Chapter 69 Chapter 69

"Gift?"

Riolu was puzzled.

"what gift?"

Zhulan bent down and looked at Leolu carefully:
"Of course it's a gift for you... a gift that will be of great help to you!"

"Okay!"

"Don't hesitate!"

"Hurry up and call all your little friends out!"

Leolu checked again and again through Bird, and found that there was no malice towards Zhulan in his heart and emotional fluctuations, and then he clapped his hands towards the deep part of the flower bed behind him.

After a while, there was a rustling sound, and the flame chicken's head appeared in the flowers and plants.

Lying on his neck is Juan Er, who has undergone cruel tests and has been transformed into a super power Pokémon.

"What's wrong?"

The flame chicken looked at Riolu and the champion Zhulan in black and asked.

"Nothing……"

Riolu said:
"She... wants to give us some presents."

"Gift?!"

The Flame Chicken has not received even a single gift since he was born.

Unexpectedly, it was a human being who gave him a gift for the first time!
……

Although Xuefeng City is located in the far north of the Sinnoh region, it is extremely cold and snowy all year round.

But it also has the standard configuration in a normal big city:

Large shopping malls, pedestrian streets, Pokémon Center, various consumable stores...

Although the degree of population density is slightly less than other cities, you can still see pedestrians shopping in these places where people are most likely to gather.

"what……"

The flame chicken stared dumbfounded at this amazing shopping paradise created by humans...

It seems that even in this extremely cold place, there is no way to extinguish people's enthusiasm for shopping!
……

A group of people stopped at the entrance of a store that sold Pokémon costumes.

With Zhulan's nod of agreement, the Flame Chicken happily went into the store and picked out clothes to dress up...

"What exactly do you mean?"

Although the system and waveguide in his body told Riolu that the Zhulan in front of him was not malicious - at least so far...

But Riolu always felt uneasy.

First of all, Zhulan is a human being after all, and it will never be possible to stand on the same front with Pokémon without wavering.

Second, Zhulan is the champion of the Pokémon League after all. Her complicated background makes it impossible for Riolu to fully trust her.

Zhulan smiled softly:
"What can I mean?"

"I'm just helping you buy some clothes to wear..."

"You know, of course wild Pokémon in this world don't wear clothes."

"But after staying with the trainers for a long time, the Pokémon living in the city will have their trainers buy clothes for them - making everyone look like a family..."

Zhulan spread her hands and said:

"Although the vast majority of Pokémon trainers regard Pokémon as a powerful helper in battle, perhaps some people value the combat power of Pokémon more."

"But there are quite a few people who want to soothe their emotions and find a lively and happy elf for their boring life... These people really treat Pokémon as family..."

What Zhulan said was high-sounding.

But Riolu frowned.

He naturally understood what Zhulan meant.

After all, Riolu was a human not too long ago.

What is meant by "treating them as family and friends" is clearly just a nice way of saying "treating them as pets".

If I like you, I will dress you and give you good food; if I don't like you, I will throw off the chain and drive out the door, and there will be no more contact...

The reason why Riolu has an extreme distrust of humans.

Precisely because he was once human!
He understands quite clearly what human beings do.

"Purchasing clothing for you, speaking of it, is actually a means of protection."

"After all, in human cities, Pokémon wearing clothes means to a large extent that they have a trainer."

"Very few humans will do anything to Pokémon with trainers in the city."

"This can also provide some safety guarantees for your journey to a certain extent."

Perhaps he saw the distrust and disdain on Riolu's face.

Zhulan added with a wry smile.

This is still a reasonable reason.

Riolu nodded slightly.

"Is it just like this?"

"Two or three pieces of clothes, there is no way to buy us!"

Riolu doesn't believe that Zhulan, who is the champion of the Pokémon League, will release her kindness without any purpose.

Zhulan stood up and took two steps.

He sat on the bench outside the store, patted the seat next to him, and motioned for Riolu to sit over.

After Leolu approached, Zhulan spoke lightly, with a calm and dignified tone:

"I think you should have a greater degree of trust in me..."

"Trust me, amazing little ones, if I want to capture you..."

"You should have been in my Poké Ball when we first met."

As she said that, Zhulan gently opened her black coat, revealing a series of red, shrinking poke balls around her waist...

Riolu frowned.

Although she doesn't want to admit it, what Zhulan said is indeed the truth.

Even if Riolu, Flame Chicken, and the companion that they suddenly got now - a Pokémon with superpower attributes, Juan Er...

With the three of them alone, it is still a bit whimsical to want to fight against Zhulan, the champion of the Pokémon League.

"I'm really too weak!"

Riolu swore secretly in his heart.

Next, we must go all out to make ourselves stronger!

He raised his head and looked at the calm and confident Pokémon League champion Zhulan—at least become stronger than her!
Zhulan looked at Leolu's firm eyes, and the surging fighting spirit inside, that fighting spirit was almost as real as it was!
"Pfft"!
Zhulan actually laughed out loud.

She reached out and rubbed Riolu's head:

"You little guy, you really look like me when I was young!"

"Sometimes I really don't know if there is a human soul stuffed into your small body..."

Riolu was startled.

But the champion, Zhulan, seemed to be joking, and briefly mentioned it, and stopped discussing this topic.

At this time, the flame chicken also got a new look, and walked out of the Pokémon clothing store:

A beautiful, neat fiery red sportswear was worn on the flame chicken.

This is a tailor-made clothes for Flame Chicken.

It's just that in the Sinnoh area, there are almost no Pokémon like flame chickens.

Therefore, this dress has been in this store for a long time, and it has not been sold for a long time.

Finally, a customer came, and the clerk even offered discounts and promotions, and sold it to Flame Chicken at the price of jumping off a building to vomit blood—in fact, it was the champion Zhulan who paid.

"good……"

Looking at the flame chicken wearing new clothes, Riolu nodded.

At least judging from his dual eyes as a human and a Pokémon, the clothes neither affect the appearance nor delay the battle, it is indeed very good.

"Not bad right!"

The flame chicken also seemed quite excited.

"This is the only thing left!"

The curly ears lying on the flame chicken's back showed her head, and she also had a new dress at this time.

This kind of Pokémon is relatively common and popular.

Many families who want to keep pets at home probably choose this kind of ordinary, cheap Pokémon that has no desire to attack as their family pets.

So there are more products related to them.

The wide and fluffy clothes with curled ears were put on her body.

It almost wrapped her whole body in it, making her look extra warm and lovely.

The hat on the head will fall off from time to time to cover the face, and the curled ears have to stick out the ears to lift up the fallen hat.

"This curly-eared body seems a little weak..."

"Even if it's the smallest curly ear dress in our store, it's two cents too big for her. I'm really sorry..."

The clerk in the Pokémon clothing store apologized to the champion Zhulan.

Zhulan shook her head lightly, expressing that it was okay.

Then she looked down at Riolu.

"How about you go and choose two?"

Under the burning gazes of Flame Chicken and Curly Ears, Riolu shook his head and sighed, and finally walked into the Pokémon clothing store.
