I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

"What's the noise?"

A hoarse shout came from the hut, followed by a lazy day-maned rock werewolf opening the door.

"Woo~"

It seemed to be inviting them.

Grandpa Abi walked in very simply. Li Xiang glanced at the second floor. Even though the curtains were drawn, he could still detect a pair of eyes peering downward.

But the other person didn't seem to be the one who responded just now, at least the voice didn't come from the second floor, and it was not difficult to see the curiosity and rejection of the owner of the eyes through emotional perception.

Child?

He followed in the footsteps of Grandpa Abi, who walked directly from the entrance and living room of the house to the courtyard outside. Unlike the vast lawn of my grandpa’s house, except for some open space, the rest was transformed into farmland by Goma, the owner of the house.

A slightly thin old farmer was bending over and slowly burying the seeds in the cloth bag at his waist into the newly dug hole.

Not far away are three gophers with three heads of golden hair, running back and forth across the fields, making a "tick-tick-tick" sound.

"It's spring planting time again."

Grandpa Abi squinted his eyes and stared at the sun, then rolled up his sleeves and got off the ground. He smiled and hooked Li Xiang, "Young man is strong, come down and help."

"Um!"

The latter nodded and found what to do without even needing guidance.

Although the farming process in the dream world is a simplified version, he has done dozens of rounds of farming this year, and he already knows what to do when.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be quite skilled. Have you ever helped the family before?"

Grandpa Abi looked at Li Xiang in amazement. Today, when agriculture in most areas is semi-mechanized, there are fewer and fewer people who know the skill of farming, let alone a professional trainer.

Li Xiang didn't explain, just laughed.

The old farmer who was working turned his head and glanced at the two of them, but ignored their intentions and just kept his head busy doing his own thing.

It wasn't until a little boy timidly opened the back door and looked this way that he stopped and straightened up, "Gowu! Why are you down here?"

"Grandpa..." The little boy looked at Li Xiang, who was digging the earth with the three Alola gophers, and hesitated several times.

Grandpa Abi laughed loudly and said, "It seems like your boy has recognized his idol."

Goma frowned, "What nonsense and idol are you talking about."

"What else could it be - Ah Xiang!"

Grandpa Abi switched back and forth between the archipelago language and the Zhuxia language, then walked over and patted Li Xiang hard on the shoulder, "Your fans are here to see you!"

"Eh?"

He raised his head and saw all three people present staring at him.

Among them, a skinny old man dressed as a farmer pointed at himself and said something, while Grandpa Abi laughed the whole time. The child hiding behind the door, whose hairstyle and appearance somewhat resembled that of Kaqi, was excited yet timid.

At its feet is a fire-spotted cat with a tiger head and a tiger brain.

Baby body Afu!

Li Xiang showed an expression of surprise, and then looked at the black-haired kitten with inexplicable nostalgia. In his memory, the blazing roaring tiger only lasted a little more than half a year in the first stage, and then he could only sleep sideways on the foot of the bed. Big cat.

"Ahaha!"

He walked towards the little boy and greeted him with a peaceful smile on his face.

The latter's expression was tense, as if he might run away at any moment, but for some reason he stayed where he was.

In comparison, his fire-spotted cat was much more courageous. Not only did he have no idea of ​​​​escape, he even took the initiative to come closer.

"Meow~"

"hello."

Li Xiang knelt down and stroked the Fire Spot Cat's forehead and face. The one in front of him was a bit fatter than the previous Blazing Roaring Tiger. The flesh on his face was quite plump, but not to the point of becoming a burden.

The body is very well-proportioned and the fur is beautiful. It can be seen that he is very healthy.

"The training is quite good. Is this your partner?"

Considering that the other party might not speak Chinese, he asked Rotom to be his translator.

A slightly suspicious sound came from the smart watch.

The little boy who was accosted suddenly blushed, and immediately went to see his grandfather Goma. However, Fang Zheng and Grandpa Abi were arguing about something, and for a while he couldn't see his grandson's eyes asking for help.

In desperation, the little boy named Gowu could only hold the corners of his clothes, stumbling and whispering:

"Ni, Mud Artemisia, Guangjun Xiansen, I, I will hand over to Gowu, the mud of our city is sealed."

"Oh! Hello, hello, I'm Li Xiang. Just call me by my name. I'm not qualified for the title of champion."

Li Xiang smiled and stretched out his hand to Gowu, his friendly attitude making his expression more natural.

Although the boy only knows a few words in Zhuxia dialect, it is not difficult for the two parties to communicate with Rotom. After a brief chat, we quickly became familiar with each other.

Just as Gowu initially introduced himself, he is a loyal fan of Li Xiang. He watches relevant games dozens of times, even every day.

Among them, his favorite Pokémon are the Big Three of the Li family, so Gowu, who just turned eleven this year, chose the juvenile form of Brother Afu - Fire Spot Meowth as his initial partner.

“Excellent choice!”

Li Xiang held his shoulders and said seriously: "Pokémon is a Pokémon with great potential! When it enters the trainer school in the second half of the year, you must cultivate it well! It will definitely live up to your expectations!" "

"Um!"

Gowu nodded heavily. Encouraged by his idol, his eyes twinkled like stars, but he didn't know what he thought of, and soon dimmed.

Um? Said the wrong thing?

Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought there might be some story in it.

At this moment, Gowu's grandfather Goma came over and said something. The former showed an unhappy expression, but still waved goodbye and went back to the house.

"Gou has reached his age."

Grandpa Abi approached and said, "Soon he will go to the trainer's school just like you."

Li Xiang turned his head, but Goma next to him snorted and said in Zhuxia dialect: "This is hard to say. Boy, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

The latter sentence was directed at him, with a surprising standard Tiandu accent.

But before he could respond, Goma walked into the room and said, "Come in first, let's talk inside if you have anything to say."

He had no choice but to enter it with the smiling Grandpa Abi.

Come to the living room.

Goma poured a glass of pineapple juice and pointed to the dessert on the coffee table. "You can take it if you want. You're welcome. I don't like being too polite. Just be like that old guy."

"Please, don't be so vulgar in front of children." Grandpa Abi sat down and took things on the table casually, as if he had returned to his own home.

"Hmph, why are you thinking so much when you've already got half your foot in the coffin?" Goma sneered.

But it can be seen that the relationship between the two is very good.

Li Xiang took a sip of pineapple juice, looked at Goma who was on the opposite side, organized his words and said: "Grandpa Goma, I want to——"

"We don't sell Z bracelets."

Goma blocked his words in an understatement, and even added: "It's impossible to borrow."

Li Xiang twitched his lips and looked at Grandpa Abi beside him. The latter looked like there was nothing he could do about it, but he still said to Goma: "Is it necessary to refuse so bluntly? Let's be more tactful."

"Being tactful will only make people feel that there is an opportunity. If I hadn't chosen to live in seclusion here, how many times do you think my home would have been visited by robbers and thieves?"

Goma said without mercy: "Boy, I don't care what you plan to do when you borrow the Z bracelet. It's impossible. Just put aside your thoughts and eat."

"...If I use them as collateral, can you safely lend them to me temporarily? I will definitely pay an amount that satisfies you. I can sign a contract or find a third party, it doesn't matter!"

Li Xiang expected early on that the other party would not lend it to him so easily, so he took out the super evolution key stone and two evolution stones, "If I give away the Z bracelet, you can take these away. Money. I can also pay in advance!”

There has been a lot of debate on the Internet about whether Z Bracelets and Keystones are equivalent. Although the former does not limit Pokémon as long as it has Z Pure Crystals with corresponding attributes, it can only be used once in a short period of time.

The latter is limited to Pokémon, but with practice of Mega Evolution, the Pokémon can maintain that posture for at least half an hour.

Of course, Li Xiang only used the key stone and super stone as collateral at this time, not an exchange.

"Hoo..." Goma looked down at the Key Stone and Super Stone, "Boy, I was originally thinking that you would use Xie Mi and Paper Edge Sword as collateral, but it seems that you are not a bad guy."

Whether Pokémon is considered the trainer's property or an equal partner is also an enduring discussion issue.

Although Li Xiang often bullies the Blazing Roaring Tigers, he will never regard them as objects and dispose of them as he pleases.

And when he heard such words, he couldn't help but said: "Then-"

"Or not."

Goma, who looked exactly like Grandpa Kutch, shook his head again, "Just give up on this idea. I don't care what reason you have to borrow, the impossible is impossible. No matter how much you give me, I don't have the will." .”

The attitude is quite resolute, and it can be said that oil and salt are not allowed to enter.

The key point is that Grandpa Abi seemed to have anticipated this incident and remained silent from beginning to end.

It seems that the negotiations are really going nowhere.

Li Xiang fell into silence, realizing that he had been too presumptuous. Even though it was brought by Grandpa Abi and he is a little famous, Goma has no reason to bear the risk of the Z-power bracelet being borrowed.

From what Goma just said, it is not difficult to tell that the other party chose to live in this place because he was afraid that the Z-powerful bracelet would be exposed. What is the probability that outsiders will know about it once it is loaned out?

It's not zero anyway.

"Sorry, I was abrupt." He apologized.

Goma waved his hand nonchalantly.

At this time.

Gowu suddenly appeared from behind Goma, with an excited expression on his face and quarreled with the latter.

Through Rotom, he learned that Gowu first asked Goma if he came to borrow the Z bracelet, and then wanted to fight for him.

It's a pity that Goma is still unwilling to let go, and it's useless even if his grandson Gowu talks about it.

An angry Gewu with tears in his eyes bowed to Li Xiang and rushed back to his room on the second floor. The fire-spotted cat followed behind and meowed anxiously.

Goma covered his head helplessly.

"It seems that Gowu really admires you." Grandpa Abi whispered: "This child usually doesn't talk so loudly to others, especially his grandfather."

When his grandfather said this, Li Xiang was inevitably a little embarrassed. He always felt that he had caused family discord.

My butt suddenly felt a little restless.

And after he finished the glass of pineapple juice and apologized to Goma, he hurriedly left with Grandpa Abi.

Originally, I just wanted to borrow the Z-Strong Bracelet. Seeing how familiar Grandpa Abi and Goma were, I thought it was possible, but it ended up like this.

He sighed.

Seeing his depressed look, Grandpa Abi said: "It seems that you have encountered a problem that requires the Z-power bracelet."

"...Yes." Li Xiang nodded slightly and apologized to Grandpa Abi, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble today. I hope my abruptness will not affect your relationship with Grandpa Goma."

"It's okay, it's okay. My relationship with Goma will not change because of this little thing."

Grandpa Abi laughed loudly, and then said: "But it's normal that you can't borrow it, because compared to me, an unworthy descendant, he is the one who has inherited the legacy of the King of the Island."

"Eh? Grandpa Goma is also a descendant of the King of the Island?" Li Xiang was slightly startled.

Grandpa Abi nodded, "The ancestors of their family were originally the island kings of Erdao. After the whereabouts of the island gods were unknown, the islands fell into turmoil. Unfortunately, the island king of Erdao died. Their family was persecuted by others and could not help but Instead of escaping to the big island to live in seclusion, he hid it together with the Z-power bracelet.

"If you want to borrow the Z-Power Band from him, you can't do it without his recognition. And he is very worried about his grandson. You also know how much trouble the Z-Brace has caused now, and it is no better than your Legendary Pokémon. Small."

Without the protection of the island god, the rule of the island king will be doubted by the people, which will lead to some unpleasant things.

Abigail once quietly told him that decades ago, when the complete association order did not exist, a group of people once targeted their home in order to steal the Z bracelet that was losing its effectiveness.

However, at that time, they were separated and in decline due to the death of the last island king. In order to protect his family, Grandpa Abi had to sell his only Z bracelet to a powerful force.

This solved the crisis.

The Goma family survived because they hid deep enough and no one knew they had the most powerful bracelets.

With the Abi family's lessons learned, the topic of Z bracelets on the Internet gradually started to become noisy again. It is normal for Goma to worry that the fact that they have Z powerful bracelets will be revealed.

After all.

Goma had no reason to take risks for a boy he had just met, even if he was introduced by a friend. There is a chance that the family will be in crisis, and it will be useless no matter how much chips you use.

If Li wants to use this matter as a threat...

If you don't say it, you will definitely not do it. I'm afraid he will probably be the only one in the house who can go out. After all, Goma has a bad temper and is old, so he is prone to sudden death on the spot.

It's more troublesome than not being able to borrow it.

"Skull hurts."

He sighed and prepared to find other ways, such as rubbing the appearance of the Z Power Bracelet and making a fake one to try.

Maybe it will succeed?
