Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 2 Visitors and Aboriginal People
Ten minutes later, the three mud monkeys were cleaned and lined up in a row from tallest to shortest by the wall of the living room. On the sofa directly opposite, there was a middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa holding a rolled-up newspaper.

"Tell me, how many times this month."

"Seventh. No, sixth time. Pay attention next time. Pay attention next time!"

"What's the date today?"

"."

"Eight days have passed in a month, six days have come back like this, and two days have left you to take care of the fruit. This is it."

"Wrong! Change it!" The young man answered quickly, fully carrying forward the fine tradition of sincerely admitting mistakes and never changing his mind.

"Go!"

"Ugh!"

The two Pokémon quickly followed suit.

My mother felt quite helpless when she saw the familiar scene. She picked up the newspaper and tapped one person on the head:
"It won't be the same next time. From now on at noon, you will wash your clothes and mop the floor by yourself."

Then he loosened the newspaper roll and placed it in Lai's hand:

"This is today's newspaper. You are quite concerned about this at a young age."

This is how I passed the test. It was surprisingly easy. I wonder if something good happened today.Len thought.

Seeing his mother return to the kitchen and continue preparing lunch, Len sat on the sofa, picked up the newspaper and turned on the TV.

"News break: A Tyrannosaurus attacked the research institute in Manjin City, Johto Region. According to reports from the front, the attacking Pokémon was defeated by the alternate gym leader Chisato and then fled to the research institute, causing heavy losses. The Johto Region Alliance is confronting The matter will be investigated, and the results of the investigation and handling will be announced to the public."

Thousands of miles away, that's what happened to Ruby.One thing after another, the gears of the times are turning.Thinking like this, the boy put down the newspaper, walked upstairs, and returned to his room.

On the desktop, there is a small section title in the lower right corner of the newspaper: "Dr. Odamaki went to the Johto area for exchange and study, and cross-regional illustrated technology may usher in a breakthrough."

Later, my mother walked out with lunch, saw the empty living room and newspapers scattered on the table, and shouted to the upstairs:

"Come down for dinner! I don't know how to clear the table."

······
In Rai's room, the boy took off his bathrobe and was facing the mirror to change into clothes for going out later.

The person in the mirror has an average face, and his facial features can be described as straight, but not outstanding. His rare feature is his eyes that are particularly bright against his skin color.

The shirtless upper body is obviously darker than that of urban residents. The medium figure and streamlined muscles do not show too much strength, but they seem to hide a small, far from mature, but already mature figure. The beast with its first fangs.

Under the shorts, there are quite powerful calves. Running on the gravel beach gave him tough and strong lower limbs.

"Twelve years have passed, everything in the past is so blurry, and everything in front of me is so clear."

Len muttered.

A classic and traditional time travel, a soul that is not outstanding, but at most somewhat tough, crosses time and space by chance, invests itself in the body of a gestating fetus, and merges with another ignorant, even blank soul. , made him what he is today.

The memories belonging to the previous life have become blurred, and I can only remember who I was by name, and most of the other experiences have been forgotten. What remains are only the knowledge and concepts related to this world that I have repeatedly thought about and conceived for more than ten years.

Logically speaking, Lai, whose memory and reflexes are far superior to ordinary people, should not be forgotten so completely.

The human brain is like a library, and all kinds of memories are like the books in it.We can make a catalog for the collection of books, but the administrator of this library obviously cannot use manpower to deal with such a large collection of books, so a considerable part of them are sealed in areas.

Perhaps it is the soul of the blank sheet of paper that is at work, or perhaps this fused individual is consciously shaping the self that belongs to the present rather than the past. Lai, who has decades of "extra" life experience, seems to be consciously or unconsciously "Reject" that part of the past and lock it into an area that cannot be "recorded".Now, this process has been completed, and Lai, who is here, is a resident of Pal Island in the southeast sea of ​​Wudou Town, a young man who grew up in a wealthy but not wealthy life.

Perhaps the biggest difference between him and others is the looming white frame and text in his eyes at this moment:
Pokémon name: Waterleapfish

Sex: male

Height: 0.49m
Weight: XNUM X kg
Personality: Stubborn

Ability: Torrent

Energy Level: 24
Skills mastered: Crash, scream, mud throw, water gun, life-threatening collision, hold, rock seal, burrowing, rock crushing, rockfall, water wave, bodybuilding (undeveloped, cannot be developed), arm hammer (undeveloped, cannot be developed) )
Physical condition: Head (slight injury, recovering), upper limbs (energy accumulated slightly, needs to be released, lower limbs (mild fatigue, needs massage to recover), trunk (slight injury, recovering)

Energy status: Mild hunger (needs to replenish energy)

This interface requires breath holding and a high degree of concentration to appear, and only he can see it.

At first, Lai thought this was a standard cheat for the "Traveler", and he also imagined various functions such as adding points, optimizing, and drawing draws. However, during long-term experiments, he finally discovered that maybe this was indeed a cheat, but it was particularly special. It's simple, not only can't change anything, but it can only analyze the physical objects that exist in front of you, but it can't do anything about what exists on TV or newspapers. It's even difficult to investigate in detail the Pokémon you don't have much contact with, especially in terms of skill mastery.

At the same time, during use, Lai found that this kind of insight was quite energy-consuming. If he was not careful, his eyes would be sore and his mind would be dizzy.

However, despite so many limitations, it still became a good assistant to Rai during long-term training.

"Come down for dinner! I don't know how to clear the table."

"Come right away, I'll take care of it."

Hearing his mother's voice, Lai shook his head gently, gathered his thoughts, got dressed and prepared to go downstairs. The long-winged gull had already opened the door and ran downstairs by itself, while the water-leap fish easily climbed onto Lai's shoulder and pressed its forelimb against Lai's. On his shoulders, his body was slightly suspended in the air, and he gently rubbed Lai's cheek with the fin above his head.

An emotional signal reached Lai's mind. Its content was not clear, but it revealed obvious understanding and concern.

The midday sun gently shines into the room through the windows, bringing brightness and warmth.

Levi turned his head slightly, looked at his partner, picked up a square box on the machine on his right, walked out of the room slowly, and closed the door.

Downstairs, the long-winged gull was already standing on a special high stool prepared for it, and a magic wall puppet was sitting on the seat next to it.

"Bali!" It waved its hand and said hello.

"Good afternoon, Magic Wall Doll, lunch looks great, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Lai opened the box in his hand. Inside was the energy cube he had just made last night:
"Made from newly harvested tree fruits, the upper layer is sweet and the lower layer is sour."

There was a slight noise outside the window. It was a large-billed gull tapping, signaling that it was meal time.

Set up the Pokémon in the courtyard and sit down to eat.

"The training of the water jumping fish in the morning is very effective, and the endurance has improved."

"The long-winged gull went to get Uncle Kari's fish again. I'll go and settle the bill in the afternoon."

"I plan to go to the beach this afternoon to train with the brave man from the police force. The water jumping fish likes to spar with his crayfish, and the long-winged gull can also practice with the water gun."

At the dinner table, Lai talked about his plans and ideas. His mother, Haruko, listened quietly and added a sentence or two from time to time. Time passed quietly in the harmonious lunch.

After lunch, Lai took out a few tree fruits and a new square box and put them into his backpack. The long-winged gull took the lead, and the water leaping fish walked slowly beside him, walking towards the beach in the afternoon sunshine and the not so refreshing autumn sea breeze. .
