On January 16, there was nothing to do today, and the size of the town was dealt with as usual.

On January 17th, there was nothing to do today, and he was dealing with the big and small matters of the town as usual, and he happened to pass by the Pokémon Center to visit Miss Marley, and was kicked out an hour later.

On January 18th, I had nothing to do today, and I happened to pass by the Pokémon Center again to visit Miss Marley, and was kicked out by Miss Joy and Miss Marley two hours later.

On January 19th, I had nothing to do today, and I happened to pass by the Pokémon Center and went to visit Miss Marry, but this time he was not kicked out...... He was left behind by Miss Joy to commission a thing.

"I hope you can take this child to a place......" Miss Joy explained, glancing at Da Duck, who was covered in bandages and holding his head in the ward, staring blankly at the white wall, "It was crushed under the stone slab for three hours, and its head was wounded. ”

"Hurt head?" Xu Qiansu looked through the glass at Da Da Duck, who was holding his head and was stunned, and asked, "Aren't Da Da Ducks like this?" ”

“…… I don't know which duck made that impression on you, but in general, a duck wouldn't look like this. Miss Joy sighed helplessly.

Xu Qiansu looked at her and waited for the following.

After hesitating for a moment, Miss Joy continued, "It has a trainer, and when I see its trainer, I hope it can help its condition." ”

Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned and asked, "Its trainer was seriously injured?" ”

"It doesn't count." Miss Joy shook her head and immediately explained to Xu Qiansu for a moment.

After listening silently, Xu Qiansu withdrew his gaze from Miss Joy's face, looked at Da Da Ya, and then nodded slightly, "I'll take it there, but what will happen after that, I won't interfere with ......"

"Hmm." Miss Joy bowed her head slightly, as she often mingled in the iSu forum, she also knew a little about the man in front of her, "That's good." ”

Xu Qiansu pushed open the door and said to Da Da Ya: "Let's go, let's go see him." ”

Da Duck hugged his head, slowly turned his head, looked at Xu Qiansu, and waited for a while before he jumped off the bed, stepped on the floor with his feet, and made a 'snap' sound.

Xu Qiansu didn't say much, and walked out silently.

Da Duck looked at his back with stunned eyes, silently walked on his short legs, and followed.

The little pouch also followed Xu Qiansu's legs, and she secretly turned her little head and looked at Da Da Duck curiously.

Seeing that Da Da Duck didn't pay attention to her at all, the little pouch beast slightly cocked its little tail and shook it in front of Da Da Duck's eyes.

Still ignoring her.

As a result, she didn't pay attention for a while, and she 'poofed' and hit someone's slender calf.

Ma Li picked up the little sachet beast, tapped her little head gently, and said, "Look at the road." ”

Then Ma Li looked at Xu Qiansu, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Take the duck to meet its trainer."

"Da Duck ......" Ma Li tiptoed slightly, and looked past Xu Qiansu to look at Da Duck behind him, revealing a somewhat clear look.

After working at the Pokémon Center these days, Miss Elle has an excellent memory and naturally remembers the details of each Pokémon accurately.

She looked at Xu Qiansu and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Just tell it the truth."

"What else?"

"It's gone."

"Not afraid of accidents?"

"It's its business what it wants to do."

Ma Li nodded slightly, Xu Qiansu is a very complicated man, although he always whitewashes his heart with bells and whistles, but if you look closely, you can find the persistence and gentleness in his bones, but at some times, he is extremely indifferent.

And Miss Ma Li never interfered with Xu Qiansu's choice, she just asked: "Come back early tonight, I sent a big jar of honey made by three bees next door, and I will make more honey barbecued pork...... When you're done, you'll send some more to Caidou and Sonya. ”

"Honey barbecued pork, don't lose weight tonight?"

"Who told you I was going to lose weight?" Ma Lidai's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her expression was a little colder.

"Who else in the world knows your diet better than I do? You've been eating significantly less lately ......"

"Secretly observing me behind your back?" Ma Li leaned back slightly, hugged the little pouch beast tightly, blocked her chest, and said vigilantly: "It's disgusting, your behavior can already be linked to the idiot, Mr. Xu...... Hmm, it's disgusting. ”

"I can't say twice ......that I am disgusting," Xu Qiansu smiled helplessly, "and I didn't secretly observe." ”

Ma Li ignored Xu Qiansu, she stretched out her jade finger, pointed at Xu Qiansu, and immediately waved her hand, pointing to the door of the Pokémon Center.

After Xu Qiansu left, she gently raised her hand and touched her flat and soft lower abdomen, and sighed secretly.

"Karui?" The little marsupial blinked, looking at Marry.

Ma Li was slightly stunned and let go of her forearm.

The little suppossile jumped down lightly, and immediately waved its little paw at Marly, before it followed Xu Qiansu on its short legs.

Step on the soft snow and make a 'crunch' sound.

Xu Qiansu led the duck and strolled through the streets.

The atmosphere was calm, no one spoke, and the lively atmosphere of the town was reconstructed in their ears, and it didn't affect them at all.

Through the streets and alleys, the lively sound gradually faded away, the crowd gradually thinned, the atmosphere became more and more deadly silent, and finally, I came to a cemetery.

It's an open-air cemetery, and it's afternoon, but the atmosphere is eerie, bringing a chill to the bones that is different from winter.

There was a faint, suppressed cry in my ears.

Thousands of people died in the town, but not many were buried in the ground.

The burial has its own set of procedures, it can't be so fast, and the people who could talk, laugh, and joke a few days ago are suddenly gone, and the absurdity of the intertwined reality is enough to make everyone unable to react......

The trainer of the duck is among them.

He was a thirteen-year-old boy, fatherless and motherless, an orphan who lived with Da Da Duck.

No family claimed the body, so the alliance buried it directly.

Xu Qiansu stepped on the stone steps, and Da Da Ya hugged his head, without saying a word, and followed silently.

It seems that wherever Xu Qiansu goes, it will go, even if there is a cliff in front of it, or a sea of swords and fires.

Sensing the familiar eerie atmosphere, the dream demons emerged from Xu Qiansu's shadow and wandered around the shadows of the cemetery.

Crossing the many tombstones, Xu Qiansu slowly stopped in front of a simple tombstone.

I say simple because there is nothing but the name and the date of birth.

There is no identity, no achievement, no epitaph.

For the first time, Da Ya looked away from Xu Qiansu's back and looked at the tombstone.

"The house collapsed, he was crushed inside, no shoes on, and he was in the entrance, but his back was to the door......" Xu Qiansu looked at the tombstone and said softly: "He may have fled to the door, or he may have just returned home, but in any case, when the house collapsed, he finally chose to run to the house......"

Da Ya still didn't say a word, it held its head and looked at the tombstone with stunned eyes, and I didn't know if I heard Xu Qiansu's words.

After speaking, Xu Qiansu stopped talking, and he looked at the tombstone.

How similar is the fate of this young man to his original body...... With the same dream of becoming a trainer, one died in the forest and the other died at home......

After death, even on the tombstone, there are only a few such insignificant strokes.

The duck finally moved, and it slowly lowered its hands holding its head, reached out and touched the handwriting on the tombstone...... Then leaned against the tombstone and sat down slowly.

Still don't say a word.

He sat silently in front of the tombstone, as if he was still at home waiting for his trainer to return.

Even if it can't wait any longer.

Xu Qiansu looked at it, neither speaking nor stopping.

A few days was enough for the Galar Alliance to count the corresponding casualties.

Lilia, who had returned to the Alola region, sat in her room, holding Bai Huang and looking nervously at her phone, her emerald green eyes reflecting the image in the phone.

But I saw a beautifully dressed hostess with a professional gentle smile, a soft tone, and a clear word: "...... Next, Miyamon TV will broadcast the latest disaster situation for you......"

"As of 5 p.m. on January 19, there had been 396 Galel particle riots in the towns and cities of the Galel region, showing an overall trend of attenuation, and there have been no new riots for 12 hours......

"So far, the riot has caused ......" The hostess's originally soft, articulate voice choked for a moment, then recovered as before, and continued: "One hundred and nine thousand sixty...... Sixty-four people died......"

Speaking of death, her voice was filled with a momentary suppressed cry, but there was still a professional gentle smile on her face.

"Twenty five million two hundred seventy five thousand nine hundred twenty ...... People were injured. ”

"More than 90,000 people lost their ...... Missing ......"

The young hostess snorted and continued, "Among them, more than 5,600 people died in the town of Tracing ......."

"Missing ......"

Mu Gang...... More than 19,000 people died in Woodpole Town...... People ......"

As she spoke, tears rolled down the hostess's cheeks, and she could no longer suppress her choked cry, but she still tried her best to report clearly.

"Nine thousand deaths in Cuixue Town...... More than 200 people......"

“……”

"In addition, the Pokémon died a total of fifteen thousand ......" The hostess raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and made up her makeup, she didn't care at all, she just choked up, but she reported it clearly.

“……”

"More than 65,000 people have been rescued, and more than 9,000 Pokémon ......" At this point, her words were no longer clear, and she was only choked.

She cried, and so did Lilia.

Hundreds of thousands of innocent residents, more than 10,000 innocent Pokémon, they didn't deserve to die, but that's how they ended up......

……

January 20th.

Miss Joy carried a food box, potions, and a scarf, and walked slowly up the stone steps to the cemetery.

At a glance, she saw the duck sitting alone in front of the tombstone, but it was just ...... The tombstone seems to have been damaged?

Miss Joy hurried over and walked to the tombstone, but she was stunned, and immediately could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart...... In so many days, how many lives and deaths have she seen......

saw that on the original humble tombstone, there was an extra line of crooked and twisted small characters.

The technique is very bad, the handwriting is not good-looking, and there is obviously no experience and technology in engraving.

Small letters are crookedly engraved below the boy's name as his epitaph.

It reads:

"An amazing trainer"
