Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"Hey, who is it?"

After hearing the old voice on the phone, everyone immediately focused their attention on the phone.

Ikki happily hummed and looked down at Riolu in his arms.

"I told you I didn't lie!"

Riolu nodded and motioned for him to answer the phone quickly, because the voice on the phone was already a little impatient.

"Hello..." Ikki picked up the phone receiver.For some reason, there was no picture displayed on the phone screen, so Riolu and Junsha couldn't tell what kind of person he was.

"Oh, it's the kid from that time. What's the matter? Oh, by the way, how was the insect repellent spray I gave you that time? Did it work well?" The store manager's voice was friendlier than when we met at that time. Less, although he still had that lazy tone.

[Ask him where he is! 】

Junsha picked up the notebook and wrote down the questions she wanted to ask Ikki.

"Oh...then where are you now?"

The old man paused and replied: "I have moved away now. After all, there are not many guests there. If you want to maintain it, you have to find another way out. I haven't found a suitable place yet, so you can't find me." , I’m really sorry for not telling you in advance.”

After hearing the store manager's answer, Ikki and Riolu's first reaction was: He is lying!

"Okay, now you should tell me how the results are. Don't say that you called me just to chat!"

"How is that possible! The effect is very good. After using it, I didn't see any elves along the way. There is just one shortcoming. Even my own elves can't stand it, so I haven't used it a few times."

"Well..." The old man was silent for a while, which made Ikki a little nervous. He held Riolu's arms harder, almost suffocating him.Junsha connected a data cable to the phone and operated something through the computer.

"Well, it seems that we need to study something similar to an antidote." After the old man muttered to himself, he said to the phone again: "Okay, I already understand it. When the time comes, I will decide on the location. Please take good care of me, kid!"

After hanging up the phone, Ikki let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden on his body had finally been lifted. He looked down at Riolu and smiled happily.

"Little brother!" Junsha spoke at this time, "I have found the place where the signal was sent when he was talking, but there is a problem..." Junsha looked at Yihui with a wry smile on her face, "We are now because Regarding the performance in Hualan City, I can't leave my post for the time being, so I can't investigate, so can I ask you..."

Looking at it like this, he definitely wanted to ask Ikki for a favor.Riolu lay helplessly on Ikki's arm, not knowing whether to let Ikki agree or refuse.

"But we also came to watch a show, and that incident was completely beyond my ability to handle! What if they are bad people?"

Yihui reluctantly said to Junsha. Junsha stared at the computer screen for a while, gritted her teeth and said to herself: "Do we really have to let them go?"

Here, he could no longer help, so he was about to turn around and leave.Junsha had no choice but to sigh helplessly, picked up the walkie-talkie on her waist, and issued an order in a very tangled manner: "Everyone! There is a case that needs someone to investigate now, so except for those who need to go, other people's working hours extend!"

"Yes!"

On the way back to the Cerulean Gym, Ikki held his chin, wondering what he was thinking.Riolu, on the other hand, was holding the illustrated book and looking for information about ghost elves.

When leaving, he seemed to hear Junsha mention the name Ziyuan City, which should be the place where the old man called.But no matter how you think about it, it makes people feel strange. The old man gave Ikki the number and Ikki said it was left before he moved away, but how did he know where to move?He also deliberately left a phone number. This is obviously not the number of words that a mobile phone should have, but a landline. In other words, he had already decided to come to Shion City before giving Ikki the number...

'I kind of want to investigate. '

"What's wrong Riolu?"

I don't know when, Ikki was already staring at me, and it seemed like he had been staring at him for a long time.

Riolu shook his head and continued walking forward.

'We still can't involve Ikki. '

to let one

Isn’t it too unrealistic for a child to help the police with their investigations?

The preparations for the Hualan Gym were ready, and the little sea lions had regained their vitality. Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were also back. Although there was no gain, seeing that the problem had been solved, they all felt relieved and gathered in the lounge to eat Sister Sakura's cooking. snacks.

Ikki pushed open the door and walked in. Xiaoxia, who had been waiting for him, quickly came to him and held his hand.

"Thank you, Ikki. If you weren't here with Little Sea Lion, he might have had some sequelae. Fortunately, you are here, and we will definitely repay you! If you have any requests, just ask us, and we will find a way to satisfy you!"

Sakura covered her mouth and snickered: "Yes, yes, he is Xiaoxia's boyfriend after all!" "Xiaoxia has also begun to step into the ranks of adults, why not express it?" Iris also echoed.

"Uh... uh! You two are really serious, let's see how I teach you a lesson!" Xiaoxia blushed immediately after what they said, and started to make trouble after chasing them.

When no one was paying attention, Mudan sneaked around behind Riolu and lifted him up.

"Olu?"

"You also want to participate in the performance! Come and rehearse, rehearse!"

"Wait? Do we want it too?" Ikki asked.

"Of course, after all, this time Xiaoxia, the most beautiful mermaid in our Hualan Gym, will star!"

"What? Me?" Xiaoxia stopped chasing after hearing the sound, and stood looking at Sakura with an expression of "Did I hear it wrong?"

"Of course, we have already decided, don't refuse your sisters' request!"

"But...I just came back, performing or something..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Mudan walked to Xiaoxia holding the reluctant Riolu and patted her shoulder hard, "You can definitely do it!"

Then, after some "intense" brainwashing, Xiaoxia finally surrendered to Sakura's offensive.

"I just said that Xiaoxia will not be able to refuse Sister Sakura's request. Look!" "Yes, yes, you are right!"

Riolu was taken to the fitting room, although he was forced to do so.

'Ahhh!When can I learn telepathy? Why don’t I have such a convenient ability? ’ he roared in his mind.

I couldn't speak, I couldn't refuse.

There are many elves in the fitting room, most of them are of the water type, and there are also a few of other types, probably for the purpose of adjusting the venue or facilities.

"Okay, let me help you pick out a performance outfit! Oh! By the way" Calamus walked in slowly and opened the wardrobe next to Riolu. As if he remembered something, he knelt down and looked at Riolu, " The role you want to play is that of the pirate's henchman, played by us. It's not difficult. Just say that you will follow us. Do you...understand?" Calamus asked softly, as if he was a little unsure.

"Olu!" Riolu nodded.

Although he has not acted much, if he is just a supporting role, it should not be difficult to deal with.

"That's easy," Calamus stood up and continued to choose costumes, "Here you go, my cute little guy!"

Riolu took the blue-black costume from Calamus and looked at it for a moment. He felt that it was quite fancy and had too many meaningless accessories. However, since they chose it themselves, he would try it. Give it a try.

Since his hands had turned into claws, he couldn't do anything like tying buttons, so Acorus did it for him.When I came to the mirror, I turned around and realized that the fancy costume and the black pattern in the shape of an eyepatch on my face were actually kind of cool.Sighing, picking out clothes is indeed a woman's specialty.

"Okay, everyone, cheer up, we have a performance tomorrow, start rehearsing quickly!"

"Oh!"

Ikki, Xiaozhi, and Xiaogang were sitting in the audience, helping Sakura and the others review the effects of the program.

Xiaogang and Xiaozhi couldn't count on them at all. Xiaogang had turned into caring eyes and stared at them intently, while Xiaozhi had no appreciation at all, so the most important thing was to look at Ikki.

At this time, outside the gym, three figures sneakily climbed onto the arched glass roof, watching everything inside.
