"Xiao Mao Xiao Mao is the best! Come on, Xiao Mao Xiao Mao..." While moving forward, Xiao Zhi also heard the voices of girls coming from the front. They were cheering for one person's name together, that was Xiao Mao!
"This guy Xiaomao..." Although he doesn't remember much about the plot of the animated version, Xiaozhi feels that he will never forget this scene. That showy guy was so arrogant when he appeared in the first episode, and there was such a girl cheering for him. He was also very handsome and was even the grandson of Professor Oak. He was simply a winner in life.
It's just a pity... Thinking of Xiaomao's future development, Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh with regret. After the Silver Conference, Xiaomao gave up his position as a trainer and became a researcher like Professor Oak.
"Hey, isn't this Satoshi?" Just as Satoshi came to the front of the crowd, which was in front of the gate of Professor Oak's laboratory, a young man happened to walk out and saw Satoshi.
"Xiao Mao..." Xiao Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw the young man appearing in front of him. He found that Xiao Mao was still so cocky. Yes, this is how Xiao Mao looks when he has not suffered a blow.
"I have already claimed the last Pokémon. You came so late, so I don't have any extra Pokémon for you..." Xiao Mao held the Poké Ball in his hand and even spun it on his fingertips. He looked at Xiaozhi with his head held high and proud. This time, he finally beat him.
"It's not up to you to decide whether there are extra Pokémon or not..." After Xiaozhi glanced at Xiaomao, he walked past him. There was no point in talking to Xiaomao now, so it would be better to bring Pikachu here as soon as possible and cultivate their relationship.
"Damn, this guy..." Xiao Mao grabbed the Poké Ball spinning on his fingertips, looked at Xiaozhi's back as he stepped onto the stairs, frowned, and shouted, "I'll wait for you here. If you can get the Pokémon, then fight me. This time, I will definitely not lose to you!"
"Then you just wait..." Xiaozhi waved at Xiaomao without turning his head, making Xiaomao's face at the bottom of the stairs become a little ugly.
Over the years, the arrogant him has never won against Xiaozhi, and the only time he won was a tie, which he himself did not approve of...
Thinking of this, Xiao Mao lowered his head slightly and looked at the two necklaces hanging around his neck. One was worn for appearance, and the other was hidden under his clothes. On that one was hanging a half-damaged Poké Ball...
After walking up the small slope and arriving at the door of Professor Oak's laboratory, Xiaozhi rang the doorbell. Even though he was very familiar with the place, it was not a reason for him to act recklessly. He still had to observe proper etiquette.
"Xiaozhi? Why are you so late? Come in quickly..." The screen in front of the doorbell lit up, and Professor Oak appeared on it. After seeing Xiaozhi through the camera of the doorbell, he didn't waste any words and let Xiaozhi in directly.
"Excuse me, Professor Oak." Satoshi opened the door and entered the research institute. Professor Oak also came out at that moment. After seeing Satoshi, he sighed with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Professor Oak?" Although Xiaozhi knew the reason, he still had to pretend that he didn't know.
"Why are you so late... You've never been late once in these years." Professor Oak had no choice but to take Satoshi to the storage room and asked on the way.
"Wasn't there a King Challenge yesterday? I watched it too late, so I accidentally slept late..." Xiaozhi said in a shy tone. After all, this was a lie, and it was to Professor Oak.
Over the years, Professor Oak has been very good to him. Xiaozhi even feels that Professor Oak treats him no worse than he treats Xiaomao. Whatever knowledge he wants to learn, Professor Oak will teach him without reservation.
"To be honest, you're a little too late..." After arriving at the storage room, Professor Oak sighed and said to Xiaozhi, "The Alliance only gave me three initial Pokémon. Since Pallet Town is very small, three Pokémon are enough, but I didn't expect..."
"What didn't you expect?" Although Xiaozhi already knew it, he still asked, because he only knew one side of the story in the animation. He didn't know who received the other two Pokémon besides Xiaomao.
As far as Xiaozhi knows, besides himself, Xiaomao and another rookie trainer are the only ones in Pallet Town who will receive Pokémon today. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a shortage of Pokémon.
"I didn't expect that a kid from the neighboring town would come here to claim Pokémon..." Professor Oak explained helplessly. It turned out that there was also someone in the neighboring town who became a rookie trainer today, but there were some problems when registering in that town, which resulted in this trainer not being able to claim it, so he came to Pallet Town to claim the Pokémon.
This morning, the Pokémon Center over there called to inquire, and Professor Oak originally said that there was no Pokémon. However, that trainer registered earlier than Satoshi, and it was not an act of queue-jumping. It was a mistake on the part of the league that caused that trainer to not receive the Pokémon, so the quota had to be given to that trainer.
"Then...what about me? What should I do now?" Xiaozhi didn't expect the reason to be like this. He was dumbfounded for a moment. This was considered a mistake of the league, but in the end the trainers had to pay for it themselves?
"It's not like there's no compensation..." Professor Oak looked at Xiaozhi, "If you're willing to postpone it for half a year, there will be new initial Pokémon to claim, and the Alliance will also compensate you."
"How can this be possible!" Xiaozhi was unwilling to wait for half a year. He frowned and looked at Professor Oak. He felt a little anxious. Could it be that Professor Oak did not recapture Pikachu?
"How about this..." Professor Oak didn't want to see Satoshi wait another half a year. He was very optimistic about Satoshi and he also knew the difficulties in Satoshi's family. It would be too unfair for Satoshi to wait another half a year.
"I have a newly captured Pokémon here..." Professor Oak hesitated and took out a Poké Ball. "But you know, it was not bred by the Alliance, but was captured from the wild. It still retains its wild nature. Plus, you didn't capture it yourself, so it may not listen to you too much."
"It's fine if you choose it. The compensation from the Alliance will not be small. After all, this is caused by the Alliance's mistake." Professor Oak showed the Poké Ball in front of Ash.
"It doesn't matter, it's decided to be this one!" Looking at this Poké Ball, Xiaozhi couldn't help but be shocked. This Pokémon should be the famous Pikachu.
