Dawn of Pokémon

After the boy slammed the door and left, the air in the room solidified.

Pichu barely understood Luke's words, but still instinctively felt something was wrong.It didn't know that the silver-haired young man a few walls away had already opened his eyes in shock, and for a moment he was afraid to speak out.

Pichu had never seen his trainer show such an expression - even if it was only for a short moment.

Just as it was hesitating to poke its trainer with its little paw, Xiaoye suddenly tapped her palm.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have bought a voice recorder first!"

"……mound?"

The gloomy atmosphere was swept away, and Pichu was filled with worry, leaving only a blank, animalistic look on his face.

"Although his tone was not very polite, Luke just revealed a lot of important information that I didn't know." Xiaoye said, and actually took out a notepad and started writing furiously, "Unfortunately, he spoke too fast, and there was nothing I could do about it. Remember it all. It would be great if I could record it."

Piqiu looked at Xiaoye in confusion.The girl's expression was no different from usual, and there was a hint of Pichu's familiar smile at the end of her words.The tip of the pen flying across the paper was so light that anyone would think that he was a carefree guy with no worries at all.

The abnormality that was accidentally revealed for half a second was more like an illusion caused by vertigo.

"Important information...Qiu?" Pichu racked his brains, but still felt that what the guy with the disgusting breath said was similar to the barking bark of a Katie dog, "I didn't understand Qiu at all."

"For example, he mentioned 'the first nine years that were blank in my memory.'" Xiaoye closed the notepad and explained to Pichu casually, "I haven't told anyone about this, not even you know, right? ? But Luke knows that this means that he may have some connection with the past 'me'."

The electric mouse nodded and shook his head again, not sure whether he understood or not.Human time units are indeed difficult for Pokémon to understand. Maybe it is thinking about how many meals it can eat in "nine years".

After rubbing the little hairball, Xiaoye looked at the cover of the notepad and fell into deep thought.

When Luke suddenly threw the description "a foreign object floating outside the entire world" in Xiaoye's face, she almost thought that Luke knew that she was not a resident of this world, but a ghost from another world.But when you calm down, you will find that this is not the case - she does not have the so-called "memory of the first nine years", because she came to this world on the day when she was nine years old on "Xingyu Night", so naturally it is impossible to know before this s story.If Luke knew her true identity, he would never think that the first nine years in her own memory were blank.

Obviously, the target of Luke's words is not "Liang Xiaoye", but "Xingyuye" himself who exists in this world.But doesn't this mean that her "host" itself does not have the memory of the previous nine years?

When she thought that "Xingyuye" had a blank past before her arrival, and had never experienced anything other than being dominated by ghosts from another world, Xiaoye even felt as absurd as if she had created a new game character.

If we think along this conclusion, the contradiction still exists.Luke clearly talked about "disobeying orders", and before checking into the contestant village, Bai Lan also showed an attitude that she should know something.But Xiaoye can guarantee that since she woke up on January 999, 1 in the Elf Calendar, her memories of every minute and every second are clearly identifiable, and none of the content they mentioned is included.

Going round and round, the problem is back to its original point.

——Who is "I" and why is "I" here?

Although the secret revealed by Luke made Xiaoye feel rare shock and confusion, she still put aside these philosophical questions for the time being.For Xiao Ye, it is always difficult to prioritize issues that are only related to herself.If Luke hadn't come to her door like this, she wouldn't even have cared so much about her so-called identity mystery.

What's more, she had already made plans to explore the reason for her arrival and how to return to her original world.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Xiaoye realized that her originally planned bath might have to go to waste.It's the time we agreed to have lunch with everyone soon, so let's go eat first.

Since all the restaurants in the contestant village are free for contestants, few people go to the Pokémon Center cafeteria where they have long been tired of eating, and Xiaoye and her group are no exception.They had discussed today's lunch place last night, met at the door at [-] noon on time, and walked into the restaurant laughing and joking.

Xinghai smiled and greeted the children as usual, but his peripheral vision kept lingering on Xiaoye.

Luke's words not only shocked Xiaoye, but also caused a turmoil in Xinghai's heart.In just a few minutes, he had already thought of a lot of things, even more than the person involved, Xiaoye, thought - when he was in Zhenxin Town, he read the letter that Xiaoye failed to understand, and the familiar handwriting clearly wrote "From this moment on, stay away from the people on the list," and Luke personally admitted that Shenyu Xinghai and his son were on the list just ten minutes ago.

Coupled with the name that was initially thought to be just a coincidence, but now seems extremely suspicious, Xinghai is almost certain that Xingyuye must have some unknown connection with his master Xingyu Baiye.

Although one of the parties seems to know nothing about it.

Luke's impulsiveness indeed revealed a lot of information that could not be ignored, but for both Xiaoye and Xinghai, the known information was too little, and it was not enough to draw a decent conclusion.After deciding to keep this matter in mind and not pursue it for the time being during the competition, Xinghai actually felt a little relieved.

He knew what a kind man his master was.No matter what the truth is, it is impossible for the former Chief Investigator Hoshiyu Baiye to deceive the people he wants to protect.

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Xinghai once again turned his attention to Xiaoye.

The purple-haired girl was talking and laughing as usual. She looked almost exactly the same as when she walked into another restaurant with her companions yesterday. If the surveillance video was called up and edited, it could be used for both purposes.If she hadn't "witnessed" the whole process, Xinghai would never have thought that she had just experienced an extremely vicious abuse.

"Xiao Ling, you won't be able to eat lunch like this." Seeing Xiao Ling holding a bag of snacks and chewing them with joy, Xiao Jie couldn't help but remind her.However, his preaching soon stopped, because Xiaoling simply and roughly stuffed a small piece of cake into her brother's mouth.

"This is not an ordinary dessert. This is the signature piece of the famous Lava Cake House in Miyuan City. No one can just look at it and resist eating it, right?" Xiaoling replied confidently, not forgetting to poke it. Xiaoye and Yangzhen - although the latter ran out five meters away when he saw her, Xiaoling's claws did not fall on the target, "It's the one we went to together last time. I thought the store was destroyed by lava bugs If it's like that, it will definitely not be able to open in the near future. I didn't expect that it was renovated yesterday afternoon!"

"Hmm, is it the store where the bomb exploded?" Xiaoye still remembers the chaotic scene that day.

"I heard from the shop owner that it was just a misunderstanding and there was no bomb." Xiaoling explained as she quickly took out a small cake and handed it to Xiaoye, "Xiaoye, do you want to try it?"

Xinghai has lived in Miyuan City all year round and has also heard of the reputation of Lava Cake House.It is said that this shop only uses the flames of lava worms for baking, and all the snacks have a hot and strong taste like lava. The unique production method has even made this shop a city-level famous store.Perhaps its only drawback is that it's too expensive.

Somehow, those vicious words from the boy from the Guild of Light suddenly flashed through Xinghai's mind.At the same time, Xiaoye on the other side also said seriously: "No need, the price makes me afraid to eat it. The bread from the Friendly Store is more suitable for me."

Xiaoling stopped and showed a speechless expression, "...If you say this, your hands are not very honest."

Xiao Ye looked at the delicate snack in her hand and showed an innocent expression like "Oh, why did it get into my hand by itself?" "That's right, I'll give it back to you."

"I don't want it!"

Xiaoling didn't pay attention to Xiaoye's casual joke at all, and happily distributed the remaining cakes to others, and inevitably started a chase battle with Yangzhen.The two noisy children attracted everyone's attention, but no one noticed the expression of the silver-haired young man walking at the end.

Xinghai looked at the children who were playing as usual.He could see Xiaoye's eyes - clear and calm, like a cold pool that could be seen to the end at a glance, without any negative things hidden.

He knows that when a person really cares about others "talking about topics you don't understand, buying things you can't afford, and using fighting skills you've never heard of", that's not what the eyes look like.When he was a boy, Xinghai did have such a partner: his father disappeared shortly after he was born, and his mother also suffered from illness, so he had to bear the weight of the entire family at a young age.That partner indeed has excellent talents and perseverance, but his temperament is much more extreme and sensitive than ordinary people. His light yellow eyes are always full of complex and dark emotions.Even after a long time has passed since he joined the Canglong Fang, he will still get angry when others casually mention money, valuables, connections, and all topics belonging to the so-called upper class. He even feels that everyone is mocking him, either openly or secretly. He, looks down on him.

But at the same time, Xinghai understood that people's sensitivity and inferiority actually come from unattainable pride - thinking that they should not be in such a position, thinking that they should be better and shine brighter, but they are always stuck in the quagmire. When people are unable to escape and are looked down upon by others, then they will be unwilling, miserable, and feel "inferior".If a person sincerely believes that he is an inferior person, or does not care about who he is at all, then he will not have complex emotions such as inferiority, just like an old beggar who has been begging for food for his whole life will never think of treating others badly. Kneeling would be detrimental to one's own dignity.

So, what is this child thinking about who is in a very similar position to that person back then?

...What on earth is Mr. Xinghai thinking?

After several years of battlefield experience, Xiaoye has already mastered the ability to sensitively detect other people's eyes without any teacher.At first she didn't pay attention to the stares from behind, until Xinghai started staring straight at the back of her head, making her almost break out in a cold sweat.

Xiaoye had a calm smile on her face, but her heart was already full of confusion.She probably didn't do anything that would anger Mr. Xinghai, right?Why are you staring at her as if she were a human-shaped suncake...

When she thought of the piles of suncakes that Xinghai had given her, Xiaoye suddenly understood.She turned around and raised the lava cake in her hand that she hadn't eaten yet - she was the only one who didn't eat it right away, "Mr. Xinghai, do you want to try it?"

"Huh?" Xinghai was stunned.

"I remember that you seem to like these kinds of snacks very much." Xiaoye said calmly.Not to mention that Xinghai once had the feat of buying dozens of sun cakes and eating them with gusto. Next to him, Grandpa Yuan Zheng was also staring at the half piece of cake in his grandson's hand, looking salivating - so the mature and steady investigator It must be normal for the husband to be enthused when looking at the cake.

Xinghai, who was suddenly pulled back from complex thinking to the world of entertainment, was stuck for a long time before he shook his head and laughed dumbly. He waved his hands repeatedly, not intending to snatch snacks from the children.Marshal Lieri had no such burden at all. When he saw Xinghai "hesitantly expressing his polite refusal," he immediately looked at Xiaoye with sparkling eyes.

In the end, Xiaotian sighed and caught Xiaoling and Yangzhen who were running in circles. He took two more cakes from the bag and gave them to the hopeless adults.Looking at his son's expression that said "Why did you even grab the cake?", Xinghai felt a little bit dumbfounded.

As a result, lunch on this day passed smoothly with laughter and laughter as always, as if no uninvited guest had ever broken into the lives of the contestants.In the afternoon, Xinghai rarely accompanied Xiaotian to adjust the status of Pokémon, but arrived at the C branch venue an hour early.

Before Xiaotian's game, Xiaoye and her opponent will have the first battle of the afternoon in this arena.He believes that something needs to be confirmed through this game.
