Pokémon Beyond the Blue

After a long journey, the four people finally stood at the entrance of Hualan City - wait, why four people?

"Ikki, are you also here to challenge the Cerulean City Gym?" Xiaozhi said to Ikki who was walking behind the three of them.

Yes, Ikki also came to Cerulean City with them.

Three days have passed since that hard battle. Xiaogang's father also took over Xiaogang's younger brothers and sisters, so Xiaogang began to embark on the path of pursuing his dream.Riolu, on the other hand, lay in bed for three days and finally regained his energy this morning.Before that, he spent his time lying on Ikki's shoulder. He wasn't heavy anyway, and Ikki didn't feel any burden. At most, it was just an extra Riolu backpack.

But the medicines in this world are really magical. Just rub the good medicine on the wound, and the pain will begin to ease quickly, and it will be almost healed in just one day.

Riolu took the illustrated book and rummaged through it for the information he wanted.

"Hualan City... that's right! I seem to remember something!" Before Ikki could answer, Xiaogang reacted first.

"Ah? What's going on?" Xiaozhi turned his head to Xiaogang with excitement.Ikki, who was about to answer him, sighed.

'Is he pretending to be fighting in his mind...'

Riolu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.After noticing him, Ikki immediately glanced at him, and the latter continued to look at the illustrated book in his hand as if nothing had happened.

"Huh huh huh... look at this!" Xiaogang took out the leaflet that Zeng Jin had casually put in from his bag and held it up in front of everyone.

"Cerulan City has the famous Hualan Gym, and this flyer says that a water ballet will be held in the near future!"

"Wow! It's true. Let's go over there quickly and take a look... Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you?"

After Xiaozhi said this, everyone's eyes turned to Xiaoxia, who was pretending to look at the scenery.Noticing the strange looks from everyone, Xiaoxia could only force a smile and wave her hands in panic.

"I'm fine, but can we find a place to live first? Since there is going to be a performance, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to visit. What if all the places to live are taken away by others? So hurry in! Hmm Well, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

After saying that, Xiaoxia came to the two of them, and then used all her strength to push the two of them forward.

"Xiaoxia, you are acting strange today."

"It's not there, it must be your imagination...Ah, by the way! I remember there is a very good store nearby! Let's go there first!"

Xiaoxia's thinking has begun to become confusing, and she is afraid that if she continues to waste it like this, she will definitely be exposed.

【what to do?Want to go together? 】

Facing Ikki who was standing there thinking about something, Riolu held up the illustrated book.

"Hmm...hey, well, there are still two days until the preview date, so just relax today!"

That's right, the purpose of Ikki's coming here was just to watch the performance of the legendary Cerulean City Gym, and the challenge was only a secondary consideration.

[Then let’s follow. 】

"Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something. I need to go to the Elf Center first. How about you go with them first?" Ikki paused and said to Riolu with a wry smile.

[No need, I will follow you. 】

Let’s not talk about whether Ikki can protect himself alone. How can he find himself in such a big Cerulean City?The illustrated book does not have a phone function.

"Okay, let's go then."

————————————————————

"Ikki, have you taken good care of yourself? Mom has always been worried about you. Although your dad keeps telling me not to worry, as a mother of a child, how can I not worry about my child..."

The purpose of Ikki coming here is to talk to Yukino. Counting the time, it has been a long time. If he doesn't call her, she will definitely come over by herself.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm not a child anymore, and I've already earned my first badge, look!"

Ikki unzipped his jacket and pointed the gray badge on the inside at the camera.

"Yeah! Ikki is the best, I knew you could do it! Mom will always support you."

When Yukino said these words, it seemed that he could vaguely hear words like "Dad also fully supports you!" coming from the back room.

"It's all thanks to Riolu!"

Ikki leaned down and lifted up Riolu who was still pressing the button on the illustrated book.But being suddenly lifted up like this, he looked at Yukino's face on the screen and didn't know what to do.

"Wow! Riolu is getting cuter and cuter, ahhhhhhh, I feel like giving him a hug... What a pity."

The moment Yukino saw Riolu, her worried expression was immediately transformed into a happy smile by the memory of holding Riolu, and then turned into disappointment.

"Olu!"

Riolu gave a symbolic shout and waved to the camera.

'Yukino really has no resistance to this aspect of things. '

"I'm going to find my friends, hang up first."

"Well, remember to call me often!"

After hanging up the phone, Ikki left the elf center.

As soon as I went out, there was a gust of wind.

"It's strange. It doesn't look like it's going to rain. Why is it starting to blow so hard now?"

Having said that, they didn't pay too much attention and hurriedly ran in the direction where Xiaozhi and the three of them left.

Cerulean City is a famous city with water attributes. Large or small fountains or pools will be built everywhere, and most of the wild elves that can be found nearby also have water attributes.

"Ikki! Here!"

In the center of Hualan City, there is a fountain square. Although it does not occupy a huge area, there are still many shops gathered here, so it has become a place where people gather.

Still far away, Xiaoxia stood up and waved her arms, signaling to Ikki who was still looking around.

The place they were in was a mobile shop selling crepes. The boss used simple tools to build several small seats and put up parasols next to them so that they could enjoy the food on the square while enjoying the food. fountain.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoxia, you live in Hualan City, right?"

Xiaogang was reading the flyer he had just received, and suddenly remembered what Xiaoxia had mentioned.

"Yes...yes, what...what happened?"

"I just went to ask, the hotels nearby are all occupied by tourists... By the way, Ikki, did you go to the Elf Center just now? How is the situation there?"

After taking a bite of the freshly baked crepe in his hand, Yihui, who was immersed in the deliciousness of the crepe, was suddenly asked by Xiaogang and quickly wiped it with a paper towel.

Wipe the inevitable condiments around your mouth.

"I didn't ask Miss Joy there, but there are a lot of people there now. If the hotels nearby are fully rented, then the Elf Center should be no exception."

"Really...Then there's only one way left."

Xiaogang and Yihui focused on Xiaoxia, who was still biting the crepe.

"What are you doing, staring at people like this..."

"We are thinking that if there is no place to live, then we can only ask you, Xiaoxia, who lives in Hualan City."

Ikki nodded in agreement.

"Although it's true that I live in Cerulean City, I don't have that many rooms to offer you!"

"It doesn't matter. Even if we sleep on the ground, it's much better than sleeping on the street. You think so, right?"

"Well, that's it."

"But...but..."

Xiaoxia desperately tried to find some excuse to excuse her, but no matter how hard she tried, there was no good way.

"Okay, don't refuse anymore, we won't cause you any trouble! After all, didn't I also lend you my house to live in?"

"But... forget it, I lost to you, I just promise you."

It would be great if the problem of accommodation can be solved easily. Ikki turned to Riolu who was cleaning the seasoning from his hair and said, "You need to have a good rest for a few days. Just tell me if there is any inconvenience."

After all, the damage caused by that battle with Wu Neng was no joke. Just looking at it made people tremble all over.Riolu had already told him that he was fine, but Ikki still insisted on letting him rest more.

'Forget it, just do whatever you want, it's not a bad thing to take a few days off. '

Riolu threw the tissue into the trash can, turned around, jumped off the table, leaned next to Ikki and continued to pick up the illustrated book.

As for Ash and Pikachu who had been silent...the three of them were already speechless towards them.

"Boss! Two more!"

For Ash and Pikachu, who had been confused by the crepe, the three of them let out a long sigh.

In retrospect, Xiaozhi, who disappeared after the martial arts competition, did not come back until near evening, and Bobo also evolved into a Bibi bird.No matter what you ask him he won't say anything, God knows what happened to him.

————————————————————

Somewhere in Hualan City, Xiaoxia's home.

"Wow! Xiaoxia, it turns out you live in such a luxurious place!"

Facing the overwhelming and majestic building, Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right! Although I usually keep a low profile, who told you to insist on coming!"

Xiaoxia shrugged, as if Xiaozhi and Xiaogang in front of her were like country people who had never seen the world.

"Then why did you just say that there are no vacancies? There should be many rooms in such a big house!"

Xiaoxia, who was suddenly calmed down by Xiaogang's words, could only smile awkwardly.

"There are many reasons for this. It's not that I don't want to lend it to you..."

Xiaoxia's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end probably only she could hear it.

Blue is the main color of the house. After all, he is a user of the water elf, so it is not surprising that he likes blue.However, making Ikki care is indeed another matter.

"Xiaoxia, how many sisters do you have?"

With Xiaoxia's consent, Yihui casually opened the doors to several rooms, and all he saw were cosmetics and girlish decorations that only girls would use.

Riolu, who was held in Ikki's arms, didn't feel strange. After all, he was the only one who knew about Xiaoxia's family, but he had no intention of telling it. Anyway, since he was going to challenge the gym, Ikki would know sooner or later.

In this way, after Xiaoxia's busy work, everyone finally settled down, but...

"Xiaoxia, you are very partial. Why can only Ikki sleep on the bed and we have to sleep on the floor!"

When Xiaozhi saw Ikki lying on the bed in one of the bedrooms, he ran over to Xiaoxia to argue with him with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Ikki is so clean, of course he can sleep on the bed. You two are so dirty, and I don't want you to dirty things in my house."

"Well……"

Sitting on the bed and listening to the noise coming from the door, Ikki smiled bitterly.Since it was Xiaoxia's arrangement, he didn't want to talk too much.Turning around, he looked at Riolu sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You've been watching it for almost a day. What are you looking at, Riolu?"

[It’s okay, I’m just looking at the information about the elves we’ve met so far. Do you want to use it? 】

Riolu handed the illustrated book to Ikki.Ikki shook his head, pushed the illustrated book back gently, and got out of bed to get his backpack.

【Where are you going? 】

Seeing Ikki preparing to leave, Riolu jumped out of bed and ran to him.

"I just want to go around and see if there is anything worth buying. You should have a good rest. Let's go see the so-called Hualan Gym together tomorrow."

After picking up Riolu and putting him back on the bed, Ikki put on his backpack and walked out of the bedroom.

'This kid's worries are really a bit too much. Forget it, let's continue to look at it. We still need to make some preparations. '

Ikki came to the hall, said hello to Xiaoxia and walked out.

'Okay, let's think about what to buy first.Hmm... I need to prepare some good wound medicine, insect repellent spray... Forget it, Riolu doesn't like it, prepare some food, I haven't touched fruit for a long time..."

Ikki was walking on the road while thinking, and did not notice the white objects falling from the sky. It was not until one piece fell into Ikki's collar that he brought the shopping list in his mind back to reality.

Looking at the white flakes falling in front of me, I looked up at the sky again and chuckled.

"It turns out it's snowing..."

ps: The timeline has changed. The next chapter is the Christmas chapter. It has a lot of words!Although I said that the special episode had nothing to do with the main plot, I still included it in the story in the end, but it had no impact and it just happened to advance the plot.Please collect, comment, recommend and vote! ! ! !

ps2: Why are these words not included in [author’s words]?The reason is simple: the mobile version does not have this partition!

ps3: Let me explain the meaning of punctuation marks:

""Double quotation marks represent what the character said;'' single quotation marks represent the character's thoughts;【】represents words written by the character or typed on items such as electronic displays.above!So you have to pay attention to whether it is a single quotation mark or a double quotation mark. I don’t know if the computer version can display it clearly. Anyway, the mobile version is not too difficult to distinguish, sorry (*∩_∩*)
