Pokémon: Grand Contest: Showdown

Looking at the open door, Haimer sighed softly and smiled gently.

"Yes, he's waiting for me in the future. So there's no need to dwell on it or be sad."

Thinking of this, Haimer picked up the milk bottle shaped like a coyote, opened it, and took a few sips of the liquid inside.

In the blink of an eye, the moment Haimer put down the bottle, his body shrunk to the size of someone who could walk through the small door.

However, there is one small problem: the clothes and shoes did not shrink.

So, Haimer tore off a few pieces of fabric from the dress and used them to casually wrap his body.

At that moment, as Haimer arrived at the small door, just as he was about to walk forward, the key shaped like a Yuksi suddenly fell off the door.

With a clatter, the key fell to the ground, and a light yellow light flashed across its surface, like some kind of magical hint, giving Haimer a strange premonition.

This premonition told Haimer to take the key with him.

So, Haimer reached out and picked up the key shaped like a yoke.

In an instant, the scene around him changed the moment Haimer picked up the key.

The original room has been transformed into a forest, and the once cold floor has become soft grass.

Faced with this sudden change, Haimer gripped the key tightly and cautiously observed his surroundings.

It seems you've encountered some difficulties.

Hearing those words suddenly coming from behind him, Haimer turned around sharply, and an orange-haired boy wearing a top hat appeared in front of him. It seemed that the boy who had just spoken was him.

"Hmm, were you talking to me just now?"

In response to Haimer's question, the boy in the top hat raised his head slightly and gave Haimer a bright smile.

What Haimer didn't expect was that the boy in the top hat was actually An Kang.

"Yes, little cutie."

At this moment, when he heard An Kang say "little cutie," Haimer was somewhat dazed.

Because Haimer hadn't heard that name in a long time, and hadn't seen Ankang in a long time either.

"You called me, little cutie?"

For some reason, when Haimer asked this question, his expression was one of happy disbelief.

Perhaps for Haimer, the reunion he longed for also included Ankang.

"Haha, yes, little cutie."

As An Kang finished speaking, Hai Mo smiled gently with tears in his eyes and said...

"Yes, it's been a long time, stay safe and sound."

Seeing the tears welling up in Haimer's eyes, Ankang took off his hat and introduced himself with a smile.

"Oh dear, my name is the Mad Hatter, not Ankang."

At this moment, Ankang's self-introduction was like a slap in the face, and Haimer gradually returned to calm after hearing it.

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing Haimer's response, Ankang suddenly revealed a sorrowful smile.

Then, he put his top hat back on and spoke gently to Haimer.

"Sweetie, don't cry. I will always love you, so don't be afraid. Everything will be alright."

Ankang's sudden words made Haimer frown in confusion. However, just as Haimer was about to ask a question, Ankang suddenly disappeared into the top hat like a measuring tape.

In a short while, after An Kang's body was completely inside the top hat, the top hat slowly drifted down onto the grass.

Seeing this, Haimer quickly stepped forward and picked up the hat.

I thought that Ankang might reappear, but when Haimer carefully picked up the top hat, a sleeping Pikachu came into Haimer's view.

"Ankang turned into Pikachu? Hmm... no, it should be the dormouse from Alice in Wonderland."

Thinking of this, Haimer was about to reach out and wake up the sleeping Pikachu when, just then, White's voice suddenly came from behind Haimer.

"I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late."

Upon hearing Old Bai's voice, Haimer immediately turned around, and Bai Su, who was carrying a pocket watch and hurrying along, appeared in front of Haimer.

Even though Haimer knew that Bai Su was an illusion of this world, he still couldn't help but smile when he saw him.

However, just as Haimer was about to grab Old White, Pikachu, who had been sleeping under the top hat, suddenly woke up.

In an instant, when Pikachu saw Bai Su, he pounced on Bai Su as if he had gone mad.

"Ah!!! You damned yellow rat!!"

At that moment, as Bai Su finished speaking, he and the Pikachu that pounced on him started wrestling.

Upon seeing this, Haimer realized that the Pikachu sleeping under the top hat was actually his Pikachu.

Come to think of it, Haimer's Pikachu seems to have always disliked Bai Su.

After all, every time Pikachu sees Bai Su, it bites or beats him up.

Of course, Bai Su will also retaliate promptly whenever Pikachu attacks her.

At that moment, Bai Su and Pikachu were seen fighting as they rolled into a red rose garden.

Seeing this, Haimer stepped into the red rose garden.

However, because the paths in this red rose garden were as intricate as a maze, Haimer quickly got lost.

Seeing that there were almost identical red roses everywhere, Haimer stopped in his tracks. If he had a Poké Ball on him, perhaps he could think of a solution.

However, all he had left besides the few tattered rags covering his body was that key shaped like a Yukshi.

Besides that, there was nothing else usable.

Moreover, because he was barefoot, Haimer's feet were very sore from the stones on the road.

"Hmm... Now that things have come to this, the only thing we can do is try marking the road."

With that in mind, Haimer decided to break off the red roses and throw them on the road as a marker.

However, one thing was completely different from what Haimer had imagined: these roses were as hard to break as steel.

Seeing this, Haimer pondered for a moment and then looked around.

Since there was no one around, Haimer decided to tear off pieces of his clothing to tie to the red rose as a mark.

Although this method seems ineffective, it is indeed ineffective.

Because after walking for a short time, Haimer was almost completely stripped of his clothes.

Therefore, Haimer had no choice but to remain where he was for the time being.

After all, if they continued to tear the fabric to mark him, then Haimer would really be left completely naked.

Now, because so much fabric has been torn, the cloth wrapped around Haimer's body has shrunk to the size of a towel.

Just then, as Haimer stood there anxiously trying to think of a solution, a familiar voice suddenly came from directly above him.

"Still useless as always."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Haimer immediately looked up and discovered that it was Shinji floating above him.

Dressed in a black tuxedo paired with gleaming white leather shoes, Shinji slowly landed in front of Haimer, and his black cat ears and black cat tail also slowly appeared before Haimer.

Judging from Shinji's outfit, he looks like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

However, after guessing Shinji's role, Haimer couldn't help but mentally complain.

"This casting was a complete failure."

At that moment, Shinji glanced at Haimer's body, which was covered by cloth, with his green cat eyes, and couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

"It's so small."

Although it was clearly covered by fabric, some outlines could still be seen.

Faced with Shinji's teasing, Haimer immediately responded with a hint of anger.

"What?! How rude of you! Is yours so big?"

Upon hearing Haimer's words, Shinji shook his cat ears and proudly responded.

"Anyway, we're not in the same league as you. I'm huge."

It seems that Shinji's personality changed after he became the Cheshire Cat. So now Shinji no longer has the indifference of the past, but instead has a very lively personality.

"Well, anyway, you should know the way out, right?"

As Haimer finished speaking, Shinji lightly jumped and floated into the air. Then, while floating in mid-air, Shinji grinned and asked a question in return.

"If you want to leave, then why did you come in in the first place?"

"Um... because... well, anyway, I don't want to keep going in the same place, so, can you help me?"

"Oh, I'd love to help you too, but right now I'm just a cute cat, so good luck!"

At this moment, hearing Shinji's cheeky emphasis, Haimer was about to ask something else.

However, at this moment, it was noticed that Shinji's ears had begun to disappear.

Gradually, Shinji's physical outline began to disappear, making it seem as if he had never been there at all.

"Wait a minute!! Even a hint would be helpful!! Which way should I go to get to the new place?"

Faced with Haimer's question, Shinji said this to Haimer before disappearing completely.

"You can go wherever you want, wherever you want to go, after all, you are free, aren't you?"

As Shinji finished speaking, he completely disappeared into the air.

Seeing this, Haimer looked thoughtfully at the road ahead.

Not long after, Haimer decided to follow his heart, choose whatever he liked without marking it.

At that moment, Haimer chose the path where the red roses were in full bloom, and thus embarked on this path, arriving at a huge red castle.
