[Pokemon] Sycamore

"This is the first time I've seen a guy waste his talent like this."

Narrating certain realities that could be seen with her own eyes in a chant-like tone, Xiaotong casually picked up the small jewelry on the workbench and turned it over in front of her eyes, completely ignoring the anger on the face of Ah Gong, who had always been showing cowardice.

"How can you say that about my brother!!!"

Before Ah Gong could raise his voice, his good sister Zhengmei started to express her grievances loudly on his behalf.

"Hey Xiaotong!? Isn't that good to say?" Xiaozhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He might not be human in the end.

At this time, a hand patted his shoulder to stop Xiaozhi, who was in a state of confusion.

"Such a provocation is a bit rough." Dawu first gestured to Xiaotong covertly, then saw her turning her head as if nothing had happened before he continued to say to Xiaozhi in a funny way.

"Your name is Xiaozhi, right? You'd better listen to what Xiaotong has to say before speaking out."

Daigo's smiling expression somehow made Xiaozhi feel a chill at his back. Fortunately, Daigo quickly changed his focus and looked at Xiaojian, who was also panicking.

"If I remember correctly from the last time we met, you are a Pokémon Observer, right?"

"Oh!? Yes, yes, that's right!" Xiaojian straightened his back in an instant, looking like an employee waiting for a lecture from his immediate boss and barely even saluting.

Faced with Daigo's unruffled aura as a champion, especially with Xiaotong's strong character by his side, obviously not everyone can take it easy.

"Although the residents on this island are indeed good at making glass handicrafts, have you noticed anything different about this studio?"

"...Listen to what you say..."

Xiao Jian is not a person who lacks intelligence. In addition, he has the necessary attentiveness of an observer. He quickly followed the prompts given by Dai Wu and focused his attention on a small corner that was easily overlooked.

It was also the inconspicuous workbench where Xiaotong picked up the small jewelry.

They are not pure glass products, but works made of glass and various metals. Each has a unique style and design, and they complement each other to create a more beautiful form.

As for the meaning of Xiaotong’s previous sentence?You can tell by looking at Xiaoxia's reaction at this moment.

"So beautiful!!!"

Previously, the attention of Xiaozhi and his party was directed to the topic of glass intentionally or unintentionally by Ah Gong and Zhengmei, so that Xiaoxia did not notice this small world at all.

"Why didn't you sell such an excellent product earlier? It will definitely be very popular!" Xiaoxia said this from the bottom of her heart as she couldn't put it down and picked up her favorite one from the table.

Such a magical turn of events left Ah Gong stunned in place for a long time, unable to react.

And Xiaotong could probably guess Ah Gong's condition.

It is not difficult to understand that after being influenced by my grandfather for a long time and the prevailing customs on the island, it is not difficult to understand that he would develop the habit of putting glass first and not selling non-glass products. I am afraid that there are no master craftsmen on the island engaged in the production and sales of non-glass products, right?According to what Ah Gong just said, his grandfather is a master of glass art. He may have devoted his whole life to the production of glass products and was unable to correctly discover and guide Ah Gong's potential talent.

The so-called bystander knows clearly, but laymen like them can easily see A Gong's blind spots when evaluating with a customer's mentality.

"This...this..." A Gong stuttered and couldn't finish his sentence. He never expected that the work he had been constantly denying could receive such a high evaluation.

"Crack~"

At this time, Xiaotong put down the semi-finished product in his hand.

"Well~ it's not too late to correct the path forward from now on..."

"It's not like I can't give you a chance to get inspiration."

Ah Gong's dizzy mind seemed to have been hit hard again. Since Xiaotong could boast that she would give him a chance, the implication was...

"Xiaotong, have you conquered...the Crystal Rock Snake...!?" The person who asked the question was Xiaozhi, but he was also stunned and could not formulate a complete sentence.

"Just in time to formally introduce my new partners here." Nodding towards Xiaozhi with a smile, Xiaotong gently touched the precious ball sleeve hanging on her waist with her fingers.

The Crystal Rock Snake's recovery speed was beyond Xiaotong's expectations. The area where she had taken the drug quickly showed obvious signs of recovery. Presumably, by now, the Crystal Rock Snake should have fully recovered.

Before the formal high-intensity training, Xiaotong just wanted to arrange a warm-up match for the big rock snake. No... Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be a game, as long as the big rock snake can move a little bit.

I originally wanted to ask Daigo, but there is obviously a good opportunity in front of me, and ah ~ it can also achieve another goal.

After seeing A Gong's works, Xiaotong had already made plans silently in her mind.

"Since it's inspiration, it's more likely to happen with a little collision and a Pokémon battle, but we have conditions here."

"If you agree, let's make an appointment to fight in two days. The players on my side still need some rest time."

......

"Is this place okay?"

The one who asked was Ah Gong who couldn't wait any longer.

At this moment, everyone came to a fjord beach on the edge of the island. It is not easy to cause commotion in such a sparsely populated place.

"Yes, yes, but let me ask a question before the battle begins." Looking around the surrounding environment, Xiaotong saw that A Gong had specially chosen the battle venue on a beach near the ocean, and he had some thoughts about the players he was about to send. guess.

"You...want to use water-type Pokémon to fight against Big Rock Snake, right?"

"Ah? Yes... yes, after all, I have always been aiming to conquer the Crystal Rock Snake, and of course I have done enough homework on countermeasures." After his opponent revealed his thoughts, Ah Gong scratched his head, and his face It was full of embarrassment and confusion.

"....Warm reminder, I advise you to send non-water-type companions to fight."

It's not that Xiaotong is so arrogant that he exposes his weaknesses to the other party, but what kind of warm-up is it if it ends instantly before it even starts?Moreover, what the Crystal Rock Snake needs is not a shower-like cleaning activity, but a fight that can make him feel threatened.

Seeing that Ah Gong was still hesitant to abandon what he considered his 'advantage', Xiaotong added a few more words: "Believe it or not, the place where the Big Rock Snake used to live was in the inland sea surrounded by small islands. "

"If you still insist, I won't say anything more, but you have to understand that no matter what the outcome of this battle is, it will not have any impact on me. After all, this is about whether you can get inspiration. Fight, before worrying about whether you can successfully obtain inspiration, I advise you to first consider how to prevent the possibility of instant defeat."

"The Big Rock Snake has only had a short time to get along with me. When we work together, we will definitely not be able to move freely like other partners. I will naturally lead this battle with the Big Rock Snake. In the battle, I will not do anything just to accommodate you." It makes my important companion feel so uncomfortable that he can't let go."

Xiaotong's words had reached this point, and Ah Gong had already been convinced, but he was still worried about which Pokémon to send out next.

“How about using your most trusted partner?”

In the end, it was Dawu who was watching on the side who spoke up at the right time that made Ah Gong make up his mind.

I saw him solemnly taking out a treasure ball and throwing it away.

"Gah!!!!"

"Oh? This is the partner you have the most tacit understanding with, right?" Looking at the crimson figure in front of him, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Xiaotong's eyes.

"Yes, the fire dinosaur is my partner in making glass products. I will leave it to you in a moment."

The fire dinosaur turned its head and nodded towards Ah Gong, then looked straight ahead, quietly waiting for its opponent to appear.

He is a very calm guy, Xiaotong thought. After all, he is the assistant of the glass master, so such a personality makes people feel at ease.

Without further ado, Xiaotong also wants to get the reward of this trip as soon as possible. If there is a fire element as an opponent, he can also establish an initial tacit understanding with the big rock snake.

So the battle started soon. Although it was an easy battle not worth mentioning, Xiaotong was still satisfied with the results.

Not to mention the discovery that the resistance of the Crystal Rock Snake to the fire element has increased a lot after being baptized by Pikachu White Thunder. On the boat that was sailing again, Xiaotong personally pinned the freshly made special brooch on Daigo, and stood back to admire Xiaotong. He showed a satisfied look.

"That's perfect. But I didn't expect that Daigo would keep that stone with you."

Isn't it? The overall brooch has a simple and elegant style. The whole silver metal is dotted with clear natural crystals, but the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a transparent stone with a spiral pattern on the top.

"Actually, I had this idea a long time ago." He played with the brooch placed on his left chest with his fingertips, and Dawu seemed to still be able to feel the warmth that had been left on it not long ago.

"What I got now is undoubtedly more satisfying than I imagined."

The first memory I received from you about the two of us, the style you chose and designed, and finally, you personally pinned it on for me. There is no gift that makes me feel more beautiful than this.
