Pokémon Beyond the Blue

This mountain is also quite far away from the location of Qianhong Gym. This is also true for Ikki who has the little fire horse. No matter how talented the little fire horse is, it is impossible to reach Qianhong quickly. The gym is not flying after all.

It's afternoon now. In order to take care of the newly added little fire pony, Ikki didn't let him run continuously for too long. He ran for a while and rested for a while. This took a lot of time, but compared to walking, he still had to Much faster.But then again, it's just that Ikki can't stand the long-term bumps. This kid still needs to improve.

"Ikki, you have to hurry up this afternoon. If you continue like this, you still won't be able to keep up with the progress of the rest of the team."

As soon as he left Erin's house, Ikki activated Riolu's stone, saying that he wanted everyone to maintain their strength as much as possible, but in fact, he did it because he thought it was fun.

It doesn't matter anyway. Being able to use [Telepathy] is not a bad thing, but it makes communication easier.

Throwing the last oval piece of elf food on his paw into his mouth, Riolu patted off the residue on his paw, stretched lazily, and while moving his body, he said to Ikki: "If you hadn't been in the conference I collected eight badges before the opening, but I’m not eligible to participate in the competition, do you know?”

Ikki, who was about to pick up the instant noodles with a fork and put it into his mouth, suddenly stopped and then... lost his mind.

"I know that too, but I can't ignore the feelings of the little fire pony for my own sake. After all, the little fire pony is my partner. He is as important a partner as Charmander, Lulili, and Riolu!"

As he spoke, he became excited again, raised his fists and clenched them vigorously in front of his chest.

"If everyone gets hurt because of me, then there is no point in participating in the conference, right?"

Looking at his reassuring smile, Riolu was not in the mood to say anything else.

"You're right. If you really do this, I might find a way to stop you, but it seems like this won't happen. Sorry, I keep stressing the time."

"There is no need to apologize for Riolu. You are right. It is true that if this continues, we may fall behind Xiaozhi and Xiaomao. I will still feel regretful if I cannot meet them at the conference."

"Don't worry about that, you will definitely catch up!"

"Eh?! What's the reason for saying that?"

Riolu pointed at the little fire pony who was still eating.

"This child is indeed not what he seems. His talent is definitely higher than Irene knows."

Ikki also looked at the little fire pony. After realizing that Ikki was looking at it, the latter raised his head affectionately and rubbed Ikki's back.Ikki also reached out and touched the little fire pony's head.

"Yeah, I can feel it."

After comforting the little fire pony, Ikki picked up his instant noodle box and came to Riolu's side.

You ask why instant noodles can be eaten in the wild?This is of course thanks to Charmander. It was at this time that Riolu realized that Charmander was really a must-have companion for home and travel. You can use the fire on its tail to boil water and other things!Why not use the fire from the little fire horse?Such a big fire will probably burn the part of the instant noodle box that is not covered by water...

"I'm curious about something. Can I ask you a question, Riolu?"

Looking up sideways at Ikki, who had a completely different serious expression than before, Riolu shrugged.

"sure."

Seeing that Riolu agreed, Ikki directly stated the problem.

"Didn't Riolu call the little fire pony 'that kid'? But Riolu's voice doesn't sound loud, right? So I want to know how old you are, Riolu!"

To be honest, Riolu was completely petrified after hearing this question.

Because this question is completely meaningless, okay? Asking the age of the elf is completely trivial. Although Riolu can [telepathy], it does not mean that he will answer Ikki.

"Wait! What did you say happened to my voice?"

利欧

Lu suddenly realized a problem and shuddered involuntarily.

"It doesn't sound big. It feels like it's smaller than me. Is there any problem?"

"S-smaller than you?!"

It felt like his cognition was broken, and Riolu turned into a petrified state.

In fact, as a user of [Telepathy], Riolu himself cannot hear his own voice.

In other words, he has always used that voice to communicate with Ikki!

"How much smaller do you think it is?"

"Hmm... Probably a little smaller. Anyway, it feels about the same."

Riolu finally let out the breath he had been holding in his chest for a long time.

'Fortunately, it's just about the same. It can be considered a blessing in misfortune. '

Although Ikki is still only ten years old, his voice is more mature, so this result is still barely acceptable to Riolu.

"Even if you say it sounds smaller, I'm actually bigger than you!"

Although I don't know how long it took before he took over this body, it is an indisputable fact that the psychological level is definitely greater than that of Ikki.

"Is he older than me? What's Riolu's level now?"

"Hmm...actually I don't know about this, it should be very low..."

He really doesn't know his level. The elf center or gym may have equipment that can test elf levels, but he has never been there even once. Even Xiaogang and Xia Bo missed it twice, so how many levels does he have? Not sure either.But how high can the level of an elf without skills be?

In other words, if the level is really high enough, it must have evolved long ago...

"No, Riolu is very powerful, and his level must be very high! Being older than me means that Riolu must have accumulated a lot of experience, and his level must be very high!"

Facing Ikki's Star Eye offensive, Riolu could only helplessly turn his face to the side.

"The level has nothing to do with the length of time, otherwise there wouldn't be so many adults taking some low-level elves everywhere to challenge!"

It is very difficult to increase the level of an elf. If you use the wrong method, you may not be able to advance to a level for a long time or even a year. However, almost half of the improvement of elf level and learning of skills depends on the ability of the trainer. .

"I won't become like that! Whether it's for Charmander, Lulili, Pony, or Riolu, I will keep working hard. I want to win the championship with you!"

Why not mention Gengar?Because he can't control that guy at all.

Riolu raised his paw to block Ikki's face.

"Let me tell you first, I am not your elf!"

It's not to attack Ikki, but to let him know that in his current situation, he can't always rely on other forces.

Ikki, who was forcibly interrupted, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I know, but I won't give up my decision to conquer you. When one day my strength is recognized by you, you must accept it. Challenge!" After saying that, Ikki extended his hand to Riolu.

Riolu, who had just realized that what he said seemed a bit hurtful, felt an inexplicable urge to laugh after hearing Ikki's thoughts.

"Then wait until you can make Gengar listen to you first!"

Passing the paw into his hand, one person and one elf smiled at the same time, and the two hands were held together as if they had reached some kind of contract.

"Okay, I have to rush on my way in the afternoon, so I have to guarantee my time first!"

"Hmm, the little fire pony seems to have regained his strength. It's time to go, Riolu!"

I don't know why, but after the conversation just now, Riolu felt a lot more relaxed. Maybe it was because he had lived in the forest for several years without interacting with other people.

Just like that, the journey begins again, and I don’t know how long it will take to arrive at the Light Red Gym...
