Chapter 315 Christmas Party
December 25th, Friday, Christmas.
The evening breeze blows, and the night sky is vast and refreshing.
Xiao Lan was inviting everyone to decorate the backyard of the research institute together.
"Let Xueli Monster cosplay as a Christmas tree." Lu Ye sighed, "It's really a way to save money."
"Of course." Xiaolan smiled proudly and asked Jigglypuff to hang the bell on the branch of the Snow Hat Monster. He muttered, "I originally wanted to use the Coconut Tree, but after thinking about it, the Snow Hat Monster is more suitable."
Several snow monsters, wearing bells and Santa hats, jingled as they walked. They seemed very satisfied with the gift and played happily in the snow-covered grass.
Shirona was wearing a black velvet coat, exhaling white air, with a gentle smile on her face.
"I didn't expect that Miss Sirona would also come to the party." Chihong, who arrived first, said with a little surprise.
"Because we happened to be together in the morning, so we came here together." Sirona said with a smile.
Hiding behind Akane, with only half of her head exposed, Tokiwa Clove's brain went blank: "Huh?"
Doesn't that mean...
Mr. Lu and Miss Sirona have been together for the whole night! ! Tokiwa Clove's cheeks were red and white steam was coming out of her head.
"Really?" Chi Hong didn't react and nodded, "I see."
Given Mr. Lu's ability, it is reasonable for him to fight against the Sinnoh Champion.
He lowered his head slightly and pulled down the brim of his hat. Chihong smiled.
Maybe I can have a discussion with Teacher Lu tonight!
"Don't just stand there, come and help dress up!" Xiao Lan shouted.
"Understood." Red threw out the Poké Ball, "Mosquito-swimming, Pikachu... let's go and help together!"
In the backyard, many Pokémons suddenly appeared, some chasing and playing, some helping out, and some pestering their trainers and acting coquettishly.
“You have a great affinity.”
Sirona looked at Tokiwa Lilac, who was surrounded by elves and had a happy smile on her face, and said with a smile.
"Ah, Sirona-senpai."
Tokiwa Clove blushed and scratched her head shyly, "Hehe, because being with the elves is a very happy thing!"
"I agree with this." Lu Ye nodded with deep understanding.
Shirona rolled her eyes at Lu Ye who interrupted her and was suddenly startled.
"Kou Jie~()"
Geng Gui stuck out his tongue and licked Lu Ye.
Sirona asked nervously, "Are you okay?"
"Small problem." Teacher Lu calmly took out a cherry fruit from his jacket pocket.
Luckily, we were going to make spicy food today, and we brought enough cherry fruits! Xiaogang came over from a distance and waved to Teacher Lu: "Teacher Lu, let's prepare the food today!"
"No problem." Lu Ye replied, "What's the main course today?"
Xiaogang walked closer and looked at Shirona in surprise, and Shirona responded with a faint smile.
We clearly agreed to be brothers, but you secretly brought your family with you!? Xiao Gang, who has a "real man bond" with Teacher Lu, replied with mixed feelings:
"For an open-air hot pot, you can set up a few more stoves, because..."
Xiao Gang scratched his cheek and coughed dryly: "Red's Snorlax, my Rhydon... everyone is a big eater."
"Kou Jie!" Gengar waved his fist in dissatisfaction.
Speaking of big eaters, don't underestimate me, squint your eyes! "That's right." Lu Ye thought of the last time he made dumplings, "Then I'll come and help!"
"I'm coming too!" Sirona said excitedly.
In an instant, the expressions of Garchomp and Lucario beside them changed.
Lu Ye: "...You should stay here."
Sirona said dissatisfiedly: "Oh."
Land Shark and Lucario both breathed a sigh of relief.
Chihong and Changpan Dingxiang, two guys who can't cook, stood aside, looking at each other.
"If Qinglu was here, we could fight him." Chihong said regretfully.
"Yeah... Mr. Lu is the head chef, so it's not convenient to disturb him." Tokiwa Clove tilted her head, "Then... Miss Sirona?"
Chi Hong shook her head: "With Sirona's personality, even if she fights me now, she won't use her full strength."
The strength of Shirona who is giving her all and Shirona who is smiling are completely different people.
Tokiwa Clove nodded thoughtfully.
What's more... Miss Sirona looks very sweet now! For some reason, the yellow-haired ponytail girl's cheeks also flushed.
Taking a furtive glance at the man in the red hat beside him, Xiao Huang poked his fingertips.
"Chi, Chi Senior, um, I..."
Chi suddenly raised his head, looked into the night sky, and said with a smile: "The second group of guests is coming!"
In the clear winter night sky, the wind suddenly blew, and a dragon in the distance flapped its short wings and came over.
Yulongdu was wearing a red cloak, with his red hair standing on end and a look on his face that said "keep away from strangers".
But Chihong, who is familiar with him, knows that this guy is also a funny guy who likes to make jokes in his daily life.
"Mr. Du!" Dragonite slowly landed and Xiao Huang greeted him with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Huang, did you miss me?" Adu smiled and wanted to pinch Xiao Huang's cheek.
Chihong calmly reached out his hand and shook hands with A'du.
"That's just right. I want to find someone to fight with." Chihong's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.
Yulongdu was slightly startled and looked around: "Can we have dinner? I just come here to eat for free!"
Chihong smiled helplessly and asked, "The second wave, are they the kings from Kanto?"
"Logically speaking, that older young woman should be arriving soon." A'Du restrained his teasing expression and said thoughtfully, "It seems that she is going to Hualan City to pick up someone and come here together."
"Hualan City?" Chihong asked.
Xiao Huang suddenly felt a little cold and raised his head. The gorgeous and crystal snowbird flapped its beautiful icy wings, and its long tail left a string of snowflakes.
The mature red-haired woman crossed her legs and lay on the back of Articuno; Xiaoxia hugged Articuno's neck and shivered from the cold.
"Auntie, aren't you afraid of falling?" Lu Ye looked up and asked.
"After all... that's how the Four Heavenly Kings made their debut." Xiaogang, who was cutting onions beside him, said with tears in his eyes.
Articuno flapped its wings and slowly landed with Kona and Xiaoxia on board.
"When did you tame Articuno?" Yulongdu asked in surprise.
"I haven't tamed it." Kona glanced at it and replied calmly: "It lives near the Twin Islands. It is considered my friend."
Kona gently patted Articuno, and Articuno flapped its wings, leaving behind a string of ice crystals, and disappeared into the night.
"No matter how many times I've seen it, the Ice Pokémon's figure always impresses me." Kona pushed his glasses and said with a touch of emotion.
"Dragon-type elves too!" Yulongdu nodded.
Xiaoxia waved and said hello to Chihong, then turned to Tokiwa Lilac: "Long time no see, Xiaohuang."
"Hmm..." Tokiwa Clove nodded weakly.
Xiaoxia lowered her head and looked at Xiaohuang's hand holding the red collar. Her eyes dimmed, and she looked up and smiled: "Dinner should not be served yet... Do you need us to help?"
"Teacher Lu and Xiaogang are already preparing." Chi Hong said with a smile, "Once everyone is here, we should be able to start."
The conversation between the two was familiar and polite.
Kona held his cheek and sighed with a smile.
Chihong... is truly a man with a lot of sins! ...
The Shura Field obviously did not affect the cooking area that Xiaogang and Teacher Lu were in charge of.
"What are you doing?" Shirona asked quietly, afraid of disturbing Lu Ye's work.
"Pickling. After pickling, the ingredients will be more flavorful." Lu Ye said casually.
Shirona hugged her face with one hand, supporting her delicate cheek, and nodded slightly.
"There's freshly made ice cream in the refrigerator." Lu Ye turned around and took a look. "You can pick it yourself."
Sirona's eyes lit up with a smile, like a child who had been praised, and she asked softly, "Do you want me to help you pick one too?"
“……”Xiaogang’s hands shook as he was beating the eggs.
"Actually, no, because I made one flavor in the fridge just in case you were too hesitant."
"Oh——" Sirona trailed off the sentence.
“……” Xiaogang looked up at the sky, feeling a little sour in his heart.
It turns out that all the trainers standing at the top of Pokémon are in pairs?
Aunt Kona originally wanted to come to the cooking area to tease Teacher Lu.
But when she got closer, she was suddenly stunned.
"Sirona champion?"
Sirona looked back and said with a smile, "It's King Kona, it's nice to meet you."
"Who are you……"
"I came here with Teacher Lu." Sirona said with a smile.
Kona was stunned for a long time and looked at Lu Ye who was coughing violently.
In an instant, the old lady gradually understood everything.
I thought that Lu Ye was bringing single people to this party...
I didn't expect that this kid was here to kill dogs?
"Ha, nice...nice to meet you." Kona took off his glasses, wiped the frames and said with a dry laugh.
I put it on again and looked at the sky which was about to snow.
Aunt Kona sighed.
There was no snow, but why did my heart seem to be braving a snowstorm? At this time, Kona narrowed his eyes and looked at the small dot in the night sky.
The dot grew bigger and bigger, revealing Ajin, who was wearing goggles and had a playful smile on his face.
"Oh, the third group of guests is here." Lu Ye said casually.
"Teacher Lu!!"
Riding on Pokkis, Akin performed a juggling move and swooped down from the sky.
"Poker!" The angry Pokkiss looked at his 'sister' on the ground and also stepped on the gas.
Xiaoyin grabbed the crow leader's claws and hung in the air, sighing helplessly.
After the two fell down, Ajin was suddenly stunned.
Because, Kona was standing in front of him with a smile: "Xiao Jin... how about we have a fight?"
I haven't even had a chance to catch my breath, and we have to fight right away?
Ah Jin was stunned for a long time, then suddenly blew his bangs: "If there is no difference, I will accompany you to the end!"
Teacher Lu glanced around at Aunt Kona, who had a gentle smile, and Jin Laowu, who was courting death.
Sighed silently.
Aunt Kona's ice doll, even Red has suffered from it!
Stop it, Ajin!
There are people outside who want to ambush you!
…
Inside the institute.
"The trio from Kanto and Johto are here."
Professor Oak looked out at the bustling courtyard and took a sip of coffee with a smile.
"Why don't you go over there?" Dr. Oak turned around and asked.
"I'll be there after I finish organizing the information." Christal smiled.
"That kid Ajin is about to get humiliated." Professor Oak blinked deliberately.
"Well...then we should finish cleaning up first!" Christal said firmly with a red face.
Yulongdu and Qinglu sat on the sofa and looked at each other.
"I didn't expect that so many people could be gathered together." Yulongdu sighed.
"The charm of some leaders lies not only in their strength." Qinglu said lightly.
Yu Longdu frowned, and the image of the short-sleeved man in a suit flashed through his mind.
In a sense...
Mr. Lu, who can gather all the righteousness, is no less than Aka back then, or even Sakaki who infiltrated the alliance...
As I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the front door of the institute.
"Because you don't have a flying mount, you have to come in through the front door?"
Professor Oak muttered, opening the front door and a bustling young man ran in.
"I'm late!" Xiaozhi said anxiously, "The party isn't over yet, is it?!"
"It's over." Dr. Oak said with a straight face, "Come back next year."
"It's like this again..." Xiaozhi's face fell and he was stunned for a moment, "Why should I say again?"
"Don't tease this guy." The purple-clothed young man with a necklace stood up and said, "Everyone is in the backyard, you can see them when you go there."
"Senior Qinglu!" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up.
"Okay, I know you're not here to see me."
Qinglu waved her hands, indicating that she didn't want to get close to Xiaozhi, and said lightly, "Chi and Teacher Lu are in the back..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man had already passed by him like a gust of wind.
Qinglu: “…”
"Hahaha, there will also be a day when you will be ignored!" Yulongdu laughed.
"Shut up." Qinglu said.
Yulongdu patted Qinglu's shoulder: "Hahaha~o(*≧▽≦)ツ"
"Xiaozhi." Qinglv smiled coldly and whispered, "I hope you can bear the next training..."
…
"Senior Chi! Teacher Lu!"
Xiaozhi ran into the backyard excitedly, but was suddenly knocked away by a dark shadow.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Jin, who was knocked away by Kona, rubbed his arm with his teeth bared, and suddenly said in a daze, "Hey, I'm okay?"
"Fuck, why is there someone taking the blame?" Jin hurriedly pulled Xiaozhi up from behind him, "Little brother, are you okay?"
Kona and his group also rushed over.
"Sorry, I didn't stop!"
"Auntie, you obviously did it on purpose!" Ajin complained.
"..." Kona's temples jumped, but he decided to forgive Ajin this time.
"I, I'm fine." Xiaozhi shook his head, quickly regained consciousness, and said with a smile: "I'm here to see Senior Chi!"
Ajin looked at Xiaozhi as if he were an alien.
Being used as a human buffer, he was able to recover so quickly...
Is this guy a monster? ...
Not far away.
Red was sandwiched between Misty and Yellow, teasing the Solitude with a smile.
The Sun Eevee named 'Abu' quietly looked in the direction of Sylveon with blushing cheeks.
"Senior Chi!" Xiaozhi hurried over and took off his hat, revealing the signature on the inside of the brim. "This is... your autographed model that I got from the Internet. I have always been your fan!"
Chihong was slightly stunned: "But I have never sold limited editions, and the hat has always been red."
"Huh?!" Xiaozhi was struck by lightning, "Why is this happening..."
"But I've heard rumors about you." Chihong smiled slightly, "Maybe in the future, your hat can also become a limited edition?"
Xiaozhi was stunned for a long time, looked at Chihong with a gentle smile, and suddenly turned the brim of his hat to the back of his head.
"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and my dream is to become a Pokémon Master."
Xiaozhi's eyes were burning with war: "Senior Aka, please fight with me!"
Chihong stood up from between Xiaohuang and Xiaoxia, lowered the brim of his hat slightly, and his eyes were sharp.
"Just what I want!"
…
The sound of fierce fighting was heard.
Lu Ye had a headache: "Which match is this tonight?"
"The second match." Xiao Gang replied, "Including the one where Jin got beaten up just now."
“These guys…”
Teacher Lu looked strange.
Stop fighting! It's better to have a good meal! Sirona: () Teacher Lu glanced at Sirona beside him.
Shirona was licking her ice cream in small sips. When she saw Lu Ye looking at her, she immediately turned around alertly.
"I won't snatch it from you..." Lu Ye was speechless.
Looking around, the hot pots on several stoves were already prepared.
The soup base is fungus. I don’t know where Xiao Lan got these giant mushrooms from, but it is said that they taste great.
The ingredients include various tree fruits produced in Dr. Oki’s backyard.
There are also common curry ingredients in Sword and Shield, such as sausages, fried foods, and beans.
By the way, Mr. Lu always uses spicy flavors.
"It's so spicy...is it really okay?" Xiaogang's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"The spicier it is, the more appetizing it is!" Lu Ye put the notebook back into his jacket pocket with a smile, "Aren't Moltres-level dishes also spicy?"
Xiao Gang: "Yeah, that makes sense."
"Okay." Lu Ye patted Xiao Gang's shoulder.
He made a microphone shape with his hand and shouted to the people who were watching the fight.
"Everyone, let's get ready for dinner!"
