[Pokemon] Sycamore

"It is absolutely necessary to experience taking a gondola tour around the streets of Odomale. You said you don't have a reservation? It's not difficult. I have a personal channel who can introduce it to you."

"Here, here, there is a small stall selling crepes on the corner of this place. Although it is not eye-catching, it is recognized by the residents of Odomare as the best taste. How about one?"

"Glass craftsmanship is also very proficient in this city, especially stained glass. The most famous building in Odomare, the Great Cathedral, uses a large amount of stained glass as decoration, but we will wait until the end to visit this stop. By the way As you mentioned, my grandfather works as a commentator in the cathedral, so I’ll ask him to let us visit the attic part that was originally closed later when there are fewer people.”

Walking through the alleys of Odomare, browsing the scenic spots and beautiful scenery, half a day passed before I knew it.

The friendship between girls always comes very suddenly. Although they are still a bit far from best friends, Xiaotong has established a good friendship with Kanon in this short time of getting along.

"This is my private scenic spot. The terrain here is high enough to have a panoramic view of most of the city. This angle is the most beautiful when the sun sets. How about we watch it together later?"

"If it's not too much trouble, I'll be there on time."

Colorful flower bushes were scattered on the small slope. Xiaotong felt the breeze blowing, and while admiring the city embraced by the ocean, she answered Canon with a hint of satisfaction and admiration in her tone.

If it weren't for someone who was familiar with every corner of the city to lead the way, it would have been an impossible task for her to find such a good location to enjoy the scenery when she was new to Odomare.

Seeing the joy in Xiaotong's eyes, Kanon looked away and couldn't help but smile proudly, straightening his waist a little straighter.

It is an honor for her to be loved by the beautiful city where she was born.

"Ok?"

At this time, Xiaotong seemed to have discovered something and looked at a certain location in confusion.

That was the original starting point for the water race.

"Isn't it time for the Pokémon Water Race to begin?"

"Ah~ you are talking about that." Hearing Xiaotong's question, Kanon said helplessly: "It was postponed because of the previous commotion."

"The criminal has been caught, hasn't he?"

"I didn't expect you to be so clear about it, Xiaotong." Kanon looked at Xiaotong in surprise when he heard this, and then told what he knew about the subsequent situation before Xiaotong could ask: "It seems that the atmosphere at that time has changed." It was not suitable for the opening ceremony, and the enthusiasm of the players and the interest of the audience were also disturbed, so we decided to postpone it to two days later."

"That's it..." After knowing the whole process, Xiaotong sighed.

The competition couldn't be held after all. I wonder if the child would be very disappointed...

Although they had only met once, Xiaotong cared about her very much for some reason. When Kanon led him to appreciate the scenery of Odomare, he would subconsciously look for that beautiful figure.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the golden eagle is super impressive. I really want to meet the trainer of that eagle. Thanks to him, the impact of the robbery incident did not continue to worsen and add more to Odomare. "Stain, as one of the residents of this city, it would be great if I could thank that trainer in person. I wonder what kind of person he would be?" I couldn't hear the meaning in Xiaotong's short sentence. The emotional changes, Qanon expressed his thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

She was so lost in emotion that she didn't notice the subtle expression on Xiaotong's face beside her.

"You're welcome, really."

Because I decided to take action at that time because of that person... This was the second half of Xiaotong's words that he didn't say.

"Huh?" This was the confused voice of Kanon who had not yet turned around. The next second, she turned to look at Xiaotong in confusion.

"Xiaotong, what did you just say?"

"What kind of trainer is he? Maybe you already have the answer." With a smile in his eyes, Xiaotong wondered when Kanon would react.

But what happened next completely broke the friendly interaction between the two.

"Compare--!"

Accompanied by a slightly urgent cry, a small golden dot with dazzling light in the distance quickly approached Xiaotong. Within a few seconds, the outline of the visitor could be seen.

"B-Bi Diao!? Golden one?" Kanon, who was confused, began to stutter even when he spoke.

She didn't expect that one of the protagonists of the story they were discussing not long ago would appear in front of her so suddenly.

Whether it's the golden Bi Diao, or... Bi Diao's trainer.

Kanon, who finally got a clue, looked back and forth between the two before and after Bi Diao had indeed landed on Xiaotong, seemingly still in disbelief.

However, Xiaotong, who was stripped of his waistcoat on the spot, had no intention of carefully explaining Qanon's doubts.

Xiaotong could clearly feel Bi Diao's anxiety, and that urgency was also the reason why Bi Diao, who was roaming in the sky, rushed back to Xiao Tong.

"What?!" After roughly understanding what Bi Diao wanted to express, Xiaotong's face became serious.

"Canon." Xiaotong turned around and looked at Canon. After hesitating for a while, she decided to ask the question she wanted to ask later: "Do you have a twin sister... or an older sister?"

"Hey?"

There was no expected affirmation, and Kanon's reaction was completely different from what Xiaotong had imagined, which made her frown.

"No? Then... forget it, I don't have time to explain. Come with me and you will understand." Xiaotong glanced back at Bi Diao and saw that it had no objection. Then he pulled Canon and sat on Bi Diao's broad back. .

"Hold my waist tight!"

"Xiaotong, what are you...ahhhhhhh!?" The sudden elevation of his gaze made Kanon so frightened that he hugged Xiaotong's waist tightly.

From the moment Bi Diao appeared, things began to go strangely. Before a series of questions could be understood, Xiaotong was taken up high into the sky. Canon, who had her eyes closed tightly, hugged the only support around her, frightened. Emotion temporarily replaced the confusion in his head.

"I'm sorry, because there is really no time to delay. I will explain to you later."

The wind that blew past his ears brought along the girl's apology, and the hint of comfort in her words made Canon calm down a little. He quietly opened his eyes but still didn't dare to look down. Canon still buried his head in the small book. On Tong's shoulder, he carefully asked in her ear the question she was most concerned about at the moment: "Xiaotong...where are we going?"

"Your sister... I originally thought so, because you look exactly the same. I was really scared when I saw you for the first time... Anyway, that one is in trouble now."

"I'm rushing to her now. It won't be too late to explain after the trouble is solved."

When Xiaotong felt the hands around her waist suddenly stiffen as she told her story, she knew that there must be a secret connection between the two girls who looked exactly the same that she didn't know about.

But what the hell, whatever the truth is doesn't stop her from saving people.

A trace of anger flashed in Xiaotong's eyes, just because of the message Bi Diao had just conveyed to her.

Being chased?Running away?

She was already a little concerned about it, but now Xiaotong had to admit that her affection for the mysterious girl she met by chance on the journey was really unusual.

Bi Diao, who was carrying the two people on his back, could also clearly feel the emotions of his trainer. He felt that he was right to report the news immediately after accidentally discovering something was wrong. Master Bird thought to himself, and then he Canon screamed loudly and increased his flying speed by another level.
