[Pokémon] Return to Shenao

Knowing the news that Miss Mikan is coming to participate in the gorgeous contest, Xiao Liang was only surprised for a while, then said goodbye to Miss Mikan flatly, and continued to complete his planning tasks for the elves step by step.

After all, no matter how powerful the opponent's elves are, this is a gorgeous contest that focuses on expressing elves!She won't give up so easily!

With such confidence, Xiaoliang increased the intensity of targeted training by two points.

In this regard, she is very firm:

Don't blame me, this is the hard work and sweat that must be put in to win the championship!

...Well, she admitted that although she kept saying that she was not afraid, she was still a little flustered OTZ

and……

"Although I feel relieved about the gorgeous contest, but this way I feel that there is no 'things for Xiaoguang'!" At the corner of the Fairy Center in Light Yellow City, Xiao Liang is doing a routine with his family between calls.

【I don't want my sister to do things for me!It's enough for my sister to take care of herself! ] Xiaoguang on the other end of the phone looked helpless.

"But in this way, what is the meaning of my life as sister Xiaoguang! QAQ!"

…………

Xiaoguang was unable to support his forehead.

#Come on who ah hurry up and take my sister away! #

Caizi's mother reached for the phone and relieved Xiaoguang's embarrassment: [In short, Xiaoliang, you should solve your mentality problem as soon as possible. If you maintain this kind of mood, you can't win in the gorgeous contest, okay? 】

"Of course I know this too!" Xiaoliang pouted, eyes narrowed, coquettish with Caizi's mother: "That's why I called home!"

As long as I talk to Xiaoguang on the phone, hear my sister's voice and see her cute face, she will definitely be able to adjust her state well!

[Mom also agrees with what Xiaoguang said, Xiaoliang, you should take care of yourself first before talking. 】

"What! I can already take care of myself! Look, I have obtained the advanced certificate of the elf breeder!" Xiao Liang took out the certificate from the bag on the side, and spread it in front of the camera to show Caizi's mother, "said Okay, let Xiaoguang travel with me when I get the advanced certificate!"

[That's just a request you set yourself!I didn't say that. 】Ayako's mother shook her head and sighed.

"Hmm..." Xiaoliang thought for a while, it seems that this is indeed the case _(:з」∠)_

"Well, anyway, let's put these things aside for now. Is Qixi Blue Bird doing well at home? Nothing happened, right?" Xiao Liang asked with some concern.This Tanabata blue bird has been sluggish since the last accidental evolution. Xiaoliang was worried that something new would happen to it during the trip, so she left it at home and let Caizi's mother and Xiaoguang take care of it together.

【No problem!Now I am eating a lot of food every day, and I have a good appetite! 】Caizi's mother smiled and comforted Xiaoliang.

"The kid doesn't have any other hobbies besides eating..." Xiao Liang smiled helplessly, but she was indeed relieved - being able to eat with peace of mind meant that the situation had improved, right?

[Yeah, thanks to Xiaoguang, she made a lot of muffins for Qixi Blue Bird!Now Xiaoguang's craftsmanship is getting better and better. If this continues, getting married will not be a problem! 】

【Mom, what are you talking about!My goal is to become a top coordination trainer, it's too early to talk about marriage, okay? 】

"No! Xiaoguang has to pass my test to get married!!"

Xiaoguang and Xiaoliang retorted at the same time. After Xiaoguang reacted, he didn't even care about continuing to be ashamed of his mother's words, so he blushed and yelled at Xiaoliang: [Sister!sister! 】

"Wow, I was wrong, I was wrong! Xiaoguang, don't be angry, please forgive me!" Xiaoliang found that he seemed to have accidentally said what was in his heart, and quickly apologized to Xiaoguang, clasping his hands together.

[Really... Hey, sister, do you still wear that wrist ornament? 】Xiaoguang was furious facing Xiaoliang who was far away in the urban area, but couldn't express it, so she had to give up, but at the same time, she also noticed the wrist ornaments on Xiaoliang's wrists that had begun to fade.

"Yeah, after all, it's the first gift that Xiaoguang gave me that can last for a long time! The wreaths and bouquets usually withered in less than a week... What a pity..." Xiaoliang's gaze followed Xiaoguang's fingers moved to his wrist, and he rubbed the bracelet against his face—"I really like it!"

【However, that was already something I made when I was in kindergarten!Woow, it looks so rough now... Sister, stop rubbing, you look so shy! 】

"There is no such thing!" Xiaoliang shook his head, "This contains Xiaoguang's intentions, I really like it!"

【En...】The more Xiao Liang said that, the more shy Xiao Guang became, and finally made a decision: 【Then...】

But at this moment, the 10-minute call time had already started counting down, Xiao Liang hurriedly pressed the button to continue the call, and then continued to raise his head and asked Xiao Guang: "What's wrong?"

[No, it's okay, let's talk about it after my sister comes home!Then this gorgeous contest has to work hard! 】 Xiaoguang smiled dryly and waved his hands.

"Is it...?" Seeing Xiaoguang bluntly changing the subject, Xiaoliang cast a skeptical look, seeing Xiaoguang's back sweating profusely before letting her go, "Well, forget it."

Seeing Xiaoliang let him go, Xiaoguang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Caizi's mother also stepped forward to cheer Xiaoliang together with Xiaoguang:

[Come on, Xiao Liang! /Sister, come on! 】

"En! Work hard to win the championship, no-question-problem! Then, see you next time!" Xiaoliang said Xiaoguang's mantra with a smile, then waved to the family on the screen, hung up the phone, and went from Pulled out his elf illustration book from the card slot.

As long as you become a trainer recognized by the major doctors and get the illustration book issued by the doctor, you can use the various facilities of the elf center for free. This is a corresponding policy made by the country to encourage everyone to go out and become an elf trainer.

Under the ten-year-old adult system, as long as the children reach the age of ten, they can obtain the qualification to travel independently, and they can get one elf and five elf balls from the doctoral research institute closest to their hometown as the starting point for the trip. capital.But because the risk of traveling is too high and there are too many dangers, only one or two out of ten children officially embark on the journey, and most of them choose to stay in their hometown to continue their studies, and then grow up to become ordinary people. of white-collar workers.

In the year Xiaoliang set off, she was the only one in Futaba Town who got the initial elf from Dr. Yamanashi in Zhensha Town and embarked on a journey.

Xiao Liang took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser on the side, and sat on the sofa in the elf center to observe the people coming and going.

in love...

Well, there are some things that should be put on the charter as soon as possible ==+

"Lucky!" A clear and gentle voice came from the side, and Xiao Liang looked up, and Miss Joy's lucky egg was waving at him behind the counter.The chubby auspicious eggs are always Miss Joy's best helpers. Looking at their gentle smiles, you will feel that all the fatigue on your body will disappear.

And their eggs are delicious too (ˉ﹃ˉ)

Ah no, now is not the time to think about these things!

Xiao Liang hurriedly shook her head and walked over. Before she could reach the counter, another lucky egg had already pushed out a cart from the counter. The Ivy Snake that was lying on it saw Xiao Liang and jumped out of the cart. Next, propped up his body with the rattan whip, and landed in front of Xiao Liang with a front flip.

"Is it all right?" Xiao Liang asked worriedly to the Ivy Snake as he leaned down.

"Jano!" Ivy Snake nodded and called out to Xiaoliang.Then he waved his two short hands, swaying left and right to let Xiaoliang see the place where he was injured before and now healed.

"Okay, okay, I know you are already healthy." Xiaoliang stopped it funny, and then she suddenly felt that something moved around her waist.Xiao Liang looked down suspiciously, and was snapped open by the first elf ball, a red light flashed, and a strong flame monkey landed on the ground.

"Goka?" Flame Monkey scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

Flame Monkey is evolved from Xiao Liang's original elf—a lively little flame monkey received from Dr. Yamanashi's research institute. It is the elf partner who has accompanied Xiao Liang for the longest time, and the relationship with Xiao Liang is also The deepest, so Xiao Liang can tell at a glance——ah, this kid is probably going to start digging into a corner again.

"Are you still thinking about what happened before?" Xiaoliang squatted down helplessly, and put his gaze at the same level as the flame monkey.

"Goka..." Flame Monkey's lively tone became a little hesitant and guilty. It looked at the Ivy Snake and nodded.

In the early morning preparation training for this magnificent competition, the Flame Monkey and the Ivy Snake had a gorgeous battle. Xiao Liang commanded the Ivy Snake to fight against the Flame Monkey who attacked independently.

But one is because the attack intensity of the flame monkey is too high, and the second is that the newly joined Ivy Snake has not yet fully adapted to the gorgeous fighting style. In the battle, in order to avoid the "red flame lock" of the flame monkey, the Ivy One accidentally fell into the opponent's flame trap, causing serious burns, and Xiao Liang interrupted his training because of this, and rushed to the elf center to have the Ivy Snake receive treatment.

"It's okay, isn't it commonplace to be injured? I think I was often burned by your flames!" Xiao Liang patted the shoulder of the Flaming Monkey, trying to comfort it.

...But something seems wrong?

Before Xiao Liang figured out what was wrong, Flaming Monkey remembered how much trouble he had caused Xiao Liang back then, and the dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker on top of it, and it was about to crackle and rain up.

On the other side, the Ivy Snake became more and more nervous and anxious.

Although the loss of Flame Monkey is obviously not the fault of Ivy Snake, but Ivy Snake doesn't think so.But before it came up with any countermeasures, the optimist flame monkey had already adjusted itself and suddenly got better.Immediately afterwards, it was pretending to be crying in Xiaoliang's arms for comfort, and it was discovered by Xiaoliang for a second, and it was pulled aside by its ears and punished to stand.

Although it was said to be a punishment, the Ivy Snake looked at it... always felt a sense of envy.

Sure enough, I really shouldn't be joining this team... right?

It couldn't help lowering its head and took a step back.

Sure enough, it shouldn't have stretched out that hand at all, right?

The Ivy Snake's tail wobbled restlessly a few times, revealing its inner unrest.

If it hadn't stretched out that hand so boldly...

Ivy Snake couldn't help but think so.

If at the beginning, just struggling out of the mud, aimless, unable to find the meaning of existence, it hadn't stretched out that hand under the bewitchment in its heart——

More and more thoughts were entangled in the small head of the Ivy Snake, squeezing it to the point of exploding.At this moment, a hand stretched out: "Ivy Snake?"

The Ivy Snake raised its head abruptly, its panicked eyes just met Xiao Liang's worried eyes.

"...Ivy Snake?"

Xiao Liang couldn't help but yelled again, then stretched out his hand to hold it in his arms: "What's wrong? Is it the injury you got before, and is there still some pain?"

On the one hand, there are always not enough beds, and on the other hand, out of consideration for the health of the elves, when the elves are treated by the elves, the center will always leave a small number of slightly injured places, allowing the elves to use their self-healing ability to heal the wounds. good.Is it because of the strange appearance of the ivy snake?

Xiao Liang hugged the Ivy Snake into his arms, and patted it on the back lightly: "Okay, it's all right now?"

At the same time, Xiao Liang is also rejoicing in his heart: Fortunately, he took it back into the ball after he taught the flame monkey a lesson, otherwise it would see the current situation... Well, it must have exploded →_→

The Ivy Snake hesitated for a moment, and hugged Xiao Liang's back with trembling hands.

It was the embrace that received it.

Accepted it who had been hostile to her, hurt her, and was obsessed with it.

Then, it gently broke free from Xiao Liang's embrace, and took Xiao Liang's hand.

It is also these hands that have grasped it, grasped it longing for rebirth, seeking the last straw.

and so……

The ivy snake lowered its head, then raised its head.

Although Xiaoliang didn't know what the Ivy Snake was struggling with, she vaguely knew that the Ivy Snake was making another very important decision—she decided to respect the Ivy Snake's decision and hand over all the decision-making power to it.

So she just smiled at it too.

In the second that Ivy Snake and Xiao Liang looked at each other, a certain answer frantically rushed into Ivy Snake's mind, causing it to hold Xiao Liang's hand tightly.

It won't let go again.

It reached out and grabbed the hands.

So, it won't let go again.

There was a bright smile on the Ivy Snake's face, and Xiao Liang was taken aback when she saw it, so she naturally missed the Ivy Snake's movement: it glanced at Xiao Liang's waist as if unconsciously sweeping the poke ball. I glanced at it - so it won't back down again in the future (laughs)

"Jano!" Ivy Snake called out, and after calling Xiaoliang's attention back, he poked the switch of the poke ball with his hand and sent himself back.

Xiaoliang blinked his eyes, thought for a while and then gave up: Forget it, no matter what the Ivy Snake figured out, but now it seems that it should be developing in a good direction, right?Then there is no problem!

Xiao Liang, who believes in the human truth that "the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge", is also happy for the peace of mind of the elves today.

——But if she wants to know how much this "peace of mind" will cost in the future, she probably would rather not have this peace of mind than to find some guys out and teach them a lesson.

"Please let me go." The deep voice came from behind, scaring Xiao Liang into a fright. She looked back and found a man wearing a hat and a high-necked coat standing behind him at some point... It seemed to be A boy about his own age.

The boy's entire face was hidden under the shadow of the hat, but for some reason, Xiao Liang could feel the impatient eyes of the other party.Feeling Xiao Liang's gaze, the boy lowered the brim of his hat again: "I'm here to restore the elves."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xiao Liang realized that he was in the way, and hurriedly moved aside, a little embarrassed.

Miss Joy accepted the elf ball handed over by the boy with her usual formulaic smile: "Then, I will accept the elf, please come back in half an hour to pick it up. The total cost of the four elves is 6000 yuan, please choose to use the illustrated book Or trainer license offset or direct payment?"

The charging standard of the elf center is also linked to the trainer's policy. Each trainer has a chance to recover the elf's physical strength for free in the elf center once a day, and then a high fee will be charged for the second time. This is also to limit the trainer's behavior , to avoid the situation of injuring your spirit many times a day.Of course, serious injuries like Ivy Snake's before were naturally not included in the "recovery of physical strength" project, and Xiao Liang also paid a certain amount of money for this.

It's still noon now, so this person will probably choose to use the free opportunity to offset it. After all, there are not many trainers like me who scarred the elves early in the morning... Well, I am a special case, It can be forgiven!

Standing up suddenly after squatting for too long would cause a little dizziness. Xiao Liang slowed down for a while before getting ready to set off.

"Just pay directly."

The boy's words made Xiao Liang stop in his tracks.

Hey, why?Even if the opportunity is used up, you can still use the trainer qualification certificate to offset part of the money, right?Could it be that he's too rich to care?

Taking a closer look at the young man's dusty clothes, Xiao Liang overturned his previous guess - this man is definitely not a kid from a rich family.

So what could be the reason?For example, lost the qualification certificate or something?

Xiao Liang touched the bracelet on his wrist and began to think and reason.

When he came back to his senses, Xiao Liang found that he had returned to the counter and took out the illustrated book.

Well, forget it, if that's the case, do me a favor.

Xiao Liang reached out and handed the illustrated book to Miss Joy before the boy took out his wallet: "Well, let's use my illustrated book to offset his this time, I haven't used up my chance today."

The boy's indifferent eyes suddenly glanced at Xiao Liang, with a hint of vigilance and doubt.

"I'm going to go to the beach with the elves to relax. Today's opportunity will be wasted if I don't use it. During the trip, everyone should help each other!" Xiao Liang said with a smile, which is an explanation.

Just when Xiao Liang was wondering whether the boy would accept his kindness, he took out two more poke balls from his waist.

#……I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of, how can I break it#

Xiao Liang was ashamed.

"Okay, so there are six elves in total. May I ask Miss Xiaoliang to use your opportunity to offset it for him?" Miss Joy still had a business-like attitude.

"Ah... yes!" Xiao Liang responded and nodded.Since it is a decision made by oneself, it cannot be regretted.

"Then ask this gentleman to come and fetch the elf after half an hour."

The boy nodded, and Xiao Liang turned around again to leave.

"Thank you."

The thank you, which was not originally imagined, came from behind, the voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Xiao Liang to hear.

Not exactly a bad guy either.

Xiao Liang raised the corners of his mouth and waved his hands without looking back: "You're welcome, I wish you a smooth journey ahead!"

The sensor door opened and closed, and the gentle sea breeze made her stretch.

Talking to strangers, helping each other, and then leaving indifferently, this is the most common thing a trainer encounters.If you help him today, you may receive help from others tomorrow. Xiao Liang, who has been traveling for so long, naturally knows this truth well, and doesn't take this encounter to heart at all.

"Then—what!" Xiaoliang stretched his waist.

"Let's go to training next!" She quickly decided what to do next, and now she doesn't have so much free time to waste!

The man in a black coat passed Xiao Liang and walked on the bustling street.

【Boss Sakagi said, you must take that "that" back as soon as possible, this is a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself!If you don't do well... Hehehe, the boss will definitely not let you go! 】The rough voice made the man in black frowned. For his colleagues who were gloating at other people's misfortune, certain ghost ideas came out of his heart one after another, and he was planning to punish him one day.

"Yeah, I understand—by the way, the port here also sells juniper orange juice, a specialty of Juipi Town. I heard that this product seems to be quite delicious. Would you like me to bring you a bottle? ?" The man in black took off an earphone and flicked it in the air, as if replying casually.

It's a pity that the other party didn't bother to pay attention to his lazy appearance, and his habit of holding grudges and liking to do small tricks had already been spread within the Rockets, so the colleague hung up the phone in a hurry after saying what was explained above. , there is only a "beep" noise in the earphones.

"Tut tsk tsk, I'm really impatient." The man in black put his head in his hands and stretched his waist: "Huh——little baby who ran away from home, come home quickly!"

The author has something to say:
