I'm just a Pokémon trainer passing by

After uncovering Team Rocket's conspiracy to foster their family, Ash and his crew continue their journey, now on a cruise ship.

"It looks like this journey is going to be difficult. As long as we challenge the Crimson Lotus Gym, Ash will be able to collect eight badges and challenge the Pokémon League!" Misty said happily while holding Togepi.

Xiaozhi also nodded and said, "Indeed, we have experienced a lot along the way. It is indeed not easy."

"It is said that there is a research institute on Crimson Lotus Island which is a great place to breed Pokémon. Many trainers come here to watch. It is a famous research instructor." Xiaogang also said.

At this time, Xiaozhi was lazily lying on the fence. His slightly thin shoulders seemed to carry the weight of the whole world, but he looked so relaxed. The sea breeze blew past, ruffling his hair on his forehead.

As for Pikachu, it lay obediently on top of Ash's head. Its small body fit perfectly with Ash's hat. It treated Ash's hat as an interesting toy and would occasionally use its cute little paws to gently fiddle with the brim of the hat.

Mew, Celebi and Meloetta, the three little cuties, sit neatly on Ash's right shoulder like close friends, quiet and peaceful. As for Machado, he occupies Ash's left shoulder alone, with lively eyes, curiously observing everything around him.

"To be honest, I haven't felt as comfortable as I do now in a long time!" Celebi said with a happy smile, her laughter was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature.

"That's true, it's absolutely right! By the way, what kind of experiences have you had in the past?" Menghuan blinked her big eyes, with a bright smile on her face, and asked with the same smile.

Since these elves were successfully captured by Xiaozhi, they have started this relaxed and happy life journey together. At this moment, hearing the question from Menghuan, even Pikachu, who was playing nearby, quickly came over and couldn't wait to share his story.

"As for me, I actually don't know much about my life experience. I was adopted by my mother and brother Possum when I was very young, and since then, I have been dependent on them and living together. Until one day, I was lucky enough to meet Satoshi." Pikachu recalled the past while telling about his origins and how he met and got to know Satoshi. When he talked about the emotional parts, his eyes flashed with great pride.

"What about you, Machado? How did you get here?" Pikachu asked curiously, blinking his big round eyes. He looked at the guy named Machado in front of him and couldn't help but wonder: Look at this guy, he doesn't look like a Pokémon born and raised in their land!

After hearing this, Machado scratched his head in confusion and said slowly: "Speaking of me, in fact, even I don't know myself. Just like you, I came here inexplicably. It's just that I became its shadow servant because I was chosen by the Phoenix King. But about my life experience and origin, I really have no idea." After saying that, Machado lay down in Xiaozhi's arms and rubbed his chest hard. His comfortable look seemed to say: "Oh, this is so comfortable!" Then he added: "But now it's much better than before. At least I don't have to worry about having no food or drink anymore!"

"It's finally my turn to speak! In fact, it all started from the last time and space tunnel." Shi Labi said so, and then began to tell the story of its origin.

"You know, in my tribe, I am a complete outlier! It's not because of my pink appearance, but because other people in the tribe are mostly green and cyan in color. Even though no one says it, the vague sense of exclusion can still be felt." As he spoke, Shlabi gently pinched his little finger, looking a little lonely.

At this time, Machado on the side curiously poked his head out and asked, "Then why were you so seriously injured at that time?"

Hearing this, Stonebill scratched his head guiltily and explained slowly: "Well, it's a long story. Our tribe has always been keen on traveling through different time and space, and often helps Pokémon and humans in trouble. However, I am different from them. Once I did something that violated the rules of time, and unfortunately I was targeted by the powerful Dialga. These shocking wounds on my body are caused by its amazingly powerful Time Roar!"

In the chat room, the discussion became more and more intense.

[Palkia: Yes, I am your brother, is it that serious? He just traveled through time and space, you are not going to attack him with your ultimate move, right?]

Tialuka snorted twice and said.

[Dialga: Humph, not really. Look at what he did.]

As he spoke, Dialga directly sent out what Chilatina had done, which made everyone in the chat room take a deep breath.

[Chilatina: Oh my, you are really brave, you dare to tamper with other people's fate.]

Palkia frowned and said:

[Palkia: Everyone, I don't know what destiny is, but I do know a little bit. Tampering with destiny will lead to divine punishment.]

The pink Slappy disagreed and said with a smile:

[Pink is the Rabbi: Ah ha ha, I just want to help others.]

Dialga's tone turned serious:

[Dialga: Helping others? Look at who you are helping first. You just tampered with other people's fates and caused a series of chain events. Do you know that this will cause a huge change in the future? It would be the least of your punishment to be killed.]

The Pokémon on Xiaozhi's body also began to look at Slappy with complicated expressions. This guy is really bold!

Well, now it's my turn to tell you about myself! Actually, I come from a quiet lake in the Tree of Life.

Speaking of which, it is really a wonderful fate that allowed me to meet the lovely Xiaofen and become close friends.

However, since I have the important mission of supervising the Tree of Life, I can't always stay in one place. I can only run around to explore and play around.

Having said that, oops, I accidentally said what I was thinking.

Later, as time went on, I gradually became tired of this kind of life where I was dominated by tasks and had no control over my own affairs.

Until one day, I accidentally saw from the light screen that Xiaopin was successfully persuaded by Xiaozhi, and what was even more surprising was that the shackles that bound her actually disappeared magically! So, at that time, I secretly thought in my heart: If I can be as lucky as Xiaopin and be conquered by Xiaozhi, maybe the shackles that have been bothering me can also disappear with it?

Hearing this, Pikachu at the side couldn't help but tilt his big yellow head curiously, blinking his big round eyes, and asked in confusion: "Hey, you keep mentioning this 'shackle', what exactly is it?"

After hearing this, the heavy fantasy beast couldn't help but sigh deeply, and the heavy breath seemed to carry endless thoughts and emotions. It slowly spoke, with a hint of helplessness and relief in its tone, and began to explain in detail:

"This so-called shackle is actually a mysterious and supreme law of heaven and earth. When we, the fantasy beasts, were born into the world, we were born with incomparably powerful power. However, along with it, there is the shackle of heaven and earth that tightly binds our bodies. This shackle is invisible and ordinary people cannot detect its existence at all, but for us, the fantasy beasts, we can clearly see it like a looming fog, covering each other."

At this time, Melueta nodded slightly to show her agreement, and continued to explain: "Yes, that's right. This shackle not only restricts our freedom of movement, but is more like an invisible cage that firmly imprisons our power. Only under certain conditions or through some special opportunities can we break free from the shackles and release all the strength that truly belongs to us."

After listening to what the two said, Ermachado frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "In my opinion, perhaps the reason why the shackles on my body moved is because I sensed the existence of the Phoenix King. Perhaps it is this strong perception that prompted the shackles to change, allowing me to get guidance and take on the mission of leading others to find the Phoenix King and become his Phoenix King's Shadow Guide." At this point, Ermachado's eyes flashed with a firm and confused light, as if he was full of unknowns and expectations for the future.

Then all the elves came out first to take a look at Melueta.

Melueta also explained.

"As for me, I'm from the Unova region. I came here on a ship traveling to Guandu. After the warehouse got some memories on the screen, I wanted to come and take a look. However, due to my guardian, I asked him about it. At this time, the villain organization from some region also came there and set me as the target guardian. Seeing this situation, they had to send me to the Guandu region, knowing that my real guardian is there." Melueta also explained clearly.

"The real guardian, you are not talking about Ash, right?" Pikachu said doubtfully and Anmeilueta nodded.

"That's right. The guardian is also the name of Qingdao Xiaozhi. I don't know why I always feel a little trembling. Then suddenly I saw the situation on the screen and my introduction, so they hurriedly sent me to the plane to Guandu." Melueta also waved his hands. He didn't know what happened.

The Pokémon also chatted with each other.

Quietly enjoying the sea breeze.
