Pokémon: Stranger Things

The police officers who arrived cleaned up the mess—including cordoning off the scene and carrying away the seriously injured Chensha and Ferente.

Since it was Ferente's attempted murder, Chensha's behavior was regarded as self-defense and did not constitute an illegal act.And when Bai Bai led the police officers to Ferente's bar to investigate, they also found evidence of many crimes he had committed.When he is discharged from the hospital, he will naturally be unable to avoid the trial he deserves.

However, does this belated justice still have any effect?The answer may only be in the hearts of the parties involved.

These things are all unknown to Chensha.Because after she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, she fell into a coma for a week before waking up.When Chensha woke up, he found that he had been wrapped like a rice dumpling.

After all, his physique is still too bad. Without the help of the crystal lantern fire spirit, Ferente could almost beat him to death.Even after waking up, he still needs to lie in the hospital for a while before being discharged.

"Chensha, you finally woke up!"

Tianman, who was lying in front of the bed, noticed the sound coming from the bed.Through the observation hole in the gauze wrapped on his face, Chensha saw Tianma who had been with him in front of the hospital bed all this time.The dark circles under the eyes of Tianman's face were already very obvious. She had hardly closed her eyes in the past week. If she was really sleepy, she would close her eyes for a while, but she was still forcing herself to stay awake.

"It doesn't have to be like this, Tenma. I'll be worried about you instead..."

Dust's voice was a little hoarse.After all, he didn't drink enough water during this period of coma, and he still felt a little dry.

In addition to Tianman, the fairies of dust are also accompanying him everywhere in the ward.It was with the help of Chensha that the police in Qingtian City were able to capture Ferente, the legal person involved in the previous murder case, and at the same time, the previous attack case also stopped.This credit allows Chensha to enjoy the highest medical treatment in Qingtian City, and it is very easy to prepare a ward large enough to accommodate him and the elves.

Seeing Chensha wake up, his elves rushed up and surrounded him.

Kudao Xiaobing and Marsh Leaping Fish looked at the dust under the hospital bed, while Nian Meier and Ice Snow Dragon who wanted to throw themselves on the bed were held down by marsupials.As the oldest of this group of elves, the marsupial was like a parent teaching and disciplined those little elves—this made Dust feel very relieved.Shakilas had difficulty moving, but it still jumped over, and even the ammonite, which was always lazy before, slowly crawled to the side of the bed.Taking advantage of the marsupial's inattention, Ibrahimovic jumped onto the dusty bed and looked at it with teary eyes.It has to be said that after the evolution of Nianmeier, it is lighter in weight and has more advantages to make out with Dust.

"Okay, okay, I understand your thoughts... You should also take a good rest. Otherwise, I will be sad."

Dust naturally knows the minds of the elves, and their concern for themselves is not inferior to that of Tianma.After all, no matter who they are, they are Chensha's most cherished partners and family members.

During the period of recuperation in the hospital, besides Tianman who had been with Chensha all the time, many people came to visit her.

Bai Bai and Miss Junsha, the old people in the old town, and even Cheng Shu, who was still serving his sentence, were allowed to come to the elf center.What surprised Chensha the most was Dawu who made a special trip to Qingtian City.

When Chensha asked Dawu to help him look up Ferente's trainer information, Dawu had already realized that something was wrong, so he purposely stayed in the Kanto area for a while.After learning the news that Chensha was seriously injured, he immediately rushed to Qingtian City to meet Chensha.

"Brother Dawu, if you can come and see me, I am really..."

When Dawu arrived in Qingtian City, the dust had recovered a little, and the bandage on his face could be removed.Chensha is still very concerned about his appearance, and the first time he sees the doctor after waking up is to ask himself if he is disfigured.Fortunately, Ferente's punch wasn't right, Chensha's facial features were distorted without a punch.Coupled with the powerful medical technology now, Chensha's face has been restored to its original state.It's just that the sprain of the right arm and the blow injury on the body still need to recuperate.

"Needless to say, Chensha. You did a great job, and I'm proud of you. This flower... is what an elf wishes to give you."

Dawu put a handful of chrysanthemums of different colors in front of the dusty hospital bed.

"This is... Immortelle."

Chensha picked up the bouquet with his left hand and placed it in front of him, feeling the faint fragrance from the flowers.

"The flower language of Helichrysum is...[Eternal Remembrance]. Yeah, after all they're called everlasting flowers...."

Chensha softly spoke Immortelle's words.

"Yes."

Dawu looked up at the ceiling of the ward.

"I think it would like to see you too. It's just right now."

In the corner of the ward, the figure of the crystal lantern Huoling slowly emerged.As it has been in prison before.Compared with other crystal lantern fire spirits, it seems to have a special ability to hide its own body shape.

"You're awake, Chensha."

The voice of the crystal lantern fire spirit entered Chensha's mind.Different from the intermittent ones before, which could only be arranged into sentences by one's own thinking, at this time, the voice of the crystal lantern fire spirit could be clearly conveyed to Chensha.

"Don't think too much, it's because I decided to trust you. You are more like the guardian of lily of the valley than I am if you risk your life for someone you don't know."

"I see. After that, have you thought about where you should go?"

Chensha's thoughts don't need to be said, they can also be conveyed to the crystal lamp fire spirit who is communicating with his spirit.

"I......"

Crystal Lantern Huoling was at a loss for words.It has been carrying hatred and moving forward, but after losing this hatred, it can't think of what to do in the future, and where to go.

It originally thought that as long as it could take revenge, it would be able to find the meaning of living again.But now, it found itself empty.

"It's impossible to turn a blind eye to what was done to those innocent people anyway. So I think, maybe they will pay for your mistakes."

"...I naturally plead guilty."

"However, only me, Bai Bai and Tianman know that you did these things. If you don't want to continue dealing with them, I will tell Sister Baibai and Tianman, we will not tell this matter, you You are free to go where you want to go. Only if you think about it, you will find it one day.”

"Place you want to go........."

The figure of the crystal lantern fire spirit became blurred again.It has something to confirm.

The crystal lantern fire spirit shuttles between the present world and the spiritual world, and returns to the place where it should live, the spiritual world.There, there is still someone waiting for it, and for something to end at the same time.

"You're back, you've grown so big in a blink of an eye."

A young girl was squatting by the river, gazing intently at the river flowing in front of her.

"...It's all over."

"Really? It's been a long journey."

The girl stood up from the ground and stretched herself.

"...It's time for me to leave. Although I'm worried about my father, he will definitely muster up the courage to continue living—thanks to that gentle person."

The girl turned around, and the smile on her face was still as bright as before.

"So what about you, Crystal Light Fire Spirit? What kind of journey has this been for you?"

"...my story is over too. I will walk with you."

The crystal lantern fire spirit floated to the girl's side.But the girl just shook her head, and gently pushed the crystal lamp Huo Ling away.

"No, the place you should come to is not here, your journey will not end here. You still have a lot of things to do, you can see it? You don't have to go to the other side with me, I hope... ..”

The girl turned and walked away.

"The next journey that belongs to you will be a pleasant experience. Take my share and continue to live? If you are unhappy, even if you are a ghost, I will not let you go."

The crystal lantern fire spirit silently watched the girl's figure until it disappeared.Her story is completely closed, but what about yours?

It knows that the person it once cared about will never come back.And when Chensha asked it that question, how should it answer it?

Perhaps, it already has an answer in its heart.

The crystal lantern fire spirit returned to the present world.

"Have you found your own answer?"

Seeing the returning crystal lantern fire spirit, Chensha smiled slightly at it.

"I think I've found it."

The eyes of the crystal lantern fire spirit flickered with dark light, and an empty elf ball that Dust placed in the satchel slowly floated into the air.

"You are not a smart person, you have been working hard for others, right? Living is indeed not an easy thing. It takes more courage to choose to live than to die. And I don't intend to go with Lily of the Valley. So... ..."

The crystal lantern fire spirit hit the button of the poke ball.

"I'll be watching by your side."

The crystal light turned into a red light and entered the elf ball.The elf ball fell into Chensha's hands from mid-air. Chensha looked at the elf ball, and a figure of a certain person appeared in front of his eyes.

"Choose to live...how could I not know."

The figure of that person turned to look at Chensha.At this moment, under the reflection of the blue-purple firelight, her smile is as gentle as a blooming lily of the valley.
