Chapter 399: Absol
Xue Nai was just about to refuse when Sakura (Xiao Ye) took her hand and led her towards the room.
Throughout the entire process, Hikaru wanted to speak several times, but the words, having reached his lips, remained unsaid.
Arriving at the door, Sakura (Xiao Ye) called out, "Bro, remember to call us when the food is ready, okay? I'll prepare the accommodation for Senior Sister."
Then the door closed, leaving only Hikaru at the entrance.
He sighed.
He didn't know what the two girls were going to talk about. Although he could sense it with his Aura power, doing so would also be discovered by Sakura (Xiao Ye). He could only return to his own room and prepare the meal.
...
Inside the room,
"Senior Sister, wait a moment, okay?"
Sakura (Xiao Ye) opened the door to a living room, then skillfully put on the quilt cover and made the bed, chattering somewhat, "The bed is a bit small, Senior Sister will have to make do a little. As for meals, I usually eat what Bro cooks. Sometimes when he's very busy, I have to cook myself. Bro's cooking is still very delicious..."
And Xue Nai, beside her, watching Ye Qingxue (Sakura) actually preparing a place for her to stay, felt even more bewildered.
She had originally thought Ye Qingxue (Sakura) had only invited her over to clarify her stance.
After all, the two of them were already living next door to each other.
This was actually understandable; after all, during the High School League, she had done the same.
But Xue Nai truly didn't understand her current actions.
She cautiously asked, "Um...?"
"Wait a moment, Senior Sister. Let me finish tidying these up."
Xue Nai had no choice but to wait for Ye Qingxue (Sakura) to finish tidying the room.
"Alright, let's begin."
Sakura (Xiao Ye) clapped her hands, "Sit."
The two sat on the bed.
Sakura (Xiao Ye) spoke first, "Since it's a tacit understanding, there's no need to be secretive. Senior Sister should also be a woman who dares to love and dare to hate. You like Bro, right?"
"It's not surprising that junior sister can see it. But what's the point of saying this now?"
A shadow passed over Xue Nai's eyes. If their previous interactions, plus living next door, could still be explained by them being childhood sweethearts, then from the moment Ye Qingxue (Sakura) asked this question, their relationship was almost confirmed.
Sakura (Xiao Ye) spoke the words she had long rehearsed in her heart, "How could it be meaningless? If you like him, then pursue him. You can see that Bro is also very interested in you, right?" Her heart suddenly felt empty.
She had held these words in her heart for a long time, and had struggled with them for a long time.
But when she saw Hikaru avoiding Xue Nai's gaze today, Sakura (Xiao Ye) knew it was better to say it out loud.
Although in this emotional game, Sakura (Xiao Ye) felt her chances of winning were over 90%, she didn't want to bear even that remaining 10% risk.
"Saying this now, is junior sister mocking me? Mocking me for overestimating myself during the High School League? If I pursue him, then what about you..."
Xue Nai gave a bitter smile.
Having been strong since childhood, she knew that at this moment, in front of her rival Ye Qingxue (Sakura), she absolutely couldn't cry. Otherwise, wouldn't she just be making a fool of herself for her to see?
But Ye Qingxue's (Sakura) next words made her defenses crumble.
"I don't mind. As long as you don't mind... you can absolutely continue to pursue Bro. I won't hinder you in the middle, but it still depends on whether you yourself are willing..."
"If you are unwilling, then I beg you, please don't appear in Bro's life anymore."
Although it was said that with a tacit understanding, one shouldn't be secretive, Sakura (Xiao Ye) still found it hard to actually say such words.
And Xue Nai was also greatly shocked, her mind instantly a mess, her beautiful eyes wide as she stared at Ye Qingxue (Sakura).
Her gaze held a trace of pleading. She said she didn't mind, but how could Sakura (Xiao Ye) truly not mind? She was just convincing herself that she didn't mind.
Everyone knows that with childhood toys, what belongs solely to oneself is the best.
This sentence gave Xue Nai a huge shock.
But what echoed more in Xue Nai's mind was the latter sentence, "If you are unwilling, then I beg you, please don't appear in Bro's life anymore."
...
Hikaru called the two of them at mealtime as promised.
Without using his Aura, he had no idea what the two had discussed inside.
He only knew that when they came out, their expressions were actually very harmonious.
Throughout the meal, the two girls were a bit reserved at first, but gradually they chatted more freely. And their topics, besides what girls usually talk about, also included Hikaru's matches, or some private topics. Hikaru, on the other hand, became the most uncomfortable one. He couldn't get a word in, just buried his head and ate, planning to hide in the training house for a few days after finishing the meal, which could also be considered spending some time with his Pokémon.
This way, he could get some peace and quiet.
Until...
Xue Nai called out to him,
"Junior Brother?"
"Hmm?"
Hikaru came back to his senses and replied, "What's wrong?"
"About that Mega Evolution and Bond Evolution, do you know which of my Pokémon can undergo them?"
Xue Nai might not understand Hikaru that well, but she knew their current relationship was a bit stiff. Based on her understanding of Hikaru, ordinary topics might not break this stiffness.
But if she asked Hikaru for help regarding Pokémon, he would definitely help.
"...Your Pokémon?"
Indeed.
Hikaru thought about his senior sister's Pokémon and said without hesitation, "Mega Evolution, Bond Evolution...."
After snapping back to reality, he realized that none of his senior sister's Pokémon seemed to have any hope of Mega Evolution...
And her Greninja also had the ordinary Torrent ability.
He looked at Sakura (Xiao Ye).
Sakura (Xiao Ye) blinked, "What's wrong? None of her Pokémon can Mega Evolve?"
Hikaru shook his head, "From what I know of Senior Sister's Pokémon, none of them can Mega Evolve."
"Is that so..."
Xue Nai's spirits didn't fall. She continued to ask, "Then what about this child?"
She took out a Poké Ball and tapped it lightly.
Out came a Pokémon with a horn like a crescent moon on its head, its fur entirely white, and its eyes crimson.
The Disaster Pokémon—Absol...
It is rumored that when Absol appears, disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis are sure to occur in the vicinity.
This was a conclusion drawn from the mere few hundred years of Pokémon History, hence its title as the Disaster Pokémon.
But in reality, Absol's appearance was merely to warn humans or Pokémon that a disaster was about to occur nearby.
It could entirely be thought of in a positive light.
"Absol, on the other hand... does have Mega Evolution."
Hikaru's eyes lit up.
A Pokémon like Absol was not common. He immediately used his Eye of Scrutiny.
