Courtyard Renovation Plan

Chapter 16 Courtyard Renovation Plan

After explaining what happened to Growlithe, the two little ones officially became three.

It's strange to say there are three small ones, because the red Gyarados is too big, not small at all.

Before leaving the forest, Xia Mu thought it over again and again, and still used a wound spray to treat the big-billed finch a little to ensure that it would not really die.

This is also what Growlithe means; it wants to defeat Pidgeotto by itself next time.

Actually, although Finch is indeed very rude and holds grudges, isn't that just what a wild Pokémon is like?

If you threaten the other party, the other party can threaten you in the same way.

In nature, there are countless examples of people dying in the struggle for survival.

All I can say is that after this experience, the big-billed finches and the flock of finches should not bother to cause trouble again.

……

Returning to Round Island City from the depths of the forest, Natsuki once again rode a red Gyarados.

One thing to complain about is that Gyarados can indeed fly, but its speed is really not fast.

That speed was at most a little faster than Xia Mu riding a bicycle normally.

It could be because it has just evolved, or it could be because its current strength is still too weak.

In short, compared to bird Pokémon... no! They're simply incomparable.

Not to mention comparing it to Dragonite, which can circle the Earth once in 16 hours.

It was already 7 p.m. when I got home.

His parents had already gone home, but they weren't worried at all that he would get into trouble outside. On the contrary, they had already finished dinner and were enjoying some alone time in the living room.

Xia Mu's return disturbed the two's sweet moments of nurturing their relationship.

Neither Xia He nor Mu Xiuli asked Xia Mu why she came back so late, but Xia Mu still took the initiative to tell them about her experiences that day.

The main focus is on training Magikarp to evolve it.

Upon seeing the red Gyarados, Xia He and Mu Xiu were horrified, especially by its size, which was truly intimidating.

Unfortunately, although the house has a front yard and a back yard, it doesn't have a pond.

The lawn in the backyard is very large. It used to be where my parents raised Pokémon. After the Pokémon were given away, the lawn was abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

In order to prevent the red Gyarados from being confined to its Poké Ball in the future, and also for the sake of Xia Mu's future development, Xia He plans to send someone to clean up the backyard tomorrow and reuse it.

Not only should the fence be extended outwards to form a small farm, but a large pond should also be dug, along with an artificial waterway to bring water from the outside river into the pond.

Xia Mu was completely stunned.

This series of actions, not to mention the amount of manpower and resources consumed, is outrageous just because of the arbitrary disposal of the land.

This is in the city, not in the remote mountains or rural towns. Even the outskirts of the city belong to Yuandao City.

As expected, my dad is very capable.

Those assets on the surface are probably far from all there is.

The original owner of this body probably only had a superficial understanding of her parents and never really tried to understand them. In fact, it could be said that apart from what her parents showed on the surface, Xia Mu knew nothing about them.

Xia Mu was shocked, but since the old man had made such a boast, he hoped it would be true.

"Leave this to me. Don't you have important business to attend to tomorrow? Besides, such delicate work as tidying up the back garden is something only women can do." Mu Xiuli's words were loaded with meaning, and she took over the entire project in one go.

Upon hearing this, Xia He immediately burst into laughter: "That's true. I'm at ease leaving the family in your care. That way, I can take the early morning flight to Hoenn tomorrow without worry."

"Dad, are you going to the Hoenn region?" Natsuki asked, surprised.

Xia He nodded.

"Yes, we're going to Devon Corporation in Kanaz City to discuss maritime navigation. What? You want to go too?"

"No, no, I was just asking. I've never actually traveled outside the Kanto region."

Xia Mu shook his head slightly and chuckled awkwardly.

Natsuki knew a bit about Devon Corporation, after all, it was a very famous large company in the Hoenn region of the game.

In this real world, Devon Corporation is clearly not to be underestimated, and its business development in navigation is beyond Xia Mu's imagination.

If it weren't for the Mewtwo thing, he really would have liked to go and catch a few of the Pokémon he wanted.

At the very least, you need to capture one Gardevoir.

This is the wife/beast I've always dreamed of.

However, he can't go now. He has to arrive at Crimson Lotus Island eight days in advance and then set off from there to the new island.

If you go to the Hoenn region, you'll miss Mewtwo.

Whether or not we can subdue them, we should at least give it a try.

Xia He nodded: "Actually, I do hope you go out and see the world. Staying at home all the time means you know nothing about the outside world. By the way, your mother mentioned that we talked about the Quartz Conference yesterday. I checked the time, and there's still more than a month until the event. You can try to collect eight badges. If you don't have enough time, you can participate again next year."

Xia He's suggestion gave Xia Mu the perfect opportunity to go on a trip.

After all, he'll be going out soon and won't stay home all the time.

"I'll give it a try. Once Growlithe and Riolu have both evolved, that's when I'll go on my travels," Natsuki said.

Xia He and Mu Xiuli exchanged a glance, as if they had expected this.

"As long as you have your own plans, your parents will always be your support," Mu Xiuli said gently.

"This time I'm going to the Hoenn region. You can make a request, or tell me what kind of Pokémon you want, and Dad can bring it back for you as a gift for your trip."

"Also, this is the Pokédex I ordered for you a few days ago, it just arrived today. It contains information on thousands of Pokémon and has clear regional divisions."

"Kanto is very different from other regions. Pokémon from other regions have very little presence in Kanto. Take Riolu, for example. It is a Pokémon with a clear distribution in the Sinnoh region, but it is extremely rare in Kanto. So you can study it first, since the Pokémon in Hoenn are very different from those here."

Xia He's words excited Xia Mu.

Old Deng is really reliable.

First it was a shiny Magikarp, and now they're bringing him back a Pokémon.

"I actually know a bit about Hoenn Pokémon, so how about pseudo-legendary ones?" Natsuki joked casually.

This put Xia He in an awkward position.

"Ahem~ Ahem~ Son, we can't be too ambitious. Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are too rare. Your old man will only be there for a few days. Below pseudo-legendary, you can pick any Pokémon you want." Xia He coughed twice, pretending to be calm and composed.

"I heard that Hoenn has a most beautiful Pokémon, I think it's called Milotic..."

Xia Mu was interrupted by Xia He before he could finish speaking.

"Mildac is a very rare Pokémon, comparable in value to pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Son, it seems you really know a lot about the Pokémon in the Hoenn region, which is beyond your father's expectations. However, what use is such a pretty Water-type Pokémon to a grown man? Besides, you already have a red Gyarados, Milotic is superfluous."

"Then... how about we get something more ordinary?" Xia Mu asked hesitantly.

"Yes." Xia He nodded seriously.
