Pokémon Beyond the Blue

At night, the three people sat silently on the chairs in the Elf Center, but no one spoke, and this went on for a long time.

Ikki was worried about Riolu's condition and was forced to play by Hua Ling during the day. Although he felt much better, he still couldn't forget Riolu.

Hua Ling took the initiative to accompany him. When they came back, Hua Ling felt that the atmosphere seemed to have changed, and Ikki's eyes were still slightly red, obviously he had cried just now.

Ikki is not a crybaby, and Hua Ling doesn't know why she feels this way, but whenever she sees this child, she will have an incredible feeling.

Yuuto came here purely on his own, but as soon as he got close, Hua Ling could clearly feel that something was wrong with Ikki.

"Did you two have a fight?"

"Hey……"

"Yuuto, why are you bullying Ikki? Tell me quickly!"

Hua Ling tried hard to look intimidating, but no matter what she did, she felt more and more cute.

Yuu Dou's face turned red and he turned away from Hua Ling.

"It's hard to tell you clearly. I think it's better for me to leave first..."

He stood up, walked around Hua Ling, and walked towards the elf center.

Hua Ling looked at Yuuto who was walking away, and then at Ikki who lowered his head and remained silent.

"What two strange people."

She had no choice but to sit next to Ikki, looking at the ceiling and then at the ground. It didn't take long for her to feel bored, so she took out several bottles from her pocket and placed them on the chair, mixing them with each other.

Worried, Ikki is also worried about Yuuto.

Since you choose to believe it, you can't doubt it, Ikki told himself so, but there was always a strange feeling in his heart.

Yuuto on the other side did not obediently go back to the lounge to sleep. Instead, he came to Riolu's medical room and carefully turned the handle to avoid making any noise.

The moonlight is very bright tonight, and a few beams of golden healing light shine softly in the silver-white room.

Yuuto came to the side, found a chair from behind and sat down, looking at the elves inside through the glass cover.

Riolu was golden, and Ikki seemed to have forgotten to restore him to his original state. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but none of that mattered.

"I didn't expect the injury to be so serious. Even the old man's medicine couldn't cure it. That guy Delang..."

When he thought of Delang, Yuuto clenched his fists angrily and gritted his teeth.

Thinking of the times when I used it on my own elves in the past, the effect was surprisingly good, and none of them had to sleep for so long like Riolu.

Generally speaking, the effect of the medicine only lasts for one or two hours. Yuuto lied and said it would take a day for his own good.

"If I hadn't expected to meet him here, I would have..."

He would never let go of someone who would hurt an elf like this. Unfortunately, it was just a bluff at the beginning. If there was a real fight, he would have no chance of winning.

But fortunately, that guy Delang didn't have a good brain, so he just pretended, but he didn't expect it to succeed.

The more Yuuto thought about it, the angrier he became, but he couldn't find a suitable target to vent his anger to, so he finally slapped himself in the face. Half of his face, which was still pretty, suddenly became swollen.

"Hiss~, it seems that I have exerted too much force~"

This slap was not for his masochistic tendencies, but for Ikki.

"I always feel a little sorry for him."

Yuuto held his head and leaned down, staring blankly at the marble floor beneath his feet.

But as soon as he considered his current situation, this was the only way he could think of. He didn't want Ikki to be involved in the huge whirlpool he was in.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a sudden collision in the silent room, and it was right in front of Yuuto.

"I didn't expect you to actually think about Ikki. I must have blamed you wrongly."

"Le...Riolu?! When did you wake up!"

Looking up, Yuuto met those scarlet eyes.

Riolu sighed. He couldn't move at the moment. The space of the cover was only so big, so he had to lie down and said to Yuuto.

"It was just now, when you hurt yourself."

"Uh...where did you learn this word? It's obviously just an elf..."

Although Yuuto said he didn't care, Riolu didn't think so.

"I would like to thank you first for Ikki." The words of a person who can say such words and act like this on such an occasion must not be false, but there is another question, "Why do you have to Conquer me?"

Riolu would feel hairy every time it came to this matter or if he was given an opportunity to take advantage of it, but this time Yuuto did not make him feel this way.

Yuuto was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Does a trainer need any other reason to conquer a powerful elf?"

Riolu smacked his lips angrily and said, "That's not what your waveguide said. I advise you to recruit him truthfully, otherwise I will give you a good beating when I get out!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and shook it in front of Yuuto.

"Tsk, as expected you waveguide elves are difficult to deal with."

"It's good to know."

"Actually, it's nothing." Yuuto closed his eyes and began to recall his past, "I just thought of the powerful Lucario I met Zeng Jin. Ah! By the way, Lucario This is Riolu's evolved form, you should know this." He paused, looked at Riolu carefully, and after successfully making him feel frightened, he continued: "That Lucario is also Like you now, you can telepathize. I learned a lot from him at that time. He was like my teacher, teaching me all kinds of things..." Yuuto laughed.

It must have been a very happy time!Riolu thought so.

But Yuuto's expression suddenly became solemn: "But a few years ago, something bad happened, and I never saw him again..."

"So you started to practice?"

"Well, I'm wondering if as long as I'm strong enough, he will

Newly appeared, so decided to challenge the Kanto Alliance. At this point, Yuuto changed his voice and said, "Riolu, you give me a very similar feeling to him, so I want you to evolve." "

Riolu, who was lying in the cover, twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Is there any relationship between the two? Even if they are similar, what does evolution have to do with it?"

"Oh, just evolve and see, maybe Ikki will be happy too."

"..."

"How about it? Do you want to try evolving?"

Yuuto had almost pressed his face against the hood, his eyes dancing with excitement.

But Riolu could only refuse his proposal for no other reason.

"Elves must reach a certain level before they can evolve. You should know this common sense, right?"

Yuuto nodded.

"Then do you know my current level?"

Yuuto shook his head.

"It's hard to believe, but I don't know my level either."

Yuto is petrified.

"What did you say? You don't know your level?"

It was like dreaming about winning the league championship and waking up to find that it was true. Yuuto couldn't hold back his emotions, even though it was completely opposite to what he just described...

"What's weird about this? Without you guys following us, it would be difficult for us wild elves to even approach the city, let alone enter the gym or the elf center to check the level."

After hearing Riolu's words, Yuuto calmed down and thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

"Let's do that. I'll take you to check the level tomorrow. It just so happens that the Elf Center here has a device equipped to test the level."

"casual."

"Then it's decided. I'll leave first. You have a good rest. That guy Ikki is so worried that he hasn't fallen asleep yet."

The door closed quietly, and Riolu smiled to himself as he looked at the mechanical arm moving slowly outside the cover and the soft light shining on him.

'Maybe the Yuuto I saw just now is his true self... I'd better rest now, I'll be very busy tomorrow...'

No matter what, these three people's understanding of each other has changed greatly.

Yuuto got Riolu's forgiveness and his mood immediately improved a lot, but as soon as he walked out of the passage, he was hit by the oncoming Hua Ling.

"Yuuto, come here!"

Hua Ling pulled Yuuto towards the stool without saying a word.

"Um... Hua, Hua Ling, what are you doing?"

Forced to sit next to Ikki, Yuuto felt overwhelmed by this sudden situation.

"She said she wanted to travel with us."

Ikki sighed helplessly beside him, and it seemed that he was forced by Hua Ling to agree.

"This...but Hua Ling, didn't you say you were leaving after completing the research?"

"Yes, but that will be a long time later. I have a lot of time now!" Hua Ling covered her mouth and smiled secretly: "And you haven't found the medicinal herbs for me yet, have you?"

Ikki and Yuuto looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

……

After solving Hualing's problem, Yuuto patted Ikki on the shoulder. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

"Um...Ikki, I want to discuss something with you...that is..."

"You want to borrow Riolu, right?"

"Uh... you're right."

Yuuto was surprised: This guy must be too perceptive, even though he didn't say anything yet.

"As long as Riolu agrees, I have no objection," Ikki folded his hands together, looking worried, "I believe in Riolu, and I believe in you, Yuuto."

Seeing him still like this, Yuuto felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt.

"I will ask him, but it's so late now and you should go rest. I don't think Riolu wants you to harm your body for him."

"Well, I'm going to rest now. Good night everyone."

Ikki said the words weakly and walked towards the room.

"Hey, today is finally over, but how are we going to get along with each other in the future?"

Yuuto didn't know how to face Ikki at all.

Hua Ling sneaked up to Yuuto and said, "How do you get along? It seems that you two get along very well. Why do you want to change?"

"What's better? Now I don't even know how to face that kid."

Hua Ling jumped in front of Yuuto and stared at him with her face close to Yuuto's.

Yuuto felt that his face was about to catch fire: "You, you, what are you doing! Too, too close..."

But Hua Ling didn't care at all.

"Since you have to face friends, then show sincerity. Ikki is not that difficult to talk to, but he does give me a feeling of being more mature and stable than you."

Yuuto really didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Tsk, I'm really convinced by you. You should go and have a rest. Maybe you will be busy with something tomorrow."

"Well, I'm leaving then~"

Hua Ling yawned cutely while waving goodbye to Yuuto.

After sending Hua Ling away, Yuuto sat alone in the empty hall, looking up at the lights above his head.

"Are you sincere? What a troublesome woman!" Yuuto laughed as he thought about it.

But except himself, no one knows why he smiles, but as long as he sees it, he can understand that it must be a smile from the heart.

"Friends are such a troublesome but precious thing!"

Yuuto lay on the bench and began to make plans for his future trip.

'I really don't want to do it again, it feels very bad...'

So... Lucario, my friend and mentor, where are you now?How have you been...
