Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 144: Xiaozhi's Collapse

At this time, Xiaoyang and Yulongyuan were following Miss Joy towards the ward inside the Pokémon Center, with Xiaozhi following behind them like a puppet.

They were now heading to the treatment room for the Fire Monkey. It was only after Xiao Yang and Yu Long Yuan explained the reason to Miss Joy that she brought them here.

Looking at the distraught Xiaozhi behind him, Xiaoyang couldn't help but sigh softly.

When they arrived outside a room, Xiaozhi saw the dying Infernape through the glass wall. He wanted to open the door and go in, but was immediately stopped by Miss Joy.

She said to Ash, "This is a special treatment room. No one except medical staff and seriously ill Pokémon are allowed in."

After hearing what the other party said, Xiaozhi could only slowly put down his hand, walked to the glass wall in a daze, and looked at the situation of Infernape inside.

Seeing Xiaozhi like this, Miss Joy, who was originally very angry, gradually softened her heart. She sighed and gently said to Xiaozhi: "His condition is indeed extremely bad now, as if his vitality has been completely overdrawn. The current medical methods are completely unable to heal his injuries. As his trainer, I can allow you to watch him here, but you cannot go in and disturb him. Let him leave peacefully like this."

Xiaozhi nodded weakly and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Miss Joy."

Miss Joy nodded slightly and then walked out. After all, she still had work to do at the Pokémon Center.

Xiaozhi just stood silently outside the glass, looking at Infernape. Xiaoyang and Yulongyuan looked at each other, then walked aside and looked at Xiaozhi. After all, they didn't know how to comfort her now, so they could only let him get through it on his own.

Xiaozhi just stood outside the glass wall like a big tree, motionless until the evening. During this time, Serena and Sundae also came over, but they didn't know how to persuade Xiaozhi. After all, the word "death" was too heavy. So they had to stand aside and watch him like Xiaoyang and the others.

Time began to pass by little by little. They had just been standing there without eating or drinking. However, Xiaoyang and the others did not have as good physical strength as Xiaozhi, and the four of them fell asleep one after another.

When Xiaoyang woke up again, he found that he had been covered with clothes and had a cushion on his head. He stood up and looked around. Although the Pokémon Center was not open 24 hours a day, many of the instruments here were always in working order, including this one. Miss Joy seemed to be taking care of them, so the lights here were not turned off.

Xiaoyang found that Sundae and the other three were in the same situation as himself, but he soon noticed that Xiaozhi had disappeared at some point, so he immediately stood up and wanted to go out to look for him. However, soon, he caught a glimpse of the glass wall out of the corner of his eye and found that Infernape was with his eyes open, and it was obvious that he had woken up.

Xiao Yang hurried forward, lay down outside the glass wall, and said to the Fire Monkey: "Are you awake, Fire Monkey? How do you feel now?"

Inside the glass wall, Infernape nodded with some difficulty, then stretched out a trembling hand to point outside. Although the other party did not say anything, Xiaoyang understood what he meant even without saying anything. He immediately nodded at him and said, "Don't worry, we will go and find Xiaozhi back, you just rest well first."

He turned his head and looked at the three people who were still sleeping. After hesitating for a while, he walked forward, gently woke up Sundae and Serena, and then slapped Yu Longyuan directly.

When the three of them came to their senses and realized that Xiaozhi was missing, they immediately decided to go out and look for him. During this time, Yu Longyuan glared at Xiaoyang fiercely, but Xiaoyang ran forward without caring.

"Xiaozhi! Where are you?"

"Come out quickly, we must have another way."

"Ash!"

.........

The three of them scattered, calling out and looking for Xiaozhi. Xiaoyang and the others even released their Pokémon to look for him.

After searching for a while, Serena came to a park. She stopped, took a breath, and looked around. The moon was covered by dark clouds and it was pitch black all around, but Serena was not afraid at all. Her heart was full of worries.

He murmured, "Where on earth have you been, Xiaozhi?"

Just at this moment, the dark clouds in the sky slowly moved away, and the light of the moon shone down, shining on a bench in the park. Serena happened to see a symbolic hat protruding from the chair, and immediately showed a happy expression and walked forward.

Sure enough, under the moonlight, Serena saw the figure sitting on the bench. He had his head down and his hat covered his face, so his expression could not be seen.

Serena walked forward quietly, not wanting to disturb him, but at this moment, the other party suddenly spoke: "Serena, do you think I am an unqualified trainer? Should I not have traveled from the beginning?"

When I heard his words, Serena couldn't help but stop. At this time, Xiaozhi also slowly raised his head. Serena successfully saw his expression at this time in the moonlight. There was nothing special on his face, but his eyes revealed confusion and helplessness, like a sea of ​​lost direction.

It was the first time that Serena saw the other person with such an expression. She never thought that Xiaozhi, who was always full of confidence and energy, would have such a vulnerable moment.

Her heart tightened, and then she said hastily: "Of course not, I think no one is more suitable to be a trainer than Xiaozhi!"

Xiaozhi's eyes were empty, and his voice was calm and somewhat scary, "Really? But how can a qualified trainer not be able to protect his own Pokémon?"

This sentence was like a needle that deeply hurt Serena's heart. She felt suffocated. The self-blame and pain revealed in Xiaozhi's words made her unable to bear it. She ran forward desperately, stretched out her hands and hugged Xiaozhi tightly, hoping to give him some warmth and comfort.

But Xiao Zhineng just said in a somewhat empty voice: "What should I do?"

"We will definitely find a way to save Infernape, so please, Xiaozhi, cheer up, okay?" Serena said with some pain.

But Xiaozhi's tone was still emotionless, "I have awakened the power of wave, so I can feel Infernape's condition."

"But even then..."

"And he has already told me!" At this moment, Xiaozhi suddenly shouted loudly, with a hint of collapse in his tone.
