Chapter 497: Fighting Shimi Again, Citron and his sister Yurika
"Then I will be waiting for your arrival."

Luo Mu readily agreed to Zhimi's request.

If you want your farm’s products to be seen by the world, word of mouth and visibility are both essential.

Just like what Luo Mu had thought before, promoting farm products through a strange tree that would become popular one day in the future was also a way to increase visibility.

The farm’s crops and ingredients are purchased by Zhimi’s restaurant, which can also spread the farm’s reputation on a small scale but with high quality.

It is beneficial to both parties and a win-win situation. Why wouldn't Luo Mu agree?

Perhaps it was because he finally had the opportunity to release the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, Zhimi seemed to have opened up and talked a lot with Luo Mu.

As we chatted, we came back to the original question.

Zhimi looked at Luo Mu curiously and asked, "Who are you going to pick up at the airport? It can't be me, right?"

Shimi said the last part in a teasing tone.

If you think about it, you will know that all your actions were impulsive. How could Luo Mu know this clearly and still come to pick you up at the airport?

Zhimi was more inclined to believe that he was supposed to pick someone up at the airport and just happened to meet her, and it was all fate.

Since Zhimi mentioned this question, it was not a secret that could not be told, so Luo Mu replied: "What a coincidence, the guest I am waiting for is also from the Kalos area, maybe you know him."

"Oh?"

Zhimi raised his eyebrows and became interested.

"It's the Miare Gym Master, Xitron, and his sister." Luo Mu said.

Zhimi recalled, and his clenched right hand fell on the palm of his left hand, and he suddenly realized: "It's him!"

Even though Shimi seldom went to the alliance to handle affairs and devoted himself to his career as a chef, he had heard of the name Xitron.

Not only did this young man become the gym leader of Miare City, the most important city in the Kalos region, at a young age, he was also highly regarded by the Kalos League and was known as a genius with one in a million in inventive talent.

Speaking of which, at his own battle dinner, the Flame Chicken Mask who came with an invitation letter and was dressed a little strangely was using the invitation letter he had given to the Miare Gym.

It’s not surprising that Luo Mu knows that genius boy.

Zhimi also gave Luo Mu some little knowledge that even he knew.

For example, the circuit for the lighting system of the Prism Tower, a landmark building in Miare City, was developed independently by Citron.

There is also the Electric Bath City named after the device he developed.

The two had a very pleasant chat, and Zhimi also mentioned that Mr. Vladali had approached him several times afterwards to ask about Luo Mu, both openly and covertly.

This left Luo Mu speechless.

Time passed quickly, and the airport began to broadcast that Carlos Diamond Airlines flight D0719 was about to land.

Zhimi's attention was focused on the Roentgen cat beside Luo Mu.

Zhimi has been paying attention to this Roentgen cat for a long time, but he was talking about other things before and it was not easy to change the topic and bring it to it.

Zhimi turned around and asked, "Who is this Roentgen cat?"

Being mentioned suddenly, the Roentgen cat, who was lying quietly beside Luo Mu's legs with his eyes closed, looked up at Zhimi. Luo Mu also cooperated very well and stroked its thick fur with a unique feel, and replied: "He is my original Pokémon."

With just nine short words, Zhimi understood the importance of the Roentgen cat Yu Zhiluomu in front of him.

And the strength that will definitely not let him down.

He suggested excitedly, "Let's have a battle later. Since then, the strength of Blastoise and I has improved a lot."

(_)?
Luo Mu looked stunned and asked, "Are you sure?"

Mega Blastoise can't even beat my Blademaster, and it wants to beat my Roentgen Cat?
Unexpectedly, Zhimi seemed to have made up his mind, and nodded excitedly, "I'm sure!"

Having a hearty Pokémon battle can also help you release the stress that has been accumulating for a long time!
I didn’t have the chance to fight against Luo Mu’s absolute main force last time, but this time it’s just the right time to get rid of my worry!
Zhimi said so, and then he looked at the Roentgen cat who seemed eager to try and verify the results of the recent special training.

Luo Mu could only compromise and said, "Then wait until I pick up the person, then go and fight."

Shimi then asked, "What about the battle venue?"

"I'll arrange it, you don't have to worry about it."

As for battle venues and the like, just use the ready-made ones.

Anyway, there is a private fighting area inside the Niangguang Gym, which is usually used by Qishu for his own training or to accept assessments from the alliance.

Just ask her to borrow the venue and it's done.

Thinking that the time was about right, Luo Mu stood up and looked towards the terminal in the distance. Through the spotless glass windows, he could see that a white passenger plane had already docked outside.

It's time to go pick up the plane.

Luo Mu called Roentgen Cat and strode towards the terminal exit. Seeing this, Zhimi also picked up his precious kitchenware box and followed.

"Is this the Padilla region? The air is indeed fresher than in Carlos."

Hitlon grabbed the suitcase with one hand, held his sister Yurika's hand tightly, and looked around curiously.

Yurika, who was a smart kid, was a little dissatisfied with her brother for still treating her like a child. She pouted and said, "This is just your illusion, brother."

Hitlon smiled awkwardly, unable to find sufficient reasons to refute his sister.

At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something, he untied the suitcase, pushed the frame of his glasses, and looked into the distance, "That's Mr. Luo Mu!"

"Really? Brother is so confused. Dad clearly told me that big brother Luo Mu would come to pick us up!"

Yurika pulled her little hand away from Hitlon's palm, made a face at him, and skipped towards Luo Mu who was waving at her.

She rushed over and hugged Luo Mu's thighs. Before she could say hello, her attention was attracted by the Roentgen cat beside her. She said with sparkling eyes: "Wow, it's the Roentgen cat!"

Luo Mu knew a little about Yurika's lively personality, and he didn't think she was frivolous. Instead, he thought it was normal for a child of this age to be so lively.

He simply smiled and touched Yurika's head, and said, "Yurika knows Roentgen Cat?"

"Yes! My brother said that the evolution of the Luke cat is the Roentgen cat!"

Yurika raised her face and responded.

Then, she asked Luo Mu openly.

"Brother Luo Mu, can I touch the Roentgen cat?"

Luo Mu also thought that Yulijia's personality was very interesting, so he smiled and nodded, "If it wants to, I have no objection."

"Great!"

Yurika cheered, took two or three steps to the front of the Roentgen cat, her eyes sparkling.

"Big cat, can I pet you?"

The cat looked at her and nodded.

Anyway, it has taken care of countless "children" with Luo Mu, so this request is nothing.

Yurika's eyes lit up, and she pounced directly on the Roentgen cat, burying her fair little face in the long fur.

Luo Mu felt jealous when he saw this.

Of course, what he envied was not Roentgen the cat, but Yurika.

After all, even he couldn't bury his face in the long fur of a Roentgen cat and pet it in public.

Well, I only dare to do it at home.

"Yurika, you are so rude!"

Citron, who was out of breath from running to catch up with his sister, said in a scolding tone.

"Brother, you are too tight-lipped!"

Sticking out her tongue at Citron, Yurika continued to enjoy the thick fur of the Roentgen cat.

Helplessly, Xitron could only bow to Luo Mu nervously and said apologetically: "Mr. Luo Mu, I really trouble you this time."

Before he could finish his words, Luo Mu interrupted him.

"There's no need to say those polite words. Your father and I are friends. Just call me your sister. There's no need to be so reserved."

Luo Mu patted Xitron on the shoulder, which eased the tension of this young man who thought about inventions all day long and had some shortcomings in interpersonal communication.

Xitron nodded slightly and hummed.

Zhimi, who had seen enough of the show, also appeared from behind Luo Mu at this time, smiled and waved at Xitron, saying: "Hey, young Xitron!"

Xitron was stunned at first, then his expression changed and he said in surprise: "Mr. Zhimi!"

Yurika on the side also pulled her face out of the cat hair trap of the Roentgen cat, looked at Shimi, and said with surprise: "It's the chef who cooks super delicious dishes, so delicious that Yurika even considered whether her brother should marry you!"

Luo Mu & Roentgen Cat: "."

Xitron on the side blushed even more.

Shimi smiled lightly and calmly, then squatted down slightly and placed an elegant kiss on the back of Yurika's hand.

"Thank you for the compliment, lovely and charming lady."

"only--"

"Your brother seems to need a beautiful bride more than I do."

"Okay."

Yurika blushed slightly and stammered a few times.

After picking up the Hitron siblings, Luo Mu successfully took them away from the Niaoguang International Airport.

Also traveling with them were the Four Heavenly Kings of Water in the Kalos region and Chef Shimi.

The next destination is the Niangguang Dojo.

Upon hearing that Luo Mu and Zhimi were planning to have a sparring match, Xitron was extremely surprised and agreed without hesitation to postpone his plan to visit Niangguang City.

The battle between the Elite Four and the champion trainer of the Padia region, this battle alone is enough to make the plane ticket worthwhile!

Yulika sat on the back of the Roentgen cat, experiencing a riding sensation different from that of the Leke cat. She felt that everything in Niangguang City was very new and she often had a hundred thousand questions.

During the journey, Hitron curiously asked Zhimi why he was here, but Zhimi did not tell him clearly and just found an excuse to fool him.

Although Xitron is not good at interpersonal communication, he is inexplicably sensitive in some areas.

He thought about it and decided not to dig deeper.

For example, questions like why Shimi suddenly left the Kalos area when the restaurant was extremely popular.

After all, when Zhimi's restaurant opened not long ago, the other party invited his family to go and taste the food.

After walking for a while on the streets of Nianguang City.

The outline of the Niangguang Dojo appeared in the field of vision.

Qi Shu, who had just ended the live broadcast and was still angry, was already waiting in front of the gym.

Ignoring her little emotions, she is quite enthusiastic.

Qi Shu didn't want to receive Luo Mu originally, as she was still holding a grudge.

Miss Qishu still remembers clearly the day when she and her temporary partner Dadian Haiyan were defeated and lost face. She almost put a sign in the Niangguang Gym saying that Luo Mu and the paparazzi are not allowed to enter.

As for the Jigglypuff?
Miss Qishu doesn't want to offend Miss Joy!

The hateful Luo Mu brought up President Ye Ci and put the blame on her, saying that the president would be angry if she neglected the distinguished guests from the Carlos region!
Qi Shu forced a stiff smile, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth, and said with a fake smile: "The battle field is ready, follow me."

Luo Mu didn't feel anything yet, but Xitron's body trembled as if he was frightened by the strange tree.

Yurika, on the other hand, stared at Qishu's back, thinking about what Shimi had just said, thoughtfully.

Follow Qishu into the Niangguang Gym and all the way to the battle site.

Zhimi looked around and praised generously, "This is a pretty good battle field. I can feel how carefully the owner has maintained it!"

After all the praises, the strange tree was immediately overwhelmed with praise.

He happily ran to act as a referee.

And Shimi winked at Luo Mu.

You cooperated well, right?

Luo Mu nodded at him very politely and walked to the other side.

Hitlon and Yurika also sat in the viewing seats one after the other.

Especially Xitron, he stared at the Roentgen cat in front of Luo Mu with a slightly fanatical look, took out three Poké Balls and tapped the button.

Red light shot out, and in the blink of an eye, three Pokémon appeared.

Lukecat, Umbrella Lizard, and Rotom.

All of the Pokémon are Electric-attribute, which corresponds to Hitlon's identity as an Electric-attribute gym leader.

He looked unusually excited, and warned the three Pokémon, "Everyone must watch the battle carefully and don't miss any details!"

As a champion-level trainer whose trump card is electricity, for Citron, Luo Mu is the person he admires and wants to learn from.

Luckily he brought a camera with him, and this time he must record the entire battle!
The three Pokémon responded.

Especially the Luke cat, not to mention the Roentgen cat as its evolved form, how much experience it can gain from watching the battle.

It was from Xitron that it heard that it was Luo Mu and Zhihuixing who acted as matchmakers that allowed it to renew its relationship with Xitron, and its eyes became extremely serious.

Putting aside her personal feelings for the moment, Qi Shu, whose puffy face had eased a little, naturally did not miss the movement over there. She glanced at the audience and whispered, "Is that boy also a user of electricity?"

At this time, Luo Mu and Zhimi were also ready.

"I am the Roentgen cat here."

Luo Mu smiled slightly.

The Roentgen cat swiftly stepped into the battlefield, with electric light flashing all over its body.

Shimi took a deep breath, clenched the Poké Ball in his hand, and threw it.

"Even if it's not sweet at all, you'll still benefit a lot when you savor it -

Savor this battle, Blastoise!"

Bang!
After a heavy landing sound, amidst the flying dust, a water arrow turtle with a heavy shell on its back stood on the field.
