Serena, you can do it!
Lin Xi's encouragement also gave Serena a boost.
Citron waved his flag and shouted, "The game begins!"
Serena and Saki both charged off on their armored rhinoceroses, racing across the track, neither giving way to the other.
With her extensive experience, Sachi gradually gained the upper hand.
"Go for it, Serena!"
Lin Xi's enthusiastic encouragement seems to have worked!
Serena looked ahead with determination, recalling the scenes from her journey: "My encounter with Lin Xi, the beginning of my bond with the Fire Fox, getting along well with Yuri and her siblings, Ma Xiu, and Zhi Zi, enjoying the experience of filming the Pocket TV show, learning about the Elf Performer from Shana, and now I have found my dream. I want to fight for my dream just like everyone else!"
Serena's powerful belief was transmitted to the armored rhinoceros, and Serena and the armored rhinoceros sprinted with all their might, ultimately overtaking their mother.
After Serena crossed the finish line, Sachi gently patted her shoulder and said, "Serena, I've witnessed your determination. I'll be there to support you. Keep up the good work in Pokémon performances."
Serena ran to her mother after getting down and hugged her tightly. She was extremely happy at that moment. She had finally found something she liked and gained her mother's approval.
"Congratulations, Serena." Lin Xi and the others also came over.
Saki looked at Lin Xi with a meaningful smile and said, "I'm entrusting Serena to your care."
After listening, Lin Xi quickly replied, "I will ensure Serena's safety and make her happy." Then he felt something was off.
Serena's little face was flushed, and Yuri, standing beside her, once again wore a maternal smile.
Serena is very shy now. Oh dear, what is her mother saying?
She suspected that her mother had found out she had been seduced by Lin Xi.
Zhizi and Maxiu's faces turned black.
Zhizi was preparing to launch an offensive; she could no longer sit idly by and wait to be defeated!
What about Mom's side...?
Why don't we team up?
Suddenly, Tomoko had a bold idea!
Ma Xiu was also prepared to offer herself to the tiger; as long as he could taste her unripe and tender self, he would know that she was very attractive.
Assistance from the mother-in-law
In the evening, Serena and the others said goodbye to Sachi and turned to walk towards the Pokémon Center.
Sachi watched her daughter and Lin Xi's retreating figures as they set off again, and smiled faintly, saying, "Don't disappoint me."
"I just wonder when I'll get a granddaughter to play with."
That's right, as someone who's been through it all, Ma Xiu could tell at a glance that her sweetheart had been taken by Lin Xi.
But she had no objections; mutual affection was perfectly fine.
Chapter 219 Ma Xiu's Little Theater
"What's going on?" Lin Xi and the others were attracted by the decorations as soon as they stepped out.
"Any activities planned for today?" Ma Xiu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Nurse Joy came over and patiently explained to these out-of-towners, "Today is the annual festival in Wing City. To show the friendship between trainers and Pokémon, the trainers here give gifts to their partners under that big tree."
Everyone looked in the direction Miss Joy was pointing and was even more surprised. "It's even bigger than the tree in the dojo!"
Serena's eyes lit up when she learned about the event. "How romantic! I want to prepare a gift too!"
Tomoko, holding Pikachu, pondered, "What gift should I prepare?"
Joey smiled and reminded everyone, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Xi, "Everyone should hang their gifts on the Oath Tree first. After sunset, the festival will begin under the auspices of Master Fu."
Serena checked the navigation: "There's a shopping street in the city of Lovely Wings where we should be able to find some great gifts."
"In that case, let's set off."
"I won't go; I'll make the gift myself." The Citron team was quite confident in their hands-on abilities—the confidence of "great inventors"!
After hearing this, Tomoko put down Pikachu and the Poké Ball and said to Bonnie, "Then Bonnie, can you help take care of my Pokémon? I want to prepare a gift for them, but I don't want them to know in advance."
Yulijia expressed her delight!
Lin Xi was also discussing it with Xi Nai, and finally convinced Xi Nai by offering her two wonderful nights as a price.
Ma Xiu and Zhi Zi are a group
Lin Xi and Serena, as a team, began searching for things that could be given as gifts.
Lin Xi and Serena walked down the street, looking just like a couple.
Okay... they are a couple.
"Want some ice cream?" Lin Xi asked the girl holding her hand.
"OK"
"Two mini ice creams."
"Lin Xi, give me a bite!"
Serena: Awoo
Enjoying ice cream while riding the tram, watching the scenery outside the window together – such a pleasant moment for two is a rare treat during the trip.
"This pink hair accessory is practically made for Fiery Fox."
"Wait, this necklace matches Yuna's noble aura perfectly, this is the one!"
.......
After finishing her selection, Lin Xi went into a decoration shop and picked out a blue ribbon. When she came out, Serena asked curiously, "Lin Xi, didn't you buy gifts for all your elves? What's this...?"
"I thought it was pretty, so I just bought it."
Lin Xi smiled
Serena seemed to be lost in thought after hearing this, and a slight smile curved her red lips.
After shopping, the two sat on the tram on their way back, watching the sun gradually set, and couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time had passed, after all, they had both been very happy during this time.
Even more enjoyable than nighttime activities
Back at the Pokémon Center, Clemont finished his gift, and everyone brought the wrapped gifts to the festival.
As night deepened, Fu stood beneath the Tree of Oath and announced the start of the festival, "Now, the festival symbolizing the bond between trainers and Pokémon officially begins." With that, Fu pulled the switch on the venue, and the entire Tree of Oath emitted a dazzling light.
"Hali Chestnut, Digger Rabbit, this is a gift I made for you." Citron's handmade music box began to spin, and on it were small figurines of Halili Chestnut and Digger Rabbit.
"This is a painting that Yulijia drew for everyone." Yulijia happily held up her work, which she had been busy with all day.
"Fire Fox, this is a gift I carefully selected for you. Thank you for your continued companionship." Serena placed the headdress on the Fire Fox.
As for the mischievous panda Serena, she gave it a high-class grass.
The fire fox, adorned with a headdress, jumped into Serena's arms.
Tomoko also brought gifts for her Pokémon.
"Sylveon, this is a ribbon for you. Do you like it?"
Sylveon also entangled Ma Xiu's hand.
"Xi Nai, do you like this necklace?" Lin Xi smiled at Xi Nai.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Xina threw herself into Lin Xi's arms.
Passersby looked at Lin Xi with strange expressions.
Lin Xi didn't take it seriously; they were just envious that I had Gardevoir.
Team Rocket members disguised in the crowd joined in, shouting, "Meowth, Squidward, this is your gift!"
"Wow, Pumpkin Spirit, this is a gift for you two."
Kojiro and Musashi handed the gifts to everyone.
Meow and the other elves were moved to tears upon receiving the gifts. Although they had endured much hardship on their journey, the happy times they shared together were unforgettable.
"Alright, Team Rocket, let's keep going!" Musashi said, full of energy.
After everyone finished giving their gifts, a beautiful fireworks display began in Biyi City.
Amidst the magnificent fireworks, beside the Tree of Vows, Lin Xi approached Serena and presented her with the beautifully wrapped gift. "Serena, thank you for traveling with me. Please accept this gift."
Serena, with her flowing long hair, was deeply moved upon seeing the gift. She accepted it with tender affection and looked gently at Lin Xi.
"It's so great to be able to travel with you."
The dazzling fireworks in the sky highlighted the sincere feelings between the two.
Of course, Lin Xi, being a scumbag, also prepared gifts for Ma Xiu and Zhi Zi.
I hope we can travel as a group of four in the future.
