Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

[Eslo: I don't have anything to do here. Gender and other things can be switched at any time. How are the children in the orphanage doing over there? Are the snacks and toys I sent over a few days ago enough? ]

[Leo: I'm glad you're okay. The kids are cute, but they're a little too energetic, especially after getting the gifts you gave them. They keep clamoring to go out and travel to see you.]

[Eslo: As long as they like it, remember to tell me if you need anything. It must be very hard to take care of so many orphanages and welfare homes by yourself. Remember to take care of your health.]

[Leo: Don't worry, I'm a steady middle-aged man, how could I not be able to take care of myself? ]

[Leo: According to the time in Sinnoh, it should still be morning. You and Miss Mary should still be on your way, right?]

[Leo: I won’t bother you any more, and the children in the yard seem to be making noise again...]

【Eslo: Okay, bye.】

【Leo: Goodbye.】

In a room with extremely simple decoration, Leo, who was sitting on the sofa, quietly exited the chat bar and started watching the battle video between Eslo and Sirona.

This video posted by the official account of the Sinnoh League has already received a lot of likes and reposts, but Leo didn't care about it. Instead, he looked at the black-haired girl in the video and said to the air beside him, "Do you think there is such a magical ability in the world that allows people to freely change their gender on a physiological level?"

[I don't know.] The air around Leo suddenly twisted, and a black shadow appeared. It was a Darkrai. He continued, [But I can be sure that the person you are concerned about is definitely not a human.]

Although Darkrai doesn't know why Leo pays so much attention to the boy/girl who makes him feel close even if he only appears in the video, he never asks questions. Maybe it's because the other person looks a bit like Leo's dead child, or maybe it's because of something else. In short, there are many answers. After all, Darkrai still cannot understand the complexity of human emotions.

Of course, He doesn't need to understand, just like He never asked Leo why he accepted Him.

"Not human..." Leo raised his eyebrows, but didn't care. Maybe it was related to the God of Destruction?

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the childish noises from the yard adding a touch of liveliness to the place.

After a long while, Leo, who was listening to the children's noise, suddenly asked, "Why did the Hoenn Alliance seem to be so quiet today?"

[Not sure.] Darkrai shook his head slowly. With Red and Green guarding the place, he did not dare to go there rashly.

"Okay, forget it then." Leo collapsed on the sofa. "Since they are taking a day off, let's take a break as well."

After all, they are not mortal enemies, so there is no need to make things difficult for both sides.

On the other side, in a villa somewhere on the Hoenn Island, Daigo was strolling in the luxurious yet elegant hall.

But rather than calling it a hall, it would be more accurate to say that this is an extra-large collection room.

Various kinds of gems and stones of strange shapes, as well as some fossils and antiques, are displayed on one display stand after another.

"Sure enough, it's still so beautiful no matter how many times I see it." Daigo looked at his collection obsessively through the transparent bulletproof glass cover. This look was in stark contrast to his usual elegant and confident image.

"Okay, we need to evacuate as soon as possible..." Daigo came back to his senses. After all, a disaster is coming, and this island may not be spared.

If his island was gone, it was gone. He could just buy another one, but he couldn't lose his collection! These things were his lifeblood.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang, causing Daigo, who was about to ask Metagross to pack up, to pause.

"Mikoli? Shouldn't we have a day off today?" Daigo was puzzled. The "day off" he mentioned was not so much a holiday as it was a change of job location, just a transfer from the "front line" to "logistics".

"Hello? Mikoli, what's going on?" Daigo answered the phone.

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Mikoli complained first, then asked in a strange tone, "Um, Daigo, what is your relationship with Aislo?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Daigo was stunned. The other party would not ask this question for no reason. Did something happen to Aisiluo? Thinking of this, he asked with a little concern, "Is there something wrong with Aisiluo?"

"No..." Mikoli paused, and the strangeness in his tone became even stronger. "I'm just asking."

"Xiao Luo, of course you are my best friend." Daigo smiled, looking very natural.

He has always treasured the stones that the other party gave him.

"...Really?" Mikoli looked at the girl-like Eslo in the video with hesitation. Although Daigo has always been elegant and polite, this is the first time he has paid so much attention to a girl... Could he really like this one?

Hiss… Mikoli took a breath of cold air. It’s not that bad, is it? Judging from Daigo’s usual behavior, he doesn’t look like a copper smelter…

Our dear teacher Mikoli never even doubted that Daigo didn't know about Aislo.

"Of course. Why do you seem so weird today?" Daigo was puzzled. He really didn't have much time to surf the Internet recently, but he shouldn't be out of touch with the times.

"Uh...just, um...never mind, I'll send you a video, you can take a look."

……

"what?"

The surprised and confused voice echoed in the empty villa.

…………

Looking back, Aislo had turned off his phone and was walking side by side with Mary in the soft sunlight. Now they had left Yuan Town and were heading towards their next destination.

The two of them strolled quietly on the path, no one spoke, letting the sun or the shade of the trees shine on them.

During this time, Aislo turned his head carefully from time to time to look at Mary, like a cat guarding its treasure, and glanced at her from time to time to make sure that the other party was safe.

Mary naturally noticed the girl's gaze, but did not point it out. She continued walking calmly, but for some reason, her cheeks turned a little red.

[It’s so nice...] Aislo’s eyes were gentle, and happiness was rippling in his black pupils.

[Ah, ah, Xiao Luo, you don't care about life span anymore? ] Grandma Geng Gui looked a little surprised.

[Since they are sure of each other's feelings, why should they hurt each other because of these things?] Aislo glanced at the person next to him again.

[But, when she gets old, you will be sad.] Darkrai joined the conversation.

[So what?] Aislo didn't care, [I will always love her until the end of my life.]

[Oh? Do you understand what love means?] Gengar's grandmother smiled.

[I don't fully understand.] Aislo shrugged, [But Leo once told me not to regret it.]

Yveltal did not interrupt because He did not know what to say.

[Eh? This is not like you. I thought you would find someone to talk to like before.] Gengar's grandmother said with a smile.

[In your eyes, I have no strength at all?] Aislo rolled his eyes.

[Since you like that little girl Mary, why don't you confess your feelings now?] Yveltal's sudden question made Eslo blush.

「Ah, this... is a bit too early...」

……

The two girls walked towards the distance, towards the cold north.

Their next stop is - Xuefeng City!
