Pokémon the Movie: Pallet Town Rookie

After Xiaoyuan checked all the Pokémon, she and Nana went into the forest again, preparing to go to the nature park to participate in the insect catching competition.

As for Nana, she felt her blood boiling because she was participating with Xiaoyuan. She wanted to prove herself along the way, so she took the lead with Bayleaf and Little Crocodile and swept all the way.

Xiaoyuan looked at Nana like this and seemed to remember her past self. Dao also watched with interest. He didn't intend to stop her. He just rode on Bulbasaur and supported her.

Soon, they came to a stream again. Nana saw the stream in front of her and said happily: "Master, look, there is a river ahead!"

Xiao Yuan looked at Nana, smiled and said, "There is indeed a river, but it seems that the two of us don't have fishing rods!"

"Da Nai!"

When Venusaur heard Xiaoyuan's words, it immediately denied it. Then, it stretched out its whip, placed it in front of Xiaoyuan, and shook it, as if saying: Master, isn't this the best fishing rod?

"My two friends, we meet again."

At this moment, I suddenly heard a cold voice coming from behind me. There was no fluctuation in the words, which seemed to reveal a bone-chilling chill.

Xiao Yuan looked back in surprise and found that it was the same mysterious old man from last time, but this time, he was not accompanied by the powerful Bangilas.

The old man looked at Xiaoyuan's vigilant expression, but seemed unconcerned. He just held the fishing rod and swung it fiercely towards the calm water, as if he didn't care about Xiaoyuan and the other person at all.

When Nana saw the old man appear again, she couldn't help feeling nervous. She quickly took out the Poké Ball, quickly took back the Crocodile and the Bay Leaf, and then quietly hid behind Xiaoyuan, fearing that she would bring trouble to Xiaoyuan.

The three of them remained silent, and the situation remained deadlocked, with no one taking the initiative to speak.

Xiao Yuan looked at the old man in front of him, feeling a little conflicted. He felt that it was inappropriate for him to remain silent, but he didn't know how to break the deadlock. Finally, he decided to jump off Bulbasaur, walk forward, and try to communicate with him.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Xiao Yuan asked cautiously.

The old man raised his head, looked at Xiaoyuan calmly, and slowly replied: "Jiping, you can just call me Jiping. My two friends, I think you didn't bring the fishing rods I gave you last time!"

Xiaoyuan showed a trace of embarrassment on her face. She hesitated for a moment and wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by the old man next to her.

"I understand. After all, with my aura, your concern is necessary."

After saying that, the man took out a steel pipe from his bag, stood up, and swung it gently, and the steel pipe turned into an exquisite fishing rod.

He took the fishing rod, handed it to Xiaoyuan, and said helplessly: "My friend, don't lose it this time."

Xiao Yuan took the fishing rod with mixed feelings. He held the fishing rod tightly, staring at the strange old man, thinking to himself: Could it be that I was wrong? This old man had no ill intentions, but simply liked fishing?

At this moment, the old man had already sat down, quietly staring at the calm water, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. He was motionless, as calm as a sculpture. At this moment, he seemed to not care about Xiaoyuan's movements at all, and was completely immersed in his own world.

Xiao Yuan looked at the old man, and after a moment of silence, he tried hard to suppress his curiosity and doubts. He turned to Bulbasaur and Nana and whispered, "Let's go, let's leave here quickly." After that, he walked behind him.

Hearing Xiaoyuan's words, Nana and Bulbasaur looked at each other, without saying anything, and immediately turned around to follow Xiaoyuan's footsteps and quickly left the river. They walked farther and farther away, and their figures gradually disappeared into the dense woods.

However, they had not walked far before they saw a familiar figure standing in front of the tree, with his chest exposed, punching the tree one punch after another.

When Xiao Yuan saw the man, she shouted happily, "Master Xiba, Master Xiba, why are you here?"

Hearing Xiao Yuan's call, Xiba suddenly turned around, looked at him, smiled innocently, and said, "My dear disciple, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you here?"

"Hey, Master, I just challenged Gym Master Xiao Qian. By the way, Master, let me introduce you. This is Nana, a rookie trainer. I was entrusted by Professor Kong Mu to take care of her." Xiao Yuan said.

"Oh! Nana, right? So, you are my apprentice! Hahahaha." When Xiba heard this, he smiled and said.

When Xiaoyuan heard what Shiba said, she pushed Nana forward, as if she wanted Nana to say a few words to Shiba.

Nana looked at Shiba and said nervously, "Hmm...Hmm, Shiba-senpai, hello...hello, I'm Nana, nice to meet you."

Seeing Nana's nervous look, Xiba patted her shoulder with a smile and said, "Hey, little girl, don't be nervous. Although I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings, I am still a trainer. Look, that guy never gets nervous when he sees me."

"Master, why should I see you being so nervous? It's just a month!" Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

When Xiba heard this, he also smiled and said, "Yeah, we haven't seen each other for almost a month!"

When Xiao Yuan heard what Xiba said, she was slightly stunned, but she quickly recovered and smiled, saying, "Yes, it's been more than a month, Nana, come over quickly, don't worry! My master won't laugh at you."

"Oh!" After hearing Xiaoyuan's words, Nana slowly walked over and stood back beside Xiaoyuan.

When Xiaoyuan saw Nana coming back, she said to her, "Nana, you don't have any gifts to give me when you meet my master. How about this, you go pick some fruits from the nearby trees! Remember to pick a lot."

"Hey, my dear disciple, there's no need to do that. We are just friends!" Xiba said generously after hearing Xiaoyuan's words.

"No, no, no, Master, it is necessary. After all, this is the first time Nana meets you, so we have to show some appreciation. Nana, hurry up! Hurry up!" Xiaoyuan suddenly said seriously.

"Okay!" Nana looked at Xiaoyuan's eyes, and although she didn't understand what she meant, she still agreed and left, looking back every few steps.

Xiao Yuan was relieved to see Nana leave. He waited for a while, then turned around, gently touched Venusaur, and said to Siba: "Master, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how can you be so forgetful? It's only been a short time! You forgot, Venusaur, the seed bomb!"

After saying that, Xiao Yuan immediately dodged to the side, and then Venusaur immediately attacked. A series of light bullets shot out of Venusaur's mouth and hit Hiba directly.
