Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

In that quiet and emotional moment, Xiaogang resisted the ups and downs in his heart. He lowered his head slightly, and his deep eyes revealed incomparable tenacity and understanding: "Dad, over the past many years, you have been working hard for your family and you have endured so much. Less suffering..."

Wu Neng raised his hand full of traces of time and gently touched Xiaogang's head. The guilt deep in his heart was intertwined with his father's love, and turned into an affectionate sentence: "I have suffered so much for you for so many years." Yes, kid."

However, Xiaogang responded without hesitation, with perseverance and family affection shining in his eyes: "No, Dad, I'm fine. Your coming back is more important to me than anything else." As he said that, that strong heart My heart finally burst into tears of excitement uncontrollably, and my tears were filled with endless thoughts and expectations for my father.

There were no unnecessary words between the father and son, only the deep emotional exchange, and their mutual understanding and comfort were most sincerely expressed in the silent embrace. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, with only the sound of heartbeat and breathing intertwining and echoing in the air.

After a long time, Wu Neng was able to pull away from this deep emotion. He adjusted his emotions, turned around, and looked firmly at Xiaozhi beside him. There was a cunning and sincere light in this young man's eyes, and everything was unspoken.

For a long time, Wu Neng was immersed in the emotional whirlpool in his heart, as if he was experiencing a silent self-contest. He took a deep breath, like a furnace that recast his will, and finally settled the complicated emotions, slowly but firmly turned around, and looked directly at the energetic young man in front of him - Xiaozhi. His eyes shone with understanding and admiration, with a hint of astonishment, but he seemed to have foreseen something.

"Young man, you cunning little guy, I understand." Wu Neng's words contained a sudden enlightenment and a hint of joking, "You deliberately guided me to Nibi Gym from the beginning, right? You Like a shrewd tactician, he designed it step by step to lure me out of my comfort zone.”

After hearing this, Xiaozhi smiled, with a hint of childish embarrassment. He rubbed his nose sheepishly, and then responded seriously: "That's true, uncle. When I first saw you, I noticed that you This unique temperament and power can only be possessed by being a gym trainer in Nibi City. As an avid fan of the Pokémon world, I am familiar with the eight major mainstream gyms in the Kanto region, whether it is You—Uncle Wu Neng, who was already famous in the previous era, and Aunt Shuilan, who is famous for water-type Pokémon in Cerulean City, you are all the seniors that I admire extremely in my heart and have always aspired to be like."

Hearing Xiaozhi's sincere words, Wu Neng's eyes filled with gratitude. He patted the solid arms of Xiaogang who stood aside and always gave him support and strength. At that moment, a long-lost relief touched his heartstrings again, and tears rolled in his eyes, 'Thank you, now I finally I can face my own heart. "

"You're welcome, I'm very grateful that you can understand and accept my approach." Xiaozhi touched the back of his head a little shyly, with a sincere light shining in his clear eyes, "I made the decision without permission. You recommended me to Xiaogang because I couldn't calm down when I saw his situation. He is about the same age as me, not even much older than me, but he lost the right to pursue his dreams early and was overwhelmed by the invisible and heavy family responsibilities. The shackles are tightly bound to the land of my hometown, and I cannot fly high."

"That's true, young Xiaozhi." After hearing this, Wu Neng took a deep breath, turned around, and stared at Xiaogang with an unprecedented solemn expression, as if his eyes were carrying endless understanding at this moment. and looking forward to, "Xiaogang, listen to me, everyone has the right to pursue their own sea of ​​stars, including you. Dad, I have entered my old age, and it is time to return to my family and enjoy the happiness of my family. Therefore, I I hope you can bravely take this step to realize your dream without worrying about family affairs. I will stick here and protect this warm harbor for you."

"Is it really possible..." Xiaogang was filled with tears, looking firmly at the father who was once strict but now full of love, "Dad, I have something to say to you, not to complain, but because I want to It’s been my heartfelt sentiment for a long time.”

"Go ahead, kid, whether you are dissatisfied with my father, who was once called a waste, or you have any deep-seated expectations, I am willing to listen and bear it." Wu Neng lowered his head slightly, The weather-beaten face was filled with tolerance and waiting, ready to receive the most important words in his son's life.

No, actually, it's this crucial detail. "Xiao Gang's eyes shone with a cunning and passionate light. He quickly and decisively took out a roll of delicate needlework from his pocket. The warmth of his palm seemed to still be on it, and he handed it over cautiously. When he arrived in front of Wu Neng, he continued to elaborate: "In addition, I have to remind you that Jiro has a special liking for red miso, which is the soul condiment on his table; while Saburo prefers white miso with a mellow taste and elegant color. Miso; as for our lovely little sister, she likes to combine the two to create a unique taste. Furthermore, Goro’s favorite is the bowl of red bean soup that is sweet but not greasy and full of red beans. As for Mimi, she loves corn soup as much as any other delicacy..."

Wu Neng's eyes widened, and his originally round face became even redder under the bombardment of this series of information. His shocked expression seemed to say: "(;￣д￣) This amount of information is too much! Wait a minute, let me Let me take it easy!" He held his forehead in pain and waved his hand helplessly, "Xiao Gang, I really can't remember so many trivial things! Can you compile all of this into a note for me when you get home? "

"Haha, okay, it seems I'm a bit too wordy." Xiaogang smiled knowingly, patted his forehead gently, and then turned to Xiaozhi, who was always listening with interest, "Xiaozhi, I really don't I know how to express my gratitude. The planned gym battle may have to be postponed a little because of this. But how about coming to my house for a light meal tonight? I want to cook a few special dishes for you. Good food.”

"Okay~ I'm very happy to accept your invitation~" Xiaozhi smiled and nodded.

"Um, can I go with you?" Xiaoxia, who was sitting in the audience, finally spoke...

"Of course, you can come over together in the evening." Xiaogang took it as a matter of course.

"Thank you so much!" Xiaoxia smiled sweetly.

Behind the majestic building of Nibi Gym, along a path extending straight for about two hundred meters, Xiaogang's warm and lively home is hidden. Although this three-story single-family villa does not look impressive from the outside, its interior space is particularly compact and substantial due to its rich atmosphere of life. This unique family atmosphere is undoubtedly due to Mr. Wu Neng’s hard work and selfless dedication to inherit the family bloodline. As the eldest son, Xiaogang is surrounded by eight younger brothers and sisters, forming a big family of nine, counting from Jiro and Sanlang to Wulang, six lively brothers and two sweet and lovely sisters. The children are still studying tirelessly in school, and the youngest baby is even in the tender stage of being attached to the milk bottle.

Xiaogang's family genes are so powerful that they can be described as "copy and paste". Every child seems to be carved from the same mold. The similarity makes people marvel at the magic of nature's creation. At this time, Xiaogang had put on a pink apron and was busily shuttled in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous dinner for the visiting Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia. Xiaozhi looked around, looking at the curious and energetic little version of Xiaogang in this room, and couldn't help but feel dazzled, even a little overwhelmed. Xiaoxia was also confused, and was deeply attracted by the scene in front of her.
