No.8 The person entrusted with trust
(2018.10.6 Revised)
"It's been a long time no see, Xiaotian!" The green-haired girl sighed happily, and the three of them gathered together to greet each other.
Although Xiaotian is the person with the least chance of showing up among the people in Zhenxin Town in the past year, he is a friend of the same age who was born and raised together and has long been familiar with him. Everyone has long been used to Xiaotian's cold face as if he is not a stranger. After all, this guy has had this precocious personality since he was a child, and Xiaotian himself is not as difficult to approach as his expression.
Xiaoyun expressed great satisfaction about Xiaotian's return due to the trouble of Zhimao's quarrels - finally someone can stop the annoying duo that can't stop once the argument starts. The natural iceberg face is simply not more convenient at this time.
Or it’s good to let the little fire dragon burn them? It’s really enviable to have your own Pokémon early on...
"After that being said, Xiaotian, how long will you stay in Zhenxin Town this time?" Xiaozhi's words interrupted Xiaoyun's mysterious random thoughts.
"Half a year." The silver-haired boy's answer was concise.
"That is, you will stay here until we set out on our trip?" Xiaomao rarely frankly put his mood on his face.
Compared to being entangled with idiots like Xiaozhi, it is better to discuss Pokémon knowledge with Xiaotian. Xiaomao thought so, and seemed not to realize that "engaging with idiots like Xiaozhi" was often started by himself.
The person who has always taught Xiaotian - Xiaotian's father, holds the position of one of the few first-level search officers in Guandu area and is no less than his grandfather. Therefore, Xiaomao can often hear new knowledge and opinions from Xiaotian.
Perhaps because he often travels with his father and has accumulated a lot of experience, Xiaotian is much more steady and mature than boys of the same age. In addition, Xiaotian is actually half a trainer whom his father gave him half a year ago.
"Since we have finally gathered together, let's hold a party!" The old naughty boy, Dr. Damu, suggested, "Just treat it as Xiaotian's welcome party!"
"Okay, okay!" Xiaozhi and Xiaoyun's response was extremely loud.
It was obvious that he just wanted to have a big game. Xiaomao took a step back because of the quarrel, but had no choice but to hold his forehead.
"By the way, call Xiaoye by the way." Dr. Damu smiled and turned to Xiaotian to explain, "Xiaoye moved to Zhenxin Town at the beginning of this year. Xiaotian, you probably haven't seen that child yet."
Xiaozhi and the other two froze on their faces almost at the same time.
Xiaoyun silently took a step back and lowered her voice, "Hey, what should I do now..."
"This... it doesn't matter. Xiaoye will definitely come out soon, probably!" Xiaozhi said nonsense in a cold sweat. If Dr. Oki knew that he and his group of people took the lead in messing around, Xiaoye would be locked in a cave, he would definitely be scolded to death.
"Well, what's wrong?" Dr. Oki looked at the three people who suddenly became quiet in confusion.
"No, no, nothing! We just went to Xiaoye's house and saw that she was not here, but she should have gone out and not come back yet!" The green-haired girl was shocked and spoke very quickly.
"Oh? Is that right? Then let her know when she comes back at noon and night." Although Xiaoyun was a little confused and excited, Dr. Damu, who has always been careless in researching things, did not care about these details.
Three hours later.
"Ahhhh, why haven't Xiaoye come back yet..." Xiaozhi squatted in front of the door of Dr. Oki Institute and let out a wail.
It was almost lunch time, and Xiaoye would really be exposed if he didn't show up again.
"Forget it." Xiaomao frowned, "Let's just explain it to grandpa. Anyway, there is no danger in that cave..."
Speaking of this, Xiaomao suddenly stopped.
The vague strange feeling I felt was finally captured by Xiaomao at this time.
No danger?
Why did the three of them think that the suspicious ancient ruins were safe?
Is it because of Xiaoye's relaxed and casual attitude when talking? But even if Xiaoye can see the appearance around the entrance, he cannot tell whether the depths of the ruins are absolutely safe.
In such a dark cave, it is almost a disaster to encounter any ferocious wild Pokémon, and there is no room for escape in the narrow cave.
And this is just one of all bad possibilities.
============================
at this time--
Xiaoye in the underground ruins was waving his hand, knocking out a super bat that rushed towards him, lifting the little guy with circles on his head and putting it in the corner.
"Sorry, the move is a bit heavy, I will be lighter next time." Xiaoye sincerely apologized to the sneak attacker, and then continued to walk towards the depths of the ruins with leisurely steps.
Left behind the "Fierce Wild Pokémon" sitting on the ground holding a swollen bag of head, she was crying without tears.
============================
In front of the institute, after listening to Xiaomao’s statement, Xiaozhi and Xiaoyun were silent.
Then, the brunette boy spoke firmly, "Let's ask Dr. Oki for help."
"Yeah." Xiaoyun lowered his head with some remorse, "I forgot that cave is not an ordinary cave, it has been delayed for so long..."
Xiaomao smiled. Only at this time did Xiaomao, who had always been arrogant, feel that these two young men who always look stupid are not so annoying.
The three of them turned around together, pushed the door open, and told the story of what had happened before in Dr. Oki's surprised eyes.
However, before Dr. Oki jumped up in shock and exclaimed, someone reacted faster.
“Where is the remains?”
The silver-haired boy looked serious and asked concisely.
"Hey? Ah, it's in the back mountain of Zhenxin Town..." Xiaoyun was stunned and said.
Xiaotian frowned slightly and quickly lifted the backpack that he placed beside him and carried it, "I have a way to open the door, please lead the way."
"Ah, OK!" Xiaozhi and the other two quickly followed Xiaotian and rushed out of the door.
Although I don’t know what Xiaotian wants to do, from childhood to adulthood, Xiaotian has always been the most reliable person at critical moments. Since he said "there is a way", he will definitely be able to properly solve the troubles in front of him.
Xiaozhi and the other two have habitually delivered 100% trust to him, even the proud Xiaomao.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Xiaotian--" After shouting this sentence, Dr. Damu watched the four children run out of the institute and sighed.
What a group of little guys who love to cause trouble.
If Xiaotian and his father's Pokémon are there, it's probably not going to happen. However, just in case...
Dr. Damu walked into the backyard and issued an order to "protect the children" to the empty place. Something moved slightly in the air - a red line turned into an electric light, rushing towards the direction where everyone was running.
The ruins of the back mountain of Zhenxin Town are unknown relics that Xiaotian's father recently discovered on an ancient map. The construction date is no longer verified. The only thing related to it is the stone engraved with special patterns in Xiaotian's hand. According to Xiaotian's father, it is the key to opening the ruins.
In the demarcation of the Alliance Tourism Bureau, the danger level of this nameless ruin is determined to be B-even if ordinary people have the assistance of Pokémon, they may be at risk of death.
According to investigations, there are a large number of traps targeting outsiders inside the ruins. Most of the ancient mechanisms were relatively simple, with falling caves, rolling stones, arrow branches and other mechanisms. However, for a nine-year-old child without a Pokémon, these traps are enough to hurt him or even dying.
Exploring and blocking the remains was a task Xiaotian received from his father. However, he did not expect that a slight earthquake a few days ago revealed the entrance to the remains, and happened to be discovered by Xiaoyun, which actually turned the situation into what it is now.
It must be quicker.
The silver-haired boy flipped his hands, took out a dark gray orb, and threw it into the air.
Amid the amazing eyes of Xiaozhi and others, the blazing wind stormed.
A burly body appeared in the midsummer sunlight.
============================
Small theater:
[Daily daily in Zhenxin Town]
Xiaomao: (Damn it) Hey, don’t you know this? Xiaozhi, you are such a fool.
Xiaozhi: (angry) What do you say! Those who say that others are fools are fools!
Xiaoyun: (covering your face) is here again... Xiaotian, please.
Xiaotian: (sigh) flame, spark.
Xiaozhi: It’s so hot!
Xiaoyun: Humph, let you quarrel again!
Xiaozhi: (I feel wronged) I know, I know, I just don’t make a noise! And why are you just burning me alone?
