There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"Here, here it is for you."

Before the three of them could take a closer look at this unique evolution stone, Nadeshiko placed it in front of them with a gentle smile.

She looked at Shuo Guye's surprised eyes and said with a smile, "Why? It's just a small stone. It's useless to me. Are you so surprised?"

Evolution Stone has always been synonymous with preciousness.

At least that's the case in the Kanto region.

Even the prices of the three most common stones on the market, namely Fire Stone, Water Stone and Thunder Stone, have been driven up to sky-high prices.

Can...

Shuo Gu Ye seemed to have unintentionally accepted the kindness of many people. All the evolution stones that he had never dared to imagine were already in his pocket without him realizing it.

The Fire Stone given by Takenō, the Water Stone given by Kona, and the Thunder Stone given by Professor Oak.

In addition, the Awakening Stone sent by Nadeshiko. Although the price of the Awakening Stone in Kanto is unknown, it is probably not lower than the Fire Stone.

Then the total price of these four evolution stones is an astronomical figure!

Fujino Sakura also looked through the glowing evolution stone and remembered the Leaf Stone that someone was about to give her.

Are all trainers so selfless?

Fujino Sakura doesn't know what other trainers are like, but from the time she decided to travel until now, all the trainers she met have left a deep impression on her.

Perhaps, even if the friendship between trainers has not reached a certain level, sometimes they are just strangers who have met each other only a few times.

But as long as they know that the other person is a Pokémon lover like themselves, they will help others without reservation, even if they may not get anything in return.

"Put it away."

Nadeshiko pushed the Awakening Stone forward, but her hand under the table reached out to the ignorant boy.

Until something lightly fell on his clothes, and Nadeshiko's winking eyes were almost a clear hint. Sakuya Ye blinked in confusion and put the small card that Nadeshiko gave him into his pocket.

Nadeshiko's expression became visibly pleased.

While the other two were still observing the Awakening Stone, she quietly leaned close to Shuo Guye's ear and slightly opened her red lips.

"If you feel embarrassed, remember to write down my phone number."

She pouted in a feigned anger, "You must have accidentally lost the business card I gave you before? I waited in front of my phone for a long time but didn't receive your letter. You can't throw it away again this time."

It would have been better if Fuzi didn't say anything, but as soon as Sakutani Ye mentioned the missing business card, she felt guilty towards her.

So he quickly agreed in a low voice and put the business card away carefully.

Nadeshiko nodded with satisfaction, quickly sat up straight, and pretended nothing had happened to explain to Fujino Sakura the origin of the Awakening Stone.

But neither she nor Sakutani Ye noticed that the moment Fuko pretended to move to the side unintentionally, a pair of dark eyes moved away from the Awakening Stone and stared at their every move.

When he saw the woman's soft, boneless hand fall on the boy's abdomen and then quickly withdraw, she approached him deliberately with a teasing look on her face and deliberately left the business card again.

Kitazawa Reiyu clenched and unclenched his fists under the table, and after a long while, he pursed his lips and leaned close to the ear of Sakutani Ye, who was nodding and listening to Nadeshiko's explanation.

"She's not the right one for you."

Kitazawa Lingyou recalled how women always took every opportunity to pretend to be intimate, and gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "It's just an evolution stone, don't be fooled by her..."

He wanted to say something else, but he saw the boy's eyes suddenly turned back, full of surprise and opposition.

So he swallowed the words he hadn't finished speaking and lowered his eyes. His slightly long hair covered his eyelashes, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

After a moment, Shuoya Ye's sleeve was slightly pulled.

"Seriously... a few evolution stones... I have plenty if you want them."

"Shh-"

Sakutani Ye noticed the gaze directed at him by Nadeshiko and shook his head slightly.

Kitazawa Reiyu, who was stopped again, placed his right hand weakly on his knee, and rubbed his nails back and forth on his pants.

In the silence, Fujino Sakura's repeated question attracted Nadeshiko's attention.

The slightly cold back of Kitazawa Lingyou's hand was also covered with a layer of warmth.

"Ms. Nadeshiko is a good person, Lingyou."

Shuoya Ye gently patted the back of his hand, "At least I can feel the sincerity and comfort from her behavior, which can't be faked."

Kitazawa Reiyu heard the young man speaking well of the woman, but no sound came out when he opened his mouth.

"but..."

Suddenly, Shuo Guye changed the subject and said, "Your concerns are reasonable. After all, we should always be on guard against others."

Kitazawa Reisuke's eyes suddenly brightened and he nodded in agreement.

That's what he meant!

"How about we put aside all our previous impressions of Miss Nadeshiko from now on, get along with her objectively, and understand what kind of person she is?"

After receiving a response from Kitazawa Reiyuu, Sakutani Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly.

It's really strange. Miss Fuko pays so much attention to Lingyou, but he doesn't seem to enjoy this attention. Instead, he feels quite disgusted.

To the point that Lingyou misunderstood Miss Fuzi and thought she was a bad person with bad intentions.

Well...

Shuoya Ye confirmed again that the business card in his chest pocket was still in its original place, and made a decision silently.

I'll send a message to Miss Nadeshiko later and ask her to control her overly enthusiastic gaze.

----

The next morning, the excited Fuzi woke them up, dragged the three sleepy people into the car and drove all the way.

Of course, after being reminded by Sakutani Ye last night, Nadeshiko has deliberately avoided looking at the boy who was taking a nap against the car window, but she would still be attracted to him unintentionally.

A few rays of sunlight shone through the car window onto the boy's face.

Kitazawa Lingyou leaned his head against the car window with his eyes closed, seeming to be enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

His hair was thick and black, swaying slightly as the car swayed. The sunlight cast mottled shadows on his face, making his already outstanding features appear more three-dimensional and vivid.

Nadeshiko carefully controlled her emotions and tried her best to focus on the road ahead.

"Ms. Nadeshiko, why are we out so early?"

Fujino Sakura, who was also too sleepy to open her eyes, was sitting in the passenger seat at the moment and asked dazedly, "Is there a job?"

"Ah! Ah, yes!"

Nadeshiko came back to her senses, shook her head to sober herself up, and explained, "It's like this, didn't I tell you before that I have a movie called "Spicy Hot" that I'm filming?"

"Did something happen on the set?" Fujino Sakura slapped her face, using the pain to get her sluggish brain working.

"That's about right." Nadeshiko continued, "In fact, there was also a trainer who broke in here before you came."

At this point, Fuzi couldn't help but recall the boy's superior appearance that day, which was enough to amaze the directors who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women at first sight.

"only..."

Nadeshiko's expression suddenly became strange, as if she had swallowed a bitter melon, and she said, "His attitude always gives people a feeling of arrogance and domineering. It didn't take long for him to drive away the other directors."

"My coach and I felt sorry for him. Not only was his mouth chapped from thirst, but his clothes were also tattered, so we kindly took him out for a meal and helped him change his clothes."

"In the end, it was just on the way, so I took him back to the set and planned to shoot a few more scenes before taking him away."

"Guess what?"

Sakuya Ye took out a coat from his backpack and covered the sleeping boy with it, lowering his voice and asking, "What happened?"

"Yeah, that's right." Nadeshiko smiled bitterly and sighed, "As soon as he entered the set, he started to comment on our filming equipment. He kept saying 'poor quality and inferior products', which almost caused a conflict between the cameraman and him."

"Hey, isn't his temper too bad?" Fujino Sakura frowned, "Doesn't he even have the most basic manners?"

“This is just the beginning.”

Nadeshiko tapped her fingers on the steering wheel as she continued.

"I finally found a chair and persuaded him to sit down, but not long after, he started arguing with his male partner again."

"It's unclear what the reason was, but when everyone noticed the commotion over there again, they were already fighting each other!"

"hiss--!"

Fujino Sakura took a deep breath and confirmed her judgment again, "He does have a very bad temper."

"At the end, the male supporting actor had some skin scraped off the corner of his eye. He refused to continue acting no matter what we said. He even asked us to pay him money! Mental damages, medical expenses, etc."

Speaking of the dilemma, Nadeshiko couldn't help but sigh again, "Losing money is a small matter, but it's not easy to find another male partner who suits my taste."

"But fortunately, the trainer is also a reasonable person. Knowing that we are very busy because of him, he took the initiative to offer to take the role of the male supporting role to help us complete the filming."

"Wait." Fujino Sakura stopped him and asked a question, "Doesn't he have a share of the compensation?"

“Uh—” Nadeshiko was stuck, and after a long while she hesitated and said, “Should, should there be one? After all, he was the one who did it.”

"Then why do you have to pay the money?" Fujino Sakura was puzzled and continued to ask, "So no matter from which angle, he can't escape responsibility?"

When Fushiko was reminded by Fujino Sakura, she also remembered her actions that day.

Originally the coach was holding her down to prevent her from walking around.

As a result, when the coach was distracted, she saw the trainer looking at her for help.

...and somehow, when she came to her senses, she had already walked to the opposite side of Miss Junsha.

Nadeshiko slapped her forehead in distress.

She still remembers the coach's ugly expression.

But fortunately, the trainer was still willing to help with the filming. It’s a blessing in disguise, right?

"Ms. Nadeshiko, don't you think something is wrong?"

After listening to the story for a long time, Shuo Gu Ye couldn't help but ask, "You didn't sign a contract with him according to the male supporting role contract, did you?"

"Y-yeah, what's the problem?"

Nadeshiko got flustered when she heard that, and quickly explained, "I can't let someone work for nothing, right? He will naturally be my actor after he appears on the screen. After this film is released, I will get the fame and he will get the salary, how...how great..."

Nadeshiko's tone became lower and lower, and her words became less and less confident.

She seemed to realize how stupid she was.

"But he chose to replace the male supporting actor and help you shoot in order to avoid being held accountable by you."

Shuo Guye smiled and shook his head. "And according to your description, he doesn't seem to be in a very good financial condition. He didn't prepare enough supplies for the trip, not even a change of clothes."

"So, can such a person pay the compensation?"

"N-No...I can't."

"So..." Shuoya Ye spread out his hands, revealing this cruel fact, "As long as he can complete the filming, no matter how good or bad the effect is, he will not only avoid the huge compensation that originally came from the director, but he can also use the salary you paid to pay another compensation to the original male supporting actor."

"And the only two victims in this farce are the male partner with facial injuries and you who took money out of your left pocket and put it into your right pocket."

Kitazawa Reiyuu woke up at some point, sneered and continued.

"You are still thanking him for his generosity? We need to find out who is the instigator of this series of troubles."

Nadeshiko's face turned red, and after a moment she stepped on the accelerator.

You dare to lie to me! You are dead!

The coach is right! Good-looking men all have dirty hearts! ! ! !
