At this moment, a tense and solemn atmosphere filled the room.
Our male protagonist Xiaoyun stood upright in the center of the room, with a trace of seriousness on his face, as if he was about to announce something extremely important.
Beside the bed, Xiaoyun's father, the mayor Hanyu Qing'an, was sitting upright, his eyes showing concern for his son.
The duo Ash and Brock were sitting cross-legged on the carpet and looked very serious.
Yellow Mao Barry was different from the others. He lay carefree on the bed and seemed not to care about the surrounding atmosphere.
At the same time, Zoey, the professional wingman who sneaked out from Dawn's house, casually found a chair and sat down. Her eyes scanned everyone in the room from time to time.
Finally, there was also a boy leaning against the door of the room with the name Yawn. It was Jianwu, the warm-hearted guy who had been back for several days.
At this moment, except for Dawn, almost everyone in the room gathered together, forming a unique picture.
Because he was mixed in with a bunch of juniors, Hanyu Qing'an, who usually sits as he pleases, had to straighten his back and maintain the majesty and dignity that an elder should have.
This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he said helplessly, "Well, son, I don't need to come and interfere with you young people's chat."
Xiaoyun quickly pressed his hand and signaled his father to calm down. "Dad, please sit down for a while, I'll be here soon."
Later, Yellow Mao Barry, who came back from a long day's journey, couldn't help but hit Yawn and muttered, "Hey, Xiaoyun, how did you know I'm back?"
"Also, why did you call us here so late at night?"
Zoey also looked at Xiaoyun with a puzzled look on his face. "Yes, I came here secretly without telling Dawnie. She will find out if I don't go back for a long time."
Jianwu, who was leaning at the door, also urged, "If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly and don't keep it secret."
"Ahem, let me tell you." Xiaoyun took a deep breath and his expression became extremely serious, "And dad, you must cooperate in this matter. This is related to your son's happiness for the rest of his life."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic and looked at Xiaoyun curiously.
Barry rubbed his eyes and became more awake. "Oh? What is so important?"
Hanyu Qing'an was also attracted and asked, "Son, tell me, what do you need dad to do?"
"Please watch VCR~"
Xiaoyun gave Rotom a look. Rotom understood it and immediately turned on the screen projection function. There were a few big words written on it.
"Confession Battle!"
At this time, Zoey asked in confusion, "That Xiaoyun, aren't you and Dawn already boyfriend and girlfriend, who are you confessing to?"
As soon as Zoey said this, the mayor said happily, "Son, you and Dawn are married!"
Jianwu couldn't stand it any longer and refused to remain aloof. He was shocked and said, "What! When did you and Dawn become boyfriend and girlfriend!"
Xiaoyun put a smile on his face and explained patiently, "It's been a few months, calm down."
Then, he turned around and said to Barry, "And Barry, help brother hold Jianwu down, I'm afraid he will rush up and hit me."
Sorry Jianwu, you definitely can't beat Xiaoyun, brothers are all for you... After thinking about it, Yellow Mao immediately took action and charged at Jianwu who was about to roll up his sleeves.
"Barry What do you want to do?"
"No, why did you listen to him?"
"Don't come over here!"
"Jiejiejie~"
Jianwu struggled desperately, but Barry completely ignored his resistance, smiled arrogantly, and then used his hands and feet to lock Jianwu tightly.
Barry VS Jianwu, KO!
"Well, everyone knows that Dawn and I were childhood sweethearts..."
"Uh-huh!"
Jianwu, who was locked up by Barry, kept struggling, shouting in his heart: He is also a childhood sweetheart!!
However, Xiaoyun ignored Jianwu's silent doubts and continued, "I promised Dawn before that I would prepare an elaborate confession ceremony for her, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes and ended up being a little rushed, so I thought..."
The thoughtful Zoey instantly understood Xiaoyun's intention. "Oh~, I see, you want to re-plan a confession event!"
"Yes, that's it." Xiaoyun gave Zoey an approving look, then looked at the friends around him expectantly and said, "So, I will have to trouble all my friends to help me complete this plan."
At the critical moment, Yellow's hair had to stand up, and he immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry Xiaoyun, this is related to the happiness of both of you. As a good brother, of course I will not refuse!"
Zoey smiled and nodded in agreement, "It's very romantic. If Dawn knows about it, she will definitely be very happy. I agree."
Brock showed an envious expression and said with emotion, "It is such an enviable and pure love. Being able to be lucky enough to participate in it is also a very good experience."
Ash rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "It sounds very challenging, and it feels like it will be fun. I agree."
I object... Jianwu screamed in his heart, but at this time he could only say, "Uh-huh!"
"I would like to thank everyone here again, and the next step is to assign tasks."
"Ash Brock Barry, what you want to participate in is the most important and technical work with a certain degree of difficulty. You can take a look first."
Xiaoyun took out a notebook from his bag and handed it to Ash and the others. This was a song he had prepared and it required several people to complete it together. He also believed that leaving this matter to Ash and the others would be no problem.
Barry said in surprise, "Oh, did you write this? Then I have to go back and practice hard."
"You have to practice hard, but you can do it in a few days."
Ash and Brock also read the contents on the laptop. It was difficult, but not much, and it was within their tolerance.
The world of Pokémon is so unreasonable. What took months or even years to learn in the original world can be mastered in a few days here. This is very Ash.
Then Xiaoyun looked at Hanyu Qing'an: "By the way, Dad, I will trouble you about the venue then."
"No problem, I will figure out which piece you like." The mayor is very arrogant, and this kind of venue issue is completely trivial to him.
Xiaoyun looked at Zoey again. "Zoey, please help me report Dawn's situation in the next few days."
"OK, leave it to me."
Zoey made an OK gesture, she is the best at this kind of thing, she is a professional!
"Then I'll leave it to you all!"
With the task assignment completed, Barry also let go of Jianwu.
However, Jianwu did not continue to make a fuss. He lay peacefully on the ground, looked at Xiaoyun with extremely resentful eyes, and said dissatisfied, "Hey, you have already allocated all this, so why did you call me over? Do you want me to show off!"
At this time, Jianwu's mentality has collapsed. He originally came back early this time to express his feelings to Dawn through the Futaba Festival, but... he had already taken action!
It's over, it's useless.
Xiaoyun smiled slightly, walked to Jianwu, patted his shoulder gently, and said in a sincere tone, "Jianwu, we are fellow villagers after all, and I still hope to get your blessing."
After speaking, he showed a bright smile and looked at Jianwu with extremely sincere eyes.
Jianwu's eyes widened and he looked at Xiaoyun in disbelief. He had never seen such a shameless person.
So Jianwu said a beautiful hometown blessing.
"I*, you must be a* person!"
"Woooooo~"
After the blessing, Jianwu was so moved that he burst into tears and hurriedly left the room.
At this moment, a world where only Jian Wu is happy (and hurt) is achieved!
After a long time, Xiaoyun came out of Xiaoyun's room, and Hanyu Qing'an couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, how can children today come up with this idea? It's quite romantic."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Lina appeared behind him out of nowhere, and said in a strange tone, "Oh, Mr. Qing'an also understands romance, I didn't realize it~"
Hanyu Qing'an was startled, looked at her in horror, and stammered in reply, "Li...Lina! Didn't you Rest go?"
"You shouldn't be here eavesdropping all the time, right?"
"What is eavesdropping? I just couldn't sleep. I happened to pass by and listened to a short paragraph unintentionally..."
Lina explained on her lips, but her evasive eyes clearly betrayed her.
Just this kind of movement made it impossible for Lina, who always loved gossip, to sleep. His heart was scratching as if Skitty was scratching his head, and he couldn't sleep at all.
Hanyu Qing'an looked at her, feeling a little helpless, but couldn't say anything.
Seeing the helpless look in her husband's eyes, Lina was so angry that she pushed him with her arm, and then said, "Well, it's true. Fortunately, I was afraid of my son before and knew how to train him. What would I do if Dawn was abducted by others? But now it seems that our child's emotional intelligence is quite online."
"Well, it must be inherited from his mother."
"Hey, why can't it be me."
"Huh? What do you think?"
"Emmm..."
The next day, everyone went as planned, so several people were practicing at home in the morning, but midway, wingman Zoey sent him a message, saying that Dawn was coming over to invite him to visit the town, and he was already on the way to her house.
Xiaoyun immediately stopped training, grabbed a few people, and by a "coincidence" bumped into Dawn on the road, and naturally went shopping with him.
The town has been extremely lively these days. Even though the celebration today is still in the preparation stage, you can still see many traveling trainers coming here, as if they are warming up for the celebration in the next few days.
This kind of celebration is very similar to the temple fair in the original world. There are also many games, such as ring making, archery, Magikarp fishing, fishing activities and many other similar games. However, they have been slightly modified and all have added elements of Pokémon, which can be regarded as having certain characteristics.
Immediately afterwards, after everyone had fun, they went to a takoyaki restaurant for dinner.
When the takoyaki ordered came, Barry couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. While eating, he didn't forget to say, "Ash, Brock, let me tell you, the takoyaki made in this store is very delicious. Usually, this store has limited quantities."
"Xiaoyun and I only have the opportunity to eat to our heart's content every time we celebrate. If you don't believe me, try it."
Ash picked one up with a skewer and put it into his mouth. He was immediately surprised and said, "Oh, it's really delicious."
Pikachu also ate a takoyaki dipped in ketchup, squinting his eyes happily. "Pikachu~"
Zoey and Brock also praised, "It has a very unique taste."
Barry smiled proudly, "Yes, what I recommended is absolutely correct."
Xiaoyun and Dawn didn't speak. As the saying goes, the more you talk, the less you eat. They waited in line for a long time, so they might as well enjoy the food if they didn't have time to talk.
However, just as Barry continued to eat takoyaki, a carefree voice came.
"Ala ala, Barry you are here."
Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged uncle with blond hair and an appearance very similar to Barry walking over. When he got closer, he was slightly surprised to see the group of people next to Barry, and then he spoke.
"Hey, there are still friends here. How are you guys?"
"Hello, uncle Palmer." Dawn and Xiaoyun responded naturally.
They and Barry grew up together, so they were naturally very familiar with the middle-aged uncle in front of them. He was Barry's father, Palmer.
Then Palmer directly sat down next to Barry, unceremoniously picked up a toothpick, stuck a piece of takoyaki in his mouth and started eating. Everyone didn't mind, but Barry next to him couldn't help but feel angry.
"Hey, smelly daddy, if you want to eat, go buy it yourself. Why do you keep grabbing it from me?"
Palmer didn't seem to care about Barry's complaints. He said casually while eating, "Hahaha! Don't care about these details. You can't become a top trainer if you are stingy~"
Hearing this, Barry was also helpless, so he changed the topic.
"Dad, why are you here? Uncle Qing'an asked you to prepare for the challenge on the last day."
As soon as Ash mentioned the battle, he immediately became interested and asked, "Hey, is this uncle also a trainer?"
"Of course, my dad is the person in charge of Sinnoh Battle Frontier Battle Tower. He is so powerful that he was given the nickname Palmer to fight against the great king!"
Although Barry dislikes his father's character, when it comes to his achievements as a trainer, Barry praises Palmer without any secret, and his tone is full of pride.
"Wow, uncle, you are so awesome~"
As soon as he heard Battle Frontier, Ash, who had challenged Kanto Battle Frontier, immediately understood that if he could be the person in charge of Battle Frontier at Sinnoh, then this uncle must be no ordinary person.
"Hahaha, it's all a false name, just a false name."
Palmer waved his hands, his mouth full of humility, but his bold laughter was unabashedly proud, and he obviously enjoyed his son's proper Swagger extremely.
The commercial Swagger ended, Ash stood up and invited Palmer: "Uncle, I am Ash from Pallet Town, please have a Pokémon battle with me."
Seeing Ash who wanted to fight right now, Xiaoyun quickly pulled him back and explained.
"Ash Don't worry, there will be a battle event on the last day of the Futaba Festival. Uncle Palmer will be the final super boss, and the winner can challenge it."
