I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

Furnace City.

As the city has the same name, it is a place that is not too cold all year round due to the geographical environment. February and March may be the coldest months, but the lowest temperature here is only 14 degrees.

Comparable to fog.

In other words, Li Xiang didn't even need to change his clothes when he landed, he could just keep wearing the thin coat.

The climate is good.

If he could successfully find the Shining Stone on this trip, he might like this place a little more.

"Let's find someone first. Senior Sister Abigail seems to have said she would come to pick us up. Keep an eye out."

Li wanted to warn Lucario on the side.

The people of the Islands seemed to be accustomed to bringing a Pokémon with them at all times, and in line with the principle of doing as the locals do, he followed suit.

"Ouch!"

Lucario nodded and dragged the suitcase very naturally.

It is not a secret that he went to the archipelago area. After all, he is still a member of the school team, so his whereabouts cannot really be unknown.

When Abigail, a local, found out about it, the senior offered to take charge of his accommodation and, if necessary, serve as his travel guide before the official start of school in March.

It is naturally a good thing to have a place to live. It also avoids the trouble of renting a house or staying in a hotel and worrying about private space, but the travel guide... is best not to avoid involving Abigail.

The two reached a consensus on [Ant], and Abigail took advantage of the situation and expressed that she would come to pick her up.

then.

Li Xiang began to look for that familiar figure at the airport pick-up port with Lucario, and took out his mobile phone to contact him.

What’s the only difficulty in getting Senior Abigail to pick you up at the airport?

It's this person's character who doesn't like to talk much that means she won't shout his name like others.

For a long time, the real-life communication between Li Xiang and Brother Cha has been less than one-tenth of the communication on Ant. But this does not mean that the latter has communication difficulties, it is just that the two parties do not meet often, and there are relatively few true words.

Abigail shouts louder than anyone else during the game, but she likes to use her hands more than her mouth. She is a practical person.

So it’s understandable that pick-up at the airport is all done via mobile phone——

"Ouch~oooooooo!!"

Li Xiang and Lucario, who were looking for Abigail, were immediately attracted by the long and familiar howl.

"Hey, yeah."

He smiled as expected, and in his sight were Heiluga with an evil look on his face, and Abigail holding a red balloon next to him and wearing a mask to cover his face.

"Isn't it too eye-catching?" He quickly leaned over and looked around. Heiluga's howl attracted the attention of many people.

Fortunately, it was just a casual look.

"It'll be fine if you just leave quickly."

Abigail glanced at the luggage in Lucario's hand, and a look of disappointment quickly flashed in her eyes. Yesterday, she asked Anya and others how to get along with juniors like younger brothers, and what they should pay attention to.

After discussing it all night, she finally compiled a manual, and one of the small details was helping with luggage.

It's a pity that he got off to a bad start.

Lucario, who was walking behind, tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. He could use waveguides to sense emotions, so he couldn't see through Abigail's intentions. He thought he would have helped with the backpack if he had known better.

Arrive outside the airport.

Abigail walked directly to a monster-like pickup truck, opened the back door, took the suitcase from Lucario and stuffed it inside.

"Senior Abi, is this your own car?" Li Xiang was a little surprised when he saw the other party nodding in response.

I never expected that Brother Cha would have the same aesthetics as his father Li Zhehan in the car. His father liked to drive such monster-like things.

Of course, only the types, styles and brands are different.

"It's ugly?" Abigail frowned slightly, thinking that Li Xiang hated this kind of car.

The latter immediately shook his head. He was just a little shocked. Sure enough, Brother Cha was called Brother Cha for a reason.

Abigail's brows slowly relaxed. She came here because she heard that boys would find this kind of muscular monster handsome. Originally, she wanted to switch to a nanny car with a more comfortable riding experience.

Li Xiang got into the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt and asked, "Where are we going next? Senior Abi's house?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the back seat to confirm that Lucario and Heiluga were already in the car.

"To be precise, it's my grandpa's... grandpa's house. It's relatively far from the city, and there are often wild Pokémon there. You should like it."

Abigail started the pickup skillfully and started very steadily like an experienced driver.

Grandpa’s house?

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Abigail's father was from Zhuxia who came to the archipelago area to develop, and her mother was a native of the archipelago, which could be regarded as a mixture of the two regions.

But she was right. She did prefer to live in a quieter place in the suburbs than in the noisy and bustling urban area.

Of course, it would be even more gratifying to have internet and electricity.

He looked out the window at the scenery along the road, anticipating what Abigail's grandfather's house would look like.

Abigail, who was driving, tried to chat with him several times but gave up. She really didn't know what kind of topics boys liked... How about talking about each other's Pokémon?

finally.

Abigail decided to focus on driving.

Li Xiang, who was looking out the window, was also thinking.

New Furnace City has not completely covered up the pain of the past. The ruins of buildings can still be seen everywhere. At most, they are covered up with some cloth.

What was once a famous tourist city in the world is now as riddled with holes as the lower urban areas in many countries in the Zhongcheng area. It really makes people don’t know what to say. If the four island gods were not missing, they should come to rescue them anyway.

So where did they go?

For a while.

His mind flew to the sky.

In the front seat of the pickup truck, one of the two trainers was driving seriously, while the other was distracted looking at the scenery, completely unaware of what was happening to the Pokémon in the back seat.

But actually nothing big happened.

It was just a trivial matter that a certain demon dog swelled up a little after getting the super evolution and tried to tease it with a bark. However, the dog held down the horned dog's head with one paw and had to struggle frantically to regain its breath.

"Ouch!"

How could such a decent person like Abigail-senpai raise a Pokémon like you?

Lucario suppressed his cry, but his eyes were like two sharp swords, which stabbed Heiluga with cold sweat all over his body.

It really wants to tell the other person that someone with a personality like Wind Speed ​​Dog should be copied properly from Abigail. It can only be said to have inherited the trainer's ambition and desire to conquer.

It's a pity that Lucario didn't even give him a chance to speak.

Mader is so cruel.

Heiluga, with his head pressed against the seat, cried silently, regretting that he had provoked this guy.

…

Half an hour later.

The truck left the city, and the surrounding environment moved closer to the tropical rainforest. The golden sandy beach and blue seawater occupied Li Xiang's entire field of vision. The brackish water vapor accompanied by the sea breeze filled his nose.

The high sun releases a pleasant temperature, and both tourists and wild Pokémon appear to be full of life.

To be honest, the air in Huolu City, where tourism is developed, is cleaner than in Qingcheng, where shipping is developed.

"Lucario! What do you think the sea - uh, what are you doing?"

Li Xiang, who turned around with a smile, saw Lucario pressing Heiluga's head with one claw, and couldn't help but be shocked.

what's the situation?

Fighting?

It doesn’t look like Heiluga’s expression...

He looked at Lucario and asked it what was going on. The dog looked innocent and didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong?"

Abigail, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror, then looked away lightly. Before Li Xiang and Lucario could say anything, she said, "Hit me a few more times, don't be merciful. It really needs to be hit recently." Education educates.”

Heiluga, who was fully expecting to be rescued, was dumbfounded. Faced with Lucario's weird expression, he immediately showed a flattering smile. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move his head, his belly would probably be exposed by now.

Lucario decided, and silently retracted his claws, facing the opponent's relieved expression, thinking about getting out of the car and beating him in the car, but he couldn't use it anymore.

It has no fear after receiving the imperial edict!

"Ha ha……"

Li Xiang laughed awkwardly and used his eyes to signal Lucario not to make too much trouble. The latter responds with a cute gesture that reassures you.

in this way.

They continued driving for about an hour, and when they drove away from the coastline into a small village inland, Abigail's grandfather's home arrived.

It's not a particularly luxurious house. It has no features other than an exotic style. It's just an ordinary modern-style two-story house. The only surprising thing is that the greening is too exaggerated.

Surrounding the house are two giant trees that must be hundreds of years old, and there are countless shrubs and haystacks around.

And the most classic coconut tree, and the Alola coconut egg tree mixed in the coconut tree.

"Na suck~"

The three big yellow heads made a loud cry.

"Oh! Are guests coming?"

A strong gray-haired old man in cool clothes walked out of the house. His skin was a healthy wheat color, and he looked a bit like Hala, the king of the island in the sun and moon.

"Hey! Welcome! Abi's classmate, you are so handsome, young man! You look much better than on TV!" The old man said in Zhuxia dialect with a weird accent, and gave Li Xiang, who had just got off the car, a big hug.

Abigail in the car said something, and the old man replied shortly.

But since he didn't understand it at all, he had to keep smiling.

"Sorry, sorry, Abby asked me not to be so enthusiastic. Don't you like this... tone very much?" the old man said apologetically, tilting his head to think again, as if he was very concerned about whether he had used the wrong words.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xiang bowed slightly and said in the archipelago dialect he had just learned: "There will be a lot of troubles in the days to come."

Grandpa was a little excited, his eyes were slightly bright and he said: "Oh! You also understand the Islands language! It's OK, it's very standard! What a smart young man! Come in, I just made some big malasada , come and have a taste!”

Senior Abi's grandfather was so enthusiastic that Li couldn't even look at him to ask for help, so he was pulled into the house directly.

Lucario took off his luggage, and suddenly there was a smiling scaled dragon in front of him.

"呴woo~"

The opponent extended his hand in a friendly manner, indicating that the luggage could be handed over to him.

"Ouch."

Lucario thanked him and shook his head. Even though Li Xiang's important things were with him and his luggage was locked, he still couldn't just hand it over to a stranger.

The scale-armored dragon didn't force it, saying that if he couldn't help with the luggage, they would go upstairs and check out the room together.

After getting off the car, Heiluga walked in front of him with dignity, saying that he knew this place well and just come with him. Considering that the scene might not be suitable, Lucario clenched his fists and slowly unclenched his fists.

inside the house.

Li Xiang is enjoying the legendary malasada, which is fried bread with fillings inside.

I have to say that there is a certain reason why this thing is so popular in the archipelago region and in animations. It does taste delicious, except for being a little greasy.

"Lucario! Come and have a taste too!"

He called to the dog who had put his luggage. When he turned around, there seemed to be some movement in the backpack.

"Um? What is it that smells so good? 』

A certain creature that loves fried food woke up from its sleep.

The guy opened the zipper with his nose and looked at the big plate of malasada on the table with salivation.

"Oh! Is this the Shemi?" Grandpa walked over with a plate full of malasada and said in surprise: "It looks different from what it looks like on TV."

"Well, the form is different..."

Li Xiang smiled, and facing Xie Mi who kept pushing him to eat even one piece of bread with so much bread in his mouth, he lowered his head and said, "You can eat it, but it's limited to two. You have to understand it yourself."

This little one is smaller than a head, and is obviously a grass-type Pokémon, but it particularly likes deep-fried and high-calorie sweets, which is considered a strange thing in the world.

While Semi was cheering, Abigail walked in from outside after parking the car and frowned slightly when she saw the big Marasada.

"Grandpa, why do you do so much again?"

"Don't you like to eat it? And it's rare for your classmate to come here, so I plan to make it for him to try." Grandpa laughed.

Abigail held her forehead helplessly and said: "That was all a matter of childhood..."

Despite what she said, she still sat next to Li Xiang and started eating one after another.

Even talking while eating.

"I liked eating this very much when I was a child, and my grandpa and grandma kept making it for me. As a result, I didn't like to exercise at that time, and I suddenly became very fat. I almost stopped eating it from then on."

Abigail explained casually.

Through emotional perception, Li Xiang discovered that Senior Abi was a little sad. Combined with the fact that her grandmother had not appeared for a long time, she understood that the old man was probably gone.

In order to mourn her grandmother, Senior Sister Abi picked up the big malasada that she had given up. However, with her current level of exercise, it is no problem to eat a few.

They were not the only ones participating in the battle.

Li Xiang planned to let other Pokémon have a taste, and slowly released the Koga Ninja and the others.

Anyway, I fed everything I could eat.

If you really don’t have a feeding organ, you can only give up.

"I'm full, thank you grandpa." He picked up Xie Mi who was reluctant to leave, and under the guidance of a scaly dragon, he came to the room assigned to him.

It's quite big, quite spacious, and has good lighting.

"My room is next to yours. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Abigail stood at the door and said.

Li Xiang was slightly startled, "Huh? Doesn't senior sister live with her parents?"

"They are all on a business trip. I don't want to live in the city alone. If you didn't come, I would probably go back to Fog City." Brother Cha spoke very straightforwardly.

She also plans to stay in Zhuxia to develop, just like her father who once went to the Islands to develop, but only went back to the Islands to visit during the holidays.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiang would come to travel.

Li Xiang had no choice but to say: "Then... I'll trouble you and grandpa these days."

"It's no trouble, just don't dislike it."

Abigail waved her hands with a calm look on her face.
