Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Outer forest.

"Dr. Ohki, Ikki hasn't sent any message for so long. Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

Hai paced back and forth anxiously, feeling a little uneasy.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Ikki is a smart kid. If he is really in danger, he will find a way to solve it himself. Besides, there is also the flare gun I gave him. Since he hasn't used it yet, it means that he is very good now. It’s safe, let’s wait here for his good news with peace of mind!”

"OK then……"

While the two were talking, the snowflake image that had been present in the instrument for an unknown length of time suddenly displayed a clear image.

"How is Ikki? What happened?"

Hai immediately lay down in front of the instrument and asked about Ikki's situation into the microphone.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, but there is trouble that needs to be solved now. One Pichu is sick, very seriously. I will bring it back now and ask Miss Joy to take a good look at it..."

It can be seen from the screen that Ikki is also running hard. The screen is shaking so hard that it is impossible to tell where he is now.

"So Ikki, do you know the way? Do you need us to pick you up?"

"No dad, I'm heading to the elf center now. You and Dr. Oak should come over too! I can't do it alone."

Riolu heard Ikki's report and didn't interfere too much. He just glanced at Ikki and told him not to reveal his secret.

Soon the two ran out of the forest, and saw the Pokemon Center sign in the distance. Riolu put on his hood early, wrapped himself tightly, and slowed down. Follow Ikki towards the Elf Center

run away.

Miss Joy was very responsible. After learning about the situation, she immediately called the Geely Egg over and put Pichu on the medical cart, ready for treatment.Pichu, who had been in a coma, opened his eyes slightly and saw that he had arrived in a strange place. He inevitably panicked. Riolu saw this and hurriedly jumped on the cart.Pichu saw the familiar red eyes, and his nervous heart suddenly relaxed a little.Riolu touched Pichu's head affectionately, asking him to be obedient.He couldn't make a sound here.

Ms. Joy on the side saw this little elf who didn’t know what kind it was, and didn’t ask any questions. When it jumped off the cart, Pichu also lay down quietly. Joy and the Gilly Egg immediately pushed Pichu into the cart. to the ward.

Afterwards, Dr. Hai and Omu also arrived in a hurry.After fully understanding the situation, Dr. Hai and Dr. Oki became very interested in the elf wrapped tightly in the inner coat next to Ikki. Especially Hai, as if he had discovered something, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. , revealing an arc that is hard to detect.

"How about this, Ikki, let's go back first, and you can come back when Miss Joy informs you!"

Riolu secretly thought that it was bad. He didn't expect this man to be so scheming. Knowing that he couldn't take off his coat in public, and couldn't leave Pichu and go back to the forest alone, Riolu gritted his teeth and glared fiercely. He picked up the man named Hai, pulled on Ikki's clothes, and walked towards Ikki's home resignedly.

…………………………split line…………………………

Sure enough, the two men knew their identities from the first moment they met.

As soon as he entered Ikki's home, Riolu took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. He looked at Hai with a malicious look that said, "Sure enough," and was hugged tightly from behind.

"Wow! Such a cute little elf! Ikki, did you tame it? It's so cute!"

Yukino held Riolu in her arms and rubbed his face against her, making the three people watching on the side sweat profusely, especially Hai. He knew that his wife had no resistance to cute things. But this was in front of Dr. Omu, and the scene in front of him was indeed a bit uncomfortable.

"Ahem, Ms. Keita, can you let me study Riolu first? Some data will be of important reference value!"

In fact, you are just curious, right?Having important reference value is just a random excuse.

In the end, Ikki ran over to help Riolu out of the siege.

"Mom, Dr. Oak! You will make Riolu unhappy if you treat him like this. He is an important friend of mine!"

Riolu, who finally escaped from the 'devil's claws', jumped away in a hurry, leaving no chance for Yukino to seize it.

"Eh?! Why is this? She's so cute

Say……"

She is indeed a woman whose resistance to cute things is negative!Hai was already squatting in the corner drawing circles.

"Then I'll leave first. If it makes the elf unhappy, then I'd better bear with it!"

The family of three said goodbye to Dr. Oak, and Ikki ran to the backyard to look for Riolu, who was missing.

"This kid Ikki... seems to have made a good friend!"

Yukino leaned on Hai's arms, watching Ikki skipping towards the yard, murmuring to himself.

The backyard at this time.

"Riolu! Where are you?"

Ikki came to the backyard, but did not find Riolu, calling anxiously.

"Oulu [this way!]"

In a dark and unnoticeable corner next to the house, Riolu carefully poked his head out and waved his paw to signal him to come over.Riolu looked around, but there were no branches or stones. He had to stretch out three small nails on his paws and scratch on the ground.

[Have you told me everything? ]

"Probably...you didn't ask me not to tell you."

Riolu held his forehead.What a mistake that will lead to eternal regret!No wonder Ikki's father felt as if he had discovered his identity as soon as they met.

[Did you also mention that I can write? ]

With the last glimmer of hope, Riolu wrote.

Because I tried hard to recall it in my mind, after a while, I said.

"I

I mentioned it to Dr. Ohki and he was particularly surprised

Surprised, but except for Dr. Omu, I really haven’t told my parents!That grandpa doesn't look like a bad guy, and he knows the elves so well, so it shouldn't matter, right? "

Riolu nodded.In the animation of the previous life, it seems that this old man is just a little fanatical about the study of elves. In short, he is a good person, so his words should not be a big problem.

In this way, Riolu asked questions and Ikki answered, and the two of them continued like this for several hours.In Ikki's answer, Riolu understood the surrounding situation better.

It seems that this is indeed the Golden City of Kanto, and the forest where he lives is called Bibo Forest. Although Ikki doesn’t know the origin of the name, what he said is no different from the elves in the forest, so he can be sure that he will There is no reason to lie to yourself!

I chatted with Riolu for a whole afternoon. Although the process might be a little difficult, Ikki was still very happy.

"Hey, Riolu, will you be my elf?"

[don't want. ]

Very flatly refused.

"Really? It seems I'm not good enough..."

As Ikki spoke, his head lowered unconsciously.I could have thought that I had a good relationship with Riolu, but unfortunately it still didn't work.

[I don’t want to be anyone’s elf, but it’s okay to be your friend. ]

Riolu gently put his little paw on Ikki's hand, and immediately put back the tears that were about to burst out, and a sweet smile once again filled his innocent face.

Although Riolu is not very good at dealing with children,

After all, he is still very gentle. Is it true that he can't do this?In fact, this was not the case. Even in his previous life, he did not express any malice towards anyone. Everyone had him in their hearts, but he was just... tarnished...

In order to leave space for Ikki and Riolu to communicate alone, Yukino and Kai also went out for a walk early. When they came back, they saw Ikki's happy look that he had never seen before, and they couldn't help but feel strange.

This elf is so awesome!

Yukino cooked dinner, and Riolu also joined in. I thought it was just curious, so I didn't pay much attention to it.But now, Yukino has become deeply jealous of Riolu.

"Mom, Riolu's cooking should be more delicious!"

"Well...although my wife did a good job, I still like this..."

Riolu nodded with satisfaction, but now he was being held in Yukino's arms, feeling Yukino tickling him with ill intentions.Yukino didn't feel sad because she lost her proud cooking skills. After all, she got a good toy now.

This is the first time Riolu has eaten meat since he traveled here. There is no meat in the forest, and the only fish is Magikarp and the like. Are you asking him to kill elves?He couldn't do that. The most he could do was beat them until they were unconscious...

Although it is in the world of Pokemon, the taste and aroma of meat in this world are no worse than those in the previous life, or even better.The three people at the table were chatting and laughing, talking about the interesting things they saw today, and while chatting, they talked about Riolu.He wasn't the kind of person to meddle in other people's business, so he couldn't stop the three of them from talking, so he just let them go.

Thinking back to my previous life, I seemed to be sitting at the dining table with my parents like this, chatting about this and that. Although they were very common things, there was also some kind of fun in them, wasn't it?But now he was alone, and even the elves in the forest couldn't listen to him. He wanted to thank Ikki, even though he was still a child who didn't know much about anything.

After dinner, he invited Riolu to his room.

time to sleep.He refused at first, but Ikki's hard work was so great that he had no choice but to compromise.

Ikki's room is not very big, but the bed takes up a lot of space.He jumped on the bed first and patted the other side of the bed as Riolu invited him to do.

“The place is not big, but it can definitely meet your requirements, come and give it a try!”

Looking at Ikki with a smile on his face on the bed, Riolu had no doubt that if he went up there, he would definitely fall in immediately.

In the end, Riolu was carried to bed by Ikki, holding him like his favorite stuffed toy.

Riolu's mental age was at least 20 years old, but it was really uncomfortable for him to be hugged back and forth like this all day long. Finally, he waited until Ikki fell asleep before Riolu struggled to get out of Ikki's arms again. climb out.

Pichu is in the elf center, where he will receive the best care, so he doesn't have to worry now, he just needs to wait quietly.

It used its paws as pillows and lay on its side on the bed.Putting aside those messy things, I wanted to empty my mind, but I couldn't fall asleep.He was a little confused. He was obviously sleeping on a human bed and finally found a good resting environment. Why was his consciousness so clear...

perhaps……

He...is homesick.

want to go back.

but,

It's just a powerless delusion.

A trace of salty liquid flowed from the corner of Riolu's eyes.He didn't expect that one day he would cry again. He had already promised not to shed tears again...

Behind Riolu, a pair of small hands were groping randomly. The moment they touched it, the slightly nervous little face immediately returned to calm.

"Riolu... we agreed... to be good friends..."

In his sleep, Ikki whispered in his sleep.

This kid, haha, why is he so incapable of understanding the situation? He is so dishonest in his dreams...

Riolu also pressed his little paw on Ikki's hand.Maybe he could really help him, but there was more to it than that.

This home... is so warm...

[I will...at least for now]

Riolu said silently in his mind.

This family of three looks so much like us.
