Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Seeing Meroko falling to the ground, Xiaoqing was frightened and trembling, but she still didn't forget to ask him.

"You..., are you okay? Meroko..."

However, Xiao Qing, who was so frightened that her legs were weak, only talked in words, but did not dare to approach Meroko who was next to Tan Xiaoshi.

Meroko, who was thrown into disgrace, stood up with difficulty, struggled to stand upright, and spoke inarticulately.

"I..., I'm fine. It seems your limit is here. Let's continue the special training..."

Meroko, who had learned a lot from the experience, decided to give up the radical approach just now. After letting Tan Xiaoshi stand back to his original position, he drew a scratch on the ground with his feet from the place where he was thrown down just now. Trace said.

"The distance from this line to Tan Xiaoshi is only three or four meters, which is the range that Xiaoqing you can psychologically withstand the fire Pokémon."

Let Xiaoqing stand behind the horizontal line and continue.

"Xiao Qing, just stand here and look at Tan Xiaoshi, gradually allowing you to psychologically overcome your fear of Tan Xiaoshi. This behavior is academically called "desensitization treatment", and the purpose is to reduce symptoms and shorten the time. The attack time and reducing the psychological burden... are scientifically based. "

Xiao Qing recognized the treatment method mentioned by Meloke. Within the shortest psychological endurance range just concluded, Xiao Qing did not subconsciously escape again. But when Tan Xiaoshi's eyes met, he would always inadvertently look away from the other's eyes, raise his gaze to pay attention to the flickering flames coming out of his head, and then glance up to escape his gaze, with a white-eye look.

"Xiaoqing, you can't avoid eye contact, otherwise you will defeat the purpose of "desensitization treatment"! "

Xiaoqing replied aggrievedly.

"I'm sorry, my attention is always attracted by the flames on Tan-chan's head, and I unconsciously want to avoid eye contact."

After thinking for a while, Meroko came up with a way.

"What you said is a problem..., yes! I have thought of a way..."

Then Meroko whispered next to Tan Xiaoshou.

"Young Master Tan, please hold on and extinguish the flames above your head for a short while."

Upon hearing Meroko's request, Tan Xiaoshi extinguished the flames above her head. After there was no interference from the flames in Xiao Qing's field of vision, she could finally look directly into Tan Xiaoqi's eyes. This is also the first time Xiao Qing has been so close and observed quietly after Tan Xiaoshi hatched. Most of the time, Tan Xiaoshi chooses to stay with the scalding crocodile. Tan Xiaoshi also likes Xiao Qing very much, but Xiao Qing cannot accept Tan Xiaoshi as a fire Pokémon.

Taking this opportunity, Xiaoqing can also take a good look at Tanko. In Xiaoqing's eyes, Tanko is no different from other baby Pokémon. It has a cute body and a pair of big, bright eyes... which makes it look like it is... I felt pity for him, he was so cute.

"So... so cute!"

Xiao Qing was also attracted unconsciously, and he slowly raised his hand... Mello could see this and knew that the time had come, and signaled Tan Xiaoshi to move in the direction of Xiao Qing. Things were going smoothly, and when Xiaoqing's hand lightly touched Tan Xiaoshi's cheek, Tan Xiaoshi also felt the long-lost trainer's care, and tears caught in Tan Xiaoshi's eyes.

Just when things were going smoothly, Tan Xiaoshi couldn't help crying anymore, and threw herself into Xiao Qing's arms. Together with Tan Xiaoshi's gushing emotions, and the top of her head Fire and smoke... The atmosphere that was still harmonious before was no longer the fire but the smoke that caused the mood swings of Tan Xiaoqing. Xiao Qing was frightened and said in a panic.

"No!"

Then he pushed Tan Xiaoshi heavily to the ground. After a brief panic, the frightened Xiao Qing regained his senses. Looking at the face of Tan Xiaoshi who was also frightened, aggrieved and puzzled, he realized His excessive reaction had already hurt Tan Xiaoshi, so he immediately explained.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tan! It's not what you think, it's me..."

"Tantan..."

Suddenly, Tan Xiaoshi was crying loudly while running away in the distance, passing between the Scorching Crocodile and the Bone Patterned Loud Crocodile. They couldn't stop each other...

Meroko immediately reminded the Scorching Crocodile and the Bone-marked Loud Crocodile.

"Bone-marked Loud Crocodile, Scorching Crocodile, follow Mr. Tan quickly, don't let him get lost!"

"Meloko, I..., I didn't mean that!"

Looking at the panicked Xiao Qing, Meroko replied.

"I know, let's not discuss right or wrong for now! Let's quickly follow the Bone Patterned Loud Crocodile and the Scorching Crocodile to retrieve Tan Xiaoshi!"

With that said, Meloko, Xiaoqing and Tiremiao followed the team. This activity of inspecting wildfires, while preventing wildfires, evolved into a campaign to find the lost Tan Xiaoshi.

In the process of searching, Xiaoqing blamed herself very much and wished she could slap herself in the face.

"Just..., I shouldn't have treated Tan-chan like that. I'm such an incompetent trainer."

Meloko didn't mean to blame Xiaoqing. Unlike Meloko's slightly impatient appearance, after getting along with him, he was actually gentle and delicate on the inside. He comforted the other person and changed the topic.

"It's okay, Xiaoqing. I understand. It's not your fault! But...how could you become afraid of fire Pokémon? I remember you were not like this when you were a child."

"When you were a kid?"

Xiaoqing was puzzled by Meloko's speech and asked in confusion.

"When we were young..., did we know each other?"

Meroko sighed and said.

"Hey, you really forgot about me, but when we first met at the "Wang Liang Fourth Team Base", I didn't think of you immediately... I still remember what I said when we met just now. Long time no see'! In fact, we had met five years ago and became friends briefly. "

"five years ago?"

Seeing Meloke mention it in a serious manner, Xiaoqing also recalled his past experiences, but still couldn't recall when or what happened.

Seeing that Xiaoqing still hadn't remembered her, Meloke decided to give her a hint. At this time, Meroke was putting on makeup and dressing up, and she didn't have the same eye-catching appearance as when she was the boss of the "Fire Gang". . She took off her original exaggerated punk style clothes and put on a fireman's suit. The heavy eye shadow and lipstick she wore before have also been faded, but her iconic hairstyle that burned like a "flame" remained unchanged.

After Merlot smoothed her loose hair with her hands, she pressed her hair close to her left and right cheeks with both hands, giving it a short "princess short cut" hairstyle.

Xiao Qing had some impressions, but she still couldn't think of a specific place where she met him. Seeing that Xiaoqing still didn't remember it, Merlot told the specific time, place, and details.

"You haven't thought of me yet? That's too much... Let me remind you, five years ago, in the North Second District of Padea, near the place known as the "Temple of Fire"..."

Xiaoqing's childhood experience is very exciting. After all, she has a well-known photographer mother-Lan Lian. Since Xiaoqing was a child, Lanlian has taken her to travel around various areas outside Padia. Although they are all residents of the original Padia area, they have been away from home in the past. The time in Padia was also numbered... It was not until the beginning of this semester that they decided to return to Padia to settle down. This was the reason why they and Xiaozhi became the only transfer students in the academy.
