"Hmm? Do you know any friends in Hualan City?"

As expected, Xiaoxia immediately showed her questioning with some natural anger after she arrived.

Qingzi was also a little surprised at first, and then gave Guan Liyuan a complaining look, "She is your girlfriend, why did you lie?" Then she took the initiative to explain the purpose of her and Xiaoyue's visit.

Only Guan Liyuan knew that Xiaoxia's anger was accumulated before, and it was not for any other reason...

"Hey? Ask about the 'power of exorcism'? Then you have the wrong person, his special talent is innate." Xiaoxia said.

At this time, Guan Liyuan and Xiaoxia were sitting side by side, Guan Liyuan was opposite Xiaoyue, and Xiaoxia was opposite Qingzi. What puzzled Guan Liyuan was that Xiaoxia didn't show that she felt Xiaoyue was strange at all?

The four people ordered single-serving set meals, but before Xiaoyue started eating, she added some liquid that looked like squid ink to the soup, and the whole soup was pitch black. In the end, she started to eat like this, attracting the attention of the surrounding staff.

Before the meal came, Haruko finally found out that Xiaoxia was sulking about something else, and she and Guan Liyuan were not the kind of people who would get jealous, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the atmosphere was too dull. Xiaoxia was obviously angry about something, and Xiaoyue was always performing some strange rituals at the table. Guan Liyuan chose to "play dead" again... Haruko had to take the initiative to say, "You are also going on a trip to challenge gyms in various places to participate in the Pokémon Competition held by the Quartz League, right?"

"No, he is advertising the breeding house he opened in his dream. I just have nothing to do and temporarily accompany him." Xiaoxia said calmly.

Suddenly, Haruko felt like she couldn't respond!

"Breeding house... It's a good idea, it feels great!" Haruko forcedly praised Guan Liyuan to warm up the atmosphere. "

It will be a breeding house that mainly breeds Pokémon. It is estimated that it will open in the next two months. It will be either in Nibi City or in Cerulean City. If you have nothing to do, you can come and patronize it." Guan Liyuan said.

"Eh? Is it going to open soon?" Haruko said in surprise.

Originally, when Xiaoxia said "the breeding house opened in the dream", she thought she was just complaining. Moreover, a high-tech industry like a breeding house must be managed by top breeders, and Guan Liyuan's age is obviously not that old...

In terms of trainers, if there happens to be a powerful Pokémon favoring them, or there are Pokémon that are particularly compatible with them, some talented young trainers may appear.

But for breeders, it usually takes more time to accumulate!

"Will it be a haunted house? Can I visit it often?" Xiaoyue suddenly became interested.

[I always feel that the whole restaurant is like a haunted house when you open your mouth! ] Guan Liyuan silently complained in his heart and said: "There should be ghost-type Pokémon, but it won't be a breeding house dedicated to a certain attribute."

In addition to the talking big ghost, there are two other Gengars who were "lured" by Guan Liyuan. The level is about 35, and the combat power barely exceeds the level of 15,000 in the competition level, but now they are all with Professor Oak.

Although there is a way to break the limit on the number of Pokémon you can carry with you by "scoring your own goals", it is a bit boring to keep Pokémon that you can't use all the time in the Poké Ball all day long. After all, the Oak Research Institute in Pallet Town has a special Pokémon space, so Guan Liyuan didn't carry any other Pokémon except the Pokémon he was training.

"No attribute restrictions? That's very difficult, right?" Qingzi said worriedly.

Ordinary breeding houses all have special attributes that they are good at...

"It's not a difficult question, you can be more direct." Xiaoxia's evaluation was very sharp.

"Don't be so unconfident in me! And please be more indirect, I have a glass heart!"

While chatting, Guan Liyuan's mobile phone suddenly rang, but the number displayed was an unknown number.

"Hello, hello." Guan Liyuan answered the phone.

"I'm looking for you, just hold the phone and don't put it down." A woman's voice came from the other side.

"Huh? Is this a prank call?" Guan Liyuan said in a puzzled tone.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoxia asked.

"I don't know. A woman said she was looking for me and asked me not to hang up the phone... Hey! Xiaoyue, why do you look so interested?" Guan Liyuan said helplessly.

Guan Liyuan wanted to hang up directly for this kind of prank, but because of Xiaoyue's insistence, Guan Liyuan continued to answer the call and chose to put it on the external speaker.

"It's in Cerulean City..." A voice came from the external speaker.

"Hello? Who are you?"

"You look a little scary..." Qingzi couldn't help but pull Xiaoyue to increase her sense of security.

Although in Guan Liyuan's opinion, this scene seemed like "pulling a female ghost because of fear of ghosts", it was full of slots.

"I... I'll be there soon..."

"..." Guan Liyuan seemed to have confirmed that it was a prank call, so he stopped answering.

"I'm already at Cerulean Plaza..."

"I'm already at the Pokémon Center..."

"I'm already at the food court..."

However, in the following time, the female voice on the phone reported the location step by step, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer!

"Great... It's coming! What will it be?" Xiaoyue was very excited.

On the contrary, Haruko on the side looked a little scared: "Who is that person? Why does he seem like... a ghost story! Will he appear behind us soon?"

"Don't worry, if he appears, he will be behind him, and we can see him first!" Xiaoyue looked very expectant, and Haruko couldn't help but want to cover her eyes.

But what is coming will always come...

"I'm here!" This time the voice came directly from behind Haruko.

"Ah!" Haruko was frightened and screamed, and stood up.

"Okay, it seems to be behind me..." Haruko said nervously.

"Huh? Who are these two?" The voice behind him seemed to communicate with Guan Liyuan normally.

"Tomoko... can your appearance be more normal?" Guan Liyuan said helplessly.

"Appearance? Is there a problem? After all, I don't know where you are, so I tracked the signal band all the way here!" Tomoko said as a matter of course.

That's right, the voice on the phone before and the "person" who appeared now were all Tomoko Terahara, who had an appointment with Guan Liyuan!

It was probably similar to the principle of "telepathy". Tomoko could also feel the band generated after the phone was dialed, and found Guan Liyuan with it...

There was indeed nothing wrong with the way she appeared. If I had to say, the problem was also this way of locating people!

If it was two hours ago, Guan Liyuan might have guessed that it was Tomoko, but because of Xiaoyue's "aura" when she was eating, the whole table was lingering with a supernatural feeling, so he thought Tomoko's appearance was too supernatural...

"How is it? Have you rented a place to open a breeding house?" Tomoko asked.

"Not yet, but since you are here, let's take a look around Hualan City tomorrow to see if there is a suitable location!" Guan Liyuan said.

Opening a breeding house is not just about having a room, but also an area for Pokémon to live. If it is a breeding house corresponding to a special attribute, the environment suitable for the Pokémon of that attribute will be arranged. But for a greedy person like Guan Liyuan, how to arrange the environment is still a problem!

"By the way... Tomoko, do you look a little younger?" Guan Liyuan asked doubtfully.

Tomoko's temperament has indeed changed compared to before. She seems to be less stable and more cheerful than before. The aura of the strong woman who made people use honorifics involuntarily before has faded a lot.

"Are you complimenting me?" Tomoko asked with a smile.

[What compliments! Didn't you change your appearance by yourself? ] Guan Liyuan complained in his heart, but he also vaguely guessed that it was probably because of the untying of some kind of knot that Tomoko was more willing to make herself look younger.

Just after Guan Liyuan introduced Tomoko to Haruko and Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue stared at her for a long time, and finally said: "You, look a little strange, are you really a human?"

It seems that she has trained some eyesight!

"Sorry, sorry! I'm very sorry, Xiaoyue is so rude!" Haruko quickly pulled Xiaoyue to apologize.

After looking at Xiaoyue for a while, Tomoko frowned as if she wanted to say something, but Xiaoxia interrupted her: "If there is no space for the breeding house, how about renting it at my house? It's so big but empty anyway, and it seems like a waste to occupy a prime location!"

Xiaoxia's tone revealed a sense of "self-abandonment", but it did not affect everyone's surprise at what she said...

Everyone can roughly estimate how big a place is needed to open a breeding house. Usually breeding houses are opened in the suburbs or in the wild. Xiaoxia's house is actually in a prime location, and "such a big place is empty"?
