Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

On December 24th, Xia Chen returned to Zhijiang.

Besides Xianbu and Xanadu, there was another woman wearing sunglasses.

In fact, his class for the first half of the semester is not over yet, theoretically speaking, he should go back to school first.

However, the speaker of Shangjing University is by his side, and Xia Chen has just made great contributions to the school. Isn't it easy to take a short vacation from now to winter vacation?

As for course credits

The credits awarded to the champion of the Donghuang Youth Competition, the most important competition, are enough for ten students from the training family to graduate normally.

It is not rigorous to say that the championship is the most important, and there are not no competitions that reward higher credits.

For example, the World Youth Trainer Championship, conferences in various regions, world championships, etc.

However, in the history of the school, no one has ever graduated with the credits awarded by the champion of this kind of competition.

In short, theoretically speaking, Xia Chen and Hu Yang will have no problem getting their graduation certificates in the graduation season next year.

But still that sentence.

Yes, but not necessary.

Anyway, ask for leave at will, travel as usual, why not get some scholarships every year?

eleven o'clock in the morning.

At Zhijiang Shuijun International Airport, a plane departing from Funan City landed smoothly, and Xia Chen and Sirona walked out of the cabin.

Taking a deep breath of the familiar air, Xia Chen showed a satisfied smile, "Sure enough, the air humidity in Zhijiang is more comfortable."

Shangjing is too dry, Funan is too moist, and Zhijiang is just right between the two.

Sirona was not as hypocritical as Xia Chen, she tightened her coat and walked out.

Xia Chen followed and muttered to the side: "We'll eat outside at noon, and we'll clean the house in the afternoon. If we haven't come back for half a year, wild elves may grow in the yard, and we need to buy some new year's goods."

Sirona stopped suddenly, tilted her head and asked, "Your itinerary. Don't you spend seven days at your house?"

"Well"

Xia Chen said weakly, "Can't you?"

Sirona raised her forehead, "Do you have any misunderstanding about the word tourism?"

Xia Chen thought for a while, and then asked: "Then do you want to eat my cooking every day, watch TV and play games, and go out for shopping occasionally, or do you want to eat and sleep outside every day?"

Sirona was silent for a while, and said, "Arrange as you please."

Xia Chen smiled slightly. I knew you were a house girl the first time I saw you. I still can't handle you?

What is the difference between working and living in the ruins and the wild every day if you are not at home to relax and go out for a stroll after the holiday?

After a year of busy playing games and digging the ruins for a year, you should just lie down and enjoy it at home!

…………

Xia Chen's house was quite far from the airport, and it was almost twelve o'clock when we arrived near his house.

The house hasn't been cleaned up for half a year, so it's definitely inconvenient to cook and eat for a while.

So Xia Chen took Sirona to a small restaurant that he always went to when he was too lazy to cook.

"Long time no see, Uncle Tai, and you, Elegant Cat."

Xia Chen smiled and greeted a half-bald old man lying on a deck chair basking in the sun at the entrance of the restaurant, and an elegant cat at his feet.

"Meow~"

The figure of the elegant cat is a little old, but it still walked to Xia Chen's side with graceful steps, and rubbed his calf affectionately.

Xia Chen happily squatted down, picked up the big cat and licked it, and the skillful technique made the elegant cat twist its body in enjoyment.

On the reclining chair, Uncle Tai who was basking in the sun leisurely opened his eyes, very surprised, "Oh, our champion is back?"

Xia Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How did you find out so quickly?"

Uncle Tai smiled and turned on the radio next to the recliner, and the sound of news broadcast came from it.

"Yesterday, in the final of the 73rd Donghuang Youth Trainer Competition held in Funan City, Xia Chen, a famous elf researcher in our city and a young trainer, defeated the red player with a score of 3:0 and won the crown. It is reported that , he is the youngest champion in the event, at the age of 17 years and 9 months, he is one and a half years away from the second place."

Uncle Tai pressed the switch, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Xia Chen clicked his tongue regretfully, he hadn't heard enough.

"I've been playing this news since last night, my ears are almost callused!"

Uncle Tai stood up and stretched, and asked, "I just came back, are you coming over for lunch?"

Putting down the Elegant Cat, Xia Chen nodded with a smile, then pointed to Sirona who was quietly looking at the street scene of Fenqiang Daiwa, and said, "My friend came to Zhijiang to play, there are two of us, ten elves, you and the devil The wall puppet fry four or five dishes casually, and then make more braised meat."

Uncle Tai nodded without hesitation, and suddenly asked meaningfully: "Oh, by the way, isn't Mingyi here? Is Padia going to school? Is she coming back for the Chinese New Year?"

Xia Chen coughed lightly, and replied: "I asked her yesterday, and she said that the schoolwork there is heavy, and I won't be back until the next year."

"oh--"

Uncle Tai dragged the word "oh" for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "Understood, you and your friends go into the private room, I'll cook."

He patted Xia Chen on the shoulder heavily, and Uncle Tai went into the back kitchen.

…………

After scooping up a whole spoonful of crystal-clear shrimps with a faint tea fragrance and putting them into her mouth, Sirona sighed contentedly.

"Oh, this shrimp is delicious."

Xia Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Tai was in charge of cooking in Hesonglou before he retired. This is a unique skill. I learned all the Jiang dishes from him. Try this, it won't taste good when it's cold."

He pointed at the fried eel, which was a little unsavory due to its appearance. Sirona has not touched a bite since it was served on the table.

Sirona raised her chopsticks and looked at this shiny brown-black dish, which was made up of strips of unknown stuff and was not sure whether it could be called a dish. Her expression was a little hesitant.

After thinking about it, Sirona decided to let the elf try it first. She looked at Roseredo first, "You want to try it first?"

Rose Leiduo shook his head crazily, "Lei Duo. (I am a grass elf, I don't eat meat)"

As she spoke, she stretched out her vines to pick up a piece of frozen sheep cake, dipped it in vinegar and put it in her mouth to suppress her shock.

Xia Chen rolled his eyes, as for that.

He scooped a spoonful of it, put it in a bowl and ate it, while explaining: "This is shredded eel, oh. It doesn't seem to be included in the ingredients in the Sinnoh region, but it's really edible."

Seeing Xia Chen eating with gusto, Sirona was shaken. Xia Chen was trustworthy in terms of eating.

So, she tried to put a small piece of shredded eel into her mouth. Instantly, a strong salty-sweet aroma accompanied by the tender eel meat exploded on her taste buds. The oily but not greasy texture made Sirona subconsciously... He swallowed the eel silk into his mouth.

"It's okay."

Sirona commented incoherently, but couldn't help but scoop up a spoonful of it with a spoon and put it into her mouth, and then made a strange sound.

Looking at Sirona who looked slightly red, Xia Chen smiled in his heart.

Tsundere has withdrawn from the environment!

But if it’s Sister Zhulan,

…………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first lunch back to Zhijiang was a complete success. In fact, Xia Chen didn't care. The main thing was that the guests were satisfied enough.

Amidst the greetings from the neighbors, Xia Chen and Sirona walked slowly on the not-so-wide street.

Walking on the ancient path paved with blue bricks, Sirona held a bowl of rice dumplings in her hand and said with emotion: "It's really strange here. When I left the airport, I thought Zhijiang was completely a developed and advanced modern city."

Xia Chen shrugged, "Innovating without forgetting the roots is a characteristic of the city of Zhijiang. You see, if you just walk around the city like a tourist, you won't have such a profound understanding, right?"

"makes sense"

Sirona swallowed a mouthful of meatballs and suddenly turned to look at Xia Chen, "If I'm not a tourist, then what am I?"

Xia Chen paused and scratched his head unnaturally, "Come to visit my good friend?"

Wiping off the wine stained on her lips with a tissue, Sirona chuckled and nodded.

The atmosphere was a little subtle. Xia Chen rolled his eyes and raised his hand to point to a corner of the alley.

"Xianbu, did I pick you up here?"

"Buy?"

Xian Buxu, who was dismissing the wild cats who came around out of curiosity, looked back at Xia Chen and used me to change the subject again?

Ha, man.

However, although the method was low-level, the topic really aroused the curiosity of Miss Sirona. She was surprised and said: "This is how you and Senbu actually know each other?"

A smile of success appeared on Xia Chen's lips, and then he talked about the past with a nostalgic tone, "I have never thought about the circumstances in which I met my original spirit. It was a morning after the rain."

Xianbu on the side also quietly pricked up his ears. As a witness, he listened to Xia Chen telling this story that only belonged to the two of them, but from time to time he still kept his mouth shut and tried to tamper with history.

"Bu Yi! (Obviously it was you who begged me to be your initial elf at that time!)"

"Buyi! (You are weak and pitiful, but you can eat!)"

"..."

…………

As expected, elves are everywhere in the house and overgrown with weeds. The training equipment that was once bought for Senbu at a high price in the yard has become the nest of wild elves.

As for why Xia Chen could see that equipment made of plastic and metal could still grow grass?

And it’s still dry and soft hay.

Shushu, I have already occupied Xia Chen's house.

I just don’t know if it’s Rattata or other rat Pokémon that occupy this place.

Xia Chen wasn't too angry either. While enjoying the fun brought to him by the spirit world full of vitality and infinite possibilities, he was bound to have to endure minor troubles from time to time.

For example, this is the current situation.

Sirona on the side looked at the deserted yard and asked: "Didn't you leave the elf to look after the house?"

Sirona, who is digging in the dirt, competing or dealing with league affairs all year round, also often experiences this situation.

However, her house is much larger, and she leaves two elves to look after the house every time she goes out. Wild elves will certainly not be so bold as to build a nest next to the house.

Xia Chen was speechless, "I only have five elves so far. No, a team of six elves can't even make up. Who will be left to look after the house?"

Although he said this, Xia Chen felt in his heart that this proposal was a good one.

Looking at the exquisite and warm little nest in the training equipment, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

Xia Chen said calmly: "Xianbu, go and find them."

"Bu Yi!" Xian Bu responded.

Of course, this kind of thing was not difficult for Senbu, a little expert in reconnaissance. The yard was not big. She quickly found two big and two small mice in a bush, a total of four shivering white mice.

"Hey, it turns out to be a family of rats?"

Xia Chen was surprised when he saw the unexpected situation.

A family of rats is a very common elf in the Padia region, probably as common as Pikachu in the countryside of Kanto region.

However, the Padia region was quite far from the Donghuang region, and he rarely encountered the elves in the Padia region, let alone wild elves, even in battles.

But less does not mean no, in this era of convenient transportation and more frequent exchanges, it is also reasonable for a few rats to travel across the ocean.

The family of mice should have been hiding here when Xia Chen entered the yard, and it seemed that they also knew that they were doves occupying the magpie's nest.

Maybe it's out of moral conscience that hasn't disappeared, or maybe it's feeling the aura of Lucario following Sirona.

In short, they hid in the grass in a hurry before Xia Chen came in, and then they were caught by Xianbu.

…………

"Are you so courageous? Dare to occupy my house."

Xia Chen squatted on the ground, interrogating these daring rats.

The two bigger ones, who should be the parents, bravely stood in front of the mice against Lucario's invisible aura, as if they wanted to kill or cut them as you please.

However, the slightly trembling round ears on the top of the head still exposed their inner fear and panic.

Xia Chen snorted and said, "What should I do? Are you going or should I go?"

The two rats in the family of mice looked at each other, and they both saw the gloom and frustration in each other's eyes.

It took so long to find this place, and it took countless twists and turns to defeat countless local Ladas, big and small.

The nest has just been built, and the good life has not lived for several days, and it will be driven away by the original owner.

Shushu, I am so unwilling!

But what if you are not reconciled? This is indeed someone else's home, more importantly.

Looking up at the elves beside the human, Shushu knew that he could not offend them.

That Lucario can make himself lose the idea of ​​​​fighting resistance just by relying on his aura.

They didn't rush up and beat themselves away, but they discussed it for a while in a good voice and it was already very face-saving.

After thinking about it, life is more important than the newly built nest.

The two Shushu had no choice but to turn around, pack their bags, and prepare to leave their hometown again.

"However, if you are willing to cooperate with me, it is not impossible to stay here."

But before they walked out of the gate of the yard, the man's devilish voice of tempting Shushu came from behind.

"squeak?"

The ashen eyes of the mice and mice revived, and the feeling that the willows and flowers were bright gave them hope again.

How do they know that Xia Chen has already played with Shushu's heart in the palm of his hand.

Sirona on the side saw Xia Chen's method of playing with Shuxin, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

She felt that she needed to re-examine this sunny and cheerful boy.

…………

After some communication (fooling), Xia Chen signed an unequal rental agreement with a family of mice.

Party A, Xia Chen, needs to provide a house for Party B's family of mice, which is where they are now.

Party B's family of rats needs to complete a series of things such as housekeeping, yard maintenance, and regular weed removal when Xia Chen is not at home as rent, and at the same time must not do any damage to Xia Chen's house.

Pressing Shushu's round palm to sign and draw, Xia Chen officially harvested four house mice.

However, Xia Chen is not a devil after all. Although he did not formally subdue the family of mice, he decided to give them some preferential treatment that only his own elves can enjoy.

"Help us clean up, take you to dinner, what's the deal?"

Xia Chen remembered that the family of rats had a very powerful exclusive move. After using it, it could not only increase the attack and speed, but also clear the moves on the field, such as water chestnuts, invisible rocks, and sticky nets.

It can be called an enhanced version of Dragon Dance.

But this is not the key, the key is that the name of this move is [Cleaning].

Such a powerful move should be no problem for housework, right?

A family of rats also knew what it means to be "people have to bow their heads under the eaves." The two rats looked at each other and accepted the deal.

Facts have proved that the family mouse's exclusive move [cleaning] is really effective.

The home that no one lived in for half a year was full of dust. Originally, Xia Chen planned to let Menus wash it first with water.

But with Shushu's help, everything it passes by is as clean as new, just like four biological versions of vacuum cleaners.

Xia Chen was very happy, and added a clause in the agreement that Party B's family of rats needs to clean the house once a month.

Shushu Zhizhi protested against party A Xia Chen's endless prostitution and exploitation, and applied for labor arbitration to the neutral party Sirona.

Under the staring eyes of Sister Zhulan, Xia Chen had no choice but to give a plan to put a few boxes of energy cubes at home as a reward every time before leaving home.

"Really, the landlord's house doesn't have any surplus food either."

Xia Chen, who had at least tens of millions of deposits in his card, complained.

Finally, with the help of many elves, Xia Chen's house was clean and tidy again before the sun went down.

…………

After chatting with Sirona for a while, Xia Chen, who had enough rest, went out to buy groceries.

Perhaps it was because the local news repeatedly bombarded Xia Chen with the news that he won the championship. Today's neighbors are really enthusiastic.

This also confirms one thing from the side, the battle of elves is the most popular national activity in the world - when the two research results of Menus and Xianbu were released, there was no such effect at all.

Although each of these two studies is singled out, the influence and gold content are much higher than the champion of a youth competition.

But there is no way, those researches, papers and so on are a bit far away from these uncles and aunts.

As for the champion of Donghuang, he knew immediately that Xia Chen was a promising kid!

Although this champion is only the youth version.

After wandering around the vegetable market, Xia Chen returned home with a lot of homemade smoked fish and bacon dim sum dumplings and the like.

The dinner is still from Jiangben, so it is light and comfortable to eat after a tiring journey.

The second is that Sirona is quite satisfied with what she ate at noon, and the guests must be arranged.

In a hurry at noon, Xia Chen didn't let Uncle Tai cook too many dishes. There is plenty of time in the evening, so he planned to show his skills and try to make Sirona's stomach bigger after the meal.

Shrimp with green snails, duck in oil, squirrel mandarin fish, tofu with crab powder. A table of local dishes overflowing with fragrance was served one after another, and they were all gone within half an hour.

It was past seven o'clock after dinner.

The exhaustion of the journey, plus the cleaning all afternoon, although it is definitely not a big deal with the physical strength of the elves, but it is still a bit tired mentally.

Except for the cook, Roseredo, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, the other elves started their own nightlife.

The two Meinas went to the swimming pool on the top floor to soak in the water and bask in the moon.

The eldest sister of the family, Tou Xianbu, took her younger brother, Doron Mesia, to teach the rules of the new member of the family in the living room.

Lucario looked at Zoroark who had changed his appearance after not seeing him for a long time, and brought her to the yard, perhaps for a sparring session.

Xanadu took a plate of fruit that had just been cut in the kitchen and put it on the coffee table, then ran to take care of the sticky treasure that was still in the egg and hadn't hatched yet.

on the sofa.

Sirona stretched her waist, showing a beautiful figure, "Is there a training room at home?"

Xia Chen glanced at her still flat belly, and shook his head regretfully, "No, how can there be such a place in an old house, let's rest for a few days, and give the biting land sharks a few days off."

Sirona frowned. She didn't want Lie Bite Lu Sharks to train them, but mainly herself. If she didn't exercise, she would gain a few catties when she returned to Shen'ao.

But she was too embarrassed to say this to Xia Chen, after thinking about it, she still didn't say it.

However, Sirona's hesitation to speak is still too much to hide from the superpower Xia Chen. He said helplessly: "There is an elf training hall nearby. If you really want to train, go there, but I don't know about the training over there." Can the equipment withstand the ravages of champion elves?"

"Forget it, it's okay."

Sirona decided not to worry about these illusory things, let's indulge in these few days

Glancing at the conspicuous game console in the living room, she suddenly felt a little itchy.

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "How many elves to fight?"

Xia Chen readily replied: "I am willing to accompany you."

Thus, a small after-dinner exercise belonging to otaku and otaku began.

…………

"Aren't you going to change houses? It's a bit small here, isn't it?"

Sirona, who controlled the ghost Zoroark who updated the speed of light in the game, played a set of silky combos and asked casually.

Xia Chen operated the Duolong Baruto to block in embarrassment, and replied: "I don't have this idea for the time being, let's talk about it, and my idea is to do it in one step. If you want to change it, you can change it to a bigger one."

Sirona asked: "Hasn't your company that sells energy cubes been open for half a year? The money you make is not enough to replace it?"

Xia Chen frowned, "Opening a new factory, expanding production lines, managing relationships, investing in advertising, investing in channels, and expanding the market. It costs money everywhere, but the financial report will come out after the year. Let's see how much I earned in the past six months."

Sirona joked with a smile: "He's so sensible, he is indeed a young and promising entrepreneur~"

"Every week's video conference is full of complaints to me about this. I've heard the cocoon a long time ago. I just want to lie down and eat dividends. I'll go. Why is this ghost Zoroark so fierce? Will the designer balance it? !"

"Heh, you are ashamed to say that the powerful attacking spirit of Duolong Baruto has been played into a pot by you."

"."
