Arriving at the front desk and seeing Nurse Joy, before Natsui and the others could state their purpose, Nurse Joy scanned them and smiled.
"You ca just in ti. There happens to be exactly one dormitory room left for n and one for won. If you had co a little later, I'm afraid you would have had to mix with other trainers."
This was indeed good news. After all, who would want to live with strangers they didn't know? Otherwise, no matter what they did, it would be inconvenient and uncomfortable.
Natsui nodded. "That's great. Then please arrange the rooms for us."
"Okay." Nurse Joy operated the computer a few tis and asked without raising her head, "Looking at you, you are obviously here to participate in the Pokémon Contest too, right?"
As soon as her words ca out, Natsui keenly felt the atmosphere around them change.
So trainers who were originally grooming their Pokémon or feeding them in the lobby almost simultaneously cast their gazes over, seemingly inadvertently.
As the only two females, Misty and May naturally noticed the gazes of these people and subconsciously took a step closer to each other.
May looked around and whispered, "Why are they looking at us?"
"Don't you understand?" Natsui said indifferently without turning his head. "There are already enough people participating this ti, and there are only so many spots. Now seeing our group, everyone knows that the competition will beco even fiercer."
Gulp...
Being stared at by so many people, May inevitably beca more nervous and even swallowed unconsciously.
Fortunately, at this ti, soone who couldn't read the atmosphere broke the silence. A figure flashed in front of them. Brock leaned on the counter and said to Nurse Joy with a face full of affection:
"You misunderstood. Only May among us is going to participate in the Pokémon Contest. But if you wish, I can also sign up alone for the beautiful you!"
Urgh!
Misty really couldn't stand such cheesy words!
She took a step forward and grabbed Brock's ear. Just as she was about to drag him back, she found that Brock's other ear was simultaneously grabbed by the little boy nad Max!
Eh!?
She was stunned for a mont, then rembered that when they introduced each other in the coffee shop just now, May said that this person was her goofy brother, seemingly called... Max?
But why would he also grab Brock's ear?
With just a thought, she imdiately realized that this little boy, like herself, definitely couldn't stand Brock's cheesy confession!
It seems that in this regard, she has a successor!
Looking at Max, the two smiled, then exerted force simultaneously, pulling Brock back into the team.
Brock's screams echoed through the entire hall. And it was precisely these screams that diverted the attention of other trainers, allowing May to breathe a sigh of relief secretly.
After putting their luggage in their respective dormitories, Ash couldn't wait to drag Natsui outside for a battle.
However, after seeing so many competitors just now, May felt heavy-hearted and obviously wasn't in the mood to watch the battle. She shook her head.
"You go ahead. I want to find a place to practice a little more."
Although she had made so preparations during the journey, when things ca to a head, she felt even less confident.
"I'll go with you!" Looking at May, Misty smiled. "Anyway, I can foresee the outco of their match. How could Ash be Brother Natsui's opponent? Besides, I also want to see how one trains for a Pokémon Contest!"
May obviously understood that Misty specially offered to accompany her because she was afraid she would be lonely, and she was very moved.
"Thank you."
And just like that, the group divided into two teams. Natsui, Ash, and Brock went to the battlefield behind the Pokémon Center for a battle between n, while Misty and Max accompanied May to the seaside to practice.
"Then we'll go first!" Misty waved to Natsui. "Brother Natsui, co find us at the seaside when you're done!"
"Got it."
Watching Misty and the others leave first, Natsui and the other two also went from the back door of the Pokémon Center to the open-air field behind.
Unless it was a very remote place, the open-air battlefield of every Pokémon Center could be said to be standard equipnt. Even if you hadn't been to this city before, you didn't have to worry about not finding a battlefield.
And perhaps because this is a seaside city, considering that many trainers have Water-type Pokémon, the open-air battlefield here thoughtfully built a simple swimming pool to serve as a water field!
Standing outside the field, the three looked around. Except for them, there were only two children battling in the farthest ordinary field. And judging by their appearance, they were not trainers, but purely local children who ca over to play!
It can only be said that this is the biggest difference between Pokémon Coordinators and ordinary competitive trainers.
If it were a Pokémon League competition, with so many people gathered in the sa Pokémon Center, not to ntion these few open-air battlefields being fully occupied, I'm afraid even the surrounding open spaces would definitely have people battling.
If dozens of Pokémon weren't sent to the treatnt room every day, it wouldn't be called lively!
But now, the Contest trainers were all quietly doing their own things. Even if soone wanted to practice, they would secretly find a corner where no one could see, like May, very afraid that others would see their details!
The two children were fighting fiercely at this ti and did not notice the arrival of Natsui and the others. Natsui glanced at them with interest.
Of the two little boys, one commanded a Poochyena, and the other commanded a Zigzagoon.
Perhaps their cognition was not mature enough, or the Pokémon were too weak. The battle between the two Pokémon, over and over again, only involved Tackle, Growl, and Tail Whip...
But despite this, the two were spitting as they shouted, looking like they were having a blast!
What a wonderful childhood...
Shaking his head, Natsui withdrew his gaze and ca to the trainer command area on the other side of the water field, standing opposite Ash.
"Eh?" Ash was stunned. "Are we going to have a water battle this ti?"
Natsui nodded. "I caught a Water-type Pokémon before and haven't had a good chance to use it. Now is a good ti to practice with it."
"No problem, let's have a water battle then." Hearing this, Ash nodded and also ca to the trainer command area. Then he rubbed his nose and smiled. "Hehe, Brother Natsui, bring it on! I'm ready!!"
Under Ash's gaze, Natsui took out a Poké Ball from his waist bag. As he threw it gently, an earthy yellow, very ugly-looking fish Pokémon swam into the pool instantly.
