Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

But Yali could tell from the smile on his face that he was also looking forward to this plan.

"So why don't you urge Xiaozhi to come over quickly?"

Lars pointed to a telephone booth not far away that had not been hidden.

If he were to come, Xiaozhi would only be able to reminisce with him on the phone. It would be almost impossible for Xiaozhi to speed up the process.

But Xiaomao is different.

Xiao Mao, a bad friend who has always been against him since childhood, can do what Las has to do with all his strength with just one word.

"Did you install it on Ash's Pokedex?"

"I had him install it when we were in Deep Gray City."

Yali: “?”

What riddle are these two people talking about?

But it was soon discovered that by dialing the number in the phone booth, Xiaozhi's image soon appeared on the screen.

It can be seen that Xiaozhi is very surprised.

"Xiao Mao!? How did you get a call to my Pokedex?!"

"Does the Pokédex have this function?!"

Haha, Hedgehog Head smiled contemptuously.

"Xiaozhi, you've been out for so long, you didn't just get two badges, did you?"

He brought the badge box within the camera's range with one hand, and combined with Xiaomao's condescending attitude, he mocked her to the maximum extent.

For Xiaozhi.

"So what if there are only two of us! I won't lose in a fight!"

"Just wait! I'm going to beat the living crap out of you!"

Xiaozhi on the other end of the phone immediately got furious, and Pikachu was so scared that it fell off his shoulder.

I'm so excited that I can't wait to have a Pokémon battle with Xiaomao right now.

And at this time, Xiaomao is still performing.

"Heh, you don't have the qualifications to challenge me with only two badges."

Spread your hands, close your eyes and raise your head.

As soon as the attitude filled with contempt came out, the anger in Xiaozhi's eyes almost became real.

"I just happened to pass by a Pokémon research school. The senior students there claim to have eight badges upon graduation."

"Guess what."

"She hasn't even seen the third Pokémon yet. She's no match for me. The difference is as big as the difference between you and a genius."

"If you want to challenge me, Xiaozhi, you should first defeat the senior students of that school."

"Oh, if that's you, you might get beaten and sent back home to your mother!"

"Hahaha!"

Then, without giving Xiaozhi a chance to refute his harsh words, Xiaomao hung up the phone.

But everyone could imagine how helpless and furious Xiaozhi would feel on the other end of the call.

"Okay, now Xiaozhi will arrive at the earliest tonight and the latest tomorrow morning."

The two smiled at each other and high-fived to celebrate.

Kanto Region: Chapter 30: Serena finally couldn't stand it anymore

"Good morning, Mom."

Serena, dressed neatly and holding her hat, came down the stairs.

Seeing his mother busy in the kitchen, he greeted her enthusiastically.

"Good morning, Serena..."

Ms. Sage responded, but was a little confused.

The little bird standing on the window sill also looked confused.

Glancing at the clock hanging in the kitchen, Ms. Sachi felt somewhat like she was dreaming.

At this time, Serena is usually dozing off, waiting for the little sparrow to wake her up before coming down to eat breakfast and start morning exercises.

"Oh, you don't look like you're going for a morning workout. Are you going on a date, Serena?"

"You want to go, right?"

Serena had a brief fantasy, but it was quickly ruined by the sudden appearance of Lars' mocking face.

He shook his head vigorously.

"I'm going to Dr. Bratano's early!"

In advance.

I wasn't surprised at all.

"Is it because of that phone call yesterday? Serena and Lars have a really good relationship."

Ms. Sachi had her hands to her face, clearly thinking about something that didn't exist.

"Who's on good terms with that guy? It's Satoshi. I'm going to Kanto to travel with Satoshi!"

I took a big bite of my breakfast bread, not knowing who I was thinking of.

What the Las and Xiaomao brothers did yesterday made Serena's sense of crisis explode, and she made up her mind not to wait any longer.

Anyway, it's happening this year, so it's perfectly fine to apply in advance and claim the Pokémon.

It's just right to apply first and then set off for Miare City. Once you arrive, you can go to the doctor to get the initial Pokémon.

There is a sense of urgency. If I wait any longer, it might take more than ten years before I can see Xiaozhi.

"Ash, that little boy who always wears a hat?"

Ms. Saki thought for a moment before digging out from her memory the little boy whom she had only met a few times at the Oak Research Institute.

The impression was not deep, after all, it was Russ who had been calling his daughter for three years.

"Is that so? Then it's better to be prepared to return empty-handed."

Serena: “?”

What's going on? Why is it that no one thinks she can succeed?

Forget about the two brothers Las and Xiaomao who love to play pranks, but why doesn’t their own mother think they can succeed?

"Because that boy has a strong passion for Pokémon."

Ms. Sage thought about it and it was easy to dig Xiaozhi out of her memory.

Because of that look.

From the inside out, I am passionate about Pokémon.

I don't see any room for love.

Ms. Sachi also understood her own daughter. Since she came back from the summer camp, although she had someone in her heart, she did not understand the person in her heart and just kept beautifying him in her mind.

"Admiration is the furthest distance between you and someone, Serena."

Serena: “???”

"Mom, you are saying something incomprehensible again."

"Isn't that what Lars told you?"

Ms. Sage put down a glass of milk in front of Serena.

My daughter's reaction was a bit strange.

In the past, when I occasionally passed by, I heard the little boy on the other end of the phone say some very philosophical words a few times. I thought that my daughter, who often communicated with the little boy, had been influenced by him.

The result is totally incomprehensible.

"Then you will definitely return empty-handed this time."

"How did it become a certainty?!" Serena was shocked.

Why did her mother's evaluation of her become even lower after this simple conversation?

Does she really look like a loser? Where does the impression that she will definitely fail come from?

First it was Lars, then it was Xiao Mao, and now even mom is one of them!

"Why don't you change your target? Lars is a good choice."

"People like Lars, who just sit on the sidelines and don't consider their own emotional issues at all, are the easiest to deal with. Just go up and pounce. I guarantee his mind will go blank and he'll be in a panic."

"Dr. Oak's grandson is not bad, a little cocky, but that's how little boys are. Recording it will be an interesting story for the future."

"They all have a higher success rate than Xiaozhi~"

Ms. Sachi analyzed this to Serena in a serious tone.

Serena's face turned red and she was so angry.

"Really?! I'm not going to talk to you anymore! I'm leaving now!"

Serena picked up the savings she had accumulated for more than three years and rushed out of the door in anger.

The look of running towards the place where one wants to go is full of youthful energy.

Ms. Sachi shook her head, already imagining her daughter coming back dejected after a breakup.

Oh, of course, there's also the possibility of hooking up with another little boy and not having to come back crying in her mother's arms.

"Well, heartbreak is part of youth."

Ms. Sachi sighed, nodding at the little sparrow's head.

I was thinking about whether I should call and tell Lars in advance to ask him to take care of my daughter.

"Beep! Kanto's calling!"

Just as I was thinking this, the phone at home rang.

There was no doubt that the call was from that guy from Lars.

We're truly in tune with each other. (Laughs)

"Hey, are you looking for Serena~?"

"Yeah, it is... huh?"

Lars's stunned expression was reflected on the phone screen.

I was very surprised that the person who answered the phone was Ms. Sachi.

He asked cautiously:

"Serena is still emo?"

"You're also worried that Serena will be ruined!"

Ms. Sage put on an expression of surprise, but mostly amusement.

Ms. Sachi actually enjoyed watching Lars tease his daughter with harmless jokes.

Train Serena to have a big heart.

However, when she saw that it was her who answered the phone today, Ms. Sachi was very curious because she was worried that Serena's defenses had been broken.

"Did you do something outrageous yesterday?"

"Emmmm..."

"That's probably a bit too much for her, right?"
