Zhenxin Town, a private house on the second floor of a certain building.
early morning.
"Xiaozhi, get up quickly, you are going to be late again!!"
The sound of Hanako's voice coming from downstairs made Xiaozhi, who was lying on the bed with a very messy and inelegant sleeping posture, suddenly startled. His back stood up like a corpse and his face was panicked.
Today is the day for him to receive the initial Pokémon, so he can't be late!
"Pickup...?"
Beside the bed, Pikachu also yawned, raised his head and opened his eyes slightly.
Then, he slowly closed it again and continued to sleep soundly.
Xiaozhi has been a trainer for more than a year after receiving the initial Pokémon and traveling.
"Xiaogang, Xiaoxia, get up quickly..."
So Xiaozhi stood up, rubbing his eyes sleepily, and when he spoke subconsciously, he finally woke up completely.
Familiar furniture arrangements around...
It's a really new town here, he's back home.
The fierce battles at the Silver Conference, and even the even more intense King Challenge... are completely a thing of the past.
Xiaogang and Xiaoxia also temporarily returned to their hometowns and did not return to Zhenxin Town with him.
"It's been a long time since I've been like this..."
Xiaozhi was a little uncomfortable with being alone again.
Finally, Ash and Pikachu yawned, and after lingering for a long time, they finally walked out of the room.
"Morning, mom, magic wall doll~~"
Looking at the woman who was busy in the kitchen and the magic wall doll cleaning carefully in front of the dining table, Xiaozhi said hello.
"Bali~~"
It's just that this magic wall doll is swinging from side to side in a sweeping posture, but there is nothing in its hand, and there is no trace of the broom at all.
Early in the morning, the Magic Wall Doll performed a non-physical stunt show for Xiaozhi.
"Really, I just sleep in as soon as I get home..."
Seeing that Xiaozhi's face was still dazed, Hanako placed the breakfast milk and sandwiches on the table and murmured with muscle memory.
On a table in the living room next to him, Ash's trophies and badges were spread out and arranged neatly.
Eight badges for the Kanto region, four badges for the Orange Islands, eight badges for the Johto region...
Similarly, the top eight medals of the Quartz League, the championship medals of the Orange League and the Johto League are also placed together.
Even if it is wiped repeatedly, it can reflect dazzling white light!
"hey-hey...!"
Seeing these trophies from a distance, Xiaozhi was eating his breakfast with an inadvertent giggle on his lips.
"Xiao Zhi, didn't you make an appointment to see Dr. Oak at 8 o'clock yesterday? Now there are only 3 minutes left~!"
Hanako's voice shocked Xiaozhi again.
By the way, I have an appointment to go to the research institute today.
"Then I'll leave first!!"
Then Xiaozhi kneaded the breakfast into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, picked up Pikachu, who was still chewing slowly, with his other hand, and ran directly out of the house.
"Pica...!"
Pikachu is reluctant to part with the food on the table.
It’s rare to have a meal of rice from home!
"This guy Xiaozhi..."
Seeing her son in a hurry, Hanako could only hold his forehead and shake his head.
Even though he became the winner of the Alliance Tournament, he even became a king trainer comparable to the king of the alliance.
This seems to be a great honor, and Hanako doesn't know much about it.
But in terms of living habits, he is still a frizzy child.
"Bali~~"
The Magic Wall Doll also shrugged helplessly and sighed, looking old-fashioned.
...
Omu Research Institute, in front of the main entrance under the stairs.
Xiaozhi slowly pushed open the iron gate.
There were no two familiar figures beside him, which made Xiaozhi always feel that something was strange.
Speaking of which, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia have not returned to Nibi Gym and Hualan Gym for a long time.
The ticket given by Dr. Oki - the celebration time of the Water City will start in ten days...
Now, it should be nine days.
After returning from Baiyin Town, everyone agreed to go home to rest for a week, and then go to Dry Leaf City to meet up one week later, and finally go to the Water City for vacation together.
Xiaozhi shook his head. He needed to overcome this overreliance on his companions.
"Let's go, Pikachu."
At this moment, Xiaozhi has stored all his Pokémon back, and they are probably all staying in the backyard now.
He only had one Pikachu with him.
Soon, one person and one mouse entered the interior of the Damu Research Institute.
That guy Xiaomao went directly to the Fangyuan area after the King of Heaven exhibition match. The connection was seamless and he didn't return to Zhenxin Town at all.
"Xiao Mao..."
Although Dr. Oki doesn't say it on the surface, he probably also wants to spend some time with his grandson, right?
Now, only Dr. Omu and Xiaojian are managing the entire Omu Research Institute of the University of Nottingham, including a vast backyard forest and mountain area at the back.
As soon as they arrived at the lobby, the two of them were already waiting here.
"Congratulations, Xiaozhi, I saw your amazing performance on TV~!"
Xiaojian congratulated loudly.
He originally wanted to go to Baiyin Town with Dr. Omu to watch the battle.
However, one person had to be left to guard the institute, so Xiaojian had no choice but to stay here and watch the live broadcast on TV.
Now Xiaojian has become Dr. Omu's official disciple.
"haha, thank you..."
Xiaozhi rubbed the back of his head, and just as he was about to say something, Dr. Oak rushed in front of him.
Their faces were close to each other, their eyes were extremely fervent, and their hot breathing even confused Xiaozhi's face.
"Hurry up Xiaozhi, let me see your big baby!!"
Dr. Ohki rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his palms together. It looked like he was going to do something serious today.
"Hey, that kid Xiaomao is so bad that he just left..."
Xiaozhi was still thinking about coming in and comforting Dr. Oak first.
"Xiao Mao? Who is Xiao Mao? Hurry up and release your Dark Lugia!!"
Ever since he saw Lugia's appearance in the Heavenly King Challenge, this is the only thing left in Dr. Ohki's mind.
As for the grandson...?
Since Dark Lugia lives in the Silver Feather Pendant and does not communicate with the computer, Xiaozhi must come in person.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi could only hold his own silver feather.
Boo hoo hoo...!
The next moment, the majestic ocean breath came and enveloped the entire institute hall.
A slender blue-black body continued to expand and expand, and finally landed in front of Xiaozhi.
Dark Lugia!
As soon as they appeared on the stage, the sense of oppression unique to the ancient gods shocked Dr. Oki and Xiaojian in front of them.
His face was even more shocked by the close contact with such a descendant of a god.
"Hehe...I am Damu, not a bad person..."
Dr. Oak tentatively stepped forward and reached out to stroke Dark Lugia's feathers.
His eyes were so hot that he wanted to swallow the entire Lugia in front of him.
The kind that doesn't even spit out any bones.
This is a common problem among researchers. When faced with such an existence, everyone will have this look on their face.
