Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

Although there was a little accident in the middle, Xiaoguang and Xiaozhi still set off from Shuangye Town together according to the agreed time, heading towards the town closest to them, which is also the town where the Pokémon Research Institute is located-Massa Town The direction is forward.

Originally, today should be a day of departure worthy of celebration and joy, but......

"So tired..."

After walking for more than two hours, Xiaoguang finally let out such a sigh.

It's not that Xiaoguang stays at home all day and night, so he doesn't have enough energy, it's just...

"Why does traveling feel a little different from what I thought? It's so normal."

Xiaoguang told the truth about how tired he felt.

They stopped and stopped along the way, not just walking for more than two hours. Logically speaking, even if they were tired, they would not say it out loud, but for Xiaoguang, the exhaustion in his heart was far more serious than that in his body. fatal.

"Why can't we find interesting things at all?"

Xiaozhi: "..."

What should be the appropriate answer at this time?This is a problem.

"It's only been such a short time, how could you encounter any interesting things? If you can meet interesting things in two hours, then the interesting things will become boring."

"Why are you so old-fashioned?" Xiao Guang complained with his mouth pouted.

"The fact is also like this..." Xiaozhi didn't think there was anything wrong with his words. "By the way, Xiaoguang, have you ever walked from Shuangye Town to Masha Town before?"

"Before?" Xiaoguang thought for a while, and slowly replied: "I haven't done it on foot... But if I go to Zhensha Town by bicycle, I have several times, because there are more types of goods in Zhensha Town."

"That's why you feel that there is no novelty." Xiaozhi said. "If it's a place you haven't been to, you'll feel that the scenery on the road is also very strange, such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and snow-capped mountains..."

Xiaoguang, who was still tired from traveling, suddenly regained her energy after hearing Xiaozhi tell her about those places she had never been to.

"Of course, even if you are already familiar with the place, you may encounter interesting things because you find some trails, but if you want to walk the trails, it's best to stay in a town, otherwise you will easily get lost."

"Xiaolu...is it...?"

Xiaoguang thought about Xiaozhi's words, and then clapped his hands suddenly as if he remembered something.

"Ah! That's right! It seems to be at the road sign ahead, there is a shortcut leading to Zhensha Town! But because it is close to the woods, I have never been there. Let's go there this time! Okay? !"

"oki!"

Xiaoguang's proposal was quickly supported by the Long-tailed Monster Hand. It was always restless, and it would of course agree if it had the opportunity to go to a more exciting place.Contrary to what Xiaoguang and the others did, Xiaozhi and Pikachu were lost veterans after all, and they knew the risk of taking the path.

As if understanding Xiaozhi's concerns, Xiaoguang immediately added: "No problem! Many people have walked that path, and they said that there is nothing special except that there are some wild Pokémon living in it. The path is It's a one-way street, so there's no risk of getting lost!"

Xiaozhi: "...Okay, I know, don't look at me like this... The same goes for you, Long-tailed Hand!"

In the end, Xiaozhi still couldn't hold back Xiaoguang, so he could only nod and agree with her plan.

Let’s take it as special care for newcomers. After all, as Xiaoguang said, since there is no risk of getting lost, it’s good to take a small road.Although the road is flat and safe, it still lacks the vitality of wild Pokémon and is not that interesting. Xiaoguang is only going out for the first day today, so it would be nice if it could bring her some freshness.

Of course, this freshness is best not to be chased by wild Pokémon.

Xiaozhi recalled his experience on the first day of travel, and couldn't help shivering.

In this way, after Xiaozhi accepted the proposal of changing the road, Xiaoguang's spirit suddenly returned to the way he had just left the house, and he walked and ran along the way and quickly arrived at the signpost she mentioned, which is the trail entrance location.

"The road ahead has not been repaired, please proceed carefully."

Xiaozhi stood in front of the road sign, reading the warning beside the road sign, his expression became strange.

"How bad is the road condition here that you need to put such a warning sign on purpose? Is there really no problem?"

Xiaozhi cast his eyes on Xiaoguang and asked for her opinion.

"No problem, no problem!" Xiaoguang patted his chest, and said indifferently: "That road sign was made several years ago, and the middle of the road here has already been repaired, so there will be no problem !"

"yes......"

(Xiaoguang usually says that there is no problem when it is often the most problematic time.)

For some reason, what Caizi said before leaving suddenly appeared in Xiaozhi's mind.

It shouldn't be so mystical, right?

After all, Xiaozhi has been traveling with Xiaoguang for so long. During the period, Xiaoguang said that there were no problems hundreds of times. Although there were problems many times, most of them were easy to solve, just take a small road It shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Okay, okay! Don't think about it! Let's go!"

Xiaozhi: "???"

Xiaozhi looked suspiciously at Xiaoguang who hid behind him and pushed him forward.

If you want to go, go, why do you want me to go ahead?

"Hmm~ If a wild Pokémon suddenly attacks, wouldn't it be troublesome for me to walk in front? If it's Xiaozhi and you in front, at least the Long-tailed Monster Hand and Pikachu are by your side, so nothing will happen, right? .”

"That makes sense."

Xiaozhi suddenly realized.

It is true that he did not consider this point, if he had thought of this in advance, even if Xiaoguang didn't do it, Xiaozhi would take the initiative to walk ahead.

"Let's go then."

Xiaozhi shrugged his shoulders, greeted the long-tailed monster who couldn't wait to jump on the tree, and planned to step into the woods.

"Although there should be no dangerous Pokémon in the vicinity of the initial town, Pokémon such as the Big Needle Bee are special. If you see them, you should run away as soon as possible. After all, when they appear, they usually appear in large numbers. .”

"I know~ Besides, I don't dare to be arrogant in front of the big needle bee without getting the Pokémon~"

Xiaoguang puffed his face, as if he was very dissatisfied with Xiaozhi's attitude of treating himself as a child, and urged him to move forward quickly.

And when Xiaozhi took a step towards the stone ridge leading to the woods, he suddenly felt a soft texture under his feet, not the feeling of stone or mud as he imagined. His body also began to shake, and before he lasted for two seconds, he heard a scream.

"what--!"

At the first stop when he went out, Xiao Zhi fell hard on the ground.

But before Xiaozhi had time to complain about what was under there, he only heard a slight sob full of sadness and resentment coming from behind him.
