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 arena, 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!"
He finally roared towards the original playing field, his voice even echoing in the air.
"I, Ash, from my new town, 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 while, Chi slowly spoke.
This path is different from his. After all, he traveled for a year and then began to practice hard on Silver Mountain, constantly strengthening his own strength. However, his knowledge of everything in this world is actually very limited.
“This path has a promising future.”
Chi just answered so plainly. In the soul space, he had closed his eyes and slowly swayed again.
"Pickup!"
In reality, Pikachu on the shoulder also jumped to Xiaozhi's arm, stretched out his paws, and held it in his fist, signaling that they would become the strongest partner.
"And me! And me!"
At this time, a figure suddenly jumped out from nowhere, stretched out a white and slender palm, and firmly grasped Xiaozhi's fist.
"I am Xiaolan from the new town. My future path is to travel around the world, see all the beautiful scenery, collect all the treasures, and eat all the delicious food!"
An energetic girl wearing a white sun hat was already standing beside him, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly.
"Xiaolan? Why are you here?"
Xiaozhi was caught off guard and asked subconsciously.
"Hehe, I'm 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 at 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 the 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 its body burning with flames fell down. It was full of domineering, it was the flame bird, the mascot of the alliance.
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. Boss Sakaki seems to be away from the Kanto region recently. Sister Bilan told me a lot of Team Rocket's bases. Xiaohuo and I are planning to go on an adventure~ Do you want to come with us? Let’s go together~”
This time she really passed by the venue, preparing to pick up the Flame Bird for an adventure. Unexpectedly, she dared to hear Xiaozhi's loud roar, and then ran out.
"Haha... I will definitely... next time..."
The Rockets don't have a deep grudge against him, not really.
"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.
In the distance, you can still hear Xiao Lan's frightened voice of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
But even if the Flame Bird completely left, the light still shone on Xiaozhi's face and did not dissipate.
On the horizon, the 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 Final Four.
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 boy 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 Exploding Muscle 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.
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 purple little 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? It's exactly what I thought!"
"Snapped!"
Ajin 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, feeling 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. , planning 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 him.
"I know, Mom! Let's go, Otaro!"
"Chirp!"
One person and one monkey, just walked out the door.
