Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Ikki took Riolu back to the Elf Center and immediately handed him over to Joey, who had just returned.

After a simple treatment, the scratch on his mouth was finally taken care of, and Ikki was told not to eat until the injury was healed, and to come regularly for nutritional injections.

There was no way around it. Ikki looked at Riolu with a wry smile and had no choice but to agree.

Although it is a scratch, the wound is actually quite serious. If not treated, it may expand the area of ​​infection, which cannot be cured by applying some medicine.

Not being able to eat really gave Riolu a headache, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who knew that the situation at that time could only do this.

Hua Ling and Yuu Dou also came to the elf center at this time.Yuuto also took back Bi Diao who was waiting at the door.

"Ikki, how's it going? Is he okay?"

Hua Ling trotted to Ikki, took Riolu from his hand, and looked at it carefully.

"Okay, Hua Ling, Riolu is fine."

Yuuto found a bench and sat down, looking at the two of them with a smile.

"Thank you, I owe you a favor now."

Riolu broke free from Hua Ling's hands, walked over and jumped on the bench, sitting down not far from Yuuto.

After being said like this, Yuuto immediately didn't know how to continue his words, he hesitated and said: "No...that...how should I say it..." After thinking for a while, he couldn't find any good words, so he had to Sighing, "Don't worry, I didn't do it for no reason."

"What's that for?"

Ikki also came between the two of them and looked at Yuuto who was at a loss with a smile.

"Well...hey, I guess my brain is not working well. I can't explain it."

"Hmm... Yuuto is still so dishonest. He and Ikki are obviously friends, why can't he tell me?"

Yuuto had no resistance to Hua Ling, just like Yukino had no resistance to cute things. As soon as he saw what Hua Ling did inadvertently, his face immediately turned red.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you like before." Ikki picked up Riolu and looked at Yuuto seriously, "But I hope you can face us with your truest side, don't Can you stop pretending?"

Yuuto was stunned: "What do you mean by this? Except for some things about me that cannot be said, isn't everything else the same as what you see?"

Ikki shook his head: "I hope you won't pretend like this anymore. Don't you feel tired?"

"Eh? Yuuto has another appearance? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Hua Ling moved her face closer to Yuuto, trying to see something different as Ikki said.

"Hua, Hua Ling, too close!"

Yuuto turned his face away, exhaled a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and then started to face Ikki.

"Heh, Riolu must have told you, right?" Yuuto looked at the elf in Ikki's arms who was pretending to look at the scenery, and said angrily, "Looks like I need to be careful next time I'm alone with you. It’s one o’clock.”

He stood up, looked at Ikki's clear eyes as deep as the stars, and said helplessly: "Okay then, as you wish."

Stretching his hand towards Ikki, Yuuto smiled and said: "Then let's do it again. I am Yuuto, please give me your advice!"

Ikki also smiled and stretched out his left hand: "This is the first time we meet, I am Ikki, a trainer from Golden City, my goal is to become the champion of the Alliance Challenge!"

The two hands were held together in a friendly manner, but then a black paw stretched out and rested on the two people's hands.

"Riolo?" "You..."

Looking at the two of them angrily, Riolu said slowly: "Isn't this a matter of course? I am also a traveling companion. Don't ignore me because you think I am an elf!"

Hua Ling also ran over and put her slender hands on Riolu's paws.

"Then I will come too, and I will invite you to give me more advice from now on!"

They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Ah, by the way, your gifts haven't been given to you yet!"

Hua Ling suddenly remembered the gift box that she had just put in front of the counter and forgot to take over, so she hurried over.

"Huh~ Fortunately, I didn't lose it."

Holding two boxes that were not too heavy, Hua Ling handed them to Ikki and Yuuto.

"Huh? For me?"

Yuuto put the box to his ear and shook it. From the sound, it didn't sound like it was a heavy object.

"Well, Ikki bought this for you, please open it and take a look."

Yuuto looked at Ikki suspiciously, and then slowly untied the ribbon after the other person turned his head in embarrassment.

Ikki handed the relatively small box to Riolu and ran into his room.

"What is this kid doing mysteriously?"

"Oh, this may be the first time you give a gift to someone else. Yuuto is really petty."

"Well... I'd better continue to dismantle it."

After spending some time, Yuuto finally removed the ribbon and slowly opened the lid, revealing the contents inside.

"Hehe, he is really attentive..."

& nbs

p; "Well, he picked it very hard..."

On the other hand, Ikki quickly ran back to the room and immediately closed the door tightly. He put Riolu next to the bed and threw himself on the bed, covering his head with a pillow.

"Ikki, what's wrong with you? You can't be sorry."

"Tsk, this is my first time giving someone a gift, so I'm a little nervous..."

Riolu shook the box in his hand and said, "Then shouldn't you be nervous now? I also received something from you."

I don't know whether it was because he was suffocated by the pillow or because he figured it out, Ikki slowly got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"It doesn't matter what Riolu said, but I still feel a little uncomfortable with Yuuto."

Ikki looked at the white ceiling and said distressedly.

But Ikki didn't notice the dim look that flashed in Riolu's eyes.

"Open it, I hope you like it."

After sorting out his mood, Riolu nodded and began to unpack, but...

"That...I can't seem to do it..."

After several attempts, Riolu was once again convinced that with his stubby fingers, it was really impossible to perform delicate operations such as unpacking, but he did not rule out the possibility that the package was too strong. sex.

Ikki had to do it for him.After removing the ribbon, he placed the box back on Riolu.

"that's it."

Seeing Ikki's mysterious smile, Riolu could only shrug and opened the lid.

It wasn't anything expensive, just a red bow tie, but the workmanship was quite exquisite. Riolu's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"I thought that Riolu might not have anything you need. Even if you buy it back, it will only add to the burden of travel. After searching around, I still think that accessories are better. In the end, Hua Ling and I chose this bow. Don't blame me. Stingy."

Slowly picking up the tie, Riolu looked at the tie and then at Ikki, not knowing what to say.

"You... don't like it, then I'll take it and return it."

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Ikki thought he had done something wrong. He just wanted to take the tie in his hand, but he dodged it.

"I didn't say I didn't like it, I just didn't know if it would suit me. Thank you."

What is used to fix the bow tie is something similar to a hairpin. He can still complete this operation by himself.

Pinning the tie to the collar-like yellow hair under his neck, Riolu asked Ikki, "How do you feel?"

"Hmm... wait a minute, it's a little crooked... I'll adjust it... um, okay, it suits you very well!"

Riolu nodded to the excited Ikki.

"Then I'll wear it for now and show it to Yuuto and the others later. But Ikki," Riolu's tone suddenly became serious, "Although I'm very grateful for your gift, I still hope you can save a little." Money, forget it this time, it won’t be easy for Yukino and the others..."

Ikki smiled softly: "I didn't spend money randomly. This time I asked my mother and the others for permission to buy it. Riolu doesn't have to worry!"

I totally thought wrong, but now I feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, it's great that you can do this. Special training starts in the afternoon, and the gym competition can't be left behind!"

"Well, I'll do my best. Ah! I actually forgot about the gifts from Charmander and Lulili! Just wait for me, I'll be back in a minute!"

I was about to call Ikki, but he had already rushed out.

"This is really...should we say that he has grown up and started to think about others, or should we say that he was infected by Yuuto?"

Jumping out of bed, Riolu stood in front of the full-length mirror by the wall, taking a good look at his outfit.

"A scarf paired with a bow tie or something... seems a bit strange..."

If you only wear one of them, it would be really good. Ikki is quite appreciative.

After stretching, Riolu jumped on the bed, turned into Ikki's quilt, and curled up into a ball.

"Let's take a rest first. I have to go over to help with Ikki's special training..."

-----------------------

At this time in Dead Leaf City, the trio of Team Rocket were sneaking into the kitchen of the Elf Center.

"Kojiro, where do you think the thing the boss asked us to find is?"

Musashi took out the remaining meals from various storage cabinets and refrigerators, and ate them as if he had found a delicacy in the world.

"How do I know? The boss asked us to look for it. Did he tell us where it is..."

"Don't be discouraged, Kojiro. That thing must be valuable. If we can find that thing and give it to the boss, the past debts may be wiped off."

"Miaomiao, you are right, Musashi, we have to work hard to find him!"

At this moment, the kitchen door was suddenly opened.

"I just received an alarm, saying that a thief was heard in the kitchen of the Elf Center. It's true!"

Junsha took the handcuffs out of her work clothes.

"Now I want to formally arrest you for theft!"
