“Boss, here are the keys to your luxurious room and the rooms of the others.”
“Okay, thanks. Xia Xia, Saint Dai, and Xiao Huang, you three will be in one room. Nana Mi, Xiao Ju Er, and Hiron, you three will be in one room. Professor Oak, please stay in one room with Xiao Gang. Mom, you and I will stay in one room.”
Everyone agreed with Xiao Zhi's arrangement, but Hanako shook her head and said, “Okay, I don’t need to share a room with you, Xiao Zhi. I can stay with Xia Huang and the others.”
“Is that so? Okay. By the way, Hiron and Xiao Ju Er, if you have time, come over. I have something for you.”
“Okay, we’ll come over after we put our stuff away.” Then, Xiao Zhi’s group started returning to their rooms to unpack their things. Soon, Hiron and Xiao Ju Er arrived as agreed. Xiao Zhi took out two cans of Wonder Candy from his high-tech backpack and said, “One can for each of you. And Hiron, do I need to contact your grandmother through you?”
“That’s right. Be careful, she's in a really bad mood lately.”
Hearing Hiron’s words, Xiao Zhi swallowed nervously and then dialed the number.
On the other side, Xia, Saint Dai, Xia Huang, and Hanako came out and found a group of people leaning against the wall listening, and Xiao Gang and Professor Oak were doing the same.
“Nana Mi, what's going on?” Xia asked Nana Mi, who looked a little helpless, with some confusion. Nana Mi replied, “It's nothing, they’re just eavesdropping.”
“That stinky kid! He took advantage of my granddaughter and he’s hiding from her! Don’t let me catch you! You must give my granddaughter an explanation today!”
Soon, a furious voice came from the room, and Professor Oak looked excited.
“Here it comes! It begins! Hiron’s grandmother has a notoriously short temper!”
Seeing Professor Oak and Xiao Gang like this, Nana Mi and the others sighed helplessly.
Inside the room, Xiao Zhi looked at Hiron’s grandmother with a flattering smile and said, “Grandma, you see, I have already admitted my mistake. The dowry can be sent out anytime. You see…”
“Stinky kid! If you hadn’t taken good care of Hiron, this wouldn’t be over, you know! Listen carefully! Hiron is very strong in battles, but she's too sloppy in her daily life. I’ve been worried that this silly granddaughter wouldn't be able to get married. But since you’ve stumbled into this situation, I won't say much.”
“Grandma, don’t say that about Hiron. After all, she is a beautiful champion. Many people will surely like her.”
“You’re a smooth talker, kid. Come over to our place sometime! I have something to talk to you about! Got it!”
“Yes! Grandma, don't worry! I will definitely get it done!”
After giving Xiao Zhi a warning look, Hiron’s grandmother said, “Cut it out, stinky kid. You’re getting away with a lot.” Then, she looked at the can of candy that Hiron was holding with a meaningful look and then closed the communication.
Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest boss was finally dealt with…
However, Hiron’s grandmother was currently being questioned by a group of people.
“Clan chief, why did you agree to Hiron’s marriage? She’s acting on her own, right?”
“Yes, what makes that guy named Xiao Zhi qualified? I think my grandson is not bad…”
“Shut up!” Listening to the words of these family elders, Hiron’s grandmother’s temper flared up. She directly interrupted them and said, “A bunch of guys who only know how to rely on their family for help and act arrogant. Do you think I would let Hiron marry that kind of good-for-nothing? You can look at this yourselves!”
Hiron’s grandmother then played a video.
“This was given to me by that old fellow, Professor Oak. You tell me, who can do this?”
The video was simple. It was a battle between Xiao Zhi’s Pikachu and a Garchomp. Looking at the video of a Pikachu actually defeating a Garchomp, a Pokémon that had already reached the pseudo-legendary level, with its skills, the elders all fell silent. Even the one who said his own grandson was not bad shut up. What could they do? If they sent their own grandson, he would probably pee in his pants before even getting there.
“No more words to say? I’ll tell you, I’ve already decided on something because of your questions today. Hiron’s things are hers, no one can touch them!”
Thinking of what Professor Oak had told her about the Wonder Candy, Hiron’s grandmother had already decided. These guys who were trying to cause trouble absolutely couldn’t touch anything that belonged to her granddaughter.
Unlike what was happening in Sinnoh, Xiao Zhi was enjoying his wonderful time.
“Ah, sunshine, beach, and a beautiful fiancée. It’s heaven!”
Looking at Nana Mi, Xiao Ju Er, Hiron, Xia, Saint Dai, and Xia Huang, who were all wearing swimsuits, Xiao Zhi’s mood was great. Of course, his hands were not idle either.
“Here’s your strawberry sundae, Hiron.”
“Thank you. Give me a chocolate one too.” Hiron smiled, took the sundae from Xiao Zhi, and then ordered another flavor. Xiao Zhi immediately opened the mold, started making it, and said, “Got it.”
While eating ice cream, Xiao Ju Er saw Hiron start eating her fourth sundae and couldn't help but sigh, “I finally understand why Xiao Zhi made Hiron’s last.”
“He’s a greedy pig, he’s really good at anything when it comes to eating…” Nana Mi looked at Xiao Zhi who was already making fancy ice cream with a pile of ice cream and was speechless.
Xia ate a vanilla ice cream cone and said, “Now, the one who should be feeling troubled is Xiao Zhi. I see a lot of people coming towards him.”
As Xia said, a bunch of people started gathering around Xiao Zhi because his ice cream looked really good. Xiao Zhi could only say over and over again, “Sorry, I’m not a vendor. This is private. Here, Pikachu, this is for you and your Chu Chu. So, this is not for sale. If you want to buy some, you can go elsewhere.”
While talking, Xiao Zhi made another cup of new ice cream and handed it to Hiron.
“Nana, here’s your cantaloupe-flavored ice cream. What flavor do you want next?”
Hiron started eating the ice cream and said, “Pineapple.”
“No problem.”
Looking at Xiao Zhi with his amazing boyfriend power, many female tourists started pinching their significant others.
And in this atmosphere, the beach beauty contest was about to begin.
