Chapter 673: Xiao Juer's invitation and Feng Lu's distress
"It's you?" Yang Ming was a little surprised. "I only revealed the account to Feng Lu. How did you know?"
"Haha, actually I was the one who revealed this idea to Feng, so of course she told me, her good sister, first," Xiao Juer said proudly, "There's a new challenger in this girl's gym, so I had to get there first."
"I really don't understand you guys. Do you have to argue over even such a small matter..." Yang Ming was a little speechless. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"It's like this. My agent has arranged for me to go to the Alola region in three months to carry out activities. As my host, you must take me around."
"That's no problem. If I'm still alive in three months, I will definitely treat you well." Yang Ming agreed without hesitation.
"You're still as cold as ever. Let's make a deal. Don't leave me alone because you're obsessed with training Pokémon again."
"Of course. When have I ever done such an immoral thing?" Yang Ming agreed readily, but he thought that with his personality, he would probably forget about it by then.
Feng Lu finally arrived after finishing her private chat with Xiao Juer. However, when she noticed that someone had already been added to Yang Ming's friend list, she suddenly became uneasy.
"Damn it, I clearly agreed that I would be your first friend, but I didn't expect that girl Xiao Juer would get there first! Really, I thought of her as a good sister."
"Are you really angry over such a trivial matter?" Yang Ming was speechless. At the same time, he felt that Feng Lu was a little cute for being angry over such a trivial matter.
"I don't care. You've been cuddling with her in my dreams lately. I can't really let her get too close to you."
"Don't be so ridiculous. This is just a dream. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now."
"Actually, there is one more thing," Feng Lu said hurriedly, "Xiao Juer recently invited me to partner with her for a photo shoot. I don't know whether I should agree, so I want you to give me some advice."
"Xiao Juer invited you to be a photo model?" Yang Ming was a little surprised.
"I'm just a part-time model. As you know, I'm still too inexperienced as a gym leader, so there have been few challengers to the Fukiyose Gym. In order to increase the popularity of the gym, Kikuer came up with this idea for me."
"Using the identity of a photo model to improve the gym's reputation, this is a good idea," Yang Ming thought for a moment, "but don't you still have a job as a pilot? It won't have any impact, right?"
"Being a photo model is just a part-time job. It certainly won't affect my work as a pilot or gym leader," Feng Lu explained. "I'm just worried whether my looks and figure are up to the task."
"Don't worry, I think you can definitely do this job."
"But Xiao Juer is so dazzling. I always feel insignificant when standing next to her." Feng Lu was still a little unconfident.
"No, although Xiao Juer is fair-skinned, beautiful and has 1-meter-tall long legs, I think your figure is no worse than hers." Yang Ming started to speak incoherently in order to comfort her.
"Really? After hearing what you said, I feel even less confident..."
"In short, you have to have confidence in yourself," Yang Ming encouraged very seriously, "I am a strong-willed person, and I will make a career in the Alola region sooner or later. As a friend, I also hope that you can have a happy life and become a popular gym leader."
"Being able to work with the popular model Kikuer is a great opportunity for you and Fukiyose Gym. You must not miss this opportunity to increase your popularity!"
“I hope that when we meet next time, we can both achieve something in our respective fields.”
Seeing Yang Ming motivating her like this, Feng Lu seemed to have made up her mind. She quickly responded: "Since this is your wish, I will definitely work hard to become a gym leader worthy of you."
"Well, it's a good thing to have such enthusiasm."
"By the way, I heard recently that a murderer who calls himself the Giant Shark King appeared in the Kalos area. You must be careful there."
Yang Ming smiled: "Don't worry, the so-called giant shark king is just a small goldfish in my eyes."
After finishing the private message with Feng Lu, Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to considering Feng Lu, he also had his own reasons for supporting Feng Lu to become a photo model.
I have been getting busier and busier recently, and I am afraid that it is difficult to have time to chat with Feng Lu. If I can give Feng Lu another job so that she can focus on other things, it will be a good thing for both of us.
"I have finally taken care of one thing that bothered me," Yang Ming thought to himself, "Now I have to concentrate on my 'big thing'."
…………
Late at night, in the town of Ishika in the northwest of the Kalos region, people dressed in pirate costumes poured in. They were dressed uniformly and well-trained, with a fierce look on everyone's face. They were from the underground organization of the Hoenn region - the Water Fleet, and they had been in the Kalos region for several days.
The leader of this group of people was none other than Haichao, the cadre who had fought with Yang Ming in the "Santiano Incident". However, his face looked very solemn at this moment, as if he had encountered some trouble.
"Damn it, I lost him again!"
"Are you also here to look for the descendants of the Meteor People?"
At this moment, a cold female voice sounded from behind. Haichao turned his head suddenly and saw another group of people wearing red cloaks appearing behind them.
"It's you, Huoyan! Who would have thought that the leader of the Huoyan team this time would be you?!"
When he saw clearly that the leader of the other party was a petite purple-haired girl, Haichao's face suddenly became very ugly. He knew very well that this three-no girl with a delicate face like a porcelain doll was essentially a moody sickly woman.
"You don't have to act like you want to eat me," Huoyan said expressionlessly. "Although our goal is the same, it will not be good for us to start a war before we find Xijiana."
"Don't forget that this is Kalos, not Hoenn. In addition to the Kalos Alliance, there is also a local tyrant called Team Flare."
"Is that meteorite called Xijiana?" Haichao snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you to be so familiar with her."
"I can't help it. Xijiana and I once had some 'karma'," Huoyan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "I swore to settle this account with her personally."
"Well, since there is no need for us to fight each other, let's live in peace for the time being," Haichao said, "but during this period, you can't tear up our peace agreement."
"…I know this without you telling me."
In Biyi City, which is only one city away from Shixiang Town, a petite figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"I finally got rid of those two followers. I wonder if the legendary dragon Pokémon Zygarde is still in that place..."
