Chapter 5 Father, Talk
For the scrapping of bicycles, there is only a fixed travel fund of 1,000 yuan per month.
There's certainly not much money left over after repairing the bike.
Xuan Hui still paid the miserable three hundred yuan to repair the bicycle and returned home.
A very ordinary second-hand house, located halfway up the mountainside, it looks like a house embedded in oak trees, surrounded by oak trees.
The structure of the house is said to be a four-bedroom second-hand house based on a demolished temple.
The environment is quiet and surrounded by mountains, so it won't be too noisy at night.
There are many Pokémon in the oak tree, and here, plesiotails and hedgehog insects often break into uninhabited houses and frolic.
Xuanhui grew up in such an environment until he was 10 years old.
When I was 7 years old, my sister in the family also reached the age of becoming a trainer.
The first Pokémon can be obtained at the age of 10, and this is already something that everyone in this world knows.
But when it comes to regular career development, there are still many people who work in different jobs.
Even if it is a profession of trainer, the population base of urban trainers is very large, and there are always only a few outstanding people who can really get ahead.
Held every year, the Hoenn Alliance Rainbow Tournament is a grand event of battle competition in the Hoenn continent for a year.
In this annual venue, which is broadcast live to the whole continent, the qualified elite trainers put their blood on the stage.
It is on such a stage that winning the championship can challenge the strongest five-member group in the mainland.
These five are the four former champions of Hoenn, the strongest four kings, and the champions of the kings who have been champions for many years.
It can be said that the purpose of the trainers is nothing more than to become a powerful trainer like them, not only in Hoenn region, but even in other continents, there have been successive champions, as well as four heavenly kings who have stood out.
These trainers are not only trusted by the citizens of the whole region with their outstanding personalities, but also have a great mission of protecting one continent with four people.
As a champion trainer, his leadership ability, strength, and charisma are much higher than those of the Four Heavenly Kings.
After all, the champion is the number one trainer in the region, and the only existence that is qualified to lead the Four Heavenly Kings alone.
Push the repaired bicycle and weave through the green walkway.
The familiar cabin gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
When he got home, the first thing he felt was a burst of snickering joy that it was the first time he had returned home since getting Pokémon.
It has been a day since he left home, and Xuanhui came back to say a formal goodbye to his family.
"I'm back."
Walking into the wooden house, the air in the house exudes a familiar smell.
The familiar furnishings stimulated him to bring back his childhood memories.
The sound of "chopping" in the kitchen was heard.
"Son, you're back."
A familiar voice sounded, and at this moment, the sound of descending stairs came from the stairs.
Soon, a middle-aged man with slightly dark skin, a broad forehead, a shaven beard on his chin, and a pair of monocles appeared.
This middle-aged man named Xuanwu is Xuanhui's father.
"I miss you."
Seeing his son, who had not been seen for a day, enter the house, Xuanwu came up and stretched out his hands, and hugged the slightly immature young man in front of him with his strong arms.
deliberately crushed the young man's immature face with the broken stubble on his chin.
caused Xuanhui to squint his eyes in discomfort.
"Dad!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The middle-aged man lazily patted the young man on the shoulder.
In the house, Haoli kept going in and out of the kitchen, and the lazy man hung from the ceiling, looking unreasonably lazy.
There is not much difference between the family and before he left, and the most obvious feeling is the day when Xuanhui goes out, giving people an intuitive feeling that he seems to have grown up a little.
"It's time to eat, dear." A woman's voice came from the kitchen.
Mary was walking out of the kitchen with the last of her dishes, and smiled sweetly at the sight of two familiar people standing in the doorway.
Quite a sweet smile, Xuanwu has been busy all morning, and he is not ambiguous when eating.
"The first Pokémon I got, it's it."
Without thinking, Xuan Hui took out the Pokéball and released the wooden palace.
"Poof~"
The white light flashed, and what came out was a small green wooden guard, very energetic.
Xuanwu observed the Mu Shou Palace for a while, and nodded slightly, "Well, the grass-based Mu Shou Palace, a Pokémon suitable for beginners, this Pokémon looks good, if you cultivate it well, it will definitely become very powerful in the future." ”
Hearing his father praise him like this in person, Xuanwu couldn't have been more excited.
This is also the first time that his father has praised him for his good choice, and his heart immediately ignites the fighting spirit of hard work.
"I'll try." Xuan Hui smiled.
"Okay, let's eat, we'll talk after dinner." Xuanwu said.
After a quick meal, the two hurriedly came to the courtyard at the back of the wooden house.
Because Xuanhui's mother is a jungle guardian, there are often some injured Pokémon in the courtyard that have not been healed.
Even if it is a wild Pokémon, it is only that these Pokémon are rescued by Mary, and they will no longer be hostile to their Pokémon.
There are still a lot of Pokémon in the courtyard, and some are new breeds, which may be some Pokémon discarded by trainers in some places.
Although they were abandoned by their owners.
But because the remaining feelings are not over, I have a kind and optimistic obsession with human beings to face it.
The afterglow fell from the greenery, and the father and son sat in the backyard.
Be silent with each other.
It should be said that both father and son have lonely and introverted personalities.
So I don't talk much, but more often, I put a smile on my face and care about the people around me with facts, so I talk less.
When facing his son, one of the most things he did was to tease him with broken stubble.
"Dad, after coming back this time, I'm going to leave tomorrow." Xuan Hui spoke.
"Well, I know, I expected you to say that." Xuanwu nodded slightly.
The lazy man in front of him slowly walked to the courtyard.
It just found a nearby bush and lay on the spot of light shining through the greenery, lazily breathing heavily.
"Boys should go out for a walk, Kimorinomiya, right?" Xuanwu smiled slightly at Mu Shougong.
Mu Shougong didn't seem to understand what it meant to smile at him, so he simply turned his head away and twisted his green tail energetically.
"Dad, Mommy, she..."Xuan Hui asked softly.
"Hmm...," Xuanwu frowned slightly, "I'll talk to her on Mary's side, and she should agree, and when Nao left her hometown for a trip, I raised my hand to approve of her going out for a walk." ”
"Sister, she also agreed with her father?" Xuan Hui asked again.
"It's me, girls don't always stay at home so boring, if I don't promise her to go out, she may stay at home mediocre until today, and when time passes, she will grow up one day, and she will find that the outside world is actually quite big, very exciting, and she will miss why she didn't come out when she was young, and he may blame his father for why he didn't agree to him in the first place, I don't want my daughter to blame me, so I promised her to go out, And told her not to come back to see me if she couldn't get results. Xuanwu said gently.
"No wonder my sister hasn't come back to play with me recently, and before leaving, she said that she would give me a gift when I was 10 years old." Xuan Hui complained secretly. "Hey, it turned out that he lied to me, my sister is a big liar."
Of course, Xuanwu would not know that the relationship between the two sisters and brothers was so deep, he looked at the beam of light shining through the green above his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his pupils, and he said softly: "I have seen her efforts on TV, and she has made great progress every year, and she can see that she is working very hard, and now she will send money home, it seems that she is very active in Kanto, and I heard a while ago that she has entered the top three in the league, maybe, it won't be long before she can challenge the Four Heavenly Kings or the champion in person." ”
"I know, sister, she works hard." Xuan Hui said again.
"Well, so you have to work hard, as my son, you have to be the best, and Dad has confidence in you."
At this point, he shook his head, thinking that he didn't have such good conditions before.
In the end, I am still envious.
"I'm going to try to do it well."
"Well, although the process is full of hardships and pain."
"The day you succeed, you'll find that the pain of the past tastes like a green apple, with a sour and sweet taste, and it's worth it."
Xuan Hui nodded next to him.
"I'll go the extra mile."
Hearing this, Xuan Hui squeezed a treasure ball tightly and swore secretly in his heart.
He understands that this moment must always be faced by himself, and the road of travel is not as simple as imagined.
To be honest, through a day of solitude, he also felt the loneliness of being alone with anything in the trip, but until he faced the loneliness, he could appreciate the role he played in this enlightenment, and he improved himself from his past self, and this was a good start.
Although the process is to experience loneliness, find a glimmer of happiness in loneliness.
And as long as there are companions around him, and there is the arrogant Mu Shougong, this is enough.
Try to face it and try to do better.
