I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 39

"Handsome young man, I'm willing to wait for you for eight years."

People who originally wanted to see what songs Xiao Mao could sing were instantly captivated by his voice, especially the girls, whose faces lit up as if he were singing to them.

I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.

"Can love always be pure and without sorrow?"

"I... want to take you cycling."

"I... want to watch baseball with you."

"I want to walk without worries like this... singing songs all the way."

"...!"

When the song reached its climax, Nazi was instantly stunned. Those lyrics were exactly what she and Xiao Mao had experienced together.

We've done everything except watch baseball together.

Instantly, Naz felt a surge of heat in her heart, her heart raced, and her beautiful eyes stared intently at Xiao Mao, her gaze almost piercing.

The girls around you all looked at you, Nazi, with envy. If a boy who sang so well treated them like that, they would want to get married on the spot.

Chapter 55: Jade Rainbow Dojo

I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.

Love cannot be simple and without harm.

"You... lean on my shoulder."

"You... are asleep while my ferocious beast is asleep."

"A life like this... I love you... You love me...!"

When the music ended, Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Jaylen, I'm sorry."

*Smack! Smack! Smack...!*

Applause came from the surrounding area.

"Hey buddy, you sang well, give us another one!"

"Yes, I'd love to hear it again, it's so beautiful."

"...!"

The onlookers were still eager for more and wanted to hear another song, as it was the first time they had ever heard it.

"Thank you for your appreciation. I won't sing this song anymore. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Xiao Mao immediately returned the electric guitar to Takahashi.

Then he recalled all his spirits, took Sabrina's hand, and left.

"Wow, they're holding hands! How romantic!" A young girl in the crowd, who was still quite naive, exclaimed excitedly.

Xiao Mao felt a chill run down his spine. This young girl had no experience; she could get so badly injured just from holding hands. If she had been slapped, she would have fainted from shock.

Back to the Pokémon Center.

Naza was completely stunned. She never expected that Xiao Mao would sing such a song. No matter how she listened to it, it sounded like Xiao Mao was confessing his love to her.

Although Naz had feelings for Xiao Mao, they hadn't known each other for long. The key issue was that Xiao Mao had only sung one song and hadn't actually confessed his feelings to her, leaving Naz feeling uncertain and unsure how to interact with Xiao Mao in the future.

Nazi felt that things couldn't continue like this, as it wasn't in line with her personality, and immediately broke free from Xiao Mao's hand.

"Xiao Mao, what exactly do you mean?" Naz asked.

When Xiao Mao saw that Naza had broken free of his hand, and heard Naza's question, he retorted, "It doesn't mean anything."

"And what about the song you sang?"

That song was sung for you.

Naz frowned slightly, wanting to ask directly, but too embarrassed to speak. She felt a little angry, but couldn't bring herself to be angry. This feeling made Naz restless, like a cat scratching at her.

"Humph!"

Naza snorted coldly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

"Hehe, she's really easy to tease." Xiao Mao watched as Naz's figure disappeared into the elevator.

Having lived two lives, how could Shigeru not see through Naza's thoughts? Although Naza tried her best to hide it, it wasn't hard to see that she wanted a formal answer from Shigeru.

Xiao Mao wasn't unwilling to give a formal answer; rather, he found it more interesting this way. After all, dating naturally involves some playful banter.

Especially since Xiao Mao has provoked the ice queen, Sabrina. If he were to truly deceive Sabrina's feelings, Xiao Mao reckons he would definitely be turned into a doll by Sabrina and then imprisoned.

...!

the next morning.

After a night, Naza returned to her usual aloof demeanor and stopped mentioning yesterday's events. She happily followed Xiao Mao to the most famous perfume shop in Yuhong City.

Yuhong Martial Arts Academy specializes in this business.

The two arrived at the entrance of the perfume shop, which was naturally run by the Yuhong Dojo. The perfumes they sold were made from the saliva of the stinky flower.

The shop assistant immediately came up to her and asked if Naz was there to buy perfume.

"Welcome, sir. Our perfumes are not only incredibly fragrant, but they also don't make you feel dizzy; in fact, they have a calming effect," the waiter explained.

"I don't know much about perfume." Although Naz is a girl, she only focused on learning superpowers when she was young and knew nothing about makeup, which is something girls should know. It was only recently, after her personality returned, that she started to pay attention to these things.

"No problem, sir. You just need to tell me what kind of perfume you need, and I can recommend one for you," the waitress said warmly.

Naza then looked at Mao and asked, "Mao, what kind of scent do you usually like?"

The waitress was immediately startled. She had noticed Xiao Mao, but since Xiao Mao was clearly younger than Na Zi, she didn't think they were a couple and assumed they were siblings.

But when a girl asks a boy what kind of perfume he likes, the meaning is self-evident.

"What's wrong with young girls these days? Do they all start liking cute boys?" the waitress thought to herself.

Although Xiao Mao is very handsome, we still need to be mindful of the age difference.

"I don't know much about perfumes, so let the sales assistant recommend two for you," Xiao Mao said.

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you,” Naz said.

"No problem, leave it to me." The waitress didn't waste any time and skillfully promoted two of the store's best-selling perfumes, one with an aromatic herbal scent and the other with an agarwood scent, both of which had a calming effect.

Xiao Mao wasn't particularly interested in perfume at first, but after taking a sniff, he immediately felt a sense of peace; the perfume's effects were truly powerful.

It has to be said that the elves are amazing. Items made from something on the elves have surprisingly good effects. If this perfume were in my previous life, it would be worth no less than agarwood made from rhinoceros horn.

"Thank you for coming."

Xiao Mao readily paid for the perfumes. Each bottle cost 10,000 yuan, totaling 20,000 yuan. The price wasn't too expensive; it was considered a mid-range luxury item.

"Naza, let's go to the Jade Rainbow Dojo." We haven't bought any perfume yet, and Shigeru should get down to business too.

After completing his gym challenge, Shigeru plans to visit the arcade in Celadon City.

In Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen, the arcade in Celadon City is owned by Team Rocket.

To attract people to the arcade, Team Rocket specially captured some rare Pokémon and placed them there. These Pokémon could be exchanged for game coins in the arcade, which was very popular and attracted many gamblers.

"Oh, are you going to Yuhong Dojo to visit the botanical garden?" a waitress asked.

This perfume shop is owned by Yuhong Dojo, which also has a botanical garden open to the public, making it a great place for couples to visit.

"No, we're going to challenge the gym," said Shigeru.

"Oh, I see. You'd better hurry up. Gym Leader Rika has a class for kids this afternoon. If you're late, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to challenge the gym," the waitress reminded her.

"understood."

Shigeru and Sabrina left the perfume shop and hurried to the Jade Rainbow Dojo.

The Celadon Gym is also a landmark building in Celadon City. Its exterior is modeled after the crown of a Vileplume and it covers a large area. Inside, there is not only a battle arena, but also a botanical garden for Grass-type Pokémon to live in.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Yuhong Dojo, Xiao Shigeru was quite intrigued by the glass walls. The reason for using glass as walls was, of course, to allow sunlight to shine directly in.

Chapter 56: VS Rika

At the entrance of Yuhong Taekwondo Hall.

[Ding! Mission issued: Obtain the Jade Rainbow Gym Badge / Rewards: 10 Intermediate Rare Candies, TM Solar Beam (Permanent), 1 Superior Miracle Seed (Increases Grass-type Move Power by 50%)]

The system's mission has been activated, and the rewards are quite good, at least proving that Rika is not a weak trainer.

Furthermore, in the original storyline, Ash did not defeat Rika.

Ash received the badge because he risked his life to save Rika's Gloom, and out of gratitude, Rika gave the badge to Ash.

However, Ash's act of sacrificing himself for his Pokémon is recognized by almost all trainers, so there is nothing wrong with giving him a badge.

Xiao Mao and Na Zi walked to the door.

Welcome!

The glass doors opened automatically to both sides, revealing two young women inside. They were both apprentices at the dojo and employees of the perfume shop, specifically responsible for receiving customers at the dojo.

"Excuse me, what brings you here?" a woman with long, black hair asked as she stepped forward.

"I'm here to challenge the gym," Shigeru explained his purpose.

"I see. Please follow me."

The woman warmly led Shigeru and Sabrina into the dojo's area.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and inform Sister Lijia."

The woman went inside the dojo to inform Rika.

Before long, Lijia came over with the woman.

"Hello, I am Rika, the head of the Yuhong Dojo. Are you the challenger?" Rika introduced herself.

“Yes, Miss Rika, hello. My name is Shigeru, and I’m from Pallet Town,” Shigeru replied.

“I understand. So how many badges do you have now?” Lijia asked.

"5 pieces."
