Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

Time goes by slowly.

The feeling of restlessness when I first woke up quickly disappeared in this leisurely and comfortable environment.

The smell of freedom wafts around the lake.

But while everyone was enjoying the cold summer days in the lake, there were two shadows deliberately running around in the forest.

“So Ash, do you think Dr. Yamanashi’s deliberate words are reminding us that the ingredients at night may be hidden around the lake?” Xiaoguang, who originally wanted to change into a swimsuit and go into the water for the first time, learned that Ash did not have this desire for the time being, so he followed him all the way to the forest.

The unpolluted forest is always filled with complex aromas, one second it may be fresh flowers, the next it will be fragrant with the fragrance of tree fruit. The layers of green shade set the space in countless planes, and through the intricate branches and leaves, you can still see the clear blue sky, and the sunlight that spills in obliquely and the cries of Muker that sound from time to time are particularly comfortable.

It was in such a comfortable atmosphere that Xiaoguang actually got such surprising information from Xiaozhi’s mouth.

“Look at Dr. Yamanashi’s statement, it should be like that.”

Ash replied so nonchalantly while still looking down for what he was looking for.

Of course, he would like to enjoy himself in the lake and spend his days leisurely if he could, but whenever he remembered Dr. Yamanashi’s words, his heart was always a little apprehensive, after all, he didn’t want to watch others eat at dinner, and he could only look at the empty plate and sigh alone.

The reason why he went to the forest in advance to look for clues that Dr. Yamanashi may be hiding is only because Ash is not sure how many “ingredients” Dr. Yamanashi has prepared.

He doesn’t want much, just take his share off first.

“I didn’t expect that it seemed like an easy day, but it turned out to be an unusually large number of tasks…” Xiaoguang couldn’t

help but sigh when he thought of this.

They are free to move in the morning, but in the afternoon they have to observe the water system Pokémon, record how they live, and compile a report, and when they go back in the evening, they have to report their harvest to Dr. Yamanashi.

Since there is no time in the afternoon, the task of finding so-called ingredients can only be carried out in the morning like Ash, and those who are still enjoying themselves… Xiaoguang could only silently wish them good luck.

“But even then, Ash, don’t you use a waveguide?”

“That’s not interesting~ After all, this is just a summer lecture! It’s not good if you take it too seriously! Looking

at the ashen-faced Ash, Xiaoguang couldn’t help but be silent.

If you could wipe the dirt and dust off your face, it would be more convincing.

Xiaoguang held his forehead and didn’t know what to say for a while.

Putting aside good abilities and not using them, but burying their heads in the hot summer, whoever comes to see this scene seems to only evaluate Ash as “a little stupid”.

But.

Looking at Ash’s serious side face, Xiaoguang smiled unconsciously.

But this kind of stupidity can really affect the people around her, otherwise she wouldn’t have followed Ash here, or if she had seen it earlier, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to travel with Ash.

Thinking about it, even Xiaoguang herself unconsciously showed the same silly smile as Ash usually did, she flipped through the side pockets of her skirt and took out a blue handkerchief from it, and when she just walked to Ash’s side, she didn’t expect that in the next second Ash suddenly shouted and stood up.

“Found it! That’s it! ”

“？！”

Startled by Ash’s sudden action, the handkerchief that Xiaoguang had already held in her hand was put away by her.

The words explain that I want to do good deeds to help Ash wipe his face, why do I hide my handkerchief like a thief?

Xiaoguang, who came back to his senses, did not understand his subconscious actions, although his heart was a little awkward, but she still faced Xiaozhi with a smile.

“Found what? Is it an ingredient?

“It’s not.” Ash shook his head. “But it’s not that much.”

Ash said, and spread out a note in his hand with “Shiitake × 3” and put it in front of Xiaoguang.

“It’s paper with ingredients written on it, and Dr. Yamanashi said that what we can eat tonight and how much we can eat depends on how many such notes we can find.”

“…… Although I have already made mental preparations, I still feel a little unbelievable.

Xiaoguang unconsciously sighed again.

Why does Dr. Yamanashi look so calm and come up with this kind of activity like a child’s treasure hunt?

Although they seem to be children.

“There seems to be a note buried over there, Dr. Yamanashi, they seem to have specially placed a few sticks of grass as a hint when hiding these notes.”

Looking at Ash’s back as he explained while leaving to the other side, Xiaoguang was stunned, then chuckled, and followed.
