Pokémon Legends Ash

"Xiaozhi, where are you going?!"

"Sorry, Xiaolan, please go first. I'm going to the bathroom!"

Xiaozhi, who was following behind Xiaolan, suddenly felt something strange in his abdomen. Before he could explain anything, he was already desperately rushing back with Pichu.

"Toilet! Toilet!"

Xiaozhi ran back to the research institute in a hurry, but didn't feel anything happening when he saw the quiet research institute. Being familiar with Professor Oak, he knew that he must have returned to the laboratory again.

And he wasn't here to look for Professor Oak. After walking through the familiar corridor, Xiaozhi found the toilet at the end. He placed Pichu on the sofa at the door and rushed in while his legs and feet kicked up dust.

"Is there anyone there?"

The door of the laboratory on the first floor was opened, and Professor Oak poked his head out. He had just heard footsteps and thought it was Xiaozhi and the others who had returned so quickly, but when he saw the empty laboratory, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, let's continue looking at Pokémon information."

Professor Oak held Xiao Ai with one hand and slid the large screen of the laboratory with the other hand. With a light tap, a picture of a Pokémon appeared on the screen.

This Pokémon has a star-like outline and its body is covered with pink fur. It looks cute and attracts Xiao Ai's attention.

For children of Xiaoai's age, cute and handsome Pokémon tend to attract more of their attention.

Professor Oak is well aware of this, so he chose cute Pokémon that girls will like, and this time the Pokémon he chose is Pikachu.

"This is Pibaobao. It was first discovered in Chengdu. Based on its appearance, some people say it came here on a meteor. There is also a legend that the place where Pibaobao appeared is where the meteorite fell."

"Pikbaby...what a cute Pokémon!"

Xiao Ai didn't listen to much, she just knew that this cute Pokémon was called Pibo. This was normal for her age, after all, she couldn't understand most of the popular science that Professor Oak said.

Do you like Pipibaby? Why not take out the Pipibaby that has been captured by the traveling trainers in the town before, and make Xiaoai even happier.

If you think about it, you must do it. Professor Oak glanced at Xiao Ai who had been looking at the photo, and turned to the warehouse where the Pokémon were kept without any hesitation.

"Clap!"

Professor Oak left and closed the door of the laboratory. The noise instantly attracted Pikachu who was waiting at the door of the toilet.

Its little head was looking back and forth between the toilet and the laboratory, as if it was hesitating whether to continue waiting for Xiaozhi or to go and check out the laboratory itself first.

After thinking for a while, Pichu ran away from the toilet door and came to the door of the laboratory.

Now, opening the door became Pichu's problem.

However, this did not faze it. It leaped into the air with all its might and hugged the door handle. After touching the door handle, Pichu held it with both hands and swung its body downwards, generating gravity to successfully open the door of the laboratory.

With a "click", the door was opened and Pichu poked its little head inside, just in time to meet the eyes of Xiaoai, whose attention was attracted by the sound of the door opening.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Pichu ran away first, running towards the toilet. At the same time, the sound of flushing could be faintly heard from the toilet.

On the other side, Xiao Ai obviously didn't react when she saw Pichu at first. She only reacted after the other party left. She tilted her head and looked at the door: "What is that? Pokémon? So cute!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ai had the idea of ​​making friends with the other person. Without thinking, she ran out of the laboratory and looked left and right.

Xiaozhi had just come out of the toilet at this time, and was about to go to the backyard to find Xiaolan again when Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder.

After taking a few steps, he saw a girl he didn't recognize rushing out of the laboratory. She had long light blue hair and looked like a porcelain doll, but her face looked too pale, and her eyes were shining as if they were talking.

Somehow, when Xiaozhi looked into her eyes, he seemed to be able to understand the meaning of her eyes.

"I want to be friends with Pichu." This is what Xiaozhi felt from the other's eyes.

"Hello, my name is Ash and it's Pichu."

Seeing the desire in her eyes, Xiaozhi didn't think she was a bad person. He introduced himself and Pichu while approaching each other.

"Hello...Hello, my name is Xiao Ai."

Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, and when she noticed Xiaozhi approaching, she did not run away. Instead, she was attracted by the Pichu on his shoulder.

"Why is Xiao Ai at the Oak Research Institute?"

"I wanted to attend summer camp, so my dad brought me here."

Facing the boy in front of her, Xiao Ai answered truthfully, but her eyes were always fixed on the Pichu on his shoulder.

Of course, Xiaozhi also noticed the other party's gaze. He looked at Pichu and whispered in its ear: "Pichu, are you willing to play with her for a while?"

"Pi, Pichu!"

Xiaozhi felt relieved when he saw Pikachu like this. He didn't expect that this little guy was so sensible shortly after being born.

"Xiao Ai, do you like Pichu?"

"Uh-huh!!"

Xiao Ai nodded vigorously, shaking her head up and down, moving her long hair.

Xiaozhi was also affected by the other party's fiery enthusiasm. He gently picked up Pichu from his shoulder, stroked its head and handed it to Xiaoai.

"Would you like to feel it?"

Xiao Ai hesitated for a moment, but when she saw how cute Pikachu was, she couldn't help herself and reached out to touch its little tail.

Just when Xiao Ai was playing happily with Xiao Zhi and Pichu, Tokiwa City welcomed its guest, Xiao Ai's father - Dr. Fuji.

As a large city in Kanto and the one closest to the Alliance, Viridian City is relatively developed. Whether it is education or medical care, it is one of the best in Kanto.

Tokiwa Hospital, one of the best hospitals in the Kanto region, is located in the western suburbs of Tokiwa City, on the city's border.

Dr. Fuji drove to the gate of Tokiwa Hospital, walked in with a worried look on his face, went upstairs skillfully, and walked to the door of an office.

Dr. Fuji stood at the door, wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his palms, and then reached for the door handle, but he hesitated when he opened the door. As if he was not brave enough to make a decision, his hand stopped, and his frown seemed to be afraid of something.

"Click!"

"Hmm? Dr. Fuji, you're here? I was just looking for you."

The office door suddenly opened, startling Dr. Fuji. He quickly took a few steps back, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was the doctor he was familiar with who walked out.

"Dr. Breen, I'm here again. I want to ask about my daughter's report..."

"It's out. It's right here with me."

"what's the result?"

"You will know if you come with me."

Looking at Dr. Breen's serious face, Fuji felt an ominous premonition and imagined the worst outcome in his mind.

"Here's your daughter's report."

Walking into the office, Dr. Breen sat down at his usual desk and picked up the file on the desk and handed it to Dr. Fuji.

Dr. Fuji already knew the result before he opened the file. Or rather, he had started to suspect it before he even walked in, because his serious look could easily lead to other things.

He took the report from Dr. Breen and it was as he expected. Although it was sad to say this, it was exactly the same result as he had imagined.

"Your daughter's illness is irreversible. At least let her spend her last moments happily. As a father, you should spend your time with her."

As a doctor and a father, Brin felt a pain in his heart when he said this.

Dr. Fuji did not reply. He just stared blankly at the report in his hand. His eyes were dead and without any light.

As a father like Dr. Fuji, he can understand this feeling. If it were his child who hadn't lived for long, he wouldn't know how he would accept it.

I had clearly guessed the ending, and I clearly felt that I could accept it, but after knowing the result, why did I still feel this way?

Fuji didn't understand, but if he were to ask himself if he could accept it, then he would have only one answer now.

I can’t accept this! I can’t accept this! I can’t accept this at all! My daughter is still so young! She still has a bright future ahead of her and hasn’t realized her dreams yet! I haven’t even seen her grow up to be as tall as me!

Dr. Fuji was extremely unwilling in his heart. He desperately wanted a method, a method to save his daughter, a method that could allow his daughter to live forever. He was willing to touch it even if it was a taboo!

At this moment, a light flashed in Dr. Fuji's eyes, but that light was black.

"Fuji, come on, even if it's for Xiao Ai, you have to keep going with a smile."

"Don't worry, Brin, I know what I should do, for Xiao Ai!"

Dr. Brin looked at Dr. Fuji in front of him and didn't say much. He just patted his shoulder, hoping that he could hold on.

"Okay, Bryn, I gotta go."

"Let's go, let's go back and spend more time with Xiao Ai."

Dr. Fuji did not reply, but simply responded with a smile. When leaving, Dr. Brin looked at Fuji's departing back and always felt a sense of foreboding.

"Ugh……"

After Dr. Fuji left, Dr. Brin sighed and decided to open the window to get some fresh air to relieve his depressed mood.

"The sky is gloomy. Is it going to rain?"

Dr. Fuji drove out of the hospital, but he did not return to Pallet Town immediately. Instead, he drove towards the city of Tokiwa. No one knew where his destination was or what he planned to do.

"Pichu's face is so soft~~"

"Right! Pichu is my proudest companion!"

When Pichu was praised by Xiaoai, Xiaozhi seemed very happy, and a smug expression appeared on his face, as if he was the one being praised.

“I want a friend like this too!”

Seeing the desire in Xiaoai's eyes, Xiaozhi and Pichu looked at each other, as if they had reached some agreement. The corners of their mouths widened and they smiled and said, "Then let's be friends with Pichu."

"Eh?! Is it possible? Can I really be friends with Pichu?"

"Of course, Pichu would be happy to do that, right~~"

"Pippi Pichu!"

Pichu nodded without refutation. Seeing Little Love's hands stretched out involuntarily, it also stretched out its own short hands and touched the other's.

"We're really friends! Pichu and I are really friends!"

Xiao Ai jumped up and down excitedly like a happy rabbit, holding Pikachu's hands tightly with both hands and not letting go for a second.

"Xiaozhi? Why are you here?"

At this moment, Professor Oak returned to the door of the laboratory with a Poké Ball with a crescent moon on top, blue and black in the upper half, and mainly white in the lower half.

"Dr. Oak, I came back to use the restroom, and then I ran into Ai."

Xiaozhi didn't hide anything. He pointed at Xiaoai and Pichu, his cheeks flushed and he looked very excited.

"Professor Oak, Ai and Pichu are now good friends too!"

"Oh? Really? It seems like you take good care of Xiao Ai."

Professor Oak smiled. He originally thought that Fuji brought Xiao Ai to his summer camp because he was worried that she would not be able to make friends of the same age.

However, Xiao Ai, Xiao Zhi and Pichu started playing together so quickly that he didn't need to worry. He believed that as long as Xiao Zhi was there, Xiao Ai would not be left alone.

"Ash, Pichu, can you bring Ai along to play?"

Professor Oak said this, hiding the Poké Ball in his right hand that had not yet been discovered by Satoshi and Ai behind him, and pointed with his left hand to the window behind the two of them, which was the backyard where he raised Pokémon.

"of course!"

"Pi! Pichu!"

Xiaozhi and Pichu excitedly agreed to Professor Oak's request. In their eyes, being able to take Xiao Ai out to play was a matter of course, or rather, they had always thought so.

"Come on, Xiao Ai, let's go~"

"Okay...ok."

Looking at the hand extended by Xiaozhi, Xiaoai, who was originally a little hesitant and didn't know how to choose, made up her mind in an instant after seeing the expectant look of Pichu on Xiaozhi's shoulder.

Xiao Ai placed her hand on Xiao Zhi's palm, and the two children held hands and walked into the backyard of the Oak Research Institute together.

"Popo, Popo~"

“Chichichichi~~”

Each Pidgeot was flying in the air, bringing a cool breeze with each flap of its wings. In the bush, Rattata was flying back and forth with a blue orange in his mouth, followed by an angry unicorn beetle.

"So many Pokémon!"

It seemed like this was the first time that Xiao Ai had seen such a scene. She looked very excited. Before Xiao Zhi could say anything, she ran towards the nearby woods alone.

Ash and Pichu looked at each other, smiled at each other, and followed Ai's steps, coming to her side as she walked into the woods.

The Pokémon stored in Professor Oak's backyard are all captured by trainers traveling out of Pallet Town, and of course there are also Pokémon from other regions as well.

Some of them Xiaozhi can name, such as Butterfree, Pidgeot, Hornet, and Poliwag.

There were some Pokémon that Xiaozhi didn't recognize, and he thought that these Pokémon were not from the Kanto region. After all, he had no impression of these Pokémon at all, as if Professor Oak had never mentioned them in his memory.

For example, one of the Pokémon has a round body, its entire body is blue like water, and it has a round tail behind it.

When Xiao Ai saw this strange Pokémon, she couldn't help but reach out to make contact with it.

However, this strange Pokémon seemed very shy. After seeing Xiao Ai approaching a little, it ran away again. This made the latter feel very depressed. It lowered its head and looked listless, as if it had lost its life.

"Skin~~"

But at this moment, Pikachu jumped from Xiaozhi's shoulder to Xiaoai's shoulder, and couldn't help but touch her head with his short hands to cheer her up.

"Thank you, Pichu, I feel much better~"

Pikachu's method really worked. After just a moment, Xiao Ai seemed to be resurrected with full health and continued to lead Xiaozhi to the depths of the backyard. She didn't seem to be hit at all.

[Xiaozhi and Xiaoai finally meet and become good friends. How will Dr. Fuji spend the rest of his life? What will Xiaoai do with her deadline? Will anyone come to help her in the end? Everything is still unknown, so stay tuned. To be continued…]
