Chapter 223: Tattoos

Call~

The fingers on the edge of the pool trembled slightly, and Takumi, who showed a head in the water, looked like he was prostration, his hair was wet and collapsed on his head, and the water and sweat in the pool all contributed to this.

After slowing down in the water for a while, Takumi felt that his body had some strength again, and he climbed up from the pool with difficulty, lying directly on his back on the ground, squinting at the dome of the Hualan Dao Pavilion.

The white dry towel suddenly obscured Takumi's vision, and he sat up completely with the strength of his abdomen, allowing the towel on his face to slide down.

"Why do you want to train with the six-tailed ones today, the six-tailed ones are fine, but you are tired yourself......"

Picking up a dry towel and wiping his hair, Takumi heard Aiye's voice and looked at the six tails who had already completed their physical training, and saw that several Pokémon with relatively small systems were fighting together, and Takumi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"Pokémon's physical fitness is really good! But let's not talk about physical combat Pokémon, so I have to be a trainer who can easily pick up Yukira, right?! ”

Listening to Takuha's somewhat unclear words, Ai Ye tilted her head cutely and asked suspiciously.

"Yukira?"

"Well, a pretty rare Pokémon that usually weighs 72 kilograms......"

Seeing that Ai Ye didn't understand what he was talking about, Takumi didn't care, to put it simply, he opened his arms and waited for the six tails who were facing this side.

The mention of this little guy just now seemed to make it hear, and instead of playing again, he trotted over with the Lada and them.

Embraced the soft six-tails into his arms, and found that the hair on the six-tails was still a little damp, Takumi directly wrapped the six-tails in a towel, and said with a smile while rubbing it.

"When I saw that you only shook your hair after going ashore, I didn't know how to ask Ai Ye for help......"

The squinting Six-Tails looked at Lada, whose hair on his body had already dried off, and suddenly turned his eyes into crescent moons, and his mouth let out a cheerful soft hum, which made the smile on Takumi's face even worse.

While rubbing the body of the six tails, Takumi also took advantage of the situation to arrange the next training, but this training plan had to be temporarily interrupted because of the trainers who challenged the gym.

With the help of the Gotha Duck, the floating board on the water surface was quickly put away, and only a few pieces were left as a decoration for the battlefield according to Peony's request.

Putting away a large number of Pokémon, leaving only Six Tails and Gotha Duck by his side, Takumi turned his head to look at the energetic Peony with some curiosity.

It seemed that Takuha's gaze was a little embarrassed, and Peony rolled his eyes at Takumi, raised his voice a little and asked rhetorically.

"What the hell do you mean by those distrustful eyes!?"

"No, I just think that when I meet the trainer who challenges the gym, you are so combative......"

With a smile on his face and a sentence that seemed to be surprised, he suddenly made Peony jump to his feet, snorted and turned around, and walked towards the position of the gym trainer during the battle, but he still issued his own defense for Takumi's doubts.

"I looked at the other party's registration information, it's just a trainer with two badges, of course I want him to see the strength of the Hualan Dao Gym!"

Glancing at Ai Ye, the two couldn't help laughing.

With Peony's energetic appearance, it is to find confidence in the rookie trainer......

"Come on! Sister Peony! ”

Anyway, it's also very good to get along with the three sisters, although it's funny that a gym trainer needs to find confidence in Meng Xin, but in the final analysis, it's just the three sisters' efforts to not want to fall too far into the prestige of the Hualan Gym......

Hearing Takumi's cheering, Peony also waved his hand to Takumi and Ai Ye, who were already sitting on the sidelines, and then stared intently at the rookie trainer who had been brought in by the staff.

The visitor looked at Takumi and Ai Ye on the sidelines in some surprise, and of course, the main focus was on Gotha Duck and Six Tails.

Obviously, this person didn't expect that there would be onlookers when he challenged the gym, and he didn't know the relationship between Tuohai and Hualan Gym.

"What if this trainer from the Hualan Gym on the other side can't beat me and asks for foreign aid instead? That blue Pokémon looks like it's very strong......"

"If this happens, what if I'm going to protest later? Or go to the Pokémon Center to report it? ”

Thinking about all kinds of things in his head, the trainer who got the two badges stood in the position of the challenger in a daze, listened to the rules of the battle said by Peony in a daze, and then ......

"King Goldfish, use the Horn Strike!"

Boom!

Looking at the rookie trainer who was picked out by Peony, a goldfish king, Takumi couldn't help but cover his face, and even Ai Ye couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"His strength is so weak......"

Looking at the young man's outlook on life being subverted, Takumi knew that this was probably a guy who was rumored to be crooked.

Hualan Daoguan is weak, but it is also relative......

After the unknown name and unknown appearance of the trainer put away the baby ball and left, Peony is one hand held high the treasure ball containing the king of goldfish, and walked towards Takumi and Ai Ye with his head held high.

"How's that, my strength is good, right?!"

Let the Gotha duck lay the training ground on the water again, and seeing Peony's look of 'asking for praise', Takumi also said.

"King Goldfish is well cultivated, and it's more than enough to deal with the kind of trainer just now......"

"Right? I don't know which guys are spreading nonsense outside, saying that our Hualan Daoist Pavilion is the weakest Daoist Gym, and now, eight of the ten people who come to challenge are all arrogant and have a winning look, thinking that they can get the badge no matter what. ”

"If I find out, I'm going to beat them up!"

Ai Ye glanced at Takumi, who looked embarrassed, with a strange expression, and finally kindly did not prepare to expose this 'rumor-monger' guy.

However, Peony only mentioned this casually, looked at the Gotha duck by the water, and then looked at the six tails in Tuohai's arms, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Takuha, why don't you help us guard the Daoist Pavilion these days? In this way, the skill will allow your Pokémon to gain combat experience, and it will also let those guys know that our Hualan Gym is not easy to bully! ”

Ahem~

A mouthful of juice choked in his mouth for a while, and Takumi, who had barely calmed down, looked at Peony speechlessly, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Could it be that I have become the protagonist of a certain scum fandom, triggering the plot of coming to the Hualan Daoist Pavilion to help the sisters guard the Daoist Hall?"

After the joke was revealed, Tuohai motioned for Peony to sit down, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although Peony is older than Xiaoxia, compared with her two older sisters, there are still many immature places in thinking about problems.

"I can't take your place to guard the Gym, it's for everyone's safety."

Facing the puzzled gazes of Peony and Ai Ye, Takumi glanced around and found that even the staff who acted as the referee just now had already left, so he said slowly.

"Believe me, at this time, as long as there are forces in Hualan City that pay attention to the Hualan Dao Pavilion, they will know that I, a disciple of the Light Red Dao Pavilion, have moved in."

"If it's just living and training, it can be explained by the relationship between me and Xiaoxia as friends."

"But if I guard the Dao Pavilion instead of you, it will give them a wrong judgment, thinking that the Light Red Dao Pavilion will support the Hualan Dao Pavilion, so that if it is not good, someone will jump over the wall in a hurry to protect their own interests."

Seeing Peony's stunned expression, a sneer appeared at the corner of Takumi's mouth.

"If the three sisters who are the trainers of the Gym die, then naturally there will be no alliance......

Takuha's words made Peony feel a little cool, and suddenly realized the danger of calming, and also relieved Takuhai, who had finished admonishing him.

Shaking his head, Takumi saw that Gotha Duck had already raised a thumbs up at him, glanced at the training ground that had been set up again, and returned to training.

……

Two days later in the morning.

spent two days in the Hualan Dao Hall peacefully, so that the supersonic bats and Gotha ducks who had been helping to keep watch at night were tired enough.

Takumi, who was a little embarrassed, proposed to take a good rest in the Pork Ball, but even Gotha Duck did not refuse.

However, Tuohai felt that this was very necessary, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case there was a traitor in the Hualan Dao Hall who was trusted by the three sisters, and he happened to find out the plans of the three sisters, he was not prepared, then the fun would be great......

Not only will they lose points on Ah Ju's side, but even Xiaoxia and even Zhiye will be completely guilty.

But fortunately, the cherry blossoms and calamus are very vigilant, and the peony was reminded in advance by Takuha, but it has been safe and stable.

It is estimated that those forces in Hualan City are really just temporarily settled here......

"No, it may be that they have already ignored the Hualan Dao Pavilion, if there is no major incident, I'm afraid they won't pay too much attention to it......"

Silently glancing at the cherry blossoms that followed him after breakfast, Takumi couldn't help but refresh his cognition of the Hualan Gym in his heart, and then said to the cherry blossoms.

"Sister Sakura, I'll go and report to the teacher first, and then you can talk on the phone again, how about it?"

Sakura, who deliberately tied up her blonde hair today, revealed a capable aura all over her body, and naturally nodded in agreement with Takumi's proposal.

Seeing this, Tuohai also flashed into the Hualan Dao Hall, which should be the telephone room used by the three sisters.

However, as soon as he picked up the microphone, a strange feeling rose in Tuohai's heart.

It's as if something bad is going to happen as soon as this call goes out......

His face twitched, and Takumi knew that people would call it 'intuition' for this unprovoked feeling.

Takumi didn't believe in intuition originally, after all, the impression of this thing in Takumi's mind before was actually equated with luck.

However, in this world with Pokémon characteristics, especially after mastering the [Heart Eye (Elementary)], the concept of intuition is truly accepted by Takumi.

And after using up the little bit of [Pure Red Agate] to make his mental power more active, through the exchange price of the 'ability' in the system, Takumi also confirmed that he had strengthened his intuition.

After all, the reduction in the number of points required from [Heart Eye (Elementary)] to (Intermediate) is a fact that Takumi can confirm.

Even Takumi himself guessed that after the mental power reaches a certain level, can he really predict the future fragment, you know, the skill of 'predicting the future' is indeed a skill of the superpower system.

Perhaps those prophecies that have been circulated are the product of 'foreseeing the future'......

But right now, Takumi has no interest in thinking about these things.

With a 'bang' put the microphone back in place, Takumi's gaze scanned the room.

Because it is a telephone room, the surrounding walls, including the ceiling, are smooth, and you can't hide anything unusual at a glance.

Looking at all corners of the room, Takumi, who had found nothing, slowly turned around and stared at the video phone in front of him with burning eyes.

Squatting down suddenly, Takumi, who was looking up at the phone, smiled at the wall under the phone case, which was inexplicably bulging in the same color as the case, and took it off from under the case.

Syllable!

Rubi stomped the bugging device to smash it with a hard kick, and Takumi, who continued to check it for a while, shook his head and picked up the microphone again, the strange feeling just now was gone.

Dialing the phone number of the Light Red Gym, Takumi still had a smile on his face, but he didn't feel a trace of warmth......

"Inner ghost? Interesting......"

However, all thoughts had been hidden before the picture appeared, and looking at Ah Ju, who seemed to be waiting in front of the phone early in the picture, Takumi lowered his head slightly.

"Teacher, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

"Takumi, well done!"

After hearing Takuha's reply, Ah Ju did not hesitate to praise Takuha, and said on the phone in a rare excited tone, which also made Takumi finally come out of the bad mood after discovering the bug.

After reporting this matter to Ah Ju, Ah Ju's expression also became serious.

No longer have too many master-apprentice conversations, but directly talk about the most important things at the moment.

"I have already drawn out the manpower to go to Hualan City, and the person in charge of Hualan City will be your senior sister, that is, Aya."

Seeing Aya who was grimacing at him behind Ah Ju, Takumi was a little speechless in his heart, but he wouldn't say anything against it.

Although Aya's strength may be far behind some of the senior ninjas under Ah Ju, with such a big piece of cake in Hualan City, in the case of Ah Xing's travel, it is natural that Ah Ju's most trusted sister can only be sent over.

"Then teacher, Miss Sakura from the Hualan Dojo is still waiting outside, do you want to ......?"

After seeing Ah Ju nodding, Takumi did not hesitate, and walked directly to the outside of the phone room, signaling that Sakura, who was actually also tasked with preventing others from approaching, answered the phone.

The incense breeze flashed, and as the door of the room behind him closed, Takumi was guarding the door.

It's just that stretching out his right hand behind him in front of him, looking at the baby ball tattoo with a light blue luster on the back of his hand, Takumi's expression at this time has some sighs and some entanglements.
