[Pokémon] Wild baby

Really, that bastard Chi!

Once again, the office was in a mess after being raided by a certain beast from Kanto.

"You really didn't listen carefully to the training course for the league's champions to deal with general affairs, did you?" The young man, who had become gentler and calmer over time, bent down and patiently sorted out the documents that had been thrown out of order and flew to the floor.

"What's the use of just signing? You also have to stamp it!!"

It was rare that he complained about the devilish fool in his family who had been messing around every day for fifteen years.

The brown-haired boy with a helpless but clearly indulgent look stamped it with the exclusive seal of the acting champion without hesitation.

‘The word ah—why on earth is it written in cursive? ! ’

Xiaoxia, this guy’s head is broken!

Because you know the alliance won't read it seriously, you can't even write properly? !

Writing a letter every day has really become an obsession! ! !

By the way, Mr. Mao, why did I become a pathetic complainer? How can I fix it? It's obviously not a cool position at all. It doesn't suit me at all. It's true.

Neither of them is a guy anyone can worry about.

Although so far, only these two guys can make him take it so seriously.

Words from my family——

Well, it doesn’t take much for someone who admires Dr. Ohki so much that he wants to enshrine him.

The same goes for my sister Nanami, who has long been married to a filial husband.

His unfilial grandson and brother have absolutely nothing to worry about.

So in the final analysis, in the end, apart from his sidekicks and ancestors who had different personalities and were difficult to deal with, the only ones who really gave him such headaches and troubles were these two.

Tsk, annoying.

The boy who sorted out all the letters from Cerulean City early and put them on the corner of the table sighed. Finally, he picked up the passed resolution and pressed the button on the wall to convey the instructions.

However, you would be happy if you knew, that water type idiot.

Obviously at the beginning, he was a passer-by-level character who was completely ignored. He was insignificant and not worthy of attention. He was even stingy with the corner of his eye.

——When did that unknown little white flower grow into what it is now?

Midsummer six years ago.

Once again, I unexpectedly met a young man who was my fierce rival in life.

As always, he turned a blind eye to a certain young man who shamelessly claimed to be a young master.

Chi, with an indifferent expression, calmly handed over the bonus he received after winning the challenge to the orange-haired girl. After the latter accepted it as usual, he turned around and urged his brown-skinned companion softly: "Gang, let's go."

"Hello!!"

Oki Shigeru, who has been stimulated to the point of jumping by devilish bamboo horses countless times since they met when they were young, still hasn't lost his character today and said angrily: "I said - are you so afraid of my existence, Aka?"

The brown-haired boy who was still thinking of trying to maintain his momentum raised his lips and smiled.

At least, the loser will not lose the formation.

However, Xiaoxia, who was in a hurry because she didn't want to sleep on the street, silently demolished the remaining dignity in him: "What are you talking about, this guy?"

A slightly broken smile.

"Aren't you always defeated by Chi?"

A crossed fist above the head.

Completely unaware of his companion, Xiaogang, who was a little disdainful, he reminded her softly: "Forget it, Xiaoxia, give me some face."

No, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for him to say that?

"He has never won at all - completely!"

"Xiaogang, are your eyelids cramped? You shouldn't. Your eyes are so small."

No, indiscriminate attack!

It was a knowing blow that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Chi, the young boy who stayed on-hook smartly, said he had no idea.

Xiaogang, who was stepped on in pain, froze for a moment. Under the calm gaze of another companion, he squatted down and began to mutter. The dark aura wrapped in black lines made people retreat.

Pikachu, the most mature and sensible person in the team, sighed.

In a very humane manner, he patted the brown-skinned young man's back with his paw to express comfort.

"You dinosaur girl said, what, what!!"

The young man who finally couldn't hold back his outburst became so angry that his hand pointing at the green-eyed girl couldn't help but tremble.

"Aha--?"

Oops, not good!

Gang and Chi, who were keenly aware of the signs of the volcanic eruption, each took three steps back in tacit understanding, lowering their heads/averting their eyes, not daring to watch what would happen next.

Unsurprisingly, the violent result was that he was thrown from his back.

For a moment, the boy surnamed Omu felt that he had seen the gate of heaven and said that his whole body was in great pain! ! !

But wouldn't it be more embarrassing if he shouted out loud?

The young man, who had suppressed the redness in his eyes and turned pale, personally demonstrated that life depends entirely on acting.

Face is more important than life!

Mao and Xia, who have officially formed a relationship, will always look at each other angrily and refuse to give in due to various chance encounters.

However, every subsequent tit-for-tat confrontation always revolved around the topic of another teenager.

But it often gets to the point where the other two people form a group to watch them argue.

‘Ah, I feel a little irritable for no reason. ’

——Young man Chi thought this, and he didn’t know how many times he couldn’t understand the ending.

So, how can we make a promise that we will definitely win the other party's argument next time?

Obviously, you are always looking at my existence, right?

The young man who was still unable to perceive and distinguish the emotion of the faint loneliness in his heart pursed his lips.

A rare look that could be classified as weak and inexplicably aggrieved, causing the brown-skinned companions beside him to hold their chins in thought: 'Ah, youth, youth~'

The Kanto Tournament five years ago.

The water arrow turtle's eyes were closed tightly as he appeared on the arena where the smoke gradually dissipated.

Xiao Mao's clenched fists were also released.

I can’t tell how I feel.

It was only when he unconsciously watched the ground under his feet gradually getting wet, splashing out mottled shadows, that he suddenly became aware of it.

——Ah, I am crying.

How can it be repaired? It’s such an embarrassing posture, Ohgi Shigeru, it’s so embarrassing.

In this situation where the outcome has just been decided——

It is an annual event in Kanto, but at this moment, no one is cheering for the birth of the champion. The solemn silence seems to be soothing and mourning the passing of something regrettable.

It was too cruel, it was such a cruel battle.

No matter who wins or loses, it will be a disappointing ending.

I should have taken back the spirit in a cool and unrestrained manner, raised my usual smile, and used my grace to cover up the disappointing ending. That is what everyone wants to see, the ideal and beautiful ending - giving them a reason and signal to cheer and celebrate.

This is what you should do, save your last bit of dignity.

But, he can't do it.

The brown-haired boy asked himself that he did not have the maturity and grace to face his own failure.

You have worked hard for so long, obviously.

A year of training, in order to defeat the bamboo horses who set out at the same time, and to feel proud of myself who had been suppressed for nearly six years.

He never slacked off every minute and every second of the 365 days and 8,760 hours in the year.

but why?

A young man who realizes his shortcomings and gaps in time during the journey.

It has restrained the exaggerated ostentation and superfluous attentions that were once brought about by a wealthy family.

In order to make the most of his training time, he didn't even go home even once for a whole year. His sister Nanami's silence expected him to ignore it, and his grandfather's serious words made him close his ears.

However, it is such an effort, why? ! ! !

"Chi, you are indeed the most annoying."

The choked-up boy did not raise his face, and the aura that had always been flamboyant to the tips of his hair disappeared.

I am used to being tit-for-tat, and I am also used to the opponent's bold words and ambitions of setting a new flag every time he fails.

Chi didn't know how to react for a moment, and subconsciously pursed his lips to the completely unfamiliar situation in front of him - that was his instinctive reaction when he started to feel at a loss.

As the leader of the Chinese Blue Gym, one of the eight gymnasiums officially recognized by the Kanto Alliance, Xiaoxia, who attended the conference and watched the battle, quietly watched everything that happened on the field, and Xiaogang's sigh could be heard quietly beside her.

No one understands the significance of this battle to both of them better than those who have been watching the growth and bond between these two people.

That is beyond the so-called Kanto Champion——

Apart from the most resounding title and the highest honor on this continent, this is simply a persistent belief between two childhood friends who have known each other for several years. It is hard to say how to define it.

The so-called obsession: Definitely defeat him/cannot lose to him!

It's just the simplest stubborn idea.

In a way, the two teenagers who regard each other as the only ones in the world have long been accustomed to such a strange and stubborn way of getting along with each other. However, perhaps they have never thought about what will happen when the critical point of this state reaches.

The Kanto Conference was an opportunity to tear apart the hypocritical competition that they had struggled to maintain a balance in the past.

No matter who wins this conference, it will not be too surprising.

After all, both of them have fought with hard work and talent that is obvious to everyone. The career of a professional trainer is so cruel. How many people give up or change careers due to various reasons at the beginning of their journey.

The excellence of trainers is never a blind comparison of their love for the elves they cultivate.

Although this is also indispensable, when it comes to the love devoted to the inseparable elf partners, any trainer who has reached this point can strive for the first place without any shame. This is a proposition that needs no argument.

Talent and hard work, plus the one percent that is never indispensable, luck - the combination of these three factors is the source of motivation for trainers to fight hard and persevere.

Even Xiaoxia, who had ridiculed his strength many times and had a fight with the brown-haired boy, could not deny that when it came to talent, these two were the best.

But, there is only one winner.

One of the cruelties of this world lies in this——

The best selected by the mechanism of survival of the fittest are the ones that are outstanding in the eyes of the general public.

The silent and gradually anxious atmosphere on the court tormented the hearts of all those who were still paying attention to the development: "Hey! It's really ugly. That guy named Xiaomao, the loser should correct his attitude. Wu——!”

The barking people who came from nowhere began to make arbitrary judgments as if to please others, and then were caught off guard by fate.

There was a moment of vacuum-like silence.

The orange-haired girl expressionlessly retracted the hand that threw the weight ball. While the surrounding audience and gym leaders were very well-informed about the situation, they twitched their eyes and exclaimed silently. She tilted her head and smiled calmly: " What's wrong?"

The museum owners who received the calm death gaze of the Chinese Blue girl felt their desire for survival rise to an unprecedented level: "No, no!"

Ah, they understand this sudden frustration of a young man, quite understand it! !

No matter how turbulent it is off the court.

Chi, who was standing in the middle of the field at this moment, felt very uncomfortable.

This boy, who had just been promoted to be the new champion of Kanto, had no idea about his new and explosive identity. I was just simply glad that I had successfully defended the victory from the bamboo horse Xiaomao again.

Most of the time, he was still a child, and his desire to win led him to where he is today.

The fact that he didn't lose even once didn't deserve him to be particularly happy.

However, if the prefix is ​​added with Xiaomao, whom he considers to be his rival in life and his playmate since childhood, the meaning can be said to be different.

The bamboo horse in front of him still showed no intention of raising his head.

This victory is boring.

Impatiently, he stretched out his hand to adjust the position of his peaked cap. The red-eyed boy, who was determined to avoid such an uncomfortable situation, released his remaining elf partner: "Please, Bi Diao!"

Just like that, in full view of everyone, he simply jumped on the back of the huge flying elf - and flew away! ! !

Not to mention the excitement and panic outside the court.

Xiaoxia looked at the lost brown-haired boy who was still stranded on the field, surrounded by a light that was so bright that it could be seen with the naked eye. She resented her ex-companion a million times in her heart for running away leaving a mess behind.

Or he chose to walk into the venue as the brown-skinned young man was hesitant to say anything but Er Kang watched him off.

Carefully avoiding the large and small holes that remained on the arena that was riddled with holes after the fierce battle, he stood in front of the young man with his hands folded across his chest in a condescending manner: "Hey, let me tell you, you really explained to me what is... The attitude of a loser."

"What, you don't even have the courage to stand up anymore?"

Faintly aware of someone approaching, but unable to muster the energy, the young man suddenly raised his head. His eyes, which were burning with anger and were faintly red, were stunned when they came into contact with the white and tender palm that was calmly handed to him and spread out in front of him.

The tears on Yu's eyelashes were about to fall, but the fluttering red at the end of her eyes gradually spread to behind her ears.

The owner of that hand——

The girl with a pair of clear eyes like blue waves, with a hint of intimate helplessness, bent slightly and took the initiative to hold his hand.

"Really, how long do you have to wait for me?"
