Pokémon Heart Journey

"This is Red Lotus Island."

After successfully landing on Crimson Lotus Island, Xiaozhi couldn't help but look around curiously. He looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

But it's no wonder. After all, Xiaozhi hasn't been to a town inhabited by humans for some time, and the only human around him is Xiaoyang.

"Why are they looking at us with such strange eyes?"

Xiaozhi immediately noticed that the other party was looking at him and Xiaoyang with a strange look, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Xiao Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xiao Zhi when he heard his question and said, "Look at what a mess we are in now. We're just a little better than homeless people."

Xiaoyang and Xiaozhi didn't bring too many clothes when they were on Lanling Island. They only used three sets of clothes in rotation. Of course, if it was just that, it would be fine. However, since the conditions on Lanling Island were not so good, they often encountered some special weather, and the clothes looked a little worn out due to the rough washing. ?

"Uh, is it like this?" Xiaozhi looked at his outfit and felt that it was indeed a bit tattered.

"Anyway, let's go to the hotel that Sundae mentioned. Maybe she has been waiting there for a long time."

"Yeah, that's true," Xiaozhi nodded, then took Xiaoyang and walked in one direction.

.........

"Um... the hotel you're talking about is this, right?"

Xiaoyang turned his head stiffly and asked Xiaozhi who was also stunned.

Xiaozhi picked up the business card in his hand with some uncertainty. After looking at it carefully for a while, he nodded blankly and said, "This should be the place."

Looking at this hotel called "Emerald Star", Xiao Yang, who has lived two lives, couldn't help but complain: "This is not a hotel at all, it's clearly a big manor, okay?"

What caught their eyes was the magnificent limestone facade, which shone softly in the sun, as if it was the whisper of time telling of the ancient nobility.

The inn's porch is spacious and elegant, flanked by meticulously manicured French gardens, where every flower is in full bloom, showing off its brightest colors.

Above the high arched door, the exquisite iron balcony is like a crown, inlaid with delicate carvings, revealing a low-key luxury. When you enter the door, you will be attracted by the gorgeous revolving door, which is made of dark oak and inlaid with colored glass. Every step is accompanied by a soft musical sound.

And this is just the exterior layout; we don’t know how luxurious the interior will be.

"Should we go in?" Xiao Yang asked hesitantly, looking at his outfit that didn't match the hotel at all. "Will we be thrown out as soon as we go in?"

"Forehead…"

Xiaozhi was about to say something when he suddenly noticed a middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses walking towards them.

He bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Xiaozhi, this should be Mr. Xiaoyang, right? Miss Sundai has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."

As he spoke, he extended his hand and motioned for the two to follow him.

"Uh, are you Mr. Keith?" Xiaozhi looked at the familiar person in front of him and couldn't help but recall the driver of Sundae's family when he first met Sundae.

"I didn't expect that you still remember me, Mr. Xiaozhi? Yes, I am Miss Sundae's exclusive driver, Keith." The other party seemed a little surprised that Xiaozhi still remembered him, but still responded politely.

After seeing that it was someone they knew, both parties no longer had any concerns and followed Keith towards the hotel.

The waiters at the door were dressed in traditional uniforms and greeted them politely. It was not known whether it was because of Keith or because they themselves had extremely high qualities, but they did not look down on Xiaozhi and the others' attire at all. They respectfully made a "please" gesture to them.

The layout inside was indeed as Xiaoyang had imagined, extremely exaggerated, and he simply could not describe it in words.

Decorative wall lamps and chandeliers not only provide light, but also display works of art. Their design is both retro and modern, making people stop to appreciate them. Whether it is the exquisitely carved stone pillars or the smooth lines, they all demonstrate the architect's ingenuity.

It feels like this is not only a place to stay, but more like a work of art, waiting for everyone who knows how to appreciate it to savor it carefully.

"By the way, Mr. Xiaozhi, I think you might want to..."

"Xiaozhi, you are finally here"

Just when Keith in front was about to say something, a pleasant voice reached the ears of Xiaozhi and the others. Xiaozhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure that he was very familiar with. After all, he had been talking to the person for the past three months.

Sundae waved happily to Xiaozhi and the others. Her white dress emitted a faint glow under the soft light. She was not adorned with complicated jewelry, and her neck and wrists were ethereal and clean.

Xiao Yang on the side was stunned by this scene. To be honest, Xiao Yang didn't know much about this girl who made Xiao Zhi blush in the anime. He didn't even have much impression of what she looked like. When Xiao Zhi was talking to her on the phone before, Xiao Yang just took a glance at her, but this was the first time he saw her in person.

Originally, he thought that without Misty and Brock, Xiaozhi might be at a disadvantage, but now it seems...

Thinking of this, Xiaoyang couldn't help but look at Xiaozhi, and his eyes clearly said: You boy are really lucky.

Xiaozhi was about to walk up to her and talk to her, but found that she suddenly stopped, covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes, which made Xiaozhi feel a little strange.

Just when Xiaozhi was about to ask, the other party spoke first, "Why do you smell so bad? How long has it been since you took a shower? Go to the hotel's bathroom and wash up."

"Ugh?"

Just when Xiaozhi was feeling confused about Sundae's words, some people suddenly appeared from nowhere and carried him and Xiaoyang away.

"Hey! Wait, what are you doing?"

"Pickup!"

"Calm down, they should take us to the bathroom, and I just want to take a good bath."

Looking at Xiaozhi and Xiaoyang being carried away, Sundae couldn't help but frowned, then he called Keith on the side and said to him: "Keith, please prepare a few sets of clothes for Xiaozhi and the others. They don't need to be too luxurious, just as ordinary as possible. Also, after Xiaozhi and the others are washed, just take them directly to the dining place."

"I understand, Miss Sundae," Keith nodded at her and then walked into the hotel.

After finishing his instructions, Sundae returned to his room to prepare.
