Elf: Release? Not possible.

"Let's go! Pikachu is leaving!"

The two of them brought Pikachu into the tent. Fortunately, they were not soaked for long, otherwise, there would be no place to start a fire and dry themselves in the tent.

"Well! Here you go!!" When they got into the tent, Xiaozhi took out two towels, gave one to Pikachu and the other to the girl.

"Thank you. I'm sorry about what happened just now!" The girl was stunned when she saw the towel in front of her. She hesitated for a while and took it. Thinking of what happened just now, she spoke a little embarrassedly.

PS: I don’t plan to write about levels or something like that. If you are not very familiar with the classification of Pokémon, like the quasi-gods, level one gods, and level two gods mentioned above, I can open a chapter to mark them out.

As for the trainer levels, I think the anime has very standard levels, including champions, the Elite Four, gym trainers, and ordinary trainers, and that's basically it.

But everyone just needs to know it by their own. If it's like in Naruto, with the mention of jonin and genin, and in the end the jonin can't beat the genin, it would be meaningless. The protagonist himself is the representative of fighting above his level and the master of reverse attributes.

There is no point in doing these things. In the end, it will be like Dragon Ball, where they wrote the battle power setting themselves, but Bird himself messed up the drawing. Bird himself did not expect that the Saiyans, as the protagonists, are a race that subverts the battle power.

Chapter 23 Special Training

"Don't take it to heart." Xiaozhi took Pikachu's towel and wiped its body while responding.

"Um, my name is Xiaoxia, from Hualan City. What's your name?"

As expected! Xiaozhi thought to himself.

In fact, I had recognized him a long time ago, but the plot of my departure was different from the original. I thought I would never meet him again, but I didn’t expect that the process changed, but the result remained the same. It seems that the two of them are really destined to meet.

"Ash, from Pallet Town, this is Pikachu!" Ash transformed and helped Pikachu wipe its body. Pikachu was also lying in the tent with a look of enjoyment on its face. Ash also introduced it as well.

"Aren't you going to take Pikachu back into the Poké Ball?"

Xiaoxia looked a little strange. It would be much easier to put Pikachu into the Poké Ball than to wipe the rain water off Pikachu with so much effort.

"No... My Pikachu doesn't like being in the Poké Ball." After hearing what Misty said, Ash clearly felt Pikachu's body tremble, but he felt relieved after hearing his words.

"Is that so? That's really special." Misty had never encountered such a situation before and found it a little special, but she didn't say much. After all, this was Xiaozhi and Pikachu's own business.

After helping Pikachu dry, Xiaozhi wiped the rain off his own body. Seeing this, Xiaoxia once again regained her favor for him.

There were two towels, one was given to her, and then he and Pikachu used the same one, and he wiped Pikachu clean first, which was enough to show that the boy in front of him loved Pokémon very much.

It was completely dark, and the sound of rain could be clearly heard inside the tent. It was raining quite heavily.

Xiaozhi turned on a small desk lamp, then took out some Pokémon food from his backpack, put it in a bowl and gave it to Pikachu, and then continued to take out some emergency food.

They were all some simple dry food. In fact, he could cook, but the supplies were not that complete, and it was raining, so he brought some emergency dry food with him, but he didn't expect to use it on the first day.

"Here!" He handed some emergency biscuits to Xiaoxia.

Even though they were just a few biscuits, in this world, traveling trainers often encountered emergencies, coupled with high consumption, so many emergency reserve foods were specially researched. A small piece of these compressed biscuits was enough to fill an adult.

"Thank you!" Xiaoxia was a little touched when she saw the food in front of her. She thought to herself, it seems that she is lucky to have met a very considerate boy.

I completely forgot the straight man image I had given Xiaozhi during the argument just now.

In this world, life at night is relatively boring. If it doesn't rain, you can still train with the Pokémon, but you can't train in this kind of weather.

There wasn't much entertainment and the weather was bad, so Xiaozhi went to bed early.

Misty was also a little nervous at first. Even though she was saved by Satoshi and knew that Satoshi was a good person, she was still a little nervous about being alone with a boy and being in the same tent.

Huddled at the other side of the tent, he cautiously looked at Xiaozhi in the dim light. Pikachu curled up in his arms, breathing evenly as if he had fallen asleep.

Xiaoxia gradually calmed down. Looking at the face under the light, she was unconsciously lost in thought, her cheeks slightly flushed.

This thrilling day made Xiaoxia very tired and she fell asleep without realizing it.

The first day of Xiaozhi's journey passed just like this...

The next morning, Xiaozhi got up early. According to the time, it should be just after 5 o'clock in the morning. The rain had stopped, but it was not yet completely bright. However, Xiaozhi did not continue to sleep. He got enough sleep early.

He glanced at Misty who was still sleeping soundly and carefully unzipped the tent without disturbing her. Pikachu had sharp senses and woke up when Ash woke up.

After walking to the river to brush his teeth and wash his face, Xiaozhi released the Magikarp as well. There happened to be a river there, so the Magikarp could move around for a while.

At the same time, they prepared breakfast for Pikachu and Magikarp, so that they could fill their stomachs, and then walked upstream along the river and came to the jungle next to the campsite.

"Let's have some special training while it's still early!" Xiaozhi said while looking at Pikachu and Magikarp in the water.

"Pika!" Pikachu and Magikarp responded at the same time.

Then Xiaozhi found a wooden stake that was more than one meter long and weighed about ten pounds. He found a vine to tie the stake together and tied the other side to the Magikarp's tail.

Because Magikarp can't learn too many special moves, the only way to improve its strength is to improve its physical fitness. Letting it swim with weight can improve its physical fitness, tying it up can increase its power and strength, and perhaps it can learn how to collide.

"Magikarp, it may be a little tiring, but I will stay with you." After tying it up, Xiaozhi gently touched Magikarp's head and said.

Magikarp's round eyes became determined, and then Ash stood up and said to Pikachu.

"Pikachu, we are going to train Iron Tail next. The first thing we need to do is to improve the flexibility and strength of our tail. Today's goal is 10 kilometers. Use your tail as a spring to move."

According to the anime, Pikachu's tail and Iron Tail skills have been used in many different ways, so this skill is very important and you must hone it no matter how difficult it is.

"Pika!" Pikachu responded with full momentum, clenching his fists. Then he began training with the two Pokémon, jogging upstream along the river.

Pikachu used its tail as a spring to bounce forward step by step, while Magikarp swam upstream in the water, making the resistance of the wooden stake stronger.

Originally weighing only a dozen pounds, facing the upstream river water, it gained at least thirty or forty pounds. Xiaozhi followed them and did not slack off.

While Ash was training with Pikachu and Magikarp, Misty woke up in the camp, rubbed her eyes, and got up in a daze.

"morning!"

I greeted them in a daze, but no one responded. I opened my eyes and found that there was no one in the tent. I panicked and thought, could they have left?

But I soon saw that the backpack was still there, and at the same time I felt something slipping off my body. I took a look and found it was a blanket. I was a little touched by the warmth of the blanket.

In fact, she had her own sleeping bag, but she was too tired last night and fell asleep immediately and didn't have time to use it.

Chapter 24: Phoenix King

When I walked out, I found a note outside the tent saying that I was going for special training.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia thought to herself that this boy is quite attentive.

"In that case, let me prepare breakfast!"

Although today is only the second day we have known each other, it feels like we have known each other for a long time, and we divide the work and cooperate with each other when camping.

. . . .

"We are almost done with today's mission. Pikachu and Magikarp, keep up the good work!" Running more than ten or twenty kilometers every morning for three years was nothing to Xiaozhi.

But it is more difficult for Pikachu and Magikarp. Although Pokémon's physical strength is definitely greater than that of humans, one of them is carrying a weight and the other is completely using its tail to move forward, so they will naturally be more tired than Ash.

But Xiaozhi kept calculating the distance. It was pretty good for the first time. The two little guys were very perseverant and managed to hold on step by step.

“Pippi Pipi!!!”

Especially Pikachu. Magikarp hasn't reacted much in the water yet. Pikachu can no longer hear the "ka" at all, and can only hear the "pi" of its breath.

"We're here! Phew... stop!" After calculating the distance and reaching the finish line, Xiaozhi stopped and then signaled to the two little guys.

"Pica~~~"

Pikachu fell to the ground, and its tail, which was always stiff and erect, suddenly became limp. Magikarp also popped its head out, panting, but it looked so wise that it was hard to tell what expression it had.

"Thank you for your hard work. You performed very well today." Xiaozhi smiled when he saw this, walked to the river and helped Magikarp untie the vines and remove the weight. Magikarp swayed its body happily in the water.

The recovery ability of Pokémon is still stronger than that of humans. As long as they are not injured and just physically exhausted, they can recover quickly. After resting for a while, they returned with Pikachu and Magikarp.

It took about half an hour to walk back. It was still early when we got back, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

When I came back, I saw someone sitting on the rock in front of the tent with his chin supported by his hands, as if he was waiting for something.

"Good morning!" When Xiaoxia heard the voice, she also noticed it. Xiaozhi walked over and greeted Xiaoxia when he saw her looking at him.

"Good morning! Well... I wanted to make breakfast, but I'm not very good at cooking, so I found some fruits." When Xiaoxia saw Xiaozhi, she quickly stood up and said a little embarrassedly.

As a girl, she felt a little embarrassed that she couldn't cook. Xiaozhi paused slightly after hearing the voice and looked at some fruits placed on a stone not far away. There were not many, but they were enough to fill her stomach.

"Thank you, you can eat with me!" I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that this Xiaoxia seems a little different. Could it be that she has also been possessed by someone's soul?

In fact, it is not like that. Although Misty is sometimes willful, she has a straightforward personality. She looks fierce in the anime, but the main reason is that Satoshi in the anime is too straight-forward and often makes her angry.

Xiaoxia was looking for some simple blue oranges and sweet peaches. Sweet peaches have certain anti-toxic and detoxification effects, and are a good emergency choice if you are poisoned by a poison-type Pokémon in the wild.

Blue tangerine fruit is used to restore physical strength and also has a certain function of healing injuries, but the effect is not as good as potion.

"Come and eat!" Xiaozhi took two blue tangerine fruits, gave one to Pikachu and one to Magikarp, and then picked up the other one and gave it to Xiaoxia.

Soon the two and the Pokémon were full, and with the help of the blue orange fruit, Pikachu and Magikarp's condition also recovered a lot.

After eating, they prepared to continue their journey. Xiaozhi went into the tent to pack his things and found that two blankets had been folded, but he had not touched his backpack.

It can be seen that although Xiaoxia is usually careless, she is still very attentive to some details. She packed up the blanket and then packed up the tent as well.

At this moment, the sky was getting brighter and the sun was shining. The rain had just stopped not long ago, and the whole jungle was still filled with a moist atmosphere. The sunlight shone down, with the scent and warmth of green grass, and a rainbow was reflected in the sky.

"There's a rainbow! How could there be a rainbow at this time?" Xiaoxia couldn't help but speak as she looked at the sky.

Xiaozhi paused slightly when he heard the voice and subconsciously looked up at the sky. At this moment, a colorful light appeared at the end of the rainbow where the sun was rising.

"Ah! That's it!!! So beautiful!" Looking at the figure appearing in the air, Xiaoxia showed a shocked expression. This was a Pokémon she had never seen before.

Its whole body is wrapped in colorful light, feathers of various colors emit a sacred glow, and its wings are flapping, emitting bits of light.

Ye Xiaozhi looked at the figure in the air, a flash of surprise passed by him, then anticipation emerged in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice.

"Phoenix King!"

"Huh? Xiaozhi, what did you say?" Xiaoxia didn't hear it clearly and asked subconsciously.

"Nothing!" Xiaozhi shook his head slightly after hearing the voice.

Ho-Oh, the God of Regeneration, is a Pokémon that represents rebirth and rebirth, and is also a legendary Pokémon.

It was once a myth in the Chengdu area, but due to human greed, it abandoned humans and would only appear in front of upright trainers from then on.

It can give life to living things, has the mysterious power to bring the dead back to life, and is also a powerful legendary Pokémon.

Although it was ridiculed as a shiny Toucan in its previous life, a legendary Pokémon is still a legendary Pokémon. Even if you just look at it from a distance, the strong sense of oppression is not something that ordinary Pokémon can have.

Perhaps it sensed Xiaozhi's gaze, although it did not stop, Ho-Oh also glanced downwards.

call! ! !

A gust of air blew gently, the wings flapped, and a dot of light fell from the sky, emitting a faint colorful glow, just falling from the sky.

"Huh?" Xiaozhi subconsciously stretched out his hand when he saw this, and the light spots fell at the same time, landing gently in the palm of Xiaozhi's hand.

A seven-colored feather emitting colorful light gradually dissipated, as if it had turned into an ordinary feather, but this feather was still colorful even though it had no light.

PS: With the appearance of various mythical beasts, the god of life is clearly determined to be Xerneas, the god of the sun is Solgaleo, and the god of light is Necrozma. In fact, the anime no longer clearly defines the position of Ho-Oh, after all, the early settings are not mature, so the book on the Aquarius side defines it as the god of regeneration.

Chapter 25: Tokiwa City

Xiaozhi caught the feather in his hand and looked up into the sky. The figure of Ho-Oh had already disappeared into the distance. Misty next to him was also looking at the feather in Xiaozhi's hand in surprise.

"It's so beautiful! I didn't expect to see Pokémon I've never seen before." It seemed that apart from the broken bicycle, I was still very lucky.

Xiaozhi looked at the feather in his hand, then looked at the rainbow in the sky that was gradually getting smaller, and his eyes became determined.

"Yes! It's really lucky. I'm leaving now, what about you?" He put the feather away and asked Xiaoxia.

In the anime, they had an indissoluble bond because of bicycles, but for now, the bicycle incident seems to have passed, and I don’t know if Xiaoxia has other goals.

"Ah! I..." Xiaoxia was slightly stunned when she heard what Xiaozhi said.

Even though we had only known each other for a short time, for some reason I felt a little reluctant to let him go. I wanted to say that I wanted to go with him, but to be frank we had only known each other for less than two days, and I felt a little embarrassed to say directly that I wanted to go with him.

Not knowing what to do for a moment, Xiaoxia asked a little awkwardly.

"So where are you going?"

"Me? I'm going to Viridian City first, and then I'm going to start collecting badges to participate in the Quartz Conference." Xiaozhi also explained his next plans.
