After spending two hours, Lin Wu and the martial arts master Xiong returned to the forest.
As soon as they arrived, the Gardevoir eagerly appeared in front of them and asked, "Have you found it?"
Lin Wu nodded, then shook his head: "Xiao Shen is no longer in this world."
Gardevoir was slightly startled: "No more...?"
"He suffered from an incurable disease and passed away two years ago." Lin Wudao.
He told Gardevoir exactly what the woman said.
After listening, Gardevoir nodded sadly, "I want to go over and have a look."
Hearing this, Lin Wu and the martial arts master Xiong looked at each other.
A few hours later, they returned to the woman's home with Gardevoir.
Led by the woman, they came to a cemetery.
The woman squatted in front of the tombstone, gently wiped the dust on it, and said to Gardevoir beside her: "This is where Xiao Shen sleeps. Before leaving, he always wanted to see you again, but the child was too weak to do anything.
Talking and walking.”
Gardevoir looked at the tombstone and listened to these words in a daze.
Scenes from the past appeared in its mind.
On a warm afternoon, when it was still a lalulas, the black-haired boy leaned against a tree and said to it sadly:
"If one day I can come back here again, I will definitely take you on a trip with me."
At that time, he was still young and did not know the meaning of this sentence.
It waited and waited in the forest, waiting for the boy to come and play with it as usual. They had agreed to fly a kite together.
But now, that boy has left this world forever, and they can no longer play together like before.
Thinking of this, tears flowed from Gardevoir's eyes.
Infected by Gardevoir's emotions, the woman beside her also began to sob softly. She had not yet come out of the shadow of losing her son.
Lin Wu and martial arts master Xiong stood not far away, watching this scene silently.
The martial arts bear master's face was serious, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After a long time, the woman stopped crying.
She and Gardevoir walked up to the two of them, wiped the tears from their faces, and thanked them: "Thank you very much. I think Xiao Shen will be very happy if he knows that Gardevoir has come to see him, right?"
"Well, you will definitely be very happy!" Lin Wu nodded seriously.
The woman raised her head, closed her eyes, adjusted her emotions, and then turned to Gardevoir and said, "Thank you very much, Gardevoir."
"Shanai..."
"Are you going back?" the woman asked.
Hearing this, Lin Wu looked at Gardevoir, do you want to go back to the forest?
But Gardevoir shook his head slightly, looked back at the cemetery, and said to Lin Wu: "I want to stay with Xiao Shen."
Lin Wu was slightly stunned. He looked into Gardevoir's eyes, nodded after a moment and said, "I understand."
"Thank you." Gardevoir said.
Lin Wu looked at the woman again and told her the incident.
After listening, the woman had a look of astonishment on her face. She obviously did not expect Gardevoir to make this decision.
Gardevoir didn't say much.
A blue light flashed in its eyes, and the next second, its figure disappeared from where it was.
That's teleportation.
"It's gone?" The woman has not yet reacted.
Lin Wu looked in the direction of the cemetery and said, "It probably wants to accompany Xiao Shen in this way."
A bitter smile appeared on the woman's face.
After the commission was completed, Lin Wu said goodbye to the woman. He did not wander around Jiqing City, but returned directly to his room in the Pokémon Center.
"Dad, please wait for me here for a while. I'll call my wife and the others to tell them that I'm safe."
After letting Master Xiong and Xiao Duoqi wait upstairs, Lin Wu quietly went downstairs and used the video phone here to contact Kai Island.
Soon, the call was connected, and Miye's face appeared on the screen.
She looked at the scene behind Lin Wu and said with a smile: "It seems that you have arrived in Jiqing City! In this case, I feel relieved. How does it feel to travel and adventure with Pokémon?"
Lin Wu thought of the outdoor life a few days ago and nodded: "Great!"
Mi Ye smiled and said: "Then enjoy it!"
Lin Wu nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Master's wife, I have something to ask you and the master."
Hearing this, Mi Ye was a little surprised. She nodded: "Ask me!"
Lin Wu: "I want to know how long the lifespan of a Pokémon like the Martial Bear Master is approximately."
Upon hearing this, Miye immediately noticed that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
In the martial arts gym, she was very good at providing psychological counseling to apprentices, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"
Lin Wu hummed and told Miye what happened today.
"That's it." Miye consoled her, "Don't worry, as far as I know, martial arts bear masters have a very long lifespan, almost several times that of us humans!"
Ma Shide was even ready to pass on his two martial arts bear masters to Hyde.
Many trainers in this world do this. For example, some dragon-type Pokémon have extremely long lifespans. After their trainer passes away, they will guard the trainer's descendants and protect them for him.
.
This is also a kind of inheritance.
Of course, Miye didn't say these last words.
Hearing this, Lin Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
If it is several times higher, it means that the forty-year-old martial arts bear master is still very young.
He thanked Miye.
Miye chuckled softly: "If you have anything you don't understand, please contact me!"
"OK, all right."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wu stood in front of the video phone for a while, then adjusted his mood, bought a pack of honey apple pie from the pastry shop next to the Pokémon Center, and took them back with a smile on his face.
Room.
The martial arts bear master moved his nose, looked at the bag, and asked: "This is it?"
"Bought for you!" Lin Wu grinned, opened the package, fed one pie to the martial arts bear master, and then distributed the others to Hot Meow and the bear apprentice.
Seeing the Pokémon eating happily, Lin Wu's worries dissipated a lot.
I think about it every day and dream about it at night.
When he went to bed at night, perhaps influenced by what happened during the day, Lin Wu still had a nightmare.
In his dream, he dreamed that the martial arts master Xiong was gone. He searched alone in the forest for a long time but could not find it.
That kind of panic and loneliness filled Lin Wu's heart, and he couldn't hold it back and cried directly.
Outside the dreamland.
The martial arts bear master who was sleeping suddenly heard a cry.
It opened its eyes and found that it was Xiao Wu who was crying.
While he was crying, he was shouting "Dad, where are you?"
Seeing this, the martial arts bear master knew that he was having a nightmare.
It stepped forward and shook Lin Wu, trying to wake him up: "Xiao Wu?"
Lin Wu opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.
With the help of the night light in the room, he stared blankly at the martial arts bear master in front of him, still not getting out of that bad mood.
The martial arts bear master patted his chest gently and comforted him: "Are you having a nightmare? It's okay, I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."
After hearing this, Lin Wu finally came to his senses.
The next second, his face turned red, and his heart was filled with shame.
Damn you!
How could he have nightmares, cry, and talk in his sleep like a child?
