The battle stopped and the two sat on the beach, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze.

After treating the wounds of severely injured but only superficial ones, Yuugila hid back in the Poké Ball, licking his wounds secretly, thinking about how to make progress and regain the face he lost today.

As the winner, the Nightmare, who was hardly injured, sprayed some medicine on himself and then happily went to the sea to play with Haunter.

"Madge!"

"Hoss!"

Haunter has a lifespan of who knows how many years. Although he has not transformed any of that into special abilities, he has summed up countless little tricks for using ghost-related energy, making it a mobile treasure trove.

Through words and deeds, although the little dream demon was a little embarrassed by the prank, he did learn a lot.

"The ability to see the future can be boring sometimes, right?"

Looking at Nancy, who had become dignified again after laughing, with only a faint pink still on her face, Firio asked softly.

He could vaguely understand the feeling in Naz's heart.

"Boom"

A few white lights flashed by, and they were the real main Pokémon in Nancy's team.

They sat around the two of them, not hiding their curiosity and kindness.

Although they have never gotten along, they are particularly close to Firion.

"You are one of the people with the strongest mental fluctuations they have ever seen, except for me and the Cattleya King of Unova, so they like you very much. Psychics and Psychic Pokémon are always attracted to each other."

Nancy stared at the sea and explained calmly.

"As for what you said, it would indeed be boring, so I don't really like fighting. Or rather, fighting is only interesting when you can't see the future."

"So, you hope to find something that you think is 'not part of the established future', right, Naz-senpai?"

Firion gently stroked the Dream Tapir and Slow King, one in each hand, and nodded thoughtfully.

These words expressed exactly what Nazi was thinking.

"...Yeah, it's a pity, it's difficult. Trainer? Star? They are nothing more than that."

After a long time, an imperceptible sigh reached Firio's ears.

For some reason, perhaps because the exhilarating battle had stimulated her mood, Nancy felt like talking.

Chapter 23: Seaside Night Talk: The Other Side of Nazi

Facing the sea breeze, Nazhi told her story.

As a trainer, she seems to have reached her limit.

Super powers are both a help to their Pokémon partners, and seem to have also become their invisible shackles.

She was not very keen on fighting, and she chose to enter the entertainment industry for this reason.

Although she has gained considerable popularity in this new career, Naz always feels that her acting career is not going very smoothly.

Whether in film and television, music, or modeling, her personality is relatively fixed. And because she has only recently entered the industry, she is ultimately still lacking in film and television resources.

In this way, behind the appearance of success, there is a hint of fatigue, emptiness and confusion.

Her dress fluttered in the wind and her long black hair danced gently. Only then did Filio realize that Nancy seemed to be a little thinner than the last time they met, and her expression seemed a little lonely and desolate.

She said that she was not afraid of the cold due to the spontaneous protection of her superpowers, but it was still noticeable that Nazi's body was trembling slightly, but the amplitude was so small that she herself might not even notice it.

Filio took off his windbreaker, gently put it on, and asked tentatively: "Senior, what kind of style change do you want?"

"Hmm..." After a moment's silence, Nazi seemed to feel a little cold, and subconsciously tightened her windbreaker. "I hope to make a breakthrough, preferably one that is a bit different, not a superpower, nor a so-called queen, but an ordinary person who can give me a better sense of reality."

Later on, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "But, there is actually no point in saying all this. What to act and how to act are not up to me. Can I write a script myself to act in it?"

"That may not be the case, Senior." Filio thought for a moment and suggested, "In fact, I do know a script that may satisfy your wish. One of the core characters in it is quite similar to what you want."

"Hmm? You know the script?" Nancy's eyes widened slightly, and her tone was a little suspicious. Obviously, she didn't quite believe it and thought that Filio was trying to comfort her. "I appreciate your kindness, Filio. Don't worry about me. I can adapt to it myself. I just suddenly thought of these things today."

"I'm not trying to comfort you, Senior. If you don't mind, you can take a look at it for a while."

Seeing what Nanzi was thinking, Filio took out his cell phone, found the backup document of the script, and sent it to Nanzi.

"Beyond the Horizon?" A story about a farm girl, love, nature, and the tragedy of fate.

She opened the document doubtfully, and in order not to refute Firio in person, Nancy glanced through it.

After a while, she became interested.

"The core characters of this script seem to be the brothers Robert and Anzhu, but in fact, it should be Ruth, right? What a pity... What a pity that this is a play script. It would be better if it was a movie script..."

As she spoke, she felt a little depressed again and sighed.

"Yes, there is still a big difference from a play to a movie." Filio nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "If my level can be improved a little bit, maybe I can try to help turn this script into a movie script."

"You?... Did you write this script? This..."

Dumbfounded, Nancy turned to the first page of the document. In the screenwriter column, Firio's name was clearly written. However, she had not read it carefully before and just flipped to the back after a quick glance.

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she realized that her earlier suspicion had been a little rude.

"A little hobby won't affect my study and training. I know my priorities very well, so don't worry, senior."

Seeing Nancy's embarrassment, Filio considerately provided her with a way out.

"...Ahem, yes... I still have to focus on my own growth." After taking advantage of the situation and acting like a senior to resolve the awkwardness, Nancy looked a little excited and said, "But this script is really interesting. Is the historical background before the establishment of the alliance? Maybe it can really become an excellent movie. When I'm not busy, I will read it carefully a few more times."

Firio's eyes were warm. "I am very happy that you are interested. I may not be able to guarantee the time, but I will try my best and try to write one in the next few months."

"You are the one who called me Senior, but now it seems that I have to be taken care of by you."

Touching her windbreaker and looking at the script on her phone, Nazi shook her head and sighed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I want to ask you a question. You know Senior Kokobul of the Refining Tower because of his granddaughter Korni, right? Didn't she tell you who I am? After knowing what happened a few years ago, are you still willing to help me like this?"

Turning her head to look at the sea, Nancy pretended to comb her hair nonchalantly and asked lightly.

“Korni, she seems a little nervous about the senior’s matter. But I think people are not static. I trust my own eyes and my inner reaction more. At least, in my opinion, someone who gets along with Haunter like this is not the person the rumors say.”

Firio's eyes were filled with sincerity.

He probably knew more about Naz's past than most people in this world, and he could also have a deeper understanding of the causes of her personality.

"Hoss?"

Haunter, who had very sharp ears, heard Firion calling him from afar, so he pulled the little Nightmare who was still practicing multiple Shadow Balls, flew back quickly, and stretched out his big tongue, about to lick Firion and Nancy.

Alakazam, who was sitting quietly and listening, decisively used his supernatural powers to freeze Haunter and prevent it from making trouble.

"Madge?"

Looking at all this, Xiao Mengyao was also a little confused.

"Nothing, little dream demon, come and sit down for a while and rest. I'm talking to the senior about something else."

Firion waved his hand gently and held the dream demon in his arms, without explaining anything to it in detail.

Although he is very sensible, Xiao Mengyao is still just a child after all, and knowing too much may not be a good thing.

"Machi~"

Firion didn't want to say much, and the little dream demon didn't intend to ask. He just found a comfortable position to sit down, stretched out his little hand, and touched the noses of the Dream Tapir and the Sun Eevee who came over, as a greeting.

"Heh, you're quite insightful, little guy." Looking at Firion, the little dream demon, and her Pokémon who were very close to them, Nancy smiled with satisfaction, and the whole person seemed to become much more cheerful. "Then let's not talk about me, let's talk about you?"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary student who got a little bit lucky. What's there to say?"

Pointing at himself, Firio laughed in silence.

"Ordinary student? Do you have a different understanding of this term than I do?" Glancing at Firion with disdain, Nancy said jokingly, "If I hadn't known about your experience, based on your command of the two battles, I would have thought you were one of the Four Heavenly Kings or even the champion who retired from some region."

After thinking about it, she seemed to have some regrets: "If you were in Kanto, with your talent, you would definitely be much better than you are now. Why are you still studying in school? To be honest, this is a bit of a waste of time for you."

"I am indeed very happy that my senior thinks highly of me, but I have some different opinions on the matter of going to school."

After hearing Nancy's opinion that it might be a waste of time, Firio stopped smiling and became a little more serious.

"For me, it is a very happy thing to have a good start and a good end in school. I like the days of getting along with classmates and friends. People cannot live without social structures and emotional structures, just like you, your friends, and this Haunter."

"Oh? Although it's a bit flowery, the meaning is somewhat similar to that little devil Xiaozhi, but his choice is completely opposite to yours. He went out alone at a young age."

Although she was refuted, Nancy didn't care. Instead, she nodded with interest and looked at Firion steadily.

"Xiaozhi, is that the guy who won the Orange Islands championship? I've read reports about him. What do the seniors think of him? I'm looking forward to their opinions."

The familiar name brought back many memories for Firion and made him even more curious.

With her legs bent and her hands on her knees, seeing that Firion didn't seem to be asking casually, Nancy carefully searched through her memories of her and Xiaozhi's experiences together and said:

"He's a little guy who's always a bit clumsy and impulsive, but very infectious. Maybe in time, he can really become the very special 'Pokémon Master' that he dreams of?"

"That's a very high evaluation, Senior." Firio's eyes showed some warmth. "People who have dreams and always persevere in pursuing them will definitely feel a certain happiness regardless of whether they can realize their dreams in the end."

"Why do you seem to have seen him before?" Nancy glanced at Firion who seemed to be lost in some memories, and said teasingly, "You little guy sees and thinks clearly, but you are a bit lazy to do things yourself. But it's okay this way, now things are starting to get a bit chaotic again, even Carlos, the remnants of the Flare Team are starting to revive, not to mention..."

At the end, Nazhi shook her head and stopped the second half of the sentence.

For Filio, such questions are a bit far-fetched, so let him enjoy his last years of campus life as he wishes.

Thinking of this, Nazhi looked at the sea, secretly chewing on the words in her heart.

The dark night sky was so desolate that it made Nazi seem a little lonely and alienated.

"I'm leaving again tomorrow."

She said this out of nowhere, and it actually moved Firio a little.

But the friendship between the two was not very deep, and what they had just said might have been the limit for today. Philio could not hastily persuade her, so he could only sit quietly beside her, expressing his concern and support silently with some gratitude and emotion.

As a busy entertainment star, he was able to come to Sala just for me during his vacation of less than a day. Although there were some other factors involved, it ultimately came down to his great kindness towards me, and I needed to repay him with equal kindness.

"Hey, you little guy! You look so heavy-hearted. I just came here to take over this property and see your progress. Don't think too much."

Gently raise your beautiful chin, the moonlight flows like water, sprinkles down, and your figure blends with the scene.

The long black hair falls naturally, giving it a unique and breathtaking beauty.

"I am very happy to be able to play and chat with my seniors, and I hope they can be happier. There are always unsatisfactory or less interesting things in life, but we still need to find value and fun in them."

This is what Firio really thinks. He has been trying to do this since he was a child.

"Hmm...eh?"

While pondering, Nazi was about to say something, but suddenly she looked up at the sky in front of her and her eyes lit up.

“Swoosh—bang!”

Colorful fireworks exploded into the sky, shining in the night sky.

Nazi stood up, put on her windbreaker and looked carefully. The fireworks seemed to be set off on a beach not far away.

"Today there is a fireworks show in Sala. There is one at this time every month, with varying sizes. It is one of the characteristics of the scenic spot. Do you like these, senior?"

Walking slowly to Nancy, Firio explained to her softly.

Feeling a little cold, he shivered imperceptibly, startling the little dream demon who was watching the fireworks attentively in his arms.

"Madge!"

The small figure turned into a black line and rushed straight into the shadow. After a noise, another coat was carried out by it with great effort.

"Oh, thank you, little dream demon." While putting on his coat, Filio patted the little dream demon's head, causing the little guy to act coquettishly. Filio looked at Nancy who was still concentrating on watching the fireworks, "We may have stumbled upon one of the best viewing spots here by accident?"

"This is all thanks to you. I really like watching fireworks. The momentary brilliance is always beautiful."

Nazhi's voice had a softness that was hard to find in normal times, and it was not difficult to tell that she was indeed in better condition now.

Several Pokémon gathered around her, and even Haunter, who loved to play pranks, became much more obedient and well-behaved at this moment.

Time passes by minute by minute, like the flow of a gurgling stream.

Soon, the fireworks reached their climax and then came to an end.

The night sky returned to calm.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a good deal. This is a unique new inspiration, and you're the first audience!"

Before Firion could come to his senses, Nancy had gently taken off her shoes that were in the way, threw her windbreaker to Alakazam, and danced freely on this deserted beach with her pantyhose on, flashing the blue light of her superpowers.
