Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 341 Abnormal Mood Fluctuations

In Lily of the Valley City, the sky is clear and blue. Under that azure sky, the scorching sun at noon in summer makes the asphalt road sparkle with light. Many tourists are taking a break under the shade of the sycamore trees on both sides of the street.

At this time, the Lily of the Valley Tournament's 5 to competition was in full swing. Now, minutes had passed since the start of the competition. Although many people had gone to the venue to watch the game, many tourists still chose to stay on the streets outside.

At this moment, the appearance of a gray-haired young man instantly attracted the attention of most people on both sides of the street. That man was Dakdo.

[┑(￣Д ￣)┍The opponents in this round are really weak, not interesting at all...] Latios' dissatisfied voice sounded. He was lying in the Poké Ball eating the ice bucket that Darko had just bought for him.

Dakodo raised his eyebrows slightly, "You didn't fight in the arena, what are you complaining about now? (?_? )"

[(￢_￢) It's boring just watching...] Latios turned over, [And I'm afraid only a psychopath like you would send Lugia to such a game? I really don't understand the mentality of you bullying people... (ー`′ー)]

This is probably the first time that Darko has sent a genuine first-level god to a league competition.

"???Alright, I wanted to let you play in the next round, but seeing that you are so unwilling, I'll give the chance to Lugia..."

Before Darko could finish his words, Latios performed a lightning-fast face change, [∠( ? 」∠)_Alas~ Then again, it’s actually good to bully the weak occasionally, which is good for mental health. ]

"(￢_￢)..." Dakoto's eyes showed a hint of disdain, "Actually, I was just joking. I didn't plan to let you play in the game before the top four."

[(?_?)Oh, you psychopath, get away from me.] Latios' tone became flat again.

“……” Dakoto remained silent.

The young man had his reasons for only sending Lugia to fight in these matches. First, it was to let the little guy have more fun. Second, in the final against Eslo, Lugia with psychic and flying attributes was not suitable for playing, so he let Him play a few games for fun before that as a slight compensation.

As for the sensation caused by sending Lugia directly, Darko didn't care at all. What? Do you have the ability to kill him?

If he really encountered any danger that he couldn't handle, Dakodo said that he could only run and hug his good brother's thigh.

It’s just a pity for those players who randomly got Dakodo in the game. I’m afraid they can only play the game of throwing the ball and retrieving the elves on the field.

Oh no, now I really have to start using the baby cup.

"...Forget it, Lugia, are you having fun?" Darko looked at his big baby with a smile on his face. Why bother about other people's feelings? Isn't it enough for them to be happy?

[Very good! Next, should we go find Brother Aisiluo and the others? (???)] Lugia's voice was very lively. He didn't interrupt when Darko and Latios were talking just now, for fear of disturbing them.

He, Lugia, is a good boy.

"Hmm~" Darko listened to Lugia's voice with an auntie smile on his face. What a cute little angel, he must protect him well, and absolutely cannot let him, Zoroark, Umbreon and Chompoo learn bad things!

Oh yeah, and there's that bastard Latios!

Darko looked at Latios's Poké Ball with a scrutinizing look.

[……] Latios guessed Darko's thoughts almost instantly. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. [So you have already determined the location of Eslo and the others? ]

"No." Dakoto's answer was clear and concise. He didn't have time to use his phone to ask, nor did he ask his own elves. But then he changed the subject and said, "But based on my understanding of Xiao Luo, I can probably determine where he is."

【oh? 】

……

It is still a busy street, but compared to the leisure area where Dakodo is located, this is obviously a commercial street with many snacks for sale.

A handsome black-haired boy was strolling aimlessly on the street, holding a few dessert bags in his hands. However, judging from the flat appearance of the bags, there was probably nothing in them.

After a while, his attractive black eyes moved slightly, and then he walked straight towards an ice cream truck.

After a while, Aislo sat on a bench not far from the ice cream truck, holding an oversized ice bucket in his arms. The boy scooped a spoonful of ice cream and put it in his mouth. The rich milky aroma and the cool chill instantly bloomed, instantly dispelling the summer heat. A smile flashed in Aislo's eyes, but before he could scoop a few spoonfuls, the boy stopped and stuffed the ice bucket into the arms of Morubeko beside him.

"?" Aislo's sudden action startled the little hamster who was holding two ice buckets in his arms at the same time. Before Morubeko could ask any questions, the young man looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

Eslo was thinking about where to go next. Darkrai returned to Poplar Town last night. Gengar felt a little unhappy because the opponent surrendered directly when she played in the arena, so she went out to have fun. Crocodile and the others went out to train again. Really, they don’t know how to combine work and rest... Yveltal was sleeping, and Mary went to the fashion store again without taking him with her. It seemed that the battle between Shinji and Tamaki was not over yet...

It’s strange. When I was in the Crown Forest before, I could eat the berries happily even if I was alone... Is it because I’ve become accustomed to the hustle and bustle?

Aislo slowly lowered his head. He felt a little bored. In the past, at times like this, he would put a candy in his mouth and let the sweet taste of happiness fill his mouth, but this time, the boy reached into his pocket... nothing!

"..." The young man silently withdrew his hand. He felt that his luck today seemed a little bad.

"Mobe?"

Morubeko's worried voice came at this time, causing Aislo to lower his head and look at the little guy. This look also scared Morubeko, because there was no smile on the boy's face as usual, and he looked very depressed.

"Morube?" The little hamster immediately stood up and danced around in panic. He thought the boy was sick.

But can the slate also get sick? Morubeko didn't know this, but seeing that the little pearl was about to fall, he still wanted to take him to the Pokémon Center.

"I'm fine~ I just don't know why I'm in a bad mood all of a sudden." Aislo realized his "loss of composure" and returned to his usual gentle appearance, with a smile on his face again. No matter what, he had to stay in the best condition in front of his partners, and there must not be any negative energy.

"But... my mood just now was indeed a little off..." Aislo thought as he hugged Morubek and patted his back to comfort him.
