Pokémon Heart Journey

"Lanling Island"? After listening to Xiaozhi's explanation, Shengdai asked in confusion.

"Yes! Lanling Island, I plan to go there to train for a while. My mother told me that there are very powerful Pokémon there, and my Pokémon and I can effectively improve our strength there."

"I didn't expect there was such a place. How did your mother know all this? Also, does this mean you don't plan to challenge the gym?"

"I heard from my mom that she and dad found this when they were traveling together. As for the gym..." Thinking of Brock's powerful Steelix, Xiaozhi couldn't help but clench his fists: "My current strength is not enough. I need to train well first, and then challenge the gym."

"Are gym leaders that strong?" Sundae was a little surprised to hear Xiaozhi say this. She knew Xiaozhi's strength and she had also conducted simulated battles with the Pokémon of various gym leaders on the academy's computer. But according to what Xiaozhi said, the strength of the gym leaders might be far beyond her imagination.

"Well, they are really strong. According to mom, they are the strongest ones under the King Champion. In normal gym battles, they don't show their true strength. Instead, they will let them win and send out suitable Pokémon to fight, and they won't use their main Pokémon."

"So that's how it is," Sundae suddenly realized after hearing Xiaozhi's explanation, "In that case, I want to go with you too."

"Hey! But Sundae, I might be staying there for a long time, and life on the island might be hard."

"Are you looking down on me?" Sundae gave Xiaozhi a sidelong look.

"Since I've decided to travel and make myself better and stronger, I'm certainly ready to endure hardships," Sundae patted his heaving chest and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"I see. Let's go together." Looking at Sundae's eyes, Xiaozhi also understood her determination. "Next, let's go buy a boat ticket. We need to go from here to Red Lotus Island first."

"Hey! Wait a minute," Xiaozhi was about to leave when Sundae stopped him.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I had originally wanted to go after I finished the gym today, but now it seems I'd better go take a look first. Here you go," Sundae took out a ticket from his bag and gave it to Xiaozhi.

"What is this?" Xiaozhi took it and asked puzzledly.

"This is the ticket for the St. Annus."

"The St. Ann?"

"Pickup?"

"Well, my parents and I were invited to attend a party on the St. Ann's. I heard that many celebrities will be there. I didn't plan to go because I had to go to school, but now I have to go. And this ship will pass by Honglian Island. Let's go together."

Seeing Sundae's unyielding look, what else could Xiaozhi do but accept it? It didn't conflict with his own purpose anyway.

……

"Uh, this is the St. Ann!"

"Pickup!"

Xiaozhi and Pikachu looked at the luxury cruise ship in front of them with shock, and said in their hearts: She is worthy of being the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

"What are you still standing there for? Come here."

"Ah? Oh, here it comes."

He boarded the cruise ship under many envious gazes, followed the waiter to his room, put his backpack aside, and lay down on the bed tiredly. Pikachu also lay down beside him. They had been sitting in the car for a long time, and then fighting and talking with Raito. Both Xiaozhi and Pikachu felt tired.

Sundae's room was right next to mine, and she should be resting now. I heard her say that there would be a party in a while, and I was asked to attend it. The thought of it was troublesome, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier without me noticing, and I fell asleep soon. When Xiaozhi and Pikachu fell asleep, the St. Anno also started its journey.

"bang bang bang"

An unknown amount of time had passed before there was a knock on the door. Xiaozhi took his hand away from Pikachu's head and got up drowsily. Pikachu also woke up and rubbed his sleepy eyes. At this time, there was another knock on the door.

"Are you awake, Xiaozhi?" asked the person outside the door.

When Xiaozhi heard the question outside, he immediately lost his sleepiness. It was Sundae's voice. Xiaozhi got up to open the door and responded, "I'm awake. Wait a minute, I'll open the door. Pikachu, get up quickly, Sundae is calling us." Before leaving, he called Pikachu who was still yawning beside him.

"Crack!"

The moment the door opened, Xiaozhi was stunned. The girl in front of him was wearing a purple dress, a pearl necklace around her neck, a pair of dark purple high heels with a bright gem on them. Xiaozhi had no doubt about the authenticity of the two gems. Her bright red lips were obviously painted with lipstick, her eyes were black and shiny, and her soft hair was still hanging straight down as usual.

"What do you think?" Sundae asked curiously.

"Hey! Very beautiful, Sundae." It was indeed very beautiful. Such a Sundae looked more noble and elegant than usual. If she was usually dressed like a well-educated noble lady, then now she was a dignified and virtuous princess. Of course, for Xiaozhi, apart from being beautiful, there was no other feeling.

However, when hearing Xiaozhi praising her beauty, Sundae was still very proud and didn't care about it. Or maybe it was a very remarkable thing to have Xiaozhi say that a person was very beautiful.

"Here you go," Sundae handed Xiaozhi a blue men's suit, "Put it on and come find me in the hall."

"Eh? Aren't you the only one invited to this party? I'll be back soon after getting something to eat, so there's no need to wear a dress, right?" Xiaozhi took the dress and asked in confusion.

"What are you talking about? Not only are you going to the party with me, but you're also going to dance with me as my partner."

"Hey! We want to dance together, I don't think I've ever heard you say that!"

"Otherwise, do you have to stay in the room all night? You should know that not only will many well-known people in society come to this party, but it is said that you can also buy a lot of good things. Moreover, I heard that several gym leaders from Kanto and other regions are also participating, and there will be a Pokémon battle afterwards."

"Gym Leader! Pokémon Battle! Okay, I'll join in." When Ash heard that there would be a battle and gym leaders participating, he immediately became interested.

After hearing Xiaozhi's answer, Sundae showed an expression that I expected. This time, Sundae has really grasped Xiaozhi's character.
