Chapter 173: Set off to Caiyou City. (First meeting with Zheye)

The Hoenn Alliance's Caiyou Conference will open in a few days. In order to arrive early, Heimer plans to pack his luggage and head to Caiyou City today.

How should I put it, although Heimer mainly focuses on the gorgeous competition, the competition in the Hoenn League also makes Heimer excited.

Because for themselves and Pokémon, those badges are the crystallization of hard work and the proof of glory.

Moreover, Heimer's Pokémon all looked very happy to be able to show their skills in the Hoenn League, especially Poison Rose. After knowing that they were going to Caiyou City today, she jumped up with excitement and told Heimer that she wanted to be the first to go on the field.

After packing his luggage, Heimer said goodbye to everyone in the institute and set off for Caiyou City.

For some reason, the moment he got on the ship, Heimer felt that his journey in Hoenn was about to end.

Maybe it's an illusion...

After Heimer got off the ship and arrived in Caiyou City, he immediately went to the Pokémon Center and asked Miss Joy to do a health check for everyone.

Before everyone finished their inspection, Heimer decided to walk around the streets of Caiyou City by himself.

Just as Heimer was walking slowly on the street alone, a sweet fragrance suddenly came from the street.

Chi Haimo: "What is this smell, strawberry puff?"

(Ah~ It smells so good!! Go buy some and eat it with everyone after everyone’s checkup is over.)

Following the strong aroma of strawberries, Heimer accidentally bumped into someone while looking for the source.

Just when Heimer was about to fall, the man immediately reached out and grabbed Heimer.

Tetsuya: "Ah, you're alright."

Chi Haimo: "It's okay, ah, sorry for bumping into you."

Hearing what Heimer said, Zhe also smiled cheerfully.

Tetsuya: "Ahahaha, it's okay, it's okay. We bumped into each other. I want to apologize to you too."

Chi Haimo: "Ah, it's okay."

At this time, Heimer caught a glimpse of Meow Meow wearing boots and immediately recognized the man in front of him, it was Tetsuya!!

Zheya is very tall, and looks to be about 1.85 meters tall. His strong facial contours and calm features make him look like a wandering knight, unrestrained and free when he smiles.

Tetsuya: "Huh? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Chi Haimo: "Ah, no, no, I just thought you looked familiar."

Tetsuya: “Hahaha, really.”

At this moment, Heimer suddenly noticed that the fragrance emanating from the bag in Zheye's hand was the same charming strawberry scent that he had smelled on the street before.

So, Heimer asked carefully in a low voice.

Chi Haimo: "Well, let me ask you, what's in the bag in your hand?"

Tetsuya: "Oh, this is the Supreme Strawberry Puff, which is limited to Caiyou City."

Chi Haimo: "Oh, I see. Where can I buy this?"

Tetsuya: "Yes, it's the store in front, but it's sold out today."

Chi Haimo: "Ah, so that's it..."

Seeing Heimer's disappointed expression, Zheya spoke to him generously.

Tetsuya: "Well, I bought three. I'll give you one."

Chi Haimo: "Ah, this, this is embarrassing."

Tetsuya: "Oh, it's okay."

After Tetsuya finished speaking, he smiled and handed one of the paper boxes of strawberry puffs in the bag to Heimer.

Chi Haimo: "Well, sorry, I still can't accept it."

Seeing Heimer's embarrassment, Zheye thought for a while and said with a smile.

Tetsuya: "Well, let's put it this way. We are going to a fried noodles restaurant that is only available in Caiyou City for lunch. The price of that bowl of fried noodles is the same as the price of this strawberry cream puff. You take my puff and then treat me to a bowl of fried noodles. This way, we will be even."

When Zheya said this, Heimer thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said to him.

Chi Haimo: "Yeah, that's OK, let's go."

Tetsuya: "Hahaha, ok, by the way, my name is Tetsuya, what should I call you?"

Chi Haimo: "My name is Chi Haimo, just call me Haimo."

Tetsuya: "Yeah, what a nice name. Then, Heimer, let's go, let's go! Let's go!"

Heimer could see that Zhe really liked food, and on the way to the fried noodles restaurant, the two had a great conversation.

Tetsuya: "I see, Haimo, you are here to attend the Caiyou Conference as well."

Chi Haimo: “Well, yes.”

After arriving at the fried noodle shop, Heimer ordered two bowls of the signature fried noodles, then sat next to Zheya and waited with him expectantly.

Tetsuya: "I wanted to try this fried noodles restaurant when I saw it on a forum. Hmm~ Looking at the aroma, this bowl of fried noodles must be delicious."

Chi Haimo: "Hahaha, I think so too."

In the fried noodles restaurant, Zheya finished eating the fried noodles in big mouthfuls and showed a very satisfied expression.

Tetsuya: "Ahh!!! It's so delicious!!!"

Chi Haimo: "Yeah! Really! Both the aroma and the taste are great!"

Heimer and Zheya saw that the other liked the fried noodles of this restaurant as much as they did. After smiling at each other, Zheya said with a hearty smile.

Tetsuya: "Hahaha, my biggest hobby is tasting all kinds of food."

Chi Haimo: "Yeah, me too."

Looking at Heimer's happy smile, Zheye couldn't help but smile.

Tetsuya: "Then it seems that we might be compatible."

Chi Haimo: "Oh, by the way, Boss, could you please give me six more servings of fried noodles?"

Boss: “Okay.”

Tetsuya: "Hmm? Can you finish it?"

Chi Haimo: "No, I brought it for my Pokémon."

Tetsuya: "Oh, hahaha, it seems you cherish everyone very much."

Chi Haimo: "Yes, everyone is a very important friend to me."

At this time, Heimer looked at the world on the Pocket Navigator and spoke gently to Zheya.

Chi Haimo: "It's getting late, Brother Zheye, I'm leaving first."

Tetsuya: “Yeah, okay.”

After Heimer got up and left, Zheya realized that Heimer did not take the strawberry puff.

So, Zheye quickly picked up the puff and ran out of the fried noodle shop, and chased after him with Meow Meow.

Tetsuya: "Heimer!"

Hearing Zheya's voice, Heimer turned around in confusion.

Chi Haimo: "What's wrong?"

Tetsuya: “This, you forgot to take it.”

After Zheya handed the paper box of puffs to Heimer, Heimer smiled happily and said.

Chi Haimo: "Hahaha, maybe the fried noodles were too delicious, so I forgot about it."

Tetsuya: “Hahaha, yes, it is indeed possible.”

Heimer took the box, then said goodbye to Tetsuya and Meowth and set out on the road back to the Pokémon Center.

Looking at Heimer's back, Zheye said to Meow Meow with a smile.

Tetsuya: "Let's go too, meow."

Meow: "Meow."
