Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"Thank you." Shinji didn't care about the outcome of the battle. He said calmly to Eslo that the battle between Dodai Kame and Ma just now was more like guidance than a battle. After this battle, Shinji clearly felt that Dodai Kame was one step closer to the championship.

Aislo understood what Shinji meant, "You're welcome," he responded.

"Looking forward to the next battle with you." Shinji nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Watching Shinji leave, Aislo waved to the girl who was walking by the side. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Contestant Aislo, please come with me to collect your prize." The staff member walked over and led the two people.

The prizes weren't much, just a powerful fishing rod, a white commemorative ball, some high-quality bait, a few different evolution stones, and some cash.

These things could be said to have been prepared by the organizers just before the finals. Fortunately, the funds brought in by this competition were sufficient to make a profit, otherwise just those few evolution stones would have been a huge loss.

After putting them one by one into his backpack, Eslo returned to the garden with Mary again. Their purpose this time was to say goodbye to Alice and the elves in the courtyard in advance.

————————————————————

"Huh? Leaving?" Alice looked very shocked. She didn't expect the two to leave so soon.

Seeing Aislo and Mary nod, Alice looked at the sky and frowned, asking: "Are you serious? It's already afternoon, and it won't be long before it gets dark. It's not a wise decision to walk at night. And have you bought everything for the journey? Food, water... You won't eat fruits along the way, will you? And..."

The two were confused by the continuous questions. Mary looked at Alice and even thought of her elder brother Nie Zi for some reason.

Seeing that Alice seemed to have misunderstood something, Aislo hurriedly explained: "No, we are not leaving now, but tomorrow morning. We will go buy supplies later, so you can rest assured."

For Eslo, the mistake of being unprepared will not be made a second time.

Alice's attitude softened. Just now, she saw that Aislo and Mary were a little young, and was a little worried about whether they had rich life experience and whether they were thoughtful. She subconsciously put on the identity of "sister" and gave them instructions and reminders. When she found out that it was her misunderstanding, she felt relieved.

"Then take me with you when you go shopping later. I can help you check if you have missed anything." Alice said with concern.

"Okay, thank you for your help then." Mary thanked him.

"It's okay, we are friends." Alice put her arm around Mary's shoulders.

"Mobe!" Morubeko's living space was occupied, and the little mouse had to jump onto Aislo's shoulder.

"Mobe~" Morubeko on the other side of Aislo's shoulder poked his head out and greeted him.

Aisiluo chuckled and said, "It's settled then. See you in front of the Baiyang Town Shopping Center later."

"See you later." Alice let go of Mary's hand and left.

After Alice left, Mary moved her shoulders slightly. She was a little uncomfortable with such close contact with others.

"So what should we do now?" Mary asked, looking at the people around her.

╮( ??w?? )╭"Well... I don't know." Aislo spread his hands.

(???.???)? ? ? "Then why don't you just go to the Poplar Town Mall with Alice to buy things?"

(ゝw?′★) "Isn't it because I saw that you seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable, so I helped you out so that you could have some time to relax?"

(?Thanks."

∠( ? 」∠)_"You smiled, right? You must have smiled! That's right~ You're so pretty, why do you always have a stiff face?"

＼(`Δ')／"No, no! Even if I laughed, it was because you made me angry!"

(?????)?? ? ? "Huh? What did I do?"

＜(｀^′)＞ “Idiot!”

╭(°A°`)╮"Hey, don't walk so fast, wait for me!"

*?((?5?))?*"Mobei~" x2

???"whee……"

One hour later, in front of Baiyang Town Shopping Center.

"What's wrong with you?" Alice asked, looking at the two people who were in a strange atmosphere.

They both said in unison, "Nothing!"

Aislo and Mary looked at each other and then looked away.

Aisiluo: So cute...

Mary: Ugh... so embarrassing, was I just being a spoiled brat? It's like a couple in love... what's wrong with me?

Alice: What on earth happened? (Patrick's voice)

Mary lifted her bangs and changed the subject: "Okay, let's go shopping!"

"Okay, let's go!" The blonde girl became lively again.

Tents, energy blocks, plenty of food and water, new toiletries...

As they walked, the three of them were already carrying large and small bags of things in their hands. Finally, the three decided to return to the garden.

"This might be better here."

"Give me this bag!"

"Mobe Mobe!"

"Stop it, Morubeko."

"Buyi~" "You!"

"You too."

.........

People and elves play freely in the garden, and time passes slowly in their hands like fine sand.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the sky was dyed orange and red, and the earth was covered with a veil. The young boys, girls and elves lay on the grass, staring blankly at the red glow in the sky.

…………

"Are you sure you want to go?" The blonde girl softly asked the question that already had an answer. Her voice seemed to be trembling a little, and was not as sunny and cheerful as it was not long ago.

"..."

No one answered, and the memories of the days they spent together flooded into their minds like running water.

"Sorry, I have something else to do. Excuse me." Alice swallowed her trembling. She stood up hurriedly and ran away. The crystal drops falling while she ran increased the sadness of parting.

Mary sat up and stared at the girl's back, not knowing what to think. And Eslo closed his eyes. He would smile at parting, but he never liked parting.

————————————————————

"Are you leaving?" Darkrai turned his head.

Aislo didn't say anything, just nodded.

"..."

A man and an elf looked at the bright moon that had already hung high in the sky.

After a long while, Darkrai suddenly said, "I will see you off."

"Thank you." The boy smiled.
