Chapter 630 Zfuqi Dawu

Thanks to the convertible sports car's good view, Luo Mu, Victini and Tailebagos were able to enjoy the scenery of Liuli City along the way.

Looking at the bustling scene, Luo Mu found that Liuli City was very similar to the style of Santorini, a city in a country called Greece before he traveled through time.

At the same time, it was just as Luo Mu expected.

Although he said he was going to pick up a friend, Mikoli's sports car was heading all the way to the deepest part of Liuli City, which is the undeveloped area on the other side of Liuli Volcano.

There are several checkpoints along the way. Although Michaeli can pass through by face scanning as long as he takes off his sunglasses, the strictness of the guards shows that this should be the most sensitive place in Liuli City.

Maybe it contains many secrets of the Hoenn Alliance.

The sports car finally stopped at one end of the mountainside. The road ahead became more difficult to drive on. The off-road vehicle might be able to continue driving, but at least the sports car with a lower chassis had no chance.

After closing the car door and getting out, Mikoli took off his sunglasses, looked around, and said with an expected look on his face: "Sure enough, he hasn't come out yet. It seems that he has encountered the stone he likes again?"

"I'm going to go in and urge him to come out. Do you want to come with me?"

Mikoli asked Luo Mu for his opinion.

Although the elegant self will not lose its beauty whether spotless or covered with dust, it will not have the slightest fear.

But considering that Luo Mu might be reluctant to go into the dusty cave, he also gave the other party the option of waiting for a while.

But would Luo Mu, who had even slept outdoors when traveling, be afraid of a little bit of dust?

This is of course impossible.

He answered without any hesitation: "I'll go in with you."

The cave that Mikoli mentioned was not far from where they got off the car. After walking about a hundred or two hundred meters, they could see the bright entrance of the cave.

The cave leading to the interior of the dormant volcano should be the most popular exploration site for many trainers, explorers, mountaineering enthusiasts, and other people.

But due to restrictions, apart from wild Pokémon, there is no one to be seen here, and there is almost no sign of mining or excavation.

There are quite a few traces of wild Pokémon life and their figures, but most of them are rock-type, steel-type, and ground-type Pokémon.

For some reason, when these Pokémon saw Luo Mu and Mikoli, they had no intention of attacking or blocking the way. Instead, they all hid away at the same time.

This made Victini, who was eager to try, a little disappointed.

It took a lot of effort to master its two moves, but there was absolutely no place to use them!

The space inside the cave is quite spacious. Although there are many passages, Mikoli seems to have a plan in mind. After leading Luo Mu through twists and turns for about ten minutes, a different voice suddenly came from the other end of the passage.

It was a sound similar to the sound of objects hitting each other when a skilled blacksmith forges iron.

Because the scene is confined to this cave, it can be determined that it is the pickaxe that is hitting the rock wall.

Following the sound, Mikoli quickened his pace.

Judging from his performance, the identity of the person in front is already obvious.

After walking a little further, a figure came into view.

The other person was wearing what looked like ordinary mountaineering clothes at first glance and carrying a backpack. From the back, he seemed to be just an ordinary climber.

But when he heard some movement behind him, he stopped digging and turned around.

A handsome profile came into their sight.

The man was probably in his twenties. Even though he looked dusty from digging and living in the cave for several days, the noble aura that radiated from him showed no signs of being concealed.

There was no need for Mikoli to introduce this person, Luo Mu was also clear about his identity.

A wild mountain man, a fanatical fan of stones, a nobleman of Devon Company, and a good friend of Michaeli!
The former league champion of the Hoenn region, Daigo Tsurugi!

No need for Mikoli's reminder.

When he saw Mikoli standing there, Daigo realized that he had been so absorbed in digging that he had forgotten the time. He smiled apologetically and said, "It seems that I accidentally immersed myself in it again. I'm so sorry."

Mikoli, who was already used to it, shook his head and said, "It's okay. How much progress is left? Do you need any help?"

"No, this is the last step."

Daigo lowered his head and swung the last pickaxe, and a round stone still covered in dust and dirt rolled to the ground.

"An Awakening Stone. But compared to most common Awakening Stones, its shape is more rounded and the color is slightly different. More importantly, the energy concentration contained in it is higher, and it can often achieve better results when helping Pokémon evolve!"

Picking up the stone, Daigo talked incessantly about his discoveries during the excavation as if he had seen a favorite treasure.

Even Mikoli couldn't stand Daigo sometimes, not to mention that there was Luo Mu behind him now. As a host, the elegant Mikoli would not leave his guests aside.

"Seeing you're covered in dust, I'll just help you deal with it like I used to."

Mikoli said this, omitting the exaggerated Pokémon appearance moves he had choreographed, and directly released his trump card, Milotic, and gave orders.

“It’s all new.”

Even in the cave, Mikoli's Milotic still exudes its charming charm. Its tail, like a work of art, is placed on Daigo's subconsciously outstretched right hand, and a shocking scene happens.

The soft white light that lit up on Milotic's body seemed to be given life. It began to spread from the area where its tail touched Daigo's right hand. In the blink of an eye, Daigo himself began to glow.

Under the effect of the light, all the dust and dirt were swept away, and even the hair that had not been washed for a few days became shiny as if it had been moisturized.

Even the previously disheveled Daigo was like this, not to mention Mikoli's Milotic, who already had an outstanding temperament.

Luo Mu dares to guarantee that on the stage of any grand competition, Michaeli's Milotic can unconditionally deduct the opponent's points by simply using this move "Refresh"!
This is the strength of the world's number one coordination master.

Mikoli had long been accustomed to handling these matters for Daigo, who was almost ten years older than him. After taking the Milotic back into the Poké Ball, he immediately turned Daigo's attention to Luo Mu.

"Let me introduce you to a friend I met in the Padiya region, Luo Mu."

"He is as powerful as you and me. Even my Mienshao has been defeated by him."

Mikoli introduced him to his friends in a way that "depreciated" himself and elevated Luo Mu.

No, maybe for Mikoli, this is not self-deprecation at all.

Mikoli's two brief sentences immediately made Daigo look at Luo Mu, who had been silent behind Mikoli.

This was the first time he heard such an evaluation from his good friend.

This made Daigo suddenly interested in Luo Mu.

Although it is still not as good as the Awakening Stone in my hand.

With a perfect smile like that of the big brother next door, Daigo extended his hand towards Luo Mu.

"Hello, Luo Mu."

"I'm Daigo Tsuki. As you can see, I'm a stone lover who can be found everywhere. Since you're Mikoli's friend, you're also my friend. Just call me Daigo among friends."

"Hello, Daigo."

After swallowing the word "Mr.", Luo Mu called Daigo by his name. At the same time, Luo Mu noticed that Daigo's hands, which were shaking with his, were quite clean.

This cleanliness does not refer to whether there is dust on it or not, but rather that Daigo is not wearing the rings that Luo Mu remembers.

Do you think it is inconvenient to wear it while digging?

Luo Mu was not quite sure, but that did not prevent him from having a brief self-introduction with Daigo.

Daigo also learned from Luo Mu about his main occupation - farmer.

As if remembering something, Daigo looked at Luo Mu with some confusion, "Come to think of it, I seem to have heard my father mention a farm in Pingdie Town in the Padiya region. The apples produced there are the best apples that surpass the Beishang Special Apples."

"My father has been obsessed with it ever since he tasted a dish made with that apple at a famous restaurant in the Kalos region, but there is no substitute on the market and the farm doesn't have any in stock during the winter."

"Your farm is also in Pingdie Town. How much do you know about it?"

Luo Mu: ⊙(◇)?

No, how did this suddenly get linked to Apple?
Speaking of which, Luo Mu vaguely remembered that one day last month, Zhi Huixing seemed to have mentioned that there was a call from the Hoenn region who wanted to buy some apples at double the price.

However, the farm was not operating at all in the winter. Even though there was storage space in the ice storage, Luo Mu had no intention of selling it and directly refused.

So that was an order from the president of Devon Company?

Facing Daigo's curious gaze, Luo Mu was silent for a few seconds, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I think the farm you are talking about is the one I run."

Daigo & Mikoli: (OO)
After promising to prepare a few boxes of apples for Daigo to take back and "surprise" his father.

Luo Mu, Mikoli and Daigo left the nameless volcanic cave together.

Because of the apple, Luo Mu could sense that Daigo and his relationship had become much closer.

He no longer considered himself as Mikoli's friend, but rather classified himself as one of "his own people".

After leaving the cave, the view suddenly became spacious and bright.

Daigo could also see more clearly the two Pokémon that Luo Mu brought with him.

I don't recognize Victini who is lying on Luo Mu's shoulder.

I don’t recognize Tailebagos, whose eyes were only visible from his shoulder bag.

Daigo thought of them as the specialty Pokémon of the Padia region and didn't delve into them. He just praised them for being very cute.

Victini couldn't stand being praised, and was immediately hooked by just one sentence, and was even willing to share his beloved little round cake with Daigo.

All the way back to the sports car parked on the mountainside, the three were faced with a new problem.

——Mikoli's convertible sports car only has two seats.

Normally, there would be no problem if Mikoli only took Daigo with him, but when Luo Mu was added, it would immediately be overloaded.

Does the extra person have to lie on the hood?

Mikoli wouldn't let that happen, and neither would Daigo himself.

"I'll go down the mountain in my armored bird, and you guys can just drive normally."

Daigo ended the topic directly and raised his hand to release an armored bird with a powerful aura.

If he took the empty road, he might be able to get down the mountain faster than Mikoli and Luo Mu.

Although Luo Mu could also ride Moltres down the mountain by himself, since Daigo did so, he did not refuse and sat directly in the passenger seat and driver's seat of the sports car with Mikoli.

U-turn, speed up——

With the roar of the engine, the sports car drove quickly down the mountain, and Daigo and the Armored Bird had long disappeared from the sight of the two people.

On the way, Luo Mu couldn't help but curiously asked Mikoli's Milotic how he managed to share the "Refresh" that only worked on himself with Daigo.

Mikoli, who was controlling the steering wheel with both hands, looked straight ahead and had no intention of hiding anything from Luo Mu in answering this question.

The corners of his mouth raised a smile, and he said meaningfully: "This is the charm of coordination, the in-depth development of the charm, abilities and moves of Pokémon itself."

"Once you find the secret, you can share the "Refresh" that can remove abnormal conditions and cleanse the body with others like Milotic did."

The sports car driven by Mikoli passed through the white buildings and streets of Liuli City, and soon stopped in front of a huge Western-style palace with a blue roof surrounded by a wide courtyard.

Mikoli took off his sunglasses and explained to Luo Mu beside him: "This is the Liuli Gym, and it is also my residence. Because I took over the championship of the Hoenn regional league, it is currently being run by my master Adam."

"Because of the Mikoli Cup, there are probably very few rooms left in both the hotel and the Pokémon Center. I'm sorry to have you staying here for the next few days."

"It's okay. After all, I just contacted you yesterday."

Luo Mu naturally didn't care where he lived. He looked around and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"Then again, this place is really beautiful."

"Hehe, every tree here is elegant. I personally arranged, designed and planned them. It would be great if they could make you feel the beauty."

Mikoli puffed out his chest with pride, enjoying the sound of Luo Mu praising his aesthetic taste.

"Bimi!"

Victini left Luo Mu's right shoulder and looked at the surrounding environment with some nostalgia.

This place is a bit like the courtyard where it had been before it met Luo Mu.

"Bagogo"

With Luo Mu's encouragement, Tailebagos was taken out of the bag and looked around curiously at the scenes it had never seen before.

".Well, is this what Tailebagos looks like in its entirety?"

Mikoli's gaze fell on Tailebagos, and there was a gleam of admiration in his eyes.

But after a few seconds, as if he remembered something, Mikoli's expression changed slightly.

"not good!"

"Don't let Daigo see Taile Bagos's appearance!"

But Mikoli's reminder was still a step too late, and just above their heads was heard someone's uncontrollable trembling voice.

"Oh oh oh--"

"What a beautiful and dazzling crystal this is! My heart is captivated by it at first sight!"

Daigo, who descended from the sky on an Armored Bird, was now fixed with an intoxicated gaze on Tailebagos, who was showing his full body for the first time in Luo Mu's arms.

".It's so tempting to kiss it!"
