Chapter 26
Setting Off on the Journey
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Xia Mu and Zi Yu reunited.
The two prepared to leave Raven City by bicycle, crossing the Fanba Suspension Bridge and heading towards Fanba City.
and so.
Xia Mu specially spent a large sum of money to buy a bicycle with a basket.
Then the two little ones can take turns looking at the scenery from inside the bicycle basket.
It also prevents me from feeling lonely on my cycling trip.
Unlike Xia Mu, Zi Yu prioritizes comfort when buying bicycles.
So she bought a mountain bike with a built-in gearbox, a pink exterior, and a lightweight yet sturdy frame.
It can be said.
When the two were riding their bicycles on the road, most people assumed that Xia Mu was riding a women's bicycle.
of course.
These rumors have no effect on Xia Mu at all.
Except for one person.
"Hahaha, no, why would a grown man like you buy this kind of bicycle!"
Wearing sunglasses, Officer Jenny burst into laughter, her mockery scathing.
As Natsuki's greatest enemy (in her own opinion), Officer Jenny never even thinks about what to do if she is retaliated against in the future because she has been tricked by Natsuki so many times.
In short.
Let's have fun first and worry about the consequences later.
Under such circumstances, Officer Jenny appeared exceptionally arrogant, showing no restraint whatsoever as a law enforcement officer.
"hehe......"
Xia Mu sneered.
"You're still laughing here? Why don't you go to your house and see what your Growlithe is up to right now...?"
"Growlithe?"
Officer Jenny thought of her troublesome, silly dog.
His expression was one of shock.
"Did you lie to him again?!"
Officer Jenny glared at Natsuki and immediately turned on the accelerator.
Last time, under Natsuki's trick, Growlithe collected all the bottles nearby and brought them to her doorstep, intending to give them to Officer Jenny as food money.
As a result, because the stairwell was blocked by garbage, Officer Jenny had to apologize to everyone in the building while gradually throwing away all the garbage.
There was one more time.
To get revenge on Officer Jenny for stealing food, Natsuki framed herself and lied to Growlithe, saying that Officer Jenny was upset because her clothes were too small.
So, let Growlithe throw away all the scales and clothes in the house.
And this time...
"I lied to her!"
Despite Ziyu's curious gaze, Xia Mu still offered an explanation.
"This girl is always so one-dimensional; I wonder if her work is going smoothly..."
After a sigh, the two officially set off.
......
If the landmark of Flying Cloud City is its massive port and docks, then Raven City is its largest amusement park.
The landmark of Fanba City and the pride of its people is the Fanba Suspension Bridge, which connects Highway 5 and Fanba City.
A miracle spanning the sea, a red bridge...
Also known as the "Fire-Breathing Dragon Bridge," the Fanba Suspension Bridge, as its name suggests, can be retracted from the middle using a control device to allow large ships to pass through.
and.
Various flying-type Pokémon can often be seen hovering and landing above the bridge.
The dancing swans and ducklings unique to the Unova region often circle around it in groups and beg for food from passersby.
and so.
There are many stalls and vendors on both sides of the bridge, selling bread, fairy food, and souvenirs related to the dancing swans and baby ducks.
It's considered a very popular spot for taking photos online.
That's why Xia Mu and Zi Yu chose bicycles as their mode of transportation.
The two did not rush to Fanba City.
One reason is that Wanlong will be staying in Fanba City for a long time, and the other is that Natsuki wants to accumulate enough material.
Since the video of Raven Dojo was edited and sent, Xia Mu's account now has a total of 3 followers.
but.
This is also because Wanlong and Xiaojuer brought Xiamu popularity.
If Xia Mu cannot consistently produce high-quality videos, her current number of fans will further decline.
Even though it caused a lot of controversy online.
but.
Many people just come to join in the fun, watch the excitement, and then leave without paying attention or even leaving a comment.
and so.
To attract more viewers, Xia Mu even bought an action camera and wore it in front of him to shoot footage.
Highway 5 is located to the upper left of Raven City and leads directly to the Fanba Suspension Bridge.
Along this route, there is also a fairly large forest.
According to the sighting information in the phone's image database.
This forest is home to the adorable and incredibly popular Chinchilla and Foam Chinchilla family.
Because of their cleanliness, many people would like to tame a foam squirrel, as it not only provides a lot of emotional value but also keeps the house spotless.
The same applies to purple taro.
"I want to... capture one!"
Faced with Ziyu's bright, sparkling eyes, Xia Mu, who felt obligated to help, couldn't bring himself to refuse.
and.
According to the news report that Natsuki had seen before.
When most Pokémon that evolve using evolution stones live in large groups in a certain place.
This means that this place is very likely to have a vein of evolution stones needed for Pokémon to evolve.
It's an open-air one.
In other words.
"If we're lucky, we might even find a Light Stone to sell for money!"
Bubble Chipmunk evolves into Chimchar using a Light Stone.
Togekiss evolves into Togekiss using a Shiny Stone.
Roserade evolves into Roserade, and Flowerleaf evolves into Lady Florges.
Pokémon that require a Light Stone to evolve are generally popular species.
The Stone of Light has no trouble selling.
and.
According to the information Xia Mu learned from Zi Yu.
Near the port of Fanba City is Fanba Market, the largest market in Fanba City, where auctions are said to be held from time to time.
Perhaps, if we find a high-quality Light Stone, we can sell it for a high price at an auction.
Thinking about these things.
Xia Mu was instantly filled with fighting spirit.
"Yay, let's go treasure hunting!"
"Meow!"
"Miyo!"
Xia Mu took the lead, guiding the two little ones along the path into the forest.
Only left.
Ziyu, standing behind the group, looked dazed.
No?
Isn't it me who's supposed to be catching Pokémon?
Why do you all look so excited?!
"Wait for me!"
After locking his bicycle and Xia Mu's bicycle together, he marked their locations on the map on his phone.
Having made all the preparations, Ziyu immediately grabbed her small bag and hurried after Xia Mu.
The fresh air is invigorating.
The Four Seasons Deer, which happened to be running by the roadside, stopped and looked at Xia Mu and Zi Yu with curious eyes.
Sudden.
It was accompanied by a cry.
A pea pigeon flapped its wings and took flight, its two hands, with caps resembling Poké Ball patterns, spraying out toxic spores.
He angrily cursed at DouDouGe, who had defecated on his head.
"Beep, beep beep!"
Seeing that the mushroom had been exposed, he was very unhappy and cursed loudly.
As DouDouGe's figure disappeared into the distance, BaiLuQiuGu turned around, cursing, and then saw XiaMu and ZiYu looking like complete idiots.
"Bah! (Die!)"
"Meow!"
"Miyo!"
"Dororo!"
The exposed mushroom was instantly attacked by a concentrated barrage of fire from Newleaf Cat, Snivy, and Diglett.
