Fatigue is always there...

Chapter 78 Fatigue is always there...

After returning to the Pokémon Center, Natsuki walked through the hall and into the backyard.

"Little blacksmith!"

"Clang clang~"

Looking at the box in Xia Mu's hand, the little blacksmith who emerged from the Poké Ball had a gleam in his eyes.

Is this what it means?

The young blacksmith excitedly opened the box, held up the alloy block in his hand, and took a deep breath.

"Clang~"

The little hand touched the smooth surface of the alloy.

The young blacksmith could never have imagined that such perfect metal existed in the world.

clang!

"Whoo-hoo~"

clang!

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

Watching the young blacksmith tap the alloy, making a strange sound in response.

Xia Mu looked slightly disgusted.

What happened to such a cute little girl, how did she end up like this...?

but.

Xia Mu hadn't expected this.

After obtaining this alloy, the young blacksmith not only made strange noises, but also for a very long time.

clang!

clang!

As dusk fell, the alloy did not deform as quickly as the previous I-beams.

"As expected of the pinnacle of human technology, it's really durable."

Xia Mu was slightly surprised.

It's clear that the mountain of ore and the iron ants' massive steel mandibles were swept away in a very short time when we were in the iron ant nest.

It's just a piece of alloy weighing one pound.

Even after several tens of minutes of effort by the young blacksmith, it only deformed and shrank slightly.

However, while marveling at human technology, Xia Mu also had some worries.

Judging from the young blacksmith's current progress, it's likely that even by late at night, the alloy won't be fully integrated into the sledgehammer.

Especially after seeing that Xin Ye Miao, who was just quite interested, was now covering her ears in frustration.

At this moment, Xia Mu understood even more.

If this continues, I might get ganged up on and beaten up by the other trainers living in the Pokémon Center.

But the young blacksmith's current frenzied state doesn't seem like he can stop easily.

Just then.

"Natsuki~"

The gentle and natural Miss Joey walked slowly to Xia Mu's side.

"The night sky outside Snowflake City is so beautiful! Could you move out and stay somewhere else?"

"ah?!"

This abrupt change left Xia Mu completely stunned.

One second the night sky is beautiful, the next second it's telling me to get lost?!

After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Xia Mu looked at Qiao Yi in front of her and thought about her natural personality.

I can basically guess that the next direct statement is Joey's thought.

The excuse that the night sky was beautiful must have come from someone else.

Shift your gaze backward.

as predicted.

Several sneaky trainers appeared in Natsuki's line of sight.

next moment.

Those trainers who noticed Natsuki's gaze immediately lowered their heads and busied themselves with nothing to do, their acting skills being exceptionally poor.

"I see.:

Xia Mu touched his chin.

Although I had been thinking about going camping, since you guys have come to my door, I won't be polite.

Xia Mu chuckled twice and whispered to Miss Joey.

At this time.

Inside the Pokémon Center.

The trainers exchanged glances.

"Did he find out?!"

"I knew I shouldn't have sent Miss Joey; her natural personality would definitely have messed things up..."

"Then why didn't you go? Didn't you agree to it back then?"

"That's just a blacksmith's nature, and it's not that late yet. What would it look like if I went to ask him to leave?!"

This is the awkward part.

Since it wasn't too late, and they had just been singing in the room, playing around with their Pokémon, and even doing special training.

If it weren't for the tinker's excessively harsh and shrill sound of striking metal...

They won't find Miss Joey either.

At this time.

Miss Joy also walked up to the trainers.

"Natsuki said it's okay!"

Upon hearing Joy's answer, the trainers nearly jumped for joy.

"Very good!"

"I'm so upset, he's so understanding."

But before the group could continue celebrating, Miss Joey continued:

"However, Xia Mu said he had been out in the wind and sun for a long time to get to Xuehua City, and now he has to go out to stay. He not only has no money, but also no food, and no..."

One of the trainers waved his hand, interrupting Nurse Joy's recitation of the menu.

"He's so understanding, I can't be stingy. It's okay, I'll pay for everything!"

Count me in!

"Me too!!"

As the saying goes, a wise man deceives others with integrity.

Compared to humans like Natsuki, who are considered morally bankrupt in the Pokémon world, these trainers' considerate nature is so endearing.

Standing at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

Carrying large and small bags, Xia Mu looked at the wronged and kind-hearted people in front of her, her eyes filled with tears.

"You are the true trainers! Long live the spirit of trainers!"

"Xia Mu, you..."

Seeing that they had to leave the Pokémon Center because of them, Natsuki not only wasn't angry, but even praised them.

As these trainers waved goodbye to Natsuki, they were also filled with remorse.

"Sacrificing himself to save everyone, Xia Mu is such a good person!"

"Yes, I want to tip him for his video!"

"I'm going too!"

at the same time.

On the outskirts of Snowflake City.

A pretty young woman riding a three-wheeled motorcycle looked at the direction indicated on the GPS tracker and gazed in confusion at the distant mountains.

"What's this thing doing suddenly running into the forest?!"

The next day.

Xia Mu got up in the tent on the outskirts of Xuehua City.

"Clang clang!"

Watching the young blacksmith jump up from the ground as soon as he woke up, carrying the alloy and dragging the hammer, he ran outside.

Xia Mu sighed deeply.

Although I made a small profit last night and even saw the night sky over Snow City.

But then he thought about how the young blacksmith had been hammering away until late last night, which resulted in him dreaming of the clanging sounds.

Xia Mu immediately felt exhausted.

and.

He was startled awake by the clanging sound in his dream, and the first thing the young blacksmith did upon waking was to get busy again.

"ε=('。'*))) Sigh~"

Xia Mu sat in front of the tent with his knees drawn up to his chest, staring blankly at the faintly brightening sky in the distance.

"I wonder when Shin-chan and the others will arrive?"

Xia Mu waited for Xiao Yao and the other girls, Xin Ye Miao, to bring her food.

Last night, even someone as gentle as Miss Joey couldn't stand the noise and chased Natsuki away.

Not to mention Shin-chan, who has a keen sense of hearing.

Although the cat wanted to sleep in the park with Natsuki.

However, considering the potential impact of this noise on her hearing.

Xia Mu still refused the idea of ​​the two little ones camping together.

They even entrusted May with the temporary care of Claydol's Poké Ball.

I'm so hungry...

,

Just as Xia Mu was waiting to be fed.

At this moment, Haruka also woke up under the urging of Shin-chan and Aoandon.

I looked at the two energetic little ones with sleepy eyes.

Xiaoyao also sighed deeply.

Let's leave aside the Green Vine Snake for now.

Having traveled with Natsuki for so long, this was the first time Haruka had ever seen Shin-chan so energetic in the early morning.

Like Xia Mu, he's a heavy sleeper, and even needs Xia Mu to hold him while he sleeps after he gets up.

"You two seem to have a really good relationship~"

At this moment, Xiaoyao could only sigh at the depth of Xinye Miao's feelings for Xia Mu.

"Let me wash my face, then I'll buy breakfast..."

"

Before Xiaoyao could finish speaking, she saw two vine whips covered with things placed in front of her.

Mao coins, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bread, milk...

Xiaoyao: "...

In a short time.

Xiaoyao didn't know whether to praise Qing Teng Snake for his meticulous preparations or complain about the two little ones' relentless, urgency-driven attitude.

In short.

As the first rays of sunlight gently unveiled the veil of night and shone upon the doors of the Elf Center.

Xiaoyao also embarked on a feeding journey with the two little ones.

Not long after Xiaoyao and the others left.

A screeching sound accompanied the screeching of brakes.

A familiar three-wheeled motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

"Xia Mu, you actually..."

Thinking back to last night's adventures in the deep mountains, where I outwitted and battled the Dark Crows all night long.

At this moment, Officer Jenny, with dark circles under her eyes and dead wood and fallen leaves stuck in her hair, got off the motorcycle.

He was clutching the locator that was flashing red light.

Although she could not hide her exhaustion, her eyes were filled with a sharp killing intent.

"Joey, where's that bastard Natsuki?!"
