September 21st, Tuesday, Mid-Autumn Festival.
Fallen leaves piled up on the two rows of sycamore trees on Miare Street.
Pedestrians walked past rows of white buildings, and the road extended all the way to the Prism Tower at the end.
"Tourists, please come this way. Take Miare's special 'Mount Goat Transport Service', and you'll go straight to the Prism Tower!"
On the brick-paved street, tourists held small flags in their hands and looked curious as they got on the goat mounts.
It was autumn, and the green plants on the back of the goat mounts were slightly yellow. They were munching on fruits as they moved slowly on the golden street.
Lu Ye wore a light yellow windbreaker and held a big bag of ingredients as he stared at the row of goat mounts that walked in an orderly manner.
"Boo?" Fairy Ibu held her arm with a ribbon and looked up with her blue eyes.
"I've been in Miare for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen this." Lu Ye smiled.
I remember that this is an industry under Rocket Logistics, and it's more affordable than the expensive Miare taxis.
"Boo …" Fairy Ibu did not move. She stared at the row of goat mounts that passed by in front of her.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but the pace of the goat mounts seemed to have sped up a little.
Lu Ye held the paper bag of ingredients and turned into the quiet and beautiful south side street.
He walked past the dazzling display windows and walked to the coffee shop at the corner of the street with umbrellas and white tables and chairs. The blackboard shelf listed today's' Store Manager's Recommendation '.
[Big Milk Jar Shake Juice Milk ✪, Six-tails Roasted Caramel Sundae ✪, Moon Rock Five Kernel Mooncake ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤]
"The last one is my favorite!" Lu Ye exclaimed.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so of course, he had to order Donghuang's specialty food.
Today, he was spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with Zhu Lan and Pokemon at the coffee shop, so Mr Lu woke up early to buy the freshest ingredients.
After admiring the moon at night, there would be a live broadcast segment to announce the news of the 'Road to the Champion' challenge.
Mr Lu had even thought of the entertainment lineup for the live broadcast.
[Tutu Dog Flying Water Shuriken, Weakness Insurance Sand Castle Master]
It might be difficult to beat the horse master.
Beating Akin's editing material was a piece of cake!
The wind chimes tinkled crisply.
Lu Ye walked into the shop. There were no customers. Sweet Dancer was chatting with Super Meow.
"Nifu?" Sweet Dancer held her face with her hands and opened her red eyes wide.
The store manager is having a party tonight?
Super Miao Meow nodded. Her eyes glowed blue as she used her telekinesis to control the teapot and refill Sweet Dancer's empty glass.
"Naofu ~" Sweet Dancer placed her hands flat like a primary school student and shook her legs.
That would be incredible ~
The butler was meticulous. He stood at the bar counter and suddenly coughed.
Sweet Dancer and Miaomiao turned around and saw the store manager standing at the door. They were shocked.
Zeng!
The two of them stood up and picked up the broom and tea tray that were placed at the side. Their small faces showed the seriousness of 'serious work'.
Lu Ye couldn't help laughing. "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there will be a party tonight."
Sweet Dancer and Miaomiao stopped in their tracks and looked at the store manager in confusion.
"I even specially made five kernel mooncakes … Cough, everyone can have one, even if you don't want it, you still have to have it!"
Sweet Dancer and Miaomiao looked at each other.
Chamberlain covered her mouth and smiled. Once again, she felt close to the store manager.
In the courtyard, autumn was getting stronger.
The World Tree was still covered in dense shade. Under its fluctuations, a few Resurrection Grass nearby swayed gently.
"Booyi ~" Fairy Ibu jumped to the swing next to the tree.
"Banji!" Banjiras squatted in the sandpit, raised the sand shovel high, and greeted Mr. Lu.
"Awoo …" Wind Speed Dog was lying on its side in the corridor. Its butt and big tail were facing him. It looked up, wagged its tail, and lay back down.
Lu Ye looked at the side of the tree.
A tunnel that was covered with sand stood out.
That was the path to the Country of Minerals … Every month, Little Diamond would bring diamonds to Mr. Lu to trade tree fruits.
After Deanna finished dealing with the country's affairs, she would also come to visit when she was free.
Lu Ye felt that it would be unreasonable for Daigo not to charge him a ticket when he came to visit such a spectacle.
This was exactly what it meant to threaten Anxi to order Dawu! (Wrong)
In the courtyard, the World Tree was surrounded by herb fields. In front of it was a rectangular battlefield, and behind it was a lawn decorated with flowers.
It was planted by Bamboo Orchid's Lolita. Taking care of flowers and plants was her hobby.
Geng Gui would occasionally push and cut Lothom, making a rumbling sound as he helped with the weeding.
Of course, Lolita would complain a lot about it.
On the lawn, they could occasionally find the disguised Rock Monster, the Sea Rabbit Monster, the hide-and-seek Pokebee, and the lazy Onion Rangers …
At this moment, there was a burst of lively laughter.
Lu Ye held a paper bag and stood under the clear autumn sky. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky above the house.
The Heart Water Droplet on Latias' neck shone in the sun. Its feathers were red and white, and its eyes were curved.
Looking at Latias' flight, it was different from the Giant Gold Monster that spat out flames. There was a light beauty to it.
Beside Latias, Melayeta was smiling as she floated along.
"Mimi ~" Picatini swallowed the macaron in one gulp and smiled happily.
Lu Ye unconsciously smiled and looked around, looking for the shadow of a certain Pokémon.
Behind the tree trunk, a long shadow stretched out, and white turbid fog rolled.
Drakley leaned against the tree trunk and crossed his arms. His blue eyes looked up at the autumn sky, as if he was thinking about something.
Melayeta's gentle singing sounded in his ears. Duckley curled his lips and closed his eyes.
It was a bell tower that towered into the clouds. The music calmed the anger and hatred. Girls from the countryside danced in the town. That smiling face changed into Alicia, and then suddenly, it changed into Lu Ye with braids …
Drakley opened his eyes suddenly, and sweat broke out on his back.
Damn it, I actually have nightmares!
The key turned, and the door lock jingled.
"I'm back —"
Lu Ye held a large paper bag with one hand, took off his shoes, and unbuttoned his trench coat.
"Chaji Dui Yi ~ Chaji Dui Yi!"
Pokopee trotted over with a 'piaji piaji' sound.
Zhu Lan sat cross-legged on the carpet, her blonde hair scattered on the ground. She held the controller and looked at the display close at hand.
"Pokeby said, 'Welcome back.'"
"You can even translate Elvish?"
"Of course ~" Zhu Lan's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Be careful of myopia," Lu Ye glanced at the screen and said casually.
"The trainers of Shenhe Town are never myopic."
Lu Ye walked to the kitchen. "Then your pair of thin-rimmed glasses …"
"That's to read books more clearly."
From the back, Zhu Lan's blonde hair was like a waterfall, with hair accessories on both sides. In front of her was a game box, and beside her was a pile of large books, white printer paper, and crumpled up waste manuscripts.
"Is this the research report Grandma mentioned?" Lu Ye looked at the waste manuscripts.
"Yes … I didn't know where to start, so I played games to find inspiration." Zhu Lan was a little troubled.
"At times like this, I usually flood the group chat to see what other stupid ideas the group members have," Lu Ye said with a smile.
"Speaking of which …"
Zhu Lan's eyes flashed, and she recalled the topic in the group chat. "Is today the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Lu Ye nodded. "It's a festival to reunite with my family, eat mooncakes, and admire the moon."
"Ah … I can't make it back to Shenhe Town," Zhu Lan said softly and looked up. "Then you …"
"I've already told the two elders that I'm safe," Lu Ye said. "As the saying goes, the bright moon shines above the sea, and we share this moment from afar."
Admiring the moon from a thousand miles away could also ease the longing for a distant place.
Zhu Lan stared at the serious Lu Ye. After a while, she smiled and said, "Do you want to give them a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Lu Ye's interest was piqued at the mention of this.
"Mooncakes are fine. I made lotus seed paste, red bean paste, egg yolks … especially the five-kernel mooncakes. No Mid-Autumn Festival is complete without them! "
Geng Gui looked troubled as he turned to the curious Pictini and waved his hand magnanimously.
"Kou Jie! (̄ ▽ ̄)/"
I tried the five-kernel flavor last year, so I'll let you try something new this year!
That's great, that's great ~
In the chat group.
Akin was complaining about profiteers.
"The mooncakes you sold to Little Silver are fake, right? They taste so bad."
"Nonsense," Xiao Lan retorted. "How can they be fake? I made them myself!"
Little Silver: "…"
Actually, they didn't taste that bad …
Sheba crossed her arms and recalled the holiday mooncake gift box she had bought online.
It tasted very good … but the best was still the Angry Mantou!
Sitting in the empty office with a thermos in his hand, Imperial Dragon Ferry said calmly, "It's another Mid-Autumn Festival by myself."
His subordinate, Azu, shuddered as he heard the implied meaning in his leader's words. He said loudly, "I'll go back to work tonight!"
Wu Song's eyes were warm. "So the Mid-Autumn Festival isn't a holiday at all?"
"It's called a rest day," Mr. Lu corrected him.
Besides, there was no Mid-Autumn Festival in Shen Ao.
There was, after all, Zhu Lan and Wu Song often had rest days.
At Deep Gray Dojo.
Xiao Gang was reliable and virtuous. He personally made mooncakes for his brothers and sisters, which led to a round of cheers.
In Really New Village, Red, Green, Xiao Huang and Dr. Ohki had a reunion.
In Wakaba Town, Gold, Silver, Crystal and Xiao Lan raised their glasses and drank.
In Cheng Hua City, Miceli, Daigo, Lu Bi and Safia, as well as the parents of both sides, had a large gathering.
In Miale City, Mr. Lu set about making dinner, while Zhu Lan and the Pokémon played together.
The chat group suddenly fell silent.
Beep, beep, beep. Messages flashed.
Kena murmured, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival alone again …"
…
In a coffee shop in Miale City.
The lights were bright, and the warm light made the dishes on the round table delicious and tempting.
The Pokémon in the room were noisy.
The messenger bird carried a large bag on its shoulder and handed over a gift to each Pokémon it saw.
These were all trinkets that the messenger bird used its salary to buy. Glass marbles, white vanilla … They weren't worth much, but it was very attentive.
When the Pokémon that received the gift smiled, the messenger bird would smile as well.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp ~" Pokeby walked up to the messenger bird.
"Chirp!" The messenger bird put down its bag and buried its head in the bag to search.
'You want a gift too? Let me look for it properly … '
"Chirp, chirp!" Pokeby lightly tapped the messenger bird.
The messenger bird raised its head.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp ~ (ノ ̄ ▽) ノ"
Pokeby smiled and handed over a large gift box with both hands.
'I don't want a gift. I'm here to give you a gift ~!'
The messenger bird was stunned.
It reached out with a trembling hand and took the gift box in disbelief. It opened the ribbon, and inside was a large bottle of cola with ribbons.
The messenger bird: "Woo … (̄ ﹏ ̄)"
'This is the best gift I've ever received!'
Sirona had a serious expression. She put her hand on her chin and looked back and forth.
"What's wrong?"
Sirona said with difficulty, "I'm thinking … Why do mooncakes have so many flavors …"
The table was filled with small plates of various colors. The mooncakes were exquisitely shaped and had a tempting luster.
Lu Ye chuckled and said, "I did it on purpose. You can choose whatever you want!"
Sirona smiled elegantly and looked at Lu Ye with her bright gray eyes. She reached out with her slender fingers and pinched Lu Ye's cheek.
"It hurts, it hurts."
"I didn't use any strength."
"Really? Sorry, I called you too early." Lu Ye was thick-skinned.
Sirona smiled helplessly and crossed her arms. After a long while, she finally made up her mind.
Looking at the various mooncakes in front of her, Zhu Lan's eyes seemed to be burning with flames!
Lu Ye said, "I see the 'soul'!"
"I've decided on you — red bean paste filling!" Sirona said with a chuckle.
She reached out and picked up the mooncake without hesitation.
"Hmm, red bean paste filling." Sirona took a bite of the red bean paste mooncake with both hands and smiled happily.
Lu Ye said, "… Actually, there are also mooncakes with ice cream filling."
Sirona said, "Where?!"
There was a dazzling array of dishes on the round table. It was more like a buffet.
The Pokémon were once again impressed by Mr. Lu's culinary skills.
"Five kernel mooncakes are delicious." Sirona held the crumbs of the mooncake and asked in confusion.
"Yes, Geng Gui doesn't like it. By the way, this is the five kernel mooncake from Xiao Lan's online store. You can try it." Lu Ye handed over the packaging.
Sirona took a small bite. Her eyes flashed and she handed it back. "It's delicious. I'll leave it for you."
Lu Ye said, "I won't fall for such a low-level trap!"
Sirona was speechless.
Lu Ye said, "… I'll eat it."
The night was getting darker, and the autumn night was cool.
Lu Ye and Zhu Lan walked hand in hand to the courtyard.
The moonlight was like water, and the dew shone on them.
He turned his head and looked at Zhu Lan beside him.
The moonlight gilded her face with a layer of silver. Her side profile was tall and exquisite, and the corners of her mouth were curled up.
The laughter of the little guys could be heard everywhere.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. He felt that she was familiar, but also peaceful.
…
Back in the room.
"Is there a live broadcast tonight?"
"Yes. Do you want to watch the battle or give guidance?"
"No problem ~"
Lu Ye sat in front of the gaming chair that he hadn't used in a long time. He moved his fingers and muttered,
"When was the last live broadcast? I think it was the last time … "
The title of the live broadcast room was:
"Entertainment Lineup! Mr. Lu's Road to Champion. "
Lu Ye clicked on the recording button and was slightly stunned.
The moment the live broadcast started, the popularity of the live broadcast room increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Someone sent a few big rockets right away!
"F * ck, are my eyes playing tricks on me?"
"Spread the word, the host is alive!"
"It doesn't matter if Mr. Lu broadcasts or not. The main thing is the cabbage, my cabbage …"
Without any sign of a replay, the number of viewers exceeded two million within ten minutes.
A large number of bullet screen comments and gifts flooded the screen. However, Mr. Lu didn't plan to show his face at all.
And this made the fans realize one thing — this episode was a serious teaching session!
"It's time to eat!"
"Good lord, if there's no more Mr. Lu videos to watch, I'm going to starve to death!"
"Let's go to the persecution of the players of Team Sunshine!"
Mr. Lu said, "I brought two entertainment lineups for this episode. The intensity can't be said to be very high, but in a cold, unambitious, and unbelieving environment, they can always perform differently."
"The weak Pokémon defeated the strong Pokémon with strong race points through tactics and command. This is the romance of Pokémon battles."
"Although they are often punished by the battle community … when fighting Pokémon, you have to smile!"
Mr. Lu smiled, opened the team editor, and added the two Pokémon into the team …
