New Years Eve in Pokémon World

Entering with a empty pocket and coming out with a bulging pocket can be said to be a true portrayal of Zhulan now.

It seems that gold is valuable no matter where it is.

"I'm so embarrassed to accompany me in all this busy work." Zhulan smoothed the golden hair hanging around her ears back, showing a faint smile covered by her hair, "Is there anything delicious around here?" ?My treat.”

"Don't refuse. Isn't it natural for my sister who is already working to invite her brother who is still in school?"

Now Matsuno couldn't refuse, "There is a special hotpot restaurant here, but it's hard enough to make a reservation... You can call and ask."

This hot pot restaurant has shares in his best friend Zhu Bo's family, so he can't eat and drink for free, but it is quite simple to reserve a seat when there are many people.

only……

The phone rang until the end, but no one answered.

That shouldn’t be the case. Doesn’t this kid never leave his cell phone?Matsuno was a little confused, but didn't think much about it. Maybe he was taking a shower or something, and he didn't see the phone for a while.

"By the way, Yushu and Xiaoyao... where are they two?"

The two people suddenly realized something and looked around. There were people coming to the temple fair everywhere, but they could not see these two children.

Now the two of them were a little panicked. Matsuno was a little better. This was his familiar hometown after all, but Zhulan was obviously more panicked. If he lost his child here, he would be leaving his child directly on another planet.

She touched her ear, and there was an invisible communicator inside. However, she called several times, but there was no response from the monitoring room.

At this moment, the monitoring room was filled with a sea of ​​joy, especially when the camera followed Youshu into the underwear store, this gloating atmosphere reached its highest point.

"Don't cry in mourning, Mi Keli, maybe red underwear suits you better!"

"Hurry up and ask Yushu to ask the old lady if wearing red underwear/pants over your head would be more effective!"

"Definitely. At least it should be placed in a conspicuous position on the outside."

Among everyone's teasing, only Mikri had a dark face, grinding his teeth in frustration and helplessness.

Why is Dr. Odamaki's son still persecuted when he goes on a business trip to an alien planet?

He doesn't understand!

Zhulan had not received any news for a long time, which made her a little anxious.

"Don't worry, I'll go over there and ask around, and I'll find it in a while." Matsuno started running, ignoring the fear of society, and went directly to the stall to ask door to door.

As long as one of Matsuno and Zhulan has parenting experience, they know how unreliable it is to leave a child alone in a crowd.

Zhulan pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and ask too."

However, as she spoke, she secretly put her hand into the bag, and then tapped the leftmost Poké Ball with her long knuckles.

The elf ball shook for a moment, and then emitted a small ray of pure waveguide power, which wrapped around Zhulan's fingers and spread up.

A flash of blue flashed across Zhulan's pupils, and then, there were two faint traces in her sight, which were the movement tracks of Youshu and Xiaoyao.

only……

Underwear store?

Following the traces, Zhulan dragged Matsuno, who was confused, to a lingerie store with a pink door. Confusion and bewilderment struck both of them at the same time.

This... why did these two children come to the underwear store?

Is there anything different about alien underwear?

She doesn't understand!

However, these two people did not catch these two children in the underwear store after all. They were carrying a large bag of buy 3 get 2 free underwear for the year of their birth year. Even someone as steady as Yushu was a little bit in a strange place with so many people. North cannot be found.

Some kiosks, especially those next to elementary schools, will hang a small TV outside and play some cartoons on a loop. Now during the holidays, this good opportunity will not be wasted.

Next to the underwear store, there happens to be such a small shop.

Youshu pulled Xiaoyao and squeezed into a group of elementary school students. They looked about the same age as him, but all the children were crowded at the door of the canteen, their eyes glued to the program on the screen.

The show being played at this moment is Ultraman.

[Qianli]: Monster?Destroy cities?Do alien children's programs broadcast such exciting things?

[Mikri]: I seem to see the pleats in the tights on the crooks of the legs of this character called Ultraman...

[Damalanchi]: If I had seen this kind of program when I was a kid, I would probably have loved it too.

[Dawu]: Am I the only one who noticed that there seem to be three missed calls on the landline?

Just when Daigo was about to give further reminders, the shadows of Zhulan and Matsuno finally appeared in Yushu's lens, which made him sigh in relief.

It's not that Youshu's photography was not good, it's just that the child's mind was so out of touch that the doctors in the monitoring room, especially the two older ones, couldn't keep up.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yushu."

Zhulan took back the camera and pointed to the snack street in front, "Let's pick something delicious as a reward."

Xiaoyao cheered and wanted to rush forward, but Matsuno quickly grabbed her clothes and stopped her from running away again.

To be honest, there are many children in the orphanage, but most of them have defects, so even if they want to be naughty, they are powerless.Matsuno was inexperienced and could only think of ways to use other things to divert Xiaoyao's attention.

“There’s a candy blower over there, do you want to try it?”

This is an inconspicuous-looking small stall. The stall owner is a dark-skinned uncle. He holds a piece of hot corn syrup in his hand. He squeezes it a few times with extreme dexterity. The piece of syrup is like plasticine. Rolling and jumping in his hands, the craftsman made a blowing mouth, blew two or three times, and then made a lifelike horse and handed it to the child who was waiting in front of him, clapping his hands.

Zhulan rubbed her eyes, "Am I dazzled? Did I miss something?"

what happened?Why did the piece of simple syrup just now turn into an animal like a flaming horse in less than a minute?

"No dazzling." Xiaoyao's open mouth seemed to have forgotten to close, "Did we drag the video progress bar?"

This answer is even more outrageous than dazzling!

"This craft is really amazing." Matsuno praised, then turned his head, "Do you have any animals you want?"

"Yes, yes, I... I am a sheep!" Xiaoyao raised her hand, and she deeply remembered the fact that she was a sheep, "I want a Meili Sheep!"

The uncle who played the candy man didn’t know what a sheep was, but when he heard the girl say that she was a sheep, he finally laughed and said, “Well, if the little girl is a sheep... she is seven years old, right? I want a little one. Sheep, right?”

Xiaoyao nodded vigorously.

Zhulan suddenly raised her eyebrows. How come she couldn't understand what Xiaoyao said in the blink of an eye?What does counting sheep mean?Why did this sugar-making uncle get her age right right away as soon as she heard she was born in the year of Sheep?

"Then I want one too." Zhulan said, "What does 24 mean?"

When the number 24 was mentioned, Youshu and Xiaoyao's expressions suddenly changed before the uncle could say anything.

"Natal year!"

Zhulan was startled by the reactions of the two children. He didn't understand why they showed such expressions of fear when he said the number "24 years old."

What's wrong with being 24?

[Mikri]: Yes, it’s a big problem.

[Mi Keli]: Because you need to wear red pants/underpants.

As expected, Youshu solemnly took out a bag of bright red underwear wrapped in transparent packaging from the underwear bag in his hand, and handed it to the stunned Zhulan.

"Sister Zhulan, 24 is your birth year. I heard that every time you reach this age, your life will become unlucky. Only by wearing this can you avoid the bloody disaster..."

A huge question mark popped up from Zhulan's head, which made her always smart and confused. Especially when she saw what Yushu handed her, she suddenly felt bad.

She doesn't understand!

Why did Yushu hand it to her... to her...

A pair of bright red pants?

[Dr. Odamaki]: What makes you laugh is that I am lacking in education in this area. I have already prepared a feather duster.

[Mikri]: Wait, why didn’t you say anything when Youshu just went to buy it for me?

Unable to hear the argument in the monitoring room, in front of the candy blower's stall, Xiaoyao refinished his knife and said something very explosive.

"Sister Zhulan, please accept it quickly... We are all doing this for your own good!" Xiaoyao said very sincerely, his eyes full of care.

[Qianli Pavilion Owner]: How about I go back and punish her? It’s all for her own good.

In short, as soon as these words came out, not only Zhulan was dumbfounded, but Matsuno behind him couldn't hold back anymore.

Where is this going?How could such a young child still believe in such a thing?

Who told him?

Also, you are very brave for taking out big red pants on the street!

Is this the sociophobic person that every sociophobic patient doesn’t understand?

Matsuno had already assumed Zhulan's perspective on the spot and was already embarrassed for her!So he immediately grabbed Yushu's wrist and pushed back his hand holding up his pants.

"Ahem, let's talk about this kind of thing after we go back. Master, let me play a pair of dragons and phoenixes." Matsuno changed the subject, "Then play a tiger for me."

The candy blower's master barely stopped when Yushu took out his red underpants. He was already on the verge of laughing. He was just trying to pretend to be fine for the sake of the customer's face.

"Brother, I'm not good at making dragons and phoenixes. Can I change it into a sugar painting for you?"

"Ok, Ok."

Matsuno didn't have the time to care about sugar blowers and sugar paintings, but when Zhulan heard the words "dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness", she immediately shifted her attention.

...or rather, he forced himself to shift his attention.

[Mikri]: In the racial classification of Pokémon, dragon-type creatures are extremely powerful. I really want to see what dragon-type creatures look like in this world.

[Dawu]: The so-called "dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness", the word "phoenix" here does not refer to the Phoenix King, right?Or in this world, "phoenix" has become an attribute, just like the dragon attribute?

These guesses are very possible, but now is not the best time to ask. The master of the sugar blower over there has already scooped up a large spoonful of sugar syrup with a long-handled spoon and started painting.

The hard candy was sucked onto the iron plate and swayed freely. The prototype of the dragon was basically there. Some details were added to it. In less than a minute, a majestic five-clawed golden dragon was drawn and stuffed. into Yushu's hands.

[Mikri]: This is somewhat similar to Gyarados, except that the head is different and there are claws. It looks more like a flying type.

[Daigo]: Actually, it’s more like Rayquaza.

The master who blew the candy man on the other side was not idle either. He waved the big spoon and started a new creation. This time he painted a phoenix. If he used the method of blowing the candy man to make a phoenix, it would look better. Like a dove, if you use sugar paint to paint it, it will look more majestic.

[Dr. Oak]: It looks like it was carved from the same mold as the Phoenix.

[Damalanqi]: ​​It's really similar. It seems that the mythical beasts of the two worlds have a lot in common with each other.

This news is very important, and the Phoenix King has extraordinary significance to them. The flame of the Phoenix King is still burning in the altar of the Elf Alliance.

"Can this be eaten?" Zhulan looked at the delicate phoenix-shaped sugar painting in her hand, a little reluctant to eat it, but when she thought that even if she didn't eat it, the sugar would melt sometimes, she felt it didn't matter.

"of course can."

When the last tiger sugar painting was finished, Matsuno looked at Yushu's strange expression on the five-clawed golden dragon in his hand, and explained with a smile, "If you want to see it, there will be dragon and lion dances later. The performance should start soon."

Dragon dance and lion dance are the highlights of the temple fair. When the performance time is approaching, there are fewer people at the food stalls, all waiting to watch the performance.

"Sister Zhulan, have you made your choice? The performance is about to begin."

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Standing in front of the candied haws on a stick stall, Zhulan stared at the dazzling array of candied haws on a stick and fell into difficulty in making a choice.

All of them seem to be delicious!

Moreover, the guy who sells candy balls is also a wonderful person. Whenever Zhulan makes up her mind, he immediately starts to recommend the next candied haws, which makes her get entangled again.

This candied haws with sugar shreds on it looks fluffy, this one with jujubes inside seems to be delicious, and there are also ones that are wrapped in chocolate and sprinkled with colorful jelly beans...

Zhulan felt that no matter which one she chose, it would be disrespectful and blasphemous to the remaining ones.

"I'm in a hurry here, how about you recommend one?" Zhulan was about to break the jar.

The boy selling candy balls was embarrassed by this request. He scratched his head and gave his own suggestion.

"How about you choose the most expensive one among them?"

This student worker, who took advantage of the winter vacation to work, showed a simple smile.
