Chapter 578 Brother Aoki on Vacation
Outside the villa.

Gladion took a deep breath and released two Pokémon first.

"Come out, red-eyed Umbreon and Lycanroc!"

As a red light flashed that was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, Gladion's second-year speech, which was beginning to take on his future personal style, had already given rise to a vague foreshadowing.

Luo Mu on the side did not correct Gladion's intention in advance. Not to mention whether he had that position or not, even the second-year mentality of Gladion's family was not something he could change.

Is Lilia well-educated? Is she polite? Is she a rich lady?
When she was in her second year of high school, she was even better than her brother.

This is a genetic problem, and Luo Mu doesn't think he has the ability to solve it.

A Pokémon walking on all fours and one on two feet appeared in the clearing.

The black-haired Pokémon on the left is slightly larger than a small dog, with golden ring-shaped patterns on its body, emitting a soft golden glow under the bright moonlight above its head.

The moon Pokémon, Umbreon, is one of the eight evolutions of Eevee.

This Moon Eevee evolved from a seriously injured Eevee that Gladion met by chance when he was a child. It was his first Pokémon, and it was their close relationship that triggered the evolution of this line.

The Pokémons are already quite familiar with Umbreon. After all, Gladion also released Umbreon from the Poké Ball during the few days that Gladion stayed in the villa.

Especially, elder sister Eevee and younger sister Eevee were quite close to their fellow Eevee. They went straight over and touched noses with Moon Eevee in their own unique way of greeting.

Sister Eevee is fine, she just feels a little envious of Moon Eevee because the other party has already evolved.

But the way that sister Eevee looked at Moonrak was almost shining like the patterns on Moonrak's body.

So handsome! So cool!
Next to Umbreon is Lycanroc Night, who looks like a werewolf, with fiery red eyes, white and red fur, and forelimbs with sharp claws slightly drooping, walking upright with a hunched back.

Although Gladion, the werewolf, looks very fierce, he is actually very kind-hearted.

Both Pokémon get along well with the Roentgens, and their existence is no secret.

The purpose of Luo Mu asking Gladion to show it was the next Pokémon.

This time, Gladion did not hesitate whether there would be any danger if the Silver Companion War Beast was exposed to Luo Mu. He held the commemorative ball in his hand and threw it without hesitation.

With a "bang", the commemorative ball opened.

Along with the heavy sound of landing, the heavy breathing like a beast echoed in the quiet night sky.

A "never seen before" Pokémon appeared next to Gladion.

It has a variety of composite elements such as an animal body, bird claws and a fish tail. Its hind legs have scale-like structures and its head is bound by a heavy copper shackle mask. The heavy breathing sound comes from the mask.

It almost looked as if someone had artificially mixed these features together in order to take into account the characteristics and strengths of Pokémon.

"chatter!"

This Pokémon seemed a little agitated because it was exposed to so many unfamiliar Pokémon for the first time, but it slowly calmed down under Gladion's skilled soothing.

"it is?"

Luo Mu pretended to see it for the first time and asked.

"Zaobo calls it Attribute: Empty, but its real name is Silver Companion Warmon." Gladion said, "It can be considered an artificial Pokémon created by Zaobo based on a certain myth."

After getting everything out of the way, Gladion felt a lot more relaxed.

He hasn't figured out how to explain the existence of the Silver Companion Beast to his mother Lusamine and his sister Liliae.

But Luo Mu is different. Apart from his father and James, this is the first person who makes him recognize and feel at ease. He feels that he should be able to confide in the other person.

This was indeed the case. Luo Mu did not have any reaction to the Silver Companion Beast that would make it or Gladion feel uneasy, but listened patiently to Gladion's story.

What Gladion told was pretty much the same as what Luo Mu knew, basically, that Silverbeast had saved him and his sister Liliae when they were children.

Then, fearing that he might lose his job if his deeds were exposed, Zaobo decided to go all out and simply tied up, imprisoned and kept under strict surveillance.

After that incident, Gladion realized his own weakness and his desire to become stronger reached its peak. He became estranged from Lusamine due to various misunderstandings. Finally, he successfully carried out his plan four days ago and stole the imprisoned Silver Companion.

Then came the things that happened after Luo Mu came to Alola.

"I want to remove the shackles for the Silver Companion War Beast, and I also want to be strong enough to protect my mother and Liliae."

Now that he had talked it out with Lusamine and realized that she didn't really not care about Liliae's incident, Gladion's only goal now was to become stronger and protect his mother while going to the Crown Snow to find his father Morn.

Gladion looked at Luo Mu with hope, hoping that he could offer some suggestions or methods.

Luo Mu was looking at the silver beast with determined eyes sticking out from the holes in the bronze mask, and he stroked his chin and thought silently.

Although the attributes in the game: the relationship between Kong and Yinbanzhanbeast can be considered as an "evolution" or "form change".

But according to the current situation, the opponent is just bound by the mask shackles put on it by Zaobo, and its agility and speed are reduced because of the heavy shackles.

There is no evolution or morphological change. From the very beginning, the Silver Companion Beast is the Silver Companion Beast.

"The only way to break free from the shackles is to rely on the Silver Companion War Beast itself."

Luo Mu said with a hint of deep meaning.

In the animation, in order to save Lillie, Ginzosaurus broke free from the shackles of the mask with his own will and strength, gaining enough speed and jumping power, and also made Lillie recall the "truth" that she was afraid to touch Pokémon.

In this regard, Luo Mu felt that instead of intervening in advance, it would be better to let them find the truth themselves.

When Moon returns to the Alola region and brings back the Ultra Beast Liliae, this problem will eventually be solved.

Luo Mu's answer to Gladion was -

Keep a regular exercise habit, and when the time comes, the shackles will no longer be able to trap the Silver Companion War Beast.

After listening to these words, Gladion nodded thoughtfully, and after asking Luo Mu a few questions about training Moon Eevee, Lycanroc and Silverbreed, he returned to the house.

While ensuring sleep to make tomorrow's training more energetic, Gladion also had to think about how to train according to the plan given by Luo Mu, and please the Roentgen cats and get their "assistance".

The next morning.

It was the fifth day of Luo Mu's vacation in the Alola region. Today he chose to sleep until he woke up naturally. Even though it was already bright in the sky, he was still sleeping soundly in bed.

After tasting the breakfast prepared by Zhihuixing, Gladion took the various gifts that the butler James had sent early in the morning after he contacted him last night, and first stopped Erguiyan who was about to borrow the tablet from Zhihuixing.

"Bonnie?"

Eruption tilted his head, staring at Gladion who was blocking his way with puzzled eyes.

"Cough cough."

Gladion coughed lightly, recalling what James had taught him that morning, and with red ears he held the gift in front of Erotica.

"Can you please help my werewolf to improve its ability to withstand attacks?"

According to some information Gladion obtained after giving gifts to Gnat, in addition to Swampert who can hammer Garou into a meat patty with one punch.

Among the Pokémon that Luo Mu brought with him for the holiday, Uruk-O was the most powerful, but it was not enough to overwhelm Lycanroc. Uruk-O originally did not want to agree, as it had to chat on the phone with its best friend, the Blacksmith.

But when he saw the gift Gladion handed over, Ermione's face suddenly lit up with joy. He took the brand new top-of-the-line tablet that had not yet been unpacked and patted his chest.

"Bonnie Bonnie!"

From today on, I'll be protecting you!

As for chatting on the phone for a long time with her best friend Qiao Duanjiang, Erguiyan thought it was okay not to chat for a few days.

After the fall of Errachidia, with the help of Gladion's money offensive, he quickly gathered the sparring partners he needed for training.

Just hit as hard as you can to train the Nightmane Werewolf's ability to withstand attacks, and at the same time help it practice the Double Return of the Eruption.

The Ponytail, which was fished out by the big carrot on Bonny Island, helps Umbreon master some new moves.

There is also Milotic who helps everyone with treatment and practices with Silver's companion beasts.

At the suggestion of Zhihuixing, Gladion chose these three as his initial training subjects.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, when Luo Mu woke up, the training outside was still going on hotly.

He opened the curtains and looked outside at the Lycanroc who was knocked away by Eruption's stick and then got up again, the Silverbringer who tried to break through Milotic's defense, and the Phantom Flame and Umbreon who were huddled together to study some slightly insidious ghost-type moves.

Luo Mu sighed: "Young people are full of energy."

Swampert went out to sea for a trip, and Dragonite also went to the sea with its mother. Luo Mu, who didn't feel like cooking for lunch today, simply decided to eat outside.

I told Zhi Huixing that I would pack my own food when I come back later.

Luo Mu took the Roentgens and Eevee sisters directly to the restaurant "Eina Restaurant" located on the north side of the villa near the jungle, which was recommended to him on the first day he arrived in Alola but he never went there.

The restaurant was not far from the villa, and soon Luo Mu saw the building with the corresponding sign.

Along the way, the little Eevee girl seemed inexplicably excited, and seemed to be much more active than her sister. You couldn't tell at all that she was once weak due to congenital deficiency.

Luo Mu felt that it was probably after communicating with its evolved fellows that it also developed the urge to evolve.

Just looking at its performance, it seems to be very interested in the route of Umbreon. If it can complete the evolution of a different colored blue-ringed Umbreon, it would seem that it would be pretty good too?
As for sister Eevee, she has not shown any inclination towards any evolutionary branch yet, but she has more or less developed a longing for evolution.

Calling back the Ibrahimovic sisters who were running to the side to smell the blooming flowers, Luo Mu opened the door of Ena's restaurant.

Accompanied by the pleasant sound of wind chimes, a green-haired girl wearing a pink apron and about the same age as Xiaozhi hurried over.

"Welcome to Eina Restaurant. What do you plan to eat today?"

“Ehhhhh——!?”

Looking at Luo Mu, Mao looked as if he had seen a ghost and screamed out subconsciously.

"Mao, don't be rude to your guests."

A head popped out from the kitchen nearby, reminded Mao quietly, and then retreated back.

"I know, Dad"

Mao dejectedly apologized to Luo Mu:
"I'm sorry, I was a little surprised to see you so suddenly."

For Mao, the fact that Luo Mu easily defeated Guzma a few days ago shocked her for a long time.

I was naturally shocked when I saw Luo Mu suddenly without any mental preparation.

"It's okay. Please recommend some of your signature dishes to me."

Luo Mu didn't care about it. He happily found an empty seat and sat down, and then let the Roentgen cat and the Eevee sisters sit on the special seats for Pokémon.

"Oh, okay!"

Mao gently placed the menu in front of Luo Mu and glanced at the Roentgen cat out of the corner of his eye.

I think Dr. Kukui said it was called the Roentgen cat. So majestic.

Although his mental activity is a little active, this does not hinder Mao's professional qualities that he has acquired working in Eina Restaurant since he was a child.

Mao recommended several dishes that he was very confident in, and Luo Mu accepted them all.

He came here just to taste the food, so of course he would try the special ones. If they were delicious, he would order another portion to take back and give to Zhihuixing and the others.

After finishing the order, Mao was about to leave to help in the kitchen when Luo Mu suddenly called her.

"Did you plant those flowers outside?"

"Ah yes, it was left by my mother, and I am currently taking care of it."

Although he was confused as to why Luo Mu asked this question, Mao still answered obediently.

"They are blooming beautifully. It can be seen that you take good care of them." Luo Mu praised.

Mao blinked and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

"I think it would look better if we planted some Gracitia flowers inside."

Luo Mu said it casually as if unintentionally.

Although puzzled, Mao accepted his advice and thought about going to the school library tomorrow to look up what kind of flower Gracitia is, and by the way, ask if he could buy some seeds from a classmate whose family runs a flower shop.

After a while, a table full of steaming dishes filled the table, which looked excellent both in appearance and aroma.

Even if there was no entrance, Luo Mu knew that his trip today was definitely worth it!
Just as Luo Mu, the Roentgen cat and the Eevee sisters were salivating with anticipation and were about to feast on the food.

At the pleasant entrance where they had just entered, the clear and pleasant sound of wind chimes rang out again.

Originally, Luo Mu didn't care about this and planned to continue eating hard.

But when he listened to the man's voice communicating with Mao who came out to greet them, it sounded more and more familiar, and Luo Mu couldn't help but look back.

Then, his eyes met with Aoki's, who was also looking over subconsciously. He was wearing beach pants and a beach shirt, dressed casually, and looked a dozen years younger.

Luo Mu was stunned: “!”

Hey, isn’t this Brother Aoki!
Did that capitalist President Ye Ci really give him a holiday?

Aoki was stunned: “.”

Luo Mu was just about to say hello to Qingmu when he heard the other party curse under his breath, then turned around and left without hesitation.

"Damn, why do I always run into this guy when I'm on vacation!"

The hurried footsteps seemed to leave afterimages.
