Chapter 397: Complicated and Confusing
This pressure hindered "their" continued exploration, and at the same time, made the two young people, experiencing intimacy for the first time, release their lips.
Feeling the position of his hand, Hikaru's old face turned completely red, and then he discreetly withdrew it from below.
The girl's face became even more flushed, like a long-brewing wine-red, making one feel dizzy.
But just as his hand was about to withdraw, a slender, smooth little hand suddenly gripped his wrist.
"Want to touch?"
Gulp...
A single sentence directly made Hikaru's blood boil. Looking at the charming girl before him, he could even hear his own breathing.
But he shook his head, "Forget it."
He was afraid of eating her.
Literally "eating."
"Hee hee..."
Sakura (Xiao Ye) smiled brightly. She certainly knew what Hikaru was worried about, but the more it was like this, the happier she became. Her thighs directly sat on Hikaru's lap, making the latter cry out in his heart.
But he couldn't say anything. Unable to resist, he straightened Sakura's (Xiao Ye) posture, "Don't move..."
"Oh..."
Sakura (Xiao Ye) also seemed to sense something was off and obediently sat still.
The atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward.
After a long while, Sakura (Xiao Ye) finally said cautiously, "How about... I get down?"
"Mhm..."
So, Sakura (Xiao Ye) got down from his embrace, feeling as if it were still a dream. And suddenly remembering her brother's senior sister, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She leaned against his shoulder, deliberated for a moment, "Bro..."
"Hmm?"
Hikaru, having waited for a long time without any follow-up, could only ask first, "What's wrong?"
"Bro... then what about the senior sister you like?"
Sakura (Xiao Ye) curled up a little. She didn't know if she counted as a latecomer. After all, during the three years she was absent from Mizuki City, she had no contact with Hikaru.
She didn't know about his life, and that senior sister clearly seemed very familiar with him. Moreover, at that speech given by outstanding students returning to Mizuki No. 3 Middle School,
Sakura (Xiao Ye) had seen with her own eyes that senior sister's blatant yet subtle confession.
"...Don't talk nonsense..."
Hikaru placed his hand on her head, her beautiful hair slipping through his fingers. He wasn't good at lying, especially to Sakura (Xiao Ye).
To say he had never had feelings for the senior sister, that would definitely be a lie.
But that was all in the past...
"What do you mean, don't talk nonsense..." Sakura (Xiao Ye) suddenly looked at Hikaru with utmost seriousness. "Whether you like her or not, I don't know, but that senior sister definitely likes you too, and very much."
"Senior Sister told me that you saw her body on the snow mountain!"
"This..." Hikaru was just about to explain when Sakura (Xiao Ye) covered his mouth with her hand, "No need to explain. Liking is liking."
"Senior Sister is very good to you. If you really like her... if you like her..."
As she spoke, Sakura's (Xiao Ye) emotions clearly became agitated, tears welling up in her eyes, "If you really like her, you can be together too..."
"In short, you can't be like Uncle Ye Ming, just disappearing quietly by yourself!"
The emotional point had been suppressed here.
The precedent was right before her. She was afraid that the future Hikaru would also be like that Realm Guardian Ye Ming from the secret realm, finding an excuse to disappear forever.
Hikaru's body trembled.
Looking at the somewhat distraught Sakura (Xiao Ye), he pulled her into his embrace, "Don't worry, I won't..."
...
...
Wind City.
As a city in Huaxia where Legendary Pokémon had appeared, and more than one at that, besides its thriving tourism industry, it was also a favorite haunt of many Flying-type Pokémon.
Because here, you could encounter wind currents of various intensities.
The strong winds of the canyons, the updrafts of the stone forests, the gentle breezes by the sea...
Apart from the battles between Kyogre and Groudon, this place was also frequently visited by another Legendary Pokémon.
That was the God of Ocean Currents—Lugia.
The climate here, to explain it with science might be too metaphysical, but in terms of Pokémon studies, it was very reasonable.
Most of the wind currents existed because it was there.
Because of its existence, humans had built a large number of wind turbines in the gentle breeze areas by the sea to supply energy for the towns.
Unfortunately, no one knew when it would come.
On the streets.
Even here, thousands of kilometers away from the capital, discussions about the Youth League could be heard.
After all, this year's Youth League was truly too interesting.
Reversals, changes, Elite Four level Pokémon battles that were rare in previous years, appeared so frequently this year.
"Did you see it? Hikaru's Charizard's Mega Evolution was so incredibly cool!"
"Definitely cool! Hmm? Wait, Charizard Mega Evolution? You fake fan, the one that Mega Evolved was clearly Gardevoir!"
"It was Lucario!"
...
A few elementary school students walked past in a group. A girl leaning against the seaside railing whistled towards the sky, and a Togekiss quickly appeared before her.
A special custom of Wind City allowed Flying-type Pokémon to fly in certain areas.
"Toge~"
Togekiss affectionately nuzzled its trainer's hand.
"It's about time too... Should I go find him?"
Looking at the distant sky, Xue Nai suddenly felt a little regretful about her decision.
Preliminaries, main tournament...
Such a long time.
Her junior brother, what kind of development would he have with his childhood sweetheart?
But his light was shining ever brighter.
So bright that all the young trainers in Huaxia were overshadowed by him.
Such strength, Xue Nai had already clearly recognized that in this aspect, she could never catch up to him.
But liking someone was inherently unreasonable.
In relationships, reason is needed, but reason isn't the most important thing. It's not like a school teacher giving a lesson, all pedantic talk day in and day out.
Mom was right.
When chasing a boy, you have to take the initiative!
Even if she heard an "impossible" from his lips, she wouldn't give up!
"Let's go, we'll go find him."
Xue Nai brushed aside the strands of hair blown by the wind, a bright smile on her face.
Several months had passed.
Her silver hair had already grown long again, reaching her waist.
"Toge?"
Togekiss asked for direction doubtfully. After getting an answer, it soared upwards...
...
...
The third round of matches passed quickly.
Before the fourth round began, a few amusing things happened.
That is, the few Sakura Country trainers who had arrived in Huaxia so aggressively, actually collectively fled during this fourth round...
Perhaps they were afraid that if Hikaru was matched against them, he would take away their Pokémon again?
So, for this fourth round, only the last 14 people remained.
Looking around, most of them were acquaintances.
With the departure of the three Sakura Country contestants,
Everyone almost tacitly agreed that this year's champion was already Hikaru's.
However, this news was soon shattered by a Mega Evolved Metagross.
Making the once stable championship become complicated and confusing again.
