Pokémon: New Ash, Starting from Hoenn

"The weather has been bad recently~ It's either cloudy or rainy!" Xiaozhi, who was on his way to the Pokémon school, looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

The sky was gloomy and overcast, as if a heavy rain would fall at any time.

"Pika!" Pikachu and the others also nodded.

Not far behind them, Vulpix and Rock Dog were following breathlessly. Since Vulpix has already started training, Xiaozhi specially put on a compulsory exerciser for it, but it was only the minimum power. Despite this, Vulpix still seemed a little tired and tried hard to keep up with the team.

"Meow... Meow!!" At this moment, Litten suddenly jumped out of the bushes next to it. It bit Xiaozhi's trouser leg and tried hard to pull Xiaozhi away.

Xiaozhi was surprised. He looked down at Litten and found that its eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

"Litten?!" Xiaozhi looked at Litten so anxiously, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He remembered the incident with the long-haired dog, and his heart sank, "Did the long-haired dog get into trouble?"

"Come back, Rock Dog, Vulpix!" Xiaozhi quickly took Rock Dog and Vulpix back into the Poké Ball.

At this moment, Hoopa used this short gap to open the halo, and the connected side seemed to be under a bridge. In front of him, the long-haired dog collapsed on the ground in a gloomy state, with a very painful expression.

Litten didn't care about being surprised at this time. It anxiously stepped over the halo, constantly rubbing against the long-haired dog's body, meowing anxiously, as if calling the long-haired dog not to leave.

Xiaozhi hurried forward to check on the long-haired dog, but found that even with the power of Changpan, he couldn't stop the long-haired dog's vitality from fading quickly.

"Let's go to the Pokémon Center!" Xiaozhi made a quick decision.

Although the long-haired dog still looked strong at this moment, in fact, its body had long been covered by shaggy hair, and it was already skinny inside. That's why its vitality is fading so quickly.

Now, the power of Evergreen has lost its effect. Perhaps, going to the Pokémon Center and injecting some nutrients into the long-haired dog can help it recover some spirits, at least to say a final farewell to Litten.

Meloetta used her superpowers to carefully lift the long-haired dog, and then took it through the halo of Hoopa leading to the Pokémon Center. Litten saw this scene and immediately followed anxiously.

Just after Xiaozhi and the others all crossed the halo, a dead leaf fell from the dead tree with almost no leaves by the bridge.

Entering the Pokémon Center, Litten lay outside the window of the operating room, constantly trying to scratch the window with its claws. When the door opened, Litten could no longer suppress his impulse and rushed in quickly.

At this moment, the limbs of the long-haired dog were receiving infusions, all of which were injected with nutrients. Although the condition of the long-haired dog was temporarily under control, it actually couldn't hold on for too long. Life and death cycle, this is the norm of the world, even Hoopa and Machado, two ghost gods, cannot change it.

At night, when Xiaozhi contacted Dr. Kukui to ask him to substitute for the class and told Latias that he couldn't go home due to the situation here, they quietly left the Pokémon Center.

"Are you going back?"

——————————

"Meow~"

"Woof!"

When Xiaozhi returned to the bridge again, Litten and Shaggy were there as he expected. They were practicing their special moves attentively, and Xiaozhi recognized them at a glance as Flame Fang.

Although Shaggy was old, it was very skilled in controlling fire energy. When it showed Litten, the amazing heat wave even amazed Xiaozhi.

Litten chose a coconut as the object of the fight. This cute little cat always pounced on it with energy, but it was always hit by the hard coconut shell and trembled from the two tiger teeth to the tip of the tail, looking at Shaggy pitifully.

"Woof!" The long-haired dog shook his head helplessly. Although he was weak, he was ready to demonstrate again.

"Take a rest first!" Xiaozhi gently pressed the long-haired dog to stop it from getting up, "I will take over the rest of the practice guidance. It's decided to be you, Flame Lion!"

"Roar!!" A deafening roar sounded, and a majestic Flame Lion jumped up from the halo of Hoopa.

As Xiaozhi's fire Pokémon, Flame Lion showed unparalleled power and majesty. Every move of it is full of the spirit of the king, which is very attractive to Litten, because its final evolution form is a majestic tiger!

After Litten got the approval of the long-haired dog,He excitedly followed the Flame Lion and continued to practice various skills.

The long-haired dog looked at Litten who was fighting fiercely with Coconut with great joy, and his eyes revealed deep love.

"Aren't you going to tell it?" Xiaozhi sat down next to the long-haired dog quietly and asked softly.

"Woof!" The long-haired dog turned around and looked at Xiaozhi.

From the eyes of the long-haired dog, Xiaozhi understood its intention and sighed: "I understand, I will take good care of it in the future!"

Late at night, after a whole day of hard training, the exhausted Litten leaned on the long-haired dog and fell asleep.

The long-haired dog quietly stood up and left the bridge hole where they lived with difficulty.

"Are you leaving? It will be very sad if it can't see you for the last time!" Xiaozhi took Pikachu out.

"Woof~" The long-haired dog called softly, with a tone full of relief. It has lived for a long time, experienced countless storms, and has long been indifferent to life and death.

However, in this world, the only thing it can't let go of is Litten. Now, with Xiaozhi, a human, it believes that he can take good care of Litten, so the last trace of worry can be put down.

"Got it! Have a good journey!" Xiaozhi nodded gently, and he respected the decision of the long-haired dog.

As soon as the voice fell, a golden halo suddenly appeared in front of the long-haired dog, and it was the ultimate spirit world breath that floated out of it, which made the surrounding air become heavy.

"Hehehe, it's this long-haired dog! Since I know you, I will take good care of it!" The current agent of the spirit world, the flash gray Gengar, stepped out, "Let's go, go to the world you should go to!"

The long-haired dog suppressed the surprise in his heart, nodded gently, and then followed Gengar to the spirit world. As their figures gradually disappeared in the golden halo, the distance between the long-haired dog and Xiaozhi became farther and farther.

From now on, the long-haired dog will leave this world, and the Litten will be separated from the Yin and Yang. Xiaozhi stood there silently, watching them leave, his heart full of emotion and helplessness.

Xiaozhi looked at the still sleeping Litten and sighed helplessly, hoping that it could accept it as soon as possible! Then Xiaozhi took Pikachu and the others away. After all, it was better to let Litten be alone.

Litten had a very strange dream. Everything in the dream was white and nothing could be seen. It was like an endless cloud and fog, covering the whole world. It ran and explored in this white fog, but could not find the exit.

Then, it saw the long-haired dog, but the long-haired dog seemed to be like a cloud in the sky, floating farther and farther, until it could no longer be seen. Instead, there was another vague figure...

"Meow!" The suddenly awakened Litten jumped up from the sofa, but was surprised to find that the long-haired dog was gone!

It eagerly looked around, meowing constantly, as if calling the long-haired dog's name, but there was no response.

At the same time, the leaves on the dead tree fluttered down, drifting along the river to the distance, and the heart of the fire-spotted cat sank with it.

The fire-spotted cat walked into the forest alone, walked into the abandoned hut where it once lived, walked past Grandma Moyani's fruit stall, and walked to many places, but in the end it still found nothing.

The fire-spotted cat walked back to the residence under the bridge with heavy steps, full of expectations, hoping to see the familiar figure of the long-haired dog again. However, when it pounced on the corner where it had spent time with the long-haired dog, it only caught a ball of dust blown by the wind.

With a click, the old wooden sofa leg could not bear the pressure of time and broke. This place that had given the fire-spotted cat and the long-haired dog a touch of warmth on countless nights has now completed its mission.

The heavy rain poured down from the sky like a waterfall, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the body of the fire-spotted cat mercilessly. Every drop was like a heavy hammer hitting its heart, making it feel extremely painful and desperate.

At this moment, the fire-spotted cat felt that the raindrops on its body suddenly disappeared. It raised its head in confusion and found that Xiaozhi was squatting beside it, holding up a black umbrella.

"Meow!!" The fire-spotted cat threw itself into Xiaozhi's arms desperately, making a sad cry, as if begging Xiaozhi to help it find the long-haired dog.

"Sorry, I can't do it." Xiaozhi gently put down the fire-spotted cat, slowly stood up, and stared at a dead tree not far away. There was only one leaf left on the tree, swaying alone in the wind.

"It's gone."

As soon as the voice fell, the last leaf on the dead tree slowly fell because it could not withstand the invasion of rain. It seemed to be gently blown by the wind, circling in the air, and finally fell onAt the feet of the fire cat. The leaf has turned yellow and the edges are curled, but you can still see its former greenness and vitality.

The fire cat stretched out its front paws and tried to grab the leaf. However, its paws only touched the leaf lightly, and then fell down weakly.

At this moment, the leaf was blown by the wind and floated up again. It brushed the cheek of the fire cat, with the coolness of raindrops, which made the fire cat shudder. But it did not stop, but continued to float forward, as if it had no attachment to this world.

The fire cat wanted to reach out and grab it, but found that it could not reach it. It stretched its body hard and even jumped up to try to grab the leaf, but it was useless. The leaf was getting farther and farther away from it, and gradually disappeared in the rain.

The fire cat stared blankly at the direction where the leaf left, and his heart was full of loss and loneliness. It thought of the long-haired dog, the companion who had accompanied it for countless times. Now, the long-haired dog has left it, and this leaf, like the long-haired dog, has left it forever.

"Meow~~~~"

The shrill voice spread far and wide in the rain, as if it was the pain and despair deep in the heart of the fire-spotted cat.

——————————

"The rain has stopped!" Xiaozhi said, looking at the sky. The heavy rain lasted for a long time, but Xiaozhi never left. He stayed under the bridge with the fire-spotted cat.

The sun came down again, bringing warmth.

The fire-spotted cat stared at the sky quietly, and suddenly, it saw a familiar figure appearing in the clouds-the long-haired dog. The long-haired dog smiled, as if conveying the last instructions to the fire-spotted cat. The fire-spotted cat silently watched this figure until it disappeared.

After a while, the long-lost smile finally appeared on the face of the fire-spotted cat. Its eyes became bright, full of vitality and energy.

"Come with me, fire-spotted cat." Xiaozhi said to the fire-spotted cat gently and stretched out his hand. However, Litten did not respond directly, but fired a spark at Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi smiled and nodded, understanding Litten's meaning. "Want to fight me to conquer?"

Then, he threw the Poké Ball without hesitation and shouted, "It's decided to be you, Rocky!"

Rocky jumped out of the Poké Ball, ready to fight. And Litten was not to be outdone, posing an attacking posture.

"Go, use Rockfall!"

Rocky's tail threw a large number of rubble of different sizes, which rained down on Litten. But Litten was very agile, and it dodged left and right flexibly, easily avoiding these attacks. Then, it quickly released Flame Fangs at Rocky.

However, at this moment, a rock wall suddenly rose around Rocky, forming a solid barrier that completely blocked Litten's Flame Fangs. This sudden change caught Litten off guard.

Under Xiaozhi's command, Rockdog leaped out of the rock wall and rushed towards Litten like an arrow. At the same time, it threw out rocks again, which hit Litten with great force and knocked it out.

The winner is decided!

Xiaozhi smiled and walked to Litten with a Poké Ball in his hand, "It's time to set off, Litten!"

"Meow~" Hearing Xiaozhi's words, Litten looked up and looked at Xiaozhi. A smile also appeared on its face, as if it understood Xiaozhi's meaning and was ready to welcome a new journey.

Then, Litten stretched out its little cat paw and gently grabbed the Poké Ball.
