Pokémon Legends Ash

"I'm really deceiving myself. In the end... is it just an illusion?"

Another gust of wind blew by, and he disappeared from her sight. It turned out that their meeting was just a joke of time.

She still guarded the dilapidated wooden house, alone, and he...

"Finally out, Pikachu. I seem to have forgotten something. But it shouldn't be anything important. Let's go to the nearby town and have a good meal first!"

I was starving during these few days in the forest."

Xiaozhi felt as if he had seen the light of day again. Looking at the sunny forest outside, he felt refreshed.

Although he always felt that he had forgotten something, it no longer mattered. He vaguely forgot her existence.

"Pickup!"

Looking at Xiaozhi running alone in front, Pikachu quickly caught up with him and looked back at the paulownia forest.

A gust of wind blew through the woods, making a sound like bells.

A blurry figure flew through the woods, and Pikachu blinked. The wind stopped, and it was as if the figure had never been there.

'Pickup truck? (What's that?)'

"Pikachu! Come on, I'm leaving you behind!"

"Pika-Pika! Pika...Pika...Pika-Pika? (Xiaozhi, who are you looking for...looking for...looking for?)"

Pikachu shook his head and thought for a while but still couldn't remember. Under Xiaozhi's constant urging, he left the Paulownia forest.

In the town, after having a delicious meal, Xiaozhi came to the Pokémon Center.

After handing all the Poké Balls to Miss Joy, I contacted my family.

“Mom, I’m in Chengdu now, um um.

I'm fine. I'm in good health. Pikachu was just handed over to Miss Joy for a physical examination.

You might have to wait a while if you want to see it.”

"Okay, I'm glad you're okay, but... why did you go all the way to Chengdu? Weren't you staying in Guandu for a while?"

"Ah, this..."

"I can't talk about the Phoenix King. And Celebi and... and someone... it seems like there's someone very important to me, and I forgot about it."

"What's wrong? Xiaozhi, this is not like you. You are hesitant and lost.

Could it be..."

Hanako smiled with an "I understand" expression, and raised her voice as if on purpose: "Xiaozhi! It's okay to be dumped, you must be brave and move forward!

Come on, mom supports you! "

Hanako finished speaking, covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, and hung up the phone, leaving only the passers-by with smiles on their faces, staring at Xiaozhi who was embarrassed.

'What on earth is mom talking about?!'

"Ding! Xiaozhi, your..."

The broadcast sounded, and Xiaozhi came to the front desk to retrieve Pikachu and the Poké Ball, but was met with a meaningful smile from Miss Joy and a "Come on."

It's obvious what the reason is.

Xiaozhi's face was filled with shame, and he could only say a few words to his mother Hanako in his heart.

"But... I was dumped. How could that be possible? Xiaolan and I... wait... "

The automatic door of the Pokémon Center opened, but Xiaozhi stopped and stared at the ground in front of him with a dull look in his eyes.

"Pikachu, we... seem to have forgotten Blue, we... haven't found her yet..."

“Pika…Pika, Pika!”

Pikachu suddenly realized, and it also remembered who it had forgotten.

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu, who was originally lying on Xiaozhi's shoulder, jumped down, jumped onto the street, and ran out of the town without stopping.

Xiaozhi reacted and quickly followed Pikachu.

"Xiao Lan! We are here to find you! ! "

At the Pokémon Center, a green figure appears and disappears, as if it both exists and does not exist.

…………

"How many days is it today? Ah, I can't remember. But the only thing I remember is... I miss you so much, Xiaozhi..."

Xiao Lan sat on the bed. She didn't feel that today was any different from usual. She walked to the mirror and washed up like a robot.

"GuluGulu~"

Spitting out the water from brushing teeth, Xiaolan looked at herself in the mirror.

“Wait…wait wait wait wait!”

"What's going on! I...how did I suddenly return to my original state!!!"

Xiaolan used both hands to stretch her eyelids wide and looked at herself in the mirror again and again, from her chin to her forehead, from her nostrils to her earlobes, from her scalp to her jawline.

She was absolutely unwilling to miss any details, fearing that... the person in front of her was also an illusion, and was fake.

“It’s true… It’s true! It’s true!!”

Xiao Lan was overjoyed. Although she didn’t know why she changed back to her original appearance, it was a good thing for her after all!

Only in this way, only in this way could she stand in front of him without fear.

'I'm going to find him! I'm going to...'

"Looking for Xiaozhi!!"

Xiao Lan didn't hesitate, put on his shoes casually and ran out of the cabin.

The door was closed with a bang. Perhaps out of anxiety or happiness, Xiao Lan did not notice that a small figure behind him was startled.

However...after seeing Xiao Lan being so excited, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh happily.

On the other side, Xiaozhi gradually caught up with Pikachu and kept running towards the Paulownia forest!

'I forgot the most important person, I'm sorry!

Now, I will find you, for sure! You must wait for me...'

"Little Blue!!!"

Xiaozhi took a step hard, and the puddle splashed muddy water. He kept running, just hoping to see Xiaolan faster and faster.

…………

'Xiaozhi! I want to see you, I want to see you!

I have returned to my original form. I have the courage to stand in front of you! This time I will not run away. I want to see you...'

"Ash!!!"

The two kept running through the woods, shouting each other's names.

If you are going to meet someone who is important, someone you like, someone you admire, or someone you love, you must run.

As long as you walk faster, you will be able to stay with each other longer.

This is especially true for couples in love.

If you love her, how can you not want to see her right away; if she loves you, how can she not want to jump into your arms right away?

"Ash!"

"Little blue!"

Xiaolan sprinted at full speed, and Xiaozhi opened his arms to welcome her. A force rushed towards Xiaozhi, but he didn't feel anything, instead his smile became brighter.

"what are you laughing at?"

"Because I feel it. I feel Xiaolan's mood at the moment is the same as mine."

Xiaozhi smiled, and Xiaolan smiled too. After just a few words, they knew each other's feelings. For them, this was the best ending.

For Celebi, the forest god, this is also the ending he wants to see.

Maybe Xiaolan didn't know that Celebi was watching her when she turned into an old lady.

She also didn't know that the price of using that power was just to get a few days older. This could be considered a prank by the God of the Forest.

Although she suspected that she had been deceived, she would still think about saving him. Since she had taken a fancy to him, it would be enough to play a prank on him. He also understood the preciousness of time.

Perhaps she thought that she could never use that power again, and this was the best ending.

"Xiao Lan, look, it's Celebi!"

"where?"

"It has already flown away, but... Celebi will definitely keep us safe."

"Well...bless you, bless me, bless Pikachu and everyone else, and bless 'us', the countless 'us' staring at this place..."

Xiao Lan raised her head and smiled.

The faint smile is like a spring breeze, like flowers and honey, and it is very sweet.

Just like roses spreading on a stone wall in spring, just looking at it from a distance, it feels... incredibly beautiful.
