Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

"Here, what exactly is..."

In the haze, Xiaozhi opened his eyes.

I am in a completely unknown space, the space is composed of countless stars, but I can't see the border.

If I had to say it, it might be a bit similar to the universe, but it is not the universe in the usual sense, at least it does not belong to Xiaozhi's cognition of the universe.

After Xiaozhi's consciousness gradually regained clarity, countless starlights began to gradually drift towards the far end. Various colors intertwined together, converging into a bright Milky Way, and the starlight drifting towards the other end finally began to restlessly. Get up, slowly turning into a rough outline.

"Arceus?"

Although the outline is rough and difficult to recognize, it is definitely not unfamiliar to Xiaozhi.

The legendary creator god Arceus.

Absolutely can't go wrong.

Except for the meeting in Mijina, Xiaozhi also met and talked with Arceus many times in future travels.

but--

Why does the image of Arceus appear in this ruin?

Xiaozhi certainly remembered that he was brought to this space by the unknown totem, and he also remembered that the statues standing at the gate of the ruins should be Dialga and Palkya.

Is it because the unknown totem intentionally presents the image of Arceus in front of him, or is it because the ruins themselves commemorate Arceus?

Xiaozhi was also a little confused for a while.

In the distance, the figure of Arceus was still standing there, staring at Xiao Zhi.

Because it was only a rough outline, Xiaozhi couldn't tell whether Arceus in front of him was an image, nor could he see its eyes from the empty starlight.

Xiaozhi walked forward slowly, obviously within sight, but no matter how far he walked, the distance between him and Arceus' figure didn't seem to change at all.

In the empty world, only the sound of steady footsteps and breathing sounded softly.

The vast space is like a closed small room, echoing every sound of Xiaozhi's breathing and footsteps.

He was still moving forward with a clear goal, and after an unknown amount of time, the figure finally started to move.

The body composed of countless star points began to gradually dissipate again, and the starlight in the boundless space began to gather more and more, and finally they began to float towards Xiaozhi as if consciously.

Little by little.

In the end, they converged into an extremely dazzling light group.

The rays of light that bloomed from the light cluster were like swallowing a whale, completely submerging Xiaozhi's body. The moment before his consciousness dissipated, Xiaozhi, surrounded by starlight, was surrounded by countless images of his past——

From the beginning of the real new town to the final step onto the stage of the Pokémon Master Challenge.

From the encounter with Pikachu, to the end where countless companions gather around.

.......

"?!"

Suddenly, Xiaozhi opened his eyes again, the dull feeling from his chest prompted him to greedily inhale the air, and unknowingly, sweat covered his back.

"Then what is..."

The experience of being in the strange space just now still remains in Xiaozhi's mind, and his own consciousness in that space was actually rather vague.

Simple thinking can still be done, but he can't do more complex thinking, especially when he is moving towards the figure of Arceus, at that moment he seems to have lost consciousness, just walking endlessly with a single goal .

"Head hurts."

Xiaozhi sighed with emotion so feebly, when he rubbed his eyes, trying to make himself more awake, he suddenly found that his vision had turned into a clear blue.

"?!"

This is... waves—

"Well......"

"?"

Xiaozhi was just surprised by the change of the scenery within his line of sight, but at the same time, a soft hum from his side drew Xiaozhi's attention back again.

"Little Light?"

Seeing the girl sitting on the stool and sleeping next to his bed, Xiaozhi couldn't help murmuring.

After a brief shock, Xiaozhi's vision also returned to normal. When he looked around again now, he realized that he was already in the hospital, and the sky had gradually darkened.

"Did you faint all day?"

Xiaozhi sighed in a low voice, and planned to get out of bed to look outside, but this action woke up Xiaoguang who was beside him.

"Hmm...ha~~"

After waking up, Xiaoguang yawned first, and finally saw Xiaozhi who was about to get out of bed after throwing off the quilt in his field of vision soaked by the tears when he woke up.

"Xiaozhi?! Have you finally woken up? Hey, no! What are you going to do now?"

Just now Xiaoguang was pleasantly surprised and relieved by Xiaozhi's waking up, but the next moment he realized that Xiaozhi was going to get out of bed, Xiaoguang quickly stopped him.

"No... just go out for a walk, you can't stay in bed all the time, can you?"

Xiaozhi said so with a slightly strange tone.

It's just that I fainted for a long time, so I shouldn't be so nervous, right?

Just when Xiaozhi was thinking this way, Xiaoguang's next words with a little resentment made him completely stunned.

"if not?"

Xiaoguang said angrily:

"You have fainted for more than two days! Who knows if there is anything wrong with your body! If you want to be discharged from the hospital, at least you have to wait for the doctor to finish the examination and make sure you are all right!"

"Huh? Two and a half days?"

After hearing his real fainting time, Xiaozhi was completely stunned.

If I really fainted for two and a half days, that means Xiao Guang...

"You didn't just sit here for two and a half days, did you?"

At this moment, Xiaozhi finally realized something bad happened, and his tone became a little nervous.

"...Um."

Xiao Guang turned his head away, looking as if he was throwing a temper tantrum.

Xiaozhi continued to ask tremblingly:

"Then... what about the random meeting?"

"..."

A silence answered him.

......
