Chapter 219: Hualan Dao Pavilion

"The wonderful underwater ballet performance of the three sisters of Hualan Beauty will start at 2 pm tomorrow, so don't miss it!"

"At that time, ten people will be selected from the audience to get autographs from the three beautiful sisters!"

“……”

Passing through pedestrian streets, squares, parks and other places with high traffic, Takumi and Ai Ye could almost hear similar propaganda sounds, and they also took the leaflet sent by a propagandist.

Staring at the three beautiful women in gorgeous swimsuits on the flyer for a few seconds, the flyer in Takumi's hand was snatched away by Ai Ye.

"Wow~ so beautiful!"

Listening to Ai Ye's exclamation, Takumi shrugged his shoulders and said with a slight smile.

"If you're interested, we'll check it out tomorrow!"

"But aren't you going to challenge the Gym tomorrow?"

Hearing Takumi's unexpected invitation, Ai Ye had a look of joy on his face, but he couldn't help but ask.

Takumi took the initiative to invite her to watch the underwater ballet, which completely broke Ai Ye's previous perception of Takuhai.

In Ai Ye's memory, even if Tuohai was repairing in the city, in addition to buying various supplies, he was more lazy in bed, exuding a lazy atmosphere.

took the initiative to come out to watch the show, or invited her to join her, this is really the first time!

"Ale? Didn't I tell you? These three are the gym trainers of the Hualan Gym, performing or something, it's just their side business...... Probably. ”

Thinking of the performance of Xiaoxia's three sisters in his memory, Takumi was a little unconfident in his words.

"Perhaps, the gym trainer is the side job......

Squinting at Tuohai, Ai Ye sighed helplessly, "I thought Tuohai had changed his temperament, but I really thought too much!" ”

looked at Ai Ye with some confusion, Takumi didn't know why Ai Ye's expression kept changing in a short period of time, but if Takumi knew the reason, I'm afraid he would be happy for a while.

Speaking of playing, in the era of information explosion in Tuohai's previous life, I don't know how many streets in this world have been thrown off in terms of entertainment projects.

If you are used to eating refined grains, you naturally can't look down on brown rice!

In Takumi's eyes, the most interesting thing in the world is the Pokémon that didn't exist in the previous life!

Seeing a variety of different, living Pokémon and getting stronger with your own Pokémon is not much more interesting than watching a show and 'eating chicken'?

Different experiences and cognitions naturally made Ai Ye unable to understand some of Tuohai's behaviors.

chatting all the way, the Pokémon Center in Hualan City appeared in front of the two of them after a while.

Looking at the Pokémon Center where people come in and out from time to time, Takumi and the others didn't stop to look at the idea of this magnificent building, but Lu Lili, who was standing on Ai Ye's shoulder, was full of curiosity about everything when she came to Hualan City, which was the first time she had seen a big human city.

Walking into the Pokémon Center, facing Miss Joy's warm smile, Takumi's whole person also relaxed.

After smiling and paying the money for accommodation, Pokémon care and other things, Takumi patted his head and said to Ai Ye.

"Ai Ye, why don't you also register as a Pokémon trainer, it's quite convenient to have this identity and do a lot of things."

"Huh? Lu Lili ......"

Dragging Lu Lili to place it on the table in front of Joey, Ai Ye only hesitated for a moment, and then quickly bowed to Miss Joey.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Joey."

"Hehe, it's all a trivial matter, not to mention that I'm not busy now, and I'm bored if I have nothing to do."

Miss Joy said playfully, and soon took out a form for Ai Ye to fill out, and at the same time asked Ai Ye some basic information while entering it into the computer.

After all, all of this information is entered into the trainer's proprietary ID card.

Seeing that Miss Joy and Ai Ye were busy, Takumi had no choice but to play with Lu Lili with his fingers boredly, flicking its round ears for a while, and poking its tail like a blue balloon for a while, which was a good way to pass the time.

It didn't take long for Ai Ye to put her trainer ID card in her pocket, and the alliance was quite bothered about some things about trainers.

With the room card in his hand, Takumi was about to take Ai Ye to rest temporarily in the Pokémon Center, when he was stopped by Miss Joy.

"Well, because the two of you are new trainers who have traveled to our Hualan City, so I have a small gift for you here!"

No matter what time it is, the words "gifts" and "giveaways" are always attractive, even if it is Takumi.

Seeing Takumi and Aiye's curious gazes, Miss Joy smiled at them before reaching out and pulling out a stack of tickets from the drawer under the service desk.

"Admission to the aqua ballet! The performers are the big stars of our Hualan City, the three Hualan sisters! ”

So, under Miss Joy's smiling face farewell, Takumi and Ai Ye took the admission tickets with strange faces and came to the room in the accommodation area.

"What a coincidence......"

"Yes, I just said that I was going to watch the water ballet tomorrow, but now I don't even have to buy a ticket......"

They looked at each other and smiled, anyway, it's a good thing to be able to watch an underwater ballet for free.

……

The next morning, the Pokémon that had been cared for were taken back early, and Takumi went out with Ai Ye to buy supplies.

During the month of the Pokémon Workshop, although Takumi and Aiye didn't have to worry about their own food, Takumi's Pokémon, including Lu Lili's food every day, were all in stock.

Counting the time when he left Dead Leaf City, there has been no replenishment for more than a month, and the previous storage has basically consumed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

What's more, due to the increase in knowledge related to Pokémon, especially the knowledge of cultivating Pokémon, Ai Ye also wants to improve the nutrition and deliciousness of the six tails' food, and many materials for experiments have to be purchased.

Coupled with the formula that he learned by the way from the 'Divine Power' skill learner, Takumi once again felt that the funds on hand were not sufficient after a period of time.

"It's time to make money......"

Together with Ai Ye, he relied on the map of the city to walk the streets and alleys, and after shopping around, he bought a batch of supplies near noon.

As for the remaining material shortage, it will have to be repaired in Hualan City for a few days anyway, and it will not be too late to buy it slowly.

……

Wiped a pink badge spotlessly in his hand, and Takumi put it into the wooden box he used to store the badge.

The badge is a proof of your own efforts, and it also represents a memory of yourself.

Not to mention that this is still an important credential for participating in the quartz conference, so even if it is stored in a wooden box, Takumi will take it out and wipe it down from time to time in his spare time.

For young trainers, as well as those who want to improve their reputation, participating in regional conventions is the best way to do so.

"Fame and fortune, such a temptation, I can't resist it!"

Putting the wooden box back into the backpack, Takumi nodded to Ai Ye, who was sitting next to him, and walked out of the gate of the Pokémon Center together, heading towards the Hualan Gym.

After returning from the purchase and having a brief lunch, Takumi and Ai Ye just sat in the lobby of the Pokémon Center for a while before getting ready to go out again.

After all, there are still two tickets to the water ballet, free of charge, so you have to watch it.

The distance between the Hualan Gym and the Pokémon Center is not too far, but it still takes a certain amount of time just to walk......

Glancing at Ai Ye, Takumi decisively beckoned to stop a taxi, and sat in the co-pilot first.

The driver, a middle-aged man with short hair, asked enthusiastically.

"Little brother, where are you going?"

"Hualan Daoguan."

Hearing Tuohai's reply, the uncle's driver glanced at Ai Ye, and saw that Ai Ye stepped on the accelerator directly after closing the car door, and said quite familiarly.

"Hualan Daoguan? It's to watch the water ballet, I've been to see it twice before, and the three Hualan sisters are really beautiful and perform well......"

Seeing that the uncle's driver was worried about Ai Ye in the car, and didn't say anything salty and wet, Tuohai also smiled, and his impression of this uncle was good, and he chatted with him without a word.

"I've heard that the popularity of the three Hualan sisters is continuing to decline, which is a pity."

When mentioning the three Hualan sisters, the driver uncle, who is a local, said this, which made Tuohai a little surprised.

"Declining popularity?"

When the driver's uncle heard that Tuohai was interested, he also explained casually.

"According to the last time I went to see the underwater ballet, the venue that can accommodate 6,000 people only enters the 1,000-plus crowd during the performance, do you think this is a big drop in popularity?"

"I remember the first time I went to see an underwater ballet, it was a full house, the whole audience was cheering, and now it's like this......"

There was deep regret in the uncle's tone, but it made Takumi pinch his chin for a while and didn't speak again.

Seeing that Tuohai was not interested in talking, the driver's uncle naturally drove in a muffled voice, and after a short time, he sent Tuohai and Ai Ye to the front of the Hualan Dao Hall.

Looking at the Hualan Daoist Hall, where the building was already a little old, Tuohai's eyes moved, and he thought about it.

Grabbing Takuha's hand and looking at the time on his watch, Ai Ye couldn't help but muttered in Takuha's ear.

"It's almost two o'clock, but there are so few people in line, it seems that it is indeed as the uncle said......"

"Maybe a lot of people have already gone in?"

While walking towards what seemed to be the gate and what seemed to be the ticket gate, Takumi glanced at the line of more than 20 people in front of the ticket gate, saying such things in his mouth, but he quite agreed with Ai Ye's point of view in his heart.

I entered the Hualan Dao Hall through the ticket gate, walked inside for a while, and saw the empty venue, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although the memory of the China Blue Gym has always existed, and even after two years, there was money to demolish and rebuild the Hualan Gym, and the small life seemed to be okay, but it was a fact that the audience was scarce at this time.

As for the reason, Takumi can roughly guess some.

According to the driver's uncle, the water ballet performance of Hualan Gym is held once a week, which is actually the key to the low popularity of the three Hualan sisters.

After all, this world is not as developed as Tuohai's previous life, and the information is explosive.

Xiaoxia's three sisters naturally have talents and beauty, but in fact, the main body of their fan group is actually in Hualan City and some surrounding towns, and some other cities may exist sporadically, but that's it.

When passing through the ticket gate, Takumi also took a look at the price of the normal admission ticket.

It's not expensive for a trainer with his strength, but for ordinary people, it doesn't matter if you look at it once in a while, but once a week, the economic conditions simply don't allow it.

In addition, for several months, the three Hualan sisters have been performing water ballet, and even those who have the conditions to watch it are feeling visual fatigue.

In the case of poor word-of-mouth, even if the publicity is increased, as soon as the locals in Hualan City see the words 'water ballet', their bodies tremble, and everything is boring.

Tuohai felt that the hundreds of people still sitting in the seats of the venue were estimated to be the brainless fans of the three Hualan sisters, except for those who had recently come to Hualan City like him and Ai Ye, or who had gotten free admission tickets.

A monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, 500 yuan is set aside as living expenses, and 4,005 yuan is all used to buy tickets and peripherals.

Well, happy life.

Shaking his head, due to the fact that there were too many empty seats, Takumi and Ai Ye didn't bother to sit in their original seats, and chose a front row position that was closer to the pool and could easily see the performance later.

"After the challenge of the gym is over later, I can give them a wake-up call, after all, even if I don't say it, it won't be long before they find out the problem, and it's not bad to sell them a favor."

After a while, as the lights in the venue were turned off and lit again, several beams of light gathered on the three beauties on a platform more than ten meters high.

With the crisp sound of entering the water, the three Hualan sisters performed meticulously, and they didn't seem to be affected by the empty venue at all, but it made Tuohai admire it in his heart.

Honor and disgrace are not shocked, but it is extremely difficult to do when it is simple.

With admiration for the three sisters, Takumi soon enjoyed the artistic performance of the three water elves, just like Ai Ye.

As for the big white legs or something...... That's just incidental.

When they devoted themselves to watching the performance, time flew by, and when the three Hualan sisters stood by the pool and bowed in thanks, Takumi and Ai Ye stood up and took the lead in applauding.

In the next second, although there were only a few hundred people in the venue, the deafening applause still sounded like thunder and was given to the three Hualan sisters who were quite dedicated.

Nodding at Ai Ye, the two chased after the person who had already left the scene, and as for the lottery hosted by the staff of the Hualan Dao Hall behind them, Takumi and Ai Ye didn't pay attention to its meaning at all.

It seemed that they had taken a shower in the locker room, and Takumi and Ai Ye, who signaled to the staff that they were going to challenge the gym, waited for nearly half an hour before they saw the three Hualan sisters who had changed into their daily clothes come to them under the guidance of the staff.

"I'm the ...... of the Light Red Gym"

"Needless to say, the blue badge is for you. Really, the guy with the five badges came to the Hualan Gym to bully us three weak women......"

Sakura, with long blond hair, spread out her palms towards Takumi, puffing out her cheeks and complaining, which made Takumi inexplicably rise a sense of guilt and a sense of absurdity and comicality.

"Anyway, I'm also here to challenge the gym, can't you listen to me say my name?!"
