Pokémon Heart Journey

"By the way, which gym should we go to next?" After eating and drinking, Xiaozhi held his full stomach and asked everyone.

hiccup~

Yu Longyuan burped loudly, then took out an electronic map, checked it, and said, "Let's go to the Golden Gym next. It's the second largest gym in Kanto!"

"That's not all. Golden City is the largest financial and technological city in the entire Kanto region, almost as famous as Rainbow City. The headquarters of the largest giant in Kanto, the Shilluf Company, is located in Golden City," Xiao Yang also said.

"Okay, in that case, let's go to Golden City next." Xiaozhi stood up immediately, but then he began to touch his chin and said with some confusion: "By the way, Golden City, Golden Gym? Why do I feel that this place name is a bit familiar?"

"Huangjin City is a very famous city in our Kanto. It's normal for you to know this, right?" Yu Longyuan said with some doubt.

Xiaozhi shook his head gently and said, "No, I don't know the city of Golden City, but I still feel a little familiar with it, as if..."

"Have you forgotten? Miss Nancy from the Saint Annu is the gym leader of the Golden Gym," said Sundae.

After hearing what Sundae said, Xiaozhi couldn't help but tap his palms with his hands in sudden realization and said, "It seems to be true. Miss Nancy also fought against Apollo of Team Rocket at that time. Her Alakazam is really very powerful!"

"St. Annun? Team Rocket? Xiaozhi, is there something you haven't told mom?"

Just when Xiaozhi was feeling happy that he had successfully recalled the memories, he suddenly heard his mother's gentle yet slightly cold words, which made him shiver involuntarily. He turned his head with a stiff neck and found that his mother was looking at him with a smile on her face, but Xiaozhi could not sense any smile.

"Uh~ Well, that, actually, is..."

In the end, Xiaozhi confessed many things to his mother, and now he is apologizing to Hanako obediently.

Xiaozhi stood in front of Hanako with a trace of guilt on his face. He knew that he must have made his mother worry a lot during the journey. He lowered his head and said apologetically: "Mom, I'm really sorry. I always make you worry. I shouldn't have rushed to dangerous places all the time."

Hanako looked at Xiaozhi, with a trace of heartache in her eyes. She knew that Xiaozhi's journey was full of challenges and uncertainties, and she also knew that he was always moving towards the goal of becoming the best Pokémon trainer. If he didn't do this, he would not be Xiaozhi. Hanako sighed softly, then reached out and touched Xiaozhi's head warmly.

"Xiaozhi," Hanako's voice was soft and full of understanding, "I understand you, I know your love for Pokémon, and I know how important your dream is. Although your journey is full of unknowns and dangers, it is also a process of your growth."

Hanako paused and continued, "But you have to remember that safety always comes first. Mom doesn't want you to give up your dream because of my worry, but I hope that while pursuing your dream, you can pay more attention to your own safety and learn to protect yourself."

Hearing Hanako's words, Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. He said to Hanako firmly: "Don't worry, Mom. I will be more careful and stronger next time. I will never take risks easily again (after all, we have the precedent of Infernape). I will definitely become the world's number one Pokémon Master."

Hanako smiled with relief, knowing that Xiaozhi had grown up and was able to take on his own responsibilities. She gently hugged Xiaozhi and whispered, "I believe in you, Xiaozhi. No matter where you go, mom will always support you. But if anything happens in the future, you must tell me, so that mom will really feel relieved."

Xiaozhi nodded gently at Hanako.

The four people standing aside and watching this scene looked at each other and found that they all had a smile on their faces, but no one said anything.

Then, Serena was the first to break the silence and said, "That's great! I wish my mom could support me like this. I don't really like riding the armored rhino, but she always forces me to train."

"I think she's doing this for your own good. I hope you can have a decent job in the future. In fact, Serena, you haven't even found your direction yet, right?" Sundae said to Serena with a chuckle.

Serena actually understood this in her heart, but she still pouted and said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Then you should let me look for it myself first, listen to my own opinions, and then let me go for training! Riding an armored rhinoceros is prone to injury, and I'm only 12 years old this year."

Hearing them say this, Xiao Yang nodded slightly and said: "Aunt Sachi is indeed a bit hasty about this, but I think it is more because they have experienced difficult times. After all, the era when Aunt Sachi and others lived was almost when the alliance was established, and it was not yet completely stable, so she should hope that you can master the skills to make a living in advance."

"Okay, let's discuss our upcoming journey first. In addition to going to Golden City to challenge the gym, we also have to plan the places we will pass along the way. After all, we agreed before that we should combine work and rest," Yu Longyuan said to smooth things over.

.........

At this time, night falls, and the sky gradually becomes a deep blue-black, like an endless velvet curtain. Stars begin to dot the horizon, twinkling like diamonds. Although their light is weak, it firmly illuminates the night sky and guides the travelers in the dark.

In an empty battle field, two giant Pokémon were facing each other, and next to them, a purple-haired boy was staring at them.

"Duck-billed Flame Dragon uses jet fire, and the Tutai Turtle blocks it with all his strength!"

The duck-billed flame dragon, which had appeared on the field many times, raised its cannon-shaped arms high, and then hot flames erupted from them.

Opposite him stood a huge turtle Pokémon with a green shell on the outside and a tree on the shell. He stared at the flames coming towards him with a serious look, bent down as much as he could, and tried to use his shell to block the attack, but unfortunately...

"boom!!!"

"Tutai!!!"
