Chapter 29 Xia Mu: Can I Walk Sideways From Now On?
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Mom returned right on time before noon, otherwise Xia Mu would have been quite troubled.
After all, Mom and Uchiki were quite familiar, and he only knew some information about Uchiki from the original story.
Aside from some Pokémon knowledge, Xia Mu had nothing to discuss with Uchiki.
In the end, being with Uchiki would be awkward.
After all, he had lived two lives, and wasn't really 18 years old.
Although Uchiki was much older than him, she exuded a mature charm.
Leaving aside her looks, her figure was truly amazing.
Xia Mu was indeed attracted and couldn't help but let his mind wander.
As a normal man, his love of beauty was naturally the same as most men.
With Mom's involvement, Xia Mu felt much more relaxed; at least he could distract himself and didn't have to face Uchiki alone.
After finishing his initial research, Uchiki, at Mu Xiuli's invitation, had lunch at home.
During the meal, Xia Mu didn't speak and deliberately avoided looking at those white, full breasts.
Deep down, Mu Xiuli was somewhat worried. She wondered if Uchiki had noticed the glances he'd been giving her.
After dinner, Uchiki and Mu Xiuli chatted over tea.
Mu Xiuli didn't participate, instead feeding her Pokémon in the backyard and also giving some food to the construction team's Pokémon.
Uchiki didn't leave until after 12:30.
After she left, Mu Xiuli breathed a sigh of relief.
Young people are full of vigor and easily tempted.
If they were alone together a few more times, even with restraint, impure thoughts would arise.
"Sigh~ After so many years with Uchiki, this time she's really leaving Tsubaki Island for a long time." Mu Xiuli's sudden words startled Xia Mu.
"Professor Neki is leaving the Pokémon Research Institute in Tsuburaya City?" Xia Mu asked curiously.
Thinking back to the original story, it was true that in less than two months, the Indigo League would conclude, and Ash and his friends would soon embark on a new journey, heading to the Orange Islands in GS Balls to participate in the Orange Islands Winners' Cup.
"Actually, Neki has been traveling back and forth between Tsuburaya and the Orange Islands for the past few months. This time, the Pokémon Professor on Daikan Island was transferred by the League due to a job change, and she has been officially appointed as the resident professor there.
"Speaking of which, Neki is originally from Daikan Island in the Orange Islands, and her dream has always been to contribute to her hometown." "
Mu Xiuli's words revealed more of the inside story to Xia Mu.
So that's how it is; no wonder Neki was working on Round Island. It turns
out Neki was already shuttling between the two islands and had genuinely intended to return to the Orange Islands to conduct research.
His time travel just happened to coincide with this period.
Seeing the sadness in Mu Xiuli's eyes, Xia Mu tried to ease the atmosphere, saying, 'Everyone has their own path to walk. Since Dr. Neki dreams of returning to the Orange Islands to develop her career, she naturally has her own plans. Mom, you don't need to be sad. If you miss your good friend, you can always go there. I've heard that Daikan Island is a popular resort destination.'
Hearing Xia Mu's words, Mu Xiuli squinted at him, 'My son can even spout such profound wisdom now? It seems your recent experiences have really helped you grow a lot.'
Xia Mu felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat trickling down his cheeks, 'I'm eighteen years old now. I understand everything I need to understand; I just didn't express it before.'" After finishing her sentence, Xia Mu changed the subject: "So, after Dr. Neki left, our research institute in Enoshima City is left without anyone to oversee it? Or is it that besides Dr. Neki, there are other senior researchers in Enoshima City?"
A thoughtful expression appeared on Mu Xiuli's face, and she said uncertainly, "I heard your father mention it last time. It seems a Pokémon professor named Mulan will be temporarily coming to study Pokémon in the Kanto region, and she just happened to be assigned to Enoshima City..."
"Dr. Mulan?" Xia Mu searched her memory.
Soon, a figure appeared in his mind.
Mulan, isn't that the old lady professor from the Galar region?
As the first person to research Dynamax, in the original story, she used Wishing Stars to attract Galar Particles and developed the Dynamax Band based on its absorption properties, thus enabling Pokémon to Dynamax.
Although he didn't know what stage the story had reached there, Xia Mu guessed that the Galar region was currently in a period of internal strife, and Dynamax was beginning to become popular there, but it was not yet known to the world.
Just like Mega Evolution, it's currently being researched extensively in the Kalos region, but news of it hasn't spread yet.
Considering Ash's current participation in the Indigo League, the Galar anime storyline he knows about is at least three or four years away from unfolding. Let's
say each region takes about six months.
Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola…
after experiencing these eight regions, it's Galar's turn. As for the Paldea region… let's not even mention it.
So, Professor Magnolia's research in Kanto is probably to avoid some trouble, right?
Speaking of which, Xia Mu's understanding of Professor Magnolia is so deep because of Sonia.
Whether in the game or the anime, Sonia has always been Xia Mu's ideal.
Lively yet mature, rational yet not rigid, plus a beautiful face and a curvaceous figure, especially those big, beautiful eyes—almost flawless.
He just wonders how far Sonia and Leon's relationship has progressed in the real world? After all, the anime provides very little information, leaving more room for the audience's imagination.
As for Sonia in the game, although she and Leon are childhood friends, they don't have much dialogue except for some plot requirements.
...
Seeing her son deep in thought, Mu Xiuli asked curiously, "What's wrong? Do you know this Professor Magnolia?"
Hearing this, Xia Mu suddenly came back to his senses, throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
He had been overthinking things.
Even if he had transmigrated to the Pokémon world, even if her relationship with Leon was just that of good friends, so what? He wouldn't have had the chance to get close to her, let alone win her over.
Returning to his thoughts, Xia Mu casually replied, "I think I've heard of her before, but I don't know her personally. But it shouldn't be related to us, right?"
Changing the subject, Xia Mu was also hiding his true feelings.
"Now that you mention it, there is some connection, after all, our family has invested in the Pokémon Research Institute in Tsubaki City in a sense..."
With Mu Xiuli's explanation, Xia Mu learned some things he didn't know before.
It turned out that his family even had a stake in the Pokémon Research Institute in Tsubaki City.
No wonder his father had connections with the league's higher-ups.
Suddenly, Xia Mu had a thought that he might be able to do whatever he wanted from now on.
