Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 25 25. The Blooming Season
It wasn't until the sky began to get dark that Lu Qiu walked back to Jihua City.

Without knowing where he was taken by N, he even walked the wrong way for a long time, and finally found the right direction again under the guidance of a wild street sign.

I complained a few words to that person in my heart, and at the same time couldn't help but yawned.

Having not slept all night, Lu Qiu's eyelids were a little shaky due to physical and mental exhaustion.

And the one who had the same situation as him was Xiangwei who had red eyes before.

It's just that the latter has fallen asleep peacefully at this moment, and has also taken the initiative to get back into the elf ball that he didn't like in the past.

It seemed that it hadn't recovered from the blow it had suffered, and it only said hello to Lu Qiu hastily before going in.

I didn't try to comfort him, or rather I didn't know how to speak because of guilt.

Seriously, Nyan Xiangwei carried out all the instructions supernaturally.

The final failure, in the final analysis, all depends on the trainer's inconsideration.

If you can take the site into consideration.
'Lessons don't taste good. '

With a wry smile, Lu Qiu, who was walking alone on the street, couldn't help but look around.

For the city, last night's fire also had a big impact.

Simply because the location is close to the sea, the fires in several places were extinguished by the residents who found them before they ignited. Otherwise, God knows how many more troubles will arise.

It can only be said that under the long-planned situation, the Rockets seized the opportunity too well.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiu's expression inevitably became a little heavy.

His hands were subconsciously clenched tightly.

"Team Rocket."

While chanting the name softly, Lu Qiu suddenly regretted it.

On the way to the Pokémon Center, when passing by the city that was on fire last night.

As far as the eye can see, most of the blooming flowers before have been burnt to ashes. With the help of Pokémon, people are working together to clean up and rebuild the city. Their expressions and conversations are more or less full of gratitude and complaints. mean.

There is loss and regret in the eyes, but there is no sorrow.

As if the fire was just fire and not some disaster that destroyed cities and festivals.

"Let me tell you, if all my carp kings hadn't been bought before, the fire would not be a problem at all!"

Amidst the busy sound, some strange remarks like this can be heard occasionally.

Lu Qiu glanced over there, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Although the carp king before evolution was very weak, what if that uncle sells all the stubble who can fire water cannons.

You must know that even for a Pokémon with an extremely low upper limit like Carp King, there will be a gap between individuals with different talents.

Reality is often more magical than data.

Maybe his carp kings could really do it?
Shaking off the unrealistic fantasies in his mind, Lu Qiu returned to the Pokémon Center following the direction in his memory.

When he got here, he found that the scene was equally miserable, and even the elf ball-shaped sign was mostly burnt black.

At this moment, Joy is standing on the ladder and patching the paint there. Below her, the lucky egg is moving left and right, ready to catch it at any time.

Didn't bother.

Lu Qiu, who was planning to go straight back to the room, caught a glimpse of Yamei's figure out of the corner of his eye, and found that she was arguing with a person whose back was turned to him.

After thinking about it, Lu Qiu simply moved towards her.

"Please don't disturb my work again."

Ami's voice suddenly stopped when she was so noisy.

She saw Lu Qiu walking towards her.

After leaving the cotton velvet hat, the silver-white middle hair just fell to the neck, matched with a pair of eyes of the same color, as if walking out of another world.

A world like a blank sheet of paper.

Seeing her sudden appearance, the person who had been arguing and turned his back to Lu Qiu also slowly turned around.

Walking stick, top hat, and a dark purple close-fitting tuxedo.

Mayor Ji Hai, the one who took care of the contestants last night.

After recognizing him, Lu Qiu slightly bowed and nodded, "Mr. Mayor."

Ji Hai waved his hand and said: "No need to be like this, there is nothing to say last night, I mean I remember you, the one who didn't have time to play in the end, I'm sorry, I brought you a very bad experience."

In response, Lu Qiu smiled and shook his head.

Across Mayor Ji Hai, Lu Qiu looked at Yamei, and was about to explain something, but when the scene of N laughing came to mind, he suddenly felt that no words seemed to be able to make a difference for that person's behavior. excuse.

All practices are based on the heart, what N thinks is correct, and there is no need to rely on explanations to make people understand.

Thinking about this, he paused for a moment, and finally Lu Qiu just said to her calmly: "That person is not the murderer."

Yami's eyes trembled a little after the endless words, she didn't say much, just snorted softly and turned her head away.

"The person you are referring to is Phantom Thief Cat Eight." At this moment, Mayor Ji Hai suddenly interjected and asked.

Nodding, Lu Qiu defaulted to answering.

"If that's the case, then you can rest assured." Ji Hai knocked on his crutches and said with a smile, "We still owe him a championship trophy, and the fragrance of flowers all over the city really keeps this old man awake at night. "

Hearing this, Lu Qiu looked at him suspiciously.

Ji Hai smiled and said nothing, but Yamei, who couldn't stand the tricks, gave an explanation: "Last night, Ms. Junsha caught two arsonists who were about to escape. After cross-examination, I learned that this incident and that Thieves are fine."

At the end, she added dissatisfiedly: "But even so, that person is just a criminal who needs to be punished."

"But thanks to him, miraculously there were no casualties last night." Ji Hai said: "In addition to Mao Ba who was seen and a mysterious boy who helped the police rescue the Pokémon, Junsha also led people to rush Into the last field of fire."

"I didn't communicate in advance but all three locations received assistance. I think, as the mayor, I must personally say thank you to these people."

"Compared with the casualties, the reconstruction of the city is nothing at all, and the losses suffered by the residents will be borne by Jihua City." He continued meaningfully: "The boy left a coat at the scene and was entrusted to put it in the treasure house. Kemeng Center, I don’t know if that brave trainer will go to get it.”

"so"

Seeing the smirk suddenly appearing on Lu Qiu's dazed face, Yamei said angrily, "Where is that guy, Strange Thief Cat Eight?"

"Dead." Lu Qiu relaxed and answered casually.

Ami: "."

"Hey." Ji Hai laughed and said, "Maybe he was arrested by us."

"After all such a big mess happened, our city also needs to save some face."

Hearing this, Lu Qiu nodded cooperatively, "I saw him captured by Miss Junsha last night, and tied up by a round silk spider."

"So that's the case." Mayor Ji Hai pretended to nod suddenly and said, "Thank you for your information. If I didn't say anything, I didn't know that Junsha had hidden such a great contribution."

"grandfather!"

Ami said angrily, "What are you talking about?!"

Lu Qiu looked at Yamei, then at the gentleman who ignored the girl's petty emotions, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sure enough, the outside world is different.

"correct."

After letting go of his tense spirit, Lu Qiu suddenly remembered that he still had something to give to the other party.

Under the watchful eyes of Ami and Ji Hai, he took out two pink petals from his pocket.

A little faint fragrance, vaguely present, but never dissipated.

This was picked by Lu Qiu from the Gracidia flower before handing it over to the Xiemis.

He remembered that two petals had to be removed from the complete flower and handed over to Jihua City.

Ji Hai was taken aback for a moment, then he saw Lu Qiu take out another thing from his pocket.

It was a crumpled paper ticket, with a bit of juice that seemed to have melted and dried on it.

"This is."

He stretched out his hand and slowly wanted to take it.

And at the moment when the petals and paper notes were handed over to Ji Hai, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed.

The two petals turned into a little bit of fluorescence, fluttering upwards until they landed in the clouds.

Ami covered her mouth with her hands to hold back her exclamation.

In Jihua City, all the people, all the Pokémon, all looked up at the same moment.

The fluorescent light fell and sank into the soil. After that, countless green shoots burst out of the rock, pushing away all the dust that was pressed on him.

The fragrance of flowers filled the city again.

Then, it withered instantly.

With the period of flowers blooming and falling, the celebration that belongs to it has come to an end.

Next, all the lives that have witnessed this scene will be together in anticipation, preparing for the next decade.

Holding the activity ticket in his hand that he set up temporarily this year in order to prevent Moon Flower from being bought by people who don't like flowers, Ji Hai tightly grasped the round end of the cane with both hands, forcing himself not to lose his composure.

He saw, on the other side of the clouds hidden under the fragrance of flowers, a group of elf-like figures flew past there.

"It's so good, it's so good"

He kept murmuring.

It was as if he had returned to the moment when he picked off the Moon Flower 40 years ago.

"so good."

With his back to his granddaughter, Ji Hai raised his head and grinned with an extremely ugly smile:
"so good!"
