Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

"Woo~ so satisfied, so satisfied~~

" "Really, I've been in the Baidai Forest for so many days, this is the best meal I've eaten in the past few days!"

After the meal, Xiaoguang and Yami were chatting excitedly with the old man, although there were also factors in it that wanted to help each other alleviate loneliness, but the two of them should be more grateful to the old man for entertaining him and eating such delicious things.

"Ash, what do you think... Is there a problem?"

On the other side, some distance away from Xiaoguang and Yami, Xiao Gang asked Xiao Zhi in such a deep voice.

Although Xiao Gang also thought that this old grandmother was the one who managed this foreign mansion at first, and there were no other problems, but when he saw and tasted the delicious food on the table, the doubts in his heart began to rise slowly.

Hikari and Bud are obviously inexperienced, and after receiving the old man's favor, they have completely let down their guard, and compared to them, Ash seems to be much more reliable.

"I don't know.

Ash shook his head.

"Although I was skeptical at first that all this we saw was a prank of ghost-type Pokémon... But I've been looking at it for so long, and I haven't seen any clues... But despite this, what we're going through now is still a bit weird, so it's better to be careful. "

“... That's all there is to it.

Xiao Gang sighed, and accepted Ash's proposal.

However, accepting and accepting, Xiao Gang's heart still feels a trace of worry, and he always feels that something big is about to happen.

"Then, I'll go back to my room and rest first, and then call me if there's anything to do.

Ash whispered this, and got up and walked towards the room on the second floor.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take another look at the old man who had forgotten his name, and after seeing that she was still communicating with Xiaoguang and Meimi with a kind face, Ash didn't continue to pay attention here.

......

Came to the second floor and walked to his door, but Ash didn't open the door first, he returned to the position of the staircase again, observed the situation below, and was slightly relieved to see that no one noticed him.

"Pika?" (What are you doing sneaky?)

Pikachu was a little puzzled by Ash's actions, although it had heard the conversation between Ash and Gang before, but despite this, Pikachu didn't feel anything strange, and it was really difficult for Pikachu to get on guard in this situation.

"Shhhhhhhhhh

"You're staring down here, I'm going to go around a few rooms on the second floor.

......Seeing

that Pikachu's eyes were becoming more and more wrong, Ash patted its head with some indignation and said,

"What do you want?! I'm just going to investigate! It's a bit suspicious for an old man with inconvenient eyes and memory to live alone in such a large mansion... And don't you notice that she doesn't even make a sound when she's cooking?"

"???"

Pikachu had three huge question marks on his head.

After all, in addition to Hikari and Bud Rice, Pikachu is also one of the members who is immersed in dry rice, and it seems more important than anything else to be able to eat such a satisfying meal.

"Ugh—"

Ash sighed in hatred as he looked at Pikachu, and then pulled a bag of ketchup out of his pocket.

"Anyway, it's your reward, the benefits have been given to you, you're just here to take a good look, understand?"

"Pikapi!Pika!" (guaranteed!guaranteed to complete the mission!) Pikachu

replied with a sparkling look in his eyes, sipping ketchup.

It's so easy to solve......

Ash thought wordlessly, and then left Pikachu at the entrance of the stairs, while he turned around and left alone.

It's just that Xiao Zhi didn't notice when he turned around, and the old man below suddenly glanced up at the second floor at some point, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was no longer kind for a moment, but full of banter and ridicule, as if waiting for something good to happen.

It's just that this kind of meaningful expression was well restrained by her in the next second, and when she lowered her head, she was still as amiable as Xiaoguang and Yami saw for the first time.

If the two of them had noticed the change in the old man's expression in just a second, they would not have been able to continue talking to her like they were now.

In a place that no one could see, a black shadow moved rapidly underground through the shadow formed between the chandelier and the wall, and in an instant it merged into this Western-style mansion that I don't know how long it was.

.......

Although the Western-style building has only two floors, it is divided into four areas from left to right, two large spaces and two smaller spaces, which are dislocated from large to small, making the whole building appear very layered.

The room Ash had chosen was on the far left side of the mansion, so he started from his room and searched all the way to the right.

Xiaoguang naturally doesn't need to look at the room where they live, after all, the other party won't give them the room in question, right?"

"Still not ....."

After simply searching the leftmost room, Xiao Zhi didn't find anything special, the layout of each room was not much different, but as he was puzzled at the beginning, each room from the door to the head of the bed, there was not even a speck of dust.

It's supposed to be a year-old hotel, but everything inside is as brand new as ever.

It's a bit too incredible from any point of view.

The spotless inn, the old man with bad eyes who forgot everything, and the sumptuous meal ...... that appeared inexplicably

If it's a ghost-based Pokémon hallucination, then this hallucination is too real, but if it's not an illusion, how can all this be explained?

Ash carefully avoided Pikachu and their line of sight passed through the open platform, starting from the left side of the house and groping their way towards the right side of the house.

"Ah~Oh yes~ There's something I forgot to tell you.

When Xiao Zhi bypassed everyone's field of vision and came to the right side of the house, the old man who was still sitting and chatting with Xiao Guang and them suddenly stood up, she beckoned Xiao Gang and called Xiao Gang to her side.

She smiled, so that no one could see any flaws.

She stretched out her hand, one hand on Xiaoguang's shoulder, and the other hand on Yami's shoulder.

Jili Dan was drowsy, his vision had blurred, and his body was shaking, and Pikachu next to the stairs on the second floor had ketchup on his mouth, and his body was leaning against the wall, and he had fallen asleep at some point.

"That, that... What's wrong?"

Xiaoguang subconsciously wanted to take a step back, I don't know why, although the old man's smile was still kind and kind, Xiaoguang subconsciously felt fear.

It's just that after Xiaoguang struggled for a while, she unexpectedly found that she couldn't break free.

"Don't be in such a hurry, we... There's a lot more to be said ... It could go on and on... Don't rush to go... Just stay here......"

The wrinkles on the old man's face were squeezed together, and the eyebrows seemed to be beating with joyful notes, and the voice of charity became hoarse at this moment, and the cold wind blew from behind everyone, making people shiver subconsciously.

"Remember... Close your eyes, don't look behind you, then just sit down and let's continue talking. "

.......
