According to Detective Rotom's later recollections, at Gengar's concert, the little guys barely escaped with the help of Rotom's "Exchange Venue".
Wild Pokémon in Ripple Town aren’t so lucky…
The rows of shiny agate jellyfish on the coastline fled overnight. However, because of this, the risk of swimming for tourists has also dropped significantly.
Miss Junsha sighed that Mr. Lu is indeed an expert in managing "wild Pokémon disasters"!
Lu Ye learned about this later and looked at Geng Gui who was humming a song while cleaning the room.
Even Meloetta's artistic fluctuations could not save "Fat Gengar Tiger" from his death singing.
From another perspective, Gengar's mastery of "Song of Destruction" is something that even Meloetta cannot match!
“This may be the bond between me and the Song-Exterminating Team.”
Teacher Lu thought so with mixed feelings.
For two days, Sirona carefully guided Alice's training;
Teacher Lu continued to teach Xiaozhi how to use tactics.
"Anyway, you are good at flying, so it's good for you to carry 'Swallow Return'." Lu Ye commented.
The fast break lineup is a cancer, but it is very happy.
Don’t ask, the only thing I know is that Pirates are the best in the world!
Xiaozhi nodded and turned to look at Alice who was looking up and talking to Sirona.
Dragonite was standing behind her arrogantly. When he caught a glimpse of the irritable Fairy Lady from the corner of his eye, he immediately folded his wings in shame.
Xiaozhi recalled: "My Charizard... has a similar temper to Alice's Dragonite. I don't know which one is stronger."
"This Dragonite was already at a very high level before it was captured, and Alice has an affinity for dragons," Lu Ye said. "Even your Charizard needs to be well commanded to defeat Alice."
Xiaozhi's eyes were bright, looking forward to the World Junior Cup next week, and he clenched his fist and said, "I won't lose!"
Lu Ye folded his arms and looked up at the sky.
After the World Championships Youth Cup, the United League's Higaki Conference will be held in two months.
By then, the family’s coffee shop will be officially open for business.
Xiaozhi will also encounter the "force majeure" God Kotetsu at the Higaki Conference.
Kotetsu isn't very strong, but because he's a comedic character, he's actually difficult to defeat.
"The value of the Higaki Conference is not high..."
Lu Ye thought:
"I'll go watch the battle against Ai Lan in the Miare Conference."
That evening, it was a cool summer night and white smoke rose from the marble terrace.
Lu Ye was wearing an apron and barbecuing in the open air.
The sizzling grilled meat was golden in color, the fat dripping into the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound, and it was sprinkled with cumin and chili powder. Xiaozhi and Alice were drooling.
The night wind brought the sound of waves from the coast, the stars twinkled under the night sky, and the sea was dark.
Lu Ye and others were watching the night view from the terrace of the sea view villa.
"Melo~" Meloetta floated in the air, her emerald hair like waves swaying in the wind. She closed her eyes, pressed her hands on her chest, and hummed an ancient ballad.
Shirona sat on a chair next to the white tablecloth, crossed her legs, gently stirred the straw in the glass of juice, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Everyone's mood calmed down, the waves sang in unison for Meloetta, and the sea surface shimmered with a faint blue light.
"According to Unova legend, that is the underwater temple guarded by Meloetta."
Sirona looked over and said with deep grey eyes: "In order to prevent Meloetta from falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives... her tribe has protected her for thousands of years."
Alice and Xiaozhi looked at Meloetta at the same time.
“It must be lonely.”
Lu Ye flipped the barbecue with a sizzling sound and said with his head down:
"As I watch the people around me grow old, the songs become older too."
The soft and beautiful singing floated on the wind, but Meloetta did not hear it.
Sirona was silent. Alice held her chin and said, "Human lifespan is nothing compared to that of a mythical Pokémon."
“That’s why.”
Lu Ye put the golden and fragrant barbecue on the white plate and said with a smile:
“Human beings are always eager to seize the day and pursue infinite things with limited time.”
"Okay, let's get started!"
The haze was swept away, Xiaozhi and Alice rushed to the dining table in joy, and Lu Ye and Sirona looked at each other.
"Do you want to take the child back to Miare City?" Sirona asked softly.
"I respect Meloetta's wishes." Lu Ye whispered, "It will be more lively if there are more Pokémon... It would be nice to have a resident singer in the coffee shop."
Sirona smiled slightly, rolled up her golden hair beside her ear, a faint blush rose on her snow-white cheeks, and smiled lightly:
“You’re a great teacher… and very handsome.”
"It would be better to remove the word 'out'." Lu Ye said.
Shirona pinched Lu Ye's waist, and Lu Ye hissed and held Shirona's hand.
Someone was setting off fireworks by the coast. Maybe it was the summer night again, and the "whoosh" fireworks were rising into the sky, illuminating the night sky.
Xiaozhi and Alice looked up at the same time, and Lu Ye and Sirona also looked at the night sky.
"Gah! (????)σ"
The Cong Youbing stroked his long pendant with care, secretly sighing that he had escaped the disaster by luck.
"Yoji... (?ω?)" Shakiras stared at the table full of delicious food and burst into tears.
I'm so hungry. I want to eat potato chips.
…
The day before leaving Ripple Town, an incident of some importance occurred.
At that time, Pokpi was lying on the sofa, playing games leisurely: "Chajiduyi~(ノ?▽?)ノ"
Suddenly there was a loud 'boom' outside, causing Togepi to jump up from the sofa and sit back down.
"Duyi?" Togepi blinked strangely, then happily picked up the game console again.
An outdoor battle field.
Crocodile is conducting a battle drill with Dragonite.
"roar!!"
Under adversity, the rogue crocodile was inspired by his senior "Sunglasses Arrow Turtle" who was watching the battle. He burst into endless fighting spirit, and his whole body glowed with bright white light and evolved into a rogue crocodile with red and black stripes!
At the same time, the ground under the feet of the rogue crocodile cracked, and it lifted up a huge rock and smashed it towards Dragonite!
Rotom's Pokédex was horrified:
"Wait, wait a minute, Loto! Σ(°△°|||)︴"
"This will attract the renovation team... Lololoto!" Rotom was so nervous that he stuttered.
Dragonite twisted its mouth and flapped its wings to avoid the attack.
The rocks fell to the ground with a loud bang and shattered!
The battle between Alice and Xiaozhi was forced to stop. She looked at the huge pit in the center with a frozen expression and swallowed nervously.
"Oh no..." Alice's face turned pale, "I'm in trouble."
"You've evolved, Crocodile." Xiaozhi, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, grinned and said, "Well done!"
"Stupid Xiaozhi, this is the mansion of the champion Zhulan. If you damage it, you have to pay compensation. At least, you have to..."
Alice counted on her fingers and said with a sad face, "I have to contact Grandpa Xia Ka."
"Oh, is it that serious?"
Xiaozhi scratched his head, and his expression changed slightly when he heard the number estimated by Alice.
"Oops, that's bad, Pikachu!"
"Pika...Σ(?Д?;)" Pikachu straightened his body and took a half step back nervously.
"Now is the time to apologize to Mr. Lu and Champion Zhulan. There is still room for redemption, Xiaozhi."
Alice realized that Xiaozhi was more to blame, and she covered her mouth and gloated.
Xiao Zhi was dejected and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go find Teacher Lu!"
Camera switch.
Meloetta floated in front of the giant pit curiously, looking around.
Lu Ye rubbed his brows and sighed as if he was used to it:
"Will you contact me, or should I go find Aunt Hanako myself?"
"I will contact my mother." Xiaozhi admitted his mistake with a good attitude.
The rogue crocodile stood against the wall, his forehead covered with cold sweat and his sunglasses sliding down to the tip of his nose.
Glancing at the still expressionless Blastoise, Rogue Crocodile swallowed.
I don’t know if I can handle it…
"What exactly happened?" Shirona asked softly, her hand on her chin.
After hearing the whole story, Lu Ye pondered and said:
"Is that so... Rogue Crocodile just evolved, so he can't control his power."
It seems that Xiaozhi's Unova ace Crocodile is beginning to show its power.
"It's understandable." Lu Ye said, "But you and Rogue Crocodile should seriously reflect on your actions."
Xiaozhi and Crocodile: o(╥﹏╥)o
Alice snickered with her eyes squinting, and was also called out by Teacher Lu, so she hung her head dejectedly.
"So we still have to hire someone to repair it..." Lu Ye touched his chin.
Sirona: "I have contacted Jerome and he will hire a professional team."
Professional... team
Lu Ye was stunned.
Less than half an hour after the incident, when we realized something was wrong, a box truck was already speeding from the end of the road.
The professional team braked slammingly in a cool manner, the familiar-looking driver got out of the car, closed the door, opened the trunk, and the aggressive brick-moving craftsmen came out one after another.
The visitor introduced himself: "I am from the Qinghaibo City Decoration Company in the United States. Nice to meet you all."
Lu Ye: "... You also have a relative in Miare City?"
The decoration team leader was stunned, then smiled calmly and said, "That's my second uncle, he used to be a tenor singer."
Lu Ye: "The one from Jinhuang City?"
"That's my uncle..."
The decoration team leader seemed to remember something, and moved his lips, but did not say anything. He carefully identified Lu Ye.
His attitude finally became respectful, and he shouted clearly:
"Teacher Lu!"
Lu Ye pursed his lips, unable to speak.
I know that this is the fifth new form that has been unlocked between me and the decoration company...
That evening.
Hanako contacted Mr. Lu and insisted on expressing her apology.
