[Pokemon] Sycamore

"Although I already have Riolu, I still have to go to the doctor's research institute. It's really troublesome." Sitting in the corridor, Xiaotong was bending down to tie his shoelaces carefully, while Riolu next to him Already ready to go, he rushed to the door first and urged Xiaotong with his eyes.

"Road~~"

"Take your time, Riolu. The journey can start at any time. You don't want to miss the various beautiful scenery around you because of your eagerness, right?"

Still checking his luggage unhurriedly, Xiaotong couldn't help but admire this magical thing like a space backpack no matter how many times he used it. But when he heard Xiaotong's steady voice, he was still a little eager to use it. Oulu also slowly relaxed his mood, and ran back to the feet of Xiaotong who had just stood up, looking up at the trainer he recognized.

[Are you leaving? 】

After receiving Riolu's waveguide, Xiaotong smiled and shook his head and said, "See if you're in a hurry, OK~ let's go!" After saying that, he immediately took the lead and strode out of the house. The reason why he didn't inform his family was because, There will be a farewell party at the entrance of the village for novice trainers who have set foot in Zhenxin Town for the first time, and Salar will definitely be there as well.

......

Walking on this all-too-familiar path, Xiaotong's mentality is completely different now. When she steps out of the institute again later, she will face an unknown journey, but fortunately, she also No longer alone, Xiaotong smiled at each other and Riolu beside him, and stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the research institute step by step.

"Hey~ It's Xiaotong. Sure enough, you got there first." It seems that Dr. Omu has already prepared and is waiting for the arrival of the novice trainers.

"Hello Doctor."

"Lu~~" Riolu called out unwillingly.

"Yes, there is Riolu." Dr. Ohgi approached Riolu and squatted down. He grabbed one of Riolu's palms and kept looking at it, with an intoxicated expression like a madman.

"Oh my, my, I won't be able to do research for a long time after you leave." While tapping the bone-like structure that spread out from the back of Riolu's hand, Dr. Ohmu made a pityful tut-tsk sound, and Xiaotong has long been accustomed to strange things, and even Riolu calmly allowed Dr. Ohki to be "indecent" without showing any sign of his violent move when he saw Dr. Ohki rushing toward him.

The reason why Dr. Oak is so interested is that, unlike ordinary Riolu, Xiaotong's Riolu is not just a white round block on the back of his hand, but starts from the original block on the back of his hand. , a long strip of white bone that spreads back to the elbow, and formed a sharp protrusion at the elbow. At first glance, it looks like a pair of fingerless gloves, which is very strange, and Xiaotong and Leo Lu also tried it. This special structure can increase Riolu's attack power a lot. It only took him a year to become like this. It was not so obvious before.

"Dr. Ohmu will come back." Seeing that Dr. Ohmu had been touching for a long time without showing any sign of stopping, and seeing Riolu's little face gradually becoming impatient, Xiaotong coughed lightly with the power of telekinesis. , to Dr. Omu, it was like a thunder exploded in his ears. Riolu aimed at the moment when Dr. Omu froze, instantly pulled out his paw, and rushed up to Xiaotong's shoulder, saying Nothing will let Dr. Oak get closer.

"Ahaha~ Sorry, sorry, that's true. I wish you a smooth journey in advance. As the first novice trainer to arrive, would you like to see the three initial Pokémon first?" After Dr. Oak finished speaking, He saw Xiaotong staring at him with strange eyes, and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, you should have taken care of them a long time ago, look at my memory." Dr. Ohmu scratched his head in embarrassment.

at this time.

"Grandpa, I am the first after all. I have been staying in this research institute." Xiaomao, who had not seen him for a long time, walked down the stairs and saw him. Xiaotong said in a friendly manner. She nodded to him without any embarrassment. Over the past year, Xiao Mao's fiery temper and overconfidence had become somewhat restrained. Anyway, as long as she didn't provoke her, everything would be fine. However, Xiao Mao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Tong's expression.

"Anyway...Anyway, I can choose my partner first, grandpa? After all, Xiaotong already has Riolu." He also said hello to Xiaotong stiffly, seemingly recalling the original memories, Xiaomao He shook his head to get rid of the bad memory, and then stared at Dr. Oak, trying to get some benefits for himself.

"That's okay, but who do you want to be your initial partner?" Dr. Omu was curious about his grandson's choice.

"I've thought about it a long time ago and decided it was it!" Xiao Mao reached out without hesitation and picked up the baby ball containing Squirtle. He also thought about it for a long time before making this decision. Although Charmander is also cool, but But it is the most difficult to cultivate among the initial Pokémon. Among the remaining Bulbasaur and Squirtle, he still prefers the latter.

"Squirtle, that's a very good choice." Dr. Oak nodded and said.

Xiaomao couldn't wait to throw out the baby ball. "Come out, my baby!" A white light flashed, and a blue Pokémon appeared in the research room.

"Squirtle~" Squirtle, who had just been released from the Pokmon Ball, opened his big eyes and looked around curiously.

Walking to Squirtle and squatting down, Xiaomao smiled and introduced himself to Squirtle, "Hello Squirtle, I will be your trainer from today on."

Unexpectedly, Squirtle didn't even look at Xiao Mao. After turning around, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he saw something. Then he left Xiao Mao with an ugly face and rushed toward Xiao Tong.

"Well... I didn't know this child could..." Xiaotong looked back and forth between the stunned Dr. Omu and Squirtle, who kept shouting "Squirrel, Jenny~" in his arms with an innocent face, and her This appearance suddenly stimulated Xiao Mao's injured young mind.

"Hey! I'm your trainer, Squirtle! Come here quickly!!!" Xiao Mao yelled at Squirtle angrily. He didn't notice that Squirtle became a little frightened. On the other hand, Xiao Mao Tong frowned.

"Squirrel..."

"Xiao Mao, please be quiet!!!! You will scare it." Seeing Xiao Mao's tendency to get worse, Xiao Tong stopped him loudly and touched Squirtle's head in his arms to comfort him. Riolu, Xiaotong picked up the cowering Squirtle and came to Xiaomao, who was frozen.

"First of all, I have to explain to you that the reason why Squirtle is so close to me is because I sometimes help the doctor take care of it, so it is natural that it would take the initiative to approach me compared to you who are a complete stranger. Move your stone head before you lose your temper, otherwise you will almost mess things up like before. If you want to successfully establish the initial bond, the first impression you give to Pokémon is very important."

Angrily, he gave Xiao Mao a lesson. Seeing his somewhat regretful expression, Xiao Tong softened his tone before continuing, "Squirtle, this is your trainer. After this, you will serve as his partner and accompany him." He’s traveling together, so should we say hello to each other?”

Squirtle cautiously poked his head out of Xiaotong's arms, turned to the boy who had been yelling at it from the beginning, "Squirtle, Jenny~~~" stretched out his short forelimbs and touched Xiaomao's hand. , and finally reconciled with him.

Xiaomao blushed and hugged Squirtle back, squeaking a thank you to Xiaotong, and then rushed out of the research room without looking back, making Xiaotong shake his head again.

"I've caused you trouble again, Xiaotong, this kid Xiaomao, I think I'm going to suffer a lot in the future." Dr. Omu said with emotion as he watched the development of the matter from beginning to end.

"Then it's none of my business. It's okay to suffer a little, so that he can grow up a little." Xiaotong curled his lips and responded in an old-fashioned way.

"You~~ It's true, I won't say anything anymore."

Next, several novice trainers who were also going to start traveling this year arrived one after another. Xiaotong held Riolu and watched the trainers meet Pokémon for the first time until everyone walked out of the research institute. Only after entering the door did he say goodbye to the doctor.

"Then, I'm going to go too, doctor. Thank you for the Pokmon Ball and the Pokédex."

"Road~~~"

"Take care~~ Don't forget to send more Pokémon back to me for research!"

"I know, I know~~~." Waving to Dr. Omu, Xiaotong took out Riolu's treasure ball and held it in front of Riolu's eyes. "Then Riolu, it's up to you whether you want to come in or not."

After a little hesitation, Riolu finally decided to enter the baby ball. It didn't want to cause trouble to Xiaotong. ?

Putting away the baby ball, the moment Xiaotong was about to step out of the institute, a rapid roar came from the backyard of the institute and continued to approach, causing Xiaotong to stop involuntarily.

The next second, a figure that she was familiar with and had thought of from time to time over the past year appeared in front of her with Xiaotong's astonished expression.
