I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

"Xia Mu...did you go to the Pure White Frozen Soil alone yesterday morning?"

She remembered what Wusi said yesterday.

Hearing this, Xia Mu sobered up a little.

After thinking about it, he shook his head slightly.

"No," he said softly.

After getting the answer, Zhu Bei nodded thoughtfully.

"I see."

[After a good sleep until the next day, you, Wusi, and Sirona, as promised, prepared to return to the Red Lotus Wetland. ]

[You slept very comfortably this time. Besides the fact that you were very tired, Zoroark, who served as half of your quilt, played a decisive role.]

【The long and soft fox fur, coupled with the constant body temperature, makes you want to get up late. 】

【Because of this, you almost missed the time to leave. 】

"Xia Mu, there are many things that illusion can do. Do you want to try it when you get back?"

Hiding beside Xia Mu, Zoroark whispered seductively.

She has discovered that Xia Mu is also a human being and there are times when he cannot resist various temptations.

As someone who can control illusions, she can make full use of this.

Sure enough, Xia Mu showed a hesitant expression on his face after hearing her suggestion.

"Go back and look again..."

[Before leaving, Zhu Bei showed her reluctance as always. ]

[And from time to time, I remind you to remember about the Pokémon Battle next month. ]

[On the contrary, Sirona seems to be eager to try. ]

[She is very afraid of the cold and has long wanted to leave this extremely cold place of pure white frozen earth.]

"Xia Mu, what is this Pokémon battle you were talking about?"

Walking beside Xia Mu, Sirona asked curiously.

As a champion, she couldn't help but feel itchy when she heard the word "battle".

"It's a competitive match between the Pearl team and the Diamond team next month."

"It is intended to increase the attention paid to Pokémon by the common people of the two tribes."

"Why, are you interested?"

Thinking of the other party's fierce land shark, Xia Murao asked with interest.

Chapter 165 Zoroark's Plan

"Battle..."

Touching the Poké Ball of Garchomp on her waist, Sirona fell into thought.

After a brief contact, she also realized that not every Xicui person is as martial as Xia Mu.

Especially in Pokémon battles.

There are even quite a few Pokémon in the Pearl Tribe that cannot defeat their masters.

In this desolate continent, the purpose of capturing Pokémon seems to be more to keep them as pets or to guard the house.

Shirona felt that if she brought Lu Shark with her, it would be too much of a bullying to these indigenous people.

"I'd better forget it. You can just fight me when the time comes."

Sirona shook her head, wanting to refuse.

Noticing the conflicted expression on Sirona's face, Xia Mu vaguely guessed what she was thinking.

"You think the Pokémon in the Pearl Tribe are too weak?"

He asked Sirona.

"Um..."

Hearing this, Sirona nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

This seemed to make her seem a little arrogant.

But Xia Mu didn't think so, after all, this is the fact.

How can a mere Pokémon possibly compare to my well-trained body?

This has always been the consensus of all Xicui people.

It was not until recent years that the domestication of Pokémon began to receive more and more attention thanks to the foresight of the leaders of the two major tribes.

Otherwise, such competition would not be held specifically.

"In fact, the favorites to win this time are not among the tribe."

"If it were them, you, Land Shark, might have a great time fighting them."

After thinking about it, Xia Mu told the story of the ten "kings".

As expected, Sirona was indeed aroused by the new things.

"There's another group of Pokémon like this?"

"Are they going to compete too?"

There is no shortage of powerful Pokémon.

But this was the first time she had heard of someone being given power and being able to pass it down from generation to generation.

Shirona's desire to fight, which had been extinguished, resurfaced unknowingly.

"If there are no special circumstances, they should all participate in the competition."

Xia Mu replied while recalling the information Zhu Bei told him.

Like Sirona, he also wanted to challenge these so-called "kings".

Unfortunately...

Zoroark refused to fight no matter what.

This resulted in him only having one Pokémon available, Lucario, and his tolerance for error was somewhat low.

Xia Mu decided to go back and persuade the other party.

He just didn't believe that the big fox would have the heart to watch him lose the game.

[After returning home, Sirona voluntarily expressed her intention to move out. ]

[You have no opinion on this. After all, you have only known Sirona for a short time, and living together would make you feel uncomfortable.]

[After hearing this, Wusi nodded with satisfaction. In her opinion, Sirona was much more likable than Zhubei.]

[Unfortunately, this impression did not last long.]

[The reason is that Sirona settled her home not far from Wusi's cottage, and the former can walk here every day, which is much more convenient than Zhubei. ]

"Xia Mu, I think your waveguide needs to be put to good use."

"I found a new ruin with Garchomp yesterday. How about you help us explore it?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you a copy of what I've deciphered."

Standing in the courtyard, Sirona and Xia Mu were discussing a deal.

As she spoke, she stared warily at Zoroark who was entangled with Xia Mu.

This damn fox secretly used an illusion on her last time.

So much so that she was immersed in the illusion and spent the whole day digging for the ruins.

After waking up, I found myself just lying in bed and had spent the whole day dreaming.

Even Tyrannosaurus Rex is helpless against this annoying ability.

All she could do was to be more vigilant to avoid being tricked again.

"The excavation of the ruins may have to be postponed for a few days. I promised Zoroark today that I would help her train."

Xia Mu rejected Sirona's invitation with some apology.

After his unremitting inducements, Zoroark finally agreed to go into battle.

However, there is a prerequisite - Lucario has already lost his ability to fight before this.

Otherwise she wouldn't play.

Xia Mu knew exactly what Zoroark was thinking.

The opponent probably had great confidence in Lucario's ability and thought it would never be her turn to appear.

But the interesting thing is...Zoroark has never even seen the faces of the ten "kings".

Just getting the basic information about race from him, I felt it was a sure thing.

But if Zoroark knew that there was an ice rock monster as big as a snow mountain in there, she probably wouldn't agree so easily.

On the other side, after hearing Xia Mu’s refusal, Shirona felt a little regretful.

Most of the ruins in the Xicui area are in the mountains, with broken walls and ruins inside, so a large number of Pokémon that like darkness live there.

Without someone like Xia Mu who knows how to use waves to follow her, the difficulty of her exploration would be greatly increased.

"If you have time someday, please come and help me."

Waving her hand helplessly, Shirona prepared to leave with the Land Shark.

Before leaving, she noticed that Zoroark seemed to be smirking, and her chest felt tight.

Suddenly I hate foxes...

[After Sirona left, you started basic training for Zoroark as promised. ]

[What scares you a little is that... the other party is training very seriously, even to the point of being too aggressive. ]

[Under such high-intensity training, Zoroark injured his front paw as expected. ]

"Xia Mu, the power of Changpan..."

There was no trace of pain on Zoroark's face.

On the contrary, there was a hint of anticipation on her face as she held up her injured paw.

The last time they were in the pure white frozen soil, Xia Mu had healed her wounds.

It was then that she discovered that the special energy on the other person's body could not only heal wounds.

And during the recovery process, the whole body feels like it is soaked in hot water, numb and smooth.

The most important thing is...the treatment process seems to deepen the relationship between her and Xia Mu.

This made Zoroark feel like he had found a treasure.

On the other side, noticing Zoroark's excited expression, Xia Mu, no matter how slow he was, knew why the other party trained so hard.

With a helpless sigh, he clenched his claws and released the power of Tokiwa as Zoroark expected.

Zoroark immediately narrowed his eyes, his ears twitched unconsciously, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

One of the conditions for her agreeing to play was to enjoy the restoration of Evergreen's power without limit.

According to her expected trend, Lucario should win all the way through this meaningless game.

After enjoying many privileges, she can still stay quietly by Xia Mu's side.

Don't attract anyone's attention and don't cause any trouble to the other party.
