Chapter 195 Why does this kid look like he's successfully met his idol...?

"Then keep up the good work, I look forward to your challenge."

Qingyu forced a smile and looked at Nemo.

He suddenly felt that it might have been better if he had kept something in reserve earlier...

However, although the impromptu tactic surrounding the substitute was somewhat risky, if Nemo had been stubborn, Sylveon might have gotten beaten up.

But he actually had a backup plan.

"Buyi..."

After being nestled in Qingyu's arms and having its head patted for a while, Sylveon's "Emperor Engine" finally shut down, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

At the same time, a gentle white light began to appear on its body under the sunlight, as if it was slowly recovering the strength that Sylveon had lost in the battle.

The moonlight quietly began.

When Qingyu first saw this move, he was a little unsure, but Moonlight was indeed one of the moves that Sylveon learned after evolving.

Normally, only Umbreon should be able to learn Moonlight, which corresponds to Espeon's Dawn, both of which are ways to quickly restore health.

But he really didn't know how Xianbu had learned it so naturally overnight...

In short, even if Sylveon didn't understand his thoughts just now, or Nemo didn't think one step ahead and actually hit Sylveon's true form, he was confident that he could recover his strength with the help of moonlight and continue fighting.

After a simple trial, Qingyu gained a general understanding of Sylveon's current combat strength.

At the same time, we also roughly figured out Nemo's skill level.

"Yes, Teacher Qingyu, I will continue to challenge you after we return to Padiya!"

Nemo nodded repeatedly, clutching the now-dimmed crystal bead in her hand.

If all her Pokémon hadn't lost their ability to battle, she might be facing another rematch right now.

After the match ended, the other spectators quickly came over.

After Ziyu walked to Nemo's side, she showed a surprised expression:

"Nemo, when did you become so amazing!"

In her memory, Nemo had always been a straightforward and impulsive trainer who dared to challenge her father even when she only had two Pokémon in the Unova region.

Although she lost as expected, her optimistic and passionate personality left a deep impression on both her father and herself.

Unexpectedly, Nemo's trainer skills improved so quickly after going to Padia. Not only have her Pokémon evolved, but she has also made significant progress in command and tactics.

It must be because of his apprenticeship at Sunshine Dojo, right?
"Hmph, you're still a long way off. My goal is this year's Padilla champion!"

Nemo is not very old, but under the envious gaze of her childhood friend, she unconsciously holds her head high and looks very proud.

"If I can maintain this pace of progress, winning the championship should be a piece of cake."

Even Zhu Lan acknowledged her abilities.

After all, when Nemo first went to the Sunny Gym a month ago, this Baloo Gymmate was still a weak Baloo Gymmate.

As a newcomer, to evolve a starter Pokémon into its final form in just one month, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become a champion with that potential.

As for Cattleya, who was beside Zhulan, her gaze wasn't on Nemo, but rather she was silently staring at Qingyu in a daze—

Eevee, the fairy in my arms.

so cute!
How can there be such an adorable Pokémon?

Gadria felt her heart melting at the sight of Sylveon, who was nestled in Qingyu's arms, squinting and enjoying itself.

only……

Why did it have to be that guy's Eevee?!

Caldea unconsciously raised her hand, wanting to touch the adorable Sylveon, but then instantly realized what she was doing and shook her head, pulling it back.

Her subtle actions, of course, did not escape Qingyu's notice.

As expected, Cattleya is completely powerless against these cute pink Pokémon.

However, if she doesn't say anything, I can't possibly ask her if she wants to touch me!

Qingyu thought to herself.

Just then, Zi Yu also turned his gaze to Sylveon in his hand, his eyes instantly softening as if they could be drawn into silk.

"Teacher Yu's Sylveon is so cute! Can I touch it?"

"of course can."

Qingyu nodded and added a sentence.

"However, this baby might be a little heavy, so be careful when you hold it."

"Buyi!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sylveon immediately let out a disgruntled cry, and at the same time, its ribbons lightly patted Qingyu's arm.

"It's very impolite to comment on a lady's weight!"

Seeing this, Zhu Lan smiled and patted Sylveon's head before speaking up to "accuse" Qing Yu on her behalf.

Sylveon seemed to be throwing a little tantrum. It rolled over in Qingyu's arms, took a powerful step back, and leaped towards Ziyu, where she caught it steadily.

"..."

Qingyu scratched his head, not expecting that Eevee's personality seemed to have changed slightly after evolving.

She seems to have become more... affectionate?
But after all, it's a Fairy-type Sylveon, so this makes perfect sense!
Silently watching the incredibly well-behaved Sylveon in Ziyu's arms, Gadaria's gaze was clearly filled with a hint of envy.

Damn it, I really want to touch it...

After losing the adorable little one that weighed at least fifty pounds in her arms, Qingyu stretched her body and felt much lighter.

It was at this moment that he noticed two somewhat familiar figures in the open space, besides himself and his group.

The two people, a man and a woman, were both dressed in clothing very characteristic of Beishang Township, and their eyes were fixed on her.

These were spectators who seemed to have been drawn by his earlier fight with Nemo. And Qingyu actually knew these two…

Danyu and Wuli!
(Danyu (left), Wuli (right))

As two main characters in the Azure Mask DLC, how could Aoba not recognize them?
However, it was precisely because of this acquaintance that his gaze was somewhat complicated.

The siblings' personalities in the story are hardly endearing...

After noticing that Qingyu had noticed them, Danyu, the older sister, quickly came over first.

Her younger brother, Wu Li, seemed to be a bit socially awkward. After looking around a few times, he obediently followed behind his sister, trying his best to hide behind her and avoid being seen by Qing Yu and the others.

"Hello, that battle was really exciting. You must all be very skilled trainers."

Once they got closer, Danyu quickly took the initiative to speak.

"My name is Danyu, and I'm a trainer from Kitakami Township. I originally came to challenge you after seeing some battles, but..."

"Your Pokémon seem to be quite tired, so let's put this plan on hold for now. Let me take you to the Pokémon Center in Greentown for some treatment!"

?

Qingyu was stunned.

Judging from the game's storyline, Danyu seems to be a very xenophobic person; you have to defeat her in battle to enter Emerald Town.

However, he quickly realized that Danyu was a stubborn person at heart, but also respected the strong.

Moreover, judging from the current timeline, neither of them should have enrolled in Blueberry Academy yet; they are probably just novice trainers.

It must have been their earlier battle with Nemo that piqued their interest, which is why they came over to say hello.
"Thank you very much, Miss Danyu."

Qingyu smiled slightly and accepted her kindness.

"So handsome!"

Just then, the child hiding behind Danyu peeked out and stared intently at Qingyu with a look that seemed to be filled with longing.

But when Qingyu looked at him, the child immediately shrank back, as if he was very afraid of making eye contact with her.

?

Qingyu scratched his head.

What's going on here...?

How come I feel like I haven't done anything yet, and Wu Li has suddenly become my little fanboy?

Shouldn't this be the treatment reserved for the protagonist, the Padia succubus?

Seeing Qingyu's confused expression, Danyu quickly spoke up to explain for her younger brother, while introducing him:
"What this kid means is that your performance in the match just now was really cool."

"His name is Uri, and he is my younger brother. He has always hoped to become a powerful trainer since he was a child, which is why he was so excited after watching your battle just now."

As she spoke, Danyu reached out and pulled Wuli out from behind her.

"If you want to become a great trainer, show some spirit and be more confident!"

"Yes Yes!"

After being forcibly pulled to her sister's side, Wu Li looked up at Qing Yu, gave a smile that was more like a grimace, and then took a deep breath—

"Hello, I'm Wu Li! I hope we can become friends!"

"Great, that's very impressive!"

The siblings' performance, which resembled a stand-up comedy routine, brought smiles to everyone's faces.

Qingyu did the same, and after a slight smile, she took the initiative to extend her hand to Wuli:
"Hello, Wu Li."

"I am Qingyu from the Padia region, and I am currently an ordinary gym leader."

"So this gentleman is actually a dojo owner? That's amazing!"

Danyu became inexplicably excited.

As for Wu Li in front of her, after staring blankly at Qing Yu for a few seconds, her face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head away while reaching out her hand.

"Well…"

"I'm so happy that we actually became friends..."

wait?

Are you blushing like a bubble teapot?
This kid looks like he's finally met his idol...

Qingyu frowned slightly, realizing that things were not so simple.

Afterwards, with Qingyu's introduction, they got to know the two siblings who were locals from Beishang Township.

Just as Danyu was about to lead them to the Pokémon Center in Greentown, Qingyu suddenly felt a burning gaze and immediately turned around.

Although I couldn't see the face clearly, I noticed a pair of somewhat familiar small feet among the bushes.

(jailer!)

This is……

Qingyu's gaze froze for a moment before she quickly came to her senses.

There's no mistake, that's...

The treacherous jailer!

"Boni?!"

Seemingly sensing Qingyu's gaze, the figure who had been secretly observing them from afar suddenly cried out in surprise.

Then, he immediately ran off and disappeared.

I made a few minor changes to the character designs, otherwise the initial encounters with these two would have been far too unpleasant...

However, if you look closely at the plot, Wu Li's super fanboy attitude before he turned evil was actually quite cute!
The plot will likely involve further revisions to Wu Li's personality later on, so please rest assured, dear readers, I won't write any disgusting characters~ (∠ω<)⌒☆
