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

Xia Mu and Feng Lu hadn't expected this.

What will happen when a stubborn clay giant meets a fearless warrior eagle?

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

The clay giant's fist and the warrior eagle's forehead collided again and again.

Bang!

Bang!

With each muffled thud, a metallic sheen gradually appeared on the Warrior Eagle's forehead.

"No? This is Iron Head?!"

Xia Mu blinked, feeling that this scene looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere just yesterday.

At this time.

When Feng Lu saw the energy gradually becoming frenzied and jumping up from the clay giant's fist, she blinked in confusion as well.

"What is this?"

boom!

A loud bang.

Even after using the Iron Head skill, Warrior Eagle was still slammed into the ground once again, and even the ground itself cracked.

Looking at this scene.

Feng Lu, who had once fought against Lian Wu, the Fighting-type Elite Four member, finally confirmed the move that Claydol had just used.

A powerful move in the Fighting style.

Skills that can only be mastered with a mindset of giving it your all.

A punch delivered with all your might will inevitably cause confusion to your opponent—the Explosive Fist!

After taking the explosive punch, Warrior Eagle finally collapsed to the ground, his eyes turning into mosquito coils, and he lost his ability to fight.

Looking at this scene.

Feng Lu shook her head helplessly.

The reason for the defeat lies in...

The battle was dragged into a ground fight right from the start, completely negating the advantage of Flying-type Pokémon.

"Every time I'm with you, I rediscover myself!"

Feng Lu, who had retrieved the Warrior Eagle, walked up to Xia Mu and extended his right hand.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Fenglu, a gym trainer who still needs to learn!"

"Xia Mu, what a handsome guy!"

? ?

Xiaoyao, who had just walked up to Natsuki to celebrate, looked at the two people in front of her with a slightly puzzled expression.

Weren't these two people in a tense atmosphere before?

Xiaoyao suddenly remembered a few phrases that were widely circulated among trainers.

Every battle between trainers is a clash of hearts!

Want to know if a trainer is reliable? Then have a battle!

"..."

These two sentences, coupled with the exciting battle just now, made Xiaoyao's mouth slightly open.

Oh no, these two have developed feelings for each other!

wait?

Why did I say it was broken?!

Xiaoyao tilted her head, deciding to put it out of her mind.

At this time.

Summer flies rub their hands together.

"So, what is my reward?"

Feng Lu smiled smugly.

"Haven't you always wanted to be famous? Hatchling, the Gym Leader of Snowdrop City, owes me a favor. I can get you a role in his movie!"

"..."

To be honest, the rewards are indeed effective.

But not many.

Xia Mu naturally recognized Hachiku.

In addition to being a Gym Leader, he is also a Pokémon Hollywood actor, having starred in many movies.

Among them are solo film series like "Hatch Cool Hero".

but.

In Natsuki's view, this was a man who wavered between the world of martial arts and the world of martial arts training.

He has retired from the esports scene and resigned from his position as a gym leader.

In the end, he still made movies and became a gym leader.

to be frank.

If Xia Mu were a newcomer to the entertainment industry, participating in Hachiku's movies would indeed be a good way out.

can.

Xia Mu, who once watched the movie "Hachiku" with her cat and Snake Sister, knows this.

In the Hatchku movies, the main focus is on Hatchku and his Pokémon.

and.

If it's a supporting role with a lot of screen time, then the time spent filming a movie might be enough for Xia Mu to collect all the remaining badges.

For roles with limited screen time, Xia Mu might be better off shooting behind-the-scenes footage of a movie than playing the part.

After all.

Compared to the time spent participating in film shooting, it's just to play a dispensable role in a movie and receive meager compensation.

Xia Mu felt he was being taken advantage of.

In Xia Mu's opinion, if a movie were to be made...

Once you've gained fame, copy the ideas from a few movies and have the screenwriter write them down.

If Xiaoju'er and Fenglu perform, I might be able to make a fortune.

"Then I'd rather act with you..."

Xia Mu was just complaining that the reward was bad and wanted to teach Feng Lu a lesson.

Let's find a more practical reward.

But Fenglu didn't know if she had misunderstood something.

His eyes lit up.

"Great idea! I'll bring Xiaoju along as your accompaniment later..."

???

Under Xia Mu's questioning gaze, Feng Lu seemed to have thought of something, and her expression grew increasingly excited.

"Let me ask Hachiku what we should pay attention to when making a movie?"

"No, wait..."

Feng Lu disappeared from Xia Mu and the other person's sight in the blink of an eye.

Looking at this scene.

Xia Mu remained silent for a long time.

I suspect she's lying to me!

Xia Mu's expression was very serious.

At this moment, Xia Mu was extremely suspicious that Feng Lu had just decided to give a reward on a whim, but didn't know what it could be.

That's why he seemed so excited when he heard that he was going to make a movie.

Making a movie?

With such a busy schedule, where would the curator find the time to make movies?

and.

Xia Mu thought of something.

"This guy didn't even mention a time!!"

Feng Lu's behavior is like drawing a pie in the sky—a pie in the sky with no shadow and no end in sight—to deceive himself.

Thinking of all this, Xia Mu clenched his fist.

"I've never suffered such a huge loss before! Feng Lu, you'll remember this!"

Seeing Xia Mu take out a small notebook from his waist bag and start writing and drawing, Xiao Yao was speechless.

"..."

I'm really sorry for thinking that your relationship improved after the fight.

I was being arbitrary.

Amidst Natsuki's rambling and Haruka's silence, the two returned to the Pokémon Center.
