“Why are you trying to catch me, Grandma! Stop it, Grandma!”
At this moment, Jun Sha and a group of police officers were arresting Grandma Jin, who was struggling incessantly.
“Think carefully about your actions, and now you need to keep quiet!”
“I just wanted to develop a better project, Grandma! It’s going to be an ultra-luxurious water park above and below the water, Grandma!”
Watching Grandma Jin being taken away, everyone felt a sense of relief, as this was all her doing. Previously, Jun Sha and the police had gone to help fight against the Agate Jellyfish at the reminder of the mainland hotel, and now that the time was up, it was time to arrest Grandma Jin, the mastermind behind it all.
On the other hand, Xiao Zhi was not having a good time either, as he was surrounded by his little Pokémon. Menas was wrapping around Xiao Zhi, preventing him from moving, while the Gyarados kept rubbing against him, and the Machamp was ready to give Xiao Zhi a loving hug at any moment.
“Alright, alright everyone, I know you all like me, but we have important business to attend to, so Menas, please stop wrapping around me for now…”
“Mena!”
Although Menas wanted to continue clinging to Xiao Zhi, since he had already spoken, she could only reluctantly let go. Xiao Zhi smiled and patted her head, saying, “Okay, I have a task for you later. If you complete it well, I’ll take you on a trip with me.”
“Mena!” Hearing Xiao Zhi say this made Menas happy again, and soon after, the giant Onix and others lifted their defensive stance once everything was confirmed safe.
“Thanks, buddy.”
Xiao Zhi patted the giant Onix’s body, and the giant Onix smiled and rubbed against Xiao Zhi. Then Xiao Zhi turned to everyone and said with a smile, “The incident has been perfectly resolved.”
“Xiao Zhi!” Seeing that Xiao Zhi was safe, Xiao Ju and the others excitedly hugged him. Although there were a lot of people, Xiao Zhi enjoyed it.
Professor Okido and Brock were observing the Pokémon that Xiao Zhi had called over.
“Oh my! The Magikarp that Xiao Zhi took care of back in the day has evolved into a Gyarados, and the giant Onix is here too.” Professor Okido knew some of the things Xiao Zhi had done over the years but didn’t expect him to actually gather a bunch of Gyarados. Brock looked at the group of Rock-type Pokémon that Xiao Zhi had called over and said, “Are all these Pokémon Xiao Zhi’s? They all look so strong.”
“Although I don’t want to admit it, that guy Xiao Zhi is super popular in the Pokémon world. After he got rich, he kept raising these guys.” Shigeru explained to Brock, who looked puzzled, and then he patted a nearby Geodude, saying, “If you really think about it, he actually has a lot of powerful Pokémon, but these little ones have been entrusted to protect Hanako.”
“Is that so? So Xiao Zhi is that amazing?”
Now that the matter was resolved, it was time to reward his Pokémon. When Brock saw the mainland hotel sending in truckloads of the highest quality Pokémon food, he couldn’t help but complain, “Only someone as rich as Xiao Zhi could afford to feed them all…”
The sight of hundreds of Pokémon eating together was quite spectacular, but the scene on the other side was even more frightening. At this moment, the giant Tentacruel had been released by Xiao Zhi and was being held up by the giant Dragonite, while Xiao Zhi stood on its nose, pressing down on its head, saying, “Kid, are you ready to submit now?”
“Wuwu!” (I submit! Master, I submit!)
“Boss, he says he submits.”
“Good, listen carefully. As long as you behave, I won’t do anything to you. But if you misbehave, I’ll show you just how refreshing my original moves can be.”
“Wuwu!” (Don’t worry, boss! I’ll be good!) Looking at Pikachu, who was staring at him from Xiao Zhi’s shoulder, the Tentacruel no longer dared to act recklessly.
“Good boy.”
When everything settled down, Shirona and Sanda were about to take Xiao Zhi’s boat to the private airport, so everyone had to say their goodbyes here.
“Nana, take my Menas with you. During this time, she will teach your Menas some of my moves, which will be very helpful.”
As he spoke, Xiao Zhi patted Menas’s head, and Menas understood her task, rubbing against Shirona.
Shirona didn’t refuse this, as their relationship didn’t need any pretense. She took Menas’s Poké Ball and said, “Thank you, Xiao Zhi. I will take good care of her during this time.” After saying that, she suddenly kissed Xiao Zhi, and he gladly accepted the kiss from his fiancée.
After they parted, Shirona blushed a little and said, “Well, I’m leaving now. Xiao Zhi, take care of yourself.” Then she ran off, and Sanda patted Xiao Zhi’s shoulder, saying, “Well, I’m leaving too, money-grubber. Thanks for your help, and by the way, you were really cool earlier.” After saying that, she kissed Xiao Zhi on the cheek and ran up the boat.
Finally, amidst everyone’s farewells, Sanda and Shirona boarded their boat and left, while Professor Okido and the others also had to set sail.
“I won’t disturb you any longer, Hanako, Nana, Mei, I’ll board the ship first.” Professor Okido, knowing his place, didn’t want to be a third wheel. After saying that, he boarded the ship, while Hanako looked at Xiao Zhi and said, “Next time, don’t do anything so dangerous.”
“I understand… Sorry for worrying you.”
“Although I’m very happy to see your achievements now, you are still the most important, so Xiao Zhi, make sure to protect yourself.” After saying that, Hanako hugged Xiao Zhi and then left the time for Nana Mei.
Xiao Zhi felt a bit shy looking at Nana Mei, as she was his first fiancée, but it seemed his first time was with Xiao Ju. Nana Mei smiled at Xiao Zhi and then jumped into his arms, whispering, “What you said earlier was really cool. It’s so nice to be cherished by you.”
“What else? You are all my most precious treasures.”
“Then, I’ll be waiting for you in Masara Town, Xiao Zhi. And next, you’re going to meet Naji, right? Be careful not to be turned into a doll.”
“Ah, I know. Naji is actually very nice; she’s just too lonely.”
“I’ll leave Naji to you.”
Then, before leaving, Nana Mei kissed Xiao Zhi and departed.
Watching the two ships begin to leave, Xiao Zhi gently snapped his fingers. Soon, Gyarados, Agate Jellyfish, and the Wailord were guarding around the two ships.
“Old Gyarados! I’m counting on you for their safety! When we get back, I’ll make you the ultimate grilled fish!”
“Roar!” (Rest assured, boss!)
Xiao Zhi had never relaxed his vigilance regarding the safety of those he cared about.
