You're the only one who knows how to battle Pokémon?

"Hmm? What does dating mean?" she asked confusedly, then turned to her best friend.

"Do you mean we fight each other often? Then Mary and I are dating too!"

Lillie: "..."

Gladion: "..."

Ji Bei: “…”

"Ah..." Mary sighed and said, "I'm used to it. I hope you guys get used to it too."

"Don't try to explain the relationship between men and women to Xiaoyou. That's completely the opposite of the truth."

"Anyway, you are welcome in the Galar region."

"Coach Ji has already told me the purpose of your coming here. We happen to be in the Crown Snowfield as well, and we will provide you with all the help we can."

For some reason, Mary felt a little lost in her heart. She heard that Nangong Ye was declaring his sovereignty, and the other party was intentionally warning her to stay away from Ji Bei.

This world is indeed not a monogamous one, but sometimes, one party will strongly oppose the other party finding more partners.

Because of her personality, she really couldn't "play dumb" as unscrupulously as Xiaoyou, because when it came to matters between men and women, this best friend of hers was really dumb.

Even if things develop to the point of a raging fire, no one can do anything to her.

What about me? Will there be no result with Coach Ji?

At this moment, Mary had not yet realized that evil humans were the natural nemesis of ghost humans, and was just feeling upset for having lost the initiative.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her best friend, Xiaoyou, who was pulling Ji Bei to the stove with one hand and begging, "I haven't eaten Jibao's cooking for more than two months. Do you know how I survived these two months?"

Mary muttered quietly, "In just these two days, you've already eaten all of the Crown Snowfield!"

Xiaoyou was quick to notice her bestie's complaints and immediately explained: "One thing for another!"

"The food from Crown Snowfield and the food from Jibao are not the same!"

Nangong Ye: “…”

She was sure that this girl was stupid. Not only was she obsessed with "eating", but she also completely ignored her declared sovereignty. At this moment, she was very close to Ji Bei and her behavior was very intimate.

It can be said that this short period of physical contact is equivalent to the physical contact that Nangong Ye has with Ji Bei in a month.

Gladion closed his eyes and rested. He was not idle enough to care about Ji Bei's emotional state. As long as Liliae was not unhappy, it didn't matter.

In contrast, the most important thing about this trip is to find his father.

Ji Bei couldn't beat Xiao You. The beautiful girl's stickers were still very lethal, so he thought for a while and said, "We have experienced a lot of battles just now, and the Pokémon's physical strength has been seriously depleted. It's better to rest here."

"The harsh natural conditions in the Crown Snow Plains have also made the wild Pokémon here extremely strong. If you are not fully prepared, you may get hurt."

"Everyone, have a good rest. I'll prepare dinner for you!"

Listening to what he said, Xiaoyou seemed not to understand.

"Just now? That canyon? The battle with the Dynamax Pokémon there?"

"Those Pokémon can still cause considerable damage?"

This posture is just like the question that Hashirama Senju asked after he was resurrected and learned that the Yondaime and the Nine-Tails died together.

"That thing can kill people?" Exactly the same.

Ji Bei could only sigh that the protagonist of the game was so terrifying.

"Ahem..." Gladion almost couldn't catch his breath. He felt that his ability as a trainer was being underestimated.

"Hehe..." Mary just smiled. She was used to it.

You bastard Xiaoyou! Did you know that I was forced to cross the Colossal Canyon alone after hearing your phone call and was almost killed?

But the next moment, Xiaoyou seemed to understand, she understood something on her own.

"Oh, I see. Jibao said that to take care of me, and I deliberately found fault with him. How rude of me!"

That's what I mean! With Jibao's strength, how could he be troubled by a wild Gigantamax Pokémon? It's just a rhetoric.

Chapter 86: Three thousand, just three thousand!

Gladion felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. From Xiaoyou's very natural speech, he felt that this trainer had extraordinary strength.

As expected, they are Ji Bei’s friends. Are their strengths so terrifying?

He lost two Pokémon in the Max Canyon. Lycanroc and Sliverac both lost their combat ability in the middle of the battle. Only Umbreon survived to the end.

Moreover, this is the result of four people moving forward together!

If he were alone, he would not be able to safely resist the Crown Snowfield!

So, how powerful can Xiaoyou be if he thinks those Pokémon have no ability to hurt people?

Gladion even felt his pride as a trainer was shaken!

At the same time, Ji Bei also started to prepare dinner. Looking at the dazzling array of ingredients, he couldn't help himself for a moment.

I have to say that Xiaoyou is simply a food hunter in the Pokémon world. Even in a harsh environment like the Crown Tundra, she has found quite a few precious ingredients.

If it weren’t for his level 10 cooking skills, Ji Bei really wouldn’t be able to cook them well.

You can imagine how sumptuous this meal was.

Apart from Lillie, who was very well-educated and didn't eat like a glutton, even Gladion wolfed down the food without caring about his image, making "woops" sounds from time to time, almost turning into a werewolf.

As for Pokémon, they eat the same food. They have stronger physiques than humans and can digest human food in the same way.

At the same time, Ji Bei's cooking is of great benefit to Pokémon, strengthening their bodies and enhancing their attribute energy.

So, no matter whose Pokémon it is, they all enjoy eating it.

This dinner lasted for more than an hour, and everyone had an intoxicated smile on their face.

"Ah! It's so satisfying! But Jibao won't stay in Galar forever. How should I live in the future?" Xiaoyou looked at the ceiling and slowly expressed his thoughts on life.

"Indeed, I can't stop." Mary also expressed her approval. After eating these delicacies, she even entered the sage time and felt that she had no regrets in life and death.

The two of them, as well as Liliae and Nangong Ye, have eaten Ji Bei's cooking more than once, so they have developed some resistance and will not lose their composure too much.

And Gladion was almost about to burst out: "It's a hundred times better than XX!"

Don't get me wrong, XX refers to Pokémon battles, not any vulgar words.

"Unbelievable, this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life. Even the delicacies from the Ether Foundation's Food Department cannot compare to this!"

Gladion gave it a very high evaluation.

"Ether Foundation? I've heard of it! Could it be that... you are rich people?" Xiaoyou became excited for a moment, and his eyes turned into stars.

"I've made friends with you two!"

Ji Bei reached out his hand and pinched her smooth and elastic face. He was well aware of the "bad habits" of the protagonist of the game.

"Don't have any bad ideas. At least give me some face."

"Hehehe...how could that be...I'm a good citizen who abides by the law!" Xiao Youmeng got away with it and started to make excuses.

"I know that gambling is against the law, but ordinary people have no chance of winning a gambling fight with you!" Ji Bei complained mercilessly.

After all, resources are too abundant in most parts of the world, and many people are bored, so they gamble in Pokémon battles.

As long as the amount is not too exaggerated, there is no need to worry about being checked by Miss Junsha.

Gladion stood up immediately and said, "As long as I put up the stakes, will you fight me?"

Since he decided to take a day off, he wanted to use the remaining time to warm up a little to ensure that he would be in good condition if he encountered an unexpected situation tomorrow.

Xiaoyou swallowed and wondered what price to offer so that she could make some money without scaring the other party away.

Although he is Ji Bei's friend, the young man in front of him is obviously not short of money.

She looked at Ji Bei tentatively and made a three with her fingers.

Three? Three thousand? That shouldn't be a big problem, right? Ji Bei thought about it.

But Xiaoyou was thinking about thirty thousand.

Before their eye contact ended, Gladion seemed to get something from it.

"3000? That's not a big problem. It's within the budget."

Ji Bei nodded, and Xiaoyou put down his finger angrily.

It’s only three thousand, that’s not much to earn!

She could get more than this if she won the gym tournament!

The Galar region is a highly commercialized league. Every capable trainer can monetize his skills without having to worry about making a living.

This is a far cry from the Alola region where the Alliance had not yet been formed.

The bet was established, and Xiaoyou and Gladion went outside to fight in the snow.

I don’t know why, but when the time for the fight came, my brother-in-law was no longer cold, nor did he shiver. He even took off his coat, as if he felt it would hinder the fight.

Is this the fiery will of the trainer? It can provide sufficient temperature physically!

His opponent, Xiaoyou, seemed to be less resistant to cold. She didn't wear much in the snow and ice, except for some thicker stockings.

"Can Brother win?" Liliae couldn't help but worry.

Ji Bei patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the result of this game is no surprise."

"You mean..."

"Xiaoyou can't lose!"

As expected, Liliae shook her head helplessly.

According to Nangong Ye's teachings, she now almost understands Ji Bei's habits. He can always give you the answer you least want to hear at the critical moment.

However, the truth is this version is cruel.

The difference in strength between Xiaoyou and Gladion is huge. After all, in the game, he will never be able to defeat "Mizuki" in his entire life. (The heroine of Sun and Moon Game)

Xiaoyou is the counterpart to Mitsuki, but he is a sword and shield version.

Within ten minutes, Gladion was defeated miserably, and didn't even defeat a single Pokémon of Xiaoyou.

In response, Ji Bei observed three seconds of silence for him.

"I lost. There are so many powerful trainers in this world."

Gladion reflected on his mistakes and felt regretful about his own weak strength.

However, he is not a weak-willed trainer and will not be defeated by this setback.

"As agreed, I'll transfer three thousand to you."

He asked for Xiaoyou's account and started transferring money.

But not long after, Xiaoyou exclaimed.

She seemed quite frightened.

"Hide? Take? How much?"

"Three thousand! Not a cent more, not a cent less." Gladion said confidently.

Ji Bei leaned over to look at Xiaoyou's phone and felt dizzy.

Three thousand was indeed three thousand, but Gladion omitted one ten thousand.

It is 30 Alliance Coins.

Chapter 87: Sleeping Together

“Three thousand... ten thousand…” Xiaoyou felt dizzy as she looked at the numbers on her phone, feeling like she was dreaming.

"I've never seen so much money in my life!"

"Actually, Xiaoyou only intends to blackmail you for three thousand, not ten thousand." Ji Bei patted Gladion, indicating that his actions were a bit exaggerated.
