Pokémon that goes with the flow

In the end, the Team Rocket trio failed. As Pikachu bit a big hole in the hot air balloon that Musashi and Kojiro were riding in, they were pushed away by the air leaked from the hot air balloon and turned into monsters far away in the horizon. A shooting star.

Ding~!

"What a disgusting feeling~!"

The unwilling sound echoed in the night sky, bringing the curtain to a close on this daily emergency.

At the same time, Pikachu, who finally escaped, successfully jumped off the hot air balloon and was hugged by Xiaozhi, who was already waiting below.

"Pikachu~!"

"Pikapi~!"

Feeling the long-lost weight in his hands, Xiaozhi excitedly lifted Pikachu high and laughed happily.

Seeing this scene, Hoshino also laughed softly subconsciously. He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that there was some kind of light shining in the eyes of Pikachu and Ash when they looked at each other.

The previous gloom on his face was swept away, and all that was left was the joy of reuniting with his friends. It seems that Xiaozhi really became like that because of Pikachu...

Well~, it doesn't matter anymore, the Pikachus have been rescued anyway, and Xiaozhi has regained his energy. As long as it's okay~, it's okay~.

Xiaozhi's hearty laughter never stopped for a long time, and Pikachu responded to Xiaozhi equally positively.

At this time, Pikachu noticed his own kind looking at him not far away from the corner of his eye, and broke away from Ash's hand, and jumped to his kind with the help of Xiao Zhi's shoulder.

As soon as it approached these Pikachus, they quickly gathered around it. One of them covered his chest, as if he had made some solemn oath.

Then Xiaozhi's Pikachu stretched out its little hand, made a fist and waved it to the sky. Other Pikachu also made the same move under its leadership, celebrating the victory of defeating the foreign enemy.

Their uniform cheers were loud, and Pikachu seemed to be getting along with its companions more and more harmoniously.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh: "It's great that everyone is safe~"

"That is to say, Xiaozhi's Pikachu is also working hard~." Xiaogang nodded and agreed from the side.

All in all, this time it went through as smoothly as before. Hoshino smiled and looked at Xiaozhi on the side. He was about to say a few words to Xiaozhi, but found that there was nothing around him. When he turned around, he found that Xiaozhi was already walking towards him. Pikachu walked in the opposite direction.

The cold moonlight stretched Xiaozhi's shadow very long. He had walked very far before he knew it. His silent footsteps prevented everyone from noticing his departure for a while.

It was Hoshino's shouting that made Xiaoxia and Xiaogang notice Xiaozhi's leaving figure. No matter how they shouted, Xiaozhi had no reaction.

Seeing that Xiaozhi had returned to his previous depressed state, the three of them looked at each other and quickly followed him.

Before leaving, Hoshino looked back at Pikachu and the others, and found that Pikachu had not noticed Ash's departure, and was still laughing and chatting happily with the other Pikachus...

......

"What?! You're leaving Pikachu here!!!"

Xiaogang shouted to Xiaozhi in disbelief. In response, Xiaozhi just lowered his head and stomped out the last spark. After ensuring that the campfire was completely extinguished, he picked up his backpack and was ready to leave.

When everyone first caught up with Xiaozhi, he still didn't say anything. He kept his head lowered the whole time. The shadow from the brim of his hat made others unable to see his expression clearly. It wasn't until he walked back to the camp that he abruptly told everyone his decision. .

He wants to keep Pikachu here...

This decision surprised everyone present. After all, Pikachu can be said to be the closest Pokémon to Xiaozhi. They have been together since the beginning of the trip. Xiaozhi was also so happy when he welcomed Pikachu back. That smile without any haze was absolutely fake. How could Ash, who valued Pikachu so much, suddenly make such a decision? !

Hoshino couldn't understand Xiaozhi's thoughts for a moment. Seeing Xiaozhi in such a low mood before, he thought he was just feeling lonely because Pikachu was not around, but he didn't expect that he was actually thinking about separation from Pikachu.

Xiaoxia on the side was also in disbelief, and asked Xiaozhi in a panic: "What on earth is going on?! How could..."

"enough!"

Xiaozhi rudely interrupted Xiaoxia's words and pressed down the brim of his hat while carrying his backpack. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, his voice still inevitably trembled.

"Please stop talking, that's fine..."
