At the beginning of the game, Xanadu accidentally became the champion

After returning in the afternoon, he used the picked bouquets to complete flower arrangements with Qi Lulian. As the days passed, Xu Ran clearly felt the connection between him and Qi Lulian. With the increase in the number of flower arrangements, It has deepened a lot, and they have a more tacit understanding with each other than before.

As for Kerni, the progress is also visible to the naked eye, from the beginning of inserting each other, to gradually knowing how to match each other, until one day, she actually completed a lily of the valley that even Granny Maple admired. works on the theme.

From the time when the homework was handed in to the evening, Xu Ran trained a few little guys according to the training plan he had made, and at the same time continued to use the little arrow sparrow to compete with Corny's Lucario... Of course, the competition is not Mega, otherwise the little Arrow Sparrow will take the lead.

Under this kind of training, the little guys are gradually improving. Although the little Arrow Sparrow has not yet evolved, it has learned the steel wings.

However, Xu Ran was most surprised and pleasantly surprised by the Ugly Ugly Fish. Maybe it was his experiment on beauty that had an effect, or maybe it was because the beauty of the mountains infected the Ugly Ugly Fish. One of the scales has completely turned into color.

Although Xu Ran has never seen this scene in the animation, he knows it with his toes. This must be a precursor to the evolution of Ugly Fish into Menus.

In the evening, Xu Ran took out the illustration book, reviewed the skills and characteristics of Pokémon he was familiar with, and at the same time learned and copied those skills and characteristics that he was not familiar with or even seen before.

No matter where you are, if you want to become stronger, you have to work hard and learn. Xu Ran knows this deeply.

"It's time..." Rubbing his slightly astringent eyes, Xu Ran glanced at the time and closed the book.

After briefly moving his numb limbs, Xu Ran walked to the window and looked at the moon in the sky through the window, wanting to relieve the fatigue of his eyes by looking into the distance.

"Why does the moon here feel bigger than the moon in the previous life... Is it an illusion? Or is it because of the relationship on the mountain..." Looking at the moon, Xu Ran thought a little bored.

Yawning lazily, Xu Ran just turned around and was about to go to sleep, when in the corner of his vision, two figures were walking towards the platform outside the tree house.

"This girl... Leaning on the railing to look at the moon, is she doubting life again..."

Chapter 66 Under the Moon

"The meaning is unclear, there is no natural reason." Ke Erni stood on the platform outside the tree house, leaning on the railing, looking at the moon in the sky, her tone was a little lonely: "No matter how long this continues, I can't control the waveguide well..."

"Wow..." Lucario stood beside Corni and cried out with some concern.

"When will the special training start..." Kerni closed her eyes, leaned on the railing, and murmured.

"Okay, why are you starting to doubt life again?" A slightly teasing remark suddenly came from behind Kerni, she was startled, and when she looked back, she saw Xu Ran walking towards this side come.

"Why haven't you slept yet? You came here to tease me deliberately." Bright eyes glanced at Xu Ran, and Ke Erni twitched her mouth and muttered.

"I accidentally saw you coming when I was looking at the moon just now." Seeing Korni's cute appearance, Xu Ran chuckled in his heart, and immediately walked to her side, put his hands on the railing, and looked sideways. Looking at her, he said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, I know you're in trouble again, so I'm here to enlighten you."

"I'm worrying..." Seeing Xu Ran's smile, Kerni's depressed mood eased a little, she raised her wrist, looked at the lily of the valley bracelet that she made during the day, and asked, "Xu Ran... Why do you think Grandpa asked us to meet Granny Maple..."

"Crack!" Xu Ran didn't answer, and turned his hand and slashed lightly on her little head.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Korni covered her head with her little hands and looked at him with resentful eyes.

"Wow..." Lucario stood aside, watching the two quietly, without any overreaction.

"Who told you to ask such a boring question?" Xu Ran chuckled, ignoring Ke Erni's resentful eyes.

"Why are you bored!" Kerni looked at him angrily, but when she met Xu Ran's smiling eyes, she was a little discouraged, and said in a low voice, "It's just...just these days , Lucario and I didn't feel any improvement in strength at all."

"Wow." Lucario on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Kerni, what do you think Granny Maplu asked us to arrange flowers for?" The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and Xu Ran asked seriously.

"Why..." Slightly taken aback, Kerni lowered her head and thought for a moment before replying: "It should be to let Lucario and I get down to it. Granny Maple also said that we are too impatient. gone."

"Of course it's a little bit, but it's not all." Xu Ran affirmed first, and then shook his head gently.

"Not all?" Korni and Lucario looked at each other, wondering.

"Of course not all of them." Xu Ran looked at the puzzled look of the pair of partners, and replied: "Korni, you and Lucario have actually made great progress, but you are too focused on the improvement of strength. It’s just that I didn’t realize my progress.”

"Progress...is there really?" Ke Erni looked suspicious.

"Not only is there, but it should be very close to you controlling the waveguide." Xu Ran nodded, then looked at the lily of the valley bracelet on Kernihao's wrist, and said with a smile:

"The work you made with the theme of lily of the valley in the daytime was so amazing to Granny Maple. Think back, when you created this work, was there any difference between you and Lucario? The place?"

"Different places..." Corni and Lucario looked at each other while falling into deep thought.

"It seems that there are some... When picking lily of the valley, I just picked them with the cooperation of Lucario and me." Kerni whispered, she seemed to understand a little bit.

"Looking at the scenery with my partner, picking flowers together, and arranging flowers together, this is the practice that Granny Maple gave us, in order to broaden our horizons."

Xu Ran leaned against the railing, enjoying the evening breeze, looking at Korni's pretty face, and said with a smile:

"Korni, you and Lucario have a very good relationship. You grew up together, so you have the same thinking and the same way of acting, so when fighting, Lucario will use his own judgment to judge Trick, it'll think that's what you think too, and take it for granted."

With that said, Xu Ran paused slightly, and then continued:

"However, Kerni, the trainer and Pokémon are partners. They are partners who are fighting for the same goal, but they are not one person. They are different roles. Different people have different feelings.”

"Same scenery, different feelings..." Corny and Lucario felt a sense of transparency, and couldn't help looking at the moon in the sky.

Looking at this scene, the corner of Xu Ran's mouth curled up, and he also looked at the moon.

These words were summed up after Granny Maple told his problem on the first day, after arranging flowers these days, and now I just told her in light of Kerni's situation.

After a while, the pair of partners looked away, the loneliness on their faces had completely disappeared, replaced by that energetic smile.

"Really, in front of you, I feel so stupid... I am obviously younger than me..." Looking at the curvature of Xu Ran's mouth, Ke Erni's expression was slightly fascinated, and her heart beat suddenly. It took a few beats.

After realizing her strangeness, Ke Erni was startled, her pretty face blushed uncontrollably, and she turned her head away in a little panic.

Lucario looked at his partner with some doubts.

"It seems that I don't need to say any more." At this moment, a kind and friendly laughter came from behind the two of them, instantly dissipating the blush on Kerni's pretty face, and also shaking Xu Ran's heart. Pulled back from the state of Mochizuki.

"Grandma, when did you come here?" The two turned around, looked at Maple who was coming, and asked with a smile.

"It's been a while." Maple smiled slightly, then looked at Kerni, and said, "What Xu Ran said is basically what I want to say to you, Kerni, you are far from completely controlling Bird. It's just one step away."

"Yeah!" Ke Erni nodded, because of the strangeness just now, she didn't dare to look at Xu Ran's face now, and after saying good night to the two of them, she quickly left with a hint of running away. here.

Lucario also waved with the two of them and ran over.

"What's wrong with this girl?" He didn't notice Kerni's expression, and didn't know what she was thinking. Looking at Kerni's running back, he felt a little puzzled.

"It's nice to be young..." Maple didn't say much, and a look of memory appeared on her wrinkled face.

Chapter 67 Avignon City

In the morning, after breakfast, the two went up the mountain to pick flowers with bamboo baskets on their backs. After returning at noon, they began to make their own flower arrangements.

At this time, the two of them had a deep understanding of the word bond, and Maple was very satisfied with the completed work, and finally ended the trial with her words "you can have completed the training".

At this time, Xu Ran also inquired about Xanadu's mega evolution stone from Maple, but to his disappointment, Maple didn't know where it was. What Big Mouth Baby himself sensed during his travels decades ago.

During the conversation, Granny Meipulu told him that there are some things that cannot be forced, but should go with the flow. It should be yours, and you will get it when the time comes.

Xu Ran agreed with this very much, and immediately the disappointment on his face dissipated, and he recovered his spirit again. After all, this trip has gained enough, as for the rest, let's let it go...

……

"I'm going to trouble my mother-in-law to take care of this trip." Before the road intersection, Xu Ran and Kerni both bowed slightly to Maple, thanking them.

"Haha, it's okay." Maple waved her hand with a smile, and then warned: "Even if you complete your training, you can't relax and work hard towards new heights!"

"Well, I will work hard!" Both of them nodded seriously, then turned around and said goodbye: "Then we will leave, mother-in-law."

"Well, be careful all the way." Maple smiled and waved at the two.

"Hey~" Big Mouth also raised his small hand and waved towards the two of them.

……

Saying goodbye to Granny Maplu, and walking side by side with Xu Ran on the road, Kerni tilted her head and smiled lightly, and said very naturally: "I have completed my training now, and I will go back to Sala City next, you take You should be going to challenge the Sala Gym when you come down, right? Just drop in."

"Wow!" Lucario also raised his hand and yelled in approval.

"No, Kerni, I won't challenge your gym just yet." Xu Ran shook his head and looked at her seriously: "Now I am not your opponent at all, and I won't get the badge if I go there of."

"...that's it." Kerni's smile froze slightly, but it only took a moment before she recovered, and continued to chuckle: "That's right, but you should come to challenge my gym soon Bar?"

"Of course." Xu Ran smiled and nodded affirmatively.

"It's an agreement." Kerni stretched out her small fist towards Xu Ran.

"Yeah." After a moment of surprise, Xu Ran stretched out his fist and touched Kerni.

Slowly retracting her fists, Kerni stopped suddenly, remained silent for a while, raised her head, and said with a smile, "Then I won't go down the mountain with you anymore. I haven't seen you for so long after walking with you for so long." Roller skating, I will slide down the mountain at this opportunity."

Speaking, Ke Erni didn't wait for Xu Ran's response, she squatted down directly, pressed the switch on the shoe, and then slid all the way down the mountain, leaving him with a chic back.

Lucario waved at Xu Ran, turned around and followed.

Xu Ran stared blankly for a while, until the figures of Korni and Lucario completely disappeared on the horizon, then he sighed softly and continued walking down the mountain along the road.

Walking on the road, Xu Ran took out the electronic map and searched for his next destination.

Today, he needs experience and knowledge, and the little guys have made progress under his training. The ugly fish and the little arrow are only a step away from evolution, so the most needed right now, There is no doubt that it is a battle.

Speaking of battles, Xu Ran's best known battle location is the Battle Castle on Route [-], but he really didn't like the pre-war rules there, so he directly ruled it out.

His gaze swept across the place names one after another on the electronic map, and at the same time, he clicked on them, checked them one by one, and finally locked on a spot of light - the city of Avignon.

"A city of free battles!" Looking at the description below the location, Xu Ran rubbed his chin: "A city I've never heard of...but it's a nice place, so let's leave it at that."

With a decision in mind, Xu Ran determined the route on the electronic map, and took Qi Lulian towards the direction of the city.

……

Avignon City, the capital of water on three sides of the coast, as a seaside city, is different from Guxiang Town. The overall style of Avignon is more traditional, and there are ancient city walls that have been built for many years and have been weather-beaten on the periphery.

The city is backed by a mountain and built around the mountain as a whole. The green trees and the residential buildings in the city are closely intertwined, adding a sense of beauty to the city that blends with nature. In the center of the city , a towering castle stands facing the sea.

On the streets of the city, at the seaside, and in front of the castle, as long as there are trainers, battles are going on. During the battle, the noise of the crowd, the sound of the trainer's command, and the sound of Pokémon fighting, Uninterrupted resounding in the air.

As soon as he stepped into the city, Xu Ran was attracted by the strong fighting atmosphere here. At the moment, his heart became hot, and his desire to fight increased a lot.

Looking to the side of the street, surrounded by the crowd, two trainers were fighting. Xu Ran was infected by the atmosphere, and walked over with Qi Lulian in his arms.

"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

"Flame horse, shoot flames!"

The trainers on both sides watched the battle intently, commanding with their mouths, and Geng Gui and Raging Flame Horse in the field also responded positively.

Geng Gui's chubby body was floating in the air, with his hands on his chest, the dark energy gathered, and a dark purple energy ball quickly formed, and immediately went towards the flame horse below.

The flame horse neighed, its blazing mane of flames fluttering in the wind. It opened its mouth suddenly, and flames spurted out from it, like a fire dragon, blasting straight towards Gengar above.

The two moves collided in the air, there was an explosion sound, and at the same time smoke was everywhere, apparently canceling each other out.
