Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

Although there was a little accident in the middle, Xiaoguang and Ash set off from Futaba Town together according to the agreed time, and headed in the direction of Shinsa Town, the town closest to them, which is also the town where the Pokémon Research Institute is located.

Today was supposed to be a day of celebration and joy, but…

“I’m so tired…”

After walking for more than two hours, Xiaoguang finally let out such a lament.

It’s not that Xiaoguang stays at home all day and night, resulting in insufficient physical strength, it’s just…

“Why does travel feel a little different from what I thought? It’s so ordinary.

Xiaoguang told the truth about how tired he felt.

They stopped and walked along the way, not walking for more than two hours, it stands to reason that even if they are tired, they will not say it, but for Xiaoguang, the exhaustion in his heart is far more deadly than the physical exhaustion.

“Why can’t you meet something interesting?”

Ash: “…”

How should I answer at this time? This is a problem.

“It’s only been such a short time, how can you encounter anything interesting? If you can meet interesting things in two hours, then interesting things will become boring.

“Why are you old-fashioned?” Xiao Guang pouted and complained.

“That’s the truth, isn’t it…” Ash didn’t think there was anything wrong with his words. In other words, Xiaoguang, have you walked from Futaba Town to Shinsa Town before? ”

Before?” Xiaoguang thought for a moment and slowly replied, “If you walk, you haven’t walked yet… But if you go to Zhensha Town by bicycle, you will do it several times, because there are many kinds of goods in Zhensha Town.

“That’s why you don’t think there’s anything new.” Ash said. “If it’s a place you haven’t been to, you think the scenery on the road is also very strange, such as forests, meadows, deserts, and snowy mountains…” Xiaoguang,

who was still tired from traveling, suddenly came back to her senses after hearing Ash tell her about places she had never been before.

“Of course, even if you are already familiar with the place, you may encounter interesting things because you find some paths, but if you want to walk the paths, it is better to be in the town, otherwise you will easily get lost.”

“The trail… Is it…….?

Xiaoguang pondered Ash’s words, and then clapped his hands sharply as if remembering something.

“Ah! That’s right! It seems to be right in front of the signpost, where there is a short road to the town of Shinsa! However, because it is close to the woods, I have never been there, so let’s go there this time! Good no good?! ”

“OKI！”

Hikaru’s proposal was quickly supported by the long-tailed monster, who was originally idle, and of course agreed to have the opportunity to go to more exciting places. Contrary to Xiaoguang’s performance, Ash and Pikachu are veterans who have lost their way after all, and they know how risky it is to walk the trail.

As if reading Ash’s concerns, Xiaoguang immediately added, “No problem! Many people have walked that path, and they say that there is nothing special except for some wild Pokémon living in it, and the road is a one-way road, so there is no risk of getting lost! Ash

: “… Okay, I know, don’t look at me like that… The same goes for you with the long-tailed monster! Ash

finally couldn’t resist Xiaoguang, and could only nod and agree to her plan.

Think of it as a special care for newcomers, after all, as Xiaoguang said, since there is no risk of getting lost, it is also good to take a small walk. Although the road is flat and safe, it still lacks some wild Pokémon life after all, it is not so interesting, Xiaoguang has only traveled on the first day today, and it is actually good to bring her some freshness.

Of course, this novelty is better not to be chased by wild Pokémon.

Ash couldn’t help but shiver as he recalled his first day of travel.

In this way, after the proposal to change the route forward was accepted by Ash, Xiaoguang’s spirit suddenly returned to the way she had just gone out, and along the way, she quickly arrived at the signpost she said, that is, the entrance of the trail.

“The road ahead is unrepaired, please proceed carefully.”

Ash stood in front of the sign, reading the warning words next to the sign, and his expression became strange.

“How bad are the roads here that you need to make such a warning?” Is there really no problem?

Ash turned his gaze to Hikaru, consulting her opinion.

“No problem, no problem!” Xiaoguang patted his chest and said very unconcernedly: “That road sign is already several years ago, and the middle of the road surface here has long been repaired, so there will be no problem!”

“Is it…”

(When Xiaoguang usually says that there is no problem, it is often the most problematic time.)

For some reason, Ash’s mind suddenly came to mind what Saiko said before leaving.

It shouldn’t be so metaphysical, right?

After all, Xiao Zhi has also traveled with Xiaoguang for so long, during which Xiaoguang said that there is no problem hundreds of times, although there are many problems in many cases, but most of the problems are easy to solve, just walking down a small road should not be a situation, right?

“Okay, okay! Stop thinking about it! Hurry up and go! Ash

: “???

Ash looked suspiciously at Hikaru, who hid behind him and pushed him forward.

If you want to go, why should I go ahead?

“Hmm~ in case a wild Pokémon suddenly attack, wouldn’t it be troublesome for me to walk ahead? If Ash is in front of you, then the long-tailed monster and Pikachu are by your side, so there shouldn’t be any accident.

“It makes sense to say that.”

Ash suddenly realized.

This point is indeed something he has not considered, and if he thinks of this in advance, even if Xiaoguang does not do this, Ash will take the initiative to walk ahead.

“Then let’s go.”

Ash shrugged his shoulders and beckoned the long-tailed monster who couldn’t wait to jump into the tree, and planned to step into the woods.

“Although there should be no dangerous Pokémon near the initial town, Pokémon such as the large needle bee are more special, if you see it, you must escape as soon as you see it, after all, they usually appear in a large number of people.”

“I know~ Besides, I don’t dare to be arrogant in front of the big needle bee without getting the Pokémon~”

Xiaoguang puffed out his face, as if he was very dissatisfied with Ash’s attitude of treating himself as a child, so he urged him to hurry forward.

And just as Ash took a step towards the stone barrier leading to the woods, he suddenly felt a soft texture under his feet, not the imaginary feeling of stone or mud, and under this gap, Ash’s body also began to shake, and he didn’t last for two seconds only to hear a scream.

“Ah——!”

At the first stop out of the door, Ash fell the ground.

But before Ash could complain about what was underneath, he only heard a slight whimper filled with sorrow and resentment behind him.
