The Rockets' eldest daughter's road to the league championship

After finding the Moon Stone, it was almost dark. Daigo took Qingyi and Shinji to a cave where he was staying temporarily and let them sleep there at night.

After dark, the three of them lit a fire, sat around it and ate a simple dinner. Daigo left his Metagross to keep watch, and then went to bed early.

Qingyi climbed a steep hill for an hour today. Although the power of Changpan relieved the fatigue, she was still very tired afterwards. She didn't mind the uneven ground anymore and almost fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

……

The next morning, it was another beautiful and refreshing day. Qingyi and Shinji said goodbye to Daigo and planned to set off for Cerulean City to challenge the Cerulean Gym.

Before leaving, Qingyi was pulled aside by Daigo mysteriously, "Yiyi, Daigo wants to ask you a question quietly. How is your sister...? Has she mentioned me to you?"

After hearing what Daigo said, Qingyi looked at him strangely and asked in confusion: "Brother Daigo, weren't you with my sister the day I left? That's why my sister didn't even come to see me off!"

The deeper meaning of Qingyi's words is: You've pestered my sister so much that she has no time to see me off, and yet you still come to ask how my sister is doing. Are you sure you're not trying to show off to me that you and my sister have a close relationship?

When this matter was mentioned, Daigo felt embarrassed. When he saw Qingyi looking at him with resentful eyes, he felt even more angry. He was too embarrassed to ask any more questions. After all, he was the one who occupied someone else's sister's time.

But she had to ask! Who knew that day when Zhulan found out that she hadn't been able to see her sister off, she thought it was all his fault, so she drove him and his Pokémon out of Shenhe Town without even listening to his explanation.

He was so sad that he didn't even have the tears to cry. He didn't even have a chance to explain. He wanted to go into Shenhe Town again, but was afraid that Zhulan would get even angrier. After careful consideration, he decided to come to Yuejian Mountain to see if he could meet Qingyi who was traveling in Kanto and ask her about Zhulan's news.

"Well...the day you left, your sister kicked me out for disturbing her training!" Daigo touched his nose and said embarrassedly.

Qingyi understood and uttered "oh" with a long ending. The teasing look in her eyes made Daigo want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"My sister is making final preparations to challenge for the championship. She is very busy with training every day and probably doesn't have the energy and time to deal with other things."

Qingyi said with a serious look on her face, patting Daigo's shoulder earnestly, "Brother Daigo, please don't bother me!"

Seeing that Daigo wanted to refute, she then changed the subject and did not give Daigo a chance to speak, and promised solemnly: "But don't worry, brother Daigo, I will help you put in a good word with my sister!"

Daigo originally wanted Qingyi to help him, and after hearing what Qingyi said, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Anyway, he was going to Shenhe Town now, and Zhulan would not see him. Instead of jumping on the edge of Zhulan's anger, it was better to let Qingyi speak for herself.

After all, Zhulan has always loved her younger sister, so she should listen to her.

Having put his mind at ease, Daigo finally decided to let Qingyi go.

So Qingyi waved goodbye to Daigo, and then walked down Mount Tsukimi with Shinji.

On the way down the mountain, Shinji casually asked, "Yiyi, what did Brother Daigo say to you just now? Why are you so mysterious?"

"Nothing much. Brother Daigo just asked me about my sister." Qingyi said vaguely.

She felt that being kicked out by her sister was an embarrassing thing for Brother Daigo. Since it was an embarrassing thing, it would be better if fewer people knew about it. She still had to protect Brother Daigo's face.

"Oh!" Shinji responded softly. Knowing that she didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions.

However, he also had his own guess in his mind that the things that Brother Dawu could ask Qingyi were nothing more than about Sister Zhulan. Over the years, everyone has seen how attentive he has been to Sister Zhulan. Now everyone in Shenhe Town knows that the talented girl Zhulan has a handsome suitor.

Thinking of this, Shinji suddenly remembered the "Brother Xiaomao" that Qingyi had mentioned before. He was busy challenging the gym and then rushed to Tsukimiyama to find the Moon Stone, so he forgot about this matter. However, it is not too late to ask now.

So, Shinji pretended to be calm and asked as if he was just chatting, "Yiyi, who is the Xiaomao brother you mentioned earlier?"

Don't be fooled by his calm and nonchalant appearance, as if he was just asking casually, he was actually quite nervous.

Qingyi was confused. Why was he asking this for no reason?

But she still answered: "Ah, you mean Brother Xiaomao, he is grandpa's grandson. When I was six years old, I came to Kanto to participate in the summer camp held by grandpa. I met Brother Xiaomao and Xiaozhi, and a shy girl."

As she was talking, Qingyi suddenly sighed, "However, time flies. Brother Xiaomao and I haven't seen each other for four years. I wonder how Brother Xiaomao has become?"

Forget it, don't think about it. Anyway, they are all traveling in the Kanto region now, and they will all attend the Quartz Conference. They will meet one day, and it won't be too late for them to reminisce then.

After hearing this, Shinji breathed a sigh of relief and the nervous feeling disappeared.

It turned out that Qingyi was the brother he had known before he met himself, and they hadn't seen each other for four years. Their relationship should not be very close, but he still couldn't let his guard down.

After all, they knew each other at the same time, and I never saw her call Xiaozhi brother, which shows that Qingyi has a good impression of Xiaomao. And just considering his identity as Professor Oak's grandson, he has a great advantage.

Although Shinji himself didn't know why he couldn't let his guard down against Xiao Mao, he had a feeling that Xiao Mao was definitely his archenemy. No matter what, he couldn't let his guard down against him!

After Qingyi finished her sigh, she saw that Shinji hadn't said anything, so she turned around and looked at him in confusion and asked, "Brother Shinji, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to compete with Brother Xiaomao?"

Bah, who wants to compete with him!

Shinji cursed in his heart, and then acted coy for a moment. He said in a nonchalant manner, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered and asked casually. I didn't expect that he is the grandson of Professor Oak. If there is a chance, it would be nice to fight him."

Qingyi smiled, revealing two small canine teeth, "Brother Shinji, Brother Xiaomao is also traveling in the Kanto region. It's not easy to fight him. We will meet each other eventually."
