The lively dinner stopped and everyone fell asleep.

The bright moonlight reflected on the blue sea, making the night as bright as day.

The whole sailboat glowed with blue fluorescence.

Xiaozhi, who drank too much water during the day, got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. When he passed by the deck, he was helped to lean against the edge of the boat. The girl's quiet back attracted his attention.

"It's so late, why don't you sleep?"

Xiaozhi gradually increased the treading noise to avoid suddenly scaring the other party. Before approaching, he asked in a gentle voice.

Xiaoxi's slender back paused, and the girl's beautiful face turned slightly, revealing a somewhat far-fetched smile, "Xiaozhi, can't you sleep either?"

"Are you worried?"

Xiaozhi did not answer her question directly. He felt that the other party was not in a good mood. He leaned against the edge of the boat next to her, cast his eyes on the calm sea, and asked back.

Xiaoxi lowered her head in silence, staring at the horizon in a daze.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a long time. Xiaozhi rubbed his brows with a headache and said, "Is it because I defeated Mr. Genji that you are unhappy?"

"Nonsense, I won't be like this!" Xiaoxi turned her head and explained.

She didn't want to be misunderstood as a stingy girl, especially when the other party was Xiaozhi.

"So you were hit by my excellence?" Xiaozhi saw that she finally spoke, and couldn't help but continue to joke.

But this time, Xiaoxi fell silent again, her expression seemed a little lonely, and under the moonlight, it was a little sad.

He was moved in his heart and said a little surprised, "Are you really hit by me?"

Xiaoxi nodded and shook her head. Her current state is very different from the past. There is no trace of the previous straightforwardness and strength in her.

Instead, she looks a bit like a wounded kitten, which makes people feel pity.

"Before, my parents were not around, and I was brought up by my grandfather." Xiaoxi said suddenly with drooping eyelids.

"Although Grandpa and Brother Liangguang are very kind to me, and Uncle Adu often brings gifts to see me, but when I grow up, I still can't help asking where my parents are."

Xiaozhi listened quietly, and couldn't help but recall his father who had no memory of his previous life since he was a child, and felt more distressed for his mother Hanako.

People, in fact, whether adults or children, emotional swords and lonely graves are the most haunting.

Wait until the Caiyou Conference is over and stay at home for a while.

Xiaozhi thought so.

"Later, when I grew up, I realized that my parents were not busy, so they didn't come back to see me, but disappeared when they went to other areas to explore..."

Xiaoxi paused when she said this.

Xiaozhi couldn't help asking, "Are uncles and aunts Pokémon researchers?"

Seeing her nod, Xiaozhi continued with emotion, "They must love this job very much, right?"

Although he didn't think this was fair to Xiaoxi, and from what she described, the tsundere girl was still quite young at that time.

What reason could you have to entrust your baby to your elders and go to work in a foreign land?

But it seems...

There are many such cases in the previous life and this world.

"Because my mother is from Kanto, that is, Uncle Adu's sister, the Grand Duke of the Yulong Clan did not seem to agree with my mother and father being together."

"It was my grandfather who had just been promoted to the Four Heavenly Kings who brought them to the Fengyuan area and gave birth to me."

"But in order to make the Yulong Clan agree with their choice, my parents tried so hard to contribute to the study of elves."

To put it bluntly, even if Mr. Genji rose from humble beginnings, he was not a good match in the eyes of the Yulong Clan.

This led to Mr. Genji, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, being half hidden behind the scenes, often galloping on the sea, and rarely asking about worldly affairs.

It seems that no matter which world it is, the families among the upper class are not so harmonious and happy.

"So I have a dream. One day in the future, I will become the champion master of Fengyuan area, and then prove with facts that my parents' original choice was correct." Xiaoxi's stubborn eyes were shining.

"It's not a big problem. After all, I am a man who wants to be a Pokémon master." Xiaozhi blinked and smiled, "It's not shameful for the future champion master of Fengyuan area to lose to me."

Xiaoxi was startled and laughed, "You are so shameless."

This smile made the gloomy atmosphere melt a little.

"So, Xiaozhi..."

Xiaoxi's tone was full of reluctance, and she still said, "I may have to stay and continue to study with grandpa, and I can't travel with you."

Xiaozhi was stunned, and she explained, "After watching your battle with grandpa today, I felt that I still need to work harder. I hope to haveOne day, I will be as good as you, and then..."

The girl's eyes suddenly became firm, and a bright blush appeared on her cheeks, "By then, can I travel with you?"

The moonlight sprinkled down, and the girl's feelings were revealed for the first time, and her pink cheeks were very charming.

And Xiaoxi, who had not waited for a long time for an answer, was a little disappointed, and then heard Xiaozhi say, "No problem!"

Even though he was inexperienced, he could understand the other party's intentions. If there was a chance in the future, traveling together would be a good partner.

"Then, let's get to know each other again. My name is Xiaozhi, the tsundere girl." Xiaozhi smiled and stretched out his hand.

Xiaoxi raised her head, showing a bright smile, and then hummed, "My name is Yuan Xiaoxi, remember it well, stinky Xiaozhi!"

"Haha, after that, we will meet again at the Caiyou Conference."

"Wait, I will definitely beat you!"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait, the future Fengyuan champion master~"

"Coaxing a child, annoying guy. "

The two chatted until the white morning light rose from the horizon. Finally, Xiaozhi, whose eyelids were fighting, couldn't help but say hello to her and went back to the cabin to rest.

Xiaoxi stared at his back as he left.

She didn't know when this boy had entered her heart. She always thought of him when she was happy or sad.

It might be his tolerance and comfort to her when they first met.

It might also be that when facing the evil organization, he always left the rear to her, but stood alone in front, and the figure engraved in her eyes.

(Xiaozhi: I am guilty. I just wanted to collect points at that time.)

If it wasn't for today After watching the battle, Xiaoxi had a lot of thoughts. Xiaoxi might not be willing to give up the opportunity to travel with Xiaozhi.

At the exit of the deck, Genji leaned against the wall, sighed, and finally left with a smile.

When leaving the next day, everyone was very surprised to hear that Xiaoxi was going to stay, especially Xiaoyao, who couldn't stop the disappointment on her face.

Finally, after agreeing to meet again at the Caiyou Conference, Xiaozhi and others said goodbye to Genji and Xiaoxi, and continued their journey to the eighth gym.

In order to save time, they planned to take a boat across the inland sea and first go to Priga City on Izabe Island to participate in the gorgeous competition to be held there.
