Eye of Darkness

The next second, Zoroa jumped into the air and turned into a Pikachu, a perfect Pikachu without Zoroa's original red and white tail.

Seeing this, Yan Ming paused slightly and rubbed Zoroa's head.

"Zoroa, you can change whatever you want, as long as it's not too heavy. After all, if you are too heavy, I won't be able to hold it."

"I know, Ming."

Soraya agreed, but had no intention of changing his current appearance.

Yan Ming sighed helplessly.

Really, my obsession with Pikachu because of Ash's spirit actually let Zoroa know about my old face~

Katig looked at Soraya's transformed Pikachu and took a step back imperceptibly.

That time on the trial island, when he was electrocuted by a group of Pikachus, Cady Dog still remembered the tragic situation of Yan Ming.

Seeing the movements of the Kati dog, Soraya smiled evilly and approached the Kati dog, which made the Kati dog tremble, fearing that if Soraya could not control it well, it would give him an electric shock.

Yan Ming was very satisfied with the friendly interactions between the elves. After looking at the remaining minutes, Yan Ming sighed deeply.

"Okay, let's rest later."

.....

Kuye City is a prosperous city in the Kanto region, located at the southern estuary. It is one of the largest port cities in the entire Kanto, and it is also the largest commercial district. It is one of the rich and developed areas in the Kanto region.

Standing on the crowded street, Yan Ming looked at the Pikachu transformed by Zoroa who was following him, and suddenly felt a little at a loss in his heart.

Due to the attack by Team Rocket and Team SK, the Santo Anu needed to dock for maintenance. After Xiaomao arrived in Kuye City, he headed for the gym, while the alliance represented by Watanabe stayed behind.

After some people guarded the San Teanu, they left.

When Yan Ming left, the captain had a final chat with Yan Ming about family matters. In order to enhance the relationship between the two, the captain had asked more than once about the breeder who made the energy cubes, but Yan Ming had to deal with them all.

Already.

Now that Yan Ming has arrived at his destination, he knows that he now needs to wait for follow-up contact from Team Rocket, and before waiting for contact, Yan Ming can allocate this time at will.

"What should we do..."

My illustrated book has not been updated yet, and some trainer benefits are not yet available. The gym is also temporarily unable to challenge and obtain medals. I need to wait for follow-up tasks in Dead Leaf City, so I cannot leave Dead Leaf City for the time being.

And because he was in the city, Yan Ming's previous training arrangements could not be carried out.

And just when Yan Ming was thinking about where to go now, a voice sounded in his ears.

"Kid, are you separated from your family?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ming turned and looked in the direction of the source of the sound. It turned out to be Ms. Junsha with the katy dog.

"Miss Junsha, I am not a child."

Yan Ming was speechless. This was the first time.

At this time, Junsha also noticed a Pikachu standing on Yan Ming's shoulder. She seemed to have thought of something and smiled softly.

"Well, it turns out that little brother is a trainer. I see that little brother, you are standing still here. Little brother, you are from out of town."

Although Yan Ming didn't like the other person's title of little brother, he still nodded.

"Is that so? Then this is for you."

With that said, Junsha took out a card from her waist.

"If you insert this data card into the illustrated book, you can load the map of Dead Leaf City. The Elf Center and Gym are marked on it."

Yan Ming heard the words and took the card.

This thing is useful.

Yan Ming raised his eyes to look at Junsha and spoke softly.

"Thanks."

Junsha rubbed Yan Ming's hair and laughed.

"You're welcome. You little bastards who have just started adventuring don't know how to go to the Elf Center to pick up the map every time, which wastes a lot of time."

"Especially every time you arrive in a city, you don't replenish resources. As a result, when you are in the wild, you are missing something here and there, which is really not worry-free."

Yan Ming imperceptibly avoided Jun Sha's rubbing and smiled and said he would pay attention to it in the future.

"I also have a child about your age who started adventuring this year. Oh, by the way, he is a little boy. He is usually very naughty at home. He clamors about becoming a Pokémon master every day."

Junsha seemed to have thought of some funny scene, and laughed.

"Really, that guy didn't realize that he couldn't take care of himself every day, and he still wanted to take risks. Hey~ I thought he would take risks for a few days and then come back crying, but I didn't expect... It's really long.

It’s too big.”

As Jun Sha said that, she saw Yan Ming's smile and smiled slightly.

The child in front of her had a smile that really looked like that of her adventurous child, which made her couldn't help but talk more.

"Okay, I won't be nagging anymore. I wish you a smooth trip."

With that said, Junsha turned around and left Yan Ming's sight.

Looking at Junsha leaving, Yan Ming fiddled with the card in his hand, his smile gradually faded, his eyes gradually became dark, and he stood there in silence for a long time.

....baffling.......

Yan Ming inserted the card into the illustrated book and found an elf park. He was going to go there to let Flash Ghost practice Zoroa's illusion ability.

The park is not very big, but there are a lot of water elves in it, including Squirtle from Yu San, whose aptitudes are generally green.

But Yan Ming has no desire to conquer. What he lacks now is not the spirit, but growth.

What's more, the elves here are probably specially placed here to be the front of the city. If you want to collect them, someone will probably stop them. After all, there are so many elves with green qualifications.

After arriving at a lake with fewer people, Yan Ming mentally asked Flash Ghost to sneak into Zoroa's shadow and provide guidance.

And Soraya was also held in Yan Ming's arms, closing his eyes and feeling the bursts of mental fluctuations coming from the flash ghost.

Yan Ming sat on the bench, looked at Soraya who was practicing in his arms, and sighed softly.

What should I do...it seems very late now...

At this time, Yan Ming noticed a small push cart shop nearby, which was an ice cream shop.

Yan Ming was a little surprised. You should know that it was already almost ten o'clock. Is there anyone selling goods from a cart so late? Although Kuye City is also very lively at night.

The boy in shorts standing behind the small shop seemed to have noticed Yan Ming, who was alone on the bench and looking at him.

After scratching the back of his head, the boy pushed the cart to Yan Ming and smiled.

"Kid, it's so late, why don't you go home?"

Yan Ming was a little surprised by the other party's conversation, but after thinking about it he answered.

"I am an elf trainer and I train elves here."

With that said, Yan Ming lifted Pikachu with his eyes closed.

The young man looked at the Pikachu in Yan Ming's hand, his eyes lit up, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Yan Ming.

"Well, the trainer is great, and Pikachu looks like he's working hard... Do you need an ice cream? It's delicious. It's made with milk from a big milk can.

Especially on summer nights, eating ice cream will give you a unique flavor~"

After the young man heard Yan Ming say that he was a trainer, he was very excited. After all, he was saving money to buy elf eggs.

But after seeing Yan Ming sitting here without any movement and without any travel equipment, and then thinking about Yan Ming's sigh just now, he started to make assumptions in his mind.

So he scratched his head, thought about it and asked.

Yan Ming looked at the honest-looking young man, and then at the snow-white cube-shaped ice cream that the young man pointed at, inserted in the cart.

He felt that the other party was just looking at him and wanted to sell him. Although he also wanted to eat and eat, it was a pity that his alliance coins were still in the illustrated book, and the boy in front of him was probably not a trainer, so there was nothing he could do about it.

Conducting online transactions, but I haven't gone to the Elf Center to exchange some cash, so I can't buy it.

"Forget it, I don't have money to buy your ice cream."

Yan Ming shook his head.

The young man was slightly stunned when he heard Yan Ming's words, and then smiled softly.

"That's it. How about I buy you a share? Just let me touch Pikachu."

Yan Ming was slightly startled when he heard this, then looked up at the young man's serious expression. After thinking about it, Yan Ming nodded and handed Zoroa in his arms to the young man.

Seeing this, the young man smiled, and then touched Zoroa's transformed Pikachu with a satisfied expression. However, Zoroa was training in the spiritual world at this time and did not notice the situation in the outside world, so he did not know that he was being spoken to.

Ming is sold.

After touching Soraya for a while, the young man handed Soraya back to Yan Ming, and also handed the ice cream on the trolley to Yan Ming.

"Eat and see, it's delicious."

Yan Ming looked at the white ice cream in the young man's hand under the cold moonlight. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand to take it.

"Thanks."

Yan Ming was a little confused. Did the other party really just touch Soraya and give him an ice cream...

When the young man saw Yan Ming taking it, he smiled.

"Try it, it's really delicious."

Yan Ming heard the young man's words, looked at the sincerity in his eyes, thought about it, and took a bite of the ice cream.

The sweet, smooth and tender ice cream melts in the mouth, bringing a bit of coolness, and slides into the mouth. A slight icy texture, and a fragrant milk smell spreads between the mouth, making people feel lingering.

"tasty."

Yan Ming looked at the young man and praised him seriously while finishing the ice cream in three strokes.

When the young man heard Yan Ming's compliment, he smiled, revealing two sharp tiger teeth.

"Yeah, my ice cream is very delicious. Do you want to have another one? This is my..."

"Why."

Yan Ming interrupted the other person's words and looked at the boy who looked at him because of his interruption with a complicated expression.

"what why?"

The young man blinked his eyes in confusion.

"Why are you giving me food for free... We don't know each other."

Hearing Yan Ming's question, the young man showed a look of enlightenment, and then smiled.

"Ah? That's it... I just think you should go home, little brother. Although I don't know why you are sulking here alone, but it is not good to run out alone with the elf at night. What if there are bad guys?

manage."

Hearing the young man's answer, Yan Ming curled his lips speechlessly.

"I'm really a trainer..."

The young man nodded.

"I know, I know, but it's already very late now. If you don't go home, the people who care about you will worry."

As he spoke, the young man touched the tip of his nose.

"Actually, I can understand you very well. I often run away alone because I have been wronged. But since I saw my family looking for me anxiously, I have never done that again. After all, family members love me no matter what.

your...."

Yan Ming finally understood that the other party thought that he was the kind of kid who ran away alone after being wronged...

However, listening to the young man's chatter, Yan Ming simply did not interrupt the other person and let the other person talk. He and the other person were not on the same channel at all. I really don't know how the other person's imagination is so rich...

And just when the boy was about to say something else, a voice came from far away.

"You bastard! Go home quickly!"

The source of that voice was an old man. The old man had a kind expression, but his tone was very stern.

The young man curled his lips after hearing that voice.

"knew!"

After replying to the old man, the young man took another ice cream and stuffed it into Yan Ming's hand.

"Go home early."

He said hello and left with the trolley.

Looking at the young man's fast running figure, Yan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but when he put the ice cream in his hand, Yan Ming's eyes were a little complicated.

It's a good intention after all, isn't it...but to go home...

After looking at it for a long time, I realized that the ice cream was melting when I felt the cool touch on my hand.

He hurriedly put the ice cream in his mouth, and when Yan Ming came back to his senses, he couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of his current actions.

It's really...a bit baffling...
