Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"A Golbat that has reached the elite level but has not evolved yet... How pitiful." Diamond shook his head slightly as he watched the reporter leave. He then looked at Eslo and Mary and continued, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Diamond, and this is my partner, Abi."

"K!" Snorlax raised his paw as a greeting. From his pitiful look, it could be seen that he was very hungry. The only thing to be thankful for was that Snorlax did not have the characteristic of "being full and hungry again".

"Mobe!"

"Hello~" x2

After saying hello, Diamond slowly turned his gaze to look at Pal who was trying his best to reduce his presence. The blond boy was sweating profusely the moment he was stared at by those blue eyes.

"Pal, where's my food?" Diamond became that silly look again. That silliness was even integrated into his temperament, and even seemed a bit cute. It can only be said that he is indeed a master at playing dumb.

"No, I don't want to say that." Pal was hesitating in answering, his eyes dodging. The next moment, he finally reacted, "No, no, I was wrong. Your meal is on the way."

"Oh, okay, how many did you buy?" Diamond continued to ask.

"Ah, ah?" Pal stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. He looked stiffly at Snorlax and the other four Poké Balls on Diamond's waist and swallowed slowly. When he ordered the food, he forgot that he had to take into account six big eaters.

"Okay, I know." Diamond nodded silently, expressing his helplessness towards his impatient companion. Even if he didn't give him some elf points, he should at least bring some for Eslo and Mary, right? Besides, would this portion be enough for him alone?

"It looks like you haven't eaten yet. Why don't you wait for me to go back to the Pokémon Center to get the food, and then have a meal together?" Diamond looked at Aislo and Mary. As a veteran foodie, he could tell at a glance whether others had eaten enough.

"Yeah!"

"no problem."

The two agreed, and the four of them set off immediately, heading towards the Pokémon Center.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, the four of them happened to meet a Pidgeot delivering food. After giving it a five-star rating, they walked in the opposite direction of when they came. There were many restaurants on that street.

Diamond gave the food to Snorlax first, and Snorlax lived up to everyone's expectations by directly opening the package and pouring the food into his mouth, swallowing and spitting it out almost instantly. The amount was basically enough for a normal adult to have a meal, but he didn't even last a second.

"It's worthy of being the big eater Pokémon, so cute!" Eslo looked at Aby in front of him with shining eyes. This little guy even had half the style of Uncle Snorlax in the Crown Forest. What he and Eevee liked most was to take a nap on Uncle Snorlax's soft and furry belly.

"Kuaibi~" The little Snorlax blushed a little because of the praise, and stretched out his short little hands to scratch his head. It was a pity that his little claws could not reach the top of his head, so Diamond reached out and scratched him at this time.

"Kuaibi~" Snorlax gave Diamond a silly smile, then rubbed his stomach which still didn't feel full.

"Okay, we'll have dinner later, and I'll make sure you're well fed." Pal smiled and comforted the little Snorlax.

After walking for a while, the four finally stepped into the food street. From a distance, they saw countless restaurants lined up on both sides of the road, which was dazzling.

"Huh... there are so many people in these restaurants around here." Diamond looked around the surrounding restaurants. It was clearly past dinner time, but there were still surprisingly many people in these restaurants. There wasn't even a place to sit. It could only be said that Zhuqing City was worthy of being the largest city in Sinnoh. The prosperity of this city was once again imprinted in the minds of several people in a different way.

At this moment, a young girl suddenly ran towards this side from a distance. She quickly stuffed a small gift box in her hand into Aislo's arms and ran away quickly.

"Huh?" Eslo, who was about to call the girl to ask about the situation, suddenly paused. He looked at the gift box in his hand, then at Mary, and seemed to realize something.

"Oh, right." The boy looked at the gift in his arms thoughtfully, "If you want to be more proactive, then why not just give me a gift?"

While thinking this, Aislo secretly glanced at the girl next to him. Unfortunately, his little thoughts were written on his face. Two years old is the age when things cannot be hidden.

And Mary didn't tease or get jealous. She just looked at the gift from fans in the boy's arms thoughtfully.

"Oh, right... If you want to get closer, maybe you can consider giving a gift?" Mary's eyes lit up slightly, but she soon fell into deep thought, "But what should I give..."

At this moment, the two people in different situations strangely reached a consensus in their thinking.

"Why are they suddenly in a daze?" Diamond asked his companions. These two guys were in a daze more suddenly than he was.

"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of telepathy." Pal shrugged, but did not interrupt the two people's thoughts. Maybe they were thinking about something very important.

After a while, the two people who were lost in thought finally reacted. They raised their heads and said in unison: "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The words fell at the same time, Aislo and Mary looked at each other again, the girl's pretty face blushed slightly, and she turned her head away again.

"It's okay, it's okay." Pal and Diamond waved their hands, and then Pal quickly changed the subject, "How is it? It looks like this is your first time receiving a gift from a fan, right? You'll get used to it. Famous trainers like us often encounter this kind of thing."

"Yeah." Aislo nodded quickly.

At the same time, Mary's slightly surprised voice came.

"Eh? There seems to be a restaurant over there...but why is there no one there?" Mary turned her head away and stopped in confusion. The restaurants around the hotel were bustling with people, but there was no one there. They were obviously on a prime street and there was no decoration or anything, but they seemed to be in two different worlds, which aroused the girl's curiosity.

"Mobei?" Morube scratched his head in confusion. Although the decoration of the restaurant looked simple, it had a unique flavor. The various small decorations on the details were enough to show that the owner of the store put a lot of effort into it. In theory, it should not be so deserted.

"Never mind, just go over and take a look and you'll know." Pal walked over without thinking. After walking for so long under the scorching sun, he just wanted to buy a bottle of water as soon as possible to quench his thirst.

Although the strange looks from passers-by slowed down Pal's pace from time to time, he still walked forward bravely. However, Diamond, who was slow-witted, did not care about these. He just wondered why Pal's pace slowed down.

"What is it? Is this really not a prank by a ghost-type Pokémon?" Mary asked softly to the boy beside her. Although she knew it was unlikely, after all, no ghost-type Pokémon would play such a prank in the city center, but the scene in front of her still seemed too strange.

"No." Aislo shook her head slowly. At least she was sure of this. Since it was not due to some Pokémon's prank, then there was probably only one possibility.

Aislo and Mary looked at each other, they seemed to realize something, but finally followed the pace of the two people in front of them and entered the exquisitely decorated shop together.
