Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

early morning.

The sunlight gently shines through the light pink curtains and quietly shines into a warm bedroom in Chaoxiang Town, Kalos Region.

On the bed, a girl with long flaxen hair was still immersed in a sweet dream.

"Tweet-"

The sound of birdsong came from the windowsill, and a sparrow was tilting its head to look at the sleeping girl.

It has an orange-red head, a gray body and wings, and the white V-shaped pattern at the end of its tail is particularly eye-catching in the morning light.

Carlos's house bird - the little arrowfinch.

"Chirp?"

Seeing that the girl didn't move, it flapped its little wings and flew to the bedside, and pecked the girl's cheek gently with its pointed beak.

"Well……"

The girl moaned, frowned slightly, raised her hand and waved, trying to drive away the little guy who disturbed her sweet dream.

“Chirp, chirp.”

But the little sparrow refused to give in and pecked a few more times, chirping happily in her ear.

The girl then slowly opened her eyes and looked at the little arrow bird in front of her sleepily. Her voice was soft and glutinous, as if she had just woken up:

"Good morning, little bird! Why are you calling me so early?"

As she spoke, the girl sat up and stretched, her long flaxen hair scattered on her shoulders in a somewhat messy manner.

She casually brushed her hair, walked to the window and opened it. Fresh air rushed in, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees.

"Good morning, Ironclad Rhino."

"Iron Rhino~"

On the grass not far away, the armored rhinoceros was napping with its tail swung. When it heard the sound, it raised its head and shook it at her.

At this moment, a gentle voice came from outside the door:

"Salina, are you awake? Breakfast is ready."

Yes, this girl with long flaxen hair and a beautiful face is Carlos, the most popular heroine in all generations.

Serena!

"Here I come, Mom!"

Serena responded, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet, walked to the closet, opened the door, and picked out the clothes to wear today.

When I went downstairs, the table was already filled with delicious breakfast.

A beautiful woman with short dark brown curly hair walked out of the kitchen. She was wearing a simple dark blue top and a bright yellow triangular hair accessory in her hair, which added a bit of liveliness.

Sarina's mother, Sachi.

During the meal, Sachi smiled and said to her:

"Salina, there's also some very interesting unicorn-riding training waiting for you today."

"Oh, I know, Mom."

Serena stuck out her tongue, turned around, grabbed the cycling jersey hanging on the back of the chair, and went out.

In fact, she was a little tired of the day-to-day rhino riding training.

She longed for a different life and to see the wider world outside.

Maybe...I can meet him again.

The impression I have of that boy is that he always has a bright smile on his face.

The training ground outside the house.

On the grass, the armored rhinoceros was paddling its hooves restlessly. When it saw Serena coming, it immediately quieted down and shook its head excitedly.

Serena touched its rough neck:

"Be good, let's go to the east side of town for training today, okay?"

"Iron Rhino."

The armored rhinoceros, which had been restless just now, immediately lowered its head docilely, and its warm breath sprayed on the back of her hand.

"Let's go."

Serena skillfully climbed onto his back, and the latter spread out his four hooves and ran towards the path to the east.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky.

She looked up and saw a group of Pokémon flying towards the distance, their figures looking particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

"Where are they going? Their journey must be wonderful..."

Serena looked at the group of Pokémon, her eyes full of longing.

"Iron Rhino~"

The armored rhinoceros let out a dissatisfied cry, as if protesting her distraction.

Serena came back to her senses and patted its head:

"Excuse me, we need to speed up."

"Iron Rhino!"

The armored rhinoceros seemed to be encouraged, and it spread its four hooves and rushed onto the country road with Serena.

The wind blew up the ends of her hair, and the trees on both sides quickly retreated.

Serena tried to loosen one hand to adjust her balance, and tapped the rhino's flank lightly with the heel of her boot. The rhino immediately understood and sped up.

"Wow--"

Serena's laughter was carried away by the wind.

At this moment, two figures suddenly jumped out from the fork in the road ahead.

"People in front, be careful!"

Serena yanked the reins hard, and the armored rhinoceros let out a short neigh, its front hooves leaving deep marks on the ground before it finally stopped in front of the two boys and girls.

Serena patted her chest and exhaled:

“Thank goodness it stopped…”

The two figures in front also breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is there an armored rhinoceros here?"

"I almost got lucky."

"Yes, yes, you should apologize."

Serena then remembered and quickly got off the armored rhinoceros:

"Sorry, sorry, are you okay? This path is usually deserted, and I didn't control my speed well..."

Serena was apologizing when she looked up and met a pair of surprised eyes.

The people who came were naturally Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang who were passing by.

Looking at the girl who had gotten off the armored rhinoceros and was apologizing profusely, Xiaoyun asked tentatively:

"Are you...Salina?"

Xiaoyun also participated in the summer camp, so she naturally had an impression of this most popular female lead.

"Um....who are you?"

Serena was stunned.

Since this person could call out her name, he must know her. Judging from his appearance, he was about the same age as her, with short black hair and dressed like a traveler.

Apart from the person who is most familiar to me, there are only two left.

One has a hedgehog head, and that's the other one.

She blinked, her voice uncertain:

"Is it... Xiaoyun?"

As for boys, she only knew three of them who attended the summer camp.

If you can’t recognize it, use the process of elimination.

"It's really you."

Xiaoyun chuckled and said:

"But that's right, this is Carlos, it's normal to run into you."

To some extent, he also witnessed the relationship between Satoshi and Serena during their childhood.

"Do you know each other?"

Xiaoguang looked at Xiaoyun curiously, then looked at Serena, secretly admiring her in his heart:

What a beautiful girl.

"This is a friend I met at summer camp when I was little, Serena."

Xiaoyun introduced, then turned to Serena and said, "This is my girlfriend, Xiaoguang. She is currently preparing to challenge the Kalos Alliance."

He was the only one who went to the summer camp. As for Xiaoguang?

Maybe Xiaoguang thought it was more fun to stay at home than to go to summer camp at that time.

"girlfriend!"

Serena exclaimed, looking at Xiaoguang in surprise.

This girl is so beautiful.

As if she had thought of something, her cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, and she quickly stretched out her hand:

"Hello, I'm Serena."

"I'm Xiaoguang, a trainer, and... a coordinator trainer."

Xiaoguang said this, sounding a little unsure.

Her commands are getting smoother and her battles are getting more fierce. Is she still a coordinated trainer?

"Are you traveling?"

Serena asked, her eyes falling on the backpacks behind them.

"Yeah, we got there yesterday, but there doesn't seem to be a Pokémon Center here, so we ended up setting up a tent by the river for the night."

Xiaoyun sounded helpless.

I don't know what's wrong with Rotom. Maybe he hasn't adapted to the new area well or what? He was clearly targeting Baidan City, but how did he end up in Chaoxiang Town?

This went straight through.

"Well, our town is relatively small, and there really isn't a Pokémon Center. The nearest one is half an hour away by car."

Serena thought about it and invited enthusiastically,

"But if you don't mind, you can come to my house and rest for a while. There's a spare room at home, and it's nearby."

"Then excuse me."

The two nodded quickly. After traveling for several days, it would be great to have a place to take a shower and rest.

........

"Mom, I'm back."

Serena stood at the entrance changing her shoes and shouted towards the door.

"Why are you back so soon? Serena, you can't be serious."

Sachi walked out of the house, and the little arrow bird on her shoulder saw Salina and immediately flew over and landed on her shoulder.

When Saki saw Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang behind Serena, she was stunned for a moment: "Hey, there are guests."

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Serena's friend. Sorry to bother you."

Xiaoyun bowed slightly and greeted politely.

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. It's rare for Serena to bring her friends home. I'm so happy, Auntie."

Sachi said enthusiastically, and quickly led the two to the living room: "Come and sit down, have some tea, don't be restrained, just treat yourself as if you are at home."

"Thank you auntie."

Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang nodded in agreement and took the teacup handed to them by Saki.

The two chatted with Sachi for a while, talking about where they came from, where they were going, what they planned to do, etc.

Xiaoyun responded one by one, talking about his travel experiences: "Our first two trips were mainly to challenge the alliance. This time we came to Kalos, one, I want Xiaoguang to challenge the alliance and the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament here, and two, I have some tasks to complete myself."

"Triple Crown Satellite?"

Serena asked curiously, "What is that?"

Although Serena belongs to Carlos, she really doesn't know much about exhibition events like the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament.

Just like Xiaoyao, she didn't know the general situation of the gorgeous competition before setting off.

"It's a show match unique to the Kalos region. It's a bit like the Coordination Trainer Competition, but it focuses more on the cooperation and creativity of Pokémon and Trainers."

Xiaoguang explained with a smile: "I came here this time just to experience it."

"You are all so amazing,"

Serena lowered her head, a hint of disappointment in her voice: "I have absolutely no goals."

"But didn't your mother say your goal was to participate in the Armored Rhino Competition?"

Xiaoguang asked in confusion: "I think this is also good. It is very meaningful to be able to fight side by side with Pokémon."

"I do not know either."

Serena sighed, twisting the corner of her clothes unconsciously with her fingers.

She knew there was nothing wrong with this arrangement. Her mother had always said that she was very talented in this area and if she persisted, she would definitely become an excellent professional rider.

But I always feel that this is a little different from what I imagined.

Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang saw what was on her mind and did not ask any further questions.

Just then, the TV in the living room suddenly broadcast a news report, attracting Serena's attention.

"...The Land Shark runaway incident that occurred in Miare City last night has been resolved."

"According to witnesses, a trainer from Kanto successfully calmed the out-of-control Pokémon, and the incident was resolved..."

A familiar figure flashed across the screen, holding Pikachu, jumping down from the towering Prism Tower, landing steadily on Garchomp's back, and patiently comforting it.

Of course, if the picture is not at a high altitude, it is still quite lovely.

"That... is Xiaozhi!"

The glass in Serena's hand trembled slightly, and water droplets slid down the wall of the glass and fell onto the back of her hand.

She was completely unaware of this, staring at the screen without blinking, her heart beating inexplicably faster.

"That Land Shark belongs to my senior brother, right?"

"Xiaozhi is really brave, jumping from such a high building. Fortunately, he is okay."

"He wouldn't be Satoshi if he wasn't brave. This is what he's capable of."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Serena turned her head and looked at Xiaoyun:

"Did you guys know Xiaozhi was here too?"

"Yeah, we were together just two days ago. Calculating the time, this guy should have finished challenging the Miare Gym."

Xiaoyun said, deliberately pausing for a moment, looking at Serena's nervous expression, and continued:

"But Serena, we haven't seen each other for so long, how come you recognized Xiaozhi at first sight?"

Of course he knew what Serena was thinking, he just wanted to give her a push.

"actually……"

Serena bit her lower lip, her voice hesitant. "I've been trying to find a chance to properly thank Xiaozhi."

When I was a child, I accidentally got lost when I first entered summer camp. I also broke my knee and was in so much pain that I couldn’t walk.

Just when she was helpless, a boy with a bright smile found her, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and bandaged her wound.

"Don't be afraid, my name is Xiaozhi, I will help you find everyone."

That sentence, that smile, was like a ray of light, illuminating her childhood.

She had always kept that handkerchief carefully.

Xiaoyun knew about this a long time ago, but he still couldn't help but praise it:

Xiaozhi, you were quite good at this when you were a kid.

No matter what, since Serena is such a good girl, he must play the role of wingman.

"Then what are you waiting for? Just go if you want to."

Xiaoyun encouraged him, "The most important thing in life is to follow your heart, otherwise you will regret it."

As a girl, Xiaoguang also saw what Serena was thinking. Although she didn't understand why Xiaozhi was the one, she still encouraged her:

"Yes, Serena. If you don't talk about some things now, you may never have the chance again."

"Don't leave yourself with regrets."

Serena watched the scene on TV where Xiaozhi jumped off the building. The courage he showed was almost exactly the same as it was then.

However, she was still a little hesitant, but Xiaoyun's next words completely dispelled her concerns.

"I heard that Xiaozhi always finds a girl as a companion every time he goes to a region."

"Girls? Every time we go to a new area?!"

Serena's eyes widened.

"So, it seems like that, back in Sinnoh it was Nozomi, Unova was Aerith, and Haruka and Misty seemed to be from the Hoenn and Kanto eras."

After years of tacit understanding, Xiaoguang immediately understood Xiaoyun's meaning and cooperated very well.

What! So many?!

Serena panicked instantly. Didn't that mean she had no chance?

"But I haven't found it yet."

Xiaoyun changed the subject: "I just don't know what will happen in a while~~"

Hearing this, the hesitation in Serena's heart disappeared instantly.

She stood up suddenly, with a light in her eyes that she had never seen before:

"Okay, I've decided. I'll leave tomorrow!"
