"Although they're very strong, we can still handle them in their berserk state, Meow." Meow thought calmly and rationally.
Fruit God was responsible for deflecting attacks, while Meow Meow and the others waited for an opportunity to strike.
Pikachu joins the battle, and because Pikachu enters the actor's territory, Tomoko and the others are at a disadvantage.
The Rockets trio were incredibly arrogant; sure enough, without Lin Xi, everything went smoothly for them.
Lin Xi arrived at the critical moment
Lin Xi appeared with a smile on her face among the Rockets' trio. "I think I heard someone say I'm handsome."
Musashi turned his head mechanically, "Yeah, big brother, we were just praising how handsome you are."
Kojiro very considerately handed Lin Xi a cigarette and lit it for her.
Lin Xi took a satisfying drag, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to take you home?"
"Big brother, let's go now!" The Team Rocket trio quickly ran off!
I was afraid that I might fly away if I wasn't careful.
Lucario also collapsed from exhaustion, after all, it had been fighting four Pokémon by itself for so long.
Korni hugged it, thinking, "How can I truly master super evolution so you don't suffer?"
She felt a pang of heartache seeing Lucario in pain.
Lin Xi took out a soothing bell from her backpack and put it on Lucario, saying, "This is for you; it will help Lucario."
(Soothing Bell: A bell with a calming sound that soothes the wearer and makes them more friendly.)
"Thank you," Korrina said without hesitation, accepting the gift and putting it on Lucario.
However, her beautiful eyes held a strange emotion as she looked at Lin Xi.
After recovering, everyone rallied their spirits and continued their journey to their training ground—Mount Muster.
"Hello, I'm Korni from Salo City. My grandfather sent me." Korni pushed open the door with great enthusiasm.
The villa door was pushed open, and a cute little elf peeked out.
"It's Maw of Babel! So cute!" Yulijia's eyes lit up, her gaze filled with stars.
"Everyone, I am the owner of this villa." An old lady drove a maglev car, and Big Mouth Kid happily ran over.
The kind old lady patted the big-mouthed child's head and said, "Thank you for watching over the house."
The old lady looked at Korni and thought, "She really looks like that guy. You must be Xiao Kong's granddaughter."
"That's right, grandma, my name is Korini. Grandpa hopes I can learn the meaning of super evolution here," Korini replied obediently.
Lin Xi and the others also greeted the old lady.
"Hello, my name is Maple, you can call me Grandma Lu. Okay, I've heard about what happened, let me see your strength." The old lady looked at Korni with a kind expression.
The two engaged in a Pokémon battle on an open grassy field.
"Go! Lucario, Mega Evolution!" Korrina didn't dare to be careless and immediately Mega Evolved Lucario!
[Big Mouth Baby]
Level: 79 (Peak of Heavenly King)
Potential: King
"Waveguide is amazing! Mawile, let's Mega Evolve!"
The old woman pressed the keystone on her cane, and with a flash of light, a brand new Mawile appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Lucario, Bullet Punch!" Korrina showed no mercy and launched an attack.
Lucario, its hand flashing with light, charged towards Mawile.
"Mouthwa, use Ice Punch to intercept, then use Lightning Punch to attack!"
Lin Xi was startled, realizing that this was also a user of the Farmer's Three Punches technique.
The baby opened its eyes, and its aura instantly changed. A sharp and nimble presence surged forth. Its short right hand clenched into a fist, and a chilling aura gathered from it. Its left hand was raised high, and crackling sparks of electricity appeared continuously.
Mawile strode forward fearlessly, swinging his right hand at Lucario and successfully blocking Lucario's Bullet Punch.
Then, without hesitation, Mawile swung its left hand, and a surge of raging electricity, like a beast unleashed, instantly engulfed Lucario.
An explosion rang out, and Lucario collapsed to the ground, covered in black smoke, having reverted from its Mega Evolution state and instantly losing its ability to battle!
Serena was astonished. Was this really the kind old lady?
Why did you attack so ruthlessly, defeating Lucario in one blow?
Lin Xi noticed that Lucario seems to be either constantly getting into trouble or on its way to getting into trouble.
Korne was a little frustrated; was she really that weak?
Lin Xi noticed that something was wrong with Korrina and quickly went over to her, patting her on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it. Grandma just wants your Lucario to let go of all its pride. You and your Lucario are very strong. After all, very few people your age can raise a Pokémon to the Elite Four level!"
Kerni threw herself into Lin Xi's arms and whispered, "Thank you."
Soon, Korni wriggled out of Lin Xi's arms, full of energy again, though upon closer inspection, her face was slightly flushed.
"Lucario, don't be discouraged, we'll get through this, please, Grandma Lucario," Korrina comforted the somewhat withdrawn Lucario.
"These are flowers I just picked. I'd like Korrina and Lucario to arrange them. Of course, Lin Xi, you can join in too." The old lady specifically mentioned Lin Xi, as she had noticed something unusual about Korrina's feelings for her.
“We’d like to do some kind of training or special practice…” Ma Xiu quickly chimed in.
"Well, isn't this good?" the old lady agreed.
Serena and the others happily released Fennekin, Sylveon, Froakie, and Chespin.
"You must create an absolutely fantastic piece!" the old lady said with a smile.
Chapter 171 Lin Xi's Flower Arrangement
Korne went first in flower arranging, but Serena was much better at it.
Korrina got excited too, "Lucario, we absolutely can't lose to them!"
"Haha, now is the time for science to explore the future! Come out, Flower Arrangement No. 1!" Citron once again used the power of science.
Ash exclaimed, watching the efficient mechanical chant, "The power of science is truly amazing!" However, Somo's constantly retreating steps betrayed her.
As expected, the machine couldn't escape its fate of exploding, and Citron and Halil got a free perm.
Grandma Lu smiled happily as she looked at the energetic young people.
Lin Xi picked up a few roses and busied herself tying them into a bouquet using fine satin.
Bouquets made from this kind of satin have an exceptionally smooth and soft feel.
Grandma Lu squinted; this was clearly an expert!
Vases are Lin Xi's primary choice. Flower arranging, unlike bouquets, pursues a direct visual experience and can be preserved for a long time. The combination of the two should naturally complement each other.
Lin Xi quickly selected a vase, trimmed, arranged, and weighed it.
Lin Xi became inexplicably serious, or rather, he himself was caught up in this subtle atmosphere.
When the artwork was completed, even Grandma Lu and Grandma Lu stared at it in a daze, unable to come to their senses.
Several pruned branches intertwine and blend evenly, their various colors creating a complex and dazzling beauty.
In her opinion, these weren't flowers at all; they were on par with paintings. They looked like messy branches and lines, yet they were presented in such a beautiful way—it was almost magical.
This flower arranging expert felt like she had forgotten how to arrange flowers.
Korne and Serena stared in awe at the artful flower arrangement.
Lin Xi didn't say anything, and continued arranging flowers, soon producing one beautiful arrangement after another.
Lin Xi also gave his works to everyone, and everyone was all smiles.
Even Yuuna has a share.
Lin Xi is a bit tired...
“You’ve done a great job. Everyone’s work reflects your personalities very well…” She paused when she saw Korni.
"Did you two each arrange the pieces in Korne's artwork? That shows you know each other very well." Grandma frowned.
“Of course, we’ve been together since we were little.” Korne said confidently, “We’ve been together since we were little.”
Lucario is also arrogant.
"Then please show me your work tomorrow as well." With that, he walked out.
Lin Xi could tell that Ke Erni hadn't passed the test.
"But what about training?" Korini muttered to herself. Tomoko, holding Pikachu, said, "Perhaps this is what training is."
The next day, after everyone set off, Grandma Lucario said to Korne, "Korne and Lucario, go and see the scenery in the mountains together. Something good will happen."
Korrina and Lucario walked along the mountain path. "Is this good news?"
Korn and Lucario strolled through the mountains, seemingly drawn by an unseen force.
Is it the allure of the mountain spring, or the anticipation of the sunrise? Or perhaps life is too dull and monotonous, and one wants to seek out fresh elements to maintain the passion in their heart?
