Pokémon Reboot

Chapter 17 The ugly duckling will eventually become a white swan

"What? I didn't expect to come back so soon." After a long journey all morning, Xiaozhi and his party finally arrived at Hualan City, but Xiaoxia looked at her familiar hometown and felt helpless as if she was discouraged. complained.

After all, I told my sister and the others that I would never come back until I found the person I was destined to be and became a water Pokémon master. I didn't expect to come back after only about a month after leaving home.

Although at that time I was angry with my sisters.

Although she has gained some memories of the future, Xiaoxia is still a little unsure of herself now. After all, most people in Hualan City know the three Hualan sisters of Hualan Gym, but they don’t know about her Xiaoxia. Because of this, her sisters also gave her the nickname "The Ugly Duckling".

And since she was a child, relatives have compared her with her sisters, saying that they don't look like biological sisters at all.

Although these words may not be malicious, Xiaoxia always remembers them in her heart. These words are like a thorn in her heart, which is difficult to remove and unbearable.

So gradually, she will feel inferior and become more concerned about other people's opinions, but she doesn't want to accept her fate, so she wants to become a water Pokémon master to make changes.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be a performance at the Hualan Gym this afternoon." Xiaozhi also picked up a poster that was blown to the ground by the wind and murmured.

"Well, that's right. If I remember correctly, the three Hua Lan sisters from the Hua Lan Gym will appear. They are all rare beauties. Xiaozhi, would you like to go and have a look before the challenge? "Xiao Gang nodded affirmatively, and then showed a wicked smile towards Xiao Zhi.As a gym trainer, he also knows something about his peers.

Hearing Xiaogang's words, Xiaoxia's eyes darkened. Even Xiaogang, who was also a gym trainer, only knew the three Hualan sisters.

"No, Xiaogang, you remembered wrongly, they are the four Hualan sisters." Xiaozhi was of course aware of Xiaoxia's emotional changes, and knew that she still had some grudges about this matter.

But this time she was willing to come back instead of trying to persuade them to go to other cities like in her previous life. This was a big change.

Hearing Xiaozhi's words, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were a little surprised.

Xiaogang really didn't know, but Xiaoxia was surprised that Xiaozhi knew.

"What? Why do you look so surprised? I know all these things from Dr. Oak." Xiaozhi also smiled and directly blamed Dr. Oak. Anyway, if there are things or problems, they will be blamed on the omniscient and omnipotent. That's Dr. Ohki.

(Dr. Ohki, who was eating instant noodles at this time: It’s you who is spreading rumors about me outside, right?)

"Besides, Xiaoxia, aren't you ready to explain it? I think it's better for you to say it yourself." Xiaozhi also cast an encouraging look at Xiaoxia.

"Hey, there is such a thing. In fact, I only know a rough idea. Xiaoxia, just tell me." Xiaogang also looked at Xiaoxia with some curiosity.

At present, all he knows about Xiaoxia is her name and her dream of becoming a water Pokémon master.

Seeing the looks from the two of them, especially feeling Xiaozhi's encouragement to her, Xiaoxia felt warm in her heart and mustered up the courage to tell the truth to them.

·······

"That's it. Because my appearance is not as outstanding as that of my sisters, and my interests and hobbies are different from theirs, so most people in Hualan City gradually only know the three Hualan sisters, and my sisters named me because of this. I was nicknamed 'The Ugly Duckling' and would often make fun of me with that nickname, so a while ago I left home in anger and started my own journey." Xiaoxia also hadn't revealed her true feelings to others for a long time, and she was a little a little bit disappointed after saying that. He looked at Xiaozhi and Xiaozhi anxiously, wondering what they would think.

"So that's how it is, but Xiaoxia, you don't have to worry about it. I also have younger brothers and sisters. I can understand your sisters' feelings about giving you the nickname 'Ugly Duckling'. They just use this nickname." I came here to tease you, but I don’t really want to make fun of you. Moreover, the ugly duckling is not a malicious nickname. After all, the ugly duckling will become a beautiful white swan in the future. And as soon as I see Xiaoxia, you feel that the future You will definitely become a beautiful woman." Xiaogang also made a serious evaluation and encouraged Xiaoxia.

Xiaogang is still very reliable when he is serious.

Xiaozhi also nodded in recognition of Xiaogang's words, and then said to Xiaoxia with a smile: "Xiaoxia, you are actually great. You dare to bravely reveal your heart. In fact, you only have a grudge against this matter. There is already something missing. But if you want to completely solve this matter, what else needs to be done..." Then he leaned close to Xiaoxia's ear and whispered quietly.

"Is this really okay? This is my first time doing this." Even though it was Xiaozhi's suggestion, Xiaoxia was still a little unsure of herself.

"Believe me, it's absolutely possible. If this matter cannot be completely resolved here, there will definitely be a lack of happiness in future trips." Xiaozhi also patted Xiaoxia's shoulders with both hands and said with a serious face.

"Although I don't know what Xiaozhi said to you, Xiaoxia, just believe Xiaozhi. After all, he has always been reliable." Xiaogang also echoed.

After all, Xiaogang also learned from his father that it was Xiaozhi who convinced him, so he was quite convinced of Xiaozhi.

Pikachu also ran up to Xiaoxia and made encouraging gestures towards her.

"Okay, I'll give it a try, but let's make an agreement first. If I am embarrassed, you are not allowed to make fun of me." As if she was having a psychological struggle, Xiaoxia finally bit her tongue after struggling for a while. Chengya agreed.

"Of course, and I believe you will succeed, absolutely. After all, she is a super invincible girl who wants to become a water Pokémon master. How could she fail in this matter?" Xiaozhi also received Xiaoxia's reply, He felt relieved and smiled.

"Well. You are right Xiaozhi, how can I fail here, then I will take the first step." Xiaoxia also showed a smile, seeming to have regained her confidence, saying goodbye to Xiaozhi and the others before taking the first step. Cerulean Gym prepares.

"Then let's meet up at the Hualan Gym in the afternoon. I have some things to take care of. Xiaogang, you go buy ingredients first." Xiaozhi also said something to Xiaogang, and then they went separately.

After all, the afternoon was very important, and he couldn't let the Rocket trio cause trouble again, so he planned to report the crime to Miss Junsha first, and then use the waveguide to find them first and then arrest them.

3.29pm, Hualan Gym

"Xiaozhi, come here quickly, it's about to start." Xiaogang also waited for Xiaozhi at the entrance for a long time and said anxiously.

But after seeing Xiaozhi finally coming, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect that thing to take so long." Xiaozhi also apologized to Xiaogang after he and Xiaogang quickly found a seat to sit down.

After all, I didn't expect Team Rocket to hide so well before they started taking action. They almost didn't find them, but luckily they were found in a nearby cave.

When they saw Xiaozhi and Miss Junsha's expressions of seeing a ghost, Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel funny when he thought about it, and the fatigue of rushing in was slightly relieved.

Then as the spotlight turned on, Xiaozhi's attention gradually focused.

·······

In people's expectant eyes, the spotlight turned on, and beams of light flashed across the venue, finally converging on the top diving board.

The figures of the four Hualan sisters on the diving board also appeared in everyone's eyes.

Although I am a little confused as to why there is one more person suddenly, it seems that the new one feels pretty good, and his style is different from the other three, which makes people feel bright.

And besides, the three sisters are still there, and now one more one can watch one more, which is obviously a profit!

As a result, the audience burst into deafening cheers.

Xiaozhi, Xiaogang and Pikachu also shouted Xiaoxia's name.

Xiaozhi also raised the support card Xiaogang prepared to cheer for Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia, who was on the stage, felt the cheers coming from the scene, and the blood in her body couldn't help but flow faster, and her body couldn't help but tremble a little.

"What, are you getting nervous? It's actually not too late to quit now." Mudan, the third sister, teased Xiaoxia with a smile.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just excited. Although I haven't performed with you, I have practiced, so I won't lose to you in performance." Xiaoxia also retorted, showing confidence expression.

After all, Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, and Pikachu were all watching her, so she had to be perfect in this performance.

Hearing this, Peony, her eldest sister Sakura, and her second sister Iris looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

Then the four of them came to the diving board together, and with the soothing music playing, they also started performing.

······

Although it was Xiaoxia's first time to perform on stage, she had actually rehearsed this situation of performing with her sisters countless times in her mind.

And knowing that Xiaozhi and the others were looking at her, she used [-]% of her motivation to perform.

In the end, the performance came to a perfect conclusion amidst the cheers of everyone. Although Xiaoxia was performing for the first time, the audience could not tell that she was a newbie at all. Xiaoxia was discussed in the audience.

At this time, Xiaoxia was alone on the diving board again. Under the curious eyes of everyone, Xiaoxia also plucked up the courage to speak her declaration into the microphone in her hand.

"I am the youngest daughter of the former head of the Cerulean Gym and the youngest of the four Cerulean sisters. My name is Xiaoxia. My dream is to become a water Pokémon master, so it is normal for everyone not to know that I am , but I hope that in the future everyone will know my name and the four Hualan sisters, not just the three Hualan sisters."

Finally speaking out, following Xiaozhi's advice, she finally plucked up the courage to shout out her name to everyone in Hualan City at the end of her first performance, letting everyone know her name and letting Hualan The Four Sisters became a more widespread moniker.

Xiaozhi also clapped his hands immediately after Xiaoxia finished speaking, looking at her with a look of relief.

After Xiaozhi's applause rang out, the people around him came to their senses one after another. They gave the warmest applause and the most sincere blessings to this young girl who dared to speak out her ideals and rectify her name. .

Listening to everyone's reaction, Xiaozhi also smiled slightly. In this way, his goal was accomplished. Xiaoxia will definitely grow a lot after this experience and become more confident. After all, there is a shadow in her heart. It will also dissipate with this success.

The ugly duckling also turned into a white swan this time.

······

After the performance, Xiaozhi and his group also came here to meet Xiaoxia and her three sisters at the backstage of Hualan Gym.

And the moment Xiaoxia saw Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia immediately rushed over and said with a trembling tone, "Xiaozhi, I succeeded, I succeeded, I did what you said, I really did it. arrive."

Although Xiaozhi was also startled by Xiaoxia's sudden hug, he quickly came to his senses and felt Xiaoxia's trembling body in his arms. Xiaozhi gently patted her snow-white back, He said softly: "I have always believed that you will succeed, just like I believe that I will realize my dream."

Listening to Xiaozhi's words, Xiaoxia couldn't help but hugged her tighter, making Xiaozhi almost out of breath.

Xiaoxia's three sisters and Xiaogang looked at this scene with ambiguous looks.

······

In the end, under the ambiguous looks of Xiaoxia's three sisters, Xiaoxia, who came to her senses afterwards, blushed and gave Xiaozhi the blue badge representing the Hualan Gym.

"My sisters' Pokémon were all beaten and hospitalized by their previous trainers. I am the only one who can accept your challenge, Xiaozhi. But we have fought against each other before, and I quite recognize your strength. So just accept this blue badge." After Xiaoxia gave it to Xiaozhi, she also quietly added to Xiaozhi, "And I'm in a pretty good mood today, so Xiaozhi, you don't want me to You must feel depressed after losing the challenge.”

Xiaozhi scratched his head in embarrassment after listening to Xiaoxia's words, and finally chose to accept it. After all, Xiaoxia's strength cannot currently beat him, and she is actually the strongest fighter in Hualan Gym. strength, so he wouldn't mind so much if he accepted the badge.

·······

The next day, Xiaozhi and his party set off again to start their trip after resting for the night at the Hualan Gym.

"Our ugly duckling has grown up." Calamus looked at Xiaoxia going away and couldn't help but said.

"It's wrong to call her the ugly duckling again. She should be called Cinderella now. After all, she has already met her destined prince." Sakura shook her head slightly and looked at the person who was going away. Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi, as well as Hui Hui, remembered their previous actions and said with a smile.
