After the battle of Bai Jin Gym, Xiao Ye and Xiao Jie took a walk around Bai Jin Island in the afternoon to pass the time. Now that both of them have already obtained eight badges, there is no need to rush too much for the rest of the journey.

Xiao Ya has already decided on his next stop - go to Joban City first, and then return to Shinshin Town to prepare for the Quartz Alliance. Hearing Xiao Ye say this, Xiao Jie immediately said that he also planned to go to Joban City to meet Xiao Ling. So, the two finally decided to go together for the time being.

The "walk" method is of course the most economical and most suitable for trainers.

The next morning, they set out. When the two of them coincidentally wore their regular clothes and completely abandoned the riding gear and prepared to take off, Xiaojie took a few seconds to throw a "you know" look at Xiaoye.

"It's so cumbersome to ride a device, and wearing that kind of stuff can be upsetting and cause a flight accident. You think so too, don't you?"—When Xiao Jie said this, Xiao Ye had no choice but to nod in the affirmative.

Although the truth is that she can't afford a riding unit at all.

Fortunately, both of them are capable people, and the Pokémon's manned flight skills are also solid and reliable, even if they are not protected by a riding device, they will not perform high-altitude falls. More dangerous than an accident is the possibility of being caught by the air patrol and fined.

In this regard, the golden retriever boy swore that as an experienced person who has been fined hundreds of times, he has long figured out the rules of action of the air police, and took Xiaoye to go around left and right, and really bypassed all the patrol points.

Not having to pay a fine is of course something to be happy for Xiao Ye, but it is so blatant and even triumphant to break the law......

Sayo suddenly felt sin creeping up her back.

and resolutely refused to turn himself in and pay the fine.

At noon on May 11, Tokiwa Forest.

"So, Mr. Harada, I'll take my leave. Xiao Ye smiled and waved to the young ranger in the forest, "I'll come back when I have time." ”

"Well, goodbye. The black-haired young man nodded, watching Xiao Ye take the big bird all the way away, and reached out to pat the wings of the golden bird beside him.

"You've got an amazing son. ”

When Bibi Bird heard this, he raised his head proudly and accepted the praise of his human companions. The large-billed finch blinked its eyes, pursed its lips, and nestled on the branches of the tree in boredom to comb its feathers.

When the originally skinny Bobo evolved into a large bird, Xiao Ya planned to take him back to his hometown to meet his former population. Since Bobo's father entrusted Bobo to her with anticipation and trust, it is only natural for this father to see his son's growth, isn't it?

And the "touching goodbye" of these two birds did not follow the routine at all. The flow of tears and hugging was completely omitted, and after seeing his son, who had evolved into his final form, the leader of the clan, Bibi Bird, challenged his son almost without hesitation.

It is worth mentioning that this time, the large-billed finch and its flaming finch members also became spectators. The large-billed sparrow, which was fierce and unapproachable a few months ago, is not very good-tempered now, and from time to time throws a roll of the eyes at his trainer, if ?—— trainer, but he does not cause any more trouble, and even allows a few young Bobos to bounce around him.

It seems that the ranger named Harada really did it. Let the large-billed finch and the bibi bird, two groups whose nature is opposed to each other, coexist peacefully in the Tokiwa forest.

Ending the ethnic strife and saving countless Pokémon from suffering may be a great contribution that Xiao Ya could not have imagined.

On the other side, the battle between father and son ended with the victory of the young son - following Saya through countless trials, Tabitori has already become an excellent and powerful warrior.

Even if he was defeated, the leader Bibi Bird was still very stingy and only rewarded Dabi Bird with a smile that was not obvious in arc, and immediately flapped his wings to drive people away, no, to chase the birds. Dabi didn't seem to be dissatisfied, and both father and son knew very well that there was no need for any sticky emotions between them.

Knowing that his son is growing up at a rapid pace is already the best gift for a father.

After finishing the scheduled meeting, Xiao Ye returns to the Pokémon Center in Tokiwa City, ready to join the Golden Retriever siblings. However, after arriving at the agreed place, Xiaoye saw an unexpected acquaintance again.

"See you again, Saya. The young man who had returned to the Pretender costume greeted Xiao Ye with a gentle smile, and the silver-haired boy next to him nodded as usual.

Xiao Ye looked at Xinghai and Xiao Tian, and then looked at the smiling golden retriever brother and sister on the other side, "...... This time it's a man-made Lokia project?"

"I don't hate this statement, but it's a pity that the artificial Lokia project has yet to be discovered. Xiao Ling replied solemnly, causing her brother to shake his head helplessly, so he had to add, "It's just a coincidence." ”

According to Xinghai, he stayed in Tokiwa City because of the explosion at Tokiwa Gym a few days ago. The local police found traces related to Team Rocket in the ruins of the gym, and the alliance had already discovered that there was suspicious behavior in the Tokiwa Gym in recent months, so they immediately began an investigation into the gym and its former owner. And Xinghai, who was on vacation, happened to be near Tokiwa City, and when he heard the news, he took Xiaotian to participate in the investigation.

"Now that the investigation is almost over, the conclusions are really strange. Xinghai shook his head, "The detonation device in the gym should have been installed by Team Rocket themselves, and it was they who pressed the detonation button with their own hands, at a point in time when they were not facing any threat. Maybe the truth hasn't been dug out yet. ”

Sayo tried to recall the cause of the explosion at the Tokiwa Gym in her memory...... It was immediately decided that there should be silence here.

Even she didn't want to believe that such a nonsensical scenario had become a reality.

Xinghai and Xiaotian's next itinerary is the same as Xiaoye's, and it is also to return to Zhenxin Town - it is also a tradition for freelance trainers to return to their hometown for special training after collecting enough badges.

When the golden retriever siblings glanced at each other and proposed to be together, Xinghai was suddenly puzzled. His hometown is not a well-known tourist attraction, but a remote and small town that is really not worth visiting by outsiders - unless they want to have an academic exchange with Dr. Ohki.

"You two's home is indeed in Silver Mountain, right? Why would you go to a remote place like Zhenxin Town?"

Seeing that Xinghai was about to make up a drama such as "children and parents disagree and run away from home angrily", Xiaojie smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"Because Zhenxinzhen was where our father lived as a child, we decided that we would have time to see it. ”

There was still a little worry between the young man's eyebrows, but his expression was already sluggish.

He knew that Xiaojie and Xiaoling were the same age as his son, so their father was naturally close to him. He also knew that it was not so strange for a minor of the Xia Yang family to leave Silver Mountain to live in other cities.

Because the most reliable young tame who grew up with him since he was a child and fought side by side with him countless times is not the one with the surname Xia Yang.

Other words......

Satisfied to see that Mr. Dragon Messenger, who had great powers, showed a stunned expression, Xiao Ling also narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"It's too late to find out, Mr. Xinghai. ”

On the morning of May 12.

Four teenagers and one adult, plus a few Pokémon, a chaotic procession crowded on the path that led to Shinshin Town.

Because he had noticed that the attitude of the golden retriever brothers and sisters towards Xinghai was too "familiar", Xiao Ye was not very surprised to know that their father and Xinghai were friends, and by the way, he also figured out a long-standing problem-

It turned out that when they first met, Xiaojie stared at Xiaotian for a long time, because he knew the appearance of Xinghai, so he felt that his son Xiaotian was very familiar?

"Let's go to the institute and say hello to Dr. Ohki. Xinghai, who was walking at the front, turned around and smiled at the rookie trainers, "Xiaotian, your mother is already waiting for you at the research institute." ”

Xiao Tian nodded, and somehow showed a helpless look, causing Xiao Pichu, who was lying on Xiao Ye's shoulder, to blink and stare at him vigorously.

There is only one road connecting Zhenxin Town to the outside of the town. Xinghai still remembers that about a year ago, he and Xiaotian also returned here on a similar sunny morning, walking unhurriedly. But there is no way to be unhurried today, and a certain two golden retrievers have already run in a hurry.

The pure white town has always been quiet. Not too noisy, not too deadly silent, the sound of insects chirping and the chatter of the townspeople in the distance mingled together to form the unique melody of Zhenxin Town.

"No wonder my dad said that this place is very suitable for retirement, and it really makes people want to sleep in the fields. Xiao Ling slapped her palm and gave Zhenxin Town a strange definition.

Xinghai and the residents here were obviously very familiar, and many people greeted him along the way. Fortunately, he hadn't stood in place like an old man going out for a walk and began to gather in a group of Kan Dashan-Xiao Lingyu, and the group soon arrived at the gate of Dr. Damu's research institute.

Before the young man could raise his hand and knock on the door, the metal door of the institute, which no longer looked very solid, opened with a whirl. The door opener trotted two steps, and a happy and nice voice greeted him, "Welcome back." ”

"Well, I'm back, Yuka - I'm guessing you're only thirty minutes ahead of me. ”

"No, it's thirty-five minutes. ”

The person who spoke was a woman with long orange hair. Her tone was brisk, and her eyebrows fluttered with a bit of liveliness, more like a young girl than an adult woman in her thirties. From such an intimate conversation between her and Xinghai, you can see the relationship between them-

Well, there is no need to look at it anymore.

Before Xiao Tian, who was standing on the side, could speak, a woman named Yuka had already reached out and hugged the boy into her arms. Xiaotian's face was buried in the fabric of the long skirt, and the strength was so great that Xiao Ye, who was watching from the sidelines, even wondered if the person who was being held could still breathe.

"Ten-chan, welcome back!How's your health?Are you happy traveling?" Yuka rubbed the top of the boy's head with her face, "Mom has always missed you." ”

Sky...... Ten-chan?

The three onlookers were shocked by this title, and they couldn't make up for it for a while, and they always looked cold and Xiaotian added "sauce" what kind of painting style it was.

The warm hug from the mother lasted for more than ten seconds. When Yuka was finally willing to let go, Xiaotian straightened her messed hair and patiently replied, "I'm fine, and I'm happy to travel." I miss you too, Mom. ”

Her son's answer made Yuka show an expression that was happy enough to take off on the spot, and held her face to calm down for a moment, only to see three little guys standing next to her in the shape of 0-0.

"Tian-chan, are they your friends?" Yuka turned her smiling gaze to the three of them, and only then did she realize what kind of indecent behavior she had just done, covering her mouth and muttering, "Ah, did Mom make you embarrassed in front of your friends......"

Most boys at this age don't like to be kneaded by their parents as children, especially in front of their friends - in fact, most girls are the same, such as Yuka herself when she was young.

"No, it's okay. Xiao Tian looked very calm, "If this can make you happy." ”

Seeing that Yuka was once again shot by an arrow and lost her ability to fight, Xiaojie struggled to maintain his kind smile and suppressed the twitching urge at the corner of his mouth.

Hey, Iceberg Boy, don't mess with your boyfriend power against your mother!

"Alright, alright. Watching the play, I saw Xinghai, who was satisfied, clapping his hands, and finally remembered to interrupt everyone's conversation, "Don't just stand at the door, come into the house and talk." ”

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

Small Theatre:

Xiaojie: I said Iceberg Boy, why do you call Mr. Xinghai "father" and Ms. Yuka "mother" instead of "mother"?

Xiaotian: Because my mother wants me to call her that. In fact, at first, my mother wanted me to call her "Mommy"-

Xiaojie & Xiaoling: (wide-eyed) (up ears)

Xiaotian: (calmly) Then he was stopped by his father, and it seems that he was afraid that I would call him "Dabi". (sighs and shakes his head) Father thinks too much, how could it be? I won't let that happen.

Jj:............

Xiaoling: Hahahahahaha!
