While Tianshui was packing up his Pokémon Book and Poké Balls, he was quickly thinking about his next plan. He knew that Xiaozhi was about to go to Viridian City, and the gym leader there was no ordinary person - that was the boss of Team Rocket, Sakaki. Thinking of this, Tianshui couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.

"Mewtwo... at this point in time, it shouldn't be born yet, right?" Tianshui muttered silently in his heart, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. As a veteran Pokémon player in his previous life, he knew the terrifying power of Mewtwo. If he could get in touch with it before everyone else, it would definitely be a great opportunity. Unfortunately, he traveled through time too hastily, and his memory seemed to have been washed away, and many details were blurred. Tianshui shook his head, threw these distracting thoughts aside, and decided to focus on the present.

"The Beedrill and Pidgeot in the Viridian Forest are our current targets." Tianshui knew this. Beedrill evolves quickly and can become a powerful weapon when combined with Mage; and although Pidgeot develops slowly, Tianshui doesn't care about the abundant resources.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky outside the house, followed by a deafening thunder. The whole room seemed to be passed through by electricity, and the three girls screamed at the same time.

"Xiaoxia, don't be nervous. Maybe it's just a lightning that struck an unlucky tree in the forest." Tianshui raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly, but in his heart he began to wonder about the cause of the lightning strike.

"If lightning strikes the forest, won't Xiaozhi be in danger?" Mito looked at Tianshui worriedly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Let me go and take a look." Tianshui stood up without hesitation. He understood that someone had to go and check the situation, and he was the most suitable person.

Tianshui picked up the umbrella, released Kagura's mind perception, and quickly locked onto Xiaozhi's position. He walked towards Xiaozhi with big strides, already having some vague guesses in his mind.

When Tianshui arrived at the scene, he saw Xiaozhi and Pikachu lying on the ground, the ground was charred, and there was an unconscious Spearow around them. The scene looked like a small doomsday. Tianshui's heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down.

"Fortunately, he's not dead." Tianshui leaned over to feel Xiaozhi's breath. After confirming that he was still breathing, he immediately took out a Senzu Bean from his arms and fed it to Xiaozhi's mouth. Pikachu also ate one. The effect of the Senzu Bean was comparable to that of a plug-in. Xiaozhi and Pikachu were instantly revived with full health.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!" As soon as Xiaozhi opened his eyes, he immediately called out to his friend anxiously.

"Pika!" Pikachu responded even faster, jumping into Ash's arms. The two hugged each other tightly, as if this charred land had become their stage.

Tianshui looked at the affection between the master and servant and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He then broke the warm atmosphere: "I say, are you two going to ignore me, a living person?"

Xiaozhi was startled by Tianshui's voice and scratched his head awkwardly: "Tianshui, when did you come?"

"If I hadn't come, you would have had to sleep in the forest tonight." Tianshui snorted, but soon smiled again, "However, it seems that your relationship with Pikachu has indeed taken a step further, congratulations."

Ash nodded gratefully, "Of course, Pikachu is my best friend, right, Pikachu?"

"Pika!" Pikachu responded excitedly, and the scene was suddenly filled with warmth.

"But I'm quite curious, how did you attract such a large group of Seraphim?" Tianshui pointed at the Seraphim on the ground and asked curiously.

Xiaozhi began to recall what happened today, from how he offended Spearow, to how he sacrificed himself to protect Pikachu, to how Pikachu was moved and struck the whole place with lightning. Tianshui listened attentively, but fragments of memories from his previous life emerged in his mind - he remembered that soon, the Phoenix King would descend from the sky, which was an extremely important opportunity.

"Ho-Oh... maybe tonight, I will have a chance to see it." Tianshui silently took out the Poké Ball and looked up at the dark night sky.

Xiaozhi followed Tianshui's gaze and looked puzzled: "Tianshui, what are you looking at? Let's go back."

"Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a surprise." Tianshui insisted, looking forward to the legendary figure.

Although Xiaozhi didn't understand, he decided to wait with Tianshui. Time passed by, and the sky became darker and darker. Tianshui's neck began to stiffen. He stretched his body, but finally put away the Poké Ball helplessly and sighed.

"Let's go, let's go back." There was a hint of regret in Tianshui's voice.

Xiaozhi nodded and excitedly followed Tianshui's footsteps. When they returned to the house, Mito and Xiaoxia immediately surrounded them, and Tianshui and Xiaozhi told them everything about the situation outside.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early. We still have to travel tomorrow." Tianshui yawned, intending to pack up the disappointment of tonight into his dream and accumulate strength for tomorrow's plans.

The next morning, Tianshui got up early, prepared the Pokémon Encyclopedia and Poké Balls, put them into two backpacks respectively, and then went to make breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, Tianshui handed the backpack to Mito and patiently taught her how to use it. Mito learned quickly and got the hang of it in a short while, and seemed eager to try it out.

"Everyone, check if you have left anything behind. I'm going to turn the house into a capsule." Tianshui reminded, then walked out of the house alone, waiting for everyone to finish packing.

When everyone came out, Tianshui put the house back into the capsule, and everyone prepared to continue their journey.

"Xiaozhi, there are two Pokémon in the Viridian Forest that I'm very interested in. You guys go first, I'll be there soon." Tianshui said. Last night's thoughts made him decide not to disturb Xiaozhi's opportunity, so he chose to separate temporarily.

"By the way, this box of universal capsules is for you, in case you get separated." Tianshui handed Xiaozhi a box of universal capsules.

Xiaozhi took the capsules and saw that Tianshui had two boxes as spare, so he accepted them with confidence.

"Then we'll see you in Tokiwa City. Tianshui, you must catch up as soon as possible!" Xiaozhi waved goodbye and embarked on a new journey.

Tianshui watched Xiaozhi go away, silently wishing him to become an excellent trainer. It was not until Xiaozhi's figure disappeared at the end of the dense forest that Tianshui retracted his gaze and turned to Mito beside him and said, "Okay, now it's our turn. Do you have a Pokémon you particularly want?"

Mito's eyes lit up and she counted them one by one on her fingers: "Jirachi, Mew, Celebi, Victini, Shaymin." When she talked about these dreamy elves, her face was filled with anticipation, as if those legendary elves would soon jump out of the bushes and throw themselves into her arms.

Tianshui's smile gradually froze, and he felt helpless. "Can you be more realistic? These elves are limited editions! If I get any of them, the alliance leaders will send me to the headquarters for 'further study'."

Mito couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Tianshui's "life is hopeless" expression. "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. Actually, I want Milotic, Gardevoir, Dragonite, and Arcanine more." She finally said her real goal with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Tianshui breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. "You really are a joker..." He shook his head and laughed, feeling lucky that he didn't really go looking for those legendary elves, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

However, Mito suddenly said seriously: "Tianshui, why don't you continue traveling with Xiaozhi?"

Tianshui was slightly startled. He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect that Mito saw through his plan. "Is it so obvious?" he asked helplessly.

Mito smiled and nodded, "Not only did I notice it, but Misty might have been mesmerized by the Universal Capsule and would have noticed it later. As for Ash... he's probably still competing with Pikachu to see who's dumber."

Tianshui smiled bitterly and shook his head, then explained: "Actually, I didn't mean to hide it on purpose, I just felt that some things were not suitable to be dragged on any longer."

Mito nodded. Although he was still a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions. "Well, you have your reasons. Let's go catch the elves now!"

Tianshui readily agreed, stood up and dusted himself off, "Let's go, it's time for us to take action."

Soon after, Tianshui encountered his first target, the unicorn beetle. Although it was just an ordinary wild Pokémon, Tianshui knew that this was a good opportunity to cultivate it from scratch.

"I want to be your trainer, come and fight my Pokémon!" Tianshui's eyes were firm, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice. He released Pikachu and ordered: "Pikachu, lightning!"

Before the unicorn beetle could react, it was hit by Pikachu's lightning and instantly lost its combat power. Tianshui threw out the Poké Ball and easily captured the unicorn beetle.

He held up the Poké Ball and proudly showed it to Mito, with an expression of "come and praise me" written all over his face. However, Mito just glanced at it, rolled his eyes, turned around and continued to observe the surroundings, obviously not interested in this "boring" capture process.

Tianshui sighed helplessly, released the unicorn worm, and fed it a magic bean to quickly restore its spirit. Then he exchanged a large number of energy cubes from the mall and fed them to the unicorn worm, as if he was feeding it candy.

Mito looked at Tianshui's operation and couldn't help but say, "It's too easy to catch Pokémon like this, isn't it? Why don't you lend me your Pikachu so I can try it too!"

Tianshui hesitated for a moment, but then thought that with Mito's strength and the Poké Balls he gave him, there was no danger at all, so he readily agreed. "Okay, you take these Senzu Beans with you. We'll meet in Viridian City at the end."

As Mito said goodbye, Tianshui watched her and Pikachu leave, laughing in his heart: "Let me show you the real fun of solo Pokémon."

He continued to walk deeper into the forest, and soon he found his second target - Bobo. However, what appeared before him was a large group of Bobo and Pidgeot.

Seeing this, the unicorn beetle was so frightened that it quickly hid in Tianshui's arms. Tianshui patted it gently and comforted it, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

In order to attract the attention of these Bobos, Tianshui came up with a "magic operation". He exchanged a slingshot from the mall, quietly aimed at a Spearow, and shot it accurately. As expected, the Spearow instantly became furious and led its friends to kill the Bobos and the Pidgeot flock.

While the two groups of birds were fighting fiercely, Tianshui calmly observed the battle and finally selected a Bobo that performed well as his target. He used illusion and the Return to Void pupil technique to easily stop the melee and calm the Bobo down.

"Bobo, come on an adventure with me." Tianshui made a sincere invitation.

Bobo did not agree immediately, but let out a crisp cry, as if testing Tianshui's strength. Tianshui smiled slightly, sent out the unicorn beetle, and gave an order: "Unicorn beetle, use silk to restrict Bobo's flying ability!"

The unicorn trembled as it followed the order, spitting out a thread that accurately wrapped around Pidgeot's wings. Amamizume was ready to prove himself worthy of being Pidgeot's trainer through this battle.
