Chapter 73: A Trip to Akiba Town (with Ichigo 1)
(I often think that if I could become a tree, it would be a very good thing, watching my leaves slowly turn from green to yellow, feeling the changes of the four seasons on my body, drinking dew, eating sunshine, and after being cut down, I could become chopsticks, textbooks, etc., well, I hope I won’t become toilet paper.)
Xiao Shun: "Heimer!"
After Xiao Shun's shout, Heimer gradually came back to his senses.
Chi Haimo: "Ah? What's wrong?"
Xiao Shun: "I called you several times but you didn't respond. What are you thinking about?"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, nothing, um, nothing."
The two of them were currently sitting in a kind farmer's car. As the farmer's destination happened to be Qiuye Town as well, Heimer and the others were able to get a ride.
Looking at the falling leaves on both sides of the road, Heimer leaned against the car window and said to Xiaoshun comfortably.
Chi Haimo: "Xiao Shun, it's great that you can live to this day."
When Xiao Shun heard this, he put his hand on Heimer's forehead in confusion, then closed his eyes and felt it.
Chi Haimo: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Shun: "Well, are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing Xiao Shun's words, Heimer said a little angrily.
Chi Haimo: "You, can't I sigh?"
Xiao Shun spread his hands helplessly, then said with a smile.
Xiao Shun: "Sorry, then you can continue."
Chi Haimo: "Hmph..."
After arriving at Akiba Town and thanking the kind farmer, Heimer went to the hospital to have his wisdom teeth removed first, while Xiao Shun went to register for the Akiba Conference.
Just like the forest they passed by before, there were many wild Pokémon on the streets of Akihabara Town, and everyone seemed to be used to it. After Heimer had his teeth pulled in the hospital, he felt a pain in his head as well, a pain that was so severe that it felt like he was being torn apart.
Just as Heimer was on his way to the Pokémon Center to meet up with Funk, the Toad appeared again, and this time he seemed to have learned new moves before coming to challenge.
Fire Chicken: "Xia Mo!"
Torch's eyes widened, and he immediately created many clones of himself. It seemed that he would not let Hammer go unless Hammer agreed to let Snake or Shaky Dog fight him.
Chi Haimo: "Well, let's fight in the open space in the park over there."
Seeing that Heimer agreed to fight with him, Torch happily took back his shadow clone and came to the open space in the park before Heimer.
Fire Chicken: "Xia Mo Xia Mo!"
Chi Haimo: "Here it comes."
Heimer endured the pain and took out Snake's Poké Ball. With a flash of white light, Snake appeared domineeringly in the open space.
After Snake saw Fire Chicken and then saw Helmer's cheek, Snake's eyes looked at Fire Chicken even more ferocious.
Rice Spoon Snake: "Hamen!"
Chi Haimo: "Huh? What's wrong? Rice Spoon Snake?"
Seeing that Spoon Snake was staring at his cheek, Heimer took out a small mirror in confusion, and found that his cheek had begun to swell.
(Ah, could it be that Spoon Snake thought that my cheeks were starting to swell because of Turkey?)
Just as Heimer was about to explain, the Fire Chicken used its shadow clone. Seeing this, Snake didn't wait for Heimer's instructions and swept it with its poisonous tail. All the clones were broken up by Snake, and the Fire Chicken was hit by the poisonous tail on the spot and lost its ability to fight.
Heimer touched the spoon snake's head and said gently.
Chi Haimo: "Spoon Snake, that, this on my face, it wasn't done by Turkey Chick."
Rice Spoon Snake: "Hamen?!"
Chi Haimo: "Well, never mind. Fire Chicken originally wanted to challenge you anyway."
After Fire Chicken recovered some strength, just like last time, he let out a tearful scream and ran away.
Chi Haimo: "It looks like he will come again later."
Hearing what Heimer said, Fansnake nodded in agreement. At this time, Heimer's pocket navigator rang.
Heimer opened it and found that it was a message from Xiao Shun.
[Heimer, since there is no room left at the Pokémon Center's training ground, Poison Rose and I are going to the nearby forest to train for the Gorgeous Contest. Sorry, time is tight, so I can't go to Qiuye Town with you this afternoon.]
After reading the text message, Heimer replied directly to Xiaoshun.
[Well, that's it. It's alright. I'll just go shopping alone this afternoon.]
Chi Haimo: "Fanshi Snake, do you want to go to Qiuye Town with me this afternoon?"
Rice Spoon Snake: "Hamen! Hamen~"
After hearing this, the spoon snake happily wrapped its body around Heimer, and seemed very happy that Heimer was willing to invite him.
Just like that, on the streets of Qiuye Town, a handsome guy with a swollen and deformed face and a snake were strolling on the street. Passers-by looked back when they saw them, as if they were wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes.
(Hmm, I wonder when the swelling on my face after having my wisdom teeth removed will go away.)
When passing by a flower shop, Spoon Snake's eyes lit up. It seemed that the beautiful bouquets in the closet were very popular with Spoon Snake.
Chi Haimo: "Do you like it?"
After hearing what Heimer said, Spoon Snake immediately shook his head to deny it, as if he was afraid to admit that he liked flowers.
After seeing the subtle change in the expression on Snake's face, Heimer smiled gently and said.
Chi Haimo: "Well, it's just right. I want to buy some bouquets as gifts for everyone. Rice Spoon Snake, can you help me choose?"
When Snake heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face, but because he was being watched by Heimer, he immediately stopped smiling. It seemed that he really didn't want others to know that he liked flowers.
After Spoon Snake nodded slightly in agreement, Heimer entered the flower shop with him. After entering the flower shop, they found that the decoration here was very fresh. The macaron color scheme and the embellishment of flowers made it look very fairy-tale.
A female clerk who was dressed elegantly was startled when she saw Hammer and Spoon Snake, but she immediately calmed down, seemingly because of her professionalism.
Salesperson: "Hello, how can I help you?"
Chi Haimo: "I want to send some flowers to the Pokémon."
Shop assistant: "For Pokémon, I suggest giving a wreath. It's quite popular now."
Chi Haimo: "Is that so."
After entering the flower shop, Snake stared at the pink roses next to him, and it seemed that he liked them very much.
Chi Haimo: "Well, then I want nine wreaths and a bouquet of flowers."
Shop assistant: "Then please write down the type of Pokémon you want so we can make it for you."
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay."
After Heimer filled out the information of his Pokémon at the counter, the clerk put it in the drawer of the counter and said with a smile.
Shop assistant: "By the way, you can take the bouquet now. Who do you want to give it to? Your lover?"
Chi Haimo: "Best friend."
Shop assistant: "I see. What kind of person is he?"
Hearing the clerk's question, Heimer spoke directly.
Chi Haimo: "Well, be excellent and work hard."
When the clerk heard this, he quickly waved his hands.
Shop assistant: "Oh, no, I mean, what kind of existence is he to you?"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, oh, um..."
(Shun, um, although when I first met him, I just regarded him as a strong rival, but now...)
After thinking for a while, Heimer spoke slowly.
Chi Haimo: "To me, he is like a reliable elder brother, who takes care of me, helps me, and treats me very well. Well, we have been through a lot together. I hope that I can help him more in the future. Well, to me, he is a, a..."
Seeing Heimer hesitating, the clerk smiled and said.
Shop assistant: "Well, then perhaps this bouquet of buckwheat flowers would be a good gift for him."
The clerk took a few buckwheat flowers from the shelf and handed them to Heimer. Heimer took the buckwheat flowers. The white flowers and fresh leaves looked like fresh flowers that could embellish life.
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay, let's take this one."
After Heimer paid the money, the clerk carefully wrapped the buckwheat flowers for him. Then Heimer walked out of the flower shop with the bouquet and the rice spoon snake.
