At four o'clock in the afternoon, when Xia You came to Yuhong City again and walked to the door of Yuhong Gym, he was surprised to find that the gym was under renovation!
It can be seen that the front half of the gym has been completely surrounded by scaffolding. At this time, many workers are busy working on it with tools in hand. For a while, the sound of electric drills and hammers jingles and sizzles. It goes on and on, and on the ground, there are more than a dozen strange forces that are constantly carrying various building materials.
There are orderly scenes everywhere, and through the gaps in the scaffolding, you can still vaguely see obvious traces of flame scorch!
Although the traces have faded a lot due to wind and rain, it can still be seen that there was a major fire in the gym!
Um?
How is this going?
Just when Xia You was surprised, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Xia You, here!"
Xia You turned around and saw that it was Li Jia.
Long time no see, Rika is still as beautiful as before. She wears a kimono, behaves dignifiedly, looks reserved and gentle, and stands there quietly, very much like Yamato Nadeshiko.
Walking to her side, Xia You greeted her first, then looked at the gym, wondering: "Was there a fire here? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear you mention it?"
"It's been a long time." Lijia thought for a moment, "It should be a few days after you were still in Kanto and just finished challenging my gym, and we cooperated with the international police to attack Team Rocket's base."
At that time...
After her reminder, Xia You thought for a moment and then remembered that it seemed that the relevant plot actually appeared in the animation, and it did happen a long time ago.
He asked knowingly: "Isn't it what happened when Xiaozhi challenged here?"
"Eh? Do you know Xiaozhi too?" Li Jia nodded, "When Xiaozhi came to challenge the gym, the gym was attacked by Team Rocket. Strangely enough, it was a team consisting of two humans and one The wonderful combination of talking cats set fire to the gym and burned it beyond recognition. Fortunately, Xiaozhi and his friends were present and helped a lot to prevent the fire from spreading. "
Is it really?
Xia You grinned, secretly feeling amused.
Two humans and a meow, there is no doubt that they are a trio of Team Rocket.
Only they would be so happy and tireless to pester Xiaozhi.
It's just that...if we look at the relationship between cause and effect, if Xiaozhi hadn't been there, the Rocket trio might not have followed him to the Yuhong Gym, and they wouldn't have launched an attack at the Yuhong Gym. The fire will not burn.
This is completely because Xiaozhi was implicated!
Wisely did not say this, Xia You just wondered: "Since the fire happened a long time ago, why was it delayed until now?"
"There is nothing we can do about it." Lijia shook her head and said with a wry smile, "The day after the fire, I reported the situation to the alliance, but because the alliance couldn't turn over funds at that time and needed approval at all levels, so It took such a long time, but fortunately, the money was finally paid out a few days ago, so I just started construction and plan to continue to expand the size of the gym!"
No wonder I have time to go to Johto to capture Pokémon. It turns out that the gym is temporarily closed...
At this time, Xia You suddenly remembered the greenhouse in the gym that left a deep impression on him, and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, are the greenhouse and the Pokémon inside okay?"
Lijia nodded: "Thanks to the concerted efforts of the Pokémon at that time and timely putting out the fire, we finally survived and did not affect the greenhouse. It is a blessing among misfortunes."
Speaking of this, Li Jia suddenly thanked Xia You: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank you for the oranges you sent. Those oranges are different from Guandu. They are really delicious. After we eat them, we also plant their seeds." In the flower garden, it has grown into a sapling now!"
In fact, if those oranges hadn't made Rika realize that there were indeed huge differences between regions, and each place had unique customs and customs, she wouldn't have suddenly thought of going to the city to conquer the treasures there while the gym was being repaired. It’s a dream.
Xia You had already forgotten about this matter, but now he heard her mention it and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if they can grow. I was worried before that they wouldn't be able to germinate or adapt to the climate here!"
At this time, Li Jia suddenly looked behind her and turned her eyes to look around.
"Strange, why didn't I see Miss Nazi? Didn't you travel with her?"
"Don't mention it..." Xia You waved her hand, "The alliance has been urging her to come back to guard the gym. Nazhi couldn't refuse, so when I came back this time, I sent her back to the Golden Gym!"
"Ah? So that's it..."
Li Jia was a little surprised. After all, she had never heard of the Alliance interfering with the actions of the gym owner!
Thoughts flashed through her mind. Seeing Xia You still standing here, Li Jia suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah, I'm so sorry. I've been standing here talking to you and I forgot to ask you to come in and sit down. You You must be a little tired after traveling for such a long time, please come in with me and have a cup of hot tea!"
Xia You was indeed a little thirsty, so he didn't refuse and followed her into a huge temporary wooden house behind Li Jia.
In the wooden house, in addition to Li Jia, there were also some female staff members that Xia You had met in the gym. When they saw Xia You, they all covered their mouths and chuckled, and looked at him with fiery and bold eyes unscrupulously!
Xia You couldn't stand their looks, so he nodded to them in a hurry, and then followed Li Jia to a small reception room in the innermost part of the wooden house.
Entering the room, Xia You first smelled the faint scent of perfume mixed with floral fragrance. Although the smell was very good, it still made his nose itchy.
Looking at the environment, although it is a temporary transitional building, this reception room has been decorated exquisitely and elegantly.
The most important thing is, perhaps because of her personality and hobbies, or because Li Jia loves nature, there are green plants and pruned flowers everywhere. Being among them makes Xia You feel a very warm feeling!
only……
The girlish atmosphere was too strong, which made Xia You feel a little unnatural. She even felt dry in the mouth for some reason!
】
Li Jia didn't notice anything strange about Xia You. She knelt down on the other side of the tatami and made a pot of hot tea for the two of them.
"Please forgive me." She sent the tea cup to Xia You and saw him looking at the place. Li Jia smiled and said, "This wooden house is a temporary venue for the gym. It is specially used to handle some daily affairs of the gym. It is just because it is impossible to fight. , so the construction is a little crude.”
"This is already very good." Xia You took a sip of tea and flattered while adjusting her mentality, "A house like this is already a home that a wandering person like me would dream of owning!"
After being praised by Xia You, Li Jia covered her mouth and chuckled, and her mood became much happier.
She had fought against Xia You, seen how powerful Xia You was, and had fought side by side against Team Rocket. She had even been protected by Xia You several times in Team Rocket's base. Although she didn't say anything with her mouth, she felt it in her heart. , I have long regarded Xia You as a friend!
And it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to be praised by friends!
Li Jia's smile is very contagious, which also greatly increases her charm. She exudes a gentle atmosphere that is completely different from Nazi!
This radiant woman is undoubtedly very attractive!
Xia You only glanced at it twice and didn't dare to look any further. He quickly looked away and coughed lightly. In order to avoid thinking too much, he directly brought the conversation to the main topic.
"You said before that you wanted to go to Johto to capture grass Pokémon. Do you have any specific goals? This way I can give you some corresponding recommendations based on your needs!"
