Pokémon: Grand Contest: Showdown

A gentle breeze swept through the forest near Lake Ningyu, brushing past Haimer's blue hair before rustling among the leaves above his head.

Listening to the rustling of the leaves, Haimer leaned against the tree behind him with a hint of worry and said...

"I wonder what Yukshi is like now. We've been searching for so long, but we haven't found any trace of him."

Previously, after Shinji and Haimer left the illusion, they had been searching for Uxie's whereabouts in the forest with their Pokémon.

However, no matter how hard Shinji and Haimer searched, they couldn't find a single trace of Yukshi.

At this moment, after checking the time on Pocket Navigator, Shinji spoke coldly.

"I want to go back."

"Go back? But we haven't..."

Before Haimer could finish speaking, Shinji immediately interrupted.

“We searched almost the entire forest but couldn’t find a trace of Yukshi. This means that Yukshi left the forest a long time ago, and if we continue to waste time in this forest, we will only be wasting our time.”

After saying that, Shinji took out a Poké Ball and recalled all the Pokémon he had sent out to find Uxie.

Seeing this, Haimer took out a Poké Ball to recall the Pokémon he had sent out, and said worriedly.

"You're right... but..."

Seeing the preoccupied Haimer, Shinji stepped forward and flicked him hard on the head!

"Ouch! That hurts!! Why did you flick me again?!"

In response to Haimer's complaints, Shinji turned and walked towards the Pokémon Center, speaking earnestly as he did so.

"By wasting your efforts on these useless things, you will only become more and more useless."

After hearing Shinji's words, Haimer thoughtfully touched his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, Haimer took out the phoenix feather and asked Shinji curiously.

"By the way, Shinji, have you ever heard of Ho-Oh?"

"That legendary Pokémon? You're not really planning to go to Stony Town like Uxie suggested, are you?"

As Shinji finished speaking, Haimer, who had put away the phoenix feathers, also smiled and responded.

"Anyway, the next constellation door hasn't opened yet, so it's good to go and take a look."

Faced with Haimer's decision, Shinji remained silent for a moment before speaking coldly.

"up to you."

At that moment, seeing Shinji about to leave, Haimer immediately called out to him.

"Wait a minute, Shinji!"

Upon hearing Haimer's call, Shinji stopped and coldly turned to look at Haimer.

Seeing this, Haimer smiled and continued speaking to him.

"Yes, I've decided to go back to being Chi Haimo."

"You want to withdraw from Star Palace Fall?"

Upon hearing Shinji's question, Haimer gently shook his head and softly answered.

"No, I will still stay in the Star Palace Fall and complete the trial of the Constellation Gate with everyone. However, in the days to come, I have decided to return to being Ike Haimo, just like you, not only Shinji, but also Shinji."

As he spoke, a cool breeze brushed past the hair behind Haimer's ear, like a divine kiss, granting Haimer the freedom to choose again.

No, it should be said that Haimer gave himself the freedom to choose again.

At this moment, looking at the smiling Haimer in front of him, Shinji remained silent for a while, seemingly lost in thought, before speaking in a cold tone.

"boring."

Shinji left after he finished speaking, and Haimer smiled gently and helplessly upon seeing this.

Afterwards, because this matter was quite significant, Haimer called Winter to inform her.

Haimer originally thought that Winter would definitely scold him or something, but to Haimer's surprise, after hearing Haimer's decision, Winter simply gave him a calm word of advice.

"Make sure no one finds out that Chi Haimo is a Libra in the constellation of the Star Palace Fall. Well then, good luck."

Then, Winter hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Haimer put away the pocket navigator and then smiled as he brushed the hair in front of his forehead back.

Then, Haimer took out an orange hair tie with a small white flower on it. In no time, she skillfully tied her hair into a small braid.

At that moment, watching the sun gradually sink in the distance, Haimer gently touched the self-inflicted scars on his arm.

Immediately afterwards, Haimer walked towards the Pokémon Center with a smile, casually muttering to himself.

"Yes, it's okay, it's okay."
