At 7:26 pm, Xia You and Li Jia were walking slowly among the crowd on the busy pedestrian street of Yuanzhu City.
The half-hazy moon hung high in the sky, obscured by dark clouds and unable to illuminate the city.
Fortunately, there are colorful lights of various colors and shining stall signs of different sizes, which dispel the darkness of this street and bring brilliant light to tourists.
People were coming and going on the pedestrian street, and people and Pokémon stopped in front of various stalls from time to time.
The sounds of people talking, laughing, and the shouts of the stall owners kept ringing around, but it didn't feel noisy. Instead, it made people feel very atmospheric.
It can only be said that it is indeed one of the largest cities in the Johto area. Even on an ordinary night, so many people can gather here, and you can even see many street performances in cooperation with Pokémon. It is really lively.
Xia You lowered his head and walked slowly forward along with the crowd.
At this time, he was holding a bunch of marshmallows in one hand and biting them from time to time, while the other hand was operating a mobile phone with one hand.
Beside him, Li Jia also held many snacks bought from the stall. After taking a bite of each one, her brows relaxed slightly.
As if to follow the local customs, she also put on a gorgeous kimono at this moment. Her exquisite face and outstanding temperament attracted the attention of passers-by.
only…
Compared to my own craftsmanship, the taste of these foods cannot be said to be eaten much, but in such an atmosphere, it is still quite good to eat them once in a while.
There was a sound of frolicking next to my ears.
She paused on her feet, turned around and saw a group of children with lollipops in their hands and masks on their faces, running past her while laughing.
Seeing that they almost bumped into this beautiful big sister, the children stopped and apologized quickly.
"Don't run around on the street, be careful."
Li Jia said a few gentle words of comfort without caring. Seeing that Xia You had already walked away, she waved to the children, walked a few steps quickly, and caught up with Xia You.
Xia You didn't notice the little episode just now. He was moving his fingers quickly. At a certain moment, after raising the phone, he immediately looked at Li Jia, and she raised the phone with some pride.
"I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get tickets for the Yuanzhu Stage. I was trying to get tickets online for more than half an hour, and my fingers were almost numb. I finally got lucky when someone refunded the ticket!"
Lijia tucked her hair behind her ears and couldn't help but smile.
"We can't help it. Who made us come late? If we had made a reservation a few days earlier, we would have been able to get a good seat. But on the other hand, it also shows that the five Yuanzhu sisters are really popular, right?"
"That's right." Xia You nodded, "If you think so, you're really lucky to be able to grab a ticket before the show starts!"
While they were talking, the two of them had reached the end of the road and arrived in front of a magnificent and exquisite wooden building.
This three-story Japanese-style building has eight colorful flags in front, which are gently blown by the breeze. There are also more than a dozen lanterns hanging under the eaves, and under the reflection of candles and lights inside the building, The whole small building looks magnificent!

Written: Stage play - "The Legend of the Burnt Tower"
It turns out this is a performance...
Xia You was slightly disappointed.
After all, the two of them had just learned about the legends here through the travel guide, so such a story was naturally nothing new to them, and it also made him lack interest.
It's also his fault that when he was just grabbing tickets, he was too anxious and didn't notice today's program list.
But now that we’ve come and all the tickets have been purchased, we can’t go back now, right?
After taking out the electronic tickets and letting the staff review them, the two entered the Yuanzhu stage.
After passing through the lobby, I took off my shoes and walked along the long floor corridor with other audience members, and finally arrived at the performance hall.
Today's performance can be said to be packed with seats.
In addition to the main auditorium in front of the stage, there are two levels of side seats on each side. Taken together, there are at least seven or eight hundred seats.
And because it was close to the performance, it was already dark and packed with people.
The two of them followed the numbers on the electronic tickets and went to the side seats on the second floor and found their seats.
However, it is said to be a seat, but it is actually just a bedding.
Following the example of others, Xia You also knelt down on the mat and waited quietly with Li Jia.
Because it was a side seat on the second floor, although the seat was a bit off and could not get the best viewing experience, the view here was really good, and the entire stage was presented in front of him at a glance.
He was already very satisfied with being able to grab such a position before the start of the game.
The air-conditioning air blew over his head. Although the audience was full of people, it did not seem stuffy.
Looking down at the main auditorium, I saw people coming to watch the performance, but most of them were young people and children. Many people brought their own Pokémon, and few old people were seen.
Presumably the old people here are already tired of hearing this story...
After a few casual glances, Xia You suddenly said "Huh" softly.
Hearing the sound, Li Jia couldn't help but glance at him.
"What's wrong?"
Xia You said nothing, and when Li Jia followed his gaze, it turned out to be a man dressed as a monk, kneeling and sitting there.
There is also a Trumpet sprout next to him, which seems to be his Pokémon.
Is he a monk who came here from Kikyo City?
Unexpectedly, monks also come here to watch stage performances, which is really rare.
In fact, just like Japan in real life, monks here can also eat meat, marry wives and have children, and even own their own industries.
Therefore, although Li Jia was surprised by his appearance here, she did not find it very strange.
The time for the show is getting closer.
The curtain on the stage had not been raised, but Xia You saw a small gap opened at the stage door, and a girl was looking out at something, as if secretly peeping at the audience's reaction.
Are you a staff member here? Or a stage actor?
Xia You looked at her curiously, and perhaps feeling his gaze, the girl suddenly looked at him too.
When their eyes met, she quickly shrank back like a frightened deer.
