In his thoughts, Xia You was in a daze and didn't know when he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already dawn, and when he looked to the side, Lijia's bedding had been neatly stacked, but she was not in the room.

Rubbing her eyes, and just getting dressed, Lijia pushed the door open and walked in.

The white socks made a soft 'dong dong' sound on the tatami mat, she looked at Xia You and said softly, "Are you awake?" Mr. Iron has prepared breakfast and is asking me to call you. ”

Glancing at Lijia, her face was still as beautiful as ever.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Xia You asked.

Lijia's face was slightly red, like Xia You, she naturally couldn't sleep last night, her heart was both shy and tangled, she didn't fall asleep for a long time, and finally heard Xia You's steady breathing after falling asleep, so she was relieved, and she fell asleep together.

"It's not bad, it's much more secure than sleeping outside."

This is indeed true, whether it is a Pokémon center, a homestay, a hotel or sleeping in the wilderness, it is naturally not as comfortable and warm as 'home', even if they are just guests, just staying in other people's homes, but this sleep does greatly clear their fatigue.

After Xia You washed up, the two came to the restaurant for breakfast, and it is worth mentioning that Dr. Kumu didn't know if he had drunk too much, and he still had a hangover until now.

At the dining table, Xia You and Steel talked while eating, chatting for a while, and then drank morning tea, seeing that the sun was climbing higher and higher, Dr. Kumu still showed no signs of waking up, so he asked Steel to say goodbye to Dr. Kumu on his behalf, and got up and left Steel's mansion under the send-off of Steel and Chie.

After leaving this street and not seeing the steel mansion, Xia You sighed in his heart and couldn't help shaking his head.

Sensing the different expressions of the people around her, Lijia turned her head: "What's wrong?" ”

Xia You sighed: "I was surprised to meet Dr. Kumu in Hinoki Town this time, but I didn't expect to get such a precious Poke Ball, alas, I am both happy in my heart, and I feel that I owe a lot of favors to others." ”

"Don't think about it so much." Lijia smiled, "Just like Mr. Steel said, this Poké Ball is like a time bomb in his place, I don't know when someone will come to find trouble, now I hand it over to you, there is no hidden danger, but Mr. Steel wants to thank you!" ”

After Lijia said this, Xia You's heart was really much more relaxed.

"It's you, you really know how to comfort people......"

"Nothing." Lijia blushed slightly, "I'm just telling the truth." ”

As they spoke, the two of them had come to the outside of the Hinoki Gym, which was located on the plains outside the town, surrounded by a green meadow, and the entire Gym occupied a huge area, in the form of an arched building, not like a gym, but more like a botanical garden.

The owner of the Hinoki Gym is Abbi, who specializes in insect-type Pokémon, and after defeating him, you can get his insect badge.

Along the way, he had even set a strategy in his heart, and he had already decided which Pokémon to send to the game, but when he was about to step into the door of the gym with great expectations, he saw that the door of the gym was closed, and a notice was posted on the door.

Well?

Puzzled in his heart, Xia You couldn't help but be surprised after a quick glance.

It turned out that Ah Bi was not in the gym at this time, but went to the forest farther away early this morning to catch Pokémon, and left a message saying that it would take at least a few days to come back, so that the trainers who planned to challenge the gym would wait a few days.

"This ......" After reading it, Lijia also frowned, "This is really a bit unexpected." ”

She turned her head to look at Xia You: "What should I do?" It seems that Ah Bi will not be able to come back in a few days. ”

Xia You also frowned, the two of them looked similar at this time, and they really looked like husband and wife.

"Alas, I knew that I would have come directly to challenge the gym yesterday."

Lijia hesitated: "Are you going to find him?" ”

Xia You shook his head: "I don't know where he went, there are so many forests around here, trying to find him is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

After thinking about it, he took out his phone and clicked on the map and studied it carefully.

Lijia also leaned her head over, and the two looked at the map, both of them silent.

To be honest, this is indeed very unexpected by Xia You, but it is also reasonable, after all, the owner of the gym also needs to experience or accept new Pokémon from time to time in order to continue to improve and not be eliminated by this era.

It's just that......

In this way, it is a bit of a delay for myself.

His gaze scanned back and forth in the map, and according to the location, although the Hinoki Town and Manjin City were not too far away, this time it would be more than three days, so it was better to stay in this vicinity.

If you don't go to Manjin City, where can you go now?

Inadvertently, his gaze swept over a spot, and his eyes slowly lit up.

"Let's go to this place!"

Hearing him say this, Lijia couldn't help but look at the place pointed by Xia You's finger, only to see that it was a canyon in the middle of the mountains, between Hinoki Town and Kikyo City, and the name of the canyon -

Her gaze froze: "Charizard Valley? ”

Xia You nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that there are some very powerful Charizards there, and I don't know how they compare to my Charizard, so I can go and see them." ”

Lijia naturally has no objection, or in other words, she will accompany Xia You to the end no matter where she goes, so whether the journey is far or near, whether it is difficult or not, it makes no difference to her at all.

After setting their goal, the two of them regrouped, changed direction, and headed towards Charizard Valley.

Charizard Valley is a natural park located among the towering mountains, and the general public is not allowed to enter it in order to protect people's lives due to the terrain and the presence of many fierce Charizards.

Of course, there is no place in the world where trainers can live for them.

They left the town of Hinoki and headed north, a half-day walk, where the surrounding elevation gradually increased, the trees and vegetation became scarcer, and at the end of the eye, a series of mountain peaks appeared.

The so-called Wangshan running a dead horse, although this point seems to be very close, but it really takes a long time to really walk.

Fortunately, the most important thing for the two of them now is time, stop and go all the way, and they are not in a hurry, and they should be relaxed while looking at the surrounding scenery while hurrying.

It wasn't until dark that they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, but it was getting late, and if they just entered the mountain so rashly, it would naturally be a little more dangerous out of thin air.

So after some discussion, they decided to set up their tents tonight, camp at the foot of the mountain, and wait for the next morning before they set out.
