Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

Leaving the Pokémon Academy full of modern technology and luxurious facilities, Xiaozhi, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia returned to their usual adventure mode and plunged into the lush forest with their Pokémon partners. Deep down, continue their journey into the unknown. Today, they were walking in a patch of waist-high dense grass, and every step seemed to be exploring the secrets of nature.

The surrounding environment became more and more mysterious as they went deeper. The sunlight shone on them mottledly through the dense leaves, reflecting fantastic light and shadow. Xiaozhi was keenly aware of this subtle change. He stopped and turned to look at Xiaogang beside him, with a trace of confusion and hesitation in his eyes.

"Xiao Gang, do you think something is wrong here? Does this look like a path that someone has walked on?" Xiaozhi's voice was full of entanglement, and he was trying to get some confirmation and guidance from Xiao Gang.

Xiaogang tilted his head slightly, his wise eyes deep in the whirlpool of thinking. He looked around. This remote and silent forest was obviously not the only way for ordinary travelers. "It's really strange. How did we end up in such a place where no birds want to stay?" He said to himself, and his heart was also full of questions.

Xiaoxia bluntly broke the current situation at this time: "Even if you don't need to think with your brain, you can understand with your knees, we must be lost!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi sighed helplessly. He knew that getting lost was not a terrible thing for Pokémon trainers like them who were keen on exploring. The most embarrassing thing was that as the leader, he failed to get it right this time. The direction is accurate. He scratched his head and looked at Xiaoxia apologetically.

"Oh~ I wish I had listened to your choice and turned right at the fork in the road just now." Xiaoxia pursed her lips and said with a slight complaint, but there was no blame in her words, more of a compliment. A kind of ridicule and optimism about the unknown journey.

"Well~ the boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Let's move forward as bravely as ever." Xiaozhi pretended to smile relaxedly, as if to laugh away the doubts and troubles in his heart. He knew very well that if Xiaoxia seized the opportunity at this moment, she would definitely start the continuous thought mode. In order to keep his ears clean, he chose to move forward actively.

Xiaogang looked at Xiaozhi's suddenly accelerated pace, and a helpless and understanding smile appeared on his face. He knew that in the face of difficulties, Xiaozhi always chose to take action instead of complaining. So, he followed closely and kept up with Xiaozhi's pace with great strides, muttering silently: "It's true, no matter how much you complain now, you can't change the status quo. The only way to solve the problem is to move on."

Fortunately, they did not struggle for too long on the thorny and weedy road. It didn't take long for them to successfully cross the area. Suddenly, a relatively quiet and wide open space appeared in front of the three of them. Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at each other and smiled, and decided to take a rest here to recover their strength.

Just as the three of them sat down to take a breath, Xiaoxia's sharp eyes spotted a naive walking grass moving leisurely not far away. "Xiao Zhi, look over there!" Her voice was full of surprise.

Xiaozhi looked in the direction of Xiaoxia's finger and took out the Pokédex he carried with him to scan it. "Ding~ Walking Grass, this is a magical Pokémon that spreads pollen while walking. Its existence contributes an indispensable force to the ecological cycle of nature." Closing the illustrated book, Xiaozhi nodded meaningfully, thinking in his heart But he laughed secretly: These few descriptions are actually the result of Dr. Oki using millions of alliance research funds? This makes people wonder whether there is a deviation in the allocation of scientific research resources, or whether human nature often lacks the patience to delve deeply into the complexity behind simple things...

"Xiao Zhi!" With a crisp cry, Xiao Xia rushed over like a rushing wind, and grabbed Xiao Zhi's hands tightly like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. The sudden impact made Xiao Zhi's whole body fall into a trap instantly. In surprise and astonishment.

"Oh, my God! Xiaoxia, what are you going to do? (°?°) Could it be that the wild little universe in your body finally couldn't hold it back and exploded?" Xiaozhi's eyes widened and he looked with horror on his face. Xiaoxia in front of her seemed to be seeing a crazy kitten she had never seen before.

However, Xiaoxia's face was full of innocence and expectation, her eyes were shining with starlight, and she begged softly: "That walking grass is really cute, please bear the pain and give it to me. Okay..." Before she finished speaking, she had already tried her best, and waves of sweet and sweet coquettish attacks swept over Xiaozhi like waves.

Facing Xiaoxia's fierce emotional offensive, Xiaozhi tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, and while trying to break away from her hand, he sighed with emotion: "Oh, okay, okay, I'll give it to you, I actually didn't I don’t particularly want it, so go ahead and don’t give me goosebumps again.” His words were mixed with a hint of imperceptible doting and a bitter smile, as if he was paying for Xiaoxia’s liveliness and willfulness.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia smiled with satisfaction, her cunning eyes showed the joy of success, "Okay, go, my gem starfish!" She immediately released her number one from the elf ball around her waist. The warrior, Gem Starfish, is preparing to attack Walking Grass.

Just when Walking Grass seemed to be planning to use its small and flexible body to find an opportunity to escape, Xiaoxia, with quick eyesight and quick hands, decisively ordered: "Attack with water gun!" In an instant, the gem starfish responded to its owner's call, and a powerful water column shot out from its tentacles. It spurted out, like an arrow from a string, and shot toward the walking grass at high speed. With just one blow, the walking grass flew into the sky...

With another powerful impact, Walking Grass lost its ability to fight on the spot...

"Good opportunity, let's go for the Poké Ball!" Before she finished speaking, Xiaoxia flicked her wrist, and the Poké Ball shining with metallic luster in her hand instantly turned into a stream of light and went straight to the target.

Boom! ! !

However, the expected subjugation did not go as expected. A green figure flew out like an arrow, and unexpectedly hit the elf ball thrown by Xiaoxia with great accuracy. The air was filled with tension and surprise. Xiaoxia's eyes widened and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Huh?!"

After taking a closer look, what caught his eye was not the original target walking grass, but a Bulbasaur with bright eyes and a garlic-like plant on its head. Xiaozhi, who was standing aside, reacted instantly. He stood up suddenly and shouted its name with firm eyes: "Bulbasaur!"

This Bulbasaur had obviously undergone rigorous training and was of a very high level. With its powerful impact, the level 19 gem starfish carefully cultivated by Xiaoxia was struck by lightning. It instantly lost its fighting ability and the lights flickered. On the ground.

"Everyone, don't do anything yet." Faced with this situation, Xiaozhi's steady and powerful voice sounded. He quickly stretched out his arm to stop Xiaogang and Xiaoxia who were about to step forward to help, and signaled them to be calm.

"Hey, young man, don't get excited." Xiaozhi faced the situation calmly. He raised his hands to express peace and said with a relaxed smile on his face, "I didn't challenge you with the elf ball, and I didn't mean any harm. Now. You can take your friends and leave, it's safe here."

"Seed?" Bulbasaur looked at Xiaozhi doubtfully, feeling the sincerity and kindness radiating from Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi's eyes were clear and bright, and the corner of his mouth curved into a heart-warming smile, as if to tell it that everything was under control: "It's okay~ Let's go~

"Seed." In Xiaozhi's eyes full of understanding and respect, Bulbasaur seemed to understand his words. It took a deep look at Xiaozhi with its bright and intelligent eyes, and then said with an extremely firm and confident expression. With a look of reluctance, he escorted the walking grass slowly into the dense grass on the roadside. Every few steps it takes, it will look back, its eyes showing deep attachment and gratitude to Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia, and finally the figure gradually disappears among the green grass leaves.

"Xiao Zhi, are you really going to let it go like this? I remember you mentioned more than once that you wanted to have a Bulbasaur as a partner!" Xiaoxia looked at the direction where Bulbasaur disappeared, her eyes twinkling. Feeling puzzled and regretful.

Xiaozhi looked into the distance with a smile. There was endless tolerance and open-mindedness in that smile, "Well, Xiaoxia, forcing things will never be so sweet. Besides, the encounter in fate is not just once. Maybe we will meet again in the future." One day in the future, I will meet them again in an unexpected place." After saying this, he watched the two little guys completely disappear from sight, then slowly turned around, his eyes filled with life again. With energy, "Okay, let's continue our journey."

The three of them walked together, and the scenery along the way was constantly changing under the sunlight. Soon, a wooden rope suspension bridge that looked a bit old suddenly appeared in front of them. Xiaozhi walked forward and squatted by the bridge, carefully examining every detail of the bridge, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

Sensing something strange about Xiaozhi, Xiaogang immediately asked with concern: "Xiaozhi, what are you worried about?"

Xiaozhi frowned, gently stroking the frayed ropes on the bridge with his fingers, and responded in a deep voice: "This bridge does look very old. I'm worried that its load-bearing capacity may not be enough to support us to pass safely. I think It’s safer to reinforce it first.”

Just do it, Xiaozhi showed his decisiveness and action. He quickly pulled out a tough rope from his backpack that he usually used to dry clothes, and used it like a treasure to strengthen the key connection parts of the suspension bridge. He carefully examines every node, like an experienced craftsman, repeatedly adjusting and tightening in the sun to ensure that every knot is strong and reliable.

"Haha, Xiaozhi, are you a little too cautious?" Xiaoxia held Xiaogang's arm with a playful smile, and looked at Xiaozhi's busy figure together, her words full of cordial teasing.

"Huh~, it should be no problem now." After Xiaozhi completed the comprehensive reinforcement of the ropes at the bridge head, he finally nodded with satisfaction, showing a confident look, and took the lead to step onto the suspension bridge, preparing to lead Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi Just crossed the river safely.

"Don't worry. Suspension bridges in places like this are generally very stable and there won't be any problems..."
