let go of that pokemon

137 Three Years
Three years later.

Chen Yue and Zhou Tao sat in the audience of the Lily of the Valley Conference, watching Sirona defeat the trainer who was in the championship challenge again.

At this time, Sirona, compared with the first time Chen Yue saw her, has a mature charm all over her body, and her image and temperament are closer to those in the anime.

Three years ago, she won the championship with a crushing battle, and defeated the Four Heavenly Kings in one go, becoming the well-deserved No.1 in the Sinnoh area.

After the Lily of the Valley Conference, Chen Yue and Sirona returned to her hometown, Shenhe Town.

Sirona would sometimes take Chen Yue to run around in Shen'ao to explore the ruins, but most of the time, the two stayed in Shenhe Town, cultivating and training elves together.

They would go for a walk in the square in the town with the Pokémon at night, and sit on a bench under the street lamp in the park, with the evening breeze blowing gently across their cheeks.

Best friends and favorite elves are all around.

The ordinary life is warm and beautiful.

"The time is coming." Zhou Tao glanced at his task panel to remind him, he turned his head and looked at Chen Yue: "Aren't you really going to say goodbye to Sirona?"

There are only 30 minutes left in the three-year mission deadline.

Chen Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, just wait a little longer!"

"It's a bit sad." Zhou Tao sighed: "After living together for so long, we have developed feelings for each other. I finally understand why some players would rather risk being sent to the punishment dungeon to tell the npc about their situation..."

Yes, Chen Yue agrees with this point of view.

For infinite players who keep changing copies, the most painful thing is never every encounter with the big villains and dangers of the Pokémon world.

But after leaving the instance, you will never be able to see the friends you met here and... the people you like.

"Fortunately, you are with me, brother!" Zhou Tao rubbed the dog's head on Chen Yue's body whimpering.

Chen Yue pushed him away in disgust. At this moment, Sirona finished her first match and was standing on the battlefield drinking water.

Her gaze swept across the auditorium, and she soon saw Chen Yue and Zhou Tao who were fighting, with the corners of their mouths slightly upturned, revealing a gentle smile.

"By the way, what did you do a few days ago? I haven't seen you for several days." Zhou Tao asked.

After settling in Shenhe Town, it spends less and less time in the Pokéball. Most of the time it spends lying on the grass in the backyard of Sirona's house basking in the sun, and also met a small and cute Pachiris in the backyard.

"I went back to Qiefeng City." Chen Yue said.

Zhou Tao was shocked: "Have you gone to fight that Regichkas? Have you done it?"

Chen Yue shook his head: "I didn't fight, don't worry, Sirona didn't go with me, if I can't beat someone, I won't be able to get out."

The reason he went to Qiefeng City was to visit Yisha and others from Qidian Orphanage.

He asked Sirona to sell the energy cubes and special elf food in his backpack to the trainer who was passing by.

Then all the Union Coins obtained were donated to Qidian Orphanage.

In the past three years, the levels of Mimi Q and Lucario have all been raised to the full level.

Kuailong also realized the powerful move full of special effects of Long Xingqun in the constant battle with Liebite Lu Shark.

After Sirona finished the game, Chen Yue and Zhou Tao were already waiting in the backstage of the venue.

Holding three ice creams in her hand, Sirona came over and handed them to Chen Yue and Tutu Dog, and said, "Okay, let's go home!"

Chen Yue didn't move.

Sirona froze for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We're leaving." Chen Yue said concisely.

"Let's go?" Sirona's heart skipped a beat, her eyebrows frowned immediately, but she quickly thought of Chen Yue's origin, and said, "Will I still see you in the future?"

Chen Yue didn't know if this dungeon had the same world view as Infernal Affairs. He thought for a while and said, "Maybe... there is no chance."

Zhou Tao couldn't stand it any longer, and lowered his head to look down at his feet.

Sirona pursed her lips and asked, "Where will you go when you leave here? Guandu? Chengdu or Fengyuan?"

Chen Yue was silent for a moment, sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He didn't know which world the next dungeon would be.

He couldn't guarantee that the next dungeon would be the worldview of [Transformation], and he couldn't guarantee that the timing of the two missions would be the same.

It is possible that Sirona is already 80 years old when he comes, or he may have returned to a time when Sirona was not born.

"There are still 5 minutes." Zhou Tao coughed lightly.

"Then, goodbye?" Chen Yue said to Sirona upon hearing the words.

Even Sirona was a little at a loss when faced with this scene.

"You didn't tell me in advance that you were leaving today," she said.

Chen Yue: ...

In fact, he was not going to tell Sirona that he was leaving at all. He originally planned to leave quietly like Infernal Affairs.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"There's only one minute left!" Zhou Tao reminded again, and he walked outside while talking, preparing to leave a separate space for the siblings.

Hearing this, Sirona sighed, stepped forward and knelt down, embraced Chen Yue reluctantly, and said softly: "Goodbye, little liar!"

"Goodbye, Sirona."

After speaking, Chen Yue glanced at the time, only 30 seconds left.

He was silent for a while, and finally he was ready to try it. He pushed Sirona away, looked into her eyes, and said seriously:

"Two years later, go to Rainbow City in Kanto to find me, I might be there!"

"Remember my name, my name is Chen Yue, not Zhou Tao!"

After the last word was pronounced, the dungeon time returned to 0, and he and Zhou Tao, who had already run outside, left the dungeon world.

Sirona's hand was empty, she stared blankly at the air in front of her, and murmured to herself: "Little liar..."

……

There was darkness in front of Chen Yue.

The familiar dungeon settlement sound did not sound.

Floating in a dark world, he looked down at his body.

After leaving the copy world he transformed into, his body also returned to its adult form.

Chen Yue looked around, Zhou Tao had disappeared.

He is the only one left.

Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded.

"It was detected that the player [Chen Yue] violated the dungeon rules, and the dungeon has been closed!"

"[Housekeeping robot Xanadu] has been put into the player's backpack! All elves and furniture of the player will be automatically destroyed after the dungeon mission fails!"

"The punishment dungeon is random..."

"The copy is confirmed!"

"Welcome player [Chen Yue] to the punishment dungeon [Crash World]!"

The surrounding darkness intertwined and surged, engulfing Chen Yue in it like a nightmare.

It was completely different from the feeling of the previous copy. Surrounded by this black fog, he couldn't think at all.

"Crash!"

It is raining heavily.

Chen Yue opened his eyes and found that he was lying in a trash can with his whole body soaked.
