Hoenn Dancer

Pokémon Center.

Xia Mu sat in front of the counter, his hands clasped together, lost in thought.

At this moment, he began to suspect that the feng shui of Fanba City clashed with his own.

otherwise.

Why are there no materials on the black market, and no materials at the gym?

Now, all Xia Mu has left is material for capturing poachers in the forest and for encountering and battling the Wyvern.

but.

The battle against the Winding Dragon was only a brief encounter.

It simply cannot be the theme of an issue.

As for Fanba Dojo.

That would be an even greater disaster.

If I upload the video I took today to the internet.

Xia Mu suspected that he was very likely to be beaten to death by the humiliated and indignant Zi Yu.

Just as Xia Mu was frowning and deep in thought.

What are we eating today?

"I don't know either!"

He watched as two trainers walked past him, chatting idly.

Xia Mu had a sudden inspiration.

"How about we do a food-themed special?!"

Xia Muyue thought about it and it seemed reasonable.

No matter what world you're in, the biggest problem humanity faces every day is—what to eat?!

and so.

Recipe tutorials, food reviews, restaurant reviews, food documentaries, and all sorts of other videos are popping up everywhere.

I could easily make a video about searching for delicious food in Fanba City.

Try some of the local specialties of Fanba City.

Explore the popular shops in Fanba City.

Adding the battle against the Wind Dragon, I can basically make another video.

"Damn, I'm a genius!"

Xia Mu suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.

but.

"What a pity, if we had toned it down back then, we'd still be getting treated to meals now..."

Xia Mu sighed.

Then.

She pulled up Shin-chan, who was sleeping on the counter, and summoned Snivy from its Poké Ball.

"Let's go, I'll take you out for a good meal today!"

"Meow!"

"Miyo!"

......

With excitement, the two little ones, Xia Mu, held a cat in her left hand and a snake in her right.

It drove recklessly on the main road.

"Go here, go here, and then here..."

Following the navigation on his phone, Natsuki wandered around Fanba City.

Feiyun Ice Cream is a specialty of Feiyun City.

A very generous and affordable lunch at Fanba Port.

Grilled crab claws.

And then there's the most famous Fanba biscuit.

It is made from flour ground from Want Want Valley, sweet and delicious, and kelp from the deep sea near Fanba City.

It is the most distinctive local product of Fanba.

and so.

Although Xia Mu and the two little ones were already stuffed, they still insisted on coming to this shop that Joey had strongly recommended.

"One serving each for Ah Miao, Ah Xun, Zi Yu, and Wan Long..."

Natsuki didn't even forget Old Man Kiku, or Officer Jenny and Joey from Fanba City.

Add to that the portion for the clay giant, Xia Mu, and the two little ones who were craving something sweet.

finally.

With the help of the vine snake, Natsuki carried ten boxes of cookies to the counter.

Thank you for your patronage!

Just as Xia Mu was about to return home with the two little ones, laden with their spoils...

"Huh?! That's all?!"

Looking at the pile of cookies in her hand that was taller than Shin-chan, Natsuki turned her head with a smug look on her face.

Get ready to see which unlucky person is next in line.

then.

"Emm..."

Xia Mu blinked.

The girl who looked so dejected looked very familiar.

She wore a red Pokémon headband, had brown bangs on both sides of her face, and had a curvaceous figure; she was dressed like a sporty girl.

As a long-time player who has been immersed in Emerald for many years.

Xia Mu immediately recognized the other person's identity.

"Are you Haruka?"

Xiaoyao turned her head when she heard her name called.

do not know.

stranger.

but.

After traveling for so many years, Xiaoyao has gotten used to being recognized by fans from time to time.

and so.

Xiaoyao nodded politely.

"Yes, I'm Haruka!"

"That Haruka who was called the Hoenn Dancer, and who was almost captured as a child because she was mistaken for a jellyfish?!"

"Yes, I'm that... oh?!"

Xiaoyao was stunned.

Then I immediately realized what was happening.

How could such a dark history from my childhood be revealed by a stranger?

Xiaoyao stared wide-eyed, her expression full of confusion.

How did you find out about this?!

Xia Mu touched his chin.

"To be honest, I've practically watched you grow up..."

after all.

Compared to the later TV versions.

In the Hoenn region, Natsuki didn't miss a single episode.

We also witnessed Xiaoyao's gradual growth.

But, in Xiaoyao's opinion...

This boy, who looks about the same age as me, is just talking nonsense.

They watched me grow up?

Then how come I don't know you?!

Did you watch it on TV?!

Unaware of Haruka's inner thoughts, Natsuki enthusiastically raised the cookie in his hand.

"Speaking of which, would you like to grab something to eat together?"

Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Xiaoyao, who had rushed here after disembarking at the port, simply couldn't refuse the invitation.

Seeing this, Xia Mu revealed a knowing look on his face.

He knew that a food lover like Xiaoyao would never be able to refuse such an invitation.

then.

Everything went exactly as Xia Mu had planned.

Led by Xia Mu, the two walked towards the park not far away.

Throughout the journey, Xia Mu's mind was filled with calculations.

Although Haruka is not well-known in the Unova region.

but.

In regions such as Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, and even Sinnoh.

Haruka is a regular participant in the Grand Contests, or rather, a frequent participant in the Grand Contests Festival Mikoli Cup.

She's still quite popular.

Anyway, it has to be better than Xia Mu Huo.

In short.

In a word.

You can mooch off them!

"Speaking of which, there aren't any Grand Festivals held in the Unova region, so what brings you here?"

"Haha~"

Xiaoyao gave an awkward laugh twice.

"On one hand, I want to see if I can meet a new partner in the Unova region, and on the other hand, I want to see the musicals here..."

Actually.

Xiaoyao has been feeling a bit lost lately, so she's preparing to learn by analogy.

First, let's check out the unique Pokémon musicals in the Unova region, and then we're planning to head to the Kalos region to watch the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament.

of course.

You can also try some local delicacies from other regions.

Hearing what Xiaoyao said, he felt that she might be hiding something.

But Xia Mu didn't care.

"That's great! As a native of Unova, it's my duty to do this!"

"Please don't hesitate to ask me to be your tour guide!"

Although Natsuki only had a superficial understanding of the real Unova region.

They might not even know as much as Haruka, a Hoennian.

But none of this stopped Xia Mu from boasting and exaggerating.

after all.

This is the perfect opportunity for me to break out of the Unova region and gain a lot of fans in other regions!

Xia Mu smiled exceptionally brightly.

He opened the biscuit in his hand without hesitation.

"Try these Fanba cookies, they're super delicious!"

Before Xiaoyao could refuse, Xia Mu stuffed the cookie into her mouth.

"Mmm~ Chew...so delicious!"

Xiaoyao covered her face and exclaimed in surprise.

The biscuit stuffed into my mouth had a crisp texture, and each chew produced a crisp "crunch" sound.

and.

It has a sweet taste with a hint of the salty aroma of the sea.

One bite and your mouth will water; you won't be able to stop.

One bite after another.

then.

Xiaoyao completely forgot about wanting to refuse Xia Mu and became immersed in the world of food.
