Chapter Twenty-Four: When the Girl Talks (Ask for Follow-up!) )
After the battle between Xu Qiansu and Xiao Zhi, the atmosphere was undoubtedly hot, and everyone was a little less restrained in the face of strangers...... Just like Salina and Lilia, the relationship between the two of them has become quite good.
In a room inside the wooden house, the door is open, and Liliai, Salina, and Marley are healing Ash and Xu Qiansu's Pokémon.
Spotted Meow is covered in bandages, revealing only a pair of eyes, and is sleeping on her bed.
"You've known Ash for a long time?" Lilia looked surprised, but she was holding the wound medicine in her hand and spraying it lightly on Mu Muxiao's body...... Suffering from Pokémon phobia, she can only be treated without contact like this.
"Pretty much...... I met him once when I was a child...... But the real start of the trip was last year, when Ash jumped from the Illusion Crystal Tower dozens of meters high without hesitation in order to save Pikachu......" Salina gently bandaged the wound, thought for a moment, and said softly.
Mu Muxiao was injured all over his body, as if he was unconscious, but in fact he fell asleep and let the two women fiddle.
"Ash never told us this."
"Yes...... He doesn't talk about himself very often, only about his Pokémon. In her words and deeds, Sarina revealed her understanding of Ash.
The two girls chatted with each other, while Marie sat on the bed, and Morubecco slept not far from the fire meow with her belly exposed.
Ma Li picked up the little saccharine, looked at the wounds on her body, picked up the wound medicine, and asked, "What have you learned from this battle?" ”
"Karui?" The Teasupial tilted its head in confusion, then raised its little paws, saying, 'I should have exercised my strength more, if only I could knock out Spotted Meow and Wood Owl with a single blow.' ’
Ma Li tapped the skull helmet of the little saccharid, made a soft sound, and said, "No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't hit." ”
The little marsupial hung its head, tail pulling together, and she felt that Marley was right.
"What else have you learned?" Ma Li bandaged the wound on the Sacrum's stomach that had been scratched by the fire meow, and continued to ask.
The little saccharine tilted her little head again, and this time she didn't speak.
Ma Li was not angry, she said patiently: "You have to learn to make reasonable judgments by yourself, many times, there is a time difference between Xu Qiansu's instructions and the battle situation...... Battles are ever-changing, and you can't rely solely on his commands. ”
Seeing that the little sachet beast was full of confusion, Ma Li continued to explain with a cumbersome but simple sentence: "Just like just now, Fire Spotted Meow heard Xu Qiansu's order, so he reacted so quickly to dodge backwards, if it wasn't for the large range of dragon fluctuations, you might have failed...... What you have to learn is that even if Xu Qiansu doesn't say so much, he can understand what he means. ”
This time the little saccharoid understood, and she nodded heavily, signaling that she would soon be able to communicate with Xu Qiansu.
"Okay, I'll take your test in the future." Ma Li nodded slightly, gently placed the treated pouchmon on the bed, and picked up the six tails again.
The six tails' injuries looked serious, but under the power of the Phoenix King, they actually looked terrifying, and it was estimated that they would be completely healed in less than ten minutes.
But Marie didn't care about that.
She asked, "What did you learn from the fight you just had?" ”
"Huh?" The six tails were also confused, she didn't think so much about the fight just now, she did whatever Xu Qiansu asked her to do.
Ma Li was still not angry, she said: "As a six-tailed, your speed is also a strength, won't you still be able to flash lightning?" You're supposed to be the fastest of his three Pokémon, but you can't beat the fire spotted meow and the wood owl in terms of speed...... So next, you're going to focus on that. ”
"Whew."
Salina and Lilia looked at each other curiously.
"Marie is so strict with Pokémon." Salina, who was more familiar with Marly, spoke.
"It's not ...... strict" Ma Li paused before continuing: "It's good to be strict, although Xu Qiansu is a delicate person, he still has many shortcomings as a trainer, and he dotes on them too much, and he is reluctant to say a cruel word." ”
Lilia looked at the Ice Six-Tails beside her, smiled and said softly, "I am reluctant to say cruel things to you~"
"Woo~" The six tails in the Alola region are pure white, which is an ice attribute, and was named 'Bai Huanghuang' by Liliai.
"Have you known him for a long time?" Salina asked curiously.
"I've known each other for less than a month." Mary shook her head slightly.
"But it feels like you two have known each other for a long time." Lilia thought for a moment and said.
"Through brazen rhetoric and actions, inadvertently closing the distance is a rare talent that Xu Qiansu has and is worth mentioning." Ma Li replied lightly.
Salina and Liliai looked at each other, and for a while they couldn't figure out whether the relationship between Ma Li and Xu Qiansu was good or bad.
Morubecco rolled over and got closer to Firemeow, and then Firemeow woke up, glancing at Morubec, then moved and distanced himself again.
Six-Tails lay on Marly's lap and turned his head to meet Lilia's white swaying...... She had never seen a six-tailed like this, and Bai Huanghuang had never seen a six-tailed with her coat of this color.
"Please, please, can you tell me how you met?" Lilia was very curious about Ma Li and Xu Qiansu.
"It's not something worth mentioning." Ma Li shook her head slightly, lowered her eyes, and looked at the slowly healing wounds on the six tails, not interested in this topic.
At this moment, Xu Qiansu pushed the door in, heard their conversation, and asked a little curiously, "The first time we met...... I would also like to hear from Miss Mary's point of view how the two of us met for the first time. ”
The little saccharoid and the six-tails jumped to the floor, walked in front of Xu Qiansu, and looked up at him.
Xu Qiansu hugged them, and they laughed happily.
Ma Li rubbed her eyebrows, sighed helplessly, glanced at Xu Qiansu, and said, "What do you think my perspective can be different?" It's nothing more than passing through Cuixue Town on the way to travel, being a little interested in Pokémon battles, wanting to sign up but not having teammates, and then going to the park to relax, and meeting you. ”
Lilia and Salina looked at the two of them and tilted their heads in confusion, weren't they not interested in this topic?
As she spoke, Ma Li's eyes suddenly became cold, she sat on the bed, looking at Xu Qiansu from the bottom up, but with a sense of oppression, "Why didn't you knock when you came in?" ”
"I'm sorry... I'm ignoring that...... But the meaning of the door is hidden, isn't it possible to push the door in? ”
"Who prescribes it? What if you see our privacy? As she spoke, Ma Li hugged her chest and showed a wary look.
"If you're really doing something that can't be seen, then you should close the door, right?"
"I don't like men who are calculating."
Xu Qiansu retreated to the door in silence, closed the door, and then knocked on the door, "Excuse me, can I come in?" ”
"Please come in." Ma Li said lightly.
Xu Qiansu then pushed the door in his arms with the little bag beast and the six tails.
He said, "It's time to assemble, and listening to Dr. Kukuy, it seems like an amazing figure is coming." ”
Ma Li bowed slightly.
Lilia and Salina looked at the two of them and smiled, and now they were sure that their relationship was actually extraordinarily good.
