Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"Hmm...what should I say later?" Mary walked slowly to the door of the Pokémon Center, but the closer she got to the door that seemed ordinary in the past, the more nervous the girl became. Even her palms were sweating, and the scratches on her palms left by her first learning were painful, but Mary didn't care about that at the moment.

Will he accept my gift? Will he like my gift? Will he dislike it?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Mary became, and naturally many unrealistic scenes appeared in her mind.

……

"What, Mary, how could you think of giving me something so disgusting?"

"You can't even make a donut properly, Mary, you are such a useless piece of shit~"

"Hey, what's wrong with your expression? You're not sad, are you? Trash! Trash!"

……

At the same time, the words and scenes when I said goodbye to Miss Naixue also came to my mind.

"You must do your best~" Naxue smiled meaningfully. She really supports this couple online.

Mary avoided his gaze, then said goodbye hurriedly and ran away.

……

"Eh..." An inexplicable blush flew onto the girl's cheeks. She shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of all these inexplicable fantasies from her mind. Finally, the hesitant girl decided to ask for help from her longest-time companion, "Morubeko, what should I do?"

And now, let's look at Morubek on Mary's shoulder. The little hamster is looking at her partner's colorful expressions in confusion. She had never imagined that her partner had such excellent facial expressions.

Just as Morube was about to say something, she subconsciously looked forward, but just this one look made her hair stand on end. She then quickly snatched the small gift box from Mary's hand and ran to a blind spot where she couldn't see the door.

"Huh? Morubeko..." Mary was startled by this sudden change, but she soon understood why Morubeko had such a big reaction.

"Mary, I just saw you standing there in a daze for a long time through the window. Are you okay?" Eslo's somewhat worried voice reached the girl's ears, causing Mary to open her eyes wide and react quickly.

"No, I'm fine." Mary's eyes were wandering, but she still answered calmly.

"Where did that child Morubeko go? I saw her on your shoulder just now." Aislo tilted his head in confusion.

"Oh, she must be going out to play somewhere?" Mary covered for her hamster. After all, if the gift box was seen by the boy, it would not be considered a surprise.

"Oh..." Aislo didn't think much about it. He just took the girl's hand and walked towards the Pokémon Center.

"Hey? Why are your hands so sweaty?" Aislo felt the delicate touch in his hands and took a look subconsciously, "And what's the matter with this injury?"

Facing the boy's worried gaze, Mary's brain worked rapidly, and then she spoke quickly: "I fell, I accidentally fell on the road."

"Did you fall? Okay." Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to say anything, Aislo didn't ask any further questions. He pretended to believe it and pulled Mary to the Chanterelle in the Pokémon Center.

"Please, Jigglypuff, can you help with the treatment?" Seeing that there was no one around Jigglypuff, Eslo walked forward.

The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her body stiffened as she felt the warmth coming from the boy.

"Lucky~"

As the gentle cry fell, a light pink halo enveloped Mary's palm. When the light faded, the girl's palm had returned to its former white and smooth appearance.

"Thanks……"

After saying thank you quietly, the two went upstairs in silence.

Aisiluo: What should I do next? Should I just hand her the gift? Well, that seems to be possible. ヽ(°▽°)ノ

Mary: It's over, it's over... Where's Morubek? Where is she now?

The girl's beloved Morubeko was standing at the door, watching the scene with her little head poking out. She carefully raised the gift box above her head with her paws. After watching the boy and girl disappear at the end of the stairs, the little hamster slowly walked over.

But the next moment, Molubeko suddenly felt that her hands were empty. She looked up quickly and called out in confusion, "Mobe?"

The gift box that was in Morubek's hand just now was floating next to the flower rock monster. She smiled and said to Morubek, "You are walking too slowly. Follow me."

"Mobe!"

……

The scene changed, and Aislo and Mary were already sitting on both sides of a table in a room. The atmosphere became silent for a moment.

Mary lowered her head and looked around at this moment. The reason was simple: the gift was not in her hand and she really didn't know what to do.

"Uh, did you eat at Miss Nai Xue's place?"

In the end, it was Aislo who broke the silence. Being considerate, he saw the embarrassment of the girl at the moment.

"Oh, I ate it." Mary had just finished speaking when her stomach made a protesting sound.

The air became quiet again, and Mary slowly closed her eyes, almost becoming a steam princess.

"Okay, eat the cake first to fill your stomach while I order takeout." Aislo took out his mobile phone, sighing at how technology has changed his life, and handed over the small cake he had prepared long ago.

At this time, the small cake had already taken off the gift box packaging, because Aislo felt it was unnecessary. It just showed its simple and plain appearance without reservation - a simple cylinder wrapped in a layer of snow-white cream, nothing more.

"Thank you..." Mary raised her head, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the donuts on a plate that had appeared beside her legs.

There was also a piece of paper stuck on the plate, with the strange smile of Huayan Monster and the smiling face of Morubeko drawn on it. It was obvious who had drawn it.

The girl picked up the plate and pretended to take it out of her space backpack before finally putting it on the table.

"You probably haven't eaten yet, right? Want to try it?" Mary pushed the plate towards the boy.

"Hey? Donuts? Thank you!" Aislo picked up a piece without hesitation and took a bite, "Mmm... so sweet."

"No, it's not delicious?" Mary clenched her fists without knowing when.

"No, it tastes very good!" Eslo shook his head.

"Really? That's great..." Mary finally smiled, then picked up a fork and put a piece of cake into her mouth...

Oh, wait, why did he/she suddenly come back with the cupcakes/donuts?

The same question came to the minds of Aislo and Mary almost at the same time. Then, both of them seemed to realize something and looked at each other in a daze.

"Did you do this?" x2

Obviously, both of them already had the answer in their hearts.

"Thank you!" Aislo's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Well, thank you." Mary's lips were curled up into a smile at some point, that beautiful smile was like ice and snow suddenly melting, gentle and joyful.

The two smiled at each other, savoring the gifts from each other and feeling each other's inner emotions.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the room through the window, casting a blush on the cheeks of the two people. This was the farewell of the sunset, but also a kind of silent confession.

……

"Click..."

The sound of the camera shutter was covered up by the flower rock monster. She looked at another photo with satisfaction. This was the tenth photo taken by this camera after she experienced death.
