Just like Meow Meow, who longed to become a human, learned to stand on two feet and thus learned human language.
Maxiu longed to become a Pokémon, put on fairy wings, and then mastered the Elvish language.
Thinking of the story of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly mentioned by Ma Xiu just now, Lu Ye thought to himself:
"In the spirit world, Zhuang Zhou should have dreamed of Butterfree... and his soul was connected with Butterfree?"
Lu Ye coughed lightly, took out the gift bag he was carrying, and handed it to Ma Xiu:
"You have come from afar, and this is my welcome gift as the host."
Ma Xiu took it with a little surprise, "Can I open it now?"
"Of course, it's okay to eat it directly. They are all freshly baked." Lu Ye said.
Ma Xiu was slightly startled and looked at Teacher Lu.
Compared to her who couldn't do everything as she pleased, Teacher Lu's casualness made her feel a little envious.
She bowed with perfect etiquette, her cascading black hair spreading out on the tatami.
Immediately, she carefully opened the bag and Maxiu opened her eyes slightly.
"Buyi~"
On Maxiu's lap, Ibrahimovic, the fairy of Maxiu, couldn't help but look up and rubbed Maxiu's chest.
"She said it smells so good." Maxiu translated for Fairy Eevee.
"If it smells good, let's try it." Lu Ye said, "My Gengar has already eaten an entire oven."
"Koujie~ (?﹃?)" Geng Gui floated above Lu Ye.
Ma Xiu held up the exquisite Macron in both hands, took small bites of the chocolate coating, and the delicious taste seeped into every corner of her body like a trickle of water.
The crispy nuts in your mouth are like the cherry blossom forest dotted at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, and the fragrance permeates between your lips and tongue.
Ma Xiu's cheeks flushed slightly. She raised her long sleeves to cover her eyes. After adjusting her disordered breathing, she leaned forward and smiled:
"Very delicious, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ye nodded: "Next, let's talk about business..."
In an instant, countless images flashed through Ma Xiu's mind, her cheeks turned red, and she whispered:
"Please give your orders, Lord Lu Ye."
"Come and take a look." Lu Ye scratched his head, "Did my Fairy Eevee add the wrong point?"
"… Please send out Sylveon."
Ma Xiu looked a little regretful, paused for a moment, and said with a smile:
"In fact, I also prepared a gift for Fairy Eevee."
Lu Ye felt a sense of crisis.
Their eyes met, Ma Xiu blinked, Lu Ye felt a strange mood:
"Come out, Fairy Eevee."
"Buyi! (〝▼皿▼)"
In an instant, a fierce murderous aura filled the room.
Maxiu's fairy Ibrahimovic shrank his head, and Maxiu was slightly stunned...
Chapter 505: News from Cresselia
"This Fairy Eevee is very cute, but his eyes seem a bit fierce..."
Ma Xiu looked down at her own trembling fairy Ibrahimovic in her arms and thought to herself:
"The aura is completely suppressed..."
"What is it saying?" Lu Ye asked curiously.
Ma Xiu whispered: "It said, let me stay away from you..."
This is indeed the character of his fairy Eevee. Lu Ye continued to ask:
"Then do you think my Fairy Eevee is cute?"
As soon as the question came out, Teacher Lu slapped his thigh in anger in his heart.
Damn it, I asked the wrong question. What I wanted to ask was the cultivation method!
"..." Ma Xiu opened her mouth and nodded, "Yes, yes... Very cute."
Lu Ye imitated Maxiu, hugged Fairy Eevee in his arms, and stroked its soft snow-white fur.
"Did you hear that? People praised you for being cute."
"Buyi~o(?^｀)o" Fairy Eevee didn't give any face and the ribbon quietly wrapped around Lu Ye's arm.
This whole scene fell into Maxiu's eyes.
She smiled and said, "There is a deep bond between you and Fairy Eevee."
"I am here for Sylveon too." Lu Ye pondered, "I want to ask you about the training method for advanced fairy-type."
"Also, is there any hidden danger to Sylveon with the current training method..."
Every profession has its own expertise. Even if you are a champion, you may not be stronger than a fairy gym owner in the field of fairy.
As the little ones' strength gradually improves, the previous training methods can easily lead to health risks.
Teacher Lu is deeply aware of this.
This time, I asked Maxiu for some fairy skills, from the perspective of the little one's health.
From another perspective... The elves in Mr. Lu's family are eager to become stronger, and it is also for Mr. Lu.
The goals of both parties, in some strange way, have achieved a contradictory unity of opposites...
Ma Xiu looked at Sylveon carefully and said, "It seems to be good at physical attack moves, and it is a characteristic of "Fairy Skin", right?"
Lu Ye nodded.
"Close combat has always been one of Sylveon's fighting styles." Ma Xiu said softly, "At least from my observation, both its cultivation and training are perfect..."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned, and said: "Then do you know that after mastering the "Power of the Moon", Sylveon can learn higher-level fairy-type moves?"
A thoughtful look appeared on Ma Xiu's delicate, doll-like face.
After a long while, she slowly said: "I heard that the power contained in the new moon can make the "moon power" burst out with even more powerful power."
"Among them, we need to use the extremely rare Crescent Moon Feather..." Ma Xiu sighed, "However, that kind of thing, I'm afraid that very few people can..."
"Are you talking about this?" Lu Ye shook the crescent-shaped pendant in his hand.
Ma Xiu: “…”
The expression on the girl's face changed from confusion to astonishment, and finally to a hint of envy that could not be concealed.
Ma Xiu looked at Lu Ye deeply and said, "That's right... It is indeed this, the Feather of the New Moon."
"What are the specific training methods?"
"It depends on the person, and we need to keep exploring." Ma Xiu covered her sleeves, smiled slightly, and said half-jokingly: "Or we can find Cresselia, which will surely provide a purer crescent moon power."
"Creseria..." Lu Ye frowned slightly and fell into thought.
The legendary Dream God, despite being a psychic, possesses the power of the Crescent Moon which is closely related to the Fairy type.
It is rumored that Cresselia can foresee the coming of nightmares. This ability to "predict the future" makes the Dream God rarely appear in front of humans with evil intentions.
"Then I probably won't see it."
Lu Ye thought: "But confirming the condition of Sylveon is also a gain."
"If you are worried, you can give Fairy Eevee to me first." Ma Xiu stretched out her hands, "I can check it carefully again."
"Bu Yi!o(?^｀)o" Fairy Eevee turned his head and ignored Maxiu completely.
"It's done now. Thank you very much." Lu Ye said with a smile, "I got valuable information."
"No way~" Ma Xiu looked at Teacher Lu who was holding Sylph Eevee, and smiled with her sleeves covered.
In the cultivation of the fairy system, the power of emotion is crucial.
And in Mr. Lu and Sylph Eevee, Ma Xiu saw a deep bond between them.
This is exactly what Mashi has been pursuing, that trainers and Pokémon understand each other and trust each other.
It’s like when you dream of a butterfly, the butterfly also dreams of you.
Subconsciously, a bright smile, different from her previous business-like smile, spread across Maxiu's face.
Lu Ye took a look and said, "You seem very happy."
Ma Xiu touched her cheek, a smile still lingering on her lips: "Is there?"
"The smile before seemed quite distant and was just for socializing."
Lu Ye looked at the big wings behind Ma Xiu: "And the smile now... is like finally getting rid of a heavy burden."
Ma Xiu fell into a long silence and sighed, "Because most of the time, I can't do what I want, Teacher Lu."
“I want to open a small shop of my own, but I have a whole aromatherapy dojo behind me.”
"I need to constantly hold fashion shows, design new styles, and communicate with customers... so that they can recognize this exotic style and allow them to survive after traveling across the ocean."
"Are you referring to the group of geishas who followed you from Yuanzhu City to Carlos?" Lu Ye asked.
Ma Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Ye, and said: "You seem to really be able to "predict the future", Mr. Lu..."
"Because I've been a teacher for a long time, I have some skills in judging people." Lu Ye's eyes were bright and he smiled and said, "Do you know the champion of Galar, Emperor Dan?"
Ma Xiu was slightly startled, then nodded gently: "I have heard of it before."
"That guy carries the entire Galar on his back."
Lu Ye fell into memories: "For Galar, he can only keep winning, winning, and protecting the title of 'the strongest champion'."
"But he is not a vehicle to carry the title of 'champion'."
Lu Ye said, "Before he became the champion, he was first the strongest trainer, Dantei."
Ma Xiu looked at Lu Ye blankly.
“Before he carries the fate of others, he is first an independent individual and an independent soul. A person is not born to bear fate, but it is fate that drives him to become stronger and stronger.”
Lu Ye said: "And the weight you carry on your shoulders is not only borne by you, but also by your companions and your Pokémon."
Lu Ye looked at Ma Xiu.
“It’s not to let you avoid responsibility, but when you can’t hold on any longer, there will always be something to give you strength… even if that is responsibility itself.”
Ma Xiu's body trembled slightly, and the figure of her mentor was reflected in her black pupils.
She asked softly, "So, how does your destiny make you stronger?"
For a moment, Lu Ye's expression became a little complicated.
He wished he could show his scarred back to Maxiu.
After a long while, Lu Ye stroked his shirt, where the diary was, and spoke hoarsely:
"It's hatred. My past is always chasing me."
Ma Xiu looked at the mentor in front of her who was young but seemed to have experienced many hardships.
Something in her body seemed to be echoing, and Ma Xiu gently comforted her:
"You must have had a very hard life..."
"Koujie!ヾ(≧?≦*)ヾ" Gengar, who was floating nearby and watching the show, suddenly burst into laughter.
Lu Ye coughed lightly and restrained his expression: "Anyway, thank you for the information you provided. Fairy Eevee and I will go back first."
"Buyi~" Fairy Eevee Ribbon took Lu Ye's arm and turned around to leave happily.
“Please, wait a moment!”
Ma Xiu said in a panic, "I, I also brought you a gift!"
