Chapter 122: Gifts for Two Girls

---

"Oh, I almost forgot about this!"

After defeating Ash in Professor Birch's laboratory, Gary did not stay any longer but continued their journey with Rosa and Hilda.

But on their way to Fortree City, Gary suddenly patted his forehead, as if he had finally remembered something.

"What's wrong, Gary?"

Rosa looked at Gary's sudden action and asked curiously.

"Is there something wrong?"

Hilda, standing nearby, also stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Nothing, I just forgot something earlier."

Gary looked at Rosa and Hilda, who came over to check on him, and felt a warm sensation in his heart.

"This feeling is so nice!"

Being cared for by his friends really made Gary feel deeply touched.

"Gary, what did you forget earlier?"

After knowing that Gary was fine, Rosa, who was relieved, focused her attention on the forgotten thing Gary mentioned.

So Rosa, full of curiosity, continued to ask Gary.

"It's a good thing, of course."

Gary did not directly answer Rosa's question but kept it a secret.

"What? You're still keeping it a secret."

Looking at Gary, who was ready to be mysterious, Rosa immediately pouted, then tilted her head to one side, and said playfully.

"Gary, what exactly is it?"

Hilda, who originally didn't care, was also curious at this time, so she followed Rosa and asked Gary.

"It's a gift for you."

Looking at Hilda, who was asking questions, and Rosa, who was still playfully upset with him, Gary didn't continue to hide it and said directly.

"Gift? What gift?"

Rosa, who was sulking on the side, immediately brightened her eyes after hearing the word "gift" mentioned by Gary. She looked at Gary excitedly and asked anxiously, forgetting she was still playfully upset with him.

"Oh, you're not upset anymore?"

Looking at Rosa, who was eager to ask about the gift, Gary also had the intention of teasing her, so he looked at her with a smile.

"Oh, dear Gary, I was wrong just now. Please forgive me, sir!"

After saying that, Rosa stared at Gary with her hazy eyes, hugged Gary's arm, and asked for his forgiveness.

"Hiss."

Being stared at by Rosa's cute eyes, plus the warm touch on his arm, and Rosa's playful look, these things combined directly hit Gary's heart.

"Okay, okay, I forgive you."

Under the combined effect of Rosa's three moves, Gary finally raised his hands and surrendered.

"I told you, Gary will definitely not be able to withstand this move."

After seeing Gary surrender, Rosa also showed a smug smile.

"Tell me, what gift do you want to give us?"

Then, Rosa continued to ask Gary.

After Rosa finished speaking, Hilda also set her sights on Gary.

"Ding ding ding, this is it!"

After speaking, Gary took out two boxes from his bag and handed them to Rosa and Hilda.

"What is this?"

Hilda took the box handed over by Gary, which made her a little confused for a while, so she asked Gary.

"You will know after you open it."

Gary did not answer directly but let Rosa and Hilda open it themselves.

"Let me see what it is, so mysterious."

After seeing Gary still refused to say anything, Rosa muttered, and then directly opened the box in her hand.

"This is..."

After she opened the box and looked at the things inside, she showed a surprised expression.

"Gary, could the things inside be..."

After seeing the things in the box, Rosa looked at Gary with a shocked look.

"What is in it? What surprised you, Rosa?"

After looking at Rosa with a surprised look on her face, Hilda also became curious about what was in the box.

So with curiosity, Hilda immediately opened the box and saw that at this time, two round stones were quietly placed in the box, and there was a gene-like symbol in the center.

"These are... Mega Stones?"

Hilda, who had traveled with Gary for a long time, of course, knew what these two round stones were, so she widened her eyes and showed an incredible look.

"Yes, they're Mega Stones."

Seeing the surprised faces of the two women, Gary was very satisfied: "They are the gifts I gave you."

"Really? You are so kind, Gary!"

After seeing Gary give them such a big gift, Rosa and Hilda were also very happy.

"Is this how you thank me?"

After Gary only received verbal thanks from Rosa and Hilda, he suddenly became unhappy.

After hearing what Gary said, Rosa and Hilda immediately understood what Gary meant. So after the two women looked at each other, they came to both sides of Gary and kissed him on both cheeks.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

After kissing Gary on the cheek, Rosa, who had long been accustomed to it, said with a smile.

On the contrary, Hilda, who was not used to it, had a red cheek after the kiss, just like Rosa at the beginning.

"I am a little satisfied."

Gary felt the warmth on both sides of his cheeks. Although he was somewhat satisfied, he still felt that it was not enough: "But it is still a little short."

After hearing that Gary was still a little dissatisfied, Rosa and Hilda continued to look at each other, and Rosa leaned close to Gary's ear and whispered a few words.

"Is this okay?"

After saying that, Rosa looked at Gary with a smile.

After listening to Rosa's words, Gary's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Satisfied, satisfied!"

"By the way, what are these two Pokémon's Mega Stones?"

After fiddling with the two stones in her hand, Rosa looked up at Gary and asked.

"One of them is the Key Stone, and the other one, Rosa's is the Mega Stone for Aggron, and Hilda's is the Mega Stone for Steelix."

After Gary took a look at Rosa and Hilda, he briefly introduced them.

"Is that so!"

"When you get to the next town, you can use some other items to decorate it."

Gary looked at Rosa and Hilda, who were still fiddling with the Key Stone and Mega Stone, and continued.

"Okay."

Of course, Rosa and Hilda agreed to this little thing.

"Then let's continue on our way!"

"Okay!"

After giving the gifts, Gary, Rosa, and Hilda continued to move towards Fortree City.
