Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Excuse me, is this Pikachu your Pokémon?" the girl asked.

"That's right~ This is my friend. Did you heal Pikachu?" The reason why Xiaozhi asked this was because when he ran over just now, he saw the girl standing next to Pikachu and the healing medicine under her feet.

"Yeah~ I met Pikachu by chance, and when I found out it was injured, I used healing potion to heal it." The girl smiled.

"Thank you for your help~ I'm Satoshi from the Kanto region, and these two are Misty and Brock." Satoshi introduced.

"You're welcome~ My name is Le'er, I'm from the Galar region, and this is my friend Nidoran." The girl introduced herself.

"Ni~"

"Are you a trainer from the Galar region?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

"Yeah~" Lei'er nodded.

"You should be a rookie trainer who just debuted, right? Why did you travel all the way to the Johto region?" Xiaogang asked puzzledly.

"Because my dream is to become the Pokémon League champion, but my mother refused to let me embark on the journey alone. Later, a series of things happened and my mother agreed to travel alone. However, my father suggested that I start from the Quartz Conference in the Kanto region. But I got on the wrong ship before, so I came to the Johto region." Lei'er said a little embarrassedly.

There was a sudden silence in the air, and Xiaozhi and his group thought to themselves, "Is it really okay for this kid to travel alone?"

It was Xiaozhi who broke the deadlock first: "Your father is right. The Quartz Tournament is indeed suitable for new trainers to train. After all, the trainers who participate in the Quartz Tournament are all new trainers who have just debuted. They will not encounter powerful trainers and be beaten psychologically."

"If you want to go to the Kanto region, you can go to the nearby port and take a boat to Vermilion City. Although there is a gym in Vermilion City, that gym is not suitable for novice trainers. You should start with the Nibi Gym in Nibi City." Xiaogang interrupted.

"Okay, okay." Upon hearing this, Lei'er hurriedly took out her notebook and wrote it down.

"To challenge the Nibe Gym, you need two Pokémon, and the Nibe Gym Leader is good at using Rock-attribute Pokémon. You'd better capture a Water-attribute Pokémon. Don't be like some idiot who uses Flying-attribute and Electric-attribute Pokémon to challenge the Rock Gym." Xiaoxia said with a smile.

“(/“≡ _ ≡)=” Xiaozhi’s face turned black when he heard that.

"A water-attribute Pokémon? Then I have to catch one first. I only have a Nidoran and a Gengar that Pikachu helped capture." Lei'er said.

"Pikachu helped capture Gengar?" Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi looked at Pikachu in confusion.

"Pika~" Pikachu nodded.

After getting the confirmation, Xiaozhi looked up and said to Lei'er solemnly: "Although I don't know how strong the Gengar you captured is, but Gengar is definitely not something a trainer like you who just debuted can drive, so before you get Gengar's approval, don't use Gengar at will."

"Do I need to get approval from a captured Pokémon if I want to control it?" Lei'er seemed to understand.

"Of course not~ Ordinary Pokémon don't need it, but powerful Pokémon will not recognize a trainer who is too weak, and will not obey his orders. They may even defect."

"You and Gengar fit the situation I mentioned. What's more, you captured Gengar with the help of Pikachu, not by your own strength. It will not obey your command." Xiaozhi said earnestly.

"Oh~ I understand. How should this situation be solved?" Lei'er asked.

"There are two solutions. Option one: improve your own strength as soon as possible so that Gengar can get your recognition. Option two: use love to influence it." Xiaozhi replied.

"Improve your own strength and influence the other person with love... I understand." Lei'er nodded heavily, and then said with some admiration: "Xiaozhi, you are amazing~ You know everything."

"The reason why Xiaozhi knows it so clearly is because Xiaozhi's previous Charizard didn't listen to his commands. The plans he told you were all put into practice through his own personal experience." Xiaoxia said.

"I didn't expect that Xiaozhi had an experience of not being recognized by Pokémon before!" Lei'er said in surprise.

"Haha~ After all, I was also a novice trainer. Back then, I couldn't even memorize the Pokémon attribute restraint table." Xiaozhi laughed.

"In that case, can I become a trainer as powerful as you in the future?" Lei'er asked excitedly.

"Of course you can. As long as you have the determination to become stronger, you will become a powerful trainer sooner or later." Xiaozhi encouraged.

"By the way, Xiaozhi, are you also going to participate in the Pokémon League Conference?" Leier asked.

"Well~ I'm now traveling with the goal of attending the joint conference." Xiaozhi replied.

"Joint Conference!! I didn't expect that you, Xiaozhi, actually participated in the Joint Conference. In that case, you must be very strong." Lei'er showed an admiring look.

Although Lei'er is a rookie trainer, she has heard of the reputation of the Joint Conference, and the trainers who can participate in the Joint Conference are the elite among the elites.

"It's okay~" Xiaozhi smiled awkwardly.

"Xiaozhi, can I travel with you?" Lei'er suddenly said.

"Travel with me?" Xiaozhi asked doubtfully.

"Yeah~ After all, I can definitely learn a lot from following a powerful trainer like you." Lei'er said seriously.

"I welcome you to join us, but what about your league competition? After all, we only stay in each region for a period of time." Xiaozhi asked.

"We'll talk about the Alliance later. The Alliance won't run away anyway. I'll challenge it when I become strong enough." Lei'er said with a smile.

"Since you have thought about it, you are welcome to join." Xiaozhi stretched out his right hand and said with a smile.

"Please give me your guidance in the future!" Lei'er held Xiaozhi's right hand and said with a smile.

"By the way, your Pikachu seemed unable to use electric-attribute moves before. Do you want to go to the Pokémon Center to check it out?" Lei'er suddenly said.

"Unable to use electric-attribute moves? That's probably because the electricity in his body was sucked away by Team Rocket's machine." Xiaozhi guessed.

"What is that, Team Rocket?" Lei'er asked curiously.

"Team Rocket is an evil organization that specializes in stealing other people's Pokémon. Pikachu and I were separated because of them." Xiaozhi explained.

"An evil organization that specializes in stealing other people's Pokémon?" Lei'er murmured.

"It's getting late now. We have to hurry to the nearby Pokémon Center, otherwise we'll have to camp in the wild." Xiaoxia reminded.

"That's true. The nearest Pokémon Center is about 300 meters away. If we hurry, we might be able to get there before dark." Xiaogang said.

"Then let's hurry to the Pokémon Center." After Xiaozhi took back the Toucan in the air, he ran towards the Pokémon Center.

Xiaogang, Xiaoxia and Lei'er, who had just joined the team, followed closely behind.
