There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

As it was getting dark, Fuzi did not take them for a stroll in the night, but walked to a car and knocked on the door.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to have some rest."

As a former fighting champion, she has a pair of sharp eyes that can always observe the status of her opponents, and she noticed the fatigue in the eyes of the three people.

"This is a variety of filming locations specially prepared for actors and directors. Although there are also places like hotels and pubs, they are completely uninhabitable."

As she explained, she reached into her trouser pocket for something.

Suddenly, Fuzi's expression changed. She looked panicked and rummaged through all her pockets.

"Strange - where are the keys? I remember I had them with me..."

Kitazawa Reisuke and Fujino Sakura were not surprised by this. They raised their eyebrows and looked at the embarrassed boy in front of them with familiarity.

Shuoya Ye sighed softly and spread his hands flat in the shadow of the car body.

After a while, a chubby little hand in deep purple stretched out from the shadows tremblingly and dropped a brightly colored key into the boy's hand.

"Ms. Nadeshiko." Sakuya Ye called out to the woman who had begun to look around at the ground, and raised his hand helplessly, "I'm sorry... Gengar is a little naughty."

“Ah—ohhhh!”

Nadeshiko scratched the back of her head generously and said with a smile, "It's okay! I thought I accidentally lost my keys again."

"I lost three car keys in one month. My coach will definitely scold me to death."

She gently patted her pounding heart and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad. Maybe I dropped it on the ground accidentally and Geng Gui helped me pick it up."

However, the three people who were already familiar with Gengar's character did not believe Fuzi's seemingly reasonable guess.

Having gotten the car keys back, Nadeshiko opened the door and waved to the three people.

"boarding!"

----

After all three of them got in the car, Nadeshiko held the steering wheel and said to Sakutani Ye who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Are you carsick?"

"No."

"Fortunately."

"Do not worry!"

The three replies made Nadeshiko nod in relief and joked, "Actually, it's okay to get carsick. This stretch of road isn't too long. We can get back before dark if we stop and go."

Shuoya Ye smiled and talked to Nadeshiko, so as not to make the atmosphere too cold.

Kitazawa Lingyou sat in the back seat, pursed his lips as he listened to the two people talking happily, and took out his mobile phone in annoyance to flip back and forth on the pitiful icons on the desktop.

When Sakutani Ye was talking about their first meeting - some things on the St. Ann, Fujino Sakura blinked quickly and joined the conversation.

"Women's Fighting Tournament Champion!"

Fujino Sakura leaned on the backrest of the front seat, her eyes sparkling as she said, "No wonder you look familiar to me! I must have seen your matches!"

Nadeshiko was surprised, "Oh, really?"

"Yeah!" Fujino Sakura waved her arms excitedly, as if imitating some fighting moves, "Elbow strike...front jab...knee strike!"

She raised her right hand and shouted excitedly "Win!"

This soft fighting move made Fuzi laugh out loud.

Just as she was about to tease the cute girl, she suddenly thought of something and her expression became slightly unnatural.

"Your moves are pretty good, and you show your momentum." Nadeshiko's five fingers gripping the steering wheel gradually increased in strength, and she continued, "Why don't you ask the boy next to you what he thinks? I remember he seems to be quite good at fighting."

Kitazawa Reiyu, who had never intervened in the conversation, frowned imperceptibly.

How did it get to him?

"Lingyou does have some knowledge about fighting, but he won't show off his knowledge in front of Ms. Nadeshiko."

Seeing that Kitazawa Reiyuu had no intention of replying, Sakutani Ye turned around and explained.

Then he sighed, "What a pity! Watching Sakura's moves has made me excited. If I wasn't sitting in the passenger seat and worried about disturbing Miss Nadeshiko's driving, I would have shown you a few sets of punches."

He continued half-jokingly, "When the time comes, I'll have to ask the people present to help me with my moves."

"A fighting championship champion, a fanatical fan since childhood, and..."

Shuo Guye paused, "Lingyou, who was also my coach."

"The coaching team is so impressive!"

Fujino Sakura smiled and pointed two fingers at her eyes, then pointed at the boy, "You praise me so highly, so I have to keep a close eye on you!"

Ms. Nadeshiko also joked and kept responding.

The atmosphere in the car returned to being relaxed and cheerful again.

Only Kitazawa Reisuke's eyes were fixed intently on the boy's fair earlobes revealed under his short silver-gray hair, and he nodded solemnly.

Shuoya Ye, who saw this scene through the rearview mirror, was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and nodded.

The two completed the contract with their eyes intersecting, unnoticed by others.

----

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill outside, Fuzi took them back to their long-term rental home.

Surprisingly, given Nadeshiko's personality, her home would be a bit messy, if not uninhabitable.

But at this moment, the few people who stepped into the door looked at the clean and tidy house with surprise.

Of course, simply being clean would not cause such a strong reaction.

mainly...

Fujino Sakura reached out and wiped the corner of the entrance, but there was not even a trace of dust!

She still remembered that when she was at home, her mother would always complain about the corners that were difficult to clean, but she could do nothing about it.

Miss Nadeshiko...is she such a clean person?

Shuo Gu Ye looked at the wooden floor that was reflective and looked like it was coated with oil, and he didn't dare to step on it for a long time.

I can only sigh in my heart that although Miss Fuko looks carefree and unconcerned, she actually has a delicate heart.

While the two were still tiptoeing, not knowing what to do, only Kitazawa Lingyou noticed the several pairs of men's leather shoes in the shoe cabinet.

His gaze shifted to the woman who was carelessly kicking her shoes everywhere and leaving her belongings scattered around.

He doubted very much that she had done all this on her own.

----

Led by Fuzi, several people sat at a table, and she ran to the refrigerator to cut some fruits and prepared some hot tea for the guests.

As a fighting champion and director, she is naturally interested in thrilling adventure stories.

So he waited with great interest for the three people to tell him some stories about their journey.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

At Fujino Sakura's exaggerated description, Nadeshiko laughed so hard that she fell backwards, with a few tears in the corners of her eyes.

"The cold and arrogant Green Ivy Snake, the cute and greedy Ditto, the battle-loving Psyduck..."

"...Genger who suffers from kleptomania and Ralts who likes close combat?!"

As the trainer of this group of strange Pokémon, Sakuya Ye smiled and didn't say much.

Soon, Nadeshiko also stopped and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"Okay, okay. I probably can't do anything about the other Pokémon. But Ralts can help you."

"Eh——!" Fujino Sakura exclaimed in surprise, "Ms. Nadeshiko, are you still a trainer?"

"Yes."

Nadeshiko stood up and pulled out a Pokémon Pokedex from a nearby coat pocket for everyone to see.

But the style seems to be different from those held by Shuo Gu Ye and others.

"Fighting champion, director, trainer..." Shuoya Ye couldn't help but admire, "How many other identities do you have?"

“I prefer to experience life.”

Nadeshiko sat back down with a smile, raised her index finger and said, "Different professions bring completely different perspectives on life. This is a new experience for me."

She raised her eyes proudly and said, "Although it's a little strange, this is my job!"

"Very impressive." Fujino Sakura nodded and clapped involuntarily.

As someone who was asked by her parents to practice various musical instruments since childhood, Fujino Sakura naturally understands the difficulty of switching from one skill to another.

Not to mention that she was only expanding her abilities within the same scope of [Music].

The three skills that Ms. Fuzi has currently displayed are completely unrelated.

Each of them achieved outstanding results.

How much effort does it take to achieve this on a daily basis?

Shuo Gu Ye suddenly stood up in respect and couldn't wait to speak.

"Ms. Nadeshiko, you said you could help Lalulas..."

"Well, of course."

Under Sakuya Ye's expectant gaze, Nadeshiko stood up and took a deep breath.

Then he threw a punch forward with great force, and the sharp wind from the punch seemed to blow on Shuo Gu Ye's face.

"Let me teach it some more fighting skills, so that it can fight against the opponent with physical skills."

Fujino Sakura blinked and frowned slightly.

"Is this the method?" She pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "But if we can make Lalulas give up this idea, it will definitely be better than supporting it to walk on an unsuitable path, right?"

"Why do you think so?!"

Nadeshiko's lips parted slightly, looking extremely surprised.

"What's the right or wrong path? Since Lalulas is interested in this, we should support it and continue to move forward."

"But Ralts, including its evolution, are all pure Psychic-type Pokémon!"

Ever since she learned that Ralts was a Pokémon from the Hoenn region, Fujino Sakura took the initiative to do her homework and fully understood almost all the knowledge about Ralts.

After all, she is a trainer after all, and it is impossible for her not to feel exploration and curiosity when facing unfamiliar Pokémon.

"You're not going to use your natural superpowers, but are going to use your weaknesses in combat?"

Fujino Sakura vividly remembers the graceful Pokémon that popped up when she was searching for information related to Ralts.

【Gardevoir】

She could not imagine no matter how hard she tried, how Gardevoir, who was so elegant in her long dress, could beat down her opponent with one punch after another.

"Superpowers are an advantage, but fighting is a weakness...?"

Fuzi pondered for a moment, looking at the two people who showed no strange expression and fell into deep thought.

Only Kitazawa Lingyou seemed to remember something. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and swiped it quickly with his fingertips.

"Oh I see!"

Nadeshiko suddenly realized what was happening, and slapped the table with laughter.

"You are trainers from the Kanto region, so you have definitely never heard of..."

"[Aledo]."

Kitazawa Reiyu's deep voice echoed in Sakutani Ye's ears.

He quickly turned his head and saw the boy holding up a mobile phone. The screen showed a handsome Pokémon that was as elegant as Gardevoir.

"Yes, that's Aledo."

Nadeshiko looked at Kitazawa Reiyuu with surprise as he was explaining something to Sakutani Ye, and couldn't help but put another filter on him because of his vast knowledge.

"Excuse me for asking, but your Lalulas should be a male, right?"

Shuoya Ye thought about it and recalled the scene at Cool Music Company.

When Qingteng Snake took advantage of the gorgeous selection contest and used [Charm] to gain votes.

Among the confused Pokémon in the audience, there seemed to be a figure of Ralts waving his hands.

So he nodded and confirmed, "It's a boy."

"OK, that's no problem at all."

Nadeshiko continued, "You may not know much about it in the Kanto region, but the second evolution of Ralts, Aledo, has been discovered in the Sinnoh region not long ago."

Kitazawa Lingyou nodded in agreement and added, "For Ralts to evolve into Aledon, two conditions must be met."

"One, it must be male."

"Second, you must possess the Awakening Stone to evolve."

After saying this, he rubbed his temples in annoyance, as if he was distressed about forgetting such important knowledge.

"Awakening Stone?" asked Fujino Sakura, who had never heard of it before. "Is it the same as the Fire Stone and the Leaf Stone?"

“Not much, actually.”

Nadeshiko stood up and hurried to the bedroom.

Amid everyone's bewildered expressions, the sound of rummaging through drawers and boxes stood out particularly.

About three minutes later, Nadeshiko walked out with a smile on her face.

In her right hand lay a gem that was as green as an emerald and as gorgeous as someone's beautiful eyes.

"I just happen to have one. This is the Awakening Stone."
