Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

Flights from Kanahuang City in the Kanto region to the suburbs near Futaba Town in the Sinnoh region are running in an orderly manner.

Perhaps it's because it's a working day, and less than half of the people are in the huge cabin.

A teenager named Ash was sitting by the window, his head hanging as if he was sleeping.

A creature resembling a yellow rat was also lying on the boy's shoulder, sleeping with him.

"Hmm... Huh?"

the corners of the

boy's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he had slept enough, and opened his eyes as if he realized something.

And the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was not a complaint or satisfaction with his sleep, but-

"Here, where?"

He frowned, unaware of where he was, after all, he remembered that the Pokémon Masters Challenge was still going on at the last moment.

But now he is not in a place where he competes, but in an unknown place.

Although it was easy to tell from the surroundings that he was in the plane, he had great doubts about why he was here.

"Pikachu?"

Ash felt the movement coming from his shoulder, and turned his head slightly, only to see his old partner Pikachu lying on his shoulder sleeping peacefully, as if he was already very tired.

Seeing this, Ash hurriedly kept quiet, but the next second he seemed to sense something and began to cough gently.

The voice?he

thought with a frown.

His voice didn't sound heavy, but there was a sense of youth, with such doubts, he quickly looked out the window, and by the cover of clouds, he finally saw his current appearance.

This is... I... No, this is the old me!

Dreaming? Or did it go back to the past?

, he tugged at his cheek in disbelief,

and the pain almost made him scream.

However, after spotting Pikachu in the corner of his eye, he quickly regained his composure.

It was clear that this was not a dream, and the constant pain on his face told him that the place he was in now was reality, that is, he had traveled back in time.

In the Pokémon world, traveling through time and space is not common, but it is not unusual for Ash.

After all, from the beginning of his trip to the time of the Pokémon Masters Challenge, Zero Zero had crossed dozens of times, even more than he had flown on.

It's just that unlike the previous crossings, this time there were no hints or incidents.

He didn't know if he had any assignments, or if he would return to that point in time to complete the Pokémon Masters Challenge, which was still missing.

"Whew~"

Ash took off his hat and scratched his hair a little irritably, his expression when he sighed maturely didn't match his immature appearance now.

"I'm really unwilling......"

he muttered in a low voice, looking at the scenery outside the window, and his thoughts were confused for a while.

Obviously, he is only one step away from becoming a Pokémon Master, and as long as he defeats Dandi again, he will succeed.

But why did he cross at this time, and what was the meaning of this crossing?

He couldn't understand it.

This kind of headless crossing is very puzzling to him, in Ash's opinion, even if he wants to cross, he must at least give a reason, right

? Just like he did at the beginning, who are he going to help, or what event is he going to experience as a witness or participant?

Even if he's a born optimist, he can't do it... The feeling of being just one step away from his dream and losing it, he really didn't want to experience.

"Boom~~" "

Huh?"

At this moment, Ash seemed to hear something coming from his backpack on the seat next to him, and with some doubts, he lifted the backpack.

It's a bit heavy.

He thought so.

With a little curiosity and apprehension, Ash slowly unzipped the backpack, and then a strip that looked like an arm... The tail poked out of it.

This subordinate really startled Ash, and the hand holding the backpack unconsciously let go.

The backpack fell to the ground, and a scream came from within.

"O~ki?!"

"Huh?"

A familiar voice, I must have heard it somewhere.

Ash first thought about the sound, but then he realized what that strange tail was.

"Long, long-tailed monster hand?!" Ash

shouted out the name of the Pokémon hidden in his backpack in a voice of disbelief.

"O~ki?"

After hearing Ash's shout, the long-tailed monster hand slipped out of his backpack.

It had a smile on its face that never seemed to sink into a low one.

Even after he was discovered, the Longtail Monster Hand still didn't feel embarrassed or apologized.

Under Ash's stunned-looking gaze, it just grinned and jumped onto Ash's empty shoulder on the other side, and then stretched out its palm-like tail to snatch Ash's hat and put it on his head.

"Pi, Pika?"

This movement also woke Pikachu up as a matter of course, and Pikachu opened his eyes and looked at Ash, then turned his head to see the long-tailed monster hand grinning at himself, and the only remaining sleepiness in his mind was instantly cleared.

"Pi~Ka~"

Pikachu was so shocked that it fell off Ash's shoulder, and after falling to the ground, it rubbed its ass while looking at the long-tailed monster hand with the same eyes as Ash, as if to ask why it was here.

"O~kI!" The

long-tailed monster jumped on Ash's head and lay on his stomach in the next second, continuing to grimace at Pikachu, looking triumphant, like a child who saw his prank succeed.

......

The long-tailed monster hand, so this is the ......

The Longtail Hand is interacting with Pikachu "friendly", but Ash's mind has drifted to the continent below the window.

Sinnoh, he will never forget what happened in this area.

This is the first time he has fully matured in Pokémon Battle.

This is the first time he has completely transformed bonds into strength.

This is the first time he has fielded a veteran player in an official league tournament.

This is the first time he has won the Final Four.

This is the area he is closest to victory for the first time.

This is ......

For the first time in the league, he was truly unwillingly unwilling.

And now that he has future experiences and memories, many of the memories of the Sinnoh region are already a little blurry, but that's okay... This is the perfect way to experience the original feeling with a new mood.

Anyway, did I go to the Sinnoh region by plane? How do I always remember that I came by boat?

Ash, who was sitting in the seat,

fell into a new puzzle.

.......
