Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

Over the land of Sinnoh, flights from Jinhuang City in the Kanto region to the suburbs near Futaba Town in the Sinnoh region are running in an orderly manner.

Perhaps because it is a working day, there are less than half of the people in the huge cabin. A young man named Xiaozhi is sitting by the window with his head lowered as if he is sleeping. The yellow mouse creature was also lying on the boy's shoulder at this time, and fell asleep with him.

"Hmmmmm?"

The boy's brows and feet trembled slightly, as if he had had enough sleep, and he opened his eyes as if he had realized something, and the first sentence he said after opening his eyes was not a complaint or satisfaction with the sleeping state , but—

"Here, where is it?"

He frowned, not knowing where he was. After all, in his memory, the Pokémon Master Challenge was still going on at the last moment, but now he is not on the stage of the competition, but a unknown place.

Although it can be easily concluded from the surrounding environment that he is in the plane, he has great doubts about why he is here.

"Pikachu?"

Xiaozhi felt the movement from his shoulder, turned his head slightly, and saw his old partner Pikachu sleeping peacefully on his shoulder, as if he was very tired.

Seeing this appearance, Xiaozhi quickly kept quiet, but in the next second, he seemed to be in a gap, and began to cough gently.

this voice?

he thought, frowning.

His own voice didn't sound heavy, but instead had a youthful feel. With such doubts, he hurriedly looked out the window, and under the cover of a cloud, he finally saw his current appearance clearly.

This is... I... No, this is me before!

A moment of panic flashed in Xiaozhi's pupils, and the reflection on the glass was not the familiar appearance of himself in his 20s, but the appearance of himself before he grew up more than ten years ago.

dream?Or go back to the past?

He pulled his cheek incomprehensibly, the severe pain almost made him cry out, but he quickly regained his composure after noticing Pikachu from the corner of his sight.Obviously this is not a dream, the constant pain on his face tells him that the place he is in is reality, that is to say, he has traveled back to the past.

In the world of Pokémon, it is not common to travel through time and space, but it is not unusual for Xiaozhi. After all, he has traveled through dozens of times from the beginning of his travels to the Pokémon Master Challenge. The times, the number of crossings is even more than the number of times he has flown by plane.

The only difference from the previous time travels is that this time travels without any reminders, nor did he encounter any events. He doesn't know if he has any missions, and he doesn't know if he will return to that point in time again. Continue to complete the remaining Pokémon Masters Challenge.

"Whoo~"

Xiaozhi took off his hat, and scratched his hair a little irritably, the expression when he sighed maturely didn't match his immature appearance at all.

"I'm really not reconciled..."

He muttered in a low voice, looking at the scenery outside the window, his thoughts were lost for a while.

Obviously, he is only one step away from becoming a Pokémon master, as long as he defeats Dandi again, he will succeed, but why would he cross at this time?What is the meaning of this crossing?

He couldn't understand.

This kind of endless time travel makes him very puzzled. In Xiaozhi's opinion, even if he wants to time travel, he must at least give a reason, right?Just like I did back then, who am I going to help?Or as a witness or participant to experience some event?

The goal is only clear when there is a reason, otherwise, who can cheer up for an illusory factor that has not yet been determined?Even if he is born an optimist...he really doesn't want to experience the feeling of being one step away from his dream and losing it.

"Susu~"

"Ok?"

At this moment, Xiaozhi seemed to hear something coming from the backpack he put on the seat next to him, and he picked up the backpack with some doubts.

A bit heavy.

he thought so.

With a little curiosity and apprehension, Xiaozhi slowly opened the zipper of the backpack, and then a... tail like an arm?Protruding out from inside, Xiaozhi was taken aback by the truth, and the hand holding the backpack loosened unconsciously.

The backpack fell to the ground, and then a mournful cry came from inside.

"o~ki?!"

"Ok?"

The familiar voice must have been heard somewhere.

The first thing Xiaozhi thought about was this voice, but then he realized what that strange tail was.

"Long, long-tailed monster hand?!"

With an unbelievable voice, Xiaozhi called out the name of the Pokémon hidden in the backpack.

"o~ki?"

After hearing Xiaozhi's shout, the long-tailed monster's hand got out of the backpack, and it had a smile on its face that seemed never to fall into a low mood. Even after it was discovered, the long-tailed monster's hand still Still no embarrassment or any apologies.Facing Xiaozhi's seemingly bewildered gaze, it just jumped onto Xiaozhi's other empty shoulder with a smile, and then stretched out its palm-like tail to snatch Xiaozhi's hat and put it on. own head.

"pi~pika~?"

This kind of movement naturally woke up Pikachu. Pikachu opened his eyes and looked at Xiaozhi, then turned his head and saw the long-tailed monster grimacing at him. The only sleepiness left in his mind Also instantly cleared.

"pi~ka?!"

Pikachu was startled and fell off Xiaozhi's shoulders. After falling to the ground, it rubbed its own butt while watching the Long-tailed Monster Hand with Xiaozhi's same eyes, as if wanting to ask why it was here.

"o~ki!"

The long-tailed monster jumped onto Xiaozhi's head and lay down on his stomach in the next second, and continued to make faces at Pikachu, looking smug, like a child who saw his prank succeed.

......

Long tail monster hand, so here it is...

The Long-tailed Monster Hand is "friendly" interacting with Pikachu, but Xiaozhi's thoughts have drifted to the mainland under the window.

The Sinnoh region, he will never forget what happened in this region.

This is the first area where he fully matures in a Pokémon battle.

This is the first time he has completely transformed his fetters into strength.

This is the first time he has fielded veterans in an official league game.

This is the region where he has won the Final Four for the first time.

This is the first time he has come closest to a victory.

This is......

For the first time in an area where he was genuinely and viscerally upset after a major league game.

And now that he has future experience and memories, although many memories about the Sinnoh area are somewhat blurred, it doesn't matter... This is just the time to experience the original feeling with a new mood.

only?

Eh?By the way, did I go to the Sinnoh area by plane?Why do I always remember that I went there by boat?

Xiao Zhi, who was sitting in his seat, fell into a brand new doubt.

.......
