The peaceful days did not last long. The strong man arrived again, but behind him were two strange men.

There was a man with a cold look on his face. He was dressed in black, but slightly shabby. He had a Poke Ball tied around his waist. He seemed to be a trainer.

As soon as the other man entered the door, he began to look around with a greedy look on his face, as if he was very interested in the things inside.

The woman who was coaxing Yamanaka Jiro to sleep in the bedroom suddenly changed her face when she heard the noise outside. Yamanaka Jiro also heard some noise and turned over slightly, but she had no intention of waking up.

Riolu on the side had a chill in his eyes and his whole body became tense.

The woman closed the door gently, and Riolu followed the woman out. Intentionally or unintentionally, Riolu's small body blocked the woman's way.

"It's you again." The strong man glanced at Riolu with disgust, and then tilted his head towards the greedy man on the side. The greedy man understood instantly.

When he saw Riolu, the indifferent man with the Poke Ball tied around his waist couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face.

The woman noticed something was wrong with the expressions of the three strong men, and her heart tightened again.

"What do you want to do?" The woman suppressed the fear in her heart and thought that Yamanaka Jiro was still inside, so she just whispered.

When the strong man heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but that smile looked particularly scary.

"Let's make a deal." The strong man pointed to Riolu on the ground. "How about you give it to me and I won't bother you again?"

Woof?

Riolu looked at the strong man pointing his finger in astonishment, and then looked at the woman.

The woman obviously didn't expect that the strong man would want Xiaolan.

The woman remained silent for a moment, but the two men beside her recognized Riolu.

Although they were only listening to the description of the strong man and were not sure at the time, when the two of them saw it with their own eyes, they were sure that their previous guesses were correct.

This elf is a very rare elf. If you sell it on the market, you can make a lot of money.

So the two agreed to help the strong man and pay the strong man a sum of money. However, the two of them only needed Riolu, an elf.

The woman looked at the strong man, and then at Xiao Lan, who was still blocking her in front of her, vaguely protecting her, with a look of hesitation on her face.

Riolu didn't know why, but when he saw the woman showing such an expression, he suddenly felt suffocated.

"Are you telling the truth?" the woman hesitated for a while before making up her mind and asked.

"Ha, I have money, why do I come to you?"

The two men obviously did not expect it to go so smoothly, but the joy in their eyes could not be concealed.

"...I promise you." As if she had exhausted all her strength, the woman agreed in a voice that could almost only be heard by herself.

However, the three strong men recognized it from the woman's mouth shape and were instantly overjoyed.

The woman turned around and took out a red and white Poké Ball from Yamanaka Jiro's inner room - it was Riolu's Poké Ball.

It is also the only Poké Ball in their home.

There are also cartoon heads of the three members of the family carefully drawn by Jiro Yamanaka on the Poké Ball. Although childish, Jiro Yamanaka drew them with great care.

At this time, the woman didn't dare to look at the elf ball anymore, and Xiao Lan, who had been unresponsive.

"Xiaolan... this is delicious, eat it quickly..." Yamanaka Jiro whispered in his sleep while gently turning over.

The woman's heart suddenly felt cramped.

After a year of getting along, both Yamanaka Jiro and the woman have already regarded Xiaolan as a relative.

"Hurry up, what are you doing!" the strong man urged loudly and impatiently.

The woman quickly closed the door, held the elf ball in her hand and hesitated for a while, then closed her eyes tightly and resolutely handed the elf ball to the strong man.

"Hmph, this is how you know the truth." The strong man roughly grabbed the elf ball, glanced at the graffiti on it, and scoffed with contempt.

"And after that?"

Zhang You asked with some discomfort when he saw Takeuchi stopped talking.

"That's all it tells me." Takeuchi put the cigarette that had burned to the end in his hand to his mouth and took a deep breath. Instantly, the red color of the burning part became extremely bright.

"Maybe even it itself doesn't know what happened next."

"Then why is it willing to tell you this?"

"Because it was me who bought Riolu back from the businessman." Takeuchi's eyes flickered. "After that, Riolu has been in the company and became what you see now."

Putting out the cigarette, Takeuchi put his hands in his pockets and stared out the window.

"You...haven't you ever taken it back?"

As if he was asked about a part he didn't want to say, Takeuchi didn't answer for a while, and only the smell of cigarettes lingered around.

The chirping of birds outside the window and the afterglow of the sun are like uninvited guests, sneaking into the room quietly, seeming to soothe the scars in people's hearts.

But at this time, in Zhang You's eyes, all these were particularly dazzling and harsh.

"I went there once. The child was working on a construction site. He was buried in an accident. The woman went crazy and won't live long."

Zhang You suddenly felt a sense of despair in his heart.

It's as if these are all my own personal experiences.

"What's that man's name?"

"I don't know, even Riolu doesn't know, and I have no way of knowing." Takeuchi stood up and adjusted his clothes. "However, if you plan to do anything in the future, I can help you. Now,

Not yet.”

When he saw Takeuchi, Zhang You was about to leave, but Zhang You didn't stop him, but fell into deep thought.

Yes, I have no one to rely on in this world. The only one I can rely on now is the Frozen Bird Company. But for a big company, there is no need to go to great lengths to find enemies for a student.

Zhang You took a deep breath as if he wanted to spit out the suppressed emotions in his heart.

When people outside saw Takeuchi, they came out so quickly and immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Yiyou, are you okay?" Gu Ming was the first to ask with concern.

Unexpectedly, Takeuchi suddenly straightened his face, full of regret, and sighed deeply.

Everyone's hearts were immediately in knots, and Xiuling even entered the room anxiously.

"Yiyou...what happened to him?" Feng Li lowered his voice, as if he was worried that Xiuling and Zhang You would hear.

"It's a pity that he can't die, and he will continue to torment me." Takeuchi said in a high-pitched voice with "regret", and there seemed to be some ulterior secret in his words.

The word "tossing", coming out of Toki Takeuchi's mouth, always seems to have a special meaning...

In the room, Xiuling looked at Zhang You with worry.

Zhang You was half sitting on the bed, looking out the window at the towering buildings and the green mountains not far away.

Being abandoned by your loved ones, you must have given up on humanity...
