"Go back?" Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at Liliai.

Lilia stared down at the edge of the window, as if it were such a rare treasure.

The setting sun shines through the window, like waves of water on her supple blonde hair, reflecting a dazzling and brilliant halo.

She nodded slightly, "Come to think of it, it's been nearly three months since I left home...... Recently, my mother has started to communicate with me from time to time, wanting me to go back to Alora. ”

Liliai's voice was soft, and she spoke slowly, as if every word she said had to be pondered for a while.

"That's ......," Xu Qiansu withdrew his gaze from Liliai's side face, and then said, "I'll send you." ”

Lilia didn't come as a surprise when she asked to leave...... After all, as early as Caolu Town, she said that she would probably stay by Xu Qiansu's side until May.

And Lilia has been traveling with him for so long, Xu Qiansu is fine at the moment, so it is okay to accompany Liliai to Alola.

But Lilia shook her head slightly, she stretched out her little hand and pulled down the brim of her hat, as if she felt ashamed to cover her eyes, "My private jet is still parked in Woodtown, and my mother has sent someone to pick ......me up."

"I've never been to Alola, and I want to see it now, but I can't?" Xu Qiansu's attitude was very resolute.

Lily's green eyes lifted from under the brim of her hat and looked up at Xu Qiansu.

Liliaire's eyes were beautiful, clear and pure, like jewels, like lakes, and in the setting sun, with a little bit of pale gold.

She looked at Xu Qiansu with these eyes like this, and after a while, she suddenly tilted her head and asked, "Today...... Is it April 29th? ”

"Hmm."

"Mom said the Aether Foundation people would come over on the afternoon of the 30th."

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, and then said with a smile, "I hope to let Miss Lusa Minai leave a few seats for us." ”

Lusa Minay, Lilia's mother.

"Miss Lusamina......" Lilia chuckled.

At this moment, Ma Li walked to the other side of the corridor with Morubec in her arms, and when she saw Xu Qiansu and Liliai, she gently beckoned to the two.

Xu Qiansu bowed lightly to Liliai, then turned around and walked in the direction of Ma Li

"Mr. Xu."

At that moment, Lilia suddenly stopped him.

"Huh?" Xu Qiansu looked back.

"After I leave, I hope you can be strong no matter what ......happens," Lily Ai paused, pondered a few words, and then looked at Xu Qiansu fixedly, and said in a gentle tone, "You can be strong." ”

"You?" Xu Qiansu smiled dumbly, "What kind of honorific do you use for me?" ”

When the words fell, Xu Qiansu spread his hands again, smiled, and said, "But I have recently provoked Team Rocket, if I am chased by them to the point of desperation, I hope Lilia can leave me an incognito channel in Alola." ”

"Team Rocket?" Lilia was stunned for a moment, and then covered her mouth and chuckled, "With Miss Cordelia here, it should be Team Rocket who should be incognito." ”

Xu Qiansu smiled and shook his head, and then walked in the direction of Ma Li.

Liliai looked at Xu Qiansu's back, put her hands behind her back, and shook them gently.

She whispered to herself, "What if...... It would be nice if it rained tomorrow. ”

"I've said hello to Miss Joy, Six-Tails, Shanaido are fine, but the steel crow's injuries are relatively serious, and he needs to stay at the Pokémon Center for treatment tonight, and he is expected to recover roughly at noon tomorrow." Ma Li looked up at Xu Qiansu and said calmly.

"Hmm...... Then I'll go back and eat, and I'll come to the Pokémon Center for a night. Xu Qiansu bowed his head lightly.

Marie nodded, and asked, "What are you talking to Lilia about?" ”

"Lilia has been out for too long, and she will return to Alora tomorrow, and Miss Lusa Minay will come to pick her up......" Xu Qiansu said, and glanced at Marlie's expression again, "Going to Alola?" There's a system called Z moves, and if you can master it, your strength will be of great benefit. ”

"If you want to send Liliai, why say so much." Mary gave him a blank look before she said, "It just so happens that I haven't been to Alola either." ”

Xu Qiansu laughed, "Alola is a good place, the blue sea, the warm and comfortable climate, and the coconut egg tree that is ~ so tall and neck so long, I heard that it is still a dragon." ”

Xu Qiansu stretched out his hand and gestured, and then said in an exaggerated tone, "There are still a lot of Pokémon with regional forms there, and they just happened to go to see the world." ”

Ma Li looked at Xu Qiansu, with a slight gentle smile in her light green eyes, as if she was angry, "Speaking so expressively, have you been to Alora?" ”

"I haven't been, but I'm very knowledgeable."

"Huh? Test you, is the orchid mantis a grass or an insect? ”

"Grass...... This kind of question has also been reduced to an exam question? ”

"Don't talk back, don't ask questions......" Ma Li squinted at Xu Qiansu before asking,

"The shape of the orchid mantis is very confusing, and anyone who sees her will think of her as a worm...... Pokémon similar to her also have the Tree, but the Tree is originally a rock-type Pokémon, and it disguises itself as a grass-type type, which can effectively deceive fire-type Pokémon that are restrained by it...... And the orchid mantis, whether it is grass or insects, are all restrained by fire...... Her disguise is not as effective as the tree...... So what's the point of its mimicry? ”

Xu Qiansu looked at Ma Li who asked a serious question, and when she finished speaking, Xu Qiansu pondered a little before he smiled, "The disguise of the orchid mantis flower will make the insect system mistakenly think that it is a companion and make it let down its guard, so it is for the insect Pokémon." ”

"Wrong." Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu with disdain, but she sneered and said quietly,

"It's because Alola has plenty of sunshine and the survival pressure of grass-type Pokémon is very small, while Orchid Mantis and Sweet Lengmeihou, as Alola's most widely distributed grass-type Pokémon, have a competitive relationship under the premise of less survival pressure...... That is, in order to compare who is the most beautiful grass-type Pokémon, the orchid mantis flower has evolved a human-like skirt and limbs like a sweet and cold queen, and this evolution actually does not have much effect on the survival of the orchid mantis......"

“…… So Mr. Xu, blind competition is not a good thing for survival, do you think it's right? Marley asked softly.

Xu Qiansu felt that Ma Li was satirizing his choice, which caused Ma Li to have to compete with Gardelia, and even involved Liliai......

Therefore, although Ma Li Fangcai seems to be empathetic, she is actually a little dissatisfied with Xu Qiansu racking her brains to persuade her to send Liliai...... That's when he was hinted at with such words.

This woman is so cute......

Xu Qiansu pretended not to understand, and replied with righteous words, "What is sweet and cold, the blue mantis flower and the like...... It's not as cute as my little green snake. ”

Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu, then turned around, leaving only Xu Qiansu with a slender and soft back...... Too lazy to bother with him anymore.

After Shanaiduo's injuries recovered and the six tails completely absorbed the medicinal power and woke up, everyone went back to the hotel together.

Although Lulina is the loser, the injuries of the armored warriors, the ice goose and the devouring turtle are much lighter than those of the steel crow, so after curing the Pokémon, she has already returned early.

By the time Xu Qiansu returned to the hotel, the sky was completely dark, the moon was hanging high, and the neon lights on the streets were dazzling and colorful.

Xu Qiansu took out the room card, opened the door, and looked up, Gardelia was already sitting at the small table, as if she was closing her eyes to recuperate, there was no light in the room, the soft moonlight passed through the window, sprinkled on her pretty face, and the quiet atmosphere lingered in the room.

There are all kinds of side dishes on the table, and they are still steaming...... I don't know if it's just done, or if it's a hot dish from time to time.

Hearing the sound, Gadelia opened her eyes, raised her eyes, and after looking at Xu Qiansu for a few moments, she had a little smile on her delicate face, "I'm back......"

The voice is languid and a little soft.

When Xu Qiansu first met Jiadeliya, what kind of person was she?

…… But in any case, no one could have imagined that Gadelia would cook a meal like this, quietly waiting for someone to come back.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?" Xu Qiansu adjusted the lamp to a soft, warm color before turning it on, so that it would not make Gardelia feel uncomfortable.

Gadelia stood up, "I don't like to be too bright unless I have to...... And I just squinted for a while. ”

Because Gardelia likes to sleep, she naturally prefers a dim environment.

Xu Qiansu took out the Poké Ball and released the Pokémon before turning his head to look at Gardelia, "It's not common for your Pokémon to eat." ”

"What are you busy with every day, how much time are you with me?" Gadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu, "They've already eaten it." ”

Xu Qiansu smiled, took out elf food and moo milk from the refrigerator, and began to prepare dinner for the Pokémon.

Shanaido rarely eats elven food now, and she sits down at the small table with a straight posture, curiously surveying the food on the table.

"Win?" Gadelia propped up her side face, looked at Shanaiduo, and asked.

"Shanai? Shanai Sanai. Shanaiduo was stunned, but she didn't expect Jiadelia to talk to her, and because Jiadelia always robbed her of her vegetarian at night, Shanaiduo didn't like her very much, but Shanaiduo still raised her chin, with a smug look on her little face.

"Your magic tablet." Gadelia asked casually, then looked away from Shanado's face, and then flicked her fingers and handed the magical tablet to Shanato.

If Shanaiduo wants to participate in the gym challenge, naturally he can't carry the magic stone tablet with him...... Therefore, today it is entrusted to Cordelia for safekeeping.

Cresalia, who was peeking quietly outside the window, looked stunned, and her eyes flashed with a little doubt, but then she was surprised and understood.

That's it!

It's the breath of the same clan left on that magical slate!

I see!

The root of it all lies in that slate!

At the same time, Cresalia's heart couldn't help but feel a little hot.

This is her natural thirst for a superpower-based Pokémon, a superpower-based treasure.

She wanted to get her hands on the magical slate.

Even if it's just a touch.

Even if it's just to feel the breath.

She was outside the window, staring directly at the Holy Magical Slate in Shanaiduo's hand until Shanaiduo placed it in her small satchel.

"Sand?" Shanaiduo was slightly stunned and turned his head to look out the window...... Nothing.

Shanaiduo tilted his little head, but saw that Xu Qiansu had already arranged the elf food and sat cross-legged at the small table.

He served a bowl of rice for Gadelia and Shanaiduo, and said, "Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Alola." ”

"Huh?" Gadelia took the small bowl, and without raising her eyelids, she answered casually.

"First, this gym battle made me realize how weak my strength is, and if I have to train for a month before each gym challenge, it will inevitably be bad...... And the Z move in the Alola region is extremely powerful, and the way to obtain it is easier than the MEGA evolution in the Carlos region......"

"Second, Ash is also in Alola, and I happened to go there to discuss with him about the evolution of Shanaido's MEGA."

Xu Qiansu took a bite of rice into his mouth, and then sandwiched a piece of green vegetables for Shanaiduo and Jiadeliya, and explained.

Without mentioning Lilia, she exerts the charm of language to the extreme.

"Lilia going back to Alola?" Gadelia picked up a piece of tofu, put it on top of the rice, and asked casually.

Xu Qiansu: "......"

If Gadelia had used mind-reading, it would not have been a question...... Are the girls you like too smart?

Shanaido learned the posture of Gardelia eating, chewing the rice gracefully, and looking at the two of them with big golden eyes.

"Lilia is young, not yet fifteen, and she can't be allowed to go home alone." Xu Qiansu decided to answer honestly.

"Didn't her family send anyone to pick her up? Do you need to send it specifically? Gardelia asked in a lazy tone without lifting her eyelids.

Xu Qiansu: "......"

The rattan snake sat on the tatami mat, ate a few elf foods and pushed them aside, turned to pick up the cup that was almost bigger than her with a rattan whip, gulped and drank a large mouthful of moo milk, and then picked up the cake specially prepared for her by Xu Qiansu with his small hands, squinted his eyes and took a bite...... Then he moved his gaze to Xu Qiansu and Jiadelia.

"Lilia has been on such a trip with us for so long, and it is obviously rude to ignore her like this...... And if you want to say that you can't bear to be together for so long, that's still a little bit. Xu Qiansu decided to answer more honestly.

This time Gardelia reacted, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, and made a soft 'pop' sound on the small table.

Xu Qiansu also put down the dishes and chopsticks in a good manner, looking like he had already known his mistakes and let you learn a lesson.

Gadelia squinted at Xu Qiansu, there was no expression on her pretty face, and she didn't speak, but picked up the glass, took a sip of moo milk, and then licked some milk stains on her red lips.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyes to look at Gadelia's seductive red lips.

Gadelia's apricot eyes narrowed slightly.

Xu Qiansu silently withdrew his gaze.

"Then go ahead." After a moment, Gadelia put down the glass and said slowly.

Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, and Jiadelia actually agreed......

"Really?"

"If you ask more, you won't want to go anywhere." Gardelia picked up the bowl and began to eat.

Xu Qiansu laughed, "You're so good." ”

"Of course, there is no better woman in the world than me." Gardelia's eyebrows bent slightly, and she said confidently, "The skin is snow-white, the touch is also very good, it is smooth and soft to the touch, the hair is also good-looking golden, and the family also has countless wealth, as a trainer, the strength is even more at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the body is also perfect......"

As she spoke, Gadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu, "If you don't cherish it, I'll ...... it."

Gadelia paused.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a straight face, "If I have something to make you angry, you can bring it up, but you can't put it aside and practice ......it."

Jiadelia put down the small bowl with a snap, supported the small table with one hand, leaned out her upper body, stretched out her other small hand to grab Xu Qiansu's face and squeeze it hard, and sneered, "Practice yourself!?" How dare you say such a thing to me? My body is given to you, everything is given to you, even if you don't cherish it, the rest of my life is yours, naturally, the rest of your life is also mine! ”

Xu Qiansu held Jiadeliya's little hand and said indistinctly, "Then what did you want to say just now?" It can't be anything like leaving me anyway. ”

"I'm leaving you?" Gadelia's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was a little louder, "Isn't this what I should be worried about?" Marley is eyeing you, Lilia is liking you, and Dale is almost moving the entire Joey family out! ”

Xu Qiansu clenched Jiadelia's small hand, and also leaned closer to Jiadeliya, and said, "No." ”

"What?"

"No matter what happens, I won't leave you."

"Love words are too old-fashioned." Gadelia let go of the small hand that was pinching Xu Qiansu's side face, looked at Xu Qiansu's eyes, and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"The old is the old, but it means ......" Before Xu Qiansu's words fell, Gardelia stepped forward, grabbed the placket of Xu Qiansu's chest, and kissed Xu Qiansu's lips.

Shanaiduo put down the small bowl, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

The vine snake cake couldn't eat anymore, she directly threw the cake on the plate, looked away, picked up an elf food, and bit it hard as if she had a grudge against the elf food.

The six-tailed small mouth opened slightly, and the narrow and charming fox eyes looked a little sluggish at the moment, staring directly at Xu Qiansu and Jiadelia.

Zoroa blinked, then looked away, staring at the wall behind him.

Only the little pouch tapped its chin with its fingers, looked at the rest of the Pokémon, tilted its little face again, and then picked up the plate and continued to eat the rest of the elven food.

Creselia quietly poked out her little head, and when she saw this, her little face turned red again, and she retracted her little head.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Qiansu left the room, came to the corridor, pondered for a while, and knocked on the door of the little master Caidou.

Click.

Caidou was dressed in a simple white regular dress and appeared in Xu Qiansu's sight.

She glanced Xu Qiansu up and down, turned sideways, and while motioning for Xu Qiansu to come in, she asked, "You behaved well today." ”

Although Master Caidou didn't go to the scene, he must have seen Xu Qiansu's battle screen through the live broadcast.

Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, and did not step into the door, but issued an invitation, "The steel armored crow is still in the Pokémon Center, and I plan to spend the night there tonight...... Want to come out and walk together? ”

Xu Qiansu wants to go to Alola, so naturally it is impossible to bring the little master of Caidou...... So tomorrow, it's time to separate.

In the past month, Xu Qiansu and Caidou have been getting along with nothing more than a special training together, and now they are about to leave...... Xu Qiansu felt that it was better to chat with the little master who was afraid of loneliness.

Caidou was slightly stunned, looked Xu Qiansu up and down again, and then nodded silently, cleaned up briefly, and left the room.

The two took the elevator down the stairs and left the hotel.

The evening breeze passes, bringing a little chill.

The streets are full of colors, and they are full of the bustling meaning of the city's night scene.

"Huh......" Caidou let out a breath, reached out and pulled the broken hair from his ear, and then raised his eyes to look at Xu Qiansu, "Ready to leave?" ”

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, "With the Water System Badge, naturally there is no reason to stay in Shuizhou Town anymore...... I'm going to take a trip to Alola next. ”

"Yes." Caidou withdrew his gaze from Xu Qiansu's face and didn't ask any more.

"Going to buy some desserts?" Xu Qiansu asked with a smile.

"Nope." Caidou shook his head slightly, judged the location, and then walked towards a street, "Let's drink." ”

"Drinking?" Xu Qiansu and Caidou walked side by side, slightly stunned, but he didn't express any opinions, just drink it, Caidou Little Master is twenty years old, he is seventeen years old, and it's not that he can't drink.

Both of them are not talkative, so they didn't say anything all the way, walked through the streets and alleys, came to the commercial street, and walked into an elegantly decorated bar.

Qing bar, also called a casual bar.

No DISCO, no dancing girls, no ear-popping music...... This is the place to simply drink.

The two of them found a casual seat, and the band was playing soothing soft music on the stage of the clear bar.

In the bar, several young girls dressed as JK, as well as several mature beautiful women who drank alone, have been staring at Xu Qiansu since he came in.

But when he saw the colored beans beside Xu Qiansu, he had to silently withdraw his gaze, but he still secretly looked at Xu Qiansu for a while, and even wanted to take out his mobile phone and take a few photos of Xu Qiansu.

Caidou picked up the menu and casually asked, "What to drink?" ”

"I drink what you drink." Xu Qiansu propped up his side face and looked around...... He'd never been to a place like this.

"Two cups of gin and tonic." Caidou bowed lightly at the bartender and said.

Gin & Tonic is a simple and common cocktail in the bar with tonic water and a few drops of lemonade.

"Master Caidou often comes to this kind of place to drink?" Xu Qiansu glanced at the surroundings for a few moments before retracting his gaze and asked.

"No, alcohol hurts the body, so never came."

"Huh? So how are you ...... today?"

"You're leaving, can't I have a few drinks?" Caidou squinted at Xu Qiansu with a calm expression.

Xu Qiansu was asked.

He had no choice but to ask again, "How much does Master Caidou drink?" ”

"My master was an alcoholic, so I secretly drank some when I was a kid." Caidou put down the menu and answered honestly.

"When you were a child?" Xu Qiansu tilted his head to look at her, "When was the last time you drank?" ”

"Twelve."

Xu Qiansu grabbed Caidou's wrist and was about to get up and leave.

Caidou broke free of it and said angrily, "Drink some and drink it, what are you afraid of?" ”

"If Master Caidou is drunk, I can't be sure to restrain you."

"I'm not going crazy in front of my apprentices." Caidou glanced at Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu had no choice but to sit down on the spot again and reminded, "If you feel that your mind is starting to have dizziness, don't drink it." ”

"I don't need you to remind you."

……

"Master Caidou?" Xu Qiansu looked at Caidou, who was lying on the table and was unconscious, and called her softly.

At the hand of Caidou, there is still more than half of that cocktail...... In fact, the colored beans were just a small sip.

Xu Qiansu sighed lightly, drank the cocktail in the cup, settled the bill, got up and picked up the colored beans, let her put her on her shoulders, and walked towards the outside of the bar.

Leaving the Qing bar, the slightly cool cold wind blew, which seemed to make Caidou sober up a little, she opened her eyes, looked around a few times dizzily, and stared at Xu Qiansu's side face dizzily, and after a while, she asked, "Who are you?" ”

Caidou's tone is like an ignorant little girl of eight or nine years old.

"Your apprentice." Xu Qiansu replied briefly and walked towards the Pokémon Center with Caidou.

"Huh?" Caidou crooked her little face, and thought dizzily for a while, as if she understood the meaning of the word 'apprentice', and after a while, she muttered to herself, "Apprentice? ”

"Apprentice." Xu Qiansu nodded.

"How can I still take in apprentices? It's a strange thing. Caidou muttered to herself suspiciously, and her tone was still like that of a little girl.

"What's so strange?"

"Pokémon battles are the mainstream, who will ask me to learn martial arts?"

"Me."

"Oh......" The conversation between the two was short and concise, as if one more word would be lost.

Caidou stared blankly at his toes and stopped talking.

Passing by a dessert shop with a sign that says 'KOL'...... It's a dessert shop that Caidou once mentioned, and the taste is okay.

Xu Qiansu held the colored beans, and the lights in the dessert shop sprinkled on the two of them.

"Huh?" Caidou raised his little face and looked at the luxurious storefront with a misty and ignorant expression.

Xu Qiansu helped Caidou walk in, and Caidou let Xu Qiansu take her to various places...... When he came out, Xu Qiansu's body was already full of all kinds of packaging bags wrapped in desserts.

The two supported each other like this, silently walking on the bustling and crowded streets.

After walking for a while, he came to a park, and Xu Qiansu asked, "Are your arms sore?" ”

Caidou's hand was on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, and he kept maintaining a posture, and it was impossible not to be sore.

So Xu Qiansu just asked casually, then came to the bench and sat down with Caidou.

Caidou's body swayed, and he almost lay on the bench...... Xu Qiansu had no choice but to let her rely on herself.

He sorted out the desserts he bought, adjusted the position of the packaging bag, and then turned his head to look at the dizzy colored beans, and said, "Don't drink in the future." ”

"What~"

"Don't drink."

"Why~"

"It's easy for you to get drunk."

"Drunk ~ What about ~ "

"There will be accidents, and people will take advantage of them." Xu Qiansu rolled his eyes, thinking to himself how Caidou could get drunk like this...... But this is also normal, after all, everyone's physique is different.

"You don't want me to be taken advantage of~" Caidou was obviously dizzy, and he was completely following Xu Qiansu's words and asking questions at random.

Therefore, Xu Qiansu didn't say much, and saved Caidou and asked some inexplicable questions.

He leaned back on a bench and looked at the night sky.

Caidou leaned on his shoulder, and between breaths, the warm aroma hit Xu Qiansu's side face.

The evening breeze blew through the two of them.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Qiansu picked up the colored beans again and walked towards the Pokémon Center.

"Apprentice~" At this moment, Caidou suddenly said.

In vain...... Caidou has never called Xu Qiansu like this, but at this moment, she can still recognize Xu Qiansu, and it seems that her consciousness is already a little sober.

Of course, it is just from ten percent drunk to nine out of eight drunk.

"Huh?" Xu Qiansu responded casually.

"You're leaving?"

"Hmm."

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know, maybe days, maybe weeks, maybe months."

"Oh......" Caidou replied in a low tone, and after a while, she raised her little face and said dizzily, "Then when you come back, remember to contact me." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Miss you."

Xu Qiansu was silent for a few moments before nodding lightly and asking, "What about your master?" ”

"Dead."

Xu Qiansu didn't say much, and after a while, he asked again, "What about your parents?" ”

"My parents were miners in the town, and I had an accident when I was a child."

“…… That's right. ”

"Hmm~" Caidou pressed the center of gravity of his body on Xu Qiansu's body and walked forward with his steps.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and walked forward silently.

"Where's the apprentice?" Caidou suddenly asked, his tone innocent.

"What?"

"Parents."

"I'm an orphan."

"Oh...... Never mind. Caidou smiled a little coquettishly, stretched out his hand to touch Xu Qiansu's head, and said innocently, "It's okay to treat me as a mother." ”

Xu Qiansu rolled his eyes, "Master is Master...... What mom? ”

"You don't want to?"

"I'm seventeen, you're twenty, what do you say?"

"Nonsense!" Caidou suddenly made a louder voice, and then lowered his voice again, "My twentieth birthday hasn't passed yet, it's nineteen." ”

"Yes, yes, nineteen." Xu Qiansu smiled, "This year is nineteen, tomorrow is eighteen, and the year after next is nineteen...... That's right. ”

"That's right~"

Caidou laughed happily.

Xu Qiansu gently laughed with her.

The two snuggled up like this, walking under the colorful neon lights, walking through the bustling streets of Shuizhou Town, past the surging crowd around them, and walking towards the Pokémon Center.
