Pokémon Wizard's Paladin

"Xiaozhi..."

"It's all gone, I'll just talk to him about the rest. Xiao Zhi understands people and won't go to the horns of bullshit."

Dialga wanted to say something, but was stopped by Arceus, so he could only follow the orders of his immediate superior and leave with Palkia and Giratina.

"You don't have to run on me, this time is not over! But... I still know that revenge can't be wrong."

Xiao Zhi said indifferently, "Arceus, I know you are in a hurry now.

Maybe it's because of that... the guy who is about to be resurrected, maybe because of the change in the void in your mouth, in short... these things make you: anxious.

You are dissatisfied with the ease after I arrived in Alola, so you thought about spurring me behind you, and wanting me and the people behind me to grow up quickly, right!"

"It's not that you're dissatisfied, it's just that you really need to become stronger, Xiaozhi, and you have to master the power you have more skillfully! The people around you, you have to let them improve their strength quickly. !"

"I will become stronger, and they will become stronger, but I will not force them!"

Xiaozhi rejected the other party's words without hesitation, "Arceus, you are never human, so you don't understand at all! I will never take the initiative to ask them to grow in strength, and I will never force them to accept anything. Suffering! They came together because of my relationship, and they stood behind me because they were willing to follow me. I have no right to ask them to accept those... let themselves grow painfully! I accept If you have them, you naturally have the responsibility to protect them, even if you slow down because of this, it doesn't matter! Maybe in your opinion, I am dragged down by them.

But I want to tell you, without them, I wouldn't be where I am today! It's never been a drag, but a bond! This bond is the source of my power to support me all the way to where I am now!"

"You just asked me to promise you not to make such an impulsive choice next time... Of course I won't, because there will never be a next time!"

Ash said decisively, "Arceus, listen to me, no one can go beyond my protection and hurt them from now on! I will never let such a thing happen again! Today What you say is my promise, you God of Creation, come and testify to me!"

"Xiaozhi..."

"Forget it, what you said is right at home, I'm still waiting for me to take care of the aftermath, I don't have time to spend time with you mushrooms..."

Ash shook his head and ignored Arceus, but quietly turned towards the sky island.

In the void, only the God of Creation was left with a regretful sigh.

Back on the same road, Xiao Zhi found that someone was waiting for him at the gate of the empty island.

Flora.

Chapter [-]

Turning back from the forest, the empty island kept expanding in front of her eyes, and a person stood timidly beside the gate of the island... She clasped her hands together and held them crampedly in front of her chest, her knuckles were slightly hairy because she held it too hard. White.

Her pupils were a little out of focus, and her eyes fluttered out scattered, and she couldn't find the look and agility of the past.

She has been maintaining this sullen posture, even though Xiao Zhi has come to her side, she has not made any response.

"Oh, you are very stubborn now, you don't even say hello when you see me"

Xiao Zhi stopped in front of the other party, squinted his eyes from top to bottom and looked at the little woman in front of him who was trembling with nervousness because he suddenly heard his own voice, "My dear maid, you're going to go against the heavens.. .!!!”

"No...no!"

Flora shook her head eagerly in defense, "Lord Ash, I...I'm sorry...really, very sorry.

I betrayed your trust, you entrusted everything to me when you left, and I screwed up.

I'm sorry... it's all my fault..."

"Your fault... It's okay, then you can tell me carefully, where are you all wrong?"

Xiaozhi folded his arms around his chest and stared at Flora with a sophisticated look, wanting to hear her say one, two, three.

Hearing Ash's words, Flora's expression instantly turned darker than before.

She was actually mentally prepared to be held accountable by Xiao Zhi when she came back, but when this moment really came, she suddenly felt very scared.

She is not afraid that Xiao Zhi will get angry and mad at her, or even that Xiao Zhi will really punish her, but she is afraid that Xiao Zhi will no longer trust her from now on.

She has always regarded herself as Xiaozhi's unique maid, even though Xiaoxia, who is an old friend, has been promoted from girlfriend to wife, she does not feel that she is inferior to the other party.

She has a strong ability to do things and is meticulous and cautious. Whether it is Sky Island or Ash's home in Alola, she is well-organized, and even Ash's mother Hanako compliments her.

Her name is even heard by the most powerful people in the world... There are many women around Xiao Zhi who can't be bothered, and Flora is definitely one of the most important existences! She seems to be ordinary There is no special power, and the strength of the trainer is only average... However, she holds Ash's core strength! In addition to... Holy persuasion, Ash's mobile battle facility, which is empty. Island! When Ash is not around, Flora's orders go up and down the empty island.

Even Serena dare not say that she can command all the Pokémon on the empty island, but Flora can! There is only one reason for this, and that is... Ash believes in her.

Because I believe, Xiao Zhicai is willing to hand over his net worth to Flora to take care of.

But now Flora doesn't have this kind of hair and self-confidence. When she finally waited for Xiao Zhi to hold her accountable with an uneasy mood, she found that what she worried about most was the loss of trust.

For her, this may be more uncomfortable than death.

"Hey, talk to me"

A slightly impatient voice pulled Flora's own imagination a little rudely.

She raised her head and found that Ash was still looking at her in the same position as before.

"Have you thought about it, where did you go wrong, let's talk about it"

"I... failed to discover the abnormality in Tomoko at the first time, and let her act alone in these extraordinary times and then became confused because of the discovery of her seriously injured uncle, and it was too late to find out that there was something wrong with Tomoko's dreams , which made Sigana search for Tomoko alone and was hit hard by the other party.

After this series of incidents, I misestimated the situation at that time and did not dispatch all the main battle force of the sky island to rescue, so that Alice was finally taken away by the enemy.

In the end, because I was worried that the other party would attack again, I don't dare to let everyone leave the sky island, and I also don't dare to take the sky island to fly back to Alora.

Ash-sama, all the plans you explained to me before you left were put on hold because of this.

Anyway, it's all my fault..."
