Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Come out, Water Leap Fish~" Xiaozhi then released the Water Leap Fish.

"Water~"

"Shuiyueyu, please give me your guidance in the future~" Xiaozhi stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Water~" Water Leap Fish stretched out its little hand and held Xiaozhi's hand, and then the two smiled at each other...

"But then again...we can't continue traveling in this kind of weather!" Xiaozhi sighed as he looked at the storm outside.

"Pica~"

It was clearly 8 o'clock in the morning, but the sky outside was as dark as night...

"Forget it. I'll study the Pokémon training plan before the rain stops." Xiaozhi sat cross-legged on the ground helplessly, thinking about future training plans.

..........

The backyard of Dr. Oki's research institute...

"The pterosaurs revived from fossils are completely different from the pterosaurs revived from fossils by extracting genes from mysterious amber."

"If I had a fossil pterosaur that survived from ancient times to study, it might help me gain a better understanding of fossil Pokémon." Professor Oak muttered as he held two forms.

"Grandpa, have you been doing well recently?" A familiar voice sounded in Dr. Oak's ears.

Professor Oak turned around with a little confusion and looked in the direction of the voice...only to see two familiar figures not far away.

"Qingluo, Nanami, you are finally back. Where have you been all these years? It's like you disappeared from the face of the earth." Professor Oak said excitedly.

"It's a long story... I also want to contact you, Grandpa, but for some reason we can't contact the outside world. For the same reason, we can't leave that area." Qinglu said helplessly.

"What exactly did you encounter?" Dr. Oak asked curiously.

"Let me explain. This is what happened." Nanami interrupted.

"The struggle between light and darkness, the black fog that can make Pokémon go berserk, and a catastrophe will come three years later..."

"You have experienced a lot over the years. If you hadn't been protecting this world, it would have been destroyed long ago." It took Professor Oak a long time to digest the news that Nanami brought.

"After all, we live in this world. We can't let Dark Arceus destroy this world at will, right? We can only do our best to maintain the peace of this world." Qinglu sighed.

"So what are you planning to do this time?" asked Dr. Oak.

"Although Arceus is going to look for the Lightbringer, we can't put all our hopes on others."

"So this time we are going to persuade the eight regional alliances to jointly launch a joint tournament to recruit powerful trainers."

"After all, most of the trainers who have reached the King and Champion levels in the eight regions announced so far have been recruited by Red."

"So this time we plan to hold a joint conference to find strong trainers and recruit them into the World Defense Force." Green explained.

"I was wondering why the retired superstars and champions disappeared without a trace over the years. It turns out that you guys have recruited them." Dr. Oak suddenly realized.

Professor Oak changed the subject: "Protecting the world is everyone's responsibility, and I, an old man, also want to do my part to protect the world."

"And I can contact those old guys who live in seclusion in the mountains. At the same time, I can also use my appeal to call on those powerful trainers."

"Besides, we old guys who stay in the research institute are also quite capable."

"Grandpa, thank you for your help~" Qinglu said with a smile.

"I'm glad my old bones can help." Dr. Oak said with a smile.

"By the way, has Grandpa Xiaomao become a famous trainer now?" Nanami asked.

"Xiao Mao has now given up on becoming a trainer." Professor Oak replied.

"Huh? When he was little, didn't Xiaomao always shout to Xiaozhi next door that he wanted to become a Pokémon master?"

"Why did you give up on becoming a trainer after just a few years?" Qinglu asked curiously.

"Xiao Mao felt that he didn't know enough about Pokémon, so he gave up his dream of becoming a Pokémon master."

"Now he wants to become an excellent researcher. And he is working hard in this direction." Dr. Oak explained.

"So that's how it is~ I thought Xiaomao gave up on becoming a trainer because he failed in the battle with his rival Xiaozhi." Green said casually.

"Brother, sister?"

As soon as Qinglu finished speaking, a surprised voice sounded in everyone's ears...

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the voice...only to see Xiao Mao not far away looking at Qinglu and Nanami with an expression of disbelief.

"Hey~ Isn't this Xiaomao? Long time no see." Qinglu said with a smile.

"Where have you been all these years? You just disappeared for no reason." Xiao Mao lost his usual calmness and asked with tears in his eyes.

After all, his older brother and sister had disappeared inexplicably for several years, and no one saw them alive or dead. Xiao Mao once suspected that his brother and sister had died in an accident.

"Don't cry~ We have encountered some troubles and are trapped in a new area that has never been discovered by anyone. Moreover, the area is covered by fog and we cannot use electronic products so we cannot contact you." Qinglu smiled awkwardly.

"Trapped in a new area that has never been discovered by anyone?" Xiao Mao asked, wiping away his tears.

"That's right~ There are not only Pokémon that have not been discovered yet, but also new forms of Pokémon that have been discovered." Green replied.

"Where is that area? I suddenly want to travel to a new area." Xiao Mao was very interested in the unknown area his brother mentioned.

"This is not important. What's important is that I have a favor to ask of you." Qinglu said seriously.

"Brother, just tell me what you have to say. I will do my best to help you." Xiao Mao answered seriously.

"I hope you can challenge the gyms in the eight regions to participate in the joint conference." Qinglu said.

"Joint Conference?" Xiao Mao asked puzzledly.

"That's right~ The Joint Conference is a joint conference launched by the eight major regions. It is also a particularly important one."

Qinglu then told Xiaomao the reasons for her disappearance over the years and the origin of the joint conference.

"I didn't expect that you brothers were not missing, but were secretly protecting the world." Xiao Mao exclaimed.

"But don't worry~ I will attend the joint conference and will win." Xiao Mao said solemnly.
