666 After the Match, Everyone's Discussion

"Teacher Bai Chen... where did you go after my battle? I took advantage of the rest time to go to the stage to have a look, but I didn't see you..."

After the final grouping information was finalized, Ma Li and Nie Zi, who had been waiting in the waiting room for the battle to end, were finally released. When Ma Li left the waiting room and arrived at the stands, she found Bai Chen asked about it.

Originally, she wanted to "show off" to Bai Chen after she won the championship. By the way, I would like to thank Bai Chen for encouraging me at the moment when I and Bai Chen looked at each other, although Bai Chen did not do it at that time. That's it.

"Me...? At that time, I went to buy breakfast. After all, I didn't have breakfast after waking up, and I didn't even drink water. If I didn't eat something at that time, I probably wouldn't be able to survive this morning. "

Faced with Ma Li's question, Bai Chen just explained it to her in such a simple way. As for the incident of meeting Dandi while buying breakfast... Anyway, Ma Li will know about it later, so it won't matter for a while. Needless to say, save a little effort.

"Speaking of which, it's a pity."

Bai Chen looked at Nie Zi's position with a teasing look, and after seeing Bai Chen's appearance, Nie Zi probably knew what he wanted to say, so he turned his head away.

"It's really just a little bit of luck. Obviously, the aluminum steel dragon has lost its fighting ability in the end. If you insist on saying this match, it should really be a draw."

"If you lose, you lose. There are no excuses."

Nie Zi snorted coldly. Although he said on the surface that if he loses, he loses, but in fact he is the most unwilling of all the players on the field today.

Originally, he really thought that this year's competition would be a bit of a mess, no matter who the opponent was, he would lose as a matter of course, but after Nie Zi was woken up by Bai Chen, he changed his mind. Staying in this post for a while longer will give Mary more time to enjoy traveling with her friends and enjoy her youth.

As someone who has been there, he naturally understands that it is not a pleasant thing to be trapped in Jianding Town all the time. He also wants to let go of himself more than once, go to Feiyun City, go to Jinhuang City, and enjoy the elegance of other cities and other regions .

But even if he had an idea, the reality would not allow him to leave so easily, because he bears the title of the owner of the museum, and he needs to do his best to make Spike Town prosperous during the time he is on the throne.With such a mission on his shoulders, and at the same time taking into account his love for rock and roll, Nie Zi has not had many opportunities to go out for a while in his life. They are all burdened with other tasks, unable to indulge in the scenery of various cities.

If it hadn't been for Bai Chen's reminder, Nie Zi might have really insisted on making Ma Li the owner of the hall this year. You must know that the owner is not a sweet bun, but a heavy responsibility.If the city is well developed, the owner can still have a lot of time for himself, and even start a sideline business, just like Lurina, but...in the Galar area, only Spike Arena The host can't do that.

"Well......"

Originally, she spoke to Bai Chen, but Bai Chen started talking to Nie Zi immediately after answering a sentence, which made Ma Li accumulate a little bit of "resentment", and then muttered something dissatisfied.

.......

"Hey! Mary! And Mr. Bai Chen!"

Just when Ma Li suddenly felt a little emotional, Xiao You's voice came from the gate again, and fortunately there was no one at the scene, and all the audience had already disbanded and went back. The people at the scene shared their feelings and looked forward to the battle in the afternoon.If the venue hadn't become so empty now, the gathering of the three contestants would definitely arouse the curiosity and onlookers of many people.

Is this ignoring me...

Looking at Xiaoyou who squeezed past him, Nie Zi felt a little helpless, but he had known about his unpopularity for more than a day or two, so Nie Zi didn't pay much attention to it.

"What are you doing here? Are you discussing something important?"

The cheerful Xiaoyou asked after hugging Ma Li from behind. On the one hand, she was also worried whether her arrival would disturb their conversation, but on the other hand, she also wanted to know what Ma Li and Bai Chen were talking about. some content.

"It's nothing, it's nothing important." Bai Chen smiled, and didn't intend to explain, but just changed the subject casually: "Speaking of which, Xiaoyou, you performed well, although Ms. Popola is indeed a little absent today. She is in good condition, but she still has some strength, and it is really good to be able to do [-]v[-] against this kind of veteran trainer."

"Hey hey~" After hearing Bai Chen's praise, Xiaoyou rubbed his head in embarrassment, and said, "I didn't think so much at the time, I just wanted to score as many points for myself as possible." Come on, become a seed player, then the probability of winning the championship will be much higher."

Xiaoyou doesn't seem to hide his thoughts at all. Compared with some trainers who are complacent and excited after winning, Xiaoyou's mentality is naturally very good.

only.......

"Well......"

Obviously I came first......

Bai Chen's praise of Xiaoyou naturally made Ma Li, who had such expectations, empty-handed. Ma Li was naturally even more dissatisfied after the two comparisons. After all, Bai Chen should be her teacher, but Bai Chen was in Facing his own victory, not only did he not say any words of praise, but he even started chatting with his brother.What now?When Xiaoyou came to the scene, Bai Chen stopped chatting with Nie Zi, but started to praise Xiaoyou's performance. Of course, Ma Li couldn't accept this.

"And—" Xiaoyou scratched his cheek, looked at Bai Chen with a smile, and said falteringly: "Well, then...thank you for standing up and applauding me after the game... At that time, Bo Ms. Pula was defeated, and the people on the field seemed to have no intention of paying attention to the game... At that time, I didn't know what to do for a while, I always felt that I had done something wrong, but Bai Mr. Chen, your applause gave me a lot of confidence, so I really appreciate it."

After Xiaoyou finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Bai Chen, and Bai Chen's expression at this moment seemed a little exciting.

.......

667 Dandi, an invitation to dinner

I?Applause for you?What timeline thing?

After being so sincerely thanked by Xiaoyou, Bai Chen also fell into confusion, but soon Bai Chen realized what Xiaoyou was talking about.

Probably because I couldn't help standing up and applauding for her dedication after realizing Poplar's actions?But now that I think about it carefully, I know Xiaoyou after all, and normally no one would applaud Poplar who behaved so "poorly" on that occasion, so my behavior looks like Xiaoyou's. Like a diehard fan, applauding her victory, right?

This is a big misunderstanding...

However, it seems that there is no need to clarify this misunderstanding now, right?

Bai Chen looked at Xiaoyou with a shy face, but couldn't hide his happiness, he couldn't help thinking.

Although it was a misunderstanding, this misunderstanding seemed to make Xiaoyou feel better. From this point of view, even if it was a misunderstanding, after all, even if Popola put a lot of water, in the battle, Popola His performance is still not something an ordinary trainer can compete with.Being able to defeat Poplar with just one Pokémon is enough to show Xiaoyou's strength. Just think that my applause is dedicated to Popola who is willing to give, and it is also dedicated to bringing wonderful battles to everyone. It's Xiaoyou's.

Even though Bai Chen had planned this way, when he noticed that Ma Li's expression seemed to be unhappy again, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have praised Ma Li yet... After all, with Xiao Youbi Speaking of which, Mary did indeed defeat Peter by adjusting her state in the battle. Compared with Xiaoyou, Mary is also worthy of encouragement.

"Yes, Mary."

"how?"

Ma Li turned her head secretly. Although she agreed to Bai Chen, she still didn't want to speak. After seeing this, Bai Chen was sure of Ma Li's current thoughts, so he secretly laughed in his heart, and then said: "I almost forgot to say Yes, you behaved the same today..."

"Ah, I found it. Are you still in the venue? I thought you would go outside. If you don't mind, is it convenient to have dinner together at noon today? Of course the few people next to you are the same."

"?!"

After hearing this familiar voice, except for Bai Chen, the others turned around in surprise. Standing behind them was the current champion of the Galar region—Dan Di.

"Eh? Mr. Dandi, why are you here? And...you and Mr. Bai Chen, do you know each other?"

Xiaoyou was the first to express her surprise, her eyes sized Dandi and Baichen back and forth, as if curious about their relationship.

You must know that although Emperor Dan is very sincere and gentle in his dealings with people on weekdays, Emperor Dan does not like dinners, or inviting others to dinner and being invited to dinner. He said in the interview that dinners are a very troublesome thing As for the matter, he has never taken the initiative to invite anyone to dinner, except for being invited to dinner by Roz a few times.

Of course, these are also what Dandi himself said during the media interview.

"Well, of course we know each other, but... uh, you're not very familiar, right? Are you?"

Emperor Dan smiled generously, but then consulted Bai Chen's opinion with his eyes. Although he would also show openness and enthusiasm towards others in front of Bai Chen, but only in his relationship with Bai Chen did he Don't dare to talk nonsense, after all, he is still waiting for Bai Chen to help him, if he accidentally makes Bai Chen angry, what should he do if he is confused now?

"It's considered to be acquaintance...but we don't have a lot of friendship. Emperor Dan invited me to dinner only because I promised to do him a favor, so do you want to go together?"

Although Bai Chen is not very hungry now, since Emperor Dan said that he wanted to treat him to dinner, the things he invited must be the same. Of course, Bai Chen has no reason to miss such an opportunity.

"Yes! No! Please let me be with you!"

Xiaoyou wasn't shy of strangers at first, besides, she and Mali had met Dandi before, and had talked with Dandi several times, so they were not strangers, so she naturally agreed.

"Well, let's go."

Mary nodded lightly, making it difficult to see her true mood, but since Xiaoyou was going, she would naturally go too.

"Then Nie Zi, you..."

"I'll forget it. The loser group will have to wait in the waiting room until the game is over in the afternoon and tomorrow. I don't want to waste precious rest time, so I'll leave first."

As Nie Zi said, he told a few people. Emperor Dan was also aware of Nie Zi's character, and he didn't have any special thoughts about his actions. After watching Nie Zi leave, Emperor Dan took Bai Chen and others Walk towards the top restaurant in the entire Galar region, which is located on the top floor of the battle tower.

.......

"By the way, should the Pokémon battle be carried out before or after the meal?"

Dandi and Bai Chen walked side by side. When Dandi led the way, he specially chose a road with less traffic. If it was in normal times, with the scale of Gongmen City, there would definitely be many People passing by, but during the conference, basically the entire Gongmen City people participated in the discussion of this Champions Cup, and they should all be concentrated in the central square now.

"Let's call before dinner. Whether I can handle it after dinner is another problem, ha~~"

Bai Chen yawned deeply, the impact of the insomnia last night has not disappeared until now, it seems that if he didn't take a good rest, Bai Chen would not be able to cheer up all day today.

"Is that right... By the way, if you are sleepy, you can take a rest in the battle tower, there is a room for guests."

"Really? That would be great..."

Bai Chen was sincerely grateful for Emperor Dan's words.

You must know that the location of the battle tower is the northernmost part of Gongmen City, and the central business district of Gongmen City is on the south bank of a river. If you have lunch in the battle tower, then Bai Chen plans to go to the Pokémon Center to rest for a while , then he still has to walk a long way, let alone a rest time, he should have lost all his time at noon, right?

Now, the rear.

Looking at the familiar appearance of Emperor Dan and Bai Chen, Xiao You always felt that there was something strange, so he asked his friend a question in puzzlement: "Ma Li! Ma Li! Let's talk about Mr. Bai Chen's identity. What the hell is it? Why does Mr. Dandi seem to respect him so much?"

"do not know......"

Ma Li's answer was very flat, or she had no intention of revealing Bai Chen's identity at all.

Now she is only concentrating on guessing what Bai Chen was trying to say when he was interrupted by Emperor Dan.Could it be that Bai Chen was planning to praise himself?

Mary frowned and fell into deeper thoughts.

.......

668 Xiaoyou, plan to take a peek?

Following Dandi to the top floor of the battle tower, unlike the lively atmosphere in the battle tower in the past, there is no one in the battle tower today, and everyone went to the center of the city at the same time, in order to participate Join today's Champions Cup discussion and enjoy the various promotions held by various stores to celebrate the opening of the Champions Cup.

"Mr. Dandi... did you bring someone else to eat? It's really rare!"

In the restaurant on the top floor, the manager immediately came out to greet him when he heard that Emperor Dan was here, but when he saw the people behind him, he fell into deep surprise.

In his impression, Emperor Dan doesn't like to eat with others, especially in such a high-end restaurant. Usually, even if Chairman Luoz wants Emperor Dan to come to have a meal together, Emperor Dan usually does not like to eat together. They will all decline, and only a few really important occasions will agree to Luoz's request.

And what kind of wind is blowing today?

"Ah... well, there are 4 people in total. Is there anyone else making a reservation in the restaurant for lunch today?"

"No, no, generally speaking, guests' reservations are not accepted here during the Champions Cup, because President Roz always likes to be just in case. He is afraid that if he meets a distinguished guest during this time period, if he happens to be in It will be troublesome if there is no place in the store at this time, so..."

"Is that so?"

Dan Di nodded in understanding.

President Luoz does always have some strange thoughts, and even Dandi himself can't understand what he is worried about in many cases. Perhaps this is why Luoz can sit in the position of president for so long, even Never received a single complaint.

"Then it shouldn't be a problem for us to eat here, right?"

"Of course, President Luoz has specifically ordered that if it is Mr. Dandi and the eight museum owners, we must treat them well, please come in."

The manager bowed slightly and stood aside, while the waiters around him also lined up in two rows at the door. It was the first time Mary and Xiaoyou had seen this kind of formation, and they felt a little unaccustomed to it, and even their movements became awkward. It became a lot stiffer, and Dandi and Bai Chen's performance was naturally normal.

Although there is no abnormality, but Bai Chen is not used to it, or maybe he doesn't like this kind of atmosphere. He always feels that dining in a high-end restaurant is like restricting himself... But forget it, anyway, today is Emperor Dan's treat , If you are not used to it, you have to bear it.

Guided by the manager, Bai Chen and the others came to a place near the inner window. After taking their seats, the manager just handed Bai Chen and the others a menu, and then quietly left here.

The manager knew that Dandi's character would definitely not bring any irrelevant people here to have dinner with him. Since he did this by accident, it meant that he must have something important to say, and of course it is not appropriate for him to present.

"So......"

Emperor Dan winked at Bai Chen, and Bai Chen got up with Emperor Dan knowingly.

"Emperor Dan and I have something to do, so we will be away for more than ten minutes. During this period, you can order whatever you want~ you can do whatever you want. Anyway, Emperor Dan treats guests, so don't be merciful."

"Haha~ It's like this, don't be polite, you can do whatever you want."

Dan Di patted his head embarrassedly and smiled, agreeing with Bai Chen's statement.

But even though he agreed, he still has some stomach pains. Although the salary of the champion is very high, Dandi has never been the kind of person who spends a lot on food. The place where he spends the most money is just Pokémon It's just training resources, and even if the basic salary is relatively high, I don't have a side job... Compared with other champions, Dandi doesn't seem so rich.

The heartache is the heartache, but since it has been promised, then Dandi will naturally grit his teeth and persevere, but after this time, Dandi has already begun to consider whether to start some side jobs and make more money... After all, he usually Most of the money was indeed used to buy various props related to the cultivation of Pokémon, and the rest of the money left for him to use freely was indeed not much.

Who would have thought that Dandi, who is the champion, would start worrying about money in his mind at this moment.

Facing the words of Dan Di and Bai Chen, Ma Li and Xiao You just nodded in doubt, and then watched their leaving backs, their thoughts finally became active.

"Mr. Bai Chen and Mr. Dandi... what are they going to do?"

"I don't know."

Ma Li shook her head. Although she is Bai Chen's student, she still doesn't know Bai Chen well enough. Even though he knew what happened to Bai Chen in Leiwen City, she didn't know what happened to Bai Chen after his trip. Naturally, it is impossible to guess what kind of topics will arise between Emperor Dan and Bai Chen.

But according to Mali's thoughts, it probably has something to do with fighting Pokémon, right?After all, Dandi is the champion, and Bai Chen is a Pokémon master. What they have in common seems to be that they are both good at Pokémon battles. If so...

"I guess, they should go to a Pokémon battle..."

Mary guessed so.

"Huh...huh?!" Hearing what Mali said, Xiaoyou was naturally incredulous. "You said... Mr. Bai Chen and Mr. Dandi are going to have a Pokémon battle? Really?! Did Mr. Bai Chen challenge Mr. Dandi?! But the problem is that Mr. Bai Chen didn't say that he was received by Dandi Mr. Di's entrustment, have you gone to help? So..."

"Voice, voice..."

Before Xiaoyou finished speaking, Ma Li couldn't help but go up and cover her mouth.

Although she also knows that her friend is very outgoing and impatient, there is nothing wrong with these, but is she too rough?What if you shouted so loudly in this place, if you were heard?

Ma Li didn't know if what Bai Chen and Dandi were going to do was a secret, but when she looked outside secretly, she found that there seemed to be no one around, and the original manager didn't know where to go. If you want to order food, it seems that you can press the button on the side of the table, right?
