"What's wrong?"
Seeing Serena next to him suddenly coughing continuously and her face turning flustered and rosy, Xiaozhi couldn't help but wonder.
Speaking of which, during this period of getting along, I always felt that Serena would often behave strangely for no reason.
It's like talking to someone.
"Is it possible?"
Xiaozhi's heart skipped a beat, and a bold guess suddenly appeared.
In the past, he had met many trainers who had bosses from other worlds living in their heads, or who had strange talents and abilities.
Could it be that there is someone living in Serena's mind?
"If this is the case, it can be explained."
Xiaozhi nodded, suddenly enlightened.
No wonder Serena's command process in previous battles was obviously immature as a novice trainer, but the response strategies she actually displayed were impeccable and as perfect as a machine.
It would make sense if there was a big boss behind the scenes to provide simultaneous guidance.
But if Serena doesn't say anything, Xiaozhi doesn't plan to ask questions. Everyone has their own privacy.
Xiaozhi has seen this type of strange trainer a lot, and he feels quite familiar with them.
If he knew that there was a chattering system in Serena's mind right now, and she was constantly making plans and thinking about how to attack him.
I guess it will become exciting!
Of course, Xiaozhi's understanding of strategy means the same thing as defeat.
After a while, the two of them had returned to the bamboo forest area.
And along the way, we also saw a lot of gray-black caterpillars, and there were quite a few scattered at the bottom of the bamboo.
"Is this the house bug in the Carlos area, the white butterfly?"
Xiaozhi put away the illustrated book and understood in his heart.
Like the green caterpillars in its hometown, it also has a very short evolution cycle and can quickly evolve into a beautiful butterfly Pokémon.
But generally bugs should live in dense forests. Bamboo forests are where pandas live.
Moreover, the mental state of these white butterfly insects is not very good, lying on the ground quite depressed.
Xiaozhi didn't realize it, so he walked ahead to explore the way.
Serena followed behind. At this moment, her brain was a little confused by the impact of the word "baby".
"Now is the time for two people to date! Please don't miss this rare opportunity."
The system is still outputting.
Serena wanted to explain to the system that they were in distress now and were not dating alone.
Although if two people act together, it seems to be no different from dating.
Looking at the back in front of her, Serena took courage and took a deep breath.
Just in time, take advantage of this opportunity!
"That Xiaozhi, do you remember when you were a child?"
Serena couldn't help but ask. She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
It's just that the Citron brothers and sisters are almost always around, which makes Serena a little shy to speak.
In this case, it seems that he came close to joining the team specifically for Xiaozhi.
"When you were a kid?"
Xiaozhi didn't look back, just thinking that Serena was chatting casually.
There are almost no traces of human movement here, so he still has to push aside the obstacles of bamboo leaves and shrubs in front.
"It was when I was a kid! In the Kanto region, the summer camp organized by Dr. Oak!"
Serena couldn't help but increase her tone, her face tense and expectant.
Xiaozhi shouldn't really forget himself, right?
"Dr. Oak's summer camp? Hey, Serena, how do you know?"
This topic aroused Xiaozhi's curiosity, and he couldn't help but stop his movements and turned his head.
Serena is from Kalos, how does she know about the summer camp far away in her hometown?
I remember that when he was six or seven years old, which was probably Yurika's age, he had participated in a summer camp organized by Dr. Ohki.
There was an episode at that time.
In the summer camp of the first year, I was too excited the night before. When I was about to leave the next day, I suddenly had a fever and fainted, and I missed that summer camp directly.
Later, in the second year, he went to bed early and got up early every day, and ate on time, just to prevent himself from any accidents.
Later, of course, I naturally participated in the holiday summer camp and gained a lot of good memories.
"Ah, that guy Xiaomao was competing with me to find Pokémon~"
Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but recall a lot.
But the scene that appears most often in my memory is undoubtedly that of the arrogant and domineering Xiao Mao.
At that time, they were still a pair of enemies who quarreled and competed every day. Even Dr. Omu had a headache.
Seeing Xiaozhi remembering the summer camp, Serena's eyes were bright and she clapped her hands in front of her.
"Then you didn't meet any new friends at the summer camp?!"
"new friend?"
Xiaozhi scratched his head and thought hard, his brows furrowed.
He remembered that he and Xiao Mao had a lot of fun at that time, but other than that, he really didn't have much memory.
After all, it is a memory from childhood.
"Ah, that's it"
Seeing this, Serena was immediately disappointed, pursed her lips and lowered her head.
"By the way, I haven't said anything yet, Serena, how did you know about Dr. Oak's summer camp?"
Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask again.
Serena could only grit her teeth. Since Xiaozhi couldn't remember clearly, she might as well tell it herself.
"Because at that time, I also participated."
"Yeah~!"
But just as he opened his mouth, the cry of the little arrow sparrow came from the front.
The latter is small in size, much smaller than other juvenile housebirds, and can easily fly between bamboo forests.
"Oh~ Little Arrow Bird, did you find something?!"
This interruption instantly attracted Xiaozhi's attention, and he turned his head to look ahead again.
And looking at the anxious expression on the little arrow sparrow, it seemed that something happened ahead.
"Let's go too, Serena!"
Xiaozhi's face tightened, and he quickly quickened his pace and walked ahead.
"The one Xiaozhi."
Serena was about to wave, but Xiaozhi had already run away.
She had no choice but to suppress her emotions temporarily. Now was really not a good time to talk about this topic.
After regaining her composure, Serena quickly followed Xiaozhi's pace.
Following the guidance of the little arrow sparrow, the two came to an open space surrounded by bamboos deep in the bamboo forest.
The one in front was obviously not a Citron or a Bubble Frog, and Xiaozhi even smelled an unpleasant smell of engine oil mixed with cigarettes.
The two quickly lowered their bodies among the bushes and looked curiously.
But he saw a semi-convertible off-road truck parked in the bamboo forest, with iron cages placed one after another on the cargo floor behind it, very densely packed.
Almost every cage contains a Pokémon, lying pitifully in it, with whining sounds heard from time to time.
Most of them are white butterfly pupae, with gray round heads, and their bodies are wrapped in fluffy white pupa cocoons with colorful powder on them.
This is the evolved form of the white butterfly, an intermediate form similar to the armored pupa.
Not only that, there is also a rare red panda in the middle cage.
In front of the truck, there was a short and sturdy man leaning against him, taking a rest while smoking.
Apparently, this is a Pokémon poacher!
