He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 3794 I've Been Kept
After leaving the headquarters building, thinking it was lunchtime, Xiao Guang first turned right and went to Yu Man Ting.

"Uncle Shiyue, give me a double portion of taro cakes today."

Thinking of Xiaozhi's appetite, she changed her mind and said:
"No, give me a five-person serving, I want to take it all to go!"

"Serves five?"

Shi Yue frowned. Didn't this girl always eat only one person's worth of food before?
Could it be that he has also awakened the talent of a competitive eater?
For example, Xingyue, the head of the investigation team, always buys taro cakes for ten people every time she comes.

Of course, they don't eat at his shop; they always take the food back to the office, leaving behind a cool comment:

"In order to appreciate food properly, I want to enjoy it alone and not be disturbed by anyone!"

Before long, carrying more than three pounds of taro cakes, Xiao Guang hummed a little tune as he walked towards the tourist gathering area at the entrance of the village.

As a member of the investigation team, her house was also in this area, making it convenient for her to leave the village.

At this moment, a squinty-eyed, dark-faced young man from the Ginkgo Merchant Guild was already standing in front of Xiao Guang's house, with the familiar electric mouse perched on his shoulder—

She had already told Xiaozhi her house number in advance.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu jumped excitedly onto Dawn's shoulder after not seeing her for over a week.

"Long time no see, Pikachu, and uh, Ash."

Xiao Guang chuckled dryly as she greeted him, her gaze lingering for a moment on Xiao Zhi's "Xiao Gang" face—she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Oh, Hikaru, you look more energetic now. Looks like you're adapting well to the Seishui area!"

Xiao Zhi responded with a smile.

Xiao Guang casually pushed open the wooden door and gestured for him to enter.

call out.!

As soon as he stepped inside, Ash's body was enveloped in light, dispelling the illusion and finally revealing his true form.

Zoroark also appeared, his fox-like eyes curiously surveying the house.

Is this your room?

Xiao Zhi looked around the room; it was a very typical old-fashioned wooden house with one bedroom and one living room.

From the entrance, you can see everything at a glance.

The entrance is a muddy area for shoes. The living room has a slightly higher threshold and wooden flooring. In the middle is a pile of extinguished firewood, and above it hangs an iron pot from a beam.

It serves as both a place for heating and a place for cooking.

There were many wooden tables, stools, and boxes of miscellaneous items placed in the corners, connecting to the inner room, separated only by a sliding door.

The room was furnished even more simply, with mattresses and blankets on the tatami mats and a mirror for changing clothes, and nothing else.

"Well, there's nothing to pursue in this era."

Xiao Guang took off his straw sandals and came up. As he spoke, he skillfully put all the materials and props he had collected along the way into the miscellaneous box next to him and stored them in categories.

She rarely even goes home to sleep, spending most of her time outside grinding progress and camping.

Xiao Zhi also went into the living room, took the taro cake package handed to him by Xiao Guang, and his eyes lit up when he smelled the familiar aroma.

"This must be the taro cake from Yu Man Ting!!"

Peel back the simple outer leaf packaging, and inside are golden brown and crispy taro cakes, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, still steaming hot.

Since it was Dawn's house, Ash, very naturally, sat down by the woodpile, tore off a piece of wood and gave it to Pikachu and Zoroark, then took a bite himself.

"It's really delicious!"

Especially in this era, the flavor can be elevated to another level.

However, it's hard to make potatoes taste bad, whether they're fried, roasted, or sweetened.
With a gentle smile on his face, Xiao Guang sat down next to Xiao Zhi.

She picked up a taro cake, blew away the steam rising from its surface, and then slowly took a bite. Adventuring in the world of Xicui, she was constantly on edge, as this era was different from the modern one, appearing far more cruel and dangerous.

However, with Ash sitting next to her now, her shoulders unconsciously relaxed.

While eating dinner, the two chatted, mostly about their experiences over the past few days.

"Pure white frozen soil, huh? I just advanced to five stars, I need to level up two more times before I can go there."

For five-star hotels, the only option right now is the foot of Tianguan Mountain.

However, the tyrannical king in Zhenfu should be able to advance to the seventh star level after studying the local ecology.

Currently, it seems that the entire Galaxy Team only has three Seven Star members.

Her current team is probably not strong enough to defeat Garchomp, the boss of the Pure White Tundra.
That night, Xiao Zhi didn't return to the Ginkgo Merchant Guild's dormitory base, but stayed here instead.

Xiao Guang slept on the tatami mat inside, while he moved another set of bedding and quilts over and slept in the living room.

Just like when they traveled together in the Sinnoh region back then, Dawn slept exceptionally soundly and peacefully that night.

The next day, early in the morning.

As soon as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Xiao Guang had already finished getting ready. After washing up, her eyes were filled with obvious anticipation and excitement.

"Let's go, Xiao Zhi. I've arranged everything for you today. Just follow me obediently!"

As she spoke, Xiao Guang's lips curled up; she had already planned her date for the day.

Xiao Zhi blinked, looking both confused and impressed.

However, Zhu Qingcun's words were indeed Xiao Guang's home turf, so he didn't ask any more questions. After disguising himself as Teacher Gang, he followed behind.

Soon, Xiao Guang pulled him to the training ground on the west side of the village. The guard team leader, Berryla, had just gotten up, but she immediately perked up when she saw the two of them.

"Oh, Xiao Zhao~ You're finally back? And... the guy from the Ginkgo Merchant Guild yesterday?" She looked the two of them over with interest.
"So you two were friends?"

Xiao Guang smiled and nodded, then took out a bulging cloth bag from his pocket, untied the drawstring, and revealed a large pile of black seeds inside.

He took a closer look and found that they were all mastered seeds, probably numbering in the hundreds!

Xiao Guang smiled slightly, looking at him with a hint of arrogance:

"I'll cover all your expenses here today!"

Ash raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling like he was being kept by someone—but being kept by Dawn didn't seem so bad, did it?
Berry's gaze darted back and forth between the two, her expression gradually becoming strange.

Is this a kept man with a dark complexion?

Wow, that's quite a lot!

Bellila took the bag and roughly counted them, then exclaimed in surprise: over a hundred Master Seeds! That means Dawn must have killed at least five hundred wild Pokémon, right?
"Uh, that number is more than five hundred."

Xiao Guang chuckled inwardly.

The probability of a master seed carrying the seed is 1/5, which is already outdated data.
Her intensive collection over the past two weeks suggests that the actual probability should be around 1 in 8, or even lower.

These master seeds seem to be a non-renewable resource?
At the very least, this item no longer exists in the modern Sinnoh region, so the difficulty of obtaining it will only continue to increase.

Of course, she doesn't want to defeat them, but rather use her thief's trick: steal and run. That's much more efficient.

As for the locals in Xicui, they just can't wrap their heads around it—

They believe that the only way to obtain items from Pokémon is by defeating them.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Xiao Zhi might hesitate if he were offered escort services by other people.

But since Xiao Guang was currently supporting him, Xiao Zhi smiled and didn't hold back:

"Miss Bellila, please teach my Pikachu how to use Charm!"

Let's develop Pikachu first and teach it a new Fairy-type move!
