The latter knelt on one knee, and then heard the Dragon Elder speak a string of difficult words that he could not understand, and his hands kept patting his head and shoulders.
Lean less.
Following applause from behind, he was signaled to stand up.
The elder whispered, "Your achievements have exceeded the test you deserve. In the name of the elders of the Meteor People, I grant you the heritage of the Meteor People. I hope you will make the best use of it and always be sincere and kind. May the Dragon God Rayquaza protect you."
"May the Dragon God Rayquaza protect you."
The people of Meteor responded in unison.
Soon the elder opened the wooden box, revealing two areas separated from the middle. On the left was a key stone that was slightly larger than a finger, inlaid on a bronze spiral bracelet, and on the right were numerous super stones.
"Come on, child, take your keystone and choose the superstone you want."
"I want a super stone... Do you have a super stone for Big Mouth?"
"If it's 'Rust Inscription', then this is it." The elder pointed to a super stone that was pink in color with lead gray and light yellow flocs inside.
Rusty inscription?
They even gave the super stone a name.
Kashiwagi suppressed his excitement and put the key stone and the Big Mouth Evolution Stone into his pocket.
I thought it would take some time to get the key stone from Xijiana, but I didn't expect such a change to happen in the middle of the process... Now that I think about it, maybe I should be grateful for the arrival of Team Rocket?
No, no.
This is too sinful.
The elder noticed his chaotic emotions and said softly, "Go back and have a rest, kid. You've worked hard today."
"it is good."
Kashiwagi took a deep breath. Although the meeting didn't seem to be ending yet, he seemed to be allowed to leave early.
Feeling exhausted, he did not refuse. He bowed and turned away.
Sitting in the crowd, Xijiana stared at his back until he disappeared.
-
The next day.
Kashiwagi opened his eyes, and yesterday's fatigue disappeared.
Youth means strong resilience, both physically and mentally.
He turned around and looked at the mountain of Thunder God beside the bed, "Now that Team Rocket from Meteor Falls has been captured, where are you going next?"
Since the latter goes out early and comes back late these days, he has little chance to extend his cat-stroking plan to the next step.
Now that Team Rocket has been captured, Big Cat no longer has to go out, it’s time to restart the plan!
Baimu laughed and reached out his hand to touch the iron plate on Lei Gong's forehead.
I thought I would be warned by the static electricity and was ready to quickly pull my hand back, but I didn't expect the latter to have no reaction and let him touch my head.
Is Lei Gong still asleep?
No.
It had woken up and turned its head to look at Kashiwagi.
The meaning in his eyes and his non-resistance attitude made the smile on his face slowly stiffen.
"——Are you going back to Johto?"
"roar~"
Lei Gong lowered his eyes and nodded gently.
The Ho-Oh Guards are legendary Pokémon with a heavy responsibility. They follow Ho-Oh and their responsibility is to protect weak Pokémon and observe humans.
So the time of parting will come sooner or later.
But Kashiwagi didn't expect it to be so fast. Maybe he shouldn't have gone to bed so early last night. Maybe he should have said a few words of advice. Maybe...
"Is there no Team Rocket in the Hoenn region for the time being?" he asked in a low voice.
"roar~"
Lei Gong nodded again.
"Then when are you going to leave?"
"roar~"
It slowly stood up.
"Today? That's too hasty! It's not a bad idea to stay for two more days." Kashiwagi stood up, and all the Pokémon woke up from their sleep, looking at the two in confusion or surprise.
Raikou's gaze swept across all the Pokémon and finally landed on the little human who he clearly disliked but also found a little cute.
It was silent, staring into the other's eyes, then lowered its head and slowly approached, gently rubbing its cheek against the other's incredulous face, and then rubbed the reluctant Happy Egg next to it.
Carefully.
It also revealed a small gesture of great regret and pity.
This was the first time that Lei Gong behaved so intimately. He was completely unlike the big cat who used to reject touch, ignore any words, and only roll his eyes at you to express his disdain.
But if it was used to say goodbye, Kashiwagi would rather get an electric shock or be looked down upon.
He stretched out his hand.
"At least after breakfast..."
"roar~"
Lei Gong shook his head and stepped back lightly, all the way to the courtyard outside the edge. He squatted down like a well-behaved big cat, looking at the Pokémon in the room who were looking at him. Suddenly, a smile appeared in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes and lowered his head very solemnly.
"Roar……"
Thank you all for your continued care, and goodbye.
'friend'.
After doing all this, it resolutely rushed towards the forest outside Meteor Village.
Baimu quickly jumped off the bed and ran outside, but all he saw was a nimble figure gradually disappearing. He opened his mouth and found that he had no idea what to say.
Goodbye? He didn't want to say goodbye like this.
Keep him? Lei Gong has made up his mind.
"……what."
He covered his face and rubbed his sore eyes. The Pokémon behind him rushed over, leaned against him and comforted him.
Everything happened too suddenly, and I was not mentally prepared at all.
But maybe.
Lei Gongzheng had chosen to leave this morning because of this unexpected situation, right? If he had set a date for leaving, he would have subtly persuaded me with various reasons and forced me to stay a little longer.
He would definitely work hard for it anyway.
The reality was just as Kashiwagi had imagined.
Lei Gong did not look back while walking through the forest, nor did he dare to look back, as if he was afraid of hearing the boy's voice and wanted to run as far away as possible.
otherwise.
It knew that it really couldn't take this step.
Various scenes of his time with Kashiwagi kept flashing through Lei Gong's mind. Even though he told himself that he should go faster, his pace slowed down involuntarily.
Finally, it stopped on a hillside, staring blankly in the direction it had come from, and its sight seemed to pass through the dense jungle.
What will it be for breakfast?
It must be delicious, right?
The three-headed dragon is probably acting like a spoiled child again, but will definitely be dragged away by Happiny to brush his teeth? Sun Coral is probably still as lazy as ever, flying to Porygon's back to seek some peace and quiet, Big Mouth is definitely still curled up on the sofa hugging his doll, and Boskodora is probably changing the water for the Clowfish...
Just like what happens every day.
very nice.
But this warmth does not belong to it. It still has an unfinished mission and cannot enjoy it for shameful selfish desires.
You must achieve your goals!
Cypress!
"Roar--!!"
Thunder God raised his head and roared, and the sound waves spread throughout the mountains and forests, scaring the bluebirds and proud swallows on the treetops, and they all flew away.
In Meteor Village, Baimu, who was about to return to his room, moved his ears and looked in the direction where Lei Gong left.
immediately.
As if he sensed something, a smile gradually appeared on his lost face.
Xijiana poked her head out from the windowsill on the second floor.
"It's early in the morning, what happened?"
"No, I just sent a friend out, and I was a little reluctant to let him go."
"Thunder Lord?"
"Ah."
"We should be able to meet again, right?"
"Of course, we will meet again sooner or later. This is definitely not the last time." Kashiwagi responded with a smile.

a new day.
Meteor Village gradually became lively.
