Dark Age of Elves

The sky gradually lights up, as if someone has put a layer of pink on the light blue sky, and there are countless golden lights hidden under the pink.

Suddenly there seemed to be a noise, the pink clouds were blown away, and the sky suddenly became cheerful.

As soon as Yi opened the window, she lazily embraced the morning breeze blowing from nature and took a few deep breaths.

I glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was just early five o'clock. Aunt Hanako and Shizuka must not have woken up yet.

After a simple wash, Yiyi put on a pair of breezy casual clothes and started running in the distance for morning exercises.

In the woods, sunlight passes through the leaves, and the ground is mottled with light and shadow.

A steady sound of breathing slowly sounded from the forest, "You three, please relax and feel the beauty of the morning."

At this moment, the sound of "huffing and puffing" came from the forest path on the opposite side.

Yi Ding took a closer look and saw an old man wearing a sports shirt and shorts. His snow-white hair was slightly wet at this time. It looked like he had been exercising for a long time and was soaked with sweat.

When the old man opposite saw a young man opposite with three elves following him, he also slowed down and stopped slowly.

Yiyi recognized his identity, walked up humbly, and said, "Dr. Omu, I didn't expect that you also have the habit of morning exercise."

Dr. Omu laughed heartily a few times, then scratched his head and looked at Yiyi.

"Oh, let me introduce myself to you. I am Yiyi from Cerulean City. Thank you very much for letting me choose an elf to take with me."

"Fire ha fire ha."

The Charmander on the side saw Dr. Oak and jumped to his legs and started dancing.

After announcing his identity, Dr. Omu showed a look of sudden realization.

"You are the Yiyi that Brother Yamanashi mentioned to me. You are really a energetic child."

"I heard that Senior Brother Yamanashi got a lot of novel ideas from you, and is already preparing to publish new academic articles, and your name will be attached to them. You are really young and promising."

Dr. Omu walked to Yiyi with Charmander in his arms and patted his shoulder gently to express his appreciation.

"It's just that I have read more books about this aspect. When I was a child, my family was not rich and I often went out to play, so I observed more than other children. I can't call him young and promising."

Dr. Oki glanced at his watch and saw that it was already 06:30, so he proposed to go back to have breakfast together to replenish energy.

The two talked and laughed along the way, and soon returned to the town.

"Let's go, Yiyi, I'll take you to have breakfast."

Yiyi smiled and nodded to express his thanks, but the direction the doctor led him was... wasn't it Aunt Hanako's house?

Yiyi covered his face and then thought: Dr. Ohki doesn't know how to cook at all. He has been studying academics for many years and the most common food he eats is instant noodles. It is estimated that the instant noodles boxes lined up in a circle can go around the Kanto region.

Dr. Oki rang the doorbell, then coughed slightly: "Hanako, I brought a child here for breakfast."

On the monitor on the door, Hanako's face clearly appeared on the screen.

"Hey, Yi Yi? What's wrong with you?"

"Ah? Do you two know each other, Hanako?"

He turned to look at Yi Yi and found that he was smiling awkwardly.

"Yesterday I stayed at Aunt Hanako's house for one night."

Entering the living room, Yiyi and Dr. Omu walked into the living room and saw a table of breakfast already prepared.

Dr. Ohki glanced at the table: "Strange? Hanako, how did you know I would bring someone here today?"

Seeing that three pairs of bowls and chopsticks were already placed on the table, Dr. Omu showed a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Shizuka walked out of the kitchen carrying an empty bowl, "Aunt Hanako, may I ask which cabinet this unused empty bowl has been placed in?"

But as soon as she raised her head and glanced at the living room, she saw that Yi Yi had returned from morning exercises, and there was an old man beside him.

Hey, it seems that this person feels very familiar.

"what!!!"

A scream that was comparable to the intensity of the noise suddenly rang out in the living room.

The other three people quickly covered their ears and showed pain.

"What is going on?" Dr. Omu was frightened by the sudden scream.

"You...you are Dr. Ohki Yukinari!"

"Doctor, doctor, doctor."

"Ah? What's wrong? She's talking to you."

Yiyi pointed in Shizuka's direction.

"Hello, Dr. Ohki, I'm sorry I was disrespectful just now. I am Hanazawa Shizuka from Stone Town. I came to Zhenxin Town specifically to visit you."

"Oh, ah, okay, I am Dr. Omu, but the kid from Stone Town, Hua Ze...could it be that you are Hua Ze Henlei's daughter?"

Shizuka nodded repeatedly, "My father is Hua Ze Henlei. Before my trip, he specifically asked me to visit you before officially challenging the gym to thank you for your help to him."

Yiyi on the side quietly asked Hanako next to him: "Do Shizuka's father and Dr. Ohki know each other?"

Hanako was also a little surprised, but she still answered Yiyi's words: "Well, Hanazawa Henlei was the champion of the Quartz League 20 years ago."

"What about him and the Doctor?"

"It is said that when he was young, Hanazawa was just a poor boy who worked hard. But later he met Dr. Oki, was appreciated, and was given a Bibi bird. Later, he grew up and became an excellent trainer."

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. It's getting late. Let's have breakfast first and then talk."

After everyone listened, they also found that their stomachs were growling a little, and they hurried to the table to eat a sumptuous breakfast.

"It's better to stay with you young children. When I see you, I think of my grandson Xiaomao, who is as energetic and full of life as you. Chatting with you instantly makes me feel ten years younger!"

Hearing Dr. Ohki mention Xiaomao, Hanako immediately asked Dr. Ohki: "By the way, Xiaomao hasn't come back yet? The summer camp should have ended long ago?"

"Hey, that's right. I was so busy researching that I forgot about this. I immediately contacted the organizer. Xiaomao is a mature kid. Xiaozhi shouldn't have any accidents with him. He may have encountered some other things. It might be delayed, so don’t be anxious.”

Looking at Hanako who was suddenly looking sad, Dr. Ohki also comforted Hanako's mood with sincere words.

It's just that he doesn't know what he's doing. Normally, Xiaomao, a kid, wouldn't do something that would make his elders worry. Why is he so lacking in sense of propriety this time? Could it be?

He stopped his thoughts instantly, stood up and said goodbye to the three of them, and returned to the institute to contact the organizer to inquire about the situation.
