Eminem and Xiaoxia failed to meet Bajir at Bailu Lake. He seemed to be looking for the [Water Stone], but missed Eminem and Xiaoxia every time...
Of course, Eminem and Xiaoxia didn’t really want to meet this unparalleled “future champion”.
Needless to say, Eminem, in order to [become an excellent trainer], is also determined to win this rookie competition. Even though he knows that there are dangers ahead, he has no intention of giving up the championship to others. Xiaoxia is also holding back her energy.
Now the two of them are definitely no match for Bagir, and there is no need to see him.
I didn’t go with Xiaozhi and the other three. After all, if there were too many people in the group, they would influence each other to conquer the Pokémon...
Moreover, the route of Xiaozhi and his party is very confusing. He has already reached the northernmost city of Nibi, and now he has come back. It is said that he fell into a large gopher cave on the way and walked back without knowing how, and he and Eminem walked back.
, Xiaoxia is definitely not going along the way.
Although Eminem and Xiaoxia were both very greedy for Xiaogang's craftsmanship, they still gave up.
Xiaoxia also learned a lesson this time. Before leaving, she packed a day's worth of sandwiches from the small restaurant in the camping area. Even if they were eaten cold, she had to wait a day before starting to compete with convenience foods.
After leaving Bailu Lake, Amu and Xiaoxia continued north, preparing to go to Jiantian City not far away.
The straight-line distance is actually very short, but... Jiantian City is surrounded by mountains. Although it is not a high mountain, it is still difficult to walk on the sloped mountain road.
And just in the evening of the third day, the weather suddenly changed...
"Oops, there's something bad about this little wind." Eminem noticed the coolness in the wind, which seemed like it was going to rain.
And when he turned around and looked around, he saw a dark cloud approaching.
Although Pokémon also have the ability to change the "weather", it is actually just a regional change - not only is it a matter of area, but it is also not very high. It is generally the size of a playing field, with a height of more than ten meters...
It is said that some mythical beasts can truly change the weather, or even the "climate"!
"Ah! There is a villa over there... Let's go there to take shelter from the rain first." When Xiaoxia looked around, she vaguely saw a villa on another adjacent hill between the shadows of the trees.
"Well, I hope it's not too late... I don't know if anyone is here." Eminem said with some worry.
This place is not far from Kantian City, and there are no large Pokémon such as trap bears living nearby. A simple pull of the iron fence can ensure the basic safety of the building. It is not surprising that there are villas.
However, this kind of villa is usually used for vacations and may be idle most of the time.
"It doesn't matter if there's no one around. I'm just taking shelter from the rain." Xiaoxia said matter-of-factly.
Indeed, it is common for travelers to use this kind of outdoor house to take shelter from the rain. Even when no one is around, the entrance door is usually left open.
"Huh? It seems that you can't go up that mountain. You have to go from... this way." When Eminem walked through the woods, he found the correct route.
The hill where this villa is located is quite steep. You have to go up from the other side and then walk across the suspension bridge.
Eminem and Xiaoxia were very lucky. Just as they were walking onto the suspension bridge, there was a loud thunder and heavy rain started.
When running across the suspension bridge, Eminem and Xiaoxia happened to see the lights on the first floor turn on. It seemed like someone...
Xiaoxia, who was still running quickly, suddenly hesitated. Eminem thought she was tired, so he pulled her and ran over.
"Wait..." Xiaoxia hesitated, but didn't say anything.
So after the two of them hid under the gate, Eminem said matter-of-factly: "It seems someone is here. Let's knock on the door first."
"Wait a minute..." Xiaoxia couldn't help but said.
After hearing this, Eminem looked over curiously, but Xiaoxia just turned her head slightly and said: "How about... don't disturb others."
Eminem was confused for a while, and then said with strange eyes: "Xiaoxia, aren't you... afraid of ghosts?"
"No!" Xiaoxia immediately retorted.
"Don't worry, this place is not far from Jiantian City, and...even if there is a ghost, it must be a ghost-type Pokémon. I'm worried that I can't find it!" Eminem said in a confident tone.
It is true that places like "abandoned villas in the wilderness" can easily inhabit ghost-type Pokémon.
More importantly, it's okay if it's definitely a ghost-type Pokémon. People who are afraid of ghosts are generally more afraid of "ghosts" that cannot be explained by ghost-type Pokémon.
According to the official statement, there are no "ghosts" in this world, only ghost-type Pokémon. There is even a program "Into the Ghost-type" to explain some situations.
Before Xiaoxia could say anything else, Eminem had already knocked on the door.
Dong dong dong——
"Is anyone here? Can you lend us shelter from the rain?" Eminem said while knocking on the door.
Immediately there were footsteps, and the person who opened the door was a young woman - since she was "young", of course she was older than Eminem and Xiaoxia.
"Ah! Are you a traveling trainer passing by? Please come in."
The woman who opened the door had a gentle smile, short hair that was not too long, and tied it into a high ponytail behind her head with a pink hairband. She was also wearing a pale pink dress - judging by her attire, she must have just arrived.
Soon, it wasn’t just home clothes.
But Eminem didn't pay attention to her clothes. Instead, he stared at her face and took a closer look.
"What's wrong?" the young woman asked in confusion upon seeing this.
"Hey!" Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and poked Eminem on the side, indicating that it was not polite for him to stare at others like this.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I feel like you look familiar... Thank you." Eminem thanked him and walked in.
"Really? But I don't have any impression." The young woman seemed to have really recalled it and said.
The woman in the pink skirt looked older than Eminem and Xiaoxia, probably in her twenties. Indeed, Eminem didn't remember that he knew her.
At this time, another square-faced man of about the same age came over and said jokingly: "Kid, are you trying to strike up a conversation? Hahaha... Ayako, you are really charming."
"Hiroki!" The woman in the pink skirt waved her hand with a slight complaint.
"Ayako?" Eminem was stunned when he heard the words, and he felt more and more familiar.
When Ayako heard this, she was about to ask doubtfully if she really knew her, when she heard footsteps coming from upstairs, and then in the open corridor on the second floor, someone leaned down the railing and asked, "Huh?"
Sister, there are other guests...ah!"
The other party exclaimed when he saw Eminem.
Xiaoxia also recognized this person at this time, and Eminem finally understood where the familiarity just came from...
"Garden?"
"Xiaoxia? Eminem?"
"I see! Miss Ayako is Sonoko's sister, right? I feel a little familiar..." Eminem said matter-of-factly.
Eminem is slightly face-blind...
So as long as people are slightly similar, in Eminem's opinion, they will be doubly confused!
