Chapter 120 Xia Mu's Show-Off

Under these circumstances, Xia Mu and his friends finally found a cold drink shop with empty seats.

Hot summer day.

It all comes down to having delicious ice cream, and then using those sips of coolness to quench the heat in your heart.

"Good morning, United Nations! I have ice cream now! I love ice cream!"

·......

The receptionist looked at Natsuki with a strange expression as he started speaking in a weird tone after receiving the ice cream.

On the contrary, Xiaoyao and Zi, who were used to this, smiled politely at the young lady and then pulled Xia Mu to sit down in a nearby seat.

"Please, I'm begging you, please don't do these weird things in front of others again—"

Hearing Xiaoyao's complaints, Xia Mu blushed.

"Wow, that's so domineering! I never knew you were so possessive, Haruka!"

Xiaoyao:

"...——."

He clenched his fist, then couldn't help but let it relax.

Xiaoyao took a deep breath.

"Calm down, calm down, hitting this guy will just give him a good time!"

Thinking that her outburst might be a reward for Xia Mu, Xiao Yao finally restrained herself.

One bite after another.

Xiaoyao ate her ice cream in big bites, trying to suppress her anger with the coolness.

Seeing this, Zi Deng, who was biting her spoon, nodded silently.

Yes, that's right, that's exactly it!

You must stay calm, Haruka!!

Natsuki was somewhat disappointed that despite his best efforts to act shamelessly, he hadn't heard a single "Are you sick?" from Haruka.

She glanced at Haruka and Yukari, who were silently eating their ice cream, and then at Shin-chan, who was practically burying her head in her ice cream.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Mu decided to let them off the hook for the time being.

There are always opportunities to flirt with the two girls, but if I don't eat ice cream now, it'll melt!

If it melts, the taste will be bad. If the taste is bad, it's like the product doesn't match the description, and if the product doesn't match the description, you'll lose money.

Thinking of all this, Xia Mu immediately started eating heartily, not wanting to be outdone.

With her efforts, Xia Mu quickly devoured the large strawberry parfait in front of her, tossed the spoon into the clean glass, and listened to the crisp echo of the spoon hitting the glass. Xia Mu then slumped into the chair in the ice cream shop.

"Ah~ I feel alive again!"

Seeing this, Zi Deng, who was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Seriously, is it really that exaggerated?"

"It's that exaggerated!"

Xia Mu gave a thumbs up and raised his eyebrows smugly.

Even though the sweets had calmed her anger, Haruka couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Look at you, so cocky!"

Hehehe!

With their spirits lifted, the group left the ice cream shop after paying their bill and headed to the Pokémon Center in Kagome Town.

Perhaps due to the upcoming Junior Cup, the number of trainers that the Kagome Town Pokémon Center needs to accommodate has increased significantly, therefore,

Upon entering the Pokémon Center, Natsuki witnessed a rare scene where multiple Nurse Joys were greeting trainers together.

"Sorry, there are no rooms available at the Pokémon Center!"

Xia Mu had barely stepped up to the counter and hadn't even had a chance to speak when a woman named Joey delivered the devastating news.

Xia Mu looked shocked, her eyes filled with sorrow that her little money was about to fly away again.

I'll have to spend money to find a hotel again!

However, Xia Mu suppressed this sorrow in her heart, after all, she had something more important to do now.

"Miss Nurse Joy, could you please give my Pokémon a checkup?"

"OK!"

Xia Mu put the new leaf cat back into its Poké Ball, and then handed the cat, the snake, and the newly hatched Delicious over to Nurse Joy.

Joy handed the plate containing three Poké Balls to the nearby Doll and then looked at Natsuki.

"Received, please wait a moment!"

"Thanks!"

Natsuki, who had lived at the Pokémon Center for a long time, did not crowd in front of the counter during this busy time.

After thanking Miss Joey, Xia Mu immediately went to the nearby rest area and found Xiao Yao and Zi, who were watching the big screen.

The television was broadcasting a segment about the Youth Cup.

The full name of the Junior Cup is the Pokémon World Championship Junior Cup, so trainers from all regions can sign up to participate.

Moreover, although this cup competition has only been established for a short time, it is of a very high standard.

The first Youth Cup invited then-Unova champion Alder as a special guest, and also invited Sinnoh champion Cynthia and Unova Elite Four member Cattleya to perform an opening exhibition match.

This year, Wanlong and Karuni, the champion of the Carlos region, were invited as guests for the opening match.

Of course, most importantly, the prize money for this youth cup is very generous.

"I'm definitely going to participate, what about you guys?"

Faced with Xia Mu's question, Xiao Yao and Zi hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"After all, we've come this far—"

"Participating in these kinds of events occasionally might be quite fun!"

After hearing the two girls' affirmative answers, Xia Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, then Xia Mu's team's goal is to sweep the top three spots!"

Sometimes, Xiaoyao and Zi really envied Xia Mu's confidence.

And just then...

"Xia Mu from Raven City, your Pokémon check-up is complete. Please come to the counter to collect your Pokémon!"

"Xia Mu from Raven City, your Pokémon check-up is complete. Please come to the counter to collect your Pokémon!"

Upon hearing the voice coming from the loudspeaker, Xia Mu couldn't continue chatting with Xiao Yao and Zi.

"By the way, the Pokémon Center is fully booked today, so remember to look for a place to stay when you have time!"

After saying that, before the two women could reply, Xia Mu quickly ran towards the counter.

A short while later, Xia Mu saw the three little ones sitting boredly by the counter, fiddling with their Poké Balls.

"Meow?"

Before Natsuki could speak, Shin-Ye-Nyan seemed to have sensed Natsuki's arrival, immediately perked up her ears, and then turned to look in Natsuki's direction.

"Meow!"

Without even caring about its Poké Ball, Newleafy leaped out and scrambled onto Natsuki's shoulder, then began rubbing its furry face against him.

Seeing this, the Green Vine Snake shook its head helplessly.

When will this silly girl ever become a little more ladylike?

After picking up the Poké Balls of Meowth and Dewprik with Vine Whip, Snake expertly returned all three Poké Balls to Natsuki's bag.

"Thank you, Green Vine Snake!"

"despair!"

The Green Vine Snake crossed its arms and nodded.

Upon seeing this scene, even the well-behaved sea lion, Ball Ball, which had been lying obediently on the counter, couldn't help but raise its head and call out softly to Xia Mu twice.

"Please!"

Natsuki, Natsuki, I'm being very obedient, I'm not scared at all!

"Mmm, the Ball Ball Sea Lion is great too!"

Xia Mu chuckled and rubbed the little blue head of the sea lion, Qiuqiu, before suddenly pausing.

eh?

This feel—

Xia Mu couldn't help but rub it a few more times, and Qiu Qiu the sea lion, sensing this, couldn't help but squint its eyes happily.
