Pokémon's Little Adventure

In the long and slightly bleak evening, Sonia watched the figure of the wise old man slowly disappear, feeling an indescribable gain and enlightenment in her heart.

She sighed softly and turned to Ah Fu beside her and said, "In fact, if you savor it carefully, the old man's words contain profound philosophy, which is worthy of our deep thought and attempt to integrate into our own world."

Upon hearing this, Ah Fu frowned slightly and raised a disapproving smile: "Oh? I'm almost tired of hearing those old clichés. In my opinion, my fighting skills are already sophisticated enough and there is no need to rely on those vague 'principles' to improve them." His words revealed his confidence in his own strength and his contempt for traditional wisdom.

Sonia gently shook her head, her eyes sparkling with understanding and patience. "Afu, do you know that 'people involved are often confused, but bystanders can see things more clearly'? Your combat strategy is indeed rigorous and thorough, like a precision instrument, and every move is carefully considered."

"However, it is this excessive rationality and calculation that may have caused you to overlook the purest and most precious connection between you and Pokémon - trust."

She paused and continued, "You mentioned Ash. His fighting style may seem reckless, but it is this undisguised trust and enthusiasm that allows Pokémon to feel unprecedented freedom and power."

"They are willing to do their best for him, even beyond their own limits, because in that trust, they find their own stage and value. This is where arrogance lies, and it is also a drawback."

"Of course what you said makes sense. It's nothing more than a conflict between reason and emotion. However, this is also a manifestation of trust. Pokémon trusts me and is willing to fight. All I do is to let it win at the lowest cost. You say I'm a fighting machine, but I don't agree with that."

"Victory and failure are both conditions for the growth of Pokémon. Don't worry, I will always stay sober and will not use any means to achieve so-called victory." Alfu patted Sonia's shoulder and said sincerely.

Sonia sighed secretly when she saw this, but she did not give up. She knew very well that the barrier in Ah Fu's heart could not be broken overnight.

“Trust is the strongest bond between trainers and Pokémon. It is not only an emotional exchange, but also a source of strength.”

“The world of Pokémon is far richer and deeper than we can imagine. It has endless potential, waiting to be discovered and released. And emotions are the key to open this door.”

This time it was Ah Fu's turn to be confused. He looked at Sonia strangely, "You are weird, why are you suddenly interested in arguing with me about these issues?"

"I just hope you can better understand the relationship between Pokémon and trainers." Sonia said seriously, "Also, don't forget that we are not only trainers, but also their friends."

Ah Fu frowned slightly, thinking about Sonia's words.

"Maybe you have a point...but I still need time to think." He looked into the distance, thoughtful.

Sonia smiled and nodded, "It's okay, I believe you will find your own answer. After all, you are such a great trainer."

Ah Fu's eyes flickered when he heard this, as if he was having a fierce struggle deep in his heart. He looked up into the distance, his eyes showing both confusion and determination.

"Trust? I want to trust too. I have suffered so much and the only person I trust is myself. When you are betrayed by the person you trust, how do you face it?" His voice was low and hoarse, revealing the pain deep in his heart.

Sonia's heart tightened when she heard this. She had never seen Ah Fu so vulnerable and helpless.

She took the initiative to hold Ah Fu's hand, trying to convey his strength and warmth, and said softly: "I don't know your past experiences, and so do I, Ming Yi, and Nana. We have promised to spend our lives together, so please open your heart and don't bear it alone."

Ah Fu's heart tightened, and fragments of past experiences slowly emerged in his mind. He clenched his teeth and exerted a little force, and a trace of blood gradually flowed out.

When Sonia saw Ah Fu in pain because of the memory and even bit his lip, her inner tenderness was completely touched. She did not back down, but strengthened her determination. She hugged Ah Fu tightly, using her body temperature and tears to convey silent support and comfort.

She choked up and said, "Don't think about it. It's my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you. Forget those memories. You still have me."

Ah Fu closed his eyes and felt Sonia's embrace. His fragility and pain were temporarily relieved in Sonia's arms. His body gradually relaxed.

"Thank you, Sonia." Ah Fu's voice was full of gratitude.

Sonia patted Afu's back gently, as if comforting a wounded child.

At this moment, no words were needed, the emotional exchange between the two had reached an unprecedented depth.

"We are a family, and no matter what happens, we will face it together," said Sonia.

"I was in ..."

Just as he was about to tell her story, Sonia stretched out her jade finger to block his mouth. "When you really let it go and treat these as a joke, I will be willing to listen. Everyone has their own secrets, and I respect you."

"Thank you." Ah Fu closed his eyes, and soon there was a faint snoring sound. The chrysanthemum leaf in his arms gently rubbed his chin, and it obediently let him hold it in his arms, and then quietly closed its eyes.

Under the soft afterglow of the setting sun, the two figures were stretched out, appearing particularly warm and peaceful. The world around them seemed to be still, with only the sound of their heartbeats and the occasional playful sounds of Pokémon in the distance, interweaving into a harmonious melody.

Sonia carefully adjusted her position so that Alfu could snuggle more comfortably in her arms.

She knew very well that to truly break down the barriers in Ah Fu's heart, it would take more than just the passage of time, but also countless such tenderness and understanding, countless helping hands extended when the other person needed it, and unwavering trust and support.

As night falls, the starry sky unfolds like a scroll, and the bright stars dot the deep sky, as if silently witnessing the restoration and rebirth of this relationship.

Sonia was not in a hurry to wake up Ah Fu, but stayed with him quietly, enjoying this rare peace and tranquility.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone gently on them, Ah Fu slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he felt was Sonia's warm embrace and the gentle touch of the chrysanthemum leaves. An unprecedented warmth and strength surged into his heart. He looked up at Sonia, with a new light flashing in his eyes, which was the expectation for the future and the deep gratitude for the person in front of him.
