It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 325: Chaomeng and the client’s clues, the investigation officially begins!

Author: It’s a fox, not a cat

In the underground laboratory of Miare Gym, several people from Hoshino came here. They had told Citron about Pikachu's mobile phone, and the other party promised that as long as it didn't explode, they would be able to unlock the code.

Fortunately, it didn't take much time. He was carrying a backpack called "Citron Engine" that he made by himself, and after a few casual operations, he successfully decoded the password of his mobile phone.

"It's done. Fortunately, it didn't modify the mobile phone I made. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for me. The power of the micro bomb set inside is equivalent to the big explosion of a naughty mine bomb. It can blast it.

Blow up the entire research institute! The thought of it is really... very cool!"

"..."

Hearing this, the few people watching the excitement in the back subconsciously moved away. It's okay if you want a big explosion, but don't splash blood on me.

"Ahem..."

Citron coughed twice and lowered his voice again. Even his tone of voice was much softer. He handed the phone back to Hoshino, then looked at Pikachu at the other person's feet and said: "Although I don't know what happened to you, if you need help

You can come to me at any time and my inventions can be put to use!"

"Oh, no problem!"

With that said, Pikachu used its tail as a spring to jump up, took his cell phone away from Hoshino, and put it into his pocket. He planned to go back and look at it again.

Hoshino didn't pay attention, but thanked Citron and asked: "So what is it you want to ask me for? An investigation commission?"

"No, I want... Well, can I study the iron baggage?"

"Um?"

"As an inventor, I actually encounter bottlenecks in the research process from time to time. I often worry that it takes several months to make any progress, because what I want to do is to create science that can create the future!"

To put it simply, as one of the few genius inventors in the world, Citron already felt that he was about to touch the end of science.

Sometimes he even gets a little obsessed and wants to find the illusory theology. But after seeing the iron baggage today, he feels that the road to science has not been cut off yet, and the end is still far away, so he wants to see what he can do from the iron baggage.

Nothing can be learned.

"this……"

Hoshino scratched his hair. This kind of thing may resonate more with Team Galaxy. People can even catch up with theology with science. However, these things made by those people are definitely not open to others to use. Maybe the technology has been given to them now.

Destroyed...

But since the other party wanted to try to learn, he looked at the iron burden and asked directly: "Want to try? Go and bring out an apprentice?"

"Didi——"

Iron Baggage nodded. Although it didn't know how it was born, and even searched for the meaning of its existence, it would still be very happy if it could help people in this regard.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you for a while, and come over in the evening to take it back."

"no problem!"

"..."

Seeing that her elder brother was already squatting on the ground asking for advice from Tie Baobao, Yulijia thought for a moment and still didn't tell her about Millerton. She couldn't let her elder brother see such a handsome motorcycle...

After leaving the iron bag here temporarily, several people left the gym. It was lunch time at this moment. Lillie took the initiative to treat everyone to the restaurant above the Prism Tower, and planned to discuss about the multi-purpose bag at Miare Station.

About Lymea.

While waiting for the meal, Hoshino did some research about the other party, while Lillie discussed with Yurika and Magiel, basically greeting the trainer who abandoned the Pokémon.

"..."

Hoshino covered the ears of the sleeping cat. He only felt that it was noisy and did not want to participate in the girls' chat topics. Then he actually found some things about Dolemia on the Internet, but the actual meaningful content was not

Not much.

Roughly speaking, Dolemia had been staying there 10 years ago, but she didn't stay there all day long like what was said online.

Instead, at 5:30 pm every day, he would go to the kennel built by kind people near the station to wait there. He usually left around 9 pm and relied on the kind people to feed him.

As for the trainer who abandoned Dolymia, there are many opinions on the Internet, but there is not a single positive review, and the identity information cannot be confirmed.

"It's really hard to find what happened 10 years ago. The only way is probably to ask Dolymia directly. What should it know?"

Hoshino murmured softly, while Pikachu, who was lying on his shoulder and peeking at the phone screen with a magnifying glass, shook his head and said: "No matter how stupid a Pokémon is, it is impossible to wait for someone for so long."

"Maybe it really does happen... It may not necessarily be that the trainer abandoned it intentionally, but it could also be due to some other reasons. If a Pokémon can wait like this, it means that it trusts its trainer very much."

"As you just said, maybe it is really stupid and has been deceived by sweet words... But it has been ten years and the fact that it can continue to wait shows that it really believes that its trainer will come back to pick it up, so I

I don’t think it’s intentional abandonment!”

When he heard this before, Hoshino was really angry, but now he calmed down and thought about it, he has a say in this kind of thing. Is it stupid that Zoroark can wait for him for more than a hundred years?

Maybe it was really stupid, waiting so many years for that half year of getting along... But for Zoroark, that half year was undoubtedly the time for Zoroark to get over the pain as a child and live a better life after his mother passed away.

The happiest time.

"..."

Zoroark was standing behind Hoshino at this time. The illusion could prevent him from being noticed by anyone. After hearing what the other party said, he also fell into deep thought for a short time.

However, Hoshino's words were also heard by the other three. The angry Yurika subconsciously wanted to refute, but Lillie quickly waved her hand to dissuade her, and then she seemed to understand something...

After lunch, everyone took the subway directly to the vicinity of Miare Station. Although it was not yet 5:30, Dorimia lived nearby, so it was easy to find her.

"Dog, I brought you food."

Yulijia took the food packed from the restaurant and came to a small, old wooden house not far away. The wooden house was exactly the size of a doghouse. Although it was old, there were many signs of repairs on it, and it was quite clean and protected from the wind.

Sheltering from the rain is no problem.

Seeing this scene, Hoshino asked curiously: "Are there often people here who know how to cultivate?"

"Well, she seems to be a girl from the university campus of our school. I have seen her several times, but she ignored us at all."

"I see……"

Hoshino was thoughtful, Yurika did not talk to him anymore, but looked into the cabin and continued to shout: "Dog, come out to eat~"

"..."

"Dog?"

When they didn't hear a response, a few people squatted down and took a look inside, only to see a Dolymia with dull hair, lying dying inside, as if she was already very old and her time was running out.

"This is... when I came over yesterday and saw it standing at the station, it was still fine, right?"

Yurika looked very worried and was about to go in and take Doremia out to the Pokémon Center, but Hoshino reached out to stop her.

"What are you doing! I want to save it!"

"It's almost dying..."

Pikachu shook his head. As they were both Pokémon, he could naturally tell the other person's physical condition. Not only was he too old, but he also had some problems accumulated over time due to being inactive here for a long time. The biggest problem may be his mental state.

.

Lillie and Magiel both saw Dolemia's problem and could only shake their heads and sigh. Even if they took the other person to the Pokémon Center at this time, it would probably run out. It might be true that it could survive until now.

It's all about persistence.

"..."

Yulijia held the packing bag in her hand and had accepted the reality, but she tried not to cry.

Looking at Dolymiya's current appearance, Hoshino shook his head and said softly: "Don't disturb it now. Let's wait and see again at 5:30. Maybe it will come out on its own initiative..."

"Can it still move?"

"Maybe..."

The sisters continued to stay where they were, but went to the resting area in front of the nearest coffee shop, intending to observe there for a while.

Zoroark stared at Dolymia with a calm expression for a while, and then left as well...

There are still more than three hours until 5:30 in the afternoon, but this time is still worth waiting. However, two hours have passed, and there is no movement at the cabin, not even a person passing by.

Lillie looked a little sad. Although it was not that she had never seen Pokémon die. It was common to see dead Pokémon in the wild in the Xicui area, but she really didn't want to suffer this kind of slowly waiting for death.

See.

"Didn't you say that there are always kind people taking care of you? Why does this happen again?"

"But if you think about it, after all these years, those who watched the excitement have already left, and those who are trying to catch the traffic don't want to spend this energy. Unless Dolymia really dies, maybe they will come here to dip their blood in the steamed buns."

Hoshino has a clearer view. It is estimated that apart from people like Yurika who just know it, only some old people near the station can help, but not everyone has that much time and energy.

"..."

Lillie was silent for a while, having already understood, but at this moment, she saw a girl in the distance, suddenly walking towards the cabin, and seemed to be checking Dolymia's situation, full of worry and helplessness.

Seeing this, Yulijia reminded: "That's the senior sister, the one who helps repair the house. She often comes here to take care of her."

"Yeah……"

Hoshino looked at the other party silently, then stood up and said, "Let me go over and ask. She has been taking care of her for so long, so she should know the situation better than us."

"It's useless, she won't pay attention to you..."

Yurika waved her hand, but Hoshino still insisted on going over, followed closely by Lillie, and the two of them came behind the girl together.

After walking in, I discovered that the other party was also feeding Dolemia food, but again, he wasn't eating at all. The dog no longer had the energy to eat.

Lillie looked away and couldn't bear to look down. Hoshino looked calm and said, "Can I interrupt you a little?"

"Um?"

Hearing the voice, the girl turned around cautiously, looked at the other person who seemed to be a familiar face she had seen on TV, and asked: "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just often see you coming here to take care of this Dorimia, so I'm curious and want to ask something about it..."

Before Hoshino finished speaking, the girl became more vigilant. After leaving a sentence of "I don't know anything", she left here directly.

"Um?"

Watching the other party go away, Hoshino was thoughtful. Lillie also felt a little strange. She just asked, is this attitude?

Nothing was found, so the two of them could only continue to sit in front of the cafe, and were laughed at by Yulijia, but Zoroark disappeared without knowing when...

Time continued to pass, and soon it was finally 5:30. This time is usually the normal off-duty time, but with the opening of the subway and high-speed rail in the past few years, the flow of people at the station has decreased a lot.

And as the clock next to the station pointed to 5:30, there was finally movement in the cabin.

Dolemia dragged her aging body and walked out. She moved very slowly, but still slowly walked towards the flower bed at the station entrance, and squatted down skillfully above, looking at the station gate.

"..."

This scene was seen by Hoshino and the others. Dolymia seemed to be looking a little better at the moment, but it was just a reflection of her past supported by obsession.

Many people came out of the station. Even though it was the weekend, there was not no one going to work. Most people would take the initiative to say hello after seeing Dorimia, then pass by and go home.

But there was no one inside that it wanted to wait for. It felt that it was almost out of strength, so it lay down on the ground, but still stared at the station door.

In this way, it waited until night fell and the last staff member of the station came out to lock the door and handed it a piece of bread. Then it staggered up and returned the same way with the bread in its mouth...

Yurika and Magiel had already gone back, but Hoshino and the others were still waiting here. They didn't finally get up until Dorimia returned to her home.

"Let's go..."

"Um……"

"Don't think too much, I'll cook when you get back."

"Well, let me hold you slowly..."

The two of them talked all the way, and went to the Miare Gym to pick up the iron baggage. Citron is still busy up to now, as if some ideas have been opened up, and he is full of energy.

After returning to the office, Hoshino started cooking, and Lillie sat on the sofa with a heavy face. At this time, Pikachu jumped to the desk, suddenly shook his head and said: "I don't understand why it would rather do this than continue to wait."

Going down, isn’t it too weird?”

"Maybe this is love?"

"like?"

"Pokémon likes the trainer and is willing to follow him. They also have hearts and their own feelings. They are not controlled machines. If Dolemia can wait like this for a lifetime, it means that it must like its training very much.

Home……"

"But haven't you been abandoned?"

"...Is it really abandoned?"

Lillie raised her head to refute Pikachu's words, while the other person crossed his arms, sat on the desk, and continued: "Anyway, I think so. Most humans are more dangerous and bad creatures than Pokémon. With so-called emotions,

To trick the Pokémon into doing their bidding!"

"Your thoughts are really a bit extreme..."

"I was hunted down by them for half a year with those Pokémon who were as obedient as dogs. You, a human, wouldn't understand this kind of thing!"

"..."

Lillie was about to retort, but she still didn't say anything after hearing this. The other party had been hunted for so long, so he was indeed qualified to say this, and there were indeed bad people in this world.

Take the phrase "strong light creates shadows" used to describe Giratina. No matter how beautiful the times are, there will always be people who are not satisfied behind the scenes and choose to destroy...

They didn't continue talking. After a while, Hoshino and Majiana in the kitchen prepared dinner and came over. They waited at the station until the evening without eating, and the cats were almost starving.

After finishing this, Hoshino looked at Pikachu and said: "It's almost time now. Let's take a look at the contents of the phone. Maybe there will be some very important clues."

"That's right!"

Lillie was also curious. The atmosphere had been too heavy until now in the afternoon, so she took this opportunity to calm down.

"Don't worry, I didn't even look at it."

Pikachu took out his phone, but Hoshino snatched it away the next second.

"Hello!"

"Don't be anxious, let me be anxious first."

Hoshino touched the screen of this small mobile phone and opened some things inside. There was no software, and it even felt like an old man's phone. It was probably for the convenience of keeping up with the times, scanning QR codes to collect money.

After flipping through the photo album for a long time, there were only a few photos in the album that seemed to be taken casually in the office. The contacts were all empty. It seemed that I didn't call anyone at all.

However, Hoshino noticed something strange in the memo. He clicked on it and saw a lot of content with dates and page after page, like an online novel. But if you look closely, you will find that this is a diary!

"Diary? This means..."

Lillie became more and more curious. She didn't expect that Pikachu had the habit of writing a diary. Although she had written it before, it was a long time ago...

Hoshino cast his phone's screen directly on the table so that everyone could see the content. Although it was not good to read other people's diaries, Pikachu himself didn't say anything, so there was no need to worry about being criticized.

"Let me take a look first... The first diary entry was on December 19, six years ago..."

December 19th, yesterday I got this thing called a mobile phone from a human wearing glasses. I heard it is very convenient. I have been studying how to use it today, and then I studied it all day long. I found that it is more convenient to use this thing.

Keep a diary.

"..."

Most of the previous diary contents are not interesting, some commissioned work and some trivial life matters, but there are records every day. Although it looks relatively ordinary, just looking at this, it is difficult to imagine that this was written by a Pikachu instead of

human beings.

Hoshino relied on his own dynamic vision that surpassed that of a ninja to perform quantum reading, automatically filtering out a lot of irrelevant things until he stopped at a diary entry from five years ago...

On July 17th, it was a hot day and it was time to visit Yingxue City. Finally, I walked through the forest maze and sent the playful little Kirby back to the Pokémon Village. Although I had heard of this village

It was a rumor, but this was the first time I knew it actually existed. At the invitation of the Pokémon in the village, I chose to stay there for a while out of curiosity.

"Pokémon Village is said to be a secluded place established by some Pokémon who do not want to come into contact with human society and are tired of the cruel survival in the wild."

Lillie knew about this, although she had only read about it in books and had never been there...

Then they continued to look down...

On July 20th, I had a lot of fun playing in the Pokémon Village for a few days, but my vacation ended today. I originally planned to leave in the afternoon, but unexpectedly I learned from a Jigglypuff that there was also a very strange Pokémon living in the village.

A powerful Pokémon, this arouses my curiosity.

On July 21st, I gave up going back to Miare City and chose to look for that Pokémon. I heard that it suddenly descended on the Pokémon Village in the past and easily defeated the terrifying Squid King who tried to occupy the place.

They drove it away and brought peace to the village, but the Pokémon fainted. After being rescued and woken up by everyone, it lived in seclusion somewhere in the village.

On July 25th, I used my talent as a genius detective and finally successfully found the Pokémon in a hidden cave in the northwest of the village, but it didn't seem to want to pay attention to me, and used its super powers to kill me.

It was thrown into the river.

On July 30, after several days of testing, I finally managed to chat with it, but it didn’t want to open its heart to chat with me. It said it had no heart and didn’t know the meaning of its existence...

On August 2nd, I felt the power of this Pokémon. Its strength far exceeded mine, but it seemed unable to control this power. Or maybe it was full of confusion now. Although I didn’t know its past experience,

But I feel like it's very pitiful...

On August 4th, after more than half a month of vacation, I had to go back to the office. If I didn’t handle the commission, Shushu would have no money to eat, so I chose to say goodbye to him and told him that if he had any problems, he could come to Pikachu.

The detective agency entrusted me with the solution, and when I finally left, the Pokémon told me its name, which seemed to be... Mewtwo?

When the diary saw this, Lillie showed a puzzled expression and whispered: "Mewtwo... what kind of Pokémon is this? It seems that I have never heard of it."

"This... may be the legacy of Team Rocket, and it is also what the international police are currently looking for. I didn't expect it to actually be in Carlos."

"Huh? How do you know?"

"..."

"Okay, tell me when you decide when to talk. I don't want to hear your lies."

Lillie didn't pay attention, and Hoshino could only smile awkwardly. He didn't have any wariness about the other party, so he subconsciously said it just now.

However, Pikachu actually knows Mewtwo, and Mewtwo lives in seclusion in Pokémon Village. This may also be an important clue!

The diary continues reading...

But most of the content returned to the previous dull content. Fortunately, Mewtwo was mentioned a few times in the middle. Pikachu would go over to find him, and it seemed that he was more concerned about it.

Moreover, there are several days of diary content in it, and it also mentions Kabukicho. Pikachu knows that this place is at the entrance to Miare City, but has never been there because he doesn't like the atmosphere of this place.

"Meow~"

Seeing that the entrance to Kabukicho was mentioned in the diary, New Leaf Cat's face showed a smile inadvertently. It searched for a long time last night but couldn't find it. Now it took no effort at all...

I continued to flip through the diary, and the rest of the content was relatively normal, and I occasionally complained about the fact that there are more and more detective agencies around here.

Until August 16, two years ago, Pikachu was invited again to go to Pokémon Hollywood in the Unova region to film the sequel to the "Detective Pikachu" movie.

Although there was a confidentiality agreement, it still recorded some details during the filming in the diary, such as being held in the arms of Nazi, who plays the heroine, and being stuffed into the skirt to hide...

In short, there were various complaints, saying that the other party liked touching it too much. After the shooting that day, he said that the hotel room was quite big and he wanted to take him back to sleep. But how could he agree to such a thing? He also wanted to go to a restaurant to eat, so

The discharge electrocuted Nazi...

The filming lasted for a whole year. When there was a role, I acted, and when there was no role, I continued to be a detective. The filming of the movie was completed on August 3 last year, and then it returned to the office.

The rest of the diary was quite normal until October 25 last year...

The content of the diary was normal on this day, but then it stopped for three days. It was unusual for a Shushu who had been keeping a diary for so many years to stop updating for three days. And then...

October 29th, I’m tired, I haven’t investigated anything, I don’t want to write anything today…

On October 30th, I will fight with you!

On October 31st, the kid who was entrusted with the investigation disappeared. The school said he was asking for leave, but the other kid looked normal and didn't know anything about it. These two... By the way, this should be the job of the police, Mia.

Something seems to have happened in Lei City...

On November 1st, the missing kid came back, but she seemed to have forgotten to entrust me to help with the investigation. It was strange... Although there was no entrustment, as a detective, I must uncover the secrets hidden in Miare City.

The truth, this is my duty!

"..."

When the diary saw this, the office was quiet, and the story finally began. Pikachu was investigating this thing and lost his memory!

"Keep reading..."

On November 11th, I had a headache for several days and couldn't find any useful clues, but today Flammel suddenly came to the office and asked me to help her investigate something related to MEGA evolution. She said that I am the only one she can trust now, and told

I learned something, and these moments opened up my current investigation ideas!

On November 12th, we regained our strength today and officially started the investigation. We must completely uncover the darkness hidden in Miare City!

The diary ends here, this is the last page, but the ending is already very clear. Pikachu did indeed find something, but unfortunately an accident happened and it turned into what it is now.

Looking at the diary of the last few days, Pikachu still didn't think of anything, but Lillie paid attention to one of the important characters!

"Who is Flammell?"

"Wait, let me search online first..."

Hoshino searched with Rotom on his mobile phone, and then said: "I found it. She is the editor-in-chief of Miare Publishing House, and she is also the editor of "Pikachu Detective Story". This is how she became the editor-in-chief, so they know each other.

It’s also reasonable.”

"Editor-in-Chief? I remember..."

Lillie looked at the whiteboard at the office. At this time, Hoshino walked over, took out a marker and drew a circle on Laert's name, saying: "This suspicious guy is the deputy editor. Yesterday I seemed to hear him

Said the editor-in-chief was lost."

"Is it possible to get lost...?"

"Don't think of the worst in everything. Maybe the person is still alive. See if you can ask someone from the publishing house to find out when she got lost."

"But she also said in the diary that only Pikachu can be trusted..."

"Yes, most people in the publishing house may no longer believe it, even some other institutions. Miare City is the center of the Carlos region. If something serious happens, it can easily affect the entire region.

.”

Hoshino already knew why these mysterious people were hiding in Miare City to cause trouble, but why did Flamel entrust Pikachu to investigate the evolution of MEGA?

Moreover, this matter can also be connected with the previous investigation of Pikachu. According to the diary, it should have accepted a commission from an imp, presumably a girl, and then the direction of the investigation was related to another imp, and it was mentioned for the first time.

Amnesia...

"There are so many mysteries..."

Hoshino scratched his hair, feeling that his brain was not enough. He was a fake detective and only dealt with ordinary commissions. He was not good at solving crimes and investigating things. He didn't want to use his brain, he just wanted to be reckless.

"Pikachu-san, what are you doing? Use your invincible detective talent to think of a solution!"

"Well... I think there must be something fishy about this!"

"Isn't this nonsense!"

Hoshino and Pikachu, two idiots, not to mention the other Pokémon, are a group of people who can do things but never use their brains. Only Lillie gently twirled her chin with her fingers and looked at the diary contents projected on the desktop.

, deep in thought...

At this moment, the window of the office suddenly opened, a dark wind blew by, and Zoroark appeared in the living room with resentment floating around.

Pikachu was frightened by its sudden appearance and shouted: "Can't you just go through the main entrance? This will scare Pikachu to death!"

Hoshino ignored this timid guy, but looked at Zoroark and asked: "How is the investigation going?"

"so!"

Zoroark nodded. It suddenly left in the afternoon because it was arranged by the other party to follow the girl... Then it took out a photo and handed it over. Hoshino took it and took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Trainer...

Isn’t this what I found?”

"What?"

Lillie came back to her senses and went aside to look at the photo. What she saw was that it was a Dolemia and a little girl playing ball on the grass in the park, and there was another girl showing a kind smile on the side.

middle-aged people are taking care of them.

The little girl is estimated to be four or five years old, so she cannot be Dolymia's trainer, so there is only one answer...

"This girl is..."

"It should be the one we saw during the day. As for the middle-aged man next to him, he is most likely her grandfather. This photo is at least 15 years old."

"How did you guess that?"

"It's just luck, because the other party's attitude towards Dolymia is a bit strange, and Yulijia also said that she often comes to take care of her, and the other party refuses to talk about Dolymiya, which makes me a little confused, so

Try asking Zoroark to follow you home and look for anything worth noting."

"so!"

The big fox was also very concerned about this matter, so he searched the other party's home very carefully. This photo was found in the sleeping girl's room.

"..."

After hearing this, Lillie didn't know what to say. Just follow her... and you still stole things after people fell asleep. If I met you, you would be scared to death...

"But you can be sure that this person is Dolymia's trainer?"

"So I decided to go to her home tomorrow to find her and confront her with this photo."

"..."

On the second day, Hoshino and Pikachu went out together, but Lillie did not follow them. She expressed that she wanted to stay at home and then carefully consider the clues in the diary.

The girl's family is quite wealthy, and they live in the villa area of ​​Miare City. There is also a large yard at home, but with Zoroark leading the way and the illusion covering it, it was easy to sneak in.

At the moment, the other person is reading a book in the living room, which is some textbooks on Pokémon research, and there is a flower leaf beside him, and there is no one else at home.

Just a sudden snap of her fingers made her come back to her senses subconsciously. At some point, on the sofa opposite, there was a man looking at her calmly. She recognized him at a glance that she had met him yesterday!

"How do you get in..."

"Okay, I just want to ask you some questions, and I will leave after answering them."

Hoshino snapped his fingers, and Zoroark's hallucination enveloped the entire living room, as if he was teleported to a park grass.

Before the girl came to her senses, he took out the photo and returned it to its original owner, and asked: "Isn't the Dolymia in the photo the one at the station? And you are the little girl? The one next to you is its trainer?

"

Three questions in a row completely stunned the girl who got the photo. She had no idea how the other person did it. But looking at the other person's face, she finally remembered who this person was!

"You're the one on the news the day before yesterday..."

"Yes, that's me."

Hoshino did not hide anything and explained that this was a commissioned work from his detective agency, but he used a slightly tougher approach.

"..."

The girl was speechless. She couldn't understand that someone with his identity could actually do something like a detective commission. But the photo was exposed, and now the relationship between Dolemia and their family could no longer be hidden...

At noon, Hoshino, who had successfully obtained all the information, returned to the office. However, after learning everything, his expression also looked a little heavy, and even Pikachu had nothing to say.

Although the middle-aged man in the photo is indeed the girl's grandfather, he is not Dolymia's trainer, but a friend who has known him for many years...

The other party came to Miare City to work hard when he was young, but in the end he was smoothed out by society. He couldn't pay the rent and was kicked out by the landlord. He had to sleep on the street. Even the Pokémon that had accompanied him for several years no longer wanted him.

It was a snowy night, and the last money in his hand was only enough to buy a ticket home, but he was unwilling to give up and lingered at the station entrance until the station closed in the evening.

Being cold and hungry, he still couldn't make up his mind. At this moment, he met an abandoned and wandering Dolymia, who was starving and lying on the roadside.

Perhaps because looking at the other person, he thought of himself, he saved Dolymia and chose to use the ticket money to buy two pieces of food...

They met like this, and after that, the completely penniless young man finally got a job after unremitting efforts. However, the work unit did not allow him to bring Pokémon in, and he did not want to use the Poké Ball to conquer Dorimia.

You can only leave it in the rental house.

But every day after get off work, when he came back from the company by car, Dolemia would come to the station door on time to wait, and then go to dinner together. This went on for a long time, until he had a successful career, had a wife and children, and lived in a big city. Villa, their friendship has not changed at all...

But there will eventually be a day of separation. He has become an old man and has been diagnosed with a terminal illness that cannot be cured. There is not much time left, and he does not want to tell his only true friend about this.

As friends, we have supported each other until now. No matter who dies first, the one left behind is the saddest. He didn't want his old friend to shed tears for him, so he chose to hide it and said that he was going to work somewhere far away. Maybe

It will take a long time to come back.

And Dolymia really thought that he was the same as before, so she went to the station and waited for her old friend to come back from get off work as in the past, and then went home to eat and take a walk together...

His only last wish when he died was not to let Dolymia know about his death, and his family members also chose to abide by it. They believed that Dolymia would leave after a while, but no one expected that Dolymia would leave after a while.

After waiting for so many years!

There were family members who wanted to pick it up or take it to the Pokémon Center for treatment, but every time it came back and continued to wait here, there was nothing anyone could do, whether it was the deceased old man or the dog.

The personalities are the same.

This is everything the girl told Hoshino. She also wanted to go against her grandfather's last wish several times and tell Dorimia about his death, but in the end she didn't say it because this was the only obsession that kept him alive...

After Hoshino returned to the office, he also told Lillie the truth. The girl did not report him for breaking into the house. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief after telling the matter. He also hoped that the office could handle the matter. After all, Dolly

Mia's time is running out.

After listening to this, Lillie also calmed down for a while, and then asked in a calm tone: "How do you want to solve it, tell Dolymia directly? Or do nothing, just hide it from everyone.

Go down..."

"..."

Hoshino fell into silence. He seemed to have experienced the feeling that Zoroark had when he was waiting for him to appear. Something... To understate the process and to state it in detail are two different things.

He turned sideways and looked at the quiet fox, took a deep breath, and asked, "Do you want to do it?"

"so!"

Seeing Zoroark nodding without hesitation, Lillie asked in confusion: "Do you have a solution?"

"We are not just a detective agency, we are also a jack-of-all-trades house... a house that does everything!"

"Pickup?"

…

Time continued to pass, and unknowingly it was already half past five in the afternoon. Dolymia continued to walk slowly towards the station entrance as usual, dragging her increasingly weak body.

Some passers-by looked away, unable to bear to see this scene, and were about to leave, but suddenly something seemed to be falling from the sky, melting the moment it touched their skin, and sending a chill.

People at the station looked up one after another, and saw that in the September sky, snowflakes were actually falling, and they were getting heavier and heavier. The weather forecast did not say it would snow, so everyone could only speed up and go home.

Snowflakes gradually covered Dolymia's body. She was lying in front of the flower bed, still looking at the station entrance with some blurred vision, but there were not many people around, but no one noticed that the clock beside the station had frozen at some point.

…

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, as if winter has arrived. The already old Dolymia can no longer resist the cold with her fur coat.

But the clock over there seems to be permanently fixed at half past five, and will not move forward. It continues to lie here, continuing to wait, and its eyes are slowly closing unknowingly...

At this time, the sound of a train that no longer seemed to belong to this era was heard. It subconsciously opened its eyes. The station style at this time seemed to be the same as it was decades ago, but it did not notice anything unusual.

Watching the station door opening to both sides, many people coming off work poured out, but no one looked at it, and it just continued to stare ahead, watching the person who finally walked out of the station, pushing the frame and smiling

Look at your man.

The other party called out to his old friend, and he was so happy that he immediately rushed over and hugged his old friend tightly, as if he had never left.

Then he listened to his old friend complaining about today's work, and listened to the other party talk about what he wanted to eat tonight, and then walked home together...

The clock at the station was still running, and Dolymia lying on the ground had lost her breath, but the smile on her face seemed to indicate that she had seen something very happy when she left this world.

Hoshino and Lillie stood aside, and the girl and her family were also here. Zoroark used hallucinations to make Dolymia end his obsession and left with his old friend.

"Thanks!"

The girl and her family expressed their sincere gratitude to Hoshino, and then took Dolymia's body away, hoping to bury it with the old man...

After doing all this, Hoshino looked at the moving clock over there, and his mood had not yet completely recovered. Lillie did not bother him. She also knew that the other party felt uncomfortable after making such a decision.

Pikachu stood aside. It had nothing to say, and its mood was also very heavy. It felt as if it understood something, and that was something it had always been very confused about and even disgusted...

This lasted for a while. Hoshino sighed, and finally a smile appeared on his face. Then he patted Zoroark and said, "It's getting late. What do you want to eat today? We'll go to the supermarket on the way back."

Buy some and I'll cook."

"I want to eat Miaregre pie!"

"Okay, then let's go to the dessert shop!"

"Meow~"

"Want to eat fish? No problem!"

The two of them and their Pokémon laughed happily and headed back to the office. After the iron bag stopped, the snow on the station side also stopped.

But the last snowflake in the night was fluttering in the cold wind that had not dissipated, and finally landed on the flower bed where Dolymia was last...

…
