Pokémon's Little Adventure

"Thank you for your help. I, an old man, will die without regrets." The old man looked at Ah Fu and the other two with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Ah Fu suggested, "Should we build a grave for you?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "I killed my best friend and made Xiaojiu wait alone for 200 years. I am guilty of so many crimes that I am no longer worthy of you. Let us disappear into the dust of history."

"Do you have any last wishes?" Sonia asked softly, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"That's all. It's a pleasure to meet you before I leave." After the old man finished speaking, Ah Fu and the other two left his illusion and returned to the entrance of Jihua City.

"My friend, I'm here. I hope you can forgive my sins. Let's meet again in another world, hehe~"

The old man’s words are a kind of relief and transcendence about the final chapter of life.

Sonia sighed and said, "Another sad story. We still don't know the old man's name."

Mingyi held the rainbow flower in her hands. The brilliant colors and fragrance seemed to be the best annotation of the old man's life experience. She murmured softly: "If your heart faces the sun, the flowers will bloom."

The old man's departure was filled with regret and reluctance.

His courage to take responsibility for his mistakes made Ah Fu admire him. Only by facing past mistakes and regrets with the courage to take responsibility and actively seeking redemption can the soul find true peace and freedom.

"Let me tell you something interesting. This old man is a guide in the game. He will always stand here waiting for batches of trainers and lead them to visit every inch of the city. This can be considered a kind of redemption."

"It's not funny at all. Your bad jokes have improved again."

Ah Fu's words slightly alleviated the sadness of parting. The three of them looked at Jihua City from afar, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Xiaojiu's location is at Leibo Mountain. Should we go there now?"

"Go ahead. After more than 200 years of waiting, it's time to let it go free."

"Okay, let's go now~~"

The three of them boarded the Feida No. 2 and headed towards Leibo Mountain.

Leibo Mountain is located between Yuanzhu City and Kaji Town. There are three entrances to the Leibo Cave on Route 42.

“Coming here again, it just feels familiar.”

"Don't tell me that I used to come here to play when I was a kid."

Ah Fu nodded, looked around, and seemed to have found something. He pulled Sonia and Mingyi to a mountain wall where a little man and a small animal were carved.

"Zeraora and I often come here to kill monsters. I have beaten almost all the Pokémon here. I remember there was a monster over two meters tall in the cave. At that time, Zeraora was less than half of its height, and it almost scared us to death."

"That's amazing. He has dominated the entire mountain range with Zeraora since he was a child." Mingyi joked.

"Don't mention it. I racked my brains to upgrade that guy. I finally got the master's permission to come here, but I found that Zeraora couldn't flash at all. So we went back and prepared lighting equipment."

Sonia chuckled and said, "What do you think of you asking Zeraora to learn Flash?"

“Come on, come on, we are here again, it is fate, take a photo and send it to Nana… Cheese~~”

When the three people finally arrived at the quiet valley after going through many hardships, the sky seemed to respond to the subtle changes in their hearts and thick fog quietly fell.

The heavy fog not only blocked the vision, but also seemed to invisibly increase the sense of depression in my heart.

"Damn! We're not even allowed to light a cigarette. What kind of weather is this?"

Mingyi, who was already soaking wet, wiped the water off her face and couldn't help complaining: "I can't do it anymore, my whole body is covered in sweat, Ah Fu, please think of a solution."

Sonia frowned and said, "It's too humid here. Your body will be worn down if you stay here for a long time."

"Let me think about what to do... Fire Style: Storm Dance!"

With the help of Ah Fu's fire ninjutsu, the surrounding fog became much clearer and the humid air became dry. Most importantly, an ancient house appeared before his eyes.

This house was once the most prominent place on this land. With high walls, deep courtyards, flying eaves and pointed corners, every brick and tile reveals the meticulous craftsmanship and extraordinary taste of the owner.

Although the mottled copper ring on the door has lost its former luster, one can still imagine it being gently knocked countless times to welcome and see off guests.

Ah Fu even took a special look at the threshold, and just as the old man said, it was broken by the visitor.

However, time flies, and with the changes of the times, this house has gradually lost its former prosperity and bustle.

The walls are peeling off, revealing mottled bricks; the roof is leaking, and moss has quietly climbed up the eaves; those once exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings have become blurred under the erosion of wind and rain, and some have even broken and fallen off.

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds and wild flowers and grass growing rampantly, which seem to be silently announcing the decline and abandonment of the house.

Walking into this dilapidated house, it feels like traveling through time and space, back to that distant and vague era. Every step is stepping on the dust of history, and every echo is a call to the past.

The laughter and bright lights of the past have now turned into whispers in the wind. Only the silent bricks and stones are still standing, silently telling those forgotten stories.

"Xiaojiu, are you there? We are here to pick you up...Xiaojiu, Jiuer, Uncle Jiu... Damn! Where the hell is this cowardly kid!!"

"Afu, be careful!"

At the same time, a thick flame shot out from the darkness. Ah Fu was not surprised but happy. He raised one hand to block the opponent's sneak attack.

After the attack failed, a "big" shaped flame attacked again, but Ah Fu was too lazy to pay attention to it and slapped it away with a slap.

"Come out, Nine-Tailed Fox, let's have some fun with this little Nine-Tailed Fox."

The moment Ice Nine-Tail appeared, Xiaojiu, who was hiding in the dark, appeared in the courtyard.

Its height is about the same as that of the Ice Nine-Tail, but it has no one to help it for many years, so its mane is a little messy. However, these can't hide the elegant posture of the Fire Nine-Tail. Even if it is in such a mess now, it will do its best to protect this place.

"I'm here to pick you up, Xiaojiu."

Xiaojiu showed a vigilant expression, with the flame in his mouth burning. Ah Fu slowly approached it, stretched out his hand and gently stroked its head, "Come with us, the world outside is wonderful." Xiaojiu's eyes gradually softened, and it seemed to feel Ah Fu's kindness.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Sonia wrapped her clothes tightly and said, "We just met your master, and he asked me to come find you."

Ah Fu nodded, and under Kyuubi's excited gaze, told the story of the old man.
