My electronic Pokémon came true?

After all, time is running out. Zhulan is going to leave Yuanzhu City tomorrow. Today is the last day she will meet Nanxian.

If you keep hiding it, you won't get answers to the doubts in your heart.

"I noticed that when you challenged the gym before, you let Uruk-chan use the Foundation Stone Mask."

Zhulan goes straight to the core.

"That mask is exactly the same as the stone mask preserved in Kitakami Township, except for the historical traces. In addition, during the previous festival parade, it wore a green grass mask on its face. I wonder if Erguiyan is the evil ghost in the Kitakami Township legend?"

Zhulan was able to guess the answer directly, which was basically within Nanxian's expectations.

After all, she is an expert in myths and legends, so how could she forget the history of her own region?

However, no matter how good Zhulan's eyesight was, she could not understand why the evil ghost in the legend of Beishang Township appeared next to Nanxian, and how Erguiyan got the second foundation stone mask.

The Sinnoh champion looked at Nan Xian with sharp eyes, full of curiosity, and eager for an answer.

She was craving for answers.

It was not the first time that Nan Xian told someone about Ergui's past. The girl was very familiar with the story and added some more to what she had explained to Qinglu before, and told it to Zhulan again.

A conversation.

Zhulan frowned like Qinglv before.

Compared to Qinglu, Zhulan easily accepted that Erguiyan was the evil ghost in the legend of Kitakami Township. Correspondingly, she was particularly concerned about the historical distortion in the legend of Kitakami Township.

"…Is Qinglu currently in Kitakami Township?"

The champion is not necessarily well-informed.

Although Qinglu kept posting photos on her personal social media after she went to Kitakami Township, she was wearing a yukata one moment and a farm uniform the next, looking like she was really enjoying her trip.

But because Qinglu has been acting so out of touch since he resigned from his position as champion, no one knows whether he really went to Beishang Township for tourism.

So Zhulan only now knows that the former champion of the Quartz League, the current Alola vs. Tree battle legend is being investigated in Kitakami Township.

Qinglu's purpose is to collect information about Erguiyan and confirm that Erguiyan is indeed the evil ghost in the legend of Kitakami Township.

At present, this information has probably been basically collected.

"Once the identity of Er Gui Yan is officially confirmed, what are you going to do?"

Zhulan frowned and asked seriously.

"I won't do anything. In my opinion, Erguiyan is just Erguiyan. I don't know what the legend of Beishang Township is about, and Mr. Qinglu's investigation has nothing to do with me."

Nan Xian's serious reply made Zhu Lan's mouth twitch slightly.

"What a cunning answer."

After thinking for a long time, Zhulan finally let out a long sigh.

"Whatever. It has nothing to do with me anyway. Let's eat."

Nan Xian was surprised by Zhulan's sudden attitude of giving up.

"Miss Zhulan, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Although there is, if we continue to pursue this, those of you who have truly put in the hard work will feel unhappy."

Zhulan tapped the plate with chopsticks, and a crisp tinkling sound was heard. Erguiyan, who was clumsily poking the fruit plate with his fingers, looked over.

Seeing its cute appearance, Zhulan, who was originally in a bad mood, also showed a relieved smile.

"I am the Sinnoh Champion, but that doesn't mean I am responsible for everything that happens in the Sinnoh region."

"Just like me, as a mythologist, I don't have to get to the bottom of everything and publish the answers I find."

Zhulan picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to Erguiyan. The latter looked at Nanxian, and when the girl nodded, he opened his mouth and ate the food Zhulan fed him.

"Boni~"

"Humans have their own problems, but Pokémon's ideas are purer. That's why we can't interfere with Pokémon just for our own selfish desires."

Zhulan was satisfied. She put down her chopsticks, crossed her hands, and looked at Nanxian with a gentle smile.

"Beishang Township still has to find a way out of the predicament they are facing on their own. But if you still want to do something, Nanxian, I just want to make a small request."

"——Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to let the incident in Yuanzhu City happen again in Beishang Township."

After hearing Zhulan's words, Nan Xian took a long time to realize that she was worried about the two gods he summoned in Beishang Township.

"Of course, I can't do that."

"is it?"

Zhulan didn't comment, but in the end, she got Nanxian's promise.

Zhulan, feeling somewhat relaxed, no longer brought up the topic.

……

In the following time, Nan Xian and Erguiliang enjoyed a delicious meal and said goodbye to the handsome Sinnoh champion.

After walking out of the restaurant, Nan Xian looked at his phone again. It was almost time for him to meet Xiaomei.

"It's been a busy day today."

The girl sighed.

"It's the last day of the festival, and everyone wants to get everything sorted out."

Although they haven't met yet, Nan Xian thought that the kimono girls probably wanted to ask him about the causes and consequences of the previous incident.

But when Xiaomei arrived, Nan Xian was surprised to find that she was the only one there.

"Is it just you?"

"Because my sisters have other things to do..."

Xiaomei recalled that her sisters teased her when she went out, and her cheeks turned red.

"Can't I do it alone?"

"No...I just misunderstood."

Nan Xian recalled the content of the text message. Xiaomei did just say "everyone doesn't need to perform", but she didn't say how many people came.

——She probably didn’t get any work assigned to her, so she has nothing to do.

"It's okay. I'll accompany you to the festival."

Nan Xian felt that he had found the reason and nodded repeatedly.

"It's okay. I'll accompany you to the festival. You should relax and enjoy yourself. You've been performing for so many days in a row. You'll be tired no matter how much you exercise."

"Um……"

Although she always felt that Nan Xian had misunderstood something, Xiaomei was still very happy after getting the definite answer.

All along, she was the least confident among the five kimono girls. It was not until the successful performance at the Vermilion Festival that Xiaomei gained some confidence.

But compared to her three older sisters who have many fans, and the optimistic and cheerful fifth sister Sakura, Xiaomei still doesn't have many friends.

So when I went out just now and told my sisters that I wanted to go to the festival with Nan Xian, everyone else was extremely surprised. They didn't know since when Xiaomei and Nan Xian became so close.

In fact, Xiaomei doesn’t know whether this relationship can be said to be good.

The girl quietly turned her face and looked at Nan Xian, whose eyes were always fixed on Erguiliang, with a gentle smile on her face.

Nan Xian's gaze was always on Erguilang.

"Boni~"

The little devils wandered in front of the stalls at the carefree festival, staring at the stall owners with starry eyes.

Being stared at by such lovely eyes, even the most strict and serious vendors would smile unconsciously and could not help but pick up the goods and hand them to Erguiyan.

What Nan Xian has to do is to fill the position after Erguiliang chooses the next target and pay Erguiliang for the goods.

"……so good."

Xiaomei sighed unconsciously.

"Nanxian, you must have a very close relationship with it."

"Of course."

The girl replied in a calm tone.

"Evil and I have made a promise that we will be together forever in this life, and no matter what happens, nothing can separate us."

It was calm yet full of determination, instantly piercing through Xiaomei's confusion.

Xiaomei realized at this moment that when she first saw Nan Xianqi, she had been attracted by the confidence that the girl showed all the time.

Because Nan Xian was not like herself, she would be confused from time to time. She always looked forward, as if she would never stop.

Xiaomei, who stood still, envied Nanxian's confidence, so she was full of admiration in her heart.

Will Nan Xian accept my desire to get closer to him if I express it out loud?

Xiaomei's hesitation turned into an answer after a moment.

At this moment, I am walking side by side with Nan Xian, touring the festival.

——This is the answer.

"Nan Xian."

The girl turned around and saw the girl who used to wear an elegant kimono but was now wearing an ordinary yukata, smiling.

"Where do you want to go next?"

A clear sound like pearls and jade fell into my ears.

Although the total time they had spent in contact was only a few days, Nan Xian always felt that Xiaomei had become different from before.

"I think I need to leave the Johto region for a while."

After hesitating for a moment, Nan Xian gave a reply.

"After all, yesterday's incident was too much of a commotion. Master Matsuba advised me to go out and rest for a while, and come back after the aftermath of the incident has calmed down. So I want to go to Kitakami Township in Sinnoh."

"Beishang Township..."

Xiaomei repeated it over and over again.

The kimono girl, who has devoted all her energy to practicing dance for many years, has no idea what Kitakami Township is like, but from Nan Xian's words, Xiaomei can still hear the complex emotions in her voice.

What kind of events will Nan Xian encounter there, and what kind of people will he meet?

The girl, feeling a little sour inside, shook her head and faced her inner feelings again.

"Once we get to Beishang Township, will Nanxian share travel photos on social media?"

This sentence made Nan Xian think for a moment.

"Hmm... I guess so."

Nan Xian suddenly realized that he was still walking casually and had forgotten to share his experiences on social media.

I've been traveling for so long that I didn't even take any photos to show to my master.

It's a dereliction of duty.

“I will definitely take pictures then.”

So Nan Xian changed his reply.

"That's good. Then I can also see the scenery of Beishang Township through photos."

The girl smiled, put her hand into her sleeve, and when she took it out again, an old-fashioned bell fell into her palm.

"Also, as part of your reward for helping out during this time, my sisters asked me to give you this gift."

This is……

Nan Xian took the bell from Xiaomei, looked at it carefully, and confirmed its true identity.

——Transparent bell.
