Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"The list of the top four players has just been announced. The semi-finals and finals will finally be held tomorrow."

“Who will get the Spirit of Appeasement and the qualification to challenge? It’s really exciting.” Yuan Kun said excitedly.

It will soon be his turn to show off his skills. Ever since he was promoted to mayor, he hasn't experienced a Pokémon battle for a long time. Now that he has finally caught a chance, he will definitely have a great fight.

"The combination of Xiaozhi and Li Luo is definitely the most disharmonious group in this competition. They basically fight on their own." Le Ping said, pushing the frame of his glasses.

"Rather than saying that they are fighting on their own, it's better to say that Xiaozhi is the one turning the tide, and Li Luo is just a slacker." Naoxiang complained.

"If we encounter the combination of Satoshi and Luo Lee, as long as we can find a way to eliminate Satoshi's Pokémon, we'll be halfway to success. As for Luo Lee's Pokémon, there's nothing to be afraid of." Misty interrupted.

"It is quite difficult to defeat Ash's Pokémon in the shortest time. Instead of leaving Li Luo's Pokémon to harass him, it is better to defeat it as soon as possible. Then we can work together to attack Ash's Pokémon." Xiaogang interrupted.

"That's true." Le Ping thought about it, Xiaozhi's Pokémon was indeed powerful, and it was not easy to defeat the opponent in a very short time. As for Li Luo's Pokémon, he could deal with it in minutes.

"Turbot uses Flame Jet!"

"Gem Starfish uses High Speed ​​Spin!"

"Slow down~" Fire Chicken aimed at the Sea Stone Star and sprayed out a blazing column of fire.

"Cha!" The Gem Starfish quickly spun its body, deflecting the oncoming jet of flames, and then knocked the Fire Chicken behind it away.

"Slow down~" The Fire Chicken stood up from the ground tremblingly.

"That's enough!" Xiaogang stepped forward to stop the Fire Chicken who was about to continue fighting.

"Turtle Chickadee, you did a great job. You are really strong." Xiaozhi came to Tortle Chickadee and touched its head with his hand to encourage it.

"Pica~Pica~"

"Slow down?" Torchic originally thought that he would be scolded by Satoshi for losing the battle, but he didn't expect that Satoshi didn't scold him. Instead, he encouraged him.

"Fire Chicken, it's amazing that you can achieve this despite your unfavorable attributes." Xiao Gang encouraged.

"That's right~ Your jet of flames is very powerful. If you continue to fight, my Gem Starfish might lose the game." Xiaoxia interrupted. Although most of the flames were deflected by Gem Starfish, they still caused damage to Gem Starfish.

"Cha~"

“Wow~??o·(? ??????????? )?o·?” Huo Zhiji felt the care and encouragement from everyone, and at the same time thought of what he and Li Luo had experienced in the past two years, and he couldn't help crying.

During those two years, Charmeleon has been living in dire straits. Even if it defeats its opponent with an attribute disadvantage, it will not get Li Luo's recognition, which will only make it continue to fight against powerful Pokémon.

"Just cry if you want to. I know you've been holding it in for a long time." Xiaozhi said as he touched Chickadee's head.

“??o·(? ??????????? )?o·??????????????o·(? ??????????? )?o·?” Fire Chicken cried even more sadly after hearing that.

"Just be patient, Fire Chicken. When you are with Li Luo, you have to hold back even if you want to cry. Otherwise, it will only lead to more brutal training." Xiao Gang sighed.

"Actually, I think Li Luo is not a qualified trainer at all, or he is not worthy of being a trainer at all. I guess he has never regarded Pokémon as partners or family members, but only as tools to become stronger." Xiaoxia interrupted.

"What happened to Chickadee in the past is over. From now on, you will live a new life. It doesn't matter even if you don't want to train or fight in the future. I will arrange a place for you to retire and let you live happily." Xiaozhi said seriously.

Xiaozhi has always respected the choices of Pokémon. No matter what path Chinchilla chooses, he will respect its choice.

"Slow down~" The Fire Chicken thought seriously for a moment, and then said that it didn't want to fight anymore.

Since traveling with Li Luo, it has been either fighting or training every day. The fighting day after day, year after year has made it exhausted. If it has a choice, it really doesn't want to fight.

Although this decision will disappoint Xiaozhi, he really doesn't want to continue fighting. He just wants to find a place to have a good rest.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will send you to Professor Oak's laboratory, where you will never be exposed to fighting and training. You will live happily and make many friends there." Xiaozhi touched Chickadee's head with his hand.

"Slow down~ Slow down~" Tortoiseshell showed a look of surprise when he heard that. He didn't expect that Xiaozhi really respected his choice, which made his tense heart relax a little.

Then Xiaozhi brought Chinchilla back to the Pokémon Center and went to the public telephone room to call Professor Oak.

"Xiaozhi, why are you calling me so late? Is there something urgent?" Professor Oak asked puzzledly after answering the phone.

"Here's what happened..." Satoshi told Professor Oak about Chickadee's situation.

"So that's how it is~ I understand. I will prepare a comfortable place for Chickadee." Professor Oak replied.

"I've already made arrangements for Chickadee. You can go to Professor Oak's laboratory and have a rest now." Xiaozhi took out the Poké Ball and prepared to put Chickadee into it.

"Slow down~ Slow down~" Tortoiseshell avoided the recycling light, and then seemed to be telling something to Satoshi.

"You mean you want to accompany me to the doubles tournament before going to Professor Oak's laboratory?" Xiaozhi confirmed. With the power of the Light Stone, Xiaozhi could of course understand what Chickadee said.

"Slow down~" Torchon nodded quickly when he heard that. He wanted to do one last thing for Xiaozhi before he retired.

Xiaozhi did not reply, but looked at Chickadee. After seeing its determined eyes, he said, "I understand. You will play in tomorrow's game. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, as long as you are safe."

"Slow down~" After hearing that, Chickadee wanted to win the championship for Satoshi even more. This could be considered a little compensation to the other party.

Then Xiaozhi said to Professor Oak: "Professor Oak, wait until the game is over tomorrow, and I will send the Fire Chickadee to you."

"No problem~ Then you should go to bed early. At the same time, I wish you good luck in winning the doubles championship." Dr. Oak hung up the phone after saying that.

Xiaozhi took Pikachu and Chickadee to the dormitory. Since Chickadee had given up fighting, Xiaozhi had no plan to let it continue practicing.
