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

? ?

Xiaoyao and Ziyu narrowed their eyes slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Meanwhile, inside the Pokémon Center, Tiramisu's ears twitched slightly. After confirming that she heard Natsume's voice, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Officer Jenny's little paw.

Haha, Xia Mu is back!

The cat began to look forward to Xia Mu's harvest.

However, Officer Jenny misunderstood Tire's reaction.

"Haha, you like me that much?"

Officer Jenny stroked the cat's head and laughed heartily.

If I can get the cat to come here, then getting the cricket Xia Mu will be a piece of cake!

Thinking about how Natsuki was always caught doing something bad after she bribed the cat, and how she would find out in advance and stop her, Officer Jenny became even more enthusiastic about Tire Cat.

However, having already completed her task, the cat disdainfully slapped Officer Soryu's right hand away.

"Meow!"

The cat quickly walked towards the door.

I don't want you to touch me, I want Xia Mu to touch me!

???

Looking at her own hands, and then at the cat walking towards the door, Officer Jenny was speechless.

"The feelings of cats and Pokémon are really hard to fathom..."

……

In short, after completing their looting and saying goodbye to Officer Sakura and the others, Natsuki and his companions boarded a bus bound for Flying Cloud City and left Raven City.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way.

Xia Mu and the others finally arrived in Feiyun City safely.

After finding a hotel in the port area and settling in, Xia Mu and his companions waited for Bai Leiya and her group to arrive while enjoying the afternoon at a nearby coffee shop.

"This, this, and this..."

As Xiaoyao happily ordered from the waiter, Xia Mu once again saw the phone number that had been bombarding him with calls.

"Mosimoxi?"

As soon as the call was finally connected, Ms. Qishu's voice, slightly choked with sobs, came through.

"Waaaaah, you finally answered the phone! I almost thought Aoki was playing a trick on me!"

Ms. Kiki's voice was full of excitement and exhilaration.

Especially after thinking about how she had overslept while waiting for Xia Mu's reply and missed today's live stream, she burst into tears.

Damn it, leaving the challenger alone on the opposite platform in the cold wind, I'm definitely going to get yelled at by President Yeci this time!

However, Natsuki was unaware of Kiki's inner thoughts. After hearing the excited voice on the phone, which sounded like that of a die-hard fan, he immediately hung up.

That's ridiculous. Qi Shu is a top-tier Pokémon streamer, why would he be so excited to call a third-rate internet celebrity like me...

They don't even put their heart into lying. I'm a man who's downloaded anti-fraud apps!

As for why it was downloaded, it was mainly because I accidentally deleted it while trying to take off.

Chapter 234 Fraudster?

Xia Mu's thoughts drifted further and further away, but Zi Yu quickly pulled him back.

Seeing Xia Mu's speechless expression, Zi Yu, who was originally trying to lure Tire Miao with a cat toy, showed a curious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"It's a scam call!"

Xia Mu tossed his phone aside and beckoned to the aloof-looking cat with his finger.

"Meow!"

The cat placed its paw directly on Xia Mu's hand, and Xia Mu did not hesitate at all.

Swish!

Pull your hand away and slap it down.

"Meow haha!"

Seeing that Natsuki had missed his shot, the cat let out a smug laugh.

You're still a long way from matching my reaction speed!

"Again!"

"Meow!"

Seeing the cat naturally start playing games with Xia Mu, Zi Yu silently put away the cat toy in her hand, then cupped her little face and looked at Xia Mu curiously.

"What do scam calls look like? I've never encountered one before!"

"How should I put it? Scam calls are those kinds of..."

Xia Mu began to explain while playing games with the cat.

"It's basically like enticing people with money... like, 'I'm so-and-so, you can make a fortune by doing this,' and then they'll get you to send them money..."

As they were talking, Xia Mu looked at the phone that had lit up again and raised an eyebrow at Zi Yu.

Instead of listening to me, let's look at the specifics!

Xia Mu answered the call directly and turned on speakerphone.

"Don't hang up yet, I really am Qi Shu, and I have good news for you!"

'See? I told you so!'

After lip-syncing to Ziyu, Xia Mu also started talking to the scammers on the other end of the phone.

"Oops, sorry, I was playing a Pokémon game, and I got distracted, so she grabbed my phone and hung up!"

"Oh, I see..."

Kiju seemed to believe Natsuki's excuse.

However, at this moment, Tire Cat was very angry.

"Meow!"

That's not the kind of Pokémon that doesn't make sense!

Xia Mu immediately stroked the cat's head to soothe the angry Tire Meow.

"It's my fault, it's my fault!"

Qi Shu seemed to have heard Xia Mu's voice as well, and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, can you tell me more? What good thing is it?"

"Kukuku!"

The strange tree let out its signature laugh.

"I'm telling you, I'm planning to invite you to be a guest on my channel..."

As Qi Shu explained, Xiao Yao and Zi Yu tilted their heads in confusion.

"Why does this person's voice sound the same as Ms. Kiki's?"

"Me too!"

Xia Mu did not hesitate at all.

"It's definitely a voice changer! I always run into guys like that when I play games..."

"Oh, I see!" x2

Xiaoyao and Ziyu thought Xiamu was really knowledgeable.

Not only do they know the tricks of scam calls, but they also know about strange things like voice changers.

Meanwhile, Kiju, who was excitedly recounting his grand plan, sensed that Natsuki's reaction was a bit off.

Am I some kind of extraordinary tree?

Shouldn't he be happy to agree with me after hearing that we're going to collaborate on a video?

Why does he seem so indifferent?

Qishu began to doubt whether he was no longer popular!

However, when Qishu thought about her steadily increasing channel subscribers every day, and then about her video data, she felt that this might be her imagination.

Ultimately, Qishu still felt that Xia Mu was probably the kind of person who was very lively in videos but socially awkward in real life.

Yes! That should be it!

After convincing herself, Kiki ignored Natsuki's cold attitude and continued to talk about her ideas.

"Come find me in the Padia region, and we'll hold a lively event in Niangguang City, or we can go on an adventure together. With my entertaining antics and your unpredictability, we're sure to be a huge hit!"

"Why don't we go explore the Padia Cemetery?"

"Okay, okay!"

Qi Shu thought Xia Mu was simply a genius.

The mystery of the Padiya Crater, combined with the comedic effect of myself and Xia Mu, could definitely create a video that would leave people speechless.

However, Qishu also began to think at this moment.

The Padia Pit isn't something anyone can just enter; it requires the Padia Alliance's approval, and to persuade Chairman Yeci...

"How about I say it's to promote the Parthian region?"

Qishu excitedly clapped his hands, then noticed the phone had been hung up again sometime earlier.
