Pokémon: Stranger Things

The trip to the summer festival is over, and the trip to Dead Leaf City is coming to an end.

After the festival is over, the journey will continue.The time has come for the ferry tickets I booked before to come in handy.Since the distance from Dead Leaf City to Zhenxin Town by waterway is not far, it didn't take much time for Chensha and Tianman to reach Zhenxin Town.

Along the way, there is nothing particularly worthy of attention.Compared with the friendly match that Chensha encountered when going to the Kanto area, this voyage did not hold any activities.

Zhenxin Town is an ordinary rural town with few residents, and its scale is much smaller than Ziyuan Town, which Chensha and the others had visited before.Although there is a beautiful pastoral scenery to watch, except for those who come to visit Dr. Oki, not many tourists will come to Zhenxin Town specifically.

"True newness is the pure white color that symbolizes departure..."

At the entrance of the town, Amma looked at the town inscription thoughtfully.

"Tianma, what's the matter? Do you care about this?"

"No, it's fine. Let's go directly to the research institute. Dr. Oki should... be there."

Facing Chensha's concerned question, Tianman smiled, indicating that he was fine.

It seems that even after the summer festival, there still seems to be some knots in Tenma's heart that have not been untied.

Chensha kept Tianman's suspicious performance in mind, opened the elf illustration book, and walked to the Oki Research Institute under the guidance of the map.Different from the residential buildings in the town, the architectural style of the research institute can be distinguished at a glance. Not only the occupied area but also the decoration style are eye-catching.

After all, Dr. Oki is a well-known elf scholar in the Kanto area, and even in the whole world, so it is normal for his research institute to have such characteristics.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Standing in front of the main entrance of the institute, Chensha gently knocked on the door.Not long after, a young woman with long flaxen hair opened the door.

"Hello. Are you here to visit Dr. Oki's children? My name is Satsuki, and I'm the doctor's assistant. Please follow me to the lounge for a short rest. The doctor is receiving guests."

The woman who called herself Satsuki led Chensha and Tianma into the lounge in the research institute.Chensha felt that Gaoyue seemed to be somewhat similar to Xiaomao in terms of features.Maybe they are siblings?

"Excuse me, can you tell me who Dr. Oki's guest is?"

Although it felt impolite to ask this, Chen Sha vaguely felt in his heart that this was something that had to be done.

"Ah, it's okay, it's not considered rude. The person who came to visit Dr. Oki today is a former student of the doctor. It is said that he is a very authoritative bird elf expert in the Galar region!"

Gaoyue is very enthusiastic about answering Chensha's doubts, but Chensha has to pay attention to Tianman's movements.Tianman wrung his hands together awkwardly and rubbed them together. He had learned some medical psychology before, and this was a sign of uneasiness in his heart.

"Dr. Oki's students, Galar region, birds...."

Chensha threaded the information in his mind, echoing past memories, trying to organize them into a definite clue.When these pieces of information were mixed together, an answer gradually appeared in Chensha's heart.

Perhaps, the person who came to visit Dr. Oki was Tianma's father.But before I saw Tianman's mother at the transport station, no matter how I looked at Tianman's mother, she had a deep affection for Tianman.Why would she feel anxious about seeing her father?

"Okay, two little guests, shall we go in?"

Satsuki's voice brought Chensha's voice back to reality.Before setting off, Chensha gently took the hand of the hesitant Tianman.

Facing Tianman who raised his head in surprise, Chensha showed her a familiar smile.

"If you feel uneasy, I will be by your side."

"Well... let's go."

Tianman also put his other hand on it, and followed behind Chensha.

In the reception room, Dr. Oki just finished talking with the guests.Noticing that Satsuki brought in a new guest, he stood up from his seat, wanting to see who the guest was this time.

"It's two new trainers. Don't be restrained, just find a place to sit down."

Although Dr. Oki was well-known, he was indeed an approachable and enthusiastic elder, and he did not put on any airs with Chensha and the others.This made Dust's impression of Dr. Oki even better.

"Thank you very much, Dr. Oki..."

Chensha wanted to take Tianman to find a seat to sit down, but Tianman stopped.Chensha looked back, Tianman covered her mouth tremblingly with her hands, her eyes passed through Chensha, Satsuki, and even Dr. Oki, and landed on the guest who hadn't gotten up to leave.

".......dad."

Following Tianman's gaze, Chensha also looked at the man whom Tianman called his father.Tianma's father has short dark green hair, but his blue eyes are exactly the same as Tianma's. It seems that she has inherited the characteristics of both parents well.

"Sorry, Dr. Oki, the little girl is a little shy, and I made you laugh."

Tianma's father said to Dr. Oki with a smile. .seven

"It's all right, Hermes. Children are like that."

Dr. Oki didn't seem to be dissatisfied with Tianma's abnormal behavior.

"That day is over, give Dr. Oki what I gave you earlier."

"it is good."

Tianman took out a small box from his backpack and put it on the table in front of Dr. Oki.

"This is the gigantic data about some bird elves in the Galar region that my father has studied."

After Tianman finished speaking like a machine running according to the program, he silently walked back behind Chensha, trying to hide his body in Chensha's back.

But Chensha was still watching.Tianma's father - Hermes seems to be a kind person now, but Tianma still resists communicating with him.

Perhaps this is an act of faking in front of outsiders?Before the situation was clarified, Chensha had no choice but to speculate different results based on the existing information.

"Since the things have been delivered, Tenma, why don't you go back with me? Back to our home in Galar. Is this journey a happy one?"

Hermes held out his hand to Tianma.

"Well, father. It is indeed... a happy journey."

After saying this, Tianman turned around and ran out the door before everyone could react.For a moment, she burst into a speed that felt faster than the little rabbit.Chensha didn't think too much, and immediately chased after him, leaving the three of them who were still in the reception room looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Tianman stopped by a small pond next to Zhenxin Town.Staring at the calm water in front of her, she felt someone coming behind her.

Although there were no footsteps, she still knew who that person was.

"You're here, Chensha. The one who will catch up to me...is really you."

Tianman turned around slowly and looked at Chensha who was walking.She put her right hand on the position of her heart and spoke softly.

"Do you want to know. My name's—"

She slowed down for the last two words.

"significance."
