Chapter 128 — The World Championship Proposal

Sun Wuming was taken aback - if Karuna hadn't brought up this topic, he would have almost forgotten about it.

"There's no need, right? The two-month time limit hasn't expired yet, has it?"

Sun Wuming laughed cheerfully, "Though it was an interesting experience. Next time we can bet on something else."

"No, I know I lost..."

Karuna bit her lip, and after thinking for a few seconds said:

"Close your eyes."

Hmm?

As someone who had watched plenty of romance anime in his previous life, Sun Wuming could guess what Karuna wanted to do.

...

Sun Wuming wasn't like Lin Yi, who would lock up a female lead affected by an aphrodisiac and let her solve it with her ~hand.

However, he was quite tall, and for a girl like Karuna who was around 165cm, just standing on tiptoes wouldn't be enough to reach him.

So after closing his eyes, Sun Wuming also bent down slightly.

As Karuna drew closer, Sun Wuming could almost feel her warm breath on his face.

But after waiting a few seconds, the expected sensation didn't come.

It made Sun Wuming want to open his eyes to see what this girl was up to.

But his emotional intelligence wasn't so low that he would ruin the mood by opening his eyes now.

After about half a minute passed, Sun Wuming suddenly felt warmth on his cheek, and then... that was it.

What did you expect would happen?

Heaven as their blanket and earth as their bed?

Keep dreaming...

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Karuna running away like a startled deer.

Sun Wuming touched the spot on his cheek where he had been "attacked," a smile flashing across his face.

Long live the Pokémon world~

[I'm not going to film any movie...]

Sōkyō's sullen voice echoed in Sun Wuming's mind.

...

...

Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of Asagi Town to say goodbye.

Sun Wuming would take Mari and the others back to Galar.

Meanwhile, Karuna and her group would clean up the mess Lysandre had left behind.

In the morning news, the Kalos News Channel had reported to the world.

They claimed that Chairman Lysandre had unfortunately passed away, and Elite Four Malva had retired due to illness.

This immediately caused an uproar across the internet.

After all, both of them had appeared in public not long ago.

How could one suddenly die of illness and the other retire due to sickness?

However, since this was officially reported by the League.

The general public didn't suspect anything, only remarking on life's unpredictability.

But other high-ranking League officials caught a whiff of something unusual.

Thinking how could there be such coincidences in this world?

"Miss Karuna, thank you for taking care of us during this time."

Serena, who was preparing to leave with Sun Wuming for Galar, thanked Karuna.

"Yes, do your best even after leaving Kalos."

Karuna responded with a smile, but couldn't help glancing at Sun Wuming from the corner of her eye.

"This is for you."

Sun Wuming handed what looked like a stack of documents to Karuna.

"What is it?"

Karuna blinked curiously as she took it.

It turned out to be a script.

The cover page had "Detective Pikachu" written in large characters.

"Teacher, you can write scripts too?"

Serena asked in disbelief.

"Uh... just a little."

Sun Wuming didn't want to admit he had just plagiarized.

Indeed, this was a script Sun Wuming had adapted from a classic animal movie "Stuart Little" he had watched in his previous life.

Basically, he just replaced the talking white mouse from the original with Pikachu.

And changed the Persian cat to Meowth.

This should be the type of gift Karuna would love most.

Actually, at first Sun Wuming had thought about adapting "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" into "Sōkyō: A Loyal Tale."

But Sōkyō refused to do something so embarrassing, so he had to give up on that idea.

Karuna briefly looked at the script's contents and was instantly amazed.

She suddenly understood why Sun Wuming had called her movie terrible when they first met at the theater.

"Thank you~"

Karuna looked at Sun Wuming with bright eyes, and if there weren't so many people around, she might have pecked him again.

Something's fishy!

Noticing Karuna's change in expression, Mari thought suspiciously.

The fact that Sun Wuming would give Karuna a gift was already very suspicious.

And Karuna making that kind of expression only confirmed it further.

Detective Mari concluded that there must be something going on between these two!

...

...

Ten minutes later, in the Galar region.

Hammerlocke, the town closest to Slumbering Weald.

The group passed through the ring.

When she saw the familiar Postwick, the expressionless Mari couldn't help but remark:

"We're really back... so quick."

[Hoopa is amazing, right?!]

The confined Hoopa in Mari's arms said proudly.

"It's just like Doraemon's Anywhere Door."

Sun Wuming also walked out of the ring, patting confined Hoopa's little head, "Though I told you to transport us to Postwick, not Hammerlocke."

Confined Hoopa puffed up its cheeks in dissatisfaction, grumbling:

[You should be grateful you can use it at all, being so picky...]

As someone who had been a lazy bum for 100 years.

It was difficult for confined Hoopa to precisely control such long-distance transportation.

But fortunately, it wasn't too far off.

Hammerlocke was very close to Professor Magnolia's lab in Postwick, only about ten miles away.

At least confined Hoopa hadn't opened the portal in the ocean.

"Although Hoopa's ability is convenient, I still think traveling should be done step by step, otherwise it loses the meaning of the journey."

Serena shared her thoughts.

Her previous travels in the Kalos region with Sun Wuming and Mari, training along the way.

It was Serena's most precious memory in 16 years.

Of course, it would have been better if her mother hadn't been petrified.

Sun Wuming agreed with this.

It's just that he hadn't seen Hop and the others for so long, so he wanted to meet them quickly, which is why he had confined Hoopa open the transportation space.

...

...

Before long, everyone arrived at Professor Magnolia's long-missed research lab in Postwick.

Though the words "long-missed" only applied to Sun Wuming and Mari.

It was Serena and Lillie's first time here.

After knocking and receiving no response.

Mari pushed open the door and, finding the interior silent, blinked and guessed:

"Did they go out?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, the lights came on and confetti rained down, falling on everyone's heads.

Hop, Luna, Sonia, and Diancie who had been transported over last night jumped out from behind a bookshelf, showing bright smiles as they shouted:

"Welcome home!"

[Welcome home~]

And Diancie's voice was transmitted into everyone's minds through telepathy.

Mari stared blankly at them, and after a few seconds finally came to her senses, trying hard to make a smiling expression, but in the end her mouth could only twitch unnaturally.

Making an extremely awkward forced smile.

"Mari is still the same as ever."

Sonia laughed helplessly.

"We're back."

Sun Wuming walked in from behind.

The three women's eyes immediately lit up.

Hop was the first to eagerly run to Sun Wuming's front, her eyes full of excitement and admiration.

"Master!"

Sun Wuming smiled slightly, reaching out to touch Hop's tanned cheek, "Hop seems to have become even cuter."

"Master, words like 'cute' aren't suitable for describing a martial artist~"

Hop pouted slightly in displeasure.

Little did she know that expression made her even cuter.

Originally closest, Sonia hesitated, wanting to throw herself into this man's arms and tell him how much she had missed him during this time.

But she held herself back.

"Wuming is still the same, attracting pretty girls wherever he goes."

Luna walked over with an unhappy face.

At these words, Hop and Sonia also turned their gazes to the unfamiliar Serena and Lillie.

"Hello everyone, I'm 'Serena', Wuming teacher's new student."

"I, I'm Lillie, pleased, pleased to meet you."
