I got the Pokémon

Zhenxin Town, Damu Research Institute.

When Xia You and Xiao Yao, exhausted from traveling, arrived here, it was already early morning of the next day.

After receiving Xiaosheng's call, although the two of them rushed day and night, they still had to camp outdoors for a night. But even so, Xia You did not ride the Dragonite. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he really did not intend to seek help from external forces unless he had no other choice.

Fortunately, after traveling with Xiaozhi and sleeping in the open air, Xiaoyao has become accustomed to it and doesn't feel it's hard.

Some even believe that such travel is very beneficial to the body and mind.

The only thing that made her feel shy was that unlike Xiaozhi and the others who slept in sleeping bags, she and Xia You slept in a tent!
Although she felt a little embarrassed as a single man and woman in a tent, she had to admit that sleeping in a tent did feel very different from sleeping outside. At least she didn't have to worry about sudden wind and rain, and there was a warm feeling.

In short, although I was too nervous to sleep in the first half of the night, when I fell asleep in the second half, I felt that when I woke up, it was no different from being in a hotel, and most of the fatigue of the day was gone.

After climbing up the small slope and stairs, Xia You knocked on the door of the Oak Research Institute.

Not long after, with the sound of footsteps coming from inside, the door of the research institute was opened in a second, and Xiaosheng showed his head with a bright face.

"Sister! Mr. Xia You! You are finally here!"

Seeing her brother, Xiaoyao pinched her waist and asked, "What's going on? Why are you here?"

Yesterday on the phone, because we didn't talk for long, Xiaosheng didn't explain the specific reason why he came to Guandu. Now that we meet, I naturally have to ask him about it.

"Hehe." Xiaosheng rubbed his nose and looked at Xiaoyao with a smug look on his face, "You can come to Kanto, why can't I come? Humph, if you don't bring me, I will naturally come with Dr. Odamaki!"

At this time, a sound was heard and a person walked over from another room. It was Xiaojian who had not been seen for a long time!

Since finishing the trip to the Orange Islands with Satoshi, Jian has stayed in the Oak Research Institute. Now he has transformed himself into one of Professor Oak's right-hand men!

What's more, when Xiaojian and Xiaosheng stood together, they surprisingly looked in sync.

Jian is a Pokémon observer, and it seems like Kacchan could be heading in that direction too!
"Mr. Xia You, long time no see." Xiao Jian smiled when he saw Xia You, "Congratulations on winning the championship in Fengyuan. I watched your game on TV. It was really exciting!"

Xia You chatted with him for a while and introduced Xiaoyao beside him to him. From Xiaojian's mouth, Xiaoyao also knew why Xiaosheng appeared here.

Speaking of which, after Xiaosheng returned home, he felt more and more unwilling. After all, both Xiaozhi and Xiaogang had returned to Kanto, and even his sister had gone there with Xiaoxia. In a blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the team of four. How could he not feel lost?
Although he had discussed it with Chisato and Mitsuko for a long time, it was obviously not allowed for a little boy to travel across the ocean to Kanto. At this time, Dr. Odamaki happened to come to visit, and when Xiaosheng heard that he was going to the Oak Research Institute, he was naturally overjoyed, so he rushed over with him.

"So that's how it is..." Xiaoyao could only shake her head helplessly after hearing what happened, "Really? Why can't I get rid of you no matter where I go? If I had known you would keep pestering me, I would have brought you with me."

"I'm not coming with you." Xiaosheng turned his head away. "I won't travel with you if that fierce sister is here. By the way, where is that sister?"

The fierce sister he was referring to was naturally Xiaoxia. Strangely enough, Xiaosheng was not afraid of his own sister, but was both respectful and afraid of Xiaoxia.

Xiaoyao knew what Xiaosheng was thinking, and couldn't help but chuckle: "She, she has gone home to inherit the gym. Now it's just me and Brother Xia You traveling together."

Seeing Xiaosheng's face light up and he was about to say something, Xiaoyao said, "Of course, we have video calls almost every day. If you want to see, you can see her every day!"

With just one sentence, Xiaosheng's face fell, and the idea of ​​traveling with his sister in his heart instantly disappeared.

"Humph, I don't want to see her."

In fact, in the anime, Xiaosheng is not so afraid of Xiaoxia. On the contrary, they get along quite well. But that is based on the premise that they meet less frequently. Ever since Xiaoxia started traveling with Xia You, because he is good at meeting people, he has experienced her willful and capricious character, and he has also seen the scene where she slapped Xiaoshun, so he naturally has different ideas.

It can be said that Xiaoxia left an indelible shadow in Xiaosheng's heart, allowing him to see the terrifying side of women!
At this time, Satoshi and Professor Oak also came over from other rooms. When they met, there was naturally some politeness between them.

"Brother Xia You, you're so slow." Xiao Zhi said with a smile, "If I hadn't known you were coming, I would have set out yesterday! By the way, have you started challenging the frontier area?"

"Challenge?" Xia You took out two shiny badges from her arms and waved them in front of him. "During the few days you were resting at home, I've already got two!"

"What!?" Xiaozhi's face changed drastically, "You are so fast!?"

To be honest, this was something Xiaozhi had never thought of before, but he didn't waste any time, did he? After returning from Vermilion City, he had only been at home for two days, so how could Xia You be so fast?
Seeing him like this, Xia You shook his head.

"Don't worry. The reason I'm in such a hurry is because I have to go to Johto in a few days. I guess I'll be able to come back from Johto by the time you collect all the badges."

After hearing him say this, Xiaozhi felt relieved.

Of course, he didn't want to compete with Xia You in speed, he just didn't want to be left behind by him. After all, this man was the target he wanted to catch up with!
After chatting for a while, Xia You did not forget his purpose and turned to look at Professor Oak.

"Professor Oak, could you please give Xiaoyao a starter Pokémon?"

After hearing his words, everyone except Professor Oak showed surprise on their faces. Even Xiaoyao herself didn't expect that Xia You would actually ask for Pokémon for her!

"Brother Xia You, I..."

Xiaoyao was about to speak, but Xia You gave her a look that reminded her to be patient, which made her swallow back the next words.

"Do you want the initial Pokémon of the Kanto region?" Professor Oak didn't say much about Xia You's request, but just nodded, "Of course, my job is to distribute Pokémon to new trainers. Although Xiaoyao has been traveling for a while, now that she has come to Kanto and set foot on new land, she is also a newcomer!"

"Eh?" Xiaosheng thought for a moment after hearing what Professor Oak said, and then laughed, "Doctor, according to what you said, doesn't it mean that Mr. Xia You is also a rookie after arriving in the new area? A rookie trainer who holds three regional championships, it's scary to think about it!"

Hearing his joke, everyone burst into laughter.

Xiaozhi just laughed and laughed, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

hateful……

When can I become like Brother Xia You...

Led by Professor Oak, they walked towards his laboratory, where the Poké Balls of the original Pokémon were stored. As for which one she wanted, it was up to Xiaoyao to choose. And by coincidence, it seemed like a fateful encounter.

Just as they entered the room, a blue Pokémon that looked like a turtle ran out of the door in a panic and bumped into Xiaoyao's leg.

Behind this Pokémon, Professor Odamaki, who was breathing heavily, also chased out in panic steps!
Needless to say, this little turtle Pokémon is naturally Squirtle, one of the three starter Pokémons in the Kanto region. However, perhaps because it was running too fast, it did not see the road ahead. The collision directly knocked it down on its back, which startled it suddenly. It wanted to get up, but the round turtle shell under it became an obstacle.

Although Xiaoyao was a little surprised, she still bent down and held the Squirtle in her arms, then looked up at Odaki.

"Dr. Odamaki, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiaoyao? When did you get here?" Dr. Odamaki took a deep breath and then said helplessly, "I was observing the three original Pokémon here, but this Squirtle suddenly ran out for some reason."

"It ran out again?" Xiao Jian heard this and shook his head helplessly. "Is this the nth time this month? But it must have been frightened. It is actually very timid. It will run around at the slightest stimulation. It has been a headache for us for so long. We have wanted to change this character but have never been able to do it."

Xiaoyao looked down and saw the Squirtle lying on his chest with two big tears hanging from the corners of its eyes. It looked very pitiful.

But Xiaoyao didn't care. She just let it hold her and followed the others into Dr. Oak's laboratory.

As soon as he entered the room, Xia You saw at a glance that there were three Poké Balls placed on the instrument in the middle, but two of them were closed and the third one was open. It seemed that this Squirtle ran out from here.

Walking to the instrument, Professor Oak asked, "Including the Squirtle in your hand, there is also Charmander and Bulbasaur in the Poké Ball. Which one do you want?"

"Well..."

Xiaoyao wanted to put the Squirtle down in her arms before making a serious decision, but she tried several times and the Squirtle just refused to come down.

Xiaosheng wanted to help, but when the Squirtle saw him reaching out his hand, it retracted its head.

Xiaozhi touched his chin and said, "It seems that this Squirtle likes Xiaoyao very much."

Everyone could see it without him saying anything. Of course, it could also be said that the baby found a sense of security in Xiaoyao's arms.

"Then what should we do?" Xiaoyao was also very helpless.

"Why don't you just choose it." At this time, Xia You said calmly, "You have to choose anyway. Since this Squirtle refuses to come down, you can just take it away. Personally, I also recommend that you choose it."

When Xiaoyao heard Xia You's words, her heart moved.

Whether she liked this Squirtle was secondary. After all, she had just met it and didn't know much about it. But she couldn't help but take Xia You's words seriously.

After all, it was Xia You who brought her here and suddenly brought up the matter of choosing Pokémon. Based on her understanding, things must not be that simple. It seems that Brother Xia You must know something!
Especially after seeing Xia You's encouraging look, Xiaoyao no longer hesitated and nodded.

"Okay, I'll choose it!"

Seeing that, with his help, Xiaoyao had tamed the Squirtle just like in the anime, Xia You felt a little emotional.

In fact, if Xiaoyao wanted, he could take her to capture a stronger one or one that was more suitable for her.

But he also didn't want the master and servant in the anime to miss each other because of him, so after thinking it over, he decided to bring her here.

Now that she really accepted Squirtle, I feel relieved.

Now that this matter has been completed, there is no reason for him to stay here any longer. However, after all, he had just entered the door, and he could not leave until he had finished his meal together.

The arrival of Xia You and Xiao Yao undoubtedly made the Oak Research Institute more lively.

By noon, Xiaozhi's mother Hanako personally prepared a sumptuous lunch at the Oak Research Institute.

While they were having a meal, Xia You also suggested leaving.

This matter also received an immediate response from Xiaozhi.

"That's right, it's time to set off again!" Stimulated by Xia You's two Battle Frontier Badges, Xiaozhi seemed to be unable to wait any longer. When Xia You spoke, he was the first to agree, "I'm also going to start a new adventure. Whether it's me or Pikachu, we're ready!"

"I'll go with you too!"

Xiaosheng also stood up at this time, but surprisingly, he did not choose to travel with his sister, but chose Xiaozhi!
"Eh?"

Although Xiaozhi was a little surprised by his choice, he nodded happily.

After all, Xiaosheng was his partner in the Hoenn region, so it would be great to have him join the team.

only……

Looking at the two little boys, one big and one small, Hanako became a little worried.

"Neither of you can take care of yourselves. Is it really possible if it's just the two of you?"

Just as Hanako finished her words, a voice that did not belong to anyone in the room suddenly came from outside the door.

"Then count me in too!"

Hearing the voice, Xiaozhi quickly turned around and saw Xiaogang coming in with a bag on his back!
"Xiao Gang!?" He stood up in surprise and went out to greet him, saying happily, "Why are you here too!?"

"Of course I want to continue the adventure with you." Although Xiao Gang's eyes were not open and his face was still that expression of premature aging, it was not difficult to hear his smile from his tone, "Now it seems that I arrived at the right time!" (End of this chapter)
