Pokémon: Yunxiao

At the gate of Chenghua City, Yun Xiao, dressed in tattered clothes, attracted the attention of the crowd, and everyone at the gate was talking about Yun Xiao.

"Look, a primitive man!"

"What primitive man? This is just a little kid. How pitiful! He has to beg on the street at this age."

"I don't know if there's any infectious disease. Look how dirty he is."

"Stop talking, he's looking over here."

……

Yun Xiao looked at the crowd that was gradually moving away from him and sighed with some disappointment in his heart, but he still walked into the Pokémon shop.

wow~

Yun Xiao stood at the door, and the automatic door of the store opened automatically. The dazzling array of goods made Yun Xiao amazed. He pursed his lips, took out the Electric Stone he stole from Circle Bear, held it tightly, and then walked inside.

"welcome?"

A saleswoman who was about sixteen years old at the counter greeted the customer immediately upon seeing him coming, but her expression became a little strange when she saw Yun Xiao, whose clothes were torn and whose hair was messy.

Yun Xiao didn't care. He walked to the saleswoman's counter, raised his little hand and placed an electric stone on the counter.

"Hello, please help me exchange this Electric Stone into an Energy Cube that can be eaten by Water Pokémon."

The childish voice rang out, causing the salesgirl to be stunned for a moment, and then she picked up the Electric Stone from the counter.

"Oh, okay... okay, wait a moment. The price of the Electric Stone is 3500 Alliance Coins. Well, it can probably be exchanged for a month's supply."

After the salesperson put away the Electric Stone, he took out a large bag of water energy cubes and placed it on the counter.

"Thank you."

Yun Xiao picked up the water energy block and prepared to go out. After all, he had been isolated from the city for two years. Now, the forest might be closer to him than the city.

sigh~

At this moment, Yun Xiao, who was about to step out of the store, was stopped by the salesperson, who opened his arms to block Yun Xiao's way out.

"what happened?"

Yun Xiao looked at the salesperson with a wary look on his face and held the water energy cube tightly in his hand. He bought this with his own money.

"Little brother, where are your family members?"

The salesperson did not answer Yun Xiao's question, but instead asked his own question.

"Family? They passed away two years ago. Saleswoman, I bought this water energy cube, and I can't give it back to you."

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, then answered this with some disappointment, but he held the water energy cube even tighter.

"Ah? Sorry, I just saw that you looked like you were not even ten years old yet traveling alone so I wanted to ask you. Also, I'm not trying to steal your water energy cube~"

Hearing Yun Xiao's answer, the salesperson seemed a little sad, and she looked at Yun Xiao with some sympathy.

"It's okay, saleswoman sister, I'll leave first."

Seeing that the other party was not going to take back the energy block, Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the water energy block and was about to leave.

"No, if you go out like this, Miss Junsha will soon take you away. Besides, you are not yet ten years old, right? You cannot travel alone if you are under ten years old."

The salesgirl grabbed Yun Xiao's arm and stopped him from leaving.

"I will be ten in a month, and then I will become a real trainer."

"That's a month from now, right? Don't you know that you can't register as a trainer without an ID?"

Looking at Yun Xiao's stubborn look, the salesperson held his forehead with his hand.

"I don't know about that."

How could Yun Xiao have an ID card? Having lost his parents, his final destination could only be an orphanage, waiting for adoptive parents to take him in. As for whether he could become a trainer or something, that would all depend on the attitude of his adoptive parents.

"Right, you have nowhere to live right now, and you won't be ten in a month, so I'll be kind enough to take you in."

The salesgirl tapped Yun Xiao's forehead and smiled at him, then closed the door of the shop which was open for business.

This action made Yun Xiao quite alert, and his right hand grasped the Poké Ball containing the Magikarp.

"I'm not the kind of person who traffics children!"

The salesgirl started to laugh and scold, then she took Yun Xiao's dirty little hand and went back to her residence, which was a two-bedroom, one-living-room rental house. It was not too big but comfortable.

"How about my little house!"

The salesperson put his hands on his hips and looked quite satisfied with his own home.

"Uh……"

Yun Xiao looked at the underwear scattered around the room and the books piled up in a mess. Is this the life of a girl living alone?

"Ahahaha, I forgot to clean it up yesterday."

The salesperson stuffed the underwear in casually, stacked the books, and spoke to Yun Xiao awkwardly.

"You can live here with me before you travel. My name is Fujiwara Kei, and you can treat me as your sister from now on."

Fujiwara Hui squatted down and used her right hand to randomly ruffle Yun Xiao's hair, making the already messy hair even more messy.

"Why does the saleswoman want to help me?"

Yun Xiao tilted his head, wondering why these two people, who were not related at all, were so eager to help him.

"Call me Sister Hui, because I lost my only brother not long ago in a mudslide. He was the same age as you when he passed away."

Fujiwara Hui tapped Yun Xiao's head, and seemed a little sad when he thought of his brother who died in the mudslide.

Yun Xiao also fell silent. He deeply understood the pain of losing a loved one.

"Okay, go take a shower. I won't let you into the room when you're so dirty!"

After saying that, Fujiwara Hui pushed Yun Xiao into the bathroom, took out a set of clothes that her brother had worn before and stuffed it into Yun Xiao's hands.

Hua Hua Hua~

Soon, the sound of flushing was heard from the bathroom. Fujiwara Hui returned to the room with a sad face, holding the only photo of herself and her brother.

She is also an orphan. Her parents died one after another after giving birth to her younger brother. Since then, she and her younger brother have depended on each other. In order to raise her younger brother, she went to work in a store to earn money early on, and therefore did not have extra money to raise a Pokémon.

Unfortunately, an accident happened to her again. A mudslide froze her brother at the age of nine forever. She still remembered that when her brother was nine years old, he told her excitedly that he would become the most powerful trainer and would always protect his sister.

She believed so too, but accidents always come faster than reality.

Wow~

The bathroom door opened, and Yun Xiao put on the clothes that Fujiwara Hui gave her. Her originally messy hair was trimmed slightly by Yun Xiao, and her slightly childish face had a hint of cuteness.

"Xiao Lin?"

Looking at the figure coming out of the bathroom, Fujiwara Hui stood up in disbelief and rubbed her slightly hazy eyes. At this time, Yun Xiao's appearance was exactly the same as her brother's in the photo.

Looking at Yun Xiao's figure, Fujiwara Hui covered her mouth, tears kept falling, and then she burst into tears and quickly hugged Yun Xiao.

Looking at Fujiwara Hui who was holding him in her arms, Yun Xiao stood there in a daze. He looked at the photo in Fujiwara Hui's hand, and the little boy in the photo actually looked quite similar to himself.

So, was that why she looked a little surprised when I came in? She saw the shadow of her brother in me.

Yun Xiao did not push away Fujiwara Hui who was hugging her tightly, but let her cry. Perhaps this meeting was also arranged by fate.

After crying for a long time, as if she was tired, Fujiwara Hui fell asleep on Yun Xiao's shoulder with a smile on her lips.

Yun Xiao used all his strength to move Fujiwara Hui to the bed. After covering her with a quilt, he scratched his head helplessly as he looked at the dirty and messy house.

"It's better to clean up the room first."

Yun Xiao rolled up his sleeves and prepared to clean up this messy house.
