After leaving the Red Dojo, Afei and Xiaomi walked for more than two hours according to the road pointed out by Aju. The bustling Red City finally appeared in their field of vision.
Stepping into the clean streets, the city's atmosphere made the two tired travelers feel particularly warm. Although nature was beautiful, people could not escape from society as a whole.
When they arrived at the city, the first thing Hoodlum and Xiaomi did was to look for the Pokémon Center. Fortunately, the Pokémon Center in every city was not difficult to find, and the building was quite stylish.
Just as the two of them entered the Pokémon Center, a short teenager ran out and almost bumped into Hoodlum. The teenager rushed over and said," Sorry!”She ran away.
"What a rash child." Hoodlum shook his head and laughed.
"There must be something important that you have to do.”After saying that, Xiao Mi walked towards the counter.
"There are a lot of people in the Pokémon Center today. Is there another meeting?”Hoodlum looked around as he walked. There were many young trainers gathered at the resting area. They were all gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing with each other. It didn't look like they were going to participate in a competition. If there was a competition, the trainers would be more serious and think about their own training.
"I don't know. Maybe I'll know if I ask Joey.”Amy said nonchalantly. She only hoped that she could travel safely and not encounter any fighting competitions.
"Don't look like that. This might not be a Pokémon competition.”Hoodlum quickly caught up with Xiao Mi.
"Who knows?"
"Welcome to the Pokémon Center. Is there anything I can help with?”The beautiful Miss Jouyi asked in a charming voice.
"Hello, Miss Joey. Our Pokémon need treatment. They are very tired.”Hoodlum said.
"Leave it to me. I'll make them healthy again.”Jouyi smiled.
" Sorry to trouble you," Hoodlum said as he and Amy handed the precious balls to Joey. Shirley and the Pokémon needed to rest at the Pokémon Center for the night. They would only return to retrieve them the next day.
"By the way, Miss Jouyi, why are there so many trainers gathered here?”Hoodlum asked.
"These trainers are naturally gathered here for tomorrow's Pokémon Exchange.”Jouyi explained.
"Trade fair?"
"That's right. Red City holds a Pokémon Exchange every year at this time. Trainers can exchange their favorite Pokémon with others through this event.”After saying that, Joey went back to work.
Hoodlum heard such interesting news and naturally wouldn't let it go. He looked at Amy expectantly.
"I know. I'll stay for one more day!”Amy agreed before Hoodlum could say anything. Although she looked like she was reluctant to agree, she was actually quite interested in this gathering.
"That's great!" " Maybe we can see some rare magical treasures," Hoodlum said happily.”
"Stop fantasizing. How can we exchange rare magical treasures? Let's hurry up and contact Dr. Omu. I'm hungry.”
The two of them came to the video phone and quickly picked up Dr. Oki's call.
"I was wondering who would call when it was almost time to eat. So it was the two of you. Speaking of which, you haven't contacted me for a while.”Dr. Damu asked before they could speak.
"Of course we're fine. We're already in Red City.”Hoodlum replied.
"Red City? I heard that there's a trade fair there. What a coincidence that you're here at this time. Don't forget to tell me if you want to pass on any magical treasures.”Dr. Damu smiled.
"Speaking of Pokémon, are my friends doing well?”
"Of course. Don't you see who's nurturing them?”Dr. Oki pretended to be angry. How could his famous Dr. Oki not take good care of Pokémon?
" I'm sorry!" Hoodlum realized that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized.
"That's more like it. Don't worry, they're all fine. However, some things have happened. For example, your Fluffy Ball evolved into a Moth, and that King Nedo seems to be in love. It's chasing after a Nedo Queen all day.”
Hoodlum was slightly surprised to hear that King Nedo was in love. Hoodlum had never taken out King Nedo, who wanted to become stronger. Now that he had enough Pokémon, he temporarily left it with Dr. Ooki. If their relationship was that good, Hoodlum really needed to discuss it with the owner of Queen Nedo. In short, he would take this matter to heart and think of a way to deal with it when he returned to Zhenxin Town.
The two of them chatted about Pokémon for a while before turning to the topic of messages.
"Some time ago, an engineering team sent a letter asking for your help. The location is near Qianhong City. If you go now, you'll be in a hurry!”Dr. Damu said.
"I heard from Xiao Mao about this. He decided to go there and take a look. Since there are already powerful trainers helping, I won't join in the fun.”Hoodlum replied.
Dr. Damu nodded and looked at Xiao Mi.""Your grandparents are very worried about you. Give them a call when you're free. Don't let them worry.”
Mi nodded in understanding.
"Alright, that's all. Ah Fei, you have to keep up the good work. Xiao Mao has also collected 7 badges. Don't lose to him.”Dr. Damu smiled.
"Of course."
Hoodlum and Amy went to the Pokémon Center's restaurant after ending their communication with Dr. Oki. They had a sumptuous dinner and were free to do whatever they wanted after dinner. Amy had disappeared for a while. It seemed that she had gone to call her family. Although Amy was usually cold and no one could guess what she was thinking, Hoodlum, who had been with her for a long time, knew that Amy was a very attentive person. How could such a person worry the two elders in the family?
It was probably because Amy had a strange grandfather. When Ah Fei saw Amy running back angrily from outside, he didn't say anything and jumped onto the bed to cover herself with the blanket.
Ever since Mi had started traveling, this was the result every time she called her family. Sometimes, Hoodlum really wanted to meet that interesting old man. Hoodlum had never heard of Mi's grandmother, so he wondered what kind of person she was.
The two of them were staying in the dormitory attached to the Pokémon Center that night. Basically, all Pokémon centers had such dormitories for free use by trainers so that they would not have to spend the night on the streets when traveling.
Mi lay on the bed and never got up again. Hoodlum sat in front of the TV and watched the video of the last Quartz Competition. He wanted to learn more about the large-scale competition. The clock gradually reached 11 o'clock. Hoodlum, who was watching TV alone, fell asleep on the sofa.
By the time Hoodlum woke up, the sun had already risen. He was covered with a blanket, which Xiaomi had probably covered him with at night. The morning sun shone through the window into the room, and Hoodlum was a little confused.
"Are you up? It's already 9 o'clock, you really can sleep!”Xiao Mi's voice came from the door, and Hoodlum saw her come in with many packages.
Cher jumped onto Hoodlum happily and licked his cheeks with her wet tongue.
Why was Xue Li here? Hoodlum thought to himself. His brain seemed to be lacking some engine oil this morning, so he couldn't work that fast.
"I went to the Pokémon Center this morning and retrieved all the Pokémon. I also spent some time buying a lot of things.”Xiao Mi was busy organizing her things. Her words explained why Cher was here. Hoodlum looked at the table. His shirt was there last night, and now there were five more precious balls.
"There's still breakfast on the table. Hurry up and eat it. Have you forgotten that we have something to do today?”Xiao Mi's voice continued.
Hoodlum nodded and walked to the table. There was a sandwich and a glass of milk for breakfast. Hoodlum first drank a glass of milk, and the rich vitamins quickly flowed into his brain through various blood vessels. Hoodlum felt as if he had come back to life. At this moment, he immediately thought of a problem and stopped the sandwich in his mouth.
He looked warily at the sandwich in his hand. Was this breakfast prepared by Amy? Forget about the milk, but was the sandwich really edible? The taste of the rice made by Xiaomi was too different from its appearance. It looked delicious, but it was completely different when it entered its stomach.
"Hmm? You were just wondering if this thing could really be eaten!”Xiao Mi suddenly appeared behind Hoodlum and looked at him with a strange smile. She only let Hoodlum go when she saw him breaking out in cold sweat. She snorted and said,""Don't worry, the sandwiches were brought back from the Pokémon centre.”
Hoodlum put the sandwich into his mouth with relief. It tasted really good.
It was rare for him to wake up late today. Perhaps it was because he still had some old habits. Hoodlum was a very independent person and knew how to take care of himself. It was inevitable that he would sleep in when he was resting. However, after coming to this world, his habit of sleeping in gradually disappeared because of the tight life. After arriving in the city, Hoodlum couldn't help but relax, so he unknowingly slept in again.
After breakfast, Hoodlum washed up and tidied up everything. The two of them rushed to the city's central park.
Today was the day of the Pokémon Trade Fair in Red City. Although the name didn't sound good, there were many people attending. When Hoodlum and Amy arrived with Shirley, the park was already very lively. The trainers brought their Pokémon and chatted with people in the park. In fact, these trainers weren't all here to trade their Pokémon. They were more here to watch the show and interact with the trainers from other places. Hoodlum and Amy came with this goal.
Other than those who were here to watch the show, there were also those who really wanted to trade their Pokémon. After all, this was the purpose of holding this convention. There were also people who came to watch the show, but when they saw a Pokémon they liked, they couldn't help but trade.
Hoodlum was quite attached to his own Pokémon. If he was asked to trade for it, he probably wouldn't do it. However, if he encountered someone who didn't know what a precious Pokémon was, he wouldn't be so stubborn as to let go of a good opportunity.
The two of them had just entered the park when they were attracted by a Windspeed Dog that was showing off. This Windspeed Dog was very strong. It kept shooting flames at the sky. The power of its unique skill seemed to be very good. It was a very well-trained magical treasure.
Hoodlum couldn't understand why someone would want to trade such a good Pokémon with someone else. He searched for the owner of the Windspeed Dog in the crowd. There was no need to look for him. The trainer surrounded by the crowd was the owner. When Hoodlum and Xiaomi saw the trainer, they turned around and left. The trainer was not someone else. They were very familiar with each other. They had just met a few days ago, Mao!
He didn't expect Xiao Mao to come too. Wasn't he going to participate in the gopher catching convention? Why was he here? Hoodlum had forgotten that there was another type of people who attended this kind of convention. They were people like Mao who came to join in the fun and show off their Pokémon.
After walking away, the two of them were glad that they were not discovered by Xiao Mao. In fact, Xiao Mao was surrounded by beautiful women now. How could he be distracted to see the two people passing by?
Hoodlum and Xiaomi took Shirley to stroll around the central park. Other than some precious ones, all the Pokémon in the Kanto region were gathered here. The two felt that their trip here was worth it.
