Pokemon Dawn

"You played great today, thank you." The green-haired girl stroked the spiny shell's head and encouraged her winning partner with a smile.

After receiving a soft response from the armored shell, the girl turned around and waved cheerfully to the audience, "I have won three consecutive games! How about it, Tong... eh?"

The girl's movements stopped and she turned her head to the other side in a daze.

Xiaoye smiled at the familiar person on the stage and said, "Xiaoyun, long time no see."

"Xiaoye!" Xiaoyun shouted in surprise.

Xiaoye and Xiaoyun had never seen each other since they parted ways in Zhenxin Town. But unexpectedly they met again in this elementary school. Xiaoyun unabashedly wrote her joyful mood on her face and lay on the edge of the ring.

Calling to Xiaoye, "Long time no see! I didn't expect you to come to participate in the competition, Xiaoye. What a coincidence. By the way, did you see the battle I just fought? Winning is cool, right?"

The girl was still as noisy as before. Fortunately, the sports ground was already noisy, so Xiaoyun's voice was not that obvious.

Xiaoye had long been accustomed to Xiaoyun's liveliness. She nodded with a smile and skillfully interrupted Xiaoyun's ramblings while she was taking a breather, "You have another challenger."

"Eh?" Xiaoyun quickly turned around, and as expected, saw a boy of similar age to him already standing opposite, and the battle recorder also showed a request for a battle.

"Let's talk later!" Xiaoyun waved hurriedly and quickly clicked the [Accept Battle] button.

The battle began, and the spiny shell and the monkey monster were fighting on the field. The turbulent water waves were raging on the field, looking quite powerful.

Xiaoyun is worthy of being a trainer from Zhenxin Town, and his strength is already very good among newcomers. The cooperation between the spiny shell and his master is very tacit, and it can be seen from various details that Xiaoyun is a trainer who pays attention to communication with Pokémon.

trainer.

The waves of water collided with the monkey monster's fists and feet, turning into splashes of water. In order to prevent her clothes from getting wet, Xiao Ye took a few steps back.

"How rude." A muffled mutter came from Xiaoye's side.

Xiaoye turned around following the sound. A little black-haired boy wearing a rainbow elementary school uniform and black-rimmed glasses stood upright behind the spectator cordon, with a wrinkled expression on his face.

As if aware that his voice was too loud, the little boy was stunned, and immediately bowed solemnly to Xiaoye, "I'm sorry. If what I just said caused you displeasure, I apologize."

The little boy did not ignore the previous conversation between Xiaoyun and Xiaoye. It was very rude to speak ill of the friend he was talking to in person. The teacher once taught him this.

"It's okay." Xiaoye smiled at this mature-looking little boy. Just as he was about to continue saying something, another explosion came from the stage, and splashing water sprayed everyone.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xiaoye blinked and said, "No need to apologize, I think you are right."

Although most new trainers have a rough and tumble fighting style, Xiaoyun really brings this characteristic into full play.

Watching Xiaoyun's rough and arrogant battle, Xiaoye exchanged names with the boy wearing glasses - the Green Field Cup competition was originally intended to promote exchanges between trainers and students.

The boy's name is Shangren, and he is a third-grade student at Caihong Primary School. He is seven years old this year. Caihong Elementary School suspended classes all day during the Green Field Cup and organized students to go to the sports field to watch the game.

"I'm not interested in Pokémon battles." Shang Ren adjusted his glasses, his face showing the helplessness of a young adult, "But this is an activity organized by the school, so I have to participate."

"Don't you like Pokémon?" Xiaoye leaned down to talk to Shang Ren. Pichu on her shoulder was still a little confused about the situation, but after hearing these words, he was shocked and his little face immediately fell.

"No!" Under Pichu's watery eyes, Shangren shook his head repeatedly, "I like Pokémon very much and want to know them. But fighting will hurt Pokémon, so..." As he said that, the boy quietly

He glanced at the furry little Pichu.

Pokémon are such cute creatures, how could they hate them? It’s just that Naoto doesn’t like to command them to engage in rough battles, nor does he want to see these little guys getting hurt.

"Really?" Xiaoye narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"...That." Shang Ren raised his head and said hesitantly, "Can I touch it?"

Xiao Ye and Pichu looked at each other. Pichu, who had always been a little out of the situation, understood Shang Ren's last words, tilted his head, and jumped lightly onto the boy's shoulders.

Shang Ren, who had always acted like a little adult before, immediately became at a loss. He stood up straight nervously, fearing that Pichu would accidentally fall. He raised his hand and didn't know whether to stroke the little fur ball or put it down.

"This child is very friendly, just play with it without any worries." Xiaoye looked at the busy boy with a smile.

Pichu has a lively and straightforward personality. He has never been wary of humans, and he never minds being touched by unfamiliar people. When Shangren carefully picked up Pichu, the golden electric mouse showed a big smile, which made him smile.

The boy's face turned red instantly.

On the field, Xiaoyun and his opponent were still in a fierce stalemate, and it seemed that the winner would not be determined for a while. However, Xiaoyun's offensive momentum did not change at all, and the cold light swept across, making the fence of the ring freeze.

A layer of frost.

After handing the furry little guy back to Saya, Naoto returned to his usual serious look and expressed his views solemnly, "I'm very happy to see so many Pokémon, but I don't want to try to fight against them at all." The school teacher

They rarely teach us practical combat."

"I did hear that Rainbow Primary School pays more attention to teaching Pokémon knowledge." Xiaoye nodded.

At the mention of knowledge, Shang Ren's eyes seemed to light up behind his thick lenses, "Yes, I want to know more about them. Not through fighting, but through more peaceful means."

Xiaoye was stunned by Shanato's mature words that were inconsistent with his age, but the boy continued his story, "Disputes will bring pain, but peace is the most important treasure."

Saying that, Shang Ren looked to the other side and raised his face with a smile, "right, brother breeder?"

"Eh? I did say that." The man standing on Shang Ren's right was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I didn't expect you to remember such words."

Xiao Ye followed Shang Ren's movements and looked around. The young man talking to Shang Ren had dark green silky long hair, tied back in a neat low ponytail and hanging on his back. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and was taller than Xiao Ye.

Nearly a head taller, he has begun to take on the calm look of an adult; different from his age, the handsome boy has a soft smile, giving people a refreshing and pleasant feeling like a forest, even when talking to the seven-year-old Shang Ren.

There was no trace of impatience.

"Sorry, I just saw you guys chatting happily, so I didn't say hello." The dark green-haired boy smiled apologetically and extended his hand to Xiaoye, "My name is Kiriha, please give me some advice."

"I'm Xiaoye, please give me some advice." Xiaoye smiled and shook hands with the boy.

"Hey, aren't you... acquaintances?" Shangren asked in confusion. Seeing that both of them looked a little confused, Shangren pointed at Xiaoyun who was fighting on the stage, "Because you are all friends with that sister, right?

"

The young man named Tong Ye immediately understood what Shang Ren meant, smiled and shook his head, "We don't know each other." Then, his eyes turned to Xiao Ye, "I am Xiao Yun's traveling companion. I heard the conversation you two just had.

, you are her old friend, right?"

"Yes, Xiaoyun and I are from the same town." Xiaoye nodded, not surprisingly receiving the young man's understanding gaze.

"As expected, Xiaoyun mentioned that she has several childhood sweethearts who set out to become trainers together. Nice to meet you, Xiaoye."

"Yes, thank you for always taking care of my friend, Mr. Kiriha [Note 1]." Xiaoye bowed solemnly to the boy who was much taller than herself.

It’s very clear how Xiaoyun’s character is different from Xiaoye’s. This senior who is older than her must have put a lot of effort into the journey. And Xiaoyun is a good childhood friend of Xiaoye, so it is essential to express gratitude for this.

of.

"What the hell." Tong Ye waved her hands quickly, "There's no need to be so polite, just call me by my name like Xiaoyun did."

Although the boy was an experienced trainer in the profession, he had no airs of seniority towards newcomers like Xiaoye. On the contrary, he seemed a little uncomfortable because of Xiaoye's well-behaved etiquette.

boom--

The deafening sound interrupted Xiaoye's words that were about to be spoken.

The three of them, who were once again doused with water, stood on the sidelines, speechless for a moment. However, Xiaoyun's powerful voice still echoed in the court, not being overwhelmed by the explosion at all.

"This is the state, attack, attack -"

====================

[Note 1]:

Saya's name for Kiriha is "Tongye さん", which is also "Tongye-san", which is an honorific for someone who is older than her. Translating it to sir is actually not very reasonable, but it would be too rude to omit the title directly.

I have to make do with it, please forgive me.

====================
