After applying the medicine, Dr. Ohki gently patted the Rhinoceros' thick back, "Okay, it'll be fine now!"
The horned rhinoceros tried to move and turned its shoulders. The heart-wrenching pain has indeed disappeared.
As a result, Xiao Ye saw that the behemoth in front of her had no irritability or anger in his expression, his eyebrows were relaxed, and his simple and satisfied smile was a bit dazzling.
After waving away the calmed Rhinoceros, Dr. Oak turned his attention to the children beside him.
Dr. Omu felt inexplicably that this child seemed to be no different from ordinary children, but also seemed a little different. Both his clothes and appearance were ordinary, but his expression when facing the Rhinoceros showed no fear or panic, and was as calm as if he was looking at the air. And the frantic horned rhinoceros miraculously calmed down because of his few words.
Although the main reason why Xiaoye was so calm was that she could avoid the Rhinoceros' slow fist at any time.
Walking side by side on the jungle path, the two chatted.
From the conversation, Dr. Omu learned the name of this somewhat unfamiliar child - and that the child turned out to be a girl. This really surprised Dr. Ohki.
The calm look on her face when facing the violent Rhinoceros didn't look like a girl at all, but looked a bit like a boy she knew well.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you in Zhenxin Town before." Dr. Omu asked casually.
"Actually, I just moved to Zhenxin Town." Xiaoye explained with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Dr. Omu."
If you think about it carefully, Dr. Oki is the first plot character that Xiaoye has seen on the screen. He is no different from the kind and energetic old man in the anime.
I wonder if Xiaozhi has set out on a trip with that Pikachu now.
Along the way, Dr. Ohki chatted a lot with the girl he just met and was almost mistaken for a teenager. What makes Dr. Oak happy is that this child seems to know a lot about Pokémon, and he doesn't show any confusion when Dr. Oak occasionally mentions some rare species. For a doctor who studies Pokémon, the love of Pokémon among the younger generation is the most pleasant thing.
Dr. Omu asked Xiaoye how she realized that the Rhinoceros was injured just now?
The answer given by Xiaoye was very straightforward. You can see it by observing the actions.
If your back is indeed injured, your running posture will inevitably be affected to some extent. However, how to distinguish such subtle differences in movements in such a crisis state? It might be possible to use a camera to record it and slow down the research - or perhaps only a trainer who has experienced many battles would be able to detect it.
However, Dr. Oak was not very surprised.
It is not uncommon for children to possess extraordinary insights from an early age, especially the offspring of powerful trainers. Moreover, Dr. Oki has long been surprised that a young man of the same age as his grandson can do the same thing.
Back in Zhenxin Town, the enthusiastic Dr. Omu invited Xiaoye to visit his research institute. Xiaoye's goal has always been to learn more about this world, so she naturally agreed happily after thanking her.
The building of Dr. Omu's laboratory does not occupy a large area. The simple room is filled with workbenches and various precision instruments that Xiaoye has never seen before. As for the uneaten instant noodles in the corner... Xiaoye thought it was better to ignore them.
Compared with the ordinary and narrow indoor environment, the backyard of the institute is a very spacious place for Pokémon to live and play.
Calling it a backyard is not quite appropriate, because the entire hill is within the scope of the institute.
It is obvious that Dr. Oak is more concerned about whether the Pokémon live comfortably than his own research environment. Just like in his memory, this is a doctor who is full of love for Pokémon.
"These are Pokémon stored here by trainers traveling around the world." Dr. Oki proudly introduced the backyard of his research institute to Xiaoye. Most of the trainers who came from Zhenxin Town are very good, and the Pokémon they have collected are also rich in variety.
Looking around, there are countless Pokémon running or taking a nap in the mountains and fields. Not only common Pokémon in the Kanto region, but also Pokémon unique to Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and even Unova can be seen here.
"Speaking of which, a boy sent me a rare Pokémon a few days ago!" When talking about Pokémon, Dr. Oak looked as proud and excited as a child, "Let's go, I'll take you Go check it out!”
"Thank you." Xiaoye greeted with a smile.
Is it really okay to be so open to a stranger you just met? This old man seemed to have never thought about the possibility that he coveted his research results and deliberately approached him.
However, it's not surprising.
After all, this is a completely different world from the previous life. This town is even more beautiful and pure, almost like a Taoyuan Township.
Walking towards the pond, you can faintly see another figure beside the pond. A boy with brown hair who is about the same age as Saya.
"Xiao Mao!" Dr. Omu called the boy's name.
"Grandpa, you're here." Hearing Dr. Omu's voice, the young man immediately stood up and looked here.
Xiaomao, is he?
This is undoubtedly another familiar name. The grandson of Dr. Oak, Xiaomao, is the fierce rival of the protagonist Xiaozhi in the original work.
The handsome young man in front of her was younger than the image in Xiaoye's memory. He was probably about the same age as herself, eight or nine years old.
As Dr. Omu walked over, Xiaoye received Xiaomao's curious and inquiring eyes as expected.
"This is my grandson Xiao Mao." Dr. Omu introduced with a smile, and then turned to his grandson, "Xiao Mao, this child is Xiao Ye who just moved to Zhenxin Town. He helped me a lot in the forest just now. You will go to school together after the winter vacation, so you need to get along well."
The brown-haired boy nodded and extended his hand to Xiaoye in a friendly manner, "Hello, please give me some advice."
"Please give me more advice." Xiaoye also responded with a smile.
The Xiao Mao in front of him was not as arrogant as he remembered, but more like a more mature and ordinary boy. Maybe because in front of his grandfather? Or, in fact, Xiaomao only puts on an exaggerated and arrogant face when facing Xiaozhi?
Speaking of which, Xiaozhi and Xiaomao have a really good relationship. After all, they are childhood sweethearts.
Xiaoye put on a standard smile and let her thoughts run thousands of miles away.
"Are you taking observation notes? Not bad." Seeing the notebook in Xiaomao's hand, Dr. Omu praised it a few times and pointed to the corner of the pond, "Xiaoye, look."
Looking in the direction of Dr. Oak's finger, there was a light blue Pokémon lying on the lotus leaf in the corner. It is small, with a crayfish-like appearance, and its large shiny claws reflect light.
Pyropod, a Pokémon from the Kalos region, has a water attribute.
The excited Dr. Oak introduced this Pokémon with a proud smile. The amount of knowledge this senior scholar possesses is unimaginable to Xiao Ye, and hearing him introduce Pokémon face to face is an opportunity that many teenagers dream of.
When talking about Pokémon-related topics, Xiao Mao couldn't help but join in. After chatting for a while, the three of them quickly became familiar with each other - most people in this world are kind and honest. He is almost never wary of strangers.
Perhaps because they are the same age and have a deep interest in Pokémon - even though they are strangers they have just met, the conversation between Xiaoye and Xiaomao still went on smoothly.
Friendships are always easy to establish among children. Even Xiao Mao, who is a bit like a little adult, quickly accepted Xiao Ye, his new friend.
So, it was just like this, an ordinary and nothing special encounter and acquaintance.
Maybe Xiaoye herself didn’t realize it clearly——
On January 7, 1999 in the Elven Calendar, she met the people who were supposed to be "across the screen".
This is the starting point where the Beidou Tianxuan Star of the past and the Star Rain Night of today began to merge into this world.
====================
small theater:
Xiaomao: (friendly) Hello, please give me some advice. [Is this guy... a boy or a girl? It seems that you have to judge by listening to the sound. 】
Xiaoye: (smile) Please give me more advice.
Xiaomao: (suspiciously) […can’t hear it. 】
