At night, the moon is shining brightly, and the sky is full of stars.

By a bright dark stream in the moonlight, beside the grass along the river, the walking grass turned a blind eye to Ash and his party, who were resting under a tree not far from them, and quietly disappeared into the grass. The breeze blew through the trees, and a few leaves were quietly carried down by the wind in the lush shade.

Sika is lying on a tree branch, while Ash and the others in the huge tent built around the tree below are lying in their sleeping bags...

Small campfires swayed, and large tents swayed in the wind, but filled with warm firelight. Lying on the grass, rummaging through the Pokémon Illustrated Ash's side, the little fire dragon and Pikachu were sleeping together with Masaki.

The three of them lay in their sleeping bags, doing their own things by the light of the fire. Eevee, who had just been subdued, was still lying on his stomach in Ash's sleeping bag, and the little fist stone at the door buried himself in the dirt, guarding the door.

The white sea lion leaned on Xiaoxia's sleeping bag and head little by little. Gently touching the head of the white sea lion, Xiaoxia sighed softly and said to Xiao Zhi, who was lying on the corpse over there.

"I said Ash, we've been around here for a few hours, and you've already met a lot of Pokémon that you like, but you haven't taken any Pokémon except for that Eevee."

Xiaoxia looked at Ash's lazy appearance a little helplessly.

"I said, it's good to cheer up."

Listening to Xiao Xia's slightly complaining words, Xiao Gang instead sat on the side and grabbed the Poke Ball in his hand, silently looked at Xiao Zhi with scattered pupils and sighed secretly.

Is it because I can't carry the seventh Pokémon, so I've been struggling with whether to accept the seventh Pokémon?

According to the Alliance's rules, once the seventh Pokémon is caught, if you don't decide in advance whether you want to stay on it, you will generally be forcibly teleported directly to the place where you got the Pokémon Pokédex, or to the location where you have already landed.

In other words, if Ash is an example, if he already has six Pokémon, the Pokémon captured by the Pokémon Ball are not allowed to be carried on him as a Pokémon Trainer.

He must teleport the extra Pokémon, or any Pokémon he wants to replace, back to the location where the Pokédex landed: the Oki Research Institute.

What does this mean?

After catching a Pokémon, there is a Pokémon that is destined to be temporarily left out in the cold, at least when in the wild, Pokémon swaps are not possible.

Xiao Gang also had to worry about this, and the final decision he made was... No decision was made.

Instead of becoming a Pokémon trainer, he became a Pokémon breeder. The Pokémon around him has always been accompanied by only Big Rock Snake and Little Fiststone, so there is no need to think about the seventh Pokémon.

Although Xiaoxia is a trainer, her own Pokémon that specializes in the water system are carefully selected.

You will also be in battle, and you will be tired in battle. I mean, go through a while

Water-based Pokémon are the most varied fighting styles. Often, as a trainer, you have to learn to face a variety of opponents, a variety of combat situations, and a variety of trainers' combat strategies.

And for Xiaoxia, there are only 6 Pokémon grids... In addition, the attributes are also consistent with the water system, so it is not strange to choose your own Pokémon carefully.

She has taken in a very cute Pokémon: Duck Duck.

A yellow, ordinary-looking one, with only three thick triangular flat hairs on the head that attract attention like dull hair.

It is now holding its head, happily lying in Xiaoxia's arms and sleeping soundly.

The Duck is a Pokémon with water attributes and super attributes, and is Kasumi's new secret weapon to defend against Pokémon such as flying and ghost. Xiaoxia wanted to take it in one go, but she didn't expect it to turn around, and a precise water gun almost knocked the Pork Ball out and smashed it into her own face.

This is a duck that is usually very stupid, but extremely powerful at critical times.

"What are you thinking about, Ash?"

"Nothing..."

He shook his head and put the Pokémon Pokédex down.

"Hmm... I think if I only have six Pokémon, it's enough, isn't it... The seventh Pokémon... Actually, it's not necessary. ”

The door of the tent was gently lifted, and the cold air poured into the tent, taking away the temperature a little.

Sika walked in calmly, walked straight to Ash's side, sat down silently, and leaned against the tree. After a slightly cold wind filled the tent, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia shivered together. Although he was lying in a sleeping bag, the low cold temperature in the wilderness area almost penetrated the sleeping bag and went inside.

This is a relatively thin sleeping bag, which Xiao just bought from the summer travel mall. Since they didn't expect that the temperature in the Pokémon Fields area was so cold at night, in addition to Ash, who was exercising day and night, and his blood was boiling, both of them had a feeling of standing in the cold wind in single clothes.

Xiaoxia was a little better, and caught the duck in time, although it was not fluffy, but it was quite warm because of the thick fat, and Xiaogang was a little miserable.

Even if his own physique is completely stronger than most adult trainers for some reason, after all, it is not the physique of Ash, which is already completely comparable to some Pokémon after cheating, and hot and cold can still seriously affect him.

So he decided to get a little closer to the fire.

What are you struggling with? 】

Ash, who couldn't close his eyes, had the focus of his eyes dilapidated a little. Sika could feel the entanglement in his heart even if he didn't look at Ash's eyes, and the bone spur on his hand gently poked the body of the tree, knowing that Ash probably wouldn't take the initiative to speak, so he was the first to speak after a moment of silence.

Ash turned to look, and the two tangled eyes met the two fiery red pupils that Sika was looking down at from above.

[Nothing. 】

Probably didn't want Xiaoxia and Xiaogang to know, he didn't speak, but used the waveguide induction to whisper to each other that only one person, one Pokémon could hear.

[Only you and I can hear it, what are you still worried about?] 】

[Afraid that I will say that you are naïve? 】

Its eyes were as unwavering as ever.

Although the meaning conveyed is easy to be misunderstood, there is no emotion-like calmness, and there is no irony in the eyes, serious and calm.

Ash didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

【... Ask your own Pokémon. 】

Sika tucked her eyelids.

[If you tell me anything that will make you embarrassed about yourself.] 】
