This time the boy had no way to avoid it, saying that the big needle bee had taken the initiative to lure away most of the flaming finches in order to protect him, while he leaned on the bushes in the forest and dragged them until Pikachu arrived.

Pikachu naively believed what he said, and dragged him to search in the forest for a long time, but finally did not find the big needle bee.

This is hard for Pikachu to accept, but he has to accept the underlying fact that the needle bee is likely to have died at the hands of the Sparrow.

In just a few days of getting along, although the big needle bee has a cold personality, it actually takes great care of it in his heart, and often flies high to pick delicious tree fruits for it.

For a moment, Pikachu's eyes were moist.

The boy also acted very sad, looked at Pikachu with a sad face, and told him that he no longer had Pokémon, and maybe he would never be a trainer again, and he didn't know what to do.

Even Akimoto couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, this little boy who looked like he was in his early tens, his acting skills were so realistic, if it weren't for his inadvertent joy, even Akimoto would have been deceived by him.

But Pikachu doesn't know it, he believes it, comforts the boy not to be sad, and finally even proposes that he can become a Pokémon for the boy himself, travel with him, and fulfill his dream of being a trainer.

The boy burst into tears and laughed, subduing Pikachu so easily.

Pikachu stole the precious electric beads left behind by the tribe, and it didn't dare to go back at all, for fear that it would be blamed by other Pikachu......

And the boy didn't ask these things at all.

Pikachu kept these thoughts in his heart and accompanied the boy through various regions, and with the help of electric beads, Pikachu made rapid progress and helped the boy subdue one Pokémon with excellent qualifications one after another.

However, all these happy appearances became less and less as it helped the boy to subdue more and more Pokémon, until the boy used the Pokémon it helped to subdue another Shock Beast, and it knew that it could no longer get the attention of the boy as before.

In the years that followed, Pikachu spent less and less time seeing the outside world, spending most of his time in cage-like Pokéballs......

Always ...... Even until the boy became addicted to gambling and sold one Pokémon after another through illegal means, it was the last to know.

Because the boy had long forgotten about it, and had been deposited in a small nursery in the middle of nowhere.

For so many years, because the boy left little money, Pikachu always ate the worst food, and sometimes even had to rely on other Pokémon in the breeding house to give it food to barely fill his stomach.

Even so, it has not complained at all.

That is, until the boy finds it again and teleports Pikachu back to him.

When Pikachu sees the boy again, he excitedly thinks that he can accompany him on that passionate and cheerful journey again, but reality strikes it head-on.

The boy asks for electric beads.

Because he ran out of money, he was in huge debt in the underground casino opened by Team Flash, and even though he sold all his Pokémon, he couldn't pay off the arrears.

It wasn't until the person who had led him to gambling in the first place appeared and told him that his Pikachu was a Pikachu with electric beads, and that electric beads could be sold for a very high price, that he realized that he had always had such a huge sum of money by his side.

Yes, in the boy's heart, Pikachu has turned into a thick pile of money.

Instead of a fresh life, a companion who has accompanied him through countless years.

The boy begs Pikachu to lend him the beads, but never says what he wants to do with them.

Pikachu was disappointed, but he agreed to the boy's request out of nostalgia for the past and gratitude for being with the boy for most of his life.

The generation of electric beads requires Pikachu, who has reached the yellow qualification or above, and has reached the master-level strength, exhausted his life power and condensed, and Pikachu, who inherited the electric beads, will completely fuse the electric beads into his body.

There is only one way to take out the electric bead, which is to spend your own life to fill the core of the electric bead in your body and recondense an electric bead.

The price is death.

But it has no nostalgia left, the race is incomparably distant to it, and it is impossible to expect the boy to return.

It's not so much that it's disappointed in the boy, it's that it's disappointed in itself.

The boy didn't know what price Pikachu had to pay for taking out the electric beads, but when Pikachu condensed the electric beads and handed them to him, he also clearly felt the lifeless aura coming from Pikachu's body.

For a moment, he regretted it.

He picks up Pikachu and takes it to the Pokémon Center, wanting to save the Pokémon that has been with him all along.

It takes his own life for Pikachu to remove the beads, but modern medical technology has been able to save Pikachu's life, as long as it is treated quickly within a period of time after Pikachu removes the beads, it is possible to leave Pikachu's life.

But it costs a huge amount of money, even more expensive than the boy's arrears.

In front of the money, he retreated and left without saying a word, holding the electric bead in his hand.

In order to prevent him from being injured by electricity, Pikachu used more energy to firmly seal the electricity of the electric beads, so that the boy could hold the electric beads in the palm of his hand.

When the boy sells the beads to the man who led him down the gambling path, the man asks him where the Pikachu is.

He kept his mouth shut, just pointed to the Pokémon Center, then took the IOU and left lonely.

The man looked at his departing back and spat on the ground with great disdain, then smiled strangely.

There is both ridicule of the boy and regret for Pikachu.

The man arrives at the Pokémon Center and meets the dying Pikachu.

For some reason, the man told Pikachu everything about the boy, and everything that Akimoto saw that Pikachu was not present was imagined by it according to the man's description.

Although reluctant to believe it, its intuition tells it that everything is true.

The kind and gentle boy is gone forever.

Pikachu watched the man leave, lying on a chair in the Pokémon Center, slowly closing his eyes.

Pokémon Center can also treat Pikachu, but who will bear the heavy cost?

Such a high cost, even Joey can't afford it.

People are kind, but whose kindness is worth so much money?

Passers-by came and went, only to show sympathy and pity when they saw Pikachu lying on a chair dying, but they never did anything.
