Chapter 218: Citron and Vladali, an invitation from Vladali

"Then please send the Electric Dragon to the Pokémon Center. And please keep what you saw today a secret from Citron."

Limone asked the referee with his hands clasped together.

The referee naturally knew what Limonet meant and nodded slightly: "I understand, just like always, right?"

Limone smiled awkwardly and waved to the referee as he left.

Because Hitlon has become increasingly busy since he became the gym owner, as a father who loves his son very much, he would occasionally bring Electric Dragon to cover for a day or two, and over time he became familiar with the referee.

After arranging matters with the Electric Dragon, Limonai turned to Luo Mu and asked, "Do we really not have to go to the Pokémon Center?"

At this time, Luo Mu had just treated Windy's electric shock injuries and the numbness that came like a tide after the battle. He touched Windy's head as if in appreciation and put it back into the Poké Ball.

After doing all this, Luo Mu replied: "I also have a partner with Electric Pokémon. Practice between them always leads to injuries. Over time, I can deal with the injuries left by Electric attacks skillfully."

"Also, because of the energy blocking of the Flash Charge, Windspeed only suffered some minor injuries, but it only looks a little scary."

Limone: “.”

Thinking of the severe burns all over the body of the electric dragon, Limone's mouth twitched. Although the electric dragon is not specialized in physical strength, is this physical quality too poor?

After calming down, Limone extended his hand to Luo Mu: "It seems that you really don't have any extra thoughts about Xitron. I apologize for my suspicion."

Luo Mu extended his hand back and shook it, smiling: "It's okay, after all, he is a well-known inventor genius in the Kalos region, it's normal for you to be cautious."

The two smiled at each other. Friendship between trainers is always established so quickly. A fight can determine whether the other person is someone worth making friends with.

Limone put his arm around Luo Mu's shoulder like a good brother and said with a smile, "It just so happens that no one has made an appointment for a gym battle this morning. Citron will probably be back around noon. You are from Padia, so this must be your first time in the Kalos region."

"How about it? Do you want me, a local, to take you on a tour? Even though I'm like this, I still have a lot of connections. I can take you through the back door at many attractions without having to queue up."

Luo Mu originally wanted to refuse, but Limone’s last words made him feel a little moved.

Indeed, having a local connection makes traveling a lot more convenient.

Not to mention that Zhihuixing also poked him telepathically, saying that instead of taking a chance to buy the Mialegre pie at 13: p.m., which might have a long queue, he might as well ask Limone if he had any connections.

So the words came out of my mouth.

"I want to buy some Mialegre pies as souvenirs, and I also want to visit the famous Miale Art Museum. Is that okay?"

Luo Mu looked at Limone. The last request was added at the strong request of Zhi Huixing, although Luo Mu had no interest in art.

Limonebear gave a thumbs up and patted his chest: "Leave it to me!"

Under Limone's leadership, Luo Mu once again experienced the comfort of having someone in the court.

It's true that Limone has a lot of connections in Miare City. There's no need to queue up for Miare pies. Limone took Luo Mu directly into the store from the back and returned with several large boxes.

After putting the souvenirs back at the hotel, Limone took Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing to visit the famous Miare Art Museum.

The key point is that today is the closing day of the Miare Art Museum, but Limone directly asked someone to take them in.

Luo Mu couldn't understand any of those art paintings, but Zhi Huixing was fascinated by them. Luo Mu couldn't tell for a moment whether he was a human or Zhi Huixing was a human.

How come I don’t have any artistic talent at all?

During this time, Limone also asked Luo Mu what he wanted to see Citron about. Luo Mu did not hide anything and told him the whole story about the Lukecat who was waiting for Citron in the Electric Pokémon Academy.

When Limonene brought Luo Mu back to the Miare Gym, a blond boy in a jumpsuit was standing in the gym chatting with a tall, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, red-haired man with a lion head.

The blond boy is naturally the Hitlon that Luo Mu is waiting for. He looks to be about twelve or thirteen years old. At this age, he has already achieved the achievements of an inventor. In the future, he seems to have invented a groundbreaking invention such as the Rotom Illustrated Book.

He truly deserves the title of young genius.

The other person was not so wonderful. If Luo Mu remembered correctly, he should be
Fradali.

As if they had noticed the return of Luo Mu and Limone, Xitron and Vladali, who were chatting, turned around. The moment they saw Limone, Xitron's eyes lit up for a moment.

Limone knew his son's personality. He was not good at socializing, liked to bury his head in work, was easily shy, a little unconfident, and was particularly bad at rejecting others.

He remembered that the man should be Vladali, the director of the Vladali Institute. It was rumored that he had done a lot of good deeds and helped many poor people in the Kalos region. Although he gradually stopped doing these things, Vladali's good deeds were still well known to everyone.

Even the hottest female star and champion in the Kalos region, Karuna, chose to endorse the holographic image communicator invented by their research institute because of Fladali's reputation. But for some reason, Limone always felt that he couldn't like Fladali from the bottom of his heart.

"father!"

There was an imperceptible joy in Xitron's voice, as if Limone's arrival had helped him out.

Limone nodded: "Citron, and Mr. Fradali."

Xitron rushed towards Limone, hugged him, looked at Luo Mu curiously, and asked, "Dad, who is this?"

"He is Luo Mu, so he can be considered as your father's friend."

Limoney looked at Luo Mu with a smiling look in his eyes for a moment, and Luo Mu tacitly accepted this identity. In a way, this would make things easier.

Luo Mu greeted, "Hello, Xitron."

Although he was a little curious about why Limone had a young friend like Luo Mu, Xitron still said politely: "Hello, Brother Luo Mu."

Without waiting for Luo Mu's response, Vladali, with a smile on his face, walked into the circle of three people in a familiar manner. He was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was born with some kind of leadership and trustworthy power.

"Since your father has returned, I will take my leave now. Mr. Xitron, I hope you can consider my invitation. The Fradali Institute guarantees to give you the best treatment and allow you to study your favorite technological inventions to your heart's content."

Luo Mu on the side twitched his mouth and said that his favorite technological invention was probably the super evolution energy collector or the development of the Zygarde thermal imager.

Xitron hesitated and said: "I"

Limonene suddenly stood in front of Citron and smiled at Fradari, "He is still young, and his work as a gym leader is busy enough. There is no need for him to take on other positions for the time being."

"Mr. Fradali, please go back."

Faced with Limone's explicit and implicit orders to expel him, Vladali was not annoyed at all. After a carefree smile, his eyes swept across the silent Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing beside him, and a hint of surprise appeared between his brows.

That wise monkey was well-bred, and seemed to have the magical power to attract people's attention and make them fall deeply in love with it.

Fladali had seen Champion Karunari's Gardevoir, and that Gardevoir also had this trait. He remembered that this seemed to be called by scholars as a characteristic of powerful psychic Pokémon?
Fladali recalled Limone’s introduction just now. This person was called Luo Mu by Limone. He looked very young. He had no impression of him. Was he a new trainer?
It just so happened that the organization was lacking some combat talents, and the only person who could be considered suitable was the young man with the fire dinosaur that he had met in the ruins before. It would be better to invite him to help him collect energy for super evolution.

With a hint of interest in his eyes, Vladali took out a business card from his pocket and inserted it into the shirt pocket of the surprised Luo Mu.

"Mr. Luo Mu, our Fradali Research Institute is actually short of combat talents. You should understand that we need to collect data in the wild."

"If you are interested, you can always contact me using the contact information on the business card."

After he finished speaking, Vladali, who knew that Limone was not very fond of him, did not give Luo Mu a chance to refuse. He just waved his hand and got on the elevator leaving the Prism Tower.

When Limone is not around, there will be plenty of opportunities to invite Xitron and Luo Mu.

After Vladali left, Luo Mu could no longer hold back. Looking at the business card in his hand, Luo Mu never expected that one day he would be recruited by the big villain in the Carlos region.

Glancing at the direction where Vladali left, Limone said in a deep voice: "Luo Mu, although this is just my personal opinion, you'd better not agree to Vladali. He gives me a bad feeling."

Citron looked up at Limone in confusion: "But isn't Mr. Fradali a kind-hearted man who has helped many poor people?"

Limone rubbed Xitron's head and said with a sly smile as Xitron wailed, "So you are still a child. Don't just look at the surface of things."

Citron held his head and walked away from Limonene, saying excitedly: "I am no longer a child. I am now the gym leader! If you really want to say it, Yurika is the child, okay?"

At this time, Luo Mu held up the business card given by Vladali and suddenly asked, "Where is the trash can?"

The two were stunned and said in unison: "Over there."

After a moment, Luo Mu, with nothing in his hands, returned to the two of them. He looked at Xitron with a calm gaze. Xitron was inexplicably nervous and wanted to retreat behind Limone.

To him, Luo Mu was just his father's friend in name only, but actually he was still a stranger.

Limone raised his eyebrows, put his big hand on Xitron's shoulder and pushed him forward. Xitron staggered, turned his head and looked at his father with a puzzled look like a poor puppy.

Limonene ignored his gaze and said in a deep voice: "As a man, there are some things you can't avoid, especially the mistakes you made when you were young!"

Xitron didn't know why Limone was so serious and was a little at a loss. At this time, Luo Mu came forward with Zhihuixing and said, "Xitron, let's talk about the Leke cat you abandoned."
