Late at night, the entire Quartz Main Arena looked very dark. Due to the surrounding cover, there was very little moonlight that could shine in. This made it impossible to imagine that during the day, this place was once a passionate arena for tens of thousands of people.
Even the brazier on the high platform has been extinguished.
"it's over."
Xiaozhi walked to one end of the field, where he once stood, but failed to persist to the end.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Xiaozhi remembered the question that Brother Chi asked him after losing in the quarterfinals.
"What's your future path?"
He has not been watching around these past few days, he has also been thinking about this question in his mind, and now, he already has the answer.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi raised his palms and clenched them into fists in front of him. His bright eyes seemed to light up the entire venue.
"Brother Chi, I have thought about the way forward for the future..."
In the soul space, Chi Ye, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, opened his eyes and stopped shaking for a moment, as if waiting for Xiaozhi's answer.
"I want to travel around the world, keep meeting new Pokémon, keep meeting new partners, keep defeating new powerful enemies, and defeat everything..."
"My Pokémon and I will become the strongest in the world together!"
Finally, he roared loudly towards the original playing field, and his voice even echoed in the air.
"I'm Xiaozhi from this new town, and I want to become a Pokémon Master!"
This dream has been in his heart from beginning to end. It has never changed and will not change in the future.
"I see..."
After a long while, Chi slowly spoke.
This path is different from his. After all, he traveled for a year and then began to practice hard on Baiyin Mountain, constantly strengthening his own strength, but his knowledge of everything in this world is actually very limited.
"This road has a promising future."
Chi just answered so plainly. In the soul space, he had closed his eyes and slowly started to shake again.
"Pickup!"
In reality, the Pikachu on the shoulder also jumped to Xiaozhi's arm, stretched out his paws, and held it in his fist, indicating that they wanted to become the strongest partner.
"And me! And me!"
At this time, a figure suddenly jumped out from nowhere? He stretched out a snow-white slender palm and grasped Xiaozhi's fist firmly.
"Am I really a little blue from the new town? My future path is to travel around the world? See all the beautiful scenery, collect all the treasures? Eat all the delicious food!"
A young girl wearing a white sun hat was already standing beside him, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly.
"Xiaolan? Why are you here?"
Was Xiaozhi caught off guard? He asked subconsciously.
"Hehe? I was passing by~"
Xiaolan just said with a smile, then grabbed Xiaozhi's arm and raised it high together.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi could only smile bitterly and just let her grab him, looking towards the sky in front of him again.
At this time, a dazzling light appeared in the sky in front, gradually illuminating the entire venue, and a fiery red light fell on the faces of the two people.
"Beep!!"
A high-pitched chirping sound came, and the next second, a fiery red giant bird with burning flames fell down? It was full of domineering, it was the flame bird, the alliance mascot.
Seeing this, Xiao Lan stepped forward and gently rubbed the flame bird's cheek.
"Hehe~ Xiaozhi, I won't go back to Zhenxin Town tomorrow? It seems that Boss Sakaki is not in the Kanto region recently. Sister Bilan told me a lot of Team Rocket's bases? Xiaohuo and I are going to explore~ Do you want to come with us?
Let’s go together~”
This time she really passed by the venue? She was going to pick up the Flame Bird for an adventure? She didn't expect to hear Xiaozhi's loud roar, and then she ran out.
"Haha... I will definitely... next time..."
The Rockets don't have any deep grudge against him, not that much.
"Then let's meet again in four months~ You should be going to the Johto area by then, right? I will go too!"
Xiaozhi and Xiaomao have both gone. It would be boring for her to stay alone in the Kanto region. Moreover, these four months are enough for Xiaolan to dig through all the secret bases in the Kanto region.
Finally, Xiao Lan got on the back of the flame bird, and the latter roared loudly again. The flame wings shook and rushed into the sky, making violent roars.
From a distance, you can still hear Xiao Lan’s frightened voice of “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”.
But even if the Flame Bird completely left, the light still shone on Xiaozhi's face and did not dissipate.
On the horizon, the rising sun has slowly risen.
"Come on, the harder you work, the luckier you will be!"
Xiaozhi secretly cheered, then rubbed Pikachu, and finally turned away.
...
...
Time goes back to the days of the Quartz Conference semi-finals.
Johto area, Ruoye Town.
On the second floor of a small house, a black-haired boy was sitting in front of the TV, and the live broadcast of the quartz conference was playing on the screen.
This young man is similar in age to Xiaozhi and looks equally high-spirited.
But his temperament is more like that of Xiao Mao. He also looks a bit handsome, but he looks like he has ADHD and wants to jump around. A bunch of black hair is stubbornly raised in front of his forehead, expressing that he is not a person.
The Lord who can stabilize.
At this moment, the TV was showing a scene of a masked man fighting Chi. It was the battle between the Red Flame Roaring Tiger and the Explosive Mosquito.
"Turtle, is the quality of this year's Quartz Conference so high? These two unseen Pokémon are so impressive..."
While looking at it, he admired it.
This boy's name is Kintaro, a native of Ruoye Town. He turned ten years old last week. He has already booked the initial Pokémon and trainer certification with Dr. Kongmu here, but it will take four months before he can get the approval and start traveling.
Now he is waiting impatiently at home and has no choice but to watch channels from other regions to relieve his boredom.
"Chirp!!"
There is also a little purple monkey Pokémon lying on his shoulder. It has a cute head, flexible movements, short arms and no fingers, but the end of its tail looks like a palm finger, which looks a bit weird.
"Oh! Otaro, do you also want to become such a muscular monkey? You really think the same as me!"
"Snapped!"
Ah Jin pointed at the Roaring Tiger and Explosive Mosquito on the screen, as if he had confirmed the direction of training. This made the long-tailed monster slap his face with its tail, which made him a little angry.
Although he has not yet become an official trainer, this long-tailed monster is already his Pokémon, and has a similar nickname after his name.
Next, Chi on the screen suddenly chose to abstain after easily defeating the Roaring Tiger. This made Ah Jin very dissatisfied. The pants were halfway down, so they were gone?
But the muscle battle on TV also aroused Ah Jin's enthusiasm. He quickly grabbed a yellow and black hat and put it on. He picked up the long-tailed monster and ran towards the stairs. After a while, he had to put on his shoes and go out.
, I plan to go to the wild area at the entrance of the town to find some miscellaneous fish to fight with.
"Hey Ajin, it's going to rain soon, don't go too far!"
A short-haired woman in the living room reminded her.
"I know, mom! Let's go, Otaro!"
"Chirp!"
One person and one monkey, they just walked out the door.
