Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Being Played
Chapter 479: Being Played
The plane landed slowly.
As he was getting off, Hikaru once again saw the trainer from Shuimu No. 3 Middle School—Luo Chen.
He still had a shy look, greeting Hikaru with a smile, his eyes filled with gratitude.
After landing, someone quickly came to receive them, conversing with the person in charge, Tang Fei, in fluent Chinese. Soon, they led the group to a high-end hotel near the airport.
Most of them looked at the surrounding scenery like curious babies.
Hikaru was no exception.
After all, this was the first time abroad for most of them.
They were even curious about the foreign people.
"Wow, so many blondes," Ash said.
"What's this? Is this a new Pokémon? Let me search." This was also said by Ash.
He took out his phone, took a picture of the Mime Jr. on someone's shoulder, and then searched for information.
"Mime Jr., the pre-evolved form of Mr. Mime, has a habit of imitating the habits of its opponent."
Hikaru silently moved a little further away.
Even Sakura looked at Hikaru with a curious expression, as if asking how he could be friends with such a person.
Before entering the hotel, Tang Fei instructed everyone.
"On the plane, everyone was assigned a Poké Ball. The Pokémon in the Poké Ball is a Rotom. This will be the record of everyone's entire competition. Later, the competition venue will be announced to everyone. During your time in the M Region, all daily expenses will be covered by the competition organizers. Please don't be too concerned about it."
The receptionist next to her, a person in a pencil skirt and professional shirt, a standard secretary look, smiled and led the group into the hotel to choose their rooms after Tang Fei finished speaking.
Regardless of other things, this service was quite thoughtful.
Hikaru, Sakura, and the others naturally chose three adjacent rooms.
After choosing their rooms, Xue Nai and Sakura's first thought was to find Hikaru, but in the hotel corridor, they ran into another woman who was also looking for Hikaru.
The three of them coincidentally arrived at Hikaru's room door at the same time.
At this moment, Hikaru was still using his Aura to search the room for any surveillance devices. The moment he deployed his Aura, he felt that things were about to get bad.
"Are you... a competitor from the Huaxia region's Senior Division?"
Sakura looked at the blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman in front of her with some uncertainty.
She had some impression of this person.
It couldn't be helped; among all the Huaxia people, Linna's appearance was simply too prominent.
Plus, someone had tried to hit on her, but they were all rejected by her cold attitude.
Such a distinct feature naturally made people take a second look.
"Yes," Linna said naturally.
"You know Hikaru?" This time, Sakura's tone carried a bit of vigilance.
"I do."
Click...
The door was opened with some force, and Hikaru came out with an embarrassed look on his face. His first glance, however, was at Linna. "Is something the matter?"
He knew very well that when Sakura and his senior looked for him, it was just to find him.
But Linna definitely had something on her mind.
"I wanted to ask how much longer you'll be using the Plate. Also, I want to enter the illusion again. Are you coming?"
"I can't return the Plate to you for now. The illusion..." Hikaru looked at her in surprise. "The competition is about to start, and you still want to enter the illusion?"
Do you have to go this hard?
Although he didn't know what she had experienced in the illusion, there was no doubt that entering the illusion once meant dying once.
Even Hikaru found the torment of the illusion a bit hard to bear.
And she still wanted to enter...
"Yes..."
"I'm not going, and you shouldn't... push yourself so hard..."
Hikaru advised. The latter nodded and then left without another word.
As for whether she listened or not, that was her own business.
He turned his head and saw that Sakura's gaze had already become dangerous, as if her eyes were interrogating him about who this woman was.
"Her Zoroark can create illusions and enhance my Aura Force. I also helped her a little."
Hikaru helplessly used his Aura to transmit the scene of how they met to Sakura.
"I'm sorry, big brother..."
Knowing the whole story, Sakura immediately lowered her head, feeling terribly ashamed.
"Pfft..."
His senior next to him seemed to have failed to hold back her laughter.
Hikaru looked at her in surprise. "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Xue Nai left with a smile.
Hikaru patted Sakura's head, indicating that it was okay.
"No, why don't you scold me a bit?" Sakura started to feel guilty.
Hikaru didn't hold back, reaching out and patting her on the bottom, then quickly ran into the room.
Sakura, however, was stunned on the spot. The next second, her face flushed red. She turned and chased after him, a sound of shame and anger escaping her lips. "Big brother!"
But even if she chased him, she was no match for Hikaru. She was quickly restrained by him, her hands held behind her back, pressed onto the bed. "Hmph, you dared to raise a hand against your big brother before. It's been a long time since you've been disciplined, hasn't it!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pat her bottom again.
Because they were abroad, Sakura was wearing simple gray casual pants, which was why Hikaru dared to act so boldly.
But that didn't mean the girl under him was willing to be spoken to like that.
"It's true," she said, her face red, her body twisting restlessly, trying to escape from Hikaru's restraint.
But let's not even mention that boys are naturally stronger than girls.
The current Hikaru's trainer level was also higher than Sakura's, and he also had a partial physical boost from his Aura Force.
With her strength, she couldn't budge him at all.
"Tell me, will you dare to do it again next time?"
Hikaru was practically pressing on top of her, looking all puffed up and aggressive.
"I will!"
Smack!
Hikaru patted her again.
"Will you dare!"
"Hmph!" The girl turned her head away.
...
After two or three times like this, when Hikaru asked again, the girl under him had red eyes and a wronged look on her face. "Big brother... you're bullying me."
Tears were about to fall.
Hikaru panicked at once, quickly releasing her hands and backing away.
"Don't, don't cry..." Hikaru helped her sit up. Seeing the tears welling in her eyes, he gently touched her face, wanting to wipe away the tear stains.
He thought to himself, why am I being such a jerk?
The girl then took the opportunity to fall into his arms and began to whimper softly.
But in reality, she wasn't crying at all.
When it came to understanding Hikaru best, it still had to be Sakura.
She knew that when facing people close to him, Hikaru was always soft-hearted.
Wiping her eyes, Sakura looked pitifully at Hikaru. "Then promise me, big brother, that you'll try not to do things like that in the future."
"Alright..."
Hikaru let out a light breath and softly agreed.
The moment Hikaru agreed, Sakura burst out laughing. "Hee hee."
Her bright smile quickly made Hikaru realize that he had been played.
