No.313 Your place is here
In Koya's not very long past life, everything related to "Pokémon" is rare, and it is only a memory full of pure pleasure. She loves the world depicted in this work, so even after more than a year as a "starry night", she can still recall the images she has seen and heard.
She remembers that in the chapter where the protagonist travels in the Kanto area, two other trainers from Shinshin Town are mentioned three times.
For the first time, the samurai boy in the Tokiwa Forest said that before Ash arrived, the three people with the Wonderful Frog Seed, Jenny Turtle, and Little Fire Dragon had passed by here and overwhelmingly defeated him, so he focused on sniping the trainer from Shinshin Town and found Ash.
The second time, the three Hualan sisters, the owners of the Gym in Hualan City, rejected Ash's request for a challenge, and said that the other three from Zhenxin Town were too powerful and took turns to defeat all their Pokémon, resulting in no Pokémon in the Hualan Gym for a while, so they had to give away the badge.
The third time, when Ash had collected all the badges and was about to join the Quartz League, Dr. Oki told him that the trainer with the Frog Seed and the Little Fire Dragon had a smooth initial trip, but then gradually got into a bitter battle and was unable to collect eight badges and could not participate.
In fact, in the year before he set off on a trip and lived in Zhenxin Town, Xiao Ya did have some doubts in his heart. After getting along with the four future newcomers of Shinshintown, she has a clear enough understanding of the other two who never showed their faces in the original work. Although Xiaoyun is a little reckless on weekdays, her temperament is brave and firm, and she occasionally shows a keen side, and she is not someone who will be easily stumped by the eight badges. Xiao Tian has been taught by the first-level investigator Shen Yu Xinghai since he was a child, and he is far more mature and wise than his peers, and Xiao Ye can't imagine that he failed to qualify.
Before today, Xiao Ye hadn't looked too deep into this issue. She knows that the place she is in is not a simple animation, but a real world, and although she doesn't know why she saw this animation in her previous life, maybe some works of art are just projections of the other world, and the blurred shadows are not always completely realistic, and it is normal for there to be errors.
It wasn't until she heard Xiaoyun's words that Xiao Ye suddenly realized that it was not the projection that was wrong, but "herself".
The cafeteria's noisy voices and the bright colors of the food in front of you seem to be fading away. Standing in a world that was gradually engulfed in mist, Saya stared at the plate in her hand, silently thinking - what would have happened if she hadn't come to this world on January 1, 999 A.D.
The young Xiaoyun sent an invitation to Xiaotian to form a team, and received a response of "I will seriously consider it".
On the day of the trip, Dr. Ohki, who was waiting for Ash who was late, couldn't get out, and after Shigeru said that he was going to wait for Ash at the research institute, he had to entrust the task of delivering the Poké Balls to two other people, Xiao Tian and Xiao Yun. Naturally, the girl would not refuse the request of Dr. Oki, who had taken care of her, and she and Xiao Tianhui met the Xia Yang siblings by the Stone of Oaths, and fought side by side for the first time under the pitch-black rock, witnessing the miracle of the Phoenix King's appearance together.
When confronted by a poaching gang at the Green Fields Cup in Rainbow City, she and Kiriha infiltrate the underground base to rescue the Pokémon. Without Xiao Ya's intervention, they would have spent more time in the underground base, and it is likely that they will notice the strangely shaped hole in the wall, so they will follow the stairs to the underground, and hear the information about the artificial phoenix king's plan from the two of the Radiant Society, and get acquainted with the Shenyu Xinghai lurking underground.
Naturally, they will participate in the artificial phoenix king plan, fight to the death with Team Rocket, and establish a friendship of life and death. Then, a few days later, at the top of the Red Lotus Volcano, they made a vow and formed a team called "Dawn".
Dr. Oki believes that Tim and Sayun are in a bitter battle for the later badge collection because they have been hiding their true movements from this moment on—Saya believes that Kiriba would have had the prescient idea to make this point if she was by her side, rather than not remembering that she should lie about not participating until she returned to Shinjin.
In Ash's cognition, his fellow countrymen Xiaoyun and Xiaotian did not appear in the Quartz Alliance, so throughout the competition, he only thought about his rival Xiaomao, and did not mention the other two at all.
Everything is clear – this is the way the world should be. A natural and correct appearance that is not disturbed by any otherworldly clutter.
Sayo is a very adaptable person. Even if she suddenly comes back from the dead and opens her eyes in a strange world, she will not feel so helpless, she can always find a way to survive calmly, and even freely do something that interests her. But now, she seemed to feel the confusion of not knowing where to go for the first time in a long time, and the dizziness of turning mixed with the bitter self-blame, making it difficult for Xiao Ye to discern what she was thinking.
If it weren't for her, Xiaoyun would have entered the team of her dreams, fighting alongside her cherished friends. Everything should have been better.
Doesn't that illustrate......
Was she ignorant and unconscious, but despicably snatched the position that belonged to Xiaoyun?
The slight touch from the shoulder brought back Saya's senses. She subconsciously turned around and saw the silver-haired young man looking at her, with a look of confusion on his face.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Tian asked as he withdrew his right hand.
Sayo has always had an excellent ability to manage expressions. To the outsider, she just stood there calmly in a daze, the silent turbulence in her heart was blocked by the sturdy armor that permanently enveloped her, and did not leak out a single bit. She blinked, and said casually with a natural expression, "I wonder if there are any longan flan in this restaurant." Xiaotian, you've already finished choosing the dishes?"
Dragon's Eye ...... Pie??
Xiao Tian really subconsciously looked around, trying to find this unheard of food that was strange with every word. However, he also seemed to quickly realize that this behavior was useless, and silently picked up the drink with an ellipsis on his head.
"That's right, Xiao Tian. The girl's unwavering voice came from the side, "What do you think of what Xiaoyun said just now?"
"You mean she wants to team up with me?" Xiao Tian turned his head to look at Xiao Ye.
"Hmm. Xiao Ye nodded and smiled, "Are you going to invite her to join Dawn?"
Xiao Tian stopped moving, as if seriously thinking about how to answer. Xiao Ye said very positively, "I think she would be a good teammate, and it just so happens that we are also in a state of undernumbering, how about inviting her to join in?"
After a pause, Sayo felt that the suggestion was not convincing enough, and added, "Speaking of which...... Did I mention that I met Mr. Xinghai in Rainbow City?"
Seeing that Xiao Tian nodded, Xiao Ye continued, "If I hadn't been there at the time, the people who met Mr. Xinghai and got the information about the artificial phoenix king plan might be Xiao Yun and Tong Ye, and with Xiao Yun's character, I would definitely go to find out—although in fact we passed by, this may also be karma." ”
The girl's tone was very relaxed, and the end note also had a familiar smile, but Xiao Tian gradually frowned.
He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Ya's words, but he couldn't think of where the unpleasant strange feeling came from for a while. Her tone and demeanor were clear, and the content of her words was ......
Xiao Tian recalled the seemingly ordinary speech of the person on the other side again.
…… If at that time...... If I'm not there?
Xiao Ye, who was waiting for Xiao Tian's answer, saw that the other party's face suddenly sank, and he threw a question over with a face, "What are you thinking?"
"Huh?" Saya was stunned, "I'm thinking...... Do you want to invite Xiaoyun to join Dawn?"
"What else?"
Xiao Ye instinctively heard the unkindness in Xiao Tian's tone, and replied nervously and confusedly, "...... Is there a longan flan in this restaurant?"
“…………”
Xiao Tian pressed his eyebrows helplessly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't plan to invite anyone to join at this time. The cooperation proficiency of the four of us is not enough, and it would be safer to practice for a while and then consider increasing the number of personnel. As for Xiaoyun, if she still hasn't changed her mind in the future, I will invite her. ”
Seeing that Xiao Ye nodded again and again, looking very satisfied for some reason, Xiao Tian narrowed his ice blue eyes and said with an unpredictable expression: "What about you, what do you think?"
"......?" Xiao Ye, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly had a question mark on his face, not knowing what Xiao Tian wanted to let him see.
"Xiaoyun said that she wanted to show me her strength in the Quartz Alliance. What about you, aren't you going to show me your strength?" Although he had acquiesced to Xiao Jie's proposal of "meritorious official position", Xiao Tian took out a full captaincy at this time and said slowly.
Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, "You should know what my strength is, right?" After all, they had fought side by side several times, and they were often together during training.
"No, I don't know. Xiao Tian said leisurely, "I haven't seen any of the fighting methods you used in today's game. ”
“……”
Xiao Ye thought about it and felt as if she couldn't refute it, so she blinked silently to show that she was listening.
"If nothing else, we'll meet in the last four. Xiao Tian said. It was not his usual style to write a battle book before the game, but at this time, the silver-haired young man's expression was very solemn, "I want to see your full strength, and I hope you can fight me with all your might." ”
Saya nodded and said "Oh, okay" obediently. After a few seconds of silence, she stopped talking, and finally couldn't help asking, "Xiaotian, your opponent in the afternoon is a greyhound...... Are you so sure you won?"
As the second seed, Greyhound has been in the limelight in the tournament before, and many even believe that he is stronger than the No. 1 seed Keiji Kusama. There is no doubt that this seasoned vest player is not at the same level as the ten-year-old newcomers, and even if Xiao Ye brings enough beautification filters when considering Xiao Tian's related issues, he only thinks that Xiao Tian's win rate is at most forty percent. Could it be ...... What secret strategy did Xiao Tian prepare?
Xiaotian, who was set up with a secret strategy: ".................."
He didn't know how to convey to Xiao Ya that "the point is not here", so he finally had to sigh tiredly, "I'm done with the dishes." ”
Before Xiao Ye could say anything, a small plate was placed on the dinner plate.
"The longan flan you wanted. Xiao Tian raised his hand and walked to the seat where the trench coat men gathered, leaving Xiao Ye stunned in place, staring at the pie wide.
She—she just said it casually...... How can there really be such a thing?
Looking at the strange-looking purple dragon's eye flan on the plate, she picked it up and took a bite, and then immediately turned into a stone sculpture.
It's so bitter!!
……
But...... Seems a little sweet, too?

Chef: This, this customer...... That longan tart...... It's for Pokémon who like bitterness...... (Erkang hand)
