I, the fighting party, became Xiaozhi's golden finger

The Alliance guard shook his head gently, with a hint of helplessness and determination on his face.

He stood at the door of the Stone Cave again, like an indestructible fortress, guarding this mysterious land.

His eyes looked into the distance through the dim cave, as if telling an unknown secret.

And in the depths of the cave, Xiaozhi and Pikachu were still carefully groping for the way forward.

Their footsteps were light and firm, as if they were looking for something important in this dark cave. The air around them was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, which made people feel awe.

Suddenly, a landslide came into view.

It was a huge stone, which had become loose due to long-term weathering and water erosion.

It spanned the center of the cave, like a natural barrier, blocking Xiaozhi and his friends' way.

The surface of the landslide was uneven, exuding a cold and hard atmosphere, which made people dare not approach easily.

Xiaozhi and Pikachu stopped and looked at the landslide in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel an urge to challenge.

Pikachu stepped onto the landslide carefully, and its soles touched the cold stone, conveying a piercing chill.

However, just as it was about to take the next step, an accident happened. Pikachu's body suddenly lost balance, like a dancer sliding on the ice, unable to control its pace.

Its limbs danced in the air, trying to find a support point, but everything was in vain.

Pikachu's body slid down the slope of the landslide quickly, like a meteor across the night sky, leaving a dazzling light trail.

In the end, Pikachu fell heavily on the ground of the cave, and its body rolled on the ground for several times before it barely stopped. Dust and gravel flew up, forming a small cloud of smoke.

"Pika..." (It's so slippery, how could this happen...)

Pikachu scratched his head, thinking that this landslide was easy, but he fell down so quickly...

In front of him, two roads were like a fork in the road of fate, quietly showing in front of Xiaozhi and Pikachu.

One is a landslide leading up, it winds up like a giant dragon, hovering at the top of the cave, as if inviting them to challenge unknown heights and dangers.

The other is the dark front, like a bottomless dark river, swallowing all the light and hope, making people feel fear and hesitation.

Xiaozhi stood at the intersection, his eyes wandering between the two roads, his heart full of confusion and struggle.

He knew that every choice meant a different fate and consequences, and he had to think carefully to make the right decision. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the fluctuations in his heart and make his thinking clearer.

Pikachu stood beside Xiaozhi, its little eyes flashing with a firm light.

It also understood Xiaozhi's confusion and struggle, but it could not express it in words, and could only support Xiaozhi with its own actions. It gently pulled Xiaozhi's sleeve, as if suggesting that he make a choice.

Xiaozhi lowered his head and looked at Pikachu's firm eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He stood at the intersection of two roads, knowing that no matter which road he chose, it would be accompanied by unknown risks and confusion.

Xiaozhi pondered, looking for answers that could guide him forward.

In the end, he decided to make a choice in an ancient and mysterious way-"pointing troops and generals".

This is an ancient decision-making method that uses the power of randomness to eliminate hesitation and entanglement.

Xiaozhi gently stretched out his fingers, waving invisible power in the air, as if calling for the guidance of fate. His heartbeat gradually accelerated, looking forward to the upcoming results.

In the end, his finger pointed to the landslide leading up.

At that moment, he felt an inexplicable force pushing him, as if the wheel of fate had made a choice for him.

Xiaozhi took a deep breath and bravely stepped onto the landslide, facing the unknown challenge.

The landslide was steep and rugged, and Xiaozhi and Pikachu needed to be careful at every step...

Latias witnessed Xiaozhi and Pikachu trying to walk up the landslide, but failed repeatedly.

In its bright eyes, a trace of doubt and puzzlement could not help but appear. As a psychic Pokémon,

It knew that it had a strong telekinesis that could easily send them to the top of the landslide.

However, Latias did not choose to do so.

It understood Xiaozhi and Pikachu's persistence and courage, and understood that this was the only way for them to grow. It respected their choices and also respected this world full of challenges and unknowns.

So, Latias chose to be quiet.It stood by and protected them with its power.

Li Qingfeng: ...

Hmm ...

So, should I tell them that I can reach the top without my own strength?

Xiaozhi struggled to move forward on the landslide, but fate seemed to always play tricks on him.

Every time he stood firm and was ready to take the next step, the slippery stone surface was like a layer of grease, ruthlessly interrupting his steps.

There seemed to be a lack of friction between his soles and the stone, making every attempt like dancing on ice, beautiful and short, but always unable to last.

Xiaozhi's expression was full of helplessness and bitterness.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes flashed with unwillingness. He kept adjusting his posture and steps, trying to find a way to conquer the landslide.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the landslide was always like a cunning snake, constantly turning his efforts into nothing...

A dark shadow quietly emerged from Xiaozhi's constantly sliding figure, that was Gengar's figure. It stood quietly beside Xiaozhi, with deep confusion and bewilderment in its eyes.

Gengar, as Xiaozhi's right-hand Pokémon, possesses powerful strength.

It stared at Xiaozhi falling down the landslide again and again, and ripples appeared in its heart. It didn't understand why Xiaozhi was unwilling to ask for help from these Pokémon when he was in trouble.

In Gengar's eyes, Xiaozhi was like a tough warrior, willing to challenge and overcome any difficulties on his own.

But Gengar also knew that sometimes, seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a wise choice.

It couldn't help but start to think, is Xiaozhi too obsessed with his own growth and ignores the power around him?

To be honest, it is really possible...

However, it still subconsciously feels that Xiaozhi will definitely use their power.
