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

"Is this guy a pervert?!"

However, Nemo looked puzzled the next second.

"But what is a pervert? Why are you following me?"

"It's probably something like stealing your shoes and socks as material, then putting your flute from music class in your mouth, panting, and imagining kissing you..."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing Xia Mu's explanation, Nemo gasped.

"That's so perverted?"

"Yeah, that's how perverted it is!"

Nemo immediately looked at the tied-up man with extreme disgust. If you had to describe it, Nemo's gaze at that moment was like knowing that your best friend knows that your sexual fetish is sleeping wrapped in mud.

The man was immediately provoked by Nemo's gaze, especially after seeing the passersby around him seem to believe Xia Mu's lies and take out their phones. He could no longer remain silent.

In order to avoid social death, he immediately shouted:

"I'm not a pervert, I'm a private investigator. Nemo's sister asked me to investigate whether Miss Nemo has been deceived by a gigolo!"

"Pretty boy?"

"elder sister?"

Xia Mu and Nemo exchanged a glance, and then Xia Mu immediately saw a handsome guy in Nemo's eyes.

"How dare you call a handsome, dashing man like me a pretty boy? You bastard..."

Xia Mu immediately rushed up and kicked the man twice.

"No... wait, don't hit me!"

While dodging Xia Mu's attacks, the man also wore an innocent expression.

"I never called you a gigolo, so why did you hit me?!"

Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nimo with a puzzled expression.

Didn't he say?

"no!"

Nemo shook her head.

"He really didn't say anything?!"

"despair!"

Snake Sister nodded.

"Um..."

Seeing Xia Mu speechless, the man immediately became excited.

"See, I told you so... I actually find it strange that you're putting yourself in the role of a gigolo. Do you think just anyone can be a gigolo? To do this job, you need good health, excellent emotional intelligence, meticulousness, and sensitivity—all of these are indispensable! Look at yourself and see where you fit the bill?"

"So, I wasn't talking about you!"

Xia Mu thought for a moment.

As a succubus from the Union, her appearance is naturally beyond question.

Having survived Ah Miao's punches, her physical condition is naturally exceptional.

A keen eye for Pokémon, and the ability to perceive the subtle nuances of their emotions...

"You're fucking talking about me!"

Xia Mu raised her leg again.

"wait wait wait……"

The man walked backwards using his buttocks.

"I wasn't talking about you. How could someone as short-tempered and careless as you be considered meticulous and attentive? I never called you a gigolo, and I don't think you are a gigolo at all!"

Seeing the man's sincere expression, Xia Mu remained silent for a moment before slowly withdrawing her leg.

"If the pretty boy isn't me..."

Xia Mu looked at Nemo beside her.

"You've been seeing someone else behind my back?!"

???

Nemo felt the question was familiar, as if she had just heard it somewhere before.

but……

"No, I've only ever fought against you since I met you!"

Nemo answered Xia Mu's question honestly.

Seeing Nimo's genuine expression, Xia Mu immediately turned her gaze back to the man.

"You bastard..."

Upon noticing Xia Mu's dangerous gaze, the private detective shuddered and immediately spilled everything out like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"It was Nemo's sister who noticed that Miss Nemo's spending had changed significantly recently. When Nemo's sister asked her about it, Miss Nemo would always blush and remain silent. So Nemo's sister was worried that the naive Miss Nemo might be deceived by a young man from out of town. Therefore, Nemo's sister specifically asked me to investigate Miss Nemo's recent experiences to prevent any ill-intentioned men from harassing Miss Nemo!"

"..."

Xia Mu blinked.

The man's tongue-twisting explanation left Xia Mu's mind a little confused.

However, it took Xia Mu a short while to realize what was happening.

"Doesn't this still mean I'm a gigolo? Nemo lost all her allowance to me in battles, so I'm the guy who makes Nemo spend money on me!"

"..."

The private investigator chose to lie low.

"Fine, go ahead and hit me if you want..."

He has given up trying to prove that he never said Xia Mu was a gigolo or anything like that.

Seeing the private investigator's performance, Nemo finally realized what was happening.

"So that's what happened... I need to explain to my sister, you come with me!"

After stomping her foot hard, Nemo had the Green Vine Snake untie the private investigator, and then quickly left with him.

Seeing this, Xia Mu scratched the back of his head and made up his mind.

"I'm leaving right after tomorrow's exam!"

Xia Mu didn't know what Nemo's personality was like, nor did he know how Nemo would react to him taking Nemo's allowance.

But in any case... running away is the best policy!

……

……

After answering a series of basic questions, Xia Mu left the test paper on the table and walked out of the classroom.

Compared to Xiaoyao and others who followed the teacher's advice and carefully examined their test papers after finishing to see if they had made any careless mistakes, Xia Mu happily left the classroom with her basketball after completing the test.

While watching the flower-shaped sea lion perform with a basketball on its head, Xia Mu started bothering Qing Mu with his phone.

"I just finished my exams. Have the results been assigned yet? Have my study destinations been decided? My destination and Xiaoyao's destination can't be too far away! I had sandwiches and MooMoo milk for breakfast this morning, and they tasted pretty good! Do you know anything about Mr. Haidai and Ms. Afeng? Do you know what they like? You..."

Aoki, who had just returned to the Padiya region, looked at the messages popping up on his phone and couldn't help but bulge veins on his forehead.

Since Natsuki arrived in the Padiya region, Aoki has been living a miserable life with countless messages every day.

From the initial training assignments to all sorts of miscellaneous things in life, Aoki even knew the strange story of Natsuki waking up every morning with several extra coins on his table after arriving in the Padia region.

Of course, Aoki also knew that Natsuki had caught a pervert at school and wanted him to recommend him as a good citizen of Tsukida City.

However, compared to these things, what Aoki cared about more at this moment was...

"Finally finished the exams?!"

As the King of Padia and the head of the museum, Aoki naturally knew the process of the Taijing training program, and also knew that only those who passed the preliminary basic cultural test could enter the next stage of the training.

Therefore, without knowing whether Natsuki had passed the basic cultural test, Aoki was unable to recommend a gym for Natsuki to go to next.

And now...

"Finally, I can get rid of this guy's harassment!"

Aoki, who looked like he had kidney deficiency, burst into tears of emotion.

[Hachisaku, if Natsuki passes the test, please make sure he takes the test in Circular Town and Bottle City. It would be best if Haruka and Shizuku could also travel along the same route as Natsuki. Please! I'll treat you to dinner next time!]
