...
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Natsu suddenly felt a little familiar.
He remembered slowly.
Acerola!
One of the Alola Region's Island Kahuna in the future, and also the little loli of the Alola Region's Four-Type Ghost Elite during the period of time after the Alliance settled, and perhaps during the journey of the Alola Region's Four-Type Ghost Elite!
Acerola's father is the owner of Marielle's library.
And when Acerola is free, she works part time as an administrator at the library.
A girl who has a close relationship with the current Island Kahuna of Ula'ula Island, Merdan.
It says.
Acerola was able to become the Elite Four, and it was only on Merdan's recommendation that she succeeded in occupying the position.
Natsu's mind quickly flashed information about the girl in front of him.
After being slightly stunned, moving towards her apologetically laughed.
"Sorry, I forgot to mute, I'll be right away."
Then the call is connected.
And it was Shirona's voice that sounded on the other end of the line.
"I listen..."
Natsu interrupted Shirona, half covering his phone and whispered, "I'm in the library now, I'll call you later."
Hearing it in the library, Shirona realized she had lost control of herself.
She immediately said, "Okay."
Then closed.
And Acerola stared at Natsu, her cheeks still bulging, clearly dissatisfied with Natsu's behavior.
"Eevv~~"
At this time.
Eevee, who was sleeping in a chair and curled up in a ball, was also awakened by the sound of the phone.
She lay down for a long time, tossing the gray and soft hair on her body, and letting out a low voice.
With a slight jump, she jumped onto the table.
Licking Natsu's palm affectionately.
"Eevee!"
Acerola saw the beautiful Eevee, her eyes immediately lit up, she immediately forgot about Natsu's phone call in the library. .
Acerola is a girl who really loves Pokemon.
Whenever she has time, she goes to the Aether House to play with the Pokemon living there.
Don't look at her as a child, but in fact her real age is much older than her appearance. When she became the Elite Four, she is eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was similar to her current appearance. .
She's a loli.
If there are some children in the library who like to listen to stories, Acerola will be happy to tell them.
At this time, it should also have good strength.
"Vee?"
Eevee tilted her head, blinked her big eyes, and stared curiously at the little girl with a slight blush on her face, a very excited look.
"Uncle, is this your Eevee?" asked Acerola.
A black line appeared on Natsu's forehead.
Is he similar to a decadent and lazy guy like Merdan?
But Acerola didn't care what Natsu thought, she just said excitedly "Eevee, it's very rare in Alola, I've only seen one in Aether House, But it's not the same color as this one."
Acerola blinked curiously.
The Alola region isn't fully open yet, Eevee is a rarity.
Natsu stroked Eevee's fur gently.
"Vee~~"
Eevee squinted comfortably and lay down on the table absentmindedly.
"So cute." Acerola blushed, and the girl's heart was immediately captured by Eevee.
After thinking for a bit, she called out to the corner of the bookshelf beside her, "Mimikyu!."
Acerola called her Pokemon.
It looks very similar to Pikachu, but with a darker hue, suggesting an overall gray Pokémon.
On a closer look, it looks like someone deliberately scribbled Pikachu on a piece of cloth, with its head tilted, one eye large and one small eye, and a small flower tied to one ear.
But in fact, there are two small holes in the belly of "Pikachu", and the inside is dark.
Mimikyu!
Pokémon of the Ghost Type and Fairy Type!
Its real body, hidden under that Pikachu-style cloth, is visible through two small holes.
And, Mimikyu is from Acerola.
Is Shiny Mimikyu!
Natsu remembers that Mimikyu Acerola is the real Ghost.
"She's Mimikyu, and She's cute, right?"
said Acerola haughtily.
When Eevee saw the Pokemon appear, at first she really thought it was Pikachu, jumping up and down to say hello.
But that was only when she approached her.
Not Pikachu at all.
"Vee!!" (O_O;)
Suddenly, the hairs all over her body stood up, she jumped backwards, and directly thrust into Natsu's arms.
She looked at Mimikyu in slight fright.
Natsu wasn't surprised to see Mimikyu, just curious.
No one knows what Mimikyu looks like under the cloth.
Natsu is familiar with Pokemon like Mimikyu.
The reason is, this type of Pokémon has long occupied the top three spots in the list of Pokémon games.
The combination of Ghost-Type and Fairy-Type Attributes made them extremely valuable.
Most importantly, Mimikyu has the unique Characteristic "Disguise" across all Pokémon which makes them invulnerable to attacks.
Mimikyu is a very unique type of Pokemon.
Natsu rubbed Eevee's head with a smile, "She's Mimikyu, and a kind of Pokémon, Eevee, you're so rude."
"Vee?"
Hearing this, Eevee slowly poked her head out and saw Mimikyu not moving there, and the fear in her heart gradually disappeared.
Crawl back to the table.
"Uncle, do you know Mimikyu?" Acerola was slightly surprised.
It was mostly a coincidence that Natsu wasn't afraid.
Typically, Eevee reactions are the most common.
"cough cough, I'm not a few years older than you." Natsu emphasized.
It's really not that big.
Three or four years at most, that's too far from Uncle's level.
"Uh huh?" Acerola blinked.
She glanced at Natsu up and down.
No matter how she looked at him, it didn't seem like he was only slightly older than her.
So mature.
Meanwhile.
Eevee saw that Mimikyu still wasn't moving, and finally gathered her courage and came to Mimikyu cautiously.
"Ve vee" forced a smile and shouted softly.
Click-
Mimikyu let out a sharp sound.
Then.
Mimikyu's head literally drooped, like a hollow sheet, drooping.
"Veee!!!" (°ー°〃)
'Head! head! head ! . '
This time the Eevee really freaked out.
Tears came out of her eyes.
Stumbling back into Natsu's arms again.
Burying her head directly in his clothes.
Wagging a fluffy tail.
"Mimikyu!"
Acerola couldn't bear to see Mimikyu being so nosy with Eevee.
the the —
Mimikyu immediately raised her head.
This time, however, Eevee refused to look at it again.
"That. That.." Acerola twirled her skirt with her fingers, looking at Natsu meaningfully.
Natsu's fine.
Even though Mimikyu was intimidating to do it like that, he was mentally prepared and accepted it quickly.
Natsu showed a helpless smile and lightly patted Eevee on the back to calm her sobs.
"Vee~vee~"
But to be honest.
Mimikyu really went too far this time.
"I am sorry!"
Acerola immediately moved towards Natsu and bowed ninety degrees.
At the same time, her other hand was still pressing down on Mimikyu's head, barely pressing her directly on the table.
Seeing her sincere apology, Natsu's discomfort lessened greatly.
He waved his hand and said, "It's fine, but your Mimikyu has less control over 'Disguise'."
Acerola straightened up and cradled Mimikyu in her arms.
A little disappointed: "I didn't teach it well, sorry again, we won't bother you anymore."
It says.
Turned around and left.
Acerola really loves Pokémon, be it regular Pokémon or Ghost Type Pokémon.
Just because Ghost Type Pokémon are rarely recognized and loved by others, Acerola cares deeply for these Ghost Type Pokémon, hoping to allow them to gain warmth through himself.
But she can accept it, but that doesn't mean other people can accept it.
So like it or not, every time Mimikyu appears, most people are terrified.
As time goes by, Mimikyu seems to be for Revenge, and the first greeting will always be the same.
"Wait a moment." Natsu stopped her.
"En?"
Acerola's nose and eyes were red, looking very disappointed.
Feeling lost about her own inadequacy.
"Eevv~"
Eevee finally came, seeing Acelura's lost expression, she was dumbfounded.
"Vee."
Eevee jumped out of Natsu's embrace again, walking quickly to the table, in front of Acerula and Mimikyu.
"Vee." Eevee moved towards Mimikyu while making a face.
Mimikyu shuddered at this sight.
Mimikyu: (⊙⊙)
"he he he ya—"
Acerola laughed first.
It wasn't until a few eyes from the library tube fell on her that she finally reacted.
Covering her mouth, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Sit across from Natsu and put Mimikyu on the table.
"Big bro, aren't you afraid of Mimikyu?"
After speaking, she seemed to feel that her question was not clear enough, and added: "This is the real Ghost."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Natsu smiled and shrugged.
Afraid?
You brought a bunch of Mimikyu to me now, how many will I wear believe it or not? Natsu muttered to himself.
This kind of Pokemon is very good.
Either in singles or doubles, or on the field.
Both work pretty well.
Acerola sniffed.
"That's great~~ If only everyone was like big bro, maybe supermarkets could resume operations."
Supermarket?
The old Megamart site?
This is a place worth exploring on Ula'ula Island.
There are lots of Ghost Type Pokemon out there.
Ghost Type Pokemon come to mind.
Natsu suddenly thought of something else.
It seems that on Ula'ula Island, the Imprison also has a very powerful Gengar that is comparable in size to the Totem Pokémon.
It was given somewhere to Imprisoned by Totem from Ula'ula Island before.
Gengar was extremely powerful and possessed extremely terrifying abilities, but he loved to prank very much.
Acerola may become a Ghost-Type Four Elite in the Alola Region in the future, and these Gengars are also inseparable.
However.
With Natsu's current strength, if he ran into that Gengar, if there wasn't a Dragapult, it might be a dispatch.
But this is really a noteworthy point.
The two chatted for a while.
Apart from Eevee and Mimikyu, they slowly get to know each other and play around on the table.
The two gray Pokémon are a perfect match.
"Okay, it's almost time for me to go." Natsu stood up and lightly patted Acerola's head.
Acerola didn't refuse, but instead asked, "I don't know your name, big bro."
Natsu smiled and said, "Yanxia."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Eevee ran into his arms in three or two steps.
"Vee~~"
moved towards Mimikyu on the table while waving her claws.
"My name is Acerola."
Acerola also moved towards Natsu and waved her hand and said her name.
Natsu waved back in response.
At the exit of the library, a middle-aged man in police uniform, kicking off sandals, sunken cheeks and decadent face walked over.
Natsu glanced at him as they passed each other.
And he also glanced at Natsu.
Natsu didn't change his expression, just walked out of the library with a smile.
The middle-aged man was slow. Slowly stopped and looked at Natsu who walked out with a little hesitation.
At this time.
Acerola ran from the mantis.
"Uncle Merdan."
Merdan scratched the back of his head, laughed lazily, still looking at the door.
"What's wrong Uncle?,The one who just left is big bro Yanxia, the one who doesn't hate Ghost, he's a good person." Acerola winked and smiled and introduced.
"Good person?" Merdan repeated silently.
Looking at the empty door again, he didn't take it seriously anymore.
Patted Acerola on the head and said, "How is it? Not slack recently. Right?"
hearing this, Acerola glanced at him angrily, and muttered, "uncle dares to ask me?"
"ah ha ha ha — — Really?" Merdan scratched the back of his head again in embarrassment.
He is notoriously lazy.
"Let's go, today is another day for special training."
"Okay!! Me and Mimikyu are ready!"
Even though Merdan was lazy, he would give Acerola special training once in a while.
This was one of the reasons why she would become the Alola Region's Elite Four in the future.
Natsu, who walked out of the library, slowly suppressed a smile.
The man who had just passed, he knew.
He is Island Kahuna which is now in Ula'ula Island, Merdan Dark Type.
A former Interpol man who has good relations with Team Rocket Boss Giovanni.
However, Natsu didn't talk to him rashly.
Being able to become Interpol and even have a relationship with Giovanni, not looking lazy and sloppy, is certainly not a simple role.
After walking some distance and making sure no one was watching him, Natsu called out to Shirona.
"Hey, Natsu? Didn't I disturb you just now?" Shirona said apologetically from the phone.
"No, I just met an attractive little girl." Natsu said with a smile.
After a brief silence, before Shirona could speak, she asked:
"Shirona, did you call for Milotic?"
For Shirona, Natsu almost knew the reason for that call.
"En. I just heard from Professor Rowan, is that true?"
Shirona was still helping Professor Rowan, the research on egg clusters had reached a more critical stage, so she had been a bit busy recently.
"Yes."
Natsu was sure of this.
"Then"
"I'm not in Sinnoh now, wait for me to come back, maybe in about half a month, when the time comes, I will tell you in detail." he said.
"Oke."
Hang up.
Natsu shoved his hands into his pockets.
quietly moving towards the temporary base.
"Merdan? One of the first undercover agents in the Alliance, a man Giovanni could relate to."
Walking, Natsu took out a special communicator.
After making the call, Natsu said one sentence: "Teacher, I want to know all the information about Merdan."
After such a long time.
At the other end of the communicator came a low voice.
"Oke."
