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

Flame wondered why they had to change trainers. What would happen to Shinji then?

Then it simply shook its head and rejected Xu Li's proposal.

Xu Li stopped talking.

Perhaps only when the little flame monkey is abandoned will it realize how inhuman Shinji is...

In the end, Flame found Shinji on his own and entered Shinji's Poké Ball.

Infernape scratched his cheek helplessly...he had jumped into the pit again.

……

It was almost three or four in the morning when Xu Li and Zhu Lan left the Pokémon Center and returned to their room at the Pokémon Hotel.

"Hoo... Let's go to sleep... We have to go watch Xiaoguang and Xiaozhao's doubles match tomorrow..."

Xu Li threw himself onto the bed. Fortunately, the moisture on the bed had dried up by then.

I was just about to have a good sleep, after all, it was too late.

"Zhulan...what are you doing...it's too late..."

Xu Li's eyes, which had just been closed, suddenly opened

"Ali... just once..."

"Uh…"

...

The next day at eleven o'clock, the sun was already high in the sky.

Xu Li slowly pulled apart Zhulan's hands and feet that were wrapped around him, and tapped Zhulan's smooth cheek viciously.

Say it was once.

But after the first time, Zhulan couldn't stop.

It was about four, five, six, seven or eight times, and Xu Li was not sure anymore.

Anyway, Zhulan might not be able to get up for a while. Thinking of this, Xu Li suddenly felt a little proud. At least he won.

Although it cost hundreds of millions...

He got out of bed somewhat unsteadily.

Fairy Eevee led him downstairs, got some warm water and some desserts, and placed them at the head of Zhulan's bed where she was sleeping.

Xu Li then headed to the venue for the doubles tournament in Jiayuan City.

Although I came late, it was a good opportunity.

It was Xiaoguang and Xiaozhao's turn to fight at this time. Their opponents were Gas Bomb and Scyther, whose levels were only around twenty.

With the help of Xiaozhao's Sakura Flash, Help and other auxiliary skills, Pogamon easily stunned the gas bomb, and then it was even more impossible for the Scyther to turn the tables with only one left.

Xiaoguang and Xiaozhao won easily.

"Brother Xu Li!! I thought you didn't come..."

After returning to the contestant hall and seeing Xu Li, Xiaoguang said in surprise.

Xu Li smiled and said, "Pogaman is great!"

"Boga~"

Pogaman raised his head proudly.

"Of course, Teru and Sakura are great too."

Xu Li stroked the calyx on Sakura's head, causing Sakura to shake.

"It's quite shy and often hides in the petals and doesn't come out." Xiaozhao said with a smile.

Xiao Guang looked around and asked doubtfully, "Where's Sister Zhulan?"

Xu Li was a little proud: "Sister Zhulan is still resting..."

"Ah... What did Sister Zhulan do? Are you tired..." Xiaoguang asked in confusion.

"Uh…"

Just when Xu Li was thinking about what to say.

"Xiao Guang, the following is your friend Xiao Gang's battle..."

Xiaozhao came to the rescue.

"okay!"

Xiaoguang's attention shifted to the battlefield.

Xu Li discovered that Xiao Zhao was staring at him with strange eyes, and his face was a little red...

...

Xiaogang's battle ended quickly, and he won against a big sister who used a long-winged gull.

After watching several more battles, the last one was played, and the team of Xiaozhi and Shinji took the stage.

Their opponents sent out Infernape and Rhydon.

Shinji sent out Flame Monkey without any changes.

"What's going on! Flame clearly still needs to recuperate, yet you send it into battle so easily..." Xiaogang said with a frown. He knew best that Flame's body was not in a condition to continue fighting.

In the following battle, Infernape was attacked several times by Infernape.

Facing the surf coming from the side of the Diamondhorn.

Shinji didn't give the order to dodge.

"Little Flame Monkey, use the Flame Wheel."

Even the commentator was puzzled by Shinji's behavior: "Is this asking the little Infernape to use the Flame Wheel to counter the Surf? But no matter how you look at it, it's not going to be at a good advantage!"

If Ash hadn't had a sudden inspiration and used Pikachu's Iron Tail to split the huge wave, Flame would have been drowned in this powerful wave.

Suffer irreversible damage.

Xu Li didn't say anything, but the Flame Monkey next to him was extremely anxious.

Now that today's game is over.

"Let's go."

So he took Xiaozhao and Xiaoguang and left.

After finding a restaurant and having a meal with Xiaozhao and Xiaoguang, Xu Li returned to the Pokémon Hotel with another packed meal.

As soon as the door opened, Zhulan opened her eyes in a daze and murmured.

"Ali..."

Then open your arms.

"I want a hug..."

Xu Li smiled. Zhulan, who usually acted efficiently, was now acting coquettishly towards Xu Li in a daze.

Putting down the packed food, Xu Li first satisfied Zhulan's wish after getting up.

...

Xu Li spent the next four or three days in the warmth and tenderness of Zhulan.

At night, after holding on for two nights, Xu Li's fighting power became weaker and weaker... On the contrary, Zhu Lan's fighting power became stronger and stronger.

Xu Li's great victory on the first day could only last for two days. He was completely surrounded by Zhu Lan, which had stronger sustained combat capabilities. He was defeated and exhausted.

And Xu Li was tired from the whole day.

In the morning, I was woken up by Zhulan with a confused look on my face, and then we watched Xiaozhao and Xiaoguang's doubles match together.

It really feels like ascending to heaven.

And today is the final of the doubles competition.

Hikaru and Teru advanced to the finals without any surprise, and their opponents were Shinji and Satoshi.

In the past few days, Shinji sent out Flame Monkey without any surprise and performed the following inappropriate operations.

This includes but is not limited to having Blaze use Blaze Wheel to attack together with Ash's Squirtle, and giving up command when Blaze faces an enemy attack, allowing Ash to command the two Pokémon alone.

After the semi-finals, the battle took place next to the woods at the stadium.

then.

Shinji releases the Flame Monkey.

"You can go wherever you want."

"Whether I go find that Infernape's trainer or return to the wild, I'm going to capture a new Fire Pokémon..."

After saying that, Shinji left without looking back.

Only the little flame monkey was left standing there, looking lost and desperate, at a loss.

And Xiaozhi caught up.

"Little Flame Monkey, come with us... Let's grow stronger together..."

"spread…?"

The little Infernape stared blankly at Xiaozhi's clear eyes and the hand he extended...

"Spread~"

Slowly put your hand on it.

...

And in the grass not far away.

"Woo woo woo~ This is a good place for the little flame monkey~"

"The little Infernape, who originally had a hard life, is the perfect fit for our Team Rocket..."

"Magic~Magic~"

"It seems like we want Flame to be our companion~ Meow~"

"But... why did we end up like this..."

"I'm not sure either~ meow~"

The two Team Rockets and a Meowth turned their heads at the same time and looked at Xu Li and Gardevoir who had caught them.

At this time, the bodies of the three members of Team Rocket were completely controlled by Gardevoir's super power and they could not move at all. If they had not asked to see the result of Flame Monkey, they might have already felt "very disgusted".

Xu Li smiled and said, "Well, I have done what you asked me to do... Please..."

"Woo~"

A blue light flashed in Gardevoir's eyes, and in just three seconds, the three members of Team Rocket, who were originally on the ground, and their Pokémon Moninny, Desert Nya, and Fanged Cage were already in the sky.

And getting farther and farther away, faintly coming...

"What a disgusting feeling~!"

……

That's what happened after the semifinals.

And now, as the host finished his introduction, the doubles tournament finals began.

Xiaozhao and Xiaoguang slowly walked onto the battlefield, while the opponent was the combination of Xiaozhi and Shinji, who had no cooperation but relied on their hard power to defeat their opponents.

The little Flame Monkey brought by Satoshi looked at Shinji timidly.

But Xiaozhi's caring words came.

"Little Flame Monkey, this time, just watch my fight carefully!"

Unlike Shinji, who forced the little flame monkey to fight despite his injured body...

Xiaozhao's ears were filled with the words Xu Li said to her before she went on stage.
