I'm collecting in the Pokémon world

"Ahhh why... why did this thief have to steal something else, Squirtle..." Xiao Mao was a little mad. He had already decided to choose Squirtle...

There were five people present besides him, so which one of them stole his Squirtle?

"Because we need to cooperate with Miss Junsha's investigation, the other prepared elves will not be able to meet with everyone for the time being."

Professor Oak pulled out a few small red devices from a cart. "This is the latest Pokémon Pokedex. By scanning it, you can read information about wild Pokémon. It also serves as proof of your trainer status."

As he spoke, he distributed several illustrated books to everyone.

When he came to Satoshi, Professor Oak smiled and handed him a pokedex.

"Professor Oak, this..." Xiaozhi was a little confused. He shouldn't have the qualifications.

"Take it, I made it myself anyway. But I can only help you this much. The rest is up to you~" The old man said quietly, and winked at Xiaozhi at the end.

"Hmm..." Xiaozhi did not refuse, because this Pokédex itself is actually much more valuable than Pokémon and props.

With it, you can enjoy the treatment of a registered trainer in the league and avoid many unfair treatments...

It was agreed that the initial partners would be officially distributed three days later, and everyone said goodbye.

When Xiaozhi was about to leave, he was stopped by Professor Oak.

"Doctor, you're looking for me?"

"Come, help me distribute these berries to the Pokémon in the manor, and these cans of Moo Moo Milk..."

"it is good."

In the past few years, Professor Oak has often arranged for Satoshi to do some work in the manor.

However, although it is called work, most of them are some easy chores. After completing them, Xiaozhi will also be given some tree fruits, fresh milk, etc., which is a disguised form of help.

For this sensible child, Da Mu always gives extra care, just like the illegal illustrated book.

As for the reason, I'm afraid only he knows it...

"How about this, does the starter Pokémon need my help?"

An old man and a young boy were busy with their work, and Professor Oak asked nonchalantly.

"No need, maybe I will capture my own initial partner earlier than Xiaomao~" Xiaozhi showed a bright smile

Da Mu looked at his confident expression and nodded slightly: "Really? That's good..."

After politely declining Professor Oak's invitation to have instant noodles for lunch, Xiaozhi left the research institute holding a bottle of milk.

Hanako doesn't go home for lunch. Usually, Xiaozhi just takes care of it on his own, but today he plans to complete his main task first.

After putting the milk into the system backpack, Xiaozhi headed towards the back mountain.

After he walked away, Shuhou Ayumi came out with her chin pinched: "Hmm... Aunt Hanako is right... Hehe, I caught you~"

Then he tiptoed along.

Walking in the mountains in the afternoon, the gurgling water and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers made Xiaozhi feel relaxed. Before coming to this world, he had been content with mediocrity, but after coming here, everything was what he pursued.

"I don't know what happened to her..."

This is a place Xiaozhi often comes to. At this moment, he is stroking the texture on the tree trunk, and vaguely sees a few childish words: Xiaozhi, Dai Siki dayo~ I like Xiaozhi so much...

Time goes back to the afternoon four years ago.

Professor Oak held a Pokémon summer camp as usual.

Here, Xiaozhi also met his official partner Serena, a girl with sapphire eyes and long, smooth light brown hair.

Since Serena was forced to attend, she seemed out of place.

It wasn't long before he found himself lost in the woods.

Serena, who was already timid and cowardly, was frightened by the sudden appearance of the mosquito coil tadpole and fell to the ground, breaking her knee.

Xiaozhi, who had been paying attention to her, naturally did not miss the opportunity to save the beauty...

"Are you... okay? My name is Xiaozhi, how about you?"

A half-crying voice sounded: "I, I am Serena... My foot is injured..." Until now, Xiaozhi still remembers that cowardly expression, tears streaming down her face.

"It's okay... Come, let me see~"

Showing her a bright healing smile, Xiaozhi took out a handkerchief and slowly wrapped it around her white knee: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon~"

"Yeah!" As if infected by him, Serena's mood also stabilized.

Xiaozhi was very careful, but seemed to be too nervous, and his hands were shaking slightly.

Inevitably, his fingers touched the white and tender thighs, and the subtle and soft touch made his heart beat faster.

My eyes unconsciously fell on the pure white triangle area under the skirt.

The sun shone through the shade of the trees, casting spots of light. A quiet and charming atmosphere gradually lingered between the two of them. Unconsciously, a blush crept onto the girl's face.

"Huh...it's finally done~"

"Thank...thank you, Xiaozhi~"

"Stand up and try it." Xiaozhi smiled and stretched out his hand to her: "Come~"

Hesitantly, Serena placed her hand in Xiaozhi's, and then a force came and she stood up again.

However, due to inertia, Serena's forward movement did not stop, and she crashed directly into Xiaozhi's arms...

"Hmm..." The tender voice made Xiaozhi unconsciously put his arms around her arms and waist.

Her sapphire eyes flickered frequently between their faces, and then she realized that this didn't seem good, so she naturally took a step back, her face slightly hot, and looked at Xiaozhi steadily.

"Look~ It's okay, you have to learn to be strong~" Xiaozhi smiled brightly, but did not let go of the delicate little hand in his hand.

"Let's go, everyone is getting anxious~" As he said that, he pulled her towards the camp.

"Okay..." As they followed closely, Serena felt as if something had been left in her heart...

After that, Serena and Xiaozhi became familiar with each other. The two of them participated in a series of summer camp activities together, such as setting up tents together, cooking together, picking fruits together, and playing orienteering together. They even slept in the same tent because there were not enough tents...

Thinking of this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly. After all, some things were too early. The scene of Serena's pretty face flushed red appeared in his mind...

However, separation is always hard to bear. The day before leaving, Serena took Xiaozhi back to the tree where they met and carved the line of words on the tree.

"Xiaozhi, why do you write like this?"

"Oh, in our hometown, Daisiki Dayo means take care of yourself."

"Okay, then I'll write it~!" The girl smiled sweetly and then began to carve seriously.

After she finished the last stroke, sweating profusely, Xiaozhi chuckled: "Actually, that means I really like it~"

"Ah?!" Serena's face changed and turned red in an instant.

"Well, then it's too late for me to change it." His tone was quite reckless, and there seemed to be a hint of relief and joy after the suppressed shyness was torn away: "That's it~!"

Then Serena boarded the bus to the airport, and Xiaozhi also asked Xiaomao's sister Nanami for an entry-level coordination trainer book and gave it to her.

And Serena did not return the handkerchief used for bandaging to Xiaozhi.

Since then, both of them have left their mark on each other...

Chapter 8 I captured...Pikachu!

Just as he was feeling nostalgic, a hand suddenly patted Xiaozhi's shoulder: "Hey! What are you doing here?"

The sudden action startled Xiaozhi, but he knew who it was from the voice, and his face darkened: "Ayumi...you're following me again?!"

The reason why I say again is because this is not the first time Ayumi has done this...

But this girl seems to be the type who can always find Xiaozhi's location accurately.

"Hehe~ Xiaozhi brother, you don't want Aunt Hanako to be sad, right?" Ayumi stuck out her tongue: "If you don't want to be exposed, you must take me with you~!"

Since Hanako and Tingzi are close friends, Ayumi understands Hanako's decision to forbid Satoshi from taking any risks, and even volunteers to help her exercise her supervisory authority...

"..." Xiaozhi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Let's go, don't run around or you might get stung by a giant hornet!"

"Don't worry, I'm very good~!" Ayumi smiled brightly, pulled Xiaozhi up and ran forward: "Let's go~!"

The two men went deeper into the jungle cautiously.

We saw many common Pokémon along the way, such as Rattata, Grunt, Pidgeot, Creeper, and Eggplant, etc.

Passing through a dense bush, Xiaozhi whispered, "It's almost there..."

The next moment, the view opened up to a bright plain.

"This Pokémon is... Dinotarsaur?!" Ayumi was stunned. Dinotarsaur is a very rare Pokémon and most of them live in protected areas. She had only seen it in books.

Xiaozhi smiled slightly and took out the illustrated book given by Oak: "Dinotarsaur, a parent-child Pokémon, will protect its children in its belly pouch. It will mercilessly strike down anyone who harms its children."

"Pika!" At this time, a loud cry sounded, and a bright yellow lightning from the group of Marcus dragons jumped in front of Xiaozhi in the blink of an eye, and then skillfully threw itself into his arms.

"Hahaha, it's so itchy, Pikachu, let me go~!" Xiaozhi took the coquettish electric mouse away from his arms and gently rubbed its head.

That’s right, this is the Pikachu he risked his life to protect a few years ago, and also the original partner who accompanied him for twenty-five years in the original work, Pikachu.

"It's Pikachu, so cute! I want to hug it too~" Ayumi showed an envious look and reached out to hug Pikachu.

"Ah! Danger!"

Xiaozhi hurriedly reminded him, but Ayumi had already caught Pikachu's tail...

next moment...

"Pikachu..." Lightning flashed, electricity surged, and the two of them turned into charcoal on the spot...

"Numb... numb..."

It took a long time for the two to recover. They found an orange fruit for Pikachu, and Xiaozhi also told Ayumi about his experience.

"No wonder it likes you so much..." Ayumi didn't expect that Xiaozhi almost died for Pikachu. For a moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiaozhi had a bit of inexplicable meaning.

"Pikachu, do you want to come with me?" Xiaozhi took out the old and mottled Poké Ball from his pocket.

"Pika?" Pikachu tilted his ears.

"Well... become my partner and family, and then we'll go see the world together."

"Pikachu..." Pikachu shook his head.

Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, and his bright eyes quickly dimmed: "Is it not possible..."

"It seems like it's saying don't stay inside the ball?" Ayumi said hesitantly.

The little mouse nodded repeatedly: "Pika!"

"Puff..." Xiaozhi laughed, and the gloom in his eyes was swept away: "Just come in for a while, this is your place from now on~"

As he said this, he patted his shoulder.

"Pika~!" Upon hearing this, Pikachu pressed his little paw on the Poké Ball, then turned into a red light and was sucked in.

"Beep, beep..." The Poké Ball swayed slowly on the ground, and Xiaozhi's mood fluctuated with it.

"Den!"

A special sound effect sounded, and the dreamlike feeling of unreality gradually transformed into the joy and reality of having achieved what I wanted...

Xiaozhi picked up the Poké Ball, and as if his DNA was triggered, he spun three times on the spot and raised his index finger to the sky. "I captured... Pikachu!!!"

"It's just a conquest, why make such a big deal out of it..." Ayumi curled her lips, her tone a little sour.

Ash smiled and ignored her: "Hey hey.. come out Pikachu!"

"Pika!" As soon as the little mouse came out, it climbed onto Xiaozhi's shoulder in a flash. Its skillful movements seemed as if it had been practiced for two and a half years.

"Please give me your guidance in the future, Pikachu~"

"Pika, Pikachu!"

After saying goodbye to the mother and child of the marsupial dragon, the two headed towards the direction of Pallet Town.

On the way, Xiaozhi also picked some fruits.

The system's built-in backpack has a capacity of 10 cubic meters. When Ayumi wasn't paying attention, Xiaozhi put some in it, at least to meet Pikachu's food needs in the near future.

But God didn't seem to want them to go back smoothly...

"Hurry up, catch up! If we let it get away, we will all be punished!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar, and soon, a team of soldiers in black appeared in their sight.
