Tomoko breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she had been quick-witted and made a strategic retreat in advance.
After things calmed down, everyone went back to their tents to sleep. In the early morning, the hungry Halili smelled the aroma and wandered away from the camp. After everyone got up, Citron was about to prepare breakfast when he suddenly discovered that Halili was gone.
After some time, Serena and Lin Xi emerged from the room, Serena looking radiant.
Ma Xiu looked at Serena meaningfully. She must have done something naughty last night. Speaking of which, Lin Xi's tent is really good quality; the soundproofing is ridiculous. Even eavesdropping last night didn't reveal anything.
Chapter 154 The dog died; no couple was innocent.
After searching the vicinity without success, everyone quickly packed their belongings and prepared to look for Halili Chestnut.
Lin Xi's Pikachu is obviously out stealing food somewhere.
Both being "slackers"... this Pokémon understands Chespin!
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Xi suggested, "In that case, Serena and I will go to the town over there to search, Zhizi and Maxiu will go to the village to search, and you siblings can search along the forest surrounding the town."
Serena blushed and replied, "Mmm."
Ma Xiu and Zhi Zi both looked at Lin Xi with some dissatisfaction, their eyes filled with pity. Lin Xi spoiled Serena too much.
Ash and Serena strolled hand in hand through the town. Serena gradually blushed; this... wasn't this just a date?
Lin Xi looked around and was surprised to find many food stalls. She walked up to a stall and bought a lot of snacks.
Lin Xi would take a bite and then feed Serena a bite, completely forgetting about the chestnut.
Serena noticed oil stains on Lin Xi's lips, so she stood on tiptoe and used her mouth to remove them.
A passerby commented: "The dog died, and no couple is innocent!"
After removing the oil stains, Serena quietly touched her stomach. Lin Xi was startled—was she pregnant?
Lin Xi, her face beaming with excitement, leaned close to Serena's ear and asked, "Baby, are you pregnant?"
Serena gave Lin Xi a charmingly disdainful look. "I'm just stuffed."
"Okay, looks like I'll have to step up my game!" Lin Xi suddenly lost her energy; she had thought Lin Du and Liu Tianling could take care of the baby.
Serena suddenly spotted a dessert shop, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Xi's hand and led her inside.
Lin Xi: ?
Weren't you already stuffed?
Why do dessert trends change so quickly?
Serena ordered two signature dishes and then sat down by the window.
Serena blushed instantly when she noticed Lin Xi giving her a strange look, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "Weren't we looking for Halili Chestnut...?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Yes, I understand. We're currently confirming whether Halili has sneaked into the store and have found a better spot to observe the outside."
It seems girls all have two stomachs.
Serena looked at Lin Xi with a face full of happiness.
Looking at the desserts on the table, Serena smiled and began to eat. Lin Xi, seeing the girl's adorable eating habits, blushed, her heart pounded, and she felt a pang of shyness.
The siblings strolled on the outskirts of town. Citron looked a little pale. "Am I hated by Halili Chestnut? It's so full and I still force it to exercise."
"No, brother, Halika must like you, otherwise it wouldn't have traveled with you," Yurika said, holding his hand.
Citron searched aimlessly for Halil, like a walking corpse.
Tomoko and Mashu Tomoko are plotting how to seduce Serena and become the empress.
After finishing their dessert, Tomoko and Serena walked hand in hand down the alleyway when an old man who had fallen ahead caught their attention.
Kazuko helped him up and asked, "Are you alright?"
If this were on Earth, Lin Xi definitely wouldn't dare to help. Helping him would turn a Rolls-Royce into an Audi, and helping him again would turn an Audi into a walking ditch.
But in the Pokémon world, the people are still relatively simple-minded.
For example, some little girls will run away with you if you trick them.
Then it's okay to do some of the things weird uncles like to do.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm getting old, my kidneys aren't doing well anymore. It's all because I wasn't disciplined enough when I was younger."
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm the champion of our town's fighting tournament!"
The old man, supporting his back, looked on with a sigh.
Serena suddenly looked at Lin Xi's kidneys and fell into deep thought.
If Lin Xi also lacked restraint, would he end up like this?
That's probably impossible, considering how amazing Lin Xi is...
Thinking of this, Serena blushed, her beautiful legs in stockings rubbing together slightly.
Lin Xi helped the old man home
Outside a house, an old woman was feeding Halili some freshly baked pastries. "That old man is really something. I'll make him apologize when he gets back."
"But the old man is still as virile as ever, last night..."
"Little girl, just put the cake and trophy on the stool." Serena put them down.
The old man led the two to the backyard, saying, "Old woman, I'm back."
The old woman looked at Halili with a pleading look in her eyes, "I'll treat you to some snacks, but you have to do me a favor too."
"Old man, I've found the elf. Let's battle!"
The old woman glared menacingly at the old man.
"I just won the town's celebration elimination rounds, you're no match for me," the old man said proudly.
Lin Xi and Serena stared in shock at the powerful-looking creature. Its size, its pig-like physique—wasn't that the same one as Citron's?!
"Hali Li, what are you doing here?"
As expected of a married couple, Lin Xi and Serena's voices synchronized.
"Is this your elf?" the old woman asked in surprise. What a coincidence!
"No, it's our partner's." Lin Xi and Serena shook their heads at the same time. It's so fat, they'd be embarrassed to say it's their Pokémon if they took it out.
The old woman then explained to them the background and reasons for using chestnuts in the battle.
Lin Xi looked at the Halili Chestnut with a mischievous grin. "It has already enjoyed your treat, so it should help you out." Seeing the Halili Chestnut reminded Lin Xi of his Pikachu!
Halizhuang stared at Lin Xi in shock. Could a human being really say something like that?
This is the devil!
Hali Li was somewhat desperate.
Seeing Hali Li stagger forward, the old man immediately ordered the Demon Fire Red Fox to fight.
"Red Fox, use Flamethrower."
The fiery red fox, holding a small twig, suddenly spewed out a mouthful of scorching flames.
Halidang rolled like a ball, barely managing to dodge the flamethrower.
"This is the final evolution of your Fire Fox," Lin Xi explained to Serena.
Serena still thinks the fire fox is prettier; it's small and cute.
"This kind of Pokémon can't possibly be a match for me, Flamethrower."
Halili trembled, covered his head, closed his eyes, and couldn't escape.
Just then, a figure rushed over, and Citron blocked the attack with his mechanical arm.
"Excuse me, but this is my Pokémon," Clemont said to the old woman. "Please let me continue battling."
The old woman's eyes lit up. "Good, good, good! I must beat the old man and make him apologize!"
"The Fiery Red Fox uses Flame Thrower."
The scorching flames swept towards Halili Li.
"Roll up, Chestnut!" Clemont's aura shifted, now displaying the power of a Gym Leader!
Halili Chestnut transformed into a ball and dodged the welcoming attack by rolling, while the fiery red fox continued to attack Halili Chestnut and kept rolling.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for using that move, magical flames!"
The old man raised his cane high, and then with a "crack," his back snapped.
The old woman hurriedly helped him back into the house, saying, "I told you, we've been married for so long, don't be so rough. Look at your back today, it's killing you!"
Chapter 155 Lin Xi: Am I going to be a kept man?
What are they talking about?!
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?!
