Chapter 189 Goodbye Zhulan, a challenge from Xiaoguang

"Um...this..."

Faced with Akari's question, Hoshino was speechless for a moment. How should he say this? Say that your Team Galaxy is the villain? Directly reveal his identity as a villain?

But can this be said casually? He doesn't understand the current Galaxy team in this world, nor does he understand Chiri, who looks like a migrant worker after get off work, coming to this quiet place to eat and relax.

But fortunately, with Sai Fuhao's talent, the other party's first impression of him is definitely good, so now he should be asking questions doubtfully...

After quickly sorting out the words in his mind, Hoshino smiled more naturally: "Because I saw it on TV, but I didn't expect to meet you here, and I was afraid of disturbing you... Haha."

"Yeah……"

Chiri responded slowly, his face still expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking or whether he believed it or not.

"..."

Hoshino really didn't know what to say, what kind of luck was it, and how should he deal with such a person? He didn't know, it felt even more outrageous than Reha or Lusamine, and he couldn't see through it at all!

But Chiri then spoke again: "You are bringing a very eye-catching Pokémon with you. It seems to have unusual power, and it may attract the covetousness of others. You should know this, but you are like this

Do you feel free to put it out and take it with you?"

Listening to this incomprehensible question, Hoshino knew that he was talking about Saifuhao, but he always felt that there seemed to be more to this question than just the surface.

Of course, it is also possible that he is overthinking it. The main thing he is facing is this Chiri. Although he is not very afraid of the opponent, he is not willing to have another enemy for no reason, so it is better to be cautious.

So after thinking for a moment, he responded with a smile: "Although people's hearts are imperfect, they shouldn't think so bad of everyone, and I treat my Pokémon like my own children, naturally.

I enjoy watching them and are free to play outside happily."

"Is this your answer..."

Chiri closed his eyes. Although his expression was invisible, he seemed to be very interested in the answer. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and asked again: "Then what do you think of the world now?"

"..."

Hoshino was confused. What kind of strange philosophical question is this? Why is the difficulty getting higher and higher? This guy doesn't really want to talk about philosophy with him, does he? Don't, I can only talk nonsense and don't understand this at all!

But thinking back on his experiences since he came to this world, he knew the answer and responded with a smile: "It's not perfect, but you can live happily every day. The world should be so colorful, at least after coming here.

I love it and hope it gets better!"

"An optimistic child..."

Chiri shook his head, and then said: "But your two answers are very interesting. As a thank you, I will treat you to this dinner."

"Eh?"

Hoshino was stunned for a moment, but Akari stopped talking to him, turned around, and took the food handed over by the little Kirbymon.

At this time, the woman brought the last plate of food over. The restaurant was not large. She also heard the conversation just now and said with a smile: "Mr. Chiri, you are asking others strange questions again.

The washing machine behind my house seems to be malfunctioning again. Maybe Pokémon got into it. Can you help me check it again?"

"It must be Rotom who ran in to play. I'll go over and have a look after eating..."

After saying this, Chiri completely calmed down and started eating. Looking at this scene, Hoshino fell into deep thought and was very surprised at the same time: "This is a little different from the Chiri in my impression..."

After dinner, he picked up New Leaf Cat, took Saifuhao and the others back, and prepared to find a place to stay for one night.

But just as he was leaving the restaurant, he subconsciously looked back at Chi Ri's back, and had an inexplicable feeling that he might see him again in the future...

The night passed quickly, and Hoshino arrived at the station and boarded a bus bound for Shenhe Town. Nowadays, the main transportation routes here have basically been built with roads, so traveling there does not take too long.

This is proof of the development of the times, and it also provides convenience for some traveling trainers. At the same time, the fruit trees planted around for aesthetics help the nearby wild Pokémon survive.

"It's a completely different scenery from Alola and Padea. I don't know if it's the same in other areas. I really want to visit them all."

"Meow~"

With a smile on her face, Xinye Miao lay by the car window and enjoyed the scenery of the Sinnoh region with him, and soon, she finally arrived at her destination...

Shenhe Town is located at the foot of Tianguan Mountain. It is also known as the town that inherits the past. The residents here also call Shenhe Town the oldest town in the Sinnoh region. It existed when the green land was born.

But in fact, the origin of this legend is probably Shenhe Town, which has long since disappeared in ancient times. However, the original site of Shenhe Town may be near the ruins of Shenhe Temple located in Tianguan Mountain.

Shenhe Town may have been rebuilt at the location of someone's hermitage, but these legends have been unable to be verified because it has been so long...

Apart from those, Shenhe Town is also home to outstanding people. In addition to the current champion of the Sinnoh region, Zhulan, it is also the hometown of Dora Sena, one of the Four Heavenly Kings from Kalos.

These are the introductions that Hoshino saw in travel magazines. Shenhe Town is also considered a popular tourist attraction in the Sinnoh region, not least because the home of the Sinnoh champion Zhulan is here.

This is also the first time for Hoshino to come here. Let me tell you, he is still a little confused now and he ran so far without even realizing it.

"Hurry up and complete the process!"

He released all the Pokémon, and then walked towards the town. The station here was outside. The whole town gave people an ancient atmosphere, and there were very few modern things.

Most of the houses are made of wood, and the residents are dressed conservatively, such as the traditional costumes of the Sinnoh region, so they can be distinguished from tourists at a glance.

"Mo Lizard..."

The Motorized Lizard looked around curiously, inexplicably feeling like he had returned to ancient times. Even the Popper's dolphin, which was always relatively abnormal, was looking at its surroundings carefully this time and was not making any noise.

Although there are many tourists, Shenhe Town feels very quiet. It is not a weird kind of quiet, but quiet and peaceful. No one will consciously want to break this atmosphere.

“This is a great place to retire!”

This is Hoshino's evaluation of this place, but after getting used to it in Kabukicho, this quiet and peaceful atmosphere is a bit uncomfortable.

"Miss Zhulan, let me find her at the Shenhe Town Historical Research Institute..."

Looking at the map on the panel in front of him, he easily confirmed the route and headed there. He was really not used to not being allowed to ride the motorcycle lizard.

But just as he took a shortcut and hurried over, and just walked out of a small alley, and finally saw the only modern building in front of him, a bicycle suddenly came quickly from the side road.

The cyclist watched him suddenly walk out without reacting at all. It was impossible to avoid it at this speed, but Hoshino suddenly turned around and without even trying to dodge, he kicked the bicycle to force it to stop!

But the person sitting above flew directly out due to inertia, and finally landed on his face and slid on the ground for a distance before finally stopping.

"These days, any car can beat me, right? A bicycle? You'd better drive a Tianxing team car!"

"Mo Lizard!"

The Motorcycle Lizard looked disdainful. He really thought that he was of no use here, so you guys could be so arrogant with your cars? How could a mere modern means of transportation be better than its well-trained body?

Just as they were teaching this innocent bicycle, a girl's choking sound suddenly came from not far away.

"it hurts……"

"..."

Hearing the sound, Hoshino looked over there and saw a girl kneeling on the ground, her face covered in gray and the corners of her eyes glistening, but it could not hide her delicate and lovely appearance.

The other person had long black hair, a white scarf tied around his neck, and a white hat with a pink elf ball pattern.

Wearing a pink winter short skirt, her thighs were exposed to the air. She looked young, but she looked very embarrassed at the moment.

"I probably didn't do it..."

Hoshino shook his head, pretending not to notice, and then turned back to continue teaching the bicycle, but at this time, in the basket in front of the bicycle, a cute Bogaman screamed very angrily.

"Boga!"

As soon as the cry ended, the Bogaman's body quickly turned, its yellow beak instantly lengthened, and it stabbed forward with its pecking drill!

"Meow?"

Feeling the attack, Xinye Miao, who was held by Hoshino, opened her eyes. Then the bouquet suddenly appeared between the two parties, and exploded directly the next moment. The pollen spread around, and Pogaman was knocked away by the explosion.

It bounced twice on the ground.

"Pojia..."

"Pogaman!"

Seeing that her Bogaman was being bullied, the girl immediately got up and rushed towards this side. Hoshino didn't even look at it, so he just dodged sideways. The opponent jumped away, and when he almost hit the bicycle, he freed his hand to catch him.

Wear a scarf to avoid accidents.

"Mao Mao was just protecting me, and he didn't do anything serious. Why are you so excited?"

"Meow~"

"Look at my face and say it again!"

"I'll just pay your medical expenses."

Hoshino glanced at the other person. There were still some scratches on his face, and his makeup was completely smeared with dust. But he seemed more beautiful without makeup? But he also recognized the other person. Who else could this be if it wasn't Xiaoguang?

"It's quite a coincidence..."

"What?"

"Children, go and play by yourself. Next time you ride your bicycle, ride slower and remember to watch the road. I will let your bicycle go today, or I will touch it another day."

He let go and left Xiaoguang behind. After Hoshino paid some medical expenses, he headed towards the Shenhe Town Historical Research Institute over there. He was in a hurry now and couldn't keep Miss Zhulan waiting.

Seeing him leaving, Xiaoguang was still stunned, thinking back to the scene where the other party forced the bicycle to stop with his kick, and his subsequent actions, which were somewhat incomprehensible.

"Who is this person!"

"Pojia..."

…

Hoshino came to the gate of the Shenhe Town Historical Research Institute. He first felt the atmosphere here, and then looked around at the door before walking in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge mural, on which are carved Dialga, the God of Time, and Palkia, the God of Space. This can be regarded as the most classic sign here.

However, this mural is fake. The real one is among the Shenhe ruins behind the Shenhe Town Historical Research Institute, and it is rumored that there is more content. However, outsiders are not allowed to enter there, so there is no way to know whether it is true or not.

“It’s quite spectacular.”

"Translation woo..."

Popper's dolphin looked up at this mural and felt it was really impressive and extraordinary!

They continued to walk inside and visited all the way, but there were more things about fossil Pokémon in the back, and there was nothing eye-catching.

But soon they were stopped by someone, because if they continued walking inside, they would be within the scope of the research institute, which was not open to the public and no one could enter...

"I'm here to see Miss Zhulan, just tell her that Hoshino is here."

"Please wait a moment..."

After a moment, Hoshino was released, and before he had gone far, he saw Zhulan, whom he had not seen for a long time, looking at the information. Today, he was wearing a white shirt and work clothes, which showed off his figure.

Noticing the sight, Zhulan put the information aside and said hello with a smile: "Long time no see. You seem to have changed a lot. You must have learned a lot at Orange Grape Academy, right?"

"Miss Zhulan has not changed at all."

"It's just an illusion, my hair has grown again."

"..."

Hoshino didn't know how to answer the question for a while. This champion cabbage was still the same as when he first met him. He was obviously heroic when he was serious, but his personality in daily life was a bit playful.

During the conversation, Zhulan's eyes lingered on the Motorized Lizard for a moment, as if confirming something, but she quickly took it back and continued: "I will take you to go through the competition procedures later, so don't worry, stay here for a while.

Okay, there's another person coming over soon, I just have something to do..."

Before he finished speaking, the disgraced Xiaoguang walked over from outside with Bogaman in his arms. His face was full of depression, as if he was about to complain to someone, but he suddenly saw someone here and was stunned.

"..."

Hoshino didn't want to talk anymore, but Zhulan stepped forward, bent down slightly, and asked with some worry: "What happened to you? Did you fall off your bike?"

"Uh... almost."

Xiaoguang responded in a low voice, and then smiled: "But it's no problem! It's just a minor injury!"

"Wash your face and I'll get you a band-aid. Girls should pay attention to their image when they go out."

"No need, Sister Zhulan, I have it."

Looking at the conversation, the two people seemed to have a good relationship. Then Xiaoguang looked at Hoshino and asked curiously: "Who is he? I haven't seen him before."

Zhulan glanced back and seemed to see something. She put her hands on her hips and said with a smile: "His name is Hoshino. He is one of the trainers from Alola. He is very strong. You may not be my opponent."

"Then can I challenge him?"
