Chapter 446 Return to Pallet Town
Finally, after sailing for a while, the cruise ship arrived at the port near Pallet Town.
Sakaki, Sasaki and Lance got off the boat and stretched.
Sasaki took a last look at the cruise ship behind him in surprise, "It actually arrived safely without any incidents. This is really rare."
"What? You won't feel better until something happens?" Sakaki complained to him in annoyance.
Sasaki scratched his head. "Not really. It's just that I've been out with you for so long, and I always run into some danger or things. It's really hard to get used to arriving safely."
Sakaki shook his head, "You are such a bitch."
Sasaki was unhappy, "How can you curse me? Think about it yourself, isn't what I said right?"
Sakaki led Lance forward quickly, "I don't want to bother with you. Let's go. We have to rush to the Quartz Conference."
Sasaki followed him happily, "You are disloyal."
After being on the sea for a while, it was nice to be on solid ground again.
Sakaki took two steps for the first time, but looking at the building not far away, Sakaki thought for a moment.
"We're in the front of Pallet Town. I wonder how Qingmao and Chizhi are doing? They probably haven't gone to the Quartz Conference yet."
Sasaki poked his head out from behind. "Why? You want to stay for a day? The distance from Pallet Town to the Quartz Conference is not far, there's still time."
Sakaki asked curiously, "You don't seem to be that familiar with these two? Why are you interested in them?"
Sasaki replied: "I want to see what the champion's home looks like. Aren't you curious?"
Sakaki shook his head decisively, "Not curious."
"Boring." Sasaki snorted.
Sakaki didn't pay attention to Sasaki's words, but looked into the distance, "Well, we don't have to go, the two little brats are still so active."
Sasaki raised his hand as if looking around, and soon spotted three figures coming towards the hillside. "Why three?"
Sakaki said casually: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
However, he raised his head slightly and looked up into the sky, and sure enough, the huge energy fluctuation in the sky was the Charizard that was acting as a babysitter.
Charizard could of course see farther and discovered Sakaki's presence.
It just didn't come down on its own initiative. A Pokémon like Charizard is still very arrogant.
Especially since this is a champion-level Charizard, if it comes down on its own initiative, wouldn't that lower its status?
"Wait." Sakaki didn't go down anymore, but waited there.
"If you don't stay, I won't show up." Sasaki found a big rock in the distance and sat on it.
Lance, on the other hand, stretched his head and looked into the distance with some curiosity. He had no idea who Sakaki could be waiting for.
However, at Sasaki's call, he put away his curiosity and sat down next to Sasaki.
Soon, the two familiar faces were getting closer and closer.
The two little kids, Chi Zhi and Qing Mao, still look the same, with no changes and they haven't grown much in height.
Yes, children of their age will develop slowly, but after they are eleven or twelve years old, they will grow rapidly and become different.
Following behind them was a little girl who was a head taller than them but probably about the same age.
With brown hair and brown eyes, she looks like a gentle girl next door.
The eyesight of this kid Chi Zhi is still very good. He saw Sakaki on the hillside at the first time, "It's Brother Sakaki!"
As soon as he shouted, Qing Mao also noticed Sakaki and was also very surprised, "Really."
Then, the two guys ran straight towards Sakaki.
The girl behind them heard their shouting and was a little confused.
But seeing that these two guys ignored her and ran straight towards Sakaki, she stomped her feet in anger but still chased after them.
When the two little ghosts came to Sakaki, they restrained themselves a lot and just greeted Sakaki happily: "Brother Sakaki, long time no see!"
Sakaki put on a gentle smile on his cold face, raised his hand and rubbed their heads, "Yeah, it's been a long time."
Seeing that Sakaki was still familiar with them, Chi Zhi immediately returned to his carefree nature, "Why did you come to Pallet Town? Are you here to see us?"
Qingmao on the side was still very smart. He thought about it and guessed most of it.
"You are going to attend the Quartz Conference, right? Considering the time, we really need to hurry over there."
Sakaki nodded and praised, "Not bad, Qingmao is still smart."
Chi Zhi said unhappily: "What? I didn't guess it, otherwise I would have guessed it."
Qing Mao rolled his eyes at Chi Zhi and said, "Can't you admit your own shortcomings? Stupid Chi Zhi."
"What? What?" Chi Zhi was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Sakaki smiled and said: "You can't say that. Chi Zhi still has his own strengths, such as enthusiasm, cheerfulness, and liveliness..."
When Chi Zhi heard Sakaki's praise, he immediately raised his head with his nose up.
Qing Mao still said to Chi Zhi rudely, "So I didn't say he's smart, he's just not very smart."
Chi Zhi immediately wanted to fight with Qing Mao.
It was Sakaki who stopped them both. "There are so many people here, this is not the time to fight. Whoever loses will be embarrassed."
When the two heard it and thought about it, they realized that it was indeed the case.
He just crossed his arms, snorted at the other person, and turned his face away.
Sakaki showed a lot of patience. "Okay, your friends are waiting in the back."
After saying this, the two of them remembered the little girl who was forgotten behind.
Fortunately, the little girl was not angry. She walked over very gently and greeted Sakaki politely.
"Nice to meet you, hello, Brother Sakaki. My name is Hanako. I often hear Chi Zhi and Qing Mao mention you. They say you are very amazing."
Sakaki looked at the girl with some surprise, then looked at Chi Zhi and Qing Shige twice more, and finally understood why Oki Yukinari was nice to Hanako.
Then he smiled and said to the girl:
"Hello Hanako, you don't have to be so polite. Besides, I'm not as powerful as they say."
Chi Zhi immediately said, "No, Sakaki-sama is the youngest researcher in the alliance... Ugh."
"Stupid Chi Zhi, stop talking nonsense." Qing Mao was quick to cover his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense.
Oki Yukinari had previously told the two of them not to talk nonsense.
So after they came back, they didn't even tell their other relatives.
Sakaki smiled and separated the two, "Well, there's nothing to hide. After this Quartz Conference, my identity will be made public."
"Really?" Chi Zhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately told Hanako beside him about Sakaki's identity.
After hearing this, Hanako's eyes lit up and sparkled, "That's amazing, it turns out that Brother Sakaki is Dr. Sakaki."
Chi Zhi tilted his head and said, "How is it? Awesome, right?"
