Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"Ikki, are you really okay?"

Riolu looked at Ikki, who was standing opposite him, flipping through the book in his hand in a panic, and asked a little worriedly.

"No, no problem!"

Even though he said this, he still felt difficult.

The writing in Ikki's hand was none other than the "Encyclopedia of Skills" published by someone unknown.

But looking at Ikki's face, you can tell that he doesn't understand fighting skills yet.

"How about we start first? Standing like this all the time is not an option!"

The Charmander in front of Ikki was about to fall asleep. If it continued like this, the training would be completely ruined.

Ikki finally stopped flipping through the book and nodded towards Riolu.

"Little Fire Dragon, use [Jet Flame]!"

But Riolu no longer cares about skills like this, and even hiding is easy.

"Ikki, training like this is not possible..."

Riolu knew even better than Ikki the extent of Charmander's abilities. When he fully knew what moves his opponent would use, it became extremely difficult to hit him.

"Ahem!" Ikki coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "Riolu, this is special training for you, not Charmander!"

"Wani Wani~ [But I can't hit him~]"

There was no way, training like this had no effect at all, Riolu stood on the field with his paws folded.

"Forget it, I'd better train Charmander more while I have this time. I will officially challenge the gym tomorrow. Don't be too tired today..."

"How about that!"

Ikki shouted out a little uncontrollably.

"You...what's wrong with you? What happened?"

He would not be anxious for no reason, Riolu knew this very well, and fooling around was not in line with Ikki's character.

"That...well..."

"Isn't it Yuuto who said something..."

Riolu glanced at Yuuto, who was struggling to get up slowly. After the latter noticed Riolu looking at him, he immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.

Sighing, Riolu walked up to Ikki.

"You know everything about the level?"

"Um……"

"That's why you want to give me special training?"

"……Um"

"...What a little fool..."

Riolu said the last sentence with a smile, but Ikki didn't hear it.

"Then how do you feel?"

Knowing that Ikki was not worried about anything, Riolu felt relieved.

Ikki did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before slowly saying: "A little anxious, and I still feel a sense of loss..."

Riolu chuckled twice and said to Ikki, who was already a little sullen when he saw his appearance: "Thank you for your concern, but I will handle my problem myself. You should prepare yourself first, Charmander You and Lu Lili are also your important partners!"

After a pause, Riolu continued: "Moreover, if you keep worrying about me, Charmander and Lulili will be delayed by you. If so, I will not accept your challenge, so …”

He deliberately put it off and spoke in mid-sentence, curiously observing Ikki's reaction.

"So what?"

As soon as Ikki mentioned being able to challenge Riolu, he immediately became energetic.

"So, you must at least get eight badges through your own efforts in the future!"

Hearing this condition, Ikki didn't know what to say, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Does this count as a condition for you? This is obviously inevitable!"

Riolu turned and walked towards the elf center, saying as he walked: "Then come on! I'm waiting for the day when you challenge me!"

After Riolu left, Yuuto stood up from the ground again and came to Ikki's side.

"Riolu is also a good teacher..."

Ikki was stunned by these words: "Teacher? Riolu?"

Yuuto smiled and nodded.

"Of course, whether it's your Charmander or you, he doesn't always

Are you all helping? "

Ikki held his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"……makes sense."

Yuuto put his hand on Ikki's shoulder and ruffled his short hair with his other hand.

"In this case, why not continue quickly!"

Ikki pushed Yuuto away angrily: "I understand, can you please stop doing this next time! It hurts..."

"Ah, sorry, I pretended to be used to it before, but unconsciously..."

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

Taking advantage of the small number of people in the hall, Riolu quickly hit the ground with his feet and walked through the corridor as fast as he could, arriving in front of Ikki's room.

"Fortunately, keys are used outside. I really don't know what to do if it's a handle."

The keyhole was at a slightly higher place, and Riolu could reach it with a slight jump, so it didn't take much time to get in.

Go to the bathroom and wipe the dusty areas on your body with a towel, then Riolu jumps on the bed.

'It seems that I have been in the same room with Ikki for many nights. Do you want to try separately today? '

It's not that he can't understand Ikki's behavior today, it's just that he has developed a sense of dependence on himself, so he is worried about the level...

"Really, if I had known better, I wouldn't have helped him with those two badges!"

Counting the gray badge, the one at the Red Lotus Gym was obtained with his help. However, this is absolutely not possible. If Ikki is too dependent on others, it will be difficult for Ikki to become a trainer on his own. Then he will travel with him. Half of the meaning is lost, and the remaining half becomes worthless.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion in the hall outside the door, and the sound was quite loud.

"At this time? What will happen?"

With the experience of opening the door last time, this time he opened the door about 3 minutes early. However, the commotion was almost over, but Riolu saw Ikki and Yuuto at a glance, who might have heard the news.

"That's it. The elf hunter attacked it, so it was injured like this."

Before they even walked in, Riolu recognized the person talking to Ikki and Yuuto - it was the gym trainer of the light red gym: Aji.

"Olulu!"

In order to attract everyone's attention without attracting too much attention, he did not use [Telepathy], but used a normal cry.

"Ah, you're here..."

When Ikki saw Riolu coming behind him, he picked him up.

Aju was obviously curious about this elf he had never seen before, but he didn't do much, which also saved Riolu and Ikki a lot of explanations.

"Then the situation is roughly like this: the elf hunter attacked the overlord of this forest - the Alidos you mentioned, causing it to be injured now, and then was discovered by you while escaping, and then sent here .What I said is right, Mr. Aju."

Ikki's words were meant for Riolu, after all, he didn't understand the situation yet.

But after he finished speaking, Ikki felt the two claws on his arm clenching hard, and a sharp pain shot up from his arm.But Ikki didn't show the pain on his face.

"You're right, that's it. Who told me that I didn't have the elf ball with me at that time, otherwise I would definitely have to teach those people a lesson!"

Ah Jue said through gritted teeth, as if he was about to eat someone.

"Then can we come together to help?"

Yuuto bent down and asked Ajie in a very sincere tone.

"Are you willing to help? Thank you very much!"

"There's no need to thank you. We just want to have a gym battle with you."

Ajie stood up from the stool and held Yuuto's hands.Everyone knew that he was happy, but there was still no big expression on his face, it was still a poker face.

'Elven hunter! ! '

The claws continued to exert force, and if this continued, it might not be as simple as pain.

"Well, well, let me excuse you for a moment!"

After saying that, Ikki rushed towards the room without looking back.

Looking at the elf in his arms who was lost in thought, Ikki began to worry again.

'Riolu, what's wrong with you...'
