Chapter 805 Xiaoyao joins the team

Xia You and the other two waited in the lounge for more than an hour.

During this period, neither Shi Nan nor the staff here showed up, as if they had been forgotten. Until Xiaoxia became a little impatient, the door of the lounge was opened. The staff member who had helped them register walked up to him with a golden badge in his hand and an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Xia You. This is the tactical symbol of our battle against the dome. I'm handing it over to you now."

To be honest, the person who came to deliver the medal was not Shi Nan, but just a staff member, which did not surprise Xia You at all.

If I were beaten like this, I would probably not be able to face my opponent, not to mention that Shi Nan had to deal with such a serious public relations crisis.

Xia You didn't say anything and took it. Xiaoxia was obviously unwilling to let Shi Nan go. She said mockingly, "We have been traveling for so long, but this is the first time we have encountered a situation where the medal was not given by the owner of the museum. It seems that Mr. Shi Nan must be very busy at the moment."

Xiaoxia's sarcastic remark was like pouring salt on Shi Nan's wounds.

But fortunately, Shi Nan himself was not here. Although the staff was embarrassed, they did not tell Shi Nan about this and make things more difficult for him.

"Miss, you are joking." The staff member smiled stiffly, "This is not a Pokémon gym, so the rules are slightly different. It's getting late, so I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiaoxia to say anything else, he simply closed the door and left as if escaping.

The moment the door was closed, Xiaoxia burst into laughter.

"Serves you right!" She snorted. "Want to use Brother Xia You? This is what happens! Let's see if he still has the nerve to continue being the pioneering brain!"

Hearing her words, Xiaoyao scratched his cheek with his fingers.

Although she also felt that Shi Nan was being too much, her personality was not as violent as Xiao Xia's. She felt that the matter could end here and there was no need to fuss about it anymore.

At this time, Xia You also looked down at the tactical symbol.

After all, he had spent a lot of effort to obtain this, and it was the proof that he had defeated Heather, so naturally he had to look at it carefully.

But to be honest, this badge is no different except for the 'H'-shaped letter on it. But it seems to be made of pure gold. I can only say that it is worthy of being the Battle Dome and worthy of being the face-saving Heather. Just like this facility, it is really rich!

Since their goal had been achieved, the three of them packed their bags and left.

To them, this was just an insignificant little story during their journey and was not worth taking seriously at all.

After leaving this area, the three of them walked westward along the road and arrived in Hualan City that evening.

Even though she didn't want to face it, Xiaoxia didn't say much when she really stepped into this city.

Now that they were back home, there was naturally no reason to stay in the Pokémon Center anymore, so under the leadership of Misty, the three of them headed straight for the Cerulean Gym.

The Hualan Gym was just like the last time Xia You came, especially the huge photo of the white sea lion, which was still so familiar. However, perhaps due to years of disrepair, there were some damages on the outer walls and the roof, making the whole gym look a little shabby.

And to be honest, after taking a walk around, I found that compared to other gyms, the Hualan Gym is a little smaller and more outdated.

It seems that after Xiaoxia takes over, the first thing she will do is to rebuild the entire gym.

To Xiaoyao, everything here was so new. She looked around and said to Xiaoxia excitedly, "Is this your home? Wow, what a beautiful gym. It looks like an oceanarium! Will there be any performances inside?"

Xiaoxia:......

Just one sentence made Xiaoxia speechless.

Of course, she didn't blame Xiaoyao for saying the wrong thing. She could only blame her three sisters for ruining the gym into this state, making people who came here for the first time think it was an amusement park!

And what she couldn't stand the most was that there has always been a saying in Kanto, that is - the Cerulean Gym is the weakest of all the official gyms!

She wanted to refute more than once, but when she thought of the strength of her three sisters, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Don't say anything, just come in with me..."

Following Xiaoxia, Xia You and Xiaoyao walked into the Hualan Gym.

Maybe it was because it was about to get dark, but there were no challengers in the Hualan Gym at this moment, and naturally there were no audiences coming to watch the underwater ballet performance. The huge gym seemed both empty and deserted.

"Sister! I'm back!"

As soon as she entered the door, Xiaoxia shouted loudly, but when no one answered, she took Xia You and the other person and walked deeper into the gym.

For Xia You, revisiting the old place reminded him of the first time he came here to challenge, and the second time he came here to help with the performance.

Time flies by so fast, it seems like it just happened a few days ago...

When thinking of the performance, Xia You subconsciously recalled the kiss she had with Xiaoxia's second sister Changpu during the performance.

The three of them kept walking until they were near the pool, then they heard a sound. When they got to the pool, they saw the three sisters Sakura, Acorus, and Peony practicing there, surrounded by many Pokémon.

I have to say, no matter how talented these three sisters are, there is a reason why they are called the 'Three Beautiful Sisters of Hua Lan' and are so popular. Not only are they beautiful and have good figures, but their strong and smooth long legs are particularly eye-catching. Basically, most of the people who come here to watch the performance are attracted by their beauty!

Although they are not very attentive to the affairs of the gym, their passion for water ballet is unquestionable. After the performance every day, they will practice until very late like they do now.

“It’s still the same old thing.”

Seeing her three sisters training so selflessly, Xiaoxia relaxed her hands, sighed helplessly, and then coughed lightly.

"Cough cough."

Hearing her voice, Sakura, Acorus, and Peony turned around at the same time, and when they saw it was Xiaoxia, they all cried out in surprise.

"Xiaoxia!"

"Kasumi!"

"Stinky girl, you finally came back!"

Even though they said they disliked each other, as sisters, how could they not miss each other after being apart for so long?

But apparently this longing only lasted for less than a minute. When the joy after meeting faded away, Acorus and Peony immediately started to criticize Xiaoxia.

"You little bastard! You were out for so long this time! We have to run the gym and perform at the same time. Do you know how tiring it is?"

"That's right! You can't leave this time no matter what!"

The smile on Xiaoxia's face froze. She didn't expect that her second and third sisters' attitudes would change so quickly.

Only the eldest sister Yinghua noticed that there were outsiders present. She smiled at Xia You and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia You. I really trouble you this time."

It seemed that Acorus and Sakura only saw Xia You at this time. They jumped out of the water like two mermaids, then went ashore and came to Xia You's side.

Mudan's eyes were full of gossip, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Nothing happened to you on the way, right?"

Acorus also nudged Xia You with his elbow, with a teasing look on his face: "Did she do anything improper to you?"

"That's enough!" Xiaoxia felt shy and embarrassed, and couldn't help shouting, "What are you talking about? How could I do that?!"

Although Xiaoyao had heard about Xiaoxia's three sisters before, it was not until she met them and saw them in person that she truly understood how passionate and bold they were.

Is this Xiaoxia’s sister?

In comparison, I was still too gentle towards Xiaosheng!

Perhaps because she didn't want her sisters to say any more nonsense in front of Xia You and Xiao Yao, Xiao Xia quickly pulled Xiao Yao to her side and introduced them to everyone.

"This is my friend Xiaoyao who I brought back from Hoenn. Xiaoyao, these three are my sisters. First, the one with long yellow hair and looks very gentle, is my eldest sister Sakura."

Sakura smiled gently at Xiaoyao and said, "Welcome to Kanto. I'm sorry to have troubled you along the way."

"No, you are too polite."

Xiaoyao quickly returned the greeting. Compared to her other two sisters, Sakura was obviously more dignified and gentle. She gave her the feeling of a mature and steady older sister who knew how to take care of people.

Xiaoxia pointed at Acorus again: "This is my second sister Acorus. Although she is very beautiful, she often bullies me and is quite willful. You should be careful with her."

"Really?" Acorus put her hands on her waist, "Who would say that about their sister?"

After that, she changed her expression and said to Xiaoyao with a smile: "Welcome to our Hualan Gym~"

"Ah...thank you." Xiaoyao didn't know what to say.

Finally, Xiaoxia pointed to the last one, Mudan: "This is my third sister Mudan. Although she looks very sweet and like a princess, she actually likes to snatch things from me the most!"

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Mudan said to Xiaoyao with a smile on her face, "She couldn't take care of the things herself. I just put them away for her."

After the few people greeted each other, Xiaoxia kept shouting that she was hungry. There was no choice but for Sakura to let Acorus and Peony entertain Xia You and Xiaoyao while she went to prepare dinner.

Perhaps it was because she had really returned to her home that made her feel more relaxed than ever before. Xia You even heard a hint of coquettishness in Xiaoxia's tone.

Sure enough, even though she said she disliked them, she still loved her family...

It didn't take long before dinner was ready. Everyone sat around the table eating, and Xiaoxia talked with great interest, recounting everything she had seen and heard along the way.

From her words, you can feel that she is really excited, the kind of excitement from the inside out, wanting to share the joy with her family.

After hearing about her experiences, Yinghua looked at Xia You and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you for your hard work along the way."

"No, no." Xia You waved her hand. "Actually, I should be the one saying thank you. It was actually Xiaoxia who spent a lot of time taking care of me during this trip to Hoenn. If it weren't for her, my trip wouldn't have been so smooth."

Although she knew that Xia You was just being polite, Xiaoxia's eyes were still filled with tears and she felt deeply moved.

Brother Xia You...

……

In the evening, after taking a comfortable hot bath, Xia You was about to go to bed when his phone rang.

Knowing that at this time, there would only be one person who could come to see her, Xia You closed her pajamas, got up and opened the door.

Xiaoxia was indeed standing outside the door, but what surprised Xia You was that besides her, there was also Xiaoyao!

Why did they come together?

If Xiaoxia came alone, Xia You could still understand it. After all, she had already returned to the Hualan Gym, and they would be separated tomorrow. It was normal for her to come to him and tell him something from her heart.

But what about Xiaoyao?

Did you meet him outside the door?

Or did you come here specially?

Xia You was just wondering, but Xiaoxia was not polite at all and walked in with Xiaoyao.

But compared to Xiaoxia, Xiaoyao's face seemed a little red for some reason.

"Why are you two here?"

Xiaoxia walked to the bed and sat down on it. Without saying anything, she looked at Xiaoyao first.

Xiaoyao's face turned even redder, and she seemed to want to say something but hesitated. She opened her mouth twice but said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Xiaoxia sighed and then looked at Xia You.

“Forget it, let me tell you, Brother Xia You, Xiaoyao wants to travel with you in the next area!”

"what?"

Hearing this, Xia You raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Thanks to Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao's words and their confidentiality measures, to be honest, Xia You just thought that Xiaoyao came to Guandu with Xiaoxia for a casual stroll, but why did she suddenly ask to travel with her?

He looked at Xiaoyao, but Xiaoyao didn't dare to look at him at all. She just lowered her head and nodded silently.

"This..." Xia You asked, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

After all, in Xia You's memory, after the Caiyou Conference ended, Xiaoyao should have gone to Johto alone to participate in the grand conference there. But now, not only has she come to Kanto with Xiaoxia, but she is also traveling with him. How can he not be surprised?

"What's so strange about this?" Xiaoxia smiled, "Xiaoyao has embarked on the path of a coordination trainer, so naturally she needs to travel around to become stronger and challenge the gorgeous competitions in various places. And what can be more effective than following a champion to grow?"

This is indeed the truth, but how to put it...

There was clearly no foreshadowing beforehand, and now the two of them went straight to their room and asked to travel together. It was really too sudden.

There was really no preparation at all beforehand.

But then again, Xia You had no reason to refuse.

After all, for him, after Xiaoxia left the team, he had to travel alone to the next area, which was indeed a bit lonely, and Xiaoyao's joining could just make up for this.

He looked at Xiaoyao again and saw that Xiaoyao was also looking at him at this time. Their eyes met, and Xia You also saw the determination in her eyes.

"Okay." He smiled gently and nodded, "Then welcome Xiaoyao to officially join my team!"
