Elf: Release? Not possible.

“Uh…” The shop assistant was also startled and a little embarrassed, while Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia were speechless. They should have known not to wake him up. It was really embarrassing.

"Even though you say that, we only sell women's perfume here, and I'm working now."

The shop assistant listened to Xiaogang's words while still maintaining an awkward but polite smile, but Xiaogang was petrified after hearing that.

"Um, can you recommend the most popular perfume here?" Xiaoxia was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked immediately.

"Of course! Please follow me."

Seeing this, the young lady quickly and enthusiastically took Xiaoxia to look at the perfumes, while Xiaozhi found a seat and sat down. He was not interested in these things, but he was more patient than Xiaozhi in the anime and would not say things without thinking.

The other shop assistants sitting nearby also looked at Xiaozhi, then whispered to each other and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed from time to time. It was unknown what they were discussing.

Xiaoxia was sitting on the other side. Soon the salesgirl brought a perfume, opened the lid and sprayed it on Xiaoxia's wrist.

"This floral perfume is very suitable for young and cute girls like you! And this smell is not only liked by us humans, but also by Pokémon."

"After using it, Pokémon will definitely be closer to you." The young ladies promoted it enthusiastically, and Xiaoxia also put her wrist to her nose and smelled it with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Although they were not sitting together, Xiaozhi still smelled the scent.

Although he was not interested, Xiaozhi was clear that perfumes can be good or bad, and not all perfumes are good.

Of course, the most important thing is to see how people use it. Some people use perfume as if they are afraid that others can't smell it. They feel that they can use up half a bottle when going out once, and the pungent smell can be smelled several meters away.

Especially when being together in a closed space, such as an elevator car, it is really a torture. It is no longer a fragrance, it can be said to be a torture to the nose. I am a little surprised that these people don’t feel uncomfortable in their noses?

However, Xiaozhi knows that their perfume making is not just about the smell, it also incorporates aromatherapy technology, which can not only emit fragrance.

It can also make people relax their minds. So when outsiders enter the city, they not only don't feel the smell is strong, but instead feel mentally relaxed. Xiaozhi agrees with this point.

“It tastes really good!”

Xiaoxia smelled it and seemed to like it very much. Pikachu also jumped over curiously. Xiaoxia also put her hand over when she saw it. Pikachu smelled it and also looked intoxicated.

"We have other styles! Would you like to take a look?" After trying one, the other clerks continued to speak.

"Okay, okay!" Xiaoxia became excited when she heard it. Girls are always keen on this kind of things. Xiaozhi knew that he would not be able to get down for several hours.

"｀ ~ Emmm, Xiaoxia, you choose first! Can I come to find you after I finish beating the gym?" If it really takes several hours, he has already finished beating the gym, so it would still be in time for him to come over after that.

“Ah?? Is that so? Alright!!”

Xiaoxia was a little conflicted after hearing that, but it was true. It would take time to choose the one she was satisfied with, but she didn't want to delay Xiaozhi either.

"Well! Then I'll go over first. Pikachu, let's go!" Seeing this, Xiaozhi stood up and called to Pikachu, who immediately followed after hearing his voice.

Pickup truck!!

Pikachu jumped onto Xiaozhi's shoulder and then left with Xiaozhi. Xiaogang naturally wanted to stay, after all, there were so many beautiful female shop assistants here.

"Little sister, your boyfriend is really something. He has no patience at all!"

"That's right, he's not considerate at all (amazing), and he doesn't understand girls' hearts at all!" Seeing Xiaozhi leave, several female shop assistants said to Xiaoxia with a bit of pity.

"Ah!!! No... no, you misunderstood, we are not in that kind of relationship, Xiaozhi and I are just... just traveling companions." When Xiaoxia heard this, her face turned red and she shook her head quickly, but the more she spoke, the less confident she became.

"And...and Xiaozhi is not that kind of person..."

Xiaoxia listened and spoke up for Xiaozhi. After all, Xiaozhi was originally the first choice to go to the gym, but he still accompanied her here, and she was already satisfied.

"Haha! Don't be nervous, little sister. We've all been there before. We just feel sorry for you meeting such an unromantic boy."

Listening to Xiaoxia still speaking up for Xiaozhi, in their eyes, Xiaoxia has become the sensible one who makes people feel distressed. Although she no longer says anything, she still complains about Xiaozhi in her heart.

Chapter 253 Rainbow Gym (Subscription Request)

Because Xiaozhi had left, although Xiaoxia could buy perfume with confidence, she didn't seem to be very interested. The ladies introduced a few more models, and in the end Xiaoxia chose the most popular one in the store, and then prepared to check out under the guidance of the saleslady.

"How much is this?" Xiaoxia came to the front desk to ask under the guidance of several female shop assistants.

"Someone has already paid." The lady at the front desk smiled politely after hearing this.

"Ah?? Someone paid?"

Xiaoxia was slightly stunned when she heard the voice, then she glanced at Xiaogang. Xiaogang shook his head in confusion. Xiaoxia thought about it and it made sense. This guy was only focused on looking at the young lady and would never think of paying.

"It was the boy who just came with you who paid! And this!" The lady at the front desk smiled meaningfully, and then took out a red machine from the counter.

"Ah! This is Satoshi's Pokédex!"

When Xiaoxia saw what the young lady took out, she recognized it as Xiaozhi's Pokémon encyclopedia at a glance.

　210 The Pokémon Encyclopedia represents the trainer's ID card and also the trainer's bank card. Anywhere in the world, regular commercial stores, in addition to cash and card payments, also have machines that specifically provide encyclopedia payment.

"Well! He said he doesn't know which one you want, and you can pay later after you decide. So he left the picture album here and said he would give it to you after you have made your choice. Little sister, your boyfriend is so considerate!" said the girl at the front desk with a smile.

At the same time, she looked with a playful smile at the shop assistants who had previously said that Xiaozhi was not considerate enough. Of course, she also saw what happened over there just now.

When she saw Xiaozhi coming over, she thought he was inconsiderate just like the other store clerks. However, her opinion changed immediately when she saw Xiaozhi take out the pokédex to explain the situation.

It's normal for boys to have no interest in these things, but the fact that he can do this also shows that he is not bored.

But no matter how good their products are, they can't ask people who don't like perfume to agree with them, right? If the other party shows that they hate their products, they may get angry, but Xiaozhi didn't show that he hated them, he just did his own thing.

"No... No, you misunderstood."

When Xiaoxia heard this, she felt sweet in her heart, but when she saw the looks from the shop assistants around her, she blushed and responded. She quickly took Xiaozhi's illustrated book and put it away carefully.

"Well...thank you guys, we'll be leaving first!"

After taking the perfume bag, she spoke in a panic and immediately turned around and left, completely forgetting Xiaogang's existence. Although Xiaogang was a little reluctant to leave, he still followed her and left.

“Welcome to visit us next time!!”

Seeing Xiaoxia running away in panic, the young ladies still saw her off very professionally.

"Damn it, you knew it a long time ago and didn't tell us. Are you trying to embarrass us on purpose?" After watching Xiaoxia leave, several female shop assistants looked at the receptionist and said resentfully.

He clearly knew it a long time ago but deliberately didn't say anything, causing them to complain about him behind his back for a long time. Who would have known that the straight guy who they thought was unromantic turned out to be a warm-hearted man.

"Hehe!" The lady at the front desk grinned evilly after hearing the voice.

"Don't judge a book by its cover. This incident just makes you understand this truth. You must not treat customers differently. Do you understand?" At this moment, a figure in a kimono walked out from the door at the back.

"Yes! Got it." When the young ladies saw the woman, they stopped playing around and listened to what the woman said and responded seriously.

Rainbow Gym

On the other side, after leaving the perfume shop, Xiaozhi went towards the Rainbow Gym. The Rainbow Gym was not far from the perfume shop, only more than ten minutes away.

A huge Rafflesia building can be seen from a distance. On the roof is a huge Rafflesia flower with half a white dot, and below is an indigo-blue house building, which is built exactly like the Pokémon Rafflesia.

Vyreflower is the evolved form of Vyreflower and the ultimate evolved form of Cloverleaf. The Rainbow Gym itself is a Grass-type Pokémon Gym.

In fact, in the anime, although Xiaozhi came to Rainbow City after Golden City, the strength of the Rainbow Gym may not be as strong as the Golden Gym.

I walked over to the glass door, which opened automatically, and as I walked in, I looked inside the gym.

It is more like a botanical garden than a gym. Walking into it feels like entering a forest, with flowers, plants and trees everywhere.

At the same time, there were many young ladies in work clothes in the gym. When they saw Xiaozhi standing at the door, they immediately came over.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

There was no perfume that belittled their products like in the anime, so they were not rejected like in the anime. To be honest, even Satoshi, who has been a fan for ten years, can't help but despise the original Satoshi for not being able to speak.

Of course, if he knew that Arica was both the gym leader and the owner of the perfume shop, he might... Uh!! With Xiaozhi's brain circuit, he might still say that.

"My name is Xiaozhi, and I'm here to challenge the gym." Xiaozhi responded after hearing the voice and stated his purpose.

"So that's how it is! Then I'll take you to see Alicia!" After hearing Xiaozhi's purpose, a young lady responded, and then led the way and walked into the botanical garden ahead.

There are many exotic flowers and plants inside, which also emit a strange fragrance, and you can also see various grass-type Pokémon.

"The Pokémon here are all well-bred!"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but admire these Pokémon when looking at them. The best living environment for Grass-type Pokémon is nature, but they can be cultivated so well here, which shows that the environment here is very suitable for them.

It can be seen that the owner of this botanical garden has put a lot of thought into making the Pokémon here so adaptable.

"Of course, there is no difference between here and outside." The young lady responded proudly after hearing the voice.

Xiaozhi did not question that the quality of Pokémon cultivation was not only determined by their strength, but also by their health. The Pokémon here were not necessarily very strong, but they were indeed very healthy, and health was also the basic condition for becoming stronger.

Chapter 254: Ai Lijia (Subscription Request)

While the young lady was describing the situation at the gym, she took Xiaozhi into the depths of the botanical garden, and they soon saw a competition venue inside the garden.

There are also lush flowers, plants and trees next to the venue. On a high platform not far from the venue, various experimental instruments are placed. A figure wearing a mask and gloves seems to be doing an experiment.

"Ailijia, there's a challenger coming to challenge us!" The young lady walked up to the figure next to the experimental equipment and shouted.

"Ok?"

Hearing the sound, the girl next to the sound equipment turned around and looked over. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, not older than Naz. She was wearing a green dress, had neat short blue hair, and a red headband on her head.

"Wait a mininute!"

This girl is the gym trainer of the Rainbow Gym and also the owner of the perfume shop, Alicja. At the same time, all their perfumes are produced and consumed by themselves.

Ailijia quickly cleaned up the things over there, then took off her mask and gloves, walked down from the platform, and came in front of Xiaozhi.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, I'm Alicja, the gym trainer of the Rainbow Gym!" Alicja looked at Xiaozhi and seemed to be no stranger to him, revealing a faint smile.

"I'm Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. I hope you can accept my challenge."

"Since I'm a gym trainer, if someone comes to challenge me, of course I will accept it." After hearing this, Alicja agreed without hesitation.

She is the owner of the perfume shop, and she was actually there when Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia were in the perfume shop, but she just didn't come out. She saw Xiaozhi's behavior and admired it very much.

Soon, both sides entered the venue, separated to the left and right, and stood on the opposite sides of the venue. The young lady who led the way earlier also walked to the side of the venue to act as a referee.

"The number of Pokémon used in the competition is limited to three. As long as one side's three Pokémon lose their combat ability, the competition is over, is that okay?" Ailijia explained the rules.

"no problem!"

The rules are still as simple as ever, and the number of Pokémon used will be relatively larger. Except for the Cerulean Gym, previous competitions basically only involved one or two Pokémon.

"Okay! The Pokémon League's recognized gym, the Rainbow Gym Challenge, will have Pallet Town challenge against gym trainer Alicja, and the competition has officially begun!"

The referee lady next to them immediately announced the start of the match, and both sides became serious. At this time, in the audience seats outside the venue, the staff of the gym gathered to watch the match unknowingly.

"Then I'm going to attack Xiaozhi, come on, Vines!"

As a gym trainer, Alicja took out the Pokémon first. A Pokémon with blue vines wrapped around its body and only a pair of big eyes exposed appeared in front of her.

The vines are swaying in disorder and are so dense that you can only see your eyes and everything else is pitch black. But when the vines extend downward, it looks like there are feet wearing a pair of red shoes. It feels like a baby wearing shoes. People with trypophobia may not like it too much.

But looking at it reminded Xiaozhi of the urban legend about the vine monster.

It is said that the vine monster was transformed from a drowned little girl, and the vines on its body are actually water plants.

And later, because in the first generation of Pokémon, there were originally three people in the promotional picture, namely the first generation trio. In addition to Green, the prototype of Shakoro, and Red, the prototype of Satoshi, there was also a girl named Blue, who was called Blue by fans.

However, in the first three works, even in Deep Blue's work, only Green and Red appeared, and Little Blue did not appear in the Deep Blue work.

In addition, the color of her shoes in the promotional image is similar to that of the vine monster's feet, so fan works were derived.

In fact, at the beginning, Xiaolan drowned in an area behind Pallet Town that requires surfing to reach, and turned into a vine monster. In the game, the vine monster can indeed be caught on the grass behind Pallet Town that can be reached by surfing.

Fans have come up with their own ideas, thinking that it was because Xiaolan drowned at that time that she did not appear in her theme work Deep Blue.

But weird stories are just weird stories. Xiao Lan was still traveling with them on the day of departure, and now she sends back messages from time to time to explain her situation, so it’s better to just listen to these weird stories.

"Go ahead, Charmander!!"

Xiaozhi looked at the Tenebrio in front of him and threw out a Poké Ball. Without wasting any time, he took out Charmander directly.

Mile!!!

Charmander landed in the middle of the field and let out an excited cry. After taking out his Pokémon, the game officially began. As the challenger, Ash launched an attack without hesitation.

"Charmander, use Spark Attack!!"
