I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

But the students seemed quite enthusiastic.

Xu Li, who was complaining slightly in his heart, shook his head helplessly and said nothing.

Just when Xu Li was about to send the students to different 'planting areas' in batches, Danyu came to him unexpectedly.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to challenge you!"

Bai Leya was stunned: "Danyu! Stop kidding! Teacher Xu Li is just..."

"I don't care!" Danyu said, "Since I said in front of my brother yesterday that I would challenge you, I can't go back on my word!"

Xu Li: “…”

Xu Li didn't understand why Danyu was so hostile to him, as they had never had any contact before. He was a little confused.

But thinking of the Blue Mask in the game, Danyu also challenged the protagonist at first on the grounds that he inexplicably did not allow outsiders to enter Kitakami Township, but...

Beishang Township is vigorously developing the tourism industry!

Thinking of this, Xu Li felt relieved.

Just an invisible female ghost with a rational appearance.

When Bai Leya wanted to pull Danyu away further, Xu Li smiled and said, "Okay, I can accept the challenge. However, if you lose, in the future..."

Before Xu Li could finish his request, Danyu puffed up her cheeks and shouted, "If you win! I'll do whatever you want me to do! Anything!"

"Is that alright? Let's fight!"

Xu Li: “…”

Seeing Danyu's impatient look, Xu Li didn't know what to say for a moment.

She wouldn't think that he was a teacher with weak fighting ability like Bai Leiya...

"Okay." That's all Xu Li could say.

Randomly finding an open area beside the emerald green street, Xu Li and Dan Yu split up on either side. The rules were simple: a one-on-one Pokémon battle for the sake of speed.

Danyu sent out a Simocha.

Xu Li is holding Xin Ye Miao.

The small and cute Xinye cat made Danyu narrow her narrow eyes slightly, with a hint of complacency in her eyes.

The opponent sent out such a young Pokémon, no matter how strong it was, it was still underestimating her.

She definitely accepted this victory!

Danyu encouraged herself inwardly.

Xu Li: “…”

Why don't you take a look at the form of the Pokémon you sent out?

As the battle begins.

Danyu confidently spoke out her battle plan: "Simo..."

“Meow—”

New Leaf Cat leaped lightly, its small body gliding through the air, accurately finding the matcha cup holding the long slanted spoon.

A small but ferocious black tooth seemed to appear in the air, accompanied by a snapping sound.

Si Mocha completely lost his ability to fight.

In less than four seconds after the fight began.

Danyu was in the process of describing the battle plan when the next syllable suddenly got stuck. Her hands were folded in front of her chest in a daze, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

"You lose." Xu Li said, opening his arms to hug the new leaf cat that jumped back.

Danyu trembled silently, and slowly lowered her head. After a while, a faint voice came out, "I lost. From now on... in Beishang Township, I will listen to you..."

Done.

Danyu ran away.

He picked up Si Mocha, didn't even look back, and ran away with his head down.

Xu Li: “…”

Did we kill her too quickly and break Danyu's determination?

"Meow?"

New Leaf Cat licked Xu Li's neck and tilted its head in confusion.

Xu Li covered Xinye Miao's cute head with his palm, "No, you did very well."

Just when Xu Li wanted to go back to check on Danyu, a cheerful female voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Um, that trainer, can I...take up some of your time..."

Xu Li turned around and saw a lady holding a camera.

She has neat short blue-green gradient hair, and her upper body is only covered with a bra, revealing her fair and tight belly, and her lower body is tight jeans, showing her slender calves and round buttocks.

A cat-like dog with curly hair and a gray stone smell followed him.

—Washing the Tricatti dog.

Xu Li was stunned for a moment. This woman gave him the feeling of... diamond? Exactly the same hair color, the pentagonal earrings on her ears that resembled Team Kong, and this jade-washed Catwoman.

Is he really his descendant?

"Hello, my name is Sha Li!" She said with a smile, "I was very interested in watching your fight just now! I accidentally took a few pictures. If, if you don't mind, can I take more pictures..."

"Okay." Xu Li said.

"Meow~?" Xinye Cat looked curiously at the strange Chinchilla that was sniffing around. When it saw it approaching, it stretched out its cat paw and slapped its nose.

"Woo..."

Washicati dog's eyes were filled with tears.

Xu Li quickly apologized.

Sha Lilian said it was okay, raised her camera, and captured the scene of Xinye Cat bullying Xichuikati Dog.

Xichuikati dog felt even more aggrieved, lying on the ground with his hands covering his nose and becoming autistic.

Afterwards, with the soothing of Xu Li's energy cube and massage, she soon became happy again, blowing her tongue.

"Growlithe seems to like you very much!" Sha Li said casually, and took photos of the bear cub and the hunting swallowtail butterfly combination summoned by Xu Li, taking pictures of the "Jingjing Honey Thief Duo" poses one by one.

"Maybe I'm familiar with it." Xu Li replied. Looking at the somewhat dazed Growlithe, he recalled the time when he first met his Growlithe.

However, compared to his original Cati dog, this Chitori seemed much more carefree and happy.

"Oh..." Shali tilted her head curiously, but didn't think much about it and continued taking pictures of herself.

Soon, Xu Li looked at the time.

"It's almost time for them to leave for 'farm work,'" Xu Li said, "I'll take my leave now..."

"Huh..." Sha Li said quickly, "So fast! I want to take more pictures!"

"Next time."

"Well... okay." Sha Li was a little disappointed, but still expressed her gratitude to Xu Li, then said, "Then it's a deal! I heard that there is an extremely strange Pokémon in the Permanent Forest of Beishang Township. Let's go there and take pictures next time!"

"...Okay." Although it was Sha Li's own decision, Xu Li agreed after thinking about it.

Eternal Forest, Strange Pokémon?

Thinking of this, Xu Li blinked.

……

In the next few days, Xu Li, as the team leader of this summer camp, watched the students helping the farmers in Beishang Township pick the fruits of their months of hard work in the farmlands and apple fields under the sun.

Zi Yu was picking apples in front, and Xu Li's Xin Ye Miao followed behind to taste them.

After Danyu's decisive defeat to Xu Li, she often avoided him. However, Xu Li would always find a way to provoke Danyu, fulfilling her promise after losing the battle, and make her do small tasks—for example, asking her to massage New Leaf's back, letting Smooth Tea brew, and having her Vulpix heat it up...

Danyu accepted all this with a dark face.

Xu Li, on the other hand, didn't have much contact with Danyu's younger brother, Wuli. But he could always be seen in some inexplicable corner, watching Xu Li order his sister around, as if with admiration.

I don't quite understand.

Similar behavior to Wu Li is that of Egui Yan, who often hides in the grass and watches Xu Li.

Because there were too many people around Xu Li, and most of them were local farmers from Beishang Township, Eguipeng did not dare to get close.

He could only stare at Xu Li blankly with fear and longing in his eyes.

It was afraid of loneliness and hoped to muster up the courage to make friends with Xu Li, but when it saw the residents of Beishang Township wandering around Xu Li, it trembled in its heart and was distressed by its own cowardice.

During this period, Xu Li hadn't interacted with it that much. He would just often place an energy block on Ergui's way back, and then watch from afar as it happily found it and jumped back to Ghost Mountain.

Time passed quickly, and soon, driven by the excitement of the Blueberry Academy students, the crops in Beishang Township were quickly harvested by them happily.

The residents of Beishang Township are very grateful for this.

But no action was taken.

The administrator used the excuse of 'thanking Blueberry Academy for their help with the harvest' to start the Masked Face Festival, which would be held every year after the harvest, even if Blueberry Academy didn't come.

Moreover, the activities did not give any preferential treatment to Blueberry College students, and many more stalls were opened, allowing Blueberry College students to consume with pure and kind eyes and enthusiastically.

Such a small idea made Xu Li shake his head helplessly.

But I have to say that the atmosphere of the masking festival in reality is indeed not as bad as the performance in the game. The ethnic characteristics and atmosphere on the scene are very rich and lively.

During the Masking Festival, almost everyone wears a mask on their face and wears a solemn kimono.

The bright moonlight was as clear as water, shining on the streets, giving every mask walking beneath it a layer of silvery glow.

On both sides of the street, the vendors were full of enthusiasm. The flames in the stalls in front of them flickered, reflecting the smiling faces of those who were able to harvest again, and bursting with fragrance.

The entire Face-Masking Festival, with its moonlight, masks, festive celebrations, lively people and atmosphere, is like a flowing painting with strong ethnic characteristics.

Xu Li was not wearing a kimono, but just simple casual clothes, walking casually on the street.

the other side.

A small figure, trembling slightly all over, tightened the hideous and laughing green grass mask on his face, and mustered up the courage to step into this bustling area full of people from the north.

Only on this festival when everyone wears a mask, people will not pay special attention to the mask on their face.

"Boni-oh——"

Under the mask of the evil spirit, its eyes seemed to be glowing like stars, constantly searching among the crowd, nervously trying to find the friend it wanted to make the most, and looking forward to seeing that face.

The place where the Face-Masking Ceremony is held is not very big in Beishang Center.

The Hellion quickly found its target.

The person who is obviously different from the people around him!

Er Guiyan's mood suddenly became excited, and he took so many steps that he almost fell. But fortunately, after a few staggers, Er Guiyan managed to reach his side.

"Bo, Boni oh..."

Xu Li felt something pitifully pulling at the hem of his clothes.

He lowered his head and took a look.

Then she was met with a pair of golden eyes like stars. The stars inside seemed to be about to fall out with the tears that could not be held back.

"Bo, Boni oh..."

Seeing Xu Li stunned, Erguiyan called out pitifully again and carefully pulled the hem of Xu Li's clothes.

"I'm so, so sorry about what happened earlier. I didn't mean to run away..."

"But now that I've come here, can you please be friends with me, the Eruption?"

Erguiyan carefully took out a bright red apple from under its green robe and held it in front of Xu Li.

"I'm giving it to you... Eat this bright red fruit and you'll feel strong. It's my favorite thing..."

"Can you be friends with me again..."

Erkui called out weakly with a hint of hope in her voice.
