[Pokemon] Tracing the source

"The Diya Sea Lion lost the ability to fight, and the Wind Speed ​​Dog won! So the winner is the challenger Wendy from Ruoye Town!"

Facing the referee's voice, Sakuya walked towards the challenger with a box containing a pure white badge.

"It was a very exciting battle, Wendy, this is the proof of defeating me, the ice badge of Pure White Gym."

The blond-haired girl raised her head and took the badge box, "You are also very powerful, just like the rumors, you will not show mercy at all. To be honest, you are the first one who let me narrowly win from 3V3 to the third elf." Gym trainer."

The girl put away the badge and patted the backpack behind her, "But that's why I came here to this cold place. Sakuya, the owner of the Pure White Gym, I remember you, there will be a date later!"

After finishing speaking, the blond girl named Wendy walked out of the gymnasium without looking back.Xiao Luo jumped down from the auditorium and walked to Shuo Ye's side, watching the back of the blond girl leaving gracefully.

"How should I put it...it's bigger than I imagined." Xiao Luo rubbed his chin and commented.

Generally speaking, the phrase "XXX, I remember you" is used by the gymnasium owner to describe an excellent challenger. Unexpectedly, it is completely reversed here for Wendy.

"She also has the capital of a big name." The referee who came to the Pure White Gym because of today's game went up and gossiped, "Because she is from Ruoye Town in the Chengdu area, you may not be familiar with it, this girl is also in the league. The object of much attention. Known as a genius elf trainer, he graduated from the elf school with full marks at the age of eight, and also achieved excellent results in the previous league conferences. Commonly known as the seed player."

"The ability as a trainer is also very good." Sakuya added, "I also have a very tacit partner, the elf. Judging from the level of the battle just now, he does have the strength to win the Bailan Conference."

"Hey—so amazing." Although he knew that the person who could beat Shuo Ye and get the pure white badge at once must be very powerful, Xiao Luo couldn't help sighing after hearing Wendy's resume.

"How can you sigh so irrelevant?" Shuo Ye turned to look at the white-haired girl and raised her eyebrows.

"Huh?" Xiao Luo didn't respond.

"According to your habit in the alliance meeting, you may meet her in the first or second round." Shuo Ye said to the point.

Xiao Luo slowly opened her mouth wide, and successfully froze in place.

******

So from the time when she came out of the pure white gymnasium until before lunch, Xiao Luo was in a state of despair. When she thought that she might meet Wendy in the first round after collecting all seven badges to enter the Bailan Conference, Xiao Luo felt that the whole People are not so good.

——What Sakuya said is correct... According to her lucky E urine, she will definitely meet this current favorite to win the championship in the first two rounds!

Recalling the golden monster and the wind speed dog in the battle just now, as well as the sharp offensive and calm attitude of the blond girl, Xiao Luo thought for a long time and still didn't feel that he was sure to defeat her now.

Not to mention defeating Wendy, she isn't even sure about the pure white badge at the moment.

Since the first practice match, Xiao Luo also tried to challenge Shuo Ye many times, but all of them were defeated without exception.After several experiences, Xiao Luo also found that he needed to adjust, so he calmed down and planned to work hard with his elves before formally engaging in gymnasium battles.

However, Wendy of the same age managed to get the pure white badge once.

Dejected and sighing, Xiao Luo lay down beside the bamboo mat where Grandpa Yuto had taken a nap before, feeling a little helpless.

"Waowao~!" Leolu ran to her side, seemingly puzzled as to why his owner lost energy after returning from the gym, "Waowao?"

"I'm fine, Leo." Xiao Luo stood up and straightened the beige scarf around his neck.Since buying this scarf in the breeding house shop under the snow-capped mountains, Riolu has been wearing it and never took it off. It seems that he likes it very much.

"Wao!" Leolu tilted his head, thinking about something, and then sprinted to Grandma Yuko and Grandpa Yuto, gesticulating back and forth.

Xiao Luo didn't pay much attention to it, she lay down on the bamboo mat and continued to hold the corpse.After a while, she smelled a delicious smell, which was the smell of the pure white city's secret hot pot soup base. Xiao Luo, who had eaten it several times, would naturally be familiar with it, and immediately revived on the spot with full blood and full state.

"Waowao!" Leolu made a triumphant gesture towards his grandpa and grandma, as if he was sure that this would restore Xiao Luo's spirit.

And Xiao Luo did not disappoint everyone. With the delicious secret hot pot, all the troubles are no longer troubles.Blaming yourself all the time is not the answer, the important thing is to move forward!

"Yoxi, let's start today's special training after lunch, everyone!"

"That's the momentum, Xiao Luo!" Grandpa Yuto picked up a chopstick of cabbage, raised his head and praised, "As long as I don't give up, I can overcome any difficulties!"

"Eat as soon as you eat, who will show you dancing?" Grandma Yuzi scolded, and put some mushrooms into his wife's bowl.

Shuo Ye quietly simmered the hot pot, and felt that it was interesting that food was like a panacea for Xiao Luo. With a smile, he watched the white-haired girl quickly return to her usual state of passion, and began to plan the afternoon special. training to do anything.

Little Luo probably didn't realize that such a trait of being able to recover quickly is more valuable than a mind that can calmly formulate tactics.

******

After completing a day of special training and having a pleasant dinner time, Xiao Luo finally ushered in the time to relax—to soak in the hot spring.

I have to say that the hot springs at Sakuya's house are truly unique.After a tiring day, soaking in the warm hot soup can relax the muscles of the whole body; looking up, you can see the clear night sky and the cold moon, and occasionally you can see small snowflakes falling from the void, which is a real snow hot spring.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Xiao Luo soaked in the hot soup, stretching her limbs comfortably.The fire-breathing dragon and the round land shark who don't like soaking in water still didn't come, and the remaining three ivy snakes, Lioru and Pink Egg, didn't have a water fight; one sat on the stone by the pool, One was lying on its back and floating on the water, and the other was lying on the shore and fell asleep.

——You must be exhausted, the amount of training today is not easy.

Looking at the three that were rarely quiet, the corners of Xiao Luo's lips curled up, but soon tightened up again.

The elves are working so hard, as a trainer, I should also be decent.

She silently slid to the bottom of the hot spring, let the water submerge her nose, and then spit out bubbles like a fish.

After so many days of special training, she still wasn't sure about formally challenging the Pure White Gym.

Xiao Luo knew where her problem was.Not theory, not tactics, not even the determination and indomitable courage to win.

—she was afraid.

Facing a formidable opponent like Sakuya, it was easy to remind her of the disastrous defeats in the previous alliance conferences.Even though she worked so hard to get the badge and go to fight, she still missed every single move and was completely defeated; the applause from the audience went to the victorious opponent, and no one paid attention to her who was eliminated in the preliminary round.

It is said to regain the goal and start a new journey, but it is not easy to completely forget the deep shadow of the past.When the tactic was seen through, when the winning trick was evaded, she had to use all her strength to stop the flustered feeling of 'can't win' in her heart.

She's such a useless trainer.

Xiao Luo vomited bubbles for a while, and suddenly felt a pain in her chest, and quickly stood up to check.

Slightly lifted the bath towel wrapped around her body, there was a strange black mark under the skin on her left front chest, like a burning flame entwined with curling clouds.This black fire cloud pattern has been here since Xiao Luo could remember, and whenever she had serious negative emotions, she would feel a dull pain.

Xiao Luo also couldn't tell what it was, if it was a birthmark, was there such a fantastic birthmark?

Could it be that there is a mark of magic power, and she is actually the reincarnation of an ancient goddess, who is destined to rule the world with divine beasts in the future?

——Well, this is just a random delusion caused by reading too many novels.

Fortunately, besides the pain when she was in a negative mood, this fire cloud pattern has caused other harms over the years. Rather, it is because of the existence of this mark that Xiao Luo has formed a hot-blooded and single-minded personality. They all look full of energy.

Suddenly there was a soft sound at the door, followed by the sound of an object entering the water from the opposite side of the partition.Xiao Luo swam over and leaned against the partition, and asked a question tentatively.

"Suo Ye?"

"Yeah." The expected answer came from the other side of the partition.Xiao Luo couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, even bathing in hot springs is such a quiet person, as expected only Shuo Ye.

"Is Ibrahimovic alright?"

Because of the excessive amount of exercise today, Ibrahimovic accidentally ate too much at dinner, his stomach became a ball, and he lay on the ground humming in pain.Sakuya had no choice but to rub it as much as possible and lead Ibrahimovic to do slow exercises to help digestion, so he didn't come to the hot spring pool until now.

"buyibuyi~!" Mao Tuanzi's energetic voice answered her.

"It's fine, just be careful next time."

"buyi~"

The sound of splashing water came from the opposite side of the partition, as well as Shuo Ye's helpless exhortations.

"Don't splash water my way, Eevee."

"buyi~~" Xiaomao Tuanzi, who knew his temper well, didn't listen at all, and still played happily.

"It's such a good relationship~" Xiao Luo leaned against the partition and sat down, continuing to spit bubbles in the water.

The boy on the opposite side didn't reply, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth with a hint of speculation.

"Frustrated?"

After watching the gymnastics match, Xiao Luo felt a little downcast, and she had never seen her so depressed before.Sakuya thought about it for a long time, and finally attributed it to his own words, "It is estimated that we will meet Wendy in the first or second round".After all, it was Xiao Luo's shadow for many years before, even if he planned to regain his strength, it probably wouldn't be so easy to forget.

I may have said a little too much.

"Is it obvious?" Xiao Luo didn't know Shuo Ye's introspection, and raised her head from the water, "Sorry, I made you worry...I'll be fine soon."

Shuo Ye didn't seem too happy about her perfunctory apology, her voice paused, "The reason for your frustration is because you think you can't beat me, and you can't win the Bai Lan Conference?"

The girl was a little silent, and Shuo Ye also swam over to lean against the partition, and there was only a layer of bamboo between Xiao Luo and her.

"I didn't think that way." Xiao Luo's voice was muffled, "It's just...it kind of brought back memories, so I doubted my efforts so far."

"I also want to be like Sakuya, calm and calm no matter what happens. But... I still can't do it."

"Why do you want to become like me?" Sakuya raised his head, and his voice came through the partition, "Even if you still need to improve and perfect, Xiao Luo, you still have your own fighting style, and that is the most suitable method for you. You don't have to force yourself to adapt to other people's ways, shouldn't elf battles be something to enjoy with your partner?"

"Do I have... my own style, too?"

"Your current fighting style is the result of studying hard after losing the tournament. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine that Xiao Luo can skillfully use the combination of attributes and unique moves to formulate special tactics." Shuo Ye smiled.

Xiao Luo was taken aback. The way she used to now was indeed born after studying at home. Reasonable use of the elf's unique skills and attributes to restrict each other is the most orthodox way of fighting; before, she was more passionate and impulsive on the battlefield. To use Xiao Chu's words to evaluate it, "it's like a cantero rampaging", completely ignoring the gap between the attribute and the evolved body.

"Compared to constantly creating traps and gaps, a passionate and straightforward fighting style is more suitable for fighting against players who are on the same level as you, because you will always encounter a powerful opponent who can see through all your tactics and seems to be invincible. The only way to let go from the beginning Only by rushing forward can we regain the chance of victory.”

That's why, that's why in the battle at that time, Sakuya and Wendy chose to fight head-to-head at the same time——

Xiao Luo looked thoughtfully at the cold moonlight above her head.

After possessing sufficient theoretical knowledge so as not to make some low-level mistakes, is the fighting method that she originally suspected and believed to be the cause of her failure actually the most suitable route for her?

"Thank you, Sakuya." She thanked the young man who was also leaning on the partition behind her, Xiao Luo smiled slightly, "Although I still don't have a clue, but I feel much more relaxed."

"Waowao!" Lioulu, who was lying on the bank and fell asleep, woke up at some point, and happily rushed towards Xiao Luo, plunged into her arms, and knocked against the not-so-strong partition for a while. rock.

"Suo Ye?"

There was a sound of falling into the water behind him, but Sakuya was thrown into the water by the partition board that could not withstand the sudden leap of Riolu.Xiao Luo smiled and patted Leolu on the head, "Don't be so rash next time, Leo."

"waowao!"

"buyi, buyi~!" Ibrahimovic swam over with his short legs and wanted to save his own trainer who fell into the water, but he accidentally helped the black-haired boy almost drown in the water.

"buy~!"

After struggling for a long time, he finally popped his head up. Before Shuo Ye had time to take a breath, he was thrown by Ibrahimovic, and fell backwards because of his unsteady center of gravity.

After being pressed to the limit, the partition made a tooth-piercing sound, finally overwhelmed and fell down to Xiao Luo's side together with Shuo Ye.

The author has something to say:

The scene of Xueshan Hot Spring, which I had imagined from the outline, is finally written! T^T
