Pokémon that goes with the flow

The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and Bobo is constantly running back and forth between the boy and the road ahead, guiding the lost travelers in the way forward.

When Hoshino went out, he thought that he didn't know how to get to Dr. Ohki's research institute. Fortunately, Bobo knew the way, and now he was leading Hoshino to Dr. Ohki's research institute.

Hoshino walked on the path paved with yellow mud, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and jumping a little from time to time. Even if his white shoes were stained with mud, he didn't care. He was talking and laughing with bobo flying in the air. chat.

Occasionally, he looked down at the letter in his hand that he had read countless times. He still kept a smile on his face, but the crumpled corner of the paper showed Hoshino's inner unrest...

I'm sorry, Xiaoxing. Mom is suddenly in a hurry and can't go with you to see Dr. Omu. Mom has already prepared your travel supplies. After breakfast, go to Dr. Ohki's research institute and collect your favorite Pokémon and other things. Be careful when traveling.

...Hey~, don’t use the family knife to kill me...

Hoshino, who didn't want to read it anymore, carefully folded the letter and placed it in the deepest part of his backpack. By the way, the backpack and letter paper were placed on the coffee table in the living room, and I saw them as soon as I got downstairs.

"wave~"

The chirping in the sky interrupted Hoshino's thoughts. He looked up and found a courtyard not far away that was incompatible with the surrounding buildings. Through the fence of the courtyard, various instruments in the courtyard could be vaguely seen.

"Bobo~, is this Dr. Omu's research institute?"

"wave~"

Bobo in the air nodded. After seeing this, Hoshino slowed down and thought about how to talk to Dr. Ohki next without making any mistakes.

"Wa~!"

"Huh? What's wrong Bobo?"

Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Hoshino looked up at Bobo who suddenly rested on his shoulders. I saw Bobo pointing at the fence of the courtyard with his wings.

Following the direction pointed by Bobo, he found an unknown creature staring at him.

[Scorpion, the flying scorpion Pokémon. It is best at using the cloak-like membrane on its back to jump and move, and is most proud of jumping in the woods...]

"Um, is it Scorpio?"

Before Hoshino could get closer to take a closer look, Scorpio on the wall suddenly rushed towards him. Because Scorpio's back was facing the sun's rays, Hoshino couldn't see the specific appearance of Scorpio for a while.

At the same time, Bobo on the shoulder also rushed towards Scorpio.

Under Hoshino's surprised gaze, Bobo's wings suddenly glowed. As Bobo's wings rapidly flapped, a whirlwind visible to the naked eye gathered in front of it and quickly struck Scorpio.

Scorpio was unable to dodge and was shot down from the air, falling to the ground and causing a cloud of dust.

"Bobo, are you okay?! Hey, wait a minute, you can still do magic..."

He swallowed the second half of the unspoken sentence, because Hoshino suddenly remembered that Pokémon would use various magical skills, such as Pikachu using one hundred thousand volts. Such an important setting I I actually forgot about it!

"Wa~!"

Bobo nodded to Hoshino, indicating that he was fine, and then stared at the place where the black shadow fell, still fluttering his wings to stay alert.

Seeing Bobo's appearance, Hoshino also suppressed his thoughts. After all, compared to Bobo who could use skills, the Scorpio who suddenly rushed out in front of him was more eye-catching.

"Scorpion~..."

The smoke dispersed, and a strange pink creature covered in mud appeared in front of him.

It has two rounded sharp horns on its head, a membrane like bat wings is connected between its arms and body, its hands are like scorpion-like pincers, and there is a scorpion tail behind it.

"Is this...Is this Scorpio? And he seems to have fainted..."

Hoshino carefully observed the little guy who suddenly rushed out. When he saw that its eyes turned into circles like mosquito coils, he intuitively told himself that it must have fainted.

"Why does Scorpio suddenly rush towards me? Bobo, do you know it?"

Hoshino turned to look at Bobo, who was still vigilant in the air. The latter shook his head, and then fell on his shoulder, observing the Pokémon that suddenly rushed out.

"wave~"

"Don't you recognize it too? Well...why is that Scorpio rushing towards us?"

"Scorpion~..."

"Ah, Scorpio is awake."

Looking at Scorpio who woke up, Hoshino quickly took two steps back, and Bobo also launched an attack stance again.

Scorpio stood up unsteadily, shook his head, and looked at Hoshino again...and Bobo on his shoulder.

After a while, tears flashed in his eyes as big as copper bells, and then he started crying loudly.

"scorpion!!!"

Before Hoshino could react, the Scorpio had already turned around and flown into the research institute, leaving only Hoshino and Bobo blowing a cold wind in front of Dr. Ohki's door.

"Ah, why does it feel like we are bullying it..."

"wave~wave~"

Bobo lowered his head guiltily, feeling that he shouldn't have attacked it just now.

"It's okay Bobo. After all, it was the one who suddenly rushed over first. We call this self-defense."

He reached out and stroked Bobo's thick feathers, and then Hoshino discovered that there were several more objects where Scorpio had just fallen.

"Did that Scorpio drop it?"

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino picked up the items. There were six half-red and half-white balls in total and a red electronic instrument of unknown purpose.

"These should be Dr. Oak's things, right? After all, the Scorpio just came out of Dr. Oak's research institute."

These little balls always seemed familiar, so Hoshino picked up one of them and put it under the sun to observe.

I found that except for the size, it looked very similar to the Poke Ball used by Xiaozhi in the original work in my memory. After all, in the original work, this thing should be as big as a palm, not the size of a finger now.

As for the button-like thing above, Hoshino, who didn't have the habit of seeking death, naturally didn't press it. He carefully put these things into his backpack, intending to return them to Dr. Ohki later.

Ringing the doorbell at Dr. Omu's door, after a while, the sound came from the player at the door.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Omu. Where are you from? Scorpio, please stop crying first. Please tell me what happened?"

A slightly anxious middle-aged man's voice came out, and at the same time there were bursts of crying. It sounded like there was some confusion on the other side of the voice.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm a little busy here, what can I do for you?"

"Um, hello, Dr. Oak, I'm Hoshino Spirits who's here to pick up the Pokémon today."

"Hoshino Lingxing? Oh! It's Xiaoxing, come in, come in, why are you here now? We have been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door slowly opened. A white brick road went up the hillside, and at the end was Dr. Ohki's research institute.
