There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"It's raining." Xiao Mao raised his backpack above his head and walked hurriedly. "Why did the weather change so suddenly? It was sunny just a second ago."

"This is a forest. It's too dangerous on a rainy day." Xiaoye imitated Xiaomao's actions and followed him. "Let's walk faster. This place should not be far from Tokiwa City."

Xiao Mao paused, as if he saw something, then he walked slowly over and pulled aside a patch of grass.

"What's wrong, Xiaomao?" Xiaoye followed and asked, "Is there anything here?"

"Yes." Xiao Mao nodded and threw a Poké Ball. With a flash of red light, the Pokémon was captured by Xiao Mao without any resistance. "It's a Spearow. There are a lot of burn marks on its body. It's probably left after being electrocuted or burned not long ago."

After saying that, Xiao Mao put the backpack down from above his head and put it on his back. His hair, wet by the rain, stuck tightly to both sides of his cheeks.

"Wait!" Xiao Ye stumbled and quickly steadied himself to catch up with Xiao Mao. "Why did you suddenly speed up? It's easy to fall if you run too fast on a rainy day."

"I know." Xiao Mao walked without slowing down, casually smoothing the hair stuck to his forehead, and ran forward with all his strength, "But this Spearow's injuries are too serious, we need to send it to the Pokémon Center for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will die!"

Xiao Ye's expression changed when he heard that and he quickened his pace. In the heavy rain, two teenagers were seen running wildly in the rain. The monkey monster curiously poked its head out from the treetops, and in just a moment it turned into a drowned chicken. Its hair wet by water lost its previous fluffiness, making the whole Pokémon smaller by more than one circle.

The Pidgeot and the Pidgeot had already selected the best place for Bobo to spend the heavy rain.

One of the Pidgeots made a brief eye contact with Xiaoye while he was running. It was this glance that made Xiaoye slow down his pace. He suddenly had an idea and took out a Poké Ball and opened it in the center of his palm.

"Ditto, do you know any Pokémon that's faster?"

The summoned Ditto first took out another blue orange fruit from Xiaoye's pocket, biting it lightly and nodding.

"Great!"

Xiao Ye stretched out his hand to take the Poké Ball that Xiao Mao had just put away from his waist, but Xiao Mao only glanced at him and understood his intention, and turned his body in coordination with Xiao Ye's movements.

"Then please take this little guy to the Pokémon Center to find Miss Joy. She will definitely understand what you mean."

Ditto swallowed the blue tangerine fruit in one gulp, and his body began to stretch and deform.

After a while, a Pidgeot stood on Xiaoye's shoulder. It stretched out its beak, took the shrunken Poké Ball in its mouth, spread its wings and flew high into the sky.

"The Pokémon Center is the largest place in the city with a 'P' sign on it." Xiao Mao was worried that Ditto didn't know the Pokémon Center, so he quickly added, "Please, Ditto, I will definitely treat you to a big meal when we get to the Pokémon Center!"

"Bi--!" After hearing the word "feast", Ditto, who had transformed into Pidgeot, let out a loud cry and moved forward at a speed that could cut through the rain.

Not long after Ditto left, a yellow light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, extremely dazzling.

"What is that...?" Xiao Mao looked at the lightning that was gradually expanding and came into view and shouted, "It's thunder!"

Xiao Ye looked in shock at the lightning that almost illuminated the entire forest. He seemed to have lost his voice and could not utter a word.

The lightning flashed for a moment and disappeared in a flash. If it weren't for the flashing spots of light in front of Xiaoye's eyes, no one would have been able to connect the terrifying lightning with the peaceful and harmonious forest.

"But why would a Pokémon that can release thunder of such power appear near Viridian City?" Xiao Mao felt the same way. The unreal vision made them wonder if the scene they just saw was just an illusion.

What made the two of them even more dumbfounded was that the next second the heavy rain decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dark clouds above their heads gradually dissipated.

But in just about a minute, the forest changed from extremely bad weather to cloudless good weather.

After the rain, a rainbow hangs in the sky, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.

A "toucan" with a glimmer of rainbow is moving towards the horizon where the sun is.

Wherever it flies, there will be a gorgeous rainbow following it.

Spots of light sprinkled down from the branches and landed on the young men whose clothes were wet.

"Ms. Joy! How's my Spearow?"

"Ms. Joy, please save Pikachu!"

Xiao Mao shouted loudly as soon as he stepped into the door of the Pokémon Center with his left foot, and another trainer holding Pikachu shouted with him.

"Xiaozhi?"

"Xiao Mao?"

Both of them were stunned. They had never thought that they would meet again so soon. However, the old enemies were fed up with each other and immediately started quarreling.

"Ms. Joy, please save Pikachu first! We were just chased by a group of Spearows and it was seriously injured!"

"No, Miss Joy. My Spearow has severe burn marks on its body. If it is not treated, its life will be in danger! Please save it first!"

Xiao Mao even added, fearing that Miss Joy would not know which Spearow he was talking about, "It's the Poké Ball that Cardinal... Pidgeot brought. The one inside is my Spearow!"

At this moment, Ditto, who had transformed into Pidgeot, brightened up his eyes. He saw his trainer looking for something from afar. He immediately got rid of Miss Junsha who had been pestering him, threw himself into Xiaoye's arms with tears in his eyes, and turned back into his original form.

[That woman is so scary. She keeps dangling something silver in her hand and won't give me anything to eat.]

Ditto whined and complained, not caring at all whether Xiaoye could understand what it said.

"Please stop making noise!"

Miss Joy's shouting successfully stopped the quarrel between the two novice trainers. She picked up Pikachu and said, "Spearl is already in the treatment room for treatment. Pidgeot was brought in just in time."

After Pikachu was gently placed on the bed by Miss Joy, Jigglypuff pushed the small bed into the treatment room.

"I understand your concerns about Pokémon." Joey turned around and comforted the two novice trainers. "But since they have been sent to the Pokémon Center, please rest assured. We will not give up on any Pokémon and will do our best to treat them."

After saying that, she immediately hurried into the treatment room and closed the door. The light with a syringe pattern on the door also turned red.

"Young man, please don't move!"

Miss Junsha's shout brought Xiaoye back to his senses while he was busy checking Ditto's status. He still couldn't figure out why after he found Ditto, it buried its body tightly in his arms and refused to even show its face.

Until a pair of silver handcuffs suddenly appeared in front of him, and Miss Junsha's scolding sounded in his ears, "Please show me your ID card and tell me your identity immediately!"

Xiao Ye, who was inexplicably warned by Miss Junsha, looked confused. Professor Oak did not tell him that such a thing existed. "What is an ID card?"

"A Pokémon Guide is also fine." Miss Junsha learned from the previous novice trainer's lesson and reminded, "It seems that you are also a trainer, right? A Pokémon Guide is a standard for every trainer."

Xiao Ye quickly put down his backpack and started searching.

"Excuse me, wait a moment..."

"Milk, paper towels, kettle, lunch box..."

“…Found it!”

Xiaoye handed the red Pokémon encyclopedia to Miss Junsha and said, "Sorry, it just rained heavily and things are a bit messy. I didn't have time to sort them out."

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you can prove your identity, none of this matters." Miss Junsha changed her tone after seeing the Pokémon encyclopedia. She even spun the handcuffs in her hands twice and put them away by inertia. "Next time, remember to take out the encyclopedia when someone asks you for your ID card, open it and press this button."

As she spoke, Miss Junsha pressed a red button on the top, and a mechanical sound came from the illustration.

"This Pokémon Encyclopedia is for Ye Sakuya. Come on! Pokémon Trainer! Also, this Pokémon Encyclopedia cannot be reissued if it is stolen, so please be careful. Message from Professor Oak of Pallet Town."

At the same time, Xiaoye's face also appeared in the place used to display Pokémon pictures. It was the headshot that Professor Oak had secretly taken at some point.

Xiaoye took a deep breath. He finally understood why Professor Oak had been fidgeting and pacing around while he and Xiaomao were waiting for Xiaozhi. He would pat his head from time to time and whisper, "Why do I always feel like I've forgotten something?"

It turned out that I forgot to explain to them the usage and purpose of the illustrated guide!

However, before one problem was solved, another one arose. Miss Junsha, who had been smiling warmly just now, frowned again and pointed her white-gloved fingertips at the trembling Ditto and said.

"Although the identification issue has been resolved, your Pokémon has violated the city's laws by speeding in the city's skies."

Ditto, who could never forget the torture of the silver handcuffs, stiffened all over and shrank deeper into Xiaoye's arms.

"Oh my, what a cute reaction!" Miss Junsha couldn't hold back her laughter. She comforted the two people with the same expression, "But don't worry. Joey has told me that Ditto flew in the city to help the seriously injured Spearow. I won't punish you."

"Thank you, Miss Junsha."

Xiaoye felt relieved and took out her last blue orange fruit and put it next to Ditto's mouth. "You did a great job, Ditto. It's thanks to you that Spearow was able to get timely treatment."

Ditto still curled up into a ball, and even the blue orange fruit couldn't tempt it to stick its head out.

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Miss Junsha left consciously when she saw Ditto's frightened look. Before leaving, she took out some snacks from her motorcycle and gave them to Xiaoye. "This is the food that Growlithe likes to eat. I'm sorry to have scared Ditto. Just consider this as my apology."

After Xiaoye took it, she smiled, and the next moment she turned back into the cold and serious policewoman, stepping on the accelerator and leaving the Pokémon Center.

----

"Cough cough!"

The orange-haired girl, whose face was covered with Miss Junsha's exhaust fumes, walked into the Pokémon Center carrying a strange object.

When he saw Xiaozhi sitting on a bench with Xiaomao in silence after putting aside their quarrel, his inner anger burst out and he shouted, "Car thief! I caught you!"

The orange-haired girl threw the unknown object to the ground, pointed at Xiaozhi and cursed, "Look at what you have done! If I hadn't told you, could you have told you that this is a bicycle? It's just a gnawed fish bone! If it were a fish, it would definitely come after you for revenge!"

"Um..." Xiao Ye walked behind the orange-haired girl, holding Ditto who had finally started eating snacks, and patted her shoulder.

"what!"

The orange-haired girl turned around suddenly, the murderous intent in her eyes was even stronger than that of the invincible Infernape in the forest, "Don't tell you that you are in cahoots with that car thief. I am the most beautiful girl in the world, Xiaoxia, it is not a problem for me to beat two people alone!"

"Their Pokémon is seriously injured and is being rescued by Miss Joy."

The anger on the face of the girl who called herself Xiaoxia disappeared instantly. She only noticed at this moment that she was looking at the gate with a glaring red light, and asked softly with a complicated expression, "Is it serious?"

"I didn't see it." Xiao Ye answered truthfully, "But judging from Miss Joy's expression, it should be quite serious."

"Is that so?" Xiaoxia's voice weakened and she didn't say anything more. She just sat quietly on the bench on the other side, staring at the closed door of the treatment room.

"Tick-tick-tick-"

The clock in the Pokémon Center ticked away, and everyone's hearts were hanging in the balance.

A long time has passed, so long that Xiaozhi and Xiaomao have already reported their safety to their families, but the treatment still shows no signs of ending.

After waiting for about another hour, the red light on the treatment room door finally turned into a gentle green.

The people outside the treatment room were cheered up and surrounded the door of the treatment room.

Miss Joy and Chandler pushed Pikachu and Spearow out together, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's all right."

"Really?" No one expected that the most excited person was Xiaoxia. She leaned on the edge of the bed and said, "It's worthy of being the Pokémon Center!"

"There are very few injured Pokémon that the doctors and nurses at the Pokémon Center can't save, right?" Miss Joy also relaxed and made a little joke.

"Yes!" Xiaozhi nodded and thanked sincerely, "Thank you very much, Miss Joy."

"All we have to do next is take Pikachu and Spearow into the ward and wait for them to recover."

Xiao Mao's attention was all on the bandaged wings of the Spearow. He wanted to reach out and touch them but didn't dare to.

Xiaoye stopped Xiaozhi's outstretched right hand and shook his head at him.

"Please don't touch them now." Miss Joy noticed their movements and reminded them, "If you move around randomly, it will easily cause the wound to become infected. You just need to accompany them quietly and let them feel that they have the support of their trainer."

"That's how it is." After being warned, Xiaozhi didn't dare to make any extra moves. He saw the charred bicycle out of the corner of his eye and said, "We'll talk about the bicycle later. Whether it's compensation or repairs, it's no problem..."

"What are you talking about?" Misty's eyes widened, and she pointed at Xiaozhi's nose and said, "It's already this time and you're still thinking about the bicycle? You, right now, go and stay with Pikachu and take good care of it!"

"Xiao Mao too." Xiao Ye pushed Xiao Mao and took his backpack in his hand. "Don't worry about dinner. I'll bring it to you now. Your most important task now is to take care of the Spearow."

Xiao Mao nodded, and just as he was about to say something, the glass above his head suddenly shattered, and two Poké Balls fell from the broken pieces.

Xiaomao and Xiaozhi moved in unison and used their bodies to block the flying broken glass, protecting the two injured Pokémon.

Xiao Mao looked up at the Pokémon that popped out of the Poké Ball and shouted, "It's Gas Bomb and Arbor Snake! Why are they here?"
