My electronic Pokémon came true?

She felt that she was easy to talk to. As long as someone came to her, she would generally not refuse them unless they were too demanding.

But think about it carefully.

Nan Xian discovered that when he said goodbye to Mudan yesterday, he did not leave her any contact information.

After thinking for a moment, the young craftsman softened her tone.

"...I can give you about an hour to spare. I have other appointments later."

"understand!"

At this moment, the girl on the other end of the phone sounded as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you very much for your understanding!"

Chapter 6000: Roz and Peony's identities ( words)

Outside the hotel, after walking into a coffee shop on the street, Nan Xian caught sight of Mudan. The girl was holding a cup of coffee in her hand, her face full of nervousness.

"……peony?"

When Nan Xian stopped in front of Mudan and called her name, the girl almost dropped the coffee cup in her hand.

Today, Nan Xian has become a well-deserved master in the art of craftsmanship. Having achieved so much at such a young age, if he is a little bit proud, most people will probably understand.

However, Nan Xian didn't think she was that great. The reason she didn't want to stop was simply because she wanted to make progress. She didn't care about other people's admiring looks at her at all.

What's more, I have only made some insignificant achievements as a craftsman.

For example, Daigo and Takeran, who are champions at the top of the trainers, never speak or behave in a way that reveals their contempt for others.

Nan Xian believes that she still has a lot to learn from her predecessors, and when facing young people, her attitude tends to be more tolerant.

In fact, during the time when Nan Xian lived in Orange College, students would occasionally greet her on the street, and the young female craftsman would smile and nod in response.

As a student of Orange College, Mudan was naturally considered a young person in Nan Xian's heart. The reason why he only gave Mudan one hour of free time was because he had a lot of appointments in the evening.

however.

"Hello!"

Peony doesn't seem to think so.

This girl, who was originally considered a little shy by Nan Xian, stood up and wanted to salute Nan Xian before she could even put down her coffee cup.

Fortunately, Nan Xian was quick-witted and quickly reached out to hold the other person's shoulder.

"There's no need for such troublesome etiquette..."

Nan Xian shook his head and took the initiative to remind.

"I have a lot of appointments tonight. If you want to consult me ​​about something, it's better to tell me as soon as possible."

Mudan was originally very nervous.

Because he knew Nan Xian's identity, he felt that he was hiding a secret.

But the soft voice fell into her ears, and the girl's hand on her shoulder was firm and firm. Before she knew it, Mudan followed Nan Xian's guidance and sat back in her seat.

This is the margin of adulthood...

Just like the vast majority of students at Orange Academy, including Papa, Mudan sees herself as a student who has not yet stepped out of the academy. Therefore, she will instinctively be a little weaker in her aura when facing adults like teachers on a daily basis.

Since the incident with Team Tensei, Mudan has taken a leave of absence from school and returned to the Galar region. Nominally, she is studying abroad, but in reality, she is using this time to reflect on her actions during that time.

I am still too young. If I could really calm down and think, maybe I wouldn't have to take such rash and stupid actions.

In a trance, Mudan's thoughts turned unconsciously and several minutes passed.

After Nan Xian ordered a cup of coffee for herself and sat back next to the girl, Mudan came back to her senses and looked at the smiling white-haired girl again.

"Nan Xian."

Before Mudan could speak, Nan Xian spoke first.

"This is my name. As a formal introduction, I'd better say it first. You don't need to treat me as a great person."

"……I see!"

Peony responded quickly.

"My name is Peony... Also, I'm a student at Orange Academy, currently studying abroad in the Galar region."

After introducing themselves to each other, Nan Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him again.

Compared to the more familiar Orange Academy students, such as Nimo and Piper, those two left Nan Xian with the impression of being full of energy and enthusiasm, and their attire was particularly formal.

After all, the motto of Orange Academy is to prohibit the modification of school uniforms.

The Peony in front of me not only dyed her hair, but also wore a hoodie on the upper body and a mix of shorts and skirt on the lower body. On the other hand, it reflects the rebellious temperament of young people.

"Um...is there anything strange about me?"

After being sized up by Nan Xian, Mudan felt uneasy inside and her tone became a little weaker.

"No, I was just thinking about one thing."

Nan Xian came back to his senses from his memories and shook his head slightly.

"Your outfit reminds me of the students I've met before. None of them are as...full of personality as you."

--personality.

If he had to summarize it in words, Nan Xian could only use this description to describe the impression that the peony left on him.

however.

After hearing the young craftsman's casual words, Mudan's eyes became a little dim.

“These are all elements that I really like.”

The hoodie with the Poké Ball pattern and the Gigantamax-shaped Eevee bag on the back were all clothes that Mudan liked very much before she entered Orange Academy, and she insisted on wearing such clothes after entering.

"When I was at Orange College, I got into trouble because of them..."

Because no one had ever brought up such a topic with Mudan before.

Mudan took over the conversation subconsciously, and after hearing the girl's words, Nan Xian seemed to be thinking about something.

The girl in front of me is called Peony.

Although Nan Xian had known her for a short time, he could judge based on Mudan's age and the fact that she claimed to have been a student of Padiya Orange.

Perhaps, you have met a victim of school bullying.

During the time when Nan Xian visited Orange College, the school spirit of Orange College had undergone drastic reforms. The new principal, Clavel, and various other students left a good impression on Nan Xian.

Precisely because of the good impression he had now, Nan Xian wondered how bad the previous Orange Academy was that made the new principal put so much effort into rectifying it.

No matter when, school bullying is always a disgusting topic.

But Mudan took the initiative to attract Nan Xian's attention. The young girl craftsman thought that her purpose in coming to find her might be related to this.

"...I probably understand."

Nan Xian's eyes gradually showed a bit of pity when he looked at Mudan. Just when Mudan was slowly feeling puzzled, Nan Xian nodded and took the initiative to speak.

"You want to know from me whether Orange Academy is still having the same troubles as before, right?"

After the bullying incident at Orange Academy was exposed, all media outlets reported on it, but the girl in front of him probably didn't know what happened afterwards, so she found him after meeting Erguirong and wanted to ask about the Orange Academy.

Although there are subtle deviations in cause and effect.

After Nan Xian spoke, Mudan nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing this, the white-haired girl smiled gently and began to tell Mudan what she saw and heard when she was a visitor to Orange Academy.

The new principal, Clavel, who takes his work very seriously, the biology teacher, Genia, who is laid-back and a little frivolous, and the art teacher, Hassaku, who is a kind-hearted person and good at empathy...

During that period, Nan Xian was indeed taken care of a lot, and he couldn't help but bring in some personal opinions when he recounted the story.

After hearing about the changes at Orange Academy compared to the past, Mudan couldn't help but have some thoughts in her mind even though she was just listening.

Everything seemed to have gotten a lot better... and I hadn't heard any news about the Tianxing team from Nan Xian. I guess they had disbanded the team after I left.

Although she felt a little reluctant, Mudan secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"By the way, there is also a group called Team Skystar."

Nan Xian's words made Mudan stiffen.

"Although I haven't seen them, Principal Clavel always looks troubled when he mentions them,"

The reason why Orange Academy carried out educational reform was all due to the bullying incident caused by the Star Team. Although Orange Academy was greatly shocked afterwards, not only all the students involved dropped out, but even the former principal and the original teaching team resigned.

But the Tianxing team has not disbanded yet.

For some reason, there is still a group of people who call themselves the Sky Star Team active in Orange College. However, Clavel, who should have used thundering methods against these evil students, seems indecisive.

This did not match Nan Xian's impression of Clavel. As an outsider, she could not ask for details and could only guess that there was something else going on. She told it to Mudan only with the intention of sharing the information.

However, after hearing Nan Xian's story, Mudan's heart was like a thunderclap, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"You...you mean the Sky Star Team?"

the girl stammered.

"Are they still holding activities inside Orange College..."

"It seems so."

Nan Xian also noticed that Mudan's behavior was a little strange. Recalling that the girl in front of her was most likely a victim of school bullying, the young craftsman became serious and recalled the past again.

"When I was driving the Millerton on the roads of Padiya, I seemed to have encountered students who were suspected to be from the Star Team. It was the final exam time, but they were doing activities outside the school and had no intention of participating in the exam at all."

Nan Xian didn't think much about it at the time, but when she thought about it afterwards, she realized that she had most likely met a member of the Tianxing team.

No school, no exams!

Most students probably don't have the courage to do such evil things. Looking at the pale face of Mudan in front of him, she must be recalling the time when she was bullied in the past.

——What a poor child.

The young craftsman shook her head secretly.

It was a pity that he was just an outsider and could not seek justice for Mudan. However, if it was Principal Clavel, who he had a very good impression of, he would definitely still be determined to take action against the Tianxing team and rectify the school spirit.

Just as Nan Xian was organizing his words in his mind and thinking about how to comfort Mudan, the sound of a bell rang from the door of the cafe.

“…Oh?”

With a little surprise, the man's low voice fell into the girl's ears, inexplicably with a strong force.

Nan Xian couldn't help but look up and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly wearing a suit standing at the door of the coffee shop. He looked in his direction and finally fixed his gaze on the girl next to him.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Peony."

When her name was mentioned, Mudan instantly came back to her senses.

Although Mudan was particularly concerned about what Nan Xian mentioned just now, after she raised her head and saw the man calling her name, she was shocked again.

"……uncle?!"

"Yes, it was a wonderful encounter."

That being said.

Mudan's eyes were evasive, but she didn't look happy at all.

After greeting Mudan, the man turned around and looked at Nan Xian with interest.

"Hi! Sorry to interrupt your conversation with my niece. Nice to meet you. My name is Roz."

Nan Xian recognized the man in front of him.

The leader of the Galar Pokémon League and the president of the Marokomon Group, Roz.

In Galar and even in the whole world, he is a big figure who is talked about with great relish, but at this moment, what surprised the girl more was the way Mudan addressed Ross just now.

If I heard correctly, Mudan called Roz uncle...

In other words, Mudan’s identity could be the daughter of Roz’s younger brother?

The white-haired girl couldn't help but frown, lost in thought, and for a moment forgot to respond to Roz's greeting.
