Chapter 595 The Return of the Three

Almost two months have passed since the Blueberry College delegation left.

It has been almost a month and a half since Nemo, Shinji, and Shizuka set out on their journey to the Hoenn region to challenge gyms and battle in frontier areas.

Luo Mu had previously estimated that it would take Xiaozhi three to four months to travel to one region, and two to three regions a year.

After all, as the "protagonist", Xiaozhi encounters a lot of things, so it is understandable that he is a little slow.

If he only focused on challenging the gym or fighting in the frontier area, even adding the travel time, as long as the opponent was not closed, Luo Mu was confident that he could complete it in a week.

Not to mention that Nemo is not much weaker now than she was a year ago.

It took me nearly a month and a half to clear the battle frontier, mainly because I had to accompany Shinji and Shizuka to challenge gyms again, plus some things I encountered along the way and the detours I took when capturing Pokémon. All in all, it was actually quite reasonable.

The people who came to the airport to pick him up today were Nemo, who had just finished her battle against the frontier area, and Shinji and Shizuka, who had paused their gym challenges and were accompanying Nemo back to the Padya area temporarily.

Choosing to come back at this time, Luo Mu thought that Nimo, who had honed herself through fighting in the frontier area, should be ready to challenge the championship test.

This is also the reason why he made this proposal to Qishu so confidently.

After hearing what Luo Mu said, Qi Shu was stunned at first, and then thought he was joking with him. However, when a figure popped up in his mind, he fell into suspicion.

As the gym leader of the Brewing City gym, she is also one of the people who face Nimo's very discouraging trainer talent.

The suggestions that Nimo had given to her for her live broadcast had also helped her realize her dream of becoming a host. Her popularity was completely different from when she was live commentating on Luo Mu's championship test competition a year ago.

Nimo had already collected all eight badges, and even starting from the Jinhui Gym, she was facing a gym owner who was giving his all.

For some reason, when Luo Mu mentioned the new "champion-level trainer" that was about to be born, Qi Shu immediately thought of Nemo.

Since he thought so, Qishu naturally asked the same question.

"That's right. Nimo came back from training this time with the intention of officially challenging the championship test."

Luo Mu nodded slightly and answered Qi Shu's question.

At the same time, the two also entered the airport, waiting for the flight that Nemo and the other two were on to land.

"Isn't this Mr. Luo Mu? Are you here too?"

Suddenly, a slightly surprised male voice came from behind, and Luo Mu, who had not yet sat down on the chair, looked over.

The meticulously ironed butler uniform has sharp, razor-sharp lines, and the deep black wool blend has a matte texture under the airport lights.

The three brass buttons at the collar are like precisely calibrated clock gears, making the neck line straight and neat.

His hair, mixed with a few strands of white, was styled back like cloud marble. Every strand of silver was neatly hidden in the ebony background. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes were like the creases of pages in an ancient book. As he nodded politely, they gathered slightly, and then stretched into a standard arc like in an etiquette textbook the moment he straightened his back.

It is really a "powerful" butler whose professionalism can be understood at a glance.

Every move he makes shows his strong self-control. Although he is not in the same league as Zhi Huixing, he is still amazing in his own way.

"As expected, Mr. Sebastian, you are here too. Aren't Nemo's father and sister here?"

Luo Mu also nodded to Sebastian, the housekeeper of the Nemo family, and looked behind him, but did not see any other figures.

"You are the teacher of the Second Miss, so you can just call me Sebastian. As for the Master and the First Miss, unfortunately the Second Miss returned without even notifying her family. I only saw it when I was sorting out the information as usual."

".The master and the young lady are currently in Kalos for an important negotiation. I'm afraid they won't be able to make it back this time, so I have no choice but to come and pick them up at the airport."

An expression of regret appeared on Sebastian's face, but when he looked at Luo Mu, it turned into joy.

"Fortunately, Mr. Luo Mu, you are here to pick me up at the airport. Given the Second Miss's personality, she probably won't care about this matter. Instead, she will be very happy."

During the conversation, as a professional butler, Sebastian did not forget the strange tree that was obviously following Luo Mu.

Not only did he call out her name, but after a few humble compliments, the elated Qi Shu was almost looking up to the sky.

"Hahaha, what a promising and popular anchor, a trustworthy gym leader in Niangguang City. What nonsense are you talking about~"

Seeing that the strange tree had been caught as a black carp, Luo Mu shook his head and looked at the flight schedule in the hall.

Before he could find the flight that Nemo and the others were taking, Sebastian seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He shook the cuffs of his uniform to reveal the edges of his white gloves trimmed at right angles. He raised his wrist, took out a pocket watch from his arms, and his eyes immediately fell on it.

The next second, he took the initiative to say, "It's estimated that it will take another ten minutes before the flight lands. Mr. Luo Mu, Ms. Qi Shu, do you need me to prepare a cup of hot coffee for you?"

"Give me a Coke, with ice, please~!"

Qishu raised his hands high like a student in class, with his wide sleeves that were longer than his hands hanging down, making him look lazy and casual.

Sebastian, who had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, frowned slightly, but suppressed his impulse well and lowered his head and said, "I understand."

"Give me a cup of hot cocoa."

Since Qishu had taken the initiative, Luo Mu didn't want to be polite and asked for a cup of hot cocoa which was very warm in winter.

Sebastian nodded slightly again, saluted the two of them, then turned and walked towards somewhere in the airport.

Luo Mu wasn't sure whether he should buy it or find a place to make it himself.

At least Luo Mu was inclined to believe that Sebastian would buy them. After all, according to him, there were only ten minutes left before Nemo's flight would land. It was hard to imagine that he could make these drinks by hand and return here on time.

But the opponent's efficiency still exceeded Luo Mu's expectations.

The roar of the plane landing was heard, and Sebastian's figure appeared beside the two of them.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I borrowed some equipment from the airport, so it took a little while for me to make it myself."

Holding the tray he had taken from somewhere steadily in his hands, Sebastian handed a cup of hot cocoa and a cup of iced cola to Luo Mu and Qishu respectively.

——However, there were three drinks on the tray, most likely prepared for Nemo, Shinji and Shizuka.

Not to mention that Qishu's cola didn't require much effort, but the hot cocoa in his hand was obviously not instant. It was outrageous. Luo Mu took a sip of the steaming hot cocoa to calm himself down, and the unique fragrance spread in his mouth.

His sight was also fixed on the figures of Nemo, Shinji and Shizuka who were walking out of the gate not far away.

A low-key black stretched sedan shuttled through the roads of Niaoguang City, and the "enthusiastic" voices of three students could be heard.

To be precise, it was Nemo's chattering, Shizuka's occasional words, and Shinji who hardly said a word except for the polite greeting when they met.

Qishu was still immersed in the shock of this car that looked low-key but was actually luxurious.

Looking at the string of zeros displayed in the search bar on his phone, Qishu was sad that he had worked so hard as a host for a year, but the money he earned was not enough to buy a car like this one for Nemo's family.

"Evil capitalist!"

After all, they were in someone else's car, so Qishu could only complain in a low voice.

After Luo Mu and his companions picked up Nemo and the other two at the airport, they, at the invitation of Sebastian - or more precisely, at the strong request of Nemo's father and sister who were far away in the Kalos region - asked Sebastian to "please do me the honor" and go to a famous restaurant in Niangguang City that they had arranged to taste the local specialties.

Incidentally, the strange tree that followed behind also benefited from it.

Somehow on the way, the topic turned to my plan to go to a car dealership to look for a car in the next two days and pick it up in a few days.

After getting off the car, Sebastian took out a business card without saying a word and told Luo Mu that he could pick up the car at a discounted price at the place where Nemo's father often bought cars.

".Even at a discounted price, it's still a luxury car."

The corner of Luo Mu's mouth twitched slightly, but he still accepted the business card with all his heart.

It's nothing, I'm just a little curious. I just want to take a look without buying anything, so there shouldn't be any problem.

The restaurant is located in a very expensive building in Niaoguang City, which is considered one of the city’s landmarks.

It tastes like money, but the portion is a bit small.

It’s okay for a few students who haven’t grown up yet, and Qishu herself doesn’t have a big appetite, as you can tell from her petite body.

Anyway, Luo Mu himself was not full, but he thought he hid it well. However, Sebastian still saw through it and asked the chef to increase the food portions.

The meal was a great success and both the host and the guests enjoyed it very much.

Luo Mu also started talking like a chatterbox, and from Nemo's incessant chatter, he learned about their travel experiences and gains in the Hoenn region over the past month.

Nemo didn't capture a lot of Pokémon from the Hoenn region on this trip. She only captured a ghost-type Pokémon, Nightwatcher, with whom she had a deep connection. She met him several times in a row and experienced a lot of things with him.

The evolved Pokémon of Noctilucent, Noctilucent and Noctilucent, are both very good Pokémon and are generally worth cultivating.

This Nightwatcher is also the first member of Nemo's second team. It can be predicted that Nemo will train more Pokémon and expand the team in the future.

By taming the Night Watcher, Nimo's main goal was naturally achieved perfectly.

Battle Factory, Battle Arena, Battle Dome, Battle Pipeline, Battle Palace, Battle Tower and Battle Pyramid.

She completed all the challenges and received seven golden symbols.

Nemo was lucky. When she challenged Pharaoh God Era for the last battle in the pyramid, the opponent had not yet set out for the Kanto region for rotation, so the Pokémon battle went smoothly.

According to Shinji's description, it was a six-on-six Pokémon battle. Kamiyo even sent out Regirock, one of the legendary giants, but in the end he was still defeated by the iron fist of the fully honed Babutu.

The scene where Kamishiro exclaimed at how talented a young trainer like Neemo was seemed to be still vivid in his mind. When Shinji talked about this, even though his expression was very calm, he couldn't help but show his admiration.

Seeing Nemo, who is almost the same age as him, defeat Kamiyo with his own eyes, Shinji, who already had the goal and obsession of defeating Kamiyo and wanted to make his brother Raiji proud, was overwhelmed with emotion.

As a result, Xiaozhi, who was still arguing with him from time to time, was just child's play.

Currently, Shinji has only tamed a female Snow Boy as his partner, and he himself advocates a concept called "elite system".

First, use your limited energy to train a small number of Pokémon. After training these Pokémon to a certain level, consider training more Pokémon based on experience.

"Don't be like that idiot. He almost captured a full team of Pokémon just after arriving in the Hoenn region."

During the meal, Shinji's expression was quite gnashing of teeth when he mentioned Satoshi.

Not only Pikachu and Crimson Knight, but also the Pokémon that rotate from time to time. That guy seems to be interested in everyone he sees, and he has captured quite a few Pokémon in succession.

Doesn't it cost money to raise Pokémon like Ocarina, Carcharodon, Scylla, and Coaltur?

Shinji, who is currently tightening his belt to attend Grape Academy and train Pokémon, relies entirely on the savings from his brother's travels over the years and the income from building a breeding house. This doesn't make sense.

——I heard that guy is already in debt from two expensive bicycles. Where does he get the money to train so many Pokémon?
Thirty Kentaro, Shinji felt suffocated just thinking about it.

Food, daily necessities, travel expenses, etc., does he come from a wealthy family like Nemo?
Shizuka is similar to Shinji. Apart from the subsidy approved by Yeci for future plans, her current expenses are all spent on the salary she has saved from working as Miss Joy in the past few years.

She is already an adult, and apart from the Bulbasaur that her relatives got from Professor Oak, she doesn't have the nerve to ask her family for money.

After going through a lot of hardships, Shizuka finally captured an armored bird according to Luo Mu's suggestion.

Besides that, she no longer wanted to hope to capture more Pokémon.

You have to wait until you have collected all the badges, achieved good results in the Saiyou Conference, the alliance conference in the Hoenn region, and received valuable bonuses before considering it.

Luo Mu understood the concerns of the two people and even felt the same way.

God knows how I got through the days a year ago when I started from scratch and every day when I opened my eyes, besides training Pokémon, I thought about how to make money.

No matter how utopian the world is, as long as there is the concept of money, there will be a lot of expenses on various things.

After a busy year, most of the savings were spent on training Pokémon. It was only by living frugally that the remaining funds were used to buy farm land in Pingdie Town, and finally settle down.

Fortunately, things are getting better and better now, and I even dare to take a look at the business card that Sebastian gave me.
