Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

The next morning, Eslo got up early. Well, it wasn't too early, after all, it was already 9 o'clock. He suppressed the ahoge on his head, and then looked around. Ma, Zoroark, Absol and young Kiras were not there. He knew without thinking that two of them had taken the children out to play.

"It seems that the appetite of young Kiras has increased recently. Is it because he is going to evolve?" Eslo guessed. Should we say that he is one of the "late bloomers" recognized by the League? Even though he has been with Eslo, a slate spirit who has just taken on a human form, for a long time, he has only now shown signs of evolution.

As he was thinking, Eslo finished washing up and rubbed the Moon Eevee's head. The furry touch was intoxicating. Then, the neatly dressed black-haired boy walked out the door.

Inside the room, Moon Eevee slightly opened her hazy eyes. Her eyes were blurred and she seemed not to have woken up yet.

Umbreon: (°A°`)?

[You and Huayanguai have learned bad things from them.] Yveltal complained.

"No way, haven't I always been like this?" Aislo chuckled and walked towards the door of the next room.

[You were an idiot before...] Yveltal refuted and then started thinking, what is Xiao Luo like now... half idiot and half sinister?

"People always change." Aislo changed his words decisively.

[Huh? That's not what you just said.] Yveltal didn't get any response, because Eslo started knocking on the door of that room.

"Boom, boom, boom."

There was a knock on the door. When Aislo, who was standing in front of Mary's door, saw that there was no response, he tilted his head and asked, "You're not here?"

After knocking on the door gently a few more times, another door not far from Eslo suddenly opened, and Pal walked out lazily, his golden hair was messy, and he kept yawning, looking like he had not woken up yet.

Pal looked in the direction where the knock came from. After seeing clearly, he raised his hand and greeted, "Hi, Xiao Luo."

After a pause, Pal continued, "Mary should have gone to see Miss Naxue. I heard Dai Ya mention it to me not long ago."

"Good morning." Aislo responded, "Mary went to see Miss Naxue..."

"Huh? Wait, you mean Diamond got up early?" Aislo seemed to suddenly notice something and asked with some surprise. After yesterday's communication, he had learned that one of Diamond's favorite things to do was to sleep in. Why did he get up so early today?

"Yeah, once it comes to eating or cooking, that guy is more energetic than anyone else. Ha..." Pal yawned sleepily, and then continued to complain: "He got up very early today, saying that he wanted to check on Miss Naxue's learning results yesterday to see if she has found her own way or something... Tsk, he even woke me up, really."

"You slept in the same room with him? Can't you rent the room for free?" Aislo was a little puzzled.

"Maybe it's because I'm used to it. Every morning when he sleeps in, I feel empty inside if I don't slap him a few times." Pal shrugged. "That guy just came back not long ago. He must have met Mary on the way back, and now he's still catching up on sleep... Tsk."

Recalling the second time Diamond woke him up in the morning, Pal couldn't help curling his lips. He had to admit, even though he had seen him more than once, he was still amazed by Diamond's ability to eat, walk, sleep, and even find his way automatically.

"It looks like everything is going well for Miss Naxue." Aislo had a smile on his face. Mary was not here, so he could just try to give the girl a surprise. With this in mind, the boy added, "Can you call me when Dai Ya wakes up? I want to ask him for help with something."

"No problem." Pal made an OK gesture and then walked back to the room. He should wash his face with cold water now.

"Oh...what should I do now?" Aislo put his fingers on his chin and looked around.

At this time, Moon Eevee jumped out of the room, holding a glass jar in her mouth, which was filled with ruby-like crystal marbles.

It looked like a lively and cheerful little pony (not some Equestrian mythical horse, doge), with a pair of bright red and black big eyes looking around, and just happened to meet Eslo's eyes.

"Woo-yi?" The little girl spoke incoherently. She raised the marble in her mouth, as if to say: Do you want to go out and play together?

At this time, the Rogue Crocodile behind the Moon Eevee also poked his head out of the room. He was still wearing the sunglasses given to him by Eslo, with his arms folded across his chest, looking very impressive.

Rogue Crocodile: ( ▼-▼ )Cool~

"Kaah?" Rogue Crocodile turned around to look at the Rock Monster in his shadow that had transformed into Gengar, and then looked at Eslo with questioning eyes.

"Okay, no problem." Aislo accepted the invitation to the game, then he stood on tiptoe and looked into the room. He saw Morubeko lying peacefully on the bed. The little guy turned over and scratched his belly with his little paws. He seemed to be sleeping soundly and should be having a good dream.

Seeing this, Aislo nodded in satisfaction, and then looked towards the shadow in the corner of the room. Mamaula was sitting there quietly with his eyes closed. Noticing the boy's gaze, he opened his eyes slightly.

"You are always like this. You should try to get along with other people." For fear of disturbing Morubeko, Aislo tried to lower his voice and spoke to Ma'la. He was always like a lone wolf, an elf huddled in a corner where almost no one cared. It seemed that in his inner world he only needed Aislo, the alpha wolf, or the master. This was not good. At least in Aislo's heart, his relationship with Ma'la was that of partners, not master and servant.

"Ma'la." Ma'la also lowered his voice and responded softly. He shook his head slightly, as if he didn't care.

[Get along? A master is all I need.] Ma Xila thought so, but the next moment, he suddenly thought of the stupid gray fox who had always regarded him as a rival and compared himself with him in every way. That guy had just invited him when he went out to play with Ma... Forget it, what does this have to do with me?

"...How about going outside and playing with me for a while?" Aislo stretched out his hand.

[……] Ma'la paused slightly when he was about to stand up. He looked hesitantly at the hand stretched out from a distance, with a light flashing in his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"...Ulla."

After a moment's silence, Mamaula walked forward and placed her paw on the palm of that hand.
