[Pokemon] Sycamore

After leaving Lampurchi, Xiaotong and Xiaokui came to Yumachi Pier. They accelerated their travel because they didn't want to stay at Lampurchi anymore, so they missed Xiaozhi and Xiaomao again. The farce-like fight also missed the opportunity to meet Dr. Omu.

"Xiaotong, what's wrong with you? You've been very anxious since you entered this small town." Xiaokui, who has the power of Changpan, is undoubtedly sensitive to the emotional changes of both Pokémon and humans. She easily I felt Xiaotong's anxiety.

"No...Actually, I don't know too well." Now that she was discovered, Xiaotong made no attempt to hide it, and her brows suddenly furrowed tightly. For some reason, this city always made her feel a sense of disobedience.

"Is it really okay?" Xiaokui said worriedly, rarely seeing Xiaotong's unwell appearance.

"Maybe it's just temporary. It'll be fine. Let's go to the Pokémon Center first..."

"Rumble──!"

A loud explosion interrupted Xiaotong's unfinished words. The two turned to look at the sea where the sound came from, and saw bursts of thick smoke mixed with sparks emerging from a ship.

"What happened?" Xiaokui didn't react for a moment.

"Don't talk about this now, it's important to save people now!" He quickly threw out the Pokmon Ball, and the huge body of Gyarados suddenly appeared on the sea. Xiaotong jumped up, and Gyarados roared, and then held it up Xiaotong rushed to the scene of the accident, "Xiaokui, don't follow me, you know!" Xiaotong warned Xiaokui without looking back.

"Hey! Xiaotong!" Looking at the figure quickly disappearing, Xiaokui muttered: "I can help too, okay? Go to the water elves and help save people!"

Jumping directly into the water after coming out of the Pokmon Ball, the water elf nodded to Xiaokui standing on the dock and immediately dived into the water.

If the size of the water elf wasn't really suitable for carrying her, Xiaokui would have followed her. Now she could only look at the burning sea and the dark figure who was rescuing people, clasping her hands together and praying worriedly. With.

......

"Thank you for saving my employee mother-in-law!"

Being in a magnificent hotel on the sea, Xiaotong and Xiaokui felt a little uncomfortable. The atmosphere of this kind of place was really incompatible with them. However, they were attracted by the boss here──that is, the luxuriously dressed and elegant person in front of them. Grandma Yin, whose face is full of wrinkles—I can’t help but give her face if I invite her over.

What happened was that since they had just saved the staff employed by Grandma Yin’s hotel, they invited them here specifically to thank them for their help.

"...The most important thing is that people are fine." Xiaotong couldn't stand Granny Yin's dress and the handsome men around her who were waiting for her like cowherds.

"Yes, yes, if nothing happens, we will leave first." Apparently Xiaokui had the same idea.

"No, no, no! How can we leave like this? You have done us a big favor, mother-in-law. Let's do this. I'll show you the future mother-in-law of a top luxury hotel." Without saying a word, he decided to wait for the itinerary. , Xiaotong and the others had no choice but to follow Granny Yin and their men who were leading the way.

Arriving at a suite that was obviously located below the sea level, Grandma Yin proudly introduced, "How about it? This is an undersea view suite. You can see the most beautiful coral reefs in this area. This will be our key promotion and selling point in the future! Yes. Isn’t that great, mother-in-law?”

Seeing this, Xiaotong's frown deepened, not just because of Granny Yin's ugly and hoarse voice, but...

"Aren't you destroying the ecology of this sea area?" Xiaokui said it before Xiaotong, looking even more angry than Xiaotong.

"What mother-in-law? Ecological things can't help me make money, no matter what, mother-in-law, I want to develop this place into a famous tourist attraction beyond Rampurchi, and then grab all the customers from my cousin. , all those who dare to hinder me from making money are enemies! Just like those annoying onyx jellyfish grannies!" Granny Yin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her actions at all.

"You mean agate jellyfish?" Xiaotong heard a word that was quite sensitive to the two of them, and Xiaotong immediately interrupted Granny Yin and continued to talk nonsense.

Sure enough, before the matter was over, Xiaotong knew that it was no accident that agate jellyfish would attack humans for no reason.

"Yes, mother-in-law, those disgusting creatures." After hearing this, both Xiaotong and Xiaokui showed disapproval. Xiaokui even had a little disgust, even though the agate jellyfish had caused discomfort to them just a few days ago. It's a small trouble, but as a Pokémon trainer, the first thing you have to do is to maintain an equal attitude towards any Pokémon, especially now that you know what seems to be a hidden secret.

"Coral reefs...this sea area..." Looking out from the glass window, Xiaotong observed the distribution of these coral reefs and the nearby sea currents, combined with the knowledge about the areas where Pokémon live described in the book, "You guys Occupying the home of the agate jellyfish!? No wonder..." I finally knew the reason. It seemed that it was really not the fault of the agate jellyfish group. She and Xiaokui were just innocently involved.

The waveguide continues to spread outward regardless of the obstruction of the glass, and Xiaotong also discovers an astonishing reality...

"Xiaotong, what do you mean!?" Far less calm than Xiaotong, Xiaokui couldn't help but angrily scolded Granny Yin after understanding the whole story: "Hey! You guys are going too far!"

"Why are you angry, little girl?" The difference in concepts is too huge, or maybe Granny Yin only thinks about herself. She cannot understand Xiaokui's anger at all, and even made such a suggestion: "By the way ! You are Pokémon trainers, right? If you help me get rid of these agate jellyfish, how about I give you 100 million?"

"No, please forgive us for the loss." Not wanting to communicate with people like Granny Yin anymore, Xiaotong took the angry Xiaokui and walked out of the hotel without looking back. She called out without even saying hello to the staff. He picked up the Gyarados and left in the direction of the town.

"Someone gives money and then pushes it out. There are still such brats in this era." Granny Yin said disdainfully, and then ignored Xiaotong and the others, preparing to continue her big project.

......

"Xiaotong! Are we just going to ignore them?"

Walking on the street, Xiaokui really couldn't let go of this matter. Is it really okay to leave that kind of person alone?

"Otherwise, what else do you want to do?" Xiaotong asked back uncharacteristically coldly.

Facing Xiaotong's indifferent answer, Xiaokui choked for a moment, and then said in an even more excited tone: "Can't we do something? Just let them destroy the home of the agate jellyfish! Huh?" She really didn't want to I can't believe that Xiaotong doesn't intend to help the agate jellyfish regain their homeland.

"Xiao Kui, you have to know..." Xiao Tong paused strangely, and then continued: "That is almost the power of an entire consortium, and even such a project must be more or less approved by the residents or the management. Only then did we start construction. We two little trainers couldn't do much. Besides, I have never been an enthusiastic person. In fact, my personality can be said to be retributive. If others respect me, I will respect them. Yi Zhang, on the contrary, for the agate jellyfish that hurt us for no reason, no matter what their difficulties are, it would be good if I don’t take the initiative to trouble them, you know!”

It was rare to speak in a stern tone. As soon as Xiaotong finished speaking, Xiaokui was greeted by Xiaokui who looked at her with an unbelievable expression, as if he really knew her at this moment.

Xiaokui immediately turned around and ran away. Xiaokui's mind was in a mess now, and she desperately wanted to calm down her thoughts. Xiaotong was left standing alone on the street, suffering from the whispers of the people around her.

Lowering his head, Xiaotong's expression was obscured by a long shadow. At this moment, with a "pop!", a Pokmon ball opened on his waist, and Riolu appeared in the small room in the next second. Tong's feet.

"Lu~" Holding Xiaotong's calf, Riolu whimpered after rubbing it. It could receive the waveguide emitted by Xiaotong and could deeply understand the bad mood Xiaotong was suppressing. I just hope that I can give my trainer a warm comfort at this time.

Bending down and picking up Riolu, Xiaotong buried her face in Riolu's soft hair. Xiaotong still said nothing, but just took a step and left this noisy street.
