When a few people walked to the edge of the pond, Ah Hong leaned down and asked the little boy, "Hello, are you from this island?" ”

As they looked at the little boy, the little boy was also secretly looking at them, and although his eyes were full of wariness, he nodded slowly.

"Sort of, I live in Okishima, but I often come here to play, what's wrong? Can I help you? ”

Just as he was talking, Xia You keenly noticed that under the water behind the little boy, there seemed to be a black shadow quietly leaving.

The shadow disappeared underwater in the blink of an eye, only to be caught by him.

And the boy seemed to deliberately cover this, blocking his body right in their sight, it seems that he didn't want them to find the shadow at all!

However, because the shadow was too blurry and there was a reflection of the water surface, Xia You didn't see what it was.

But at the end of the day, it's definitely a Pokémon.

As he thought about it, he felt Lijia's shoulder touch him slightly.

Turning her head to look at Lijia, she blinked at herself, and although she didn't say anything, it was clear that she saw the shadow too.

However, both of them tacitly did not show it.

At this time, hearing the little boy's answer, Ash couldn't wait to ask, "Since you are from here, have you found any mysterious Pokémon?" ”

This question was so straightforward that everyone except Ash could clearly see the obvious panic on the little boy's face!

"There's nothing like that around here!" The little boy replied dryly, but his eyes wandered, clearly lying.

This time, not only Xia You and Lijia, but even Xiaoxia, Xiaogang and Ah Hong also saw that something was wrong.

This little boy must know something!

However, in this regard, the careless Ash did not notice anything abnormal, but he obviously did not give up, and continued to ask: "Then have you heard any rumors?" ”

In the face of Ash's straightforward attack, the boy became more and more unable to parry.

"END... Not at all! ”

But in the next second, he seemed to realize that he shouldn't blindly retreat like this, and it was also for fear that Xia You and the others would not believe his words, so he forced a smile again: "Think about it, if there is really any mysterious Pokémon here, I'm afraid it would have caused a commotion and been captured, right?" So, I advise you not to believe those frivolous rumors. ”

"That's ......"

Ash seemed to be persuaded by him, and had no suspicions at all.

However, in Xia You's opinion, after the little boy's explanation, there was something that wanted to cover up.

Of course, Xiao Zhizhi has such a performance, which is not to say that he is stupid, but that he is too young, immature in thinking, and does not know how to look at people's faces at all, and lacks a certain amount of social experience.

At this time, looking at the little boy, Xia You still wanted to recall the plot related to Lokia, but the memory was too vague and the time was too long, no matter how he thought about it, he could never remember more details.

But what is certain is that this boy must be the key person, and it is even possible to venture to guess that the shadow who left just now may be Lokia!

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and smiled at the little boy: "After talking for a long time, we still don't know your name?" ”

Looking at this handsome big brother with a sunny face, the little boy thought that he had been fooled, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"My name is Shuichi, and it's just my Pokémon Lantern Monster next to me."

Xia You asked with a smile, "Then Shuichi, what is the identity of the Pokémon that just left you?" ”

Hearing Xia You's words, Xiuyi's face changed greatly, and although he was soaking in the cold pool, cold sweat still flowed down his head!

"I... I don't know what you're talking about......" he stumbled, "you must be mistaken, right?" It's always been just me and the light monster! ”

And hearing Xia You say this, and seeing Xiu Yi's behavior like this, the rest of the people realized that when they weren't paying attention, there was actually a Pokémon quietly leaving from here!

"Really?" Xia You's smile did not decrease, "But I just saw it clearly, just behind you, there is a Pokémon walking away." ”

"There's no Pokémon, you're really dazzled!" Xiuyi didn't want to talk to these people anymore, and after a hurried reply, he actually began to swim into the distance, and while swimming, he didn't forget to turn back and shout to Xia You, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I still have something, so I'll see you first!" ”

I escaped......

Seeing him swimming farther and farther, Xia You said loudly to his back: "Even if you don't say it, I know that the Pokémon that just left should be Lokia, right?" ”

Now, Xiu Yi can no longer pretend to be calm.

He stopped in the water and looked back at Xia You, wanting to open his mouth to ask something, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.

"Don't worry." Xia You said with a pleasant face, "Actually, we came this time to protect it from being captured by bad guys, and we don't have any ill will towards it!" ”

In the end, it was just a seven or eight-year-old boy, and seeing that Xia You was serious, he couldn't help but ask, "Really?" ”

"I didn't lie to you." Speaking of this, Xia You suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xia You, and I am the brave of the sea this year!" ”

"Brave of the Sea!?

Hearing this name, Shuichi's eyes widened directly, and it can be said that he was very surprised!

After all, for the children of the Vortex Islands, the Brave of the Sea represents strength and courage, and is quite respected and welcomed by the people here, and even in their hearts, the status is not weaker than the champion of the conference!

Of course, this is not to say that the people of the Vortex Islands are all frogs at the bottom of the well, thinking that the Heroes of the Sea can be compared to the champions of the tournament, but the influence of the Pokémon Alliance here is completely inferior to that of the Temple of the Sea, and because since a long time ago, no trainer from the Vortex Islands has become the champion of the tournament, so that the people here have no sense of belonging to the Pokémon Federation at all.

After hearing that Xia You turned out to be the Brave of the Sea, Xiuyi's attitude directly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he didn't even have the slightest suspicion.

He swam to the shore and suddenly found that the man in front of him had become so pleasing to the eye, and he no longer resisted him from his heart, and looked around Xia Youzuo, as if he was looking at some rare animal.

After waiting for a while, until Xiuyi calmed down a little, Xia You said, "Okay, now we can talk to each other frankly, right?" By the way, can you let Lokia meet us too? ”
