The next day, at four o'clock in the morning.

Xu Qiansu watched the little master Caidou handsomely come in from the window, silent.

"I woke up so early today...... You didn't sleep? ”

"The so-called men have a few days every month."

Caidou glanced at Xu Qiansu suspiciously, but he didn't care what he said at all, and stretched out his finger and pointed to the bathroom behind him.

Xu Qiansu silently got up and dressed, washed and brushed his teeth, and Caidou looked at him quietly.

Then he went down to the ground through the window, and now he turned down from the second floor, Xu Qiansu didn't even need to jump on the branch to borrow strength.

Morning practice as usual, after half past seven, Xu Qiansu looked at the three little cubs of Chirulian who were fighting back and forth with Ash's three Pokémon, and immediately turned his head to look at Caidou and asked, "Can I teach Chirulian the fighting techniques taught to me by Master Caidou?" ”

Chirulian likes melee combat, and Xu Qiansu naturally won't deprive her of her preferences, so it's good to improve her melee combat ability...... Now that I'm familiar with the little master of Caidou, I put it forward, and I don't know if she will agree.

"Chirulian learning martial arts?" Caidou tilted her head, these days, she also saw Chirulian's good melee ability, so she was not surprised, so she bowed her head slightly.

Then he said: "But let's talk about it when you become stronger, with your current strength, even if Chirulian doesn't use skills and fights in close combat, she is not her opponent." ”

It seems that the little master of Caidou completely took the standard vertebrae of his rival monster power to ask Xu Qiansu.

After all, Xu Qiansu's purpose in learning martial arts is to target humans, not to wrestle with Pokémon......

So Rainbow said, "I'll also find time to teach Chirulian these days." ”

Xu Qiansu couldn't help but feel that the little master of Caidou was really good to him, and he responded to his requests but didn't ask for anything, but only because of Xu Qiansu's verbal apprenticeship.

Presumably, when she first apprenticed, she asked her to train Chirulian, and she would not hesitate to agree.

He wanted to do something for Caidou, but he didn't know this woman at all, only that her obsession was to defeat Emperor Dan......

Defeat Dandi...... Nine out of ten trainers in Garrell have this ambition, but in the past ten years, no one has been able to do so.

But all the way as a trainer, where can Xu Qiansu help him, not to mention that his strength is low, and what he can do is extremely limited, so he will keep this idea in his heart first and talk about it later.

He led his little cubs back to his room, took a hot shower, and went downstairs, breakfast was ready...... He sat down beside Miss Mary.

"Bu Te ~" Yi Bu squatted on Miss Ma Li's lap, looked at Xu Qiansu, and greeted happily.

The man in front of him made Ibu feel very close, as if he was ...... When he was still in the egg, he was always with him.

Xu Qiansu pinched Yibu's face, and then looked at Ma Li.

Miss Mary's expression was very calm, and she didn't see anything unusual, apparently not intending to mention last night's trip to the hot springs.

Lilia could see that something was wrong at a glance, and as soon as Xu Qiansu appeared in her sight, she lowered her eyes, blushed, and didn't say a word.

When a man she didn't know well saw herself wrapped around a bath towel, she was naturally shy.

She is an introvert, and most of the time she didn't fall asleep last night.

Should you not mention it so as not to make her embarrassed, or should you explain it to her? …… Xu Qiansu looked at Liliai's shallow dark circles and thought silently.

Sonia propped up her side face, biting her bread, and turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu and Liliai, revealing an excited smile eating melons.

Twenty years old, about six years older than many girls, she is always inexplicably sharp in some places.

After breakfast, he was about to take Lilia out to investigate, but Chirulian was directly left behind by Caidou.

Little Master Caidou is a decisive man of action, and he said that he would help Xu Qiansu train Chirulian, and he would not delay it in the future.

Although Chirulian is reluctant, as a Pokémon who loves Xu Qiansu the most, she thinks that she is not only obedient, but also sensible, and is a perfect and cute Pokémon in all aspects except for her strength for the time being.

After learning how to cook thoroughly, and having the strength, I will definitely be able to throw the female human far away.

Xu Qiansu and Liliai walked on the snow one after the other as usual.

The Pokémon of the two followed them on their short legs.

Lilia held her hands in front of her, lowered her head, blushed, and silently followed behind Xu Qiansu.

The atmosphere was no different from before, cold and less talkative.

Xu Qiansu would not talk to Lilia about meaningless topics, he would only talk like that in front of Miss Marly.

And Lilia doesn't often take the initiative to speak.

After the two walked silently for a while, Xu Qiansu suddenly spoke, "Liliai." ”

"Yes!"

Lilia suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Qiansu's back, her snow-white face was flushed, and her jewel-like turquoise eyes seemed to be dripping water.

Xu Qiansu didn't look back, he felt that if he looked at Liliai, she would probably be even more shy.

Anyway, it's not an unsightly thing, there is no need to hide and pinch it, it's better to explain it to Liliai, so as to save her from thinking nonsense.

"Last Night......

"It's okay! I didn't see anything! Before Xu Qiansu finished speaking, Lilia hurriedly spoke.

Xu Qiansu sighed lightly, Lilia is very tutored and never interrupts people, so it seems that last night really had a big impact on her.

Hearing Xu Qiansu sigh, Lilia lowered her eyes again, pursed her lips tightly, and then whispered: "I'm really sorry last night......"

"Why do you want to apologize?" Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned and looked back at her.

"Because I proposed to go to the hot springs...... We're going to bother you two......" Lily was still embarrassed to say the word 'date'.

"Excuse me?" Xu Qiansu thought for a while, and then understood that Lilia thought that Xu Qiansu and Ma Li had a tryst in the hot spring...... He shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, although Miss Ma Li and I are a match made in heaven, it is not the relationship you imagined, and there will be no tryst. ”

Lilia blinked, this kind of slightly frivolous words, Xu Qiansu said to her for the first time.

Oh...... Not frivolous to her, but frivolous to Marly, only when Marley is mentioned, he will speak like this.

Lilia was keenly aware of this.

"I went to the women's hot spring last night because Ibu was born...... Xu Qiansu looked away, looked ahead, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry to scare you." ”

I'm apologizing...... Liliai looked at Xu Qiansu's back, then pinched the corner of her clothes, and said with a smile, "It's okay." ”

"Hmm." Xu Qiansu nodded, explained clearly, and let Lilia stop thinking nonsense.

He stopped talking, took out his phone, looked at the map, and walked silently towards his destination.

Lilia looked at his back, and immediately lowered her eyes, looking at Xu Qiansu's footprints in the snow, stepping out of her feet, and stepping on Xu Qiansu's footprints.

One step, two steps......

Lilia pursed her lips and smiled.

There was one thing she didn't say.

The reason why she proposed to go to the hot spring was because when she was in the living room, she learned that Xu Qiansu would go to the hot spring after training.

It's not out of any idea, it's just that I just want to follow Xu Qiansu's steps and do the same thing as him.

As for being looked at yourself...... Thinking about it, Liliai's face turned red again, and her steps in Xu Qiansu's footprints became a little heavier.

In the cabin, after training, during a short break, Chirulian sat on the wooden roof and basked in the sun.

The meow leader, who had been brought back by Dr. Cukuy last night, climbed up the eaves and found Chirulian.

"What?" Chirulian asked, tilting her head.

"Thank you for giving us a chance to go home!" The meow leader looks treacherous, has intelligent eyes, and looks very underwhelmed, but the gratitude in his words is very sincere.

"Oh...... You are welcome. ”

Chirulian didn't care, anyway, it was just a gesture, she wanted to know what Xu Qiansu was doing now, and whether she missed her more than listening to the meow leader's thanks.

"I've brought all the good things I've collected in recent years, and I hope you can take them." After the meow leader finished speaking, two meows climbed up with the package on their backs, opened the package, and placed it on the eaves.

"Dr. Kukui is the one who brought you home, so you might as well give it to him." Chirulian shook her head slightly.

She really thought so, and felt like she didn't do anything.

The meow boss scratched his head, you said that Chirulian was kind, she beat up the Pokémon so hard that she almost sent the meow boss down, you said she was not kind, but she was very sensible in this regard.

The meow boss, who couldn't figure it out, didn't bother to care about this kind of thing, and said, "Then you can pick something...... I'll give the rest to Dr. Kukuy. ”

Chirulian glanced at it, thinking that she would skip this matter by taking a few random things, she still had to cultivate...... He turned his gaze to the two packages.

It's not like she's never seen these things in the meow boss's cave, it's not unfamiliar, and there are no good things worth noting except for the Fire Stone...... She took it out casually, and took out a small trinket that shone in the sunlight from the miscellaneous items.

"Do you want a badge?" The meow leader asked, pulling out several badges of different styles from the package.

"Badge?"

Chirulian took it, and she didn't know what the badge was, but she thought it was beautiful enough to use as an accessory.

"It's a human who challenges something called a gym in various regions, and when he wins, he can get a badge." The meow boss scratched his head and explained.

Now Chirulian understood, under the influence of Xu Qiansu and Ma Li, she was not a stranger to the gym, and knew that there were gyms in every region.

Thinking about it, she was stunned, looked at the badge in her hand, which looked extremely brand-new, and turned her head and asked, "This badge is so new...... When did you get it? ”

"Just for a few days." One meow said, "The other day there was a human wandering in the forest, carrying a bulging backpack, and muttering about what winter camping is annoying, he wants to sleep, he doesn't want to survey, and so on...... We didn't bother to care about winter camping or anything like that, we just thought that there must be something good to eat in his backpack, so we scared him a little......"

"Hmm." The meow leader continued, "When he was pulling out the red and white balls and unleashing a grass toad that I had never seen before, a box fell on the ground and the badge fell out...... That grass toad is so powerful, we can't beat it at all, but we can't come and go empty-handed, so we just took the badge away when we fled......"

"If you want me to say, I shouldn't have worried that he was a human and stayed and snatched his backpack directly, how could there be so many ......things," Meow Meow said about the mistake at the beginning.

Chirulian clutched the badge tightly in her hand, thinking......

The gift I gave to Xu Qiansu was finally found.

With this kind of fate-like coincidence.
