Eye of Darkness

The next second, Zoroa jumped into the air and turned into a Pikachu, a perfect Pikachu without Zoroa's original red and white tail.

Yan Ming paused slightly when he saw this, and rubbed Zoroa's head.

"Zoroa, you can change whatever you want, as long as it's not too heavy. After all, if you are too heavy, I won't be able to hold it."

"I know, Ming."

Soraya agreed, but had no intention of changing his current appearance.

Yan Ming sighed helplessly.

Really, my obsession with Pikachu because of Ash's spirit actually let Zoroa know about my old face~

The Kati dog looked at Soraya's transformed Pikachu and took an imperceptible step back.

Katigou still remembered Yan Ming's tragic experience when he was electrocuted by a group of Pikachu on the trial island.

Seeing the movements of the Kati dog, Soraya smiled evilly and approached the Kati dog, which made the Kati dog tremble, fearing that if Soraya could not control it well, it would give him an electric shock.

Yan Ming was very satisfied with the friendly relationship between the elves. After looking at the remaining few minutes, Yan Ming sighed deeply.

"Well, let's rest later."

.....

Kuye City is a prosperous city in the Kanto region, located at the southern estuary. It is one of the largest port cities in the entire Kanto, and it is also the largest commercial district. It is one of the rich and developed areas in the Kanto region.

Standing on the crowded street, Yan Ming looked at the Pikachu transformed by Zoroa who was following him, and suddenly felt at a loss.

Due to the attack by Team Rocket and Team SK, the Santeanu needed to dock for maintenance. After Xiaomao arrived in Kuye City, he headed for the gym, while the alliance represented by Watari stayed behind. After some people guarded the San Teanu, they left.

When Yan Ming left, the captain had a final chat with Yan Ming about family matters. In order to enhance the relationship between the two, the captain asked more than once about the cultivator who made the energy cubes, but Yan Ming slapped him away.

Now that Yan Ming has arrived at his destination, he knows that he now needs to wait for follow-up contact from Team Rocket, and before waiting for contact, Yan Ming can allocate this time at will.

"What should we do..."

My illustration book has not been updated yet, and some trainer benefits are not yet available. The gym is also temporarily unable to challenge and obtain medals. I need to wait for follow-up tasks in Dead Leaf City, so I cannot leave Dead Leaf City for the time being.

And because he was in the city, Yan Ming's previous training arrangements could not be carried out.

And just when Yan Ming was thinking about where to go now, a voice sounded in his ears.

"Kid, are you separated from your family?"

Hearing this, Yan Ming turned and looked in the direction of the source of the sound. It turned out to be Miss Junsha with a katy dog.

"Miss Junsha, I am not a child."

Yan Ming was speechless. This was the first time.

At this time, Junsha also noticed a Pikachu standing on Yan Ming's shoulder. She seemed to have thought of something and smiled softly.

"Well, it turns out that little brother is a trainer. I see that little brother, you are standing still here. Little brother, you are from out of town."

Although Yan Ming didn't like the other person's title of little brother, he still nodded.

"Is that so? Then this is for you."

With that said, Junsha took out a card from her waist.

"If you insert this data card into the illustrated book, you can load the map of Dead Leaf City. The Elf Center and Gym are marked on it."

Yan Ming heard the words and took the card.

This thing works.

Yan Ming raised his eyes to look at Junsha and spoke softly.

"Thank you."

Junsha rubbed Yan Ming's hair and laughed.

"You're welcome. You little bastards who have just started adventuring don't know how to go to the Elf Center to pick up the map every time, which wastes a lot of time."

"Especially every time you arrive in the city, you don't replenish resources. As a result, when you are in the wild, you are missing something, which is really not worry-free."

Yan Ming imperceptibly avoided Jun Sha's rubbing and smiled and said he would pay attention to it in the future.

"I also have a child about your age who started adventuring this year. Oh, by the way, he is a little boy. He is usually very naughty at home. He clamors about becoming a Pokémon master every day."

Junsha seemed to have thought of some funny scene, and laughed.

"Really, that guy didn't realize that he couldn't take care of himself every day, and he still wanted to take risks. Hey~ I thought he would take risks for a few days and then come back crying. I didn't expect... It's really long. It’s too big.”

As Junsha said, she saw Yan Ming's smile and smiled slightly.

The child in front of her had a smile that really looked like that of her adventurous child, so she couldn't help but talk more.

"Okay, I won't be nagging anymore. I wish you a smooth trip."

With that said, Junsha turned and left Yan Ming's sight.

Looking at Junsha leaving, Yan Ming fiddled with the card in his hand, his smile gradually faded, his eyes gradually became dark, and he stood there in silence for a long time.

....baffling.......

Yan Ming inserted the card into the illustrated book and found an elf park. He was going to go there to let Glitter Ghost exercise Zoroa's illusion ability.

The park is not big, but there are a lot of water-washed elves in it. Among them, Squirtle, one of the three most famous ones, is generally green.

But Yan Ming has no desire to conquer. What he lacks now is not the elf, but growth.

After arriving at a lake with fewer people, Yan Ming mentally asked Flash Ghost to sneak into Zoroa's shadow and provide guidance.

And Soraya was also held in Yan Ming's arms, closing his eyes and feeling the bursts of mental fluctuations coming from Glitter Ghost.

Yan Ming sat on the bench, looked at Soraya who was practicing in his arms, and sighed softly.

At this time, Yan Ming noticed a small push cart shop nearby, which was an ice cream shop.

Yan Ming was a little surprised. It was already almost ten o'clock. Is there anyone selling things from a cart so late?Although Kuye City is also very lively at night.

The boy in shorts standing behind the canteen seemed to notice the lone person, Yan Ming, who was sitting on the bench and looking at this side.

After scratching the back of his head, the boy pushed the cart to Yan Ming and smiled.

"Kid, it's so late, why don't you go home?"

Yan Ming was a little surprised by the other party's conversation, but after thinking about it he returned.

"I am a trainer from outside, training elves here."

With that said, Yan Ming lifted Pikachu with his eyes closed.

The young man looked at the Pikachu in Yan Ming's hand and was a little curious about what kind of elf training the other party was doing. However, each trainer's training method was the skill of each trainer. It was not good to ask rashly, even though he was not a trainer. Home.

"Well, the trainer is great, and Pikachu looks like he's working hard... Do you need an ice cream? It's delicious. It's made with milk from a big milk can. Especially on summer nights, eating ice cream will give you a unique flavor~"

After hearing Yan Ming say that he was a trainer, the young man's eyes lit up for a moment, but he still scratched his head, thought about it and asked.

Yan Ming looked at the honest-looking young man, and then at the snow-white cube-shaped ice cream that the young man pointed at, inserted in the cart.

He felt that the other party was just looking at him and wanted to sell him. Although he also wanted to eat and eat, it was a pity that his alliance coins were still in the illustrated book, and the boy in front of him was probably not a trainer, so there was nothing he could do about it. Conducting online transactions, but I haven't gone to the Elf Center to exchange some cash, so I can't buy it.

"Forget it, I don't have money to buy your ice cream."

Yan Ming shook his head.

The young man was slightly stunned when he heard Yan Ming's words, but smiled softly.

"That's it. How about I buy you a share? Just let me touch Pikachu."

Yan Ming was slightly startled when he heard this, then looked up at the young man's serious expression. After thinking about it, Yan Ming nodded and handed Zoroa in his arms to the young man.

Seeing this, the young man smiled, and then touched the Pikachu transformed by Soraya. However, Soraya was training in the spiritual world at this time and did not notice the situation in the outside world, so he did not know that he had been betrayed by Yan Ming.

After touching Soraya for a while, the young man handed it back to Yan Ming, and also handed the ice cream on the trolley to Yan Ming.

"Eat and see, it's delicious."

Yan Ming looked at the white ice cream in the young man's hand under the cold moonlight. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand to take it.

"Thank you."

Yan Ming was a little confused. Did the other party really just touch Soraya and give him an ice cream...

When the young man saw Yan Ming taking it, he smiled.

"Try it, it's really delicious."

Yan Ming heard the young man's words, looked at the sincerity in his eyes, thought about it, and took a bite of the ice cream.

The sweet, smooth and tender ice cream melts in the mouth, with a bit of coolness, and slides into the mouth. A hint of icy taste, and a fragrant milk smell spreads between the mouth, making people feel lingering.

"good to eat."

Yan Ming looked at the young man and praised him seriously while making the ice cream in three strokes.

When the young man heard Yan Ming's compliment, he smiled, revealing two sharp tiger teeth.

"Yeah, my ice cream is very delicious. Do you want to have another one?"

And just when the boy was about to say something else, a voice came from far away.

"You bastard! Go home quickly!"

The source of that voice was an old man. The old man had a kind expression, but his tone was very stern.

The young man curled his lips after hearing that voice.

"understood!"

After replying to the old man, the young man took another ice cream and stuffed it into Yan Ming's hand, said hello and left with the trolley.

Looking at the young man's fast running figure and another ice cream in his hand, his eyes were complicated. He looked at it for a long time. Only when he felt the cold touch on his hand did he realize that the ice cream was melting.

He quickly put the ice cream in his mouth in a panic, and when Yan Ming came back to his senses, he couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of his current actions.

It's really...a bit baffling...
