Pokemon Dawn

Dr. Oki greeted the newcomers and parent groups who had returned from the trip with a smile. He did not mind at all that his institute had become a gathering place for a bunch of idle people - or in fact, he quite liked the excitement, and he often invited people from the town before.

The children came to have dinner in the backyard of the institute.

"Xiaomao and the others came back a few days ago. I'm going to make a call to inform them to come and get together." The old man looked at his wrinkled white coat, smiled and shook his phone, and at the same time secretly decided that Xiaomao must be here.

Change these clothes before coming back to avoid further damage to your ears.

"Sorry for your trouble."

Xiaoye nodded to Dr. Omu, watched him return to the back room, and looked back helplessly at the commotion on the other side.

Xiao Tian’s mother, Yuka Tachibana, is a well-known actor. When she was a girl, she came into the public eye by playing the heroine Fujiwara Fei in the highly acclaimed youth campus drama "Scarlet Sky". She is still active on the big screen today.

.

Ancient people like Xiaoye who have not watched TV for 800 years have no idea about this, but Xiaojie and Xiaoling obviously know her. Xiaoling even happily asked for an autograph and immediately said that she would treasure it as a family heirloom.

, which made Xiaotian beside him want to cover his face.

"I didn't expect that Xiaotian, your mother is actually Miss Yuxiang. Now I die with no regrets." The blond girl held a signed book with little flowers all over her body. She thought she had successfully given her son's friend

Yuka, who left a good impression, also had little flowers all over her body, and immediately filled the background of half the room with pink.

The wife of First Class Investigator Seikai Kamaba is the well-known actress Yuka Tachibana. If this news spreads, it will surely shock many people. Thinking of this, Xiaoling laughed and finally wanted to change the topic.

, "Speaking of which, Xiaoye, what kind of people are your parents?" Are they also some great people like Xiaotian? For example, the long-established waveguide messenger?

When she asked this question, Xiaoling didn't notice the subtle change in the silver-haired boy's expression, and neither did Xiaoye. In fact, half of Xiaoye's thoughts were still on "I wonder if Dr. Ohki will have time to complete the light speed change before Xiaomao arrives."

"Pretending to get rid of the image of a sloppy old man", he replied smoothly, "Well, I don't know either."

She once wrote this question down on her notepad very perfunctorily, although she didn't think she would run into any cliche settings, such as thinking that an orphan in time traveled was actually a lost child of a wealthy family.

"……ah?"

When the golden retriever siblings and even Xinghai showed blank expressions, Xiaoye realized that her inappropriate way of answering had caused a sudden silence in the air, and she quickly added, "I mean..."

Before he could say a few words, Xiaotian suddenly stood up, causing everyone's doubtful eyes to shift to him. The young man quickly walked to the door and opened it gently——

Someone who was about to throw himself at the door suddenly fell to the ground on the hard floor of the laboratory.

"It hurts, it hurts... Why did you open the door so suddenly, Xiaotian..." The black-haired boy stood up with a grin on his face and complained.

"You will break the door." Xiaotian calmly shook the door twice, and the door shaft immediately squeaked in agreement to express his vulnerability. There were still some scorched marks on the surface that could not be wiped off. It must have been damaged again.

Which disobedient Pokémon has this kind of behavior?

"Hahahaha, Xiaozhi, what are you doing?"

"Too stupid."

Two young men, a man and a woman, followed them into the research institute, and the girl's brisk laughter immediately filled the not-so-wide space of the living room.

"Long time no see, Xiaotian, and Xiaoye!"

Xiaoye smiled and waved to the visitor. Xiaozhi, Xiaoyun, and Xiaomao - the five new trainers who set out from Zhenxin Town in 1000 finally gathered together.

"Long time no see. You guys came so quickly."

"After all, everyone's home is very close to the institute."

The three new guys pushed and squeezed into the sofa, and Dr. Oki also walked out of the back room - he was not wearing a white coat after all, but unfortunately the buttons on his shirt were wrong, and it looked like he had put them on in a hurry.

.

Such gatherings are no stranger to adults or minors in Zhenxin Town. Although Xiaojie and Xiaoling don’t know anyone else yet, these two golden retrievers are best at getting to know strangers. After introducing themselves, they

Joined the conversation with ease.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoyun, who were originally responsible for the noise, had the help of the golden retriever siblings, and the noise level in the whole room suddenly increased three times, and they almost went to have a drink together. Xiaoye looked at Xinghai and Yuka with the same squinted smile.

, then looked at the string of ellipses above Xiaotian's head, and calmly made a conclusion: Fortunately, Xiaomao did not turn on the tit-for-tat mode with Xiaozhi, otherwise this room would kill three Pichus.

After a short lunch party, everyone decided to have dinner together in the backyard of Dr. Ohki's research institute for the first time in a long time. Strictly speaking, the golden retriever brother and sister, who were not residents of Zhenxin Town, were also warmly invited - of course, with the personalities of these two,

Even if no one invites them, they will join in the fun on their own.

Before dinner time came, of course everyone could no longer crowd in the research institute and cause trouble for Dr. Omu, so they all went back to their homes. According to Xiaojie and Xiaoling, the house where their father lived in Zhenxin Town when he was a child is still there and needs to be cleaned.

It's completely ready for habitation again.

so……

Xiaoye turned back for the third time and looked at the two smiling golden retrievers following her with a question mark. They might have been along the way at first, but now they have gone to a place so remote that even the Kadi dog didn't want to deal with it... Their father was a child when he was a child.

You wouldn't live on the outskirts of a town as subtle as your own, right?

Thinking about it carefully, Xiaotian seemed to have whispered a few words to the two of them when they were chatting just now. Xiaotian... shouldn't be a person who can come up with some weird ideas?

Before Xiaoye couldn't help but want to ask something, Xiaoling spoke seriously.

"Xiaoye, think about it. Your house has been covered with dust for half a year, and our house has been covered with dust for more than ten years. We have to clean it anyway. Wouldn't it be better to pool the efforts of the three of us to clean only one room?"

"And I don't really want to see what the dust of more than ten years looks like. It must be scarier than the beauty of Dr. Aperro Canti." Xiaojie also continued seriously.

Xiaoye: "...you actually remember his name???" (stunned)

Xiaoling: "Isn't it Ticon Luoape???" (dumbfounded)

Xiaojie: "...That's enough, that's not the point! And what is Ticon Luo Ape? Are you trying to be cute!?"

After struggling to get back to the topic that had turned eight corners, Xiaoye finally understood what Xiaojie and Xiaoling meant - to put it bluntly, they were just too lazy to clean their own house that had accumulated dust for more than ten years.

Xiaoye nodded, expressing her understanding. After all, she didn't really want to look directly at the house that had been idle for half a year. It might be a good idea to concentrate on cleaning, but...

"Well, it's good to save time on cleaning, but my house may be a bit... cramped?" Xiaoye tried to describe what she meant, and after struggling for a long time, she only found a word that couldn't be said.

"Eh? Didn't Xiaoyun just say that your home is very spacious?" Xiaojie blinked in confusion.

Did Xiaoyun say that? Xiaoye tried to recall it, but found that she could only recall a buzzing noise, so she had to give up, "It's not the narrow one with a small area. Well... you will know after you take a look."

They led the two golden retrievers all the way to the outskirts. When Xiaoye opened the door, Xiaojie and Xiaoling both understood the meaning of "narrow" in their jaws.

If you only count the area that can be used by people... it is indeed very narrow.

There is almost nothing in the huge living room, except for a small wooden table and two chairs placed in the corner, which is almost uncomfortably empty. The walls are also too white, without any decoration, which makes the concrete floor look dull.

A desolation.

"Except for the bed in my bedroom, the other rooms on the second floor are all empty." Xiaoye spread her hands helplessly, "You understand."

Although the room was not small in size, there was an extreme lack of furniture inside. After Xiaoye woke up and took over the house, she did not buy any furniture - after all, she was the only one living there, and she did not need or could afford more furniture.

"...It's so spectacular, I think I have to take a photo." Xiaoling's tone was astonishing as if she was visiting some historical site, "But it looks like it's easy to clean."

Or maybe there's no room in the world that's better to clean.

"That's right, I think we can finish it in two hours." Xiaojie nodded in agreement.

"Uh, so..."

"No problem, although there is no bed, do we have sleeping bags?~" Xiaoling interrupted Xiaoye with a smile and pointed to the spacious and flat living room, which was very suitable for setting up camp.

Xiaoye: "..."

Okay, you win.

The other party mentioned this, so Xiaoye naturally couldn't refuse - although she still felt that it was very rude to let the guests sleep in sleeping bags in the living room. Do you really hate cleaning that much?

Facing Xiaoye's question, the golden retriever brother and sister nodded with expressions of bitterness and hatred.

"My grandfather is very strict in checking our housekeeping. Even if there is even a little bit of dust on the ground, it will be a psychological shadow. He also told us that there should be no garbage in the trash can and no things on the table... What about the trash can and the table?

What is it for?" The blonde girl's twin ponytails were drooped.

Xiaoye was dumbfounded when he heard this. Xiaojie and Xiaoling's grandfather, Xia Yang Yuanzheng, was a soldier after all. He had been a soldier for most of his life, so it was only natural that he would be strict with internal affairs as a reflex.

"Did I also tell you that you can't hang clothes on hangers and don't let people lie on the bed?" Xiaoye joked with a smile.

"Oh, that's right! How did you know?"

"...I just said it casually. Is this really the case?"

"Of course it's true! Now can you understand our hatred of internal affairs?"

"Yes, I understand."

Xiaoye nodded solemnly and took her two companions who didn't want to work to get the cleaning tools. Questions kept popping up in her mind.

So...where should the clothes be hung, and where should the garbage be thrown?

This may be an age-old mystery.

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

Small theater:

Xiaoling: Cleaning is too troublesome. I should try to use my super power to sweep out all the dust!

Xiaojie: ...Stop, have you forgotten that you demolished the house the last time you did this?

Xiao Ye:……

Xiaojie: Ahem, Xiaoye, don’t look so frightened. We won’t demolish your home, don’t worry. (Muttering quietly) We will also lose money if we demolish your home...

Xiaoye: I’m not at all worried. (Dead eyes)
