite similar to mine, a 'leisure' smell." ”

"Thought I was you! I... I—" Halfway through speaking, Lijia realized that she had indeed been idle lately, "What's wrong with me?" It's just a few days of leisure all year round! What's the matter, do you still have an opinion? ”

"Good rest! Look at it, you've been tired lately, Sister Lijia, you've lost weight! ”

Lijia glanced at Moto Sato, who was massaging herself, expressionlessly, and pouted: "Poof, tiredness and sore shoulders don't seem to matter, right?" ...... Eh, the left point, with a little force! ”

"Oooh!"

Twisting her sore neck, Lijia smiled: "Recently, the main hall owners have been full of 'idle' smell, or they are too busy to touch the ground. Obviously, I'm the former. ”

Ink Sato: "??? ”

Lijia asked in surprise, "You...... I don't know? ”

What do you know? Sato Mo looked confused.

Lijia: "September 1st of this year is the opening day of the Quartz Alliance! I don't believe there are any people in this world who don't know about this! ”

Seeing Sato Mo's MB with a capital letter, Lijia was slapped in the face at the speed of light, okay, there is one in front of her.

"Oh, yes, you were only 4-5 years old when it was held last time..... Lijia patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Today, my sister will give you some common sense, lest you let others watch the jokes of the Rainbow Gym after you go out!" Quartz Alliance is ......"

The Quartz Alliance is the oldest, most authoritative, and grandest pokemon tournament in the Kanto region, and is held on the Quartz Plateau. In order to give the trainers enough time to grow and accumulate, the senior management of the alliance finally decided to hold a quartz alliance competition every three years, and the time of each time was set for September 1.

The Quartz League is the stage that all trainers who are on the path of trainers want to be on, and according to the normal path, only trainers with at least 8 badges will be allowed to participate in the qualifiers.

Trainers who pass the qualifiers have the opportunity to show their heads on the stage of the Quartz League.

Ink Sato: "Oh oh oh——!!! ”

Lijia smiled and patted him: "For some reason, I didn't want to participate this year...... I haven't participated in it either~"

Ink Sato: "Huh? Sister Lijia, can you also participate? No way? Wouldn't your opponent be desperate! ”

On the battlefield of the Quartz Alliance, there are no additional identities such as "Gym Master", "Novice", etc., everyone is the same, they are just trainers, and they are all fighting for honor!

Lijia was amused when she heard this, and nodded with a smile: "I'm very happy to hear you say that~"

"Of course, it's all because of Sister Lijia's strong strength, so no one will come to challenge! I must choose a better chance in a limited time~"

Sato Mo felt that he had discovered the reason why Lijia was idle.

Lijia: "......"

Ah! No matter how you listen to this, you feel comfortable! Why didn't I find out before, Momo Sato is so good at talking.

"Ahem, it's a little wrong~ Because after the owner of the gym gets serious, it's quite difficult to deal with. Especially in the face of the trainer who picked the "soft persimmon" before the game, see that I don't beat him so much that I don't even recognize my home! ”

In fact, there is another reason, because of Lijia's own personality, compared with other gym owners, the Rainbow Gym is quite friendly to novices. So, the rainbow badge should be there, and those who don't dare not come, you don't want your elf to challenge the Quartz Alliance with a dark wound!

Grandma Chiharu is a temperamental person!

Recalling Grandma Chiharu's kind face, Sato Mo swallowed: "...... What did Grandma do? ”

Lijia shrugged her shoulders and sneered, "Who knows! ...... If you dare to put me last, you'll see! ”

Takeshi Sato: "Huh? ”

Lijia: "Ah......hhhh You're not going to challenge the Quartz Alliance? ”

Takeshi Sato: "Of course I do, it's a stage that the world will pay attention to!" It's just that...... I can't even beat you when you release water. ”

Thinking of this, Sato Mo was a handful of bitter tears, and Lijia occasionally came in a mood, so she carried Sato Mo into the battle arena! During this time, I was bullied by Lijia,

Hehe, release the water? Lijia can swear that she did let the elf suppress her strength to the same level as Sato Mo, but she is very serious!

After all, there are too many bells and whistles in Sato Mo's moves, and many Lijia are surprised when they see it, especially Dandan's move, although he is not skilled at all, but it is really interesting.

Lijia was silent for a while, and grinned: "Believe it or not, when I fight you, I am very serious...... I hate crushing games, it's super boring! ”

Sato Mo: "Then how much strength did you use?" ”

Lijia: "20%, probably~"

Sato Mo was in tears when he said this, and Lijia pulled his cheek funny: "Let's aim for the championship!" ”

Ink Sato: Woo-woo - I'm not playing!

"Aim for the championship so you can go further, after all, challenging the Quartz League is just the starting point! And collecting eight badges and then participating in the qualifiers of the Quartz League, that's the goal of many trainers, it's their end! ”

"What an end, a starting point, it's so troublesome!!"

Lijia stroked Mo's cheek and said softly, "To put it simply, if you can't even pass the qualifiers of the Quartz Alliance... If you really can't even pass the budget contest...... Forget it, it's so hard to say cruel words~ I'm still not very good at threatening others, so I'll just say it. ”

Sato Mo's legs are about to shake into a sieve, and the threat of not saying cruel words is even more terrifying! "Sister Lijia, don't worry! Whether it's a budget game or something else, I'll show you! ”

"Don't force yourself~"

"Not reluctantly, not reluctantly!"

"Well, that's good~~"

Although Li Jia said that she would not threaten others, she also had to make Sato Mo believe it! Whether you believe it or not, Sato Mo doesn't believe it anyway!
