After a day of exercise, Charmander sat on the roof, leaning against Xiaoye and enjoying the pleasant cool breeze.
The distant and clear flute sound slowly flowed out from the light green bamboo flute in Xiaoye's hand. Wandering amid the calm and gentle melody, the orange-red little dragon couldn't help but narrow his eyes in pleasure.
Sure enough, I like the sound of the master's flute the most. Immersed in the sweet melody, Charmander's tired body gradually relaxed.
Xiao Charmander has always felt that the sound of Xiaoye's flute has a warm power that can make people calm down, just like the sunshine in winter, bringing that warmth into the soul. Xiaoye's own breath also has the same feeling as the melody of the bamboo flute - peaceful, warm, giving people a sense of solid security.
Therefore, Charmander has unreservedly trusted and relied on Xiao Ye since he was born. As long as Xiao Ye is by his side, Charmander will not have a trace of fear even when facing a terrifying enemy like a Rhinoceros.
Although part of the reason may be that his master is better at fighting than him.
While trusting Xiao Ye wholeheartedly, the naturally aggressive Charmander also longs to stand side by side with his master one day. I am still too weak now. There are many beings much stronger than myself around me, and I cannot compare with the truly strong ones.
So, become stronger!
Strong enough to defeat Yan, defeat the horned rhinoceros, strong enough to become the master's power! Charmander looked at the sky, clenched his fists in an imposing manner, and set a goal for himself.
The sound of the flute stopped quietly, Xiaoye turned her head and looked at the orange dragon with a smile, "We are going to travel in one week, are you ready?"
"Ah woo!" The little fire dragon waved his little fist full of fighting spirit, his sky blue eyes sparkling.
After the age of ten, you can end your compulsory education and start traveling as a trainer. Xiao Ye has already told Charmander about this. This lively little guy is not worried at all about whether he will be unable to adapt to the sudden change in the environment. He is full of expectations for the outside world and the powerful enemies outside.
Set out on a trip, capture Pokémon, challenge gyms, collect badges, and then participate in the league competition - an ordinary but extraordinary journey that every trainer will undertake. For Xiaoye, who has witnessed the growth history of a boy who is forever ten years old on the screen, the coming time is both real and full of illusion.
The year in Zhenxin Town was incredibly peaceful. Make friends, learn knowledge, and cultivate Charmander, as if Xiaoye is really just a boy waiting to go on a journey.
But Xiaoye will never forget her original purpose - to become stronger and explore the reason why she came to this world.
And, find a way back.
Even if the world is incredibly beautiful, even if getting along with Pokémon is such a pleasant experience, even if becoming a trainer is indeed the life Xiaoye longs for, even if there are Xiaozhi, Xiaomao, Xiaoyun, and Dr. Oak here. , and Xiaotian; if she had a choice, Xiaoye would definitely return to her original world without hesitation.
That chaotic, cruel world, but with its most important people.
However, before seeing that dream, this goal probably cannot be achieved. The "boy" in white stared at the distant skyline and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Feeling the cuffs being gently pulled, Xiaoye turned back to look at Charmander with her standard and gentle smile, "What's wrong?"
Charmander blinked, showing a cute smile, and gradually tightened his grip on Xiaoye's sleeves.
It's this feeling again.
Charmander, who was smiling brightly, felt a little uneasy in his heart for no reason. Although he didn't know why he was worried, maybe it was the inherent sensitivity of Pokémon that made Charmander detect some subtle violations.
The master is very strong, or in other words, too strong. He always smiles calmly and steadily, as if all difficulties can be easily solved. The little fire dragon who grew up under Xiao Ye's protection could not see Xiao Ye's thoughts, but occasionally felt that his master and the world always felt incompatible, as if he would leave at any time and disappear without a trace - this is the only thing that has been with Xiao Ye since birth. Together, the details that Charmander can feel are almost telepathic.
Charmander, who was thinking wildly with a smile on his face, was suddenly interrupted from his thoughts when a hand from Heaven rubbed his head vigorously, and he looked at Xiaoye in confusion.
"You are my first partner, and I will rely on you from now on, Charmander." The smiling girl in white said these words.
The orange dragon was stunned for a second.
Then, he nodded seriously and solemnly.
The day of departure is approaching and primary school classes have ended. The ten-year-old boys and girls who have finally graduated from compulsory education cannot contain their excitement and are looking forward to the moment when they become trainers. Not surprisingly, Dr. Oki saw all "free trainers" on the five exit questionnaires, so he made careful preparations for this day.
Freelance trainers are trainers who do not have a fixed schedule or job, and their main business is traveling and challenging arena tournaments, various pavilions and official leagues, and earning bonuses to make a living. This type of people make up the majority of trainers, and many small towns like Zhenxin Town have a tradition of starting travel at the age of ten.
In contrast, there are "professional trainers" who work as trainers, and most of them have fixed positions and salaries. For example, alliance investigators are the dream positions of many professional trainers.
The income of professional trainers is much higher than that of ordinary freelance trainers, but the threshold has also been raised accordingly. Only by studying and graduating from the Pokémon Trainer Training Academy established by the alliance can you obtain professional trainer certification; most trainer training academies are expensive, at least for Xiaoye, it is a terrifying figure that can only be seen from afar.
Even people who aim to become professional trainers usually travel for a period of time to hone themselves. This youth travel craze that started decades ago has never cooled down.
"Xiaoye!" The green-haired girl waved to Xiaoye who was sitting on the roof, "Let's go to Dr. Omu's Research Institute together!"
"good."
Xiao Ye responded and jumped off the roof with Charmander in her arms.
Recently, Dr. Omu has been teaching some essential travel knowledge to the five children who are about to leave every day. Ensuring your own personal safety is more important than achieving any results.
Xiaoyun and Xiaozhi had already started discussing with great interest which starter Pokémon to choose. Xiaotian already has Pyro and does not need to receive any more; and the Charmander egg that would have been cultivated into a Pokémon for beginners has been given to Xiaoye by Dr. Ohmu, and Xiaoye does not intend to choose another one. Xiao Mao is more interested in the water type Squirtle, so the extra one will definitely be taken away by Xiao Mao.
The development of the plot is just like the original work.
And Xiaoye also started to prepare for the trip in a week. Listen to Dr. Oak's lecture, prepare the luggage needed for the trip, and say goodbye to the Pokémon in the back mountain.
The last time she walked into the back mountain, Xiaoye originally wanted to invite the horned rhinoceros to travel with her. Big Iron Dragon was the first Pokémon that Xiaoye got to know after coming to this world. After a year of getting along, one person and one dragon had already become friends by default. Even Charmander was used to the existence of this partner.
But on this day, Xiaoye didn't meet Rhinoceros in the back mountain, but she met Rhinoceros' group of friends. Looking at Spearow's gesticulating body language and the somewhat lost and sad expressions of the Pokémon, Xiaoye understood what Spearow meant.
Just a few days ago, the Rhinoceros was subdued by another human.
Charmander was extremely depressed after hearing the news, and even reluctantly took Xiaoye to the Rhinoceros' residence to see what was going on - I thought that the Rhinoceros would definitely follow Xiaoye, but I didn't expect that he might never see her again. to this friend. Although Xiaoye felt very sorry, there was nothing she could do. Whether it was the empty cave or the deep and shallow marks left by the collision of skills on the cave wall, it showed that what Spearow said was not false.
I hope the horned rhinoceros can find a good owner, Xiaoye thought.
Maybe after I set off on my journey, I can see the big iron dragon and the trainer who conquered it again somewhere in the world.
As the sun rises and the moon sets, the hour hand of the clock slowly but firmly turns seven times.
The morning sun shines on this pure white town as always. The girl in white opened the door and walked towards Dr. Ohmu's research institute with the orange dragon.
Elven calendar year one thousand and zero, January 1st.
They embarked on a journey.
