Chapter 337: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 148

The Sylveon in his arms.

So cute!

How could there be such a cute Pokémon?

Caitlin felt as if her heart was about to be melted by the Sylveon, which was squinting and enjoying itself in Xiang Qingyu's arms.

It's just that...

Why did it have to be that guy's Sylveon!

Caitlin's hand lifted unconsciously, wanting to reach out and pet the adorable Sylveon, but she realized what she was doing in an instant, shook her head repeatedly, and pulled it back.

And her small movements naturally did not escape Xiang Qingyu's eyes.

As expected, Caitlin has absolutely no resistance to this kind of pink, cute Pokémon.

However, if she didn't say anything, he couldn't possibly take the initiative to ask if she wanted to pet it!

Xiang Qingyu thought silently to himself.

Just then, Linyu Mengmeng also turned her gaze toward the Sylveon in his hands, her eyes instantly softening as if they could spin silk.

"Teacher Yu's Sylveon is just too cute! Can I pet it?"

"Of course you can."

Xiang Qingyu nodded and added another sentence.

"However, this child might be a little heavy, so be careful when holding it."

"Sylveon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sylveon immediately let out a dissatisfied cry, and at the same time, the ribbons on its body gently tapped Xiang Qingyu's arm.

"Commenting on a lady's weight is a very rude behavior, you know~"

Seeing this, Champion Zhulan smiled, then patted the Sylveon's little head, "accusing" Xiang Qingyu on her behalf.

The Sylveon also seemed to be throwing a little tantrum; it flipped over in Xiang Qingyu's arms, kicked off hard, and leaped toward Linyu Mengmeng, who caught it steadily.

"..."

Xiang Qingyu scratched his head, not expecting that the Sylveon would have such a small change in personality after evolving.

It seems to have become more... clingy?

But after all, it is a Fairy-type Sylveon, so this is very reasonable!

Silently watching the incredibly well-behaved Sylveon in Linyu Mengmeng's arms, Caitlin's gaze clearly carried a hint of envy.

Damn it, I really want to pet it...

With the fifty-jin-heavy cutie gone from his arms, Xiang Qingyu stretched his body and felt that his whole person was much lighter.

It was also at this moment that he discovered that besides his own group, there were two somewhat familiar figures in this clearing.

The two, a man and a woman, were both wearing clothing with distinct Kitakami Village characteristics, and their gazes were fixed directly on him.

They seemed to be spectators attracted by the battle between him and Nimo just now.

And these two, Xiang Qingyu actually recognized...

Carmine and Kieran!

(Carmine (left), Kieran (right))

As the two main characters in the Teal Mask DLC, how could Xiang Qingyu not recognize them?

However, it was precisely because he recognized them that his gaze was slightly complicated.

The personalities of this pair of siblings in the plot really couldn't be called likable...

And after discovering that Xiang Qingyu had noticed them, Carmine, as the older sister, quickly walked over first.

Her younger brother Kieran seemed to have a bit of social anxiety; after looking around a few times, he still honestly followed behind his sister, while also trying his best to hide behind her, blocking the gazes of Xiang Qingyu and the others.

"Hello, the battle just now was truly spectacular. You must all be very powerful Trainers."

After waiting until they were closer, Danyu quickly took the initiative to speak.

"My name is Danyu, and I'm a trainer from Kitakami Village. I originally saw you all battling and intended to challenge you, but..."

"It looks like your Pokémon are already very tired, so I'll put that plan on hold for now. Let me take you to the Pokémon Center in Mossui Town to get them treated first!"

?

Xiang Qingyu was stunned.

Judging from the game's plot, Carmine seemed to be a very exclusionary person; to enter Mossui Town, one had to defeat her in a battle first.

However, he quickly realized that Carmine was a stubborn person at heart who respected the strong.

Moreover, looking at the current timeline, neither of them should have enrolled in Blueberry Academy yet; they might just be beginner trainers.

It must have been the battle between him and Nimo just now that piqued their interest, which is why they came over to greet them, right?

"Then thank you, Miss Carmine."

Xiang Qingyu smiled slightly and accepted her kindness.

"So, so cool!"

Just then, the boy hiding behind Carmine poked his head out, staring straight at Xiang Qingyu with a gaze that seemed filled with longing.

But when Xiang Qingyu looked at him, the boy immediately pulled his head back, as if he were very afraid of making eye contact.

?

Xiang Qingyu scratched his head.

What is going on here...

How come I feel like I haven't done anything yet, and Kieran has suddenly become my little fanboy?

Shouldn't this be the treatment reserved for that Paldean succubus of the protagonist?

Seeing Xiang Qingyu's confused expression, Carmine quickly spoke up to explain for her younger brother, while introducing him:

"What this child means is that your performance in the battle just now was very cool."

"His name is Kieran, my younger brother. He has hoped to become a powerful Trainer since he was a child, so he was so excited after watching your battle just now."

While speaking, Carmine also reached out and pulled Kieran out from behind her.

"If you want to become an excellent Trainer, show some spirit and be more confident!"

"Ye-yes!"

After being forcibly pulled to her side by his sister, Kieran looked up at Xiang Qingyu, revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, and took a deep breath—

"Hello, I'm Kieran! I hope we can become friends!"

"Good, very spirited!"

The performance of this pair of siblings, which was like a crosstalk act, made everyone present unable to help but smile.

Xiang Qingyu was the same; after a slight smile, he took the initiative to reach out to Kieran:

"Hello, Kieran."

"I am Xiang Qingyu from the Paldea region, currently a very ordinary Gym Leader."

"So this gentleman is actually a Gym Leader? How amazing!"

Carmine became inexplicably excited.

As for Kieran in front of her, after staring blankly at Xiang Qingyu for a few seconds, his face suddenly turned red, and while turning his head away, he took the initiative to reach out.

"Umm..."

"We actually became friends, so happy..."

Wait a minute?

Why are you blushing like a bubble teapot?

Why does this kid look like a star-chaser who succeeded...

Xiang Qingyu frowned slightly, realizing that things were not simple.

Afterward, under Xiang Qingyu's introduction, their group got to know these two local siblings from Kitakami Village.

Just as Carmine was preparing to take them to the Pokémon Center in Mossui Town, Xiang Qingyu suddenly felt a scorching gaze and immediately turned his head back.

Although he didn't see the face, he noticed a pair of somewhat familiar little feet in the bushes.

(Jailer!)

This is...

Xiang Qingyu's gaze went blank for a moment, and he quickly reacted.

He couldn't be mistaken, that is...

Ogerpon's jailer!

"Poni?!"

Seemingly sensing the gaze from Xiang Qingyu, the figure secretly observing them from afar suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Afterward, it immediately trotted away and disappeared.

I slightly modified the character settings, otherwise the plot of meeting these two for the first time would be too unlikable...

However, if you look at the plot carefully, Kieran's super fanboy feeling before he turned dark was actually quite cute!

I will probably correct Kieran's personality in the later plot, so please rest assured, dear readers, I will not write disgusting characters~ (∠ω<)⌒☆
