Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

"..."

Watching Xiaoyao's behavior, Ziyu found the scene inexplicably funny.

"It's not surprising that you want to eat Xia Mu!"

"No way! Xia Mu doesn't look as delicious as you, woof~"

Xiaoyao gently bit Ziyu's arm.

"Haha, it itches so much~"

The two girls started playfully fighting, and just as Tachibana was getting into a good mood, Natsuki arrived.

Click!

"Hehehe, you don't want your parents to see this photo, do you?!"

Feeling like he'd become broke again, Natsuki picked up his excellent skills again.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao was speechless.

"It's not a big deal, is it?"

"How about this?"

Xia Mu immediately added hearts and lily petals to the photo, along with the blush on the two girls' faces when they were just playing around. The two best friends seemed to suddenly become strange.

But the two girls were completely unaware of this; they exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the photo in Xia Mu's hand.

Wow, so beautiful!

"I didn't expect you to have this skill. Very impressive!"

"..."

Xia Mu realized for the first time that when threatening someone, you need to make them feel that it's a weakness.

"Damn it, has my skill level gotten this bad? How am I supposed to make money now? Sell songs?!"

"Song?!"

A white-haired punk girl suddenly appears.

"No, are all the people in Liyong City so elusive?"

Xia Mu was speechless.

Officer Jenny was like that, Blanchy was like that, and now suddenly a white-haired punk girl has appeared.

But just then, the girl stared at Xia Mu with wide eyes.

"Ah, you are..."

Chapter 191 Homica

Seeing that the girl seemed to recognize him, Xia Mu immediately straightened his chest.

"Yes, that's right. Standing before you now is none other than Xia Mu Xia, a strong contender for the Raven Good Citizen Award, the World Championship Junior Cup Champion, the Blueberry League Champion, the Unova Rising Star, and the Pokémon Master!"

"Are you an idiot to use so many fancy titles in your self-introduction?!"

Despite the mask covering her face, the girl's arrogant attitude remained undisguised.

With her irritable, devilish personality and white hair, Xia Mu immediately looked at the girl in front of him with suspicion.

"You wouldn't happen to be Homiga from the Rikyu Dojo, would you?"

"I didn't expect you to see through my elaborate disguise. You're quite skilled!"

Homiga glanced at Xia Mu with slight surprise, then took off the gas mask from her face, revealing her freckled face.

As the gym leader of the Poison-type gym, Homiga has even turned the gym into an underground music club. As a rock singer, his personality has always been controversial.

Some people think she has a strong personality and become her fans, while others think she is aloof and arrogant, so they don't like Homiga.

But without a doubt, Homiga is an extremely famous figure in the Unova region and even worldwide.

Faced with such praise from a person, Xia Mu naturally raised his head proudly.

"Hmph, after all, I am the man known as 'Eagle Eye,' such disguises are too shallow for me!"

Although it's shameless self-praise, Natsuki can indeed be considered to have the eyes of an eagle when it comes to Homiga's disguise of simply wearing a mask and letting her hair down during the performance.

Homiga did not show any strange reaction to this.

After all, from his previous self-introduction, Homiga knew that the guy in front of her was a complete narcissist.

So Homiga looked at Xia Mu and asked her the question that mattered most to her at that moment.

"I just heard you talking about a song. Did you write a new one?!"

Although Homiga had little interest in the mainstream music scene, she did live in a city like Liyong City, where entertainment was heavily commercialized.

Therefore, when Natsuki and Karuni announced the theme song for the TV series together on a live broadcast, a large number of news reports about the matter immediately appeared in Liyong City.

[Champion falls for talented man from the online community; live-streamed secret meeting reveals shocking inside story!]

[Because of love? Could Karune become the Unova Champion?!]

[Livestream intoxication! A handsome young man engages in a fierce battle at the event, conquering Queen Carlos!]

To be honest, even though I knew the media outlets in Liyong City were unreliable, I still couldn't resist clicking on them.

then.

She then heard Natsuki's song, "Riding on the Back of a Dragonite".

Although it wasn't Homiga's style, she didn't get the gossip she wanted.

However, with her musical appreciation skills, she still had to admit that it was an excellent song, and she also remembered Xia Mu's appearance because of those strange news stories.

At this moment, Xia Mu had no idea that Homiga's little head was filled with bizarre rumors about him.

Upon hearing Homiga's question, Xia Mu immediately envisioned a perfect scenario.

He sang, won over Homika, who invited him to her concert, they released a song together, he made a fortune, and he lay on top of banknotes with Cat and Snake, shouting, "This feels amazing!"

Thinking of that wonderful scene, Xia Mu immediately spoke up without the slightest hesitation.

"Mommy, waaaaaah~"

"Bohemian Rhapsody," one of Queen's signature songs, was a powerful and impactful piece that influenced almost every heavy metal band in the late 20th century. Queen's operatic rock style was sure to deliver a powerful shock to Homiga.

And the result was as expected.

As soon as Xia Mu spoke, the three women beside him immediately widened their eyes.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

"Xia Mu, calm down! You can't do this in a crowded place!!"

Xiaoyao and Ziyu immediately blushed and covered Xiamu's mouth.

But seeing this, Homiga's expression became even more shocked.

No?

Does this mean you can do something like this when no one's around?!

Homiga, who was considered unconventional by many, really wanted to show everyone what true unconventionality was.

"You guys are really..."

Homiga remained silent for a long time, unable to think of any words to describe the people in front of him.

The pervert seemed too restrained, and the weirdo lacked a bit of aggression.

At this moment, Homiga felt immense regret for having skipped academic classes to pursue musical activities, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.

At this time.

After struggling for a moment, Xia Mu suddenly frowned and stopped moving.

It wasn't because of Xiaoyao and Ziyu's indignant looks, nor because Xia Mu felt embarrassed after seeing the passersby attracted by his sudden shout.

Rather, it was because, after Xia Mu let out a howl, he suddenly realized something.

As someone who never passed English in nine years of compulsory education, Xia Mu's memory of "Bohemian Rhapsody" only extends to that one note just now.

So even if Xiaoyao and Ziyu hadn't stopped her, Xia Mu would have soon fallen into the same problem that most people encounter when singing English songs: she would sing one line and then start humming.

Of course, Xia Mu would never tell anyone about something so embarrassing.

So, to cover it up, Xia Mu gently patted her two little hands that were pressed against her mouth.

"Sorry, I suddenly had an inspiration and couldn't help but speak up. I'm really sorry if I startled you!"

"Haha, I see! I've also played air bass when I suddenly had a burst of inspiration before!"

Homiga seemed to have believed Xia Mu's nonsense.

However, Xiaoyao and Ziyu did not trust Xia Mu's words at all.

Having traveled with Natsuki for so long, the two women, putting aside other aspects, were at least exceptionally familiar with how Natsuki behaved when he lied.

So, Xiaoyao immediately stepped forward.

"Nonsense!"

"If what you just said is true, then your reaction would definitely be something like, 'Oh, this is the inspiration I finally came up with, so I'll punish each of you with eight hundred dollars!'"

Although she wasn't wearing makeup, Xiaoyao's performance was still incredibly vivid and captivating.

And after that, Xiaoyao even pushed up her glasses in the air.

"But you used that doting tone you use when you're talking to your cat, so there's only one truth: your explanation was just to cover something up!"

Clap clap clap!

Ziyu couldn't help but applaud Xiaoyao's brilliant reasoning.

But soon, she stopped what she was doing in Xia Mu's heartbroken eyes, as if she had been betrayed.

"Th-that..."

Ziyu looked at Xia Mu and Xiaoyao, who seemed to be seeking her support from the left and right, and found herself in an extremely awkward situation.

Should I choose Natsuki or Haruka?!
