Chapter 551: Not That Middle School Boy (6K)

Although he was startled, after a closer look, Luo Mu found that the boy did not seem to be in a good condition.

Dry lips and pale face.

A soft towel soaked in cold water and wrung out was placed on the forehead.

As if he felt a little cold all over, the boy curled up in the blanket like a shrimp.

This symptom is obviously a symptom of fever.

Luo Mu frowned slightly and was about to return to the bedroom to look for the medicine he had prepared in the suitcase, but he heard the sound of a door opening and closing from the entrance.

Turning around, I saw Zhi Huixing and Roentgen Cat, with some dew on their shoulders, and the basket in Zhi Huixing's hand was filled with a lot of herbs.

Through learning from Miss Joy from Pingdie Town, Luo Mu has made a lot of progress in identifying herbs. Although he cannot smell them, he can roughly identify those herbs that are more or less useful in treating fever symptoms.

Dispel external evil, clear away heat and detoxify.

Considering the obvious rain outside the window when he got up, Luo Mu immediately understood why the boy had a fever.

If you say so—

Although Luo Mu had already deduced the boy's origins, Zhi Huixing still explained to Luo Mu why there was suddenly one more person in the villa after putting down the herbs.

It was probably late last night and it was raining heavily outside.

It was suddenly awakened by Lingyouma. When it was taken outside, it saw the young man who was taking shelter from the rain under the eaves of a villa. He was weak due to the cold air entering his body due to the rain, and fell into a coma and fever.

Zhi Huixing would naturally not turn a blind eye to this situation. He directly chose to bring the boy into the villa, gave him a hot bath even though he was soaked through, dried his body, and then changed him into a set of Luo Mu's pajamas which were a bit too big for him.

After all the trouble, it was almost dawn.

Seeing that the rain had stopped, Zhihuixing called the Roentgen cat, who had good eyesight, to go to the nearby jungle to collect some healing herbs, preparing to make medicine for the boy.

After listening to Zhi Huixing's explanation, which was almost exactly the same as Luo Mu's guess, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you prepare it too."

With Luo Mu's assistance, Zhi Huixing soon poured the special medicine made from a mixture of several herbs in the bowl into the unconscious boy's mouth.

The special medicine took effect quickly. Within just a dozen minutes, the boy's condition had obviously improved a lot.

Seeing this, Luo Mu, who thought that he would wake up soon, was not idle either. He ran to the kitchen of the villa to prepare some light meals.

As for the idea of ​​heading to a nearby resort hotel for a quick meal this morning, that was naturally canceled for the time being.

While Luo Mu was preparing breakfast, Milotic, the Eevee sisters, Uruk-O and Dragonite woke up one after another. Even Swampert, who had been wandering outside all night, came back before dinner time.

They all showed considerable curiosity about the boy's existence.

It was only because of the reminder of the Roentgen cat who was guarding nearby that the sleeping boy was not disturbed and he just watched curiously from the side.

When Gladion regained consciousness, he subconsciously rubbed his swollen temples and opened his eyes, and he looked directly into Swampert's eyes, which looked a little "wise" outside of combat.

"Lagu?" (Awake?)
Swampert blinked and gave the boy a smile that he thought was kind.

".!?"

Just by looking at its appearance, which was more robust than its peers and inexplicably made people feel pressured, Gladion was still frightened and almost fell off the sofa.

Fortunately, Roentgen Cat and Minus helped, so nothing happened.

".Thanks."

Gladion, who subconsciously thanked politely, looked at the surrounding environment in confusion. He stared at Uruk-O, the Eevee sisters, Dragonite and Dragonite leader who were watching on the sidelines. No one dared to act rashly for a moment.

Until Gladion suddenly realized something was wrong, and his eyes fell on the hand that was supposed to be holding the commemorative ball.

At this moment, there is nothing there.

Gladion was startled, his fingers unconsciously flexing and opening, as if to confirm the touch on his hand before he passed out.

After he was completely sure that the memorial ball had disappeared, his expression changed, and he sat up abruptly. His eyes searched around anxiously, and his slightly hoarse voice due to illness rang out.

"Memorial ball, where is my commemorative ball——"

The noise here naturally alarmed Luo Mu in the kitchen and Zhi Huixing who was helping.

"What are you arguing about?"

Wearing thick heat-insulating gloves, Luo Mu walked out of the kitchen carrying a steaming casserole. He looked towards the living room and saw Gladion, who looked anxious. He raised his eyebrows.

"You woke up pretty quickly. It seems you have a pretty good physique."

Gladion had good observation skills and immediately realized that this should be the villa, and he was taken to the house for treatment by Luo Mu who lived there.

Gladion asked in an anxious but polite voice: "Thank you for saving me. May I ask if you have seen a white commemorative ball? It is very important to me!"

"Memorial ball?"

Luo Mu looked at the Zhihuixing monkey walking out behind him with confusion, asking it with his eyes whether it had seen anything.

Zhi Huixing nodded slightly, waved the feather fan in his hand, and used his telekinesis to grab the commemorative ball and two other Poké Balls that were quietly placed on the table a little distance away, and controlled the balls to float towards Gladion.

In order to avoid Gladion's misunderstanding, Zhihuixing also explained through telepathy: "You let go of your hand after you fell unconscious due to the fever, and I put it together with the two Poké Balls in the clothes I changed from you."

"Telepathy!?"

When Gladion heard Zhihuixing's voice, he was stunned at first, then reacted quickly.

He had learned it.

Some gifted Pokémon are born with telepathy, while others acquire it later in life. But the common point is that they can communicate with humans, just like the Solitaire in front of us.

Gladion, who had figured out the situation, quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too excited."

"It's okay. It seems that there is a very important companion of yours in the Poké Ball." Putting down the casserole in front of Gladion, Luo Mu corrected with a smile: "Also, it wasn't me who helped you. It was Chihui, Roentgen and -"

Luo Mu paused, looked into a shadow, and urged.

"Lingyouma, you found him, don't you plan to come out?"

The shadow near the sofa squirmed for a while, and a cold breath spread in the living room, and a ghost horse with a figure as dark as the night appeared.

"Lingyou. Horse?"

Gladion stared with wide eyes, looking at the spirit horse that he knew nothing about and had no memory at all, and was shocked.

It might be a little late to say this now, but when he saw Ponyta, he realized that the quality of the Pokémon surrounding this living room was quite high, and many of them were completely unfamiliar to him.

This resident, who looked only a few years older than himself, was obviously a very powerful trainer!
A hint of excitement flashed in Gladion's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

It would be fine if someone else helped me, but now that I am penniless, I still want to ask for more from them -

It's really too shameless.

After calming down, Gladion first thanked the spirit horse who found him, then sat down on the sofa carefully and awkwardly, twisting his fingers behind his back.

".Well, I probably won't be paid enough to thank you guys."

After all, he was a young master who had been living a life of luxury since childhood. When Gladion said this, he didn't know how much courage he must have mustered. Even his fair face, which he inherited from his mother, almost turned red.

"?"

Unexpectedly, the blond boy would mention the reward, and an obvious question mark popped up in Luo Mu's head.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just a small thing, why do I need your reward?"

"Compared to these trivial matters, are you hungry? I just prepared some porridge for breakfast. Would you like to try it?"

"While we eat, we can just talk about your affairs slowly."

When Luo Mu's voice fell, Gladion noticed the steaming casserole in front of him.

The aroma of nutritious porridge followed the hot air into his nostrils, immediately arousing his appetite.

Gladion was a little surprised. He wondered if it was because he was still running a fever, but he, who usually only liked meat, was actually tempted by the light porridge.

He swallowed immediately.

But at this time Luo Mu said: "By the way, I also steamed a few steamed buns, with both meat and vegetable fillings. Which one do you want, or do you want both?"

"But I personally suggest that you eat lighter, so you can get better faster."

"Just meat buns"

Gladion said reservedly.

"Row."

Luo Mu nodded without surprise. Anyway, he had specially made the meat filling less greasy when preparing it. The special medicine he and Zhi Huixing prepared also seemed to be effective, so it wouldn't hurt to let the boy eat some.

After Luo Mu brought the buns to the Roentgen cats, he sat at the dining table to taste his own portion and wanted to find something to talk about.

Gladion seemed to sense something, and stopped eating voraciously but politely, and whispered, "My family tells us not to talk while eating or sleeping."

Luo Mu's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he laughed and said, "Okay, then we'll talk after you finish eating."

Although some of it can be seen from various traces.

But judging from the boy's appearance, he is indeed a child from a wealthy family, just like Nemo, except that Nemo's family dotes on her and there are not too many restrictions on her in terms of etiquette.

After a hearty meal.

Zhi Huixing volunteered to take over the task of washing the dishes. Luo Mu prepared two glasses of boiled water and placed them in front of himself and the boy, then said, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Luo Mu, from the Padia region. I just came to the Alola region for vacation yesterday."

".Padia region."

Gladion repeated it in a voice that only he could hear. Then, he introduced himself in a serious tone: "Hello, Mr. Luo Mu, I am Gladion."

"As you can see, I chose to leave home for some reason, and I didn't bring any cash with me, so I can't prepare enough compensation for you."

"What are you talking about now? Wait, what's your name?"

Luo Mu shook his head helplessly, then immediately reacted, widened his eyes and asked.

It seemed that he didn't expect Luo Mu to react like this. He didn't look like an ordinary rich boy at all. Gladion said weakly, "Gladion, I'm Gladion."

At the same time, Gladion was a little flustered, thinking that he had only reported his name and said nothing else. It was impossible that Mr. Luo Mu was an acquaintance of Zaobo?
Regardless of whether Luo Mu and Zaobo are on the same side, he is indeed a little surprised now.

Shit, Lingyouma found me a brother-in-law (crossed out) and brought him home! ?
Of course he knew Gladion.

He is nicknamed "Mother-in-law" and is loved by some people, but he is also controversial. He is the son of Lusamine, whose personality is very different between the game and animation versions.

Liliae's brother is sought after by Pokémon fans, and the price of the PTCG trading card "Go Liliae" has been driven up to the sky.

He is also Ash's strongest rival in the Alola region in the future, and a powerful trainer who competes with Ash for the first Alola champion.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

No matter how he looked at the Gladion in front of him, it seemed like something was missing.

After he thought for several seconds, he discovered the discord.

Correct!
The Gladion in front of him was neither aloof nor immature, he was just an ordinary and polite young man from a rich family!

Moreover, looking at the suit of Gladion that Zhihuixing hung outside, it didn't look like the non-mainstream style in animations and games. The hairstyle was normal, and there were no fancy accessories on the ears.

Just now he said that he ran away from home. Luo Mu remembered that in the animation of Sun and Moon, it seemed that it was mentioned that Gladion had always been running away from home.

If that's the case, then the commemorative ball that he values ​​so much could be Little Arceus, attribute: Sky.Silver companion beast?
The corners of Luo Mu's mouth twitched slightly. For a moment, he didn't know how to evaluate whether he was lucky or unlucky to encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived in the Alola region.

Although his emotions were fluctuating wildly, Luo Mu maintained his original expression on the surface and communicated with Gladion patiently.

The focus of the communication was mainly on the reason why Gladion ran away from home.

At first Gladion looked embarrassed, and it was obvious that he didn't want to mention why he ran away from home.

Even though Luo Mu helped him, the young man was still more or less wary of the outside world.

But soon, Gladion's heart was conquered by the patient Luo Mu. After some hesitation, he told him the reason why he ran away from home.

"I want the attribute: Sky.Silver companion war beast to no longer be imprisoned, and--"

"I want to become stronger."

Gladion clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.

The same feeling of powerlessness and regret of not being able to do anything as I did three and a half years ago.

He never wanted to experience it again.

In the past few years, he has been getting stronger through his own efforts, until he learned that the Silver Companion War Beast who saved Liliae was restrained and imprisoned by Zaobo.

Gladion could no longer suppress his anger. He knew it was useless to tell his mother, the chairman of the Ether Foundation, so he took the commemorative ball of the Silver Companion Beast away in a fit of rage. Then he got caught in the rain and caught a fever, and was discovered by the Spirit Horse.

If there was anything else he wanted to do besides restoring the Silver Beast's freedom, it would be to become stronger.

He is strong enough to bring SilverBeast with him openly, find a way to solve and cure Lillie's fear of Pokémon, and find his father who fell into the Ultra Cave and disappeared, or even died.

Thinking of this, Gladion's eyes became even more determined.

Luo Mu, who had been paying attention to Gladion's expression, was relieved when he saw his look.

What? Gladion, who could say "I want to become stronger" in a serious manner, is still the Gladion in his impression.

But compared to him in the animation, who had obviously been away from home for a long time and had been self-reliant for a while, the current Gladion is still an ordinary rich young man who has no worries about food and clothing in all aspects, but is just burdened with some things.

Luo Mu's gaze fell on his shoulder bag hanging on the entrance not far away, where a few photos were quietly placed.

In fact, when Luo Mu heard Gladion introduce himself, he considered giving the photo to him.

But after thinking about it, it seemed difficult to explain how he knew Gladion was Morn's son, so he gave up the idea.

Besides, Gladion is still a patient, so it’s not good to be too excited.

It would be better to wait until Gladion mentions Moon himself, and then cleverly say, "I also know a person named Moon, and this is a photo of us together." This is a more appropriate way to give the photo to Gladion.

After understanding the motivation behind Gladion's running away from home, Luo Mu stopped asking questions, so as not to make Gladion nervous and cause his illness to relapse.

Luo Mu directly arranged for him to recuperate in an empty bedroom. No matter what he wanted to do, he could do it after he recovered from his illness.

When others showed kindness to him, Gladion obviously found it difficult to refuse, and he reluctantly accepted Luo Mu's kindness.

After dinner, I felt sleepy again.

Gladion remembered that butler James once said that sleep is an important behavior for human self-repair. At this time, he should follow Luo Mu's advice and wait until the fever subsides before thinking about becoming stronger and having the silver companion beast.

Covered with a thin blanket, Gladion fell into a deep sleep after his body became warm after drinking the nutritious porridge.

Outside.

"Then please stay here and look after him." Luo Mu said to Zhi Huixing.

"Please leave it to me, Master."

Zhi Huixing nodded slightly and took the job.

Today was not the interview time scheduled with the Pokémon Chef. Apart from some particularly important preparations for this trip, it had nothing else to do. It had originally planned to stay in the villa, just to take care of one more person.

After talking to Zhihuixing, Luo Mu felt relieved to put the Xenocupants back into the Poké Ball. Yesterday was basically a whole day of play, so it was time to get down to business today.

As for Gladion, I'll wait and see after I come back.

Originally, Luo Mu's idea was to find someone to connect him with Lusamine, and then find a way to give the photos to her.

Now it seems that it can be handed over directly to Gladion.

When Luo Mu discovered that Gladion's growth trajectory was consistent with that in the animation, he felt a little relieved.

It seems that their family is most likely the more "friendly" characters in the animation, especially Gladion's mother Lusamine.

You know, Lusamine in the game can only be described as twisted and paranoid. She loves Pokémon to the point of fanaticism and wants to collect all Pokémon. She even uses live freezing technology to preserve her favorite Pokémon as exhibits in her private mansion.

Just thinking about having to come into contact with such a person, Luo Mu felt his hair stand on end.

Fortunately, this Lusamine is much more normal.

As for whether the actions he was planning to take would interfere with the original plot and cause drastic changes in the fate of several people, Luo Mu was not worried.

After the incident that reunited Citron and Luke Cat ahead of time, he became clear about one thing.

Even if his appearance changed some things, as long as the essence of those people was there, they would still become better in their own way in places that Luo Mu couldn't see.

Even though his actions allowed the Gladion family to reunite earlier than expected, Gladion, Liliae, and even Lusamine missed some opportunities for growth.

But as long as they are essentially the same people, there will naturally be many, even more, new opportunities for them to grow and break away from their immaturity.

Maybe the process will be slower, but on the other hand, the family can be reunited long in advance.

This is not self-satisfaction, he just did it because he could do it and it would not have any bad consequences.

I came outside the villa and called out Dragonite with the Poké Ball.

At this time, Dragonite was obviously a little excited and looked at Luo Mu excitedly.

Luo Mu did not hide it and nodded directly: "Yes, after meeting an acquaintance, we will find a way to find Tapu Fin-Fin."

It's been such a long time, and now that we're in the Alola region, it's time to resolve the issue of Dragonite leader.

And there is also the matter of purifying the four disaster treasures in the Padya region.

According to the contents recorded on the wooden slips that Luo Mu and Lei He found in the tomb under the Honghong Desert, they wanted to purify the four disaster treasures that had been polluted and corrupted by the many desires and curses of mankind, and restore them to their appearance as auspicious treasures.

They had to find the "clear water that purifies all impurities" written on the wooden slips, bring it back to the Padya area, and sprinkle it on the 32 stakes.

Aside from Suicune, the only Pokémon that can produce "clear water that purifies all impurities" is Tapu Finfin, the guardian of Poni Island in the Alola region.

Whether it is the problem of the leader of Dragonite or the problem of the four treasures of disaster, the power of Tapu Fin-Fin is required.

Finding it is the most important thing for Luo Mu's trip to Alola, no doubt about it.

Whether you want to send photos, find a Pokémon chef, or take a vacation to relax, you have to wait in line.

As Dragonite flapped its wings with full fighting spirit, Luo Mu arrived at his destination in a short while.

Because the Alola region does not reject flying Pokémon mounts entering the city, this time he and Dragonite flew into Melemele Island openly, instead of finding a place to land in the wild and walking for a while to reach their destination.

Dragonite landed smoothly, and Luo Mu looked at the building in front of him with a slight smile on his face.

This is the school that Xiaozhi will attend in the future. I don’t know if it’s because of the further education he received, but Xiaozhi won the title of "First Champion of the Alola League" while he was in school.

That’s right, this is the Pokémon School built on Melemele Island.

Kukui, the person Luo Mu was looking for to reminisce about the past, also successfully obtained the title of "Pokémon Doctor" after the end of his journey and chose to teach here.

However, the timing of Luo Mu's arrival seemed not very good.

I saw a large group of people wearing strange clothes, with hair dyed in various colors, who looked quite non-mainstream, marching towards the Pokémon School.

And Luo Mu stood in front of them.
