Dream of Champion

Chapter 13 The Boy Running Around the Town

Xiao Nuo came to the puppet making shop with Ke Mu's photo.

After pushing open the door of the doll shop, Xiao Nuo was amazed by the scene in front of him. There were all kinds of dolls inside, not only in the shape of humans, but also in the shape of Pokémon. There are large and small ones, wooden ones, porcelain ones, and rubber ones, all of which look very well-made.

"Hi, please help me order a rubber doll." Xiao Nuo found the owner of the doll shop at the front bar.The boss was a young man wearing a leather cap and suspenders. After seeing Xiao Nuo, he was stunned for a moment.After all, children of Xiao Nuo's age would never appear here.

"May I ask, did you tell your family when you came here?" the boss asked.Almost all bosses do this, and they have to watch out for kids buying things without the permission of adults.

Some children without the permission of adults, after such a question, most of them are embarrassed to continue the conversation with the boss.If it can continue, then it is the children who have been allowed by the adults. At least, the children in Gumu Town are very honest.

"I've already told you, so can you help me make a doll?" Xiao Nuo said while taking out a 1000 yuan banknote and putting it on the table: "Please, this doll is really important. Just do what's in the picture."

"Okay." The boss nodded and agreed: "I need to trouble you to provide a photo."

Xiao Nuo took out the camera, found Ke Mu's photo, and handed it to the boss: "Here, it's the girl in the photo."

"Okay, it will take about a week to complete the doll, please be patient." The boss copied Ke Mu's photo into the computer and gave Xiao Nuo a receipt.

"Thank you." Xiao Nuo took the receipt.

"Is this girl someone you like?" Before leaving, the boss asked again.

"Yes." Xiao Nuo nodded.

"Well, then I'll see you next week." The boss didn't continue to ask.Looking at Xiao Nuo's leaving back, he couldn't help sighing.Perhaps, the girl in the photo is happy.he thought so.

The day of the Pokémon Marathon was exactly one week later. After the competition ended, Xiao Nuo could immediately get the doll and give it to Kemu.

The next day, Xiao Nuo came to the office where Mr. Suzumiya was located early in the morning, and found him sitting on a chair correcting homework.

"Mr. Suzumiya, I've decided. The Pokémon marathon will be on my shoulders, and I will definitely bring back No. 1!" Xiao Nuo put her hands on the desk and said vowedly .

Suzumiya-sensei stood up, put his hands on Xiao Nuo's shoulders, and encouraged him: "Come on, Teacher believes that you will definitely get No.1."

"I won't let you down!" Xiao Nuo clenched her fists.Afterwards, Xiao Nuo learned about the distance and rules of the Pokémon Marathon from Mr. Suzumiya, and began to formulate his own training plan.This morning, Xiao Nuo didn't pay much attention to the lectures. All he could think about was how to train himself better in the future, and how to go to the battle center and ask Leolu to cooperate with him.

After school at noon, it was rare for Xiao Nuo not to go home with Ke Mu. As soon as school was over, he trotted all the way to the Battle Center and found Shennian Court.

"Mr. Shennian, the next Pokémon Marathon needs to ask Leolu!" Xiao Nuo simply told Shennian about the Pokémon Marathon.

"Haha, Leolu should be very happy." Shennianting nodded and handed Leolu's elf ball to Xiao Nuo.Since the last battle between Xiao Nuo and Leicester, Riolu's Poké Ball has been kept by the God Nian Court.

Xiao Nuo took the poke ball, pressed the switch, and released Riolu.

"Leolu, would you like to participate in the Pokémon Marathon with me?" Xiao Nuo squatted down halfway, closing the distance between himself and Leolu.

"Leo!" Leolu jumped up happily, and stretched out his fist to Xiao Nuo.It seemed that it was very happy to cooperate with Xiao Nuo.

"Then, I'll leave it to you." Xiao Nuo also clenched his hands tightly, and lightly bumped fists with Riolu.One person, one Pokémon easily reached a consensus, and happily ran out of the battle center.

The distance of the Pokémon Marathon is probably to run around the main road around the town. Since the distance is relatively long, it will test the willpower of athletes and Pokémon.

"Then, Leolu, let's start!" Xiao Nuo made a training plan, training once at noon, once in the evening, and twice a day. Although it doesn't sound like much, it is absolutely necessary for children of this age. It's high-intensity training.

"Then, let's run, Riolu!"

"Leo!"

Stepping on the noon sun, one person and one Pokémon began to run.

Xiaonuo and Leolu just took advantage of the noon to run all over the town, and after running down once, each of them and their Pokémon were sweating profusely and looked exhausted.

After finishing the training, Xiao Nuo took Leolu to eat at sister Tansha's restaurant.

"Sister Tansha, please bring me an egg fried rice and a Pokémon food!" As soon as Xiao Nuo entered the restaurant, she couldn't wait to order a meal.

"Hey, Xiao Nuo, what are you doing here, and Leolu next to you is sweating profusely, did he go to work in the field?" Tan Sha wrote down Xiao Nuo's order , while joking.

"In order to participate in the Pokémon Marathon held by the school, I will start special training with Riolu. Today is the first day of special training." Xiao Nuo still looked so motivated. Looking around, he suddenly felt that Something was missing: "Hey, where is the little cat monster? Why didn't you see it?"

"It." Mentioning the little cat monster, a trace of loneliness flashed in Tan Sha's eyes: "The little cat monster has not been in a good mood recently, so he hasn't followed him."

"It turned out to be like this, that's a pity." Xiao Nuo said regretfully.

"By the way, are Xiaonuo and Riolu planning to win No.1 in the Pokémon Marathon?" Tan Sha changed the subject, smiling again.

"Of course!" Xiao Nuo looked at Riolu.

"Leo!" Leolu also looked at Xiao Nuo and nodded.

"Then, in order to support you, little brother Xiao Nuo, all meals are free this week! Including Leolu!" Tansha directly gave Xiao Nuo a big surprise: "As long as you don't eat to spoil your stomach, you can eat whatever you want!"

"Really, thank you sister Tansha!" Xiao Nuo was very happy, and Leo Lu also jumped up.After a while, Tan Sha personally delivered two meals to Xiao Nuo and Leo Lu, and each of them started to gobble up a Pokémon instantly.

This week, Xiao Nuo and Leolu followed the set training plan and ran lap after lap around the town.

The residents of the town would see a young man running non-stop with a Riolu almost every day, as if he didn't know how to get tired. After a week, Xiao Nuo's complexion was completely darker than before. But the level of running has also improved a lot.

On the day of the competition, almost most of the residents in the town came to the starting point of the runway on the west side of the town. Whether they were cheering for the athletes or watching the fun, this Pokémon Marathon was really lively. There were a total of [-] athletes. Except for some classes in the lower grades who chose to abstain, almost all the classes sent athletes.

With the referee's order, all the athletes and accompanying Pokémon started to run.Among them, there are Xiaonuo and Riolu.

"Come on, Xiao Nuo! Come on, Xiao Nuo!"

The students who belonged to Xiao Nuo's class shouted.

"Brother Xiaonuo, come on!"

"Xiao Nuo, I believe you can do it!"

Novice, Nuoka, and Limo also came to watch.

Xiaonuo, come on.Kemu recited silently in his heart.She can't shout loudly like everyone else. What she can do now is to stand beside him and silently cheer him on.

The competition started soon. Although there were many students participating in the competition, there were also many guys who were mixed with water. Many students just came to participate because of their good running performance. Some students, who were trained The number of times is only once or twice. It can be said that they are far behind Xiao Nuo.

In less than one-third of the journey, many students have already started to lose their strength and were forced to give up the game, even hurting their own Pokémon.The rest are students with a little level.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people, and there were less than ten students who were still persisting. At this moment, the distance left was less than 100 meters.

"Leolu, come on, it's the final sprint! Let's charge up with a flash of lightning!"

"Leo!"

Xiaonuo and Leolu quickened their pace, leaving the rest of the students far behind, and became the first combination to cross the finish line.

"Congratulations to Xiao Nuo and his Pokémon Riolu for winning No.1!"

Accompanied by the cheers, Xiao Nuo led Leo Lu onto the podium and received his own honor.

In the afternoon, after Xiao Nuo took back the customized doll to be given to Kemu from the doll making shop, she couldn't wait to come to Kemu's home.

"Kemu, I have a gift for you." Xiao Nuo handed Kemu a gift box that was wrapped so that the inside could not be seen at all.

"Thank you, Xiao Nuo." Ke Mu took the gift box: "Can I open it now?"

"Of course it's ok!" Xiao Nuo signaled Kemu to take it apart quickly.

The moment Kemu opened the gift box, she was stunned, and the doll made in her image appeared in front of her eyes.

But Mu only felt a sore nose, and the next second, her eyes were moist.She probably also understood why Xiao Nuo took photos of herself, why she ran to train at noon every day, why she participated in the marathon, and everything turned out to be for her own happiness.

"Do you like it, Kemu?"

"like."

Ke Mu plunged into Xiao Nuo's chest, hugged him tightly, and didn't let go for a long time.
　I've got something to do during the day today, so the update is a little late.
