After signing up for the two of them, Ma Li returned to the hotel, opened the door with the room card, and immediately lay on her back on the soft bed, exhaling softly.
"Molu Bei~" Moru Beike jumped onto the bed with a slight jump, and also imitated Ma Li's posture and lay down.
For a while, neither person nor Pokémon spoke. After a while, Mali sat up, took out a small mirror from her pocket and placed it on her lap. She lowered her eyes and stretched out two slender index fingers painted with black nail polish to the corners of her mouth. , exert slight force.
She is practicing smiling, which is her daily homework.
"Molubeke." She didn't look back and was about to say something.
"Ah wow wow wow wow-"
Ma Li raised her eyebrows slightly and turned her head to look. She saw that the bright yellow hair in the middle of Molubeke's body turned into a strange purple, and the rest of the hair turned into black. Her eyes were red like a demon. She didn't know where to pull it out. A big bag of elf food, with a murderous gesture, he kept stuffing the elf food into his mouth, chewing it and swallowing it all in one go, without stopping.
"Alas..." Mary sighed softly, not surprised at all, and just said softly: "Eat slower."
Morubeko is the gatekeeper of the Galar region. He has an interesting characteristic called "Full and Hungry", which means that his posture, personality and even strength will change according to the degree of hunger.
Because its electric capsule is generating electricity all the time, the energy in the body is depleted very quickly. Once it is empty, it will 'blacken'. Not only will its temperament become extremely violent, but its power will also increase when using evil skills. The power will be weakened when using electric skills.
Ma Li was obviously very used to this. She just took a glance and continued to practice smiling with the small mirror.

"Ah~ It's Lalu Lasi!" Xu Qiansu, who was running long-distance with Lalu Lasi, suddenly heard a childish voice and couldn't help but turn away.
But she saw a five or six-year-old girl standing by with bare feet and thin hospital clothes. Her little face, ears and feet were red from the cold. She didn't notice it, but subconsciously rubbed her hands and used... The big shining eyes stared at La Lulas.
"Lalu?" Lalu Lasi blinked.
Is not It Cold?
Xu Qiansu stopped, took a few breaths, and looked around, but saw no one who seemed to be the little girl's parents.
He picked up his backpack and walked over, Lalulas following him.
Xu Qiansu took off his coat, squatted down and put it on the little girl's thin body. He took out a red scarf from his backpack and tied it on her, and then asked: "Where is your mother?"
"Thank you~" the little girl bowed politely, subconsciously holding the scarf in her hand, twitching her nose that was red from the cold, and then replied: "Mom is asleep~"
"Asleep?" Xu Qiansu took a look at the little girl's hospital gown, which had the words 'Cuixue Public Hospital' embroidered on the chest.
"Well~ because my mother is very hard, she has to work, and she has to take care of us~ so we can't bear to wake her up~" the little girl said, her eyes turned to La Lulas, her big eyes held the dreams and beauty that only belong to children. .
"Why is Big Brother's La Lulas different from the one in the storybook?" Her tone seemed a little weak, but her enunciation was very clear.
"Because La Lulas is also a cute type among their tribe, just like you." Xu Qiansu looked serious but spoke softly, coaxing the child.
The little girl giggled.
La Lulas raised her face with pride, then lowered her head and clasped her hands behind her back, feeling embarrassed.
"Can we hug her?" The little girl looked hopeful.
Xu Qiansu looked at La Lulas and asked for her opinion.
Lalu Lasi raised her hand and stood on tiptoes, "Lalu~"
"Hey." The little girl hugged Lalu Lasi and rubbed it, "It's so comfortable and warm... We like Lalu Lasi the most~ because watermelon is delicious, and Lalu Lasi's hair is like an upside-down watermelon. Hat, it’s so cute~ When I turn ten and become a trainer, I’ll also want to pull the strings~”
"Ah!" As she said this, the little girl suddenly remembered something. She put down the Lalulas, bowed to Xu Qiansu, and reached out to take off her scarf, "We need to buy fruit for mom~ We have to go quickly~"
The little girl sneaked out to buy things for her mother while she was asleep.
The five- or six-year-old child doesn't quite understand what danger is. She just wants to do something for her mother.
Xu Qiansu pinned the scarf back to her and patted her little head gently, "This scarf is for you. I'll accompany you to buy fruit."
…
"Thank you, thank you very much." At the door of Cuixue Public Hospital, a gentle but haggard woman held the little girl's hand and kept bowing to Xu Qiansu.
The little girl also bowed like her mother.
Xu Qiansu shook her head, smiled gently, knelt down and pinched her little face, and said softly: "When you become a trainer, let's have a battle. I won't hold back."
"Well, we won't hold back~" Her face was filled with the persistence, stubbornness and expectation of a child.
Xu Qiansu stood up and nodded to the little girl's mother, then turned and left.
"That's great~ Trainer, when will we turn ten~" The little girl looked at Xu Qiansu's back, her hands on the warm scarf, her tone was pure and full of longing.
The mother pursed her lips tightly when she heard this, then slowly squatted down, picked up the little girl and walked into the hospital.
"Well...you will definitely become a great trainer, even more powerful than dad."
"Hey, we can be better than dad~"

The next day, the warm sun shines on the snow-covered town, and the sky is filled with snow, making it look quiet and elegant.
Xu Qiansu was on the sidewalk going to the Pokémon Center. On both sides of the road, there were only a few green trees standing in a row.
The wind blew the snow, and the snow mist drifted away, passing through his hair.
As we were about to reach the Pokémon Center, we saw a few sweet bamboos sleeping among the snow on the branches. One of them swayed and accidentally fell down.
In a daze, the calyx on its head spun like a propeller, but it couldn't control the direction in its sleep and hit Xu Qiansu's arms directly.
"Zhu?" Tian Zhuzhu, who had woken up, blinked and looked up at Xu Qiansu. His eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't understand how he could appear in the arms of this human being.
Xu Qiansu pinched the green calyx on its head. The reason why there was green among the bare branches was obviously the work of these little guys.
He took out a few pieces of elf food and fed them to it.
"Bamboo bamboo!" The calyx on the head of the sweet bamboo spins happily. After eating one, it feels delicious and flies to the branches with other elf food in its mouth to share with its friends. Then it turns over at home. , flying back to Xu Qiansu's arms with a few green leaves in her mouth.
"Bamboo, bamboo~" Tian Zhuzhu pointed to the leaves in Xu Qiansu's hands with the calyx on her head, signaling him to eat them quickly. In the winter, these delicious and fresh leaves are very difficult to preserve~
Xu Qiansu laughed dumbly, but didn't tell it that humans don't eat leaves.
He picked up the leaves and put them into his mouth. It was a little bitter, but because it had been in Tianzhuzhu's mouth, there was a layer of extremely sweet juice on the surface.
I heard that Sweet Bamboo Bamboo is delicious...
"Bamboo, bamboo bamboo bamboo bamboo bamboo ~" Seeing him finish eating, Tian Zhuzhu flew around him happily and then flew back to the branches to catch up on his sleep.
Before going to bed, it barked at Xu Qiansu twice, which meant, 'Come to me to play when you have time, and I will treat you to delicious leaves~'
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and smiled and waved to it.
He was looking at Tianzhuzhu, and someone was looking at him.
When he arrived at the Pokémon Center, he found that Mali was already standing there with Molubek in her arms. Many passers-by turned their heads, and he didn't know whether they were looking at Molubek or Miss Mali.
"It's so early."
There are still fifteen minutes left before the eight o'clock appointment.
"Morube~" Morubeke greeted him.
Xu Qiansu shook the little hand it extended.
"Let's go, the competition will be at Cuixue Arena." Ma Li remained as talkative as ever.
"Yeah." Xu Qiansu didn't say much.
The two walked side by side, but Ma Li slowed down slightly for some unknown reason, then turned her head to look at a tree by the roadside, with a bit of anticipation deep in her eyes.
After walking for a while, she wondered if she was too cold. She twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to force out a smile, but unfortunately she couldn't.
"Molu~Bei?" Moru Beike raised his face and looked at Ma Li.
Ma Li's snow-white face blushed, and she hugged Molu Beike tighter, then quickened her pace and walked side by side with Xu Qiansu again.
Xu Qiansu wanted to laugh, but didn't say anything.
Not long after, the two arrived at the Cuixue Arena.
