Chapter 127 A Painful Experience

In short, it was under these circumstances.

Natsuki's plan was thwarted, and he was called strange by the strange Haruka and Yuki, along with Karuni, who became curious about Natsuki and his friends.

The group of people went to a nearby restaurant together.

To avoid causing a disturbance, everyone chose a private room.

Then, seemingly out of despair and because there were no outsiders around, the group unanimously chose to channel their grief and anger into food.

Watching the group of people eating like they were doing a mukbang, even though she needed to diet to maintain her figure for her next movie, Karuni couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice.

Later, when Karuni arrived at her hotel room at the urging of her agent, she became depressed after seeing the number on the scale.

In the afternoon, after a good rest, Xia Mu once again defeated his opponent with overwhelming force, and finally met a worthy opponent in the round of 32 to 16.

"I've seen your videos, you're pretty good, but Sandslash and I aren't some nobody!"

Just as Xia Mu was looking at his group assignment on the big screen, Xiao Ming, the Beast Master, made a dazzling appearance.

A thick, black leather whip hung from his waist, and his strong muscles were completely concealed by his green vest, along with the formidable Pangolin standing beside him.

From his appearance alone, Xiaoming exudes the aura of a strongman.

However, compared to these things, what Xia Mu cared about more was...

Do you need an autograph?

Since arriving in Kagome Town, Natsuki has finally felt that his videos are not a waste of time. He can now and now meet fans who recognize him and come to ask for his autograph, which makes him very happy.

So even though it seemed like Xiaoming was there to provoke her, Xia Mu enthusiastically raised the pen in her hand to sign her name.

To Xia Mu's surprise, Xiao Ming not only didn't get angry after seeing his actions, but also nodded in agreement.

"Can!"

As expected of Xiaoming, he remained remarkably composed even when asked for an autograph.

He even shared his own thoughts.

"If possible, please let the Clay Golem and I take a picture together! But I'd prefer it to be after the battle—"

Xiaoming didn't want Xia Mu to hold back in the fight because of this.

Looking at Xiaoming's politeness, Xia Mu thought of the Pokémon fan fiction she had read a long, long time ago.

In those books, Xiaoming is often portrayed as a villain because of his sarcastic personality and his past act of whipping a pangolin into the water.

But now.

"You've grown up!"

???

Looking into Xia Mu's fatherly gaze, Xiao Ming felt incredibly awkward.

No, is there something wrong with this guy?

But compared to these, what he cares about more is...

"Did you know me before?"

Xia Mu smiled, seemingly recalling the times she and her friends would gather around the TV to watch anime.

"A long, long time ago, I heard rumors that you had established an informal dojo in the Kanto region—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming, who had maintained a tough-guy demeanor throughout, showed a rare expression of embarrassment.

He used to be quite arrogant, believing that traveling casually was meaningless. Therefore, he made a vow not to travel until he had won a hundred consecutive games.

He believed that as long as he could achieve a hundred consecutive wins, winning the badge to participate in the tournament or winning the tournament would be a piece of cake.

In order to find enough opponents, he even created an unofficial gym. However, he only discovered this after defeating Ash and Team Rocket to achieve a 100-win streak.

What kind of monsters and demons are the dojo masters in the Kanto region?

The violent Lt. Surge was alright, but the Ground-type Sandshrew had a type advantage and successfully passed.

Upon arriving in Saffron City, he was immediately turned into a doll by the Gym Leader after his defeat. Although he was later released by the cheerful Sabrina and even received a badge, Xiaoming was not happy at all at the time.

Believing that his opponent was cheating by using superpowers, he decided to go to Viridian City to challenge "Giantsa the Earth" in order to prove himself. There, he encountered a strange Pokémon called "Mewtwo".

After a series of defeats, he became withdrawn and took his Pokémon to Viridian Forest for special training.

When I thought I was strong enough, I came out to find that the dojo was closed and the tournament was about to start.

His first major tournament seemed to end in a disappointing fashion.

From then on, he became much more reserved.

Of course, Xia Mu had no idea about the guy's experience of being beaten up. He looked at Xiao Ming, who seemed to be lost in his memories, and then looked at the battlefield where there were still people.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go to the side to answer a phone call first.

"Moshi moshi!"

The person who contacted Xia Mu by phone was her long-lost recording engineer brother, who brought her some good news.

Through his efforts.

The song "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon," which took Xia Mu countless brain cells to create, has finally completed all post-production.

"Being able to participate in the completion of such a song means I have no regrets in my music career."

After the sound engineer hung up the phone, Xia Mu immediately waved excitedly.

"Yay! Finally, I can release songs and make money!"

When will you release a song?

Wearing sunglasses and a white sun hat, Karuni stealthily appeared beside Natsuki.

Because she ate a bit too much for lunch, Karuni had to go for a walk in this situation to try and burn some calories.

But during her walk, she suddenly thought of Xia Mu and the others. Her curiosity got the better of her, so she decided to come and see for herself what Xia Mu and the others were doing.

As soon as they arrived at Xia Mu's place, they heard Xia Mu's excited whisper.

Natsuki looked in the direction of the sound and saw Karuni, who appeared to be in disguise.

Why do we say it seems to be disguised?

That's because this guy didn't even change his clothes!

She was wearing the same clothes as before, except for a pair of large sunglasses and a sun hat. Karuni looked exactly the same as before.

but.

After Natsuki noticed that other people's gazes swept over Karuni without lingering, he knew...

That's a perfect disguise!

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, Rockets trio!

Although his mind was wandering to all sorts of random thoughts, in order to improve Karuni's favorability, Xia Mu immediately began to explain to Karuni.

Upon hearing what Xia Mu said, Karuni's eyes immediately filled with curiosity.

A song you wrote yourself?

"May I listen to it?"

"certainly!"

Xia Mu was hoping that Karuni would help him promote his business.

Without hesitation, Xia Mu directly sent the song file that the recording engineer had just sent him to Karuni.

Karuni also skillfully put on the headphones.

Just as Xia Mu was about to hear Karuni's evaluation...

The pair of trainers ahead of Natsuki had already finished their battle.

"Natsuki, it's your turn. Get ready for the match!"

"They're here!"

Urged on by the referee, Xia Mu quickly walked over.

At this moment, all he wanted was to end the battle as quickly as possible, then enjoy Karuni's adoration, and even better, get some publicity for himself. "Excuse me, I'll be leaving for a bit!"

...

At this moment, Natsuki did not notice that the moment the song's intro began, Karuni seemed to be completely immersed in the song.
