Xia Mu knew that too.

Snivy refused to evolve in order to greet its chosen trainer in its initial form.

Deep down, Snivy also longs for the moment when it transforms into Serperior.

After learning all this, Natsuki deliberately chose Snivy as the last baton.

result.

Xia Mu never expected this.

To make matters worse, we encountered such a... special Pokémon at the very end.

"This battle was really... only half the fun!"

"Miyo!"

The rattan snake nodded.

A perfectly good victory, but...

honestly.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the trainer's first gym battle, Snivy would have preferred to switch trainers immediately.

Fortunately.

They ultimately won.

"Congratulations, you've earned your first badge!"

With her hands behind her back, Ziyu turned her head to Xia Mu and smiled, "Shall we treat everyone to a celebration?"

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow.

"It's my treat, you pay!"

(⊙o⊙)...

Purple Taro blinked.

This was the first time she had ever heard such shameless words.

So, looking at Xia Mu, Zi Yu spoke from the bottom of her heart about her deepest feelings during this period.

"I learn something new every day when I'm with you!"

"???"

Xia Mu was quite surprised.

He naturally didn't think that Ziyu was praising him.

but.

If I heard correctly.

Is this guy trying to sabotage me?

Xia Mu simply couldn't believe that the girl, who was as gentle and warm-hearted as a white lotus flower, could undergo such a drastic change in just one day.

"Purple Taro, you...you've gone astray!"

Xia Mu was heartbroken.

"Shouldn't you have readily agreed at a time like this? Aren't you happy for me after such a hard-won victory?"

At this point, Xia Mu seemed to feel that he lacked persuasiveness on his own, so he took out Shin-chan's Poké Ball.

"Look at the cat, then look at Sister Snake..."

"How could you say such a thing?"

Purple taro: "..."

Looking at Xin Ye Miao, who was still sleepy and nestled in Xia Mu's arms, seemingly unaware of what had happened, Zi Yu was speechless.

"You're the one who should feel guilty seeing Shin-chan woken up by you."

No way.

She sleeps during the day, but at night she's the one who tortures me!

Even though that's what I thought.

But Xia Mu still has some tricks up her sleeve.

If Xin Ye Miao hears these words, I'll have to spend a lot of time comforting her.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Shin-chan wouldn't have gotten so angry that it jumped out of its Poké Ball!"

"Meow!"

Although I don't know what happened.

But the cat nodded in agreement.

This moment.

The taro, betrayed, finally realized what had happened.

There's no way I could surpass Xia Mu in being unreasonable.

then.

Ziyu cleverly changed the subject.

Everything was moved back to where it all started.

"You said you were treating, but I ended up paying. You got all the good stuff. That's not right. You should also..."

"Haven't I taught you a lot of things?"

"..."

His sarcastic remark still seemed to echo in Xia Mu's mind.

Thinking about this...

Seeing Xia Mu standing confidently with his hands on his hips, Zi Yu pursed her lips slightly, almost unable to hold back her laughter.

In this regard.

Xia Mu took this as an admission of guilt after realizing he was in the wrong.

......

Walking down the bustling street, Xia Mu sighed softly.

"We already agreed on this..."

Xia Mu never imagined that he had fooled Zi Yu for so long.

At last.

Surprisingly, he ended up treating everyone and paying for it himself.

It's not that Xia Mu is embarrassed to rip off wealthy customers.

If there is a chance.

Xia Mu wished that Zi Yu would become his number one fan and take care of his round-the-world trip.

However, the actual situation is somewhat complicated.

finally.

This forced Xia Mu to decide to hold a barbecue feast at the Pokémon Center.

after all.

"Xia Mu, you don't want Joey to find out about the private tutoring, do you...?"

When Natsuki saw Officer Jenny riding a motorcycle and talking to him like that, he knew.

This bastard has me cornered.

Rather than letting this guy finish eating and then go to Joey to complain, Xia Mu decided to take the initiative.

"You've come at the perfect time! I was planning to have a barbecue at the Pokémon Center tonight. You take the stuff back, and Snivy will handle it!"

Although I was somewhat reluctant to part with Xia Mu.

But Snivy obediently jumped directly onto Officer Jenny's motorcycle.

This left Hayok, whose reserved seat had been taken, speechless, and also made Officer Jenny swallow back the lines she had prepared.

Until the moment I arrived at the Pokémon Center carrying my big bags and small packages.

Officer Jenny didn't understand either.

Why did I suddenly become a porter?

......

"cheers!"

Everyone sat around the table in the backyard, raised their glasses, and cheered.

At this moment.

Although she went from being a threat to being offered up as a free agent.

But for the sake of the beer and the delicious barbecue, Officer Jenny decided to let Natsuki off this time.
