The snow-white sword light like the tide of the sea covered the sky, reflecting the cedar forest that should have been dim.

Even though he wasn't too close to the place where the battle was engaged, the silver-haired boy still felt the sharp air currents rushing towards his face. He thought he knew enough about this fellow villager, but when Xiao Ye really released all his strength, he still showed a slight look of surprise.

The naked eye has long been unable to capture the figure of the knife-wielding man, and only the belated feedback from the waveguide detection can help Xiao Tian get a glimpse of the battle scene. He could vaguely feel that Xiao Ye didn't use any complicated fighting methods. Her style of play is plain, just like the style she commands Pokémon.

- But such a "simple" knife light is too fast.

The movement of the sword-wielding man's footsteps and the slashing of the blade have already surpassed the reaction speed of ordinary people, as if he has been fighting thousands of times, and all movements have turned into instinct without thinking, and in a short period of ten seconds, the blade and the light shield have collided countless times. Xiao Tian was almost sure that if it was him standing across from Xiao Ye, the battle would be over in a matter of seconds.

However, when Saya is not faced with a ten-year-old man, but a first-class investigator with rich combat experience, the situation briefly falls into a stalemate.

She soon realizes that pure fast attacks don't work for the person in front of her. Waveguide detection can lock on to the enemy's location, and unless she can erase her breath like a sea of stars, continuing to maintain her current rhythm will only give her opponent a chance.

At the moment of the beginning of the battle, the pure operation of logic has taken over all the energy of thought. The blade-wielder calmly changed his moves, and the wind-like blade suddenly turned into a blurred shadow, and the power of the expanding waveguide obscured the aura of the human being.

Under the detection field of the sea of stars, swords from all directions have surrounded themselves.

In the next second, countless translucent points of light rose from the ground. Xiao Ye felt as if her body was stuck in a quagmire and could not move, and the tip of the knife stayed a few centimeters in front of Xinghai's chest, unable to move forward.

Only then did she realize that what had imprisoned her limbs was a clump of soft flying feathers.

After a brief silence, Xiao Ye dispersed the blade in his hand. The overly calm and blank look of the fight had faded, and she struggled to resist the sticky resistance and raised her hands and smiled, "I lost." ”

For a moment, she felt that the investigator in front of her seemed to have a complicated expression that was difficult to decipher. But when he looked at it again, the silver-haired young man just smiled and patted himself on the shoulder, "Good job - you broke Xiaotian's record time as soon as you came up." ”

Xiao Ye blinked, thinking back to the sparring just now that didn't even exceed thirty seconds, and felt that he and the captain could only be regarded as half a catty, and no one could laugh at anyone.

"Sure enough, the Pokémon battle format can only bring out a small part of your quick reflexes. Xinghai lowered his hand, and his tone seemed to be a little serious, "Your fast attack in actual combat is very good, and it doesn't even seem like the ability of a child of your age at all. ”

“……”

"How do you put on a nervous expression?" the young man was deliberately silent for a while, and finally collapsed under the gaze of Xiao Ye's eyes like a wonderful meow, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the drama of 'being excluded from ordinary geniuses' will not be played out here with us - don't forget that I also have a thirteen-year-old colleague." ”

After Xinghai mentioned it, Xiao Ye immediately remembered the famous young investigator, and immediately threw the last bit of discomfort behind her - compared to Abel Winfred, who was hired by the search department at the age of thirteen and was promoted to a first-class investigator in less than a year, she can only be regarded as a trick in acting.

Seeing that the sparring had ended, the young man watching the battle walked up to the two of them and said the question he had just asked, "Xiaoye, why didn't you try to attack from a distance just now?"

Turning the power of the waveguide into a form similar to a flying feather is somewhat similar to the magic leaf move, and can deftly trap enemies. On the premise that he has already seen this trick, there is no reason why Xiao Ye is not clear that it will be more advantageous to properly distance himself and leave room for himself to react.

"This ...... Do you have to explain?" asked Saya hesitantly.

It's okay if she doesn't say it, but when she says this, even Xinghai shows an expression full of inquiry.

“…… Because I'm not good at long-range attacks. Xiao Ye paused, threw his shame threshold into the sky, and continued to answer with a calm expression, "My wave missile will explode." ”

Xiaotian: ......

Xinghai: ......!?

Seeing that both father and son had incomprehensible expressions, Xiao Ye simply performed a live performance - the crystal blue ball of light flew out of her palm and exploded into fireworks in mid-air.

- The light effect is not ugly, and the dark cedar forest is reflected in an awkward blue.

The silence lasted for a long time, until Xinghai ended it all in a dry teacher's voice.

"Ahem, in a word...... That's the end of today's quiz, so let's have a good rest. Tomorrow we will start training according to the schedule. ”

After dinner, Xinghai took the two children to a wooden house in the woods.

According to Xinghai, this is a temporary residence for the island's rangers. The owner returns at most once a week and is very welcoming, and travelling trainers are welcome to settle in this hut.

The small size of the cabin and the cramped bedroom for travellers with four beds makes it a little difficult for residents to get around – in any case, in the hot and humid Orange Islands, it's always better to have an indoor place to live than to pitch a tent outside.

Xinghai and Xiao Tian were holding a thick reference book, both reading carefully, and the scene was somewhat similar to when Xiao Ye visited Xiao Tian's house. Xiao Ye didn't rush to carry out the fixed task of the past few nights - the league review and reflection, leaned on the side of the bed and took out his newly bought mobile phone.

Before reading the manual in its entirety, Saya never dared to touch this precious "property". Now, the booklet, which was not thin or thick, had been turned to the last page, and Saya thought she was confident and calmly pressed the start button.

The smartphone in her hand looked not much different from the one she had before, which added to her confidence. When the boot animation is turned off and the fingerprint entry step is over, what appears on the screen is a concise and easy-to-understand icon arrangement.

Maybe...... You don't really need to read the instructions?

Maybe it's because it's already instinctive for humans to operate mobile phones and computers in modern society, and there's no need to look for tutorials on basic operations, the operating instructions for this mobile phone are very perfunctory, and the content is scattered and difficult to understand, and Xiao Ye even thinks that people who can use mobile phones will become unusable after reading the instructions.

She carefully swiped the screen with her fingers, and when she saw the icon obediently turn to the next page, her sense of confidence suddenly swelled.

Isn't it very simple, and it's the same as the one used in "The World Next Door".

The confident purple-haired girl briskly swiped again-

He watched in amazement as all the icons flew up and began to turn around the center of the screen into a large windmill.

“……”

Xiao Yeshu trembled and tentatively clicked on the screen. The icons on the full screen were still spinning and shaking violently at the same time.

“……！？”

Just as she was about to dig through the difficult manual to find out what was wrong, the silhouette of the boy's body blocked the light, casting shadows on the screen.

"Xiaotian?" Xiao Ye looked up.

The silver-haired boy had already put down the reference book at some point. He shook his phone, "I think we should exchange numbers." ”

Xiao Ye, who was full of gibberish, nodded indiscriminately, turned sideways, and made room for Xiao Tian to sit down.

The boy reported a string of numbers and waited for Xiao Ye to save them in his address book - before he could wait more than three seconds, he felt that something was wrong with the way the person next to him was operating.

He looked at it, and was stunned by the icons that flew all over the screen.

“……”

It was probably the "explosive version of the wave missile" that made Xiao Tian's receptivity skyrocket several levels, and he maintained a calm expression and took the mobile phone from Xiao Ye's hand and operated it on his own for a while.

"Alright. Xiao Tian showed the person next to him the address book that had been saved.

"Thank you...... Hmm?" the crisp ding-dong sound made Xiao Ye hurriedly look down. A notification is displayed on the screen that you have received the email.

"That's Xiaojie and Xiaoling's numbers and email addresses. The young man's voice paused for a few seconds, and he clicked on his phone a few more times as if he had just remembered, "Oh, and my father's." ”

"Ding-dong-"

"Ah, it's excessive. Xinghai obviously noticed the belated hint, and pretended to be sad, "Xiaotian, you definitely forgot about your father just now, right?"

"It took me some time to think of you. Xiaotian replied politely.

Xiao Ye, who was watching the conversation between father and son, couldn't help but laugh. This friend of mine usually looks serious, and only in front of his relatives will he show a little like a ten-year-old boy.

She imitated Xiaotian's previous operation and saved the numbers of the golden retriever brothers and sisters in the address book. Without waiting for her to try to send an email to say hello to her friends, Xiao Tian, who was sitting next to her, said casually, "LINE friends can also add it?"

"Okay. "Xiao Ye, who finally didn't have to move out of eight hundred excuses to get by, happily agreed," ...... Ah, wait a minute, I'll go download it first. ”

"The software store is in ...... You're paddling too fast, turn the page a little slower. A quick swipe will take you to the adjustment tablet interface. ”

"I see...... I get it. ”

"I'll help you sign up for an account. Xiao Tian seems to have completely seen through the truth of Xiao Ye's previous refusal to exchange mobile phone numbers, and as a matter of course, he helped the beginner of the smartphone to operate.

Since it was not pierced from the front, Xiao Yequan was still very strong in this disguise, and calmly looked at Xiao Tian After completing the account registration process, he added a person whose avatar was a little fire dragon to his friend list.

"Is this the Yan when I was a kid?"

"Hmm. Xiao Tian nodded.

Xiao Ye thanked him and took his phone back. Yan in the picture is completely calm now, and is facing the camera with his teeth and claws, looking like a bear child. However, the newborn little one looks soft and glutinous, and even if he makes exaggerated movements, he only looks more cute.

Reminiscing about her fire-breathing dragon's teeth and claws—completely uncute, just stupid—Saya silently adds another item to her schedule a week later.

As a trainer, it is the most common and natural choice to use your own Pokémon as an avatar, which is easy to identify and at the same time reflects the love for Pokémon. Then there is no doubt -

Let's take a picture of Pichu as a profile picture another day.

====================

Small Theatre:

——A week later——

Pichu: (to the camera) I'm the little angel Kira❤~

Night: ...... That's the way you usually look cute, really. So no more using Angel Kiss on my phone.
