Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"I plan to start the challenge from the Kanto region, so I plan to go to Tianshui City to transfer to the Kanto region, and then take a ship to Guren Island." Xiaozhi replied.

"I see~ You want to start the challenge from Kanto like you did before, but you have to hurry~ Xiao Mao has already obtained 2 badges, but you haven't got any badge yet." Professor Oak reminded.

"What? Professor Oak, are you saying that Xiaomao has started challenging the alliance again?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

This was something that Xiaozhi had not expected. After all, Xiaomao had given up on becoming a Pokémon trainer and wanted to become an excellent Pokémon researcher...

"That's right~ Xiao Mao is preparing to participate in this joint conference. He starts the challenge from the Kanto region just like you. In this respect, you two are really similar. But now he is ready to go to the Hoenn region to obtain the third gym badge." Professor Oak replied.

"Is that so~ Looks like I have to hurry up and head to the Kanto region to challenge the Gym Tournament." Xiaozhi said excitedly.

Xiaozhi was very excited when he thought about meeting Xiaomao at the joint conference. Xiaozhi had not felt this kind of excitement for many years. Although Xiaozhi had met many strong opponents over the years, in Xiaozhi's heart, they were far inferior to Xiaomao. Xiaomao was Xiaozhi's strongest rival, and also the one that Xiaozhi always wanted to surpass.

Ever since Xiaomao became a researcher, Xiaozhi feels that his life has lost some fun. Xiaozhi really hopes to meet Xiaomao in the joint conference this time and fight against each other again with the idea of ​​defeating each other.

"I haven't seen Xiaozhi so excited in a long time." Xiaoxia exclaimed.

"After all, Xiaomao and Xiaozhi are old rivals. Especially when we first started traveling with Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi was always chasing after Xiaomao and trying to surpass him."

"When Mao gave up on becoming a trainer, Ash didn't say it but he was sad for a long time. This time Mao is starting to challenge the league again, and Ash should be more excited than anyone else." Brock replied.

"Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, let's go to Tianshui City now." Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"No problem."*2. Seeing how excited Xiaozhi was, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia would not say anything to spoil his fun.

"By the way, Satoshi, when you go to the Kanto region, don't rush to challenge the Gym Tournament, go back home first." Professor Oak called out to Satoshi who was about to leave.

"Go home?" Xiaozhi looked at Professor Oak in confusion.

"That's right~ But I won't tell you the details, you'll understand when you get home." Professor Oak didn't intend to explain anything to Satoshi. After all, some things are better to see with one's own eyes.

"Okay, I understand." Although Xiaozhi was confused, he didn't delve into it.

After that, Xiaozhi and his group said goodbye to Professor Oak and others, and set off on their journey to Tianshui City...

After Xiaozhi and his group left, Professor Oak took Moltres's Poké Ball and prepared to return to the Oak Research Institute...

Originally, Professor Oak was going to study Moltres here, but Yanhuo generously offered to lend Moltres to Professor Oak, and said that when the research was done, he could return the Pokémon to him...

So Professor Oak left with Xiao Jian in a hurry...

........

Xiaozhi and his group, who were heading for Tianshui City, crossed the Gobi Desert and arrived at a huge forest...

"This forest is so big!" Xiaozhi exclaimed.

"Pica~"

"As long as we go through this forest, we can reach Tianshui City. Then we can take a plane to the Kanto area." Xiaogang said holding a map.

"Then let's speed up and reach Tianshui City." Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"Don't be so anxious, Xiaozhi. After all, it will take at least a day to get through this forest, so let's find a place to have lunch." Xiaogang suggested.

goooo~

As soon as Xiaogang finished speaking, Xiaozhi's stomach started to growl...

"Hehe~ I was so excited for a moment that I forgot about being hungry." Xiaozhi said while rubbing his stomach.

"Pica~"

"Xiaozhi, I know you are very excited now, but I want to tell you that you must do everything step by step. If you are too anxious, things will go wrong." Xiaogang said solemnly.

"Yeah~ I understand~ I will control my mood." Xiaogang's words were like a bucket of cold water, directly extinguishing Xiaozhi's excited heart, and at the same time making Xiaozhi sober up...

"That open space is very suitable for us to rest, and there is a water source nearby, which makes it convenient for cooking." Xiaoxia said, pointing to a place.

"This place is very nice. Let's rest here." Xiaogang was very satisfied with the open space not far away.

"Okay~" Xiaozhi nodded and had no objection.

Then Xiaozhi and his group came to the open space. As soon as Xiaogang arrived at the destination, he took out the tools from his dimensional backpack and started cooking. Xiaozhi saw this and hurried forward to help...

Xiaogang was used to this, after all, Xiaozhi had been learning cooking from Xiaogang during this period. Xiaogang was a little confused about this at first and asked Xiaozhi, and the reason Xiaozhi gave was... Xiaogang couldn't accompany him on trips forever, he had to learn some skills when he went out, otherwise he would have to go hungry or eat wild fruits to survive on future trips.

After knowing Xiaozhi's idea, Xiaogang taught Xiaozhi how to cook wholeheartedly. After Xiaogang's guidance, Xiaozhi's cooking skills improved to a great level.

When Xiaogang and Xiaozhi were busy cooking, a clear voice rang in everyone's ears: "Excuse me, whose Pokémon is this Pikachu?"

Xiaozhi and his friends looked in the direction of the voice with a little confusion... They saw a pretty girl standing not far away. She had brown hair, a fair face, and a pair of big watery eyes under her curved eyebrows.

"My name is Xiaogang. Please have lunch with me, beautiful lady." Xiaogang came to the girl at some point and held her hand and said very gentlemanly.

"My name is Hideyoshi. It's an honor to have lunch with you, but I'm not a young lady. I'm a man." Hideyoshi explained with a smile.

"Σ( ° △ °|||)︴What? Did I hear it right? You said you are a boy?" Xiaogang confirmed in disbelief.

"Well~ I am a real man." Hideyoshi explained.

"Σ(っ °Д °;)っSuch a cute little sister is actually a boy, I don't believe it... I don't believe it..." After getting Hideyoshi's affirmative answer, Xiaogang's body was instantly petrified.

"Quaa?"

The bad kid who ran out of the Poké Ball on his own looked at Brock, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, and raised his right hand covered in venom. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should give him a love poison attack...
