Pokémon: Starting with a God-level Pikachu

The Foothill Gym is built on the side of a mountain, so the lighting facilities nearby are not very complete.

Although there is a brightly lit station across the road, the Sanluo Gym is on this side of the road.

But since there were no street lights, the wide road was pitch black.

Although it is not pitch dark, there is indeed a feeling of being shrouded in darkness.

Su Bai was walking behind Ren Xiaoyi and saw that just as she was about to take a step, she hesitated and stepped back.

It seemed that the dark road that could be crossed in just a few steps was a bottomless abyss of horror in Ren Xiaoyi's eyes.

The light was behind Ren Xiaoyi's head, and Ren Xiaoyi's shadow extended forward and disappeared into the shadow in front.

"I didn't expect that as a user of Ghost-type Pokémon, you're afraid of the dark?"

Su Bai walked to Ren Xiaoyi's side.

"Do you need my help?"

"No, thank you."

Ren Xiaoyi lowered her head and rejected Su Bai's kindness.

Immediately afterwards, Su Bai saw Ren Xiaoyi's shadow actually swaying back, forming the shape of a hand, grabbing Ren Xiaoyi's legs and pulling her forward.

This scene made Su Bai shudder.

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!"

"No, no."

Ren Xiaoyi hurriedly tried to stop him, and her eyes were clear, not like she was controlled by any force.

Su Bai waved his hand, and the Pikachu lying on Su Bai's shoulder stopped attacking.

"Are you sure you don't need help?"

"Yes, the kid just wants me to be brave."

Ren Xiaoyi looked at the "ghost hand" on the ground and forced a smile helplessly.

The ghost hand trembled slightly and turned back into the shape of a shadow.

That looks like...shy?

"This child is very kind to me. It won't hurt me and it's always protecting me."

Ren Xiaoyi looked at the shadow on the ground, and finally squatted down with her knees hugged sadly, crying.

"I'm sorry, I'm too weak and timid, and I'm always stuck in fear and unable to get out of it."

Su Bai looked at Ren Xiaoyi's expression and felt helpless. He could only communicate with Gengar in his heart.

"Old ghost?"

Hehehe (This girl is right. Although the thing in the shadow was indeed hypnotizing her, I didn’t sense any malicious intent from beginning to end)

Just when Su Bai wanted to say something, two men and one woman ran out of the station, looking around anxiously.

"There it is!"

The girl saw Ren Xiaoyi first, and then the three of them ran over immediately.

These three people were all wearing the school uniforms of Shanghai University, and they should be Ren Xiaoyi's teammates.

"Are you okay? Are you okay, sister?"

"Yes, sister, why are you out so late at night? Everyone is worried."

"Sister, why are you crying? Did this guy bully you?"

After one of the boys finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Su Bai with an angry look.

"Did you bully our little sister?"

"I didn't bully her. Which eye of yours saw me bullying her?"

Su Bai really wanted to scold that boy, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Remember your face, and beat him harder in the next game.

"Brother Zhou Yong, no, he just wanted to help me cross the road, but I felt that I was too weak, so..."

Ren Xiaoyi quickly and gently grabbed the corner of the clothes of the boy named Zhou Yong to stop his behavior.

Zhou Yong scratched his head when he heard what Ren Xiaoyi said.

"Is that so? I misunderstood. I'm so sorry, brother. Ren Xiaoyi is our sister. We can't bear to see her cry. I'm just being sentimental."

Su Bai did not respond, but continued to ask in his heart.

"Old ghost, tell me."

Hehehe (Don’t worry, these three people are not controlled, and the man is not sick, they all sincerely care about this little girl)

Su Bai nodded after hearing this.

"It's okay. Since you guys are here to pick her up, I'll go back first."

"Please wait a moment."

The girl who hugged Ren Xiaoyi at the beginning called Su Bai.

"You are the talented freshman at J University, Su Bai, right?"

"I can't call myself a genius, it's all thanks to Pokémon."

Hearing Su Bai's words, the girl nodded.

"Thank you very much for taking care of our little sister. I apologize to you again for the recklessness of our team member Zhou Yong. I would like to ask, will you still be the starting player in the finals?"

"Why? You want to cheer me up?"

"It's just collecting your data, but I'm willing to cheer you on."

The girl licked her lips, and while still hugging Ren Xiaoyi, she slightly twisted her body and gave Su Bai a seductive look.

The two boys turned their heads quickly.

"Thank you, but I have a fiancée."

Su Bai turned around and left, but before leaving he glanced at Ren Xiaoyi.

“You have great teammates.”

"Thank you. Be careful on the road."

After Ren Xiaoyi finished speaking, Su Bai waved and walked into the subway station.

Looking at Su Bai's back, the two boys smiled at each other.

"Deputy Captain, your honey trap has failed."

"Tsk, if you two don't talk, no one will think you're dumb! Take my little sister back to the hotel!"

The girl glared at the two boys and walked towards the subway station with Ren Xiaoyi.

With his teammates by his side, Ren Xiaoyi was not so scared anymore and dared to stride into the dark place.

On the subway on the way back, Su Bai hugged Pikachu and couldn't help but think about what had just happened.

I didn’t expect that Ren Xiaoyi is the darling of the Shanghai University team.

The atmosphere and overall quality of the Magic City school team...

To be honest, it's better than J at the moment.

Of course, family members know their own business, and maybe they just act harmonious in front of Su Bai, an outsider.

But Ren Xiaoyi is indeed interesting.

Since there were people around, Su Bai pretended to put on headphones and make a phone call.

"Old Ghost, you said that the shadow had no ill will towards Ren Xiaoyi?"

Hehehe (yes)

"Tsk...do you think this is possible?"

Su Bai guessed that what Ren Xiaoyi was afraid of was not his own shadow, nor the darkness.

But there is no light in the dark place, so Ren Xiaoyi cannot see his own shadow.

Just as Ren Xiaoyi said, the Pokémon in the shadow has been protecting Ren Xiaoyi. After Ren Xiaoyi entered the darkness, he could not see his own shadow, and subconsciously thought that the Pokémon had left him.

That's why she was afraid and didn't dare to go to places without light.

Gengar said that it is not impossible.

Hehehe (But what does it have to do with you?)

"Well, you have a point. It has nothing to do with me, but old ghost, I think you are becoming more and more useful now."

Hehehe (Why don’t you treat me to some Coke from a glass bottle?)

As soon as Su Bai came out of the subway station, he exchanged for a bottle of ice cola, found a deserted place, and poured it into his own shadow.

After comforting the old ghost, Su Bai came to the supermarket near the hotel.

In addition to eating local snacks when traveling, Su Bai also has a habit, especially when staying in a hotel for several consecutive days.

That is to go to the supermarket closest to the hotel and buy enough snacks and drinks for several days.

Just as Su Bai was pushing the shopping cart around in the supermarket, the phone rang.

"Hello, Sirona?"

"You should have called me when you made it to the finals."
