Chapter 4

Ohki Research Institute

Xiaozhi:"Listen carefully, you are not allowed to use a beaker to cook instant noodles in the future, do you understand?"

Dr. Oak:"Oh, I see, Xiaozhi, you are very long-winded."

Xiaozhi:"Do you think I want to talk to you?"

Shirona:"That…"

Dr. Oak:"What's the matter?"

Shirona:"Well, I should…"

Xiaozhi looked at the clock on the wall.

Xiaozhi:"It's already late today, you can stay here and leave tomorrow."

Dr. Oak:"Ah, really, it's so late. Sirona, you can stay here."

Shirona:"Yeah"

Xiaozhi:"Ah, I'll go to the kitchen"

Xiaozhi walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and found it was empty. Then he opened the cabinet under the sink and found only instant noodles.

Xiaozhi:"Uh…"

Xiaozhi walked out of the kitchen

Xiaozhi:"Miss Sirona, you should stay at my house."

Shirona:"Huh?"

Professor Oak:"How strange, Xiaozhi, you actually invite others to your house."

Xiaozhi:"That's because, Professor Oak, your refrigerator is empty. You only have instant noodles left to eat, okay?"

Dr. Oak:"No way!"

Xiaozhi:"You don't want your guests to eat instant noodles for dinner, do you?"

Dr. Oak:"That's right, Sirona, I'm sorry, you should stay at Xiaozhi's house. Xiaozhi's mother cooks delicious food."

Shirona:"Well, I understand, Xiaozhi, thank you for your help."

Xiaozhi:"Nothing, let's go"

Xiaozhi brought Sirona back home

Xiaozhi :"I'm back"

Hanako:"You're back"

Shirona:"Excuse me"

Hanako:"Oh, we have guests."

Xiaozhi:"Yeah"

Shirona:"Hello, my name is Shirona"

Hanako:"Shirona-chan, come in quickly"

Hanako walks into the kitchen

Hanako:"Xiaozhi actually brought a girl back home, we need to have more dishes tonight."

Xiaozhi and Shirona are sitting on the sofa chatting.

Xiaozhi:"Hey, where is Miss Shirona from?"

Shirona:"You can just call me Shirona.""

Xiaozhi:"So, Sirona, where is your hometown?"

Sirona:"My hometown is the town of Shenhe in the Sinnoh region."

Xiaozhi:"So it's in the Sinnoh region, but, as I remember, the three starter Pokémon in the Sinnoh region are the fire-type Blaziken, the grass-type Tortoise, and the water-type Pokémon."

Shirona:"Yes, you know it in detail."

Xiaozhi:"Then why is Shirona's first Pokémon the Roundland Shark?"

Shirona:"The Roundland Shark was hatched from the Pokémon egg my grandma gave me. At that time, I was looking forward to the moment it hatched every day."

Xiaozhi:"Is that so?"

"Ding Dong"

Xiaozhi:" Here it comes"

Xiaozhi opened the door and saw Professor Oak and Xiaomao standing outside.

Xiaozhi:"Professor Oak, Xiaomao…"

Professor Oak:"Excuse me, Xiaozhi, can I have a meal at your house tonight?"

Xiaozhi:"; …come in"

Dr. Oak:"; (Great…)"

Xiaomao:"; (No need to eat instant noodles tonight)"

Professor Oak and Xiao Mao walked into the house

Xiao Mao:"Hey, Xiaozhi, that person is…"

Xiaozhi:"Shirona came from the Sinnoh region. She seems to be visiting your grandfather."

Xiao Mao:"Then why is she at your house?"

Xiao Zhi:"Because the only thing you can eat at home is instant noodles."

Xiao Mao:"Uh…"

Hanako:"Oh, Professor Oak and Xiao Mao are here, what should I do? There may not be enough food."

Dr. Oak:"No way!"

Xiao Mao:"Does that mean I'm destined to eat instant noodles today!"

Hanako:"I'm just kidding, I did a lot today, don't worry"

Professor Oak and Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Oak:"That's great!""

Xiaozhi:"Xiaomao, please check what your family needs and go shopping tomorrow."

Xiao Mao:"Yes, OK"

Xiaozhi:"Call Xiaolan to join us"

Xiao Mao:"Yeah"

Xiaozhi:"I really hope that Professor Oak can pay more attention to it."

Xiao Mao:"Hey, Grandpa doesn't pay attention to these things."

Xiaozhi:"Then should we call Nanami over?"

Xiaomao:"No!"

Xiaozhi:"You are so determined. I wonder how sad Nanami will be if she finds out.""

Xiao Mao:"Well, Xiao Zhi, do you want me to call Sister Zhen Hui over?"

Xiaozhi:"Absolutely not!"

Sirona:"; (What are these two people talking about?)"

Hanako:"Satoshi and Mao have such a good relationship"

Dr. Oak:"After all, these two people were born on the same day, so it's natural that they have a good relationship."

Shirona:"Xiaozhi and Xiaomao were born on the same day."

Hanako:"Yes, and almost at the same time"

Shirona:"Is that so?"

Hanako:"Okay, Xiaozhi, Xiaomao, go wash your hands and eat."

Xiaozhi and Xiaomao:"Yes"

After dinner, Xiaozhi, Xiaomao and Shirona sat on the sofa to chat, while Professor Oak and Hanako sat aside to drink tea...

Professor Oak:"Okay, Xiaomao, it's almost time for us to go back."

Xiao Mao:"Well, I understand, Grandpa"

Hanako:"I'll go see if the bath water is ready."

Afterwards, Professor Oak and Xiao Mao returned to the research institute, and Hanako went to the bathroom to run a bath.

Shirona :"By the way, which room should I sleep in tonight?"

Xiaozhi:"I don't know, I'll ask my mother later."

Shirona:"Yeah"

Hanako:"Shirona-chan, the bath water is ready, go take a bath first"

Shirona:"Well, thank you, auntie"

Shirona took out her spare clothes from her backpack and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Xiaozhi:"Mom, which room will Shirona sleep in tonight?"

Hanako:"Well... by the way, Shirona will sleep in your room tonight.""

Xiaozhi:"Hey, my room"

Hanako:"Yes, go make the bed"

Xiaozhi:"Yes"

Xiaozhi walked into the room, made the bed, and sat at the desk to read...

Hanako:"Ah, Sirona-chan, I'm done."

Shirona:"Yeah"

Hanako:"Sorry, please sleep in the same room with Xiaozhi tonight."

Hirona:"Eh?"

Hanako:"I've asked Xiaozhi to make the bed. Xiaozhi's room is on the second floor, near the stairs."

Shirona:"That…"

Hanako:"What's wrong?"

Sirona:"No, nothing."

Shirona walked to the door of Xiaozhi's room, hesitated for a moment, and was about to knock when the door opened.

Xiaozhi said,"Come in.""

Shirona:"Yeah"

Xiaozhi:"This is my room, you can sleep on the bed and I can sleep on the floor."

Shirona:"Thank you, sorry"

Xiaozhi:"It's okay, I'll go take a shower first"

Shirona:"Yeah"

Xiaozhi took out his pajamas and went to take a shower. Shirona looked around Xiaozhi's room.

Shirona:"There are so many books, most of which are about Pokémon, and there are also Pokémon dolls. It seems that Xiaozhi likes Pokémon very much.""
