It all starts with helping Pokémon

The world championship starts from the advanced ball level. The schedule, location and opponents of the battle are pre-scheduled, and it must be an open match.

After the players are successfully matched, the system will automatically select the most suitable official competition venue in the area where the two players are located as the battle venue.

Lillie's first opponent after advancing to the advanced level was Serena. In the end, the system arranged the match venue in the Miare Arena in Miare City, Carlos, and made the news public.

So she will go to Miare City to participate in the competition next time. Hoshino is not busy recently, so she will naturally choose to accompany her to watch the competition.

Besides, they haven't been to the Carlos area since the incident of Ultimate Weapon Z the year before last, but according to the news on the Internet, they seem to be recovering well, and they basically maintained normal operations in the middle of last year.

So after confirming the venue of the competition, they went to Miare together the next day...

In the Pikachu Detective Agency, it has now completely returned to daily life. After Chaomeng became Pikachu's assistant, various commissions were easily resolved, which made Pikachu half-lying.

Recently, the director of Pokémon Hollywood in Lichong City wanted to invite it to participate in the third movie of "Detective Pikachu", but it didn't agree immediately, and planned to lie down for a while. The director can only wait it responds to...

Seeing that it is as usual today, using books to prop up the seat, and then sitting and lying on the desk to sleep, Chaomeng, who is reading books and learning human knowledge, glanced at it and asked: "Is it true that I lie down like this every day?" Okay? You have gained a lot of weight recently, and one day when you are chasing the prisoner, you won't be able to run anymore."

Hearing this, Pikachu shook his tail, closed his eyes lazily, and replied: "Which prisoner can escape your pursuit? Since most of the Flame team members were arrested the year before last, Miare City is safe and sound. The harmony is much better, hundreds of detective agencies on this street have closed down, no major incidents have happened, and I have no motivation..."

"Big event... It seems that there is a competition in Miare City today."

"Which one?"

"That girl named Lillie."

"I don't watch the ones that aren't Hoshino. His battle show is only getting full effect. If I knew it last year, I should have gone to Alola to watch the match live..."

"Isn't it because you think the tickets are expensive so you don't go?"

"I didn't know that as long as I told that guy Hoshino, I could get in for free!"

With that said, Pikachu finally opened his eyes and sat up, patted his lower back lightly with his small hands, then jumped off the table and chair, walked towards the water fountain, and said: "But for the competition, he should I’ll come over too, I’m sure…”

Before he could finish speaking, the bell at the door suddenly rang, accompanied by a familiar voice: "Do you miss me that much?"

"too fast!"

Pikachu suddenly turned around to look, and saw Hoshino walking over with Xin Yemao in his arms, and said, "I came directly from Kabukicho, so I don't have to worry about flying, isn't it very convenient."

"Long time no see~"

Lillie also walked in. Since she came to Miare City, she must come here for a stroll. If it wasn't for Pikachu's information, how could she find her father and come back.

Seeing them coming, Chaomeng also greeted them. With its spiritual power, it had already sensed the two of them, but it just didn't say anything on purpose.

Pikachu recovered from the accident, continued to go to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water, came back and sat on the sofa with the teacup in his hands, and then asked: "Come here suddenly, don't tell me what happened again, I am now It’s a busy day, so busy.”

"..."

Chaomeng glanced at it silently, and did not speak. After looking at the internal structure of the current office, Hoshino came to sit on the opposite sofa, and then said, "Can't you come over if you have nothing to do?"

"Tsk, you are not the kind of person who will take time off, and the things you do are getting worse and worse."

"What stereotypes... these things have nothing to do with me, it's just that things against the sky come to me one by one."

Hoshino shook his head helplessly, then looked at Chaomeng, and said, "I suddenly thought of something when I stopped by this time, so I came to ask you some questions."

"Ok?"

Chaomeng was puzzled, and after putting down the book in his hand, he walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, do you know Dream?"

"dream……"

Chaomeng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, it must know this, after all, it uses the gene of fantasy, and the Pokémon copied in order to surpass the dream, even the name is taken from this meaning.

Seeing it knew, Hoshino told the story of the Rainbow Rocket team here, Pikachu Detective Agency, but their good friends in Master House, there is nothing to hide here.

After listening to this, Chaomeng fell into silence, while Pikachu was shocked and shouted: "Hey, this is a bit too super-class, and you want to fight enemies from other worlds?"

"Scared?"

"How could you be afraid!"

Pikachu's eyes became serious in an instant, if that's the case... Maybe the Pikachu Detective Agency might be getting a big deal!
What a bunch of arrogant guys actually invading this world, they may not know that there is a heroic Pikachu Detective Agency guarding this planet, a country bumpkin from another universe!
Seeing Pikachu laughing suddenly, Hoshino didn't know what it was laughing at, and then continued to look at Mewtwo, and said, "If these guys really come, I hope you can come and help."

"no problem!"

Chaomeng agreed without even thinking about it. It is very interested in Mengmeng, and it really wants to meet this "mother or father" who has never met.

After saying this, Hoshino and the others didn't stay any longer. Lillie still had a match to play, so she bid farewell and left.

Pikachu stood by the window and watched them go away, the smile on his face gradually calmed down, and he showed his serious face as a detective during the investigation for a long time, then looked back and said: "If you want to investigate, then investigate Well, even if it’s just me in the detective agency, it’s fine.”

"..."

Chaomeng knew that Pikachu had seen his thoughts. After all, the other party was a famous detective, and then nodded. Fantasia's news could be said to be too much for him to care about, and he couldn't help wanting to find it.

After saying this, Pikachu turned around again, put his hands in his pockets, and murmured softly: "A criminal organization that spans the universe, this is really a big case, I need to prepare it too..."

……

In a moment, Hoshino and the others had arrived outside the cheering Mia Arena. Although there was still some time before the match, the enthusiasm of the audience could not be restrained.

"This is really lively, it's obviously just a high-level matchup..."

Lilia was a little puzzled, but Hoshino learned something on the Internet, and said, "Sarina became a champion last year, and it is said that in two years, Caluni will retire and replace Carlos as the champion." Give her the position."

"Why are there so many abdicating? Sister Zhulan seems to have plans to hand over the championship position to Xiao Guang, so she has been training her..."

"The old and new eras have changed. These champions have been in charge for many years. Ever since Adek handed over the position to Alice a few years ago, there have been these rumors on the Internet. Who makes excellent trainers emerge in endlessly now? ?”

"Another new era... It is true that I have been listening to their rumors since I was a student, and suddenly I feel as if I am old..."

"What do you say..."

Hoshino reached out and rubbed her head, and continued: "I'm only in my early 20s, thinking about so many things. It should be said that now belongs to our era. Hurry up and get in, I have to go to the auditorium."

"okay!"

For a moment, watching Lilia run away, Hoshino shook his head while holding his forehead, and then walked towards the auditorium. Although the Mia Lei Arena was very lively, it was not on the scale of the Masters after all, and it was easy to find some vacant seats Come and sit.

But when he came here and started to look for a location, he suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away, sitting there watching the battle.

Although the other party has long hair, the two green hairs on his forehead are still very easy to distinguish.

"...Sister?"

Hearing the voice, Nemo turned her head to look with a smile on her face. After seeing Hoshino, she was not surprised and waved her hand to say hello: "Yo, long time no see!"

"It's true... I haven't seen each other since the Alola Challenge. How are you doing recently? I heard that senior sister, you seem to have gone to the Galar region to play?"

As he said that, Hoshino hugged Xinye Miao and sat next to him. Nemo looked away, looked at Lilia who appeared below, and responded with a smile: "Everything is going well. The trainers over there really like to fight. Every gym is a large arena!"

"That's good, but the senior should also participate in the World Championships, right? What's the ranking now?"

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Nimo's face: "I forgot to sign up for the gym..."

"Illusion? It always feels like this is not the first time..."

"Hahaha."

Facing Hoshino's complaints, Nemo could only smile awkwardly, and then looked down at the battle that had already begun. She still knew about Lillie's loss to Sarina before, so in order to watch the game, this time she I came to Miare City specifically, and of course there are some other reasons...

On the field, although it was only a 3v3 match, because of her previous experience, Salina did not give up the slightest bit this time, and gave her full strength from the beginning.

But Li Liai is also in a completely serious state. During this period of time, she has asked Hoshino to accompany her in training. She is still very concerned about being beaten by the Cangyan Blade Ghost during the challenge, so she specially asked Cangyan The sword ghost guides Tianxi.

This time she started with Di Anxi, and she even fought directly on the MEGA evolution field, and caught Serina by surprise, but the opponent's Koga Ninja was also very powerful, and it was hard to separate.

Nemo in the auditorium couldn't help licking her lips after seeing this scene, and couldn't wait to have a full-scale battle with Lillie.

Hoshino glanced at her and said, "After this match, Lillie will go to the Padia region for the championship-level assessment."

"Eh? Is it?"

Nemo came back to her senses, and at this moment, Serena's Koga Ninja was finally defeated by Tian Xi, who made her look at the field again.

Hoshino continued: "I became the champion of the league, and I was automatically upgraded to the champion level. Although Alola can also do the championship level assessment now, she insists on going to the Padia area, just to meet with you, senior sister, after that." fight."

"Will you fight me..."

Nemo murmured softly, and then smiled, unexpectedly, this day finally came.

She looked at the battle below, and recalled that Lilia was a little girl who couldn't even fight, but now she has grown to this level, she is indeed her only strong opponent!

"So you're going to the Padia region next, right?"

"That's right, I planned to tell you after her assessment was over, but I didn't expect you, senior, to come all the way to watch her match today."

"I said it in the group today, but you haven't replied to my message..."

"This... should be the time to go to the Pikachu Detective Agency. I just missed it. After all, I have to stabilize my state."

"It doesn't matter anymore. You are going to the Padia area. It just so happens that I have something to come to you. Didn't Peony come back to Padia before? It just so happens that it is still summer vacation. I want everyone to go to the shelter in Beishang Township together." Let’s have a fun at the noodle festival!”

This is the real purpose of Nemo's coming here. After graduating from the academy, there are very few opportunities for them to get together. It just so happened that Hoshino and the others came to Carlos this time, so close to Padia, so they seized this opportunity. Everyone has been together for a long time.

Hoshino understood what she meant, and now everyone has things to do, and even the chances of seeing each other are much less, and then said: "But it's Beishang Township again... Speaking of the masking ceremony? What is that?"

To this question, Nemo responded with a smile: "You should know the legend of Beishang Township, right? Then you should know that the residents there have a unique preference for masks..."

"Use a mask to scare away ghosts?"

"That's right, and this festival is different from the festival at the summer camp. It is a festival that only belongs to local residents to hold similar sacrificial activities. It lasts for one night. Of course, outsiders are also welcome to participate."

"It sounds interesting, but why is it a mask..."

Hoshino recalled the night when he participated in the festival, Zoroark was controlled by Ougui with the mask of blue and then attacked everyone, but if he talked about the mask of blue, he suddenly cared a little bit.

"The Secret Treasure of Zero..."

He suddenly recalled the rumors of the existence of the secret treasure of Zero in Beishang Township, and now recalling the appearance of the crystal on the mask of Azure, it seems familiar, isn't it...

One word awakened the dreamer. It wasn't Nemo who mentioned Beishang Township. Hoshino might have forgotten the rumors about the Zero's secret treasure. If the mask of Esperanza is really the missing part of the crystal, then you must get it. The crystal But in the hands of Leihe, that guy has always been thinking about the secret treasure of Zero!
"It seems that we have to go there. If Leihe knows about Bizhi's mask, she will definitely appear there, but there is no special news at the moment. There is a high probability that she does not know it yet, so she must be there. Before that, get the Jade Mask!"

Hoshino muttered in a low voice, but Nemo couldn't hear what she was saying clearly. At this moment, the battle below had entered a fierce stage, and both sides had only the last Pokémon left.

In the battle between MEGA Tianxi and MEGA Absolu, Lillie did not send Pippi to play. The lineup she used was the three that she used when she lost to Sharina in Miare Gymnasium that day.

But at that time, she ignored the upper limit of herself and Tianxi because she pursued victory too much, and finally ushered in failure. This time, she will cross this last hurdle together with MEGA Tianxi!

"last blow!"

Li Liai waved her hands and shouted, Tianxi held the sword in both hands, gathered all the surrounding diamonds and merged them into the sword body, and under the dazzling sunlight, it looked like a pink light soaring into the sky!

Sharina didn't dare to let go. Although Absolu's state was in the upper hand and the opponent was already dying, this move was still too powerful.

But in the end, she chose to use the attack to meet head-to-head confrontation, or to defend Gou Yibo... She chose the former, and let Absolu use the iron tail to slap it, colliding with the falling sword light.

Maybe if she chooses the latter, she can survive and seize the opportunity to defeat the opponent, but in that case, she would not be her. Rather than winning, she still wants to show her strong fighting style with all her strength!

Following the violent explosion on the field, countless diamond fragments splashed, were intercepted by the shield sword monsters and dispersed into particles, everyone became quiet, nervously watching the result in the explosion smoke.

When the smoke gradually dissipated, both Diancie and Absolu had unlocked the MEGA evolution, and fell together in the explosion crater... so it was a draw?
Just when many viewers thought so, Tianxi managed to open his eyes after a groan of pain, but Absolu completely lost his ability to fight, and the victory was decided!

"Great!!!"

Seeing Lilia raising her hands excitedly below, not caring about her own influence at all, Hoshino in the audience showed a gratified smile, then looked at Nemo, and said, "Senior, you should be ready too, she will be ready soon." I will fight against you!"

Nemo smiled and responded, "Don't worry, I'm always ready!"

……

At the end of the competition, Li Liai rushed to the 70th place in the advanced ball class, but it is estimated that the upper limit is almost reached, and she is also very aware of her own strength, which is still far behind those top-ranked players.

As the audience began to leave, she and a slightly regretful Sarina met outside the arena. After seeing her, the first thing the other party did was to congratulate her, and then said: "I didn't expect...but you also worked hard Ah, the team doesn't bring any replacements, I originally wanted to target that Pippi..."

"Where I fall, I have to get up. I have learned a lot from the two battles with you, Selina. I look forward to the next battle!"

Saying that, Lillie held out her hand with a smile, and after Sharina shook hands with her, she looked at Citron and the others running over from the other side, and said, "I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving first. Did you come alone? If yes, would you like to have dinner together?"

"No, Hoshino should still be waiting for me, we have to go to the Padia area later."

"That's it, see you there, and work hard for the rest of the competition. When you get married, don't forget to tell me~"

"must!"

After saying hello to Xitron and the others who came over, Lillie smiled and watched them leave, then sighed softly, feeling a little sigh in her heart, and she had to work harder.

At this moment, Hoshino and the others came here, and they happened to miss Citron and the others. Seeing Lillie standing there blankly, Nimo sneaked up from behind without hesitation, swept over and hugged her.

"Miss me~"

"Eh...senpai?!"

Lilia was taken aback, but after seeing Nemo, her expression instantly changed to surprise, and she asked quickly, "When did you come?"

"Today, Carlos is not too far from the Galar region, just across the sea. I sent you a message in the group, but you didn't reply."

"I didn't look at my phone today..."

Lilia said sorry, then looked at Hoshino who was walking slowly, and roughly guessed that the two of them were watching her game together, so she asked with a smile: "How is my performance today?"

"Very good, but the risk is very high. I almost lost."

"But it turned out to be a win!"

"You..."

Hoshino couldn't say anything, so he changed the subject and continued: "By the way, we will go to Padia with my senior later."

"Huh? Senior sister wants to go back?"

"No, it's just to let everyone get together after a long time, lest there will be no chance in the future."

"That's it...that's no problem. After the party is over, I'm ready to challenge the Partian Alliance and strive for success!"

Seeing Lilia's confidence, Nemo patted her on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "It's better to make more preparations. The championship level assessment is the four consecutive battles of the four heavenly kings. Although you will have some rest opportunities in the middle, it is also kind." Miss will stand in the end!"

"It's challenging in this way, but it does require more preparation..."

She just realized that she didn't even know what attribute the Four Heavenly Kings of Padia used, so she should spend a few more days to study it.

At this time, Hoshino suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, senior, how is Paipa doing now?"

"This one……"

Speaking of Paipa, Nemo couldn't help sighing, and responded: "After the news that the Padiya giant pit was blocked, he was autistic for a long time, and I also left later. Come out from the news... But this time, he promised to come."

"Really? That's fine."

Hoshino is still quite worried about Paipa. After all, this matter is really difficult to talk about. Whether he can come out depends on the other party himself. They are friends, and they can only enlighten them from the side.

However, after learning that Paipa will come to participate, he should have almost recovered. As long as he doesn't specifically mention this matter, there will be no problem.

"Then let's go now!"

"it is good!"

……
