At the Rocket Team headquarters, Ban Mu sat on a chair and listened to his subordinate's report.
"This is Lin Xiao's information. Boss, should we take action?”Ban Mu's subordinate asked softly.
Ban Mu waved his hand at his subordinate." No need. Dismiss all the people who are tracking him. There's no need to report anything about him in the future. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to go against us, let him be. Alright, you can leave."”
"Yes, sir! Boss Banmu."
The next day, Billy and the others arrived at the Pokémon Center in Withered Leaf City under Zheng Hui's escort.
As soon as they met, they surrounded Lin Xiao and asked non-stop questions, making him dizzy. Lin Xiao spent countless mouthfuls of saliva to calm them down.
Billy seemed to have been stimulated by Lin Xiao and became passionate about the little elf training. He pulled Xiao Gang to be his training partner all day long, causing Xiao Gang to cry out bitterly.
Two days passed in a flash. Billy, who was passionate about training, didn't even go to the first mission challenge dojo. Even Lin Xiao's invitation to go back to Zhenxin Town with him was rejected. Billy was stubborn and wouldn't change his mind easily.
Lin Xiao was also rejected by Mai. The reason was that " there are too many people, and it would be uncomfortable to go." Mai, who had rejected Lin Xiao, took the initiative to take care of the giant dragon. The giant dragon's injuries had already stabilized, and it would recover after a period of rest.
Helpless, Lin Xiao could only leave Benjira behind to accompany Mai. Benjira had already broken through the barrier between a Quasi God and a God, and it needed a lot of time to adjust. Lin Xiao left it behind for training while protecting Mai and the injured giant dragon.
After dealing with all kinds of things, Lin Xiao rode the fast dragon and set off for Zhen Xin Town. The time he and Flower Lady agreed on had arrived.
Sitting on the fast dragon, it took less than two hours from Withered Leaf Town to Zhenxin Town. The speed of the fast dragon was not just for show.
As soon as he returned to Zhenxin Town, Lin Xiao received a warm welcome. Dr. Damu, Damu Snow City, Flower Lady, and many villagers were all welcoming the birthday boy. Seeing everyone's warm and caring smiles, Lin Xiao was so touched that he cried. He bent down and thanked everyone.
Faced with Lin Xiao's thanks, everyone happily accepted it. However, a few of the bad-tempered elders were unhappy and grumbled,"Lin kid, you've helped us so much, and we've always wanted to repay you. If you dare to say thank you again, I'll smash your butt.”
The old man's words were unanimously praised by everyone. After that, Lin Xiao no longer acted pretentiously and walked towards the Flower Lady's house while chatting and laughing with everyone.
The birthday party was held at Hanako's house. Although Dr. Oki and Ooki Snow City wanted to hold it at the Ooki Research Institute, they were not confident enough and were defeated by Hanako with just a few words.
The two of them could only nag at Lin Xiao in their hearts.'Damn brat, can't you spend your birthday at home? Why did he have to agree to someone else's birthday? Now, he had to hold it at someone else's house.”
In the world of Pokémon, 16 years old was considered an adult according to the law. Lin Xiao's birthday was also equivalent to a coming-of-age ceremony, so it was held in a particularly grand manner.
Flower Lady's house was already filled with people from the inner and outer three floors. It was simply a sea of people. The people of this world attached great importance to the coming-of-age ceremony. With the promotion of Hanako and Dr. Oki, almost everyone in the vicinity came.
Fortunately, the food did not have to be as varied as on Earth in his previous life. If that was the case, things would be big. Just preparing food would make one's teeth ache.
In order to rush to Zhenxin Town earlier, Lin Xiao did not even eat breakfast. He could only hide in a corner and steal some pastries. However, before he could eat two pieces, he was caught red-handed. The Great Wood Snow City caught Lin Xiao secretly eating and without a word, hit him on the head a few times.
"You brat, everyone is looking for you everywhere, but you! You came here to eat snacks!"
You're getting beaten up for eating snacks? Lin Xiao, who was confused, was dragged out of the corner. Lin Xiao had only heard of the coming-of-age ceremony and had never participated in it. He was a hater for everything.
"Come, come, come. The birthday boy is here. When it's past twelve, the little guy will become an adult. Everyone can start!!! Kill him ruthlessly!"
"Yes! We can't let him off today. Hehe, is everyone ready?”Dr. Damu held Lin Xiao's hand and shouted happily.
"I'm ready. Today, I'll make sure he doesn't even know his surname!!”Everyone rubbed their palms and stared at Lin Xiao, afraid that he would run away.
Lin Xiao's hair stood on end from the crowd's blatant display." What is going on? Can anyone tell me?"
"Move aside, move aside! The guy is here." A few people carried a large jar over and shouted.
Dr. Damu took out a few ceramic bowls and shouted,"Lin Xiao, today is your 16th birthday and your coming-of-age ceremony. Let's have three bowls first!!”
F * ck! Lin Xiao finally understood why the fire was so strange. It turned out that the coming-of-age ceremony required them to drink. Of course, only men would do this. The girls would just have some fun and it would pass.
If someone were to compete with him in alcohol tolerance, Lin Xiao would definitely not be afraid of anyone! However, the current situation wasn't right! He was not allowed to use a cup, so he used a bowl instead.
According to the rules, Lin Xiao had to return the toast, which was three bowls per person. Although it was only rice wine that was less than 20% alcohol, there were more than a hundred people here!!! Even if there were dozens of women and children who could not drink, Lin Xiao's eyes turned black when he thought of this. This was no different from taking his own life.
It was no wonder that when people asked about their coming of age ceremonies, most of them would not talk about it.
It was hard to get off the tiger. He had to drink it. He had to die early and reincarnate! Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and drank all three bowls of wine in one go.
"Good! Good job." Lin Xiao's heroic spirit made everyone gasp in admiration.
After drinking three bowls of wine, Dr. Damu, whose face was slightly red, burped. He raised his hand and announced loudly,"Next!"
Daimu Snow City, who was standing at the side, immediately came forward." Lin Xiao, although you're not my biological son, I've always treated you like one. Today, you're an adult. Uncle will respect you!”
Lin Xiao took two steps forward and gave Great Wood Snow City a hug. He then downed the three bowls of wine without hesitation.
"Well done!" Under Dr. Damu's lead, everyone started clapping.
After drinking three bowls of wine, Daimu Snowy City raised his hand and gestured," Next!”
Under everyone's repeated bombardment, Lin Xiao's eyes darted around, his legs trembled, and his stomach swelled. During this period, the gentle and virtuous Flower Lady also drank a few bowls with Lin Xiao. Not only that, but a few little brats also ran over and said in a delicate voice,"Brother Lin Xiao, we'll toast you too!”
In the end, Lin Xiao shrank under the table and fainted. Only then did everyone let him go.
In his daze, Lin Xiao only remembered being carried onto the bed and falling asleep in a daze.
