Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"I said, Ikki, have you decided which gym to go to next?"

Yuuto put all the plates on the dining table aside, spread out the large map he was carrying on the table, and looked at Ikki distressedly. [Zero↑Nine△小↓说△网]

"Actually, I haven't decided yet, you see," Ikki stood up, pointed at the map and said to Yuuto: "We are in Qianhong City now, and the two gyms closest to here are Golden City and Rainbow City. The gym."

"Well, you're right, we are very close to both gyms, so what's your decision?"

Ikki is also very confused. Although he really wants to go to Golden City, when he thinks about fighting Sister Nazi, Ikki is a little unsure.

"I still don't want to fight Sister Nazi. What do you think, Riolu?"

Ikki suddenly turned the topic to Riolu, who was still dining, but there was nothing he could do about it. Among these people, only Ikki and Riolu knew the situation in Golden City better.Yuuto hasn’t been to Golden City yet either.

After wiping his paws clean, Riolu jumped onto the table and looked at the map at his feet.

"I think Ikki, you are not capable of defeating Nazi yet. Let's go to Rainbow City first..."

According to the original work, Nazi's character has changed a lot. Who knows how much stronger she has become, but if Riolu can keep moving quickly, it shouldn't be a problem.

"makes sense……"

However, Yuuto looked a little strange. He suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Ikki's hand, and said excitedly: "Ikki, you actually know the gym trainer in Golden City! Is this true?"

Ikki was a little overwhelmed by what he did and nodded mechanically.

"Uh...well, that's right. We used to play together..."

When Riolu saw Yuuto's posture, he knew that he must have been hit hard, although he didn't know what hit him.

"No! Let's go to Jinhuang City! We must go!"

Yuuto suddenly became more excited, and even said that Ikki's hand hurt.

"Okay, okay, calm down!"

Pulling his hands out of those plier-like hands, Ikki shook his hands sadly. [Zero↑Nine△小↓说△网]

"Well, then it's decided!"

No one knew what happened, and no one understood why Yuuto was so excited.

Hua Ling thought he had taken the wrong medicine and worriedly checked his body.

But this time, Yuu Dou was surprisingly calm. Judging from past situations, if Hua Ling did such a behavior, he would definitely blush and avoid it, but this time he didn't, and he didn't even pay attention to Hua Ling. Look at the map steadily.

After finishing lunch, the three of them were ready to pack up and hit the road.

This time Yuuto also called out Bi Diao and Hua Ling sat on Bi Diao and flew in the air. Ikki also called out the little fire horse and moved with Bi Diao at the same speed.Now that you've decided to set off, you can't wait any longer.

"Hey, in the end we still have to go find Sister Nazi."

Sitting on the back of the little fire horse, Ikki sighed helplessly.

Riolu was placed in front of him. Anyway, Ikki had told the little fire horse, so the flames would not burn him.

"You always have to face it, right? Do you want to give up the gym in Golden City and go to other gyms to collect badges?"

Ikki shook his head and said: "I just think it's a bit early to go find Sister Nazi now. After all, we have just set off not long ago. Although I am looking forward to it, I am also very uneasy. What if I am criticized by my sister?" …”

Hearing that Ikki was reluctant to go to Golden City for this reason, Riolu smiled and said to Ikki: "Since you don't want to be criticized, then show your strength. Don't forget that you are not a People, little fire dragon, little fire horse, Lulili and me, aren’t they all fighting for you?”

"Eh? Riolu wants to fight too?"

Ikki was shocked. Riolu had never said he wanted to help Ikki compete since he left for the trip, but this time he offered it, which was really strange.

"Don't worry, I'll help you just this time. This is what I made an appointment with Nazi, so I have to fight, so if I think there's any trouble, I'd like to ask your forgiveness, Ikki." Zero↑Nine△小↓说△网】"

Stars were about to appear in Ikki's eyes. If he hadn't had to hold up the little fire pony, he would have lifted Riolu up and spun around a few times to express his joy.

"No trouble, I'm glad you can help me. Give me some time and I'll study this book!"

Because Riolu joined in the middle, Ikki's plan was also disrupted, but he did not feel unhappy at all, but felt that his body was full of power.

"That...that is to say..."

Holding the "Skills Encyclopedia" in one hand, Ikki was about to read it, but something suddenly occurred to him.

"what happened?"

"Since Riolu is going to participate in the gym battle, can he let me take command..."

"Of course, isn't this common sense? It just so happens that I can see how much of my fighting skills you can learn in such a short period of time."

Ikki's face was filled with a bright smile, and without saying much, he buried his head in the book and read seriously.

'Let him give it a try. It just so happens that I can also understand Ikki's fighting style. '

However, Riolu expressed deep doubts about whether Ikki could really learn the fighting skills of the fighting system.

Golden City is not far from here and can be reached within today.Sure enough, it's because of the way of movement.

The journey went smoothly, and several people arrived in the mountains near Jinhuang City before the sun set.

"Ah, I'm finally back..."

Gyms are basically not open at night, so the group is planning to find a place to stay after entering Golden City.

"Eh...that's weird."

"Well, very strange."

Yuuto and Hualing landed on the ground and heard Ikki and Riolu talking together.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Yuuto and Hua Ling had already arrived, Ikki pointed in the direction of the city and motioned for them to look.

Golden City was shrouded in a strange white mist, which looked like an enlarged version of Lulili's [Pray for Rain].

"It's such a heavy fog. I heard that Jinhuang City doesn't have a climate where fog can form. Hmm... it's really strange."

Hua Ling is not worried about this at all: "Let's find a place to live. Even if it's strange, it's just fog, there's no big problem!"

"Well... that's what I said. Then go to my house. I just want to see what's going on at home!"

"Okay, then let's go."

Ikki and Riolu led the way, while Hualing and Yuuto followed behind them.Entering the city limits, everyone discovered that the fog was much thicker than what they saw outside. The visibility became lower as they went in, and in the end they could only see about five meters around them.

"Anyway, the fog is too heavy."

Even Ikki couldn't figure out the direction. In such a thick fog, Riolu was the only one who could lead the way.

"Hold me so I don't get separated."

Handing the two ends of the scarf to Ikki and Yuuto, who was holding Hana Ling respectively, Riolu closed his eyes and walked forward through the image transmitted through the waveguide.

The city is very quiet, and even creates a scary atmosphere at night, with no one on the streets.

Riolu could only attribute everything that happened to Nazi. After all, Golden City is a city of superpowers, and the most prominent one is Nazi.

"Wait a minute, Riolu, that's the wall over there!"

Seeing that Riolu was about to hit the wall, Ikki quickly pulled his scarf hard.Even though Ikki meant well, it almost made Riolu choke.

"Wall? Impossible!"

According to the image transmitted by the waveguide, the road ahead is indeed the road leading to Ikki's house. Even after being out for so long, Riolu still remembers it clearly.When he opened his eyes, a wall suddenly appeared in front of him. This huge contrast made Riolu stunned for a moment, but he soon understood the reason.

"Just follow me, you won't be wrong, trust me!"

Then, Riolu passed through the wall under the eyes of the three of them.If it weren't for the scarf I still had in my hand, the three of them must have felt like they were hallucinating.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that, but this virtual scene is too realistic. Without Riolu, the three of them would probably have been wandering here.

Yuuto knew that the wave guide would not go wrong, so he pulled Hua Ling and followed him in, while the remaining Ikki had no choice but to enter.

Sure enough, when the wall came into contact with the body, it passed through easily like a burst of gauze.

On the other side of the wall, the fog disappeared a lot, and it seemed that this was the real Golden City.

"Ah, that's my home!"

Ikki saw his residence at a glance, and his field of vision became wider, so he rushed over immediately.

Riolu glanced at the two of them and had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and led the two of them towards the house.

The door was opened by Yukino. The moment she saw Ikki, she immediately happily pulled him into the room. Riolu who came in later was picked up by her and rubbed her cheeks constantly, completely ignoring Yuuto and Hualing.

"Ikki, this is..."

This is the first time Yuuto has seen such a unique parent.

Hearing Yuto's words, Yukino realized that there were two people standing at the door, and said enthusiastically: "You are Ikki's friends, come in quickly, I will make something for you, haven't you eaten yet?"

Yukino's habits remained the same as before. Riolu had long been used to it, so he didn't care. When he heard that Yukino was going to the kitchen, he immediately followed him in. Soon, the sound of a frying pan was heard in the kitchen.After a while, Yukino opened the kitchen door and walked out with a frustrated look.

"The cooking skill I am most proud of, actually... lost to Riolu..."

Although he was surprised by Yukino's words, Yuuto still asked the more important questions first.

"That... aunt?"

"Just call me Yukino."

"Uh...Aunt Yukino, what happened here?"

Ikki also said: "Yes, what happened here after we left? And, where is dad?"

Yukino sighed and said helplessly: "Hai just left. As for what happened in this city, I'll tell you slowly..."
