July 6th, Tuesday, early morning.
A flight flew across the night sky, flashing red lights intermittently.
The cabin was luxurious with only four passengers. It was spacious and could accommodate all the Pokémon.
Xiaozhi had adjusted the back of his chair and was sleeping soundly on the soft "bed" with Pikachu in his arms.
Alice had also fallen asleep. She hugged Fang and dreamt of something.
"Master Shaka … Dragon's Messenger …"
"Awoo …" The Wind Speed Dog was lying on the ground, wagging his tail gently. He was sleeping soundly.
Lu Ye dimmed the lights at the top and read the Mythological Collection under the soft warm light. He opened the music score in the middle of the book.
"Can't sleep?" Zhu Lan asked.
Lu Ye looked to the side.
Her blonde hair fell down, covering her delicate white cheeks. Her bright gray eyes were pure and beautiful.
"I'll sleep now." Lu Ye closed the book and turned off the lights.
It was as dark as the eternal night. The airflow outside the window hummed and the plane shook slightly.
Lu Ye heard the rustling sound beside him. She leaned over and kissed him lightly. Her lips were moist and sweet. Her blonde hair brushed past his cheeks. Lu Ye looked up and met Sirona's eyes.
There was silence for about three seconds.
"Good night." Zhu Lan smiled. Her breath was hot and moist. She immediately sat back down.
The sound gradually disappeared in the darkness.
Lu Ye touched his lips. He was sleepy. As he stretched, he spoke to the shadow with Super Claw.
"Good night, Dakai."
"… Thank you. I'm full," came a faint reply.
Lu Ye smiled and closed his eyes. His shoulder suddenly sank, as if he had once carried the weight of an Ibu.
He turned to look at his shoulder. It was a small sprite. Its eyes were closed, and its small, musical hands were resting on his shoulder. Its head was resting on his arm, and it was breathing softly.
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
[Ding! Meroita: Melody Pokémon. It can control the emotions of humans or Pokémon through singing. This ability is thought to be especially developed for self-protection against external enemies.]
Since Lothom's Illustration Handbook was sleeping, the fruit stall went online again.
Lu Ye: "… The strange sense of existence has increased."
Lu Ye recalled last night's performance. That should have been thanks to Merietta's help.
But why would Meroita appear here? She snuck onto the plane and even slept on my shoulder so familiarly …
Lu Ye's mood was complicated. He did not wake Meroeta up, but looked at Xiaozhi, who was fast asleep.
The Divine Beast Attraction Physique of a newcomer really wasn't deceiving me.
Fortunately, it was a Merietta this time. Next time, if Hupa sneaked in, wouldn't the danger be greatly increased?!
"By the way, I wanted to remind you this afternoon that this little guy has been following you."
Dakraii suddenly realized and slapped his forehead. "I was so focused on the Oratheon that I forgot about it!"
"You're an incompetent bodyguard," Lu Ye said. "I'll deduct a can of Energy Cube from you."
Dakrai: "?"
So you didn't give me a can, so I have to give you another one?
Considering that he was indeed careless this time, Dakraii looked forward to an encounter with a Legendary Pokémon.
By then, it wouldn't be a unit of measurement for 'can' but a 'car' …
If he slept with Merietta on his shoulder for a night, he would probably have a stiff neck.
Speaking of which, the coffee shop just happened to lack a resident singer …
Lu Ye stared at Merietta, thinking about how to trick it into the coffee shop.
At this moment, Merietta rubbed its eyes, opened its sea-like eyes, and looked at Lu Ye.
Silence. Silence was tonight's Cambridge.
"Merietta!" Merietta trembled slightly and quickly floated into the air, turning invisible again.
Lu Ye touched his chin.
Teacher, I'm not a demon … Is it that scary?
"If you want to rest, you can sleep on the sofa over there. It's okay."
Lu Ye covered his mouth and yawned.
He whispered, "Good night, Merietta."
There was no response.
It was only when the cabin fell silent that Meroita quietly stared at the black-haired young man who was sleeping soundly. She placed her hand on her chest and whispered,
It whispered, "Merietta ~"
**
At sunrise.
"I can already see the beach!"
Xiaozhi leaned against the porthole and shouted.
"No, no, I want to see it too." Alice came over.
Sirona crossed her legs and sat by the window. She closed the book in her hand and smiled.
"Lianyi Town is a famous beach attraction. Before the opening ceremony of the World Championship, everyone can have a vacation together."
"Great!" Xiaozhi and Alice cheered in unison.
Merietta was nowhere to be seen, but the fluctuations indicated that it was still nearby.
Lu Ye temporarily put it to the back of his mind. He was also affected by the childishness of the two future champions. He smiled.
"Let's go. I'll treat you to an outdoor barbecue today."
"Yaya! (✪ ω ✪) "" Pickup ~ (̄) ̄) "
"Grrrr … (̄ ω ̄)"
Lu Ye added, "And roasted scallions."
"Gah! (́) ̄) σ "
It was summer. The blue waves of Lianyi Town rippled, and the sea shone brightly.
Everyone rode in the black car driven by Butler Jerome and arrived at Zhu Lan's villa in Lianyi Town.
They stood in front of the luxurious seaside villa with a garden.
Lu Ye and Geng Gui took off their sunglasses at the same time and pinned them to the upper pockets of their Aurora shirts. They looked up and sighed.
If it were to be renovated, it would cost a fortune …
As expected of Mr. Lu —
Every time he arrived at a new mansion, his first reaction was to consider the construction cost!
"Thank you for your hard work, Jerome." Sirona smiled.
"You're too kind. If you have any requests, feel free to contact me, Miss Sirona, Mr. Lu Ye. "
Butler Jerome pressed his hand to his chest. "Then, I'll take my leave."
When the solemn Jerome left, Xiaozhi and Alice immediately relaxed. Their laughter echoed in the villa.
Sirona invited everyone into the house for tea. There were only bags of desserts. They were all high-end goods such as Forest Lamb Soup, which were much worse than the ones made on the spot.
"Now is the time. The power of technology opens up the future!"
Lu Ye borrowed Citron's famous line and rolled up his sleeves.
"Lothom, activate the super cooking mode!"
"Beep beep … I don't understand, Loto ~ o (T.TO)"
That being said, Geng Gui had even brought an oven. Naturally, he had to show off the "legendary cooking utensils".
In less than half an hour, Lu Ye brought freshly baked macarons to the coffee table and brewed a pot of Miss Skirt's Flower Tea for afternoon tea.
"Koujie ~ (̄ ▽ ̄) ~ *" Geng Gui took on the role of waiter and skillfully brewed tea.
"Thank you, Geng Gui ~ You're so cute!" Alice smiled brightly.
"Koujie!" Geng Gui grinned.
Sirona rested her chin on one hand and looked at Alice with a smile.
The sun shone through the window and shone on her blonde hair. Her side profile was bright and gentle.
She glanced at Lu Ye, who took off his apron and was wiping his hands with a handkerchief.
Gradually, she seemed to have thought of something.
Sirona's snowy neck blushed. She picked up the flower tea gracefully and smiled.
"Ahh … Pikachu, this is delicious. Try this."
Xiaozhi puffed up his cheeks and handed the macarons to Pikachu.
"Pika ~" Pikachu tasted the macarons and called out happily. Its ears trembled slightly.
"You took all of them, Xiaozhi," Alice said loudly.
"Eh?" Xiaozhi looked at the empty plate and scratched his head. "I remember there was one left."
"Merlot ~"
Melietta tasted the macarons "invisibly". Her eyes were curved in happiness, and the corners of her mouth were raised in delight.
…
In the afternoon.
Lu Ye received the daily report from "Handsome".
"The Plasma Team hasn't taken action yet."
"Handsome" said in a deep voice.
"But there's an important piece of information … The Genetic Wedge kept by Mayor Shaka is said to have the effect of removing genetic chains."
"Handsome" continued to explain.
"That's a legend passed down from generation to generation in the Land of Dragons. The Genetic Wedge has the effect of combining two into one and splitting one into two. But it's just a legend. No one has verified it yet … "
This was easy to understand. It was similar to [Fusion] and [Fusion Removal].
Lu Ye muttered, "I understand. Mayor Shaka still doesn't agree to transfer the Genetic Wedge? "
"Handsome" sighed. "After all, it's too much to ask Club Master Shaka to transfer a precious item that has been guarded for generations just based on speculation."
Lu Ye nodded gently.
He had foreseen this.
Boss Sakaki and the trio set off for Shuanglong City precisely to deal with the risk.
"I'm on vacation," Lu Ye replied. "I'll pass by Shuanglong City on the way … Cough, I'll drop by to take a look then."
"Understood!" "Handsome" saluted and cut off the communication.
He looked at the itinerary. It would be three days before they set off for Longmu Town. They would pass by Shuanglong City Airport.
Lu Ye was in a strange mood.
It was really risky to travel with Xiaozhi during this period of time …
In the garden of the seaside villa.
Sirona was wearing a blue shirt and black wide-legged pants. She was playing with her Pokémon with a smile on her face.
The fairy's Ibu was swinging on the swing and humming a tune softly. "Booyi ~ ♪"
Sharquillas stared at his favorite sandpit. There was a lazy sea rabbit that occupied the sandpit.
Suffering from the lack of hands, Sharquillas held back his tears.
"Ooh, ooh … (? omega?)"
When I evolve, I'll definitely beat this guy up!
Xiaozhi was training the gangster crocodile with his bare hands. "Come on, use Swallow Return. I can handle it!"
A drop of cold sweat dripped down the gangster crocodile's forehead. He glanced at Xiaozhi and then at the Water Arrow Turtle that was also wearing sunglasses.
"Crack crack …" The gangster crocodile trembled.
In this yard … it felt like there weren't many normal Pokémon!
Lu Ye walked into the yard and happened to see Xiaozhi training the gangster crocodile, Swallow Return.
"As expected of a master of the flight element. Every Pokémon must have Swallow Return!" Lu Ye thought to himself.
This gangster crocodile would evolve into a gangster crocodile in the future. It would be Xiaozhi's trump card in the He Zhong area.
It also wore a pair of sunglasses … Like the turtle, it was very tasteful!
"Ka meh …" The Water Arrow Turtle pushed up his sunglasses and looked at the gangster crocodile for a while before looking away.
Hmm … I've already checked that it's not Soroya. I'll change to the next target.
Lu Ye's mouth twitched.
Because in the He Zhong area, Soroya was added to the list of targets … Hmm, very reasonable!
Buzz buzz —
The lights in the room suddenly flickered, and the electricity went out.
"Is there a power outage?" Sirona turned to look inside.
Lothom waved his hand and said, "Beep beep … It's not Lothom, it's Lotho."
"It's not you." Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "Why are you so nervous?"
"Beep beep … There's only one truth, Lotho."
Lothom turned around and pointed at Pikachu. "According to Detective Lothom's deduction, Pikachu's electric current interfered with the electrical appliances, Lotho ~"
"Pikachu?" Pikachu was shocked and took half a step back.
"Alright, tumble washing machine. Stop watching those mystery dramas. "
Lu Ye looked at his phone and said helplessly, "The Sprite Center announced that the power outage was caused by the damaged equipment at the power plant."
"Lotho?!" Lothom was shocked and lowered his head.
Lu Ye: "…"
Your setting isn't a washing machine at all, but the genius Kogoro!
"Do you want to go to the power plant to take a look?" Xiaozhi said excitedly. "Who knows, we might meet a Lightning Bird."
"How is that possible? It's so easy to meet a legendary Pokémon!" Alice said with her arms crossed.
"That's hard to say …" Lu Ye said softly.
This plot was vaguely familiar. It seemed to be an important incident where Alice subdued her partner, Dragonite.
Alice's Dragonite's personality was completely different from normal Dragonites. It was irritable and often looked ferocious, but it also had a gentle side.
Coincidentally, a motorcycle whizzed over. Miss Jun Sha arrived at the villa and asked Champion of Bamboo Orchid to solve the problem at the power plant.
"It's a very powerful Dragonite, and the town's security is not enough …"
Jun Sha bowed apologetically and said, "I'll thank you later. Please help, Champion of Bamboo Orchid. "
"There's no need to thank me …" Sirona smiled. "We'll go and take a look."
Jun Sha heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Mr. Lu beside her. As the idol of all Jun Sha, Jun Sha gathered her courage and said with a red face.
"I have a presumptuous request … It's a personal request."
"What's the matter?" Sirona blinked.
"Can I …" Jun Sha whispered to Sirona, "Can I have Mr. Lu's autograph?"
Sirona: "?"
In the end, Jun Sha still got the autograph.
After thanking him respectfully, Jun Sha drove off on the motorcycle.
Lu Ye looked into the distance and suddenly felt a chill beside him. Sirona smiled and said,
"You seem … to be very popular with Jun Sha."
"Nonsense." Lu Ye subconsciously said, "And Joey."
Sirona: "?"
Lu Ye realized that he had blurted it out and regretted it. His expression was complicated.
Oh no, I accidentally dug my own grave!
"Haha, let's go. Let's go to the power plant and team up to fight Lightning Birds." Lu Ye tried to change the topic.
Sirona raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Lu Ye indifferently.
"Please punish me."
Lu Ye said seriously,
"For example, I won't run away if you step on me with black stockings."
"It's a reward for you." Sirona looked ahead. Her snow-white neck was slightly red as she said softly.
"Actually, the Weng apron is not bad …"
Lu Ye realized that Alice and Xiao Zhi were here, as well as the innocent Merietta, so he coughed.
He coughed and said, "I mean, I'll wear the apron tonight and cook two dishes."
Sirona seemed to like seeing Lu Ye's uneasy look. She smiled and said to Alice,
"Let's go to the power plant together."
The power plant was inhabited by Alice's future Velociraptor.
It was hit by the three-headed dragon's freezing beam in order to protect the startled dove. It accidentally entered the power plant and caused a blackout in the town.
Lu Ye thought about the vague plot and plucked a leaf.
It's easy to accidentally injure a Velociraptor in battle … It's better to hypnotize it.
When they arrived at the power plant, the awakened Velociraptor had a ferocious expression. It flapped its wings angrily and roared,
"Roar!!!"
A strong gust of wind blew. Sirona put one hand on her waist. Her eyes were clear as she said softly,
"Miss Jun Sha, are you talking about this Velociraptor?"
Alice's eyes flickered as she tried to defend herself. "But, but that child …"
Before she finished speaking, the Velociraptor swooped down at Pikachu. Xiaozhi lowered the brim of his hat and grinned.
"You came at the right time, Pikachu —"
The melodious sound of a flute sounded. It was an ancient and ethereal melody.
Sirona and the others were stunned. They looked at Lu Ye, who was playing the flute. The Velociraptor also paused for a moment in disbelief.
A familiar wave came again, symbolizing art and romance.
The Ancient Song became smooth and rhythmic.
Merietta floated in the air and bowed to the Velociraptor with her hand on her chest.
Immediately, a bright white light bloomed on Merietta's body. Merietta seemed to have transformed from a singer to a passionate tap dancer. Her orange-red eyes burned with fighting spirit. She jumped in front of Lu Ye and reached out to the Velociraptor. "Merietta!"
Merietta — Dance Form!
This change shocked everyone present. Lu Ye revealed a trace of a smile.
This child is finally willing to meet everyone.
It was probably because her singing form was shy and shy, while her dance form was passionate and cheerful.
"I see."
Sirona touched her chin and said, "That inexplicable energy on the plane … So it's Merietta."
Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment before he took out the illustration handbook and scanned it.
Alice rushed in front of the Velociraptor, opened her arms, and blocked the Merietta.
She shouted, "Please, please stop. I believe that the Velociraptor is not a bad child! "
"Merietta?" The Merietta blinked.
The Velociraptor looked at Alice with a complicated expression and stopped attacking.
"Come with me to the Spirit Center for treatment." Alice stroked the Velociraptor's head. "Good child, you're fine now."
The Velociraptor looked disdainful. It glanced at the Land Shark with cold eyes and the grimacing Geng Gui before finally nodding reluctantly.
At sunset, Lu Ye and Sirona returned to the villa first.
The Merietta returned to its singing form and floated in the air.
"Merietta ~" The Merietta sat gently on Lu Ye's shoulder, its blue eyes carefully looking at Sirona.
"This child seems to be very close to you." Sirona smiled.
"The problem is that the Fantasy Treasure Dream has a lifespan of a thousand years …" Lu Ye looked sideways at the Merietta.
"It's impolite to mention a girl's age," Sirona reminded.
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
Although the Merietta did not have a gender, it was usually seen as a girl …
"Boo!"
Fairy Ibu glared at the Merietta on her shoulder. When Lu Ye looked over, she turned her head away in disdain.
"Boo! O (́ ^ `) o "
I'm not complaining!
"Merietta …" The Merietta sat on Lu Ye's shoulder, looking timid.
Lu Ye thought of the world-famous painting and couldn't help but laugh.
Mr Lu, if Fairy Ibu knows that I'm sitting on your shoulder, will it be angry?
Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Mr Lu ~
Shaking his head and dispelling the bad image in his mind, Lu Ye coughed lightly.
What bad intentions could the Merietta have?
Of course, he had to smooth Fairy Ibu's hair at night and consider the mood of the tsundere little guy.
I didn't expect that I would actually understand Chi Hong's Shura Arena between Xiao Huang and Xiao Xia in my Pokémon!
Lu Ye sighed.
His respect and sympathy for Chi Ye was even greater.
When Alice returned from the Sprite Center, she had already successfully subdued the Dragonite.
Alice had an innate connection with Dragon Sprites. In just a year, she had become the champion from the Hall Master. Talent and opportunities were indispensable.
Mr Lu wasn't jealous. Instead, he was a little gratified.
Looking at the future champion of the Group of Champions, and … uh … Champion Alora's growth, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Do you want to go with us?"
Lu Ye looked at the Merietta on his shoulder.
The Merietta had its own tribe and guardian. Just like the Dream of the World Tree, it was a Fantasy Treasure with real authority.
Lu Ye didn't know much about the Merietta's past … but if it was willing to go with him, Mr Lu would gladly accept.
Meroyeta showed a thoughtful expression and smiled.
"Merietta ~"
"We might encounter unexpected events," Lu Ye said casually.
"Merietta!" The Merietta looked confident. It pressed its hand to its chest and nodded elegantly.
