More than half an hour later.

"Huh..." Yang Yan took a deep breath: "I didn't expect Mr. Tomioka's home to be so far away. It's really hard to find. Don't you think so, Batachi?"

"Mm..." Batachi nodded.

At first, Yang Yan thought it would only take half an hour to get there, but when he got off the bus, he found that Tomioka's home was about five miles away from the station. This is not the key point. The key point is that his home is built in a forest, which is very troublesome to find.

...

"Finally arrived." Yang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked quickly towards the two-story wooden building in front of him.

"Dong Dong Dong."

"Mr. Tomioka, are you home? I am Oki Yang Yan who contacted you before."

A slow sound of footsteps came from behind the door: "Wait a minute, I'll be down soon."

After waiting for a while, the door finally opened.

"Hello, Trainer Oak. Come in and sit down."

Yang Yan could tell from the phone that Mr. Tomioka was an older man, but when he actually saw him, he was still a little surprised because the old man looked haggard, listless, hunched over, and weak, and he really looked like he was dying.

Yang Yan walked forward quickly and held Tomioka's arm: "Grandpa Tomioka, let me help you."

Tomioka looked at Yang Yan's hand holding him, and then at Yang Yan's gentle expression. For a moment, he seemed to recall something, smiled, and said nothing. He just let Yang Yan support him and slowly walked towards the living room.

"Grandpa Tomioka, please go slowly."

Yang Yan carefully helped Tomioka sit on the sofa.

"Da Mu..."

Yang Yan waved his hand: "Grandpa Tomioka, you should call me Yang Yan."

"Okay," Tomioka said slowly in a muddy voice: "Yang Yan, to be honest, I am very happy that you can take on my commission. After all, I can't afford much reward."

Yang Yan shook his head: "It's not a difficult thing, why do I need so much reward? How much money you get for how much work you do, this is the attitude to treat every commission."

"Haha, I didn't expect that you, a child at such a young age, have such insight," Tomioka said with a smile: "It's rare."

"You are flattering." Yang Yan scratched his head: "Let's get back to business."

"Okay, then Grandpa, I will tell you in detail, it's like this..."

After about twenty minutes, Yang Yan almost understood the details of this commission.

The general content is that Tomioka can always hear strange noises coming from outside at night, but whenever he goes out to look for it, he can't find anything.

At first, he thought that there might be a ghost-type Pokémon teasing him, so he wanted to find a trainer to drive the Pokémon away.

The task he entrusted was like this at the beginning, but after the trainer came, he stayed for a long time and did not find any shadow of ghost-type Pokémon around.

Tomioka did not care at first, thinking that the Pokémon might have left, so he paid the reward and let the person leave.

Who knew that the next night, Tomioka heard the sound again. In desperation, he could only send out another commission, but five trainers came and went, and no one found the Pokémon.

Gradually, this matter spread among the trainers, saying that Tomioka was just teasing people, and the reward was not high, so no one accepted his commission anymore.

Until Yang Yan accepted the task.

After listening, Yang Yan pondered for a while. This task is very simple to say, and it is indeed very difficult to say. After all, many people have come before, but still failed to solve the problem.

"Yang Yan, you don't want to leave after listening to grandpa, do you?" Tomioka opened his cloudy eyes and asked in a low voice.

Yang Yan looked at Tomioka's expression at this time, and he felt a little distressed in his heart.

"Grandpa Tomioka, I want to ask, where is your child? Why don't you ask your child to come and solve this matter?"

"Child?" Tomioka shook his head slowly: "My child is gone..."

"How could this be?" Yang Yan opened his eyes wide.

Tomioka's eyes were full of memories and sadness: "I remember it was a bright morning. Xiaofei told me that day that he was going to explore a ruin. He said that he would tell me about his adventure in the ruins after he came back, and asked me to wait for him at home."

"So, I waited, waited, and waited..."

"But in the end, what I waited for was a notice of Xiaofei's death! This was written to me by one of his companions after confirming that Xiaofei was killed, and he also said that because the ruins collapsed, no one knew what happened below.What happened? None of the people who went down came back, and even Xiaofei's body..."

As he spoke, Tomioka's tears could not stop flowing out.

Yang Yan walked forward and gently stroked Tomioka's thin back.

"Sorry, Grandpa Tomioka, I didn't know..."

Tomioka wiped his tears and calmed down for a while: "It's okay, so many years have passed, I have already thought it through."

Yang Yan looked at Tomioka's lonely back, his heart ached, and he couldn't help saying: "How about this, I will come to accompany you for a while every day in the future, Grandpa Tomioka, do you think it's okay?"

Tomioka was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned his head, and he saw Yang Yan's sincere and warm smile. Once again, his eyes were wet, but this time, it was no longer sadness, but tears of joy.

"Good boy, you can come to see grandpa, grandpa is really happy. "

"It's just..."

Yang Yan knew what Tomioka was going to say, but he really couldn't bear it. Such a lonely old man had to leave alone in his last time in this world.

"Grandpa Tomioka, don't worry, I go to school at the nearby Forest Ranger College, not far from here, so even if I come here every day, it won't cause any trouble."

"That's good, that's good, Yang Yan, you are such a kind and good child!" Tomioka patted Yang Yan's hand, his face full of happiness.

"Let's do this, Grandpa. I see it's getting dark soon. I'd better go around and take a look. I'll help you solve the problem first. What do you think?"

Anyway, Yang Yan came here to do a mission, so he still wanted to finish the mission first.

"Okay," Tomioka smiled: "Then Yang Yan, be careful. If you find that Pokémon, just try to drive it away."

"Okay, Grandpa, don't worry. "

……

Yang Yan walked around Tomioka's house several times, and asked Butterfree to use ultrasound to test many places. But he didn't see any ghost Pokémon, not even a living creature.

"Forget it, let's wait and see. Grandpa Tomioka just said that most of the time there will be movement in the middle of the night. Maybe only then can we find some traces. "

He said loudly to Butterfree who was still searching in the sky: "Butterfree, come down and eat something. We are still busy at night."
