In the end, Xiaozhi followed Xiaolan to the Ocean Museum.
Xiaolan didn't say anything, she just sat on the bench next to her, holding her cheek, staring longingly at Xiaozhi's various trainings.
After a stalemate for a while, Xiaozhi, who was stared at all over, could only sigh and reluctantly agreed.
"Strong chickens, I really envy you for being able to focus on special training... Then you can continue to work hard and don't pay attention to me~"
So under the attention of his group of single Pokémon and the passers-by around him, Xiaozhi followed Xiaolan out of the gym with a grimace.
"Damn it, this kid!!"
"I really want to beat him!!"
After Xiaozhi left, many people in the gym cursed him directly.
Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, and what supports them to continue exercising here is not willpower, self-discipline and moral character...
Because I am single.
...
Museum of Marine Science.
This is a fee-based museum that includes many sea-related exhibits.
For example, ocean water quality, soil, ocean Pokémon models, etc... Even models of giant oil tankers and submarines from the Fangyuan area are on display.
When Xiaozhi and the two handed their tickets to the front desk lady at the door for inspection, they entered the museum.
"Two respected guests, please remember to take good care of your Pokémon and do not urinate or defecate anywhere in the museum~"
A front desk lady reminded me with a smile.
Pikachu: "?"
Why did I feel despised as soon as I came up?
"Wow~! Is this the Ocean Museum~!"
However, Xiaolan just took Xiaozhi's arm and hurriedly walked into the museum.
At this moment, the maritime museum seems to have a special theme for Chinese Valentine's Day because of today's festival.
On every water-filled fish tank on display, there are pairs of loving fish swimming around, kissing on the mouth from time to time, looking sweet and cute.
This is a large two-story building. There is not a lot of traffic at the moment. It seems that people in Kaina City also have the habit of visiting museums during festivals.
Basically every few meters, various strange and bizarre underwater things are displayed. The huge deep water pressure creates a scene completely different from that on land.
"What does Chinese Valentine's Day mean...?"
Compared to the museum, Xiaozhi is more interested in this festival. He has never heard of it in the Kanto region.
Hearing this, Xiaolan also shook her head. This did not seem to be a festival in the Fangyuan area.
"Didi. Qixi Festival, this is a special festival in a remote and mysterious area. It tells the love story between a fairy and a farmer who raises Kentero~"
The illustration recognized Xiaozhi's question and answered it thoughtfully.
"Due to unknown reasons, the two of them were forced to live in the sky and on the ground separately, never to be seen again. And Kentero was unable to master the flying skills and could not take this farmer up to the sky."
"So on a specific day every year, a kind-hearted wild steel-armored crow will appear and take farmers to heaven to meet the fairies. This day is also remembered by future generations as Chinese Valentine's Day, symbolizing romantic love."
Hearing this, Xiaozhi scratched his head.
What kind of Pokémon is Armored Crow? Is it a relative of Armored Bird?
And why do you only go up there one day every year? You can completely subdue a bird and go up to the sky anytime, anywhere.
And Kentero should be able to master a flying attribute move - Bounce, right?
"Well, it's a myth, there's nothing to worry about!"
Xiao Lan quickly changed the topic.
This kind of questioning of the mythical love story is an act of arrogance.
With that said, he quickly pulled Xiaozhi and walked towards the inside of the museum.
At this moment, most of the tourists in the museum are couples, cuddling each other and holding hands, which makes the surrounding atmosphere gradually become ambiguous.
"Well, Xiaozhi..."
Seeing this, Xiaolan's face turned red and she wanted to say something.
But at this time, Xiaozhi suddenly discovered something, leaving the former behind and hurried over.
"Hey Blue, there's a big Pokémon here!!"
Xiaozhi did not forget to shout loudly.
On the booth in front of him, he saw a small mountain-sized Pokémon model, which looked like a huge blue whale.
Howling Whale King, a one-on-one skill set.
Xiao Lan: "..."
Sister Bilan, the museum you mentioned seems to be the wrong place at all...!
...
"twitter!!"
"twitter!!"
The two of them had not been shopping for long when a burst of noisy discussion suddenly came from the direction of the museum entrance.
Xiaozhi poked his head curiously.
But I saw a large circle of people gathered at the ticket check-in area at the door. I don’t know when.
They were all wearing red hooded uniforms and should be members of some organization, there were about twenty people.
"Team Lava...?"
Xiaozhi actually recognized the pattern on them that looked like a volcano and the letter "M".
They were even holding banners and notes in their hands, and they were overwhelmingly advancing, as if there was some kind of protest march going on.
Opening his ears, Xiaozhi heard the protest of this group of Team Lava members.
"Marine Science Museum?! Why not the Land Science Museum!?"
"What are we stepping on now? Is it the ocean?! Ungrateful humans!!"
“Boycott the Maritime Museum!!”
“Strongly demand to be converted into a land museum!!”
The huge crowds of people shouting and protesting immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
The two front desk ladies obviously couldn't resist the attack of the members of Team Lava, and within a short time all the soldiers of Team Lava rushed in.
The kind that didn’t buy a ticket.
"Hey, hey, hey! Respect Mother Earth!"
"Is the ocean your father? What's there to see?"
As soon as they entered the museum, the lava team's soldiers spread out and shouted loudly, specifically to harass the tourists who were visiting.
It seems that this group of people had planned it in advance and specifically chose the Chinese Valentine's Day, a day with a large flow of people.
"Hey! Mother Earth is crying. What are you doing so close to me?!"
"No love!"
"Chinese Valentine's Day is a good day to break up!"
During this period, many lava team soldiers turned into human body shields and inserted themselves between many tourist couples.
In addition to their faith in Groudon, the God of the Earth, Team Lava was also formerly known as the 3F group that specialized in resisting the destruction of love.
The fiery red uniform also symbolizes the torch they hold in their hands to represent judgment when facing the sweet couple.
One of the brawny Lava Team soldiers finally set his sights on Xiaozhi and Xiaolan.
Especially when he saw the cute and pretty Xiao Lan, a ball of anger arose in his heart for no reason.
"Hey, hey, hey! You two, how old are you? You should learn how to fall in love with adults!!"
He yelled loudly, trying to get in between the two of them.
Damn it, I have been single for twenty years, and now this kid starts falling in love in his early teens!!
"..."
Hearing this, Xiaolan's face turned red, and she couldn't help but feel a little more kind to the lava mass.
