Pokémon Legends Ash

After a night, the rain stopped and the sun shone on the earth.

In front of the shrine, Pikachu and several other Pokémon were looking left and right.

They were watching to see if the figure had returned safely.

At this time, a figure emerged from the bushes. His walking posture was like a zombie, and as stiff as a machine.

Xiaozhi dragged his exhausted body, which was beginning to break like glass, back to the shrine. He was covered in a mixture of mud and rain, and even grass, branches and fallen leaves were mixed in various parts of his body.

"I'm sorry, everyone... I can't find Xiao Lan..."

Xiaozhi lowered his head in shame, avoiding the Pokémon's gazes, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Pika... (It's okay, I'm glad you're okay.)"

Pikachu walked forward and hugged his thighs.

Xiaozhi lowered his head and saw the worry in its eyes. He raised his head and looked at each Pokémon, and they all had the same look in their eyes.

"Everyone……"

Ash cares about Pokémon, so why shouldn't the Pokémon care about him too?

There were no words between him and the Pokémon, everything was expressed in action. They hugged each other, seemingly dissolving their sorrow.

"But... is that really the case?"

Xiaozhi understood that even if he forgot it temporarily, the pain had already become a scar.

It was there, always there. Whenever he touched it, he would think of the pain, the uneasy pain in his heart.

Xiaozhi looked up, the blue sky was reflected in his pupils, just like the floating hair in his heart.

"Let's go, Pikachu, everyone."

He walked quickly in front, and except for Pikachu, all the other Pokémon were put back into the Poké Ball.

"Pica..."

Looking at Xiaozhi's back, Pikachu felt a sense of desolation for some reason.

Xiaozhi and Pikachu walked in the tung tree forest for an unknown period of time. They thought they were almost at the exit, but it seemed like they were going deeper and deeper.

It was as if he had some unfinished business.

…………

"Ah! Bugs, bugs! Such big bugs!

Ah Jin, use your invincible Fireball Mouse to think of a solution!!!"

"Chris, stop shouting. Those bugs you mentioned were scared away by your loud voice..."

Wearing a baseball cap backwards and a pair of shorts, the boy named Ajin looked helplessly at the girl hiding behind him.

The other person's bright blue hair sparkled like crystal under the setting sun.

"You...what are you talking about? Who is the loud one?!"

Ajin blocked his ears with his fingers and looked at Chris with dull eyes.

"Even the roar of a fossilized pterosaur would be no more than this."

Looking at Chris, who turned her head away proudly after having a tantrum.

"If we don't walk faster, we'll have to camp soon, and you don't want to sleep in a tung tree forest full of bugs.

There might be green caterpillars crawling all over your body, or giant beedrills dragging you away as food reserves, or even parasitic parasites living on you."

As Ajin spoke, he couldn't help but smile.

'Chris's frightened look is so funny.'

"Then... let's go quickly! Jin, hurry up!"

Chris's voice came from a distance. When Ajin came to his senses, the other party was already some distance away from him.

"This guy... I don't know what's so scary about Bug Pokémon, a girl... "

Ajin shook his head and followed Chris. They walked in the forest, facing the setting sun and the approaching darkness.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ajin and Chris had discussed the idea of ​​camping several times, but she never agreed. It seemed that... the bug Pokémon was just that scary to her.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have scared her... How long will this last?!"

"Hey! Ah Jin, look, look! Is there anyone living there?"

Looking in the direction of Chris's finger, next to a small blue lake, a lighted wooden house was spewing white smoke from the chimney.

Chris's eyes lit up as if she had seen treasure, and she jumped towards the cabin.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

"Hello! Is anyone there?!"

Chris stood in front of the wooden house, staring at the door handle with her pitiful eyes, as if this would impress the owner of the house.

Creak————

The door opened, and an old face appeared in front of Chris. She looked at Chris, stunned, and kept staring at her bright blue hair.

"Hello, old lady. May I ask... can my companion and I stay here for one night?"

"Ah...ah! You can stay overnight, of course. Come in, I'm the only one in this room."

Her thoughts were interrupted by Chris's voice. The old woman was Xiao Lan. She looked at Chris as if she saw her former self.

Just now... I was so touched.

Xiaolan led Chris and Ajin to the second floor and pointed to several doors in the corridor on the second floor:

"You can choose any one you like. There are empty rooms here. You can sleep in whichever one you want. But...

As I get older, my sleep becomes shallower, so I hope you can be quieter at night."

"I... Jin and I are not in that kind of relationship! Grandma, you think too much!"

Chris seemed to have thought of something, her face flushed, and she lowered her head to refute.

"Yes, grandma, Chris and I are not what you think. She is so stupid and has a loud voice. Who can stand her~"

Ajin said with a smile, not caring about Chris's face at all. He was about to know the price of doing so.

"Ajin!!!"

"boom!!!"

A dull heavy punch hit Ajin's head, and a big bump appeared on it in an instant.

"That's probably the only thing that the giant mantis has..."

Ajin's eyes were full of stars, and he even compared Chris's fist with that of the giant mantis in his mind.

"Hmph! Watch your words!"

Seeing the fights between Ajin and Chris, Xiaolan couldn't help but smile. In her eyes, it was clearly herself and Xiaozhi.

"Hot water is always available. You can go to bed early after washing up."

Xiao Lan said this and turned to leave.

But to Ajin and Chris, the back view looked so lonely.

"Has this grandma always lived alone?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Ajin shook his head, picked a room at random and walked in.

"You should be able to rest well tonight."

A Jin looked at the big bed in the room and couldn't help thinking that this was the first time he had traveled. Unless he passed through a town, he usually slept in the wilderness with Chris.

Late at night, Xiao Lan was lying on the bed and was not asleep. She slept on the first floor, with only a ceiling between her and Ajin and Chris.

Her thoughts were in a tizzy, and she always felt that the people sleeping on it were not Jin and Chris, but herself and Xiaozhi.

Time has changed her appearance, her life, her future. But... the only thing that cannot be changed is the heart that still loves him.

In the long river of time, only love remains unchanged.

But...it's not even clear when this love can find its home.
