(2018.9.19    Revised)

Facing the crisp sound of birds singing, Xiaoye, who walked out of the door, stood by the street, turned around and looked at his new - or old - residence.

The house in front of me is a two-story wooden duplex structure, which seems to be a house that has been around for a while. It is nestled with a few tall trees, and its sloping light wood-colored roof is hidden in the dense canopy. Several small bobos are jumping on the eaves, as if they have built a nest here.

This old house located in the "outer suburbs" of Zhenxin Town is not small enough to accommodate a large family. However, after a rough look at each part of the room, Xiaoye felt that it would be more appropriate to describe this old house as less spacious than to say it was spacious.

There is only a small wooden table and a chair in the huge living room, and there is only a room on the second floor with simple beds placed in the style. The floor is covered with cold gray cement, and the snow-white sheets without a trace of decoration will even remind people of hotels or hospitals.

However, Xiaoye herself had no objection to such decorations, and was even very satisfied. If she really appeared in a warm and life-filled bedroom as soon as she opened her eyes, she would probably immediately need to rack her brains on "How to return the life I took away from me" and think deeply about whether her actions were considered murder or whether she needed to surrender.

She wandered around her residence twice, trying twice to reach out to touch the furry brown bird under the eaves. Unfortunately, she was too short after shrinking, so she had to give up after jumping around in the spot for a few times.

Facing the question marks of the Bobos, Xiaoye looked left and right with a calm look on his face, and determined the direction of the town center through the density of the building.

Zhenxin Town - As a former middle school student with a big hobby, she naturally heard about this term. The street signs on the street made her determine her location.

She silently pulled the task of "familiar with the living environment" to the top of the priority, overshadowing trivial items such as "making money to support the family and ensuring that she stays away from the streets of starving to death", "taking the first step to a new world - touching Pokémon", and then walked along the street with full action.

True new town [Japanese: Masara_Town, English: Pallet_Town], also known as "pure white town".

The town has a small population, and sparse buildings are surrounded by lush forests. The famous Pokémon scholar Dr. Oki was born here. After becoming famous, he returned to his hometown and established his own research institute. In addition, there is nothing to be praised in the pure white town - most of the young people who grew up here have gone to big cities to make a living, and only the elderly still stay in the comfortable town with fresh air, and happily formed nearly half of the population of Zhenxin Town.

Walking along the curved streets, sparse houses and stalls gradually came into view. As the voices came into my ears, Xiaoye finally felt like he was in a small town instead of a wilderness.

——Of course, this has nothing to do with the size and population of Zhenxin Town. It is purely that Xiaoye’s “loading point” is too remote. From the time she set out to seeing the crowd, she walked on the road for more than an hour, and even suspected that she had gone in the wrong direction and ran into the neighboring town.

This was one of the most lively times in Zhenxin Town. People walked out of the door one after another and selected vegetables and fruits from the stalls on the roadside, which felt like a small market. Xiaoye mixed into the crowd without any flaws, glanced at the goods on the roadside with a calm look on his face, and skillfully avoided the messy puddles under his feet, as if he was a residents of a town who was used to visiting the morning market without a business license.

——And my heart has fallen into a string of ellipsis because some fruits are too "different dimensions".

Xiaoye gradually passed through the market along the street, and his eyes fell on the ramps and railings that frequently appeared beside the steps on the street.

Even in such a sparsely populated town, accessibility is still very well done. This made Xiaoye realize that the development level of the region, or country, was obviously completely different from that of her previous life.

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiaoye suddenly heard a burst of exclamation from the front.

The two boys ran across the market, causing passers-by to dodge. The boy running in front had a brown hedgehog head, and the black-haired boy behind him was chasing him, still yelling at something. Someone touched the fruit basket on the side of the road, and the neatly arranged fruits fell all over the ground. The boys who were obsessed with chasing did not notice the situation behind him, and ran away shouting.

The owner of the fruit stall, the white-haired old woman, stood up in a hurry. Xiaoye looked at the blue alien fruits about to fall into a pit full of mud and water, and rushed forward and successfully intercepted the round target.

The old lady then breathed a sigh of relief, and took the fruit full of the girl with a smile, "Thank you so much - come, kid, give this to you."

Before Xiaoye could speak, a clean fruit was stuffed into his hand. The old lady's face was filled with a kind smile, and the young man thought about it, thanked the old man with a smile, and accepted the other party's kindness.

"Oh, child, you seem to be a naughty face." The old lady looked carefully at the person in front of her, "Have you just moved here?"

The girl recalled the appearance of brand new toiletries in the spotless bathroom and nodded calmly, "Yes."

"No wonder, I just remember the people in the town."

The old man touched the young man's head and showed a gentle smile.

"Welcome to Zhenxin Town, kids - you will definitely like it here."

After leaving the market, Xiaoye walked around the bustling area of ​​Zhenxin Town twice, bringing the general situation of the town into view.

After marking "80% completion" after the column "Familiar with the living environment", Xiaoye looked up at the eye-catching building on the top of the mountain not far away.

She thought for a while and felt that she had no reason to disturb Dr. Damu, so she temporarily put the matter of visiting the institute and turned her pace toward the forest outside the town.

There are many wild Pokémon in the forests around Zhenxin Town, but most of them are gentle and will not attack humans on their own initiative. Therefore, this forest often becomes a playground for children in the town. In the market, Xiaoye heard many adults complaining that their children were not doing their homework and went to the forest every day.

The sparse buildings gradually disappeared, replaced by dense bushes. She stopped when the forest's unique fresh air completely surrounded Xiaoye.

What I saw was a scene that travelers from another world could not imagine - there were groups of walking grass playing happily under the trees, and soon disappeared into the jungle; the little Lada in the cave heard the footsteps of the walking grass and looked curiously; the brown bird flapped its wings and fell on the branches, and its sharp beak collided with the skin of the tree fruit, making a crisp sound.

The girl did not continue moving forward, but just stood there, staring at a scene she had never seen before, as if she wanted to deeply imprint such a picture into her mind.

It was not until Bobo curiously circling over Xiaoye's head, showing that he wanted to peck twice and try it, that she smiled and continued to walk along the dirt road that the children stepped on.

A faint sound of gurgling water came from the front. Xiaoye accelerated his pace, and the leaping splashes soon appeared in his sight.

A carp king jumped happily in the stream, and the rippling waves were dyed red. Xiaoye carefully avoided the places where the fish gathered to prevent the fish from hitting the battered face. Then he leaned over slightly and let the clear water flow reflect his appearance.

The person in the reflection has long, soft, lilac hair, swaying in the breeze and gently caressing his face. Under the bangs, a pair of moon eyebrows draws a soft curve; and the light purple pupils are like the rays of the cold pond, dotted in the eyes under the moon eyebrows - it is a cold tone, clear and quiet, without any emotion.

In those light purple eyes, there was no liveliness and innocence that a nine-year-old girl should have, nor was there the panic and confusion of a newcomer. Only the calm ripples like a deep pool slowly surged in it.

It was a very ordinary face, even so ordinary that the gender characteristics could not be seen. The person's too dull and boring expression and neutral white sports jacket in the reflection exacerbated this attribute. If it weren't for the long hair over the shoulder and the increase of a sense of gender, Xiaoye would probably doubt whether his gender had also reversed with time and space.

When she just woke up from her deep sleep, the strangely colored hair in her vision really made Xiaoye feel a strong sense of unreality. However, after figuring out the world she lives in, she accepted the hair color and pupil color of her "brilliant self".

——After all, the people I met in the market just now were also very colorful, and the black hair and dark eyes became a very small group of people.

Looking at the person in the reflection, Xiaoye couldn't help but reach out and pinch his left face.

In her "Previous Life", there was a burn scar on her left face. This smooth touch was very fresh for Xiaoye. So the guy who felt the freshness added two more force on his hand, and squeezed himself as if he had just been slapped by the carp king's tail fin.

In comparison, the freshness brought by long shoulder-length hair has been diluted a lot - Xiaoye used to cut her hair short and never left her long hair. However, she never cared about her appearance, and after pulling the hair that was hanging in front of her, she no longer cared about it.

Pokémon, who was drinking water by the river, raised his head and stared at the human next to him with his black eyes. When Xiaoye noticed it, Xiao Lada had already slipped to Xiaoye's feet and sniffed around Xiaoye.

Xiaoye squatted down and looked at the curious Pokémon.

After a few seconds, the girl smiled and stretched out a finger to Little Rada, "Hello."

The little guy tilted his head and licked Xiaoye's fingertips in response.

Xiaoye seemed to understand the reason why the little Rada was circling around her. She took out the blue alien fruit she got from the old lady and placed it in front of the little Rada.

Pokémon, who was used to living with humans, picked up the fruit without warning and chewed it quickly. He quickly stuffed his cheeks with the flesh. Xiaoye took the opportunity to gently stroke Xiao Lada's soft back twice, and finally narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.

Driven by happiness, she stood up—

Then he was frozen halfway.

My long hair was wrapped around the branches of the shrub at some point, and it was rolled into a mess with weeds, which made my scalp hurt slightly.

Xiaoye: "…"
