Chapter 14: Beauty
Although Xingchen's original intention was to relax for one day, due to the strong request of a certain eldest lady, the play time was extended to about three days. So, after wandering through the streets and alleys and looking for all kinds of game, the two came to the next town.
"Xingchen, where is this? ~" Xiaoling asked, for this new town, the other party seems to be very familiar, and he found the town's long-famous beauty street.
"This is the most famous beauty shop~" Xingchen looked at the house in front of him and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
"Okay~" Xiao Ling hesitated, and followed Xingchen into the house,
"Xingchen, Xiaoling, why did you come here?" Before Xiaoling could see the room clearly, she saw a few acquaintances sitting on the sofa in front of her.
In the elegant small room, all kinds of furniture are placed together concisely but coordinatedly, and at this time, standing next to the three of Xiao Zhi, serving snacks to the three of them, it is a girl with dark green long hair, willow eyebrows like smoke, clear eyes, the girl seems to have a very quiet special, people just look at it from a distance, can soothe the restless mood.
"Ah, Xingchen, come here." Xiaoxia shouted excitedly,
"Okay~" Xingchen said hello and walked over with Xiaoling.
"Long time no see, Xiaoxue." Xingchen looked at the tranquil girl who turned around and said.
"Xing~Chen?!" Xiaoxue stood up and said in surprise, "Your body is okay, right?!" ”
"I'm fine, thank you for what happened last time." Xingchen noticed the pendant on the girl's chest, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's nothing, it's just a little thing." Xiaoxue stroked the pendant and hesitated, "Actually, I was too reckless, and I ...... that thing without your consent."
"I believe in you," Xingchen said lightly,
"Can I consider this an endorsement then?" Xiaoxue blinked and said playfully.
"Well~"
The two of them have a story, Xiaoxia and Yu Xiaogang glanced at each other and nodded.
Well, this girl named Xiaoxue puts a lot of pressure on Miss Ben, Xiaoling bit her fingertips and thought secretly.
"What, you two have known each other for a long time, so I want to introduce it." Ash said disappointedly, the Pikachu in his arms looked the same, it seems that after a long time with Zhiye, the elf has also been affected a lot~
"We met when we were studying in the Fangyuan Alliance~" Xiao Xue saw a few people and asked, "But now that I think about it, it's actually Xingchen who takes care of me a little more." ”
"What, what?!" Xiao Zhi and the three looked at Xiao Xue's eyes full of curiosity, and the fire of gossip spontaneously combusted without wind.
"Didn't Xingchen tell you about Fangyuan?" Xiaoxue looked at Xingchen suspiciously, and the latter shook his head.
"No, the stars rarely talk about the past." Ash grumbled, "He'll only think about answering questions when I bet with him...... But I always lose, so I don't know anything about it......"
It would really be strange if you could win, everyone looked at Ash with the same kind of understanding......
"It's the same place as the academy," Xingchen noticed that several people were suppressing something, and immediately realized that it might be his own existence, interfering with their conversation. "Then I'll go out and walk around, and you can talk."
After confirming that Xingchen was far away, Xiao Ling and Xiao Zhi immediately looked at Xiao Xue, their eyes were so hot that they wanted to swallow each other.
Rao is as calm as Xiaoxue, and at this time, he can't stand the enthusiasm of the other party.
"What do you want to ask?" Xiaoxue knew the other party's intentions, so she could only take the initiative to ask.
"Can you tell us a little more about the stars?" Xiaoxia said slowly,
"If it's Miss Xiaoxue's past, Xiaosheng is happy to listen!" Xiao Gang said excitedly,
"Well...... If you can, can Xiaoxue tell us how did you meet him? Xiao Ling thought about it and compromised,
"There's no problem with this......," Xiaoxue said slowly, "I studied in Fangyuan a long time ago, and at that time, due to a special relationship, I moved to the vicinity of the Orange Hua Daoguan, because I studied in the same college, I only met Xingchen. ”
"Orange Castle?" Xiao Gang suddenly asked, "Are you saying that Xingchen's family is also a gym trainer?" ”
"Well, Xingchen's father is known as the strongest Daoist trainer in Fangyuan." Xiaoxue nodded and said,
"No wonder Xingchen's battle awareness is so good, it turns out that it is bloodline inheritance~?" Xiao Ling said so, and Xiao Xia beside her also nodded,
"Personally, I don't think it's all, right?" Xiaoxue hesitated and said,
"Why?" The four of them looked at Xiaoxue,
"Don't you know some rumors about Fangyuan? ~" Xiaoxue asked,
"I don't know",
"For those trainers who want to dominate the Fangyuan Alliance, the biggest challenge to face is that in addition to the Orange Flower Gym trainer Qianli, the Fangyuan Four Heavenly Kings, and the Fangyuan Champion, there is another person~"
"Four Heavenly Kings, champions?" Ash wondered, "Who are they?" ”
"The Four Heavenly Kings are the strongest four people in a region, and the champion is the one who is above the Four Heavenly Kings." Xiao Gang explained briefly, making up the concept for Xiao Zhi.
"Could that be the other one?" Xiao Ling suddenly thought,
"The eldest son of the famous trainer Chisato, Xingchen~" Xiaoxue affirmed Xiaoling's guess.
"As far as I knew at the time, Xingchen had only fought a few battles in total, and the people he faced were all people who dominated the Fangyuan Alliance, but~" Xiao Xue paused, "Those few people who passed the Fangyuan Alliance and the Four Heavenly Kings, and even those who were recognized by the champion, were undoubtedly defeated by Xingchen in the end. ”。
Ignoring the shocked crowd, Xiaoxue continued,
"Xingchen was only 6 years old at the time, but that small figure has become the highest barrier for trainers who challenge Fangyuan, even if the tricks are exhausted and the strong gather, they will be defeated in the hands of Xingchen, and there are only three Pokémon he used, you should have seen it, the Flame Chicken, the Giant Swamp Monster and the Fast Dragon."
"Xingchen his little elf, hasn't he ever failed?" Xiao Ling asked, attracting the attention of the three of Ash at the same time,
"I don't know if it's a failure, but I know that when Xingchen was 7 years old, the Giant Swamp Monster and the Flame Chicken were injured, and although this kind of Cheng Dù's injury is very common in the eyes of ordinary trainers, it is unique to Xingchen."
"Who is that fighting?" Xiao Gang asked,
"At that time, because I happened to be in the Fangyuan Alliance, I knew about it, and the objects should be, Guraton and Sea Emperor's Tooth." Xiaoxue recalled,
"Sea Emperor's Tooth?" Xiaoxia was surprised,
"Is it a powerful elf?" Ash asked,
"I don't know very well, but I heard my mother say that it is the Pokémon that created the Zào Ocean." Xiaoxia muttered,
"The other one?" Xiao Ling thought,
"If nothing else, it should be the Pokémon that created the Zào Continent." Xiao Gang said.
"Xingchen, only use three Pokémon to deal with these two?" Xiaoxia said,
"No, it's four against three," Xiaoxue paused, slowed down, and spoke after a long time, "That elf is the key to the star becoming the legend of Fangyuan, the pillar of the sky, the Split Sky Seat. ”
"Crack~empty~seat?" Xiao Ling muttered,
After a silence,
"Xingchen, what kind of person was he when he was a child?" Xiaoxia asked hesitantly, and Xiaoling beside her also raised her head,
Xiaoxue's expression became very strange,
"What kind of person?" , Xiaoxue said in an uncertain tone, "This"
"According to his plain rule, he should have been outstanding when he was a child, right?" Xiao Ling thought for a moment and asked.
"No~" Xiaoxue shook her head and denied, "In the academy, Xingchen has always lived a very step-by-step life, neither excellent nor lagging behind others. ”
"How so?" Xiao Ling couldn't believe it,
"He's not in a hurry to show his talents, so he's not very enthusiastic about exams in the academy." Xiaoxue smiled bitterly, "If I didn't happen to live with him, maybe I would have thought that he was no different from everyone else." ”
"I take the liberty of asking, Miss Xiaoxue, what is the college you are studying?" Xiao Ling thought for a moment and asked.
"This~" Xiaoxue was embarrassed,
"Then forgive me for being too presumptuous," Xiao Ling said, it seems that this will have to be pulled out of Xingchen's mouth in the future.
After a small talk, each of them thought about their own thoughts.
And at this time, Xiaoxue remembered that starry night,
"Don't go!" The girl took the silver-haired boy's hand and burst into tears.
"Xiaoxue, I have nothing more to teach you, I wish you to fulfill your dream and become the best elf breeder." The boy turned around, smiled and took out a crystal pendant,
"This was meant to be given to you in a few days to celebrate your degree in breeding. But looking at this situation, it may be too late. ”
The boy hung the pendant on the girl's chest and hugged the girl,
"I've had a great time with you, and I've always thanked you, and I hope you can live happily in the future."
Before the girl could react, she lost consciousness as soon as her neck hurt,
"Star ~ Chen"
"Mr. Daigo, I handed her over to you." The silver-haired boy noticed the man approaching and said,
"Well, I'll ask at the end, Xingchen, do you have to go?"
The dark green figure flew up, leaving only a faint echo
"There are some things that I have to face"
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Xingchen finally returned to the house, but by this time everyone had already gone out to play, leaving only Xiaoxue Yiren to take care of the business of the beauty house.
"What's the matter, you don't look like you're happy?" Xingchen drank his coffee and asked,
"Nothing?" Xiaoxue shook her head and said confusedly, "I'm just wondering, is it the appearance that people pay attention to, or the inside?" ”
"Because of the fashionable beauty shop next door, the trainer's crazy obsession with the appearance of the elves?" Xingchen smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that Xiaoxue you would also have this kind of confusion." ”
"It's normal to be confused or something," Xiaoxue said as she stroked the six tails in her arms.
"I won't tell you that appearance doesn't matter, only the heart is eternal." Xingchen was silent for a long time before he spoke, "When people meet for the first time, the first thing they pay attention to is often their appearance. But Xiaoxue, appearance is something that will slowly lose color with time, no matter how you change the pattern or maintenance, this will not change;
But correspondingly, the inner thing that is not important at the beginning is something that will slowly precipitate over time and exude a richer aroma, in the instant and eternity, Xiaoxue, how will you choose? ”
Xingchen put the coffee on the table and stood up.
Xiaoxue on the side also fell into deep thought.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the stars came to the center of the elves,
"Xiao Chen, where are you now?"
"I'm ...... now Well, on Beauty Street. Xingchen looked at the video and said, "The Flame Chicken and the Giant Bog Monster have already been sent, right?" ”
"Well, the mother of the Flame Chicken and the Giant Swamp Monster are taking care of you, don't worry." Mitsuko said with a smile, and suddenly found Xiaoling sitting next to her, "Who is the girl next to her?" ”
"It's just a companion who travels~" Xingchen obviously doesn't want to do more entanglement,
"Well, Xingchen, if you're in Beauty Street, you mean you've met Xiaoxue, right?"
"En" Xingchen nodded,
"How's that, don't you have any ideas?" Mitsuko asked rather interestingly,
"I didn't know it would turn out like this," Xingchen said with a wry smile, "but if I did something wrong, she would be very sad...... I don't want her to be sad~"
"Then I'll leave the rest to my mother," Mitsuko hung up with a smile.
"Wait~" Doubts rose in Xingchen's heart, but he didn't have a chance to ask again, so he could only stop there.
In the hut on the other side, after the three of Ash successfully solved the mess of the team rocket trio,
"Six-tails, please, Xiaogang" Xiaoxue said,
"Xiaosheng will do his best!" Xiao Gang cried bitterly and said,
"Yes."
"Then we'll go first." The three of them said hello and walked away.
"We're gone, too." Xiao Ling said to Xiao Xue and kept up with the stars. But was the pendant he gave it?
With a light sigh, Xiaoxue returned to the house and was about to rest, when she heard the phone ringing,
"Hey, hello"
"Is it Xiaoxue?" A gentle female voice sounded,
"Yes, aunt? Can I help you? Xiaoxue asked a little nervously,
"It's nothing, it's just that Xiao Chen hasn't been around, and there seems to be something missing from my aunt's side. If you have time, can you come and stay here for a while? Mitsuko said.
"Okay, I got it." Xiaoxue's face turned crimson,
"Then it's decided, aunt is waiting for you at home."
On the other side, Xingchen, who was walking on the road, sneezed for no reason, which made Xiaoling feel strange for a while.
What the hell is going on...... Xingchen muttered~
