Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity

Chapter 196: Falling in love at first sight with Xia Mu?

Just as the girls started making fun of Xia Mu's past, Xia Mu and Tire Miao arrived at a park.

"Tirey Meow!"

"Meow?"

"Sorry, I didn't notice your mood at all. I initially thought you wanted to be an S because you watched too many TV dramas???"

The Snivy in the Poké Ball widened its eyes.

No, is this how you comfort Pokémon?

Your cat will hit you if you do that!

But the cat's reaction was even more intriguing. After hearing what Xia Mu said, she paused suspiciously for a moment.

However, Xia Mu did not notice this.

"When you were being affectionate with me just now, I sensed your unease. So, anyway—no matter what you become, you'll always be the cutest person in the world in my heart!"

"Meow!"

The cat hugged Natsuki, deeply moved.

As Xia Mu stroked the cat's head, he suddenly noticed the Poké Ball on his waist.

"And Snake Girl, Hammer Girl, Claydol, and Sea Lion are all the cutest in the world!"

The cat looked somewhat speechless.

Can't I be a little more moved at a time like this?!

Tiremy kicked Natsuki angrily, then burrowed into the Poké Ball.

However, in Snivy's opinion, Tiree was clearly embarrassed and ran away because she realized that her little sisters were watching her from inside the Poké Ball after hearing what Natsuki said.

In short, despite many minor hiccups, Xia Mu eventually managed to appear in the movie alongside the cat.

Then she received an apology from Natsume.

"A fairy egg?!"

"Yes! I heard from Ahua that you're preparing to challenge the Hinoki Tournament, but you only have five Pokémon right now. So, after careful consideration, I've decided to entrust this child to you!"

As she spoke, Natsu raised an eyebrow at Tiremy, who was standing next to Natsuki.

[If you're talking about money, this child is incredibly expensive!]

Tire Meow: "...—

What I want is money, not just another mouth to feed in the family!

Cat suddenly blinked, thinking about Snake Sister's reaction when she learned that there was another mouth to feed in the house.

Wait a minute? The Green Vine Snake seems like it'll be very happy?!

Just as the cat was deep in thought, Xia Mu's expression was also somewhat speechless.

"Why do you all like giving away Pokémon eggs?!"

The original Ball Ball sea lion had just hatched, and now another one has appeared.

However, considering that this was a Pokémon created by Sabrina, Natsuki still looked at Sabrina with expectant eyes.

"You wouldn't want this child to live below the poverty line from the moment it hatches, would you?"

Naz:

"......"

This was the first time Naz had ever seen such a shameless person.

I am Sabrina, the magical queen whom countless people clamor to be trampled upon!

You're being so picky about things I give you.

At this moment, Sabrina really wanted to use her psychic powers to launch Natsuki, especially after sensing the faint psychic energy fluctuations from the Pokémon egg. This thought became even stronger for Sabrina.

"Honestly, you're already moving things to your new home before you've even hatched! You little ingrate, all that effort I put into raising you with my superpowers!"

Seeing Sabrina's speechless expression as she complained about the Pokémon egg in Ahua's hand, Natsuki's eyes lit up.

Superpowered nurturing? They know how to save trainers money even before the eggs hatch?

"What a good child!"

Xia Mu immediately and enthusiastically took the elf egg from Ahua's hands.

Seeing this scene and feeling the intensely joyful psychic energy emanating from the Pokémon egg, Sabrina shook her head helplessly.

"I'll send you the things later, bye!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Xia Mu grabbed Na Zi.

"You still haven't told me what Pokémon this kid is?!"

Naz raised an eyebrow.

"you guess?"

Xia Mu touched his chin.

"First up are the Psychic-type Pokémon, right?"

"uh-huh!"

"Then, considering Miss Sabrina's identity—"

Snapped!

Xia Mu snapped his fingers.

"Casey?"

"no!"

"Hypnosis?"

"No, not at all!"

"Monini?"

"No, let me give you a hint. It's a Pokémon you'll definitely love, and I'm actually a little reluctant to part with it, if it weren't for this kid falling in love with you at first sight—"

Upon hearing Natsume's words, even Haruka and Yukari became curious.

"It's definitely Slowpoke! Natsuki loves Pokémon that can make money!"

Xiaoyao made a definitive statement.

"No, no, no!" Zi and the others shook their heads repeatedly.

"Since it's said that it fell in love with Natsuki at first sight, it means that this child can see Natsuki's appearance from the Pokémon egg, and it's very likely to be a humanoid Pokémon, so it's Jynx, no, it's Jynx!"

"No, no, no!" Xiaoyao shook her head repeatedly.

"I've heard stories before about Poopooh falling in love with a trainer, but Poopooh isn't a humanoid! I think it should be Slowpoke!"

"No, no, no!"

"No, no, no!"

Compared to these two guys who loved watching the drama unfold, Xia Mu was much more serious.

"I think it's possible that Mewtwo made a mistake by accident—after all, it's a Pokémon that even Sabrina would be reluctant to part with!"

Natsuki tried to get a positive answer from Sabrina's expression, and then soared into the sky to become the Divine Beast Man of the Unova region.

But "If it's Mewtwo, who the hell would give it to you!"

Naza was speechless; this girl really dared to think that way.

"Mewtwo? Maybe I should just give you Arceus!"

"Okay, okay!"

"You're something else! Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death by the people of Sinnoh?!"

After making a speechless comment, Naz gave one last hint.

"Everyone, although I'm the Gym Leader of the Kanto region, that doesn't mean I only have Psychic-type Pokémon from Kanto! By the way, this kid can hear all your guesses!"

"So, she's really angry right now, being called a hypnotist and a Slowpoke!"

After saying that, Naz waved her hand and left without a trace.

Only Xia Mu and the other two remained, their expressions frozen as they stared at the elf egg in their arms.

"Um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I'm really sorry!"

Xiaoyao immediately apologized to the Pokémon egg, and then she looked directly at Xia Mu.

"Hurry, Xia Mu, use your superpower to see if this child has forgiven me!"

Xia Mu immediately closed his eyes, then put his index and middle fingers together at the center of his forehead.

"I think I heard something—"

"What is it?!"

Under the tense gazes of Xiaoyao and Zi, Xia Mu frowned.

"It seems to be about—money?!"

"(-～) Tch~~" 2

The two women were speechless.

"This is exactly what you wanted!"

"No, I really heard it!"

"I don't believe you for a second!"

Xiaoyao wasn't fooled by Xia Mu, so she simply grabbed Zi and left.

"At worst, I'll apologize to him in person after the child hatches!"

Seeing this, Xia Mu immediately chased after them.

"No, please believe me, I really heard it! I swear on my life!!"

"Meow!"

As Xia Mu and the others left, Ahua, who was secretly eating melon seeds in the RV, couldn't help but look curiously at Nazi beside her.

"Cousin, is what Xia Mu said true?"

clap clap!

Naz patted the folding fan in her hand.

Who knows?

Although she appeared calm on the outside, Naz was actually speechless inside.

Because of her powerful superpowers, Sabrina was fully aware of what had just happened.

Perhaps because the Pokémon in the egg was too young, and Natsuki's psychic powers weren't strong, Natsuki didn't actually hear anything.

But it was precisely under these circumstances that Xia Mu's Hu unexpectedly stumbled upon the correct answer.

Honestly, I haven't mistreated this child at all. Where did she learn this kind of thing? It's making me afraid to even tell the truth.

Sabrina doesn't want others to think that she's raising a Pokémon only to raise a greedy little guy!
