Chapter 22: The Battle for the Blackberry (Obviously Looks More Like Grapes)

Chapter 22: The Battle for the Blackberry (Obviously Looks More Like Grapes)

In the early morning, Xiao Shun called Hai Mo a little helplessly.

Xiao Shun: "I say, how long are you going to sleep? Aren't you going to do Pokémon training today?"

Chi Haimo: "Give me another five minutes~"

Xiao Shun: "Alas, there is really no way."

Xiao Shun turned around and left helplessly, closing the door carefully.

The sunlight shines on Heimer through the glass. For Heimer, this bed that can automatically adjust the curvature is really a blessing for people who often suffer from insomnia. Yesterday's sleep was the best sleep Heimer has ever had.

After an unknown amount of time, Heimer rubbed his eyes lazily, shook his head, stretched, and finally became a little more awake.

Xiao Shun said to Heimer while reading a book.

Xiao Shun: "Come and eat, I asked the hotel staff to deliver your lunch to your room."

Heimer scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then stood up and said to Xiao Shun while eating lunch.

Chi Haimo: "Sorry, I haven't slept well in the past few days."

Xiao Shun said with a helpless smile.

Xiao Shun: "So, you are still just a third-rate coordination trainer, and you can't even maintain a reasonable daily routine."

Chi Haimo: "Yes, yes, you are the best."

Xiao Shun: "After you finish eating, do me a favor."

Chi Haimo: "What?"

Xiao Shun put down the book in his hand and said seriously.

Xiao Shun: "I have already investigated this area. There are black berries in this area."

Chi Haimo: "Ah? Blueberries?"

Xiao Shun: "It's the black berry, you should know it."

Chi Haimo: "Ah? Isn't there a lot of that thing at the fruit stall?"

Xiao Shun looked at Heimer with his mouth full of food in silence, and then he showed Heimer a picture in the book he had just read.

Chi Haimo: "Isn't this a grape?"

Xiao Shun: "Hey, this is the ink berry. After the Pokémon eats it, the color of their hair and skin will improve."

After Heimer swallowed the food in his mouth, he quickly drank a sip of water.

Chi Haimo: "Okay, I'll go look for it with you. When do we set out?"

Xiao Shun: "Wait until you finish eating, and then leave in a while."

After Heimer finished his meal, he and Xiao Shun went to the forest in the area he had searched before to look for it.

Xiao Shun: "Let's split up and find it faster."

Chi Haimo: "Okay."

The bushes in the forest were very dense. Seeing this, Heimer released a forest lizard that was very familiar with the forest to help him search.

Heimer and the forest lizard searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the black berry.

Sweating profusely, they had no choice but to sit on the grass to rest.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard from the other side of the forest. Heimer immediately got up and went to check it out with the forest lizard.

Xiaoyao: "Hunting swallowtail butterflies, cheer up!"

(This sound is, could it be!)

When they were about to reach their destination, Heimer heard the familiar voice, so he sneaked behind a tree with the forest lizard and observed everything in front of him.

At this moment, Xiaoyao was actually fighting with Xiaoshun, while Xiaozhi, Pikachu and a boy who looked like a junior high school student were watching the fight on the side. It seemed that the boy who looked like a junior high school student should be Xiaosheng.

The referee of this competition is a man who is about twenty-five years old, with obvious squinty eyes, healthy dark skin, and the same smart clothes as in the animation. It seems that this is Xiaogang.

The careful Heimer immediately noticed that there was a large bunch of blackberries next to Xiaogang.

Looking at the current situation, it seems that Xiao Shun has the upper hand. The hunting swallowtail butterfly suffered serious damage and fell to the ground, but it seems that it has not lost its combat ability.

(Come to think of it, could it be that Kai’s conference was the first gorgeous competition that Xiaoyao participated in! Oh, Heimer, Heimer, you are so confused. Do you want to go out now? No, I’m here to help Xiao Shun find the black berry fruit. It would be too embarrassing to go out now. I’d better continue to hide and see what happens.)

Just as Heimer was hiding behind the tree thinking, the situation immediately reversed. The hunting swallowtail butterfly rose into the air at a high speed, smashed the magic leaves of the poison rose with a silver whirlwind, and knocked the poison rose directly away!

Xiao Shun: "Poison Rose!"

Hearing Xiao Shun's voice, Heimer turned around again and secretly checked the situation, and found that Xiao Shun's poison rose was somehow seriously injured and fell to the ground.

(Ah, I haven't watched Pokémon for a long time, so I can't remember a lot of the plot. I remember that something was going to happen next, and the battle would end.)

Just as Heimer thought, when the battle was very intense, the black berry placed next to Xiaogang seemed to be pulled to the side by something.

Xiao Gang: "What?"

Musashi: "What, since you are asking sincerely."

Kojiro: "We will be merciful and tell you."

(From this line and the clothes with an R on the chest, it seems that they are Team Rocket.)

Musashi: "To prevent the world from being destroyed."

Kojiro: "To protect the peace of the world."

Musashi: "Carry out the evil of love and truth."

Kojiro: "Cute and charming villain."

Musashi: "Musashi."

Kojiro: "Kojiro."

Musashi: "The Team Rocket duo that travels across the galaxy."

Kojiro: "White hole, the white one is waiting for us tomorrow."

Meowth: "That's it, meowth."

Sure enough, Weng: "So Nan Si!"

Team Rocket appeared in front of everyone in a hot air balloon.

Xiaozhi and Kacchan: "Team Rocket!"

Xiaoyao: "Give me back the black berry!"

In response to Xiaoyao's shouting, Team Rocket collectively raised their butts and acted as if they were about to leave.

Musashi: "No, I'm going to take this ink berry. Because it looks like me, it's cute and delicious."

Kojiro: "You guys just stay down there and get angry."

Meow: "Okay, then we'll take it back with us, meow."

Sure enough, Weng: "So Nan Si."

Team Rocket quickly fled the scene on a hot air balloon. After that, Xiaoyao said something to Xiaoshun, and immediately chased after them with Xiaozhi and the others. Looking at Xiaoyao's back, Xiaoshun was standing there, seemingly thinking about something.

When Heimer saw that Xiaozhi and the others had already left, he was about to come out to greet Xiaoshun. But who would have thought that before Heimer came out, Xiaoshun immediately chased after him with Poison Rose.

Watching them chasing after Team Rocket, Heimer's heart was filled with confusion.

(Do you want to go over? Xiaozhi and the others are all there. If I take this opportunity to help them, maybe I can establish friendship with them and travel together. No, no, Heimer, what are you thinking about? Why am I so nervous?)

The forest lizard saw Helmer's hesitation, so he pulled on the corner of Helmer's clothes, as if asking him to go and stop Team Rocket together with Xiaozhi and the others.

Chi Haimo: "I, I'm not ready yet, so forget it. And, besides, we still have black berries to find. Let's go, forest lizard."

The forest lizard looked at the conflicted and frightened Heimer without saying anything. It just patted his back gently to calm Heimer's emotions. After that, Heimer and the others left the scene and continued to look for black berries.

(Why am I so scared? Afraid that Xiaozhi and the others will be different from what I imagined? Afraid that I’m not good enough, and that when we travel together, Xiaozhi and the others will hate me? It seems like a little bit of both…)

After a while of searching, Heimer and his friends finally found the black berries on the edge of another cliff.

Chi Haimo: "Forest lizard, please, use lightning."

The forest lizard made a thumbs-up gesture, then jumped up with a flash of lightning, and then picked the black berry easily.

Chi Haimo: "Great, forest lizard."

After Heimer carefully wrapped the black berries in a paper bag and was about to put them in his backpack, the forest lizard looked at Heimer with drooling anticipation.

Chi Haimo: "I know, then I'll take one. After all, I picked this for Xiao Shun."

Heimer carefully picked a small fruit of the blueberry and put it into the mouth of the wood gecko. After chewing for a while, the inside of the wood gecko's mouth was instantly stained black by the blueberry juice.

Chi Haimo: "Hahahaha, look at yourself."

After Heimer took out a small mirror from his backpack, he handed it to the forest lizard.

The forest lizard saw himself in the mirror with a mouth full of black, and laughed along with Heimer.

It was not until the evening that Xiao Shun met up at the agreed location.

Chi Haimo: "Xiao Shun!"

Xiao Shun: "Have you found it? Alas, I looked around but still couldn't find it."

Seeing Xiao Shun's regretful look, Heimer slowly took out the black berries he had packed from his bag.

After seeing this, Xiao Shun said with a little surprise.

Xiao Shun: “You found it!”

Chi Haimo: "Well, here you go, this is your reward for letting me stay in a private hotel these few days."

Xiao Shun said after lifting her hair.

Xiao Shun: "Well, thank you very much, but if you really want to count, these black berries are not enough."

Chi Haimo: "Ah? Is that so? Well, then, if you need my help in the future, just come to me."

Xiao Shun took the black berry and said to Heimer with a sly smile while checking whether there was any damage on the surface of the black berry.

Xiao Shun: "Okay, then come with me now."

Chi Haimo: "Where to?"

Xiao Shun: "You'll know when you get there."
