Pokémon Heart Journey

Xiaozhi went back to the registration point, signed up for the Iron Rhino Riding Contest, and immediately returned to the Pokémon Center. He wanted to talk to Yulongyuan about this matter, but when he arrived at the room, he found that he was sleeping soundly, so he did not wake him up.

At this time, Saqi brought Serena to the Pokémon Center. In the previous conversation with Ash, Saqi knew that Ash would stay at the Pokémon Center at night.

Serena outside the door looked very nervous, hesitating whether to go in, with a handkerchief in her hand.

"What's wrong, Serena? We're at the door now. Don't say you're backing down again?" Mom said helplessly, with her hands on her hips.

"I'm not backing down, it's just... when I see Xiaozhi later, I, I, what should I say?" Serena said in embarrassment with her head down.

"Of course you should state your purpose directly. Girls should be able to throw straight balls. Everything else is just empty talk. Don't end up with more and more opponents. Then you will regret why you didn't act earlier."

"It's not that exaggerated to attack!"

"Don't worry about it. If you keep hesitating, Xiao Zhijun might leave. Let's go in!" Saki said as she pushed Serena into the door.

Serena had no choice but to go in. Although it was night, there were still many trainers in the hall. Looking around, she really couldn't see Xiaozhi. Did he go to rest?

But then, she immediately noticed a signature hat and walked towards that figure, and Xiaozhi also noticed the other party, so he stretched out his hand and waved, asking, "Why are you here Serena?"

"Actually, I came here specially to see you," Serena's cheeks flushed slightly and her hands kept playing with her hair.

"Come to me?" Xiaozhi scratched his head in confusion.

Hearing Xiaozhi's questioning words, Serena nodded hastily, and then said: "Actually, I'm here to return this to you."

As she said that, she handed the handkerchief in her hand to Xiaozhi.

When he saw the handkerchief, Xiaozhi remembered something. He then opened his eyes wide and looked at Serena. He tapped his palms and said, "I remember, Serena! You are the little girl at that time."

Serena was very happy to see that the other party remembered her so quickly, and said with some excitement: "Yes, I didn't expect that you still remember me, Xiaozhijun."

Xiaozhi nodded and said, "I will never forget my friends, but it's a pity that I haven't seen you since that summer camp. I didn't expect to see you here again this time."

Serena nodded and said, "I never had the chance to return this to you after that time. I didn't expect to meet it here."

Xiaozhi reached out to take the handkerchief and said with some emotion: "I never thought that you still kept this and carried it with you."

After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Serena fiddled with her fingers a little embarrassedly and said, "Because I thought that if we meet again one day, I would return this to you in person and thank you. I didn't expect that we would really meet."

After successfully opening the topic, the two began to chat and tell each other about their current situations.

When Serena heard about Xiaozhi's friend named Sundae, alarm bells immediately rang in her heart. She didn't expect that her mother's words really came true. Although there seemed to be only this one competitor at present, the relationship between the two was obviously deeper than hers.

Fortunately, from what Xiaozhi said, the other party is not with her now, and their relationship is just friends. At least that's what Xiaozhi thinks, otherwise Serena doesn't know what to do.

It seems that we must act quickly!

Then she raised her head and asked Xiaozhi: "I heard from mom that Xiaozhi seems to be participating in this Armored Rhino Riding Competition."

Hearing the other party's question, Xiaozhi admitted it generously and said, "Yes, it seems to be very interesting, so I thought about participating."

"Hehe, Xiao Zhijun, this is your first time participating in a riding competition, right?" Serena said with a sly look in her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm worried about that too!"

"Riding competition is a very complicated thing. A newbie like Xiaozhi must need someone to guide him, right?" Serena asked with a smile.

"Well, indeed!"

"That's right, my mother is a very good rider, and as her daughter, I am also very good. But it's a pity that I won't take part in the competition, so..." Having said that, Serena glanced at Xiaozhi's reaction.

Xiaozhi suddenly realized and said, "Oh~ Then I'll go find Miss Saki to teach me!"

"Huh~" Serena fell to the ground instantly. She said angrily, "My mother has to participate in a competition. How can she have time to teach you? Why don't you come to me to teach you...?" At the end, Serena's shy voice became smaller and smaller.

Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well, thank you for your help, Serena!"

The two of them made a pact, and it wasn't until the sky began to darken that Ash watched Serena leave the Pokémon Center.

"Then, see you tomorrow, Serena!"

"Well, goodbye, Xiaozhi-kun. Don't be late, otherwise teacher Serena will be angry." Serena said teasingly.

"Yes, Teacher Serena!" Xiaozhi responded with a smile.

Instead, Serena blushed at such a smile. On the way back to the hotel, Serena's face was full of joy and she even skipped as she walked.

"Teacher Serena, you look so happy!" Suddenly, Sachi's voice came from the bushes by the roadside.

"Hey! Mom?" Selina asked in panic, "When did you start eavesdropping?"

"I probably started eavesdropping from 'Actually, I'm here to return this to you'!"

"That's been there from the beginning, hasn't it?"

"Think positively. After listening to what Xiaozhi said, mom can see that Xiaozhi is a good kid! On the contrary, Serena, how are you? What mom said was right, right? The girl named Sundae that Xiaozhi mentioned is obviously interested in him. You better hold on tight, otherwise your beloved will definitely be snatched away."

"Mom, please stop saying things that will embarrass me!"

Xiaozhi went straight back to the dormitory, only to find that Yu Longyuan was still sleeping, which made him feel a little worried. Fortunately, after asking Miss Joy, he found out that the other party had actually gotten up to eat, but the two of them just happened to miss each other.
