Pokémon that goes with the flow

Chapter 116 I also want to do something

"fire--!"

A manic roar came from the front. After hearing that it was the roar of the little fire horse, Hoshino and Xiaozhi speeded up their pace in unison.

But when he actually arrived at his destination, the sight in front of him made Hoshino slow down...

Um? Why is it different from what Xiaozhi said?

I saw the crazy little fire horse neighing on the spot, and the flames on its body became more and more intense, forming a sharp contrast with Kentero who was waiting quietly on the side.

Miss Tomiko had collapsed on the ground, with Xiaoxia and Xiaogang helping her up.

Seeing that the actual situation was somewhat inconsistent with what Xiaozhi said, Hoshino stopped subconsciously and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Didn’t it mean that something happened to Kentero? Why does it look like something happened to the little fire horse?

"Little fire horse! Stop it!"

Just when Hoshino fell into habitual thinking, Xiaozhi in front of him had already rushed forward and pulled the reins, trying to calm the arrogant little fire horse.

Seeing this scene, Hoshino also reacted. No matter what, let's help Xiaozhi first.

Hoshino thought about taking steps again, but the moment before he took steps, Scorpio suddenly stood in front of him.

"Scorpion~!"

"Huh? Scorpio?"

"Scorpion~! Scorpion~!"

Scorpio looked at his trainer's surprised gaze with a serious expression, and shook his head firmly, disapproving of his trainer getting closer.

As a Pokémon with a naturally sensitive sense, it can tell just from the temperature coming from its back that the current little fire pony is too dangerous, and its trainer must not get close to it.

Hoshino said anxiously: "But I..."

Before Hoshino could finish speaking, Scorpio sternly interrupted what he wanted to say.

"Scorpion~!"

Looking at his trainer's face illuminated by the firelight, Scorpio looked at his trainer apologetically, and then touched his head in embarrassment. He smiled his usual playful smile again.

"Scorpion~Scorpion~."

Scorpio turned around and nodded to Hoshino, saying that he could safely leave it to him. Then he pretended to be stern and once again reminded his trainer not to get too close.

After saying this, Scorpio didn't give Hoshino a chance to respond, and flew towards the blazing flame without looking back.

Seeing Scorpio pressing down on the little fire horse, Hoshino felt his face hurt from the light of the fire. He couldn't help but put down his outstretched hand, and could only swallow the words he had not yet finished bitterly... ...

...I can actually help...

......

With the joint efforts of Xiaozhi and Scorpio, the little fire horse successfully calmed down.

Then everyone quickly came to Miss Tomiko's home.

Under Xiaogang's guidance, Hoshino squatted down and carefully treated the burns on Scorpio sitting on the bench.

Compared to Ash, who used the reins to restrain the little fire horse, Scorpio lay directly on the flame-burning little fire horse.

Looking at the burns on Scorpio's body, even though Scorpio joked and emphasized many times that it was just a minor injury, Hoshino still felt distressed. After all, there is no wound that doesn't hurt...

No matter how uncomfortable he felt, Hoshino could only endure it and focus on dealing with the burns on Scorpio's body. After all...this was the only thing he could do...

Hoshino moved as gently as possible, debriding, applying medicine, and bandaging, following Xiaogang's instructions step by step.

Perhaps as Scorpio said, the burns it suffered were not serious. During the treatment process, Scorpio's mental state has been very good. He was talking and laughing with his trainer and said that this was not the case before in Nibi Gym. He was seriously injured, so he told his trainer not to worry.

Naturally, Hoshino didn't want Scorpio to worry about him, so he reluctantly showed his best smile, but it was difficult to hide his red eyes...

Hoshino had actually been mentally prepared for the fact that his Pokémon would be injured under the guidance of Miss Joy in Nibi City.

After leaving the Nibi Gym, Hoshino has experienced several battles, and his Pokémon have also been injured, some of which were even more serious than now. But nothing has made me wake up like this...

Regret, self-blame, inability to accept...

Hoshino felt that he was disgusting as he left all the battles to Pokémon without realizing it.

I accepted Scorpio's help too naturally. Under Scorpio's friendly and tolerant smile, I didn't understand what this meant.

If the owner of Ah Ju hadn’t reminded me, I would probably have continued like this as a matter of course...

As a Pokémon trainer, if you let your Pokémon fight alone, and can only watch your Pokémon get injured fighting for you, what is the meaning of such a victory!

And I actually dare to shamelessly take this victory that does not belong to me to celebrate with Xiaozhi...

...I am not qualified to be greedy at all...

The scene in front of him gradually blurred, and Hoshino held back his tears. After such a long journey, was he the only one to gain in the end from such a shameless self...

"Scorpion~."

Feeling the weight coming from the top of my head, I slowly raised my head, and what came into view was still Scorpio's soft smile, as if telling myself that it was okay...

......

Ah~, it’s like this again...

I... was comforted by Scorpio again...

I don’t know when it started... No, I have always been on the tolerated side from the beginning...

Scorpio, Chong Ye, Bobo...

They always accommodate me unconditionally...

No matter what I do...

......

......

...enough...enough...already...no need...

......

Hoshino opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. After Scorpio noticed it, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to listen carefully. He began to guess what the trainer would say next and how he should answer.

But to Scorpio's surprise, he didn't hear the trainer's voice next, but instead felt his hand on his trainer's head being gently taken off.

He opened his eyes in confusion and found that his trainer was immersed in treating the burns on his arm.

Just when Scorpio felt a little strange, he suddenly heard his trainer calling him.

"Scorpio~."

"Scorpion~?"

"I'll go with you next time." Hoshino slowly raised his head, held Scorpio's hand, and smiled softly at Scorpio, "Hey~, don't leave me aside again~"

It sounded like a joke and the tone was quite relaxed.

Seeing his trainer's appearance, Scorpio was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the trainer to behave like this.

But feeling the power coming from his arms, Scorpio could clearly feel that his trainer's hands were shaking...

Trainer, he...

......

Seeing that Scorpio didn't respond, Hoshino scratched his cheek in embarrassment and laughed twice awkwardly, "Haha~, actually I also know that I am very useless~, but even so, I still hope that I can be more or less Help me a little bit~, um~, even just a little bit will do~!"

Having said this, Hoshino held Scorpio's giant pincers with both hands and still spoke casually, the smile on his face not changing at all.

"So, Scorpio, can you give me a chance first and let me try..."

Hoshino's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally only the sound of breath slipped out of his mouth.

After saying this, Scorpio still didn't respond. It still maintained that smile, and no emotion could be seen from its closed eyes.

Time passed minute by second. Since he could not wait for Scorpio's response for a long time, Hoshino lowered his head with a smile, and his hands that originally held Scorpio's giant pincers gradually loosened...

...As expected, it still doesn't work...

At this moment, the pressing feeling from his hands made Xingye tremble in his heart. He quickly raised his head and found that his hands had been lightly wrapped by Scorpio.

For a moment, Hoshino was so surprised that he even forgot to maintain the smile on his face.

"Heaven...Scorpio?!"

"Scorpion~."

Seeing his trainer's current look of disbelief, Scorpio tilted his head and smiled playfully.

Scorpio is really happy now. After all, the annoying fake smile on his trainer's face has finally disappeared...

...Really, my trainer is really not frank...

After hearing these words from the trainer, Scorpio finally understood why his trainer behaved this way.

My trainer, he...

Scorpio is still laughing, and his inner thoughts are naturally unknown, but Hoshino can at least tell that this is Scorpio's smile as he succeeds in his prank... Could he be being teased by Scorpio again... ...

Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the force coming from his hand.

Scorpio blinked and squeezed his trainer's hands, still with the same smile on his face.

"Scorpion~! Scorpion~!"

Scorpio nodded, then looked into his trainer's eyes, agreed to the trainer's request, and said that he would support whatever the trainer wanted to do.

Scorpio's eyes are so clear that Hoshino can even see his own reflection in them.

Feeling the warmth coming from his hands, the boulder in his heart also dropped, making Hoshino's shoulders relax.

...can I finally help...?

However, this situation did not last long, and Hoshino was stunned for a moment by Scorpio's next move.

I saw Scorpio slowly loosening his hands, crossing his arms, and frowning hard. Although he didn't know what happened, Scorpio's serious look was obviously deliberately put on.

"Scorpion~, scorpion scorpion."

Immediately afterwards, Scorpio stretched out his hand. Scorpio met the astonished gaze of his trainer and solemnly stated that he would support the trainer's decision, but...

Having said this, Scorpio paused for a moment, which made Hoshino start to raise his heart again. He swallowed nervously, waiting for Scorpio's next words, for fear that Scorpio would change his mind.

However, Scorpio did not continue talking. Instead, he slowly stood up from the bench, and Hoshino's eyes followed Scorpio's movement.

"Scorpion~!!!"

Suddenly, Scorpio shouted at Hoshino and flew towards Hoshino.

Since the two were very close to each other, Scorpio easily knocked Hoshino to the ground.

Seeing that his trainer was frightened by him again, Scorpio just lay on Hoshino's body. His expression when he looked at his trainer was no longer serious, and he had a smirk again as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

"Scorpion~Scorpion~!"

"Hey~...Scorpio, you..."

Hoshino, who fell to the ground, sighed helplessly. He was already accustomed to Scorpio's pranks, but he didn't expect that he would be knocked down by Scorpio again.

He was about to pick up Scorpio, but seeing that Scorpio's body was covered with bandages, he had nowhere to start, and his hands could only be frozen in mid-air.

Our Scorpio naturally noticed this scene and took the initiative to place the injured part of his body on the palm of his trainer, smiling and saying that his injury was really not serious.

"Scorpion~Scorpion~..."

Then the conversation changed and he said that although it was not seriously injured, it did not mean that the situation at that time was very safe...

Scorpio closed his eyes and laughed, and continued to speak, but this time his tone was particularly serious.

When Hoshino saw Scorpio's appearance, he listened quietly.

According to Scorpio, he will support the trainer's decision, but it is by no means irresponsible support.

Just like subduing the little fire pony this time, knowing that the trainer would be in danger, he would never agree to the trainer rushing forward personally.

However, this does not mean that the trainer cannot do anything. In this case, the trainer should start to seek help from his own Pokémon.

Having said this, Scorpio opened his eyes and jumped off Hoshino, helped his trainer up, and continued talking with a smile.

In its view, it is normal for Pokémon trainers to seek help from Pokémon. Rather, it is better to say that Pokémon trainers use Pokémon's abilities to solve problems. This is what Pokémon trainers should do. Things to do.

Of course, it would be okay if the trainer could solve it alone, but this time the little fire horse is obviously not something the trainer can stop...

Scorpio shook his head slightly, then flew to his trainer's head again, hugged the trainer and said with a smile.

"Scorpion~, Scorpion~."

In this case, the trainer can just leave it to us with confidence~.

Of course, I don't mean that the trainer just stays aside, but I hope that the trainer can give instructions and direct us to fight when we fight.

I believe that if it was under the command of the trainer, I would not be injured this time, and I could subdue the little fire horse more easily...

Scorpio's voice became smaller and smaller, and Hoshino seemed to feel something, and then found that Scorpio had stretched his head in front of him.

There seemed to be some kind of light shining in its smiling eyes, and it was smiling quite happily.

So, trainer, please stand behind us and always support us...
