Chapter 66: Meeting Jianwu

Chapter 66: Meeting Jianwu

After experiencing the Baofen production, Xiaoguang quickly started training to prepare for tomorrow's Garden Conference.

In the training ground of the Pokémon Center.

"Curly Ears, use Freeze Ray."

"rice."

At Xiaoguang's command, Juanjuan'er leaped into the air, condensed an ice-blue light with his little hands and released it to the ground. Under Juanjuan'er's operation, the freezing light painted an ice paradise on the venue like a paintbrush.

"Then use the awakening power."

After hearing Xiaoguang's command, Juanjuan'er shouted and condensed countless small red fireballs around his body. These were Juanjuan'er's own awakened power - fire.

Then the fireballs were dotted in the ice paradise. The fireballs did not melt when they came into contact with the ice, but instead merged with each other, like flowers of life blooming in the ice.

clap clap.

"Very good. This time, Juanjuan'er's skills were very good. He will definitely win the first place in this Garden Competition."

Xiaoyun, who was watching nearby, gave the girl her applause without hesitation.

"Great! I must win the ribbon medal this time."

Originally, Xiaoguang was planning to use Pachirisu to perform, but Xiaoyun said that Pachirisu is active by nature and would inevitably be nervous on his first performance, so it would be better to let Pachirisu watch from the side and let Curly Ear perform.

She thought it made sense and agreed, and it looked like the show Xiao Guang should be good.

"By the way, Xiaoguang, Miss Joy just asked you to come over. It should be a matter of Pokémon eggs."

Xiaoyun said that Miss Joy had just come to see Xiaoguang, but Xiaoguang was at a critical moment in his training, so he planned to let Xiaoguang go over later.

"Oh, okay, I'll go check it out now."

As soon as Xiaoguang heard it and agreed, he immediately trotted towards the house.

"Curly Ears, let's take a rest over there and wait for Xiao Guang."

After watching Xiaoguang run away in a hurry, Xiaoyun and Juanjuan'er were left staring at each other. Xiaoyun looked at the recliner beside them and touched Juanjuan'er's little head and made a suggestion.

"Mi!" Curly-eared boy squinted his eyes comfortably after being touched. It was obvious that Xiaoyun also had some skills.

"Oh my, this is so comfortable."

Lying on a chair wearing sunglasses and drinking lemonade with a straw from time to time, Xiaoyun hummed comfortably as he felt the life going on.

"Xiaoyun?"

"Hmm? Who called me?"

Xiaoyun, who was lying on a chair, heard someone calling his name. He took off his sunglasses and began to look around for the source of the voice.

Xiao Yun glanced around and saw a man with brown hair, long bangs and a green sweatshirt, who was looking at him uncertainly.

"Well, isn't this Kengo? Long time no see."

After seeing who was coming, Xiaoyun sat up from the recliner and greeted the visitor lazily.

The man who came was Jianwu, a fellow from the town, and in some ways Xiaoyun's love rival. However, Xiaoyun did not take him seriously. At most, he was just a... ahem, a friend.

Moreover, Jianwu set out two months earlier than Xiaoyun, and now happened to come to Yuanzhi Town to attend the Yuanzhi Conference.

Jianwu himself came to the training ground to prepare for tomorrow's preliminary round, but when he saw the figure lying on the recliner next to the training ground, he felt that the figure looked familiar, so he asked tentatively, and it turned out to be Xiaoyun.

Jianwu then walked closer and said, "Xiaoyun, it's really you. Before, Ah Xun and I called you but you didn't come out. What's wrong? Now you are willing to leave the town."

"I don't think this makes sense. The world is so big and I want to go see it~"

Xiaoyun said casually that the real reason was that he refused to go with these two people. One of them was straight and the other was a money-grubbing guy, which really lowered his status. Wouldn't it be better to be with Xiaoguang?

"Is this Curly-eared Pokémon yours?"

Jianwu looked at the little rabbit sitting in Xiaoyun's arms and asked curiously.

"Well, more or less."

Xiaoyun touched the curly rabbit ears and replied, Xiaoguang's are his, um...no problem.

As the saying goes, when friends meet, comparisons are made from the very beginning. Kengo began to secretly compare his Pokémon with Xiaoyun's when he saw Xiaoyun. However, he lost interest when he saw that Xiaoyun had only captured an ordinary rabbit.

"That's cute. By the way, how far have you come in your journey? How many gyms have you challenged?" He then began to inquire about Xiaoyun's current progress.

"Zizi, I just challenged the Black Gold Gym a while ago and was planning to go to the EMI Gym."

Xiaoyun took a sip of his drink and began to talk about his journey. Chatting is always a one-liner. After he finished speaking, he looked at Jianwu and said, "What about Master Jianwu? I'm sure you gained a lot from this trip."

"You just got one badge, you're not that fast. I've already got two ribbon medals. And I heard that Ajin has defeated the Baidai Gym and is preparing to go to the Enno City to challenge the Enno Gym."

After knowing that Xiaoyun only had one badge, Jianwu suddenly felt superior and kept talking about his brilliant achievements, completely forgetting that he had set out two months earlier.

"It's okay~, I'm not in a hurry, just take your time."

“When traveling, you should also enjoy the process.”

Xiaoyun spread his hands with a lazy and nonchalant look.

"Look, you don't understand this, don't you? Things like this require speed. We set out early, which saves us a lot of trouble.

Jianwu looked at Xiaoyun and thought she was really avoiding the truth, so he started chattering again.

Oh, right, the two... Xiao Guang is not with you, right?" Jian Wu originally wanted to say the two lights, but he noticed that Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly became dangerous, so he quickly changed his words and his eyes returned to normal.

"She, she is..."

Xiaoyun was about to speak when he burped and patted his chest hard. He was interrupted by Jianwu just as he was about to speak.

"I knew he wouldn't be with you, right?"

Jianwu felt that Xiaoguang must have rejected him, otherwise why didn't he say it quickly and even pretended to burp. He was discovered by someone as smart as he was, and he couldn't help but start to answer immediately.

"that...."

"I knew it. Even though she seems to have a good relationship with you in town, she is a girl after all, so things like traveling are still different."

Jianwu had already imagined what would happen next. Xiaoguang must not want to be with Xiaoyun. He knew that Xiaoguang still had him in his heart, and this was all to avoid suspicion! So he began to talk nonstop.

"I...."

"I know you're sad, but this kind of thing is not something you can just do as you wish. What if the other person also wants to be with someone else?"

People who are trapped in illusions only want to hear what they want to hear.

Obviously, Jianwu was already trapped in the illusion and couldn't extricate himself, so he didn't care what Xiaoyun said at all. He felt that he had discovered the key point of the matter.

Jianwu imagined that after they finished chatting, he would call Xiaoguang to ask him where he was, and then the two of them would travel together.

"Okay, you're right."

Xiaoyun said that as long as you are happy, it's fine. Anyway, you can only watch, and Xiaoyun still has this kind of tolerance.

"That's right. You just need to be more open-minded about this kind of thing. Look, Xiao Guang is here."

"No, Hikaru!!!"
