Chapter 376 Dinner, Joy
The warm sunshine cast a dazzling golden edge on Lily of the Valley Island. The noisy venue gradually became quiet as the crowd dispersed, but the celebration for the winner had just begun.
At the suggestion of local resident Dakodo, the group headed to a famous restaurant called "Binhai Zhixia" on the island by the sea.
The restaurant owner recognized the new champion of the Lily of the Valley Conference, or rather, recognized most of the people present. He enthusiastically led them to the spacious private room, which should be the largest room in the entire restaurant, enough to accommodate everyone. There was also a spacious venue next door for their companions to rest and eat.
Outside the huge French window, the sparkling sea reflected the long-winged gulls flying far away, and inside the house, a group of twelve people sat down one after another.
Soon, the round table was filled with Sinnoh's special dishes. In addition to the delicious main dishes, there were also a wide variety of desserts and fruits, and the tempting aroma spread.
"Wow! They all look delicious!" Xiaotong's eyes sparkled as she sat down next to Aislo, while Mali naturally sat on the other side of Aislo. Morubeco on her shoulder pointed at Baofen excitedly, and the girl took a piece for her.
"Don't be polite, everyone. Today's expenses will be paid by Young Master Luo!" Ah Xun sat down carelessly and said half-jokingly. Emperor Nabo was not in this room, so he didn't need to compete with his elves for food, and he didn't have to pay attention to his eating manners.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu happily held the tomato-like fruit in his hand, while Xiaozhi smiled and raised the glass filled with juice and said, "Celebrate Xiao Luo's victory. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" The private room was filled with laughter and the sound of cups clinking.
Alice sat next to Xiaoguang, tasting her salad elegantly with a nostalgic look on her face, "It's been a long time since it was so lively. Although Baiyang Town is beautiful, it is always very quiet."
"Sister Alice, what does Poplar Town look like?" Xiaotong asked curiously. Children always have a lot of questions, not to mention a little trainer like a girl who is about to go out traveling.
"Well... it's a town that has been blessed by time. It has beautiful gardens and a very, very tall tower." After choosing her words, Alice's eyes shone with tenderness. "That's where I grew up. Oh, by the way, Tonyo asked me to say hello to him, especially to Xiao Luo. He regrets that he couldn't come to witness your victory... He must be very busy now."
"Thank him for me, and thank you for coming all the way here." Aislo smiled.
After Mary added some juice to Alice's glass, she asked curiously, "What has Tonyo been busy with lately?"
"It's about the Reverse World." When Alice mentioned this, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness on her face. "I heard from him that the frequency of abnormal activities in the Reverse World has increased sharply, and the interaction with the real world has become much more frequent. In addition, the Lord of the Reverse World, Giratina, is also more active than before."
The atmosphere at the table tensed slightly. The scene of the previous reversal was still vivid in people's minds. Now, does this mean that there is chaos over there again?
Only a few people including Mary and Dakoto subconsciously glanced at Aislo. The boy's expression remained unchanged at this time, but they could still vaguely discern a hint of embarrassment from him.
“Well…you shouldn’t have to worry about the reverse world.” Eslo took a sip of juice and continued, “Giratina often comes to play with me, and I’ll bring him something to eat…”
The young man did not continue speaking, but everyone understood his meaning.
“Hahaha…” Alice couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “So that’s how it is. When Tonyo finds out, he’ll definitely regret missing this game!”
"Should we tell him now?" Mary asked, tilting her head.
"No." Alice shook her head and refused, with a smirk on her face that didn't match her appearance. "I'm going to give her a surprise when I get back."
"...That's great." Aislo subconsciously glanced at his own shadow and happened to meet the ice-blue eyes in it.
Aislo: You go back home more often. When did Alice become like this?
Darkrai: ...I don't know.
At this moment, Shinji, who had been silent all the time, asked Eslo, "After completing the road to becoming the champion, you will challenge the Four Heavenly Kings of Sinnoh and the champion next, right? Miss Sirona..."
Shinji doesn't think there is any battleground in Sinnoh that can withstand a fight between these two.
"Shirona asked me to fight her at the top of Tianguan Mountain." Aislo answered and raised his own question, "By the way, according to what you said before, the Champion's Road is a training ground, so are there any requirements or necessary conditions to pass it?"
"As far as I know, no." Xiaogang put down his chopsticks. "As long as the trainer walks out of the Champion's Road, he will be considered to have passed. Before that, it doesn't matter how long he wants to stay in there."
"But..." Xiao Gang suddenly changed the subject, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "The top of Tianguan Mountain?"
"What's wrong?" Ah Xun was puzzled, and Alice began to explain to him, "The space-time structure of the Tianguan Mountain is very ancient and complex. The collision of powerful energies, especially when it involves fighting against legends, may cause unexpected space-time ripples."
"Well..." Xiaogang added at this time, "I once heard Red mention that Tianguan Mountain is not only the highest peak in Sinnoh, but also one of the most special energy nodes on the entire planet."
"Wow, that sounds scary!" Xiaoguang exclaimed.
"Huh? Why did my brother tell me that Chihong is a mute?" Ah Xun suddenly spoke, instantly easing the originally heavy atmosphere.
"...You can let Pal tell Chi in person." Xiao Gang stroked his eyebrows.
In the end, it was Shinji who brought the topic back to the topic. "Control of power and grasp of the environment are also part of strength. The environment of Tianguan Mountain is also one of the 'opponents' you need to overcome, Xiao Luo."
"Shinji is right." Nie Zi leaned back in his chair, playing with a fruit in his hand, "Don't just focus on romance. You have to take every step firmly on the road ahead."
As Nie Zi finished speaking, Mali silently pulled her hand out of Aislo's hand, and Nie Zi naturally took it all in. Although he had already recognized Aislo as a pig, he still felt a little...unsatisfied as the eldest brother when his own cabbage actively stuck to him and was pushed around.
It’s hard to be a big brother…
"Thank you, everyone." Aislo nodded slightly to his friends. "I will do my best in the road to championship, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Sirona. As for the environment of Tianguan Mountain..." He looked at Alice and Xiaogang, "I will remember your reminders and deal with it carefully."
The dinner continued, and the topic turned to the upcoming challenges and past experiences. Xiaozhi enthusiastically shared his previous adventures in various regions, and Xiaogang would occasionally add a few words. Ajin boasted about his future, which made everyone laugh. Everyone listened with interest. In this lively scene, Shinji quietly left the table and walked out of the restaurant. The only one who noticed this scene, Aislo, was slightly stunned, and then quietly followed.
