Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 151 Habit

Shota smoothed away the messy hair in front of Hanako's face and just looked at her quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hanako seemed to be dreaming about something. She involuntarily hugged Shota's neck and murmured, "No more, it's already overflowing..."

Feeling the smooth touch of Hanako's skin and watching her skin glowing in the sunlight, Shota seemed to understand why some people like nude paintings.

Silently pulling his head away from Hanako's two huge evils, Shota put on his clothes. He first went downstairs to get the other thick books given to him by Oki Yukinari from the corridor on the first floor, and then put them on Hanako's desk.

After putting the completed homework into his pocket, Shota went to the first floor again, turned on the TV, started watching today's morning news, and ordered Machado to "borrow" breakfast.

At around 8 o'clock, Shota heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Sitting on the chair, Shota looked at Hanako, whose head had already appeared, with a hint of evil at the corner of his mouth.

Hanako looked at him with a playful look in her eyes and said angrily, "It's all your fault. Why don't you come and help me?"

Shota spread his arms in confusion, but still picked up Hanako in a princess hug.

After placing Hanako on the chair, Kojima brought her today's breakfast.

While eating breakfast, she read the letter written by Oki Yukinari to her. After finishing breakfast, she said, "You don't have to steal the breakfast of the neighbor anymore. My mother recently sent me a message asking me to go back and inherit the family business. I have planned to compromise. After all, according to that man's idea, Xiaozhi has grown up. But I still plan to support Xiaozhi silently from behind."

Looking at Hanako's determined face, Shota felt unhappy for some reason.

"Of course, after meeting you, I now have one more man to worry about."

Feeling the warmth from Hanako's hand, Shouta said in a somewhat disappointing tone: "Anyway, as long as you don't delay your studies, I don't care what you do."

After saying that, Shota got up and left the room.

Looking at the closed door, Hanako shook her feet and murmured, "I don't know why, but I always feel that you have a better place in my heart."

Hanako felt the remaining warmth on her hand and lay down on the table with a blushing face.

In Tokiwa Forest, Shota was still doing his meaningless job.

"That restaurant seems to be called 'A delicious restaurant in a secret place across the country, an unknown street'."

Thinking of this strange name, a smile appeared on Shota's lips.

“Perhaps this restaurant can be put to good use later.”

Noon came quietly, and Shota received today's lunch from Machado. As expected, he also received a letter, which read:

"Xiao Rao, by the time you receive this letter, I may have already met my parents. I'm really sorry for being stubborn all these years."

"I've prepared lunch for you. I've already written your reply, which is in the drawer of my desk. I'm going to be back very late tonight, or maybe not at all, because there are many things to discuss. I've prepared dinner for you in the refrigerator, so remember to preheat it in the microwave in the evening."

Last words: "Love you, Miss Hanako."

……

"Xiao Rao, you did a great job on your homework. You were able to draw inferences from one example and put forward new ideas. You have the potential to become a senior Pokémon researcher. If you work harder in the future, you may be able to surpass me."

Hearing Oki Yukinari's praise for him, Shota's face showed great joy, but in his heart he was thinking about how to train Hanako to become a talent who could surpass Professor Oki.

Once again, I took the reply letter to Hanako from Oki Yukinari.

……

On summer nights, although the cool breeze blows away the temperature brought by the midday, you can still feel the stuffiness unique to summer in the room.

Lying on the bed, Shota closed his eyes and used an ancient method of falling asleep - counting sheep.

Listening to the whirring sound of the electric fan, Shota opened his eyes again, looked at the ceiling, and began to daydream.

……

Viridian City is still as prosperous as before after Team Rocket disappeared, and basically there has been no change. As for public security, there have been some problems recently. It is said that members of Team Rocket attacked the Pokémon Center. It was a three-person group, including a talking Meowth.

Hanako was strolling on the street with her parents when she suddenly thought of something and said, "Mom and Dad, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today, so I won't sleep at home."

Looking at Hanako who hurriedly got on the last evening bus, the two old men looked at each other, neither of them seeing anything in the other's eyes.

……

Shota felt that he was generally ill recently, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

Although he had used his super powers to knock himself out, he would still have nightmares after a while and then suddenly wake up.

"You are indeed there..."

Just as Shota was staring at the ceiling in a daze, the door was quietly opened.

As the bed creaked, a body fell into Shota's arms.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of that. You should be awake by now, right?"

Xia Ming could be heard outside the window, but the room seemed exceptionally quiet.

"Ah."

Feeling Hanako's body temperature, Shota felt as if he was under the spring sunshine. The wind from the fan was not hot at this time, but rather chilly.

"Well, I must be smelly, right? Why don't I go take a shower first?"

Smelling the unique fragrance coming from Hanako, Shota shook his head.

Feeling the movement of her chest, Hanako seemed to understand what Shota meant.

Unconsciously, Hanako gently stroked Shota's head with her hand and sang an unknown song.

……

Looking at Shota who was sleeping soundly through the moonlight, Hanako's eyes showed a look of pity.

"You're really like a little kid. I don't know what you've been through in the past. You seem to always be closing your heart. Recently, I often hear you calling Gardevoir's name. She must be very important to you. Will I be as important as her in the future?"

The summer chirping continued, and Hanako felt the body temperature coming from Shota. Although she felt a little hot physically, there seemed to be a refreshing feeling in her heart.

"Maybe, I will need you to sleep in the future. It seems that I have become accustomed to it."

Gradually, Hanako could no longer hear Xia Ming's voice and fell into a deep sleep.
