Pokémon, I summon my fists to attack you

pops up on the screen.

【Hanako sent you a video invitation. 】

Aunt Hanako?

Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then quickly clicked to accept.

Hanako's friendly face instantly popped up on the screen.

"Xiaoxia, oh and Xiaogang~ hello!"

"Hello, Aunt Hanako." ×2

After saying hello, Xiaoxia asked with a smile, "Is something wrong?"

Hanako crossed her arms and made a wrong gesture, "First of all, it's Hanako-nee~"

"Secondly, is Xiaozhi with you? I couldn't get through to him when I called him~"

"Yes, yes, he's warming up." Misty turned the camera to where Ash and Lillie were still training hard not far away, and shouted louder, "Ash, your mother is calling!"

Hearing the shout, Xiaozhi suddenly stopped what he was doing, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and he took a few steps to the communication device.

Without the terrifying pulling force, Lillie took the opportunity to relax.

She supported herself on her knees and gasped for breath.

"Mom!"

Ash shouted excitedly, a huge smile on his face.

"Ah~ Xiaozhi, who is that person behind you?"

Hanako's sharp eyes were fixed on Xiaozhi's back.

"Ah!" Xiaozhi turned sideways, revealing the girl in tight clothes behind him, and introduced her to Hanako: "This is Lillie!"

Liliae in the camera was a little shy. She quickly stood up, bowed politely to the screen and said, "Hello, Auntie. I am Liliae, Master's apprentice."

Master and apprentice?

Is this some weird role-playing thing?

It seems that Xiaozhi has reached this age~

Hanako showed a look of relief on her face.

"Dudu~" Then Hanako crossed her arms again and corrected Lillie, "It's Hanako-sister~"

"Eh?"

Liliae exclaimed softly.

If I called myself Sister Hanako, wouldn't I become my master's aunt?

She turned a questioning look towards Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's alright! From now on, we can just talk about our own affairs, master and disciple!"

Isn't that even weirder?!

"Hana...Hanako-nee."

Liliae hesitated for a moment, but still called out obediently.

Hanako looked at the well-behaved girl in front of her and winked at Xiaozhi.

"So you are Lillie, I've heard Xiaozhi mention you a long time ago~"

Xiaozhi's eyes flashed.

He smelled a lie!

Oh, I haven’t called home since I came to the conference!

How could my mother know!

Then there is only one answer!

"Mom, are you old and confused..."

"Hmm~!" Hanako shook her finger, interrupting his silly words. "Don't say anything that's detrimental to our mother-son relationship~"

She took a look at Xiaozhi's dirty clothes, then whispered mysteriously, "Change your clothes and go to the Pokémon Center. I have a big surprise prepared for you~!"

......

Hiro had just walked through the doors of the Pokémon Center.

"Ah~ It came really fast~"

A voice came.

"boom!!"

Then a burst of fireworks sounded, and colorful ribbons fell on his head, making him a little dazed.

Looking up, he saw a woman with long brown hair holding a bunch of salute tubes in her hand at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, looking at him with a smile.

"Congratulations on advancing to the finals~!"

Hiro came back to his senses when he heard the voice.

He slowly raised his hand and brushed the ribbon off his face, the confusion on his face becoming more and more obvious.

Is this some kind of celebration ceremony for the conference?

Is it possible to get this kind of treatment after advancing to the round of 16?

But...it's been three days since I finished the competition. Isn't it a little late to come?

Without waiting for him to ask.

An old man in a research suit with gray hair standing next to the woman also spoke.

"Well, the game is really exciting!"

"You are..." Hiro looked at him, his eyes widened instantly, and even his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, "Professor Oak!?"

I have seen several of his talk shows on Kanto TV.

Professor Oak has become very famous in Kanto recently. With his research data on resurrected fossil Pokémon, he has firmly established himself as the father of fossil Pokémon.

But would a university of this level actually take the time to watch their own games?

Hiro was a little flattered.

This kid...why is he so polite?

I even saw a hint of respect in his eyes.

Professor Oak felt a little strange.

But he still walked forward and patted Ahong's shoulder with a smile on his face.

But...looking at Xiaozhi like this is really comforting. Letting him participate in the tournament is really the right choice...

"I watched the competition. You did a great job, kid. I didn't expect you to have grown into such an outstanding trainer."

Da Mu couldn't help but sigh.

After all, since him, there has been no famous figure in Pallet Town.

There were two people from Pallet Town among the top 16 in this tournament, which made him very proud.

"Huh! An outstanding trainer? Him?"

A voice with a hint of disdain suddenly sounded.

The excited Hiro then noticed that there was someone following Professor Oak.

This is a young man with a spiky hair and a frivolous expression. He is standing with his hands on his hips, looking at him with an expression that says you are going to be in big trouble.

only....

The bruise on his left eye made him look a bit comical for some reason.

Seeing that Xiaozhi's attention was focused on his eye sockets, Xiaomao's eyebrows suddenly raised and his tone became even more unfriendly.

"To think you made it to the top 16 like me really lowers the value of this tournament!"

Hearing this, Ahong was not angry at all. Instead, he looked worried. He pointed at Xiaomao's eyes and asked, "Are your eyes... okay?"

Hiro rubbed his head unconsciously.

For some reason, when he saw the dark circles under the eyes of the person in front of him, his head started to ache slightly...

"Huh? Who do you think I am?" Xiao Mao had a stubborn look on his face, and his neck stiffened. "How could anything happen to me, Xiao Mao!"

Thinking of that woman, he touched his eye sockets and clenched his teeth, "It's just a thief who attacked me when I wasn't paying attention!"

Thief? Sneak attack?

Hiro recalled the two times he was beaten to the point of losing his memory, and a flash of resentment flashed in his eyes as he said bitterly, "I understand!!"

The two looked at each other, and when their eyes met, a feeling of mutual appreciation arose in their hearts.

Cherish each other?

What a strange thing!

Xiao Mao was a little confused. Why did Xiao Zhi look so pleasant today? He actually didn't make anyone want to jump on him at all...

"The conference has been quite turbulent lately." Hiro, feeling close to her, said unconsciously, "You'd better be careful about that... that..."

He paused and said, "Hiss~ What did that person look like?"

He couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Green hair?"

Xiao Maofu was enlightened and asked tentatively.

"Yes! It's Green Hair!"

Ahong excitedly took a step forward and shook Xiaomao's hand tightly.

Look at this reaction...

Could it be that I had wronged him?

That woman has nothing to do with him?

Xiao Mao's face looked a little unnatural, and he actually felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart.

Professor Oak looked at the scene with a smile.

After all, this conference made the two of them more mature.

To be honest, what he was most worried about during the conference was that the two of them would dislike each other and start sniping at each other.

However, contrary to Dr. Oak's expectations, it seemed that what he was worried about would not happen.

Seeing the big boy in front of me.

Hanako, with tears in her eyes, stroked Hiro's dog head.

"My child... you have finally grown up. It seems that you have not only learned how to coax little girls, but you have also matured."

"child?"

Hiro was stunned. He subconsciously tilted his head slightly and his eyes met Hanako's tearful eyes.

He finally understood where the incongruity lay.

This is obviously mistaking himself for someone else!

"I'm not yours..."

He opened his mouth to explain, but before Hiro could finish his words, he was interrupted by a familiar voice calling out.

"mom?!"

Xiaozhi and his friends arrived late and just happened to see this scene.

my child?
