Chapter 52

Xia Si, this guy is truly too annoying.

[Waiting in line for an hour was worth it; the theater performance was quite interesting, and the performer Imite's transformation act really captured people's hearts.]

[However, this performance was not without its flaws; the second half, featuring the performance by Ditto, did not go so smoothly.]

[Although Imite's Ditto can transform into various Pokémon, it always retains its original beady eyes every time it transforms. This imperfect performance left quite a few audience members feeling rather disappointed.]

["I actually think it's quite interesting. Beady-eyed Pokémon are also quite cute." Xiaoxia is in an exceptionally good mood today.]

[Not only did she relax by watching the performance, but what made her even happier was that the person accompanying her was the Xia Si she likes. The only slightly bad thing is that Xiaogang is also here, so this doesn't count as a date. If it weren't for Xiaogang, today would absolutely be a perfect day.]

Xiaogang: "..."

They haven't even become an official couple yet, and she's already starting to dislike him. If Xiaoxia really became Xia Si's girlfriend, he probably wouldn't have a place to stand anymore.

Xia Si: "Wow, Imite, I didn't expect you to be so popular before."

Xiaoxia: "Then why was the theater so desolate when we encountered it?"

Imite: "Because everyone knows my Ditto can't transform perfectly, so gradually, not many people came. But there's no need to worry now; thanks to the Rocket Team helping my Ditto with special training, the theater has become popular again."

Meowth: "Heh heh, now you know how good we are. Meow."

Jessie: "What are you feeling smug about, Meowth? She's mocking us, mocking us!"

James: "Just you wait, next time we meet, we will definitely snatch your Ditto back!"

[The people in the theater have almost all left, leaving only Xia Si's trio and the performer Imite.]

[Imite on the stage is unhappy, seemingly not very satisfied with the performance just now.]

[Xia Si was also preparing to leave, but Mew seems very interested in Imite's Ditto.]

[It discussed with Xia Si about staying behind to help Imite's Ditto with special training.]

[Upon learning that Xia Si wanted to help her Ditto with special training, Imite was very disdainful at first, but after Mew showed off a trick, Imite knelt down immediately.]

["Please, you and your Ditto, help me with the special training!!!"]

[It's not a Ditto, it's Mew, Xia Si said secretly in his heart.]

[Mew has taught many students, Pikachu, Lucario, Bulbasaur; basically, all the Pokémon in Xia Si's hands have received guidance from Teacher Mew.]

[As a master teacher, Teacher Mew has always been very confident in its teaching ability, until today, when it encountered Imite's Ditto. It admits that its teaching career has encountered a huge challenge.]

[How can there be such a stupid Ditto in this world!!!]

[If it weren't for Xia Si blocking it on the side, Mew would have been unable to resist taking action. It has been leading the Ditto to transform hand-in-hand, but the Ditto still can't forget those beady eyes.]

[Finally, Mew succeeded. In the case of using violence, it still succeeded.]

[Teaching properly had no effect at all, but once it took action, Imite's Ditto suddenly became intelligent.]

[While Mew was helping Imite's Ditto with transformation special training, Xia Si was not idle either; he gained a lot of useful battle experience from Imite.]

Lance: "Is Black Xia Si too hardworking? He won't even waste this bit of time?"

Lorelei: "Lance, aren't you panicking?"

Bruno: "Lance must be panicking. Black Xia Si's talent is so high, and he is so eager to learn. I estimate that by the time he is ten, he will come to challenge the Champion League. By then, it is very likely that Kanto will give birth to a ten-year-old Champion."

Lorelei: "When that time really comes, Lance will be the biggest clown. After ten years of hard work, he still hasn't become the Champion."

Lance: "I'm a clown, aren't you guys the same?"

Bruno: "I don't care, anyway, I don't have much interest in the Champion."

Lorelei: "Same as above."

Lance: "..."

[Dark City.]

[The sun is high in the sky; today is a sunny, good day. But what is puzzling is that in such good weather, there isn't a single person on the streets of Dark City, and there are only two or three shops still operating on both sides of the street.]

[With doubts, Xia Si's group walked into the only restaurant still open on the street.]

[After ordering three portions of omelet rice and an extra portion of ketchup for Pikachu, Xia Si curiously asked the shopkeeper about the reason for the desolation on the streets of Dark City.]

["It's the Yas Gym and the Kaz Gym that did it." As soon as these two gyms were mentioned, the shopkeeper's anger flared up. He gritted his teeth and continued, "I don't know where the news came from that the Alliance is going to establish an official gym in Dark City. Since then, in order for their own gyms to be ranked as official gyms, the people from Yas Gym and Kaz Gym have been fighting in the streets of Dark City day and night."]

["Not only that, they also often spend high prices to recruit passing trainers."]

["By the way, who are you people?" the shopkeeper asked casually.]

["Passing trainers," Xia Si said calmly.]

[As soon as Xia Si said this, it silenced the shopkeeper immediately; he wished he could slap himself.]

[Let him be a chatterbox, let him be a chatterbox. If these three young people in front of him are also recruited by the people from Yas Gym and Kaz Gym, then he will be miserable.]

["Rest assured, uncle, we have no interest in becoming someone else's hired thugs." Xiaoxia also saw through the shopkeeper's thoughts and quickly told him to set his mind at ease.]

["That's good, that's good." After the shopkeeper gave a sheepish smile, he left.]

[After the shopkeeper left, Xiaoxia looked at Xia Si and said, "The residents of Dark City are too pitiful. Xia Si, let's help them."]

[Ding!]

[Entering the prize quiz segment!]

Just at this moment, a question appeared on the big screen again.

[Question: Faced with Xiaoxia's request, what will Xia Si do?]

[A: Refuse Xiaoxia's request.]

[B: Agree to Xiaoxia's request and call Professor Oak, asking Professor Oak to solve the trouble.]

[C: Agree to Xiaoxia's request, go directly to the door to beat up the gym leaders of Kaz Gym and Yas Gym, and then leave Dark City.]

[D: Agree to Xiaoxia's request, beat up the gym leader of Kaz Gym, and support the gym leader of Yas Gym to become the official gym leader.]

[E: Agree to Xiaoxia's request, beat up the gym leader of Yas Gym, and support the gym leader of Kaz Gym to become the official gym leader.]

[F: None of the above answers are correct.]

Wallace: "It's here, it's here, the quiz is here again, I can subtract one again."

With this subtraction, he is now at two remaining, and the day he gets out of prison is getting closer and closer. The future is promising, the future is promising.

Cynthia: "A must be wrong. Black Xia Si spoils Xiaoxia so much; he definitely won't refuse a legitimate request proposed by Xiaoxia."

Diantha: "Right, if this suggestion was proposed by Xiaogang, it might be possible to refuse."

Xiaogang: "..."

Gary: "Do I still need to think? This question must be B. Calling Grandpa is Black Xia Si's habitual move. Simple and effective."

Phoebe: "What the hell are answers D and E? Whether it's the gym leader of Kaz Gym or the gym leader of Yas Gym, they are both annoying. How could Black Xia Si support such people to be gym leaders?"

Gardenia: "If you ask me, the correct answer is definitely C. Problems that can be solved with fists are not problems. Beating up the gym leaders of Kaz Gym and Yas Gym is the best solution."

Steven: "I really want to answer the question, but unfortunately I answered wrong last time. Sigh, let's rest for a round this time."

He doesn't want to end up like Wallace.

Kanto Town.

Xiaogang: "This question is a bit difficult. I don't even know what to choose."

Xiaoxia: "I don't want to choose A, B, C, D, or E. If I must choose, I'll choose F."

Don't ask why; if you ask, it's a woman's intuition.

Xiaogang: "Xia Si, what are you planning to choose?"

Xiaogang is too lazy to think for himself; he is preparing to soak up some of Xia Si's good luck.

Xia Si is still quite good at answering questions; following him to answer questions is never wrong.

Xia Si: "I abstain. I answered the last question wrong. If I answer this one wrong again, I'll be banned for two rounds. I'd better abstain."

Xiaogang: "Then I'll abstain with you."

Xiaoxia: "Coward, I'm not abstaining. I choose F."

Alola Pokémon School.

Mallow: "Such a headache, I don't know which one to choose at all."

Lana: "If you don't know what to choose, choose B."

Kiawe: "C, C, C. Black Xia Si is an iron-blooded 787 real man. A real man should use his fists to solve problems. I want to choose C with Gardenia."

Sophocles: "I'm not choosing anymore, let's talk about the next question. Lillie, what do you choose?"

Lillie: "Sigh, I, I, I don't know. I'll just pick one at random."

After thinking about it, Lillie picked the most pleasing F.
