Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Keeping the promise, Xiaozhi handed the Poké Ball containing the sea hamster to Aster and said.

"Well, this sea gopher is yours now."

Aster stretched out her trembling hands with excitement and took the Poké Ball that Xiaozhi handed her. Tears of joy could not help but roll in her eyes. She couldn't believe that all of this was true, and her voice trembled. said.

"I..., I...really, is that okay?"

Xiaozhi smiled and replied.

"Of course. This is the agreement we made before. Please take good care of the sea gopher."

Aster finally woke up from her disbelief, wiped the tears from her eyes, and answered firmly.

"Well! Thank you, brother Xiaozhi, and thank you everyone for your help."

With that said, Aster couldn't wait to release the sea-gopher she had just given as a gift, and rushed to the sea-gopher's side to hug him warmly. The Haitian Rat was also moved by Aster's move to become his new trainer. He gently bent down and got intimate with Aster without feeling any fear.

From a distance, the sea gopher and Aster, who is wearing a white tights, do look somewhat similar. Two young and innocent souls hugging each other, it is indeed a warm picture to outsiders, and Xiaozhi is still lingering around him. The silhouette of the group of people made the scene even more harmonious... which made Xiao Qing involuntarily take pictures.

What is incompatible with it is the dirty duck lying flat in the sand not far away from the battle with the Haitian Rat. Its eyes are blank and white... Only the duck was hurt. The world is achieved.

A wave of waves came and submerged the Teal. It immediately turned over and coughed due to choking on the water. Fortunately, the sea water washed away the dirt on its body. After coughing, it shook its wet feathers and became clean and tidy again. .

Xiaozhi who was not far away shouted.

"Run Shui Ya..., what are you doing? Stop playing, we have to leave."

Runduck was speechless for a while, rolled his big eyes, a red light flashed, and was subdued back into the elf ball again.

After thanking her, Aster submitted her resignation.

"It's a little late to come out. I have to prepare to go back. Are you going to Niangguang City too?"

Ash nodded and replied.

"Yeah, I'm going to challenge the strange tree in Niangguang Gym."

Aster's eyes lit up and she said.

"Sister Qishu! She is a very capable gym leader. Although I don't hope that Sister Qishu will lose, I still hope that you can win, Xiaozhi. Come on, Xiaozhi!"

"I will!"

After that, Aster returned to Ningguang City with the newly acquired sea gopher, and Xiaozhi and the others followed closely behind, coming to this city known as "the city of high technology and commercial transactions."

Although Xiaozhi did not catch any new Pokémon, when he entered Niangguang City, the scene inside deeply attracted the attention of Xiaozhi and others. Even in the daytime, the high-rise buildings everywhere were lit up with colorful lights... ..., and there are also exterior advertising screens on many buildings.

As long as you observe for a while, you will find that on these exterior wall advertising screens of different sizes, there is a person wearing a wide yellow sweater, with a huge double ponytail that reaches her hips, and is also decorated with the same color as her hair. , one pink and one green, two ornaments shaped like little magnets.

The girl's voice can also be heard on the external speakers on these screens everywhere.

"Good morning, noon and evening..."

Xiaozhi asked doubtfully.

"Who is this person? Why is this person appearing on screens everywhere!"

Xiaoqing looked at the strange tree on the screen and said with an intoxicated expression.

"Miss Qishu is so cute, beautiful and playful, and sunny and cheerful... To be honest, I am also a fan of hers. If I have the opportunity, I really want to take a photo of Miss Qishu as a souvenir."

Xiaozhi tilted his head and tried to remember.

"This name sounds familiar, could it be..."

Piper smiled and said.

"Xiaozhi, have you forgotten? Qishu is the gym leader of Niangguang Gym, and is a famous and popular live broadcast host. Of course, there are advertisements endorsed by her on electronic screens everywhere... Not only here, He also appeared in the college’s enrollment advertisement, haven’t you noticed?”

When Xiaozhi heard what Pipa said, he suddenly realized.

"Oh, that's what happened, I have an impression. So..., is the Pokémon battle taking place in this building?...No, is it here?"

Xiaozhi looked around everywhere, thinking that Qishu himself was in a building with an electronic screen on the exterior wall... Xiaoqing sighed and reminded.

"Qishu is the gym leader, so of course she is in the Niangguang Gym!"

"Oh, that's right! Then let's go to Niangguang Gym and have a look."

After saying that, Xiaozhi and his group went on the road together to find the Niangguang Gym. Fortunately, the Gym is also a famous building in the city. Even in the second largest city with an area only second to Table City, it has Its address can be asked immediately.

Arriving outside the gate of Niangguang Gym, Xiaozhi also entered without stopping. Xiao Qing was still on the side, holding his hands together in front of his chest, and said with emotion.

"Finally, we can meet the popular live broadcast host in the Padia region - Miss Qishu!"

After entering the room and arriving at the front lobby, Xiaoqing said in surprise as a crowd gathered around him.

"What happened on the ground here!"

I could see that in the head-turning crowd, most of the people were wearing clothes with pictures of strange trees printed on them, holding flowers and gifts in their hands, supporting flags and call sticks, and they were all shouting in unison.

"Qishu, Qishu..., we want to see Qishu. Qishu, Qishu..., we love you!"

It turns out that these noisy people are fans of Qishu.

Several tall security men wearing black suits, sunglasses, and communication headsets had to maintain order at the scene and directed everyone to move behind the cordon.

At this moment, without everyone paying attention, Xiaozhi and Pikachu, without even telling Xiaoqing and Piper, a lurker silently walked through the crowd, raised the cordon, and passed through the security personnel who opened their doors to block the fans. Dashou... jumped to the front desk and lay down on the front desk table.

At this time, Xiaoqing and Paipa also discovered that Xiaozhi disappeared beside them, and the security personnel who suddenly maintained order also spoke.

"This little brother, please retreat behind the cordon. We will not accept meetings from fans today..."

"It's Xiaozhi! When did he go there?"

Xiaoqing said in surprise.

Xiaozhi ignored the security staff's kind words, hugged the front desk table tightly, and spoke firmly to the front desk staff.

"Hello, I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town. I hope to have a gym challenge with Qishu, the gym leader of Niangguang Gym..."

As soon as the words came out, the whole place fell silent. After a while, the front desk staff spoke.

"I'm sorry, Gym Leader Qishu..."

Before the front desk staff could finish speaking, several people in professional attire walked out of the room behind the front desk. One of them was a woman wearing a uniform short skirt, with neat short hair, who adjusted the glasses on her face.

"I'm sorry, Qishu has temporarily stopped her series of gym challenge work. She is also busy with "Qishu Qishu Live" and endorsement work. Please go to gyms in other towns for gym challenges!"

Piper muttered quietly from behind.

"I remember this lady seemed to be..."

Xiaoqing also recognized this person and said.

"She...isn't she Qishu's gold medal manager - Ms. Guangnan! I heard that Qishu was a little-known anchor before, so she took her photo, and after a series of packaging, Qishu became Qishu. The tree also made Guangnan."

Slowly, when everyone saw the appearance of manager Guang Nan, they gradually became excited and continued to shout their slogans.

Just when Xiaozhi was about to say something, Guangnan passed by Xiaozhi and came to the front of the fans and said.

"I'm sorry, Qishu is still on vacation. She will suspend any fan work today. Please continue to support Qishu and the program "Qishu Qishu Live"..."

However, the enthusiastic fans still could not stop their enthusiasm when facing their idols, and continued to push and push with the security personnel... Xiaozhi and others were also squeezed out of the Ningguang Gym by the crowd during this push. door.

Keeping his head lowered and walking feebly in the city, Pipa couldn't bear to comfort him.

"There's nothing we can do about it since Qishu is on vacation right now. Let's go to another gym!"

Xiaoqing also said.

"That's right, Qishu is so popular and the show she hosts has such a high click-through rate. In fact, I don't think I will see her in Niangguang Gym... But it's a rare opportunity to come to Niangguang City. , let’s walk around here.”

"Hey, that's all we can do. Let's just take a stroll here."

"Pika pika!"

Xiaozhi and Pikachu regained their mental state and decided to appreciate the prosperity of Niangguang City. Many large companies have established themselves here... The most eye-catching one is a statue of Rotom on a huge high-rise building. Standing in front, Xiaozhi looked at it curiously and said.

"Isn't this the statue that's also in Nemo's house in Little Key Town?"

Xiaoqing replied.

"Isn't this natural? This is the headquarters of the Rotom Cell Phone Company. Nemo is the child of the company's boss. Of course she has the same statue in her home."

Pipa also sighed with emotion.

"Although I don't usually have much contact with Nemo, I have heard about her relationship with the Rotom Cell Phone Company in the academy. It turns out to be true... It is indeed a big company with a reputation overseas. It looks really impressive. !”

At this moment, a man in a straight suit with blond hair combed high passed by Xiaozhi and the others. Looking at this familiar face, Xiaozhi and the others immediately recognized each other and ran up to say hello.

"Long time no see, Natsu! You have dyed your hair blond, I almost didn't recognize you, and your clothes look quite formal."

The other party turned around and saw Xiaozhi and his party, and said angrily.

"I'm the younger brother, Namor!"

"I see, you two brothers look so much alike that I couldn't tell them apart for a moment. Yes, yes, yes, you are my brother Namor..."

Xiaozhi continued to chat with an embarrassed look on his face, but Namor was not in a good mood to talk to Xiaozhi and the others, and walked forward with a worried look on his face.

Xiao Qing, who was behind him, couldn't help but complain.

"He is really a person with a weird personality. They are obviously two brothers and have the same face. How come they have such different personalities compared to their warm-hearted brother?"

Piper spoke to persuade.

"Maybe there is something urgent!"

You can see that Namor is walking towards a building not far from the Rotom Cell Phone Company. The sign on the outer wall of the building reads "Drop Exchange Company".

Xiaozhi said immediately.

"By the way, brothers Natsu and Namor both work as drop exchangers. Could it be that this is where they work..."

Xiaoqing also replied with interest.

"Let's go check it out right now, just in time to see where that unpleasant Namor works!"

With that said, Xiaozhi and his group also followed Namor.

When approaching the building, the automatic glass door at the main entrance slowly opened. The person in a straight suit under the door steps was Namor. The one who came out of the main entrance wearing casual clothes and having the same face as Namor and black hair was him. Natsu's brother.

I saw him and a handsome lady with a hip-length dark green ponytail, an earth-colored shirt, black slim overalls, a black tie, and leather boots walking out and discussing something.

As Xiaozhi approached Namor, he heard the woman speaking plausibly.

"Thank you Mr. Naz, as well as your father and your entire Moro family for their support. We are willing to sign part of the equity of your family's company to the Padiya Alliance. I hope that our two groups can promote joint cooperation as soon as possible."

Just as Natsu was shaking hands with the other party, Namor stopped him.

"Molonaz, what good are you doing!"

On the stairs, Natsu discovered that his younger brother Namor and Ash were coming towards him. Just when Natsu wanted to say hello to Namor and Ash.

Namor continued.

"How can you give dad's, Moro family's property to outsiders?"

Natsu explained with a sad look on his face.

"The Padiya Alliance is not an outsider. Only they can save the family business that is gradually declining. Besides, this is also done with the consent of my father and all family members. I, the next heir, am just acting on behalf of Ms. Xin Li, who is the representative of the alliance. , just going through the share transfer procedures.”

"I don't approve!"

Namor's eyes widened with anger and he retorted loudly.

After completing the handover procedures, Xin Li was very sensible enough to submit her resignation.

"Okay, Mr. Natsu, I'm going back to the Alliance to report. Everyone..."

"Wait a minute! I am a member of the family, I don't recognize it..."

Natsu anxiously ran to Namor's side and stopped him.

"Namo, don't be like this. The contract has been signed and the procedures have come into effect. Listen to me..."

It turned out that Namor didn't hear what Natsu said and continued.

"Xin Li! Let's have a Pokémon battle. You can only leave here if you defeat me. Otherwise, I will not agree to your contract with my brother."

Xin Li breathed a sigh of relief and said slightly relaxedly.

"I just need to defeat you? Isn't it easy?"

With that said, everyone came to the battle venue in the park not far away, and the battle was about to break out.
