"Xiaozhi, remember to call me tomorrow morning..."
"Didn't you just say you reminded me?" Xiaozhi asked, scratching his head.
"I changed my mind!"
There were three seats arranged side by side, with Gengar sitting in the middle, spreading out the small table and enjoying the sailing meal.
Xiaozhi's eyes widened: "Geng Gui, you are not full yet?!"
"Kou Jie?" Geng Gui glanced at him.
Little brother, who are you looking down on
Lu Ye was resting with his eyes closed, trying to recall the contents of the incident.
To be honest... I only remembered the outline.
Even the name of the city of Orudran was something Lu Ye searched for out of curiosity.
I was really impressed when I found out that the prototype was the Black Swan Castle in Germany.
"I remember it was related to the Wave Hero Aaron, Xiaozhi, and Lucario..."
Lu Ye thought about it and decided to inquire more about it when he arrived in the city of Orudran.
Let’s go to bed first.
Lu Ye rubbed his eyebrows.
At worst, we can let Satoshi go through the story after completing Professor Oak's commission.
With the physique of a super newbie, there is no need to worry about anything going wrong...
Having said that, Lu Ye still couldn't sleep.
After opening the group chat and finding that everyone was still awake, Lu Ye connected to the wireless network.
The time jumped to exactly midnight, marking the beginning of New Year's Day.
"It's New Year's Eve!" Ajin cheered.
"Happy New Year~" Xiao Lan sent an emoticon of a lucky cat.
"Is Donghuang celebrating the Spring Festival?"
Xiao Gang still had the attributes of a 'wife' as always, and said with a smile: "Teacher Lu, I wish you a happy new year."
Lu Ye couldn't help but smile: "Happy New Year!"
[Group member 'Call me if you need help with mining' sent a red envelope with a password, come and claim it! ]
Xiaozhi: Happy New Year!
Ah Li: Happy New Year!
…
When he saw the amount of the red envelope, Ali sniffed his nose covered with a Band-Aid and his expression was moved.
After so many years... this is the first time I received a New Year red envelope!
Thank you, Daigo-senpai! o(╥﹏╥)o
"Happy New Year." Qinglu nodded slightly, "Xiaozhi and Mr. Lu, are you on your mission?"
"Yeah... spending New Year's Eve on the flight." Lu Ye felt a pang in his heart.
Or with the stupid thing.
And what will happen next is still unknown—
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Teacher Lu!" Xiaozhi said with a smile.
Ma Zhishi:
Teacher Lu: [rubbing the dog head upstairs angrily]
Teacher Lu: Sorry, I rubbed the wrong person.
Ma Zhishi: I want to rub it back! [Rubbing the dog's head angrily]
[Group member 'Captain Shuiliu' was banned from speaking for 5 minutes by the group owner. ]
Nancy:
As a fellow member of Team Rocket, Nancy couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
The situation is stronger than us, we have to bow our heads!
Ma Zhishi's eyes jumped and he muttered:
"Forget it... I can just go back and rub Jin's spiky hair next time."
Aunt Kona looked at the fireworks outside the window, silently took off her glasses and wiped the lenses.
Kona: I won’t make any wishes in the new year, the results will be the same anyway.
Ajin: Looking for a boyfriend
[Group member 'Ajin' was banned from speaking for 12 hours by group administrator 'Kona'. ]
Red smiled and said, "I hope that in the new year, I can become stronger together with Green!"
"Public confession!?" Xiao Lan was shocked.
Qinglu snorted coldly, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
Is it because... except me, no one else can catch up with you
Very interesting!
The festive atmosphere diluted Teacher Lu's slight uneasiness.
[Happy New Year~（Land Shark’s forced smile.jpg）]
When seeing the ice cream avatar and the holiday greetings sent, Teacher Lu smiled slightly.
Once this commission is completed... I will go back to see Sirona!
Wait.
Teacher Lu’s heart tightened.
Why do I feel like I have set a very dangerous flag
…
January 1st, sunny.
Lu Ye woke up early anyway.
In order to prepare breakfast, I unknowingly developed the habit of getting up early.
Teacher Lu couldn't help but miss the days when he slept until the afternoon...
"Wake up." Lu Ye glanced at Xiao Zhi who was drooling beside him, "Stupid thing!"
"Ah? Late!?" Xiaozhi woke up in a hurry.
"I really envy those who can have a deep sleep while traveling." Lu Ye sighed.
"Hey, you're used to camping outside!"
Chatting, the two got off the plane and headed towards their destination.
The city of Orudran.
The view on both sides is wide, with rolling mountains covered with snow.
You can even see old-fashioned trains passing through the wilderness, with steam spewing out of the locomotives.
A long stone bridge leads to a white stone castle at the end, with a layer of snow on the top of the pointed tower.
"The treetops are all frozen." Xiaozhi exhaled a breath of white air.
"It's quite beautiful." Lu Ye looked around. At the bottom of the stone bridge was a mirror-like frozen lake.
Standing on the stone bridge, you can enjoy the castle and the lake view at the same time—
It does look a bit like Mondstadt
The stone bridge was long and wide. Lu Ye summoned Arcanine and dragged Xiaozhi along.
"Let's go, we can still keep warm."
"Ooo ...
The two rode on Arcanine and arrived at the city gate, where they actually saw guards in armor.
Upon learning the purpose of this visit, the guard smiled slightly:
"Yes, Dr. Talley is staying here temporarily."
"Great!" Xiaozhi stretched out his hand and shook it, looking at Lu Ye and said with a smile, "Take the documents back and you can complete the mission!"
"In theory, yes."
Lu Ye touched his chin and asked, "Did Professor Oak tell you what the specific documents are?"
"It seems like... studying some Pokémon manuscript?" Xiaozhi scratched his head.
Lu Ye didn't delve into it further.
Anyway, it was Xiaozhi's assessment task, and he was only responsible for taking care of and supervising his peers.
The most important thing right now is to understand the background of the city of Orudran as soon as possible.
"Is there an elf center in the city?" Lu Ye asked the guard.
"Of course, and there is also Miss Joy who is specially sent by the Alliance."
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
That's not a big problem... just ask Joey!
…
After entering the city, Lu Ye waved to Xiao Zhi and said:
"Go find Dr. Talley. We'll meet at the Pokémon Center in two hours."
"No problem!" Xiaozhi nodded.
"Pikachu~~"
After watching Teacher Lu walk away, Pikachu jumped down lightly and looked around.
"What's wrong, Pikachu?" asked Xiaozhi.
"Pika..." Pikachu shook his head.
"Let's finish the test first." Xiaozhi picked up Pikachu, "and then we'll go meet up with Mr. Lu."
"Pikachu~!"
The figures of Imp and Pikachu appeared in the telescope's picture.
"The little brat is alone!" Musashi said excitedly.
"But why would the cadres be with the little brat?"
"Idiot!" Meowth leaped up and angrily slapped Kojiro on the head, "It must be that the cadre has taken a fancy to that Pikachu and is waiting for an opportunity to take action, meowth!"
"If we had caught that Pikachu in advance and presented it to the cadres..." Musashi rubbed his hands with a chuckle.
The three of them looked up at the sky.
[A large hand caresses Fairy Eevee. From the shadows, the hoarse voice of the mentor comes:
Well done... For turning in Pikachu, I'll promote you three to team leaders!]
“What a great feeling~!”
"Soo-nan-shi!"
…
In a corner that the trio can't see.
