Elf: Release? Not possible.

Wow! ! !

The river water splashed, and the two fishing lines were taut. In the center of the two fishing lines, a round object was hooked. They looked over at the same time and saw that the fish hooks were both hooked with a worn-out Poké Ball.

"Poke Ball? This must be the guide that will soon become the trainer's. Xiaozhi, this is mine, let go quickly!" Xiaomao's expression changed slightly when he looked at the Poké Ball, and then he looked intently at Xiaozhi.

Because in this world, although you can become a trainer at the age of 10, the control over Poké Balls is relatively strict. Stores will not sell Poké Balls to children under 10 years old, and you cannot buy them even if you have money.

Therefore, for those who have not yet become trainers, being able to get a Poké Ball is undoubtedly lucky. Although it does not mean anything, it can be said to be a good sign.

“We obviously fished it out together, you should be the one who let go!” Xiaozhi had no intention of giving in and suddenly exerted force. After three years of training, he was much stronger.

Snapped! ! !

At the moment of exerting force, the Poké Ball in the middle made a sound, and with a snap, the red and white Poké Balls bounced directly and were hooked back by the two people's fishing lines, with only half of each still hanging on the fishing line.

"Ah! It's broken? It looks very old, and the connecting parts are loose!" Xiao Mao said while looking at the elf.

"It seems like we'll have to leave the outcome for later! After you become a trainer, the one who actually determines the winner will get the other half!" Xiaozhi took down half of the Poké Ball, took a look at it, then put it away, turned around and left.

"Xiaozhi! Humph! I will definitely be the winner in the end." If it were Xiaomao three years ago, he would definitely not be convinced.

Because for him, he would not admit that he was evenly matched with someone as undisciplined as Xiaozhi, but now it was different, he already regarded Xiaozhi as a strong rival.

Chapter 16 Departure Day

A week passed quickly and the day of departure finally arrived. Xiaozhi had been looking forward to this day and prepared everything early.

He was not late like in the anime. He got up early, and after getting up and running as usual, his mother Hanako was still not awake when he got home. In these three years, Xiaozhi has integrated into this family.

After returning home, Xiaozhi saw that Hanako had not gotten up yet, so he went to the kitchen to cook. In recent years, he had occasionally helped with cooking. As he was about to go on a trip, he also wanted to cook a meal with all his heart.

He placed Hanako's portion on the table, and after he had eaten his fill, he went upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes, which were made by Hanako herself.

He changed into new clothes and came to the mirror. Although they were also made by Hanako, the style and design were made by Hanako according to his ideas, so they were different from the original.

His color is mainly red, and he wears a black short-sleeved T-shirt next to his skin, a white-collared and red sleeveless lapel jacket as his outer layer, black fingerless gloves on his hands, black slim-fit jeans and black and red high-top sneakers on his lower body, with the extra trouser legs tucked into his shoes.

Compared to Satoshi's original outfit in the anime, the current Satoshi still prefers this outfit in the game, which is the outfit of Aka who appears as the protagonist of the game.

In fact, they are both the same person, but one is the protagonist of the game and the other is the protagonist of the anime.

Chi actually means Zhi, the difference is that one is taciturn and steady, while the other is a sunny and optimistic careless person.

But in essence, they are the same. The reason why they are taciturn is that the protagonists in the game are all dumb. Naturally, the game is based on the fun of the players. If you can't win the championship every year, who will still play this game?

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with perfect characters in games, because people tend to put themselves into the game characters and naturally think that the game characters are perfect. On the contrary, in order to cater to children, it is normal for the characters in anime to be immature.

"Okay! Let's go!" After changing into new clothes, he walked to the table and picked up the hat on the table.

The hat was also red, with only the front part being white. There was a green Poké Ball pattern on the upper left corner. After putting the hat on, he picked up the prepared backpack and opened the door.

I glanced at Hanako's door and saw that it was still closed. I didn't disturb her. I put on my backpack and went downstairs directly.

He left a note on the table, put it under the breakfast, and then went out.

What Xiaozhi didn't notice was that not long after he left, Hanako came downstairs, and she didn't look like she had just woken up.

After Xiaozhi left, Hanako also came to the kitchen. Looking at the exquisite breakfast on the table, her eyes reddened slightly. She saw the note on the table and took it out from under the plate.

It just says...

"I'm leaving! Remember to have breakfast and take good care of yourself - Xiaozhi!"

"This kid~~" Hanako was moved when she read the message.

Because in the past three years, Xiaozhi has become more and more sensible and is no longer the careless child. She should have gone to see him off, but Xiaozhi has been so sensible over the years that she was reluctant to say goodbye.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, Hanako has decided not to go. For the sake of her child's dream, she is afraid that if she appears too reluctant, it will put pressure on the child.

. . . .

"Xiaozhi! Today is the day to set off, do your best!"

"Good morning, Auntie! Thank you, Auntie!" As they walked along the way, although it was still early, many people who passed by other houses had already gotten up, and when they saw Xiaozhi, they greeted him warmly.

Enthusiasm and early rising seem to be the habits of the people in this world, and one can truly experience what simple folk customs are.

"Come on, Xiaomao! Xiaomao, Xiaomao is the best!!" When they arrived at the entrance of Professor Oak's laboratory, they could already hear the voice from some distance away. Xiaozhi was speechless after hearing the voice, and an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.

Looking up, I saw a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the institute, most of them were there to watch the fun.

For Pallet Town, this is an annual custom. Usually there are many people coming to watch the fun, and only a few can eventually become top trainers, but that does not hinder the adults' expectations for the children.

At this time, in front of the crowd, you can see a group of beautiful girls, about 18 or 19 years old, standing at the door and shouting slogans like cheerleaders.

"Excuse me, please make way!" Xiaozhi spoke politely as he walked outside the crowd. Upon hearing his voice, many people in the town knew Xiaozhi and knew that he was also one of the protagonists today, so they immediately made way.

"Xiaozhi, you're too late, aren't you? You can't be so careless!" Xiaomao had already arrived.

These girls are his fan club. To be honest, they are handsome and have good family backgrounds, so they are indeed very popular.

"The doctor wasn't guarding the door, and I wasn't late. Aren't you exaggerating too much?" Xiaozhi also cared. He was used to bickering after so many years. He glanced at the fan group next to him and was speechless.

"Humph! You care about me, you are not jealous, right?"

"If you say so, then so..." Xiaozhi didn't bother to argue after hearing that, he was even envious!

To be honest, there's really nothing to envy about him. In his previous anime, he had many titles, and Aquaman was one of them, although it was just a joke.

Xiao Mao didn't say much when he saw this. Xiao Zhi also looked over and saw that the other two had also arrived. There were a total of four people who were going to set off today. In addition to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao, there were two other people, one man and one woman.

I didn't have much impression of the boy, but I did have a good impression of the girl. In fact, I had seen her during the three years here. Xiaozhi was also surprised when he saw her for the first time.

Her name is Xiaolan, nothing special, basically the naming style of this world.

But if you have played the game, or are familiar with the comics and some of the spin-offs and specials, you will know her.

She is the blue protagonist in the red, yellow, blue and green version of the game, but from beginning to end, in the four-color version, the playable character is still Xiaozhi, and the rival is always Xiaomao.

Xiaolan only appears on the blue version of the Xuanhua cover, but there is no trace of her in the game.

Chapter 17: Professor Oak's Dilemma

Xiaozhi doesn't know much about her. She never appears in the game, but she appears frequently in special episodes, extra episodes, and some extra comics.

And her life experience is not simple. In the special episode, she is not a rookie trainer. She and Gin, one of the protagonists of the second generation gold and silver versions, were kidnapped by a mysterious masked man since childhood.

Later, after escaping, she stole Professor Oak's Squirtle. The story in the special episode is also different from the anime. In the special episode, Ash did not meet Pikachu at the beginning.

Instead, he chose Bulbasaur, and his rival, Xiaomao, chose Charmander, which could restrain Bulbasaur, according to the game mechanism. Then Squirtle was stolen by Blue.

In the special episode, she is a smart, cunning, naughty and cheerful girl, but that is because she was kidnapped and received special training. Later, she took Squirtle and gradually became friends with Ash and Shaggy in the special episode.

He started out as a trainer in Pallet Town, and resolved many crises with Satoshi and Shamo.

So her origins are actually very unclear, but here, Xiaozhi also learned that she is a native of Pallet Town.

He has a cheerful personality, but is not cunning either. This time he came here as a rookie trainer to claim the Pokémon instead of stealing it.

Xiaozhi also realized that this world is different from the anime, but it cannot be said to be different. After all, the anime did not mention the other two people much, and no one stipulated that the other two people could not have Xiaolan.

There is also an interesting legend about her. Many people say that Xiaolan is actually a vine monster.

The reason why Xiao Lan appeared in the promotional picture but not in the game is because she died of drowning at the beginning. She was entangled by seaweed and drowned, so her soul turned into a vine monster.

However, these are just some weird stories and have nothing to do with the main storyline, or even the special episode. But since I am Satoshi, the worldview of this world should be the main storyline of the anime.

The main storyline of the anime is close to the bright side of reality, but the special episode is not suitable for children who love Pokémon. It reflects the dark side, in which not only those organizations that attempt to rule the world, but even the gym trainers and the Four Heavenly Kings cannot be trusted.

Xiaozhi also greeted them separately, and the two of them also greeted Xiaozhi enthusiastically. They chatted for a while, and soon Professor Oak came out.

"You're here so early!" Walking out from the stairs and opening the iron gate, Dr. Oak looked at the four people in front of him with a kind smile.

"Good morning, Doctor!" Several people greeted him at the same time.

"Good morning to you guys, it looks like you're all ready."

"Of course, Grandpa, let's choose Pokémon!" There is no need to explain much about the relationship between Xiao Mao and Professor Oak, so there is no need to be too polite.

"Okay, come with me!" Dr. Oak didn't waste any words. He could see that these kids were very eager, so he took four of them into the research institute, while the others stayed outside.

Soon, they entered the research institute. In the room of the research institute, three Poké Balls were placed on a cylindrical table.

There were three Poké Balls on the table, and the names of the three Pokémon were engraved on the surface of the Poké Balls. Looking at the three Poké Balls, Professor Oak turned around and looked at the three of them with a slightly frown.

"There's one thing I forgot to tell you about this time's initial Pokémon. We didn't expect so many people to sign up, so the research institute only prepared three initial Pokémon." Professor Oak felt a little embarrassed as he looked at the four people in front of him.

It's not just Pallet Town, in fact many places are similar. Not many people can sign up at one time, so preparing three is completely sufficient, but I didn't expect so many people would suddenly sign up this time.

"Ah! Then... doesn't that mean some people can't get Pokémon?" After hearing what Professor Oak said, Xiaolan asked in surprise.

"Yes! I'm already processing it. You can take these three Pokémon away today, but one of them may have to wait a few days."

Seeing how eager they are, although I know it’s a bit unfair to them, there’s nothing I can do.

The research institute will be able to handle it and other initial Pokémon will be delivered in due time, but we will have to wait a few more days. However, it is obvious that the four of them are ready to set off today, and it would not be good to suddenly ask them to wait any longer.

But there was nothing that could be done in the current situation. Upon hearing this, Xiao Mao and the other boy frowned, but Xiao Zhi didn't react much.

"Well... then I'll wait a few more days!" As the only girl, she didn't seem to have such a strong desire to set off immediately, so she chose to take the initiative and give way.

"Grandpa, don't you have any other Pokémon here?"

Seeing the only girl say this, how could the boys let a girl give in to them like this? Xiao Mao looked at Professor Oak and asked.

"Inside the institute, most of the Pokémon are fostered by others. The rest are not suitable for newcomers. There is one Pokémon, but it doesn't even listen to me. If you take it out, there might be problems."

Although Professor Oak's place is a research institute, not all of his Pokémon are his. Most of them are Pokémon that were received by former trainers here, and then captured outside and teleported back for foster care. There are not many Pokémon that truly belong to the research institute.

"I want it! Is that okay, Doctor?" Xiaozhi spoke the first time he heard what Professor Oak said.

"Hmm? It's possible, but you have to think carefully. It will be very dangerous if you can't tame it!" Professor Oak's eyes lit up when he heard Satoshi speak up.

Xiaozhi had often come to him in the past three years and seen how he got along with the Pokémon. If anyone among the new trainers could tame it, it would probably be Xiaozhi, but he still gave a reminder.

"It's okay, please give it to me!"

"Okay!" Seeing that Xiaozhi was so persistent, Professor Oak stopped talking and took out another Poké Ball with a lightning pattern on the outside.

When Xiaozhi held the Poké Ball in his hand, he felt a sense of restlessness, as if the thing inside didn't like staying in it. Xiaozhi felt this breath, as if he felt the pull of the soul, and subconsciously threw the Poké Ball out.

PS: Although it is said that they will not release them, Pingzi still has a question, does the old spray count? After all, when I go to other areas, I leave them with Professor Oak. Pingzi doesn't want to write about the kind of cheating that brings dozens of them.

Chapter 18: Pikachu Appears

Poof! ! ! !

With a sound, the Poké Ball opened, and a blue light flashed, followed by a dazzling burst of lightning. Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and Xiao Mao and others dodged.

"Hey! Xiaozhi, what are you doing?" After the lightning gradually disappeared, Xiaomao was a little annoyed, and the other two were also gasping for breath, seemingly very scared.

"I've just reminded you!" Professor Oak said helplessly.

I thought to myself, is it still not working?

The electric current dissipated, and a creature with long sharp ears and yellow fur appeared in front of everyone.

The dark eyes looked around vigilantly, and there seemed to be two red blushes on the cheeks that flashed electric currents from time to time. There were three long brown strips of hair behind him, and the shape of the tail was like lightning, from thin to thick.

"Pikapi!!!"

"So cute! But... it looks like it's very angry." Judging from its appearance alone, it must be a Pokémon that will attract girls' attention. Just look at Blue now.
