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

"Crow~"

A Corviknight was attracted by the glitter on the ground, and without hesitation, it swooped down and snatched the coin from the Money-Grubber's hand. Then, the Corviknight demonstrated its superb flying skills.

After a flap of his wings, he flew directly down the steps.

As he lifted up countless girls' skirts, he glided up the stairs as if flying.

"Shu?"

Suo Cailing, who had just sat down on the ground, looked at his empty hands and blinked in disbelief.

No?

Where are my gold coins?

Where is my last gold coin? Where is that little darling who was just encouraging me not to give up?!

Looking left and right, after failing to find any coins, the Money-Seeking Spirit suddenly remembered the strong wind from earlier. So, it immediately stood up, put its little hand in front of its eyes, and began to gaze into the distance.

Then it saw the Steel-Armored Raven that had caused so much commotion and cursing, and the gleaming gold coin in its beak.

"Slurp!"

You thief!

You thief with your whole mouth blackened!

Suo Cailing started cursing the steel-armored raven with its blackened mouth, jumping up and down.

Just as the Money Spirit was blessing Corviknight as it was knocked down by the others, Natsuki, who had just pulled out a Goodolite Poké Ball, also shuddered with a sudden cry.

"My Poké Ball!"

"Caw caw caw!"

Seeing the human who suddenly crouched down at its cries, the Corviknight let out a wicked laugh.

However, the next moment, his voice suddenly stopped as if it had been choked.

"Crow (Pink Bully?!)"

"Clang (Material: a giant bird?!)"

Although both screamed in surprise, their emotions were completely different.

Steelraven recalled its harrowing experiences of being attacked by Pink Bullies in various regions of Padia, while the Skillful Blacksmith remembered the birds that had contributed greatly to her great hammer.

Just then, Natsuki, who had finally caught the Poké Ball and prevented it from rolling down the stairs, raised his head.

"I'm going to pluck all your fur today!!"

Xia Mu's voice was like a starting pistol.

As soon as Xia Mu finished speaking, the skilled blacksmith and the steel-armored crow acted simultaneously.

"crow!"

"Clang!"

The Steel-Armored Raven took flight, while the Master Blacksmith leaped directly onto a nearby building to begin the chase.

Seeing this, Xia Mu also unleashed his clay giant.

"Chase after them!"

boom!

The clay giant instantly carried Xia Mu into the sky like a missile.

At this moment, the passersby around finally realized what was happening.

"What a huge clay giant!"

"We must teach that bastard a lesson!"

"Keep it up, skilled blacksmith!"

Lively cheers erupted in the square.

This enthusiastic cheering also reached Orange Academy.

Although they couldn't hear clearly, both Ye Ci, the chairman of the board of directors of Orange Academy and president of the Padia Alliance, and Principal Claver, who were waiting for Bai Leia and her group at the gate of Orange Academy, showed puzzled expressions.

Why is it suddenly so lively?

"Maybe it's Blueberry Academy students fighting against our students!"

Amid Claver's laughter, Ye Ci suddenly thought of that problem child who had been certified by Aoki and whom Principal Xi Lan had reminded countless times.

“Speaking of which, you should keep a close eye on that kid named Xia Mu. According to Qing Mu, he set up a huge gambling operation in just two days at Blueberry Academy, and was even arrested by Officer Jenny. And he’ll be attending the Taijing Training Program for at least a month and a half…”

Upon hearing Chairman Ye Ci's reminder, Clavel's expression also turned serious.

"Don't worry, although I've only been the principal for a short time, I have great faith in the teachers. We will absolutely protect the school and prevent that child from harming a single tree or blade of grass here. Moreover, we have already prepared a meticulous plan..."

Before Clavel could finish speaking, a sudden scream rang out from above them.

"crow!!"

boom!

With a loud bang, the lawn outside the entrance hall was instantly sprayed with debris, and at the same time, they heard a smug laugh.

"Hehehe, flying low over the city, not only startled me, but also dared to mock me. Today, I won't be Xia Mu if I don't pluck all your feathers out!!"

Upon hearing the familiar name, the two looked up and saw the man standing on the arm of the clay giant.

boom!

As the Clay Golem slowly descended, the energy emanating from its feet not only dispersed the smoke, revealing the Steel Crow and the Master Blacksmith, but also turned the grass beneath its feet to ashes.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ci couldn't help but glance at Clavel beside her.

It won't damage a single plant or tree!

"..."

Claver suddenly realized that his position as principal would be very difficult.

However, having been warned by his old friend Xi Lan, Clavel quickly calmed down and stopped Xia Mu from plucking the fur.

"Hello, you must be Xia Mu. I'm Claver, the principal of Orange Academy. And you are..."

Xia Mu turned his head to look.

Clavel, with her white center-parted hair, resembles the Cantonese double ponytail hairstyle of President Ye Ci.

After recognizing the two, Xia Mu immediately began to explain.

"Well... the main problem was that this Steel-armored Raven was causing a commotion by flying low over the city, and I was just doing my part!"

Xia Mu didn't want to leave a difficult impression when she first enrolled in school.

Chapter 239 Ye Ci: Want

However, Xia Mu's idea was obviously useless.

Although Xia Mu tried to present a good image to Clavel, Clavel's expression immediately became complicated when he saw the skilled blacksmith behind Xia Mu, who was holding a large handful of feathers, and the Steel Crow whose entire rear end had become bald.

Following Clavel's gaze, Xia Mu saw the dry grass beneath his feet and the Steel-Armored Raven beneath the Blacksmith's feet.

"Sister Snake, the grassy field!"

"Flower-shaped Sea Lion, Life-giving Water Drop!"

Snivy and Sea Lion immediately emerged from their Poké Balls to wipe Xia Mu's bottom.

"despair!"

"Flowers~"

The shimmering green light and the water droplets brimming with life energy complemented each other, and in the next moment, the traces left by the Claydol's landing and the Steel Raven's fall vanished instantly.

Seeing this, Ye Ci raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The energy of the grassy field seeps into the ground, then stimulates the grass roots to grow rapidly over a large area... The control and skill proficiency are quite good!"

As the top champion of the Padiya region, Ye Ci's judgment is naturally beyond question.

Especially with the keen eye honed from years of searching the Padia region for talent capable of dominating the Pokémon League in order to promote the Padia League, Ye Ci only glanced at Xia Mu's Pokémon before confirming one thing.

He's a real talent!

want to!

As someone who can appoint an eight-year-old girl as one of the Elite Four, have students join the League to work, and have gym leaders concurrently serve as Elite Four members, Ye Ci's heart is as black as her face.

Therefore, at that moment, she immediately felt an urge to keep Xia Mu in the Padiya region.

But Ci also understood the principle that haste makes waste.

Therefore, she simply buried this impulse in her heart, preparing to invite Xia Mu to join the Padia Alliance when the time was right.

[Until then, let Clavel work hard to make Natsuki feel at home and increase her goodwill towards the Padia region...]

With his hands behind his back, standing ramrod straight, he nodded subtly.

Let's make things difficult for Principal Claver!

Just as Ye Ci made up his mind, Clavel, who was talking to Xia Mu, seemed to sense something and shuddered.

It seems like someone is trying to harm me?

After cautiously looking around, Claver, noticing nothing amiss, shook his head, dismissing his earlier reaction as an illusion.

Under these circumstances, Bai Leiya and the others finally arrived at the gate of Orange Academy after traversing a long staircase.

Seeing the Blueberry students gradually gathering at the entrance, Claver immediately stepped forward.

"Teacher Bai Leiya! You've traveled a long way, you must be tired!"

"No, that's not true at all. On the contrary, I would say that you've had a hard time during this period!"

Bai Leiya couldn't help but glance at Xia Mu not far away, and Clavel also noticed this gaze.

Therefore, the words "not hard work" stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

However, Clavel had been through countless ups and downs, so he quickly recovered and changed the subject.
