In an ordinary residential area.
A boy, around the same age as Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Zi Feng, couldn't help but curse after hearing what Xiao Cui said on TV:
“How can there be such bad people? They actually abandon their Pokémon. They’re so good…”
Hearing the boy's words, his mother's eyes flickered with a hint of melancholy.
Only to hear Xiao Cui on TV continue:
“Walkers, Paras, these common Pokémon are not favored by trainers. Cases of trainers abandoning them because they are weak are numerous.”
For a time, countless children across the country, along with Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia in the show, all wore indignant expressions.
How despicable, these irresponsible trainers.
Just as the boy continued to morally condemn the trainers who abandoned their partners in the show.
The mother sitting on the other side suddenly spoke:
“Aren’t some people the same?”
Hearing his mother's words, the boy turned his head in confusion.
He saw his mother holding their small mongrel dog, expressionless:
“Some people cried and begged to raise a puppy. But when it grew up, they thought it wasn't pretty anymore and didn't even care about it. What's the difference between that and those trainers who abandon their Pokémon?”
Upon hearing this, the boy blushed profusely.
The small mongrel in his mother's arms was the one he had picked up two years ago.
He had cried and begged to raise it back then, wanting to be with the dog even when he slept.
However, as time went on, his enthusiasm gradually faded.
More importantly, the dog’s looks took a nosedive after it grew up.
Whenever he walked the dog, seeing the beautifully dressed Pomeranians, Golden Retrievers, and other dogs owned by his friends.
He always felt embarrassed.
So gradually, he stopped walking and playing with the dog.
And now, being reminded by his mother… He realized that his behavior was no different from those trainers on TV.
“I’m sorry, Little Yellow, let’s go for a walk together after we finish watching, okay?”
The boy took the mongrel from his mother, his voice choked with tears.
His mother nodded in satisfaction.
Thinking, Su Yi Huan’s drama is pretty good.
There’s even this kind of educational meaning.
And there were countless parents who shared similar thoughts with this mother.
Besides the popularity, the reputation of the Pokémon series was also slowly rising!
…
…
“Walker, don't be downhearted. This is all the fault of the trainers who abandoned you. You mustn't take it to heart…嗚……”
As the audience in front of the TV were filled with emotion, Xiao Xia in the screen was comforting a discarded Walker.
But as she spoke, she couldn't help but cry first.
“噜～”
Seeing this, the Walker stood on tiptoe and used the grass leaves on its head to wipe Xiao Xia’s tears.
Seeing this heartwarming scene.
Even the parents who were patiently watching with their children couldn't help but smile with adoration.
But in the next second—
“加呐！”
The familiar cry came again.
Xiao Xia, who had been in a sad state, was knocked off balance.
She turned her head to see, it was none other than Venusaur!
“加呐！”
Venusaur was about to attack.
However, Xiao Zhi had already stepped in front of Xiao Xia, gritting his teeth and using his shin to block Venusaur’s “Tackle” move.
“What's wrong with you, you guy?!”
Xiao Zhi roared.
It was fine when he was the one who initiated the challenge.
But why was he attacking Xiao Xia now!?
Xiao Cui rushed over, anxiously urging:
“Stop it! Venusaur, these two are different from those trainers! Don't do this!”
“噜！噜！”
Not only Xiao Cui, but Walker also jumped up to be a peacemaker.
This finally defused Venusaur’s hostility a little.
Then, under Xiao Cui’s explanation.
Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia learned that the Venusaur was the “protector” of this forest cabin.
It silently protected the abandoned Pokémon.
Therefore, it had a deep hostility towards human trainers.
It attacked Xiao Xia just now because it thought she was going to do something to Walker.
After learning about Venusaur’s situation, Xiao Zhi, who had originally wanted to catch it, decided not to insist.
Seeing that Pikachu and Caterpie were fine, he decided to set off with Xiao Xia towards Nibi City again.
But unexpectedly, the Team Rocket trio reappeared.
They used a giant machine installed on Meowth’s hot air balloon to try to capture all the Pokémon here.
Venusaur was enraged and attacked the Team Rocket trio.
But relying on its own strength, it was no match for them.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi hurriedly joined the battle with Pikachu and Caterpie, who had just recovered.
The audience, who thought that Xiao Zhi was about to lose a strong member, all showed their “Big King Kong’s” dumbfounded smiles.
【Good good good, the assist king is here, right?】
【Who said Team Rocket was the bane of Kanto, they’re clearly auspicious beings】
【I’ve already guessed the next plot development】
【To be fair, even though it’s a trope, I like it!】
PS: Just a little extra, let’s call the protagonist’s black tech little sister a “transmigrator with a cheat”, as for what exactly it is, everyone knows in their hearts. It’s mainly because the recommendations for certain Lu's no-xitong novels are better, I want to take a chance, sorry about that.
