Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Chapter 632 No need to say anything more, just kiss!

"Lizard King, thank you for fighting alongside me all this time!"

Xiaoyun then placed a collar, woven from tranquil incense and supple vines and exuding a serene fragrance, around the Lizard King's neck.

"just!"

The Lizard King raised its head, feeling the reassuring aura, and gently nuzzled Little Cloud with its head.

Serena tied her carefully sewn orange scarf around the long-tailed fox's neck.

The scarf is very finely made, with small flame patterns embroidered on the edges.

The long-tailed flaming fox gently stroked its new gift with its paws, its eyes revealing obvious delight.

It picked up the small wooden staff it always carried and drew a few tiny sparks in the air as a gesture of gratitude.

Ash then took out the special Pokémon snacks he had bought, shaped like a combination of lightning and a Poké Ball, and handed them to Pikachu:

"Here you go, Pikachu! This is a festival special! A super limited edition! Let's keep up the good work together in the future!"

"Pikapi!"

Pikachu happily accepted the snack, which was almost as big as its face, and began to eat it heartily, its eyes squinting with happiness.

It's tomato flavored, that's great.

After exchanging gifts for their Pokémon,

After exchanging gifts for their Pokémon, Xiaoyun turned to Xiaoguang and took out a beautifully packaged little box tied with a silver ribbon from her backpack.

"Xiao Guang, this is for you."

Xiao Guang's eyes widened in surprise, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings:

"This is...when did you..."

She took the box and carefully unwrapped it. When the blue ribbon, like the heart of the ocean, appeared before her eyes, she gasped in surprise.

"Ah! It's that ribbon!"

"Like it?"

Xiaoyun gazed at her tenderly, her eyes filled with affection: "I think it's a lot like the color of your eyes, both are beautiful."

This sudden, straightforward praise filled Xiaoguang's heart with immense joy and emotion. She carefully held the ribbon to her chest and nodded vigorously:

"I love it! I love it so much! Thank you, Xiaoyun!"

Then Xiao Guang carefully unfolded the bow tie, handed it back to Xiao Yun, and turned slightly away from him:

"Could you... help me put it on?"

Xiaoyun was slightly taken aback, then a deeper smile spread across her eyes.

"My pleasure."

He took the ribbon and gently tied it to Xiaoguang's smooth blue hair, carefully adjusting the shape of the bow.

The ribbon was tied, gleaming elegantly under the light, which indeed made Xiaoguang's blue eyes even brighter and more captivating.

Xiao Guang turned around, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile of happiness.

She looked at Xiaoyun, her eyes filled with love and courage. She softly called his name: "Xiaoyun..."

At this point, nothing more needs to be said.

Xiaoyun understood her feelings, and he reached out and gently cupped her cheeks.

It was as if she were the only person left in the whole world.

Xiao Guang closed his eyes, his long eyelashes casting soft shadows beneath them.

She felt Xiaoyun's breath slowly approaching, and then a soft and warm touch, like a butterfly alighting on a petal, landed on her lips.

This kiss was clean and pure, carrying the sentiment that they cherished each other.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, all the surrounding sounds faded away, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats and the heart-stirring tenderness conveyed between their lips.

Four heads peeked out from behind another large tree not far away.

"Wow……!"

Yulijia was so excited she almost jumped up, but luckily Citron covered her mouth in time.

Her face flushed red with excitement, and she said in a low voice:

"They kissed! How romantic! Like a fairy tale!"

Citron's glasses once again reflected a shrewd (or perhaps gossipy) light as he pulled out a small notebook and pen and quickly jotted down notes:

"Hmm... close contact in natural environments helps improve happiness, and this data is very valuable..."

Even the usually impatient Ah Xun was somewhat stunned. He crossed his arms, pursed his lips, but unusually, his eyes showed no impatience, only a slightly awkward envy:

"Tsk... those two guys really get along well..."

Brother Jianwu, you're completely hopeless.

the other side.

Serena and Ash sat side by side on the grass, watching Pikachu and Fennekin chase and play.

As she noticed the development between Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang, a thought kept swirling in her mind.

How can I get closer to Ash in a more natural way?

"Salina! Look over there!"

Ash suddenly pointed excitedly to the sky.

A fierce arrow eagle and Xiaoyun's heterochromatic volcano were engaged in a dazzling friendly match in the night sky, a performance full of theatricality.

The Arrowhawk's wings were ablaze with orange-red flames as it unleashed its Brave Bird Attack.

The Volcarona gracefully spun around, instantly condensing into a scorching dance of fire, skillfully deflecting the Brave Bird's attack.

The collision of flames and flight energy exploded into rings of red and gold against the deep blue night sky, like a grand fireworks display.

"so beautiful……"

Serena followed his gaze and echoed his praise.

This is an excellent opportunity!

She took a deep breath and pretended to be drawn in by the battle in the air, subtly leaning her body slightly toward Ash.

Yes, just like that, pretend to be engrossed in watching, lose your balance, and you can casually lean on Ash's shoulder.

Boom!

Her heart was pounding in her chest, almost audible.

Ash seemed completely unaware of the subtle contact and the turbulent inner thoughts of the girl beside him.

His attention was completely drawn to the battle, and his heart was pounding with excitement.

"Go, Volcarona! Charge with Blink!"

The sweet feeling that had just risen in Serena's heart was instantly shattered by Ash's unromantic words.

She sighed helplessly, but looking at Ash's profile, which shone purely for battle, she couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.

This is Xiao Zhi, the boy she loves, forever full of dreams and passion.

She mustered her courage a second time and decided to be more direct, simply lying down.

Yulijia, who was watching the battle from the bushes in the distance, clenched her fists nervously and muttered to herself:

"Go for it, Serena!"

Ah Xun was getting a little impatient, wishing she could give them a push: "You're taking too long! Just move closer!"

Watching this scene, Sanping couldn't help but sigh softly, "I also wish a girl would treat me like that..."

Just as Serena held her breath, relaxed her body, and was about to complete the action, Ash suddenly stood up.

"Pikachu, let's find a place for a nighttime battle! It would be amazing to battle in this kind of atmosphere!"

With that, Ash rushed off toward the battlefield, and Pikachu immediately followed suit.

Serena's expression froze.

"Ugh……"

The few people watching from a distance also sighed with regret and collectively facepalmed.

"Ash is such a blockhead! Idiot! Fool!"

Yulijia stomped her foot angrily.

Hitron analyzed seriously:

"It seems that for Xiaozhi, conventional romantic signals are extremely inefficient at receiving them, and he needs a more direct way of expressing himself."

Ah Xun crossed his arms and, unusually, said something fair: "But to be honest, it seems that besides Pokémon and battles, that guy really can't see anything else complicated."

"Salina is really... patient."

Serena watched Ash's energetic figure disappear into the distance, smiled helplessly, composed herself, stood up, brushed the grass clippings off her skirt, and followed him.

Although she felt somewhat frustrated, at least she still had a long time and many opportunities.

Moreover, being able to travel with someone like Ash is already an incredibly joyful experience, isn't it?

The festival reached its climax as more and more trainers embraced their Pokémon, laughter and cheers echoing through the night sky.

The light of the Tree of Oath gently shines upon everyone and every Pokémon, as if that ancient blessing is descending.

May all sincere friendships and emotions be as enduring as this giant tree.

Through trials and tribulations, it grows strong and endures, until eternity.

"Still dedicated to all the readers who have made it this far."

Tonight, the starry sky over Biyi City shines especially bright because of vows and bonds.

————————————————————

The warm atmosphere of the Biyi Festival had not yet completely dissipated when Biyi City welcomed another magnificent feast.

Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, Twin Wings Tournament.

Sunlight streamed through the enormous glass dome, illuminating the gleaming performance venue, where the entire audience was present.

Backstage, candidate room.

Xiao Guang gently stroked the flower's stem, and the serene and mysterious eternal flower shimmered with a delicate luster.

Unlike before, after watching Xiaoguang's last performance, Huayedi's longing for the stage finally overcame her social anxiety, and she took the initiative to express her willingness to participate.

"Are you really sure, Flower Leaf Stem?"

Dressed in gorgeous clothes, Xiao Guang squatted down, looked directly into Hua Yedi's eyes, and spoke gently.

"flower!"

Hua Yedi hugged its eternal flower tightly, nodded vigorously, and its eyes shone with a determined light.

I don't like fighting, but I'm okay with performing.

“I’m glad you took this step.”

Xiao Guang gently hugged Hua Ye Di, and only then did she truly win Hua Ye Di's trust and become its rightful trainer.

"Hey Xiaoguang, if Huayedi is happy, why do you have to drag me into it?"

Shemi lay sprawled out on the soft mat next to him, looking utterly lazy, clearly having no interest in participating in the competition.

"This isn't Huayedi's first time on the field, can you lend a hand from the sidelines?"

Xiao Guang leaned closer to Xie Mi and lowered his voice.

"Shami, you know you've always been the most reliable one in our team. This mission is perfect for you!"

Yes, Xie Mi was naturally brought in by Xiao Guang at the last minute to make up the numbers, and also to help Hua Ye Di overcome her social anxiety.

"Oh well, what can I do? I'm the most reliable one."

Shemi complained, but secretly she was pleased, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the flower petal stem.

This team would fall apart without it.

Just then, the door to the candidate room was gently pushed open.

A girl dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with a sharp and edgy demeanor, walked in.

Behind her were two Pokémon: the chubby Slimie, exuding a sweet aura, and the elegant Meowth.

The girl's gaze almost instantly locked onto Xiao Guang, the most beautiful girl in the crowd.

She stepped forward slowly, nodded slightly, and performed a standard maid's bow, but her eyes showed no humility; instead, they were full of scrutiny and challenge.

"You must be Miss Hikari from Sinnoh. I've heard so much about you. My name is Milufi. Nice to meet you."

Huh? There are people here who recognize me?

Xiao Guang paused for a moment, then gracefully extended his hand, a bright smile spreading across his face:

"Hello Mirufei! I'm Xiaoguang, nice to meet you."

Mirufei looked at Xiaoguang's outstretched hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected him to be so direct and cheerful.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently shook hands with Xiaoguang:

“You’re too modest. I’ve studied your past match videos repeatedly, especially your performances in the Sinnoh Grand Festival and the recent Sala Festival.”

"I must say, you are the most powerful and most worthy opponent I have ever encountered."

"Huh? It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"

Xiao Guang blinked. Was this girl here to issue a challenge? And she spoke quite nicely.

She responded with a sincere smile: "To be honest, I'm also a novice in acting, and I would never dare to claim to be the most capable. We're all learning from each other. I look forward to seeing who shines on stage!"

"It is my honor to receive your praise,"

Mi Rufei bowed slightly, and Xiao Guang's gentle nature unconsciously made her tone less imposing.

"Knowing your strength makes me even more eager for our duel today. I will show my skills in this satellite match."

"I hope you can also give it your all, because this may be a hurdle for me to reach a higher stage."

Mirufi's words were polite and well-mannered, but the sharp edge behind them was clearly visible.

This is a formal declaration of war based on thorough understanding.

Xiao Guang nodded seriously, his eyes bright:

“I’m really looking forward to performing with you, Miss Mirufi. Let’s both give it our all.”

After Mirufi left, Serena, who had come with Xiaoguang to participate in the competition, came up and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoguang, what's up with that girl just now? Is she challenging you to a duel?"

Mirufi didn't lower her voice, so almost all the contestants in the candidate room could hear her.

"Hmm... she's a very interesting girl."

Xiao Guang gazed in the direction Mi Rufei had left, a smile playing on his lips.

She didn't dislike Mirufei's straightforward style; in fact, she thought it was quite good, somewhat similar to the arrogant girl Ulala she had met during the glamour contest.

"Okay, suddenly this competition feels really serious. I wish I hadn't come."

Serena sighed after hearing that everything was alright, listlessly straightened the frog's bow tie, then touched the long-tailed fire fox's ears and whispered a few words of advice:

"Have you remembered our procedure? Don't be nervous, just like when we practiced..."

Why did she inexplicably sign up with Xiaoguang back then?

Well, now, facing these experienced performers backstage, especially after witnessing Mirufi's imposing greeting, the pressure is even greater.

"No rush, take your time. What if you like performing?"

Xiao Guang patted Serena on the shoulder to encourage her.

She felt that although Serena had been participating in gym battles, she didn't seem very enthusiastic about it, so she thought she would just treat it as a performance with Serena.

What if they're interested in this?
