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

After cleanly and efficiently shutting down Xia Mu and Wan Long, those two shameless guys, Zi Yu simply picked up the two idiots and said goodbye to Kou Sha.

"Excuse me, farewell!"

Seeing this, Xiaoyao was stunned.

"No, your art style has completely changed! Where did you hide that adorable Ziyu from before?!"

In Xiaoyao's eyes, at this moment, Ziyu transformed from a little angel into a legendary Valkyrie, her every move exuding sharpness and elegance.

Those cute, thick eyebrows and fair, round face also became much more solemn at this moment. In fact, if Xia Mu saw Zi Yu at this moment, he would definitely shout something like "Beidou Assassination Fist" or "You are already dead."

After all, in other people's eyes at this moment, Zi Yu was surrounded by pink battle aura.

As Ziyu's figure gradually disappeared, Xiaoyao no longer had time to continue her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing).

"Mr. Kosha, I'm coming to challenge the gym tomorrow. Sorry to bother you!"

After apologizing to Kosa, Xiaoyao picked up the cup and drank all the tea in it.

"Oh, right, and this too!"

Xiaoyao grabbed a handful of cookies from the coffee table meant for guests, then quickly chased after Ziyu.

"..."

Faced with this sudden development, Kou Sha remained silent for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a few words.

"These people are so avant-garde! No wonder they can hang out together..."

As Kou Sha marveled at the "unique and beautiful land" of the Union, Zi Yu, along with Xia Mu and Wan Long, arrived at the nearby Sunflower Monster Park.

Bang!

Bang!

After tossing the two idiots onto the lawn, Zi Yu took a deep breath, and then...

"Wow, how could I do something like that in front of other people? It's so embarrassing!!"

Ziyu, covering her head to prevent herself from crouching, let out a scream using a groundhog emoji.

At this moment, the caring older brother Xia Mu comes online.

"It's all Wanlong's fault! Everything you did was just! Diablo!"

"Who is Diablo? Can you please stop mixing up all these other pink-haired characters with me? One minute it's Lonely, the next it's Anya, I have no idea who they are!"

Zi Yu was even angrier.

It was clearly you who caused this mess, and now you're acting all innocent and provoking me.

But just as Ziyu's shame was overshadowed by anger, Wanlong also got up from the ground.

"It's all your fault, yet you're trying to shift the blame onto me... Prepare to die, Wanlong Flying Kick!"

To Zi Yu's astonishment, Xia Mu and Wan Long started fighting again.

At that moment, the noisy environment seemed to quiet down, and the movements of passersby slowed down. The aloof and independent Miss Ziyu realized something.

When those two are hanging out together, I have to put in a lot more effort to look after Xia Mu.

and so!

"I'm shameless today!!"

The God of War, Zi Yu—joins the battlefield!!

……

The next day.

Haruka passed the gym test.

Xiaoyao found delicious food at a street stall.

Xiaoyao meets Jasmine, a homeless artist who wears a butterfly bow.

Xiaoyao...

"Wait a minute? Why aren't Xia Mu and Zi Yu up yet?!"

After being completely distracted by the food at the stalls after challenging the gym, Haruka finally realized this and took out her phone.

"Ziyu? Where are you?!"

Not only did they not come to watch their own gym test, but now that their challenge is over, they still haven't shown up...

It's just that I played around in the park all day yesterday, accidentally bumped into an artist who was painting, got covered in his paint, and was laughed at by myself and my cat.

Is it really necessary to be so shy?!

But when faced with Xiaoyao's question, Ziyu's expression became extremely flustered.

"Xiaoyao, come quick! Xiamu is fighting with a Tutu dog!!"

???

Xiaoyao was stunned, and Miss Jasmine, who was wearing ripped jeans and covered in paint, was also stunned.

"They're fighting with a Tutu dog?! Are they humans?!"

Under Miss Jasmine's curious gaze, Xiaoyao nodded hesitantly.

"Xia Mu's species should be human, right..."

May wasn't quite sure if this guy, who had a bit of superpowers and a nasty personality like a Dark-type Pokémon, could actually be considered human.

Xiaoyao's reaction immediately piqued Jasmine's curiosity.

Therefore, after Ziyu revealed her and Xiamu's current location, Moli immediately followed Xiaoyao there out of curiosity.

then.

After passing through a dense crowd.

"You drew something that looks like dog shit, and you still have the nerve to ask me for money? I didn't even blame you for drawing me like this!"

"Tu wang Tu wang!"

"What are you barking about? I can't understand a word you say. If you're so capable, write it down!"

"Tu wang Tu wang!"

The person and the dog were arguing fiercely.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao and Jasmine exchanged glances and finally saw Ziyu, who was hesitant in the distance.

"Zi Yu, I'm here!"

After waving to Ziyu, Xiaoyao immediately chose to walk through the crowd to approach Ziyu, and Ziyu did the same.

Finally, the two women met up halfway.

After they met up, Xiaoyao immediately asked the question that concerned her most at that moment.

How did Xia Mu and Tu Tu start arguing?

"Um...actually..."

Through Ziyu's explanation, Xiaoyao and Moli understood everything.

It turns out that not long after Xiaoyao went out to challenge Koza on her own, Ziyu overcame her shame and decided to go to the dojo to cheer for Xiaoyao. However, after Xiamu and Ziyu went out, they were bothered by a Tutu dog.

Tutu Dog wanted to draw for Natsuki, and Natsuki, thinking she could get it for free, happily agreed.

then……

Tutu Dog drew people looking just like Picasso, but amidst Xia Mu's complaints that it "didn't look like him at all," Tutu Dog flicked its tail and drew Xia Mu's face exactly like the one on the paper.

Eventually, the two of them started arguing.

However, rather than arguing... Xia Mu, who couldn't understand TuTu's language at all, was just launching a one-sided attack, which made TuTu very angry, and then the two started fighting.

Hearing this bizarre story unfold, both Xiaoyao and Moli were speechless.

However, after the tiny butterfly fly whispered something in Jasmine's ear, Jasmine's expression froze slightly.

"I see!"

Chapter 270 Have you heard my story?

As a renowned street artist, Jasmine is no ordinary woman; she possesses a very powerful special ability.

Jasmine can understand Ribbon's language, and through Ribbon, she can understand the inner thoughts of all Pokémon.

Therefore, according to Butterfly's account, Jasmine at this moment was even more knowledgeable about the situation than Ziyu.

"Please hear me out!"

Who are you?

"Tuwang?"

Amidst the puzzled gazes of Xia Mu and Tutu, Jasmine spoke softly.

"I'm a street artist, and I'm good at communicating, so how about I give you a reasonable explanation?"

Xia Mu looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared.

then……

Are you from the Alola region?

"Hmm? You've heard my story?"

"No, but your face is screaming with accidents!"

Xia Mu was speechless as he looked at the various colorful paints on Jasmine's body.

I thought it was just a painted face in the game, but I didn't expect you to look like this in real life too!

In fact, Xia Mu recognized Jasmine's identity as soon as he saw her.

Hailing from the Alola region, she is known as the "wandering battle artist." In the game, she is the captain who controls Fairy Z, and passing her test will earn you Fairy-type Z-Crystals.

However, according to Natsuki's previous investigation of the Alola region, there is currently no concept of "captain" in Alola. The simplest way to obtain Z Crystals is to go through the Island Tour and obtain them after passing the trials of the Island King and Island Queen.

According to Natsuki's reasoning, either the Alola region decided to formalize after Ash became the Alola Champion, which led to the emergence of the title 'Captain', or Molly was just an ordinary street artist.
