Pokemon Dawn

After the boy slammed the door and left, the air in the room solidified.

Pichu barely understood Luke's words, but still instinctively felt something was wrong. It didn't know that the silver-haired young man a few walls away had already opened his eyes in shock, and for a moment he was afraid to speak out.

Pichu had never seen his trainer show such an expression - even though it was only for a short moment.

Just as it was hesitating to poke its trainer with its little paw, Xiaoye suddenly tapped her palm.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have bought a voice recorder first!"

"……mound?"

The gloomy atmosphere was swept away, and Pichu was filled with worry, leaving only a blank, animalistic look on his face.

"Although his tone was not very polite, Luke just revealed a lot of important information that I didn't know." Xiaoye said, and actually took out a notepad and started writing furiously, "Unfortunately, he spoke too fast, and there is nothing I can do about it.

Remember it all. It would be great if I could record it."

Pichu looked at Xiaoye in confusion. The girl's expression was no different from usual, and there was a bit of Pichu's familiar smile at the end of her words. The tip of the pen sliding on the paper flew very briskly, and anyone would feel that this

He is a carefree guy with no worries at all.

The abnormality that was accidentally revealed for half a second was more like an illusion caused by vertigo.

"Important information...Qiu?" Pichu racked his brains, but still felt that what the guy with the disgusting smell said was similar to the barking of a katy dog, "I didn't understand Qiu at all."

"For example, he mentioned 'the first nine years that are blank in my memory.'" Xiaoye closed the notepad and explained to Pichu casually, "I haven't told anyone about this, not even you know, right?

?But Luke knows that this means that he may have some connection with the past 'me'."

The electric mouse nodded and shook its head, not sure whether it understood or not. The human unit of time is indeed difficult for Pokémon to understand. Maybe it is thinking about how many meals it can eat in "nine years".

After rubbing the little hairball, Xiaoye looked at the cover of the notepad and fell into deep thought.

When Luke suddenly threw the description "a foreign object wandering outside the whole world" in Xiaoye's face, she almost thought that Luke knew that she was not a resident of this world, but a ghost from another world. But when she calmed down, she

You will find that this is not the case - she does not have the so-called "memory of the first nine years", because she came to this world on the day when she was nine years old on "Xingyu Night", so it is naturally impossible to know the story before this. If

Knowing her true identity, Luke would never think that the first nine years in her own memory were blank.

Obviously, the target of Luke's words is not "Liang Xiaoye", but "Xingyuye" himself who exists in this world. But doesn't this mean that her "host" itself does not have the ability to control the past nine years?

memory?

When she thought that "Xingyuye" had a blank past before her arrival, and had no experience other than being dominated by ghosts from another world, Xiaoye even felt as absurd as if she had created a new game character.

If you think along this conclusion, the contradiction still exists. Luke clearly mentioned "disobeying orders", and before checking into the contestant village, Bai Lan also showed an attitude that she should know something. But Xiaoye can guarantee that she

After she woke up on January 1, 999 in the Elven Calendar, her memories of every minute and every second were clearly identifiable, and none of the content they mentioned was included.

Going round and round, the problem is back to its original point.

——Who is "I" and why is "I" here?

Although the secret revealed by Luke made Xiaoye feel rare shock and confusion, she still temporarily put aside these questions that were somehow philosophical. For Xiaoye, questions that only related to herself are always difficult.

It was at the top of the priority list. If Luke hadn't come to her door like this, she wouldn't even have cared so much about her so-called identity mystery.

What's more, she had already made plans to explore the reason for her arrival and how to return to her original world.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Xiaoye realized that she might have to take a bath as planned. It was going to be the time for lunch that she had agreed with everyone, so she had better go to eat first.

Since all the restaurants in the contestant village are free for contestants, few people go to the Pokémon Center cafeteria where they have long been tired of eating, and Xiaoye and her group are no exception. They discussed today's lunch location last night, and it will be at 10 noon.

We met at the door at two o'clock on time and walked into the restaurant laughing and joking.

Xinghai smiled and greeted the children as usual, but his peripheral vision kept lingering on Xiaoye.

Luke's words not only shocked Xiaoye, but also caused turmoil in Xinghai's heart. In just a few minutes, he had already thought of a lot of things, even more than the person involved Xiaoye thought - when he was in Zhenxin Town, he understood

He picked up the letter that Xiao Ye couldn't read. The familiar handwriting clearly said "stay away from the people on the list from this moment on." And Luke personally admitted that Shen Yu Xinghai and his son were in the relationship more than ten minutes ago.

within the scope of the list.

Coupled with the name that was initially thought to be just a coincidence but now seems extremely suspicious, Xinghai is almost certain that Xingyuye must have some unknown connection with his master Xingyu Baiye.

Although one of the parties seems to know nothing about it.

Luke's impulsiveness indeed revealed a lot of information that cannot be ignored, but for both Xiaoye and Xinghai, the known information was too little, and it was not enough to draw a decent conclusion. I decided to record this incident in

In his heart, after temporarily not pursuing the matter during the competition, Xinghai was secretly relieved.

He knew what a kind man his master was. No matter what the truth was, it was impossible for the former Chief Investigator Xingyu Baiye to harm the people he wanted to protect.

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Xinghai once again turned his attention to Xiaoye.

The purple-haired girl was talking and laughing as usual. She looked almost exactly the same as when she walked into another restaurant with her companions yesterday. If the surveillance video was called up and edited, it could be used for both purposes. If she hadn't "witnessed" the whole process

, Xinghai would never have thought that she had just experienced an extremely vicious abuse.

"Xiao Ling, you won't be able to eat lunch like this." Seeing Xiao Ling holding a bag of snacks and chewing them with joy, Xiao Jie couldn't help but remind him. However, his preaching soon stopped because

Xiaoling simply and roughly stuffed a piece of cake into her brother's mouth.

"This is not an ordinary dessert. This is the signature piece of the famous Lava Cake House in Miyuan City. No one can just look at it and resist eating it, right?" Xiaoling replied confidently, not forgetting to poke it.

Xiaoye and Yangzhen - although the latter ran out five meters away when he saw her, Xiaoling's claws did not fall on the target, "It's the one we went to together last time. I thought the store was destroyed by lava bugs."

If it's like that, it will definitely not be able to open in the near future. I didn't expect that it was renovated yesterday afternoon!"

"Well, is it the store where the bomb exploded?" Xiaoye still remembers the chaotic scene that day.

"I heard from the shop owner that it was just a misunderstanding and there was no bomb." Xiaoling explained while quickly taking out a small cake and handing it to Xiaoye, "Xiaoye, do you want to try it?"

Xinghai has settled in Miyuan City all year round, and has also heard of the reputation of the Lava Cake House. It is said that this shop only uses the flames of lava bugs for baking. The taste of all snacks has a hot and strong taste like lava. The unique production method even

This store has become a city-level famous store. Perhaps its only drawback is that it is too expensive.

Somehow, the vicious words of the boy from the Guanghui Society suddenly flashed through Xinghai's mind. At the same time, Xiaoye on the other side also said with a serious face: "No need, its price makes me dare not say it, or...

Friendly store bread suits me better.”

Xiaoling stopped and showed a speechless expression, "...If you say this, your hands are not very honest."

Xiao Ye looked at the delicate snack in her hand and showed an innocent expression like "Oh, why did it get into my hand by itself?" "That's right, I'll give it back to you."

"I don't want it!"

Xiaoling didn't pay attention to Xiaoye's casual joke at all, and happily distributed the remaining cakes to others, and inevitably started a chasing battle with Yangzhen. The noisy two children attracted everyone's attention.

No one noticed the expression of the silver-haired young man walking at the end.

Xinghai looked at the children who were playing as usual. He could see Xiaoye's eyes - clear and calm, like a cold pool that could be seen to the end at a glance, without any negative things hidden.

He knows that when a person really cares about others "talking about topics you don't understand, buying things you can't afford, and using fighting skills you have never heard of", the look in their eyes is not like this. In his youth, Xinghai did once

There is such a partner: his father disappeared shortly after he was born, and his mother was also ill. He had to bear the weight of the entire family at a young age. That partner indeed had excellent talents, perseverance, and temperament.

But he is much more extreme and sensitive than ordinary people, with complex and dark emotions always surging in those light yellow eyes. Even after a long time has passed since joining Canglong Fang, he will still be confused because of other people casually mentioning money.

He gets furious about valuables, connections and all topics belonging to the so-called upper class, and even feels that everyone is openly or covertly mocking him and looking down on him.

But at the same time, Xinghai understood that people's sensitivity and inferiority actually come from unattainable pride - thinking that they should not be in such a position, thinking that they should be better and shine brighter, but they are always stuck in the quagmire.

Being unable to escape and being looked down upon by others, people will be unwilling to accept it, suffer pain, and feel "inferior". If a person thinks that he is an inferior person from the bottom of his heart, or does not care about who he is at all, then

He will not have complex emotions such as inferiority, just like an old beggar who has been begging for food for his whole life will never think that kneeling to others is detrimental to his face.

So, what is this child thinking about who is in a very similar position to that person back then?

...What on earth is Mr. Xinghai thinking?

Years of battlefield experience have taught Xiaoye the ability to sensitively detect other people's gazes. At first, she didn't pay attention to the gazes from behind, until Xinghai began to stare directly at the back of her head, which made her confused.

I'm almost breaking into a cold sweat.

There was a calm smile on Xiaoye's face, but her heart was already full of confusion. She probably didn't do anything that would anger Mr. Xinghai, right? Why was she staring at her as if she were a human-shaped suncake...

Thinking of the piles of suncakes that Xinghai had stuffed into her in piles, Xiaoye suddenly understood. She turned around and raised the lava cake that she had not yet had time to eat - she was the only one who did not eat it in the first place.

, "Mr. Xinghai, would you like to try it?"

"Huh?" Xinghai was stunned.

"I remember that you seem to like these kinds of snacks very much." Xiao Ye said calmly. Not to mention that Xinghai once bought dozens of sun cakes and ate them with gusto. Grandpa Yuan Zheng next to him was also staring at his grandson's hand.

Half a piece of cake, looking salivating - so it must be normal for the mature and steady prosecutor to also look at the cake and see it with tears in his eyes.

Xinghai, who was suddenly pulled back from complex thinking to the world of entertainment, was stuck for a long time before he shook his head and laughed dumbly. He waved his hands again and again, not intending to snatch snacks from the hands of the children. Marshal Lieri had no such burden at all. Seeing Xinghai "

He hesitated and expressed his polite refusal," and immediately looked at Xiaoye with sparkling eyes.

In the end, Xiaotian sighed and caught Xiaoling and Yangzhen who were running in circles. He took two more cakes from the bag and gave them to the hopeless adults. He looked at his son who wrote "Why did you even grab the cakes?"

"Xinghai rarely felt a bit dumbfounded by his expression.

As a result, lunch on this day was passed smoothly with laughter and laughter as always, as if no uninvited guest had ever broken into the lives of the contestants. In the afternoon, Xinghai rarely accompanied Xiaotian to adjust the status of Pokémon, but went ahead of schedule.

Arrived at branch venue C at 1 hour.

Before Xiaotian's game, Xiaoye and her opponent will start the first battle of the afternoon at this arena. He believes that some things need to be confirmed through this game.

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

small theater:

Luke: (laughing sinisterly) Hee hee, let me pretend to leave but secretly take a look at this ungrateful bastard's reaction. Are you crying after being scolded by me? How relieved!

Xiaoye: (Takes palms) (Regrets) If I had known this would happen, I would have bought a voice recorder first!

Luke: ...your uncle's.
