Chapter 39 The Pursuers of Mooncloth
Chapter 39 The Pursuers of Mooncloth
Lu An accepted Xiao Mei's invitation and followed her to her home.
During their conversation on the way, Lu An learned that the five Xiao Mei sisters had held a tea ceremony at home.
After seeing that Lu An had raised such beautiful and elegant Espeon and Umbreon, Xiao Mei wanted to invite Lu An to go with her.
"After the tea ceremony, the five of us sisters will hold a special performance in Eden City, called 'HeartGold SoulSilver,' which you can watch with your two Eevee."
Lu An readily agreed.
Upon arriving at Xiaomei's home, one finds many guests already there: monks, tourists, and trainers.
Outdoors, many Pokémon are chasing and playing.
Inside, in the very center, several girls, also dressed in kimonos, were talking with the guests.
"Xiaomei's back. Did she bring any new guests?"
Xiao Mei curtsied: "Sister, this is Lu An. Lu An, these are my sisters: Yinghua, Xiaojuan, Xiaotao, and Xiaoyu."
After the two exchanged greetings, Xiaomei said:
"Like me and Xiaoyu, Lu An also raised Espeon and Umbreon."
"Moreover, his two Eevee dogs are exceptionally well-trained, so I invited him to our tea ceremony."
Upon hearing this, the four sisters were somewhat surprised: "Mr. Lu An also has a son named Eevee?"
Since things had come to this point, Lu An had no reason to refuse, so he released the Eevee that he had put away before entering the mansion.
“Buyi”.
“Eebu”.
As soon as Sun and Moon Eevee appeared, they attracted the attention of most of the people at the tea ceremony.
"Is Miss Mei going to bring out her Espeon now?"
"The Eevee Five sisters truly live up to their long-standing reputation; these two Eevee are clearly very well-bred."
"Wait, something's not right. Why does this Umbreon have blue markings? Is it a Shiny Eevee?"
"I remember that Miss Xiaoyu's Umbreon wasn't a shiny color, was it?"
"How is this going?"
The Ibrahimovic sisters and others were also taken aback:
"I never expected that Lu An's Umbreon would be a rare shiny."
A yellow Speed Ball flashed above Yu's head, and a yellow-striped Umbreon jumped out.
"feed."
It curiously approached Lu An's Umbreon and kept sniffing it.
"Bu Yi..."
(????)
For some reason, Espeon, which is usually gentle, seemed to have a dangerous expression when it saw two Umbreons together.
When everyone saw the Umbreon next to Xiaoyu, they immediately realized that this shiny Umbreon was not the Pokémon of the Eevee sisters.
The guests invited by the five Mei sisters to the tea ceremony were clearly not ordinary people.
When Lu An saw Umbreon, it caused quite a stir, but it quickly subsided.
However, many people still approached Lu An out of curiosity, asking about the origins of the two Eevee dogs.
Lu An naturally wouldn't tell everyone that they came from Team Rocket's base, but instead jokingly brushed it off.
At the tea ceremony, the five Eevee sisters were very interested in Lu An, who possessed the evolved form of Eevee, and their Eevee were equally interested in him.
Thunder, Fire, Water, and Espeon were alright, they just kept looking around curiously.
However, for some reason, Xiaoyu's Umbreon seemed to be bewitched, constantly circling around Lu An's Umbreon.
"Nurse, nurse?"
(^??w??^)
A berry was pushed in front of Lu An's Umbreon, and Xiao Yu's Umbreon looked at it with sparkling eyes.
Yue Bu, who was always aloof and fierce, had never seen such a warm welcome before, and was immediately flustered.
“Eebu”.
Yuebu sipped the "gift" and it seemed to taste quite good.
"Baby-baby, baby-baby!"
(^=???=^)
Xiaoyu's Umbreon was clearly very happy about this.
Lu An silently watched the "warm" interaction between the two Umbreons, then looked mischievously to the other side.
"Buyi~"
<( ̄﹌ ̄)>
Surprisingly, his Espeon wasn't clinging to him; instead, it was staring intently at the two Umbreons.
When it saw Umbreon accept the gift from Tama's Eevee, the fur on the back of its head stood on end.
"Bu-i, Bu-i".
??_??
The forked tail swished back and forth, revealing the tail owner's unhappy mood.
Lu An simply covered his mouth and chuckled to himself, showing no intention of interfering in this "love triangle."
Umbreon usually gets angry when it sees a male Pokémon showing affection to Seibu.
Today, contrary to his usual behavior, a female Pokémon showed interest in Umbreon, which immediately left the usually aloof night owl bewildered.
What's even more amusing is that Espeon, who is usually always clinging to him, showed a subtle attitude after seeing that Umbreon had a suitor.
what is this?
Are they finally feeling the pressure?
Or is it the first stirrings of love for a carefree young lady?
Lu An was delighted by the shift in stance between the Light Cloth and the Moon Cloth, and even wanted to raise his hands and feet to express his delight and desire to watch more.
Such a scene of eating vinegar under the moonlight with bare skin is truly rare.
Accepting Mei's invitation to attend the tea ceremony at the Eevee sisters' house today was absolutely the right decision.
Even if this journey to Yuanzhu fails to find any clues about Emperor Yan, it will still be worthwhile.
The lively atmosphere of the tea ceremony lasted for a long time until the Ibiza sisters left to prepare for the evening's performance, at which point the event was declared over.
Lu An bid farewell to Xiao Mei, promising to go see the performance that evening, before leaving Xiao Mei's house with his Aldebaran and Eevee.
With the Eevee sisters' performance time still to come, Lu An strolled around Eevee City with two of his Eevee dogs.
Thanks to the interference of Yu's Umbreon, a subtle change has clearly occurred between the two Eevee.
But Lu Anquan pretended not to see it.
Sometimes, it's best to let the Pokémon handle their own affairs.
Even trainers don't have to get involved in everything.
The two little ones had relied on each other since they were little, and they had survived together in Team Rocket's experimental base.
They eventually became his reliable comrades-in-arms.
He still believed in the bond between them.
Just guide them occasionally when appropriate.
Lu An stroked his chin, suddenly lost in thought.
So, if his two Eevee dogs were to become a pair, would he be considered a matchmaker?
Wouldn't that mean I'd have to receive two red envelopes?
The two little ones behind Lu An, whose atmosphere was a bit strange, had no idea that their trainer had already set his sights on the so-called matchmaker's red envelope.
......
Although it was supposed to be a casual stroll, Lu An didn't forget that the most important thing about this trip was to find traces of Emperor Yan.
Therefore, as they strolled around, Lu An and his group gradually headed towards the northwest corner of Yuanzhu City.
Soon, Lu An arrived at his destination—the Burnt Tower.
