Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Night falls.

Bai Yu stood waiting in front of Nazi's door.

The fireworks display has already started, while Sabrina is still carefully getting ready in her room. If it weren't for the fact that Bai Yu couldn't be woken up when he entered the Sect Leader System, Bai Yu would have taken this opportunity to enter the Sect Leader System and level up the other Pokémon.

After a while.

Hearing the door open, Bai Yu wiped the drool from his mouth and resumed his previous posture.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Naza looked at Bai Yu apologetically, knowing that she had wasted some time.

"It's okay...it's okay, I just arrived too."

"Doryu~"

At this moment, Dorgonmesia, who hadn't appeared in the air for a long time, was also dressed up in full regalia, with some decorations on her body, looking quite comical.

Bai Yu also consulted with Dorgonmesia, who was a complete slacker and had no desire to evolve. After eating an Everstone, even in its cub form, it possessed the combat power of an Elite Four member.

Like the Vulpix in Sabrina's arms, it looks unremarkable, but it can actually play a very powerful role in the competition. Vulpix is ​​also dressed up a bit, wearing a yukata that is unique to Aspen Town and prepared for Pokémon. It looks cute and has a high appearance.

Nazi smiled sweetly, "Then let's go."

With that, he took Bai Yu's hand and walked towards the fireworks display.

At night, the entire town of Baiyang is brightly lit. The streets, which were quiet during the day, are now filled with shouts and calls. Stalls display all sorts of trinkets, among which the most popular are naturally the Electric Mouse and Eevee figurines.

These two Pokémon are the most popular in any region, and their keychains are also the best-selling.

"Bai Yu, I want this..."

Sabrina held up Abra's little doll and fiddled with it towards Bai Yu. It was clear that Sabrina really liked Abra. Even after evolving into Alakazam, Sabrina still kept that Alakazam by her side.

"Buy!" Bai Yu shouted, waving his hand.

Anyway, it was Naz's credit card that was used.

Although Bai Yu has some savings, it's definitely not as much as Na Zi's.

Naza's money is Bai Yu's money, and Bai Yu's money is still Bai Yu's money; the two don't interfere with each other.

"I want this too..."

Sabrina was like a little girl, rummaging through the crowd for all sorts of Pokémon items, as if Pokémon were the only companions in her life.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Sabrina's childhood was indeed filled with Pokémon and white feathers.

As for the other classmates, Sabrina didn't have much interaction with them due to her personality. After graduation, Sabrina took over her father's position and became the gym leader of the Saffron Gym.

"Bai Yu, did I buy a little too much?" Nazie looked at Bai Yu somewhat embarrassedly.

Bai Yu's hands were stuffed with bags and packages, and even the flying Dorgonmesia had one or two shopping bags hanging on her body. Dorgonmesia, who had been smiling and joking, looked downcast when she saw the bags and packages on her body. She was extremely depressed.

"It's alright, I think Dorgonmesia will be fine too."

Bai Yu waved his hand and said with a forced smile.

"Duo~ Duolong!!!"

The already precarious Doron Mesia was so frightened by Bai Yu's words that it shifted its body downwards for a moment. It hadn't evolved yet and was still tiny; how could it possibly bear such a heavy weight?

Judging from Dorgonmesia's expression, Bai Yu knew he couldn't count on it today.

If all else fails, let Martial Arts Bear Master come out. With Martial Arts Bear Master's physique, let alone these big and small bags, even if the size and weight were twice as big, it could easily lift them.

However, Urshifu is too big. With so many people on the street, letting Urshifu out would seriously disrupt public order. Bai Yu didn't want to be taken to the police station by Officer Jenny after finally getting a chance to stroll around. If the Sinnoh Elite Four members and Cynthia found out, they would laugh at him to death.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at the stall. They found an empty spot, and Bai Yu put down his bags and stretched. Looking at the Vulpix in Sabrina's arms, he said, "How about we buy some decorations for the Vulpix?"

"Hmm~"

Sabrina looked at the Ice Vulpix, nodded, and said, "Great! Great! I saw some nice ornaments when I got there, I can go buy them later."

"Ow~"

The Ice Vulpix also let out a happy cry.

However, this guy's eyes were fixed on the barbecue stall not far away the whole time. Ever since he had barbecue last time, Ice Six Tail couldn't forget that taste. The salty and sweet taste was really delicious.

……

"This is the venue for the fireworks display."

After a brief stroll, Bai Yu led Na Zi toward the mountain peak not far from Baiyang Town. This year's fireworks display was to be held on the mountain peak, and the stalls stretched all the way up the mountain, gradually decreasing only when they reached the mountain platform.

After all, most people are gathered on the platform, waiting for the fireworks to light up the sky. At this time, who cares about those people setting up stalls?

However, there were still quite a few people holding sparklers, weaving through the crowd to sell them. They all looked cute and made a good first impression, and most people would buy one or two from them.

"Brother and sister, do you want fireworks?!"

Just then, Bai Yu heard a soft voice.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a little girl of only eleven or twelve years old, wearing a yukata, her face flushed, was enthusiastically promoting the sparklers in her hand.

"How much?" Bai Yu asked softly.

Such a young girl is already selling goods; it seems the people of Sinnoh lead very ordinary lives.

However, Bai Yu also thought too much about it. After all, there are many trainers in this world who set off on their journeys at the age of ten, and they often die because they don't have money or because they provoke Pokémon with a strong sense of being wild lords.

Opportunities and dangers coexist. If an ordinary person wants to become an outstanding trainer and live a life of privilege, they must put in ten or even a hundred times more effort than the average person.

"Two yuan a stick."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, the little girl turned around and spoke to him.

"Okay, I'll take them all."

Bai Yu glanced at the sparklers in the little girl's hand. There weren't many, only a few dozen, and they didn't look very big. Normally, they would only cost one Pokémon Coin each.

However, even if prices were slightly higher for the fireworks display, Bai Yu could accept it. "Really...really?"

The little girl looked at Bai Yu with excitement. In her eyes, Bai Yu was like an angel, radiating dazzling light from head to toe.

"Of course it's true." Bai Yu reached out and patted the little girl's head, took out 100 Pokémon Coins and handed them to her, then took the sparkler from the little girl's hand.

There were only about thirty of them, but Bai Yu still gave too much money.

"Brother, brother, I'll get you some change."

The little girl spoke in a childish voice, rummaging through her small pockets for change.

"No need, consider the rest as a reward for your hard work today."

Bai Yu waved his hand, not taking the money to heart. A hundred Pokémon Coins seemed like a lot, but in reality, they were only worth about the price of a Poké Ball. Every time Bai Yu repaired a gym, he would spend several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.

Bai Yu is indeed very poor, but he seems poor compared to Sabrina. In reality, the expenses he incurs for raising so many Pokémon are enough to support a family of three for five or even ten years.

Opening a gym is very expensive, especially when the venue is damaged, the repair costs are not small. Of course, as an official gym of the league, the league will provide subsidies every month.

In addition, although Bai Yu is a gym leader, he is paid the salary of the league champion. The money supports all the Pokémon in his backyard and covers the daily maintenance expenses of the gym. Bai Yu can save a lot of pocket money.

"Thank you, brother!" the little girl said softly.

"Where are your family members?" Bai Yu asked curiously. Even if a little girl like her were to set up a stall to sell goods, there would be an adult accompanying her.

After all, with such a large crowd at this fireworks display, a slight lapse in attention could attract the attention of criminals. The criminals Bai Yu mentioned were not from Team Galaxy.

Although Team Galactic is an evil force in the Sinnoh region, they never engage in human trafficking. Similarly, Team Rocket in the Kanto region, the evil organizations in the Hoenn region, and even the Unova region would not do such foolish things.

At most, they might sell Pokémon; human trafficking?!
Even if you gave them ten heads, they wouldn't do something so stupid. Once discovered, the League would definitely launch a crackdown. They might joke around with you normally, but once they get serious, they'll mobilize the entire Pokémon world. Regional champions and international police will all come knocking.

They'll get what's coming to them then.

"Grandma~ Grandma is behind me." The little girl looked behind her, but couldn't find her mother. She looked around but couldn't find her.

For a moment, the little girl also lowered her head nervously.

Because her mother had told her not to talk to strangers.

But just now, when she was promoting her products, she talked to a lot of strangers.

"Isn't your mother here?"

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and threw a Poké Ball into the sky.

A flash of white light appeared, and Darkrai's figure appeared in the crowd. Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to Darkrai.

This Pokémon, which only exists in the history of Sinnoh, has appeared in front of them today. This is much more exciting than a fireworks display. It is the legendary Nightmare God!
"Darkrai?! It's the real Darkrai!!"

"I'd heard about the Darkrai Guardian in Aspen Town for a long time, but I'd never seen it before. Today I finally have."

"By the way, did you guys see that white light just now? I have a feeling that this Darkrai was captured by someone."

"Captured?! Are you kidding me? How could Darkrai be captured by anyone else?"

"..."

"Don't forget, Masters champion Mr. Bai Yu has a Darkrai. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't."

The entire platform erupted into chaos as everyone pulled out their phones and cameras to take pictures of Darkrai, their frenzy far surpassing that of the trainers in the Kanto region.

After all, Darkrai is a legendary Pokémon that trainers in the Sinnoh region dream of seeing and capturing.

"Darkrai?!"

The little girl was immediately drawn to Darkrai.

This was the first time she had ever seen Darkrai, the man her mother had told her about. He was really...really handsome.

“Darkrai, you should be able to sense her family, right?”

Bai Yu communicated with Darkrai using his mind.

“I can sense that her relatives are nearby.”

Darkrai nodded, giving Bai Yu a positive answer. It could sense the aura of any household in Baiyang Town, and the little girl was a member of a family in Baiyang Town. Darkrai instantly identified her family by her aura.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Darkrai, to help her find her family."

"After you've finished searching, conceal yourself and sense the collision of time and space. Notify me immediately once the collision occurs."

Bai Yu also had his own plans. If Darkrai were kept inside a Poké Ball, its perception of the outside world would be weakened. Rather than that, it would be better to release Darkrai in advance, so that it could at least further perceive the timing of the collision between time and space and arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

“I know!” Darkrai’s eyes flashed with a blue light as he used his special ability to lift the little girl up and urge her to move towards her mother.

While everyone was still arguing about Darkrai, Darkrai had already disappeared from their sight.

At this moment, all the arguments become meaningless.

"Bai Yu, you're such a kind person," Na Zi said softly, coming back to her senses.

Am I really that nice?!
That's a dangerous statement.

Girls usually say these things to boys when they break up.

Naza continued, seemingly oblivious to her own words, "You bought so many fireworks, will you be able to set them all off later?"

Seeing Naz's curious expression, Bai Yu also took out a sparkler and gestured to the flying Doromisia.

Doronmesia looked at Bai Yu, tilting her head. Clearly, Doronmesia didn't know any fire-type moves.

Bai Yu suddenly thought of something, his lips twitched, and he casually put the remaining sparklers into the bag hanging in Doronmesia's hand, then took out a lighter and silently lit the sparklers.

A dazzling display of fireworks bloomed before Naz, leaving a deep impression on her, though not as spectacular as the one to follow. Bai Yu took out another sparkler, and the two sparklers collided, igniting a burst of vibrant colors.

"Here you go!" Bai Yu handed the lit sparkler to Nazi.

Naza took the sparkler, watching the small firework bloom in mid-air, and smiled sweetly, a smile that exuded an indescribable warmth. (End of Chapter)
