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

and……

You did this for?!

Aoki was speechless. He had actually thought of many requests that Natsuki might make, including things like wanting to fight the King of Heaven or seeking his guidance when encountering difficulties.

But Aoki never expected that Natsuki's request would be so realistic.

only……

"You're just trying to bribe me like this?!"

Looking at the fried rice on the plate in his hand, and then at the hot water being poured from the thermos next to him, Aoki never imagined that he would one day become so cheap.

Even that heartless Chairman Ye Ci knew he was going to give me a high salary!

However, when faced with Aoki staring at him with wide eyes, Natsuki had a completely matter-of-fact expression on his face.

"if not?"

Aoki isn't handsome, and he lacks worldwide fame because he's always busy with work.

With no other trending topics to leverage, and only his identities as Elite Four member and Gym Leader available, wouldn't he only be able to use them to do things for himself?

Xia Mu was realistically thinking about some things that would be extremely offensive to Aoki.

However, at this time, Aoki was unaware of Natsuki's presumptuous thoughts.

He glanced at the clay giants sunbathing nearby, then at Tire Cat and the blacksmith playing with the Flowery Sea Lion, and finally fixed his gaze on the Green Vine Snake, who was still busy.

"With the strength of your Pokémon, passing the Crystal Training shouldn't be a problem. There's no need for these underhanded tactics!"

"..."

How could I not know I'm incredibly awesome?!

Xia Mu glanced at Qing Mu speechlessly.

"The Taijing Training Program isn't a test you can pass just by being good at fighting..."

The Crystal Training is a test used in the Padia region to screen applicants for eligibility to use Crystal Beads, and only trainers who successfully pass the Crystal Training can obtain Crystal Beads.

The process is actually quite simple. First, Orange Academy will teach applicants about the knowledge of teratogenization. Then, they will go to the Padia region to find a Gym Leader to battle. After gaining the Gym Leader's approval, they can take a practical test. After passing the test of another Gym Leader, they can successfully master the power called teratogenization.

but……

Because the strictness of trainers varies from dojo to dojo, the difficulty of participating in the Taijing training also varies.

Hell difficulty: Psychic Lip and Ice-type Gym Leader Glussa; Normal difficulty: Water-type Gym Leader Hyde, Ghost-type Gym Leader Ryme, and Normal-type Gym Leader Aoki; Easy difficulty: Electric-type Gym Leader Kijuh, Bug-type Gym Leader Aqua, and Grass-type Gym Leader Koza.

Generally speaking, the more difficult a gym leader's personality is, the more difficult their training will be.

Xia Mu was also very self-aware. Given his mischievous nature, if he encountered a good-natured gym leader, his training in Taijing would go smoothly.

However, if he encounters a trainer with a bad temper, Natsuki feels that he is very likely to suffer the biggest setback of his life.

In order to prevent Taijing Training from becoming a stain on her life, Xia Mu immediately held Qing Mu's hands tightly.

"Please, this is a once-in-a-lifetime request!"

Xia Mu used the request opportunity that she had just refreshed today without hesitation.

As she spoke, Xia Mu even used her most proficient skill of moral blackmail.

"Qing Teng She has loved cooking since she was a child, so she painstakingly taught herself human writing and then learned to cook online. Thinking about those days and nights... I really wish she could visit her two mentors, A Feng and Hai Dai!"

"You wouldn't want to shatter the dreams of such a hardworking child, would you?!"

As a former office worker, Xia Mu knows all too well that office workers, while afraid of the light, also yearn for it.

Now, seeing the efforts of the Green Vine Snake, you must feel a warm glow from its corpse!

Xia Mu was confident that this move would definitely defeat Qing Mu.

but……

"You're not a trainer from the Padilla region?!"

Aoki seems to have missed the point.

Aoki was pleasantly surprised to find that although the Pokémon included both Blacksmith and Tirion, which are common in the Padmé region, they were not from the Padmé region.

The Padiya region is saved! The education system in the Padiya region has not collapsed!

but.

"Aren't you being a little presumptuous?!"

Seeing Aoki's relieved expression, Natsuki was speechless.

As a Unova succubus and the future Carlos succubus, this was the first time he had encountered someone who disliked him so much.

"Damn it, I will bring my charm to the Pardia region, not once, not twice, but countless times! I will become the succubus queen of Pardia!"

What kind of king do you want to be?

Throughout his many years as a trainer, Aoki had heard of people wanting to become Water-type masters, Fire-type masters, Pokémon leaders, and champions, but he had never heard anyone say they wanted to become the Succubus King.

Doesn't this guy have any shame?

Just thinking about those lines made Aoki feel uncomfortable all over, so embarrassed he wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out with his toes, let alone say them out loud in public.

At this moment, Aoki looked at Natsuki as if he were looking at a warrior.

Xia Mu thought that Qing Mu hadn't heard what he just said, so he immediately raised his head and focused his energy in his dantian.

"I said I want it..."

"I was wrong, I promise you, please don't say anymore!"

Aoki interrupted Natsuki without hesitation.

At the same time, feeling the strange looks from the office workers around him, Aoki picked up his briefcase without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I've got it in mind. I'll make the arrangements for you when the time comes..."

After saying that, Aoki prepared to leave without hesitation.

but.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'd believe something that's just talk? Give me a contract!"

Xia Mu immediately took out paper and pen from her bag and chased after Qing Mu.

Seeing this, the Green Vine Snake scratched its head in slight distress and then put away the dishes it had just washed, and also chased after them.

……

Not long after.

squeak--

"Xia Mu, come out here right now!"

She rushed from the fashion street to the battle club, and after learning from the fan girl that Natsuki was moving in the opposite direction, she hurriedly arrived at Central Park and roared.

but……

"If it's the person in the photo, he just left with an office worker!"

Officer Jenny was thrilled to have finally found Natsuki's trail.

"Do you know where they went?"

"This one is..."

Seeing the slightly embarrassed expression on the office worker's face, Officer Jenny took a deep breath.

"That's enough, thank you!"

"You're welcome, I'm glad I could help you!"

As the office workers gradually left, Officer Jenny clutched the photo of Natsume tightly in her hand.

"Damn it! I'll stake my dignity as Officer Jenny on catching you today!!"

Without hesitation, Officer Jenny dialed the number of her friend in the transportation department.

"Help me find someone!"

Chapter 214 Holographic Online Game, I'm Going to Make a Fortune!

However, at this time, Xia Mu was unaware that Officer Jenny from Feiyun City was still pursuing him.

Because he distrusted Aoki and insisted that the other party leave some clear proof, Natsuki followed Aoki all the way to his destination.

"here it is?"

Xia Mu stared at the Flying Cloud Dojo in front of him, lost in thought.

"You came to see Master Yati because..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Mu saw Qing Mu make a smooth turn and walk towards the building opposite Fei Yun Dojo.

"No, if you keep doing this, I'm going to go crazy! You'll kill yourself!"

While threatening Aoki, Natsuki quickly followed him into the building.

After taking the elevator to the third floor...

"Hello, I am a staff member of the Padia Alliance. I am here to find Dr. Makomo!"

"Oh, you must be Mr. Aoki. There's a reservation record here. I'll contact Dr. Makomo right away. But... who is this?"

Amidst the puzzled expression of the girl in the white coat, Xia Mu immediately introduced himself with a resentful look, biting the food in his hand.

"I am Xia Xiaomu, a pitiful person who was let down by King Qingmu!"

???

Under the strange gaze of the girl opposite him, Aoki waved his hand weakly.

"Please, please ignore this guy. He's a complete shameless show-off!"

No wonder Aoki is the Flying-type Elite Four member of the Paradis region; he possesses a keen eye and easily saw through Natsuki's true nature.

Then, having made up his mind to continue ignoring Natsuki, Aoki Tenoh continued speaking to the girl in front of him:

"I'm here on behalf of Chairman Yaji, hoping to find out if Dr. Makomo's current research progress allows people to materialize Pokémon in their dreams for battles..."
