Chapter 349 Goodbye Xiaozhao, invitation from the World Championships

A ray of sunshine broke through the curtains in the morning and fell in front of their window. Hoshino, who was wearing pajamas, was rubbing his still slightly numb arms. He didn't know exactly when he was pillowed, and he couldn't remember at all.

Lillie sat aside and smiled awkwardly, with a slight blush on her face, as if she had done it last night, because it made it easier to hold the other person, and the pillow was quite comfortable.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to rub it for you?"

"It's okay, just be happy."

Hoshino smiled and put down his hand, and the two fell asleep in a daze. Although nothing happened, this unique feeling was really the first time, and it was like satisfying some beautiful fantasies from the past.

Then he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, opened the curtains, and let the sunlight fully shine in. Then he turned sideways and said, "It's almost time to get up. Look at your hair. It's so messy every time you wake up. Go and tidy it up."

Well, what do you want to eat in the morning?”

"Well... I feel like I want to eat a lot. Forget it, let's just do the same as usual."

After saying that, Lillie also got off the bed, feeling the warm sunshine, opened her arms, stretched her body, and then looked at Hoshino with a playful smile: "It's more comfortable to hold you than to hold a pillow~"

"I'm only one level above the pillow."

"Ha ha."

The two of them smiled and left the room together, both of them consciously not mentioning some of the more embarrassing things that happened last night, just tacitly understanding it.

They all know that if either party fails to control it, they may not be able to stop, but this day may be coming soon, after all, they are both adults...

But after leaving the room, Lillie suddenly discovered that there were some sawdust on the floor in front of the door. Then she turned around in confusion and saw some scratches on the door that had been left by someone unknown.

"Who scratched the door last night? You have to pay for it..."

"..."

After breakfast, Hoshino finished the unfinished work last night and finally relaxed. The two of them originally planned to watch the game first and then return to Alola.

However, now that the World Championship has been postponed, it will not start for several days, and they have nothing to be busy with, so they decided to take advantage of these few days to challenge the gym in the Carlos area!

So after discussing it, they challenged Fu Ye in Biyi City on the same day and successfully obtained the plant badge, which was one step closer to participating in the assessment of professional trainers.

After that, they returned to Miare City and planned the next challenge route. For them, the gym challenge is really not that difficult except for a few special gyms.

The only thing that might stop them is that the gym trainer refuses to accept the challenge...

Even so, in the last few days, they obtained the Fairy Badge from Ma Xiu in Aroma City, and the Bug Badge from Violet in Baitan City. Now that they have the last 5 badges left, they can participate.

Tested.

But today is also the day they left the Kalos area. They originally came here because they were interested in the legacy of Team Rocket and Detective Pikachu, but they didn't expect to experience so much in the blink of an eye.

The economy of Miare City has not yet fully recovered, but it is much better than it was half a month ago. There is no dilapidated scene after the disaster. Those large roots have now been cut down and used as firewood.

There has been no news about the two Zygarde since then. The Tree of Life seems to have returned to the Diamond Mining Country, and the Cocoon of Destruction has gone to who knows where.

While packing his luggage in the office, Pikachu, wearing a detective suit, stood on the desk, waved his hand and said, "It's finally time to go. Please let me, Shushu, rest for a while."

Hearing this, Lillie smiled and said: "I remember coming to Alola during the Chinese New Year. I went to the Ether Paradise, it was very lively!"

"I know, I know."

"When you have nothing to do, you can also come to Kabukicho to play. Although the atmosphere underground is a bit strange, the atmosphere above ground is still very good, such as the Daidai Izakaya downstairs from our house."

Hoshino also smiled and gave it some suggestions. Anyway, the other party also knew the teleportation channel from Miare City to Kabukicho, and then they had to say goodbye to the other party and leave. They had to catch a plane to Quartz Plateau.

After chatting for a while, the two left. Pikachu stood by the window and looked at their figures walking on the street, with his hands behind his back and shook his head.

Then it seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned around, only to see Chaomeng, who had disappeared for more than half a month, arrive here at some point, and walked up to it, also watching the two people leaving below.

"These days have been like a dream..."

"Yeah, the Pokémon Village should be fine, right?"

"Um."

"Then what are your next plans?"

"I plan to stay here."

"Um?"

"My experiences these days have made me more interested in the detective profession, which can help other people. If you don't mind, let me be your assistant and help the city revitalize together."

"That's it..."

Pikachu touched his chin, thought deeply for a long time, then suddenly snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "No problem, you can stay here, but this city... may have another urban legend!"

…

The plane took off from the temporary airport in Miare City and flew to the Kanto region.

Lillie was sitting on the edge of Hoshino, scrolling through her cell phone and chatting with her friends in a group chat with Rotom. This time, she invited some people into the group of All Things House, and the circle was a little wider.

At this time, she looked at Hoshino, who was petting a cat, and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you have any new plans for next year? For example, where to travel?"

"Um……"

Hoshino came back to his senses and thought about it seriously, but still shook his head and said: "Not yet, let's deal with the affairs of the Master House first, maybe go to the Fengyuan area?"

"Yes, Mikri's wedding... didn't you say you didn't want to go?"

"If you want to go, then I will definitely accompany you."

"There is no need to force yourself to ask for something."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to be with you."

"You..."

Lillie shook her head helplessly, but with a faint smile on her face, she continued to scroll through her phone and asked: "Who do you think will win this year's World Championship?"

"I don't know, I didn't watch the last one."

"But I have seen it, and it was the day I picked you up and brought you home. But I watched the live broadcast with my classmates at school. The fight between Chihong and Dandi was so intense that I couldn't believe that it was also

The strength of Pokémon trainers..."

Lillie still remembered her shock when watching the game that day. She didn't even have Pokémon at the time. Watching this kind of game where the commentary couldn't even describe the level was like watching a science fiction movie.

But after so many years, she seemed to have finally reached this threshold!

Hoshino saw her little thoughts and reached out to stroke her loose hair and said: "Don't worry, you will also compete with these strong men on this world-class stage one day!"

"But I'd rather have a fight with you on stage."

"Really? Then you have to work hard!"

"Hmm~"

Early the next morning, the plane slowly landed at the Quartz Plateau Airport. This is the alliance headquarters of Kanto and Johto, and it is also the origin of the Pokémon Alliance. It is very lively.

When they left the airport, they saw Meiyue and Xiaoyang waiting for them from afar.

The two of them have moved from the Kanto region to the Johto region and have almost collected the badges of the two regions. They have been working hard to establish the Alola Alliance.

After not seeing her old friend for a long time, Lillie stepped forward and hugged Meiyue with a happy face, and then said: "It's such a cold day, you came here so early to wait for us, wouldn't you like to sleep a little longer?"

Meiyue stretched out her hand to straighten the other person's crooked hat. Seeing Lillie who was already taller than herself, she smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, haven't I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyang complained: "But I'm freezing to death...she had to drag me out of bed and come over to wait for you."

"You are the only one who talks a lot!"

Meiyue patted him hard. The two had been living together for so many years and had already planned to get married after the Alola Alliance was established.

Seeing them playing around, Hoshino smiled and stepped forward to say hello: "Long time no see."

Hearing this, Meiyue's eyes also fell over, and then she said with a slightly playful smile: "Hey, the great hero who saves the world~"

"...Stop teasing me."

"Ha ha."

Regarding what Hoshino did, these friends knew more about it from Qishu. They were all in the same group and had been familiar with each other for a long time. They also admired Hoshino for doing such a thing.

"I heard that Alola's tourism experience has soared during this period, thanks to you."

"Isn't this what you should do? Make some contributions to the development of your hometown."

"But I still have to say thank you, but this is not the place to chat. It's too cold. Let's find a place to have breakfast first."

"You still know how cold it is!"

"Ha ha."

…

I found a breakfast shop, and after a few people solved the breakfast problem, their bodies became much warmer.

But at this moment, perhaps knowing that he had arrived at Quartz Plateau, Hoshino suddenly received an email in his mailbox, and he clicked on it and read it.

"Um?!"

"What's wrong?"

"The World Championship officials invited me to the guest seats to watch the game... Usually the people sitting there are league champions and the like."

Hoshino explained that this situation is still very common, and some guys with their own traffic are often invited to compete as guests, but this is not bad, because you can get to know those champions.

After talking about this, they started some discussions about the Alola Alliance. Now there are only two most critical things.

One is to gain support from other regional alliances, and the other is that there are too few excellent trainers in Alola. The alliance is an important pillar of a regional trainer. If the strength is not good, it will not last long.

When talking about this key issue, Meiyue said in a serious tone: "However, in the Alola region, there are many trainers who have gone to other regions to develop. We are also trying to contact them back, but the effect is not very good, not much

People want to come back.”

As she spoke, she sighed. Alola was still too backward compared to other regions, so few people wanted to return to a small area like their hometown to develop.

However, Hoshino didn't pay too much attention to this problem and said: "It doesn't matter, I will just act as a front man. Anyway, I have enough reputation in terms of reputation. The important thing is to prove my strength!"

Although he saved the world, he only did it with the help of legendary Pokémon. The easiest way to prove his strength is to express himself on the stage of the World Championship!

"That's right. As long as there are pillars that can support the Alola Alliance, then many trainers will naturally be attracted here."

Meiyue nodded and expressed her support for his proposal. The landowners of Alola are valuable, but it still takes time.

So after chatting for a while, she changed the subject and said: "Let's talk about the World Championships. The opening ceremony will be tomorrow, but Mao and the others will come over later, so everyone can get together again."

"With so many people, can we get tickets?"

Hoshino was a little curious. He heard that the price of tickets for the World Championships has now increased dozens of times, and they are still highly priced but not available, which is extremely outrageous.

But before Meiyue could answer, Lillie took a sip of hot milk tea, turned her head to look at him, and said, "Didn't you see? There are a lot of ticket sellers in the group, and you and I bought our tickets from them.

of."

"What the hell?"

Hoshino has a lot of work at hand and is generally not in the group. Lillie explained: "Many people in the group work in the alliance, or have positions and connections. The World Championship is organized by the alliance association, so it is easy for them to get it."

Voted."

"???"

"However, although they have also increased the price, it is not as outrageous as the market price. It is considered an internal price."

"Where did so many scalpers come from? They were all kicked!"

"Calm down, calm down."

Lillie smiled and handed over her milk tea, and then said: "This is also quite good. It will increase more communication, and everyone can come to watch the game, which is quite good."

"..."

Hoshino took a sip of milk tea and sighed softly and said: "Forget it, forget it, but as I said, I can get together with everyone. After all, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Well, let's find a place to stay first. The competition will last for five days, but it may be a little difficult to find..."

Lillie took out her cell phone Rotom and started to look through it, but Mitsuki was already prepared and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already booked it with you, but you have to pay for it yourself. I am also poor."

"no problem!"

After a while, after finding a place to live, the good sisters Lillie and Mitsuki went out shopping, while Xiao Yang went back to sleep.

Hoshino left the hotel alone, carried Xinye Miao to the street outside, and looked in the direction of the Quartz Arena. That was the next competition venue and the biggest stage for trainers!

"So close..."

He sighed inexplicably, so many years had passed since he came to this world, and now he was only so close to this stage.

One day, he will set foot on the unknown peak with his Pokémon. This is a trainer's promise to Pokémon!

"Meow?"

"Let's go and take a look."

Hoshino smiled, and walked over there with Hoshino in his arms. Milton, Gengar... Pokémon appeared around him one by one, but under Zoroark's hallucination, no one noticed them.

Since tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Masters, the arena is still making final preparations today, so others are not allowed to enter, but this cannot stop them.

It was very easy to enter the arena. It was very empty and deserted inside. Not a single ghost could be seen in the auditorium that could accommodate 100,000 people. However, it would be completely lively tomorrow.

He grabbed the guardrail of the auditorium and looked at the competition field below. There was nothing there now, but one day, he would stand on this stage with his Pokémon!

Although he didn't say it out loud, the Pokémon around him understood what he meant, and raised their hands one after another and shouted out that they would definitely do it!

"Um!"

Hoshino turned around and looked at them, Milerton, Gengar, New Leaf Cat, Sai Fuhao, Popper's Dolphin, Iron Baggage, Marshado, Zoroark...these companions who have always been by his side,

family!

"Then let's work hard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure suddenly appeared in Hoshino's field of vision. The figure was wearing a light blue short skirt, and his legs were exposed to the cold air.

She is tall and tall, wearing a pink scarf around her neck. Her long black hair is spread out without much decoration. She has a delicate appearance and a smile on her face that looks like she is reunited with an old friend after a long absence.

This slightly mature woman walked out of the stairs, waved to Hoshino, and said with a smile: "As expected, you are here, long time no see~"

Looking at the other person's appearance, Hoshino was slightly startled: "Xiaoguang? No, you are..."

"It's me, aren't you surprised~"

"!!!"

Hoshino had disbelief written all over his face. There was no doubt that although he had matured a lot, the person in front of him was definitely a friend he met in the Xicui area!

But more than a hundred years have passed. Let’s not talk about how you live to this day. What’s the matter with this age that doesn’t look old at all?

Not only him, but also the New Leaf Meows around him recognized it, especially Zoroark, who was even more shocked that a human could live like him until now?

Looking at their expressions, Xiaozhao smiled. After all, no one would have thought that she was still alive, but she still explained it to her friends.

"This is the ability given to me by my clone after I defeated the Great Master of Sinnoh and passed the test. Although I can live forever, it cannot interfere with any major events in this world."

"To put it simply, even if Zygarde restarts the ecology, I can't stop it, but similarly, it won't affect me..."

Hearing this, Hoshino finally understood and said, "It means that the Great Master of Sinnoh has nothing to do, and then let you look after the world in his place? Right?"

"It's almost like Sister Wu Si. Although my friends around me have left one by one... But living until now has also allowed me to see the world that we have protected... this new world created by us.

The development of the times!"

Xiaozhao explained a little sadly, but she could refuse to live and enter reincarnation at any time. This was also the right given to her by the Great Master of Sinnoh.

After understanding everything, Hoshino was not too surprised. After all, he was the Great Lord of Sinnoh. This guy really wanted to find something to do no matter what.

After cursing in his mind, Hoshino leaned against the guardrail. Just as he was about to continue talking to his old friend Xiao Teru, the guardrail behind him suddenly broke. He was caught off guard and fell over...

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhao immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's... not bad."

"..."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhao shook her head and roughly guessed what the other person was thinking just now. Since the other person was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She has been living until now, not only to see the development of this new era, but also... to have a Pokémon battle with Hoshino!
