Pokémon: System Start

"Pika!"

Pikachu felt that something was wrong with Xiaozhi, and quickly broke free from Xiaozhi's arms, climbed onto Xiaozhi's shoulders, looked at Xiaozhi with concern, and then rubbed Xiaozhi's face with his cheek.

"Don't worry, Pikachu, I'm fine."

Xiaozhi felt Pikachu's concern and immediately shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

But everyone could see whether he was in trouble or not.

"...By the way, what nightmares did you have? Maybe it will make you feel better if you tell them, after all, one of us has suffered from nightmare sequelae."

Taiyi looked at Xiaozhi, who he had comforted for a long time but didn't get well, thought for a while, and then asked others.

"Nightmare sequelae, is it a symptom of having a nightmare and not being able to get out of it?"

Dianxi asked a little confusedly. After all these years, this was the first time she heard of nightmare sequelae.

Taiyi did not answer Diancie's question, but guided Diancie's gaze to Xiaozhi.

Not only Diancie, but also others, understood who among them had the nightmare sequelae.

"My nightmare was that I fell into a pile of delicious food, but no matter what I ate, I couldn't taste it at all. Finally, Miss Joy came and told me that I had taste disorder for life and could never taste anything again..."

As Xiaoyao spoke, she couldn't help but shed painful tears. As a foodie, the greatest pain is that the food is in front of you, but you can't taste any taste.

"Then I'm better than you. My nightmare was that I entered an endless dark space and couldn't get out no matter how I walked. I almost collapsed when I walked to the back. At that time, I thought I would never escape for the rest of my life."

Xiaoguang patted his somewhat developed chest, seeming to be a little relieved that the previous one was just a nightmare.

"What I dreamed about was that all dragon-type Pokémon suddenly began to hate me and wanted to stay away from me."

Alice held her head with both hands, not wanting to recall the scenes in the previous nightmare.

"My nightmare was that I went back to the day when Xiaozhi and I first met, which was the day when our Sakuragi Research Institute opened, but Xiaozhi didn't come that day, but that person came. In the end, I really don't want to say it..."

Xiaochun said timidly. God knows how desperate she was when she met that black dog that was not even a dog in her dream.

"Who is that person?...Xiaochun, if you don't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask. My nightmare was that the Diamond Kingdom began to lose its brilliance in the Sacred Diamond, but no matter what I did, I couldn't create a new Sacred Diamond. I could only watch the Diamond Kingdom collapse..."

Dianxi looked at Xiaochun and saw that the other party didn't want to answer the question, so she talked about her nightmare.

"Pikapi. (My nightmare is that Xiaozhi doesn't want me anymore, he wants to abandon me and find other Pikachus. No matter what I do, Xiaozhi just ignores me.)"

"How could I not want you? Pikachu, that was just a nightmare! No matter what time it is, we must be together."

Xiaozhi heard Pikachu's nightmare and immediately said that he would never abandon Pikachu in his life.

Pikachu rubbed Xiaozhi's cheek immediately after hearing this.

"What about you, Xiaozhi?" Xiaoyao asked curiously, and the others also looked at Xiaozhi, who was the only one among them who had nightmare sequelae.

They were quite curious about what kind of nightmare. It could make Xiaozhi fall into a nightmare so deeply that he couldn't get out of it even if he woke up.

"...I..."

Xiaozhi was silent for a while about this question, and then told everyone about his nightmare.

His nightmare is different from others. It is not about the things he is afraid of, nor is it about the environment that makes people collapse, but about time. In that nightmare, he, as a 15-year-old boy, experienced his whole life, the separation of life and death, the departure of friends, partners, family, and even his wife and children in his memory, but he was still safe and sound, living alone in the world, and even in the end there was no familiar person around him.

More importantly, Xiaozhi is different from others. Others were awakened by Taiyi. Taiyi more or less gave them some protective measures before treating them, so that they would not feel that they had too much connection with the nightmares they had before.

Xiaozhi relied on his willpower, a willpower that may have lived in a false world for who knows how many years.

This caused Xiaozhi to be unable to separate nightmares from reality.Even Xiaozhi now has a feeling that such a dream is his future.

After everyone heard Xiaozhi's nightmare, they were silent for a while, and then Xiaoguang came forward and hugged Xiaozhi, comforting him softly.

"No problem, no problem, it's just a nightmare, Xiaozhi! You don't have to worry about that nightmare happening, I will always be with you."

"That is to say, Xiaozhi, you don't have to worry, we will never have the day of farewell." Xiaoyao nodded and agreed.

"Oh, Xiaozhi who was hit by a nightmare is really like a child, but don't worry, child Xiaozhi, big sister Alice will not leave you alone in this world." Alice put her hand on Xiaozhi's head and shook her head. Although there was a joke on her face, her eyes were full of concern.

"That is to say, although Xiaozhi and the others have experienced separation and death, did you know that there is a bug in your nightmare? That is, Taiyi's destiny has the ability to open up the world, so why can't he extend our lives or revive us? Taiyi obviously has a treasure called the Fountain of Life in his hand, which can increase our lifespan, so it was just a nightmare. When we wake up, the dream will end."

Xiaochun helped Xiaozhi analyze the bug in his nightmare with a serious face. With Taiyi's ability, as long as Xiaozhi and they are willing, it is impossible to watch them die quietly. After all, Taiyi's ability, behind that dream, can open up a new world with Arceus, and can't save them.

"Haha, that means Xiaozhi, that nightmare will never come! Okay, four beauties, Xiaozhi is now in your care. He needs the company of his companions now. I will be absent to rescue your target, Darkrai! By the way, I will meet Team Rocket!"
