Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

PS: Don’t read this chapter yet, if you haven’t finished it, I will add the unfinished part to the end of this chapter tomorrow morning

------------

Haha... What a disaster...."

After finally finishing the recording of the song, I didn't expect that the time had already come to nine o'clock in the evening without knowing it.

Originally, Xiaoguang thought that the recording of the song should be very fast...

No, normally speaking, it is indeed quite fast, but after all, it was the first time for her and Xiaozhi to come into contact with this song, so it took a lot of effort from learning to being able to sing it fluently.

This also directly led to the extension of the recording time of their songs until midnight.

"It's been really hard for everyone today! But don't worry! I dare use my directing career to guarantee that whether it is a program, a song or a publication, it will definitely be a hit!"

"Hope there's no fire..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"No! Nothing! Please don't mind!"

Xiaoguang, who was muttering, realized that his words were almost heard, so he immediately apologized.

But even though she said so, after all, she participated in the recording of the program from beginning to end, and if she only got a calm ending in the end, she would still feel unwilling.

"Is that so? Haha~ Forget it! In short, the two of you are just waiting for the day when you will become popular in Sinnoh! If we have some ideas for special programs on our side in the future, please ask the two of you! This is mine. Please accept the business card!"

As the director said so, he took out three business cards from his pocket and handed them to several people respectively.

Although Xiaogang did not directly participate in the recording of the program, the director did not ignore Xiaogang either. As he said before, he values ​​the emotion of the work, so he also understands the importance of traveling companions.

If he has been only paying attention to Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang, but neglecting their two companions, even if he doesn't say anything on the surface, there will inevitably be a little estrangement in their hearts.

"Ah~ By the way, although I don't know if you are interested, but I heard that recently..."

"Ok?"

When the director and Xiaoguang were talking about something, Xiaozhi, who was still concentrating, suddenly noticed a shadow flashing past the corner in the distance.

That is......

Xiaozhi frowned, as if he had noticed something, so he raised his hand and said:

"Ah~ I'm sorry, I suddenly want to go to the toilet. I'll go back to the Pokémon Center and wait for you."

"Huh?! No—"

Xiaoguang originally wanted to say something, but seeing Xiaozhi running away with Pikachu, she tilted her head and murmured:

"But... the direction of the Pokémon Center is that way? And if you want to go to the toilet, there is no need to run back to the Pokémon Center, right?"

Suspicious, too suspicious.

Seeing Xiaoguang's suspicious look, the corners of Xiaogang's mouth also became stiff, then he took two steps back, stood behind Xiaoguang and waved to the director, the director immediately understood Xiaogang's intention. Meaning, say this:

"Maybe Mr. Xiaozhi wants to go to the dessert shop over there to buy puffs!"

"Puffs? Dessert shop?"

Although Xiaozhi's style is indeed there, but to buy desserts so late?

"Ah~ um... Because Mr. Xiaozhi asked me about the dessert shop when we were recording, he seemed to want to buy puffs there, and even confirmed with me specifically for that. When the store closes~"

"Eh...is that so..."

It was early nine o'clock, and it was indeed the time when normal dessert shops were about to close.

Is it true that as the director said, Xiaozhi was rushing to buy puffs, so he lied and left first in order not to disappoint the director?

"Oh~ Forget it, let's talk later when we get back~"

Anyway, it's located in the city center, so nothing should happen. I'm afraid I really guessed too much.

Xiaoguang comforted himself in his heart.

Then he looked at the director and continued the previous topic: "That's right! I haven't finished my previous words! Let me think about it... well, actually, I wanted to ask, are you interested in participating in the fashion conference~ the original fashion conference It was meant to be held today, but for some reason it seems to have been pushed to tomorrow."

"Fashion convention?"

Although he didn't have any concept yet, Xiaoguang already had a little interest in his heart when he heard the name of this competition.

"I don't know much about the specifics. After all, I don't usually pay much attention to this field, but I heard that this time there will be heavyweights coming to the scene to serve as judges, so if you are interested, Miss Xiaoguang, you can take this opportunity to participate. "

After speaking, the director took out two posters from his pocket. One poster was printed with relevant notices of the fashion conference, while the other was printed with...

"this is……"

Xiaoguang blinked, and looked curiously at the poster behind.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang also leaned forward to take a look.

"Pokémon Summer Lecture?"

The two read out the title of the event printed on the second poster in unison.

"Yes, it seems that Dr. Yamanashi plans to hold a Pokémon summer lecture at Tianguan Mountain in a few days. Anyway, the few of you are already in Yuanzhi City. If you are interested, you should be able to catch up if you start from the day after tomorrow. Yes, and since Miss Xiaoguang is an official trainer recognized by the alliance, she should also know Dr. Yamanashi, right?"

"Well... I do know you are right."

Xiaoguang looked at the second poster in a daze.

She didn't expect that they just came here to record a program, and they would encounter two activities in a row that she was very interested in.

If it was just a general summer lecture, she would not be interested in participating, but the poster said that this summer lecture hosted by Dr. Yamanashi will have very rich and special content. Since everyone is here, it would be a shame if you don’t attend it. What a pity, isn't it?

Xiaoguang thought so.

"We'll think about it, thank you."

"No, no, this time it should be me thanking everyone."

After some simple business exchanging, Xiaoguang and Xiaogang said goodbye to the director, and walked towards the Pokémon Center one after another.

At this time, Xiaozhi and Pikachu on the other side.

"Pickup! Pickup!"

Pikachu, who was standing on Xiaozhi's shoulder and had been running with him, finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and began to ask what happened.

Xiaozhi didn't use the power of waveguide, but he also understood what Pikachu was thinking now.

"It's nothing, I just seem to see the figure of an acquaintance."

As Xiaozhi said this, he stopped and began to gather the power of the waveguide to explore the surroundings.

If I remember correctly, it should be here...

The power of waveguide continued to spread towards the side of the city. When Xiaozhi's detection ability was about to reach the limit, waveguide finally had a feedback.

"Let's go, Pikachu."

"Skin?!"

Unable to get the answer from Xiaozhi, Pikachu could only continue to be led to run in a certain direction as before.

……

In Yuanzhi City, in front of a huge warehouse at the corner of the central city, a black figure stopped and stopped at the door.

"Is it here?"

His figure was covered by the cloak, and his tone was a little immature and mature. He walked slowly towards the warehouse door.

But at this moment, he suddenly stopped again, glanced sharply at the corner behind him, and then took out a Pokémon ball from his pocket to aim it there.

"Who?"

He asked in a bad tone.

"..."

Moonlight peeked through the clouds, illuminating the dark open space in front of the warehouse.

Whether it was the face hidden under the cloak worn by the black shadow, or the figure called out by him, they all appeared in front of each other without reservation.

"Eh?"

The black shadow whose attitude was cold and sharp at first suddenly froze.

He looked at the sneering familiar figure a few meters in front of him, and couldn't help but say:

"Xiaozhi? Why are you here?"
