Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

By the time Natsuki and Haruka left the tourmaline cave, it had already gotten dark.

then.

Xia Mu and Xiao Yao were not in a hurry to travel.

Instead, after finding a location with a water source, they began preparing for camping.

While Xia Mu was setting up the tent, Qing Teng She had already skillfully taken out his favorite equipment from his spatial backpack.

A set of kitchen utensils highly recommended by Haidai, a trainer from a renowned chef's dojo.

then.

To Xiaoyao's astonishment, the Green Vine Snake skillfully wielded its two vine whips.

Da da da!

Sharp knife skills.

Boom boom boom!

Precise cooking time and temperature.

Sniff sniff sniff!

As the fragrance spread, Xiaoyao's nostrils twitched.

"It smells so good!"

Looking at the busy green vine snake, Xiaoyao suddenly remembered the year she had just gone on a trip.

Although at the beginning, I didn't have any travel goals; I just wanted to explore the Hoenn region.

but.

Because of the presence of Xiao Gang, the male mother.

Xiaoyao is actually very happy.

Even when traveling, I can enjoy the food that Xiaogang has carefully prepared every day.

You can do this after traveling alone.

Most of the time, we eat either bread or various canned foods.

Occasionally, I also use pre-packaged meals to cook some simple dishes.

Xiaoyao never thought of that.

You can even have Pokémon act as chefs.

She approached the Green Vine Snake, looking at the colorful, fragrant, and delicious food. Then she glanced at Xia Mu, who was sitting on a stool with Xin Ye Miao, waiting for the food to be served.

"So envious~"

Think about your own Pokémon.

Venusaur is too large; even though it can use its vine whip like Snivy, it simply can't squeeze into the kitchen.

Little Snorlax only knows how to eat.

The others either had unsuitable physical structures or simply lacked the patience.

"hateful!"

Xiaoyao channeled her grief into her appetite.

"We're going to have a big feast today!"

With that, May tossed her hands, summoning all the Pokémon out of their Poké Balls.

Blaziken, Venusaur, Glaceon, Snorlax, Beautifly, Skitty...

One by one, familiar faces appeared before Xia Mu's eyes.

Upon seeing Glaceon and Skitty, Newleaf immediately jumped off the table.

"Meow~"

I don't know when Shin-Ye-Miao developed this bad habit.

I only like playing with pretty Pokémon.

Since meeting May, she has only ever played with Glaceon, Beautifly, and Skitty.

On the contrary, Claydol has a good relationship with Venusaur and Blaziken.

As for Snorlax...

I don't know if it's because it's on the verge of evolution, or if it's just inherently lazy.

Most of the time, I just find a place to lie down and sleep.

Watching the sprites playing around, Xia Mu shook his head.

He took out his phone.

I've booked a challenge match at the Fukiyori Dojo tomorrow morning.

......

At this time.

At the Fukiyori Dokan.

"What did you say? All the trainers who participated in the competition have disappeared?!"

Feng Lu, who had just disembarked from the cargo plane, looked at the dojo staff in front of her with a shocked expression.

Red hair fell down on both sides of her face, and her blue eyes were filled with shock.

I even went to check out the route of this flying competition, and there was absolutely no danger.

How could a trainer possibly disappear?

but.

Fenglu felt that the reason for her disappearance was no longer important.

The main goal is to find those missing trainers.

then.

Feng Lu, who had just stepped off the plane, immediately went back in her boots.

"I'll go check out the situation first!"

"Yes!"

Da da da!

As the propeller-driven aircraft turned, it took off.

The dojo staff couldn't help but show expressions of admiration as they watched Feng Lu come and go in a hurry.

"As expected of the Wind and Dew Pavilion Master, she's still as decisive and efficient as ever!"

then.

Above the tourmaline cave.

"Wait, who changed the directional sign I placed?!"

"Ah!"

Xia Mu, who was sleeping in the tent, rubbed his nose, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Chapter 51 Wind and Dew: Huh?

Perhaps it's because the Fukiyori Dojo and the Fukiyori Freight Center are located together.

and so.

The dojo is not located in Fukiyoshi City, but on the outskirts of the city.

therefore.

The next morning.

When Natsuki and Haruka approached Fuyuki City, the first thing they saw was the long airport runway and the Fuyuki Gym next to it.

Considering that we still need to go to the Pokémon Center after the gym challenge,

and so.

The two decided to head into the city after finishing the gym challenge.

"Hello, I'm Natsuki, who has booked a gym challenge for this morning!"

"Okay!"

The staff member visibly panicked.

"Just a moment please!"

As he spoke, the staff member immediately ran quickly into the dojo.

And a few minutes later.

A mature woman with messy hair appeared in front of Xia Mu.

Brown skin, and a revealing outfit that rivals Xiao Ju'er's.

Hot pants, knee-high boots, and an exposed belly button that makes you feel like you might catch a cold.

All of this reminded Xia Mu of Xiao Ju'er in Raven City.

No wonder these two are the best of friends...

At this time.

Looking at the challenger.

Feng Lu's expression also looked slightly awkward.

Yesterday, some jerk changed the direction of the race route signs, and as a result, all the participants ended up in Fanba City.

I ended up flying back and forth between Fanba City and Fukiyo City late at night.
