Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

After winning the gymnasium battle, Xiaozhi still couldn't get any useful props this time. He thought it would be great if he could get the key stone.

Are random things really too pretentious?But my luck should not be bad, right?Except for things that are more likely to cause trouble.

After waking up the next day, Xiaozhi sat on the bed and kept complaining in his heart.

However, although the results of this gymnastics battle were mediocre, at least last night when he was practicing with Yuqi Itachi, the baby dragon finally completed a period of evolution and evolved into a crustacean. After that, the crustacean can stay in Damu Precipitation continued in the doctor's research institute.

Speaking of which, the taste of the baby dragon seems to have become weirder after it evolved into a crustacean. Specifically, it should be... more spicy?

In order to satisfy its evolved taste, Xiaozhi stayed late in the kitchen of the Pokémon Center last night in order to study the preferences of the crustacean.

It was only after he failed many times, and finally found that the crustacean started to nibble on the spicy tomato fruit, that he probably realized the strange taste of the crustacean.

As Xiaogang said, its taste deviates too much from the taste of most dragon Pokmon.

......

After some washing, Xiaozhi and the others wandered around the wetland city for another morning.

Probably just walk around the shops in the wetland city, buy some local specialties, and purchase some ingredients.

But this time their food reserves are more abundant than before, because they are going to head towards Tianguan Mountain next time. Based on their experience that they will get lost every time they go on the mountain road, Xiao Gang believes that more abundant food materials are necessary.

Otherwise, judging from the geographical location of Tianguan Mountain, if the ingredients are exhausted at that time, it may not be easy to find some wild berries in it.

......

"Is that all right? No matter how many words you have, you won't be able to recite them."

After the purchase was over, the backpacks of Xiaozhi and the others were much heavier than before.

Xiaoguang tried to lift Xiaogang's backpack, but when she found that it was not moving at all, she couldn't help but say so.

"Huh? Is that so? I feel like I can store a lot of things, but after all, there will be many other small towns in the middle, so there is no need to buy too much."

Xiaozhi also followed Xiaoguang's example, shaking Xiaogang's backpack in his hand a few times, and then said so.

Xiaoguang: "..."

"But then again, where did Xiao Gang go?"

As Xiaozhi said this, he looked into the Pokémon Center. Before Xiaogang said that he would first ask Ms. Joy for a map of the inside of Tianguan Mountain specially provided to trainers, but he has not seen anyone yet.

"Hey~ It's good to just wait at the same place anyway~ But having said that, I am quite looking forward to going to Tianguan Mountain! I was born and raised in the Sinnoh area, but I have never been to Tianguan Mountain before. No matter how you think about it, it's too weird!"

Xiaoguang said so angrily.

It is said that Sinnoh originated from Tianguan Mountain, and countless legends and fairy tales were also born in Tianguan Mountain. Xiaoguang herself likes to travel and take risks, so it is not difficult for her to feel yearning and longing for Tianguan Mountain. .

but--

"Whoever makes Tianguan Mountain's range too large, even if the alliance makes a move, it will not be able to guarantee the safety of Tianguan Mountain."

"That's right! My mother said the same! Really, they are too worried! Even if I didn't have Pokémon back then, as long as I travel in the small town near the foot of the mountain, it won't be dangerous! After all, I go there every year There are a lot of people traveling!"

"No, no, even the foothills will encounter danger. No one can guarantee whether there will be some powerful wild Pokémon coming down the mountain road."

"Hey~ will this really happen!"

Xiaoguang pouted to express disappointment.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi just smiled, anyway, they are about to enter Tianguan Mountain, and Xiaoguang will understand the situation inside when he sees it with his own eyes.

But Tianguan Mountain......

Xiaozhi looked up at the sky and couldn't help thinking with some emotion.

Although their journey was still the same as before when they reached Wetland City, he still remembered that they did not go directly to Tianguan Mountain after the gymnasium challenge in Wetland City, but headed in the direction of Yuanzhi City first. , the purpose is to challenge Miss Melissa who has not been in the gym.

During the period, they also took part in the summer lectures held by Dr. Yamanashi.

If you go directly to Tianguan Mountain now, those incidents should not be repeated again.

"Sure enough, the impact is still great~"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Hearing Xiaozhi talking to himself, Xiaoguang couldn't help turning his head and asking.

"No, nothing."

Xiaozhi replied, and then the automatic door of the Pokémon Center slowly opened, and Xiaogang, who hadn't seen him for more than ten minutes, came out with a silent expression.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

It seemed to be a similar question, but this time it was asked by Xiao Zhi.

"That...how should I put it...Actually..."

With a somewhat strange tone, Xiaogang recounted to Xiaozhi and the others what he had just encountered in the Pokémon Center.

.......

"Huh?" x2

"Pika~?"

After listening to Xiaogang's retelling, not only Xiaozhi and Pikachu also expressed surprise.

"you say......"

"Sinnoh Now, have you prepared the content of the interview and the song program?"

"um, yes......"

In fact, just after Xiaogang got the detailed map of Tianguan Mountain from Ms. Joy, Ms. Joy suddenly realized that she had received a forwarding call to Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang.

After all, Ms. Joy had registered the check-in status of several people, so she knew that Xiao Gang and them were traveling companions, so she asked Xiao Gang to answer the phone.

The following content is probably that Yuxiang, a reporter from Sinnoh Now, said that all the preparations have been completed, and now the arrival of Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang, who are the protagonists, is missing.

"I didn't expect it to be before going to Tianguan Mountain..."

Xiaoguang's tone seemed a bit regretful, after all, she had already made full preparations for going to Tianguan Mountain, but now Xiaogang told her that they had to go to another town first to complete the shooting project of Sinnoh now.

"So where are we going...?"

Xiaozhi asked this, but he already had a bold guess in his heart.

"Uh... actually... the City of Fate..."

I guessed it.

Xiaozhi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Could it be that this is also a great fate?

……

For the rest of the journey, Xiaozhi's idea is to return to the original road, so as to avoid getting lost.

It's just that his claim was vetoed by Xiaoguang, and he couldn't set off for Tianguan Mountain immediately, and now he has to go back the same way, which is really boring.

So she called up a rough map from the Pokémon watch, saying that she could take a shortcut and go back on the mountain road, which would be faster and more interesting.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang argued about this issue, and Xiaogang later agreed with Xiaoguang's idea.

On a normal day, he would definitely agree with Xiao Zhi's proposition, but today is different.

because--

He has already bought so many ingredients suitable for cooking in the mountains. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't take the mountain road?

Although these ingredients can be cooked into the same dishes in the plains and swamps, the mood when enjoying the dishes is different in different environments.

Two votes to one, with Pikachu abstaining.

In the end, Xiaozhi and the others still followed the mountain road drawn by Xiaoguang on the map and moved forward in a zigzag manner.

And as expected, on the second day after they set off, Xiaozhi and the others got lost in the mountains.

What happened afterwards was similar to the past, but not exactly the same.

The similarity is that in the process of their getting lost, Xiaoguang tamed the little boar in a villa as in the past.

The difference is that Xiaozhi did not meet Xiaomao, nor did he obtain the sharp teeth, the props for Scorpio evolution.

If the time is really the same, where will Xiaomao be now?

Xiaozhi has such a question, but he doesn't know who to ask for an answer.Although he is not a Pokmon trainer, Xiao Mao is more difficult to contact now than when he was a Pokmon trainer.

Researcher is so busy.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

.......

"Hmm~ It feels good to be back in Yuanzhi City after a long time~!"

Finally, Xiaozhi and the others returned to Yuanzhi City from the lost state. Xiaoguang, who came out of the mountain and felt the beauty of the city, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and shouted loudly with open arms.

Of course, Xiaozhi understands that Xiaoguang is not only feeling the beauty of returning to the city, but also...

"Hmph~ After subduing the little wild boar, my lineup of performances in the future gorgeous competition has expanded again!"

really.

Seeing the way Xiaoguang picked up Xiaoshanzhu's Pokémon ball and rubbed it on his cheek, Xiaozhi thought so.

It's just that compared to the performance in the first round, after the final evolution, the little mountain pig can still show its strength better in the second round of the battle.

"So where are we going next? Go to the Pokémon Center to contact Ms. Yuxiang and the others?"

Looking at Xiaoguang immersed in excitement, Xiaozhi didn't choose to disturb her, but looked at Xiaogang and asked.

"Hmm...should we go to Yuanzhi Cafe first? On the phone, Ms. Yuxiang said that they would wait for us in the cafe every day. We just need to go to them directly when we arrive in Yuanzhi City."

Xiaogang looked for the location of Yuanzhi Cafe on the map, and then walked ahead to lead the way.

.......

"Ding bell~"

"Welcome, are you three?"

"We are looking for someone, may I ask Sinnoh Now... um, is Miss Yuxiang here?"

When he came to the coffee shop, facing the reception from the waiter, Xiao Gang asked.

"Ah~! Is that Miss Yuxiang? They are in the box every day, so let me lead the way."

"?"

Xiaozhi and the others looked at each other, and it was not difficult to see the doubts between them.

What about the box?

Should it be called a cafe in Enno City?There are even boxes.

But just waiting, is it really necessary for them to stay in the box?

With such doubts, Xiaozhi and others followed the waiter to the box where Yuxiang and the others were. They gradually understood everything after the waiter knocked on the door and got a response and opened the door.

"Ah~ It's just in time! I'm sorry, please give me three more desserts for the dessert we ordered just now! For the coffee, I also have one each, and then... huh?!"

Yuxiang thought the waiter was the only one who came, but when she turned her head and saw Xiaozhi and the others following the waiter, the smile on Yuxiang's face froze.

Those colleagues who often acted with Yuxiang also showed the same expression.

"That... ahem! You are here!"

Yuxiang only showed her usual professional smile at this moment, trying to bring back the atmosphere, but the eyes of Xiaozhi and the others would still unconsciously glance at the table in the box.

So many plates and cups.

This was Xiaozhi's first thought.

No wonder they would open a separate treasure chest to wait for them. It turned out that they were here to eat freely.

Before Yuxiang explained, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang quickly understood the current situation, unlike Xiaoguang who had never experienced anything in the world.

When meeting the slightly speechless eyes of the two, Yuka's smile became more and more awkward, and finally she lowered her head and said weakly:

"Bi, after all, such an opportunity is rare... It's a rare opportunity for the boss who has always been stingy to reimburse all the expenses of the operation, so let's just... a few of you shouldn't mind?"

Yuxiang raised her head again, seeing that Xiaozhi and the others were still silent, so she continued:

"The dessert here...is delicious, you can order it as you like, as long as you can help us smooth things over afterwards..."

"..."

Although their original intentions were not the same, but since Yuxiang has said so, they are not polite.

.......

"So everything...ahem...has been decided?"

While enjoying the dessert in the box, Xiao Zhi asked about the show.

"Uh-huh!"

At this moment, Yuxiang, who was asking for Xiaozhi and the other two, seemed very obedient, she sat on the sofa and kept nodding her head.

"You don't need to be nervous. In the first part, just answer what the program group asks! Don't worry about the singing part. The song is not difficult. It's a chorus song. You need to be familiar with the melody a few times and sing it fluently. That's it! Just leave the rest of the work to the tuner!"

As if worried that Xiaozhi and the others would suddenly regret it now, Yuxiang's tone seemed very sincere.

"Well, if it's really that simple, it's nothing."

"I'm looking forward to being on TV! And it's also a program of Sinnoh Now!"

After Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang finished answering one after another, Yuxiang's nervous mood finally relaxed. The next thing to do was to take the two of them to the filming location of the show, and then contact the TV station.
