Chapter 117 Horse racing ~ Xiaozhi, you are so powerful ~
After telling the trainer what he wanted to say, Scorpio obediently sat back on the chair again, raised his arms and waited for the trainer to bandage him.
"Scorpion~Scorpion~!"
Seeing that his trainer was still stunned, Scorpio waved slowly, smiling and reminding his trainer to come to his senses quickly.
At this time, our Hoshino woke up from what Scorpio just said. Looking at Scorpio who was still smiling, our Hoshino also smiled softly and nodded, and then started to help Scorpio deal with the burns again.
"Scorpio, please give me more advice in the future. If I do something bad, please remind me."
"Scorpion~!"
......
After helping Scorpio deal with the last burn, Hoshino finally tied a bow on Scorpio's arm with a bandage as per Scorpio's request.
Looking at the bow on his arm, Scorpio's eyes brightened obviously. He raised it high and put it under the light to observe.
It seemed that it was because of the reflection of the light that Scorpio's eyes seemed to be twinkling with starlight. Then Scorpio looked at his trainer with a smile and praised the beautiful bow with a satisfied expression.
Without waiting for Hoshino to react, Scorpio turned around and left the room, jumping up and down to show off to Pikachu.
Hoshino was also a little surprised to see Scorpio being so excited about a bow. He didn't expect Scorpio to be so satisfied. He didn't know what to say for a while, but he always felt empty in his heart...
...Do I owe Scorpio too much...
Watching Scorpio's leaving figure, Hoshino couldn't help but start to wonder if it was because he was so bad to Scorpio and the others that he made Scorpio so happy because of a bow tie.
After all, Xiaozhi seems to have bought a lot of things for Pikachu, but he hasn't given many decent gifts to Scorpio...
Just when Hoshino was still thinking, Xiaogang's voice came from beside him, and he found that he was also looking at Scorpio's leaving back, with a slight smile on his lips.
Xiaogang originally came to guide Hoshino to help Scorpio bandage his wounds, but after seeing Hoshino and Scorpio begin to communicate, he silently stepped aside and gave the space to the two of them so that he would not disturb them. Now he sees They solved the problem by themselves and felt relieved. It seemed that they no longer needed to intervene.
After all, problems like this between trainers and Pokémon are best resolved by themselves...
"Looking at Scorpio's appearance, I think Scorpio will recover soon~" Xiaogang looked at Hoshino, smiled and nodded, "The burns you bandaged for Scorpio are quite good, I think Scorpio will also be very happy. ."
Hearing Xiaogang praising himself so much, Hoshino scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and then said quickly: "This is all because of your good teaching, Xiaogang. Thank you so much, Xiaogang."
"Haha~, you don't have to be so polite~." Xiaogang walked to Xingye, and then seemed to think of something. Xiaogang scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxing, I just heard the conversation between you and Scorpio, I'm sorry."
"Speaking of Xiaoxing, do you plan to continue to aim to become a Pokémon trainer? After listening to your conversation with Scorpio, I feel that you should want to participate in Scorpio's battle, right?"
Having said this, Xiaogang put on a serious expression and looked at Hoshino quite solemnly, seeming to care about Hoshino's thoughts.
Seeing this scene, Hoshino suddenly remembered that Xiaogang had also served as the gym leader of Nibi Gym before. In addition, Xiaogang had the same appearance as the master of Wu Neng Gym. He subconsciously remembered when he was questioned by the master of Wu Neng Gym. a feeling of.
I didn't expect that Xiaogang, who usually seems gentle and considerate, can be so oppressive when he is serious. He is truly a father and son...
Feeling the familiar pressure, Hoshino couldn't help but become nervous. He lowered his head and thought for a while before giving an answer.
"Well... to be precise, I just don't want to have to watch from the sidelines while Scorpio and the others are fighting..."
Hoshino looked at Xiaogang with a guilty conscience, and saw that Xiaogang was still waiting for the next step, so he mustered up the courage to continue, "So I hope that Scorpio and the others will no longer be allowed to fight alone, and I also want to be like Xiaozhi with Pokémon. Let’s fight together!”
The voice gradually became louder, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. After saying these words, Hoshino also opened his eyes wide, realizing his gaffe, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
After reacting, Hoshino scratched his cheek in embarrassment and laughed twice awkwardly, "Haha~, I'm sorry...Actually, I haven't thought about whether I want to become a Pokémon trainer and join the battle. It’s just because I want to help, and I have already obtained six badges. I feel a little sorry for Scorpio and the others if I give up midway..."
After saying these words, Hoshino lowered his head, pinched his fingers nervously, and stayed there quietly, waiting for Xiaogang's evaluation.
Time passed slowly, and Hoshino had pinched his fingers back and forth several times before waiting for Xiaogang's response.
"So this is ah......"
Hearing Xiaogang's voice, Hoshino raised his head cautiously and found that the seriousness on Xiaogang's face had receded and he had returned to his usual kind look. Xingye breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his answer did not arouse Xiaogang's dissatisfaction.
When our Xiaogang saw Hoshino's relieved look, he laughed softly, and then said: "Although the goal is not clear, as long as you have the heart to think about Pokémon."
"Since Xiaoxing, you are still a little hesitant about becoming a Pokémon trainer, then Xiaoxing, why don't you try other directions, such as being a Pokémon coordination trainer as mentioned by the owner of the Aju Arena before, or being a Pokémon coordinator like Pokémon Researcher or something like that, do you want to try targeting these?”
Xiaogang looked at Hoshino and showed an encouraging smile, saying that Hoshino should feel free to speak boldly. However, our Hoshino seemed to be looking at Xiaogang, feeling guilty and breaking out in a cold sweat.
"This...I'm sorry, I don't have any idea about these directions..."
"That's it..."
After receiving Hoshino's reply, Xiaogang didn't say anything, but closed his eyes thoughtfully, although in Hoshino's view there was no change.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Gang said slowly: "In this case, Xiao Xing, you should aim to become a Pokémon trainer first. After all, you are already heading towards this path. From now on, you can slowly make your way on the journey. Find your goal in the journey, after all, finding your goal is also a major meaning of travel..."
"And Xiaoxing, you don't have to worry, just take your time~." Xiaogang smiled and comforted Xingye, "As long as you keep thinking about Pokémon now, then no matter what your goal is next, as long as If you are with Pokémon, then everything will definitely come true..."
"what!!!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiaozhi suddenly heard an exclamation from outside the door, as if something had happened. Originally, Xiaogang wanted to continue saying something, but considering the situation outside...
Seeing Xiaogang looking at him apologetically, Hoshino chuckled, shook his head, and then followed Xiaogang out of the room.
After arriving in the living room, Hoshino found that Tomiko, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia were discussing tomorrow's game. When our Scorpio saw his trainer coming out, he immediately flew back to Hoshino's head and hugged Hoshino happily. .
Closer to home, after quickly understanding the situation, Hoshino also understood the current situation.
To put it simply, Miss Tomiko hopes that Xiaozhi can ride a small fire horse tomorrow to participate in the Pokémon competition held by the Latin American tribe on her behalf.
Because when the little fire horse lost control, Miss Tomiko fell to the ground while trying to stop the little fire horse. She accidentally broke her left hand and fractured it. Naturally, with this kind of injury, she would not be able to participate in tomorrow's game.
Just now, Miss Tomiko came up with this method to let Xiaozhi participate in the competition on her behalf. The reason was that Xiaozhi had stopped Xiaohuoma before, and she believed that Xiaozhi would be able to get Xiaozhi's approval and not be affected by Xiaozhi's flames. scald.
And Xiaozhi was not injured. Among the two people and one scorpion who stopped the little fire horse, the rest were injured, and only Xiaozhi was unscathed... How should I put it? He is a super newbie...
After hearing the general reason, Xiaogang touched his chin thoughtfully, then nodded with a smile, thinking that this method was feasible, and encouraged Xiaozhi who was still hesitant, "Just try it, we will also help you. ,Do not worry."
"Is this so..." Xiaozhi said with some uncertainty, turning to look at Hoshino, "Xiaoxing, what do you think? Do you think I should participate?"
Looking at Xiaozhi's gaze towards him, although he was still hesitating, there was still a trace of expectation in his eyes, which meant that he still wanted to go...
"Of course you can go!" Hoshino nodded with a smile, "I support you!"
As he said that, Hoshino clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture towards Xiaozhi.
Seeing everyone supporting him so much, Xiaozhi also showed a big smile and looked at everyone with a smile, "Okay then, I'll give it a try~!"
After saying that, Xiaozhi turned around impatiently and stretched out his hand to touch the body of the little fire horse, "Little fire horse, please give me more fingers...ah!!! It's so hot, so hot!!!"
As soon as he came into contact with the flames of the little fire horse, Xiaozhi's palm was wrapped in flames again like before, and he screamed in pain.
Seeing Xiaozhi once again calling Squirtle to put out the fire, Xiaoxia helplessly put her hands on the table, "Hey~, Xiaozhi got carried away again..."
Although he was complaining, he was actually looking at Xiaozhi with concern. Pikachu on the side also nodded in agreement and sighed helplessly.
"Pica~..."
When our Miss Tomiko saw that Xiaozhi was burned again, she called out the little fire horse angrily, then gently touched the little fire horse's chin with her right hand, and guided the little fire horse with a smile.
"This is a great opportunity~ If you cooperate with other trainers and win the championship, you can prove your ability~!"
Then Tomiko looked at Little Fire Horse tenderly and encouraged Little Fire Horse again, "It is my greatest honor for you to be recognized, Little Fire Horse, I leave everything to you~"
Feeling the palm of his trainer's hand on his face, the little fire horse also stared at Tomiko. After thinking for a moment, the little fire horse leaned on Miss Tomiko's palm and nodded seriously.
"Fire~!"
......
After settling down the little fire horse, everyone went outside and planned to start training overnight for tomorrow's competition.
Under the moonlight, Miss Tomiko stroked the little fire horse's back and confirmed the final preparations.
Feeling that the little fire horse was ready, Miss Tomiko looked at Xiaozhi and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Zhi, I will leave the little fire horse to you."
After finishing speaking, he nodded encouragingly at Xiaozhi.
Then Xiaozhi came to the side of the little fire horse again, supported the little fire horse's back, turned over, and suddenly sat on the little fire horse's back. This time, he was not affected by the flames of the little fire horse. Burned.
Xiaozhi stroked the flame behind the little fire horse with some surprise, feeling the warm temperature of the flame, which no longer burned him like before.
"Eh? It's not hot anymore?! That's great~!"
Xiaozhi opened his arms happily and cheered excitedly, but he didn't pay attention and almost fell off the little fire horse.
This behavior also frightened the little fire horse, and it began to run forward quickly. And our Xiaozhi really fell off the back of the little fire horse because of this.
Just before falling, Xiaozhi caught the little fire horse's tail in time, and then started to swing up and down like a flag fluttering in the wind... It turns out that the tail of the little fire horse can be caught. Yes, I thought it was also a flame...
Seeing that Xiaozhi made another mistake due to his carelessness, Hoshino originally wanted to save Xiaozhi, but then he was held back by Xiaoxia and Xiaogang.
Hoshino looked at the two of them doubtfully, but they both said that Xiaozhi was still getting used to the little fire horse and didn't need to worry about him.
Seeing Xiaozhi's miserable appearance, Hoshino gave a doubtful voice. After all, the fire horse's flames did not hurt Xiaozhi, which meant that there should be nothing wrong...
"Ah~!!! Help~!!!"
Hearing Xiaozhi's screams from ahead, Hoshino couldn't help but break out a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.
...Hmm... It should be no problem, after all, I am still so energetic... I guess...
