[Pokemon] Sycamore

"The mysterious crystallization phenomenon that has started since Dr. Shuri disappeared, and the appearance of Emperor Yan. I think all the answers are related to the unknown totem."

Everyone gathered in the research room specially provided for Dr. Oak by the Pokémon Center. Dr. Shuri's assistant, John, was explaining some of the clues he had.

Although it is the subject of research between master and disciple, the existence of unknown totem is too mysterious. No one knows what kind of energy it contains, and John can only make bold guesses.

After all, he had witnessed everything with his own eyes at the beginning of the change in the Xiuli Mansion, and the sight of unknown totems playing around his mentor's daughter, Xiaomi, was still vivid in his mind.

"Xiaomi probably occupies a considerable incentive among them."

"How do you say this?" Dumo asked thoughtfully, smacking his chin.

Salar, who was sitting quietly beside her, left the initiative to Watanabe without saying a word, and beside her, Daigo, who was leaning on the armrest of the sofa with his arms folded, was equally silent. The brother and sister now feel almost 100% sync.

I don’t know what the two people who reunited after a long separation said during the period when Daigo was moved back to the room until he woke up. Ever since he walked out of the room, anyone with a discerning eye could see the bitterness on Daigo’s face. Until Now I have finally recovered a little, but I have become a little more taciturn.

But at least, the initial impatience has eased a lot, and now being willing to stay in the Pokémon Center to discuss countermeasures is proof of restraint.

"This is..."

"Didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi..."

Before John could give an explanation, the computer interface that Dr. Ohki was operating suddenly received a message notification.

It wasn't a big deal at first, but when the person on the other end of the call showed Dr. Shuri, it was very intriguing.

Everyone looked at each other, Dr. Omu nodded, and solemnly pressed the connect button.

"Zi~——!"

The disturbing noise lasted for a while, and a surprising face appeared on the screen.

It is also one of the objects that everyone was discussing just now.

【Don’t destroy Xiaomi and sister’s home! 】

The soft children's voice echoed through the speakers in the small room. Even if it was not clear enough, it was enough for everyone to understand in this silent moment.

Especially the Zivucci brothers and sisters were staring at Xiaomi on the screen, but their attention was not on the girl who was speaking.

Instead, the hands holding Xiaomi and the figure leaning behind Xiaomi can only be photographed below the shoulders.

Even if they couldn't see the whole picture, how could the two of them not recognize the important person they spend every day with?

[Xiaomi doesn’t want anyone else!As long as my father and sister are together, that's enough! 】 Xiaomi said, rubbing the palm touching her head and smiling happily.

[As long as everything stays like this, Xiaomi is very happy and no one should come in to disturb me! 】

Snap!The video suddenly cut off, and the room fell silent again, with no one making a sound.

What broke this dangerous balance was the furniture and decorations in the room that began to shake violently! ?

"Calm down Salar!" Daigo put a hand on the shoulder of his trembling sister, who was full of anger, to stop her overflowing power, but only he knew that his heart was not calm at this moment either.

"Is that the child you are looking for? I'm so sorry..." John looked at the two people's almost murderous eyes and said guiltily: "It seems that my guess has become a fact, Mr. Du."

"The reason why Xiaomi is said to be the trigger may be because the unknown totem senses Xiaomi's strong emotions and responds to the call in her heart. According to the limited research results, maybe... no, judging from the current situation, this happens to be true. The result - the unknown totem has the ability to manifest people's wishes. Through the totem slate I brought back, I was summoned to Xiaomi's side, answered Xiaomi's wish, and brought her family back..."

"That's Xiaotong, right?" Hanako, who was also worried, suddenly interrupted the topic. "The sister she mentioned... the figure holding her just now must be Xiaotong. After all, Xiaomi's child has been very attached to Xiaotong since before. .”

As she spoke, Hanako took out the photo.

That was a souvenir photo taken with Dr. Shuri and his family in the green field. It was exactly the same as the one in the photo frame in Xiaomi's room.

"At that time, in addition to Emperor Yan who abducted Xiaotong, many unknown totems also emerged from the black hole. They didn't know what they did to Xiaotong, causing her to faint in the blink of an eye." Daigo looked calm, as if he didn't really want to recall it. The initial powerlessness.

"Since it can cause such an incredible phenomenon, it is not impossible to control Xiaotong's spirit." Dr. Ohmu frowned with his hands folded across his chest.

John listened to everyone's words and suddenly said: "But...who does dad refer to?"

In the scene just now, except for Xiaotong and Emperor Yan, no one else was found.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Standing up straight on the ground, Dawu turned around and walked out the door after saying this. Rarely, Salal did not stop his action.

"Wait! It's too foolhardy to break in now!?" John said in a panic.

"No, this is just right. You know everything you need to know. There is no point in waiting any longer."

Watari stopped the assistant who still wanted to persuade, waved his crimson cloak, and before following Daigo's footsteps, he first explained the next preparations: "Dr. Omu, I have something I can ask you to help me with. busy?"

"Ah? Oh...oh! If there is anything I can do to help, just ask." After being stunned for a moment, Dr. Omu quickly agreed.

"Can you please come forward to stop the news station's photography?"

"It's okay, but what's the purpose of doing this?"

"It would attract the attention of the kid named Xiaomi and even issue a warning notice. I think it was through Dr. Shuri's computer that I learned about today's crystal eradication operation from the TV station's online report."

Du continued solemnly: "If our next actions are exposed under her eyes, the mission will probably only become more difficult. The only person here who has such weight and can persuade them is you, besides me and Daigo."

"...I know." Dr. Oki nodded solemnly and promised. Indeed, only he can do this job. After all, the two champions Watanabe and Daigo are not suitable to come forward as the main force in the rescue.

After explaining to Dr. Omu, Du turned his head and said, "Salal, you..."

"I want to go too!" A sonorous voice interrupted Du's hesitation, and Salal, the former combat tyrant of the alliance, used his telekinesis to lift himself up without saying a word.

"In order to move freely, I have practiced hard in the past few years and mastered this power. I have also studied the movement methods of super-powered Pokémon. It will not be in the way, absolutely!"

"The Snow Witch is back too. With her here, is it enough to reassure you?"

"...Okay then." Knowing that any more words now would be in vain for an irritated girl. Seeing that Salal had no difficulty in moving except that his feet could not touch the ground, Watari could only Find a way to focus more on Salal in the next move.

In addition, the Snow Demon Girl was also picked up through Daiwu without disturbing others for the time being. Just like crossing over to Kuailong, she reunited with Salal, her best partner, after a long absence and saw her deep feelings for training again. When she was at home, of course she wanted to stay with her every step of the way, and would never be separated again no matter what.

At the same moment, located at the highest point in the crystal tower...

"That's it, sister~ No one will bother us anymore, right?"

After Xiaomi turned off the communication, she immediately turned around, threw herself into the arms behind her, and hugged Xiaotong's waist tightly.

"...Hmm." In response to Xiaomi's question, Xiaotong made a soft nasal sound, and Xiaomi naturally took it as an affirmation of her actions, and her smile became even brighter.

"We must always be together and don't leave Xiaomi's side... okay?"

["As long as it is what Xiaomi wants."]

A deep and young voice sounded almost at the same time, echoing in the empty room along with the girl's cheerful laughter.
