First week of April.
early morning.
The spring breeze and sunshine, the pale golden warm sun swayed down, falling on this prosperous waterside city.
The sea surface is sparkling, caressing it gently, and making a soft sound of 'swishing'.
Xu Qiansu woke up from her sleep and felt an unbearable pain in her body for the first time in a long time.
The training of the little master is always strict and severe.
"Well..." Cattleya was lying on his pillow. When she heard the sound, she turned over lazily.
After a while, she turned back, opened her eyes a little, and asked in a low voice, "What time is it?"
"Six o'clock... you can still sleep a little longer." Xu Qiansu reached out and touched Cattleya's slender waist.
Cattleya frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Do you really want me to sleep a little longer?"
"Then...do it again?"
"No, I'm tired." Cattleya turned over and faced Xu Qiansu with her snow-white back and smooth blond hair.
Xu Qiansu leaned down, got close to Cattleya, and then gently blew a breath into her small, crystal-clear ears.
"Xu Qiansu!"
"Um?"
"...Hurry up." Cattleya sighed softly.
"I'm afraid it can't be fast. It's not like you don't know me."
"Then you...well." Cattleya's soft lips were blocked by Xu Qiansu.
After a while, the two separated.
Cattleya couldn't help but gasp, "I'm not allowed to sleep well every day."
"Because you are very cute." Xu Qiansu hugged Cattleya.
Cattleya covered her lips with one hand and frowned, then relaxed, then frowned again...
…
When the sky got bright, Xu Qiansu left the compartment... The Pokémon gathered together and were still sleeping soundly, even Gardevoir, who had always been self-disciplined, was no exception.
Little Master Caidou's training policy for Pokémon is mainly to improve the power of moves, and strive not to be crushed in a head-to-head confrontation with Lu Lina's Pokémon... After all, Xu Qiansu didn't dare to fight in the last battle from beginning to end. The few head-to-head confrontations with Lurina always ended with Gardevoir and Vine Snake being knocked away.
Such a training policy makes the Pokémon extremely tired.
Xu Qiansu quietly came to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for the Pokémon and Cattleya.
It's just breakfast, you don't need to go downstairs to the restaurant to eat.
He took out the eggs of Moo Milk and Geely Eggs from the refrigerator, poured the milk carefully, fried the eggs, and cut some ham. Because there was still flour in the refrigerator, Xu Qiansu baked a few more cakes... These ingredients were all from the hotel. Comes with it.
"Gardevoir..." At some point, Gardevoir had woken up, came behind Xu Qiansu, put her hands around his neck, and rested her entire body weight on Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu glanced at the time and said, "It doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer."
"Gardessa~" Gardevoir yawned, stretched out her little hand and rubbed her eyes, then leaned her little face on Xu Qiansu's shoulder and watched him cooking... After watching for a while, she turned to stare at Xu Qiansu. side view.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qiansu asked casually without looking back.
"Gardevoir." Gardevoir means, you are so good-looking.
Xu Qiansu smiled... I don't know if Pokémon's aesthetics are the same as humans, but Gardevoir would say this, completely because of the principle of 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'... Although Gardevoir is not Xu Qiansu's lover .
But Xu Qiansu also views Gardevoir the same way...his Gardevoir must be the cutest one among the Gardevoir tribe.
Xu Qiansu cut a piece of fried egg and handed it to Gardevoir's mouth, "Have a taste."
Gardevoir took a bite, chewed it for a while, swallowed it, and nodded slightly.
Xu Qiansu also cut a part and put it into his mouth to taste... Gardevoir stared at the fork Xu Qiansu used.
"There is a boxing match today, don't you want to participate?" Xu Qiansu asked while tasting the fried eggs.
Gardevoir was stunned for a moment, yes, because of the hell-style special training, Gardevoir had almost forgotten this.
She nodded slightly, indicating that she would definitely win.
After breakfast was made, Xu Qiansu woke up the Pokémon, fed them breakfast, and put one on Cattleya's bedside table. Then she left the room with the Pokémon and knocked on Caidou's little master and Ma. Miss Li's door.
"Boxing match?" Caido Liu raised her eyebrows slightly, "I participated in it last year... That's it. Although there are many fighting Pokémon on the field, most of them are of low quality. Your Gardevoir can go if he wants."
After saying that, Caidou waved his hand gently, "I won't follow you."
After that, Caidou took out a thermos cup from the room and said, "Remember to drink this."
This is the medicinal porridge cooked by little master Caidou, which is very good for Xu Qiansu's body.
Xu Qiansu took the thermos cup, and Caidou tilted her chin slightly, "Take Gardevoir away, and leave the other Pokémon behind."
"Woo?"
"Karoo?"
"just?"
Vulpix, the small marsupial, and Vine Snake looked at Ayame in disbelief.
Caido reached out her hand, pinched the back of Vulpix's neck, lifted her up, and looked into her eyes, "Gardevoir has a competition, do you also have a competition? Stay and train."
"Woooo!" Vulpix was not happy. She wanted to stay with Susu.
The marsupials and vines were also reluctant.
"You have no choice." With that said, Caidou pulled the Vulpix, the small marsupial and the vine snake into the room with one hand, then held the door open, only exposing a gap, and then poked his little face out of the room, tilting his head to face Xu Qiansu said:
"Don't plead for them. You have only been a trainer for a short time, so you should work harder... If you hadn't been doting on them, you would have defeated Lurina last time."
Xu Qiansu opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she was blocked by Caidou's scolding.
"Hmph." Caidou snorted softly, said "Go ahead" and closed the door.
Xu Qiansu sighed lightly. Little Master Caidou was a stubborn person. Since she said this, there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
"Little guys, I will definitely buy you some delicious food when I come back." He said.
Gardevoir and Soraya laughed heartlessly.
Gardevoir had legitimate reasons to take leave.
As for Soraya...she doesn't need to fight, so she certainly doesn't need to train.
…
"It's a boxing match..." Ma Li, wearing a loose black dress, stood behind the door, raised her little face and looked at Xu Qiansu, and asked, "You can go, what are you doing here to see me?"
"You've been staying in your room reading for the past two days and it's too boring. Why not go out and take a look?" Xu Qiansu suggested.
"Huh?" Ma Li frowned, then pulled the door handle and was about to close the door.
Xu Qiansu quickly held the door and told the truth, "I've been busy training these days and it's too boring... let's go out and take a look?"
The two sentences are actually similar, but their original meanings are completely different.
There is no need to say much about the first sentence, but the focus of the second sentence... is naturally that Xu Qiansu wants to go out with Ma Li.
Ma Li let go of the door handle and let Xu Qiansu open the door. Then she looked at Xu Qiansu with a half-smile, "Wouldn't it be better if I told you the truth earlier?"
"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear what you want?"
"Of course it's what I like to hear, but at this moment, your truth happens to be what I like to hear." Ma Li stretched out her small hand to hold the black hair behind her and said.
"Then what if you don't like to hear me tell the truth?" Xu Qiansu asked curiously.
"From last year to now, how angry do you think I have been with you?" Ma Li stretched out her little hand, gave Qian Su a slap, and then said, "But this is also a common thing. Although that woman Cattleya likes to play with people's hearts, but Occasionally, I can still say one or two words that make sense."
"What?" Xu Qiansu was stunned for a moment. It would be extremely difficult to get Miss Ma Li to admit to Cattleya.
Ma Li stepped aside and walked toward the room. She took a black beret from the coat rack and put it on. She also took out a small mirror from her pocket and looked at it.
After a few seconds, she put away the mirror and turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu, "Of course we are considerate of each other."
Hearing this, Xu Qiansu smiled and said, "That's true."
"Hmm." Ma Li seemed to be in a good mood. She arranged her clothes again and took a pair of dark red canvas shoes from the shoe cabinet.
"Where's Lillie?" Xu Qiansu looked around the room and asked.
Ma Li bent over, put her little feet in black socks into the shoes, put her slender fingers into the heels and hooked them, and replied, "I was asked to play by Lurina and Sonia... I guess they are also in the water." Boat Arena.”
Because she bent over, Ma Li's skirt was pulled up a bit, revealing black socks, white calves and slender knees.
Xu Qiansu looked around, then took a few steps forward, blocked the door of the room, and asked, "After all these days, you still don't interact with them more?"
"It's just that I'm too lazy to go out, and it's not like I'm a stranger." Ma Li put on her shoes, then took her satchel from the coat rack and put it on her back, "Why do you always care about my interpersonal relationships?"
"Are you worried?"
"What?" Ma Li raised her face.
"If I'm not by your side, you won't even have anyone to talk to."
Ma Li was startled for a moment, then curled up her lips and smiled slightly, "You are really becoming more and more narcissistic. Without you, wouldn't I still have Pokémon?"
"Pokémon can't replace me." Xu Qiansu retorted.
"Then can other friends replace you?"
Snap.
A young man opened the door, carried a backpack, came to the corridor, and walked towards the elevator.
Xu Qiansu and Ma Li withdrew their attention from the young man, came back to their senses, and then couldn't help but look at each other again, and then looked away in unison.
Ma Li stared at the lines on the door frame.
Xu Qiansu stared at the pattern of the door frame on the other side.
Water Boat Arena.
The Pokémon Games have been held for three days, but the place is still in full swing, and the crowds are getting even more intense.
However, Xu Qiansu had a work permit given by Lu Lina, so he entered easily without queuing.
Come to the backstage and say hello to the staff passing by in the corridor.
After twisting and turning, Xu Qiansu saw Lu Lina squatting next to the ice goose to enjoy the coolness.
Lurina was wearing shorts, revealing her two slender legs. She had a lollipop in her mouth and was playing with her mobile phone, her little hands constantly tapping the screen.
Xu Qiansu walked up to her, but she didn't notice.
On the other hand, Bingzui Goose raised his face and looked at each other with Gardevoir.
"Huh?" Bingzui Ge couldn't see his expression at all because of the ice on his head.
"Gardevoir." Gardevoir was much more straightforward. She turned her head and stared at it, with a very angry look on her face.
"Lulina."
"Huh?" Lu Lina frowned, looked up, and suddenly realized that Xu Qiansu had come over without anyone noticing.
Immediately, Lu Lina stood up quickly and patted her clothes, which were not dusty at all... She already had a lot of opinions about Xu Qiansu, so she couldn't let Xu Qiansu see her indecent side, otherwise she would be embarrassed. .
"Are you walking silently?"
"You are too focused on your mobile phone." After saying that, Xu Qiansu asked, "Where are Sonia and Lillie?"
"Liliae was taken out to play by Sonia. There are vendors everywhere in Shuizhou Town right now, just like a festival." Lurina raised her little face, looking proud.
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, "Gardevoir wants to participate in a boxing match... What should I do?"
Lu Lina pouted in dissatisfaction, thinking why Xu Qiansu didn't ask me why I didn't play with him? He doesn’t praise my achievements either…it’s really annoying.
She shook her head gently, swept away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and looked up and down at Gardevoir, "Didn't you tell me that the other day? So I have already signed up for Gardevoir. I will go to participate with my player token at two o'clock in the afternoon..." During the competition, you cannot use skills, you can only rely on fighting. Other than that, there are no restrictions worth mentioning..."
"...The format is to fight in a ring. Do you understand the ring? Stand up and beat whoever disobeys, until no one dares to challenge you..."
After saying that, Lu Lina thought about it for a moment, then clasped her hands together and said with some disbelief, "Your master is amazing. Last year, she stood alone in the ring for an hour, and she fucked every Pokémon. Meng, if a fighter comes, beat him."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I still remember that scene like a god descending to earth... As her closed disciple, you don't go on your own, and you have to rely on Gardevoir." Lurina said scornfully.
Xu Qiansu wants to compare fighting skills. He is indeed far behind Little Master Caidou, but if he compares with fighting...let alone an hour, let alone Little Master Caidou who is in good physical condition but has never been dealt with, even if you are the same Yes, I can make you beg for mercy within an hour.
Ma Li suddenly looked at Xu Qiansu coldly.
Xu Qian stared at his nose with his eyes, and his nose at his heart, remaining silent.
Miss Mary probably doesn't understand the meaning of 'fight', right?
Why does she still look at me like that! ?
Gardevoir counted on his fingers, eh? It's still some time before two o'clock in the afternoon.
She looked at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu looked up as if she had been granted amnesty, smiled, and asked, "What does Gardevoir want to do during this time?"
Ma Li finally moved her cold gaze away from Xu Qiansu and snorted coldly.
Gardevoir wrung his little hands lightly, smiled shyly, and said, "I didn't really want to do anything... I just feel sore and want you to massage me."
The body is sore... Of course Gardevoir will be sore. After all, he trained very hard in the past two days.
"Okay." Xu Qiansu laughed softly, and then asked, "Where is Miss Ma Li?"
Ma Li looked Xu Qiansu over and nodded slightly, "There is nothing in particular that I want to do."
"Then stay with me."
"Um."
Click.
Lu Lina bit the lollipop in her mouth, stared at Xu Qiansu and Ma Li, and then couldn't help laughing.
These two are really interesting.
…
After finding an empty room, Xu Qiansu sat on the sofa, with Gardevoir pillow on Xu Qiansu's lap.
Ma Li sat opposite, took out a book from her bag, opened it halfway, and looked at it carefully. A few strands of hair hung down from her forehead.
Xu Qiansu reached out and pressed Gardevoir's soft back, pressing gently.
Gardevoir narrowed his eyes, thinking that this was so comfortable.
Xu Qiansu's hand seemed to have magic power. With a gentle touch, Gardevoir felt a soft warmth inside her body, making her think about nothing and just relax...
"Are you asleep?" After a while, Ma Li raised her eyes, glanced at Gardevoir through the book, and whispered.
Xu Qiansu kept moving her hands and continued to press carefully.
"If this continues, your legs will be sore, right?"
"fine."
Ma Li withdrew her gaze and said no more words.
The only sound in the room was the soft sound of Mali occasionally turning the pages of a book.
In the end, Ma Li just changed the environment to read... but she was also happy with it.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, an extremely deep roar came from outside, shaking the windows so much that they rattled.
When Gardevoir woke up, he found that he and Xu Qiansu were already lying on the sofa, hugging each other.
Gardevoir looked at Xu Qiansu's sleeping face, blinked his eyes, and recalled for a moment...he remembered nothing.
"Are you awake?" Ma Li's clear voice suddenly came to her ears, and Gardevoir was startled. She subconsciously stretched out her small hands to hold Xu Qiansu's head, and buried it into her chest.
"Huh?" Xu Qiansu raised her face in confusion, but she only felt difficulty breathing and an indescribable feeling that was beyond words.
Mali raised her eyebrows and took a deep breath, thinking that Gardevoir was a Pokémon, not a nasty woman like Cattleya. If Gardevoir was really treated as a threatening woman, then something must be abnormal. Own.
She turned over a page in the book and said calmly, "The competition has already started half an hour ago. Lulina came to see you, but since the competition is in the ring, I think you can rest for a while and go directly to it later. Just fight the strongest one."
Xu Qiansu finally struggled out from in front of Gardevoir. His breathing was somewhat rapid. He straightened up and looked down at Gardevoir.
Gardevoir's big amber eyes blinked, and those clear eyes seemed to ask how they could sleep together.
Xu Qiansu rubbed her face that was still a little warm and explained, "I just wanted to take a nap for a while, but I didn't expect to fall asleep directly at this point..."
He stood up and rubbed his slightly sore shoulders with one hand. He came to the window and took a look below. He saw that a stone arena had indeed risen in the center of the battlefield... It should be Lurina's rock arena. Changed.
There were many people and Pokémon gathered around the ring, and on top of the ring stood a tall Blastoise. It raised its thick arms high and roared wildly. Not far away, there was another person lying on the ground. With a domineering panda... It seems that the Blastoise just won a game.
Gardevoir rubbed his eyes and came to Xu Qiansu's side. Then he frowned, feeling that this big turtle was so annoying... What was it called? Did you never win or something?
Gardevoir's anger was rising slowly because she was angry when she got up.
"Want to wait a little longer, or should we go now?" Xu Qiansu looked at the water arrow turtle for a few times, then looked up at Gardevoir and asked.
"Now~" However, Gardevoir, who was still looking a bit ugly, changed into a sweet smile the moment Xu Qiansu looked over, and said with a slightly coquettish chuckle.
"Okay, let's go now." Xu Qiansu turned around and said hello to Ma Li, then walked out of the room.
Gardevoir's sweet smile faded instantly. She glared viciously at the Blastoise who was shouting below, and then followed Xu Qiansu with vigorous steps.
Ma Li sighed softly and closed the book gently with a soft 'snap' sound.
She thought to herself that Gardevoir had become less and less like a Pokémon recently. With every glance, smile, and every move, she looked like a little lover who liked Xu Qiansu very much.
But every Pokémon in Xu Qiansu’s seems to be like this?
Ma Li shook her head slightly, stood up and left.
…
"How many consecutive victories is this?"
"It's been ten consecutive victories..."
"Even the domineering panda couldn't defeat this water arrow turtle...it's too scary."
"How strong is this Water Arrow Turtle? He defeated ten enemies in a row without showing signs of fatigue."
"It can only be because there aren't many challengers yet... If you try it a few more times, you won't believe its stamina will be endless."
"Then you go and be that cannon fodder."
"I'm not going."
"cut."
"Whose Pokémon is this? It's so strong."
"I don't know...Is there a trainer in Galar who is famous for his Blastoise?"
"...Maybe it belongs to Teacher Lu."
"She has a Blastoise?"
"Anyway, she is a water-type gym leader, so she may have bred many different water-type Pokémon."
"That's true."
When Xu Qiansu left the backstage and came around the ring, he heard a lot of chatter around the ring... In the few short minutes he left the backstage, the Blastoise seemed to have defeated another domineering panda.
It seems that this water arrow turtle is indeed quite capable.
Lu Lina, who had followed Xu Qiansu down to join in the fun, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard the discussion, and couldn't help complaining to Ma Li, "Although I am the water gym leader, I can't support everything! Ma Li, you are For the next generation of evil gym leaders, they should be able to understand my kind of..."
Because the sound was too loud, it attracted the attention of many people. Lu Lina quickly pushed down her sun hat and adjusted her sunglasses... If someone discovered her true identity, the game would not be normal. organized.
However, because no one expected that Lurina would appear here, the people around them just glanced at it and then looked away.
Lu Lina breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a small sign from her pocket and handed it to Xu Qiansu, "Now, this is Gardevoir's player token, hang it up for her."
Xu Qiansu looked at it and saw a small iron plate with a photo of Gardevoir on it, and a black string on the back... He wrapped it around Gardevoir's slender neck, and then touched the side of Gardevoir's face, " Le?"
Gardevoir looked at it curiously. The iron plate was cold against her skin. After hearing this, she shook her head, then looked at the water arrow turtle who was shouting loudly, and then at Xu Qiansu.
"Go ahead, don't get hurt." Xu Qiansu smiled lightly and said.
"Remember the rule is that you can't use skills." Lu Lina reminded from the side, "Neither can you use super powers."
Gardevoir nodded lightly.
"No one dares to play anymore?"
"The domineering panda has been defeated...has any Kirby signed up for the competition? Let Kirby come up and try to see if he can defeat the Water Arrow Turtle with his tonnage."
"I think even Kirbymon may not have a chance of winning..."
Just when everyone was talking about it, they saw a slender and graceful figure lightly jumping onto the ring, raising her little face to look at the roaring Water Arrow Turtle.
"This is...Gardevoir!?"
"It's Gardevoir."
"How can Gardevoir come on stage!?"
"Look at this Gardevoir with its thin arms and legs. Isn't it just to deliver?"
"Who is Gardevoir who beats people with his fists!?"
As soon as Gardevoir appeared, the crowd was instantly in an uproar. Countless people looked at her with disdain, shock, or astonishment.
"Eh? It seems like there is a Gardevoir who beats people with his fists?" One of the spectators frowned, thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said in shock,
"Xu Qiansu! Doesn't Xu Qiansu's Gardevoir hit people with its fists!? I've seen the video of his battle with Yaluo... Heisha... I just happen to be able to fight against him!"
"Xu Qiansu? Who is it!?"
"never heard of that."
"You don't even know about Xu Qiansu!? The one who showed up during Teacher Tianlu's live broadcast?"
"I didn't watch the live broadcast."
"Oh~ I have an impression of that pretty boy."
"Hey! Who are you calling a pretty girl? What do you know about Susu?" A woman in her twenties retorted at this time.
"Susu... don't you feel tired of calling me that?"
"What does it have to do with you?" At this time, another teenage girl raised her eyebrows and retorted in a sweet voice.
Ma Li squinted at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but stretched out her hand to scratch the side of her face and smiled, "I can't show off to others with a mask on, right?"
Ma Li narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, then looked away, knowing that Xu Qiansu couldn't be blamed for this.
Lu Lina sneered disdainfully at those little fans of Xu Qiansu, wondering what there was to like about Xu Qiansu.
Isn't it just that he is more handsome, stronger, has a nicer voice, and has a smarter mind? Because he is Caidou's apprentice, he should also have a better figure...
Yep, not worth mentioning.
Not as good as me at all.
Seeing that nothing happened on the stage, but when they were about to start a fight because of Xu Qiansu, they saw the Water Arrow Turtle put down his thick arms and tilted his head to look down at Gardevoir.
Gardevoir is 1.7 meters tall and is considered the tallest among the Gardevoir group.
But this water arrow turtle is a full two meters tall. It is extremely developed and looks like a hill. It gives people a sense of oppression that is no less than that of an armored warrior.
Gardevoir narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at it.
The Water Arrow Turtle sneered, thinking that this time his opponent would be such a thin bamboo pole. He wouldn't be beaten to pieces with just one slap, right? It seems that I will have to hold back my strength later.
The referee also looked at Gardevoir with some disbelief, and checked the identity token several times to make sure that Gardevoir was a player who signed up for the competition, and then he raised his hand unbearably, "Let the competition begin!"
"Roar!" The water arrow turtle looked up to the sky and roared to show its power.
However, Gardevoir suddenly stepped on the ground, and the stone ground instantly cracked, with cracks and gravel flying everywhere, and Gardevoir had already arrived in front of the Water Arrow Turtle like thunder.
Take a stance, take a deep breath, raise your waist, accumulate strength, and punch, all in one go.
Click——
There seems to be a crack in the shell of the water arrow turtle's abdomen.
boom!
The water arrow turtle's voice paused for an instant, and then flew backwards like a sharp arrow. In an instant, it spanned a distance of several feet and hit the wall at the edge of the underwater arena, making another "boom" sound. 'Muffled sound.
boom.
The water arrow turtle fell from the wall with the patter of gravel... There were circles in his eyes, and he had lost consciousness.
The spectators who were arguing just now fell silent for an instant.
