Chapter 902 The 1st Hot Spring Water Ball Battle!

Xia You and Xiao Zhi signed Miss Joy's photo album one by one.

Not only them, Miss Joy also set her sights on Xiaoyao, praising her performance in the grand celebration. She also let Xiaoyao see her photos in the album and asked Xiaoyao to sign her name as well.

It was only at this time that they discovered that Miss Joy was not only interested in Pokémon battles, but also in grand celebrations.

I can only say that this is really different from the Miss Joy I met before.

Seeing Miss Joy shaking hands with these three people in succession, Xiaogang's face flushed with excitement and he looked at her with anticipation.

However, Miss Joy seemed not to see him and her eyes just passed him by!

This was a heavy blow to Xiao Gang, but fortunately he knew that compared to the three people in front of him, he did not have any honors in the competition, so he was not discouraged. Instead, he turned passive into active, took a few steps forward, and held Miss Joy's soft hand.

"My name is Xiao Gang, and the reason I traveled to such a remote place is to meet you!"

here we go again……

Seeing that Xiaogang was the same as always, Xia You could only shake his head secretly.

It seems that the previous conversation between the two was in vain, Xiaogang has not changed at all.

Xiaogang had clearly said before that he wanted to be popular, but with such a lecherous way of chatting up girls, plus that expression, which normal girl could withstand it?

Just like now, Miss Joy was frightened by Xiaogang who suddenly acted like a pervert, her face full of surprise and helplessness.

Miss Joy is a fan of a celebrity, but Xiaogang wants to eat her directly!

Fortunately, Xiaosheng came to the rescue in time, grabbed Xiaogang's ear and pulled him away from there, which made Miss Joy breathe a sigh of relief.

This man is so scary!

Yashida was watching everything that was happening in front of him with a smile. After Xiaogang was taken away, he said to Xia You and Xiaozhi: "Mr. Kamishiro has been waiting for you for a long time. Not only him, but even I feel my blood boiling when I think about the battle you are about to start!"

Xiaozhi didn't know that Xia You was going to have a legendary Pokémon battle with Shendai, so when he heard what Yashida said, he thought he was looking forward to his battle with Shendai!

Hearing this, he said excitedly: "I can't wait to fight Mr. Kamishiro too! Is he in the pyramid now?"

"Well..." Yashida shook his head. "Mr. Kamishiro has been training in the nearby forest these days and is not in the pyramid now. However, he already knows that you have reached here, so he is rushing back. However, the earliest he can come back is tomorrow morning. In this case, we can only fight you at noon tomorrow."

"Huh? That's it..."

Hearing that he couldn't fight right away, Xiaozhi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Xia You looked up at the sky and saw that it was about to become dark, so he knew there was no need to rush.

"Then let's wait a little longer. We have been traveling for these days and are a little tired. We can take a break first and face tomorrow's battle with full energy."

"If you want to rest, then come with me!" Miss Joy said at this time, "My Pokémon Center is not far away. You can stay there tonight!"

I have to say, in a place like this, being able to find a Pokémon Center is like having half a home.

It is fully equipped with various facilities, including spacious and clean dormitories, 24-hour hot water, three free meals, a battle field and a Poké Ball transporter. It can be said that it makes people feel safer and more comfortable than staying in a hotel!

and……

At this point, Miss Joy added, "There's an open-air hot spring behind my Pokémon Center!"

"spa!?"

"marvelous!!"

Hearing the word "hot spring", the group now had even more reasons to go!

After temporarily bidding farewell to Yashida, the group, led by Miss Joy, left the Battle Pyramid, crossed a small forest, and came to a Pokémon Center not far away.

And when they got closer, they realized how beautiful this Pokémon Center and everything around it were.

Under the towering red mountain, a three-story Pokémon Center stands at the foot of the mountain. It has white walls and pink tiles with the Pokémon League logo printed on it. With a huge red windmill at the back and the green grassland around it, it looks like a fairy tale world!

It looks so clean and relaxing.

"What a beautiful place..." Seeing such a scenery, Xiaoyao immediately fell in love with this place and couldn't help but envy, "It must be nice to live here!"

"It's not a big deal." Miss Joy just shook her head. "If you stay here like me, looking at the same scenery every day, you will feel that this place is not as beautiful as the big city. Come in with me."

Perhaps there are very few trainers coming here to travel, making Miss Joy too lonely, or perhaps she knows that Xia You and the others are not simple people. Now that she sees so many people coming here together, she enthusiastically leads them to visit this Pokémon Center.

I have to say that compared to other Pokémon Centers in some big cities, the various facilities here are not only not inferior, but are even more advanced than some places.

Not only is there a fitness area, but there is also a stage for holding grand conferences. According to Miss Joy, many grand conferences have been held here in the past and it also enjoyed a brief period of glory.

But as to why they were not hosting the event now, Xia You and the others did not dare to ask more.

It must be too remote, so there are not many visitors.

Finally, accompanied by Miss Joy, they finally arrived at the open-air hot spring that they had been longing for.

At the foot of the mountain behind the Pokémon Center, there is a turquoise hot spring pool, which is divided into two areas for men and women by wooden fences. It is filled with semi-thick steam. I don’t know if it is a psychological effect, but just one look at it seems to make people feel relaxed.

"Then please enjoy yourselves!"

After Miss Joy left, several people couldn't wait to go to their dormitory, put their luggage in order, took a quick shower, and then entered the hot spring wrapped in bath towels.

It’s true, the moment they entered the hot spring, they felt so refreshed by soaking in the steaming hot water, as if all the fatigue from traveling in the past few days was swept away.

Of course, after his physique was enhanced by the Phoenix King, Xia You didn't actually feel that tired.

Leaning against the heated stones, he placed a towel over his eyes.

On the other side of the fence, the sound of someone entering water was heard. Obviously, Xiaoyao had also entered the hot spring.

For a moment, the surroundings were quiet. Everyone was lazy and didn't speak, all immersed in this comfortable feeling.

But after soaking for a while, Xiaozhi leaned back dejectedly and sighed.

"Alas, we have to fight Kamijiro tomorrow. Is it really okay for us to enjoy ourselves like this?"

Xiaosheng was about to push his glasses, but found that they were empty. Then he remembered that he had put his glasses in the bamboo basket in the locker room. But it didn't matter. He smiled at Xiaozhi like a mature and steady adult, "Travel when you should travel, and enjoy when you should enjoy. Xiaozhi, don't think so much. Besides, weren't you very confident about tomorrow's battle before? Why are you suddenly emotional now?"

Xiaozhi was about to say something when he suddenly felt something approaching him rapidly. When he turned around, he saw a yellow and blue water ball thrown towards him!

This water ball is not a water balloon, but a sports ball similar to a beach volleyball, which can be played in the water and has great buoyancy.

But for the Pallet Town Superman, this was not considered an attack force at all, and he caught the ball easily.

Confused, he looked up and saw that Xia You had actually stood in the hot spring without him even realizing it. Then he looked at his arm which had not been lowered yet. Needless to say, he must have been the one who threw the ball over.

"Brother Xia You, what are you doing?"

"I just found it in the locker room. Someone must have forgotten it here. Since it's a rare break, how about playing a hot spring water polo game?"

"Water polo?"

Xia You nodded: "Since you can't sit still, let's fight, so we can keep the fighting feeling!"

"I see..." Xiaozhi suddenly realized, and then a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If that's the case... then catch my powerful pitch!"

As he spoke, he threw the water ball back to Xia You with force. Although his action was a little unexpected, Xia You still caught it steadily.

"You bastard, you dare to attack me by surprise! Look at my invincible spinning vortex bomb!"

Xia You shouted and threw the water ball out. However, just as Xiaozhi aimed at the trajectory of the water ball and wanted to catch it, he found that the water ball turned in an arc and hit Xiaosheng's forehead accurately!

poof...

Xiaosheng fell straight down and fell into the hot spring.

But the next second, he suddenly jumped up from the hot spring, then raised the water ball high and threw it at Xia You.

"Mr. Xia You, take this lightning strike from me!!"

Xiaosheng threw the water ball with great force, but he forgot that he was in the water. At the moment he threw the ball, his foot slipped and he fell into the hot spring water again. The water ball happened to hit Xiaogang on the head.

Now, even Xiaogang joined in, and in a blink of an eye, four people of different ages were throwing toys at each other and having a lot of fun. In the quiet night, the entire Pokémon Center was echoed with their heartfelt laughter.

Just at this moment, Xiaozhi, who had just got the water ball from Xiaosheng's weak attack, shouted to Xiaoyao on the other side of the wooden fence.

"Xiaoyao, do you want to join us?"

"Idiot." Xiaoyao's voice came from the other side, "This is a separate bath for men and women, not a mixed bath, how can I go in!"

"What are you afraid of?" Xiaozhi didn't care. "There's no one else here except us. Why don't you just treat it as a mixed bath?"

"That's right, sister." Xiaosheng also said, "Didn't Miss Joey say before that usually there are few people coming here, especially so late at night, no one will see it!"

Xiaoyao was obviously persuaded, or rather, after hearing how they were playing, she also wanted to join in from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, then you all have to wear shorts!"

After hearing her say this, the two slow-witted boys belatedly realized that they needed to be careful when talking about boys and girls, and they couldn't help but secretly exclaimed that it was troublesome.

Seeing this, Xia You also said to the others: "Then let's all put on our swimming trunks and have a good game!"

His proposal was unanimously agreed by several people, and then they wrapped themselves in bath towels, went to their dormitory, put on a pair of swimming trunks, and returned to the hot spring again.

But a few minutes later, Xiaoyao also walked in wearing a two-piece swimsuit with a shy look on her face.

Although she knew that there was no one else in the entire Pokémon Center except them and Miss Joy, she still felt a little embarrassed to come here.

Not to mention, the swimsuit is pink and looks really cute on Xiaoyao.

Although Xiaoyao's skin is not that white, it is healthy and she has a good figure. Although Xia You has never seen other girls of this age wearing swimsuits, at least... it is better than Xiaoxia's.

Xiaoyao stood at the door and looked around, but her feet just couldn't take a step.

"Is this the men's bath? It feels... no different from where we are?"

"Okay, okay, come here quickly!"

Finally, under Xiaozhi's constant urging, Xiaoyao finally stepped into the men's bath, but for some reason, she just couldn't bear to look Xia You in the eye.

Fortunately, no one noticed her abnormality.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xiaosheng asked excitedly, "How should we compete next?"

Xia You smiled and said, "Of course we divide them into groups."

Xiaosheng looked around at the group and said, "But there are only five of us here. Doesn't that mean we need a two-person team and a three-person team?"

Xiaozhi laughed: "Stupid, have you forgotten about my Pikachu?"

"Pika!" Pikachu also jumped onto Xiaozhi's shoulder at the right time and called out to Xiaosheng.

"Very good, so now it's three against three. Let's do the palm and back of the hand. Those with the same movements will automatically form a group. If there are any extras, we can start over again."

The rest of the people naturally had no objections, so they formed a circle and stretched out their hands together.

After several decisions, the five people and one Pokémon were finally divided into two groups.

The first group consists of Xia You, Xiao Yao and Pikachu.

As for the second group, of course it’s the remaining Satoshi, Brock, and Kacchan!

After looking at the lineup twice, everyone was very satisfied.

Although Xia You is an adult and the oldest among the group, there is a girl named Xiaoyao in their group after all. Although they also have Pikachu, it was strictly forbidden to use any abilities before the game.

Although Satoshi's group also had a small victory, both Satoshi and Brock were tough men, not to mention that all three of them were boys, which made it seem that both sides had a chance of winning the game.

Using rock-paper-scissors, Xia You won the serve from Xiaozhi. Holding the water polo, Xia You smiled at the others and said, "Then, the first hot spring water polo competition will officially begin now!"
