Taking the Poké Ball from Professor Oak, Xiaozhi took a deep breath, lightly enlarged it, and threw it out, "Come out, my friend!"
The Poké Ball flew out of his hand, spun in the air, and suddenly opened. A white light emerged from it and landed on the ground in front of him, condensing into the outline of a petite Pokémon. Then the white light dispersed, and a very cute and small Pokémon appeared in front of Professor Oak and Satoshi.
"Pika...Pika?" The little Pokémon asked in a puzzled voice. He looked up at Professor Oak, then at Satoshi, and finally realized that his Poké Ball was in the hands of this human child.
The Pokémon has yellow fur and long ears with black tips. What is eye-catching is the red marks on both sides of its cheeks, but in fact, these are electric sacs from which powerful lightning can burst out.
There are two brown stripes on its back, and underneath is a lightning-shaped tail with a patch of brown hair where it connects to the body.
It's Pikachu, the electric mouse!

"Achievement achieved... Obtained the initial Pokémon, and was rewarded with 1 draw."
"New features are enabled, achievements are enabled, and target tasks are enabled."
At this moment, a mixed mechanical sound rang in Xiaozhi's mind, which made Xiaozhi startled. Then he realized that this was the system!
Although he had never heard the system voice before, it was no surprise that this was the system's voice. However, Xiaozhi did not have time to check it out now. He needed to say hello to the Pikachu in front of him, also known as Pikachu.
"Hello, Pikachu, my name is Xiaozhi and I'm your future friend. Please take care of me..." Xiaozhi half squatted down and stretched out his hand to Pikachu with a smile.
Xiaozhi knew that this Pikachu was not friendly to strangers, and might even suffer an electric shock because of his actions, but Xiaozhi still did it because he needed to let Pikachu know that he had no ill will towards him!
"Wait, don't..." Professor Oak spoke quickly, trying to stop Satoshi's actions. Satoshi's rash actions might alert Pikachu, and at this time, Pikachu would use electric shock.
However, the next scene surprised Professor Oak. He looked at Pikachu and Satoshi in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that Pikachu... didn't even electrocute Satoshi!
Pikachu tilted his head and looked at Xiaozhi, then looked at Xiaozhi's outstretched right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put his tail on Xiaozhi's right hand.
When Xiaozhi saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter. He knew that Pikachu was willing to use its tail to shake hands not because it was looking down on him, but because it was truly willing to communicate with him.
"Although we are not very familiar with each other now, I believe that we will soon become familiar with each other and become good friends." After letting go of his hand, Xiaozhi said to Pikachu seriously.
Only if you treat Pokémon sincerely will Pokémon open their hearts to accept your trainer. This is what Ash learned from Professor Oak.
"Pika..." Pikachu seemed a little embarrassed. He nodded slightly and turned his head away, but he did not reject Xiaozhi's kindness. He felt kindness and an inexplicable feeling from Xiaozhi.
"So, Professor, Pikachu has accepted me, so do I become a real trainer?" Xiaozhi looked up at Professor Oak and asked.
"No...that's right..." Professor Oak came back to his senses and looked at Ash in surprise. It's not like he had let Pikachu interact with other people before, but he had never let Pikachu get in touch with other people as harmoniously as he did with Ash the first time they met.
Even for him, the relationship between him and Pikachu is no more than the relationship between Ash and Pikachu. You know, he has been taking care of Pikachu for some time.
"Well... Doctor, don't you have something to give me?" Xiaozhi looked at the dazed Professor Oak and could only remind him.
"Yes, yes!" Professor Oak finally came back to his senses, nodded repeatedly, went to the table beside him, picked up a red mechanical booklet, and six blank Poké Balls.
"This is a Pokémon encyclopedia. In addition to being able to identify Pokémon, it also contains information about you as a trainer. You'll need this encyclopedia whether you're challenging at a gym or staying at a Poké Center. You must keep it properly. If it's damaged, contact me immediately." Professor Oak reminded.
"I know!" Xiaozhi already knew these things. He nodded and took the pokémon and Poké Ball from the professor.
"Also... the alliance's compensation has been paid into your account. The alliance will compensate you 3,000 yuan every month for a period of one year." Dr. Oak said.
"Really?!" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up when he heard the compensation. Three thousand yuan per month, that is thirty-six thousand yuan a year. This is not a small amount of money for Xiaozhi. You know, his mother Hanako works at the ranch and only earns a little over twenty thousand a year.
Originally, Xiaozhi was a little worried about the cost of training Pokémon in the future and what to do with daily expenses, but now that he has this money, it can't be said to be completely enough, but he doesn't have to worry too much.
"Okay, put away Pikachu. It's time for you to set off. Didn't you decide to challenge this year's Quartz Conference?" Professor Oak smiled slightly. In fact, the compensation from the alliance was originally for half a year, but he made a temporary decision to sponsor Satoshi for half a year himself, making up a full year.
He has seen many trainers, so he believes in Satoshi's potential and doesn't want to see Satoshi being buried. Satoshi has the potential to become a trainer at the level of the Elite Four, and there is even hope for him to become the champion!
"Thank you, Professor." Xiaozhi bowed slightly to Professor Oak and thanked him, then looked at Pikachu, "Pikachu, do you want to enter the Poké Ball?"
"Pikachu..." Pikachu looked at the Poké Ball in Xiaozhi's hand and shook his head repeatedly. He was unwilling to enter the Poké Ball. If it were not for his lack of strength, he would have broken free from the Poké Ball long ago and would not have stayed inside.
"Then... come up." Xiaozhi already knew that Pikachu would not enter the Poké Ball, so he put away Pikachu's Poké Ball, stretched out his right hand, and motioned Pikachu to jump up.
Pikachu didn't hesitate and jumped onto Ash's injured area with a little effort, then climbed up his arm and onto his shoulder. The two of them seemed to have been destined to be together and were obviously in harmony.
"Then Professor Oak, I'm leaving first." Although he was a little uncomfortable, Xiaozhi still smiled at Pikachu and said goodbye to Professor Oak.
