Xiaozhi: All the companion elves return

In the bustling Glass Bottle City auction market, Xiaozhi and his group strolled around with great interest for about an hour.

Although there are still many corners of the market that they have not explored, they have already had a general understanding of the overall situation and have bought the items they like.

When they returned to the stall of the old man who sold hanging scrolls, they found that all the goods had been replaced and the stall owner was no longer the old man.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. If the scroll was still there, he might still be entangled in it. But now that the scroll and the old man were gone, he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

"Everyone has bought what they like, right?" Xiaozhi glanced at his friends, and everyone nodded in response.

Yurika directly took out the items she bought and showed them, while Papper patted his backpack to show that he had gained a lot.

This shopping trip in Glass Bottle Market really made them feel very satisfied. This market seemed like a treasure trove of surprises, with almost everything, including many strange and interesting products.

Especially Kachi, his face was filled with a happy smile and he couldn't close his mouth.

He bought many fragments of Fire Crystal at a low price, and his Charizard and Infernape loved these fragments very much.

With full joy in their hearts, everyone left the auction market satisfied.

They heard that new items would be put on the market every day. They were already very satisfied with today's harvest, and at the same time they couldn't help but look forward to the opportunity to discover more and better things here in the future.

As soon as they walked out of the market, Xiaozhi and his friends saw an uncle wearing a huge blue apron, looking around anxiously for something.

Yulijia was the first to run up and looked at the anxious uncle, and asked with concern: "Uncle, what are you looking for? Do you want us to help you?"

The old man looked at Yurika, then turned his gaze to Satoshi and his group who were walking towards him.

There was a familiar gleam in his eyes, and it was obvious that he recognized Ash and Piper.

However, at the moment, his mind was completely focused on finding the lost items, and he had no time to have an in-depth conversation with them.

Papa walked forward, looked at the anxious uncle, and said, "Uncle Haidai, if you have dropped something and are looking for it, tell us, we can really help."

Xiaozhi and the others also came over and looked at Papper and Haidai curiously.

Xiaozhi asked, "Piper, do you know this uncle?"

Papa introduced with a smile: "This uncle is the most famous chef in Glass Bottle City, Mr. Haidai. Not only is he an excellent cook, he also has a side job, which is the gym leader of Glass Bottle City."

Everyone suddenly realized that this sturdy and strong looking uncle was not only a cooking master, but also the master of a gym.

"Mr. Haidai, if you need any help, please tell us and we will do our best to help you." Xiaozhi spoke up, expressing his willingness to provide assistance.

Xiao Mao, Liliae and the others also stepped forward and expressed their willingness to help.

Haidai looked around nervously at first, then said anxiously, "My wallet is missing. I'm not sure if it was left nearby. I'm not even sure if I brought my wallet out with me."

Xiao Mao calmly analyzed: "Mr. Haidai, you should think carefully about the last time you touched your wallet today."

Haidai fell into deep thought. He said softly:

"My wallet was still with me at noon today. I was in the gym at that time. Three little guys challenged me and then I got the gym badge."

"I remember that one of the boys was ridiculously strong. He only used one Electric Beast to defeat all my Pokémon. So I was in a bad mood. I wanted to go to the market in Zheqin Town to see if there were any treasures that could make me feel better."

Hai Dai fell into reminiscence and said slowly: "But before that, I thought I could go to the market in Glass Bottle City first. If I could find good things in Glass Bottle City, I wouldn't have to go to Zheqin Town. But I didn't expect to find that I didn't have my wallet on me when I got here."

After everyone listened to Mr. Haidai's narration, Salina was the first to speak: "Mr. Haidai, is it possible that you were in a bad mood at the time and forgot to bring your wallet?"

Shui Lian also nodded and agreed: "Yes, I often forget to bring things when I am in a bad mood."

Haidai thought about it carefully and realized that he had not taken out his wallet to check it along the way. After they reminded him, he felt that he might have left his wallet in the gym.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the gym and look for it. I hope I can find it. This wallet is still very valuable to me." Haidai said.

Xiaozhi took a step forward and said firmly, "Mr. Haidai, let us go with you."

Xiaozhi wants to see this matter completely resolved with his own eyes. If the wallet can really be found in the gym, perhaps they can even have a Pokémon gym battle directly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you all. Thank you for your help." Haidai looked at Xiaozhi and his group. Not only did they give him advice on how to find his wallet, they were also willing to accompany him to the gym to look for it. He couldn't help but feel touched.

So, Haidai led the way in front, and his friends followed behind. From time to time, everyone looked at the ground to see if there was a wallet on the ground.

Xiaozhi approached Qiyu and said:

"Qiyu, your treasure hunt should include challenging gyms. If we can solve this problem later, we can challenge the gym in Glass Bottle City."

"Of course, no problem. I do plan to challenge the gym. This Pokémon League competition should start in a month. I hope to get all the gym badges within a month." Qiyu responded.

After listening to Qiyu's words, Xiaozhi realized that the Pokémon Conference was about to begin.

"Ah, it's starting in a month? I suddenly feel a little nervous. Hahaha, I don't even have a badge right now." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"Xiaozhi, why are you still so nervous? Isn't it easy for you to get the badge?" In Qiyu's opinion, with Xiaozhi's strength, let alone getting the badge, directly challenging Miss Yeci is no problem.

Xiaozhi shook his head and continued, "I don't want to use my old Pokémon to challenge the gym. If I want to successfully obtain the eight badges with Croc and the others, it will still be difficult."

Qiyu looked at Xiaozhi. Although he didn't fully understand why Xiaozhi did this, he chose to respect Xiaozhi's thoughts.

After the two chatted for a while, Xiaozhi walked towards Piper again.

"Papa, I just heard from Mr. Haidai that there is an auction market in Ziqin Town. And from what he said, it seems that the auction market in Ziqin Town is better than the one in Boping City."

Piper didn't know how Xiaozhi suddenly remembered this, but he still answered seriously.

Piper nodded, and then explained Xiaozhi's question:

"Actually, there are auction markets in many towns in the Padiya region, but the auction market in Ziqin Town was developed the earliest and is the most famous. Many good items are often auctioned there."

"Just now we were at the auction market in Boping City, and we rarely saw anyone bidding or bargaining. Basically, we just gave whatever the boss offered, and there were rarely any bidding. But it's different in Ziqin Town. In the auction market in Ziqin Town, bidding is very common."

Xiaozhi finally understood something and said with emotion:

"I see. I thought the market in Glass Bottle City was interesting enough today, but I didn't expect that there is something even more interesting in Zheqin Town."

"Then let's go to Ziqin Town next time. I really want to see what the most famous auction market looks like." Xiaozhi is now very interested in the auction market in Ziqin Town.

Papa agreed. He was willing to go anywhere as long as he could cure the Mastiff Godfather. "Okay, let's go together then."

The two smiled at each other, and followed Mr. Haidai towards the gym with their friends.

At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was shining on the streets of Boping City. Although the sunlight was a little strong, it felt very cool walking on the streets of Boping City.

The trees on both sides of the street are lush and green, blocking some of the sunlight for people. The breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and bring a hint of fresh air.

The friends were walking and chatting happily.

"The scenery in Boping City is really nice!" Shui Lian exclaimed.

“Yes, and the architecture here is also very unique.”

Qiyu asked curiously, "I wonder what the gym will be like?"

Everyone chatted with each other, making the originally boring journey full of fun.

Xiaozhi looked at the scenery around him and couldn't help feeling deeply moved. He thought of his experiences along the way. Every challenge and adventure made him grow a lot.

This Pokémon League competition is a new challenge for him, and he hopes to achieve good results with his new partners.

Led by Haidai, they crossed several streets and finally arrived in front of the gym.

The dojo has a unique architectural style, giving people a soft feeling.

At this moment, at the entrance of the gym, a girl was pacing back and forth anxiously, as if she was waiting for someone.

When Xiaozhi and his friends gradually approached the gym, the girl's eyes immediately turned to them, and she saw Haidai at first sight. After all, Haidai's height and body shape were indeed too prominent among Xiaozhi and his group, and it was difficult not to notice him.

"Mr. Haidai, you're finally back." The girl walked up and greeted Haidai enthusiastically.

"Baihua, you are not in the gym, why are you walking back and forth at the door?" Haidai asked with some confusion.

Baihua smiled brightly, then opened her shoulder bag and took out a wallet.

"Of course I'm waiting for you, Mr. Haidai, you forgot your wallet again. Didn't you say that this wallet is of great commemorative significance to you? Why do you always forget it?"

Haidai took the wallet and put it away, smiling awkwardly, while Xiaozhi and the others also heard a clue from what the white flower girl said.

It turns out that this is not the first or second time that Mr. Haidai has lost his wallet.

After Haidai put away his wallet, he tried to do something to hide his embarrassment.

Then, he turned around and looked at Xiaozhi and the others, with a happy smile on his face: "The wallet has been found. Thank you for your company. Do you want to have a meal in my restaurant? I will cook for you myself."

When Bai Hua heard Mr. Haidai say that he would cook himself, she excitedly ran straight to Mr. Haidai.

"I also want to taste the food made by Mr. Haidai himself."

Haidai laughed and said, "Of course you have a share. Thank you very much this time."

Then, Haidai began to introduce Xiaozhi and the others to Baihua.

"They are the kind people who helped me look for my wallet. The boy with gray hair and a school bag is called Papa, a student of Grape Academy. You should know the boy wearing a hat with a Pikachu on his shoulder. He is the leader of the eight masters of the World Pokémon Championship, Xiaozhi, and now he is a professor at Grape Academy."
