my pokemon player.

The view turns back to the Pokémon Center in Viridian City. Xiaozhi looks at the black screen of the video call and complains unhappily:

"Why did you die so quickly, Professor Oak? I haven't even said hello to Stinky Mud yet."

Xiao Gang spoke to comfort him: "Professor Oak is very busy, and we will be returning to Pallet Town soon, so you will be able to see Mud soon."

"That's true." Xiaozhi nodded, and then said with high morale: "Okay! Before returning to Pallet Town, I must get the Tokiwa Badge!"

"I can't let Xiaomao surpass me this time. Pikachu, let's go!"

After saying that, Xiaozhi was about to leave with Pikachu, but was stopped by Xiaoxia.

"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry? You've always been unable to catch up with Xiao Mao, so this time won't make any difference."

"Ah? Uh"

Hearing these heart-wrenching words, Xiaozhi squatted on the ground in frustration, exuding a dejected air.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang lowered his voice and said, "You are so harsh, Xiao Xia."

Xiaoxia put her hands on her hips and said nonchalantly: "I'm just telling the truth~"

"That's right, I can't catch up with Xiaomao." Xiaozhi said softly, "But I have tried my best."

Chen Yan stepped forward and patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, saying comfortingly:
"It doesn't matter. Your hard work will not be in vain. Sooner or later, you will surpass that trainer named Xiao Mao."

"Really?" Xiaozhi stood up and said with shining eyes.

"Of course it's true, I believe you!"

Chen Yan's tone was extremely firm, and the protagonist of the game would definitely believe it.

The setbacks in the early stages are all paving the way for the final victory over the powerful enemy, which is also a classic tactic of the passionate protagonist.

Xiao Zhi was moved by Chen Yan and burst into tears: "I didn't expect you to trust me so much. Don't worry, I won't let you down. I will definitely defeat Xiao Mao!"

"Very good, very energetic! Then I will wait and see!"

Chen Yan continued to encourage, thinking that if the favorability value could be displayed, Xiaozhi's favorability towards him would be at least over seventy.

It is still easier for a game protagonist with a passionate personality to gain favorability, unlike Lord Ryan, who has to put in a lot of effort to increase his favorability.

The other players also saw Chen Yan's intention and stepped forward to improve their favorability:

"Xiaoyan is right, you will defeat Xiaomao sooner or later!"

"Xiao Mao is nothing, I think Xiao Zhineng won the championship of the Quartz Conference!"

"I can see Xiaozhi's talent at a glance. Your dream is to become the world's number one Pokémon master, right? Look at his ambition!"

Xu Ruofeng and the others talked one after another, which made Xiaozhi so excited that he couldn't wait to have a Pokémon battle with Xiaomao right now.

"What are Xiaoyan and the others doing?" Xiaoxia asked Xiaogang in confusion.

Xiao Gang replied: "Maybe he was trying to cheer Xiaozhi up and help him regain his confidence."

"It's just that they don't know Xiaozhi very well. After hearing these words, Xiaozhi will definitely become proud and complacent."

Just as Xiaogang expected, Xiaozhi's self-confidence instantly increased after hearing the players' compliments, and he clamored for Chen Yan and others to go to the Tokiwa Gym with him to witness his highlight moment of obtaining the Tokiwa Badge.

Xiaoxia said worriedly: "What should we do? Should I go and attack Xiaozhi again?"

Xiao Gang shook his head: "It's useless. Xiaozhi won't listen to anything you say now. Only by letting him experience setbacks himself can he return to his original state."

"Fortunately, I heard that the leader of the Tokiwa Gym is very powerful, and Xiaozhi may not be able to obtain the Tokiwa Badge from him."

Xiaoxia was still a little worried: "What if Xiaozhi fails, will he never be able to recover?"

"How is that possible? It's not like Xiaozhi hasn't lost before. Although he will be depressed for a while after the defeat, he will always pick himself up again. He will be able to do it this time too." Xiaogang said with a smile.

Never giving up easily is one of Xiaozhi's greatest strengths. He will not give up on himself because of a failure, but will work harder.

Therefore, to some extent, temporary failure is a good thing for Xiaozhi.

While Brock and Misty were talking, the players also finished leveling up their favorability and accepted Ash's invitation to watch the game.

On the one hand, he wants to continue to improve Satoshi's favorability, and on the other hand, out of curiosity, he wants to see the gym battles in the future world.

However, players still have to stay in the Pokémon Center, after all, their Pokémon are receiving treatment here.

If the Pokémon Center is raided by a villain organization again, they will be back to the days before liberation.

So both Chen Yan and Xiyue chose to stay in the Pokémon Center. The former was the first to stand up and comfort Xiaozhi, and his favorability was increased enough.

The latter is not interested in Satoshi's favorability and only wants to stay and look after Celebi.

Although Xiaozhi really wanted to invite Chen Yan to watch the game, he knew the importance of Pokémon to trainers.

When Pikachu was injured, he also stayed in the Pokémon Center and didn't want to go anywhere.

So Xiaozhi didn't force it, but just asked Chen Yan to wait for his good news, and then left the Pokémon Center with full confidence.

After watching Xiaozhi, Xu Ruofeng and others leave, Chen Yan looked around the environment and facilities of the Pokémon Center.

Although the era in the game does not match reality, it is not difficult to see that the technological level of the future world in the game is no less than that of reality, and even exceeds that of modern society in some aspects.

Of course, these are not the point. He has played games where the technological level is far beyond the real world. No matter how high the technological level in the game is, it will not affect the real world.

Chen Yan's focus was on the Pokémon Center's teleporter, which was exactly the same as the one in Firefly Town.

Thinking about the medicine and Poké Balls that Lord Ryan took out, as well as the act of building a Pokémon Center, Chen Yan's deep-seated speculations surfaced again.

Could it be that Lord Ryan really traveled back from the future world?

But didn't Lord Ryan never leave Firefly Town since he was a child? When did he travel through time?
Perhaps there is another possibility, Lord Ryan is from the past world, and by chance he met someone from the future world and received help from the other side.

However, this is also something that doesn’t make sense. Why would people in the future world help Lord Ryan?
Just when Chen Yan was puzzled, Xiaozhi and his friends returned to the Pokémon Center.

"Oh? Xiaozhi finished challenging the Tokiwa Gym so quickly?" Chen Yan asked in surprise.

Xu Ruofeng waved his hand: "Don't mention it, the guard said that the owner of the hall has something urgent to do, and the challenge will not be open until tomorrow."

"This"

Chen Yan turned to look at Xiao Gang: "Are all your museum owners so free?"

Xiao Gang smiled bitterly and said, "How is that possible? Generally speaking, gym leaders cannot leave the gym casually. If they are frequently reported, the Pokémon Inspector will come to review the gym's qualifications."

"But gym leaders also need to rest, or deal with emergencies, so gyms have a certain number of rest days each year, and gym leaders can freely choose when to rest. It can only be said that Xiaozhi is unlucky."

Chen Yan nodded in understanding: "I see, this system is quite humane."

"Damn it! I want to get the Tokiwa Badge in one go. Why do they have to close for a break at this time?" Xiaozhi yelled, clenching his fists.

"It's okay. One more day is not too bad. Take a good rest today and be refreshed to face tomorrow's challenge." Chen Yan comforted him in a gentle voice. Xiaozhi sighed and said, "But my blood is boiling now. I really want to fight with others."

Seeing Xiaozhi looking dejected, Chen Yan shook his head helplessly.

Although Xiaozhi is the protagonist of the game in the future world, he is still a child after all, and it is normal for some children to have tempers.

Just as Chen Yan was about to say a few more words to comfort Xiaozhi, he heard a pleasant sound coming from the counter of the Pokémon Center.

"Thump~thump~thumpthump~"

Along with this voice came Miss Joy's cry:

"Xiaoyan, your Pokémon has recovered~"

When Chen Yan heard this, he didn't bother to comfort Xiaozhi. He quickly ran to the counter and took the Poké Ball handed to him by Miss Joy.

"Thank you, Miss Joy!" Chen Yan thanked in surprise and joy.

He didn't expect that the treatment efficiency of the Pokémon Center in the future world would be so high. It only took a short time for their Pokémon to fully recover.

If only the Pokémon Center in Firefly Town could be as efficient.

But then again, there is a huge gap in technological levels between the Kingdom Age and the Future Alliance, so low efficiency is normal. It is good to have a Pokémon Center.

I just don’t know if I can bring back items from the future world to improve the technological level of the territory.

"You're welcome. This is what we should do. I'm going to take care of the other Pokémon first. Feel free to call me if you have any questions." Miss Joy said gently.

"Okay, Miss Joy, you go ahead."

After Miss Joy left, Chen Yan turned around and returned the Poké Ball in his hand to its original owner.

Xiao Gang at the side couldn't help but ask: "Um. Didn't you travel from the Kingdom Era? Why do you have modern Poké Balls? As far as I know, there shouldn't be Poké Balls in the Kingdom Era."

Chen Yan nodded slightly: "You are right, there is indeed no Poké Ball in the Kingdom Age, and Pokémon are controlled by Magical Beast Equipment instead."

Xiao Gang couldn't help but widen his squinting eyes when he heard this: "Warcraft equipment? Could it be."

"Well, in our time, Pokémon were called monsters, and most humans were afraid and disgusted with them. Not only did they not treat Pokémon as partners, they also enslaved and abused them." Chen Yan continued.

Xiaoxia frowned: "How can this be? Pokémon is obviously our best friend!"

Xiaozhi also agreed: "That's right, the humans of your time were too bad!"

"Xiaozhi!" Xiaogang shouted, "Stop talking!"

"Why can't we say that humans in the Kingdom Age did..."

At this point, Xiaozhi suddenly realized that Chen Yan and the others were also humans from the Kingdom Age.

He had no choice but to explain awkwardly: "Well, I didn't say you, I wanted to say."

"Don't be nervous. I also think that humans in our time were pretty bad." Chen Yan responded with a smile.

"But not all people in the Kingdom Age are bad. There are still humans who truly care about Pokémon and treat them as partners."

"For example, you guys." Xiao Gang also showed a gentle smile on his face: "You take good care of Pokémon, and Pokémon trusts you very much."

Chen Yan nodded gently: "We are indeed different from other humans. This is also influenced by our lord. He taught us to treat Pokémon well."

"Then your lord is pretty good." Xiaozhi praised first, then changed the subject: "By the way, what does lord mean?"

Xiaoxia was speechless: "You idiot, you don't even know what the lord means and you're praising him!"

"Shouldn't we praise you? And you said it as if you knew what the lord meant!" Xiaozhi retorted.

Xiaoxia raised her head: "Of course I know, the lord is equivalent to our current mayor and mayor."

"Is what Xiaoxia said true?" Xiaozhi asked Xiaogang to confirm.

"It's almost the same, but the lord seems to have more power. Let's not talk about that for now. Aren't we discussing Poké Balls?" Xiaogang tried to bring the topic back.

Chen Yan did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "Our Poké Balls were all given to us by Lord Ryan, and we don't know their specific origins."

"I see. It seems that your lord's identity is not simple."

Xiao Gang touched his chin and said that like Chen Yan, he also suspected that Ryan was a person who traveled through time and space.

"Okay, let's not discuss someone who's not here anymore."

Xiaozhi interrupted and looked at Chen Yan expectantly:

"Xiaoyan, didn't you say you would have a Pokémon battle with me after your Pokémon recovers? Why not have a battle now!"

"But aren't you going to challenge the Tokiwa Gym tomorrow? Aren't you afraid that your Pokémon might get hurt?"

Chen Yan didn't want to delay Xiaozhi's progress in challenging the gym, so he still wanted to get to Pallet Town as soon as possible.

"It's okay. This is the Pokémon Center. One night is enough time for the injured Pokémon to recover."

"Besides, our battle can also serve as special training before challenging the gym. Please help me."

Once it comes to Pokémon battles, Xiaozhi seems to have become much smarter and speaks in a variety of ways.

"Pika pika~"

Pikachu also clasped his hands together and stared at Chen Yan with his big watery eyes and asked.

Faced with Xiaozhi and Pikachu's pleading, Chen Yan couldn't bear to refuse, so he simply nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Chen Yan agreed to fight him, Xiaozhi danced with joy:
"Great! Let's go quickly, I remember there's a battle field next to the Pokémon Center."

Looking at Xiaozhi's back as he excitedly left the Pokémon Center, Xiaoxia covered her forehead and said:

"When it comes to fighting, he gets so excited that he forgets everything else. There's really nothing we can do about him."

"That's Xiaozhi's personality, Xiaoyan, I'll trouble you then."

Xiaogang thought that if Chen Yan could defeat Xiaozhi and curb his arrogance, tomorrow's gym challenge might go much more smoothly.

After Xiaogang and Xiaoxia turned and left, Xu Ruofeng took the opportunity to get close to Xiaozhi and asked in a low voice:
"Do you really want to fight Xiaozhi?"

Chen Yan shrugged: "Otherwise, I don't want to lose my favorability."

"Then can you win?" Xu Ruofeng asked.

"Winning is a stunt. Xiaozhi is the protagonist of the game in the future world after all. How can I win?"

Chen Yan rolled his eyes at Xu Ruofeng and said in a gloomy tone:
"Alas, I just hope Xiaozhi will show some mercy and not let me lose too badly." (End of this chapter)
