Hinofan City.
Although this is the initial town in the western area of Hezhong, it is still a large city, much more developed than Luzi Town on the other side.
As a new city, there is even an alliance gym built here, which is very formal.
New trainers have just received the initial Pokémon and can directly challenge the gym by turning left.
There is absolutely no buffer for leveling up, which also results in the challenge success rate of this newcomer gym becoming extremely low.
Basically, they are instantly killed by the gym leader with one move. The initial babies have no leveling at all and can't even release water.
At this moment, Xiaozhi was sitting on a stone chair outside the Elf Center, like a mere passerby, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the Elf Center from time to time.
The entrance to the Elf Center.
"Rice wine! Rice wine!"
A water otter was leading the way. Even though he could see a lot of injuries on his body, he still held the scallop shell in front of his chest, waving it and calling something.
He looked very angry.
Followed by a long-haired girl, her long brown hair was tied into a ball and hanging down in twin ponytails.
She looks pretty and cute, wearing a sun hat and blue and white long sleeves. The Elf Ball pattern on the collar of her dress is quite prominent.
Yellow culottes, black pantyhose attached to slender straight legs, and a pair of yellow and white sneakers on her feet.
It’s Xiaozhi’s target traveling companion, Mingyi!
"Hey~ Water Otter, don't be angry. Forget it if you failed the first gym challenge. Besides, I'm not interested in the Alliance Conference or anything like that..."
Mingyi was a little discouraged at the moment and had no energy.
She followed the otter, pushing the bicycle in her hand and trying to say something.
“Rice wine! Rice wine!
"
However, this otter had a tough attitude and was very dissatisfied.
Since you lost this time, keep working hard and fight back next time.
Other trainers have passed the Hinoki Fan Gym, there's no reason why they can't pass!
"Eh..."
This made Mingyi could only follow behind, sighing, but not wanting to discourage his new partner.
...
Watching Mingyi and Water Otter enter the elf center, Xiaozhi came back to his senses a little.
He has excellent hearing, and naturally heard the conversation between Mingyi and the otter.
It seems that she is indeed a girl with a gentle personality.
He obviously has no interest in gym challenges, but for the sake of his Pokémon, he still chooses to work hard and accommodate himself.
I would not reject such a travel companion.
If it was a trainer like Xiudi, Xiaozhi would just turn around and leave regardless of Heiji's request.
"Then now comes the problem."
How should he propose an invitation to team up with Ming Yi?
Heiji didn't give him any information or advice. He had investigated Xiaozhi's past journeys, and it seemed that in every journey, there was a young and beautiful female companion.
Then just like before, this should be easy for Xiaozhi, right?
But this only gave Xiaozhi a headache.
When he used to travel with Xiaoxia, Xiaolan, and Xiaoguang, he always just let nature take its course.
There will not be intentional close contact and group travel like now.
The proactive invitation made Xiaozhi very embarrassed.
Glancing at the door of the elf center, it seemed that Mingyi was healing the otter and would be coming out in a while.
"Picture book, give me some advice quickly!"
Xiaozhi quickly looked at the illustrated book and said in a deep voice.
"Beep beep! Search started...The search was successful. The following guide comes from Fang Yuan's No. 1 Affection, Master Mi Keli's personal experience~Loto~!"
Rotom was suspended in front of Xiaozhi, and countless texts about chatting tips between men and women suddenly appeared on the screen.
It’s just that the target users seem to be couples, not companions traveling together.
"This is so unreliable! Rotom!"
There was even some text on it, which made Xiaozhi's cheeks turn red. When did Master Mikri start writing this part-time?
...
Seeing Xiaozhi and Rotom still lingering there, nothing happened for a long time.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately, patting his chest confidently.
"Pikachu...yes, Pikachu, if you act cute, then I can get to know Narui naturally!"
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. Pikachu's cute appearance is a great weapon against female trainers!
Especially in the Hezhong area, the locals have never seen electric rats from other places.
Sure enough, at critical moments, Pikachu is always trustworthy!
"Pickup!"
Pikachu also nodded, indicating that everything was taken care of by him.
And when the door of the Fairy Center opened next to it and Mingyi and the recovered otter came out, Pikachu rolled his eyes and rushed up quickly.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling and fierce electric light burst out from the whole body, exploding and flying out!
Xiaozhi: "?"
His expression suddenly changed.
Wait, Pikachu, what are you going to do? !
I asked you to act cute, are you going to kill someone? !
But Pikachu is not attacking Narui.
The next moment, the flying 100,000 volts were very precise and hit Mingyi's pink bicycle locked in the parking area at the door.
Boom!
The electric current suddenly shot up into the sky, forming a violent explosion at that location!
Not to mention that Xiaozhi was dumbfounded by the sudden scene, even Mingyi and Water Otter, who had just gone out, were stunned in place.
She's seen bike thieves...
But was this electric rat, which she had never seen before, blowing up her bicycle in front of her?
As the smoke dissipated, Mingyi's bicycle was completely reduced to black char and fell to the ground.
Not to mention whether I can still ride it...
It can probably be cleaned directly and put into an urn.
"Pikachu, you, you, you..."
Xiaozhi stood beside him, his mouth wide open, speechless for a moment.
"Pica~!"
After Pikachu landed, he turned around and gave Xiaozhi a handsome expression of mission accomplished.
How did Xiaozhi get to know Xiaoxia Xiaoguang and the others? Pikachu is a very understanding brother.
Not only as a witness, but also as a facilitator.
Their bicycles were also damaged by it.
Stop pretending, if you want to form a team with a girl, you don't need any fancy strategies.
Just blow up their bikes!
Xiaozhi: "..."
Understanding Pikachu's intention, Xiaozhi fell into a huge silence.
Immediately, his body turned somewhat stiffly in Mingyi's direction.
"Eh~?!"
Mingyi's pretty face also looked completely bewildered. This electric mouse seemed to be just a follower. Is the real mastermind behind this the person next to him?
She turned around stiffly and looked at Xiaozhi.
So do you want to call the police now?
If the other party blew up his bicycle in front of him, he wouldn't use a knife on himself next, right?
Is this the cruel world of trainers...
But today is her first day as a trainer!
