Chapter 48
Hoenn Dancer, got it!
Xia Mu could not bring herself to give away an elf after it had hatched.
therefore.
If the Ball Ball sea lion is male.
Then Xia Mu would rather change the reward now.
otherwise.
Xia Mu wouldn't accept it if the offspring hatched in the future and turned out to be male.
but.
In response to Xia Mu's concerns, Wanlong offered an explanation.
Do you know what "Almost-Size Doll" is?
"nonsense!"
Xia Mu rolled her eyes at Wanlong.
You know exactly where I used to live.
But then Xia Mu was taken aback.
"Could it be?"
"Yes, it's that 'Is it possible' of yours?"
Xia Mu knew.
Almost-Dollop is a Pokémon that can become Nurse Joy's assistant Pokémon.
One reason is that they are gentle and kind-hearted, and are able to learn most of the treatment skills.
On the other hand, it's because of their exceptional hearing.
Almost dolls have a keen sense of hearing.
It can detect even the slightest sound like radar, and can even hear the sound of a small stone rolling 2 kilometers away.
Furthermore, if you touch the other person with the antennae on your ears, you can understand their physical condition and emotions through their heartbeat, and even know when the Pokémon will hatch from its egg.
but.
What Xia Mu didn't know was...
With his exceptional hearing.
Some experienced Pokémon enthusiasts can even tell the gender and development of a Pokémon just by listening to its voice while it's still in its egg.
They are all highly skilled, roughly equivalent to head nurses among the dolls.
After learning these things...
Xia Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony! However..."
Xia Mu looked at Boss Ju.
"Now that we're all family, what about the living expenses for Qiuqiu the sea lion in the future...?"
???
Before Xia Mu could finish speaking, Ju Laoda's previously calm expression immediately changed.
"No? What do you mean we're family now?!"
"I knew Ziyu didn't come back last night! What the hell did you do?!"
Boss Ju grabbed Xia Mu by the collar, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
but.
Before Boss Ju could continue questioning them, Ziyu, her face flushed red, grabbed the two of them.
"You two!!"
You guys did this yesterday, and you still show up today?!
Especially when doing this in front of a girlfriend you've just met.
Ziyu almost burst out with shame.
Sensing the danger, Xia Mu instantly turned against them and stabbed Boss Ju in the back.
"No, I meant that the sea lions, Ball Ball and the others, are sisters, so we're relatives too!"
"It's all just Old Deng's overthinking; it has nothing to do with me!"
Xia Mu raised his hands to show his innocence.
"No, you..."
Ju Laoda looked at Xia Mu with disbelief.
Although I had already seen Natsuki's despicable side during yesterday's battle.
but.
Ju Laoda never expected this.
This guy is so shameless.
That's blatant lying.
"If you hadn't phrased it so ambiguously, how could I have misunderstood?!"
"Hmph! People with dirty hearts see everything as dirty!"
"You little brat..."
If it weren't for Ziyu in front of me, I'd probably curse you to death with all that Fanbashi slang!
But Ju's tolerance was seen by Xia Mu as a sign of guilt.
"Ha, you're in the wrong now, have nothing to say!"
Looking at Xia Mu's smug face, and then at his old father glaring angrily at Xia Mu.
"..."
Purple Taro remained silent for a moment.
No?
Wasn't I the one who just got angry?
Why are you two fighting again?!
This situation left Ziyu in a limbo, with extremely mixed feelings.
Let the anger subside.
If I don't get angry, I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage, a huge one!
At this time.
Where Ziyu couldn't see, Xia Mu and Ju Laoda exchanged a glance.
They both saw the relief in each other's eyes.
The two exchanged a smile, then, realizing what had happened, curled their lips in disdain.
......
In short.
Although Natsuki explained the misunderstanding between the two parties by mentioning the relationship between the sea lion and the ball.
He also avoided the anger of Ziyu by arguing with Ju Laoda.
but.
Kiku-sama's initial goodwill towards Natsuki, which had improved because of this battle, was immediately wiped out.
After all, this jerk reminded Ju Laoda of a future he didn't want to face.
and so.
After giving Natsuki the incubation device containing the Sea Lion egg and the Vibration Badge.
Kiku immediately kicked Natsuki out of the Fanba Dojo.
Ziyu was invited by Lao Deng to stay for dinner.
Then.
After leaving the gym, Wanlong, who was preparing to go to the Pokémon Center with Natsuki, also hurriedly left after receiving a phone call.
"I've sent you the instructions on how to raise the Clay Giant to your phone. We can contact each other online afterwards..."
Although Natsuki is always prone to anger.
However, Xia Mu also accumulated a lot of material for his novels.
and so.
Even though he was in a hurry to leave Fanba City, Wanlong did not forget to chat with Xia Mu online as promised.
After all.
Wanlong believed that although he was no match for Xia Mu in a real-life argument, he could win online...
I refuse to believe I can't win an argument with you!
So, in the end, at the entrance of the dojo, only Natsuki and Haruka remained, staring blankly at each other.
......
After returning to the Pokémon Center.
Xia Mu handed the Green Vine Snake to Miss Joey.
While Miss Joy treats him, she also conducts a thorough examination.
While waiting, Natsuki and Haruka sat facing each other.
"If we're talking about Pokémon musicals, the one in Raven City is definitely the most famous!"
Raven City is, after all, an entertainment city, with various amusement facilities such as the largest amusement park and the largest Ferris wheel.
It also boasts the largest stage theater in the entire United States.
Holding the new leaf cat, I looked at the incubation device on the table.
Natsuki made a recommendation for Haruka.
"Is that so...?"
Xiaoyao touched her chin, not in a hurry to make a decision.
"So what's next?"
Under Xiaoyao's curious gaze, Xia Mu revealed his next plan.
"My current plan is to start from Route 6, go through the Tourmaline Cave, and then reach Fuyuki City to challenge the Gym..."
Natsuki decides to continue along Route 6, challenging gyms along the way, and finally returning to Raven City via Dark City.
Xiaoyao nodded in agreement with Xia Mu's arrangement.
Then.
"A tourmaline cave~"
Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.
She had seen information about tourmaline caves online.
Unlike most caves.
The tourmaline cave is filled with electrically charged stones, so the cave is filled with electromagnetic waves, which cause the magnets to float in the air.
The cave, shimmering with starlight, is breathtakingly beautiful.
"I want to go too!"
Xiaoyao made up her mind.
Pokémon musicals are available all the time.
I'm not in a hurry to participate in the Grand Contest right now.
therefore.
Xiaoyao wants to travel with Xiamu for a while.
When Natsuki returns to Raven City, he can conveniently catch the Pokémon musical.
After Xiaoyao expressed her thoughts...
Xia Mu immediately clapped her hands enthusiastically.
"Welcome, welcome!"
Over such a long period of time.
The popularity of Hoenn Musume... is enough for her to completely exploit the situation!
