Pokémon Legends Ash

Chapter 13 Leaving Forever

In front of Xiaozhi, a square wooden box was placed on the table in the living room, and Xiaoai's gray and white photo was also pasted on the side of the box.

Xiaozhi looked at the wooden box in disbelief, not daring to take a step forward.

"Pichu!!"

Pichu jumped over and hugged the box tightly. Looking at Xiaoai's bright smile on the wooden box, tears couldn't help but flow from its little eyes.

Xiaozhi's eyes were filled with tears, and he touched Pichu's back. He understood Pichu's current mood. Anyone who saw his friend become like this would burst into tears.

"Xiao Ai left after you left yesterday. It happened very suddenly. I received the call just after I dropped you off at home."

As he spoke, Dr. Fuji's voice became more and more choked up, and his hoarse voice mixed with crying made people feel very uncomfortable.

"I rushed to the hospital but was unable to see her for the last time. She must have felt very lonely. When she left, there was no one around her who knew her..."

Listening to Dr. Fuji's words, Xiaozhi had already imagined that scene. His body gradually became colder, and all around him were doctors or nurses in white clothes, and no one he knew.

Her father and friends were all gone, and she could only stare at the door with anticipation at the end of her life until she could no longer see it.

"My little love..."

Dr. Fuji cried. Although he was an adult, he cried like a child, with snot and tears.

Seeing Dr. Fuji like this, Pikachu and Satoshi, who had finally recovered, couldn't control their emotions. The two and their pet hugged each other, their eyes blurred with tears.

After crying for a while, Dr. Fuji stood up and quietly put away Xiao Ai's box. After all, as the old saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. After that, their mood recovered quickly.

But the sad atmosphere still exists between them, but it is much better than at the beginning.

"Since Xiao Ai can't eat anymore, Dr. Fuji, please eat with us."

Xiaozhi pushed the bag containing the lunch box in front of Dr. Fuji, and together with Pichu, they stared at him with expectant eyes.

Dr. Fuji raised his hand, still hesitating whether to take it or not, Xiaozhi continued: "Just think of it as a taste for Xiaoai, the food my mother cooks is delicious."

"Pichupi..."

"Okay, I'll taste it for Xiao Ai."

Dr. Fuji picked up the packed lunch box from the bag, skillfully untied the wrapping cloth, and took the lunch box to the kitchen, intending to heat it up slightly in the microwave.

After waiting for a few minutes, the delicious food that had been removed from the lunch box and poured onto the plate by Dr. Fuji appeared with a strong and tempting aroma floating in the air.

Several large plates of delicious food were presented in front of Satoshi, Pikachu, and Dr. Fuji. Just staring at the food on the plates, the three of them couldn't help swallowing.

"It seems that Xiaozhi's mother is very good at cooking. Just smelling the food makes people want to stop..."

Dr. Fuji was a little more lively at this time. I don't know if it was because of the energy brought by the food, or because of the company of Xiaozhi and Pichu? Or maybe it was both.

"Hey, Dr. Fuji, you're welcome. Come and try my mom's cooking."

Xiaozhi said, and immediately picked up his chopsticks, but he didn't rush to put the food into his own bowl. Instead, he picked up a few very tempting delicacies for the small Pichu beside him.

The three of them enjoyed the food without hesitation. The delicious food went into Xiaozhi's stomach and soothed his melancholy heart. Pichu's small mouth was filled with delicious food, but even so, it still wanted to eat more.

As soon as Dr. Fuji took the first bite, he felt his taste buds were shocked. The delicious food brought him a happy mood, but it also aroused a trace of sadness in his heart.

He thought of his daughter Xiao Ai. If she were still alive, she would also be able to eat such delicious food.

He cried while eating. In order not to spoil the good atmosphere, Dr. Fuji held back his tears and desperately put food into his mouth.

Xiaozhi and Pichu did not notice anything unusual about Professor Fuji, and the delicious food temporarily made them forget their troubles.

The food on the plate was decreasing until the last bit went into Pichu's little mouth, and everything was finished by the three of them.

Dr. Fuji also adjusted his mood and bowed his head to thank Xiaozhi.

"Thank you, Xiaozhi, I feel much better. Xiaoai, it's great that she has a friend like you."

Dr. Fuji smiled and glanced out the window. The dim light shone through the glass onto the solid wood floor. He understood that the little guy in front of him was going home.

"It's getting late, you should go back quickly."

"Got it, Dr. Fuji."

Xiaozhi packed up his things and walked to the door with Pichu. At the moment when he was about to step out of the house, he seemed to think of something.

Suddenly turning around, he shouted to Dr. Fuji who was waving goodbye, "I will definitely complete what I promised Xiao Ai with Pichu! I will!"

"Pi! Pichu!"

The boy's momentum was accompanied by a gust of wind that blew Fuji's hair. He knew that the boy in front of him was not joking, so he nodded and smiled and replied: "I know, Xiao Ai must think so too."

"Goodbye, Dr. Fuji!"

"Pichupichupi!"

This time Dr. Fuji did not reply. He just watched them go away, their backs gradually disappearing into the dusk.

He walked back to the room silently, looking at the cold little box, and recalled the time when he and Xiaozhi had just enjoyed delicious food.

A smile appeared on his face, but it didn't last long before it gradually turned gloomy.

"I promise...Xiao Ai...my daughter, I promise..."

Dr. Fuji knelt in front of Xiao Ai's urn, repeating this sentence over and over again, his voice sonorous and powerful, as if he had made some decision.

On the other side, Xiaozhi didn't know what was going on at home with Professor Fuji. He and Pichu had already gathered their thoughts and were heading towards their home.

When they got home, mother Hanako looked at Xiaozhi, who was obviously in a good mood. She put the empty lunch box on the table and raised her head proudly.

"Is the food your mom cooked delicious? What does that girl think?"

Hanako said with a smile, not thinking there was anything wrong with this sentence, but it made Xiaozhi and Pichu's newly improved mood disappear without a trace.

"Mom, this is what I ate with her father, Dr. Fuji... She...will never be able to eat it again..."

"Pichu..."

"How...how could this happen..."

After hearing what Xiaozhi said, how could Hanako not understand what he meant? Now she couldn't even think about the fact that the food she cooked was eaten up. She kept repeating what Xiaozhi had just said in her mind.

I can never eat it again... I can never eat it again...

Hanako looked listless as she silently cleaned up the dirty dishes that Xiaozhi brought. She said nothing, or perhaps she didn't want to say anything.

"I'm going to take a shower, Mom."

"Pichu...Pichupi..."

"Ah, okay...you go ahead."

Pichu followed behind Xiaozhi, and the two entered the bathroom together. As the sound of running water began, the two officially began to bathe.

After taking a shower, Ash and Pichu returned upstairs and laid down in their current room.

There has been nothing to do these days, but Xiaozhi decided to go to Professor Oak's place tomorrow. The first thing he would do is to tell Xiaolan and Xiaomao the news about Xiaoai.

It’s strange to say, for some reason, Xiaozhi hasn’t seen them for two days. He probably won’t know the reason until he arrives at the Oak Research Institute tomorrow.

The second thing is that in order to become the league champion, Xiaozhi and Pikachu have to officially start training. They must go to Professor Oak to study seriously for a period of time, and then choose a suitable place for special training.

For now, these two things are Xiao’s most important things. After all, he is not a formal trainer yet and cannot set out on a trip.

In order to be well prepared, Xiaozhi came up with the second idea. After all, such a small Pichu still has great potential to be stimulated.

As he was thinking, Xiaozhi felt a little tired. He glanced at Pichu who had already fallen asleep and stroked its little head.

"Skin………"

"Goodnight, Pichu~"

The world fell into darkness, with only silver-white light falling on the earth, and wherever it shone, it became like pure white ashes...

[Xiao Ai passed away, Xiao Zhi gained great motivation, and Dr. Fuji suffered a great blow. What will happen to them next? Please look forward to the next chapter... To be continued...]
