[Pokemon] Sycamore

"Eh──!!!?"

Early in the morning, desperate roars came from the Pokémon Center in Joban City.

"How come... Xiaotong actually set off first?! I haven't even asked her if she wants to travel with me!" Xiaozhi put his hands firmly on the counter, with an unbelievable look on his face, as if he was about to take the world It's the end.

"Miss Joy! Excuse me... Uh-huh!?" Before Xiaozhi could continue to complain, he was pushed away hard, and the culprit was Xiaoxia.

"Excuse me, do you know when Xiaotong will set off and where is the destination, Miss Joy?" Xiaoxia's tone was even more anxious than Xiaozhi. After the observation the day before, Xiaotong was millions more reliable than Xiaozhi. Times.

"Please...please wait a moment, I will answer the questions one by one." Miss Joy looked at the two living treasures in front of her with a cold sweat, barely maintaining her professionalism, and tapping quickly with her hands The computer keyboard searches the records.

"Found it. Your friend took her Pokémon back around five o'clock and set off just as the sun was rising. I seem to have heard her say that her destination is Nibi City, where the next gym is located."

"Nibby City!" Xiaozhi clenched his fists, burning with fighting spirit. "Okay~ Pikachu, let's aim there too! Move towards the first badge!"

"Pi~Pikachu~~" After yesterday's incident, Pikachu finally no longer rejected Xiaozhi.

"Hey! I agreed to pay for my bicycle!!!"

Following Xiaotong, Xiaozhi and his party also embarked on the journey.

-----------------------------------

Still within the confines of Viridian Forest, Xiaotong deliberately set off one step early. She didn't want to travel with others at the beginning of the journey. She also wanted to experience the fun of traveling alone. Besides, training would be better if she had a companion by her side. It became a bit troublesome, after all, her training methods were a bit shocking.

The calm road was not as noisy as yesterday. The road was full of unicorn beetles and green caterpillars crawling leisurely. There were no interesting things happening as expected at the beginning. Xiaotong just walked in the forest and enjoyed the rare experience. of tranquility.

"Jiwan Forest~ Since it is named after a city, there should be something special about it." Xiaotong bathed in the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, raised his head and squinted his eyes, thinking about something.

"The meaning of travel is to visit all the undiscovered places in person, right? Riolu, right?" As Xiaotong finished speaking, one of the Pokmon Balls in his waist suddenly opened. There was a flash of light and Riolu ran out on his own.

"Road~"

"You agree, Riolu! Then we will..."

"Bobo~~" Before Xiaotong could finish speaking, the mottled tree shadows reflected on the ground suddenly disappeared, and bursts of chirping came from above their heads. When Xiaotong and Riolu looked up, they found groups of people. The groups of Bobos and the unusually large flock of Pidgeots flew in the same direction.

"...It seems we don't have to find out by ourselves, interesting things have already come to us." Despite Xiaotong's indifferent attitude, in fact, she is very passionate about pursuing the unknown, just like reading a book can Continuously acquiring new knowledge, this kind of journey is more like exploring the famous wordless book of the world for her.

"Way──!" Riolu is ready!

......

Following closely the Bobo group's flight path, they used their powerful body functions to overcome various obstacles in the forest, and finally arrived at the Bobo group's destination smoothly.

A large, seemingly steep valley.

"Lulu~lulu──!" Riolu pointed at the entrance of the valley, and saw a strange scene taking place.

One by one, the Bobo and Bibi birds were flying in the opposite direction against the strong wind blowing from the valley. Most of them could hardly last more than 10 minutes, and were immediately blown backwards by the strong wind. It rolled into a pig, but in the next second, the vacant position was filled by more Bobo and Bibi birds.

Judging from the number, it is estimated that all the bird Pokémon in the Viridian Forest are gathered here. No wonder the Viridian Forest has become a paradise for insect elves among the general population. The route here is too rugged and impossible for ordinary trainers to reach. Of course, no one knows that this sky exists.

"What are you doing, everyone?" Xiaotong asked doubtfully.

[Would you like to...use a waveguide to investigate? 】At this time, Riolu made a good suggestion.

"That's all we have to do, let's go and explore first." Xiaotong is not a hot-blooded fool like Xiaozhi. Even if she wants to explore new things, she will try to minimize the risk.

Xiaotong picked up Riolu and closed his eyes at the same time. He saw an energy centered around the two of them that was completely imperceptible to ordinary people and surged towards the valley.

After a while, several intermittent black and white images appeared in their minds. The strong wind pressure still had some impact on the waveguide, and the images were a bit unclear.

There are ordinary rock walls, occasional small streams of water flowing through the rock cracks, and strangely shaped rocks. So far, there is nothing eye-catching.

"It's normal. What do the Bobos want... what is that!?" Xiaotong almost missed the scene that flashed by for a moment. He tried hard to maintain the waveguide. Xiaotong cooperated with Riolu to stabilize the waveguide at a certain point. one place.

"What a weird tree, what's growing on it?" What impressed them was a bare tree with almost no leaves and only a few branches. What's even more special is that there is an obvious tree. The lump was attached to the smallest branch, and it was impossible to tell what it was through the black and white image seen through the waveguide.

"Maybe we found the reason, Riolu?"

"Road~~"

Now that they had a clue, Xiaotong and Riolu quickly decided to move towards the valley. As expected, they were attacked as soon as they entered the territory of Bobo and Bibi Bird.

Bobo and the Bibi birds, who were still fighting the strong wind, had no energy to pay attention to her for the time being, but the ones hovering around were not polite. They saw the Bibi birds and Bibi birds swooping down towards them like a rain of arrows.

"Today's training begins with Riolu, improve your dodge ability!" Maintaining the minimum dodge, Xiaotong easily told Riolu today's goal, and by the way, he released the Charmander and brought him with him. After the Charmanders, who were still confused about the situation, adapted for a while, Xiaotong asked them to complete the tasks she assigned.

"What!?"

"road!"

It wasn't always so smooth. After the initial nervousness, Charmander and Riolu's physical strength and concentration gradually became insufficient, and scars began to appear on their bodies.

"Excessive waste of physical strength will not last long. Try to use the least force to make the opponent pay the heaviest price. Don't rely too much on your own special features." He continued to demonstrate and warn them from the beginning to the end. Xiaotong seemed to be riding on the wind. Generally drifting, dancing-like steps dodged the Pidgeots and Bobos one after another, as leisurely as if they were taking a walk. Due to the reasonable distribution of physical strength and strength, the consumption can be said to be minimal.

The sky gradually darkened, the dusk sun slowly set in the west, Charmander and Riolu had been training for a while, and Bibi and the others slowly discovered that these three outsiders did not want to move on. Meaning, it slowed down the pace of the attack.

"That's it, go back to the baby ball and rest." Looking at Riolu and Charmander who were already exhausted and relying on perseverance to hold on, Xiaotong decisively took them back.

Seeing that the number of attack targets was less than half, Bobo and Bibiniao no longer wanted to pay attention to Xiaotong, and finally gave up advancing into the valley and went to rest in their respective nests in the forest.

......

"road!?"

"Milly!"

"Be patient, you'll be fine soon." This is Xiaotong who is helping Charmander and Riolu clean up their wounds.

"We will continue tomorrow." Xiaotong decided on the training menu without any hesitation. She would never be soft-hearted about training them.

To Xiaotong's relief, she received two powerful calls in response.

After they had eaten and drank enough, she took them back into the Pokmon Balls. In addition to the information she had discovered today, Xiaotong also cared about one more thing. She walked alone to a cliff not far from the camp, just in time to With a panoramic view of the valley, the front of the valley, which was originally densely populated with bobos and pigeons, was now almost empty, with only the howling wind raging.

It's almost because there is still a young figure still working hard.
