"Hey~ Xiaoyan, why are you so late?" That familiar hairstyle and narcissistic tone could only belong to Xiaomao.
"Xiaomao, what are you doing here?"
"Good friends are showing off but don't even call me. So sad." Xiaoyan felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this. It sounded so different when Xiaomao said it.
"Xiaoyan, here's something for you. I just found it in the trash can. It seems to be a detection goggle. Try it on." Xiaomao threw the goggle to Xiaoyan and then walked towards the top floor by himself. After putting on the goggle, Xiaoyan followed him.
"Get out of here!" The voice echoed on the top floor. Then an unknown object appeared in front of Xiaomao.
"Kamex, use Water Pulse on that strange guy."
Kamex's Water Pulse quickly shot towards the object. But the Water Pulse passed right through it, and the unknown object remained unscathed.
"Get out of here!" The voice echoed on the top floor again.
"This is so annoying. The atmosphere feels really off. Why hasn't Xiaoyan come up yet?" Xiaomao recalled Kamex and stared intently at the object.
At this moment, Xiaoyan walked up beside Xiaomao, turned on the switch of the goggle, and scanned the unknown object.
"This is a Marowak!"
"What?! Let me take a look!" Xiaomao took the goggle from Xiaoyan. The unknown object gradually revealed the appearance of a Marowak, but it was still a ghost.
"Get out of here. It's dangerous. This is the bad guys' territory." Marowak said.
"So a ghost Pokémon can actually talk." Xiaomao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Wait, Cubone." A Cubone ran towards Marowak. The girl with double ponytails then ran towards Xiaoyan and the others.
"Actually, that Marowak is Cubone's mother. She was killed by Team Rocket a few days ago while protecting Cubone, leaving the young Cubone behind. Finally, Grandpa Fuji brought it to the Pokémon House. That's basically what happened." The girl with double ponytails explained.
Suddenly, Marowak pushed Cubone aside and floated up into the sky. Xiaoyan came to a conclusion: its grudge had dissipated.
"Our target should be that room over there, right, Xiaoyan?"
"Let me deal with them this time." Xiaoyan slowly walked into the room, and Xiaomao and the others followed.
When the door opened, they saw a man sitting inside. Xiaoyan immediately recognized the black suit the man was wearing. It was undoubtedly a Team Rocket uniform.
"Who are you?" A man in black walked towards Xiaoyan with a Golbat.
"You're not qualified to know. Go! Charmeleon, use Flamethrower." The Flamethrower knocked Golbat down in an instant. The man in black was shocked and recalled the Golbat, which had lost its fighting ability.
"I can take on ten guys like you at once." Xiaoyan showed his self - assumed handsome smile again.
"One day, our Boss Giovanni will deal with you personally. Just wait and see." The man in black threw a smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared, he was nowhere to be seen. There was an old man tied up beside the sofa, looking extremely haggard. Xiaoyan stepped forward and untied the ropes.
"Grandpa Fuji!" The girl with double ponytails threw herself into the old man's arms.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have..."
"Cough cough. You must be Grandpa Fuji. Let me take you back to the Pokémon House." Xiaoyan inserted the right words at the right time.
"Um... Xiaoyan, I'm not used to this kind of situation. I'll leave first. Next time, we must have a showdown at the Indigo League. Well, see you later." Xiaoyan watched Xiaomao's figure gradually disappear. After Grandpa Fuji and the others finished chatting, he took them back to the Pokémon House.
"Xiaoi, if you're okay, you can go out first. I still need to talk to Xiaoyan." After saying that, the girl with double ponytails walked out with Cubone in her arms.
"Young man, when I saw your eyes, I was sure of one thing. The things in this box are more suitable for you. So here you are." Grandpa Fuji handed Xiaoyan a deep - black box. When Xiaoyan opened it, he saw two stones that clearly weren't ordinary.
(Are these Mega Stones? And for Charizard? I must take them.) Xiaoyan thought to himself.
"Thank you. I still have to continue my journey."
"Come and play again when you're free."
"Okay."
Just as Xiaoyan was about to step out of the Pokémon House, he suddenly remembered something.
"Ah! I forgot about Xiaolan."
At this moment, Xiaoi brought out a cold - looking girl. The girl said coldly,
"Brother Xiaoyan, you just remembered me now." Xiaolan said unhappily.
"Sorry. Next time, brother will catch a Pokémon for you."
"Great!!!" Xiaoyan hadn't seen such a quick mood - change skill for a long time. Then the group continued on to their next destination.
To be continued...
