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

"Whoo~"

"Mr. Hatchku's fans are terrifying..."

"What if I become this popular someday?!"

Looking at Natsuki, whose face showed lingering fear that then turned to distress.

While speechless, Xiaoyao was also worried about Hachiku's current situation.

"Mr. Hatchku, is everything alright?"

Xia Mu waved his hand.

"Don't worry, he can fight the tundra bears hand-to-hand in 'Bear Fight in the Snow,' so he can easily get away with just a few fans!"

Xia Mu trusted Hachiku quite a bit.

After realizing that this guy wasn't after her body, Xia Mu's affection for Hachiku increased dramatically.

There aren't many gym owners this enthusiastic anymore!

"But...that's a movie, right?"

"No stunt doubles, all the stunts are done by the performers themselves – that's one of Hatchku's selling points!"

Seeing Natsuki raising his eyebrows, Haruka was indeed somewhat comforted.

but.

As she breathed a sigh of relief, Xiaoyao remembered something else.

"Speaking of which, was that shout just now... from Officer Jenny...?"

Xia Mu nodded.

"It's Officer Jenny's Hayok!"

Looking at Xia Mu's confident face, Xiao Yao didn't want to ask him why he was so sure.

after all.

Xiaoyao felt that as long as she spent more time with Xia Mu, she would definitely learn this skill too.

You can tell a person's personality by their dog's voice!

At this moment, it might be because of the intense running just now, or it might be because of relaxing.

Xiaoyao suddenly felt very tired.

“ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh~”

After sighing, Xiaoyao looked at Xiamu.

"Shall we go back now?"

Xia Mu took out his phone from his pocket and checked the time.

"It's getting late indeed..."

Having reached an agreement, the two decided to return to the Pokémon Center for a good rest.

but.

Xia Mu, however, did not notice.

The GPS tracker that I had put in my pocket fell to the ground as I took out my phone.

After the two gradually walked away.

A raven flying in the air suddenly noticed a locator flashing on the ground.

"Gah~"

The surprised Dark Raven swooped down, picked up the locator, flapped its wings, and flew away from where it stood.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fatigue is always there...

After returning to the Pokémon Center, Natsuki walked through the hall and into the backyard.

"Young blacksmith!"

"Clang clang~"

Looking at the box in Xia Mu's hand, the little blacksmith who emerged from the Poké Ball had a gleam in his eyes.

Could this be...?

The young blacksmith excitedly opened the box, held up the alloy block in his hand, and took a deep breath.

"Clang!"

The little hand touched the smooth surface of the alloy.

The young blacksmith could never have imagined that such perfect metal existed in the world.

clang!

"Whoo-hoo~"

clang!

"Whoo-hoo~"

Watching the young blacksmith tap the alloy, making a strange sound in response.

Xia Mu looked slightly disgusted.

What happened to this adorable little girl...?

but.

Xia Mu hadn't expected this.

After obtaining this alloy, the young blacksmith not only made strange noises, but also for a very long time.

clang!

clang!

As dusk fell, the alloy did not deform as quickly as the previous I-beams.

"As expected of a masterpiece of human technology, it's really durable..."

Xia Mu was slightly surprised.

It's clear that the mountain of ore and the iron ants' massive steel mandibles were swept away in a very short time when we were in the iron ant nest.

It's just a piece of alloy weighing one pound.

Even after several tens of minutes of effort by the young blacksmith, it only deformed and shrank slightly.

However, while marveling at human technology, Xia Mu also had some worries.

Judging from the young blacksmith's current progress, it's likely that even by late at night, the alloy won't be fully integrated into the sledgehammer.

Especially after seeing that Xin Ye Miao, who was just quite interested, was now covering her ears in frustration.

At this moment, Xia Mu understood even more.

If this continues, I might get ganged up on and beaten up by the other trainers living in the Pokémon Center.

But the young blacksmith's current frenzied state doesn't seem like he can stop easily.

Just then.

"Natsuki~"

The gentle and natural Miss Joey walked slowly to Xia Mu's side.

"The night sky outside Snowflake City is so beautiful! Could you move out and stay somewhere else?"

"what?!"

This abrupt change left Xia Mu completely stunned.

One second the night sky is beautiful, the next second it's telling me to get lost?!

After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Xia Mu looked at Qiao Yi in front of her and thought about her natural personality.

I can basically guess that the next direct statement is Joey's thought.

The excuse that the night sky is beautiful must have come from someone else.

Shift your gaze backward.

as predicted.

Several sneaky trainers appeared in Natsuki's line of sight.

next moment.

Those trainers who noticed Natsuki's gaze immediately lowered their heads and busied themselves with nothing to do, their acting skills being exceptionally poor.

"I see......"

Xia Mu touched his chin.

Although I had been thinking about going camping, since you guys have come to my door, I won't be polite.

Xia Mu chuckled twice and whispered to Miss Joey.

At this time.

Inside the Pokémon Center.

The trainers exchanged glances.

"Did he find out?!"

"I knew I shouldn't have sent Miss Joey; her natural personality would definitely have messed things up..."

"Then why didn't you go? Didn't you agree to it back then?"

"That's just a blacksmith's nature, and it's not that late yet. What would it look like if I went to ask him to leave?!"

This is the awkward part.

Since it wasn't too late, and they had just been singing in the room, playing around with their Pokémon, and even doing special training.
