At this time, seeing Hakuya accept his gift without any refusal, Wallace was also quite satisfied with his "straightforwardness."
And just at this moment, this Sootopolis Gym Leader suddenly received a phone call.
The caller happened to be the Champion Steven mentioned by him just now.
However, it wasn't to catch up, but something seemed to have happened in the Hoenn region recently, urgently needing manpower to investigate and handle.
"What? You ran to Alola to dig stones and can't come back for a short time?!"
"Okay okay... I will go back as soon as possible..."
After hanging up the phone, Wallace rubbed his brows, a few points of helplessness and apology appearing between his brows and eyes.
"Very sorry, originally wanted to invite Hakuya you to a nearby cafe for a drink later, but Hoenn League just has some urgent official business; I have to take a flight back immediately now."
"If Hakuya you have time in the future, feel free to come to Sootopolis City in Hoenn as a guest for fun."
"By then, I will also do my best as a host to treat you well."
Wallace bowed slightly, still looking like the usual elegant and noble Coordinator Master.
And his conversation just now without deliberately avoiding suspicion was also vaguely heard by Hakuya.
Just like the performance in anime and games of previous life, that Champion Steven still soaked in mines digging stones all day long. Now he even ran all the way from Hoenn to Alola, leaving a pile of mess to his good friend Wallace to complete...
However, what Hakuya cared about quite a bit was that he heard words like "Team Magma," "Team Aqua," and "Devon Corporation" at the end.
These keywords were undoubtedly extremely familiar existences to him who played Emerald no less than a dozen times in his previous life.
—In the Pokémon world, every region more or less has corresponding large evil organizations. For example, Team Rocket in the Kanto region, Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region, and Team Magma and Team Aqua in the Hoenn region.
The former was established by Maxie, aiming to expand the land area, eliminate Pokémon to establish an ideal world for humans.
The latter was established by Archie, aiming to expand the ocean area, eliminate humans to establish a dream paradise for Pokémon.
Based on this divergence of concepts, the two formed a confrontation for a considerable time. And to complete their respective goals, they targeted the super-ancient Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre, wanting to control the power of both by finding the Red Orb and Blue Orb respectively. Only finally completely out of control, solved by another super-ancient Pokémon—Rayquaza taking action.
Could it be that the plot of the Hoenn region has officially started?
Shaking his head to throw messy thoughts behind, Hakuya didn't ask Wallace.
Anyway, the awakening war of Groudon and Kyogre would definitely be an epic big event. Looking at this posture, it was just showing some signs now, not yet to the point where the entire Hoenn region was about to be destroyed in the future.
So that Champion Steven continued to soak in the mines of the Alola region unhurriedly now, pushing all work to the hard-working Wallace forced to take the job.
Since so, it's not too late for him to go to the Hoenn region later to take a look.
Hakuya thought for a moment, nodding secretly.
After all, whether those three super-ancient Pokémon, or Team Magma and Team Aqua, he quite wanted to meet them.
"Okay, I will visit if I have time."
"Mmm-hmm."
Watching this Sootopolis Gym Leader leave hurriedly, Hakuya thought about the next arrangement.
With Oleana overseeing the sales building, ordinary small matters didn't need him to handle at all. So staying here was at most just strolling plus being erotic with Miss Secretary later.
Calculating time again, today seemed to be the date Valerie finished making clothes.
—Since receiving Wallace's generous payment, he also had to complete the so-called task of shooting the promotional video.
However, when Hakuya turned around, he noticed that girl with hair combed in Hime cut style, lively and beautiful like an idol, didn't mean to leave at all, instead following closely behind him.
This Lisia girl, who regarded herself as his lifelong rival since the end of the Wallace Cup, not only found here accurately as if investigating him greatly, but now even stopped acting, following openly and blatantly. What is she planning to do?
For a time, Hakuya couldn't help feeling doubtful.
"Lisia, don't you need to go back to Hoenn together?"
Regarding this, Lisia raised her pretty face slightly. A gleam of sly light flashed suddenly in her emerald beautiful eyes.
"Mmm-humph~ I'm not a child, naturally go wherever I want~"
Uncle Wallace going back to handle official business, what does it matter to her, Lisia—
Moreover, she was originally traveling to participate in Contests. Sinnoh and Hoenn are basically the same in the final analysis~
As soon as the voice fell, the girl pressed her jade finger against her lips, cleared her throat, leaned forward and approached Hakuya.
"After all, Mr. Hakuya promised me before, we are lifelong rivals eh~"
At extremely close distance, the girl's eyes were dazzling like emerald gems.
Although standing close enough just now, because of talking, Hakuya didn't look at her appearance like this.
Different from the clothes in the Contest last time, Lisia was no longer in that shawl white dress attire on stage today, but wearing a modified conservative sailor suit.
Fragrant smooth emerald long hair was tied into a bunch by hair accessories falling on the back. Under the Hime cut style was an exquisite soft charming face.
Brows and eyes picturesque, soft skin surpassing snow. Exquisite nose perky, cherry lips rippling.
Although unable to peek at the girl's frost-deceiving snow-surpassing ice crystal jade skin through the dark blue sailor suit, the form-fitting sailor suit also slightly revealed Lisia's graceful figure curves.
—Slightly bulging round delicate young crisp breasts, though green under slender soft waist but also considered perky full voluptuous milk buttocks... and half a section of snowy shimmering calf slightly revealed from under the long pleated skirt.
However, if choosing the most impressive trait from her... probably neither the exquisite face nor the voluptuous calves were within Hakuya's consideration range.
The reason lay in her voice.
Even just ordinary conversation, a voice that would make people fascinated if not careful.
—When opening vermilion lips lightly, the voice was like broken jade falling on a plate, clear mixed with honey-like sweetness. Also like wind chimes hanging from eaves in spring night, ripples spreading when brushed by breeze, seemingly every wisp soaked with the fragrance of moonlight and flower dew.
Feeling the melodious sound knocking on eardrums intermittently, Hakuya couldn't help marveling secretly.
No wonder this girl was crowned with the idol-like title "Lisia." Even in game settings of previous life, Lisia also possessed her own exclusive theme song. Turns out the voice is really too outstanding.
Not noticing the changing expression on Hakuya's face, Lisia leaned closer at this time.
Shining emerald beautiful eyes were dazzling like cat's eye stones, complementing her melodious charming voice.
"To better defeat Mr. Hakuya, following behind Mr. Hakuya to understand your day's schedule, observe how you breed and train Pokémon... figuring out the rival's details, isn't it a very normal thing?!"
Finally, the girl issued the final declaration.
Since losing in the Wallace Cup, Lisia tossed and turned for several days after going back unable to sleep. Thinking for a day and night, finally found the reason—although she investigated Hakuya greatly, she still knew too little.
An excellent rival naturally had to understand the opponent's situation in all aspects. But now how Hakuya trained Pokémon daily, trained for how many hours, what training methods would be adopted... so many questions, she didn't know any, simply didn't look like a rival at all!
Precisely because of this, she decided to stick to Mr. Hakuya during this time!!!
Determined to steal learn Mr. Hakuya's secret of becoming strong, then practice hard, defeating him completely!
"So-called rivals, aren't they supposed to help each other, compare with each other, then progress and become strong together? Mr. Hakuya doesn't need to care about me, just do your own things with peace of mind. I, Lisia, will follow and observe myself."
"..."
Regarding this Lisia girl's overflowing little thoughts, a trace of helplessness appeared on Hakuya's face.
Figuring out his details of becoming strong...
But the key is most of his time, besides taking care of crops on the farm, is being erotic to explode attributes. Basically not many times training Pokémon seriously like other Trainers.
Really following around, then watching him and Gardevoir playing orgies in real-time every day?!
Hakuya, having some headache about the troublesome girl, subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refuse her stalking perverted behavior. But facing Lisia's emerald beautiful eyes glowing with hope, it was hard to refuse straightforwardly.
After sighing, he finally struggled a few times not believing in evil.
"I have to go to the cafe to get customized clothes from a few days ago now, and according to your uncle Wallace's request, shoot the promotional video for Wallace Cup conveniently, not planning to do special training..."
"It doesn't matter ah, balancing work and rest is normal. Before observing training, I can also accompany Mr. Hakuya to do other things... Speaking of which, I'm also very curious how handsome Mr. Hakuya will be wearing that customized clothes. I'm not saying Mr. Hakuya isn't handsome now, just still very curious and want to see..."
Lisia was unaware of the meaning in Hakuya's words, still blinking watery beautiful eyes, chattering.
"But after finishing shooting, I won't travel and train like normal Trainers, but will leave Hearthome City here, return to Hinata Town and continue operating my farm..."
"Eh? Mr. Hakuya leaving so soon... but also completely doesn't matter oh~ Operating a farm sounds great too. Mr. Hakuya definitely takes advantage of farming time to conduct special training for Pokémon... Don't worry, I brought a lot of money with me~ Won't eat and live for free on the farm..."
Lisia was first surprised that Hakuya was leaving after staying in Hearthome City for only a week, then shook her head indifferently, and took out the small wallet carried with her raising her face, as if frantically transferring money to Hakuya like a little rich woman in the next second.
"Then doing farm work isn't an easy thing; I might neglect entertaining you, Lisia..."
"Mr. Ha-Ku-Ya!"
Lisia puffed up her cheeks as if aggrieved. Emerald beautiful eyes were dyed with a layer of thin mist.
"No matter what you say or plan to do later, I will follow together! After all, you are the first lifelong rival I recognized. Ab-Absolutely cannot want to dump me... I'm not a child; Mr. Hakuya doesn't need to entertain me warmly like a guest. I will absolutely not cause you any trouble either..."
If it were another person following around like a piece of sticky candy, unable to shake off or kick away, and chattering non-stop like a little sparrow from time to time, presumably no one could endure it in the end.
But the same scene placed on this girl didn't have that annoying feeling at all.
No other reason, Lisia's entangled appearance at this time only felt like an idol girl with eyes full of only you.
Energetic enough that even if Hakuya frowned and refused, she insisted on skipping around to the side, raising her face with eyelashes curved into crescents. And if not responding and walking fast two steps, she wasn't annoyed at all, instead running to catch up. Ponytail tied smooth like a waterfall bumping in the wind, like a little bird refusing to admit defeat, insisting on following closely and leaning in front of eyes.
Not to mention besides this warm fiery personality like a small sun, the girl's melodious voice entering ears also completely lacked any chattering wordy irritation, only reminding people of locust flower rain blown by wind in late spring, gentle and long, only hoping this voice to be longer, longer.
At this moment, facing this situation and scene.
Hakuya also went from originally wanting to struggle and refuse, to unable to help wanting to tease her deliberately, to finally completely out of tricks.
Such a cute beautiful girl, how could anyone be able to refuse ah—
Hakuya reached out, pressing lightly on the head of the girl wanting to lean close still like an energetic idol.
"Okay okay okay, rest assured, I will never dump you, this rival, in the future."
"Uuu..."
Feeling the warmth between hair strands, Lisia, originally prepared to jump up joyfully after hearing Hakuya's affirmative reply, froze.
Fair snowy cheeks rippled with some blush. White water steam seemed to whistle out from the top of her head. The girl became a steaming engine woo-woo-woo steaming on the spot.
Not only the word "forever" was slightly ambiguous, as if a confession that we want to be together forever in the future, Hakuya's sudden head-patting kill also made this simple green girl lose her composure.
Somewhat abrupt sudden move, but unexpectedly making people very reassured, even vaguely having a few points of throbbing.
Lisia squinted her eyes tremblingly subconsciously, head rubbing lightly in the palm. But just when she recovered and felt ashamed of her action just now almost losing consciousness, Hakuya withdrew his hand, saying seriously.
"Mr. Mr. or something makes me appear too old; I'm not much older than you..."
"Can't Lisia change to a better address?"
"Eh-eh-eh, is that so? Then Onii-chan?"
Pursing lips, the Lisia girl's voice was like snow water just melted in a mountain stream.
