Battling put far more strain and pressure on them than racing did.
Dodo was in very stable condition, but she had not had anything tasty to drink for several days and was picking something out by the fridge.
Chansey was the most radiant of them all.
She was so excited, so happy.
It had been ages since she had trained so thoroughly!
Chansey even felt she had not had quite enough and asked Shen Qi whether he would participate in the People of Durian's subsequent exploration.
"Wallace's people are called the People of the Sea of Origin!" Shen Qi corrected her. "Not durian, the Sea of Origin!"
If Wallace really did explore Meteor Falls afterward, there would not be much point in Shen Qi going. He could not help with the exploration, so it would be much the same as staying home and waiting for the results.
Going into the mountains with those experts would leave Chansey with even fewer opportunities to battle and train.
"If I'd known you'd be this excited, I would've made you carry all the luggage."
Shen Qi propped up his aching body, sat up, and walked into the living room.
Everything he had eaten in Meteor Falls had been emergency rations and portable food. He was truly sick of it.
He would order takeout, indulge a little, and treat himself.
He felt in his pocket... Never mind. He needed to buy a phone first.
His entire pack had been torn apart in the water, then battered against all sorts of rocks... This time, he would need a replacement SIM card.
Once again, he was grateful to Mayumi for providing a place to stay. Had he stayed in a hotel, Shen Qi certainly would not have dared leave his wallet and ID card in the room.
