Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

"Scrape hiss (/

/o/ω/o/

/)”

Gastly blushed and scratched its head sheepishly.

Kalu is a faith, while Kiku is just a hobby.

"Alright, alright, Raven City, right?" Lu Yuan closed the photo album and put it away.

"The conditions are acceptable, but this photo book is too explicit. You're still a kid, it's not suitable for you. I'll confiscate it for now and return it to you when you grow up."

"Scrape hiss (。ò)"

?

ó。 ）”

Gastly was instantly petrified.

When...when will I be considered grown up?

Lu Yuan chuckled and patted Gastly's head: "Silly child, in my eyes you'll always be a little devil."

"Squeak (?_?)"

Does that mean I'll never get it back? (?_?)

Lu Yuan then looked at the other Pokémon. Chansey was wiping the purple slime off Riolu Egg's surface, Litten was playing with a ball of yarn on its belly, and Vulpix was sleeping in his arms.

Seeing that no one had any other opinions, Lu Yuan prepared to report it to the group.

At that moment, a message popped up.

[Ordinary Wind Fairy: Master Lu, did I use the method you gave me to fight my sister today?]

[Sunny young man: Did we win?]

[Ordinary Wind Fairy: No.]

[Sunny young man: We lost?]

[The ordinary wind sprite: No, not really.]

There was neither a win nor a loss, could it be a draw?

[Ordinary Wind Fairy: It's a draw.]

It shouldn't be.

Lu Yuan pondered, resting his chin on his hand. "With a toxic Pokémon like Whimsicott and my personal guidance, we're guaranteed at least a top 16 finish in the League Tournament."

How could it be ineffective against a little girl with little combat experience?

Masaka!

He also received advice from an expert on the other side!

Interesting. It's rare to find someone whose tactics are on par with mine. To be honest, Lu Yuan is quite interested in meeting them.

[Ordinary Wind Fairy: After the draw, my sister said she wanted to have another match with me. This time she said it would be a doubles match and she had already found a partner. I didn't agree at first, but she tricked me into agreeing... (Wind Fairy pokes her little hand.jpg)]

[Sunny boy: So you want me to help you in your match?]

[Ordinary Wind Sprite: I'm sorry for acting without your permission, but this ranch is really important to me. If you're willing to help me, I'll agree to any request you make. (Wind Sprite begging.jpg)]

Any request is acceptable...

[Sunny boy: What do you take me for? (Chicken egg pumps its fist.jpg)]

[Sunny boy: But since any request is acceptable, I'm actually quite interested in Whimsicott too. (Gengar rubbing its little hands.jpg)]

[Ordinary Wind Fairy: No problem, the ranch just happens to have a batch of cotton ball eggs recently.]

[Sunny Boy: In that case, I can agree to the doubles match, but I have to go to Unova soon, so it might be a little later.]

[Ordinary Whimsicott: What a coincidence! My home is in Unova, right next to the Whimsicott Airport – that's my Whimsicott Farm.]

[Sunny boy: In that case, I'll come see you again tomorrow.]

After the conversation ended, Lu Yuan added another item to the itinerary.

Actually, it's fine if we don't add it. We already booked the airport in Fukiyoshi City, and we just stopped at a ranch next door on the way.

I won't be home tomorrow, so the dojo will have to temporarily close.

Xiao Lan gets a holiday again; she really gets all the good things in the world.

See what she's doing; get Rotom to connect to the security room's surveillance cameras.

Inside the spacious security room, Xiao Lan was sitting upright in a chair, looking very serious.

Something's not right, something's definitely not right!

How could Little Blue be so obedient as to sit quietly in the chair and watch the door? Let Rotom zoom in with the camera.

The high-definition camera footage was incredibly clear. When zoomed in, Lu Yuan saw that the little blue thing on the chair was all limp and squishy, ​​like a slime that had come to life. Upon closer inspection of its eyes, he discovered...

That's a damn beady eye!

Great, let Ditto become my absentee.

"Arrest team, assemble!"

Lu Yuan shouted towards the backyard, and soon a few moments later, small Ghost-type Pokémon such as Misdreavus, Night Patrol, Shedinja, Sableye, and Corsola appeared in front of Lu Yuan.

They were all members of the arrest team assembled by Lu Yuan, originally intended to use the stealth ability of Ghost-type Pokémon to arrest criminals for Officer Jenny.

But to everyone's surprise, there were hardly any wanted criminals in the town.

So the arrest team became a sinecure, and they usually just helped arrest the striking blue-clad guys.

"Go quickly and bring Xiao Lan to me!" Lu Yuan took out an energy cube and a picture of Xiao Lan and said to the Ghost-type Pokémon.

The ghost-type sprites took the energy cube and the photo, and one by one they passed through the wall and ran to the town.

They love this kind of job that allows them to earn energy cubes and go out to play at the same time.

Soon after, Little Blue was discovered by Dream Demon in a coffee shop.

The clever dream demon did not act rashly. It knew that it could not capture Little Blue on its own, so it secretly gathered its companions.

Once everything was ready, Misdreavus first used Startle on Blue to catch her off guard, and then Nightwatch and Sableye used Thief to steal the Poké Ball from Blue's pocket.

While Xiao Lan was reaching for her pocket, the strange light of the Shedding Shell Ninja struck her steadily, confusing her. Finally, Sun Coral used a freezing spell to immobilize her.

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, the five elves rushed forward, worked together to carry Little Blue, and quickly left the coffee shop.

The whole process was clean, efficient, and seamless, without even causing a commotion in the coffee shop.

Five minutes later, just five minutes later, Xiao Lan was brought in front of Lu Yuan.

Look at this work efficiency! If Xiao Lan could be half as good as a Ghost-type Pokémon, Lu Yuan would be burning incense in gratitude.

He looked at Xiao Lan, who had a stubborn expression on her face, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Do you know where you went wrong?

"Tch, I only missed three days of work this month, is it really that big of a deal?" Xiao Lan turned her head away nonchalantly, secretly regretting her actions.

I should have disguised myself before going out today.

Three days!

Upon hearing Xiao Lan's words, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in a higher voice:

"That's because only three days of this month have passed!"

Lu Yuan gently rubbed his forehead with a headache, a helpless look on his face, and slowly said, "Hey, I'm going to Hezhong tomorrow. You take good care of the house while I'm gone."

"Really!" Xiao Lan was overjoyed at first, but then immediately realized something was wrong. She suppressed her smile, pretended to be sad and upset, and asked cautiously, "Really?"

Then she patted her chest and assured them:

"Don't worry, I will get up on time every day to manage the dojo while you're away, and I will not let those few in the backyard run wild."

Ha, how did you manage to hold back your laughter when you said that?

Lu Yuan chuckled and patted Xiao Lan on the shoulder: "I'm relieved to hear you say that. By the way, I'll have the Dream Fairies and the others keep a close eye on you during this time, so don't even think about slacking off."

"Dream~"

Upon hearing this, the dream demon grinned, showing its large teeth.

Great, I can earn more energy blocks now.

Chapter 78 Fukiyose City

Curtain City Airport.

Lu Yuan, holding a Riolu egg, sat early in the waiting area, waiting for everyone.

Inside the egg, Riolu also didn't waste a single second training.
