Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Seeing that Riolu had completely stopped moving, Yuuto came to Ikki who was stuck in place.

"Listen to me, Ikki." Although he really wanted him to understand, Yuuto didn't know where to start, "Tsk, I also have my own reasons. There are some things I really can't tell you, at least not now. ."

Ikki's small shoulders were shaking, and the crystal tears fell drop by drop on the grass at his feet, soaking a small piece of land.

Ikki was trying not to cry. No matter Yukino, Kai or Riolu, they told him not to shed tears no matter what happened, but now he couldn't do it. The harder he tried to endure it, the more tears flowed. The more.

"I know that no matter what I say, there is no way to prove my identity, but please believe it, Ikki."

Yuuto put his palm against Ikki's cheek, and when he lifted it up, he saw Ikki's indescribable expression - maybe he was sad, maybe he was overbearing, who knows.

"I treat you as a friend, please believe this."

But even if he said this, Yuuto himself felt that it was unconvincing, but at least this point must be conveyed to him.

Putting Riolu into Ikki's hand forcefully, Yuuto also held his head in distress and was at a loss.

At this moment, there was a loud noise in the direction of Hualing. Yuuto guessed that the medical team was coming, but looking at Ikki like this, he felt uncomfortable.

"Anyway, let's go meet Miss Hualing first. We can't find a solution to the problem if we stay here."

But Ikki remained motionless, just looking at Riolu in his arms blankly.

"Hey, what should I do?" Yuuto was so anxious that he almost hit a tree. "Ikki, please cheer up, because it's not your style to act like this for such a trivial matter!"

Yuuto didn't notice, but after he finished speaking, Ikki repeated it softly.

"Isn't it like my style...?"

Ikki looked at Riolu who was already wet with his tears, squatted down silently, and put his head on Riolu's belly.

Yuuto was getting more and more crazy.

"Why do I feel like you are more difficult to deal with than that guy Delang?"

He didn't expect that one day he would be stumped by a child. He never thought it would be so difficult when he played against Delang.

"I'm begging you. As long as you don't do this, can't I promise you everything?"

Yuuto had no choice but to come up with such a rhetoric to coax Ikki, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.

"This is what you said, you can't go back on it!"

Ikki slowly raised his face that was wet with tears, and there was clearly a malicious smile on his face.

"Uh... Even though I said that, there are some things I can't tell you... um..."

Yuuto felt that the person standing in front of him now was no longer Ikki, but a fraudster who looked very similar to him.

Ikki took out a towel from the side of his backpack and wiped Riolu clean before starting to clean his own face.

"I just want you to do one thing."

Seeing that Ikki just wanted to help him, Yuuto breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Whatever you want me to do for you, as long as it's something I can do."

There was no way, who could have made him say such words just now when his head was so hot.

"You just need to be our friend, that's the only condition."

"Uh...that's it?"

Yuuto was ready to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, but he didn't expect that Ikki's request was so simple.

"Is this like this? Yuuto, what are you talking about? You can't hide things between friends. Look, I even told you the secret of Riolu's transformation, but you only told me something completely worthless. Like this You can’t say we are friends!”

 Only then did Yuuto realize that he had been fooled: "But Ikki, there are some things that really won't do any good telling you."

Yuuto also changed his mind about Ikki. He didn't expect that a child with such a good talent could be so vengeful.

"Forget it, I was just joking. You helped me rescue Riolu, which already shows that you are not a person like Team Rocket. But I want to apologize to you. At that time, I was worried whether you would I'm really sorry for taking this opportunity to snatch Riolu away, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Yuuto can no longer understand Ikki now. In this short period of time, Ikki has changed too quickly.

"Don't get me wrong, even if I consider you a friend now, until you are willing to tell us what you have been hiding, Riolu and I still cannot trust you unconditionally."

Yuuto sighed, no matter what, at least he didn't have to comfort him anymore.

After Ikki had taken care of everything, Yuuto took him back to where he was just now.

"Hua Ling, how are these three elves?"

As soon as he saw Hua Ling sitting on the ground resting, Ikki ran over anxiously and asked.

Hua Ling nodded first, then shook her head.

"Nidoking and Nidoqueen are out of danger with everyone's help, but Bulbasaur..."

Ikki looked at Bulbasaur, who was already surrounded by medical staff, and felt a little sweat in his heart for it.

"Ikki, isn't your Riolu injured too? Just leave it to the nurse over there. Then we can go to the Elf Center together."

Hua Ling looked at Riolu, who was messy and had many scratches on his body, and reminded him kindly.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Sure enough, compared to others, I still care about Riolu more.

"Yuuto, how are you and that guy named Delang? Are you injured?"

Yuuto lowered his head and suddenly fell to the ground as if he was carrying a heavy burden. This behavior frightened Hua Ling, who almost had to take off his clothes to check.

"Although it is not shameful to be seen by a beautiful woman, thank you for your kindness. I'm fine, but my face hurts a little."

Yuuto rubbed the place where Riolu had just hit him, thinking: It was such a heavy blow, at least I have to let myself explain.But Yuuto's interest in Riolu is growing.

"It seems they are taking the injured elf to the elf center for treatment. Let's go with them!"

Ikki ran back and reported the news to the two people on the ground, but when he saw Yuuto, there was a complicated look on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Well, let's go Yuuto. I was so busy just now and I'm almost exhausted now. I've decided!" Hua Ling took out a colorful book from the basket. When Ikki took a closer look, it turned out to be a travel book. manual.

"Sister Hualing, can I ask, what are you doing when you come out to study with a travel guide?"

Hua Ling looked at Yihui with confusion on her face: "Of course I want to see where there are delicious and fun things. Is there anything wrong with this?"

“But shouldn’t we concentrate on studying?”

"Humph, I don't want that. Without delicious food and interesting things, I can't do anything. To put it simply, these are my vitamins!"

Not only Ikki, but also Yuuto who was getting ready was shocked by Hua Ling's words. Without noticing, his hand slipped and his face came into close contact with the earth.

"Okay, okay, even Riolu is left to them, let's have some fun, Ikki!"

At this time, Hua Ling was like a child who had been waiting for a week to finally go to the amusement park. She grabbed Ikki and ran towards Qianhong City regardless of anything else.

Yuuto slowly got up and finally got the dirt off his face. He saw Hua Ling and Ikki running far away and had no choice but to shake his head.

"Slow down, wait for me!"
