Chapter 750: Lukia: I am so lucky!

Furong still looked the same as before. After not seeing her for a few days, it seemed that there was no change.

"Furong, you scared me!"

Xiaoxia patted her chest with lingering fear, because they had experienced so many things together and traveled together for more than a day. Moreover, because she was frightened, she no longer needed to use honorifics when speaking to the Four Heavenly Kings. It seemed that they could get along like ordinary friends.

Rubbing her nose, Furong smiled proudly: "Hey, I'm like a ghost Pokémon, coming and going without a trace!"

Seeing that she showed up at this time, although Xia You was also surprised, he still took off the two bags behind him and returned them to her.

"Keep it well, and don't let anyone snatch it away again this time."

Taking the bag, Furong bowed solemnly to Xia You.

"Mr. Xia You, I have heard about this from Miss Lila. Thank you so much this time! Don't worry, I will keep them well this time. But I believe that without the ambitious guys like the Red Flame Pine and the Water Wutong, no one will covet them anymore!"

Xia You and Xiaoxia looked at each other.

Obviously, Furong didn't know that Scarlet Flame Pine and Water Sycamore were rescued by Necrozma. It seemed that Lila deliberately blocked the news and did not want to cause panic among people. Therefore, even the Four Heavenly Kings concealed the truth from her.

This is indeed the right thing to do, but there is no need to be overly cautious.

I believe that although Scarlet Flame Pine and Water Sycamore were taken away, given their situation, they obviously cannot act as they wish. As for whether Necrozma will help them to subdue Groudon and Kyogre, all we can say is that if that really happens, it will be useless no matter where the orbs are hidden.

But since Lila didn't say anything, they didn't tell Furong about it.

"How are your grandfather and grandmother?"

"It's settled." Furong smiled. "The Alliance helped me build another house at the original location. Although it's not completed yet, I believe it won't be long before they can return to their peaceful life."

Xia You nodded, and now everything here was over.

After that, they can continue their journey without distraction.

After chatting for a while, they declined Furong's offer to treat them to a meal and waved goodbye to her.

As she watched the two people walking away, Furong could only hold the two bags tightly and keep the gratitude in her heart.

……

Kaina City is where the grand Pokémon Contest celebrations are held in the Hoenn region.

Xia You and Xiao Xia were not unfamiliar with this kind of city. After all, they had been here before. Not only had they visited the Ocean Museum and met Xiao Shun, they had also witnessed Xiao Yao participating in the gorgeous competition for the first time.

This time I came back, I can really describe it as revisiting an old place.

After two days' journey, when the two arrived at this city, Xiaozhi and his friends had already been there for a long time. However, they did not live in the city, but had already moved into the contestants' village for the gorgeous competition celebration!

Just like the Pokémon Conference, the Pokémon League officials also attach great importance to the grand competition. Not only have they built a luxurious venue, but they also have a complete set of Pokémon Centers, dormitories, restaurants and training rooms to match it.

It is located right on the seashore of Kaina City and consists of two parts: the port and the competition area. The entire competition area looks like a pentagon, surrounded by high-rise buildings and open-air venues. In the center is a luxurious, also pentagonal battlefield!

However, although the functions are different, like the Pokémon Convention, it is also packed with a large number of spectators, which not only reflects how popular it is, but also shows what people’s expectations are for the gorgeous competition.

In terms of popularity, it is only second to the Pokémon Conference.

When Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao met each other in the athletes' village dormitory, they inevitably held hands and talked excitedly.

"Xiaoyao! I didn't expect you to actually do it!"

"Yeah, to be honest, I didn't expect that I could win five ribbon medals and even participate in the grand celebration of the gorgeous competition!"

"This is all the result of your hard work!"

This is the friendship between girls...

While the two little girls were talking, Xia You also looked at Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Zhi happened to look over at this moment.

Xia You was the first to smile and said, "Have you also collected all eight badges?"

"Of course!" Like Xiaoyao, Xiaozhi's eyes also gleamed with excitement, "I can't wait to attend the conference!"

"Yeah, the Caiyou Conference, I'm looking forward to it too."

At this moment, Xiaozhi seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly asked Xia You: "Brother Xia You, since you have also collected all the badges, can we act together in the next few days?"

"It should be OK if nothing unexpected happens. What's the matter?"

"Great!" Xiaozhi jumped up after hearing Xia You's answer, "Another delicious meal to eat!!!"

This guy……

Xia You thought he had something wrong, but it turned out to be this! ?

What a greedy guy.

Although it's a bit speechless, it also shows from the side that Xiaozhi really regards him as a close older brother.

If it were an ordinary person, even a familiar friend, Xiaozhi would never say that given his personality.

It seems that he regards himself not only as an opponent who needs to be pursued, but also as someone who can be relied on.

At this time, Xia You also met Xiaoyao's mother Mitsuko. Xia You was not surprised at her appearance. After all, for such a big event, how could a mother not go to the scene in person to cheer?

However, for Xiaoyao, it is a little regrettable that her father Qianli is busy at the dojo and can only cheer her on through TV at home.

Back to the topic.

Arriving at the dormitory with a very gorgeous architectural style, in Xiaoyao's dormitory, Xia You also learned about the schedule of this celebration.

It is divided into two stages: the preliminaries and the main competition. First, the preliminaries will be held tomorrow. On the Charm Stage, 247 coordination trainers will be selected from the 64 registered trainers to enter the main competition, and then the final winner will be determined from the main competition.

It sounds like a Pokémon convention.

Because the preliminaries were tomorrow, Xiaoyao was inevitably nervous. After they chatted for a while, at Xiaoxia's suggestion, except for Xia You, they all went to the nearby open-air training ground to do the final practice.

As for Xia You, he did not participate in it. After all, he was just watching the game as a spectator this time, so he had some free time.

Seeing Xiaoxia and the others leaving in a hurry, Xia You shook his head and took this opportunity to come to the snack street next to the stadium, intending to stroll around.

This is a rare experience. If he were to participate in the competition himself, he wouldn't be able to be as leisurely as he is now. He would probably have to prepare seriously like Xiaoyao, so he wouldn't have the time to sit here and relax.

No matter where the snack street is, it is actually all the same. They always sell the same things, but people are looking for the atmosphere. Amid the hustle and bustle, even some ordinary goods and snacks can arouse people's great interest at this moment.

Releasing Gardevoir, with its company, Xia You bought some of his favorite snacks, mixed in the crowd, and slowly moved forward along the flow of people.

To be honest, he hasn't been alone with Gardevoir for a long time. However, due to telepathy, they don't need too much communication to understand each other's mood. But despite this, it is still necessary to be alone from time to time.

Although Gardevoir can be encountered occasionally in Hoenn, it is obvious that Xia You's one is eye-catching enough in terms of temperament and body shape, which also makes passers-by nearby always look at it in admiration.

There were even some presumptuous people who came forward and hoped that Xia You could exchange this Gardevoir with him. In this regard, Xia You could only sigh that some people had no sense of boundaries and were indeed ungrateful.

Waving his hand to send him away, Xia You continued to move forward with Gardevoir. After walking another ten meters, he suddenly saw three familiar figures in front of him.

Even though they were disguised, he could still tell at a glance that they were Musashi, Kojiro and Meow Meow!

These three guys can be said to be inseparable from Xiaozhi, so it's not surprising that they're here. No one knows what they're doing at this moment, they're shouting and hawking, and a large group of people have gathered in front of them, as if they're doing some kind of promotion.

Xia You didn't bother to pay attention to them and was about to walk past them. However, perhaps they sensed something, the three members of Team Rocket suddenly felt something and looked over at the same time.

At just one glance, they saw Xia You, and even looked into his eyes!

It was obvious that they all shuddered collectively and froze there motionless in an instant.

Xia You withdrew his gaze from them and walked past the three people with Gardevoir. It looked very normal, but in such an atmosphere, every step Xia You took seemed to step directly on their hearts!

It was not until Xia You walked a long way and disappeared into the crowd that the three members of Team Rocket relaxed.

Musashi's back was soaked with sweat. She maintained her original movements and asked in a low voice: "He...he is gone, right?"

If they were to say who they were most afraid of in this world, it would only be the man just now!

"We should go." Kojiro let out a long breath, then glanced at Meow Meow, "Hey! Meow Meow, why are you still peeing?"

"It's Khan! It's Khan!!" Miaomiao wanted to give him a claw, but when she thought that Xia You hadn't gone far and would be back at any time, she didn't dare to make any move. She just said, "It was too dangerous just now. I didn't expect to meet him here!"

Musashi, who had come to his senses, was still frightened. "Yeah, I almost thought I was going to be killed by him. His aura was so terrifying..."

Only Kojiro hesitated for a moment, as if he saw through the essence of the matter, and said to the two of them: "Have you noticed? This is not the first time he has ignored us. He never seems to have taken the initiative to embarrass us."

Miaomiao tried: "Would it be better if you just ignored us?"

"It's because we pose no threat to him." Hearing this, Musashi was smart for once and said with a smug smile, "But it's okay this way, as long as we don't provoke him first, we will be safe! And we just need to keep our targets on Imp and Pikachu!"

"That's right!"

After laughing to each other, the trio quickly became heartless and put the encounter with Xia You behind them, and continued to busy themselves with their own things.

Coming out of the snack street, Xia You took out some small accessories he had found, found a bench, spread them out, and divided them into several portions.

Although he was just out for a stroll, he also had a purpose.

Since I've come to a place like this, of course I have to bring some gifts back.

Whether it's Nancy or Rika, or even Koharu who has been helping him take care of Pokémon, they all need to be thanked.

Just when he had divided the gifts and was about to find a courier to mail them out, a petite girl wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask walked in front of him.

"Hehe, it's you!"

Because of the mask, the girl's voice was a little distorted, but Xia You still felt familiar.

"Eh..." He looked up at the girl for a while, and finally recognized her by her hair color, body shape, and the short skirt that was a bit flashy and bold. "Rukia!? Why are you here?"

Needless to say, the person who came was the gorgeous contest idol girl I met in Liuli City - Liukia!

At this time, Lucia was dressed so tightly, as if she was afraid of being recognized by others. But in fact, the effect was not obvious. At least Xia You recognized her quickly.

Lukia took off her mask and gave Xia You a big smile.

"I was invited here because of the celebration. I was bored in my room, so I thought of going out for a walk in disguise. I didn't expect to see you. I'm so lucky!"

At this point, she looked left and right, and when she saw that Xiaoxia was nowhere to be seen, she asked, "Mr. Xia You, where is the girl you were with? Why can't I see her?"

Knowing that the two of them didn't get along, Xia You shook her head: "She is with her friends, doing the final practice at the training ground over there."

Hearing this, Lucia smiled even brighter, and even boldly put her arm around Xia You, smiling sweetly, "Great! In that case, let me accompany you for a good stroll!"

Feeling two soft lumps, Xia You wanted to pull his arms free, but Lukia was holding him too tightly, making it impossible for him to do so.

Helplessly, he could only let Lukia hold him like this.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel lucky that Xiaoxia was not here. If she had seen this scene, I don't know how long I would have argued with her.

"I'm sorry you're late. I just finished shopping and was about to go back to rest."

His original intention was to refuse, but Lucia didn't care at all. She said smoothly: "Okay, I've been out for a long time and I'm a little tired. Let's go back to the dormitory together!"
