There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

While taking a short flight in a helicopter, Shuoya Ye took out his cell phone and sent messages to his two travel companions who had temporarily left.

But until his feet set foot on the road of Golden City, there was no response to the message he sent.

Shuo Gu Ye was quite open-minded about this.

After all, everyone has their own things to do, and no one will sit by their phone 24 hours a day to reply to text messages.

But when he woke up from the hotel the next day and took out his phone from under his pillow again, there was still no reply.

Sakuya Ye, wearing pajamas, woke up several Pokémon that were sleeping very badly one by one, walked barefoot to the window and opened the curtains.

The sun shines through the gaps in the tall buildings, and beams of light pierce into the eyes that are slightly sleepy.

Eevee climbed onto the boy's shoulder with its furry tail sweeping, and when its slender fingertips touched his nose, it stuck out its tongue and licked the pink knuckles.

"Huh... the weather is getting cooler."

He raised his hand to close the slightly open window, then turned around and continued calling.

"Monster Snake, Ditto, Psyduck, Nidoqueen, and White Sea Lion."

"Don't stay in bed!"

The Pokémon that were called slowly crawled out of their warm blankets and started to get busy.

Serpentor and Nidoqueen went downstairs and worked together to take out the snacks that the trainer had made last night from the incubator.

As Ditto looked drooling, the Monarch Snake mercilessly stretched out its vines and threw it away, and specifically asked the White Sea Lion to keep an eye on this glutton.

The white sea lion lying in the bathtub faced the crying Ditto, and reluctantly retracted its tail to make room for Ditto to squeeze in.

Shuoya Ye, who was standing in front of the sink, spoke incoherently while holding toothpaste in his mouth.

"Ibrahimovic is going to brush his teeth."

Not far away, the vines held up by the monarch snake were full of toothbrushes.

"buyi!" (?)

Ibrahimovic jumped onto the sink, raised his head and bared his teeth, waiting for something.

Shuoya Ye rinsed his mouth and spit out the foam, then wiped his hands with a towel beside him and touched the furry head, "Okay, I'll help you."

He turned to the Monarch Snake, who rolled his eyes, and said, "I'll trouble you, everyone."

The Monarch Snake nodded, lowered its eyes to look at Psyduck which was tiptoeing to fetch water, and handed it a toothbrush.

"Hey, Ditto, don't touch that--!"

Sakuya Ye, who was soaked along with Eevee, looked at Ditto, who was laughing awkwardly at Eevee's roar, and sighed.

"Looks like I need to take another bath."

"White Sea Lion, you don't have to come out. I'll just use the shower."

"Nidoqueen, get me some shower gel for Eevee."

----

"Do you know where we are going?"

Walking down the street, Sakuya Ye turned his head left and right, asking the two Pokémon that occupied his left and right shoulders respectively.

Ibrahimovic shook his head honestly and rubbed his cheek.

Ditto jumped down from Sakuya Ye's shoulder, briefly turned into a human figure, and then returned to its original form and was caught steadily in the air.

"That's right, we're going to Sakura's house to give her a surprise!"

Shuoya Ye was about to say something else when he caught a glimpse of the face of the man passing by him.

His feet were suspended in mid-air, and he glanced back.

But I only saw the man's back as he hurried away.

"buy?"

"No, nothing." Shuoya Ye shook his head and smiled, "I think I saw it wrong."

During the rest of the journey to Sakura's house, he lowered his head in thought and didn't say a word.

The man's profile kept flashing before his eyes, and he compared it with the face in his memory.

After a while, he took a deep breath and let himself go.

Forget it. The driver clearly left Jinhuang City after dropping me off last night. How could he appear here again?

----

"Hey, Sakura left early in the morning?"

Sitting on the sofa at Fujino's house, Sakuya Ye took a sip of the tea brought by Mrs. Fujino and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"I'm not so sure either."

Mrs. Fujino said with a little concern, "Since she returned home, she has been leaving early and returning late every day. Although I am very curious, since Sakura has her own secrets, I can't ask too much..."

"I think I was deceived by some bad man."

The young man in a vest leaning against the door frame raised his hand, "Didn't you see that she even dyed her hair? She also brought back a lot of cosmetics. I'm afraid she's dating some yellow-haired boys all day long."

"Xiao Xia!"

Mrs. Fujino glared at him, "How can you say that about your sister?"

Sakura's...brother?

The man in front of him rubbed his hair lazily and casually. His blue-purple hair color was exactly the same as Fujino Sakura's.

He was tall, wearing loose shorts and walking over with long legs. He sat down casually next to Shuo Gu Ye, picked up the fruit on the table and started eating as if no one was around.

"That's for the guests!" Mrs. Fujino said angrily, "How rude, Xia!"

"Oh?"

Fujino Natsu glanced at the boy next to her and handed the fruit in her hand to him.

"Are you going to eat?"

Shuoya Ye looked at the bitten apple, forced a smile and shook his head.

"Look, he said he doesn't want to eat."

Under Mrs. Fujino's almost fiery gaze, Fujino Natsu finished eating the apple in a few seconds, wiped it with a piece of paper, and stood up.

He glanced back at the boy's clothes.

Wear an orange sweatshirt with a black jacket, and shorts, long socks and white sneakers.

"It looks like the temperature has dropped." Fujino Natsu waved her hand and went to change clothes.

"Mom, where did you put the long sleeves?"

"Just washed, hanging outside."

Mrs. Fujino responded to the room, turned around and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxia is just like that. He didn't say he was dissatisfied or anything like that."

"It's okay." Shuo Guye shook his head. "I'm sorry for disturbing you so early in the morning without telling you in advance."

"Why are you apologizing to Auntie?" Mrs. Fujino looked around and quickly pointed at the red grapes in the fruit bowl. "Thanks to you for taking care of Sakura along the way. Just treat this place as your home. Don't be polite."

"Sakura also takes care of me a lot."

Shuogu Ye Rushan took a crystal clear red grape from the stream, chewed it and said, "So sweet!"

"Do you like to eat?"

Mrs. Fujino smiled and covered her lips. "Auntie will pack some for you later. We have plenty at home."

"Well, then I will respectfully obey your command—"

"Hey, you're not well yet?"

Shuo Gu Ye looked towards the voice and almost spit out the red grapes in his mouth.

No, the person in front was eaten by you?!

How can a person change so much in just a few minutes?

The man who appeared at the dining table had white headphones around his neck, a school bag slung across his body, and a blue and white coat on.

Under the khaki baseball cap, dense and scattered hair was draped between the eyebrows, the eyes were light brown, the nose was high, and the lips were pursed into an impatient arc.

This is clearly a young man full of youth. What is the connection between him and the half-asleep and half-awake decadent man from before?

Fujino Natsu waited for a long time, but saw that the two people, one big and one small, on the sofa didn't even move their buttocks, and stared at her in amazement.

"how?"

He looked at Sakuyaha, "Aren't you going to come with me to find Sakura?"

"No, no, Xia."

Mrs. Fujino stumbled, "Why are you suddenly dressed like this today?"

"What?" Fujino Natsu glanced at the woman in confusion, "Long pants, long sleeves, sneakers, what's the problem?"

"This is a big problem!" Mrs. Fujino trembled and raised her index finger. "You clearly went out wearing a vest, shorts and flip-flops before, so why are you wearing the clothes that are at the bottom of your closet today?"

"whispering sound--"

Fujino Natsu squeezed out a breath from between her teeth, "I just wanted to go see what kind of yellow-haired boy has bewitched my good sister."

To support Sakura?

Shuo Gu Ye suddenly realized.

He looked at the man's smooth chin with clear contours. Who would have guessed that there was a sparse beard there a few minutes ago?

"Hey, so are you going or not?"

Fujino Xia raised her eyebrows. "She has been acting mysterious lately. She has to go around in circles to avoid people whenever she goes out. I am the only one who knows where she has gone."

"If you miss this opportunity...believe me, you won't be able to find her even if you are given a week."

His eyes briefly lingered on the landline for a few seconds. "Not to mention that the signal towers in the entire Golden City are currently out of order, so no electronic product can contact her."

Is there something wrong with the signal tower?

Sakutani Ye finally understood why so many messages he sent to Fujino Sakura fell on deaf ears.

But then I thought back to Kitazawa Reiyuu who also did not reply to the message.

Hmm... I have already entered Jinhuang City, and the cell phone signal has been cut off, right?

"go with!"

Sakutani Ye stood up, said goodbye to Mrs. Fujino, and hurried to catch up with the man.

"Hurry up, if your legs are short, take a few more steps. I can't wait for anyone."

----

After coming out of the department store, Amaru and Happiny breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

"Burn medicine, antidote, antidote, wound medicine, bandage..."

Every time Amaru said something, Happiny would nod in confirmation while looking through the medicine box.

"...single splint, iodine."

Happiny closed the medicine box with a click and raised his hands together with Amaru.

"It's absolutely safe!"

A gust of wind blew by, and Happiny quickly raised his hand to cover the swallowtail hat with children's graffiti on it on his head, and did not let go until the wind died down.

Suddenly, its eyes lit up and it tugged at Ah Wan's white coat a few times.

"how--"

He looked in the direction that Ji Xingfu Dan was pointing and saw a familiar figure walking quickly on the opposite street.

"Brother Shuoya!"

Shuo Gu Ye paused and looked back.

Not far away, two round figures quickly crossed the road and stopped in front of him.

"Amaru! And there's also Happy Egg!"

"Phew, what a coincidence that we meet again."

Ah Wan patted the boy's shoulder, "Happiny and I came to the department store to buy some medicine."

Happiny held up the full medicine box and squinted his eyes to show Sakuya Ye their results.

"We were about to leave Golden City, but we just happened to run into you!"

Although Sakutani Ye was as excited as Awan, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure about to disappear around the corner. He only had time to say hello before hurriedly chasing after him.

Ah Wan and Happin were left confused, looking at each other and shrugged.

"I'm a busy man~"

Ah Wan didn't take this matter to heart. He looked at the time and said, "Let's go. It's time for us to leave Jinhuang City and continue our medical studies!"

----

Sakutani Ye, who was following Fujino Natsu around the city, couldn't help but ask.

"How long will it take...?"

"No hurries."

Fujino Natsu turned around and glared at him, "I told you it's hard to find, give me some time."

Awkwardness spread between the two.

After hesitating, Sakuya Ye finally spoke to break the silence, "Sakura shouldn't be with some yellow-haired boy—"

"I know."

Fujino Natsu interrupted, "She's made up like a ghost. If a blind man takes her away, our family should burn incense and pray to the Buddha."

Shuo Gu Ye was speechless for a moment.

What a poisonous mouth!

"Speaking of which-"

Fujino Natsu stopped, turned around and bent down to look into the boy's eyes, "You have been traveling with her for so long, haven't you noticed anything unusual about her recently?"

"Abnormal means...?"

"Broken heart, being dumped, unrequited love, and so on."

He shrugged under the speechless gaze of the azure eyes, "What else can cause a teenage girl's temperament to change drastically?"

"Uh..." Shuoguye guessed after thinking, "Maybe you are a little confused?"

"Confused?" Fujino Natsu savored the word and murmured, "That's right. After all, she can't get used to the life of sleeping in the open air without her reliable brother. It's understandable that she rushes back home like a baby bird returning to its nest..."

"No, I'm not confused like that."

Shuo Gu Ye waved her hand hastily, and said to the girl who had been traveling independently for quite some time, "Maybe you are confused about your life goals."

"Life goals?"

Fujino Natsu's eyes lost focus for a moment. "What are her life goals at this age?"

"The happy little piglet who loves to eat and drink said he wanted to be a trainer and then rushed to challenge the Golden Gym. In the end, he was severely punished by the gym leader."

His tone was calm, but his face was tinged with worry.

"When she returned home, she seemed to have a psychological trauma from the Golden Gym and even lost her voice for a while."

Lost voice——?!

Sakutani Ye's eyebrows jumped. This was something that Sakura had never revealed before.

"Plus, the reputation of the Golden Gym was not very good at that time, and with the advice of the psychiatrist, her parents finally decided to send her out of Golden City to slowly recover."

He straightened up and sighed, "What can I do? Let my disabled sister run around in the wilderness alone?"

"In the end, I have to take her to challenge gyms one by one."

Fujino Xia opened her eyelids and said half-reproachfully, "She had the nerve to leave me and sneak away. She has no sense of herself. She is so directionally challenged that she will get lost after walking three steps. Isn't she afraid of dying out there?"

"Children of her age can go to and from school by themselves at the age of five or six. But she is the only one who will go to the police station to find someone if no one is there to pick her up."

Fujino Natsu turned around, and her resentful look made Sakutani Ye freeze all over.

"I just want to see who this 'young man who ignited her desire to travel independently' is."

Under the man's half-closed gaze, Shuoya Ye scratched his head and spoke in an erratic tone.

"Is that so? Sakura was so cute when she was a child."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Awkward laughter echoed in the empty, abandoned park.

The girl in strange clothes suddenly raised her head and blinked.

"Is it Xiaoye...?"
