How can I be a trainer when my girlfriend is so cute?

"Time and space distortion?" This word was like a key, instantly opening the door to Fang Ci's deep memory. His pupils suddenly dilated, as if he was attracted by a strong force, and his thoughts were flying.

"You are right," Lei He's voice was low and firm, as if it carried some kind of magic. "So I speculate that the reason why the bodies of my brothers and their friends could not be found was not because of the car accident. Instead, they might have been taken to another time and space because of the mysterious space-time distortion phenomenon."

This bold guess might be just a fantasy to most people. However, to Fang Ci and Qi Shu, it was like a beam of light in the dark night. They looked at each other and saw the same light in each other's eyes - the light of hope, rekindled and shining.

After all, the two of them had personally experienced the marvelous phenomenon of time and space distortion, and had traveled back to the Xicui area a hundred years ago, where they had formed a deep friendship with Ami. That experience was as unreal as a dream, yet so real. It made them believe that there were still many unknown secrets in this world waiting for them to explore.

Over the years, the death of his parents has always been the most untouchable pain in Fang Ci's heart. Whenever night falls, the scene of that day in his dream would haunt him like a curse, keeping him awake at night. However, after falling in love with Qi Shu, the heart-piercing pain was gradually diluted by the sweetness of love, as if the warm sunshine sprinkled on his heart and dispelled the haze.

However, after hearing Lei He's bold guess, Fang Ci's hope was rekindled. He widened his eyes, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind. Perhaps, as Lei He said, his parents were not dead, but were brought to another unknown time and space by the distortion of time and space? This thought was like a flash of lightning that cut through the darkness, giving Fang Ci unprecedented hope.

He held Qishu's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes. No matter how many unknowns and difficulties there are ahead, they must pursue this possibility and uncover the secrets behind the distortion of time and space. Because for Fang Ci, the mystery of his parents' life and death is his eternal concern and the driving force for him to move forward.

Although Lei He's guess was bold, it gave Fang Ci a new direction. In an instant, Fang Ci and Qi Shu made up their minds to explore this possibility no matter what, to find another time and space that might exist, to pursue the relatives who might still be alive. Because in this world, nothing is more precious than family affection, and nothing is more powerful than hope.

"Aunt Xiaohe, you're right. Mom and Dad are probably not dead!"

Seeing Fang Ci accept her guess so easily, Lei He was delighted but also had a hint of worry. Her guess was just a vague and rootless duckweed after all. She had traveled all over the world over the years to find out the truth about the time-space distortion, but in the end she still found nothing. On the day when her senior brother disappeared, the time-space distortion seemed to have disappeared with them and had never been observed by anyone since.

She was afraid that the hope that Fang Ci had ignited because of her speculation would eventually turn into an arrow of even greater disappointment, thus pushing Fang Ci into the abyss of despair.

It is not scary to have no hope. What is scary is that you have hope but watch this slim hope shatter before your eyes like bubbles in the sun.

"Aunt Xiaohe~" The thoughtful Qi Shu noticed Leihe's worry. She gently held Leihe's hand and said softly, "In fact, Fang Ci and I have really experienced time and space distortion. We were once brought back to the Xicui area nearly two hundred years ago by a mysterious light."

Hearing Qishu's words, Leihe's eyes lit up instantly, as if she saw unprecedented hope. She rushed to Qishu as if she had discovered a precious treasure, tightly grasped her thin shoulders, and asked excitedly: "Really? Did you really experience time and space distortion? Then... did you see anything? Or did you feel any special signs?"

Qishu was a little embarrassed by Leihe's enthusiasm, but she still tried to recall the scene at that time, starting from the encounter with Snorlax in the warehouse at night, she recounted her and Fang Ci's experience in the Sinnoh region. She described that ancient and mysterious world, how they met Ami, and how they gradually became familiar with that ancient and desolate world from Ami's description.

Lei He was fascinated by what she heard, and endless hope surged in her heart. If Qi Shu and Fang Ci really experienced the distortion of time and space, then the disappearance of their senior brothers might really be related to the distortion of time and space. This idea made her very excited, as if she had seen the day when the mystery would be solved.

She held Qishu's hand tightly, with a determined light in her eyes. She decided that no matter how many difficulties and unknowns there were ahead, she would go with Qishu and Fangci to find the possible time and space and uncover the truth about the disappearance of her senior brothers. Because for her, the safety of her senior brothers was her biggest concern and the driving force for her to move forward.

"You mean, you can travel through time and space because of the mysterious light on Snorlax that is not under its control, and this light has not appeared since you left the Sinnoh region, right?" After her excitement subsided a little, Leihe asked about some details in Qishu's story. It was related to her most beloved senior brother and sister-in-law, and every detail was crucial to her.

"That's right, so I suspect that Snorlax's ability to travel through time and space can only be stimulated in the Sinnoh region." After hearing Leihe's question, Fang Ci answered first.

"Can it only be triggered in the Sinnoh region? But in addition to the Sinnoh region, the phenomenon of time and space distortion has also been observed in the Unova region and the Kalos region. Is there any difference between the time and space distortion in these two regions and that in the Sinnoh region?" Upon hearing this, Rehe fell into deep thought.

Now they still know too little about the distortion of time and space. Fang Ci's father's research had just made some progress but it was no longer heard because of the disappearance of others. It seems that there is still a long way to go to figure out the rules behind it, but there is no doubt that Fang Ci's Snorlax may be a major breakthrough in revealing the truth about the distortion of time and space.

"Xiao Ci, can you please let me keep your Snorlax here so I can study it for a while?"

"Of course!" Fang Ci was planning to do so even if Lei He didn't say it.

With a flash of red light, Snorlax's huge body instantly filled the few remaining spaces in the laboratory.

"Snorlax, Aunt Xiaohe needs your help with some research, so could you please stay with Aunt Xiaohe for a while?" Looking at Snorlax who was suddenly summoned and opened his sleepy eyes, Fang Ci told it all of Leihe's guesses and his own request.

When he heard that it was about Fang Ci's parents, Snorlax nodded without hesitation.

"Thank you, Snorlax!" After Snorlax nodded, Fang Ci put it back into the Poké Ball again. After all, its large body would take up too much space in the narrow laboratory.

"Is this the legendary boss Pokémon? It's so huge!" When Rehe saw Snorlax for the first time, her eyes were full of amazement.

"Aunt Xiaohe, I'll leave Snorlax to your care for the time being!"

When Fang Ci handed Snorlax's Poké Ball to Leihe, he actually felt a strong reluctance in his heart. After all, he had never been separated from Snorlax since he met it. Over the years, he had already developed a strong dependence on this steady figure who would always stand in front of him when something happened.

"Don't worry, I won't give Snorlax less food even if I starve." Seeing Fang Ci's reluctance, Lei He took the Poké Ball and said jokingly.

"Yeah!" Fang Ci dispelled the inexplicable emotions in his heart and nodded heavily towards Lei He.

"But now I am still making amends for my crime, so the research on time and space distortion can only be carried out after the research on the four disasters. But don't worry, if my brothers are really involved in the time and space distortion, I will personally uncover the truth of the time and space distortion and bring them back!" When she said this, a blazing flame seemed to ignite in Lei He's usually lifeless eyes.

"We believe Aunt Xiaohe, but please don't push yourself too much. I don't want you to tire yourself out." Fang Ci said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I won't fall down before achieving my goal!" Lei He said with a free and easy smile.

"Once I have finished my research on the Four Disasters, I should be able to ask the president to lift the restriction order on me. Then I will return to the Sinnoh region with you. Until then, you should continue to do your own things."

Having said that, Lei He sat back in her chair and put on her glasses.

"Then we won't disturb you from working, Aunt Xiaohe!" Seeing this, Fang Ci and the other person looked at each other and tiptoed out of the laboratory. From beginning to end, Lei He never took her eyes off the work in front of her for a second. In Fang Ci's memory, she had always been like this. Once she started working or researching, nothing could distract her, so her father teased her as a stubborn person.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?" Qi Shu asked puzzledly as he walked out of the laboratory and looked at the gradually expanding smile on Fang Ci's face.

"Why, you can't laugh even though you're happy?" Fang Ci laughed and took Qi Shu's hand. "Didn't you say you wanted to go to the lounge to play with Poppy? Let's go!"

Being pulled by Fang Ci towards the lounge, Qishu always felt that her brother Fang Ci had changed after coming out of Lei He's laboratory. This change was difficult to detect and describe in words, but it was undeniable that she liked this change in Fang Ci very much!

"Sister Qishu, Brother Fangci!!"

As soon as the two of them walked into the lounge, Poppy, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, saw them at a glance, and immediately jumped off the sofa and ran towards them in her little leather shoes.

"Oh, Poppy, you're so cute!"

Influenced by Fang Ci's change, Qishu's mood became happier. Looking at Popi who was running towards him in a cute little skirt, Qishu, who had been a little timid because of Popi's identity as the King of Heaven, immediately squatted down and stretched out his hands to hug Popi who was running towards him into his arms.

"Sister Qishu is also very cute!" Popi stood up in Qishu's arms, blinking her big, bright eyes and looking at Qishu, and replied in a very serious tone.

"Haha, of course!" Qishu accepted Popi's compliment without any modesty.

"So Poppy also likes to watch Cricket Man. I thought kids your age liked to watch other cartoons!" Qishu sat on the sofa holding Poppy, his eyes fell on the familiar scene on the TV screen, a surprised expression on his face.

Poppy looked at the old-fashioned images on TV and said excitedly, "I don't know about the others, but Poppy's favorite is Speaker Cricket! Every time I see Speaker Cricket fighting to protect the world, I feel so excited!"

After hearing this, Qishu smiled and whispered in Popi's ear, "I'll tell you a secret, Popi. Your brother Fangci's and my favorite cartoon is also Speaker Cricket!"

When Poppy heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered some treasure, and asked excitedly, "Really? Sister Qishu and Brother Fangci also like Speaker Cricket Man? Then don't we have a common hobby!"

Qishu nodded and said with a smile, "Of course. We have a complete set of Speaker Cricket DVDs at home. We just rewatched it not long ago. The excitement was just like returning to our childhood."

Poppy was even more excited after hearing this, as if she couldn't wait to share this joy with Qishu and Fangci. She hugged Qishu tightly, with a happy smile on her face, as if at this moment, she had found her own little world.

Poppy is a nine-year-old girl who grew up in a very serious family environment. In this family, study and training are the main themes of her life, and she has almost no time for her own entertainment. Her parents have high expectations for her, hoping that she can excel and become the pride of the family. Therefore, Poppy is always strictly required to maintain excellent performance at all times and cannot relax at all.

But for a nine-year-old child, the responsibility given to Popi by the family is too heavy, so heavy that it should not be borne by a nine-year-old child. Even so, Popi usually has no complaints. Watching cartoons in the lounge under the pretext of work is the most rebellious resistance of little Popi.

Ever since she knew Fang Ci and Qi Shu also liked Speaker Cricket Man, Poppy seemed to have opened up her chatterbox and kept talking. She discussed every detail of Speaker Cricket Man with the two of them, her face full of joy from the bottom of her heart.

Today, nine-year-old Poppy, an absolute genius in the eyes of others, met a friend for the first time who could discuss her favorite cartoons with her.

Looking at Fang Ci and Ji Ji in the lounge arguing like children with Poppy over who is the most powerful villain in Speaker Cricket Man, Ye Ci, who had been standing outside the door and watching for a long time, couldn't help but smile.
