Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 482 Xi Si: I'm here to teach Li Luochen Carlos!

"How...how was it resolved?"

Higana's eyes widened in disbelief.

What happened to the saying that water and fire are incompatible?

Li Luochen then briefly explained the tripartite alliance.

Team Magma, Team Aqua, and the Hoenn League—these three organizations will work together to deal with the meteor crisis.

Higana was deeply shocked after hearing this.

"Hmm..." She lowered her head, her fingers tracing the meteorite. "Then, what about Rayquaza?"

"You can keep it as a backup plan."

Li Luochen glanced at her.

In any case, this little cousin genuinely cared about the Hoenn region, and besides, that meteorite was indeed useful to Rayquaza.

If Higanbana can win over Rayquaza, whether by subduing him or forming an alliance, it would be a good thing.

Xijiana raised her head, looked at Li Luochen, her lips moved, and her eyes reddened slightly.

After a long while, she softly hummed in agreement and carefully put the meteorite into her pocket: "Thank you, cousin."

Li Luochen reached out and patted her on the head: "You're welcome."

"Then I won't bother you any longer, cousin. Bye!"

Higana waved her hand, casually put the two empty cans on the table into a paper bag, and opened the door.

In the hallway outside the door, Xisi was pacing back and forth with a pillow in her arms. When she heard the door open, she suddenly looked up.

The two locked eyes.

Yuusi blinked: "Who are you?"

"Me?" Xijiana, carrying the paper bag, looked her up and down. "I'm Luo Chen's cousin."

After saying that, Xijiana paused, her gaze falling on the pillow in Xisi's arms, and then looking at the neatly folded pajamas on her body.

"By the way, aren't you the third lord of the battle fortress? Your room isn't here, is it?"

"Uh...uh..."

Xi Si's face flushed red from her ears to the roots of her neck. She clutched her pillow tightly, her voice choked in her throat, and it took her a long time to finally squeeze out a complete sentence: "I...I'll teach Luo Chen Carlos!"

"Carlos language?" Higana raised an eyebrow. "Learning Carlos language in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, yes!" Yuu nodded, forcing herself to speak.

Xijiana glanced at her, then turned back and called out to Li Luochen inside the door, "Cousin, someone wants to learn a foreign language from you."

After saying that, he stepped aside to clear the doorway and walked away.

The sandals made a "plop plop plop" sound as they stepped on the carpet, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Xi Si stood at the door, clutching her pillow, caught in a dilemma.

The corridor light shone on her slightly flushed face. She took a deep breath and was about to turn and leave when Li Luochen's voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Xi Si stopped walking, then hugged her pillow and went into the room, closing the door behind her.

The corridor lights were shut out, leaving only the dim yellow glow of the bedside lamp in the room, illuminating Li Luochen's profile as he leaned against the headboard.

Li Luochen was covering his forehead, his fingers resting on his temples, gently rubbing them.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and met Xi Si's gaze.

"Hehe~"

Xi Si stood by the bed, her fingers tightening slightly as she held the pillow. Her gaze flickered for a moment before returning to his face, her lips curving into a slightly guilty, ingratiating smile.

"Carlos language..." Li Luochen released her hand, leaned against the headboard, glanced at her, and said helplessly, "Your excuse, sigh."

He sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but felt that nothing he said would be quite right.

Xi Si stood there, her ears red, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something to explain, but she found that she couldn't come up with a more plausible reason than "Carlos language".

The room was quiet for a moment, with only the soft hum of the air conditioner.

"Come and sit down," Li Luochen said casually, patting the spot next to the bed.

Xi Si looked down at the pillow in her arms, then at the bed sheet that Li Luochen had patted. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

She sat very close to the edge, half of her body hanging off the edge of the bed, her pillow still in her arms, her chin resting on the top edge of the pillow, her eyes fixed on her toes, not daring to look at him.

Li Luochen glanced at her, then reached out and pulled the pillow from her arms, placing it aside.

"What exactly happened?"

Xi Si's hands were empty, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the bed sheet. After a long while, she finally spoke: "...I can't sleep."

"Can't sleep, so you come to my room?"

"Mmm." Yuu's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Li Luochen remained silent for a moment, then reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

The room darkened, with only a sliver of moonlight filtering through the curtains, falling softly on the sheets between the two.

"Go to sleep." Li Luochen lay down, pulled the blanket over himself, and turned his back to her.

Xi Si sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at his blurry figure in the moonlight.

Then she slowly lay down, pulled a corner of the blanket over herself, turned to her side, looked at his back, and her lips curved slightly.

"Goodnight," she said.

"Good night," Li Luochen replied.

......

In the middle of the night, Xi Si woke up and found that Li Luochen had turned around at some point and was now facing her.

Li Luochen's breathing was light and even, and his eyelashes remained still, indicating that he was still asleep.

Xi Si swallowed hard, clutched the corner of the blanket, hesitated for a while, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly, inch by inch, crawled into the blanket.

"Hmm... Is this the pseudo-legendary Pokémon that's the leader of the Minrong Gym?"

Xi Si had second thoughts.

But then Li Luochen's voice came from beside him: "Instead of sleeping at night, you want to play Pokémon battles?"

"Waaah~♡♡♡"

......

The next day, Xi Si lay in Li Luochen's arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, her hair scattered all over the pillow.

She tried to turn over, and a soreness spread across her side, causing her to hiss softly.

Li Luochen had already woken up, and looked down at the little beauty in his arms: "Awake?"

Xi Si didn't respond, but buried her face in his chest, her ears turning bright red.

"I've heard you like taking in concubines, this must be the reason... After all, having only one would definitely cause a lot of trouble..."

After a while, Xi Si asked in a muffled voice.

"That's ridiculous." Li Luochen leaned against the headboard, his tone indifferent. "What do you mean I like taking in concubines? They were the ones who actively expressed their desire to follow me, so I only gave them a title."

"So, you're saying there are quite a few people like me?"

Xi Si asked.

"Pretty much, I've basically never taken the initiative."

Li Luochen nodded slightly.

"Hmm..."

Xi Si straddled Li Luochen, meeting his gaze: "So, what do you think of me? What about my other three sisters?"

"What you say is correct."

Li Luochen said with a smile, "But I can't say about the other three sisters."

"How about... I bring my second sister to your room tonight?"

Xi Si offered Li Luochen some advice.

"Good job, feasible."

Li Luochen nodded slightly.

Xi Si and Li Luochen made a pinky promise: "Okay!"

The appointment is done, but there are still important things to do...
