Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 326 Miss Naqi’s Birthday Night (45) ()

Ahida is overworked.

Huayue is training with three kindergarten children.

Xiao Ji is designing a battle facility with Yashida, which seems to be called a battle pipeline.

People in the village also have their own things to do, and many people who have been displaced are returning one after another. Places that are undergoing regeneration are always busy.

Early in the morning, Lai went out to sea in a mysterious way, saying that he was going to do some special training and wanted to go with him, but he would not let him say anything.

Miss Naki fell into a strange state of inactivity.

Looking at the empty room and courtyard, thinking about today's date, December 12th, Miss Naqi had a faint expectation in her heart.

Lai, this guy, has been sneaking around for several days since the end of the special training in the middle of the month, leaving early in the morning and returning late in the evening without seeing anyone, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

Are you preparing some birthday surprise?

If this is the case, it doesn't mean that he can't be forgiven for his neglect these days.

Sitting at the small round table in the yard, with her delicate chin gently supported by her bare hands, Naqi's eyes were wandering, and her mind was wandering to no one knows where.

Of course, Miss Naqi, who has always been independent and confident, will definitely not admit her petty thoughts.

"Boom"

He kicked a pebble away and watched it hit the stone wall, making a slightly dull sound.

In the sky, the rising sun was high, and the brilliant warm sun dispelled the chill of the earth. Only the occasional breeze blew by, bringing with it a bit of coolness from the sea.

In the room, the clock had just quietly crossed the tenth mark.

"Swish"

He stood up holding the table, and his thick coat rubbed against the edge of the table, making a soft sound.

Still need to go out for a walk and find something to do.

Thinking of this, Miss Naqi raised her head slightly, tightened the scarf around her neck, walked out of the courtyard, and walked around the village.

······
Snake Island Beach.

"Qixi blue bird, continue to practice spraying flames."

"Big-billed Owl, get familiar with the wet rocks that Lai brought back, practice with rainfall, and practice farther away."

"Great King Yan, you take the tropical dragon and the armored bird to practice Yan Hui."

"Kuailong, go practice freezing beam."

After arranging for the six partners except the buzzing bats to start practicing, Miss Naqi sat on the beach bored.

"Swish"

"puff"

A piece of gravel was thrown into the water, making a slight splash.

Holding her jade cheek gently, Miss Naqi recalled the experience she had just experienced in the village.

······
"I'm really sorry. I have to go out to Maple Island with Miss Xiao Ji in a while. There are still some design issues for the battle facilities that have not been finalized, so I can't accompany you. I guess Lai will be back soon, right?"

"Need help? I can send you there."

"No need, it's just right for the two of us to go there in the Gyarados, so I won't bother you."

······
"Eh? Naqi, let's not fight today. I'm a little tired from playing every day. Why don't you take a day off?"

"Speaking of which, your buzz bat has been improving quite quickly recently. After a while, you should be able to train with King Yan together."

"Dori!"

Doron Mecia quickly flew over, lay on Naqi's shoulder, and rubbed her little fighter-shaped head affectionately.

But soon, it flew into the woods again and started training with the Arbo monster, which had greatly increased its strength after evolution.

······
I had been busy every day before, and almost always revolved around Lai. Once I was free, I didn't know what to do.

I don’t know why, but everyone seems to be still busy, and they are avoiding me intentionally or unintentionally.

······
"We're going back."

Standing up and dusting herself off, Nachi called to the Pokémon who were still training.

Doubtful glances came one after another.

Training just started not long ago?
Even if you are eating, you should eat here, right?

"Everyone is tired, let's take a day off."

With that said, she turned around and walked towards the direction of the village.Several Pokémon looked at each other and hurried back together.

······
After a simple lunch, lie down on a soft bed.

The weather was perfect, and the afternoon sunlight gently filtered into the room through the cracks in the curtains and onto the floor.

The warm and soft quilt covers you, and there is silence inside and outside the house.

Ordinarily, it is a very suitable state for taking a nap.

"Well"

I took out the illustrated book from the bedside, but there was still no trace of any message on it.

"woo"

The quilt gently covered the girl's head, and a gentle hum came from it.

Although she also knew that her current thoughts were a little willful, she still couldn't suppress the disappointment caused by the gap between her inner excitement and reality.

"Swish"

The elf ball bounced open, and the Tanabata Blue Bird jumped out of it. It was a bit helpless, and its soft cotton-like feathers gently brushed Naqi's face.

"Well, it's better for you, Qixi Blue Bird."

The smooth arms stretched out from the quilt and hugged the Chinese Valentine's Day Bluebird. The fluffy and warm Chinese Valentine's Day Bluebird was even warmer than inside the quilt.

······
It was almost dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and there was a bit of coolness in the air.

"Happy birthday to you, dear daughter!"

On the other side of the illustrated book, Mo Shu and his wife Mio were celebrating the birthday of their daughter who was far away from home in a warmly decorated home.

"No, Naqi, why don't you look happy? Where is Rai? Where has this child gone?"

As a mother, Mio immediately noticed that something was slightly wrong with her daughter.

"Ah? No, I just woke up not long ago! Let him have a good rest and prepare things by himself. We will have a small celebration tonight! There is not much of anything in the place where we are staying temporarily. , he needs to prepare alone."

Feeling the dissatisfaction hidden under her father's slightly frowned brow, Naqi immediately put on a happy face, explained, and covered up for Lai.

"Oh, that's it, then this kid is serious. If he dares to forget my baby daughter's birthday, I will not forgive him!"

Mo Shu believed it to be true and let it go for now.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Where is the gift? You old fool, you must have left it upstairs! Go and take out the gift for your daughter. Go!"

"Oh, look at my memory. Naqi, please wait for me for a while. I will go upstairs and get it for you. When you get home, you will be very happy to see the real thing!"

Mo Shu was driven upstairs by his wife and disappeared from the screen.

Mio asked softly: "Where did that child Lai go? You are my daughter, you can't lie to me."

"I don't know either," Naqi said in a low voice, "I haven't seen him often since the past few days. He has been in special training since he came back from overseas."

Mio was about to say something when Mo Shu from upstairs had already walked down happily, shouting as he walked: "I spent a lot of effort to get this, you must be satisfied!"

Walking into the picture, Mo Shu opened a suitcase with great satisfaction.

There are six crystal clear feathers inside.

"The feather of the highest quality ability, just to supplement the foundation of your armored bird!"

This was a casual remark Naqi made at the beginning of the year, but her parents never expected that she would always remember it.

"Okay, I think it's time for you young people to start celebrating. Your mother and I won't be so annoying anymore. Have fun! If you encounter any problems, tell me as soon as possible. If that brat dares to bully you , I will kill him as soon as possible to help you teach him a lesson!"

······
After hanging up the phone, Naqi walked to the window.

She could vaguely hear that after a day's work, the village became much more lively.

The sound of conversation and laughter came into her ears.

The last ray of sunshine was about to disappear, making this small courtyard feel particularly deserted.

Walking outside the house, he released six Pokémon except for Buzzbat, which had not returned yet. The yard became a little livelier.

"It's nothing. We spent our birthday last year in the forest like this."

Comforting herself, Naqi caressed her friends one by one.

They formed a small circle and leaned against Naqi's body.

Her lavender eyes still looked to the distant sky with a bit of hope.

On the table, there is also a recently completed amulet, with traces of blueness flashing on it.
