Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

Have you ever experienced the feeling that when you spend time with someone you love, the time seems to fly by in a flash?

A week passed by quietly without him noticing, and Xiaozhi had naturally slept on the floor in Serena's room, as naturally as if it were his own bed.

Although it was just a bed on the floor, Xiaozhi always fell asleep peacefully in a strange way. Aunt Sachi had prepared a room for him, but Serena slept alone and had nightmares. Aunt Sachi accompanied her in person, but still couldn't avoid Serena's nightmares. The strange thing is that as long as Xiaozhi's arms gently embraced Serena, she could fall asleep peacefully until dawn.

Aunt Sachi was also helpless about this and could only mutter that girls are extroverts while she laid the mat on the floor for Xiaozhi.

A beautiful day awakened from the morning sunshine, Serena rubbed her eyes and unconsciously shrank into Xiaozhi's arms. Xiaozhi drowsily reached out and patted her back, saying softly: "It's okay, I'm here..."

Salina called softly: "Sadosi..."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xiaozhi tried hard to open his eyes.

Serena shook her head and smiled, "Nothing, good morning, Xiaozhi."

"Well, good morning, Serena," Xiaozhi responded with a smile and kissed her gently on the forehead.

"It's time to get up." After completing the good morning kiss, Xiaozhi walked into the bathroom and started washing up.

At this time, Serena came behind Xiaozhi with a cane while Xiaozhi was brushing his teeth. She said happily: "Look, I can move on my own now."

"So cool!" Xiaozhi praised Serena while praising her with a satisfied smile on his face, as if he had witnessed some amazing skill.

The morning sun shone through the window. The two had already washed up and went downstairs hand in hand to enjoy breakfast. Although Xiaozhi was able to walk a few steps, he still picked up Serena like a prince and walked down the stairs steadily, carefully protecting her.

"Oh, Serena-chan, the way you come down the stairs is just like a noble princess." The three members of Serena's group came to eat early in the morning, and they teased jokingly.

"Don't get me wrong, I just need this kind of help because I'm injured." Serena explained shyly.

"Haha, we all understand. Explanation is covering up." Xiaozhi took over the conversation calmly.

"Okay, stop making fun of her. Let's come and eat." Aunt Sachi called everyone by knocking on the frying pan. The dining table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast: bread, salad, fried eggs, milk, and the fragrant grilled saury with grated radish.

"Aunt Sachi's cooking skills are really what I've been looking forward to!" Tierno couldn't wait to pick up two slices of bread, spread cheese on them, put fried eggs in them, and take a bite.

"Tierno, eat slowly." Doroba watched speechlessly as the runny egg yolk splashed onto his face.

"What? Another glass of milk!" Tierno shouted incoherently with his mouth full of food. Xiaozhi looked at him eating and couldn't help but twitch his mouth. If he continued to eat like this, Liu Jinghong's dancing just now would probably be in vain.

"Okay, everyone, let's finish eating. I've called a taxi, and we'll go directly to Miare City in a while." Xiaozhi carefully spread salad dressing on Serena's bread, and then announced to everyone.

"Huh? There are five of us, what should we do?" Shana asked puzzledly.

"Oh, well, no problem." Xiaozhi responded calmly, his eyes fell on Tierno who was wolfing down his food, "Tierno, go for a run after you finish eating."

Tierno's eating stopped instantly, and he almost choked on his food...

"Lion... no, Tierno..." He looked at Xiaozhi pitifully.

"Don't even think about it. If you want to learn how to pick up girls, you have to work hard." Xiaozhi refused without hesitation.

After breakfast, Tieruno set out on his journey alone in tears.

On the other side, Xiaozhi carefully selected a coat and hat for Serena and meticulously combed her long hair.

"It feels so good... Xiaozhi, you are really good at combing my hair." Serena closed her eyes and felt the tenderness of his hands passing through her hair.

"Your hair is so beautiful, I naturally want to take care of it for you." Xiaozhi showed a faint smile.

At this time, the taxi horn sounded, and Xiaozhi quickly combed Serena's long hair smooth. "Okay, everyone, get ready to go."

Everyone went out and got in the car. Xiaozhi, Serena and Sana sat in the back seat, while Doroba was arranged by Xiaozhi to sit in the passenger seat.

The car started moving, and the driver smiled and joked that it was the first time he picked up someone who took a taxi from Miare.

Xiaozhi smiled awkwardly and decided to be more generous to Serena. Fortunately, he had won a lot of prize money from the previous two championships, so he didn't care about this little money.

After more than two hours' drive, everyone finally arrived at the Fantasy Crystal Tower.

Xiaozhi and his party were placed at the gate of the Bratano Institute. The driver skillfully parked the car on the roadside, which was a great spot for fishing. Looking at the driver's technique, Xiaozhi could only smile helplessly and said with emotion: "This driver is really smart. He is very clear about making money."

Doraba walked into the research institute and shouted inside: "Doctor, I brought Serena and the others here."

Then, Dr. Blatano, wearing a purple shirt, black suit pants, and a white researcher coat, appeared in front of everyone. Among the many male doctors, his appearance was undoubtedly the most outstanding.

Dr. Bratano warmly greeted Xiaozhi and his group, and said with his Garchomp, "Everyone, welcome to the Bratano Institute."

Xiaozhi responded: "Hello, Doctor, I am Serena's friend, my name is Xiaozhi."

Hearing Xiaozhi's name, Dr. Blatano's eyes sparkled and he exclaimed: "Ah, I know you! You used to be an assistant to Professor Oak, and you also published a wonderful article on Pokémon Science Exploration. Your insights on the theory of diversified evolution of Pokémon are really impressive."

Xiaozhi responded modestly: "Doctor, you are too kind. I also heard that your current research seems to lead to a revolution in the Pokémon battle landscape."

Then, Dr. Blatano said excitedly: "Great, Dr. Oak once mentioned you to me. He said you are a promising Pokémon trainer. I have something I want to ask you for help. I am studying a special evolution phenomenon, which I call super evolution, Mega evolution. This is a temporary evolution that exceeds the limits of Pokémon, like a leap in life. Currently, the known phenomenon that can cause this kind of evolution is limited to the three major Pokémon in the Kanto and Hoenn regions."

"Oh, this is really interesting." Xiaozhi smiled slightly, successfully arousing his interest.

"Doctor, why don't we find a comfortable place to sit down and discuss this in detail." Xiaozhi glanced at Serena's legs that were inconvenient to walk and suggested considerately.

"Oops, it was my negligence. You should come to my laboratory and have a rest. Also, ask someone to make a pot of tea." Dr. Bratano's research enthusiasm at this moment was completely ignited by Xiaozhi's words.

After everyone arrived at the laboratory, Xiaozhi helped Serena sit on the sofa nearby, and then continued his speech.

"I think that since the three starter Pokémon can undergo such evolution, there must be more Pokémon that have this potential. Doctor, you can conduct more experiments and observations." Xiaozhi put forward his own opinion.

"You're right!" Dr. Blatano quickly pulled open a drawer and revealed a box. He opened it in front of everyone, "There are more than six stones that can trigger Mega Evolution. But there are still many stones whose corresponding Pokémon have not been determined."

Xiaozhi's eyes were attracted by the two stones with spiral gene patterns in the box. "Besides that, I think the evolution stone is just a carrier. The real key lies in the key to unlock this power."

"You hit the nail on the head!" Dr. Blatano slapped a keystone from Xiaozhi's hand, "This is the key to unlock the power. I call it a keystone. It is held by the trainer. In my research, I found that this power can only be stimulated when there is a deep bond between the trainer and the Pokémon."

"Let's change the perspective and talk about why we need to build a deep bond?" Xiaozhi shared enthusiastically: "Not long ago, Professor Oak's research results showed that Pokémon will gradually become more and more similar to their owners. I became very interested in this result, so I did some exploration and research."

During the in-depth discussion, I discovered an interesting phenomenon: when the Pokémon and the trainer are in tune with each other and the bond becomes deeper, their emotions will gradually become consistent. Let's imagine that if this bond continues to deepen, the emotions between people and Pokémon may completely overlap! So, is it possible that when the emotions of the trainer and the Pokémon reach perfect synchronization and harmony, it can inspire a new life transition? "

"Oh! I didn't expect that this research involves the relationship between emotions and brain waves. This research direction is really promising!" Dr. Bratano said excitedly. His research ideas seemed to be instantly enlightened.

"Xiaozhi, here are the Key Stone and the Evolution Stone of the Three Pokémon of Kanto that I give you," Dr. Blatano solemnly handed over the gift, "Please accept it. Since you have such a unique insight into Mega Evolution, why not try it yourself? I believe in Professor Oak's vision, and you will definitely become a trainer with a promising future. Go and complete Mega Evolution with your Pokémon! Once successful, please send me the data record."

"Since you trust me so much and have high hopes for me, I will obey your orders!" Xiaozhi gladly accepted the gift and quickly zipped up his backpack. (Who would complain about having too many Evolution Stones?)

Serena and the others were all shocked by the scene before them, and Xiaozhi's performance surprised them even more. After a brief conversation with Dr. Blatano, the doctor actually handed him an important research tool? This scene was simply unbelievable.

"Everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting. Now let us reveal the rookie Pokémon we have prepared for you, Serena." Dr. Blatano said with satisfaction, then took out three Poké Balls and placed them steadily on the table.

"First, let's take a look at the Grass-type Halcyon." The doctor gently opened the first Poké Ball. Halcyon rubbed his eyes and looked at the group of boys and girls in front of him with a little confusion.

"So cute!" As soon as Shana saw this grass-type Pokémon, she was immediately attracted to it.

Then, the professor opened the second Poké Ball. "Next is the water-type Frog!" A Frog with blue skin and bubbles around its neck jumped out.

Xiaozhi observed the bubble frog carefully, with great interest in his eyes.

"Xiaozhi, are you interested in this Frog?" asked Bratano.

Xiaozhi asked back: "Is this quack frog obedient?"

"Of course," replied Buratano, "this frog is very docile."

Xiaozhi refused without hesitation: "I still prefer those with wilder temperaments."

Dr. Blatano laughed, shook his head, and opened the third Poké Ball. With a "Woo~", a Pokémon with warm yellow fur and fiery red ears appeared in front of everyone, instantly capturing Serena's heart.

Xiaozhi reminded: "This one should be called Fire Fox."

When Serena saw the fire fox, she waved excitedly, and the little guy jumped directly onto Serena's lap and docilely nestled down. This scene undoubtedly added more warmth and joy to the unveiling ceremony.

"Haha, it seems that Firefox has a special liking for Serena. Have you decided to choose her?" Dr. Blatano said with a smile in his eyes.

"Of course, I already have someone in my heart, and that person is her! I feel that Serena is my destined partner." Serena answered firmly with a bright smile on her face.

"Then I'll choose Halisu." Shana got her favorite Halisu as she wished.

"Okay, kids, here are your Poké Balls and Pokémon Encyclopedias. On the journey ahead, I hope you will go hand in hand with the Pokémon and create your future together." Dr. Blatano announced in a handsome manner.

"I understand, Doctor!" Serena hugged the Fire Fox and smiled as brightly as a flower.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel happy. He gently rubbed Serena's hair and encouraged her: "Come on, Serena. I believe in you."

"Well, I will try my best and I will definitely catch up with you, Xiaozhi." Serena nodded, with firm belief in her eyes.

In this way, Serena finally got her dream Pokémon, and Xiaozhi is about to return to the Kanto region. Their Pokémon journey will continue, full of unknowns and adventures...
