Chapter 17
On the way to Kanaz City, Xiaozhi and his group accidentally entered a Pokémon sanctuary and met the conservation officer Klee. They beat off Team Rocket who came to cause trouble. Xiaosheng formed a deep friendship with a coyote dog and saw the coyote dog evolve into a big wolf dog.
After saying goodbye to Klee, Xiaozhi and his group came to a clear lake and prepared to go swimming.
"Haha! This place is awesome!"
"The air is fresh, quiet and comfortable"
"Yes!"Everyone was playing in the lake.
"Pikachu?""Hmm?" Xiaozhi and Pikachu suddenly looked towards the center of the lake.
"What's wrong? Xiaozhi, Pikachu."When Xiaozhi looked towards the center of the lake, Xiaogang and the other two looked over there. They saw many things like lotus leaves floating on the lake, gathering towards them.
"this...What is this? The number is so scary!"Xiaoyao ran to the shore first.
"This should be a Lotus Leaf Boy! Lotus Leaf Boy is a water and grass type Pokémon. They usually live in ponds or lakes. But there are really a lot of them."Xiaozhi explained
"So this is the Lotus Leaf Boy's lake!" Xiaosheng said excitedly.
"Let's get ashore first! The lotus leaf boys are getting closer and closer, I'm afraid we're going to be pushed out!"
"Hmm!"x2
Not long after the three of them came ashore, the lotus leaf boys followed them ashore.
"Ah! They have climbed up here, what are they doing?"╭(°A°`)╮Xiaoyao hid behind Xiaozhi in fear.
"Xiaoyao, you don't have to be afraid." Xiaozhi Bo's power felt their kindness and comforted Xiaoyao,"Look, they are all smiling!"
"Really! Are they here to play with us?"(✧∇✧)Xiaoyao hasn't answered yet, but Xiaosheng is excited
"I think so too?" Xiaogang nodded in agreement.
""Pika" Pikachu shouted, pointing at the lotus leaf boys.
The lotus leaf boys lined up in a row, spraying streams of water towards the sky. The water columns collided together to form fountains, and the splashing water sparkled in the sunlight.
"Wow!"(✧∇✧)Xiaoyao was no longer afraid and came out from behind Xiaozhi and looked at the sky
"I didn't expect the Lotus Leaf Boys to be able to use water guns, and their performance was so beautiful, they can get high scores in the gorgeous competition!"Xiaozhi exclaimed
""What is the gorgeous contest?" Xiaoyao asked in confusion.
"The gorgeous competition is scored based on the gorgeous moves, and there are usually two reviews. After getting the approval of the judges, you can enter the gorgeous battle. The gorgeous battle uses an elimination system. The final winner can get a ribbon badge. Collect five ribbon badges to participate in the gorgeous large-scale celebration."Xiaozhi knew that she was a newbie, and explained considerately
"Ah! So that's it!"Xiaoyao nodded thoughtfully.
"Look at this lotus leaf boy, it seems a little different!"Xiao Gang found a special lotus leaf boy among the lotus leaf boys. The water columns of other lotus leaf boys have reached the air, but this one is only a few dozen centimeters.
Xiao Yao said frankly,"Yes, that kid is far behind. He looks stupid."
Everyone also looked at this lotus leaf boy and nodded.
It was still spraying until the other lotus leaf boys finished spraying.
"Alas, it's over, Lotus Leaf Boy!"Xiao Gang walked forward to the Lotus Leaf Boy.
Hearing this, the Lotus Leaf Boy suddenly increased his strength and gave Xiao Gang a free face wash. The Lotus Leaf Boy then slowly chased after his companions.
"Hahahaha"(｡＞∀＜｡)Everyone burst into laughter.
Just then, a girl with red twin ponytails and freckles on her face came over, pointed at Xiaozhi and his group with her hands on her hips and shouted:
"Hey, this is the Lotus Leaf Boy's Lake, how can you go down to swim? You all have to come to my house."
"She was so arrogant, like Xiao Sheng."Xiao Yao didn't give her face.
"You are annoying."Xiaosheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Xiaoyao.
"Excuse me, what do you want us to do at your house?" Xiao Gang asked cautiously.
"Needless to say, she will be scolded.
"Huh? No way!"x3
Then, Xiaozhi and the other three had no choice but to follow the girl to her home, and then it was not them who were scolded but the girl.
"Naoko, you can't do this. You should be more friendly to travelers who are traveling abroad." A girl with short blue hair lectured Naoko
"But Sister Noriko...them..."Naoko lowered her head and tried to argue.
The crowd, who were originally prepared to be scolded, ended up watching Naoko being scolded.
"I'm sorry, I said something rude to you guys." Noriko apologized to Xiaozhi and the others.
"It doesn't matter""Pikachu"
"Hello! My name is Noriko, her name is Naoko, we run a flower shop together."Noriko introduced herself.
Everyone introduced themselves, but Xiaogang was a little bit unserious.
"Niche...My name is Xiaogang. By the way, this beautiful flower shop is as beautiful as Miss Noriko herself.
"Yeah"(•́ω•̀ ٥)
"A flower shop this beautiful could only be created by the beautiful Miss Noriko."
"Thank you. By the way, the pie I made is almost ready. Do you want to eat it together?"
I have to say that Xiaogang is really good at saying sweet words. If only his eyes were bigger and his skin was whiter, he would definitely have the potential to become the King of the Sea.
"Really? Thank you so much."
At this time, a girl with short green hair came in from outside,"Sister, the drainage pipe in the orchard is broken, and the watering can alone is not enough, eh? There are guests"
"Ah! Another beautiful lady is..."Xiao Gang's eyes lit up and he turned his head
"She is my second sister, her name is Lingzi, and the three of us are sisters.���Noriko introduced
"Hello!"
"I also want to use this watering can to grow beautiful flowers like you, Ms. Suzuko..."
"Xiaosheng will give you a sacred mission in the future!"Xiaozhi pulled Xiaosheng to the corner and looked at Xiaosheng with a serious expression.
"What mission?! Xiaosheng looked at Xiaozhi's serious expression and was a little nervous.
"From now on, whenever Xiaogang becomes infatuated, drag him back"
"Huh?! Okay"Õ_Õ......
"Ah! You, your attitude is really different when you meet me and when you meet my sisters. Do you know that this is very rude?"Naoko pointed at Xiaogang angrily.
"Ah? This...that..."╭(°A°`)╮Xiao Gang said awkwardly
"Haha, Naoko fell in love at first sight again"
"Love at first sight!""Again?""
But I'm not a lolita complex, I only like mature older sisters!(╥﹏╥)
Afterwards, Xiaozhi and the others sat down to eat pie and chat with the three sisters.
"It's delicious. I've never tasted anything like this before." Xiaoyao ate excitedly.
"That's a pie made with blue tangerines, and it has a very rich flavor." Noriko explained
"The water and air in our area are very clean, and you can pick all kinds of fruits. There are many more planted in the back. Do you want to take a look?" Lingzi invited Xiaozhi and the others.
"Really? Of course."
Then, everyone came to the garden, where there were various fruit trees, beautiful environment and fresh air.
The three sisters Noriko introduced the uses and effects of various tree fruits to Xiaozhi.
"Sister, it will take a long time to repair the drain pipe. The connector is too old. We need to replace the whole pipe, and it will take a long time."Suzuko suddenly walked forward and said to her sister Noriko
"That's it. That's a headache." Noriko was also very troubled.
At this time, the lotus leaf boys walked by with water on their heads and poured the water into the flower beds and the places where the fruit trees were planted.
"Ah! Thank you for your help!"Noriko thanked
"Why did they come to help?"Xiaoyao asked curiously
"I think it's because we often give them fruit, so they come to thank us."Nianzi thought for a while and said
"Good! In that case, let's help as well. As a reward for your dinner!" Xiaozhi suggested
"Pika Pika""That's right!"
Then, everyone released the Pokémon to help. The process went smoothly, except for a small accident. The special lotus leaf boy started to go off the line, causing a traffic jam.
Xiaogang walked to the lotus leaf boy and said,"What's wrong with you? The ones behind are waiting for you."
Xiaogang began to teach the lotus leaf boy by example,"Don't be too anxious, try slowly, and lower your head."
"Habu"
The lotus leaf boy lowered his head and the water on the leaves fell down.
"That's right! That's it."Xiao Gang nodded.
"It worked. That's great!"
""Habu" The lotus leaf boy bowed and thanked him.
At dusk, Xiaozhi and others���The leaf boys were sent back to the lake
"Thank you so much for your help today, lotus leaf boys, you can go back to the lake now. Lingzi thanked the lotus leaf boys.
The lotus leaf boys nodded and returned to the lake, leaving only the special lotus leaf boy on the shore.
"Alas, everyone has left, why don't you leave?" Xiao Gang squatted down and looked at the lotus leaf boy.
"Habu" The lotus leaf boy looked at Xiaogang
"Xiaogang, I think the Lotus Leaf Boy likes you and wants to follow you!"Xiaozhi said
"Really? Lotus Leaf Boy!"Xiao Gang was surprised.
"Habu" The lotus leaf boy nodded.
""Okay, thank you for your guidance!" Xiaogang took out the Poké Ball and put it in.
At this moment, boom! A strange ship came from the other side of the lake, and on the ship was Team Rocket!
""Wahahaha! We'll accept the Lotus Leaf Boys."
Team Rocket drove the ship towards the Lotus Leaf Boys and locked them up.
"Team Rocket, don't try to succeed. Go, Ogre! Pikachu, ride Ogre! Use Iron Tail when you get close."""Pika""Siba"
Pikachu jumped onto the back of the swift, and the swift carried Pikachu and chased after Team Rocket, activating Iron Tail. It broke the cage directly and released the lotus leaf boys.
"Very good, Pikachu's one-hit kill of 100,000 volts!"Pikachu"
Boom!"What a disgusting feeling!""Sonans (˃ʍ˂）～"
The next day, Xiaozhi and his group continued to head towards Kanaz City.......
