Pokémon: Grand Contest: Showdown

As the survivors of the Star Palace Fall walked out of the Taurus world, Lingfei's Poké Balls appeared before them just as the gates of Taurus closed.

Seeing this, Lily stepped forward, picked up the Poké Ball, and put the Negative Pound that had been following them into the ball.

Perhaps it's because for Pokémon, the death of their trainer is a wound that is difficult to heal.

So, ever since he saw Lingfei fall into the lake, Negative-charged Patty has never laughed again.

That said, these worlds hidden in the constellations, while extremely harsh on humans, are incredibly loving towards Pokémon.

No matter how severe the damage the Pokémon suffer in the constellation world, it will be completely healed once they return to the main world.

Furthermore, the constellation world only traps humans, not Pokémon.

For example, the Poké Balls that sank with Linfei into the lake will reappear unharmed at the location where the Constellation Gate appeared after the challenge in the Taurus world ends.

Of course, wounds heal, but memories don't disappear.

Therefore, when sad things linger in your mind, a negatively charged heart will never be happy again.

At that moment, after putting away Lingfei's Poké Ball, Winter opened the Pokémon Navigator and realized that only three minutes had passed in the real world.

This is also the magic of the constellation world: time in the constellation world is not equal to time in the main world.

When two days have passed in the Taurus world, only three minutes have actually passed in the real world.

Naturally, the time spent entering the Star Palace Fallen Body is also the same for everyone—only three minutes.

Afterwards, Shi Yan carried Hai Mo to the hospital, and Qian Hao followed him.

As for the others, Winter had to leave first because she had other matters to attend to.

Shinji and Scone were responsible for waking everyone up and then explaining to Professor Conkenstein and the others that Hammer had gone to the hospital after receiving the ribbon medal due to health reasons.

On the way to the hospital, Qian Hao noticed that Haimer's lips were slightly pale, so he spoke softly to Haimer.

"Haimer, just a little longer, we'll be there soon."

As soon as Qian Hao finished speaking, Shi Yan, who was carrying Hai Mo on his back, immediately spoke up to comfort him.

"Yes, it's okay. Xiao Hao is here, and your brother Shi Yan is here too. Don't be afraid."

Faced with Shi Yan and Qian Hao's comforting words, Hai Mo, who was leaning against Shi Yan's back, could only manage a soft "hmm" because he was too weak to do anything else.

Not long after, when Shi Yan, Qian Hao, and Hai Mo arrived at the entrance of the hospital in Xianyu Town, just as Qian Hao was about to open the hospital door, a nurse standing outside the hospital suddenly stepped forward and sternly stopped him.

Hey! You outsider! What do you want?!

Hearing the nurse's reprimand, Qian Hao turned around in confusion. Upon seeing that it was a hospital nurse, he immediately stepped forward happily and said...

"Hello, nurse, my friend is seriously injured and urgently needs treatment."

Looking at the three outsiders in front of her, the nurse rolled her eyes at them disdainfully and spoke coldly.

"I'm sorry, but people from outside the town are not allowed to enter this hospital."

At that moment, as the nurse finished speaking, Qian Hao immediately spoke angrily.

"How can your hospital be like this?! Human lives are at stake!! How can you refuse to admit injured people for such a ridiculous reason?!"

"Ridiculous? Don't think I don't know you outsiders were causing a drunken rampage in the streets just a few days ago. What if you go crazy in the hospital?!"

Faced with the nurse's questioning, Shi Yan, who was carrying Hai Mo, immediately retorted.

"Even so, we already compensated for the losses that were due at the time, and we also apologized as required. But now, faced with such a seriously injured person, you refuse to admit them for this reason. Don't you, as medical professionals, feel any pain in your hearts?!"

As soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, a trace of grief and indignation instantly appeared in his eyes, and Qian Hao immediately added after hearing Shi Yan's speech.

"Besides, a long, long time ago, Fairy Town was originally formed by people and Pokémon from all over the world. But now, you're driving us away just because we're from out of town?! Isn't that ridiculous?"

Upon hearing Qian Hao's words, the nurse was about to retort when a doctor walked out of the hospital.

"What's going on?! Why is it so noisy?!"

Seeing the doctor's anger, the nurse immediately complained as well.

"Doctor, call the police quickly! These out-of-towners who caused a drunken disturbance in the street earlier are trying to vandalize our hospital!!"

Upon hearing the nurse's absurd statement, Shi Yan and Qian Hao's anger flared up instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Hao shouted loudly.

"What did you say?! When did we say we were going to smash up a hospital?! Didn't you see my friend is covered in bruises?!"

As soon as Qian Hao finished speaking, the doctor's expression changed instantly when he saw Haimo on Shi Yan's back.

A moment later, the doctor glared at the nurse beside him and then spoke gently to Shi Yan and Qian Hao.

"come in."

Unexpectedly, although the nurse at this hospital was a scoundrel who discriminated against people from other towns, the doctor was a person who did not discriminate at all.

The treatment went smoothly. After the doctor applied a special blue lotus ointment to Haimer's body, the pain from his wounds immediately subsided.

According to the doctor, this special medicine can quickly treat ulcerated skin and flesh.

However, there is one particular side effect.

That is, the hair on the body of anyone who uses it will all turn blue.

Originally, the doctors wanted to try using a treatment device developed based on the principle of self-regeneration to repair the wounds on Haier's body.

However, to the doctors' surprise, the festering wounds on Haimer's body were completely unaffected by the treatment device.

At this moment, lying on the comfortable hospital bed, Haimer silently watched the sunset filtering in through the window.

Seeing this, Shi Yan peeled an apple and tried to hand it to Haimer.

However, at that moment, Qian Hao saw the peeled apple in Shi Yan's hand and immediately reached out and grabbed his arm.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Hao began to complain helplessly.

"Hey Shiyan, at least cut it! This apple is so big, are you going to let Haimer just eat it like that?"

"Oh, what else? I peeled it."

"Oh dear, you're so inconsiderate, give it to me."

As soon as Qian Hao finished speaking, he snatched the apple from Shi Yan's hand, and then picked up a fruit knife and cut the apple into pieces.

Not only that, but a little while later, Qian Hao also carved those apples into the shape of stars.

Seeing this, Shi Yan, who was standing next to Qian Hao, also looked helpless and complained.

"You are the only one who has many things to do."

Qian Hao ignored Shi Yan's complaints and instead handed a plate of fruit, which he had cut into star shapes, to Haimer with a smile.

"Come on, Haimer, I'll feed you."

Upon hearing Qian Hao's words, Haimer turned his head slightly and apologized as he declined.

"I'm sorry, Komori, I don't have much of an appetite."

At this moment, as Haimer finished speaking, Shi Yan, seeing this, immediately said with a helpless expression.

"See, Haimer really does like to eat the whole thing. Wait a minute, Haimer, your brother Shiyan will peel another one for you."

Despite Shi Yan's good intentions, Haimer shook his head and turned back to look out the window.

Seeing this, Qian Sen asked with concern.

"Haimer, are you still thinking about Lingfei's matter?"

Upon hearing Qian Sen's question, Haimer remained silent for a moment before nodding slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Haimer spoke sadly to himself.

"I'm so weak, so weak... I can't stop anything..."

Looking at the perpetually sorrowful Haimer, Qian Hao and Shi Yan's faces were filled with worry.

Just then, as Qian Hao was about to say something, a cold voice suddenly came from the doorway of the ward.

"Then, just get stronger."

Upon hearing this sudden remark, Haimer, Qian Hao, and Shi Yan all looked towards the ward door.

At this moment, Shinji, disguised using a device, was standing at the door of the ward.

At the same time, upon seeing those golden eyes, Haimer immediately recognized that it was Shinji.

Because, in fact, Haimer had discovered a long time ago that the people Shinji disguised themselves with all had one thing in common: their pupils were always golden.

"Winter told me that there are powerful Pokémon in a lake called Rain Lake, not far from Fairyland Town. Do you want to go?"

Faced with Shinji's question, Haimer's expression was clearly conflicted, and seeing this, Shinji turned around and prepared to leave without hesitation.

Everyone thought that was the end of it, but to everyone's surprise, Haimer suddenly sat up and shouted at Shinji.

"Wait a moment!!"

As Haimer finished speaking, Shinji, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks.

Then, Haimer looked at Shinji with a firm and serious expression and spoke.

"I'll go with you. I want to become stronger, no matter what method I have to use."

Upon hearing Haimer's words, Shinji turned to look at him and spoke to him calmly.

"Let's wait a few days before setting off. You're completely useless right now."

At this moment, as Shinji finished speaking, Seiyan was about to say something in anger, but then Haimer suddenly spoke seriously to Shinji.

"After we successfully catch the Pokémon at Lake Ningyu, can you promise me one thing?"

Faced with Haimer's question, Shinji raised an eyebrow in confusion and then asked indifferently.

"what's up?"

"I want to cultivate with you. Please, teach me how to become stronger."

Upon hearing Haimer's words, Shinji's eyes showed a rare hint of surprise, as if he hadn't expected Haimer to make such a request.

Just as surprised as Shinji were Shiyan and Qian Hao, who were standing next to Haimer. However, unlike Shinji, their expressions showed not only shock but also a hint of worry.

As time passed, Shinji looked into Haimer's eyes, gave him a meaningful smile, and then slowly walked up to Haimer and softly replied.

"can."
