"This is Melissa's style, meow~"
Meow Meow also had tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth: "Just for this dress, Musashi must become the Queen of Kalos!"
"Ss ...
"But how should I give it to Musashi?" Kojiro held up the dark-colored bag and stroked his chin. "If I give it directly to her, she won't want it, right?"
"Musashi is a very proud meow. If it's too expensive, she will definitely not accept it."
Meowth crossed his arms and thought for a moment before a lightbulb lit up in his head, "Right, meow, we should exchange gifts. Just give the clothes to Musashi, meow."
"Exchanging gifts?"
"It's a tradition of Biyi City, meow. Legend has it that a trainer and his goat came to a fertile land and built Biyi City. The goat gave him a sapling."
Meowth gestured, "Then the sapling grew taller and taller until it became a towering tree. People called it the 'Tree of Promise'. During the annual festival, trainers would exchange gifts under the tree, Meowth."
Kojiro's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What a good idea! Let's go to Biyi City together and exchange gifts."
"Let's do it, meow." Meow Meow nodded.
"Ss ...
…
Sirona has been very conflicted recently.
Because the annual festival in Biyi City is coming, trainers exchange gifts under the "Tree of Promise" and give their favorite items to friends, lovers and Pokémon.
Garchomp, Lucario, Togekiss, Sea Slug... Each Pokémon needs to prepare a gift, that's six.
Lu Ye and his Pokémon, Gengar, Sylveon, Meloetta... That would require at least ten gifts.
How to choose these gifts, what is the best gift for Lu Ye and Pokémon
Thinking of this, Shirona, who was having a hard time making a choice, started to feel confused.
One day has passed since the food festival.
Shirona returned to the Sinnoh League and came to the duty hall. During her break, she asked Granny Kikuno who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
"What gift would be better?"
Granny Kikuno, wearing a scarf, held up a thermos cup and blew away the hot air. She said calmly, "Of course I'll give it to the other person."
"I understand, but I can't really choose..."
Sirona said helplessly. Her pretty face looked haggard because of thinking about the gift.
"Listing out the options will make things easier if we narrow the scope," suggested Grandma Kikuno.
Shirona put her hand on her chin, pondered for a moment, her gray eyes flickering: "Yes... I want to give it to Garchomp, there are exquisite headbands, life orbs, and strength wristbands..."
"Then give it to Lu Ye... I have considered many options and written them down on paper. Grandma, please take a look at them..."
Shirona went back to the office to get her notes. Granny Kikuno shook her head in silence, sighing that the beautiful love between the trainers was like the melting spring snow and a breeze blowing through the grass in the wilderness.
After a while, Shirona held a stack of notebooks and placed them on the coffee table in front of Grandma Kikuno, like a class representative handing in all the homework to the teacher.
"So many?" Granny Kikuno was dumbfounded.
"Because my Pokémon and Lu Ye's Pokémon... these gifts need to be considered..."
Sirona smiled shyly and charmingly, and explained: "I tend to get tangled up easily, so I wrote it all down."
Granny Kikuno sighed.
I'm quite envious of Lu Ye... At least my partner has never considered things so thoroughly.
"I have nothing to do this afternoon, let me help you with the consultation." Grandma Kikuno flipped open her notebook. There was no other way, because she was the only one with rich experience among the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Thank you for your help." Sirona bowed slightly, pushed the golden hair away from her cheek, and smiled sweetly.
At sunset, Sirona decided on a gift for Tyrannosaurus and returned to her residence with great confidence.
"Kaao?" Seeing Zhulan's excited expression, Lieyao Lu Shark blinked in confusion.
"You'll know in a few days."
Sirona stroked the top of Land Shark's head with a smile.
She plans to give the beautiful Heart Scale to Garchomp to thank it for its companionship since childhood.
The gift for Lu Ye has not been decided yet, so Sirona asked her friends Wanlong, Cattleya and others.
The first person to ask was Cattleya. After hearing the purpose of the call, Cattleya quickly hung up the phone.
Immediately, her housekeeper Shi Lan called back and complained, "The young lady almost blew up the entire castle!"
"Sorry... I got too carried away." Sirona coughed lightly, wanting to share the joy of the festival.
But thinking about it carefully, I really shouldn't tell Cattleya about this, because she is easily jealous...
The second person to ask was Wanlong. She was staying at home writing a novel and replied in a surprised tone:
"What is this? Miss Zhulan wants me to share her daily love life? I must write it into the novel."
"If you don't want to be challenged by me, you can give it a try." Sirona said with a faint smile.
"Ah... You suddenly asked me this, and I don't know what to do."
Wanlong was bare-faced, wearing pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed next to the desk. "How about giving a copy of my book to Mr. Lu? He will definitely like it. After all, he will be the hero of my next book, called... Hello?"
The person on the other end of the phone hung up. Wanlong muttered a few words and sent another voice message, suggesting that she ask Karen.
As a film queen, Caroline often receives gifts from admirers from all over the world, and she knows best what gifts to give.
“Windbreaker.”
Karuna said in a gentle tone: "It's just right in the foggy city of Miare. I've also recently set my eyes on a designer windbreaker, but it costs half of my salary for the movie... These luxury goods dealers are really crazy."
Sirona frowned and said, "Let me think about it."
Karuna waited quietly for Zhulan for a long time, then raised her finger to her red lips to her manager who was telling her to hurry up and said softly:
"Perhaps, there is such a legend in Kalos... a Poké Ball that was split in two..."
…
November 7, Sunday, the beginning of winter.
Mengmengda has returned to the Sinnoh League, so Lidong can't spend the winter solstice with her.
According to custom, the "Champion Chef" prepared red bean glutinous rice balls and dumplings for tonight's feast.
Night soon fell in the foggy city of Miare. Pedestrians walked on the rainy streets with umbrellas. The sky was like a gray curtain. Prism towers stood tall, angular buildings were lined up, and low-flying dark crows flew over the streets.
The light from the street lamp was blurred in the mist, and the coffee shop on the corner was shining with warm light. A layer of mist formed on the glass. The mist was wiped away by a handkerchief, revealing Gengar's chubby cheeks. He blew on the mirror again, wiped it carefully, and then grinned.
Many "guests" came to the store: Machado, Dream, Diancie...
There was a bustling noise, the clinking of knives, forks and bowls, the undisguised laughter of Pokémon, and the roar of Teacher Lu.
"Windspeed, move out of the way and don't block the entrance of the store."
"Don't be afraid, Frostmilk. Bangilas won't eat you... probably."
"Latias, could you please stop flying around? It makes me dizzy."
"I want it!" Latias puffed up his cheeks.
"Banquilas—that dish is not for you to eat!"
"Bangji... (￣~￣)" Bangilas chewed the broken ceramic pieces with a 'crunch' sound, crushing the dumplings together with them.
Victini was flying freely in the air, with crumbs on his cheeks, happily holding the macaron: "Nimi~"
Mew used telekinesis to make Togepi float up, holding the game console in his hand, and occasionally turned his head to look at the screen of Togepi who was operating it seriously: "Mew~~"
Hmm... My screen is black again, let's see how Togepi plays...
Machado stood on the floor with an uneasy look on his face. The dark color of the furniture seemed to be out of tune with the style of the store.
But there was an old veteran who was more natural than it—Darkrai floated beside the long table, with turbid mist rolling, elegantly holding a knife and fork, cutting energy cubes.
“Masha…” Mashado looked dazed.
Is this really a coffee shop... and not the Divine Beast Club
“Woo~!”
Machado felt someone poking it, turned his head, and saw the little penguin carrying a luggage bag on its shoulder.
The messenger bird, its black eyes sparkling, handed over a gift box.
You are new here, right? Here's a gift for you.
Machado looked at the gift, unsure of what to pay attention to. He turned his head and noticed the Blastoise beside him.
"Kamei..." Blastoise nodded calmly.
Don't worry, there is no bomb here!
"Do you want dumplings or rice balls? Just pretend I didn't ask, you guys eat everything..."
Lu Ye muttered to himself as he brought a steaming white plate to the table.
Onion Ranger: "Ga... (?﹃?)"
I want the onion stuffed one...
The long dining table was surrounded by Pokémon. There were delicious dishes on the table, and the Pokémon sitting at the table were arguing endlessly.
Lu Ye had a headache on his face. He sat down at the dining table and smiled helplessly.
"Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Luye?"
Sitting next to me, Princess Diancie, with a dazzling diamond on her head and bright eyes, spoke in a gentle tone.
"I feel much better after seeing you." Lu Ye said with a smile.
"You're too kind." Princess Diancie covered her lips with her hand and smiled happily.
It was drizzling outside and the night was dark.
The room was filled with warm light and noisy.
Lu Ye, Cong Youbing, and Princess Diancie maintained elegant dining etiquette.
Elegant and timeless.
The phone vibrated, Lu Ye walked to the eaves of the courtyard, looked at the drizzle in the yard, and said:
"Hey, Master Fu, what's wrong?"
"Lu Ye... I still remember the mapo tofu yesterday. It was very delicious." Mr. Fu praised.
"You're welcome. You can come to the coffee shop often." Lu Ye said with a smile.
"It's like this... This time I'm the one treating you and your Pokémon to the festival in Biyi City."
Mr. Fu smiled and said, "It's an annual festival with grand celebrations and the tradition of the Tree of Promise."
"The tree of oath?"
"Yes, trainers will make an eternal vow when exchanging gifts under the tree." Mr. Fu said with emotion.
Lu Ye's heart moved slightly, and he replied: "I will also come to Biyi City tomorrow to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament as a judge."
"Oh? That's a coincidence." Uncle Fu said in surprise.
A champion can have such achievements in various fields, perhaps this is the result of learning from one example and being able to apply it to many other situations.
"See you then." Lu Ye said with a smile.
"Well, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ye put his hands in his pockets, thinking.
What gift is better for Zhulan
Diamond rings? No… It’s inappropriate for a holiday that’s more about bonding than romance.
You still need to think carefully about what gift to give to your Pokémon...
Lu Ye suddenly thought of Xiaozhi and his group’s itinerary.
In order to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, Xiaozhi and Serena should also arrive in Biyi City to participate in this festival.
