Chapter 245 Honesty

"What happened to her?"

Sirona looked confused and looked at Mio's back.

The other person sat on the rock as if he was trying to escape, saying nothing, with his hands folded tightly on his chest.

Seeing her like this, Sirona felt even more puzzled, but she didn't dare to disturb her easily.

Xiaozhi didn't know how to explain this to her.

"Alas~"

He sighed softly, climbed up on the rock, and looked at her.

"Mio, are we friends?"

Xiaozhi decided to get straight to the point.

Sometimes, it is not wise to beat around the bush with a girl, but direct and straightforward expressions can hit the point more.

Especially in Mio's current state.

Hearing Xiaozhi's voice, she slowly raised her head, as if she had been fighting with herself deep inside.

However, when Xiaozhi appeared in front of her, she still nodded firmly, "Chi... is a friend."

There was no hesitation in her tone.

This short half-day of getting along had already given her a deep trust in Xiaozhi.

"So, can you tell me? After all, there should be no secrets between friends. Whether it is happy things or things that make you distressed, you should share them. This is a true friend."

After Xiaozhi finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

From this point of view, he himself did not do it.

But there is no way, he always has to go back.

“…”

Mio was silent for a while.

Finally, he made up his mind to tell his story to Xiaozhi.

Although she didn't want to mention it, she still chose to speak.

Xiaozhi listened quietly and sorted out the information he received.

Because of her long-term closed life, she has a slight language barrier.

Mio's voice was hoarse and dry, and her words were sporadic.

Xiaozhi listened carefully, and unknowingly, Sirona also came closer.

From Mio's mouth, they learned what happened to her.

It turns out that she has been an orphan since she was sensible.

In the vague memory, it was Miss Junsha who held her and began the journey to find her relatives.

Unfortunately, the results were destined to be disappointing.

Just as Miss Junsha took her on a helicopter ride to the welfare home near Tianguan Mountain, she encountered the forbidden land of Tianguan where the Lord of Tianguan awakened once every ten years.

They were struck by a volcanic eruption and were knocked down by eruptive rocks.

It was during this disaster that Mio's body was left with deep scars.

The Pokémon in this forest retain their most primitive wildness and are extremely aggressive.

When Miss Junsha found her in the bushes, she was already bloody and dying.

Fortunately, rescue and treatment came in time, and Mio's life was saved.

However, those scars became her permanent mark and stayed with her throughout her life.

This also led to her being rejected by the children around her after entering the orphanage.

No one wants to be with a partner who has ugly scars.

Mio has tried to contact them many times, but every time she got only disgusted looks and distant figures.

The baby dragon whom she met in the ruins park next to the orphanage is Mio's only playmate.

As time went by, their relationship became better and better.

Mio had also dreamed of becoming a trainer when she was ten years old and traveling with her baby dragon.

But no matter which world it is in, it seems to be like this.

The hemp rope will break at the thinnest part, and the bad luck will only seek out the misfortune.

A group of people who claimed to be alliance trainers approached her with a baby dragon after performing for children in an orphanage.

He said that there was another show in the town behind. Seeing that Mio was able to establish friendship with Pokémon at a young age, he wanted to invite her to go there and be a special guest.

Mio was naturally looking forward to and excited. For the first time, she received attention and needs from others.

In this way, she embarked on a journey with those people.

Unexpectedly, their goal is the baby dragon, and all the performances are fake.

As the car drove, they entered this forbidden land.

Yes, the place where her nightmare began.

Mio became very emotional, causing dissatisfaction among the trainers.

They planned ahead of time and launched an attack on Mio and Baby Dragon.

Fortunately, the baby dragon rose up and resisted, and they took the opportunity to escape into the forest, but they lost their way and could never find their way back.

"So, this is why you hate Alliance trainers..."

Sirona understood Mio's reaction, and tears shone in her eyes.

She walked towards Mio gently, stretched out her hands and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry..." Sirona murmured, her tone full of apology.

As the future Sinnoh goddess, she exuded a warm glow at this moment, and her heart was filled with deep love for the girl in front of her.

Xiaozhi also took a deep breath with some discomfort, feeling something blocked in his heart.

But he still said to Sirona, "There is no need to use your own kindness to apologize for the sins of others. This will only make those who hurt others more proud."

Xiaozhi's eyes were sharp and deep, "Moreover, the trainers certified by the alliance are all elite representatives who have been strictly screened. This kind of grouping together to snatch other people's Pokémon is really incredible."

In other words, this identity is very likely to be disguised.

…

While Xiaozhi was having a frank exchange with Mio and Sirona.

The Water City in the original timeline is filled with deep anxiety.

"Grandpa, how's the situation?"

Xiaoxi looked at Genji on the screen with an anxious look on her face.

This was the nth time she had asked her grandfather.

Since Xiaozhi disappeared, she and Xiaoyao had been in the library of Water City, reading various news, hoping to find clues about Xiaozhi.

And Genji returned to Fengyuan in person to ask friends in the alliance about the news of time and space.

Today is the fifth day since Xiaozhi disappeared.

In the afternoon, Xiaoxi called Genji again.

However, disappointingly, Genji still had no clue.

After all, time and space have long been mysterious and difficult to solve puzzles.

Xiaoxi hung up the phone in frustration.

Just then.

Xiaoyao ran over excitedly and brought good news.

It turned out that Kanon and Grandpa Bengre had come back from the negotiations with the Infinite Clan.

In order to thank them for saving Latios, the patriarch of the Infinite Clan mobilized all the tribesmen to look for Celebi, hoping to find Xiaozhi and his friends through them.

"That's great..."

Xiaoxi smiled for the first time in so many days.

She immediately took Xiaoyao to tell the good news to Gardevoir and others in the Pokémon Center.

Since Xiaozhi disappeared, these children have been immersed in deep self-blame and have not had a good meal for several days.

Xiaoxi believes that after they hear this news, they will be able to cheer up again.
