[Pokemon] Sycamore

"Ding dong~~"

"Dr. Omu, I'm here, please open the door for me."

Dr. Omu's Research Institute, located on the only hill in Zhenxin Town, welcomed a little guest. Xiaotong pressed the doorbell gently and then stood there waiting obediently, showing no signs of the restless behavior of ordinary children. She was holding a large basket of books, which was quite heavy for a child of her age, and her whole little face was blocked by the heavy books.

"Oh~ It's Xiaotong. It's a little late today. I thought you wouldn't come today." After a few seconds, a figure appeared on the video screen next to the doorbell. He was the master of the research institute. In the magical world Dr. Ohki, who has a great reputation in the field of baby research.

"Well, something has delayed me for a while, please excuse me, doctor." Xiaotong smiled implicitly, and Dr. Omu looked at him with emotion. It would be great if his grandson was half as sensible as a girl. Look at the two of them. At the age of [-], Xiaotong is eager to learn, and comes to him early in the morning to ask for knowledge about Pokémon. His grandson still doesn’t know when he will get up, and he often can’t find anyone, and he doesn’t know where he is running. Wild.

Not long after the screen disappeared, the iron door of the research institute was opened from the inside. "Come in quickly." Dr. Omu personally came to take Xiaotong into the research institute.

Walking on the corridor leading to the main research room, Xiaotong, who was following Dr. Omu quietly, suddenly said: "By the way, Dr. Omu, this is for you." After turning around with Dr. Omu, he saw a The iron lunch box was handed to him.

"Don't always eat instant noodles. Not only Pokémon, but humans also need a nutritionally balanced diet every day. As an authority in Pokémon research, you must understand these simple truths, right? Don't eat it every time I only focused on taking care of and studying Pokémon but forgot about myself.”

From afar, I could smell the aroma of instant noodles. Seeing Dr. Ohmu scratching his head in embarrassment, Xiaotong shook his head helplessly. Judging from her age, she looked like a young adult.

"Ah haha, I always forget to eat without realizing it, and bubble noodles are the fastest..." After saying this, seeing Xiaotong's eyes becoming unkind, Dr. Ohmu quickly changed his words: "I will pay attention. Yes! Definitely! Thank you so much for this, Xiaotong, I thank you every time." After taking it, he shook the bento in his hand. Dr. Ohki could see obvious emotion on his face. If his food could be improved, it would be in front of his eyes. It just started when this little girl arrived.

"Don't say that. I'm the one who should say thank you." After saying this, Xiaotong paused. "I've always been grateful. I just don't know what I can do to repay you. If this can help you, That would be great." If it weren't for Dr. Omu's help, she wouldn't be standing here now.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaae!? Why are you talking about this again?" Dr. Omu panicked and stopped Xiaotong's next words. This child has always been too rational and too mature to make people feel distressed.

"If you want to help, with Xiaotong's current level, he can be promoted to my assistant, which makes my daily work really much easier. Besides, I think anyone will lend a helping hand to you at that time. Oh, and Xiaotong~ If I have any requirements for you, then you must remember one thing first." Dr. Omu bent down slightly and looked at Xiaotong, whose height was only up to his waist. , I felt a little amused when I saw the girl listening seriously.

Dr. Oki deliberately coughed a few times, and then said seriously: "Just be like children of your age and play carefree. Otherwise, you can smile more. It's not a polite smile, but a sincere smile." Laughing heartily, Xiaotong will definitely look more beautiful when she smiles." Seeing that the expression on the girl's face was instantly replaced by surprise, Dr. Ohmu sighed and thought, maybe for this too precocious child, it is It's a bit difficult.

"I see."

"I mean...hey!?" Dr. Ohki, who had just been trying to find some other topic to divert the girl's attention, suddenly realized what the girl had said. He raised his head and saw a pair of Eyes full of laughter.

"Thank you, doctor." It was still a thank you, but it contained more and more than before. That was something that Dr. Ohmu would never know.

"...I really lost to you, okay~ let's start today's research topic!" Dr. Omu smiled and shook his head, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Yes!"

......

"About the evolutionary type of Eevee...the body composition is genetically unstable...there is an unknown form, and the evolutionary conditions are unknown..."

In the huge database in the research room, Xiaotong was leaning on one of the bookshelves, flipping through a record book that he had randomly pulled out. His eyes were scanning quickly, scanning one page every five seconds, making people suspicious of her. Have you really read it?

"Actually, I don't have the qualifications to condemn the doctor's diet and rest."

"Huh~ This feeling... it really feels like... just like before I turned into this little girl..."

Xiaotong's casual words seemed to reveal something, which was also one of the biggest secrets in her life.

"But... what was it supposed to look like?"

The fingertips that turned the pages of the book paused, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

"It should... be a little different. After all, everything I have now is so wonderful. I have a sister who has a cold face all day long but loves me, a doctor who cares about me, and many others who treat me kindly. The townspeople... it's such an incredible world, as if all the dark sides of society don't exist. Does it belong to... the world of Pokémon?" He supported his little head with one hand and let his golden hair fall down. By the end of the book, Xiaotong was caught up in what seemed like memories of the past.

I can still vaguely remember some trivial details.

Like:?

Huge mansion, deserted space, cold study, all kinds of servants...

Black and white, all black and white, even 'she' inside who is much taller than now is all black and white.

There is also a touch of warm color...

When those cool ice-blue eyes looked at her, the coldness in them would always dissipate as quickly as melting ice, bringing her a small amount of warmth.

It was this warmth that supported her and prevented her from panicking when facing the unknown world.

This is also the only motivation for her to occasionally try to dig out the broken memories.

"Sister...?"

The illusory image and the warmth in reality gradually merged, causing a gentle smile to appear on Xiaotong's lips without even realizing it.

Immersed in the ocean of knowledge, the air conditioner in the database continued to operate, and the suitable temperature allowed the still young girl to doze off unknowingly after spending too much energy.
