"Actually Popplio..."
Hearing Hakuya's exclamation, Valerie lowered her head, also seeing the blue figure popping out from under the table.
As a Fairy-type Gym Leader and Fairy-type fanatic, although Valerie never encountered one in the Kalos region, she still recognized this little guy's name at a glance.
Popplio, one of the starter Pokémon for rookies in the Alola region.
And its final evolution form, Primarina, was loved and pursued by many female Trainers because of the reputation of "Songstress" and graceful beautiful appearance.
So the culprit causing this scene in the cafe is this cute little guy before eyes?
For a time, Hakuya and Valerie both had such a guess in their hearts.
And while Hakuya sized up Popplio, Popplio was also sizing him up.
"Pop-pop~"
Oh my god...
This look, simply handsome to defy heavens.
This figure, hiss... no, drool can't stop.
"Pop-pop~"
Stars seemed to jump in Popplio's eyes. Looking up and down at the black-haired youth before her with a face full of smiles, even the bottom of eyes filled with satisfaction hard to hide—this fit her standard of choosing a Trainer too well. If he could listen to her song completely, that would be even better!!!
Thus, the little guy with extremely strong mobility ignored the throat somewhat dry due to previous performance, running to the microphone under the bar light convergence again, acting as her resident singer.
"This is... preparing to perform singing for us?"
Hakuya crossed his arms, looking at Popplio's action before him thoughtfully.
Although he didn't quite understand why this little guy was so excited after seeing him now, received Aura could roughly judge Popplio had no malice towards him.
—For every Trainer who sincerely loved Pokémon, when facing wild Pokémon with kindness, even not knowing their purpose, giving them due respect was one of the basic etiquettes needed to adhere to. Therefore, whether Lisia and others at the beginning, or Hakuya and Valerie now, none interrupted to stop Popplio's behavior.
"Pop-pop~"
At this moment, pale pink light hit Popplio obliquely, as if draping a layer of pink gauze over her petite cute body.
Accompanied by her selfless singing, a burst of melodious, gentle, soothing music drifted out slowly.
Just as Hakuya was listening entranced, he suddenly felt his shoulder heavy.
Turning his head, he happened to see Valerie leaning on his shoulder, already asleep.
No? How come your Popplio singing voice also has hypnotic effect?
Hakuya twitched the corner of his mouth. He finally knew why the cafe became like this now. Turns out all caused by this little guy singing hypnotic songs.
And the reason why he didn't faint and fall like Valerie and Lisia, in the final analysis, was because of attribute influence.
—After experiencing being dragged into dreamland by Darkrai with [Dark Void] move last time, then bound underground forced to juice, Hakuya equipped an attribute resisting sleepiness the next day, so now immune to the hypnotic effect carried by Popplio's singing voice.
However...
Hakuya looked at Valerie whose face was already graffitied with a big cross, completely losing the previous gentle elegant appearance, then looked at Popplio puffing up cheeks closing the black marker cap, then eyes shining like finding a lifelong bosom friend looking at him. For a time didn't know what to say.
Singing voice with hypnotic effect, taking out a marker to graffiti on face to express dissatisfaction at the slightest disagreement, and the personality of pink cut open is black, gave him an inexplicable strong sense of familiarity.
You Popplio, really not Jigglypuff in disguise?!
...
Lisia had a dream.
In the dream, she no longer just shyly held Hakuya's fingers, but quite boldly and actively held his whole hand.
And just as Lisia prepared to take a step closer taking advantage of the sweet dream, a gentle call pulled her back to reality.
"Mmm..."
"Awake?"
Emerald beautiful eyes reflected the youth's appearance. A moment of daze flashed in Lisia's eyes.
Looking down slightly, the girl saw she was half snuggling in Hakuya's arms at this time, hands also tightly interlocked with him.
—This posture of hands overlapping fingers interlocked was exactly the same as the scene in the dream.
In other words, the move she thought was a dream and boldly made, unexpectedly all real?!
"Ah!"
Thinking of this, plus the warmth constantly coming from the palm making her heart beat thump-thump, Lisia jumped up instantly like a startled kitten.
For this idol girl, although her personality was lively like a sparrow, chattering and clinging to Hakuya seemingly intimate before, but if really overstepping half a point, the shock given to her was no less than shyness at all.
"Ha... Ha... Brother Hakuya!"
Stammering, slender fingertips unconsciously rubbed the dark blue skirt hem wrinkled. Lisia's face showed nervousness visible to anyone.
And fair pure pretty face flushed red instantly. Shy expression also climbed onto her beautiful face conveniently.
"I, I, uh... I'll go wash my face first."
After a flurry of confusion, Lisia suddenly realized she must be in an improper appearance with messy hair and swollen face after waking up. Immediately lowering her head, rushing to the bathroom hurriedly.
Then, the girl saw her face full of black graffiti in front of the mirror.
The miserable scene made her rapid heartbeat stop suddenly in a short time.
"Eh-eh-eh!!!"
...
"Doomed uuu..."
Wiping back and forth with water many times before cleaning the graffiti traces, Lisia covered her face coming back, wailing in a low voice.
Now done. Not only the ugly state of sleepy eyes when just waking up was seen closely, even more embarrassing than that—face graffitied by marker like that, def-definitely ruined her idol girl image in Brother Hakuya's heart!
"Actually not ugly either." Seeing this, Hakuya also smiled and comforted, "Feeling like a little tabby cat just woke up, very cute in my eyes too~"
"Yes, and resting for a while before evening approaching is also a physically and mentally relaxing thing."
Sitting on one side, Valerie covered her sleeve chuckling lightly, echoing like a husband singing and wife following.
"Pop-pop~"
"Mmm... I didn't say Popplio your drawing skill is great; don't be so happy!"
Facing Popplio thinking she was praised and full of pride, Hakuya pinched her cheek unceremoniously, then snatched her proud crime tool from her hand.
At this moment, blushing Lisia finally noticed the little guy in Hakuya's arms.
"Eh, this is the Popplio running into the cafe singing just now?"
The innocent girl didn't know yet that the one who used her face as drawing paper not long ago happened to be this extremely cute-looking Popplio. She held her face, looking at the little guy with a sweet smile rubbing head against Hakuya's chest, exclaiming subconsciously.
"Acting coquettish to Brother Hakuya, really so cute... Did Brother Hakuya already capture it?"
"Probably count as captured; entangled after being forced to listen to a song."
Feeling the touch from chest, Hakuya shook his head helplessly, then revealed.
"But Lisia, don't be deceived by her appearance. Just now Popplio scribbled on your face with a marker..."
"Eh!"
The girl heard this, hurriedly moved the chair back several steps.
