Chapter 339 When I was young
Facing the Youye Orphanage is a field of golden ginkgo leaves.
Unlike other orphanages, the director of Youye Orphanage is a young man in his twenties.
When the wind blew, the ginkgo leaves made tinkling sounds. In this late autumn season, the young dean found a child sleeping soundly under the tree.
Every year, the orphanage would receive a mysterious child more or less. The director was used to it and took him home.
He was raised until he was taken over by Youye Academy.
…………
In order to prevent child trafficking, the alliance's charter prohibits children under the age of three from being adopted.
If you want to adopt a child, you need to wait until the adoptee is three years old, has a certain level of thinking ability, and is willing to be adopted.
Before that, this beautiful child who had just been brought home was naturally favored by many adoptive parents.
But after he was three years old, he rejected all families who wanted to adopt him.
"Shi Qiu" was the name given to him by the young dean.
There is no deep meaning, it just represents that he met this child in late autumn.
......
The children were actually curious about Shi Qiu at first and wanted to get closer to him.
The director was young and did not have much experience, and the staff at the orphanage were few and perfunctory.
Without proper guidance and discipline, even if children do not have excessive malicious intent, the harm caused by their behavior will be greater.
When Shi Qiu was about three or four years old, he was in the stage of memory awakening, and his mind was confused and he had headaches. He was withdrawn and didn't like to talk or play.
The children who approached him involuntarily and ignorantly, after being treated coldly, either felt resentful or acted in a teasing manner in the hope of attracting the other party's attention.
The turning point is that Shi Qiu's barrier-free communication with Pokémon became known to everyone.
There are two possibilities for the exposure of this behavior and ability.
The kids will either admire him more or see him as a weirdo who is not their kind.
The probability is 50-50, but under the guidance of time and space, unfortunately the latter happens.
"You are also...considered a freak?" N asked in a low voice after a long silence.
Shi Qiu smiled and said, "Their origins are unknown, and sometimes they are even more abominable than the so-called offspring born from the union of humans and Pokémon."
Later on, his status suddenly changed and he was resisted and rejected by all the children.
Some children who wanted to help him were also pushed aside and dared not lend a hand.
When he was nearly starving to death, it was stray Pokémon who raised him since he had no ability to survive.
"Where is that...so-called director of the orphanage?" N asked.
Shi Qiu chuckled: "He is an ordinary person, neither good nor bad, sometimes kind-hearted. But in my memory, this person hardly appears."
"It is said that he comes from a wealthy family and came to the orphanage to be in an environment with children and heal the trauma caused by the death of the Pokémon who was like a family member to him."
"Although this idea may sound a bit... holy, but..."
Shi Qiu thought for a moment and said to N: "I don't actually hate everyone I met in my childhood."
"From my perspective now, although this period of time was very bitter, I was very happy to meet those wandering elves."
His heart is both big and small.
I am not likely to give alms to insignificant people.
…………
"N." At the end, Shi Qiu's voice became more serious.
"Whether you live in an environment like before where you are rejected, resisted and excluded by everyone, or live in an environment like the Valley of Creation where there is respect, tolerance, harmony and happiness, this is part of life's fate and cannot be changed."
"However, no matter what kind of environment, as long as you are strong enough, dazzling enough, excellent enough, and go far enough, then the freak is no longer a freak, but a once-in-a-century gift from God."
For example, when he is emerging now, everyone will only envy and admire Shi Qiu's ability to communicate with elves, instead of rejecting it.
"Remember, the way others see you is not who you really are."
After saying the last sentence, he watched the still young N walk silently back to his temporary cage.
…………
…………
A month later.
Shi Qiu did not enter into the resonant state of practice, but began to search for the trace of Tutu dog in this space and time with all his strength.
The search was tedious and long. Hoopa didn't have the patience to accompany him, but he was annoyed by him so much that he simply took off a ring from his horn and threw it to him.
Shi Qiu searched very steadily and calmly. As long as the simulator's mission plot did not indicate failure, it proved that Tutu dog was still safe.
And at this moment, he finally understood the source of Tutu's unreasonable painting ability.
The ability to copy the sacred flame indiscriminately as a mythical skill is itself proof that Tutu Dog's sketching power is in no way inferior to top legends like the Ho-Oh.
"The power of creation."
Tutu Dog inherited this power bestowed by Arceus and perfectly integrated it into his innate ability "Sketch".
"Then there's the Ho-Oh, then the Lake Gods, and finally Arceus... Tootsie, you're even more legendary than your trainer."
While using the "Power of Creation" to sense the ring, Shi Qiu suddenly complained in a low voice.
Really, if he didn't have a simulator, he would really suspect that the protagonist who needed to save the world was actually this ordinary Tutu dog!
......
Under the guidance of the power of creation, Shi Qiu finally found his companions in a ruin.
It was a well-preserved statue of a Tutu dog, but unlike other Tutu dogs, it was not holding its tail, but holding a ball in each hand.
Shi Qiu recognized it at a glance. It was the Poké Ball he gave to Tutu.
Feeling another kind of "creative power" in the statue that was faintly responding to him, Shi Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief after verifying that his idea was correct.
Just find it.
…………
…………
I vaguely remember that Qiandong's identity seemed to have the experience of stopping N from using the black dragon to cleanse the Unova region in the future.
So Shi Qiu thought that he would stay here for a long time.
However, two days after taking Tutu back, Shi Qiu, who was sitting on the familiar steps under the eaves, suddenly received a plot prompt from the simulator.
Only then did he understand why he had felt so urgent and searched for Tutu dog day and night.
[Notice: It has been detected that the series of tasks - important plot points in the past of Winter Solstice have been passed. ]
[Mission completion: 100%]
【A comeback is coming soon. 】
【Confirming the space-time channel.】
What plot point? Shi Qiu was stunned.
This morning he only vaguely heard that Balza was going to take Meyali and a group of friends out for training.
Shi Qiu thought it was just a joke and didn't take it seriously.
but now......
"In the square, the golden wheel statue disappeared and reappeared... Oh, it's the plot in 'Laolao Little Devil Hupa'..."
Shi Qiu sighed.
If I had known that after getting Tutu back, I wouldn't have rushed to return Hoopa's ring.
It’s a bit of a pity now.
It seemed that he was unable to say goodbye to his friends.
