Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Xia Chen shrugged and asked in return, "Is there anything you need to add?"

Qi Shu subconsciously shook his head. "Aren't you the one who wants to discuss the details of the collaboration? Why are you asking me?"

Xia Chen smiled matter-of-factly and said, "Then we're done talking. It's time for a break."

"Thanks..."

Qi Shu suddenly spoke.

Now that things have come to this point, how could she not know that Xia Chen was pulling her ashore from that endless sea of ​​work?

Although it was only half a day...

Xia Chen didn't answer, but tilted his head to look at Mingyi, "By the way, there are still a lot of rides at Niangguang Amusement Park that we didn't get to try yesterday, right? How about we go play them again later?"

Mingyi smiled knowingly and nodded in agreement, "Great! Perfect timing, the Blazing Ace and the others haven't had enough fun yet!"

She looked at Qishu with a smile and invited, "Sister Qishu, come with us."

Qi Shu hesitated, "I'm afraid the fans will find out..."

Xia Chen complained, "With this contrast between you and your live stream persona, who would recognize you as Qi Shu!"

The strange tree had no answer and could only nod.

…………

Just as Xia Chen said, after playing in the amusement park for a long time, no one realized that this beautiful girl with delicate, doll-like features was Qi Shu, the gym leader and city image ambassador of their Nimbus City.

On the contrary, quite a few people recognized Xia Chen, and a group of people surrounded him... while the elves around him wanted to take photos with him.

The most popular were undoubtedly Sylveon and Gardevoir, and the number of people surrounding them was enough to form a reinforced platoon.

With so many people, there wasn't time to take photos with everyone individually. With the help of Rotom mobile phone, a photograph titled "Master Yi and Her Fans" was created.

Zoroark and Milotic weren't surrounded by many people, not because they were unpopular, but because they seemed aloof and unapproachable.

After a few fans went over and realized they were making a fool of themselves, no one dared to bother them anymore.

The least popular one, of course, is their trainer, Xia Chen.

Only a few people who were rejected by Zoroark and Milos settled for a photo with them.

Mingyi and Qishu sat on a chair not far away, eating ice cream and chatting while waiting for Xia Chen.

"Isn't Sister Qishu a local of Niangguang City? Has she never been here before?"

Qi Shu had been acting like a curious child ever since they entered the amusement park, and Ming Yi finally had a chance to ask him this question.

Qi Shu shook his head. "I've never been here before, and not all people in Niangguang City... are rich."

A smile is the best thing to bring people closer together. After a morning of sightseeing, the two became much closer. Qi Shu was no longer as distant as he had been at the restaurant, and they started talking more.

Her expression hardened slightly as she said, "Even now, slums still exist in Niangguang City."

Mingyi was slightly taken aback; Qishu's pointed words were practically announcing his own identity.

Did she grow up in a slum?

That's not very realistic...

Keep in mind, Qi Shu is only twenty-three years old.

The resources required to grow into such a young gym leader are by no means insignificant.

It's not that it's impossible, but to get to this point from the slums in a short time, you'd have to be at least... as outstanding as Xia Chen, right?

It's not that I'm praising Xia Chen, but if you're not like Xia Chen, who has exceptional talent as a trainer and can also earn a lot of money in certain side businesses...

Mingyi couldn't imagine that a child from the slums could grow into the gym leader of the second largest city in the Padiya region within ten years.

No, if it's Qishu, perhaps there's also... the capital behind her?

Recalling Xia Chen's speculation yesterday and what she had seen and heard today, Mingyi felt that the conjecture was quite likely.

Because Qi Shu's behavior in front of her agent didn't act like that of a leader at all...

Agents, at best, are merely a microcosm of capital.

Therefore, it is almost self-evident who truly controls the Brewing Light Dojo.

…………

"Cuck!"

The croaking of the frog interrupted Mingyi's thoughts.

Looking up, I saw that my Pokémon had just gotten off the ride called [Roller Coaster].

"So, was it fun?"

Mingyi patted the Liangjilong, which was swaying behind her and clearly hadn't recovered yet, and asked with a smile.

The dizzy and confused Liangjilong didn't waste any words and immediately buried his head in Mingyi's arms.

The aloof Frog Bro shook his head nonchalantly, as if to say, "I don't feel anything at all at this level," but his slightly trembling webbed feet betrayed his true feelings.

Cinderace, who loves to compete with Froakie, ruthlessly exposed this scene, and then the embarrassed and annoyed Froakie spat out a mouthful of foam, and the two Pokémon started their usual chasing and fighting.

Over there, Xia Chen, having finished dealing with the enthusiastic fans, led Sylveon and Gardevoir through the encirclement and walked over.

He said with a pained expression, "Should we go back? The reaction to that video yesterday was huge; it feels like the whole amusement park is full of my fans now..."

Mingyi nodded nonchalantly, "Sure, where shall we go next?"

Xia Chen smiled and waved his phone, "Sunflower Restaurant, we've got a job!"

Having finally escaped the dojo, Kiju naturally followed along, half-heartedly.

For Kiju, everything outside the dojo was new and exciting.

Whether it was the amusement park or participating in Xia Chen and his team's "Catch the Money-Gathering Spirit" activity, it was a different side of the world that she had never experienced before.

It wasn't until nightfall that she realized she had spent a long time without spotlights or cameras.

The excessive relaxation even gave her a sense of unreality and anxiety.

After being taken back to the Brewmaster Gym by Adrina, all these feelings turned into a familiar sense of oppression.

Listening to her agent's rambling, she even began to doubt whether what she had experienced during the day was real or an illusion.

In the bustling amusement park, she experienced for the first time the feeling of being in a public area yet unnoticed.

She can eat ice cream without restraint, something she wasn't allowed to do because of her figure; she can freely visit amusement parks she never had time to go to before; and she's even made people she could perhaps call friends...

But upon returning to this cage-like dwelling, everything vanished completely.

So clean that it left no trace except for the memories in my mind.

"...We're opening an hour earlier tomorrow, so I'll have the attendant wake you up an hour earlier, understand?"

"Ah."

Qi Shu unconsciously emitted a nasal sound.

Adrina nodded in satisfaction. "Then you should get some rest. I'm leaving now. Oh, and please prepare for Saturday's event as well."

"I see."

Saturday... going deep-sea fishing with Xia Chenming and the others would be so much fun, right?

Qi Shu's thoughts drifted further and further away, as if that day had already arrived.

…………

Saturday is neither too close nor too far, only two days away.

These past two days, Xia Chen and Ming Yi have been living very regularly.

In the morning, I first went to challenge the gym, but failed. Then at noon, I went to a restaurant to eat and catch a Money Spirit.

The afternoon is free time, and the two usually choose to find a gym to train their Pokémon or visit some of the more famous attractions in Breeze City.

In the evening, just like at noon, you can freeload at the restaurant, catch the money-gathering spirit, and collect three coins in a row.

After four meals and emptying the four treasure chests of the Money-Gathering Spirit, Xia Chen now had more than five hundred gold coins in his hands, nearly two hundred of which were completely mutated coins.

My own money-gathering spirit still shows no signs of evolving.

Xia Chen was not discouraged. His journey in Padiya had only just begun. Water dripping on water will eventually wear away stone.

Xia Chen was also keeping track of what was happening on Qi Shu's side, and she was livestreaming the dojo challenge as usual these past two days.

Looking at the still radiant and energetic Qishu on the screen, Xia Chen felt quite emotional.

Is this really the same girl I saw a couple of days ago...?

Two days passed quickly, and before we knew it, Saturday had arrived.

As a coastal city, and a highly developed one at that, Yachts are certainly a staple in Nyangguang City.

Xia Chen certainly didn't buy one on such a large scale; he only rented one.

Even so, the two-day rental of the luxury yacht, as well as the various expenses such as hiring elf crew members, cost Xia Chen nearly 100,000 yuan.

So, at 10 a.m. on a sunny and breezy morning, everyone was present and everything was ready.

woo-

With a melodious whistle, the ship slowly began to move under the blue sky and white clouds.

The luxury yacht named [Electric Swallow] kicked up white waves as it set sail from Lota Port in Niangguang City, slowly heading towards the Paga Sea between Padiya and Galar.

…………

Although the main purpose of this trip was to experience sea fishing, the trip was expected to last two days, so it was impossible to start fishing right away.

Inside the cockpit, Captain Xia Chen and First Mate Xian Bu were studying the intelligent driving system.

This yacht is expensive for a reason; the steering system alone is staffed by Rotom, a master of navigation and ocean knowledge.

This further demonstrates that the electronic ghosts in the Elf World are more trusted by people than artificial intelligence.

As for his own phone, Rotom, it served as the photographer for this deep-sea fishing trip.

The intelligent driving system was simple and easy to understand, and with Rotom's guidance, the two of them quickly figured it out.

After setting the target location and speed, Xia Chen and Xianbu stepped out of the cockpit.
