Dark Childhood: Starting from Arceus

"If you want it anyway-".

Listening to Xiaoguang's beginning, Lu Fan felt that he could already have a premonition of what she would say next.

Because I've encountered something similar before.

"You can also participate in this gorgeous competition. "

"If you're higher than me, I'll give you the Ice Stone. "

Sure enough, in the world of Pokémon, anything can be solved through battles.

When he saw that the winning prize of the competition was Ye Zhishi, Lu Fan was already planning to participate, not to mention that at this time, Xiaoguang also gave a great condition, and he had no reason to refuse at all.

Still, there are things that must be confirmed

"So what am I going to bet on?".

Lu Fan asked.

"Yes, yes. "

Xiaoguang's performance, Lu Fan could see at a glance that she hadn't considered this problem at all.

It's not impossible to make a bet that only he can benefit unilaterally, but Lu Fan feels that it's really a bit boring.

...... But part of the reason he thinks this way is that he doesn't think he can lose.

"How about I bet on this Thunder Stone. "

In Lu Fan's view, this is reciprocal and reasonable as a bet.

However, Xiaoguang doesn't think so.

"Even if you say that...... It's useless for me to hold the Thunder Stone?".

After all, she doesn't have Pokémon that need to evolve with Thunder Stones right now.

But if the Thunder Stone can't do it, Lu Fan can't figure out what else he has on him that can be used as a bet.

Do you use Pokémon?

He quickly shook his head in rejection of the idea, as it was completely out of Ash's style.

Lu Fan showed a helpless expression for a while, mistakenly thinking that he might refuse to participate in the gorgeous competition Xiaoguang, seeing this, he quickly patted his chest and said

"No problem! No problem! I'll definitely come up with a suitable condition later!".

Xiaoguang's classic line "No problem".

But every time she says that, that's when it's the most problematic.

Bogaman, who understood this deeply, looked at his master with a helpless face.

Lu Fan also understood this, but he didn't say anything.

I feel that there will be no result if we continue to discuss it, so let her go.

Moreover, after using the detection skill, Lu Fan found that there was trouble coming to the door.

"It's not too early, Xiaoguang Xiaogang, let's go find a place to live first. "

"I'm going to train with Pikachu, so you don't have to wait for me. "

"Huh~ Ash, you're very motivated, Bogaman and I won't lose!".

Xiaoguang mistakenly thought that Lu Fan was going to do special training for the Gorgeous Competition, and tried to act alone in order not to be seen by others.

This made her feel antagonistic.

Although I always felt that Xiaoguang had made a mistake, it didn't matter if I saw that she didn't mean to follow.

Lu Fan left the Elf Center with Pikachu and walked in the direction of the forest.

Although there were two and two Pokémon sneakily following behind him, he always pretended to be unaware.

"It's really careless, little ghost, who ran into the depths of this jungle alone. "

"And with Pikachu. "

"For the sake of the meows' careers, this time we must catch Pikachu and dedicate it to Boss Sakaki!".

"Conquer the New Olympia!".

"Treatment improved!".

"What a great feeling!".

"Shuff~Nance!".

As hilarious characters, the Team Rocket trio, may be late, but will never be absent.

Using the shrubs as cover, they followed Lu Fan until they reached an open place.

"Pikachu, let's train here!".

"Pickup pickup!".

Pikachu responds with an energetic voice, and that's when -

"I've been waiting for a long time!".

Meow, who can talk, with a specially made insulated bag, jumps out of the bushes and grabs Pikachu.

"Pickup ——!

".

"Give Pikachu back!".

Hearing Pikachu's plea for help, Lu Fan seemed to be very worried, and hurriedly rushed towards Meow Meow, trying to rescue Pikachu.

However, two figures that suddenly burst out blocked him in front of him with exaggerated movements.

"I heard the voice 'Give Pikachu back!'".

"It's going to come at the speed of light. "

Musashi and Kojiro, while reciting the lines, adjusted their movements, always blocking in front of Lu Fan, so that he couldn't move forward a single step.

"O wind!".

"O earth!".

"Blue sky!".

This time, even Meow Meow was added, obviously he had already caught Pikachu and had to come to this fixed set, Lu Fan could only pretend to be calm and silent and watch this farce.

"Danger befalls this world!"

"Crisis, travel through the universe!".

"It's both an angel and a demon. "

A sound that would shock and bewilder anyone. "

"Musashi!".

"Kojiro!".

"And meow meow!".

While the two of them read the lines, they retreated step by step in the face of Lu Fan, and finally arrived at the hot air balloon used for escape.

"We are the protagonists of this era!".

"We are invincible—".

"Team Rocket!".

"Shuff~Nance!".

Seeing that the hot air balloon gradually left the ground, and when it reached a distance that Lu Fan couldn't reach, he could only cry and fall to his knees on the ground.

"Damn, give me back Pikachu!".

"Don't meow!".

Meow Meow made a grimace at Lu Fan.

Then, the exaggerated laughter of the Team Rocket trio let out a "hehehe——!!!" and gradually faded away.

Lu Fan also felt that there was no need to act anymore......

Not really.

Although he still fell to his knees, looking depressed, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

When he first started at the Elven Center, he noticed that he was supposed to be being watched by a group of people.

Moreover, they were all dressed in the same costumes and clearly belonged to the same organization.

In order to test his suspicions, he deliberately split up with his companions.

Then, under the effect of the perceptual skill, Lu Fan soon found that his idea was right-

All the people I saw before came with me.

I just don't know why there are two more Pokémon plus two.

However, the trio of Team Rocket was quickly exposed, and they acted as Lu Fan expected.

The reason why Lu Fan didn't stop it was because he felt that it would be more convenient to store Pikachu with them temporarily...... It can even be said to be relatively safe.

And at this moment, the group of people who had originally distanced themselves from Lu Fan and were out of the perception range of Lu Fan's perception skills gradually approached Lu Fan, who seemed defenseless.

It's better to come here yourself, so you don't have to work hard to find it.

He thought to himself.
