[Pokemon] Late Autumn

Tie Xuan's words made Shen Qiu stunned on the spot.

After thanking Mr. Tie Xuan, Shen Qiu felt that she should have a good talk with Riolu. Seeing this, Dawu stopped disturbing her and stayed in the gym chatting with Tie Xuan.

In fact, he had already noticed that there might be some problems with the way Shen Qiu and Riolu got along. Unfortunately, there was never a suitable opportunity to talk about it. Seeing their tacit cooperation, he just shook his head and stopped caring about it.

I believe they will find the problem sooner or later in late autumn and solve it reasonably.

Unexpectedly, this time, Tie Xuan pointed out the problem directly and said what he had never said.

Daigo stared at Miqiu's leaving figure and sighed softly.

"It's okay, that kid of yours will definitely be able to handle it." Tie Xuan patted Dawu on the shoulder.

"Ah, I believe her." Dawu looked at Tie Xuan seriously, "Thank you this time."

"After all, I am also the gym leader."

Late Qiu took back the confused Young Tooth Dragon, sent Heiluga to the Elf Center in a daze, and walked out silently, without looking like he had defeated the gym.

Miss Joy thought she had failed in her challenge to the gym and asked her worriedly what happened. She was silent for a long time, and in the end she just curled her lips weakly, waved her hand and walked out with Riolu.

Riolu looked up at her from time to time, his eyes worried, but looking at Shen Qiu's silent look, he didn't know what to say for the first time.

There is a river running through Zijin City. Late Qiu looked at the water surface that connected with the sky in the distance. It took a long time before he softly said, "Riolo, let's chat."

Riolu nodded, followed Shenqiu and sat down on the shore, and looked into the distance quietly.

However, Shenqiu couldn't calm down in her heart for a long time. Tie Xuan's words kept echoing in her mind:

"Riolu shouldn't treat you the same way you treat me."

How does she usually treat Riolu?

Care about it, take care of it, carefully arrange special training tasks, and cook a delicious meal in your spare time...

But these don't mean anything.

"Thank you...for everything you've done for me."

"I won't let you down."

That’s right, there’s something missing——

Riolu usually addressed her as you, and she didn't find it strange because she would also address other people like this, so she didn't take it to heart. But after Mr. Tie Xuan's reminder, she suddenly woke up.

It's okay for her to call others, and it's okay for Riolu to call others, but when it comes to how Riolu calls her, there's a big problem.

This means - not close, companionship.

"She is always modest, cautious, gentle and polite at school in late autumn... Although this is good, there is always a feeling of distance."

"Hmph, she's obviously about the same age as us, but she has to put on that look and put on a show to make the teacher like her..."

"That little girl is very polite, but she is too polite and distant... Huh? No, I just feel that she uses too many honorifics, hahaha... In late autumn, she seems to be the best when she is with Alice, Acorus and the others. Let it go."

"That child...even though he didn't say anything, he still felt uneasy about the unknown past."

Whether it's the teachers, classmates, people from the Dragon's Hometown, or even the old lady, when it comes to late autumn, their opinions are not much different.

Late Qiu recalled what happened before, but couldn't help but find that Riolu was surprisingly similar to her in this aspect.

But why is this happening?

Late autumn carefully recalled all the past, but could not find the answer.

"I'm sorry, Riolu. If it weren't for Mr. Tie Xuan's reminder, I wouldn't even realize it..."

After a long silence, Shen Qiu slowly spoke. She buried her head very low and her voice was muffled.

"No." Riolu shook his head quickly.

It thought for a moment and gently placed its paw on Qiu Qiu's arm.

Shen Qiu felt the touch on her arm and couldn't help but look at Riolu, smiled reluctantly, and then raised her head to look at the sky.

She told Riolu her past for the first time:

"Let me talk about myself at this time. I don't have the memory of my childhood. When I first woke up, it was the one-headed dragon of the Iris family who saved me and Delubi. The Dragon's Hometown took me in, and they treated me I am fine too.

Later, I went to Double Dragon Academy to learn about elves. I had a fulfilling life there. I would also go to Mr. Shaka's gym on weekends to watch battles...I was no longer so uneasy because I knew that many people were there. help me.

Later, I made up my mind to embark on a journey to find the past. For various reasons, my first stop was Fengyuan. Although until now, um... I am still in a state of being clueless, but if I win the league championship, it will definitely be a lot more convenient at that time.

All in all, I am from the hometown of Dragon in late autumn. My current short-term goal is to win eight gym badges and become the champion of the Hoenn Regional Alliance Conference; my long-term goal is to retrieve my lost memories and walk on the path of a trainer. The further away the better. "

It felt much better to say it, and Shen Qiu let out a long breath.

"Actually..." Riolu looked at Shenqiu, hesitating, "I don't know where I come from. The last trainer...he left me and then I don't know where he went; the one before...I didn't either Memorized."

Late autumn was stunned.

This was the first time she heard Riolu talk about what happened before. What surprised her most was that before that scumbag trainer, Riolu also lost his memory of the past.

I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence or what, but when the waveguides fit perfectly, even this aspect...

The only difference is that she was rescued by everyone in Dragon Hometown, while Riolu was cruelly abandoned by that scumbag.

"This is my problem and has nothing to do with you." Riolu said a little depressed, "It's obviously me, but I haven't stepped out of that person's shadow..."

"No, this is not your problem. I should have discovered it long ago. As an elf trainer, this is my dereliction of duty."

For the first time, Shen Qiu felt that she was hypocritical. She had always believed that the elves were her friends and close partners. However, how could a friend call her "you"?

"Just call me Late Qiu - we are friends, the closest companions, not superiors and subordinates."

She rubbed Riolu's head, smiling and looking at Riolu whose cheeks turned red.

Riolu was a little at a loss, and even the sound transmitted by the waveguide became embarrassed: "I, I understand, Late Autumn."

"So."

Late Qiu once again reached out to Riolu, "As a companion, come with me to find the memories of the past."

"Yeah!" Riolu answered without hesitation.

Suddenly, he understood.

The past is the past, the present is now, that person has nothing to do with him anymore, now, he is the companion of Late Qiu, the teammate of Heiluga, Young Tooth Dragon, and Benbenyu, that's all.

The scars of the past should never be a stumbling block to growth, but should be a stepping stone to growing stronger.

Riolu looked in the direction of Zijin Gym, silently thanking Mr. Tie Xuan who pointed out their problems before.

"Let's go back."

Late Qiu stood up and moved around a bit. He looked in the distance in the direction of the Elf Center in Zijin City. He suddenly thought of something and laughed maliciously, "From here to the entrance of the Elf Center, let's see who can get there first!"

what?

Riolu was stunned for a moment, unable to react, but Shenqiu had already run far away.

"Late Qiu, you ran away early, how cunning!" Riolu reacted and immediately caught up.

It was quite a distance from here to the Elf Center. Late Qiu was running and panting, and finally saw the Elf Center right in front of her, but Riolu directly overtook her behind her.

"Looks like I'm faster!" Riolu's proud voice came into Shen Qiu's mind. Seeing Riolu rushing over easily, Shen Qiu couldn't help clenching his fists and speeding up again.

After all, he was a fighting elf, and in the end it was Riolu who reached the finish line ahead of schedule.

Riolu even walked back to cheer up Miu Qiu, so relaxed that he didn't even breathe much. Looking at Riolu with a relaxed look on his face, Shen Qiu couldn't help but hug him in his arms, and then pinched his cheek angrily.

"It hurts! Stop pinching my face!" Riolu tried to struggle.

Shen Qiu snorted, but unconsciously relaxed her hand, and rubbed the place where she had just pinched: "Why do you have such good physical strength? Ah, I know, it must be a piece of cake for you, right?"

Riolu was about to nod, but when he saw Ming Qiu's angry look, he blinked and shook his head hesitantly.

Late autumn:......

Of course she noticed Riolu's hesitation.

"I-I just practiced a lot, and I'm a fighting elf..." Riolu retorted softly.

"Seeing you like this, I should have made it clear."

Daigo walked out of the elf center with a smile, straightened his collar, and handed Heiluga's elf ball to Shen Qiu. However, Heiluga had already walked out from behind Dai Wu and circled around Shen Qiu, indicating that he was completely fine.

Kuruga glanced at Riolu and knew they had solved the problem.

"Thank you." Shenqiu took Heiruga's poke ball, then put Riolu down from his arms with a smile, "Well, it's no problem."

"That's good. Tie Xuan is still very good."

Shen Qiu deeply agreed: "Thanks to Mr. Tiexuan this time, I must thank him properly next time we meet."

Daigo smiled and nodded, and looked at Riolu next to Shenqiu: "However, I have watched it for so long. Although your Riolu is very talented, he still needs to supplement his nutrition."

Shen Qiu understood Riolu's physical problems, and thought of the shocking scars on Riolu's body when he saw it for the first time. She couldn't help but sigh: "I was negligent. Besides, Riolu is also a little light. It’s time to replenish the body.”

Riolu raised his head and listened to the conversation between Shenqiu and Daigo. His face looked calm, but his heart was fluctuating violently.

Not wanting to think about anything about the previous person, Riolu thought to himself that if it hadn't been for Late Autumn, he wouldn't be able to stand here now, fighting with other elves and seeing all kinds of scenery.

I am really lucky to meet them in late autumn.

"Okay, okay, let's go eat something delicious and buy some more nutritional ingredients. I don't know how long it will take to get to the next city after leaving Zijin City."

After solving the small problem with Riolu, Late Qiu returned to his previous good mood. Thinking that he had already obtained three badges and was still in a big city like Zijin, it was really unreasonable not to have a good meal.

"I know a good restaurant," Dawu coughed slightly when he heard Shenqiu's words and covered his lips with a smile, "I have been entertained by you outside for so long, so let me treat you once."

"Then I'm not welcome," Shenqiu said, saying that I wouldn't feel sleepy anymore. She said, "Don't blame me for eating too much then."

"Hahaha, of course not," Dawu mysteriously took out a card from his inner pocket and showed it to Shen Qiu, "Sometimes this kind of identity is quite useful."

Looking at the capital letters VIP on the black card, Late Qiu fell into silence.
