Chapter 655 Goodbye, Xiaoyao, Mikoli
Chapter 655 Goodbye, Xiaoyao, Mikoli
And so, the Hoenn battle finally came to an end in a dramatic way that no one had anticipated.
The biggest winner, of course, is Xiaoyun.
Not only did they manage to steal a bunch of Fladali and the Mega Evolution Rock, but they also watched a live stream of Sky God vs. Mewtwo, making a fortune.
Inside the room, post-war analysis.
After the battle, the two stayed temporarily at the Pokémon Center in Rustboro City.
At this moment, Xiaoyun was leaning back on the sofa in the room, closing her eyes and concentrating, communicating remotely with two guests in the World Tree space through the power of super resistance.
In his consciousness space, the scene of the core area of the World Tree appeared.
Mewtwo was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, its body still surrounded by energy fluctuations that had not yet completely subsided.
Clearly, the passionate brawl with outer space benefited it greatly, but also consumed it considerably.
It's a bittersweet experience.
Not far away, Z2, resembling a puddle of slime, was slowly wriggling.
“I feel a more complete form calling to me. My potential seems to be further stimulated.”
Z2's voice echoed in Xiaoyun's mind.
"Oh? Then what are we waiting for? Let's give them a little push!"
Xiaoyun became interested and couldn't help but rub her hands together.
Unleash your potential, and that's super evolution!
Zygarde Mega Evolution, wow, I can hardly imagine how strong it is. Could it beat up the chief lama?
Z2 was silent for a moment before replying in his usual calm and even tone:
"Well, with half of my body missing, and my energy and core incomplete, I... cannot do it yet."
"Tch~~ All this useless stuff."
Xiaoyun immediately deflated, as if an inflatable doll had been pricked with a needle and instantly collapsed.
So this is a Pinduoduo version, where you have to collect all the items for it to work, right?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt he was losing out, so he continued outputting:
"Look at other people's Mewtwo. The stone is sent over and they get a new Mega Evolution in no time. It can even fight Rayquaza to a standstill. That's professional."
"You...sigh, there's really no comparison."
Z2: "..."
For some inexplicable reason, Ziegler felt as if he were being scolded like a son, as if he had suffered tons of invisible damage and was unable to refute it.
When has it, Zygarde, the guardian of order in the Carlos region, the last line of defense for the ecosystem, ever suffered such injustice?
How come it has no dignity or prestige as a legendary Pokémon in front of this human kid?
Isn't it shameless?
Sigh, this generation of humans is so hard to manage.
Click~
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, interrupting Xiaoyun's friendly conversation with Z2.
Xiao Guang, holding Rotom, practically skipped into the room with a bright smile on his face.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy? Did you find an evolution stone?"
Xiaoyun exited the mental link, opened his eyes, and looked at his girlfriend curiously.
"Hehe, I'm even happier than if I found an evolution stone!"
Xiao Guang shook Rotom's big screen:
"It's Haruka! She's come to Kanaz City! And Master Mikkuri is with her too!"
Because they share similar interests, the two are considered good friends.
Of course, Xiao Guang is most familiar with Xiao Wang.
If they get married, they'll be a terrifying force capable of hosting a whole table of food for themselves.
"Let's go downstairs and take a look!"
Xiaoyun perked up too.
The two hurried downstairs, and as soon as they reached the lobby of the Pokémon Center, they saw a familiar and beautiful figure standing there.
An orange headscarf, a vibrant outfit.
It was none other than the long-lost Hoenn dancer, Haruka!
"Xiaoguang!"
"Xiaoyao!"
The two friends, who had been separated for a long time, immediately embraced each other happily, attracting the attention of many people in the hall.
"Xiaoyun, it's been a long time!"
Xiaoyao let go of Xiaoguang, then smiled and greeted Xiaoyun, her eyes bright.
"It's been a long time, Xiaoyao,"
Xiaoyun responded with a smile, looked her up and down, and praised her in a serious tone, "You look even prettier now. It seems that the soil and water of Hoenn are very nourishing."
"Oh dear, it's not as good as you say."
Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed by the praise and quickly changed the subject:
"I saw you guys on the live stream too! Coming all this way to help our Hoenn is so cool! You guys are the heroes of Hoenn now."
"Oh? Are there any rewards for being a hero?"
Xiao Guang winked playfully, pointed to his cheek with his finger, and began to ask for a reward.
Xiaoyao pretended to be deep in thought, then clapped her hands as if suddenly realizing something: "Hmm...we can hug again!"
After saying that, he gave Xiaoguang a big bear hug without saying another word, and the two of them burst into laughter.
"By the way, this is my friend Shun. Like me, he is also a Coordinator."
As she spoke, Xiaoyao turned to the side and introduced the boy who had been standing quietly beside her.
The boy had neat, short, light green hair, was dressed fashionably, and was quite handsome, but his expression carried a habitual indifference.
"Hello."
Xiao Shun maintained her usual slightly aloof demeanor and nodded slightly as a greeting.
But when his gaze swept over Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang, a hint of seriousness still flashed across his eyes.
After all, a trainer who can participate in and quell an incident of that level is no ordinary person.
Hey, isn't this the aloof guy from the original story who's all bark and no bite when it comes to Xiaoyao? Xiaoyun instantly recognized the boy in front of her.
And it seems... there's something going on between Xiaoyao and him? Could this be the script for a "bickering couple"?
As a girl, Xiao Guang's keen intuition immediately detected an unusual aura, and her gossip radar went off.
She blinked her big eyes, leaned closer to Xiaoyao, and asked in a slightly teasing tone:
Are you... traveling together?
She emphasized the word "together".
"No!"
Haruka, like a skirmisher whose tail had been stepped on, immediately denied it, but her cheeks turned even redder:
"It's just...it just happened to be on the way!"
Xiao Shun, standing next to him, also turned his face away somewhat awkwardly, coughed lightly, and added in his signature indifferent tone:
"Yes, it's just an occasional trip together to discuss the art of mediators."
"Oh~~, we're discussing techniques, right?"
Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang exchanged a glance, simultaneously drawing out their words and revealing knowing smiles on their faces.
This synchronization rate, this frequency of responses that only serves to cover up the truth.
Something is wrong, maybe even nine out of ten points!
Discussing techniques is like burning newspapers at a grave; you're trying to fool a Gastly.
This is clearly the classic scenario of "more than friends, less than lovers," a prelude to falling in love.
That's how they got by, okay?
Xiao Shun was clearly uncomfortable with this gossipy gaze. He awkwardly straightened his collar and quickly said to Xiao Yao:
"I'll go check out the battlefield outside first. You... come find me when you're done talking."
After saying that, he turned and left the hall almost hastily.
Watching Shun's hasty retreat, Hikaru immediately grabbed Haruka's arm, his eyes gleaming with gossip:
"Quickly, tell the truth! When did this happen? How far has it progressed?"
Gossiping is a girl's nature; no girl can resist gossip.
If so, it means the melon isn't big enough or sweet enough.
Oh dear, there really isn't any!
Xiaoyao stomped her foot, but the blush on her face betrayed her.
"We're really just traveling together temporarily, learning from each other, at most... at most our relationship is just a little bit better than ordinary friends..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.
But judging from her shy expression, only she herself knows the true extent of this "little bit".
Since they happened to run into old friends, they decided to go to a nearby restaurant for a meal, chat, and start a tea party.
During the meal, Xiao Guang enthusiastically recounted his experiences over the past few days to Xiao Yao.
How to challenge gyms while also participating in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, attempting to hone oneself and Pokémon on two different stages.
Xiao Yao listened intently, resting her chin on her hands:
"I've heard of the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament. It's a stage where there's absolutely no competition, and the winner is purely determined by performance and charisma, right?"
"Xiao Guang, you are really brave. While engaging in high-intensity gym battles, you still find time to hone your performance skills and bond with your Pokémon through satellite battles."
As a coordinator, Haruka knows that most people in the coordinator circle prefer to stay in the comfort zone of the Grand Contest, focusing on the beauty of the performance and deliberately avoiding the practice of practical skills.
The consequence of doing this is often slow improvement in strength, which is easily criticized by traditional trainers as being all show and no substance.
Coordinators like Xiaoguang, who dare to fight on two fronts and actively seek breakthroughs, are truly rare.
The last person to do this was Mikkelsen.
Even Xiao Shun, who was sitting a little further away and seemingly drinking tea quietly but was actually listening intently, couldn't help but glance at her sideways.
In order to break through the bottleneck of his strength, did he take the initiative to step into the more challenging gym battle?
This determination and drive... this girl named Xiaoguang is not to be underestimated.
"It's not that bad,"
Xiao Guang was a little embarrassed by the praise and waved his hand.
She couldn't very well say that her original intention was actually to travel with Xiaoyun, that would be too much like being love-struck.
She quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I haven't participated in a proper Grand Contest in a long time. I've been busy with gym competitions, and I don't even know if I can still adapt to the pure performance rhythm of the Grand Contest."
"Haha, if it's Hikaru, I think it's perfectly fine."
These words were not spoken by Xiaoyao, but by another gentle and magnetic voice.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two men with extraordinary bearing standing beside their table.
One of them had short silver hair, was dressed in a suit, and had a refined and approachable smile on his face.
It was Daigo.
The other one instantly captured both Haruka and Shun's full attention!
The person had flowing green hair, wore a stylish green sleeveless top, and well-fitting white trousers.
The overall color scheme is fresh and natural, and the demeanor is elegant and composed, exuding the noble temperament of an artist.
"Master Mikkuri!!"
Haruka and Shun jumped up from their seats almost simultaneously.
For these Coordination Trainers who aim to become top Coordination Masters, Mikkuri is not just a flashy master, but an insurmountable mountain and the ultimate goal they pursue!
"Double update, you know what I mean~ ( ̄▽ ̄~)~"
