Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

In a closed room, darkness shrouds the room's layout, and a few candles on the table are the only light sources in the entire room. The dim light adds a touch of weirdness to the place.

The dim light revealed two figures. They sat opposite each other, their fingers crossed in front of them, their eyes locked, engaging in an invisible struggle again and again.

"Is it hard?" The blue-haired figure spoke first, tapping rhythmically with his right hand on the table.

Another black-haired figure took out a box from behind and slid it over, then sneered and said, "You'll know if it's hard or not after you take a look."

The blue-haired man stopped the box, opened it and took out a few stones from it, "Good stuff!" He gently stroked the "gem" that was emitting a faint fluorescence. This rare thing is rarely seen in the world.

"Deal?" "Deal."

The deal was done, and the two men smiled and shook each other's hands. It was a truly pleasant transaction.

"Mr. Daigo, Aislo, what are you doing? Why don't you turn on the lights?" As the door opened, Xiaozhi stuck his head in, "Pika Pika?" Pikachu on his shoulder seemed to have a similar question and stretched out his little hand to turn on the lights in the room.

"Cough cough cough" x2. After Pikachu turned on the light, Xiaozhi finally saw the scene inside the house. The two of them were standing arm in arm, like brothers who had been together for many years. The candles and boxes on the table had long disappeared.

"Are you sick? Are you okay?" Xiaoguang also walked in, with worry in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay." x2, Daigo and Aislo stopped coughing awkwardly, "We were just chatting and exchanging some things." Aislo said, and Daigo echoed.

Eslo just showed the evolution stones that Morubek had found from the ruins to Daigo, who had become his friend, and Daigo immediately stuck to him. You have to know that those dark stones, which were originally top-grade, had been reborn after being nurtured by Eslo. This was as attractive to Daigo as Gon seeing his older sister or Du seeing a powerful flying dragon-shaped elf.

And Eslo was also very generous. He decided to give a few directly to Daigo. After all, as long as there were Dark Stones, he could develop into this appearance no matter what quality it was. Daigo was also very moved. The fact that such a priceless treasure was given away at will made him more determined to accept this brother.

As for why they had to make that "death" just now, the atmosphere was so exciting that they both felt that they would be sorry if they didn't say something. By the way, the box containing the evolution stone was the one that Shirona had given them.

"That's weird." Xiaozhi scratched his head. He didn't understand why they had to turn off the lights when chatting.

Mary looked at the two people arm in arm and shook her head slightly. She couldn't understand how they could have formed such a deep friendship in such a short time.

"Miss Sirona is going back to deal with Chi Ri's affairs. Before she leaves, she asked us to give this to you." At this time, Xiao Gang appeared and handed Aislo a letter.

Aislo took it and opened it, and it read [Invitation to the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Conference] on it.

"An invitation to the Lily of the Valley Tournament?" Daigo came over and explained, "This thing allows some trainers who don't have gym badges to participate in the Lily of the Valley Tournament. Champions and top trainers usually have a few of these, which is a way to help newcomers. Of course, it's up to the trainers themselves to decide whether to participate."

"Does the Sinnoh champion also want to retire?" Daigo pondered.

"Will Aislo also participate in this year's Lily of the Valley Conference?" Xiaozhi looked expectant. "Pika!" Pikachu also looked full of fighting spirit.

The Poké Ball on Aislo's waist shook slightly. Seeing the high morale of his Pokémons, Aislo replied: "Since I've been invited, I will definitely join in the fun."

"Great!" Xiaozhi cheered happily.

"Shouldn't you be nervous because of a new strong opponent?" Mary asked doubtfully.

"Maybe this is Xiaozhi." Xiaogang smiled. It was precisely because of this that he accompanied Xiaozhi on the journey.
