After resting for a night at the Pokémon Center in Cinnabar Town, Xia You and Sabrina left town early the next morning and set off for the Cinnabar Gym on the other side of the island.
Walking along a winding path beneath the coconut grove, Xia You looked up at the coconut trees on either side, nearly twenty or thirty meters tall, and couldn't help warning Sabrina, "Watch out for those coconuts. This is the season when they ripen. With the wind and rain, some of the fully ripe ones fall off easily. Hundreds of unlucky people get killed by them every year!"
Xia You had only meant to remind Sabrina to be careful, but no sooner had the words left his mouth than a coconut happened to fall from the tree directly above him, plummeting straight toward his head!
Hearing the sound overhead, Xia You looked up. The coconut loomed larger and larger, only to stop in midair in a flash, barely a dozen centimeters away from him!
Beside him, Sabrina hadn't even shifted her gaze. She merely waved her hand casually, and the coconut changed direction, dropping heavily at Xia You's feet.
"You're welcome."
The corners of Sabrina's lips lifted slightly, her tone light. Seeing her like this, Xia You marveled at the change in her personality, but couldn't help scratching his head.
Honestly, I'd been trying to tell someone else to be careful, but I nearly ended up being the unlucky one!
Still, I wasn't planning to say thank you...
Even if you hadn't stepped in, I had Gardevoir and Haunter to protect me!
With a rather petulant air, he nudged the coconut aside with his foot and continued onward with Sabrina. Just as they were about to leave the grove, a warehouse-like building came into view
