Chapter 20: Dr. Oak, encouragement from Xiaoyun
In Dr. Yamanashi's research institute.
After returning to the research institute, everyone started reminiscing about the past after telling Dr. Yamanashi about the series of events that had just happened.
"Xiao Yun, from your conversation just now, it seems that you and Xiao Zhi have known each other for a long time!" After everyone returned to the research institute, Xiao Guang said to Xiao Yun in surprise.
"Yes, I was originally going to go with you, but when you heard that it was a summer camp for learning and exchange organized by Professor Oak, you stayed at home and refused to come out, so I ended up going alone."
Xiaoyun replied and looked at Xiaoguang with a joking expression.
"Well...well, I was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable at the time."
"That's right. I definitely don't mean to not want to study on purpose."
Everyone looked at Xiaoguang's poor acting skills and said that your answer is already written all over your face, but no one exposed her.
"I see. If you and Xiaozhi have known each other for a long time, then why didn't Xiaozhi recognize you just now?"
Xiaoguang felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward so he changed the subject and asked this fatal question, and the pressure was immediately put on Xiaozhi.
"Well... that's it."
"Okay, sorry Xiaoyun, I forgot."
Xiaozhi had indeed forgotten and wanted to make an excuse.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with any good solution, and I really didn't recognize Xiaoyun just now, which was very embarrassing, so I could only answer truthfully.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter. After all, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. It's normal that we haven't recognized each other since we've grown up."
Xiaoyun tried to smooth things over and helped Xiaozhi explain that he had never expected this guy to remember it.
So he didn't care. They were all boys after all. If he thought about it every day, things would become complicated.
"By the way, Xiaozhi, has Xiaomao also come to the Sinnoh region?" Xiaoyun asked Xiaozhi.
Judging from the time, Xiaomao should have given up challenging the league and turned into a Pokémon researcher. I don't know if he is still in Sinnoh.
"That guy Xiao Mao should still be in the Oak Research Institute, but he should come here in a while. He told me to come here."
"By the way, Xiaoyun, are you traveling now?"
Xiaozhi thought about Xiaomao's current position and answered Xiaoyun.
I remember that he had just finished challenging the frontier area and was full of confidence, but then he was taught a lesson by Xiaomao's electric beast.
After being taught a lesson, he naturally refused to accept it, so he immediately went to the Sinnoh region to train himself, and as a result, he was targeted by the trio, and then he became what he is now...
"Yes, I plan to challenge the gym to collect badges to participate in this year's Lily of the Valley Conference."
"And Xiaoguang will travel with me, but her goal is to participate in the gorgeous competition to collect ribbon badges to participate in the gorgeous large-scale celebration."
Xiaoyun briefly described their current plan and was about to say something when he saw Professor Yamanashi walking towards them and said to Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, that guy Oak called and said he wanted to talk to you about something."
"Oh, okay, thank you Dr. Yamanashi. I'll go right away." After hearing what Xiaozhi said, he bowed to Dr. Yamanashi and thanked him, then walked towards the phone.
"Xiaoyun, and everyone else come over here, Professor Oak wants to see you."
After a moment, Xiaozhi came over and spoke to them again, obviously having told Professor Oak what happened.
After hearing this, Xiaoyun stood up and followed Xiaozhi to the screen, where he saw a kind old man in a white coat in the video, who was Professor Oak.
"It's been a long time since I last saw Professor Oak. How have you been recently?" Xiaoyun walked up to Professor Oak and greeted him.
"Hey, it's Xiaoyun, Sashi ignores me!"
"Thank you so much for helping Xiaozhi rescue Pikachu this time."
Professor Oak and Xiaoyun haven't seen each other for a long time. When he saw Xiaoyun, he greeted him with a smile and thanked him for helping Xiaozhi.
"You're not to thank me, Doctor. Xiaozhi and I are childhood friends. It's only natural for me to help my friends when they are in trouble." Xiaoyun replied sincerely.
Although I thought that even if the Rockets trio had the upper hand given their intelligence, they would still fail in the end for some reason.
And he just accelerated this result.
"What a good kid! No wonder I often hear that guy Yamanashi mention you, saying that you are a rare talent."
"It's a pity that your heart is not in it and you don't want to do research with him. I rarely hear him praise someone so highly."
Professor Oak looked at the gentle boy in front of him and praised him.
No wonder Yamanashi's deadpan expression softened when he mentioned Xiaoyun. If it were him, he would probably like her too!
"Doctor, you are overpraising me. I have only touched the surface of research, and Dr. Yamanashi is just exaggerating.
I heard that Xiao Mao is now engaged in research work, and his achievements are said to be quite good. This should be the result of your good teaching. "
When Xiaoyun heard Professor Oak's praise for him, he, who was well versed in the ways of the world, began to praise Xiaomao in front of Professor Oak.
There was an impromptu business compliment.
"Hahahaha, that's an exaggeration. Xiao Mao has only just gotten started. It's still a long way to go before he can achieve anything."
Professor Oak heard Xiaoyun start praising his grandson Xiaomao.
As a grandfather, Professor Oak was naturally very happy to hear this, but he still said modestly that it was not enough.
"Forehead...."
Xiaoyun looked at Professor Oak, who was speaking modestly but smiling all the time, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
I thought to myself that you should restrain yourself a little. The smile on your lips is harder to suppress than AK.
"That Professor Oak, this is Xiaoyun's companion Xiaoguang and her partner Pogaman. Xiaoguang also helped save Pikachu just now."
Xiaozhi stepped forward at an inopportune time, interrupting the business compliments between Xiaoyun and Professor Oak, and began to introduce Xiaoguang beside Xiaoyun to Professor Oak.
"Well, you must be Hikaru. Satoshi just mentioned you to me. Thank you for saving Pikachu."
Professor Oak was not angry when Satoshi interrupted their business trip. He looked at Hikaru in front of him and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Hello, Professor Oak. You're welcome. I can't help much. Xiaoyun did most of it."
When Xiaoguang saw that Professor Oak was actually thanking her, she became a little nervous, just like a student seeing his teacher, and responded to Professor Oak's words hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter. You dared to confront Team Rocket just after getting the Pokémon. Just this courage has won over most people. Your future achievements will definitely not be low."
Professor Oak waved his hand and said, his tone full of encouragement to Xiaoguang.
"What Professor Oak said is right. Xiaoguang, don't underestimate yourself. You are already great, aren't you?"
Hearing Professor Oak start to encourage Xiaoguang, Xiaoyun also said in agreement.
But it is also true that Xiaoguang was able to win the title of runner-up in her first grand celebration, which is quite good among the many heroines in history.
“Is… is that so?”
Faced with the dual encouragement of the authority of the Pokémon world and his childhood sweetheart, Xiaoguang's face began to get hot and his head became a little confused.
"No problem, just like your catchphrase, no problem!!"
Xiaoyun spoke softly to Xiaoguang with a serious expression.
Their eyes met, and it was as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples of excitement.
