If it was the previous Ma Li, she would admit her mistakes calmly, in fact, she had already reflected on it, but when she heard this at this moment, a little inexplicable appeared in her light green eyes, and said:

"Not bringing Pokémon with me is my problem, but where do I go... I don't have to report everything to you...... I'm your bodyguard, and I'm obligated to protect you, so I've asked you about your whereabouts every time, but I didn't hire you to protect me. ”

It's a bit like 'I didn't ask you to help me, you want to help me,' and that's not something Mary would say.

Xu Qiansu knew that Ma Li should be frightened or something at this moment, something was wrong, but he still raised his eyebrows, and a little anger appeared in his heart for no reason.

After the battle, the atmosphere of a bit of restlessness instantly froze.

Hearing the ravines created by the dragon's fluctuations, the Pokémon in many research institutes looked at them uneasily...... Everything became the background.

Xu Qiansu's eyes at this moment were only Ma Li.

He asked rhetorically, "So the next time Miss Mary is in danger, shouldn't I come to my aid?" ”

"If it's time to plant, I'll pay you."

"Remuneration? How much should Miss Marley pay me? Fifty thousand? ”

"Whatever you say."

"Miss Ma Li is really a rich lady, and I am not of the same class at all, I don't know how long I should work hard to dare to say these three words." Xu Qiansu sneered.

Hearing this, Ma Li subconsciously held her reddened hand, and her light green eyes stared straight at Xu Qiansu.

The croaking frog stood up from a piece of fallen wood, shook its dazed head, and then realized what it had done, and could not help but feel guilty in its heart, and it hurried to come, but no one noticed it.

This time, the bicker ...... It doesn't seem to be the same as ever.

The little pouch crouched its neck, a little afraid, and its chubby little tail wagged uneasily.

Chirulian blinked, and looked up at the two of them.

Marly's soft cherry lips were pursed tightly, and she was about to speak, but she heard an extremely sharp voice.

"Cha!?" It turned out that it was a pickpocket cat who came, and at a glance it was obvious that Ma Li was injured, so she blew up on the spot and pounced on the most suspicious croaking frog in the audience.

She didn't care what was right or wrong, she just wanted to beat up this stupid water frog.

Xu Qiansu stretched out his hand and pinched the back of her neck in the air, letting the pickpocket cat struggle in the air, but he didn't look at the pickpocket cat at all, just looked at Ma Li.

Morubéco also rushed to climb up to Marie's shoulder, and the cute little face was at a loss, and somehow the atmosphere became so stiff.

"Bu Te ......" Ibu raised his face aggrievedly and looked at Ma Li and Xu Qiansu, his big dark brown eyes began to be covered with a layer of mist, and he was about to shed tears.

She felt so scared.

Marie pursed her lips, crouched down and picked up Eevee, stroking the silky hair on her back, she should have wanted to say something else, but in the end she said, "Go back, you need to tell the doctor about the croaking frog." ”

"Okay." Xu Qiansu spat out a word.

The croaking frog wondered if it was all because of himself, scratched the back of his head in distress, and immediately looked at Yu Lijia as if asking for help.

Yurika snorted and twisted her little head, and then looked distressed, trotted over to the croaking frog, grabbed its wrist, and said, "Go and show the doctor if there's anything wrong with your body." ”

"Quack......

"I didn't notice it in time...... The state and mind of the croaking frog is my dereliction of duty. ”

Inside the institute, Dr. Bratano looked through the glass at the croaking frog resting on the hospital bed, muttered for a moment, and explained:

"It's always very talented, and it's never slackened in its cultivation, and when it's okay, I watch the battle video of Ash's Koga ninja frog...... Therefore, it must be longing for a trainer like Ash, who can have a heart and soul with it, and even become the second Koga ninja frog to evolve by bond......"

He said a lot, but neither Xu Qiansu nor Ma Li seemed to listen to it.

He couldn't help blinking his eyes and looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"And then? Why do frogs suppress their own evolution? "Luckily, there's Yurika here," she asked, looking up.

"Ahem...... Dr. Burratano coughed lightly, "The following is just my guess, as a Pokémon prepared for rookie trainers in the research institute, the croaking bubble frog will naturally be chosen by rookie trainers in the future...... The reason why it didn't evolve was because I was afraid that once it evolved into a croaking frog, I wouldn't give it to a rookie trainer......"

“…… In other words, it endured great pain and desperately suppressed the urge to evolve in order to be able to meet its future trainer. ”

Hearing this, Marley had a slight reaction, she raised her eyes to Burratano, and said, "Doctor, I hope you can give me this croaking frog." ”

Burratano breathed a sigh of relief and immediately laughed,

"It's supposed to be your Pokémon...... It trains desperately to become stronger, in order to be favored by future trainers, in order to protect its own trainers; It desperately suppressed evolution in order to meet the trainers of the future...... As a result, it almost hurt you, but it also has a bit of the impermanence of fate. ”

Ma Li nodded lightly and walked into the hospital room with Eevee in her arms, obviously needing to negotiate with the croaking frog.

Marley didn't care that the croaking frog almost killed her, but admired its tenacity, but still had to ask the croaking frog's opinion anyway.

If the croaking frog doesn't want to be her Pokémon, she naturally won't force it.

After Marley walked into the ward, Dr. Burratano took a few steps forward without a trace, approached Xu Qiansu, and patted him on the shoulder, "Quarrelsome?" ”

"Nope."

Dr. Burratano laughed, ignoring Xu Qiansu at all.

He glanced around a few times, then quietly took out a small bottle of perfume that had not been opened from his white coat, and said, "This is the highest-rated perfume in Miare, elegant but not demonic, and it has been preserved for thousands of years...... Only 50 bottles are sold a month, and it took me a lot of effort to get them...... In my experience, girl, there's no one who doesn't like perfume, I'll give it to you. ”

As he spoke, he directly stuffed it into Xu Qiansu's backpack, and without waiting for Xu Qiansu to refuse, he laughed and left, leaving the space.

How else to say that he is known as a public lover.

"Liane Ann?" Chirulian lay in Xu Qiansu's arms and looked up at him.

He understood the doctor's kindness, but Xu Qiansu didn't intend to coax Ma Li.

What does Ma Li mean by saying inexplicably that Xu Qiansu shouldn't help her?

Didn't treat him as a friend?

Xu Qiansu was holding back a fire in his heart.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

It was Gardelia calling.

"Hey, Miss Gardelia?"

"Huh? Your tone is not quite right~ Forget it, it has nothing to do with me...... Where are you? ”

"Miare, in the Kalos region, when we're done dealing with Pokémon, we'll go back to the Galar region."

"No, I have a private jet, I'll pick you up directly, and you'll be here in an hour...... We'll be able to get to Sinnoh tonight. ”

After briefly mentioning the location, Gardelia hung up.

Xu Qiansu put away her mobile phone, Ma Li had already walked out of the ward, and the croaking frog was gone, obviously having been subdued by her.

"Gadelia called, and she'll send a plane to pick us up." Xu Qiansu said lightly.

"Gardelia...... The Four Heavenly Kings and the Superpowers. Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu and said inexplicably.

It means that Gardelia is not from the same class as Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu didn't speak, since the matter has been done, there is naturally no reason to stay here anymore.

After a brief farewell, the two also left the institute.

"Marie Marie~" Yurijia ran over with her little short legs, took out her mobile phone from her small satchel and exchanged contact information with Marly, and gave Marley a handkerchief as a parting gift, before reluctantly saying goodbye to her.

This time, the two did not choose to ride the one-horned rhinoceros together, but called a taxi, and one sat on the side, without saying a word, to the place designated by Gardelia.

A private airport, a luxury private jet.

After the two of them silently boarded the plane with the Pokémon, the plane of unknown value flew directly out of Miaree City and flew towards the Sinnoh region.
