With the end of the annual Quartz Alliance Conference, the huge flow of people gathered on the Quartz Plateau began to gradually disperse. This vast plateau in the Kanto region has returned to its former calm and somewhat desolate atmosphere.

"Huh?!" the Golden Retriever's voice echoed in the center of the Pokémon that had become empty, "Are these eggs really meant for us?"

Looking at the four Pokémon eggs lined up in front of him, Xiaojie said that he couldn't be calm.

"But it's not good...... Such a valuable thing. Xiao Ling looked at the smiling silver-haired young man with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, you should kill him! Xinghai is a very arrogant kid!" the white-haired old man waved his hand with a big grin.

"Jett senior......" Xinghai's expression was quite helpless.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Jett, the grandfather of the golden retriever siblings, rushed into the Pokémon Center in a rage. Reason: To praise their excellent grandchildren who have reached the semi-finals, and to take Xiaojie and Xiaoling to continue the unfinished cultivation before the Quartz Alliance Conference.

Xinghai seems to have known Jett for a long time, and after the two whispered a few words in a mysterious and secret conversation, Xinghai suddenly took out the four Pokémon eggs, saying that this is a reward for the four people who made it to the top four in the first competition.

I don't know what the old naughty boy Jett said to Xinghai.

Xiao Ye sent a sympathetic look to Xinghai, a local tyrant who was smiling bitterly, and then looked at the Pokémon egg in front of him with some distress. If Jet and Xinghai are old acquaintances, it is normal to give gifts to Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling, who are Jet's juniors, and it is natural to give them to their son Xiao Tian...... But what kind of embarrassing excitement are you making?

And it's such a valuable gift.

Xiao Ye, who stood tangled between the four of them, had an unprecedented desire to escape.

"Take your pick. Xinghai Dao, his expression was calm and there was no trace of reluctance, "It's just a small gift, I have a lot of Pokémon eggs, don't care." ”

The four of them ......were silent.

It's really a local tyrant. Xiao Ling secretly complained in her heart.

Since the owner of the item has said so, the golden retriever brothers and sisters, who have always had a free and easy personality, will no longer refuse. After thanking him, he stepped forward and tacitly took away two identical light blue Pokémon eggs.

"Xinghai kid who dares to show his hand must be good seedlings, you can cultivate it with confidence!" Jett put his arm around Xinghai's shoulders, looking like a good brother.

Although in fact, these two people are a generation apart.

Xiao Tian turned sideways to look at Xiao Ye, who was not moving, and cast a questioning gaze.

"That, I don't need it, there are enough Pokémon to accept. Xiao Ye hurriedly waved his hand.

I am not related to Xinghai, and there is really no way to accept such a valuable thing with a cheeky face.

"Oh?" Xiao Tian raised his eyebrows and picked up the remaining two Pokémon eggs.

Then, without saying a word, he stuffed one of them into Xiao Ye's arms.

“...... No, so ......"

"He's a tyrant. ”

Xiao Tianmu pointed at his innocent father with a face, and immediately reaped the expressions of the golden retriever brothers and sisters who almost burst into laughter and the black lines on the faces of the sea of stars.

"......" the corners of Saya's mouth twitched.

It's lost under it.

"Thank you, Mr. Xinghai. Xiao Ye held the dark cyan Pokémon egg and bowed to the sea of stars with some embarrassment.

For the first time, I felt that Xiaotian's language skills were so strong.

In a word, I didn't have the strength to resist at all.

Secretly rubbing and dividing the spoils, Xiaojie stuffed the transparent box containing Pokémon eggs into his backpack, "Ah, speaking of which, we're going to separate, and soon Xiaoling and I will go to practice with grandpa." ”

"I feel like I've been together lately. Xiao Ling blinked and couldn't help but sigh. It's not that reluctant, after all, there are many opportunities to meet in the future.

And with Ye Zhixin, even the phone bill has been saved.

"Xiaotian, Xiaoye, what are your plans?" asked Xiaoling casually.

"I don't have any special plans, I'm probably going to take another turn on the Quartz Plateau, right?" said Saya as she pleased.

"Xiao Tian wants to go to the Orange Islands with me to practice. Xinghai rubbed his son's soft hair.

The Orange Islands. Xiao Ye thought back to her memories of the area. According to the plot line of the original anime, the next stop after the Kanto region is indeed the Orange Islands, maybe you should have time to take a look?

"That's right. Xiao Ling nodded, and was suddenly stunned after two seconds.

For rookie trainers, the first league tournament they participated in after their debut was undoubtedly of special significance. This marks the beginning of the trainer's journey, and no one will forget the nervous and excited feeling they felt when they first stepped onto the field.

Therefore, Jett traveled thousands of miles to the Quartz Plateau to encourage his grandchildren, and Xinghai was present to guide and evaluate Xiaotian's battle throughout the whole process. Because, this is a crucial step in their growth.

Only Xiao Ye, who didn't receive anyone's guidance and help after embarking on the road to a trainer, has come to this point completely on his own.

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Jie and Jet, who were talking and dancing happily, and then looked at Xinghai Xiaotian's father and son, who had always had a tacit understanding, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Ye.

Although Xiao Ya only smiled slightly and couldn't see his emotions, whether it was in the past or now, Xiao Ling didn't know if Xiao Ya didn't care about everything as she seemed on the surface. Even the most calm and mature people may occasionally be lonely because they don't have family around them.

At this time, Xiao Yezheng was smiling and quietly speculating, what did the old naughty boy of Jett say coercively and seducingly, so that Xinghai suddenly bleed heavily and took out four Pokémon to give away.

Could it be that he used Xinghai's shameful black history as a handle?

...... In fact, Xiao Ye, who doesn't know what loneliness is, really doesn't care about the existence of his family.

And the brain hole is huge, the ideas are strange, and the ideas often deviate by tens of thousands of miles.

When Xiao Ling was about to say something, Xiao Tian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Come with us. ”

"Huh?" Saya turned her head in confusion. The silver-haired boy was staring at him, his ice-blue eyes as clear as the water of a lake.

Next to them, the golden retriever brothers and sisters were dazed and sluggish.

"Xiao Tian, aren't you going to practice with Mr. Xinghai?" Xiao Ye was full of question marks.

Xinghai didn't look surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Then how about you come and practice with us?" It's really a bit boring to have just the two of us every time. ”

"But ......"

The king-level Xinghai must have his own unique experience in training Pokémon, and this experience and experience is a priceless treasure for masters, and it stands to reason that it should not be leaked to outsiders. The words of his son's guidance to his son from an outsider ginseng who joined into the sea of stars - Xiao Ye suddenly felt a stronger sense of embarrassment than before.

So...... Xiaotian, did you eat something strange today?

Xiao Ye silently cast a desperate look at the silver-haired boy.

"Isn't that great, when we meet again, let's see which team has improved the most!" Xiao Ling grinned and threw herself on Xiao Ye's back.

Under the gaze of Xiao Tian and Xinghai, Xiao Ye finally nodded a little hesitantly.

Forget about the sea of stars...... Xiaotian's gaze gives people a feeling of "if you refuse, you will die".

"Thank you. Xiao Ye solemnly thanked Xinghai for the second time. Xinghai's seemingly casual permission represents something far heavier than a fluttering word.

Seeing Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian standing side by side, the blonde girl narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

That's right.

At this time, Xiao Ya, who was wearing a standard smile, was already in tears in her heart.

So, how can such a heavy favor be paid off in the future...... Although I am very grateful to Mr. Xinghai, but sure enough-

I want to run away.

"This is what you like, right?" Xiao Jie, who had not spoken, squeezed his eyes at his sister and whispered, as if he had known Xiao Ling's thoughts for a long time.

Although Xiaojie doesn't think that Xiao Ye will be entangled in this little thing, it is always much more interesting to have a travel companion than to travel alone.

No, if it's Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian, maybe it's no different from traveling alone? Both of them are overly quiet personalities...... Xiaojie complained silently in his heart.

So, on the first morning after the competition, the four of them separated at dawn. However, this time, instead of completely dismantling the team as before, the team was divided into two groups.

In the faint morning light, the black trench coat faded. The four of them changed back to their original faces and went away facing the rising sun.

This is the beginning of a new journey.

The above is the first sentence of the second volume, so it's okay to take it as a Tanabata congratulatory text [laughs]

Don't get me wrong, there is no cp in this book
