Chapter 806 Goodbye Lijia

After resting for a night at the Hualan Gym, Xia You and Xiao Yao said goodbye to Sakura, Xiaoxia and others early the next morning.

Looking at their friends standing opposite them, Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao felt reluctant and deeply moved.

"Xiaoxia..." Xiaoyao hesitated to speak.

"Cheer up." Xiaoxia seemed to have gotten over this hurdle in her heart. Even though she was very reluctant, she still smiled and said, "Next time we meet, you must become an excellent coordination trainer! And I will watch your games on TV, so don't lose to others again!"

Although she is a little sentimental, Xiaoyao is an optimistic person after all.

Hearing Xiaoxia's encouragement, Xiaoyao nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, I will definitely become a top coordination trainer!"

"Take care of yourself."

The two girls shook hands vigorously, and everything was said without words.

After saying goodbye to Xiaoyao, Xiaoxia turned her gaze to Xia You again. Just at this glance, she saw the face she liked and the gentle eyes looking at her. In an instant, Xiaoxia's psychological defenses were shaken and she almost shed tears.

Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, Xiaoxia took out something from her waist bag with slightly red eyes and handed it to Xia You.

"Brother Xia You..." She said in a trembling voice, "I can't continue traveling with you from now on. This is something I prepared before. I'm giving it to you now. I hope that when you see it in the future, you will think of me!"

Xia You looked down and found that it was a fishing bait in the shape of Xiaoxia!

It was strange, when did she do it? Why didn't I notice it before?

Moreover, in the anime, Misty once gave one of these things to Satoshi, but I didn't expect that she would give it to herself now!

But you know what, it's pretty cute.

But can you really catch any water Pokémon using this thing?

And not to mention the shape of this thing, whether it can catch Pokémon or not, but I... really have very little time to go fishing.

But no matter what, this was Xiaoxia's intention. Xia You solemnly took the bait in his hand and thanked her.

"Thank you then."

After nodding to the three sisters with the flower basket, Xia You finally waved to Xiaoxia and walked away with Xiaoyao.

Xiaoxia kept watching the two people leave until they disappeared from her sight, and she still didn't take her eyes off them.

Seeing this, Sakura, Iris, and Peony looked at each other, and finally Iris joked: "Don't look anymore, they have gone far away, no matter how much you look at them, they will not come back."

Originally, Acorus thought that after she finished speaking, Xiaoxia would refute her like she did before, but unexpectedly, Xiaoxia just wiped her eyes, turned around and gave her a bright smile.

"What are you talking about?" Xiaoxia smiled, "I'm just thinking about how to be a good gym leader next! I have decided that I want to make the Cerulean Gym the strongest gym in Kanto!!"

Hearing this, Sakura and the other two were stunned, then they all shook their heads and laughed.

"You kid... But it's good this way. With you here, we can concentrate on practicing our water ballet!"

"Yeah, finally someone can help us share some of the work!"

……

After leaving the Hualan Gym, Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, "Brother Xia You, where are we going next?"

She didn't feel anything when Xiaoxia was around, but when Xiaoxia left and she was alone with Brother Xia You, Xiaoyao only felt her heart beating faster and she felt a little nervous, not knowing how to face this man.

But fortunately, Xia You was the same as before, and was as gentle to her as ever. She smiled and said, "I originally wanted to go to Dr. Oak's research institute, but the plan changed. I have to go to Yuhong City first."

Xiaoyao naturally knew who was in Yuhong City.

After all, she had met Rika at the beginning of her journey to Hoenn, and she even had a very good impression of Rika.

Therefore, she naturally had no objection to Xia You going to Yuhong City.

And just as Xia You said, his original plan was to send Xiaoxia back to Cerulean City after challenging the Battle Dome, and then go to Yuhong City after returning from the Oak Research Institute. But unfortunately, after Shi Nan made his challenge to the Battle Dome known to everyone, he had to go to Yuhong to see Lika in advance.

It is conceivable that this will undoubtedly be another test of Xia You’s physical strength and energy.

If you want to reach Yuhong City from Hualan City, you have to pass through Jinhuang City. If you add the roads you have taken before, it just forms a "mouth" shape.

Although the journey was a bit long and back, they didn't waste much time because they went fast enough. In fact, when they talked to Xiaozhi on the phone last night, he had just returned to Pallet Town.

It seems that Xia You has obtained two symbols and is actually faster than Xiaozhi.

All I can say is that the town of Pallet Town is quite far away from where they first got off the boat.

When they passed by Jinhuang City, Xia You only met with Nazi once because he didn't want to delay the journey. After having lunch together, he hurriedly set off with Xiaoyao.

After all, the date of the gorgeous competition in Jinhuang City is getting closer and closer. If they don’t want to miss it, the two can only hurry up and travel.

Traveling alone with Xiaoyao was undoubtedly a bit boring at first.

Although Xiaoyao is friendly, optimistic and cute, she is not the talkative type, and the same is true for Xia You. This makes their first trip seem rather boring. However, this is only temporary. Once the two of them become really familiar with each other, they will naturally have endless topics to talk about.

All the way west.

Because most of the big cities in Kanto are concentrated in the central part, the ground here is relatively flat, there are no high mountains, only dense forests. When the two were tired, they would find a place to rest for a while, and then continue on their way after their strength was restored a little.

This also allowed Xiaoyao to see the unique scenery of the Kanto region.

But in general, whether it is Kanto, Johto or Hoenn, the styles are actually very similar and there are not many differences.

"Brother Xia You, will it be the same in the Sinnoh region?" Xiao Yao asked.

"In fact, no matter where you are, as long as there are big cities, they all look the same." Xia You looked up at the sky and said with emotion, "There are tall buildings everywhere, and people are busy walking around. Only those remote mountains, lakes, and holiday resorts can really make you feel the difference between regions."

Turning around, seeing Xiaoyao looking a little disappointed, Xia You quickly added another sentence.

"Of course, Sinnoh is a large island that is an independent continent after all, so there are still many unique landscapes and places worth visiting, such as Tianguan Mountain and the large and small lakes in Sinnoh are all very beautiful, especially the northern region covered with snow. Just one look will leave a deep impression on people."

As Xia You described, Xiaoyao couldn't help but imagine those scenes in her mind.

"It sounds really good. Unlike Hoenn, there are very few places where you can see snow." Speaking of this, Xiaoyao couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Xia You, you are amazing. You even know about the things in the Sinnoh region."

Waving his hands, Xia You shook his head: "I only saw it from the information, and seeing is not believing. Besides, I am just like you, I am also looking forward to setting foot on the land of Sinnoh!"

After this conversation, the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious. Xiaoyao seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and asked questions from time to time, and Xia You answered them one by one.

This reflects how broad Xia You's knowledge is.

In general, regardless of strength, Xiaoyao's knowledge is slowly growing because of this, which is also a completely different feeling she had when traveling with Xiaozhi.

……

The distance from Jinhuang City to Yuhong City is not too long, even shorter than the distance between Jinhuang and Hualan. This also allowed the two to see the outline of the city from afar before dark.

Of course, not nothing happened along the way.

Xia You also met several trainers on the side of the road who wanted to challenge him. It was not because anyone recognized him, but because they were both trainers and the thought subconsciously arose after their eyes met.

Under normal circumstances, he could still play with these people, but at this moment Xia You was in a hurry to travel, so he naturally rejected them all.

Once they entered Yuhong City, the two headed straight for the Yuhong Gym.

This time was different from meeting Nancy, because Lijia had already received the news in advance, so Xia You naturally could not create any surprises. Lijia had even contacted him several times along the way, constantly asking about his journey, and even prepared a sumptuous dinner, waiting for him in the gym!

Just like a virtuous wife, waiting for her husband to return.

When I came to Yuhong Gym again, it had become completely different.

I still remember that the reason why Lijia traveled with me was because of a fire that destroyed most of the gym. Now, after a long period of reconstruction, the gym has been completed and looks different.

If the address hadn’t changed, Xia You would have almost failed to recognize him!

If the previous Yuhong Gym was just like a stinky flower-shaped greenhouse, then the current one is like a huge venue that looks full of technology!

Both the scale and basic equipment have been completely upgraded after retaining the Queen of the Sky solar roof. It stands in the center of the city like a huge natural ecological museum!

Just by standing in front of the door, you can feel the shock it brings, and it even completely steals the limelight from the surrounding tall and prosperous commercial buildings!

When he arrived at the gate of Yuhong Gym, Xia You stopped for a long time, and then stepped into the gym with a nervous heart.

Fortunately, although the gym is still there, the staff inside has not changed, and they are still the same group of young and lovely young ladies.

The moment Xia You entered the gym's gate, he was recognized by these people, but they did not approach him immediately. Instead, they stood in the distance with gossip in their eyes and whispered excitedly about something.

They naturally knew exactly what kind of mentality their owner had when he returned from a trip.

They would never believe that there were no men.

Although Lijia wanted to hide it at first, how could she hide such a thing? Whether it was Xia You's Pokémon appearing in the gym, or Lijia watching Xia You's game and talking on the phone with him, they had already seen it clearly!

In addition, after learning that this man was coming today, Lijia was restless all day. Doesn't she know the truth?

But no one dared to break this window paper.

After all, although Lijia usually treats them well and is very approachable, she is the master of the gym and the owner of the perfume shop after all. There are some things that she just needs to know to herself and there is no need to spread them.

What's more, who is Xia You?

This is a man of the hour who holds three regional championships. Any news about him is explosive. How dare they say anything when it comes to this kind of thing?

It's just some private gossip.

But since Xia You has come to visit, someone has to receive him.

The oldest one walked out from among her sisters and looked at Xia You with a smile.

"What can I do for you?"

This is asking a question even though you already know the answer.

Seeing their half-smiles, Xia You shook her head and could only say, "I'm here to look for Li Jia. Is she here?"

"Of course I am. Please follow me."

Under the guidance of this young lady, Xia You and Xiao Yao entered the gym, passed through the huge greenhouse inside, and came to a Japanese-style room.

At this point, the young lady asked the two to wait for a moment and went into the room alone to report.

Looking at the young lady's departing back, Xiaoyao tilted his head.

Of course she knew about the relationship between Xia You and Li Jia, but she didn't understand why it was so troublesome.

Seeing her confusion, Xia You explained softly, "Yuhong City is different from other places. As you can see, not only is the gym built very grandly, but there are also many people coming in and out. When we are here, Lijia is first a gym owner, and then our friend. Before everything is made clear, we have to follow the gym's procedures."

Xiaoyao nodded in understanding.

Because she had not seen the scene where Nancy flew into Xia You's arms outside the Golden Gym before, she really thought it was just as Xia You said.

I also understand that adults sometimes have no control over some things, unlike children like her and Xiaozhi.

Just at this moment, the door of the Japanese-style room was opened.

Lijia, dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked out with a smile, accompanied by the young lady just now. When she saw Xia You, she bowed slightly.

Just like what Xia You said just now, no matter how they roll into the same bed in private, but in front of outsiders, before the relationship is made public, both Lijia and Xia You have to behave normally.

Of course, this also has something to do with Lijia's personality.

Even if she gets married with Xia You in the future, she will only be dignified and steady in front of outsiders. It is impossible for her to be like Nazi who doesn't care about other people's opinions.

"You came?"

Looking at Lijia's tender eyes, Xia You nodded.

"Well, I'm here to see you."

There is no need for a passionate kiss or a hug, just a look or a simple greeting can make people feel endless love flowing in their hearts.
