Xia Chi turned to look. It was Lacey, whom his gaze had passed over just moments ago.
She was looking at him now, holding a tray.
Was she going to say, "What are you staring at, you creep?" slap him, and storm off?
Surely the Unova Region's top-tier entitled women weren't that rampant?
Besides, Lacey wasn't that kind of person.
With those doubts running through his head, Xia Chi admitted, "Yeah. I figured some of you might be my opponents later, so I took a look around. Is something wrong?"
"When two Trainers' eyes meet, that's the signal for a battle to begin!"
Wearing a pink knit cardigan, Lacey sat down across from Xia Chi and smiled. "That's how the saying goes over in Donghuang Kanto, right? So I came over to answer your challenge~"
Xia Chi denied it. "There's no such thing. That's just a stereotype, like thinking there are gunfights every day in the Unova Region."
Lacey lightly covered her parted lips, looking surprised. "Oh! You knew I was from the Unova Region?"
Xia Chi countered, "Don't you know I'm from Donghuang, too?"
"That's because you're famous!"
Lacey finally revealed her true purpose, giving him a playful wink. "Teacher Shuiye, right?"
Ah, caught in the wild again.
Xia Chi looked utterly defeated.
He really should have seen this coming when he first set out on the path of a streamer.
Lacey was still hung up on her question. "So how did you know I'm from the Unova Region, Teacher Shuiye?"
Xia Chi replied, "Because you're famous too, Lacey. The Blueberry Academy League's Fairy-type Elite Four member, the Acting Principal, the beloved daughter of Clay, the Driftveil Gym Leader, and all that."
"Please don't say that!"
Blushing, Lacey crossed her hands in front of her to form an X.
