Chapter 116: Pokémon of the Multiverse: Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 50

Enduring the intense pain, the Doline Pig rushed straight toward Menchi, like a car crashing through, destroying the lawn wherever it went.

Its heavy body made every step cause vibrations on the grass, like drumbeats hitting Menchi’s heart.

Menchi stared tightly at the Doline Pig, and she didn't know when she had taken out four sharp knives, the sharp blades reflecting her determination.

Once decided, she would not give up halfway!

She, Menchi, keeps her word!

One week later,

In Luo Ge and the others’ camp.

"I see, then let’s discuss it when I go back."

Luo Ge said, holding his phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Judy.

Judy believed that as the family continued to expand, the name "Ayla" family was no longer suitable.

She felt it would be better to change it to the "Luo Ge" family.

Luo Ge didn't care, but if the name were to be changed, it could be done at the same time as his plan was implemented.

He planned to re-plan the development of the "Ayla" family, which could also be understood as a transformation, not doing those small, petty things.

While his personal strength increased, his influence could not fall behind; they had to advance together to build a top-tier force.

The next plan was the first step to becoming a top-tier force.

It just so happened that they were leaving here, and Luo Ge planned to return to Judy’s place for a while to handle things before continuing the training plan.

"Is there anything else?" Luo Ge asked.

After a pause, a slightly shy voice came from the phone.

"Also... I miss you."

Judy blushed, forcing herself to say this, while Rose beside her made a victory gesture, feeling she had taught her well.

Luo Ge: ...

Hanging up the phone, Luo Ge looked at the phone in silence, subconsciously rubbing Eevee’s fur.

Eevee: ?

Machi put the last item into her backpack and asked with some concern:

"Since that day, we haven't seen Menchi for a week."

"Did something happen to her? Or is she angry?"

Luo Ge withdrew his hand from touching Eevee and said after a moment of silence: "Why don't we go take a look?"

"We haven't been to Menchi’s house yet, so we can meet her family on the way."

You know, Menchi had been there every day without fail before, never missing a day.

To suddenly not see her for a week made it hard not to worry.

Biscuit closed the handsome-man magazine in her hand and yawned: "No need, she’s already here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Menchi appeared on the other side of the grassland, her face full of smiles, running toward them.

"Luo Ge! Machi... I’m back!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Eevee also perked up its ears, jumping happily on Luo Ge’s shoulder.

"Eevee, Eevee!"

Menchi came to Luo Ge’s side, touched Eevee with a smile, stuck out her tongue, and said: "Oh, I forgot about cute Eevee."

"My fault, my fault."

Machi asked hurriedly: "Menchi, where have you been this week? We haven't seen you."

Menchi’s face brightened, and she took something out of her pocket nervously.

"Actually, I went to prepare a parting gift this week."

"It’s this."

Menchi took out an exquisite bone tooth bracelet, smiled, and put it in Luo Ge’s hand: "...Here, this is for you."

"Keep it well, there is only one of these; if you miss it, it’s gone."

Menchi put her hands behind her back and said with a smile, her eyes mixed with some kind of emotion.

Luo Ge accepted the bone string, put it on his wrist, and thanked her: "Thank you, this bone string is quite good-looking."

Luo Ge didn't know the tradition of Cross Town, so naturally, he didn't understand that this bone string was actually a token of love.

Machi beside him frowned slightly; her sixth sense gave her a bad feeling.

But she couldn't find the reason.

"Eh? Is there none for me?"

Shizuku pointed at herself and said in a soft voice.

She also wanted a gift.

Menchi scratched the back of her head awkwardly, her eyes drifting: "Because time was too rushed, I only had time to prepare this gift."

"Ahem, next time we meet, I will definitely bring you a gift."

Stare—

Shizuku stared at Menchi, paused, and then spread her hands, helpless: "Okay, then it’s a deal."

Luo Ge and the others had packed their things, and Menchi’s timing was just right.

Luo Ge looked at Menchi, his thoughts drifting to the scene of their first meeting; the first impression she left on everyone was that of a gluttonous girl.

But as time passed, they also learned that Menchi was a down-to-earth, reliable, and cheerful girl.

Well...

It’s just that her appetite was a bit big.

This didn't count for much; they had a great time during the days they spent with Menchi.

It’s just a pity that the time for parting had finally arrived.

Luo Ge said in a deep voice: "We should go."

Menchi’s breathing stalled, then she smiled again and said obediently: "Remember me, don't forget me."

Luo Ge was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement.

Biscuit shook her head; she could already imagine what would happen in the future.

The sun was setting,

The sunset glow shone on the grass, staining the originally green lawn with a touch of golden yellow.

The amber twilight covered Menchi’s fair cheeks with a color like maltose.

Her reluctant gaze looked toward the end of the grassland, and the figures of Luo Ge and the four disappeared bit by bit, gradually moving away.

A cool breeze blew, blowing up Menchi’s hair and messing up her thoughts.

She was the only one left on the empty grassland; it seemed that the previous liveliness was just an illusion, or like a dream.

When the dream wakes up, it ends.

"Still... left, huh."

"Without everyone, I’ll have to eat bad food again in the future."

Menchi lowered her eyelids and muttered in a low voice.

It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple.

Accustomed to the meals Luo Ge made, she could no longer eat the dishes made by herself or even her family.

Menchi squatted down, buried her head, and talked to herself: "Sure enough, I don't want to separate."

"Machi."

"Shizuku, Biscuit."

"And..."

The words were scattered on the empty grassland, receiving no response; it was just her venting.

"Leaving me alone."

"Too cunning..."

A few breaths later, a figure appeared at the end of the grassland and gradually approached Menchi.

Menchi froze in place, blinking her eyes, watching the figure gradually approach her.

Luo Ge came to Menchi and greeted her: "Yo, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Menchi wiped her eyes, wiped away the tears spinning in her eye sockets, and smiled: "Haha, not funny at all."

"Didn't you already leave? Why are you back?"

Luo Ge said softly: "Well, actually there is something I haven't given you yet."

Menchi gave a parting gift, how could he forget?

After speaking, Luo Ge took out several things for Menchi.

Including [Smoke Ball] to ensure escape when encountering danger, [Potion] that can quickly restore injuries, some berries...

Besides that, there was a [Heart Scale].

[Heart Scale] is used in games to let Pokémon recall skills; in reality, it is simply a beautiful scale with collection value.

Instead of letting it gather dust, it’s better to give it to Menchi.

Coincidentally, the [Heart Scale] is heart-shaped.

Menchi held the colorful, dazzling [Heart Scale], pressed it to her chest, and said sincerely:

"I will definitely treasure it well, because this is what you gave me."

Menchi laughed through her tears.

In the end, Luo Ge left, but this time Menchi was no longer sad, but full of expectations for the future.

Looking forward to the moment they meet again in the future.
