Pokémon Legends Ash

"Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, hurry up and get up~ Aren't we going to Professor Oak's place today? He has something important to say?"

Just as Xiaozhi and Pichu were sleeping soundly in bed, Hanako's urging voice came from downstairs.

"Hmm? Professor Oak? Professor Oak!"

Hearing his mother Hanako's urging, Xiaozhi woke up from his sleep. His originally dazed eyes quickly opened wide after he reacted, and he jumped up from the bed with a "boom", waking up the Pichu next to him.

"Skin??"

"Pikachu, I'm sorry, but I have to go to Professor Oak's place today, so please get up first~"

Xiaozhi looked at Pichu, who was woken up by him, with an apologetic look on his face, and then slowly picked it up. He went downstairs to wash up first, making sure that his daily cleaning work was done well.

"Mom, Pichu and I are going out first~~"

Arriving at the dining table, Xiaozhi picked up the sandwich on the plate and walked out. Hanako just heard the voice, and when she turned around, Xiaozhi was gone.

"Pichu, you should eat some too."

On the way to Oak Laboratory, Xiaozhi tore off a small, softer part of the sandwich and placed it on Pichu's two short hands.

"Skin~~"

Pichu first sniffed the sandwich, and after making sure it was edible, it held the sandwich, opened its mouth and began to eat it bit by bit.

The sandwich entered Pichu's mouth and propped up its cheeks. The bulging cheeks on both sides made Pichu look like a small ball.

Looking at Pikachu like this, Xiaozhi couldn't suppress the smile on his face and couldn't help but touch its little head.

Xiaozhi walked for a long time, and then a familiar white color appeared on the other side of the horizon. Xiaozhi knew that it was the color of the Oak Research Institute.

Quickening their pace, Xiaozhi and Pichu got closer and closer to the Oak Laboratory until they arrived at its door.

"Dr. Omu, here I come!"

Pushing open the door, Xiaozhi walked into the research institute and shouted loudly inside, looking for any trace of Professor Oak.

"Too slow, Xiaozhi! Why are you here just now?"

A girl's voice came from the second floor. Xiaozhi looked up and found Xiaolan staring at him with a smile.

At this moment, Xiaolan was lying on the railing on the second floor, her soft hair falling like a waterfall and her pair of blue pupils shining.

Although the other party's outfit was exactly the same as yesterday, for some reason, Xiaozhi was stunned at this moment.

"What are you still standing there for? Professor Oak is still waiting for us."

"Huh? Oh oh oh, yes, I'll come up right away."

Xiaozhi came to his senses, and after being reminded by the other party, he quickly turned around and ran up the stairs. However, he did not see that the other party's cheeks turned slightly red after he turned around.

"Is Pichu here too? So cute~"

"Skin~"

Xiaozhi just came to the second floor to meet up with Xiaolan. When the other party noticed the ball in his arms, he immediately reached out and gently stroked its little head.

Pichu made a very comfortable sound, and even when Xiaolan was about to take her hand back, it took the initiative to come up and rub her palm.

"Pichu is so cute! I wish it was my Pokémon. Xiaozhi should just give Pichu to me."

"That won't do. Pichu is my good friend! We are going to become Pokémon masters together in the future!"

Hearing what Xiaolan said, Xiaozhi's tone instantly became excited. He squeezed Pichu into his arms, fearing that the other party would snatch it away.

"Hehe~ I'm just kidding, just relax, Xiaozhi, I won't steal your Pichu~"

"Really? You really won't steal my Pichu?"

"Of course, just rest assured. Don't you believe me?"

"Well... okay, I believe you."

Xiaozhi looked at Xiaolan suspiciously, and nodded doubtfully, but he never relaxed his hands holding Pikachu for a moment.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go. Professor Oak seems to have some good news to tell us~"

Seeing Xiaozhi's serious look, Xiaolan couldn't help laughing, took his arm and walked towards the depths of the second floor.

"Hey, Xiaolan, slow down."

Xiaozhi, who was being pulled, hadn't reacted yet. He staggered and almost fell to the ground, but with Xiaolan holding him, there was a high probability that he would not fall.

Are we getting a little closer?

Xiaozhi was behind Xiaolan, looking at her back, and this thought popped up in his mind. However, no one told him the answer to this question, and the real answer was probably only known by himself.

"Professor Oak, we are here~"

"Blue and Satoshi are here too, so please sit down."

Deep inside the second floor, there is a space surrounded by bookshelves. It is not very large, and is where Professor Oak usually teaches children about Pokémon.

Xiaozhi has also come here many times. After all, he has to help Professor Oak on weekdays. When the professor is free, he will take him, Xiaolan and Xiaomao to class together.

It’s just that the learning here is too boring. For so long, he has only learned about the attributes of Pokémon.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me tell you why I called you here. I'm sure you're all curious as well."

"Yes, Professor Oak. I heard my mother say something very important. What is it?"

"Skin?"

Xiaozhi's question also aroused the curiosity of Pichu in his arms, and it followed Xiaozhi and turned its gaze to Professor Oak.

"Ahem, that's right. The most important thing for you is that Professor Oak's happy summer camp has started again."

"This is your last time to attend the summer camp I organize in Pallet Town. After you turn ten and leave for your trip, you won't be able to spend such a relaxing time with your friends again, so cherish this opportunity. I think you won't refuse it, right?"

Professor Oak said with emotion that at this moment he seemed to be able to see the summer camp held a few years ago. At that time, Xiaozhi and the other two also participated. It was at that time that the three children of similar age became close to each other. Until now, this friendship has not diminished at all.

"Summer camp? Of course I'll join! Why didn't you tell me about such an interesting thing earlier?"

"Xiaozhi, judging from your expression, it's just a summer camp. Is it necessary to be so excited?"

Although Xiao Mao said so, when you see the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, you know that he is not saying what he means at the moment.

"How can I not be excited? We first met at summer camp. I really miss it. I was so happy back then, even now~"

"Tsk, that's just Xiaozhi's idea. I don't think the memories with you are happy."

Xiao Mao refuted Xiaozhi's words in this way, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

"You say one thing and mean another. Xiao Mao, you're obviously very happy."

Xiao Lan immediately jumped out to refute Xiao Mao's insincere words, and looked into Xiao Mao's eyes quietly, as if she was a detective who saw through all the truth.

Xiao Mao, who was looking at Xiao Lan, turned his head away embarrassedly, acting like a child whose secret had been discovered.

"Dr. Oak, when does summer camp start?"

Xiaozhi ignored Xiaomao and Xiaolan, but asked about the preparation time for the summer camp. He couldn't wait to attend the summer camp with Pichu. He already had Pokémon, so he would definitely be the focus of all his peers.

“It will probably be held in the next one or two days, and will last for five days.”

"So soon? I'm really looking forward to it!!"

Xiaozhi's voice rose, full of anticipation for the upcoming summer camp. Xiaolan and Xiaomao beside him also had lights in their eyes when they heard the news.

At the same time, a car was leaving Tokiwa City and traveling along the muddy road in the forest.

"Dad, where are we going?"

In the back seat of the car, there was a little girl with long beautiful hair and a pink skirt. She was kneeling and looking at the driver's seat, asking him about the destination.

"Hasn't Xiao Ai always said that she wanted to attend a summer camp? This time, Dad's friend happens to be organizing a summer camp, and Dad is taking you to meet him now."

"Summer camp! Great! Xiao Ai's second biggest wish is to attend summer camp!"

Hearing his daughter's words, the father couldn't help but smile, and looked at his daughter in the rearview mirror from time to time while driving.

"What about the first thing you want? What is the first thing you want?"

"Hmm~~"

Xiao Ai held her chin with her fingers, and after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but said loudly: "Of course, the first thing I wanted before was to become friends with Pokémon! But now, don't tell Dad~~"

As Xiao Ai was talking, she couldn't help but move her body. Her father saw his daughter's excitement in the rearview mirror and suspected that if she hadn't been restrained by the seat belt, she would have jumped up.

"Hey~ Tell me~"

"No, no, I don't want that~~"

After returning to Pallet Town, Ash had no idea that a strange friend would come to the summer camp. He was holding Pikachu and imagining the scene of entering the summer camp.

"Is this Ash's Pokémon?"

"so cute!"

"I envy Xiaozhi so much!"

Just imagining that scene, Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile, but Xiaolan was still here. For the sake of his own image, Xiaozhi still forced himself to hold back his smile.

"Okay, okay, besides this, there are other things I need you to help with."

Looking at the amiable face of Professor Oak, Xiao Mao looked disgusted and complained, "Is there something wrong again? All you do is leave things to us kids all day long."

"Xiaomao, how can you say that? It's so fun to interact with Pokémon!"

When Xiaozhi heard Xiaomao say this about Professor Oak, he immediately became unhappy and spoke for Professor Oak.

Professor Oak glanced at Xiaomao and said nothing. He walked over to Xiaozhi and touched his head: "Okay Xiaozhi, it's okay if you don't want to help. Go to the backyard and find Pokémon to play with."

"Is it really possible? Professor Oak?"

"Actually, that matter isn't very important, hahaha. I can do it alone, you guys go have fun."

Professor Oak pulled up the confused Little Blue and pushed the three little guys to the backyard. With a gentle smile on his face, he closed the back door, leaving the three little guys alone.

"What do we do now?"

"What else can I do? Of course I'll go play!"

Looking at the endless backyard of the research institute, even Xiao Mao, who has been here countless times, would feel excited. Perhaps it is because of the various Pokémon in the backyard.

Seeing Xiaomao running away alone, Xiaolan also pulled Xiaozhi to follow behind him, wanting to see the Pokémon in the backyard.

While Xiaozhi was playing, a guest came to the research institute.

"Ding Dong!!"

"Here I come! Who is it?"

Professor Oak had just packed up the messy items in the laboratory, and when he heard the doorbell, he ran over in a hurry.

"Dr. Oak, long time no see."

"Dr. Fuji, you're here! Hahaha, the last time we saw each other was at the research institute in Honglian Town."

Seeing the person at the door, Dr. Oak greeted him enthusiastically. And in his words, the person named Dr. Fuji seemed to have recalled some memories.

"Yeah, at that time we were still working together on extracting genes from Pokémon fossils, and you were complaining every day about how there was nothing to study about a piece of broken stone."

Hearing what Dr. Fuji said, Dr. Oak smiled shyly. He was a rookie at that time, so he had not yet mastered the art of speaking like he does now.

However, in order to prevent the other party from exposing his shortcomings again, Professor Oak quickly changed the subject.

"By the way! Speaking of which, was that experiment successful?"

"I don't know. I left after you left. But after so long without any news, I guess the experiment must have failed."

"I see. It's been a while since we last met. You've changed a lot. Why are you wearing glasses now?"

"Hahaha, this is due to work. I overuse my eyes for a long time."

"In addition to research, you should also take good care of your health."

"Of course I know this."

While Dr. Fuji was happily chatting with Dr. Oak about the past and recent changes, a little girl suddenly appeared behind Dr. Fuji.

The girl did not scare Professor Oak. She lowered her head with a lost look on her face. Somehow, Professor Oak saw the shadow of Professor Fuji in her.

"Who is this?"

"Ah, this is my daughter, Xiao Ai. She really wants to attend summer camp. And I just happened to hear that you were going to hold a summer camp, so I brought her to your place..."

Dr. Fuji paused, looked at his lovely daughter Xiao Ai, hesitated for a moment, and leaned close to Dr. Oak's ear, communicating in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"The main reason is that Xiao Ai is very fragile and has a serious heart problem. The doctor said she doesn't have much time left. So... I want to fulfill her wish in this last moment."

After hearing this, Dr. Oak didn't know how to comfort his old friend for a moment. He could only pat his shoulder and sigh helplessly: "Leave her to me, I will take good care of her."

"Xiao Ai, Dad has something else to do next, can you stay with this uncle for a while?"

Xiao Ai, who was sandwiched between the two, glanced at Professor Oak, then at her father, and carefully took the former's hand.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm fine, Xiao Ai."

Dr. Fuji was also relieved to see his daughter's strength.

"Don't let the Pokémon scare her, please, Oak."

After giving Dr. Oak his final instructions, Dr. Fuji left the Oak Institute. Her daughter Xiao Ai also came to the door of the institute and watched him leave quietly, but she held Dr. Oak's hand tighter and tighter.

Take her to the lab and hopefully the kid can relax a little.

Feeling the strength in his hand, Professor Oak didn't say much. After all, he also has grandchildren and expressed understanding of Xiaoai's current mood.

In the backyard of Oak Research Institute, Xiaozhi was following not far behind Xiaolan, but suddenly he seemed to sense something and looked towards the Oak Research Institute whose outline could still be seen behind him...

[Xiaozhi and his new family come to the Oak Institute and get the news that a summer camp is about to be held. At this time, a doctor named Fuji and his daughter Xiaoai appear! Will there be any wonderful encounter between Xiaozhi and her? Let us wait and see, to be continued…]
