rustle----
The two of them walked along the street, and the soft snow made a slight sound as they stepped on it.
Xu Qiansu glanced at Ma Li's profile.
Snow-white and exquisite, her skin is delicate and white and rosy, and she doesn't look like she's recovering from a serious illness at all.
"How's your recovery going?" he asked.
"Ghost energy is not as scary as you think, not to mention that I have only been exposed to it a little bit." Ma Li said lightly.
"Mo~ Lubei." Molu Beike walked at Ma Li's feet. He raised his face and looked at Xu Qiansu and said in agreement.
"I heard that ghost energy has the characteristic of taking away life force. Will Miss Ma Li lose a few days of her life because of this?"
"Strictly speaking, what it takes away is energy, not as serious as life force..." Ma Li explained to Xu Qiansu, and then glanced at him, "What's more? It only has a lifespan of a few days."
Xu Qiansu raised her fingers and said, "I am sixteen this year, and will be seventeen in about a month, and Miss Ma Li is fourteen this year, two years younger than me. If a ghost-type Pokémon absorbs more Yangshou, won't it? Are you the same age as me?"
Ma Li sighed softly and said helplessly: "First, age is not calculated in this way; second, the age of adulthood in the world is ten years old..."
Before she finished speaking, she was startled and turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu.
There was an inexplicable smile on Xu Qiansu's handsome and fair face, a smile that made people couldn't help but open their hearts to him.
Ma Li clenched her fist and lightly punched Xu Qiansu's waist.
"pain……"
✿
The two came to Mulan Research Institute. This time Dr. Mulan and Sonia were both here.
Outside the institute, Sonia stood outside the door, watching the two people walking slowly across the stone bridge.
"Puch~"
"Cha cha cha~"
The Wrestling Eagle Man and the Pumpkin Spirit came from the backyard after hearing the sound. The Pumpkin Spirit was floating around Xu Qiansu in the air. The Wrestling Eagle Man stood by Xu Qiansu's legs and looked up at him.
Xu Qiansu touched the two Pokémon, released Kirulian and the small marsupial, and let them play by themselves.
Morubeko also ran over with his cute short legs, while the pickpocket cat stayed quietly at Ma Li's feet with an expression that looked down on no one.
Sonia was wearing a white coat, with her hands behind her back. She smiled slightly when she saw this, "I don't know what charm you have, but these two little guys would like you so much."
"Maybe it's Audrey Hepburn's team stickiness."
"Ah?" Sonia blinked, "Who is Audrey Hepburn? What does team stickiness mean?"
"Probably a trainer... As for the team's stickiness, you don't have to worry about it, he has always been like this." Ma Li said softly.
Sonia looked at their faces for a few times and thought to herself, Mary, how can you understand what he said?
She shook her head, no longer confused, and led the two of them to the reception room, "Black tea or drink?"
"drinks."
"black tea."
"Li'an'an~" Qilulian ran over, stomping, and Xu Qiansu picked up the cup and handed it to her.
This time it’s not as painful as last time! She drank half a cup, hugged Xu Qiansu's neck and rubbed his cheek, then trotted off to play again.
Sonia looked at him and whispered to herself, "So this is why they like you so much?"
"Huh? What?" Xu Qiansu didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." Sonia picked up the drink and filled it for him again.
After a while, Dr. Mulan came with a suitcase.
She nodded slightly to the two of them, without saying a word, and placed the suitcase directly on the table. With a crisp click, the pure white giant wristband appeared under Xu Qiansu's expectant eyes.
The overall style and color scheme are exactly the same as Miss Mary's giant wristband.
This is a rare treasure in the Galar region. It is one of the three major battle systems along with the MEGA Evolution Stone and the Z-Bracelet.
With it, Xu Qiansu's strength can be increased several times in certain situations.
Although the three major battle systems have their own characteristics, the huge effect brought by Dynamax is enough to change the venue, and its many-on-many tactical value is far superior to the other two.
This kind of treasure that countless people could only ask for was placed in front of Xu Qiansu, just like a peerless woman who took off her wedding clothes on her wedding night and looked at him with charming eyes, shy but obediently waiting for him to pick it up. …
Although the metaphor is not appropriate, even Xu Qiansu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and a trace of the impermanence of fate at this moment.
Who would have thought that this wishing star was given to him by a baby tit...
I don’t know where he is at the moment and what he is doing. Will we see him again in the future?
Xu Qiansu thought of the chickadee that had been defeated by Lalu Lasi twice and could perch.
He picked up the giant wristband and found it was cold but soft. It had good texture and good toughness. It was fireproof and waterproof.
Xu Qiansu put it on her left wrist and it felt soft to the touch.
He looked at Ma Li and smiled, "Both of us have illustrated books and giant wristbands."
"Look at you." Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu's giant wristband, picked up the black tea and took a sip. The pickpocket cat came over curiously and touched the giant wristband with the pads of its front paws.
Xu Qiansu squeezed her little paw.
Great touch.
"Cha~" The pickpocket cat rolled her eyes at him and was not angry. She just retracted her paws and then lay down next to Ma Li's legs and licked her fur gracefully.
Mulan sat across from the two of them, closed her suitcase, also picked up the black tea and took a sip, then slowly said: "I won't say much about the giant wristband. You should know that Ma Li is by your side... Today, there are actually two things to do, see if you are interested in doing them."
"Dr. Mulan, please speak."
"There will be a winter camping event for illustrated book holders in the next year. Are you and Ma Li interested?"
"Illustrated holder? Organized by Roz?" Xu Qiansu was slightly startled and asked.
"No." Mulan shook her head slightly, "It is jointly organized by doctors from various regions."
"Will illustrated book holders from other regions come?" Ma Lidai raised her eyebrows slightly and guessed.
"That's right." Mulan smiled slightly and said softly: "The number of illustrated book holders is rare, and they can generally be regarded as the doctor's confidants. The relationship between us doctors is also good. On the one hand, we let you get familiar with each other; on the other hand, It can also give you some exercise...
... Each event is held in different ways, with different methods. Although there is competition, you don't have to worry about it. They are all new trainers who have only received illustrations this year. Their qualifications are not much different from yours, so just treat them as traveling. "
Subtext: 'Kick the Pokédex holders from other regions to death? '
Xu Qiansu pondered secretly.
"Are we two the representatives of the Galar region?" Xu Qiansu asked.
"Of course, in previous years I didn't have anyone to send people to, but this year it's rare to have you two." Dr. Mulan was obviously in a good mood, and her tone was a little lighter.
This made Xu Qiansu confirm some of his deepest suspicions.
"I, I, I, grandma~ can I go?" Sonia's eyes brightened slightly, and she said in a tired voice, shaking Dr. Mulan's arm.
"You still have to do research... Miss Cattleya, don't you care?"
"Oh..." Sonia looked disappointed.
Xu Qiansu glanced at her, thought for a moment, then looked at Dr. Mulan and asked, "Since it is held in the Galar region this year, we can still make the decision on the location, right?"
"Do you have an idea?"
"How about near Suchuan Town?" Xu Qiansu suggested.
"Suchuan Town?" Dr. Mulan was slightly startled. Suchuan Town is a town that prospered due to ancient art. If you want to mention the ancient history of Galar, you cannot avoid this town...
However, she had already decided on the location and even informed the other doctors.
She glanced at the aggrieved Sonia, then nodded slightly, with a smile in her eyes, "Okay, the winter camping location is near Suchuan Town... Sonia, you can go too, there must be a lot worth studying in Suchuan Town. Ancient history and even legends, don’t just play around.”
"Okay!" Sonia waved her arm, and the twenty-year-old female researcher was as happy as a child.
"Suchuan Town... I remember there is a gym there, and the gym owners are Onio of the ghost type and Cai Dou of the fighting type." Ma Li sipped the slightly bitter black tea and whispered to herself.
