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

"I don't want my Pokémon to be restricted by others."

He expressed his opinion very simply.

He raised Zoroark since he was a child.

Xia Mu thought he couldn't throw it away just because he was afraid of being discovered.

Besides...

He never really cared about what other people in the tribe thought of him.

Between Zoroark and the Pearl Tribe, he would choose the former without hesitation.

Seeing Xia Mu's firm attitude, Zhu Bei sighed helplessly and sat back in her seat.

She knew that it was impossible to make Xia Mu change his mind by relying on such threats.

I covered my head and thought about it.

After a while, she slowly raised her head, looked at Xia Mu, and said seriously:

"I will keep today's events secret, but you must also be careful not to let too many people know about Zoroark's affairs."

Xia Mu is currently very famous in the Pearl Tribe.

Zhu Bei felt that it was a foregone conclusion that the other party would become the next tribal leader.

It would be a shame if the other party lost this position because of Zoroark.

Hearing Zhu Bei's serious instructions, Xia Mu chose not to answer.

After all, he was already planning how to have Zoroark appear in the duel.

He didn't want the Pokémon he raised to live miserably in the shadow all their lives.

[After chatting with Zhu Bei for a few more words, the other party, feeling very upset, said goodbye. ]

[It's not hard to see that she's really worried about Zoroark for you. ]

[But unfortunately... you don't have any good way to comfort the other person. ]

[After sending Pearl away, you found that you couldn't find Zoroark, which made you feel unusually panicked. ]

[Fortunately, under Lucario's guidance, you finally saw the big fox in the quilt in your room. ]

In the quilt.

Zoroark huddled into a ball, leaving only a fox tail trailing behind him.

After listening to the brief conversation between Zhu Bei and Xia Mu, she felt quite confused.

Zhu Bei's meaning was very clear, and it was consistent with what she had been worried about.

——My existence will affect Xia Mu’s life.

Xia Mu's answer was also very decisive.

This touched Zoroark's heart, but he once again struggled with whether he should listen to Xia Mu and show up in front of everyone.

Recently, a series of happy events have caused her to waver in her previous persistence.

She even felt that...she could appear in Xia Mu's match.

But after calming down today, she found that it seemed to be just her own illusion.

It was just because Xia Mu was so nice to her that she thought other people would treat her the same way.

Zoroark buried his head, half-closed his eyes, and his heart was full of worry.

But at this moment, she suddenly realized...her tail was being held by someone.

It’s Xia Mu.

Zoroark recognized the man almost instantly.

As if to confirm her guess, the quilt was lifted the next second.

Xia Mu looked helplessly at Zoroark lying on the couch and felt a headache.

Fortunately, the other party is not in the shedding period now, otherwise his quilt would be ruined.

"Are you daydreaming again?"

He lowered his head and asked softly.

"No."

Zoroark turned his head away, looking as if he didn't want to admit it.

Then, she looked at Xia Mu and said seriously:

"Xia Mu, I...I regret it. I don't want to play in the battle even if Lucario loses his combat effectiveness."

"I don't want to fight on stage!"

This is the result of her careful consideration.

But obviously, Xia Mu did not agree with her idea.

"It is useless to regret."

"How can you go back on your word when you've already promised?"

"If you don't want to go on stage, I will go catch another Zoroark and let her take your place."

Xia Mu threatened while rubbing Zoroark's head.

Sure enough, the other party seemed a little impatient after hearing this.

"no!"

If Xia Mu lets another Zoroark play, it would be better for her to do it herself.

Seeing that he was helpless, Zoroark had to grit his teeth and promised again:

"It's still the same as before. I can only go on stage after Lucario goes on stage and loses!"

She can't do that. There really is a Pokémon that can knock Lucario off the stage.

But after agreeing, Zoroark sighed again.

Xia Mu...you don't really want everyone to know that you exist, do you?

Isn’t the other party afraid of being excluded?

ps: After practicing for an afternoon, I finally figured it out. Lucario's method is really useful!

Chapter 169: Want to lose? No way!

[In the next few days, you will spend your time training Bodao, exploring the ruins with Sirona, and helping Wusi take care of the flowers. ]

[Time seems to be divided up by several people, but the strange thing is... when you have some free time and count, you find that you still spend the most time with Zoroark. ]

"how did you do that?"

Xia Mu put down the paper and pen in his hand and looked at Zoroark in surprise.

He even suspected that he had fallen into the opponent's illusion.

"Humph."

Zoroark snorted coldly and walked away with his tail twitching.

She just followed Xia Mu whenever he did anything.

The time spent together will naturally be longer.

You are such an idiot that you can't even figure this out.

【With this kind of time allocation, every day of your life will be quite fulfilling. 】

[Before I knew it, it was the day before the Pokémon Battle. ]

[The event is held in the Obsidian Fields. 】

[The reason is that compared to the swampy Red Lotus Wetlands and the pure white frozen soil of the polar regions, the plain terrain here is obviously easier to build a site. ]

[By the time you dragged the reluctant Wusi and the enthusiastic Shirona to the venue, there was already a circle of wooden stands.]

[At the same time, the grass in the middle had already been cleared, leaving a clearing with a wide view.]

"Well..."

Seeing the venue, Zoroark, who was hiding behind Xia Mu, made a somewhat fearful sound.

She was already very nervous.

I didn't expect that the battle venue would be a viewing platform where everyone could see clearly.

She simply couldn't bear to think about how much trouble it would cause if she was thrown out to fight under such circumstances.

"It's fine."

Sensing Zoroark's emotions, Xia Mu tugged at his paw and comforted him softly.

Hearing this, Zoroark's nervousness calmed down a little.

With Lucario around, she might not even go on stage.

And even if I go on stage...

Xia Mu also said that she was sure that everyone would accept her.

After a few days of guidance, Zoroark's mentality has changed a little.

"Is this the battle arena? It's quite primitive."

Sirona, who was standing next to her, sighed at this time.

The venues where she used to play games were all modern, specially built, standardized battle venues.

The material is mostly reinforced concrete.

Although such a venue is good, it will become boring after a long time.

Now seeing the primitive battlefield built with wood and mud hundreds of years ago, she couldn't help feeling a sense of freshness.

"Are you sure you want to participate?"

Xia Mu asked curiously.

"Yeah, of course."

Sirona nodded.

After a long time, her passion for fighting was aroused again.

She has decided that she not only wants to be the champion of the Sinnoh region, but also the champion of the Washikui region!

While Xia Mu and Sirona were chatting, Zhu Bei, who was not far away, saw them and walked over.

"Sirona..."

"You're going to participate in the competition too? You have Pokémon?"

Zhu Bei looked at Sirona, whom she had met several times, and asked curiously.

In her opinion, it would be good enough for a stranger who couldn't even find the way he came here to have a few coins on him.

How could he still have the energy to feed a Pokémon?

The Eevee she raised, for example, eats more than her every day.

"You'll know then."

Sirona smiled and did not answer Zhubei's question.

Zhu Bei frowned when she heard this, but did not ask any further questions.

Then she turned her gaze to Xia Mu.

The latter had his hand on his neck at this time, and seemed to be stroking something.

Without having to guess, Zhubei knew that the other party must be touching that annoying Zoroark again.

Thinking of this, she asked:
