Dense snowflakes fall from the sky, and when the wind blows, they scatter everywhere.

Stepping into August, in the middle of summer, I have seen the tail of early autumn.

The snow-capped mountains are still full of chills.

The bonfire in the hall burned slowly, spreading wisps of warmth.

Xu Qiansu sat cross-legged around the bonfire and played with the lily root doll, holding his mobile phone in one hand to surf the Internet, which was obviously more relaxed and comfortable than the rest of the players.

The online forums are also boiling to discuss who can win the championship, but in the end, they all unanimously become, 'It must be Xu Qiansu's guy, there is no suspense at all...... Boring. ’

But he's really powerful, he only sends out one Pokémon every time, but he can still push the opponent. ’

'Xu Qiansu shouldn't have the strength of the other regional champions, right? ’

'Isn't it unfriendly to other players?' ’

'In the game, the most important thing is to win or lose, what is the matter if you are not friendly? ’

'Isn't the purpose of the first league tournament to choose the champion?' ’

I really hope Xu Qiansu can fight with Zhulan. ’

The two are friends, and it is estimated that they have had many discussions in private. ’

'Wait for the Champions Cup in November, there will be no suspense in this tournament anymore. ’

"Don't, I think Ash is good, I've been following him since the Guandu area. ’

Xu Qiansu put down his mobile phone, turned his head to look at Ma Li who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and tilted his chin slightly, "In the future, please call me the first champion of Alola, as the first generation, I want to find a desert island to build a village, and the name has been thought of, 'Konoha', take the meaning of 'where the leaves fly, the fire is endless', how about it?" ”

Several girls went skiing outside, Xu Qiansu thought that the rest of the players were nervously preparing for the competition, but he was playing recklessly, which would inevitably hurt the self-esteem of others, so he stayed in the hotel for a week and rarely went out, avoiding showing up.

He is a person who has a special tenderness in the details.

"Not very well, I still prefer Qingxu to Alora." Ma Li put down the book and glanced at Xu Qiansu.

Her little fair face was reddened in the firelight...... She suffered from the cold, a little cold, so she stayed with Xu Qiansu.

Jiadelia didn't want Ma Li to be alone with Xu Qiansu, but Zhulan pulled her to ski again, thinking that Ma Li was also half of Xu Qiansu's girlfriend, and Jiadelia let it go.

"It's such a good meaning...... Now please me, and I can ask someone to carve your stone image on the rock wall. Xu Qiansu said dissatisfied.

"I don't like high-profile and egotistical people."

"Actually, I think Ash has a lot of hope of winning the championship, if Xiao Xingyun plays, I have no Pokémon to deal with except Mewtwo, and it is not clear who the Alola regional champion will be." Xu Qiansu sighed lightly, "What's more, he also has a Z move called Ten Million Volts, which is so powerful that even Kapu Mingming can hardly resist...... So the two of us are actually five or five, and I hope Miss Ma Li can cheer me on. ”

"Come on." Ma Li lowered her head and looked at the book, and said in a flat tone.

"May I ask what made Miss Marley unhappy? Can it be more emotional? ”

Ma Li cast her eyes on Xu Qiansu's face, tilted her head slightly, frowned slightly, and her voice was calm and calm, "I don't think you will lose, and of course there is no need to cheer." ”

"......" Xu Qiansu stood up, with a youthful spirit on his face, "With Miss Ma Li's words, even if I have to fight against Miss Zhulan next, I have the confidence to win!" ”

Smack-

The lily root doll's leather ball smashed on Xu Qiansu's stomach and almost bounced into the bonfire, and the lily root doll hurriedly rushed into the fire to save the ball, completely unaware that she was a grass-based Pokémon.

Xu Qiansu grabbed the back of the lily root doll with one hand and lifted her out, then leaned over and sat down to continue playing with the lily root doll.

Ma Li looked at his side face with a smile helplessly, closed the book, approached and sat next to Xu Qiansu with her hands on her skirt, looked at the lily root doll, and said softly: "You plan to play with her for the rest of your life?" ”

The dark fragrance around him hit people, Xu Qiansu put his elbows on his knees, and propped up his side face, "If she wants to play with other things, I can also accompany her." ”

The big black eyes of the lily root doll are very intelligent, and she doesn't know that the two of them are talking about her at all, so she just holds the ball and throws it around with Xu Qiansu.

"I mean her head."

"It's smart or not...... Xu Qiansu paused, picked up the small waist of the lily root doll with both hands, raised it above her head to look at her, and said with a smile: "But I definitely still hope you can say a complete sentence." ”

"Sunshine!" The lily root doll began to struggle in Xu Qiansu's hands again, as if Xu Qiansu was some kind of bad person.

"Xu Qiansu-" A very energetic voice came from far and near, and when he turned his head, Xiao Zhi was wearing a thick down jacket, standing at the door of the hotel and waving to him excitedly.

Xu Qiansu blinked, put down the lily root doll that couldn't help but struggle, and walked towards Xiaozhi.

"Sunshine~" The lily root doll raised her little face and stared directly at Xu Qiansu's back.

Ma Li's fair pretty face turned her head to look at the lily root doll, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Rustling ————

The two of them walked on the snow, making a slight noise over the snow.

Xiao Zhi's expression was unusually calm at the moment, he looked at Xu Qiansu and said with a smile: "Although the other players are also very powerful, I think that the people who will go to the finals in the end must be the two of us." ”

"Beware of Dr. Kukuy sending Kapu Mingming to kill us."

"Kapu Mingming." Ash laughed, then shook his head and stood still, "I've had a hunch that you'd be my rival since I was camping in winter, but I didn't expect us to meet in the arena so soon. ”

"There is no first, there is no second, I will not show mercy, the Pokémon want this champion, and I hope their efforts will be rewarded." Xu Qiansu didn't plan to push the boat down the river and lose to Ash.

"Well, I can't ask for it!" Ash's eyes were filled with the fireness peculiar to a teenager, "I'll burn everything, do my best, Koga Ninja Frog, Charizard, and this guy ......"

"Pika~" Pikachu leaned on Ash's shoulder and beckoned to Xu Qiansu.

Ash and Pikachu clapped their hands lightly, looked at each other and smiled, the sleeves slipped slightly, and the black Z bracelet on the wrist was faintly visible.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows lightly, "Have you decided to use the Pokémon stored in Dr. Ohki?" ”

In order to make his partners who travel to a region with him feel involved, Ash basically only uses newly accepted Pokémon in every league tournament, except for that year's Sinnoh regional tournament.

"After all, you don't have to go all out, and I don't have the confidence to beat you." Ash grinned, showing his white teeth and a hearty smile, "I'll be working on your lineup this week." ”

"In the previous auditions, I only used the vine snake, the pouchmon, the nine-tails, the dream demon, the steel crow, and the Creseria...... That doesn't mean I only have them. Xu Qiansu reminded.

Ash was slightly stunned, "The other top eight players can always force some, right?" ”

"Unless Dr. Kukuy pulls out Kapu Mingming, he won't be able to force much." Xu Qiansu's voice is peaceful.

Not conceited, he has studied the lineup of the top eight players, although there are some tricky guys among them, and there are even ultimate beasts and 'second-level gods'.

But for the ultimate beast of the same personality, he has tens of thousands of them in his house.

It may be tricky against the enemy, but it doesn't affect Xu Qiansu to rely on these few Pokémon to win...... The big deal is that there are also snowstorm horses, Mewtwo and Shanaido to cover the back, and even Leshiram will play if necessary.

He doesn't do anything to tie himself down and ban his own Pokémon...... Regardless of the competition, only the champion will be remembered.

Ash stretched out his hand, "Let's decide the winner in the final." ”

"You won't be disappointed." Xu Qiansu held Ash's hand.

Ma Li held her chin with her little hand and looked at the lily root doll running around the room with a leather ball, and after pondering for a few seconds, she still stood up, picked up the red scarf and tied it, and put on a beige knitted sweater.

Shanaiduo was bored, sitting on the sofa and bombarding Xu Qiansu with a mobile phone.

"Why haven't you come back?" "Is it possible that guy wants to duel you in private?" Etcetera.

Seeing this, he was slightly stunned, and then his expression was slightly happy, thinking that Ma Li was going to find Xu Qiansu, so he immediately stood up, "Shanai Shanai~"

Ma Li picked up the hairpin and pinched half of her hair, revealing half of her snowy and delicate side face, and replied flatly: "I'm not going to find Xu Qiansu." ”

"Shanai?" Shanaiduo tilted his face.

Marley was dressed neatly, so she grabbed the lily root doll running all over the ground and held it in her arms.

"Sunshine!?" The lily root doll was a little afraid of Marley, so it was quiet in her arms and did not struggle at all.

"I won't be there for long, just to find Dale." With that, Ma Li pushed the door open, and the snow outside the house was a little heavier.

Shanaiduo sat down in place again, quietly waiting for Xu Qiansu to come back...... After all, it was impossible for Ma Li to abduct the lily root doll.

Dale also helps out at the Pokémon Center, and there are competitions every day, so there are Pokémon injured every day, and the workload is very large, and Dale is often busy from morning to night.

The hotel where the group stayed was a little distance from the Pokémon Center, and Marie walked through the snow, and in a short time her jet-black hair was dyed with fine snowflakes.

Arriving at the periphery of the Pokémon Center, it was already a crowded scene, Marley walked into the Pokémon Center, the heating of the air conditioner made Marley spit out a few mouthfuls of white gas, patted off the snowflakes on her body, and looked at the faces of several Miss Joy who were in a hurry, to be honest, she was a little admired Xu Qiansu's ability to accurately identify Dale from so many Miss Joey.

If he had twin sisters, he would probably be able to judge who was the older sister and who was the younger sister...... Thinking of this, Ma Li felt a little inexplicable happiness in her heart.

Miss Joy in Alola has a skin close to wheat, while Dale has snow-white skin and a delicate texture, which is easy to recognize.

When Marie found Dale, she was sitting in the apothecary dispensing healing potions.

There are a dazzling array of large and small bottles and cans on the counters around, and the light is slightly dim.

"Marry? What are you here to do? Dale was slightly stunned.

"I'll talk to you about this little guy." Marley gestured with her chin to the lily root doll lying obediently in her arms.

"Huh?" Dale shifted her gaze to the lily root doll, and her apricot eyes were a little puzzled, "She...... Many of my sisters have diagnosed that this kind of function, which is missing due to some accidents at birth, can basically be regarded as a congenital deficiency...... If you want to be cured, I'm afraid you can only find a legendary Pokémon. ”

Ma Li pulled over the chair and sat down upright, her little face was a little red because of the cold, but her expression was still very calm, and she pondered for a while before saying: "The Lei Guanwang is both a grass type and a superpower department...... Could it be that there is nothing he can do? ”

"I wasn't there when Su Su went to the Crown Snow Field, but he must have asked Lei Guanwang...... Since this little guy is still like this now, it can only prove that the Lei Guanwang is helpless. Dale took out a few elf food from the drawer and fed them to the lily root doll in the palm of her hand.

"If you can't even be the Thunder Crown King, then there is no hope for the rest of the legendary Pokémon......" Marley muttered to herself.

"I can't say for sure, after all, the abilities of each legendary Pokémon are different, maybe there are such Pokémon?" Dale tapped her chin with her finger and chuckled again, "It's like going back in time, going back in time to the time when the little guy was born, even if it's a premature baby, I have the confidence to keep her healthy." ”

The lily root doll holds the elf food in her small hand and stuffs it into her mouth, only eating in her eyes.

Splinters.

There were a few chaotic noises in his ears, Dale looked at it when he heard it, and stood up, "Tanabata Blue Bird, tell me if you have any medicinal materials you want, and I'll help you get it~"

"Why is Tanabata Bluebird here?" Ma Li was slightly stunned and asked.

Tanabata Bluebird responded a few words, and there was nothing wrong with the tone, so Dale sat down with the hem of the uniform and explained, "Carelia asked her to develop it, uh...... A gadget that allows trainers and Pokémon to share their senses......"

Dale had the impression that this was something that Cordelia was going to give to Marry, and she couldn't help but hesitate a little, and only continued after a while:

"It just so happens that the Alliance has sent a lot of precious medicinal materials from all over the world to the Pokémon Center, many of which are rare treasures, and it seems that Kukui cares a lot about this first Alliance Conference...... There are so many medicinal materials, you don't have to waste it too much, I'll let the Tanabata Blue Bird take it. ”

Dale's tone was slightly proud, like a silly little daughter-in-law who went back to her parents' house after getting married and stole the heirloom to her husband.

"I can share the sensual ...... with Pokémon," Marley muttered to herself.

"That's right, I heard that it is the most proud work of the Tanabata Blue Bird, and it took hundreds of years to make it, but she is rare, and she usually hides in the feathers and refuses to take it out...... Unless Xu Qiansu wants to use it. Dale took a sip of the hot tea and said with a smile: "She has been researching and improving during this time, and now with the help of these rare medicinal materials, she should be able to develop some new effects." ”

"Can it help this little guy?" Ma Li held up the lily root doll that was stuffed in her mouth.

"Ah, I don't know...... Tanabata Blue Bird! Come here! Dale called the Tanabata Bluebird over.

The snow-white feathers of the Tanabata bluebird are a little dirty, and the little head is poked out and looks at it, curious at a glance.

Ma Li was silent for a while, and then said to Dale and Qixi Blue Bird: "I have some ideas, don't talk to Xu Qiansu......"

The two girls and one bird whispered for a while, and then Dale exclaimed, "This is too risky! ”

"Since there is a time limit, it is theoretically possible to come back." Ma Li hugged the lily root doll tightly, was silent for a while, and then said: "The magical slate is an artifact of the soul...... When the time comes, I will lend the magical slate to the Tanabata Bluebird to study for a period of time. ”

Tanabata Bluebird was a little hesitant and wanted to say something...... But the two girls couldn't understand what she spoke, so she had to bow her head slightly, indicating that she would do her best.

"Why do you want to do this?" Dale was a little frightened.

"He has done a lot for me, and many times his life has been in danger." Ma Li smiled faintly, her expression was quiet and soft, "Of course it's not too much for me to take a risk for him." ”

Dale was silent for a moment before whispering, "Don't follow in the footsteps of the melting moon. ”

"I'm here, and so is the little one." Ma Li held up the lily root doll and sighed lightly, "At most, it's just a different way to live in the world." ”

Dale was silent.

Ma Li said: "Don't tell him about this matter, it's not that I want to be self-satisfied and self-moving...... It's just that he will definitely not agree if he knows it. ”

Dale was silent for a long time before bowing her head slightly, "Whether it can succeed or not is still between the two words...... But I'll try. ”

Ma Li lifted the lily doll with bulging cheeks, looked up into her eyes, and sighed softly, "Little one, I'm about to give everything for you...... I don't want you to thank me, but at the very least, you need to know what you're here for, and not be as confused as you are now. ”

The lily root doll couldn't understand what Ma Li was saying, and she thought that Ma Li was playing with her, so she raised her hands high and grinned, silly and silly.

Marley stayed in the Pokémon Center for half an hour, and Dale still had to be busy with work, so she couldn't rush the matter, so she walked away.

Halfway through, the snow was much heavier, and the goose feathers were falling haphazardly, not at all as hot as the midsummer heat of early August.

The snow was so heavy that it almost obscured the view, and it didn't take long for the footprints to be covered up after walking through the snow.

Ma Li coughed a few times, and tightened the lily root doll in her arms, although the snow was very strong, but she had a good sense of direction, and her mind was no worse than Xu Qiansu, so she couldn't find her way back to the hotel.

But after walking for a few minutes, a figure could be vaguely seen in the layers of heavy snow.

Ma Li was slightly stunned and froze in place.

Xu Qiansu came quickly in the snow in a thin white shirt.

"Why did you get out?" Ma Li's little face was a little red from the cold, and she asked suspiciously.

"I'm worried about you." Xu Qiansu snapped his fingers lightly, and the snow around the two of them suddenly dispersed, building a superpower barrier.

Ma Li looked up, and then turned her head to look at the snowflakes on Xu Qiansu's body.

Xu Qiansu patted his shirt, the snowflakes were rolling down, and he smiled at Ma Li: "I knew that you came to the Pokémon Center, and I was worried that something would happen to you on the road, so I ran over quickly, and I even forgot to use my superpowers...... When I say this, is Miss Mary very moved? ”

"It's not bad to ignore the second half of the sentence." Ma Li retracted her gaze and bowed slightly.

"No way, there is no more honest person in the world than me...... And honesty is the only way to make Miss Mary fall in love with me. After thinking about it, Xu Qiansu smiled again: "At present, it is the only one, and I will find the rest of the ways to make Miss Ma Li fall in love with me in the future, and I will add." ”

"I've been in love with you for a long time."

Xu Qiansu looked back at Ma Li, her greasy and delicate face was a little ruddy, I don't know if it was because of coldness or shyness, the snowflakes fluttered by her side, making her a little more ethereal and moving.

Xu Qiansu laughed a few times, "Me too." ”

"The magic tablet lend me a little bit, thank you."

"Yes...... What is it used for? ”

"I don't like men who are too stubborn."

"I'll bring it to you later."

The two held hands in the snow, stepped through the snow, and soon the figures disappeared between the snow curtains.
