But compared to the outcome of the battle, Xiaozhi's eyes fell on Ah Yun, who was hugging his emperor Nabo.
While Emperor Nabo defeated two, Shinji did not take back the defeated little Flame Monkey.
Letting the latter lie there with bruises all over his body, he just looked to the side with an indifferent expression, not paying any attention to the little flame monkey at all.
Xiaozhi knew this look, it was a complete disappointment, and he already regarded the little flame monkey as an irrelevant existence.
Until the end of the battle, when Shinji took back the little flame monkey, he did not go to the temporary treatment center next to the arena, but turned around and walked slowly outside the arena.
Isn't this guy going to...?!
"Xiaoguang, wait a moment, I have something to do..."
Xiaozhi frowned and quickly followed up. Half of the discussion with Xiaoguang on the next tactics could only be put aside temporarily.
"Ash?"
Xiaoguang looked at it in confusion.
The continuous fighting at this moment also brought this doubles tournament to its final conclusion.
The two teams that entered the finals have also come out, one is the combination of Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang, and the other is the combination of Ayu and Shinji.
There was still plenty of time, and the official competition team even gave the contestants and spectators half an hour.
Half an hour later, the finals will officially start... Before that, Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang were still discussing the next tactics.
"It should be related to the Little Flame Monkey, right...?"
Xiaogang and Mai'er were also nearby to help with suggestions. Seeing Xiaozhi's sudden departure, Xiaogang narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
In the battle just now, he was opposite the little flame monkey, and he was the one who observed it most clearly.
Shinji's expression earlier didn't look like he was joking...
"Anyway, time is running out! Xiaoguang, let's quickly think about tactics and give those two people a slap in the face in the finals!"
Mai'er said enthusiastically, hoping that the two of them could avenge their Yongjira.
...
...
Following Shinji's footsteps, Xiaozhi followed him all the way outside the venue of the Family Fate Magnificent Conference.
Even if we have reached the wild woods nearby, this is not the direction to the surrounding elf center.
This made Xiaozhi immediately say:
"Hey, are you going to take the little flame monkey to the elf center for treatment? The elf center is over here!"
However, Shinji ignored Xiaozhi's words. He had noticed an uninvited guest following him just now.
As for treatment...
"Come out, little flame monkey!"
Shinji raised his hand and directly released the little flame monkey.
Since the injuries from the previous battle have not yet recovered, the latter is still covered in bruises at this moment, and even the burning scale of the flames at the tail has become much weaker.
Of course, the Little Flame Monkey is different from the Little Fire Dragon. Whether or not the flames on its tail burn has nothing to do with its vitality.
Even when the little flame monkey is sleeping, it will actively extinguish the flame.
"Chirp...!?"
Seeing being released by his trainer, the little flame monkey still tried to get closer.
Just seeing Shinji's cold eyes made the latter feel a little afraid and froze in place.
The next moment, Shinji untied the elf ball in his hand, threw it away like trash, and said coldly:
"You can go now, little Flame Monkey."
The little Flame Monkey at this moment is no longer his Pokémon.
As for treatment...just release it, and the wild Pokémon will find a way to treat it.
"Chirp...?"
The little flame monkey was stunned at first, not knowing what Shinji meant.
But in my mind, I vaguely felt that the bond between myself and Shinji seemed to be completely disconnected in an instant, and became very strange.
This caused him to quickly jump in front of Shinji, trying to stop him and retain him.
"Let's fend for ourselves...Huh, I also saw a ghost back then, and I actually had expectations for you."
But Shinji's words were still extremely cold.
He first saw the Little Flame Monkey on the edge of a cliff, when the latter was being besieged by a group of wild meerkats.
On the verge of despair, the little flame monkey burst out with extremely hot flames, driving all the enemies away.
"The mutated fire characteristic...?"
Shinji was not a novice trainer, so he naturally recognized the latter's power at a glance.
If you can master this power, it will be an extremely powerful boost...
However, since the journey, the little flame monkey has never used this power in front of him.
This also made Shinji completely lose his patience... He had already given the little flame monkey enough opportunities.
Since it cannot meet the standard, simply abandon it.
"snort...!"
Glancing at the little flame monkey who was pulling up his trousers with tears in the corners of his eyes, Shinji's expression did not change at all.
Still walking towards the venue, the little flame monkey who stayed on the spot fell down.
The injuries were so severe that it was difficult for the latter to even move and remain standing.
...
"That's enough Shinji, you've gone too far!!"
After watching this scene from beginning to end, Xiaozhi, who had never chosen to speak, finally reached the limit of his patience.
He immediately ran to the little flame monkey, gently helped the latter up, and then looked angrily in Shinji's direction.
"Little Flame Monkey has obviously been working hard for you!!"
This sentence actually reminded Shinji of the previous battle. The Flame Monkey, who was already in the wind and would be completely defeated by poison in the next second, was still trying his best to light up the flames...
But soon, he closed his eyes and completely forgot about this scene.
"If you can't become stronger, everything else is a meaningless excuse."
Shinji turned to look at Xiaozhi, his expression still cold and cold, and there was no other thought in his mind except for being obsessed with getting stronger.
The way Xiaozhi interacted intimately with Pokémon made him frown in disgust.
"Really...I don't agree with your path."
However, at this time, Xiaozhi shook his head, and his originally angry expression became much calmer.
In his heart, he always firmly believes that trainers and Pokémon are bound... and even the power of the bond he masters is the best proof.
But people like Shinji can't change their minds with just words.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi touched the little flame monkey's head and said softly:
"How about it, little Flame Monkey, the game starts in 10 minutes... Are you willing to cooperate with me? Let's show this guy your true power together!"
He extended his palm to the little flame monkey.
"Hmm...?"
Xiaozhi's sudden invitation made the little flame monkey look a little dull.
Under Xiaozhi's fiery gaze, he subconsciously temporarily forgot the loss and despair of being abandoned by Shinji, and actually nodded his head solemnly.
Tsk boom...!
The flames on his tail began to burn fiercely again, as if he was desperately trying to prove that he was not the "useless thing" that Shinji said.
"snort...!"
However, Shinji didn't pay any attention to the fiery look on the little flame monkey's face, and just turned around and walked away.
