It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 349 Goodbye Xiaozhao, an invitation from the World Championship

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight broke through the curtains and fell on the windows of the two of them. Hoshino, who was wearing pajamas, rubbed his arms that were still slightly numb. He didn't know when he was pillowed, and he couldn't remember.

Lillie sat aside and smiled awkwardly, with a little blush on her face, as if she did it by herself last night, because this way she could hug each other better, and the pillow was quite comfortable.

"It's okay, do you want me to rub it for you?"

"It's okay, as long as you're happy."

Hoshino smiled and put his hands down, and the two of them fell asleep in a daze. Although nothing happened, this unique feeling was the first time, as if satisfying some beautiful fantasies from the past.

Then he lifted the quilt and got off the bed, opened the curtains, let the sunlight shine in completely, then turned sideways and said: "It's almost time to get up, look at your hair, it's so messy every time you wake up, go and tidy it up Well, what do you want for breakfast?"

"Well... I feel like I want to eat a lot, forget it, it's the same as usual."

Saying that, Liliai also got off the bed, feeling the warm sunshine, opened her arms, stretched her body, then looked at Hoshino with a playful look, and smiled: "Holding you is more comfortable than hugging a pillow~"

"I'm one level higher than a pillow."

"Haha."

The two left the room together with a smile, consciously not mentioning some embarrassing things that happened last night, just tacit understanding.

They are very clear that if either party fails to control it, they may not be able to stop, but this day may be coming soon, after all, both of them are already adults...

But after leaving the room, Lilia suddenly found some sawdust on the floor in front of the door, and then turned around suspiciously, only to see some scratches left on the door by someone.

"Who scratched the door last night? You have to pay for it..."

"..."

After breakfast, Hoshino sorted out the work that he hadn't finished last night, and he finally relaxed. The two planned to go to the game first, and then go back to Alola.

But now, due to the postponement of the World Championships, there are still a few days before the start, and they have nothing to do, so they decided to take advantage of these few days to challenge the gym in the Carlos area!

So after discussing, they challenged Master Fu in Biyi City on the same day, and successfully obtained the plant badge, which was one step closer to participating in the assessment of professional trainers.

After that, they returned to Miare City and planned the next challenge route. For them now, except for a few special gymnasiums, the gymnasium challenges are really not difficult.

The only thing that can stop them is that the trainers of the gymnasium have something to refuse to accept the challenge...

Even so, in the last few days, they obtained the fairy badge from Maxiu in Xiangxun City, and the bug badge from Violet in White Sandalwood City. Now there are the last 5 badges left, and they can go to participate Examined.

But today is also the day they left the Carlos area. At first, they came here because they were interested in the legacy of the Rockets and Detective Pikachu, but they didn't expect to experience so much in a blink of an eye.

Miare City's economy has not fully recovered, but it is much better than half a month ago. There is no dilapidated scene after the disaster. Those big rhizomes are now chopped down and burned as firewood.

There has been no news from the two Ziggards since then. The Tree of Life seems to have returned to the Diamond Mining Country, and the Cocoon of Destruction has gone to nowhere.

While packing his luggage at the office, Pikachu in a detective suit stood on the desk, waved, and said, "Finally we can go, let me be quiet for a while longer."

Hearing this, Lilia said with a smile: "I remember coming to Alola to play during Chinese New Year, to the Ether Paradise, it's very lively!"

"I know, I know."

"When you have nothing to do, you can also come to Kabukicho to play. Although the underground atmosphere is a bit strange, the ground is still very good, such as the tavern downstairs of our house."

Hoshino also smiled and gave it some suggestions. Anyway, the other party also knew the teleportation passage from Miare City to Kabukicho, and then they said goodbye to the other party and left. They had to catch a plane to the Quartz Plateau.

After chatting for a while, the two left. Pikachu stood by the window and watched them walking down the street, with his hands behind his back, shaking his head.

Then it seemed to feel something, turned around suddenly, and saw Chaomeng, who had disappeared for half a month, came here at some time, walked to it, and also stared at the two people who left below.

"These days are like a dream..."

"Yeah, Pokémon Village should be fine, right?"

"Ah."

"Then what are your next plans?"

"I intend to stay here."

"Ok?"

"The experiences of these days have made me interested in the profession of detective, which can help other people. If you don't mind, let me be your assistant and help the city revive together."

"Is that so..."

Pikachu rubbed his chin, thought for a long time, then snapped his fingers suddenly, and said with a smile: "No problem, then you can stay here, but this city... may have another urban legend!"

……

The plane took off from the temporarily designated airport in Miare City and flew to the Kanto area.

Lilia sat beside Hoshino, swiping her mobile phone and chatting with her friends in Rotom. This time, she pulled some people into the group of Wanshiwu, and the circle was a little bigger.

At this time, she looked at Hoshino, who was stroking the cat, and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, do you have any new plans for next year? For example, where to travel?"

"Um……"

Hoshino came back to his senses, thought about it seriously, but still shook his head, and said, "Not yet, let's deal with the matter of Wanshiwu first, maybe go to Fengyuan area?"

"That's right, Mikri's wedding... didn't you say you didn't want to go?"

"If you want to go, then I will definitely accompany you."

"There's no need to force yourself to ask for it."

"It doesn't matter, just be with you."

"You……"

Lilia shook her head helplessly, but she showed a faint smile on her face, then continued to swipe her phone and asked, "Who do you think will win this year's World Championship?"

"I don't know, I didn't watch it last time."

"But I have seen it, and it was the day I picked you up to go home, but I watched the live broadcast with my classmates at school. At that time, Chi Hong and Dandi fought so fiercely that I couldn't believe that it was also The strength of a Pokémon trainer..."

Lillie still remembers her shock when she watched the game that day. She didn't have any Pokémon at the time. Watching this kind of game that couldn't even explain the game commentary was like watching a sci-fi movie.

But in the blink of an eye after so many years, she seemed to have finally reached this threshold!

Seeing her small thoughts, Hoshino stretched out his hand to stroke her loose hair, and said, "Don't worry, you will also fight these strong men on this world-class stage one day!"

"But I'd rather have a fight with you on stage."

"Really? Then you have to work hard!"

"Hmm~"

In the early morning of the next day, the plane slowly landed at the Quartz Plateau Airport. This is the headquarters of the alliance in Kanto and Johto, and it is also the place where the Pokémon League originated. It is very lively.

When they left the airport, they saw Mei Yue and Xiao Yang waiting for them from afar.

The two have traveled from the Kanto area to the Johto area, and they have almost collected the badges of the two areas. They have been working hard for the establishment of the Alola Alliance.

Having not seen her old friend for a long time, Liliai stepped forward to hug Miyue with a happy face, and then said: "It's such a cold day, you came here so early to wait for us, won't you sleep a little longer?"

Meiyue stretched out her hand to straighten the other party's crooked hat, saw Lilia who was already taller than herself, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yang complained, "But I'm about to freeze to death...she insists on dragging me out of bed and waiting for you."

"You talk too much!"

Meiyue patted him hard, the two had been dating for so many years, they had already lived together, and they also planned to get married after the establishment of the Alola Alliance.

Seeing them squabbling, Hoshino stepped forward to say hello with a smile: "Long time no see."

Hearing this, Mizuki's gaze also fell, and then she said with a playful smile: "Yo, the hero who saved the world~"

"...don't make fun of me."

"Haha."

About what Hoshino did, these friends know more from Qishu, they are all in the same group, they have been familiar with it for a long time, and they also admire Hoshino for doing this kind of thing.

"I heard that Alola's tourism experience has soared during this period, thanks to you."

"Isn't this what it should be? Make some contributions to the development of your hometown."

"But I still have to say thank you, but this is not a place for chatting, it's too cold, let's find a place to have breakfast first."

"You still know it's cold!"

"Haha."

……

I found a breakfast shop, and after solving the breakfast problem, several people felt much warmer.

Just at this moment, perhaps knowing that he had come to the Quartz Plateau, Hoshino suddenly received an email in his mailbox, and he clicked on it to read it.

"Um?!"

"what happened?"

"The World Championship official invited me to the guest seat to watch the game... Usually the ones sitting there are the league champions and the like."

Hoshino explained that this kind of situation is still very common. There are often some guys with their own traffic who are invited to be guests in the competition, but this is not bad, you can get to know those champions.

And after talking about this, they then started some discussions about the Alola Alliance, and now there are only two most critical things.

One is to get the support of other regional alliances, and the other is that there are too few excellent trainers in Alola. The alliance is an important pillar for a regional trainer. If the strength is not enough, it will not last long.

When talking about this crucial issue, Meiyue said in a serious tone: "However, in the Alola region, there are many trainers who have gone to other regions to develop. We are also trying to contact them back, but the effect is not very good. There are not many trainers. People want to come back."

As she said that, she sighed softly, Alola is still too backward compared to other regions, so few people want to return to a small region like their hometown to develop.

However, Hoshino didn't pay too much attention to this issue, and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just act as a face-to-face. Anyway, my reputation is enough. The important thing is to prove my strength!"

Although he saved the world, that was only achieved by relying on the legendary Pokémon, and the easiest way to prove his own strength is to express himself on the stage of the World Championships!
"That's right, as long as there is a pillar that can support the Alola Alliance, many trainers will naturally be attracted to come here."

Meiyue nodded, expressing her support for his proposal, Alola's landowners have gold content, but it still takes time.

So after chatting for a while, she changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about the World Championship, the opening ceremony tomorrow, but Mao and the others will come over later, so we can get together again."

"With so many people, can you get a ticket?"

Hoshino was a little curious. He heard that the price of tickets for the World Championships has increased dozens of times, and there is still a price but no market, which is very outrageous.

But before Meiyue could answer, Liliai took a sip of hot milk tea, turned her head to look at him, and said, "Didn't you watch it? There are a bunch of ticket dealers in the group, and I bought your tickets from them." of."

"What's the matter?"

Hoshino has a lot of work on his hands, and generally he doesn't have a lot of water. Lilia explained: "Many people in the group work in the alliance, or have positions and connections. The World Championship is organized by the alliance association, so they can easily get ticket."

"???"

"However, although they have also increased the price, it is not as outrageous as it is on the market. It is considered an internal price."

"Where are there so many scalpers, all kicked!"

"Calm down, calm down."

Li Liai smiled and handed over her milk tea, and then said: "It's not bad, it increases communication, and everyone can watch the game, it's not bad."

"..."

Hoshino took a sip of milk tea, sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, but it's true, we can get together with everyone, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Well, let's find a place to live first. The competition will last for five days, but it might be hard to find..."

Lilia took out her mobile phone and started looking through Rotom, but Meiyue was already prepared, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've already booked everything with you, but you have to pay for it yourself, I'm poor too."

"no problem!"

After a while, after finding a place to live, the good sisters Liliai and Meiyue went out shopping, while Xiaoyang went back to sleep.

Hoshino left the hotel alone, carried Xinye Miao to the street outside, and looked towards the direction of the Quartz Arena. There was the venue for the next competition, and it was also the biggest stage for the trainers!

"It's so close..."

He sighed inexplicably, so many years have passed since he came to this world, and now he is only so close to this stage.

One day, he will also set foot on the unknown peak with his Pokémon. This is a trainer's promise to Pokémon!

"Meow?"

"Come on, let's go and have a look."

Hoshino smiled, and walked over there with Hoshino in his arms. Millerton, Gengar... Pokémon appeared around him one by one, but under Zoroark's illusion, no one found them.

Since tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Masters, the arena is still making final preparations today, so others are forbidden to enter, but this can't stop them.

It is very easy to enter the arena, the interior is very empty, but also very deserted, not a single ghost can be seen in the auditorium that can accommodate 10 people, but it will be completely lively tomorrow.

He grabbed the guardrail of the auditorium and looked at the competition field below. There is nothing there now, but one day, he will also stand on this stage with his Pokémon!

Although he didn't say it, the Pokémon around him all understood what he meant, raised their hands one after another, and shouted that they would definitely do it!

"Ok!"

Hoshino turned around and looked at them, Millerton, Gengar, New Leaf Meow, Saifuhao, Pope Dolphin, Iron Bag, Machado, Zoroak... These companions who have been by his side all the time, family!

"Then let's work hard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure suddenly appeared in Hoshino's field of vision. The other person was wearing a light blue skirt, and his legs were exposed to the cold air.

She is tall and slender, with a pink scarf around her neck, long black hair hanging loose, not too much decoration, delicate appearance, with a smile on her face as if reunited with an old friend after a long absence.

This slightly mature woman walked out from the stairs, waved to Hoshino, and said with a smile, "You are here, long time no see~"

Looking at the other person's appearance, Hoshino was slightly taken aback: "Xiao Guang? No, you are..."

"It's me, isn't it surprising~"

"!!!"

Hoshino had disbelief written all over his face. There is no doubt that although he has matured a lot, this person in front of him is definitely a friend he met in Xicui area!

But it has been more than 100 years, let alone how to live to the present, what is going on with this age that does not look old at all?

Not only him, but the new Yemen around them all recognized it, especially Zoroark, who was even more shocked. A human being has lived like himself to this day?
Looking at their expressions, Xiaozhao smiled. After all, no one would think that she was still alive, but she still explained to her friends.

"This is the ability bestowed by the avatar of Sinnoh after I passed the test. Although I can live forever, it cannot interfere with any major events in this world."

"To put it simply, even if Kigard restarts the ecology, I can't stop it, but in the same way, it won't affect me..."

Hearing this, Hoshino finally understood, and said, "It's because Sinnoh didn't care about anything, and then asked you to look at the world instead of him? Right?"

"Almost, it's very similar to Sister Wusi. Although the friends around me have left one by one... But living up to now, I have seen this world protected by us... this new world created by us. The development of the times!"

Xiao Zhao explained with a little sadness, but she can refuse to live anytime and enter reincarnation, which is also the right bestowed upon her by Sinnoh.

After knowing everything, Hoshino wasn't too surprised. In short, it's Sinnoh, this guy is really, no matter what happens, he still wants to find something.

After cursing in his heart, Hoshino leaned his back on the guardrail, and was about to continue talking with his old friend Xiaozhao, when the rear guardrail suddenly broke, and he was caught off guard, and he fell straight down...

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhao immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you all right?"

"It's...well."

"..."

Seeing this, Xiaozhao shook her head, roughly guessing what the other party was thinking just now, and since the other party was fine, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

She has lived until now, besides watching the development of this new era, there is one more thing...to have a Pokémon battle with Hoshino!
