In the dusk, the red-haired maid in gorgeous clothes walked alone on the shore with her head lowered.
The lonely shadow stretched slantingly under the setting sun.
"?"
From time to time, she turned her head and looked behind her, feeling as if someone was following her.
But when I turned my head, I couldn't see any trace.
Until the red-haired maid came to a deserted alley corner.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the grass nearby and flew toward her.
The speed was as fast as lightning, and she didn't even react before she was thrown to the ground.
"caught you!!"
At this moment, Xiaozhi used his hands to form an embrace, hugging the maid tightly, pressing her under him, and letting the latter continue to struggle in his hands.
It's just that the extremely powerful binding force made it impossible for her to escape.
The touch from the body on his hands also made Xiaozhi's eyes brighten.
"really..."
It clearly looks like the body of a human woman, but when touched... it is obviously much wider than a human body.
The texture is not that of human skin, but more like some kind of very soft feathers, as smooth as glazed jade.
"Pickup...?"
In the eyes of Pikachu next to him, Xiaozhi's hands clearly did not touch the latter's body at this moment, but hovered a few inches away from its surface, but he still grasped the entity.
"Wu... Wu..."
The sound the red-haired maid made while struggling was not a human voice, but a Pokémon cry.
As she struggled, her entire body flickered like breathing, switching back and forth between the red-haired maid and a red-and-white Pokémon.
It is the image of Latias shown by the curator before.
"Calm down, Latias, I'm here to help you!!"
Xiaozhi quickly spoke softly, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible.
Of course, the strength in his hands has not been removed, and he is still holding her tightly.
The feeling of holding it up... gave Xiaozhi the feeling of holding up his own little Lugia, like holding a big goose that was jumping around and flapping its wings.
This Pokémon is too timid. It will become wary when it is ten meters away, and will turn around and run away if it gets closer.
Time waits for no one now. Seeing that it is getting late, Xiaozhi can only take some slightly rough methods.
...
"Latias, you wanted to ask me for help before, right? I have no ill intentions and I am willing to help you!!"
Xiaozhi quickly explained.
"Pika pika...!"
Pikachu jumped on Xiaozhi's head and explained more convincingly.
With these words, Latias finally began to stop struggling and rioting, and his body shape was completely fixed in the appearance of his true beast form.
Latias's IQ is not inferior to humans and can understand what Xiaozhi means.
"Help...brother..."
At this time, a soft and weak voice suddenly appeared in Xiaozhi's mind.
Telepathy.
This is the exclusive ability of legendary Pokémon. Of course, some super-intelligent Pokémon with super attributes can also complete telepathy.
However, Latias's telepathy was obviously not yet proficient, and his voice was intermittent.
elder brother?
Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
Brother, I should be talking about the captured Latios.
Seeing that the latter did not continue to struggle, Xiaozhi slowly released his hand and stood up from Latias.
"Wu..."
Latias also let out a soft whisper and floated up.
Only then did Xiaozhi secretly look at the latter.
The body structure is similar to Latios, like a small red and white airplane.
But Latias' body is slightly smaller, with a slender neck, and her eyes still have the same amber pupils as when she was a human maid.
The small head has a pair of white sharp horns.
This is a very cute looking Pokémon, really like a little sister.
Of course, once she turns into a red-haired maid, her temperament becomes like that of a sister who is a few years older.
At this time, an intermittent gentle telepathy appeared in Xiaozhi's mind again.
"My name is... Latias..."
Hearing this, Xiaozhi also smiled and stretched out his palm.
"My name is Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, please give me your advice!"
Seeing this, Latias tentatively stretched out his little red paw and lightly touched Ash's palm.
"Don't worry, Latias, I will help you rescue Latios...your brother!"
Xiaozhi patted his chest and said bluntly in a deep voice.
"Wu..."
This confident look immediately made Latias's eyes watery, with tears faintly gleaming at the edges, as if he had finally grasped a life-saving straw.
She originally came to this city with her brother and lived a carefree life.
His older brother, Latios, loves fighting and often fights with wild Pokémon around the area.
And she has no interest in fighting. Instead, she yearns for the atmosphere of human urban life.
So Latias would often look like a human maid and go to the city to play.
This red-haired maid's appearance is not an imitation of the museum director's granddaughter Canon...
It's Qanon's mother, Zeng Jin, who looked like a girl.
This Latias is not the first time he has landed on the island.
As a result, today the brother and sister suddenly sensed that the city's heart drops seemed to have moved away from their original positions.
This is a suffocating and weird feeling.
Latios had a vague premonition of a bad future, so he rushed to the garden alone to look for clues.
And asked his sister Latias to go to the city to find a boy with an electric mouse.
After a brief encounter, Latios knew that Ash was a just trainer.
And he is extremely powerful, so he might be able to help.
What happened next was that Latios was captured by the two female thieves in the back garden...
...
"Wu~~!!"
At this time, Latias's eyes in front of him suddenly burst into a strange blue light, startling Ash and Pikachu.
The next moment, the world in the sight of Xiaozhi and Pikachu, after a while, turned into a completely different scene.
"Is this... what Latios can see...?"
Xiaozhi remembered what the curator said that the two Pokémon were closely connected and had the ability to share each other's current vision.
Latias acted as an intermediary and shared the scene with himself.
This is a dark alleyway under an arch bridge, close to a water stream.
But this kind of terrain is almost everywhere in the Water City, and it's impossible to tell where it is.
Next to them, you can see two blonde and silver-haired sisters taking a rest.
It seemed that these two people did not plan to go to the museum immediately, but were hibernating for the time being.
But judging from the confident looks of the two of them, they probably didn't know about their plan yet, and their group had already found out about it.
