[Pokemon] Sycamore

a few days later.

"The ice elf must protect my sister." Xiaotong scratched the chin of the ice elf lying on Salar's lap and said goodbye to the family he had lived with for a long time.

During the few days when my sister was away from home, the ice elf looked after the house alone.

Xiaotong stood in a large open space in Dr. Omu's backyard. A helicopter with a German corporate logo printed on it that had been waiting for a long time was buzzing nearby.

"Take care." Pushing Salar's wheelchair, Dawu had a smile on his face, but it could be seen that he was forcing a smile.

The condition of Salal's legs was urgent. He would never ignore the physical condition of his family members who had finally found him, but his desire to spend more time with Xiaotong was real.

If Xiaotong agrees to go back to Fangyuan with them, the matter will be solved, but...

What my sister said at the time didn't sound like a joke. She really wanted Xiaotong to join the Zivucci family through adoption.

How will the relationship between the two become tortuous in this way?

I...chasing...my sister...sounds a bit sick.

Therefore, when Xiaotong confirmed the sister relationship with Salal in a roundabout way, Daigo actually breathed a sigh of relief, but then a touch of melancholy arose in his heart.

The rumble of the engine filled her ears, and the strong wind blowing up her hair caused Xiaotong to look at Dawu's face and suddenly took a step forward.

Stretching out his hand, the originally tarnished ring on his little finger suddenly became extremely dazzling due to the reflection of the sun.

"Goodbye."

Looking forward to seeing you again.

Daigo looked at the smile of the girl in front of him and felt a little dazed for a moment.

The words Salal said to him that day at the Pokémon Center echoed in his ears again.

——With just one look, I can tell what kind of thoughts you have towards that kid Xiaotong, brother.

——But not now. From the perspective of the child’s family, I don’t agree!

Age, the crux is still the age gap between the two that cannot be ignored.

To put it in layman’s terms: You lolicon, stay away from my lovely sister!

Of course, perhaps because of her status as a member of Daigo's family, Salar did not speak too directly, but the complicated relationship between the three still made her feel a little awkward, but in the end she still cared about the underage Xiaotong. Mood took over.

If he stays any longer, I'm afraid his brother will be unable to hold back and confess his love first. This is not a good thing for a girl who has not yet formed her love concept. This is the judgment of Salal, who is eager to protect her sister.

——What are you worried about? Don’t you believe in all the capital you have, brother?

That's true, but no one knows what surprises will happen before he completely settles the relationship between the two... Daigo thought bitterly.

But thinking about it carefully, maybe I am really too impatient after all...

"If it's possible...can the previous video chat continue?"

Um?This was what Daigo heard when he escaped from his depressed thoughts.

I saw that Xiaotong's cheeks turned slightly red as he let go of his hand, but he still raised his head and looked at Daigo who looked surprised and joyful, "Well... that's right, the period of traveling with you, Daigo, is really... Very precious memories, really happy.”

"How about... having the opportunity to travel together?"

Seeing the brighter smile on Dawu's face, Xiaotong's speech became slower and slower, with a little hesitation at the end, as if he was thinking about what was wrong with what he just said.

Little did Xiaotong know how excited and happy Dawu was.

When we travel together again, there is nothing wrong with "being together" in a rounded way.

There is an opportunity, of course there is an opportunity, it is in the future.

"Can you promise me something, Xiaotong?"

Daigo looked deeply at the face of the girl in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint this deeply in his mind.

"Sure, if I can do it."

He agreed without thinking. Such unreserved trust made the smile on Daigo's face deepen even more.

"You can definitely do it."

"I know you already have your own plans for the next stop of your journey, but if you plan to set foot in Fangyuan during your subsequent travels, please let your name be known throughout Fangyuan!"

"Resounding...?" Xiaotong repeated blankly.

Each region covers a vast area. Even with such advanced technology, information circulation still takes time. If it were not a grand event like the Alliance Conference that everyone would pay attention to, it would take even longer to deliver.

The hint is obvious. Does this mean she will make big news?

"Please let Salar and I hear your name, know your message, and see your presence no matter where and whenever you want, okay?" Daigo said at the end with a bit of pleading in his tone.

Even if I can't travel with you, I still want to watch you from behind and witness you climbing to the top of the mountain.

Xiaotong couldn't help but feel moved by the natural certainty in Daiwu's words.

He really believed that he could accomplish what seemed like a miraculous feat to ordinary people.

——Dominate all alliance conferences!

The corners of her mouth rose without even noticing it. Xiaotong tilted her head slightly, her eyes shining with dazzling confidence.

"Really~ It turns out you already know my plan."

Smiling softly, Xiaotong stretched out her hand to slide her blond hair, which was blown by the strong wind, behind her ears, and then clenched her fist tightly on her chest.

It’s as if he has a firm grip on the future success!

"promised."

Salal, who had been watching the interaction between the two, was relieved.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

The activated helicopter rose rapidly. Through the reinforced glass, Salar and Daigo could still see the smaller and smaller figures underground waving their hands until the figure gradually faded away and could no longer be seen, and then the two of them withdrew their gaze.

"Salal, are you really relieved to just leave like this?"

Sitting opposite Salar, Daigo asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.

Salal did not answer immediately, but still stared in the direction of Zhenxin Town, seeming to be still immersed in the atmosphere of parting.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that she withdrew her gaze and slowly said, "There is something else I must do."

When his eyes fell on Dawu's face, Salal's expressionless cold face showed a hint of inquiry.

"Isn't it because you made such an agreement with that child at the end to prepare for the future?"

"Ah~ So you already knew it, but even if I didn't say so, this is a foreseeable result with Xiaotong's personality and strength. I just added another guarantee." Daiwu looked like he was hiding something. With an uncontrollable expression, he then turned a little more serious and asked Salal: "What I care more about is what you think."

Not only Du, Dawu was also informed of the data about Xiaotong given by Salar.

That identity was used as experimental material and fell into the hands of the Rockets. It is still unknown how many secrets and organizational transactions are hidden behind it. What Salar has to do is to return to the alliance to investigate the ins and outs of this matter and ensure that There will no longer be any organization intent on reaching deeper than it should.

Du has taken the lead to deal with it, and Salal, in addition to regaining the ability to walk freely as soon as possible, is assisting in the search.

And Salal's so-called Dawu's back-up plan is related to another aspect.

That child's real family... Daigo didn't know whether the other party had anything to do with such a complicated situation.

Did the other party never stop looking for his family like himself, or did he have some hidden secrets that caused him to know nothing about the matter? In the worst case scenario, he might even personally participate in the inter-organizational transactions as the leader.

Although they were not too familiar with each other due to the geographical relationship, based on their understanding of the person's character, the two of them felt that the last possibility was unlikely. However, they still had to make such considerations as a precaution, so they came up with it. This is Daigo's backup plan.

Rather than trying it out in person, it is better to wait for the other party to come to you.

If it was really a family member, it would be impossible for him not to recognize Xiaotong, who is active in major leagues.

Even though they have been separated for so long, the bond of family will not be easily severed by time.

Everything depends on waiting for the other party's reaction to determine more information.

"No matter what the outcome is, Xiaotong is my important sister, nothing more." In response to Dawu's inquiry, Salar answered lightly.

Yes, if Xiaotong is really wronged, she will definitely help Xiaotong vent her anger even if she doesn't know it, but if returning to her original family can make her happier...

What reason does she have for not letting go?

The scenery outside kept passing through his eyes, Salal raised the corners of his mouth, and the ice melted in an instant.
