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

Recently, only Xia Mu and a live streamer dressed as a mascot have left a deep impression on her.

Of course, compared to these things, what Qishu cares about more is actually...

Xia Mu always encounters unexpected events.

You encounter ruins in the desert, meet a young blacksmith while exploring an iron ant nest, and are even given pearls by a pearl oyster while sea fishing...

It was this unexpectedness that touched Qishu, making her want to collaborate with Xiamu on a video.

Xia Mu needs people with high energy; I need surprises.

We're a match made in heaven!

Thinking about all the possible scenarios that might occur after she and Natsuki cooperated, Ms. Kiki couldn't help but chuckle.

"If I could do a collaboration episode with this guy, my popularity and channel subscriber count might just skyrocket like Mama Eel King leaping over the Dragon Gate!"

Thinking of that wonderful scene, Miss Qishu immediately raised her small hand, which was hidden by her oversized windbreaker.

"Xia Xiaomu, answer me now!!"

……

As Ms. Qishu shouted, Xia Mu seemed to sense something and picked up his phone.

Then, just as Natsuki was about to open the Pokémon Sound app...

Beep!

Xia Mu's phone suddenly rang.

"True wild rice?"

Natsuki answered the phone with a slight look of doubt, and then Makomo's impatient voice immediately rang out.

"Xia Mu, our business has encountered a major setback!"

? ?

I just finished writing my business plan, and my grand undertaking to build the Pokémon Penguin Company and then become a ruthless money-making machine has encountered a major setback?!

Xia Mu was shocked and also puzzled.

So, Xia Mu quickly asked a question.

"What exactly happened? Tell me calmly! Did Aoki find out that we wanted to use their money to do our thing?"

"Oh, no, Mr. Aoki left a long time ago. Actually, it's like this..."

It was only through Makomo's explanation that Natsuki learned the truth.

While she was busy with work, a group of guys calling themselves the "Dream Phantom Thieves" attacked the research institute where Makomo was located.

The phantom thieves, in a display of martial virtue, revealed their purpose to Makomo.

That is……

"They plan to use Device C to enter other people's dreams, then extract information from those dreams to commit theft!"

Xia Mu was taken aback.

"Can Device C really do this?"

"Yes, as long as more dream energy is used, it can answer any question while the person is asleep!"

"...With this capability, why don't we go into Officer Jenny's business? I think Interpol would definitely love that!"

Upon hearing what Natsuki said, Makomo's eyes immediately lit up.

But next second.

"No, that's not the main point right now. The main issue is that they've taken all my research data. If that data is lost, it will take me a very long time to get back to normal research..."

"So, without data, my holographic online game?"

"It's gone!"

"The idea of ​​doing business with Officer Jenny and then having her bow down in worship..."

That's all!

Xia Mu finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Damn it, how dare they touch my things!"

Xia Mu suddenly stood up.

"Kitty, what should we do if someone tries to steal our things?"

"Meow! (Kill them!)"

The cat gave the answer without hesitation.

Chapter 217 Xia Mu, I'm coming in!

Xia Mu was very satisfied with the cat's attitude.

So, amidst the cat's bloodthirsty cries, Natsuki began asking Makomo on the other end of the phone about the Phantom Thieves.

But just as Natsuki was trying to figure out the direction the Phantom Thieves had escaped based on the information given by Makomo, a sharp police siren came from outside the window.

Because of his status as a lucky person, upon hearing this voice, a guess instantly appeared in Xia Mu's mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Mu immediately went to the hotel balcony.

On the dark streets, the red and blue lights of the police sirens were so dazzling and eye-catching.

Even without binoculars, based on his years of experience being hunted by Officer Jenny, Natsuki easily guessed the true identity of the three-wheeled motorcycle under the siren.

"Officer Jenny?"

After a slight pause, Xia Mu looked at the phone in her hand with a strange expression.

"Oh right, you just said Officer Jenny arrived and is chasing those guys, right?"

"Hmm! Miss Officer Jenny seems to be nearby, so we arrived at the research institute very quickly..."

"That's good. I think I've found those guys?"

"Huh? That fast?!"

Makomo was somewhat shocked by Natsuki's efficiency.

I'd only just given out some seemingly insignificant information, and Xia Mu had already found the Dream Phantom Thieves?!

Amid Makomo's shocked voice, Natsuki glanced at the cat beside him, then at the sports car that Officer Jenny was chasing.

"Emmm...cat!"

"Meow!"

Tire Cat understood immediately and went to the balcony. She then gave a thumbs-up to the rapidly approaching car in the distance.

A nut seed the size of a human head appeared out of thin air.

call out!

boom!

The cat has a perfect grasp of distance and time.

The seed bomb landed precisely in front of the car, causing an explosion and sending the car out of control, crashing into a fire hydrant on the side of the street.

squeak--

The sound of sharp brakes came from Officer Jenny's motorcycle.

Without the slightest hesitation, Officer Jenny immediately looked up at the hotel building not far away.

then……

"Natsuki?!"

Officer Jenny would never mistake the guy she'd been searching for all day.

So, upon seeing the guy grinning smugly at her from the hotel balcony, she immediately recognized him.

"hateful……"

Officer Jenny's voice sounded strange, a mixture of frustration and resentment.

Why did it have to be this guy who helped?!

Thinking about how he had searched for Xia Mu because he was worried that Xia Mu would cause trouble, he realized that the guy who helped him capture the bad guys on the way was none other than Xia Mu, the 'jinx' he was so wary of.

Thinking about all this, Officer Jenny felt a surge of shame and intense resentment.

How can I possibly urge you to leave Feiyun City when you're like this?!

but.

Looking at Natsuki smiling happily at her from the balcony, Officer Jenny suddenly had a strange thought because of Natsuki's good deed.

Teachers always say that you have no right to speak without investigation, so could it be that...

Xia Mu was misunderstood by others simply because he was too mischievous. Maybe he's actually a good kid?

Otherwise, why wasn't Xia Mu arrested and severely disciplined by the police after causing so much trouble?!

Officer Jenny thought about it more and more and it seemed like that was the case.

After all, judging from Xia Mu's current location, he should have already met up with Feng Lu Guanzhu and the others and learned about his attitude towards him from those girls. Under such circumstances, Xia Mu was still willing to lend him a helping hand.

Thinking of all this, Officer Jenny, feeling a little guilty, gave Natsume a sweet smile.

Eager to apprehend the suspect, Officer Jenny immediately led Hayok to the sports car with its front end deformed. As a result, she did not see Natsuki's puzzled expression on the hotel balcony.

"The Dream Thieves, you have been arrested for robbery, dangerous driving, and other offenses!!"

Click!

Click!

Click!

After handcuffing the three burly men in pink bodysuits, Officer Jenny immediately contacted other officers who were on their way to provide backup.

Just as things were getting lively downstairs from the hotel, Xia Mu scratched his head in confusion.
