March 12th.

By the time the plane arrived at the town of Mupole in the Galel region, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Xu Qiansu and Ma Li ate something near the airport, and then walked through the streets and alleys towards the commercial street.

At this time, the Steel Raven Express had already left work, but since he had returned to Galel, he was not in a hurry for this night.

The rattan snake was lying on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, staring at the surrounding scenery with big burgundy eyes...... It was also the first time she had come to the Galel region.

"Pocha." She stretched out her little hand and pointed to the classical copper-colored street lamp next to the road, this style of street lamp, she had seen it for the first time.

"Street lamps, the last place for capitalists to settle down." Xu Qiansu grabbed the waist of the rattan snake with both hands, lifted her up, and said with a smile.

"Pocha?" The rattan snake crooked his little face and asked, what is a capitalist?

"Gardelia." Ma Li, who was walking aside, suddenly interjected at this moment.

"Huh?" Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at Ma Li, "How can you understand what the vine snake is saying?" ”

"As a trainer, you should naturally have keen observation and judgment, and if you can't even guess a problem of this level, your life's achievements will stop at barely supporting your family." Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu, then withdrew her gaze, tapped her chin with her fingers, and looked at the surrounding scene, "Before and after, the expression and tone of the vine snake ...... As long as you are a gym-level trainer, you can guess it. ”

Xu Qiansu blinked and said with a smile: "I guess your next sentence is, 'Instead of discussing this, let's go buy some gifts...... You're going to visit Mrs. Mo Fei, right? ’”

When the words fell, Ma Li tilted her head and looked at it, and a smile appeared in her delicate eyebrows, "Wrong, my idea is ......"

"While it's not too late, you can quickly find a flower shop and prepare tomorrow's magnolia flowers for me." Xu Qiansu paused, and then said, "That's it, right?" ”

Ma Li frowned slightly, then withdrew her gaze and looked ahead, "This judgment is not based on your judgment, but on what you know about me. ”

"Not denied? Did I guess right? ”

"Since you have decided to challenge the gym, it is not enough to improve the actual combat ability of the Pokémon, and your quality as a trainer should also be trained."

Ma Li did not answer directly, but paused, stopped in place, and then stretched out her finger and swiped to the side, "You go to the flower shop, I'll go to the gift shop." ”

"Splitting up has always been a taboo in horror movies."

"It's true that the plot is too retarded, but I'm not an ordinary person in the movie, I'm a trainer, and the dream demon is right next to me, and the two stores are not even a hundred meters apart......" Ma Li didn't give Xu Qiansu a chance to refute, and walked directly towards the gift shop not far away.

Xu Qiansu looked at Ma Li's back, but he didn't take a step to follow.

He looked in the direction that Marley was pointing, and on the other side of the road, there was a flower shop open.

He walked along.

When he left the flower shop, he found Marley already sitting on the bench in front of the flower shop, the gift box on her lap.

The street lamp on the side scattered the dim light on her body, and the dream demon floated beside Ma Li, and the shadow on the ground swayed gently.

"It's too slow." Marley was dissatisfied.

"This flower shop is very large, and it has branches all over the world, so I got a card." Xu Qiansu approached with the rattan snake in his arms, and the little dream demon floated forward and looked at him with wide eyes.

Xu Qiansu took out a white flower and handed it to it as if by magic.

The Dream Demon leaned down and giggled with the flower in his mouth.

"Get a card?" Ma Li stood up, tilted her head slightly, and then suddenly realized, "After all, we need transportation services from the United Region. ”

"Pocha Cha." The vine snake looked at the buildings on both sides of the street and held out his little finger again.

Most of the buildings in the Galel area are made of stone, which is undoubtedly more modern than the Sei area, but it is also a little more classical than the Sinnoh area.

Xu Qiansu pinched the soft little hand of the rattan snake, and then walked towards Mrs. Mo Fei's house with Ma Li carrying a gift box.

Xu Qiansu traveled around, and it was rare to go back to Mupole Town once, and he would not do anything about passing through the door three times without entering.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the streets like water, and the evening breeze blew through, bringing a hint of coldness.

The town is not as bustling as the city of the sea, there are not many bright neon lights, but it is also a famous town in the Galel area, so there are not many pedestrians on the streets at night.

The two came back from Mrs. Mo Fei's house and walked through the streets.

Xu Qiansu looked around, after the reconstruction of Muzhu Town, it had returned to its former state, but it was ......

"Compared to the Sinnoh region, it's really a lot worse." Xu Qiansu retracted his gaze and said.

"Galar is only a large island, resources, population, transportation location, etc., none of them can compare to the Sinnoh region, or even the Kanto region, the Chengdu region, plus the previous Galel region is the same as the Pardean region, which is very closed and rarely ......trades with the outside world," Marie explained, and then looked up at the street lamp...... There was an owl nighthawk standing on it, but the strange thing was that it was sleeping as a nocturnal Pokémon at the moment.

Ma Li picked up her mobile phone, took a few pictures of the sleeping owl Nighthawk, and continued:

However, since Rhodes became the president of the league, he has vigorously developed Pokémon battles, making them a national sport, and even holding Pokémon tournaments covering the whole world to develop the economy...... Therefore, the atmosphere and love for Pokémon battles in Galar are far greater than those in the rest of the outside world. ”

"Huh?" Xu Qiansu clapped his hands as if he suddenly realized, "So a Galel like me who is not interested in Pokémon battles is actually a freak." ”

Ma Li looked at the photo on the mobile phone screen in a new way, and only when she heard this glance did she glance at Xu Qiansu, "People like you, no matter where you come from, are considered freaks." ”

"Freak...... Have I been off Miss Mary lately? Xu Qiansu said, but saw Shanador pull his sleeve.

Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at it, then nodded knowingly, stood farther away, took out his mobile phone, and looked at Shanaiduo.

Standing under the street lamp, with pedestrians coming and going on the street and the full moon hanging on the horizon, she pulled her hair, pulled her small satchel, and then put her hands on her lower abdomen, looking dignified and virtuous, very cute.

Ma Li stood behind Xu Qiansu, crossed her arms, and watched silently.

Xu Qiansu adjusted the angle and took a photo for her.

"It's so cute." Xu Qiansu looked at the photos on the phone screen and said with a smile.

Shanaido smiled coquettishly, and began to feel that evolution was not so unacceptable, at least...... I've become cuter.

"The headshot is fine, but the way you take a full-body shot is really unique." Ma Li lightly tapped her toes, glanced at Xu Qiansu's mobile phone screen, and then said mercilessly.

"Miss Namari, come." Xu Qiansu handed over the mobile phone unconvinced.

Ma Li took the phone, tilted her head and thought about it, then squatted down and patted Zoroya who was standing at Xu Qiansu's feet.

"Huh?" Zoroa's face crooked before she reacted, and she stepped forward, and was picked up by Shanado.

Zoroa's big fluffy and cute tail was hunched and a little nervous...... The main reason is that she and Shanaiduo are not too familiar, and they are a little unaccustomed to such close contact.

Ma Li raised her phone, pressed the button, looked at it a few times, and then gently pushed Xu Qiansu, "You go too." ”

"Huh?"

"You've never taken a picture with them alone in all this time, have you?" Ma Li adjusted the various filters of the mobile phone camera, did not look up, and said calmly.

Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, but it was really ...... He glanced up at the full moon that looked like a silver platter, and thought to himself, if only the blue crow were here at the moment......

He shook his head slightly, then hugged the rattan snake and came to Shanaiduo's side.

Shanaiduo was a little embarrassed and gently stroked the bangs in front of his forehead, and then stretched out his little hand and put it on Xu Qiansu's shoulder.

The six-tailed man was lying on Xu Qiansu's other shoulder, while the little pouch beast was standing between Shanaiduo and Xu Qiansu with its little face up.

Marley held up her phone, and after a moment, pressed the button.

Click————

Marie put down her phone and looked at the screen...... On the screen, Shanaiduo, Six-Tails, Zoroa, and Six-Tails didn't look at their phones, they were looking at Xu Qiansu.

Only the little pouch stood a little cramped and restless because of the angle, looking at the phone with a small face...... But Xu Qiansu was looking at her with her eyes down.

There was only one Pokémon staring at the phone, and this photo was naturally not taken well...... But that's okay, that's it.

By the time Xu Qiansu and Ma Li came to the Pokémon Center, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.

But I saw Miss Joy standing in front of the door, her hands folded in her lower abdomen, waiting quietly in place.

"Miss Joy, long time no see." Xu Qiansu greeted.

Miss Joy exhaled lightly, tilted her head, and then tilted her little face, "Why did you change your hairstyle...... Want to look a little more manly this way? ”

"It's just my girlfriend's aesthetic."

"Girlfriend?" Miss Joy tilted her little face again, was slightly stunned, glanced at Marly, and immediately stopped discussing this topic, she turned around and walked towards the Pokémon Center, "Have you been to Cuixue Town?" ”

"Tomorrow morning."

"Hmm~" Miss Joy turned her back to Xu Qiansu and walked slowly to the counter, then looked at the two caretakers, and pointed to the corridor behind her, "Take the Pokémon of the two of them to check their bodies." ”

"Moon Funeral~" The caregiver raised her little face and looked at Shanaiduo, thinking to herself how she had evolved? It's only been four months, that's fast.

Then the steward looked at Zoroa again, slightly stunned.

Hey? What kind of Pokémon is this? They've never seen it before.

However, thinking of the little pouch beasts, they were also seeing them for the first time, so they came to the conclusion that Xu Qiansu was always accompanied by some inexplicable and unusual Pokémon, and it was better to get used to it.

After seeing the caretaker take Shanaiduo and them to the infirmary, Miss Joy retracted her gaze, looked at Xu Qiansu, and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

Although he simply ate something after getting off the plane, he was also a little hungry after walking for so long now, so Xu Qiansu nodded slightly.

Miss Joy smiled lightly and pointed to the rest of the hall, "Go and wait there." ”

Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, "Let's do it together, my cooking skills have improved a lot recently." ”

Ma Li crossed her arms and stood aside, but she didn't ask herself to go with her, but stretched out her hand to Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu handed her the backpack, and after Ma Li took it, she tilted her head and thought about it, and then said, "I want to eat braised pork." ”

"Okay." Xu Qiansu nodded slightly and chuckled.

With that, Ma Li walked to the resting place, then took out a book from her backpack and waited quietly.

Miss Joy withdrew her gaze from Marly, and then led Xu Qiansu to the kitchen.

She put on an apron...... A white apron with a Pokebi motif embroidered on it.

This is the New Year's gift that Xu Qiansu gave her at the beginning.

"I've heard Dale say that...... You're going to challenge the gym? Miss Joy opened the refrigerator, and the incandescent light reflected her snow-white pretty face.

Xu Qiansu casually picked up an old apron hanging on the wall and tied it, and nodded slightly, "Lilia is still with Miss Dale, I want to send her back to Alola first, and then go to Caolu Town to challenge Yarrow." ”

Ya Luo, the owner of the Grass Gym...... Galel's Champions Cup must be challenged in a certain order.

Yalo has a gentle personality and is strong, but he will adjust his tactics and appearance Pokémon according to the strength of the trainer...... In other words, he is often merciful, so he is assigned to guard the first gym in the Gym Challenge.

Therefore, basically more than ninety out of five challengers can successfully pass this first gym.

Miss Joy took out the ingredients, put them on the board, tapped her chin lightly, and muttered a little before saying, "Although Yarrow is often merciful, since you are a disciple of the martial arts master, he should have the intention of testing you...... So your challenge will be a bit harder than the rest of the trainers. ”

Xu Qiansu took the ingredients, put them in the sink and began to clean, hearing this, he nodded slightly, "I'm mentally prepared...... My Pokémon train hard every day, and I can't guarantee that we'll win every battle, but it's okay to fail...... As long as you can learn from experience. ”

"Hmm-~" Miss Joy deliberately lengthened her nasal voice, then glanced at Xu Qiansu, and said: "The first gym battle is generally 2V2, and given your identity, Yaluo may choose 3V3, Young Cotton and Bai Pengpeng will definitely fight, and the third Pokémon ...... Maybe it's the Apple Wrapping Dragon, or maybe it's the Plume Dragon......"

“…… Yaluo's trump card is generally thought to be Bai Pengpeng, but in fact, it is the Apple Wrapping Dragon and the Plumbing Dragon, both of which can be super giantized, and as a grass dragon attribute, they are not restrained by the fire system...... Many rookie trainers naively thought that he would suffer a big loss if he pinned all his hopes on the fire-type Pokémon as the owner of the Grass Gym. ”

"I'll take notice." Xu Qiansu listened silently, cleaned the vegetables, and handed them to Miss Joy.

Miss Joy's information was indeed useful to him, and after such a long time, Xu Qiansu had long ago been unable to remember such trivial things...... Although most of this information can be found on the official website of the alliance, the good intentions cannot be ignored.

Miss Joy held the kitchen knife, the blade of which cut through the vegetables and pressed against the board, making a soft sound, mixed with the subtle sound of Xu Qiansu cleaning the ingredients.

Neither spoke.

After a few moments, Miss Joy suddenly asked, "Where have you been these days?" ”

"Miss Dale didn't mention it to you?"

"A few simple mention."

Xu Qiansu briefly recounted the cause and effect of his trip to the Xicui area.

"Huh~? Miss Gardelia. Miss Joy began to pour oil into the pot, and with the sound of 'zizz', she asked again, "Has the Snow Maiden's trainer been found?" ”

"I don't have a clue yet." Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly.

"Really...... The world is so big, it's not easy to find someone. Miss Joy was suggesting that Xu Qiansu should give up.

"I still have time, I have to have a result." Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly.

The two chatted so casually, it was all a short matter in the parents.

……

March 13th, early in the morning.

Xu Qiansu waved lightly to Miss Joy and walked out of the Pokémon Center.

Miss Joy folded her hands in her lower abdomen and watched Xu Qiansu gradually move away.

"The Joy family is huge, and the genes are even more ...... Unique, but most of Miss Joy's ultimate fate is just to be placed in the Pokémon Center and spend the rest of her life like this...... In this regard, the Joy family ...... Maybe it's a little sick. Xu Qiansu looked ahead, hugged Zoroya, stroked the soft fur on her back, and whispered.

"It's a centuries-old tradition of theirs, and so far, no one has broken it, and no one has asked why Miss Joy is Miss Joy...... When you get to Snowy Town, you can ask Dale if she would like to continue to be Miss Joy, and if she says no, you can snatch her away by force and make her your underground lover...... It's romantic to think about such a hero saving beauty...... Although you will not be able to hide it from Gardelia afterwards, and she will be slaughtered in a fit of rage. Marley ran her fingers around the black hair on her shoulder, said casually, and couldn't help but smile at the end of her words.

The word 'slaughter' obviously treats Xu Qiansu as a certain ingredient, and it can be seen that Miss Ma Li really has a considerable degree of dissatisfaction with Xu Qiansu.

However, given that this dissatisfaction was Xu Qiansu's own doing, he had to endure it.

"Heroes save beauty...... Does Miss Marley often read the picture books that those little girls read? ”

Marie didn't answer...... They had arrived at the square of the Steel Raven Express.

She gently beckoned to an uncle with sunglasses, "Hello, go to Cuixue Town." ”

——————————

There is a team building today, and the code word will start at ten o'clock, so the code will not be 8000 today.

I'm a rookie.

Tomorrow must be 8000 words, otherwise I will write a 4000-word essay on Xu Qiansu and Gardelia in the group.
