Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 195 Troublesome guy

Just as Shota was thinking about how to take down Xiao Qian, a sharp voice came in front of him: "Who are you! Why are you here?"

Shota felt that his life might have been too smooth recently, making him a little careless.

But it was not a big problem. Shota looked up and found a woman with curly red hair who looked quite mature.

"Hey! Tell me who you are? Otherwise I'm going to have Tutu attack."

Shota looked at her carefully and finally confirmed that this person should be Akane's friend Kurumi.

Kurumi is the announcer of the broadcast tower. She first appeared in the broadcast tower battle! Beyond Time and Space!!, as the narrator of the radio drama. Facing Musashi's impromptu lines every time, she always managed to smooth things over so that the radio drama could continue. When Team Rocket stole Pikachu, she and the cameraman live broadcast the whole process of Xiaozhi's victory over Team Rocket.

Shota shouted "Genshin Impact" in his heart, and then he started to introduce himself:

"I am Xiao Qian's friend. My name is Xiao Rao. Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Ha—why haven't I heard that Xiao Qian has a male friend? Never mind, even though you're very handsome, I'll still subdue you first."

Just when Walnut was about to order Tutu Dog to take action.

Akane's voice came from behind Shota: "Kurumi, stop it! Koro is my client."

When Hu Tao heard Xiao Qian's voice, she took back the order she was about to give.

However, Walnut seemed to notice something?

He said loudly: "Xiao Qian, why are your eyes so red? Did this boy bully you?"

After hearing what Hu Tao said, Xiao Qian quickly waved her hands and said, "No, it's..."

As if she was thinking of some shameful scenes, Xiao Qian's voice became softer as she spoke.

"It is true. You damned little brat, get ready to go to jail at Junsha Office."

In order to stop the woman's noisy voice, Shota had to use his superpowers to pin her and the Tutu dog to the wall.

"Ah! What's going on? Xiao Qian, I can't move. Run away and call the police."

Shota looked at the struggling woman and rubbed his forehead, feeling that his mood for the day had been ruined.

Fortunately, after a moment of confusion, the matter was finally explained.

……

The three of them sat around a dining table. Shota looked at the already cold lunch, but he didn't mind it and started eating right away.

When Kurumi saw Shota like this, she had no choice but to start apologizing:

"So it was the foam that got into your eyes? I'm so sorry, Xiaorao, I thought you were a bad guy the moment you came in."

After Kurumi apologized to Shota, she turned to Akane and said, "Akane, you didn't explain clearly just now, and I made a false accusation against her."

"You didn't even give me a chance to explain."

Shota and Akane thought so in their hearts.

During the conversation, Kurumi learned that Shota was a traveling trainer and was very powerful. Her eyes lit up involuntarily.

After hesitating for a moment, Kurumi said to Shota, "Recently, the news station broadcast another report about the Scorched Tower. However, Team Rocket's activities in the Poto area have become more frequent and rampant recently, so I hope to have a strong trainer to protect me closely."

After saying this, Kurumi glanced at Shota, but Shota didn't say anything and just kept drinking his authentic Moo Moo milk.

To be honest, this tastes different from the Moo Moo milk I drank before. It has a strong milky flavor and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Looking at Shota who looked like he was enjoying himself, Kurumi felt that her charm had decreased.

Seeing Kurumi falling into self-doubt, Shouta reminded her, "You don't think that just because you said you have a powerful trainer protecting you, you will get it? Take out the reward, hey."

"Ah? Assisting reporters, isn't that what you trainers want?"

"I'm different from other trainers. I don't want to be on TV."

After a pause, Shota continued, "In a word, I'll go if you pay me."

"Aren't you too superficial?"

"Superficial? Don't trainers need to eat? You want a salary, and you want to eat?"

Listening to Shota's words, Kurumi felt speechless. It seemed that she was too arrogant, or no one had ever rejected her.

"Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

Looking at Kurumi who stood up and bent down to apologize, Shota felt that this woman had an acceptable personality.

After apologizing, Walnut sat back in his chair and said, "How about 2000 Alliance Coins?"

"I think the meal Xiao Qian treated me to might cost more than 1000 yuan. Are you such a stingy person?"

Kurumi was speechless, but finally paid 1 Alliance Coins to let Shota become her personal bodyguard for one day.

Although Shota was talking to Kurumi the whole time, his eyes were actually observing Akane's expression.

From the way her eyes kept darting back and forth and her pursed mouth, it was clear that she was angry.

In other words, jealousy.

Even though he hadn't been with Akane for a long time, Shota was the first person to break her state of mind. Coupled with the protection of Tokiwa's power, Shota's image had left a deep impression on Akane's mind.

The reason why I don't take the initiative now is to deepen the impression, just like dealing with an outstanding student.

Another reason is that Shota wants to go see the Scorched Tower and get a new badge there.

……

In the afternoon, the sun set and large patches of fiery clouds appeared on the horizon, as if they were finally going to illuminate the entire sky.

"Will you come back? Actually, what I just made for you at noon was not authentic moo-moo milk."

The meaning was obvious, and Shota certainly knew it, but the trick of playing hard to get always worked.

Shota touched Xiao Qian's head, and her pink hair was a little messy, but Xiao Qian didn't seem to mind. She just lowered her head and buried it in that broad chest.

"Maybe, I may come back, or I may not, but I will participate in this Silver Conference."

I watched Shota get into the radio station's special car and gradually disappear on the roads of Manjin City.

Xiao Qian felt inexplicably lonely and empty inside, as if she had returned to that dark time.

"Xiao Qian, this is the real you, please be proud!"

But when this voice sounded in her heart, her face seemed to regain courage.

She spoke to the big milk can beside her:

"Let's work hard together! Big Milk Tank."

"Miru!"
