Chapter 973 Baiyang Town

"fine."

"I'm fine too!"

Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were at the very outside of the hanging basket and were badly knocked unconscious just now. However, both of them were strong men and did not take such minor scratches or bumps seriously at all. When they heard Alice's question, they looked even more indifferent.

On the side, Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang also let go of Xia You's hand at this time.

Xiaoyao didn't feel anything. After all, she was already used to this kind of physical contact with Xia You. Even this kind of simple contact was no longer strange to her. But it was the first time for Xiaoguang to hug a man's arm so tightly, let alone a handsome adult man!

Even though she had no choice, her ears were still a little red and her heart was pounding. Fortunately, no one noticed her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

The only one who felt uncomfortable was Xia You.

You know what, Ya Mi’s grip was really strong just now!

It doesn't hurt, but it's not appropriate to face these people right now...

He coughed lightly and turned half sideways to avoid others noticing his abnormality. In order to divert attention, he couldn't help but ask Alice, "What was that just now? It didn't feel like wind, but more like... a diffusion of energy."

As expected of a man who has won three regional championships, he is different from others. Although everyone is in a panic, he is still keenly aware that the thing that caused the vibration just now is definitely not a strong wind!

Hearing what he said, Alice nodded and said, "It really doesn't look like air currents. Speaking of which... it's been a bit strange around here lately. I can always feel this kind of shaking in the air. I'm sorry... I scared you guys."

"It's okay!" Xiao Gang smiled cheerfully, "It's not Miss Alice's fault, why are you apologizing?"

This guy is really lustful. After being humiliated by Yami just now and realizing that Yami is not someone he can deal with, he actually turned around and showed his affection to Alice. The transition between the two is so natural and smooth.

But in essence, Xiaogang and Xia You are actually the same, both are fickle and affectionate, but... Xia You is just a little more advanced than him.

All men are like this, no one should laugh at anyone else.

This is also why Xia You never looked down on Xiao Gang!

“That’s true…” Alice smiled apologetically, “But after all, this happened in my balloon. So, as an apology, I will take you on a tour of this town!”

"Great! I'll leave it to you then!"

Xiaozhi was naturally excited. After all, he had never imagined that Alice would not only be so kind as to bring them to this town in a hot air balloon, but would also take them on a tour. He was so lucky to meet such a kind person!

Under Alice's control, the hot air balloon floated across the square and the Tower of Time and Space, and passed through most of the city, and landed at the hot air balloon's exclusive docking location. After the few people got off the hot air balloon and Alice dealt with the docking problem of the hot air balloon, they actually set foot in the Baiyang Town.

However, although it is called a town, its size is similar to that of a small city.

Judging from the architectural style, this place is very similar to Barcelona, ​​Spain, where Xia You is located. Of course, this is not something he said casually. In fact, not only the buildings here are similar, but even the Tower of Time and Space is very similar to the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Even the equally famous Pokémon Garden here is very similar to the Park Güell in Barcelona.

Walking on the street and looking up, you can see that the flower beds on both sides of the street are planted with colorful flowers. Even the windows of the houses facing the street are filled with fresh flowers, making the town full of fragrance.

In addition to the residents of the town, there were also a large number of tourists gathered everywhere. Some of these people, like Xia You and his friends, were sightseeing everywhere, while some restless children had already started a Pokémon battle on the streets.

This also made Xiaozhi very excited.

Fortunately, he also knew that the purpose of several people was to finish visiting here first, so he suppressed the impulse in his heart and followed the team obediently, just looking here and there with curious eyes.

When they passed by a stall selling cotton candy, Alice paid for each person to have a portion of cotton candy out of her own pocket. Although the money spent was not much, Alice's actions of taking them to ride a hot air balloon and treating them to food still made Xia You feel a little embarrassed.

After all, he doesn't like to owe favors to others. Even if it's a small favor, he must find a way to make it up to him.

He turned his eyes and saw a more upscale restaurant in front of him. He already had an idea in his mind.

After all, if you give her something in return, Alice probably won't accept it, but if you just invite her to lunch, she probably won't refuse.

Thinking of this, Xia You expressed her thoughts: "Ms. Alice, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get here until dark. To express our gratitude, please allow us to treat you to lunch."

"Yes, that's right!" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and he said to Alice, "Let us treat you to a meal, hehe, even though Brother Xia You is paying for it!"

“No, no.” Alice waved her hands quickly. “I appreciate your kindness, but it’s just a small favor. Treating you to a meal is still a bit…”

Before she could finish her words, she finally agreed after being persuaded by Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang.

There's no way, I really can't refuse your kindness!

This is the advantage of having a lot of people. Everyone can contribute something, and just a few words can change a person's mind.

But before that, Alice suggested taking them around the entire town first.

This was unanimously agreed by several people. After all, it was not yet lunch time and no one was very hungry. The most important thing was to take advantage of the freshness and walk around the town.

Led by Alice, they crossed most of the town and headed towards the Tower of Time and Space again.

While passing by a street, Xiaozhi was playing with Pikachu and didn't pay attention to what was ahead. He bumped into a Stoat, and met the Stoat's trainer, and then saw the trainer's other two companions.

This is a group of two men and one woman, all of whom look adults. The trainer of the Tutai Turtle looks about the same age as Xia You, wearing a white casual jacket and gray trousers. His other two companions are a rough man with strange hair and a shaggy beard, and a woman with a red head, red hair, and long red stockings.

It seemed that these three people were also here for tourism. However, no matter how big the age difference was, when their eyes met and they realized that the other person was unusual, there was no need to say much. A three-on-three street fight began.

Xiaozhi was the first to bear the brunt and went directly against the turtle trainer, Xiaoguang also faced the rough man, and finally the red-haired woman took the initiative to find Xia You, but after Xia You waved her hand to refuse, she ignored Xiaogang with hearts in his eyes and set her sights on Xiaoyao.

Xia You, Ya Mi, and Alice found a bench and sat down to watch the fight between them.

To be honest, if it were any other time, Xia You would not refuse such a challenge, but since there were too many people on his side, he still gave up the opportunity. Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to see how Xiaozhi had grown.

As the rival with the greatest potential in Xia You's mind, just as Xiaozhi aims to surpass him, Xia You will also keep an eye on Xiaozhi's growth at all times to keep abreast of the situation.

After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you always maintain your advantage!

He didn't want to wait until one day, when he suddenly found out that Xiaozhi had given him a big 'surprise'!

Facing this Squirtle, Ash sent out Pikachu as expected. It must be said that fighting against opponents with adverse attributes has become Ash's tradition and subconscious strategy. If he encounters a new opponent, he seems to feel uncomfortable if he doesn't do this.

Looking at Xiaoguang again, this time she sent out her initial Pokémon, Pogamon, but what she didn't expect was that the rough man opposite actually sent out the final evolution of Pogamon - Emperor Naboo!

Although neither of them had seen the other's lineup before the battle, this choice could only be described as a coincidence.

And when the woman sent out her own Flame Monkey, Xia You completely understood what was going on.

It turns out that the three people sent out were all the three great families from the Sinnoh region!

No wonder these three can form a team!

Facing the red-haired woman's Infernape, Xiaoyao happened to take out the recently evolved Stottle to fight. This was the only battle among the three in which he had an attribute advantage.

The battle started immediately. Xia You sat aside and watched the show. As his eyes turned, he also noticed the performance of several people.

All I can say is that although Pikachu's performance was up and down, it was still relatively stable in the battle against adverse attributes. However, the Squirtle that fought against it was also very strong. The two Pokémon fought for a long time, but there was no winner.

After watching for a while, Xia You understood Pikachu's performance clearly, then he turned his eyes away from it and looked at the battlefield in the middle.

Here is Hikaru fighting the rugged man.

Although Pogaman is the original form of Emperor Nabo, under Xiaoguang's command, Pogaman also performed very well. With his exquisite moves, he fought against the third form of Emperor Nabo. Not only did he fight them to a draw, but he also made the biggest noise among the three!

From this point of view, Xiaoguang is indeed very strong!

This girl's fighting talent is even better than Xiaoyao's!

Even most of the passers-by were attracted by these two Pokémon.

Finally, Xia You's gaze fixed on Xiaoyao.

Maybe it was because she was the weakest among the three trainers, or because Stotle had superior attributes, or because Xiaoyao had become extraordinary. In short, the red-haired female trainer was at a disadvantage from the beginning of the battle. If her Infernape was not in the third stage of evolution and her physical fitness was much stronger than Stotle, she would have been defeated long ago!

However, the battle was not completed because it was carried out on the street, not in a formal battle venue, so when a tour group passed by, they had to stop.

This pause interrupted their rhythm and they lost interest in fighting again. They could only treat it as a draw and go their separate ways.

Well... it started off well but ended badly.

Of course, this was just a small episode and no one cared about it, so after reuniting, the group continued on their journey and, under the leadership of Alice, began to explore the town again.

After passing through the city center, they arrived at the square in front of the Tower of Time and Space.

However, they did not enter the Tower of Time and Space directly, but followed a small path on the side and went down to the pond.

Although this place is not as famous as the Tower of Time and Space, it is also a popular Pokémon Garden in Baiyang Town!

While walking here slowly, Alice also said to the others, "This is my favorite place in town. Just like the Tower of Time and Space, this place was also designed by Gaudi. It is an outstanding work with the theme of harmony between nature, humans and Pokémon, so it is also called Gaudi's Garden."

A few people looked around and saw that the river water was brought into this garden. The ponds, fountains and swimming lanes inside were connected to form a huge circulation system. Around the road, there were lush plants, beautiful flowers, symmetrical sculptures and buildings, and even amusement facilities. Many Pokémon gathered here and played around. They were not afraid even when they saw humans coming. It was really like the original intention of its establishment, and truly achieved harmonious coexistence of nature, humans and Pokémon.

Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi and his friends couldn't help but release their Pokémon, letting them play here to their heart's content.

But at this moment, a Aledo jumped out from somewhere and ran in front of Alice.

As another evolved form of Kirliao, Aledo, like Gardevoir, evolved from Kirliao. However, compared to Gardevoir, which has psychic powers and fairy attributes, Aledo is obviously better at psychic powers and fighting, and there is only one male version.

Originally, Xia You and his friends thought that this was a wild Aledo like the other Pokémon in the garden, but they didn't expect that it actually knew Alice. After coming in front of them, it waved to Alice and motioned her to follow.

It seems like something has happened!

This was what everyone thought, but before Alice could ask, this Aledo jumped away in a certain direction in a hurry. Seeing this, Alice was startled and seemed to realize something, so she hurriedly followed.

When she left, Xia You and the others didn't understand why and were naturally surprised.

Xiaozhi asked blankly: "What happened?"

"Who knows." Xia You shrugged, "But for this kind of thing...wouldn't it be easy to find out if we catch up and take a look?"
