Pokémon that goes with the flow

"Huh? A nasty Pokémon trainer?!" Ash stood up in disbelief.

It was hard to imagine that the three children in front of them would say these words, but the disgust in their eyes did not seem to be fake. This disgust towards the Pokémon trainer was all genuine.

Is it because Xiaozhi just commanded Pikachu to attack them?

...No, no, that's not it.

Hoshino could probably feel that this hateful attitude did not seem to be caused by Xiaozhi just commanding Pikachu to attack them. It was more like an emotion that had been entrenched in their hearts for a long time.

This emotion is not just directed at Pokémon trainers, but also has the same hostility towards Pokémon, or even worse.

It was especially obvious when their eyes fell on Scorpio and Pikachu. Thinking about it now, the woman just ran away when she saw her group, maybe it was because of the Pokémon around her...

Based on the current situation, Hoshino has some guesses about the situation in this place. The residents living in this dark city may not be very welcoming to Pokémon and Pokémon trainers. The specific reasons are not yet known, and what culture it may be. Customs or something? ......I guess so......

...In short...it's better to get out of here now...

Thinking of this, Hoshino felt that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time. The best choice was to leave early to avoid complications. Just when he was about to express this idea to Xiaozhi and the others, the quarrel between Xiaozhi and the children could be heard in his ears.

"No matter what! As long as it's related to Pokémon, no matter what it is, I hate it!" The leading child glared at Xiaozhi, waving a thin wooden stick picked up from the roadside in his hand.

Judging from the way Xiaozhi covered his head, it seemed that his head had been hit with a stick, but even so, Xiaozhi still stood stubbornly in front of the child and asked him to explain clearly what was wrong with the Pokémon.

Seeing this scene, Hoshino couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

...Compared to being injured for no reason, did you actually take the lead in protecting the image of Pokémon...

...Hey, he really deserves to be Xiaozhi...

Hoshino walked forward helplessly, intending to go forward and persuade Xiaozhi. After all, after traveling with him for so long, Hoshino also knew that as long as there were issues related to Pokémon, Xiaozhi would be as stubborn as a Kentaro. , I can’t even pull it back.

But the current situation obviously no longer allows Xiaozhi to slowly argue with the children here. They are in a strange place, and the residents here don't seem to welcome them as Pokémon trainers, so they leave now. That's the most important thing. There's no need to waste time talking to a few kids here.

Just when Hoshino had put on a smile and was about to fool the child with a few words and then pull Xiaozhi away, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in front of him.

Hoshino looked up and saw a middle-aged man in an apron running over breathlessly. As soon as they met, he held down the head of the child who had made the loudest noise and asked him to bend down and apologize with him.

"I'm really sorry! My child caused you trouble!"

The middle-aged man's tone and attitude were quite sincere, as if he was afraid of making Hoshino and others unhappy, but in this way, Hoshino didn't know what to do.

After all, this is a small matter that is not a big deal. Even if he doesn't come, Hoshino and the others will leave soon.

But now that he had intervened and made the situation so solemn, Hoshino couldn't easily fool him, so he had to wave his hands repeatedly and respond politely in a cold sweat.

"Ah, it's okay. It's normal for children to be naughty. It's not a big deal..."

Hoshino laughed twice and subconsciously glanced at the three children. As a result, he met the vicious eyes of those children. Even though he was being suppressed by his own father, his attitude was quite bad. It seemed that he was completely He didn't look like he was reflecting.

Probably because his children's behavior was too obvious, the middle-aged man seemed to have noticed this situation, and quickly protected the children behind him. He looked at Hoshino and others and laughed awkwardly, "Hahahaha... Yes. Come on! Why don't you come to my shop and take a rest? I'm currently running a restaurant, so let me treat you to a meal and express my apology!"

After saying that, he smiled apologetically at Hoshino and the others, and pointed to an open shop not far ahead, where the middle-aged man had just opened the shop door and ran out.

Facing the middle-aged man's solemn invitation, Hoshino couldn't make up his mind. After all, the man's attitude was very sincere. Rejecting hastily might seem impolite. Moreover, he invited everyone, so he couldn't refuse them all, so he had to turn his head and look at He asked Xiaozhi and others who were standing behind him to seek their opinions...
