I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

As everyone knows.

Waveguides exist in the hearts of living things.

If you want to observe waveguides, you need not only the naked eye but also the mind's eye.

The former is relatively simple and only requires adding a layer of waveguide vision to normal vision. Previously, Li Xiang asked Lucario for help countless times in order to master the waveguide.

The necessary condition for the latter is a high enough mental power, which he happens to be qualified for now.

therefore.

In a room in the training hall.

He and Lucario began to practice waveguide.

first.

"Ouch."

Lucario and Li Xiang clasped their hands.

Although it doesn't know how to let others learn waveguide, the method of guiding perception will not change.

Calm and focused.

The two closed their eyes one after another, using the triple-blind perception method to search for themselves in the dark space, and imagined the outlines of themselves and each other.

then--

"Waveguide, stay in my heart!" 』

A vague voice sounded, and a stream of heat poured in from his hands, disappearing like mud flowing into rocks.

But not for long.

Ding~

It was as if the rainwater falling into the inner lake caused waves, and something appeared in the field of perception outside the five senses. It is intangible and does not exist in the realm of reality, but it does exist.

In my mind, something of the same nature was touched, and as if being guided, I timidly left the area where I originally stayed, and moved to other locations between ignorance and confusion.

Current first stop.

Eyes.

Before he could even open his eyes, the darkness had already been dispelled by the bright blue light.

"This is...waveguide? Waveguide vision?"

He couldn't help but open his mouth, but the next moment Lucario grabbed his hand tightly, and dissatisfaction spread smoothly.

The current task is to concentrate on feeling the existence of the waveguide. What are you seeing here? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before!

Li Xiang was embarrassed in his heart, feeling inexplicably like he was caught by the teacher for deserting in class. At that moment, he did not dare to wander anymore and concentrated on feeling the existence of the waveguide.

Then he noticed that the bright blue light disappeared, and soon came down to his mouth, throat, and even his chest and limbs.

In just a moment, it had already circulated in the body and returned to the mind smoothly and silkily.

Different body parts have an initial impression of the waveguide.

To deepen this impression, the second lap also started.

Speak the truth.

This thing relies on Lucario's help, so it's relatively easy to detect, but if Lucario takes away his hand, he'll be blinded. The key is to guide and control it yourself.

certainly.

Today's goal is not the kind of result that can be achieved overnight. He just wants to observe the waveguide independently without the help of the dog. Whether it is with the naked eye or the inner eye, as long as he can see it, it is victory.

For this it is necessary to let Lucario go.

According to the agreement made at the beginning, when the waveguide circulated for the fifth time, it slowly withdrew its claws.

For a moment.

The vague feeling disappeared, and a feeling of emptiness flooded into Li Xiang's heart. The obedient being in his mind also returned to its original unruly self, refusing to come out no matter how much he urged.

Is it too difficult?

He thought helplessly and felt ashamed of himself for taking chances.

It’s not too much to think about sprinting 100 meters before you even learn to walk.

Suddenly.

"Ouch."

Lucario's voice rang in his ears.

Li wanted to know that it wanted him to use the angle of observing the waveguide to find its location and the locations of the previously released Pokémon.

Guessing is cheating yourself, so he won't do that.

But how can we observe where the waveguide is?

Since it is impossible to mobilize mental power to focus on the eyes to form waveguide vision, the only way is to rely on the mind's eye.

Be calm.

Li wanted to close off his five senses and rely only on consciousness-like perception to distinguish the surrounding existence.

at first.

There is no feeling.

The darkness remained dark, and the power that was active in my mind was as silent as a deep pool.

But this situation has changed slightly with the concentration of attention.

His eyes were indeed not opened, Li Xiang was absolutely sure of this, but in the darkness, a "torch" did appear.

It is bright blue, burning brightly and beautifully, as dazzling as the fire of the soul.

"one two three……"

He counted the number and found that there were sixteen clusters...wait, seventeen clusters?

No, sixteen clusters.

Um?

Why did it become seventeen clusters again?

Li Xiang counted three or four times, but he got different answers every time. This made him wonder if he had not done math problems for too long and had regressed to the elementary school level.

Fortunately, he is a character who is very good at finding reasons from others, and he also knows the root causes of miscalculations. With a little strategy, he caught the guy who was playing tricks on others.

"Agua! Sure enough, you are such a guy!"

He opened his eyes, and in front of him was the Koga Ninja with a guilty look on his face, and he couldn't help but sneer.

The prank is not scary, the scary thing is being caught red-handed.

Fortunately, it slipped away quickly enough, silently secreting lubricating bubbles, then jerking its tongue, and immediately regained its freedom, followed by Shen Yin and full protective color.

"The door is sealed, where can you hide!"

Li Xiang closed his eyes and tried to use the waveguide to search for the whereabouts of the Koga Ninja. It's not easy to get some clues, and if you directly learn and apply them in practice, you may be able to promote growth in this area.

As a result, of course, nothing was found.

The aspect of detecting the hidden gods is too high-end. He has not yet reached that level. If Agua hadn't committed suicide before, he probably wouldn't have been caught by him.

But what to say.

It seems that I finally have some experience and experience in observing waveguides. Not to mention the Koga Ninja guy, at least Lucario and other Pokémon can find it by observing the waveguides.

To prove this, he pointed out the range in which they moved one by one with his eyes closed.

"Ouch!"

Lucario walked forward excitedly and couldn't help but pat the trainer on the shoulder. Before he could finish his words, he touched his head and ears.

"Am I being trained?"

Li Xiang responded with a smile, just as he would pat the shoulders and touch the ears to encourage him when training the young Lucario, Gouzi also copied it on him.

"Thanks, I'm full of energy now."

He hugged the dog and rubbed its head, pressing its two prick ears down with his chin, and the dog in turn rubbed its forehead against him.

Dogs are actually a bit shy and reserved when it comes to expressing their emotions. Generally speaking, dogs will only respond if their trainer takes the initiative. Not to mention some other operations.

Like the canine elf's favorite move, using his tongue to leave his own taste on the trainer's body as a sign of flattery, Lucario would not do it.

Maybe it's because he has lived with humans for too long?

far away.

The Koga Ninja emerged from the air, narrowed his pupils, and turned his head disdainfully.

After waiting for a few seconds, he quietly raised his eyelids to see if someone was coming over.

If not, just make a little noise furtively until he comes over, and keep that cool, indifferent expression that doesn't care about anything.

"You guy."

Li Xiang knocked Agua's head helplessly, "Because of the chuunibyou, you don't want to talk properly, right?"

Koga Ninja didn't answer and disappeared into the air with great coldness.

Satisfied.

…

Regarding the power of waveguide, Li Xiang is developing it in the dream world and resting in the real world.

And in a dream.

His own home and fields are also under construction.

As for the competition...

In the second round of doubles, it was still not his and Susie's turn to play. Both the Baixiang and Lu Shu teams worked too hard and easily advanced to the third round.

"It's better not to play until the final."

Li Xiang complained to his friend, "It saves me and Su Qian's worries."

"Then you will have enough time to read your construction book and farming instructions, right?"

The white-haired boy looked at him sideways, "You're tired of being a trainer and plan to show your talents in other fields?"

"Eh? You know?" The latter looked surprised.

"Nonsense, with your enthusiasm for reading books as if no one else is watching, it's hard for me not to know!" Song Jie looked at him with contempt.

"Hahaha...how should I put it?"

Li Xiang laughed twice, then suddenly raised his head and leaned on the chair, saying: "I just don't want life to be just about battles. There are so many wonderful things, how can I not try them?"

It would be great if humans could also enter the dream world. He would definitely call Song Jie in and everyone could farm happily together. Anyway, the teleportation object is a renewable resource, and the latter will not reject it with various results.

pity.

You can't call this guy in to do hard labor... No, enjoy the pastoral scenery and the joy of growing up.

He was thinking here, and the people next to him were also chattering.

"What you say is better than what you sing. I think you are just tired of playing at this stage."

Song Jie slowly stated: "If you are surrounded by high-level trainers, you will definitely not talk so much nonsense, with a tone that sounds like you have reached the top of your career as a trainer."

Continuous failure is boring, as is long-term victory. This is the so-called master's loneliness.

But from Young Master Song's point of view, his friend was just a bitch, and at such a young age he was so arrogant that he could defeat his peers.

Sooner or later I will let you know what it feels like to follow others and eat ashes!

The two of them each have their own hidden agendas, and they plan each other's "future" in their minds. Such a profound friendship is really touching.

After the game.

The audience expressed their dissatisfaction as always. How many people wanted to see someone take action, how many people wanted to see Vulcan Moth take the field, but they couldn't.

How can this make them happy?

However, this kind of voice has no influence on the other party. He even cares more about a phone call than online reviews.

A video call about apologizing.

"I'm really, really sorry. I haven't been able to pick up the gopher for so long, and I bothered you to help me do so much..."

On the other end of the phone was a white woman, wearing a gray suit. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and she had obviously just cried.

However.

She is not a trainer of dragon-headed gophers. The person that the dragon-headed gopher really cared about was the old man standing next to him who was smiling and full of energy but could not conceal his old age.

Yes, he is neither a teenager who is new to Pokémon nor a professional trainer pursuing strength, but an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

The lady who spoke to Li Xiang was the old man’s daughter.

"...when did your father become ill?"

he asked in a low voice.

"The signs started to show five years ago. At that time, we thought that my father was too lonely, so we found him a screw gopher to keep him company. Unexpectedly, because he was separated from the screw gopher, it suddenly worsened... I am really sorry. "

The woman apologized repeatedly.

But he didn't use this to find an excuse, he just said that it was his fault for failing to pick up the leading gopher.

but.

Judging from the age, it should be the transition from the first stage to the second stage of Alzheimer's disease...that is, poor memory turns into severely damaged memory, and it is possible to exaggerate that it is impossible to take care of oneself.

No wonder I haven’t picked it up for so many years.

Li Xiang remained silent, then said, "There's no need to apologize or thank you. I'm just doing what I have to do. Where's the dragon-headed gopher?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Sigh."

A voice sounded from the old man's feet, followed by a shining silver head popping up.

"How's it going?" he asked in a low voice.

The dragon-headed gopher responded with a smile, "Caw."

Although the other party no longer remembers it, it is not the other party's fault, and he has not been abandoned. Knowing this is enough. Being able to return to familiar people is something worth being grateful for.

Especially when he remembers what he likes to eat.

It is happy and joyful.

The more than 800 days of waiting were not completely in vain.

"Just be happy." Li Xiang also smiled. What he wanted to see most was this expression.

The smile from the other person's heart is more important than anything else.

The lady next to me continued, "In return for payment——"

"No, the dragon-headed gopher's safe return home is my most precious reward. Thank you for your willingness to accept it."

Li Xiang said softly, from this point of view, the other party is considered responsible.

The lady opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. In the end, she could only say, "I will definitely take good care of it."

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Li Xiang smiled and hung up the phone.

The person who calls again is an "actor".

The international policeman who came to his aid told him something about the dragon-headed gopher.

As he thought, the other party was looking for the leading gopher, but due to family problems and work problems, he was unable to invest too much energy.

On the other hand, as the old man got older and his Alzheimer's disease worsened, this led to the dragon-headed gopher wandering around for several years.

to be honest.

This ending was not perfect in his opinion, but it didn't matter what he thought. The key was the idea of ​​the dragon-headed gopher.

Obviously the other party is very happy, so what else is there to say?

Li Xiang could only wish it happiness silently in his heart, and hoped that if the old man was a little stronger, he might be able to get a "special medicine" to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Maybe one day, the other party can recognize the dragon-headed gopher and say to it properly:

"sorry."

Sorry for being separated from you, sorry for not recognizing you.

Then.

Go to the end with contentment and happiness.

In the Pokémon world, there are as many miracles as raindrops, so there is nothing wrong with having unrealistic expectations.

Am I right.

The existence that pulled me from another world.

Li wanted to look at the ceiling in the room, but his eyes passed through and landed on an unknown place.
