Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Last night, Nazi and Chirulian came back very late. It was almost dawn before they finally returned to the hotel. Exhausted, she opened the door and saw Riolu looking at her with his big eyes.

I was a little surprised, but my sleepiness was too strong. I hurriedly said hello to him and went to another bed to put Chiruli, who was sleeping soundly, aside. She didn't even bother to change her clothes and just fell down on the bed.

Riolu didn't sleep for any special reason, he was just thinking about Kallen, and so much time passed without him realizing it.Seeing that Nazhi was so tired, she smiled and took a rest.

But the next morning, Nazi woke up very early as usual and started getting Ikki and Riolu up, which was not at all like what she showed last night.But in her words, people with superpowers have stronger physical fitness than ordinary people and recover quickly.

Riolu had already wanted to ask why Ikki shared a room with Nazi when they were assigned rooms.Logically speaking, shouldn't he and Hai be in the same room?

Unexpectedly, the two parties said that they didn't have much to do with each other, as if they had done this a long time ago.And Ikki said that Yukino seemed to have insomnia as long as she slept away from the sea, so Riolu didn't bother to ask anymore.

"Go and see Karen...that girl is quite pitiful..."

While packing her things, Nazi suddenly took the backpack from Ikki's hand, looked into his eyes and nodded to him.

Riolu actually cared a little about Kallen. He was always absent-minded when packing things and was reminded several times by Ikki.

But looking back at himself, he always stayed still while doing it.

Nazi's suggestion was timely and happened to be what the two of them were thinking about.Riolu and Ikki glanced at each other at the same time, immediately threw the things in their hands to the ground, thanked Natsu, and ran out quickly.

Smiling bitterly, she picked up the scattered objects on the ground. Nazi looked at the two of them who had disappeared outside the door and murmured: "Although I proposed it, there is really a lot to do..."

"Then why did you let the two of them go find the girl? This obviously has nothing to do with us, right?"

Kirulian walked in slowly from the door, picked up the berries and some strange herbs that Riolu had thrown on the ground, and slowly turned them around in her hands. Her pink eyes peeked at Nazi from time to time. .

"If you want to tell me why..." Nazi looked out the door again uneasy, "Ikki is still just a child. Let him experience such a thing so early... If he is not allowed to solve it by himself, everything will be wrong." What should I do when psychological problems arise..."

After staring at Nazi for a while, Chirulian sighed, picked up Riolu's small bag from the ground, and began to stuff different things into it in order.

"If you are worried, just follow me. Just leave it to me." Chirulian said.

Nazi smiled, but shook her head and rejected her kindness, "No, I've said before, it's better for him to resolve this matter by himself."

"Well... Nazi is really a strange person..."

"You still have the nerve to criticize me, isn't it the same with Kirulian? Well, don't be so sullen, you look pretty when you smile, ah, this seems to be what Riolu said."

Nazi smiled playfully and stuck out her tongue at her.

Upon hearing this, Chirulian's face turned red again. She lowered her head and muttered softly: "You guys... are all idiots!" But in her heart, she was actually happy...

At this time, in the hospital, Ikki and Riolu asked the nurse at the front desk for the ward number and rushed there immediately.

When he opened the door, he saw Karen sitting in a daze on the chair in front of the hospital bed.

"Ikki?! Why are you here?"

Kallen was surprised by his and Riolu's arrival.But what showed in her eyes was a complicated look of hesitation and fatigue.

He didn't feel much at first, but once he got closer, Riolu saw that Kallen's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

An extra pair of dark circles under my eyes.It was obvious that he had worked hard all night and had no rest at all.

"I...I came to say goodbye to you, and by the way I have something to ask you..."

After looking at Kalest who was still lying unconscious on the hospital bed, Ikki finally felt relieved and coyly spoke like a little girl.

"...I see, you are leaving...are you in a hurry?"

Ikki looked at the quartz clock hanging on the wall and shook his head.

"Leaving in the afternoon, it's still very early."

Ikki felt a little uncomfortable, so he looked away from Kalest and turned to Riolu, who was also staring at him.

"Then sit down first...I'll help you pour water..."

Her feet had long been numb from long-term exercise, and she almost fell before she even took a step when she stood up.Fortunately, Ikki reacted quickly and caught her in time.

"I'll go with you..."

Because he really wanted to talk to her, Ikki did not refuse her kindness and helped her out of the ward.

Riolu stood there for a while, and when the two of them were almost gone, he lightly jumped onto a chair that was a little high for him, and climbed onto the hospital bed with difficulty.

After gently patting Kalest's only unburned hand, Riolu sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a response.

"Tch...I really can't hide anything like this..."

Kalest, who was still asleep just now, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the horrific injuries on his body, and laughed to himself.

Riolu sensed Kalest's awakening through the waveguide shortly after arriving here, but the randomly flowing waveguide seemed to be saying "Don't tell anyone", so Riolu picked the two people away. Talk to him during the break.

Because he laughed for too long, the wound on his face cracked a little. Kalest finally said seriously to Riolu: "You are very smart. I knew when I fought with you that you are not like While other elves simply follow the trainer's instructions, you have your own unique ideas." Kalest stabilized his mood and his tone began to soften, "So I hope you take this and treat it as a human being. Come on, don’t reject me."

There were two things that Kallust protected intact in the sea of ​​​​fire, one was Kallen, and the other was what he was holding now.

The good hand opened, and Riolu carefully took out a crumpled piece of paper.

"This is something that our family has passed down from generation to generation. Now I can only give it to you. Please go to the Orange Islands to pick up something for me. The location has been marked for you... You must find it!"

Just in the middle of his words, the conversation between Ikki and Kallen came from outside the door. Kalest had to stop the topic, said something in a hurry, struggled to push Riolu to the ground with his hands, and then closed his door. The eyes continue to pretend to be asleep.

"...That's it, thank you, Ikki..."

Kallen said as she pushed the door open and walked in, but she saw Riolu lying on the ground, wondering what happened to his elf here.Ikki was also a little curious, but he didn't ask anything. He just helped him up and didn't even notice the small note in his paws.

"Then...please take care of yourself, Kallen."

Riolu felt that Ikki no longer felt as nervous as when he came here before, so he nodded to Kallen as a farewell and walked out the door with him.I paid a little attention to Kalest. This guy was winking quietly while Kallen wasn't paying attention.

'But what is this?Why did he trust me so much and hand over his family secrets to me?And, why the Orange Islands?What else is hidden there? '

Along the way, Riolu had been thinking about these questions. He hadn't had time to confirm what was on the note.

However, since it was something Kalest entrusted to him, it would definitely not disappoint.
