Cynthia tried hard to shape Flygon properly.
But the result of her efforts only made Flygon become even more indescribable.
Julian smiled and stepped forward.
"A realistic style is quite difficult. We can try starting with a cute style instead. I’ll help you."
Once he entered a professional field, Julian forgot about the difference between men and women.
He directly reached out, held Cynthia’s hands, and guided her step by step on how to shape a round, chubby Flygon.
Feeling Julian’s warm yet firm palms, Cynthia’s lips curved into a smile.
And he said he did not know how to pursue girls.
Wasn’t he actually quite good at this?
"That’s it. Have you learned it? If not, I’ll get another piece of clay and we can do it again?"
Cynthia froze.
"Ah?"
Seeing her expression, Julian knew she had not learned it.
He immediately got up to fetch more clay.
Are you really teaching?
I brought you to a pottery studio to date, not to give clay lessons!
The atmosphere had finally become a little nice, and you ruined all of it.
Just knead this lump of clay back together and do it again!
Thinking this to herself, Cynthia became a little annoyed at Julian’s wooden head.
She reached out, wanting to hit Flygon.
But when she lowered her head, this round, chubby Flygon really did look quite cute.
Cynthia could not quite bear to destroy it.
Forget it.
She would find a chance to hit Julian twice later to vent.
Julian soon returned with more clay.
"Cassia, is there any other Pokémon you want to make?"
Cynthia’s eyes shifted.
"Then let’s make a Gible."
Julian blinked.
"Sure. Gible is very simple to make."
First Garchomp, now Gible.
Cassia, just how much do you love them?
Julian guided her hand by hand, and a cute-style Gible quickly took shape.
Cynthia’s eyes lit up.
"So cute!"
"All right, let’s colour them."
Cynthia smiled and handed Gible to Julian while holding Flygon herself.
Julian had good craftsmanship, so of course Gible had to be coloured by him.
As for Flygon, it could only suffer a little.
She would also work hard to compare the colour chart and restore Flygon’s true appearance as much as possible.
After they both finished colouring, they sent the clay figurines off for firing.
The instructor smiled and said, "Firing the figurines will take two hours. During this time, you can go out for a walk and come back to collect your work in two hours."
Two hours?
Julian clenched his hands.
How should he fill those two hours?
"I know a dessert shop that tastes pretty good. Why don’t we try it?"
"Sure."
After saying that, Cynthia regretted it a little.
The dessert shop Julian mentioned would not be the one where she had wall-pinned him last time, right?
Although it was called a dessert shop, it would be more accurate to call it a café.
Julian also felt awkward, so of course he would not choose the dessert shop on the shopping street.
But unexpectedly, just as they walked near the café, Cynthia saw a cold-looking young man with blue spiky hair sitting by the window, calmly drinking black coffee.
Cyrus.
Why is he here?
Cyrus’s family and Cynthia’s family had been close for several generations.
With Cynthia’s current level of disguise, she could not possibly fool Cyrus.
Cassia being KingGarchomp and Cassia being Cynthia — Cynthia did not want either of those things exposed right now.
"I suddenly don’t feel like coffee anymore. Why don’t we go to the shop from last time? I want to try the Black Forest cake you mentioned."
In truth, Cyrus had already noticed Cynthia’s arrival.
He very much wanted to tell her that he would not expose her disguise, and she could relax and continue dating Julian.
Julian also saw Cyrus by the window and nodded to Cynthia.
"All right. I saw an acquaintance, so I’ll go say hello. Then we’ll go to that shop."
Cynthia’s heart tightened.
Could Julian’s acquaintance also be Cyrus?
No way.
No way.
Seeing Julian enter the café and walk straight towards Cyrus, Cynthia’s heart rose to her throat.
"Silas, long time no see."
Cyrus nodded.
"Julian. I didn’t expect to run into you just by coming to Veilstone City for coffee. How have you been? Has Jangmo-o evolved?"
Julian smiled.
"He evolved into Hakamo-o not long ago. I’ve also become provisional Gym Leader. How about you, Silas? Did the calming incense I gave you help you sleep?"
Cyrus rubbed his temple.
"The effect is somewhat better. I can barely fall asleep."
Cyrus’s condition was that his psychic ability was too powerful, allowing him to hear the inner voices of humans and Pokémon.
The voices constantly pouring into his mind kept him irritated at all times.
When people expressed negative emotions, they were always many times stronger than positive emotions.
The dark thoughts inside human hearts made Cyrus deeply feel the filth of the world.
Based on Cyrus’s symptoms, Julian had designed a type of incense with effects that suppressed psychic ability and induced sleep.
Although he did not know exactly how large the range of Cyrus’s ability to hear inner voices was.
Or whether it had reached Professor X’s level and could cover the entire world.
But Cyrus’s ability definitely covered all of Sinnoh.
Otherwise, Cyrus could simply hide out at sea and stop worrying about being disturbed by humanity’s evil thoughts.
It had been too many years since Julian crossed over, so he had not realised that his friend was actually Cyrus, the boss of Sinnoh’s largest underground organisation, Team Galactic.
"Since the calming incense works, I’ll prepare more for you. I read a few more old books and upgraded the formula."
"Without damaging your body, it should suppress your psychic ability as much as possible and let you sleep peacefully."
Cyrus narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Julian, please make more for me. Incense without the sleep-aid component, only suppressing psychic ability."
Julian frowned, then shook his head.
"That won’t do. If you use it twenty-four hours a day, it will definitely damage your body."
"At most, I’ll make you a year’s worth of eight-hour sleep incense and a year’s worth of four-hour work incense. That should barely protect your health."
"Then let’s do that."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Cyrus’s mouth.
He understood Julian’s personality very well.
There was no way Julian would help him make that much incense.
But if Cyrus did not say it that way, he would not even get the extra four hours of incense.
"I’ll still send the incense by courier to your home in Sunyshore City. After today’s date ends, I’ll start making it and send it over as soon as possible."
Cyrus turned his head and looked at Cynthia outside the window.
"Your girlfriend is very beautiful. You must cherish her properly."
Julian smiled and scratched his head.
"She isn’t yet. But I’ll work hard to make her my girlfriend."
Although he said such bold words, Julian really did not know how to make Cassia become his girlfriend.
Cyrus stood and patted his shoulder.
"A man must have confidence. I won’t disturb your date. Go quickly. Don’t make a girl wait too long."
"Then I’ll go first."
Cyrus watched Julian run out of the café with some surprise in his heart.
He remembered that Julian’s family, the one that ran Veilstone Gym, specialised in Fighting types.
So how had Julian awakened psychic ability?
Psychic plus Fighting Gym.
Cyrus thought of what kind of gift he should send Julian to congratulate him on becoming provisional Gym Leader.
Julian’s kind personality barely allowed Cyrus to see a glimmer of light in the darkness.
