Chapter 474 Double Leaf Ceremony
After a day and night of sailing, Xiaozhi and his crew successfully disembarked at Masaga Port.
"Pikachu, 100,000 volts~"
Boom! Fireworks exploded in the woods near the port, and Team Rocket, who had been following them all the way, soared into the sky.
"No, he'll be killed as soon as he shows his head?" Kojiro widened his eyes.
"You haven't even finished your opening remarks yet!" Musashi raised his hand in protest.
"I feel like Pikachu's attacks have become more powerful lately, meow." Meowth nodded in approval.
"What a disgusting feeling..."
Watching the three idiots turn into stars in the sky, Xiaozhi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's move around and feel refreshed. Let's go back to Shuangye Town."
"Oh, Xiaozhi~" Before anyone could take out their folding bicycles, a familiar voice rang out.
Professor Oak passed by in his floral shirt and a red convertible sports car.
Serena: "Professor Oak!"
Xiaoguang: "The poet of Chuan Liu?!"
"Damu! Look at yourself, how do the kids look at you!" the old man in the co-pilot seat said angrily.
"grandfather?"
"Dr. Yamanashi?!" Now it was Xiaozhi and Minghui's turn to be surprised.
"Why are you all here at the same time?"
“That’s because I’ve been studying the ecology of the Ten Kings with my seniors at the Yamanashi Research Institute recently.
Then, it happened that Ayako from Futaba Town invited me to give a lecture, and I gladly accepted it." Dr. Oak spread his hands.
"Yes, I went there for this lecture as well." Dr. Yamanashi nodded seriously.
"What a coincidence! We are also planning to return to Shuangye Town." Xiaoguang said in surprise.
"That's great, you guys can get in the car behind." Yamanashi pointed to the back.
In an extended station wagon, two big enemies, Kaiqing and Mr. Berlitz, showed their heads. They are really good brothers, and now they have been ordered by Aunt Caizi not to return to Shuangye Town unless necessary.
So, taking advantage of this celebration, the two of them are preparing to go back and see Ayako.
Minghui and Xiaoguang looked at the two fathers speechlessly: "You guys won't do anything embarrassing, right?"
"Of course, let's get in the car." Kai Qing helplessly pulled a few people into the car.
Thinking of the complicated relationship between these two and the four children of Xiaoguang's family, Xiaozhi could only sigh helplessly: What a sin...
Serena could only cover her mouth and laugh.
After all, the speed of the vehicle is faster than that of the legs. In less than half an hour, everyone entered Shuangye Town along the main road.
Apart from the asphalt roads on the main roads, the lush woods, and the sparsely populated buildings scattered around, it feels a bit like a real new town.
It should be said that every region has a small town that is blessed by nature, and the one in Sinnoh is Futaba Town.
If Masaga Town was not close to the port and the scenery was not equally pleasant, Dr. Yamanashi might have placed the research institute in Futaba Town.
As the vehicle entered Shuangye Town, it was immediately surrounded by the lively atmosphere of the town.
Streamers and colorful flags were hung at the entrance, and various temporary venues were being set up in full swing.
Stalls are marked on both sides of the main road.
These are special signs of celebration.
In the large open space at the end of the road, a bald old man was chatting with the townspeople. Then he saw Xiaozhi and his companions entering the village, or rather, the town.
"Mina-san~I'll give you a thumbs up~" Kai Qing stuck her head out and casually touched her long black hair.
"Ayako's husband, you're back." The uncle said in surprise.
"Well~and me." Mr. Bellrich was a respectable man after all, and his face turned red before he even opened his mouth.
There was a deafening silence.
The mayor patted his belly to ease the embarrassment and said, "Ahem, well, the main venue is set here, quickly mark out the area."
With that, everyone pretended to be busy and left.
"You two should not go to Ayako's house for now. Everyone is busy with the celebration recently. Ayako, as an honorary committee member, is very busy." The mayor said helplessly.
The two living dads could only scratch their heads and get back into the car.
"We are going to the guesthouse to rest. Xiaoguang, you guys go home. Cai'er must miss you." Kaiqing opened the car door, and Xiaozhi and Serena got out quickly.
"You've had a hard time traveling. When we get back to our villa in Masaga Town, I'll treat you and your friends well." Uncle Berriti smiled elegantly and said appropriately.
"Yeah~" Xiaoguang nodded and was pulled out of the car by Minghui.
Looking at the two people's little hands, Kai Qing looked at Belrich with a beaming face: "It feels like we are destined to be a family."
Bellrich clenched his fist, and couldn't help it, so he directly smashed Kaiqing's electric cannon onto the car window.
"Fuck, Lao Bei, you are serious!"
The two of them immediately started to argue with each other, and suddenly a stern look came over.
Dr. Yamanashi crossed his arms and sat firmly in the car: "Fight, why don't you fight?"
The two old men broke out in cold sweats and shook their heads together.
"Hmph~" Dr. Yamanashi snorted coldly: "Drive~"
The two of them sat down obediently and the vehicle started again.
On the other side, Xiaozhi and his friends finally arrived at Xiaoguang's house. The little house that they had not seen for a long time was Xiaoguang's warm and cozy home.
"I'm back!!" Xiao Guang pushed the door open and called out, "Mom, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
"Kid, you only know how to eat." A doting voice sounded, and Aunt Ayako walked out gracefully with her arms folded.
"Welcome back, Xiaoguang, and everyone." Diamond came out of the kitchen holding a plate of cookies.
"Brother Diao, you're back." Xiaoguang said with a smile.
"Hey, long time no see." Xiaozhi also nodded with a smile.
Dai Ya scratched his head innocently: "Plantina wants me to take the researcher exam, so I'm studying at home recently."
"What about Platinum?" Minghui asked curiously.
"She has been invited by the Association of Female Doctors to give some training lectures and will not be back for a few days." Dai Ya nodded.
"Okay, everyone, stop standing and sit down and chat." After greeting Xiaozhi and the others, Ayako warmly invited them to sit down.
Sitting around the table in the living room, everyone drank tea and told travel stories.
Everyone curiously asked Ayako about the upcoming Futaba Festival.
"As I remember, isn't the Futaba Festival the town's own festival? Why do I feel like it's on such a large scale this time?" Xiaoguang asked curiously.
Ayako smiled and said, "That's because of the mutual support between Johto and Sinnoh. This year's Johto special will start with the Futaba Festival.
Then, with the merger of the Johto Battle Special Zone and the Kanto Battle Frontier Zone, Langlang-san and another pioneer brain will hold an exhibition match here.
It can be regarded as a pioneering effort to combine the two major battle fronts into one for warm-up and publicity.
With so many factors combined, this year's Futaba Festival has become a real grand celebration.
In addition to traditional events such as singing and dancing performances, fireworks displays, and bonfire dances.
This time, we also added various activities such as goldfish scooping competition, battle competition, and Pokémon lectures.”
"Lecture?" Minghui widened his eyes excitedly.
"Battle Tournament!" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up.
"Hey, Xiaoqing, Xiaoguang, you came back and didn't come to see me. You'll be fined!" As they were talking, Ah Xun's voice came from outside the door.
Looking at A'tun who was approaching, Dai Ya raised his hand and gave him a big fight.
Pah! Everyone was stunned, only Diamond ate his cookie calmly: "That... that face, I just couldn't help it..."
“Pfft…” Minghui burst out laughing: “This is the funniest joke you’ve ever told.”
"Eh? Really?" Dai Ya was still shy.
"Well, this slap is a debt owed by your brother, you can return it to Pal later." A middle-aged handsome man with blond hair walked forward: "Long time no see, Xiao Cai~"
Aunt Caizi stood up with a smile: "The pride of Shuangye Town, the invincible Ganlang Sang, Sashi ignores me~"
Xiaozhi and Minghui looked at each other in bewilderment: Invincible? Let me meet you!
To be continued...
