Pokémon: Grand Contest: Showdown

Since Haimer decided to train with Shinji, Shiyan and Qianhao formed their own team and began their own training.

However, this combination of two people is indeed a little bit unreliable.

After Qian Hao spent all his money at a nearby street stall, he and Shi Yan found themselves lost in a forest called Tong Le Forest.

"Damn it, of all times, Pocket Navigator ran out of power. Ah... I'm starting to miss Hammer."

In response to Shi Yan's words, Qian Hao casually replied while fiddling with the five silk thread keychains he had just bought from a street stall.

"Hmm, Haimer should be diligently cultivating right now."

As Qian Hao finished speaking, Shi Yan immediately spoke up with a helpless expression.

"Hey Komori! So why did you buy so many keychains, and all those useless glass crafts?"

Upon hearing Shi Yan's words, Qian Hao immediately retorted with reason and logic.

"You don't understand, do you? These special works of art carry the deepest emotions of the artists."

"Oh dear, I don't understand! Anyway, right now, because we don't have any money, we can't go to the temporary charging station to charge our Pocket Navigator."

At that moment, Shi Yan's stomach growled as soon as he finished speaking, and Qian Hao smiled helplessly and said.

"Oh, so our Brother Shiyan is hungry."

Faced with Qian Hao's words, Shi Yan blushed and stubbornly replied.

"That's not true! Humph! Let's go!"

Seeing Shi Yan's defiant back, Qian Hao immediately muttered a complaint.

"He's still just a kid who likes to show off."

No sooner had Qian Hao finished speaking than Shi Yan suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Upon seeing this, Qian Hao rushed to Shi Yan's side in a panic, calling out anxiously.

"Huh?! Se-yeon!! Se-yeon, don't scare me!!"

After repeated examinations, Qian Hao discovered that Shi Yan had low blood sugar.

"Ah... what should I do... right! There should be tree fruits in the forest!"

Thinking of this, Qian Hao took out Yeebu's Poké Ball and wanted to ask him to help him find berries. However, just then, a sound of grass rustling came from beside Qian Hao.

Hearing the noise, Qian Hao turned around warily and saw that an orange-haired boy wearing a mask had come out of the bushes.

Seeing Shi Yan's poor condition and Qian Hao squatting beside him, the orange-haired boy took off his mask and spoke softly.

"It's me, a Leo scone."

At this moment, because Si Kang was using his original appearance, which he had never shown to the members of Star Palace Fall, Qian Hao showed a very wary expression when he heard his words.

So, in order to test whether the orange-haired man in front of him was indeed a scone, Qian Hao pondered for a moment and then asked.

"What have we gained in the world of Taurus?"

Upon hearing Qian Hao's question, the orange-haired man immediately answered.

"A golden daffodil."

After Si Kang's identity was confirmed, Si Kang and Qian Hao carried Shi Yan to the cabin Si Kang had rented in the forest.

This is a very secluded little house. Leaning against the window, you can occasionally hear the sound of the breeze rustling through the treetops.

At that moment, exhausted, Qian Hao fell asleep instantly as soon as he lay down next to Shi Yan's bed.

Upon seeing this, Si Kang gently lifted Qian Hao up with both hands, as if he were a baby.

Immediately after Si Kang carried Qian Hao to the bed in the next room, Shi Yan woke up.

Looking at the unfamiliar room, Shi Yan muttered to himself in confusion.

"Hmm...where am I?"

With a sense of doubt, Shi Yan carefully got out of bed, and the first thing he saw was the stack of letters on the desk in the room.

Out of curiosity, Shi Yan stepped forward, opened one of the letters, and began to examine it carefully.

My dearest little darling, how are you doing? I'm sorry to presume to write you this letter...

Yes, I hope you're doing well. I'm truly sorry for what happened in the past.

Also, I've always wanted to say thank you to you.

Mmm, my little darling, I really miss you so much...

Actually, I often see you in my dreams, and whenever I see you, I'm always afraid that I'll wake up from the dream.

Because I know that the moment I wake up, you will disappear.

I understand that we will never see each other again.

I don't have the courage to see you, and I don't know what kind of relationship I should have with you.

But my darling, do you know that I still love you now?

And even now, I am absolutely certain that it was the love that meant wanting to spend the rest of my life with you.

But now I understand that if I truly love you, I should support the path you've chosen.

Therefore, my darling, I hope you can find your own happiness.

I'm sorry, I only just realized this now. If only I had realized it sooner.

Perhaps in the past, I could have helped you in some way.

But don't worry, I'll find a way to fix everything from the past.

And once everything is over, if possible, my dear, let's get to know each other again as best friends.

After Shi Yan finished reading the letter, he heard footsteps slowly coming from outside the door.

Upon seeing this, Shi Yan was about to put the letter back into the envelope.

Unfortunately, because Shi Yan was moving too slowly, Si Kang, who happened to be at the door of the room, saw him holding the letter.

"Ah... um, sorry..."

In response to Shi Yan's apology, Si Kang shook his head and softly replied.

"It's ok."

Upon hearing Si Kang's response, Shi Yan still touched his head shyly.

After seeing Shi Yan's actions, Si Kang gently asked in an attempt to ease the awkwardness.

"Want some cookies?"

At this moment, Shi Yan nodded in agreement to Si Kang's invitation.

Afterwards, Sikang and Shiyan sat in the hall, eating cookies and chatting.

"So you're a Leo scone! Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first because you weren't wearing that disguise device, that neck ring. By the way, so you're using your real face now?"

Upon hearing Shi Yan's question, Si Kang nodded and admitted it.

"Oh, yes."

"Haha, I never imagined you were so cute and handsome in person. Oh, by the way, what's your real name?"

As Shi Yan finished speaking, Si Kang remained silent for a moment before slowly replying.

"Peace and health."
