Chapter 1388 Little Silver Enters School
Bai Mu walked slowly ahead, his steps light and natural, while Xiao Yin followed silently half a step behind, like a quiet shadow.
The boy felt a little incredulous at that moment.
Since leaving the Violet Green Port Police Station, Kashiwagi's attitude has become unusually easygoing, a stark contrast to his earlier aggressive demeanor.
She was completely different from when we first met.
Silver will never forget that night when a pale blue comet streaked across the sky, obscuring the soft starlight, and the entire night sky was illuminated by the blazing Team Rocket headquarters.
Flames, explosions, and a sense of panic mingled together, like a sudden and irresistible natural disaster.
He mustered his courage to ambush Kashiwagi and issue a challenge, partly to save face for his father, Sakaki, and partly to satisfy his own curiosity.
What kind of person would do such a thing?
And so, Xiao Yin got her wish and saw the tall, handsome young man riding a magnificent horse that seemed to have come from the underworld, with a straight posture and an indifferent expression.
He was like a knight descending from the night, looking down at him with an air of oppression that almost broke his taut nerves.
For the first time, Xiao Yin clearly felt the chill of being close to "death," as if a Damocles' sword was hanging over her head, ready to fall at any moment.
He mustered his courage, but in the end, it was like throwing an egg against a rock—a completely pointless defeat.
Even the deepest wounds in his heart were reopened, leaving him devastated for a long time.
From that day on, he kept a close eye on Kashiwagi, watching his daily short videos and battle live streams on Pokémon, until today when he discovered that Team Rocket had made contact with Kashiwagi and was secretly heading to the Orei region.
Little Silver couldn't resist and made a decision that even he considered reckless: to infiltrate Ore.
Although it was called an infiltration, they actually bought a ticket on the boat.
The ending was somewhat unexpected.
He was inexplicably taken away after disembarking from the ship. He not only saw Kashiwagi in person, but also successfully landed on the Academy Island that he had originally intended to sneak into.
Even though it seemed as if he had been captured.
Is this really the same person?
Silver's gaze shifted between Kashiwagi's back and the obediently following Milton, the unfamiliar Pokémon piquing his interest.
"curious?"
Noticing his gaze, Kashiwagi turned slightly to the side and said in a relaxed tone, "It's Milton, a Pokémon that has never visited the modern world before."
future?
Xiao Yin was stunned for a moment, almost thinking she had misheard.
Kashiwagi smiled and said, "I'll tell you the details when I have the chance. Come inside with me first."
This made Xiao Yin realize that they had left the dock area and were now inside the actual campus of Orei Academy.
He looked around and was struck by something quite different from the bustling, warm atmosphere of a typical school. The vast campus was spacious and clean, yet strangely quiet, even desolate.
Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the stone path.
Among the flowerbeds and bushes by the roadside, several wild Pokémon slept soundly, completely unguarded, as if this were not an academy, but a natural habitat where no one would disturb them.
The walking grass dozed off against the haystack, its leaves rising and falling gently with its breath; the sunflower seeds, having basked in the sun, swayed to one side, as if about to fall asleep; a foam squirrel curiously peeked out from the grass, but upon seeing the person, it darted back in, leaving only the tip of its furry tail swaying gently outside.
Xiao Yin couldn't help but ask, "What..."
"Nobody here?"
Bai Mu finished speaking for him and said with a smile, "Don't rush, come with me."
The two then went into the nearest teaching building, where he saw students sitting upright through the clean and bright windows.
On the podium is a highly paid math teacher, who is teaching the basic rules and formulas of mathematics.
Little Silver fell silent for a long time before saying, "Isn't this... Trainer School? Why do we have to have math classes?"
He truly couldn't comprehend what he was seeing. As Giovanni's son, he had naturally attended a Trainer Academy. Generally speaking, the school atmosphere was extremely free; many students didn't even attend math classes, let alone math ones.
Is Ole College rather unconventional?
Kashiwagi said, "I've always believed that basic knowledge is very important. You don't need to be an expert in subjects like language, math, or history, but you can't be completely ignorant of them either. This is also very necessary for trainers."
Xiao Yin couldn't fully understand.
There are far too many trainers in this world who only know how to raise Pokémon.
Kashiwagi said softly, "But truly powerful people are always those who know how to think, understand the rules, and understand how the world works. I hope they can broaden their horizons."
Xiao Yin replied, "Learning these things... is that all it takes?"
"Young man, knowledge is subject to lag. Just like Professor Oak's haiku, many young people cannot appreciate that kind of beauty, but why is it so beloved by the older generation?"
Kashiwagi will never forget the poems he learned. As a young man, he could not understand their profound meaning. It was only after he grew up and gained more experience that he realized what kind of chaff he had been eating.
He really wanted his students to experience this kind of emotion.
Without saying anything more, Kashiwagi raised his hand and gestured towards the corridor deep inside the teaching building.
"Let's go, I'll show you around some more."
Xiao Yin nodded silently and followed Bai Mu's footsteps again, her eyes filled with genuine curiosity.
The two walked along the teaching building, passing several classrooms along the way. Some were history classes, with the teacher using a projector to explain the past coexistence of Pokémon and human civilization; others were Chinese language classes, with students quietly reading aloud short essays and poems describing Pokémon.
Finally, the two stopped in a brightly lit classroom.
Inside, students were taking a basic Pokémon course, with several Yorkshire Terriers and Brillows weaving among them, laughing and chatting as they accepted the food.
The teacher then introduced the habits of the relevant Pokémon, and the name of the lesson was displayed on the projector—
"Entering the General Department"
Little Silver took a deep breath.
In the corner, the Rockets' trio, dressed as teachers, quietly peered over.
"Who is that child?" Musashi thought Silver's back looked a bit serious.
Kojiro tilted his head and pondered, "Kashiwagi's relative?"
"How is that possible!"
Meow Meow shook its head in denial; it felt the other person's back looked familiar, as if it had seen them somewhere before...
The moment Xiao Yin turned her head, the three of them widened their eyes and quickly shrank into a corner, exchanging glances.
'It's the eldest son, Xiao Yin!'
'How did he get here?'
'Could it be that they've discovered we're secretly working and are planning to come and take us back?'
'Whoosh!'
The worst-case scenario has occurred: the Rockets trio are terrified that the organization will discover their actions and they will be labeled as traitors.
What should we do now?
The three looked at each other, their only hope resting on the cypress tree.
So why did they end up together?
When the Rockets' trio peeked out again, Kashiwagi and Gin had disappeared.
-
The two left the teaching building and walked along a path paved with bluestone slabs.
Neatly trimmed hedges lined both sides of the path, where a lazy cheetah lay on the hedge wall, its long tail swishing back and forth, curiously observing those who passed by.
A gentle breeze carries a faint floral fragrance.
"The school's greenery..."
Xiao Yin had wanted to mention this for a long time: plants are everywhere on this campus, and there's practically a flower bed every ten steps.
Even more remarkably, they were heading towards a secluded courtyard. From afar, one could see colorful flowers blooming in profusion, thriving vigorously.
Kashiwagi smiled and said, "This is the place I am most satisfied with. Oure used to be very desolate, with yellow sand everywhere and not a blade of grass growing. I really hope that what I see here will be lush and green."
Those who haven't lived in the old Orleans will never understand their dedication to plants.
As the two stepped into the central courtyard, a rich fragrance of flowers wafted towards them.
The number of Pokémon has visibly increased. This is the academy's courtyard and garden, filled with all kinds of flowers, which has also attracted a large number of Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon.
Students also come here for a walk during their free time.
As they approached the depths of the vast courtyard, the figure above the central fountain made Xiao Yin stop in her tracks.
There stood a giant of ice, its entire body made of ice, surrounded by a faint white mist, yet this did not impede the smooth flow of water beneath it.
Accustomed to immersing itself in the lake, it chose the garden, letting the fountain wash its unchanging body.
Silver knew that it was Kashiwagi's Eternal Pokémon—Regice.
Regice's orange-yellow facial dots flickered slightly as she sensed someone approaching.
"Chirp chirp chirp—"
"I just brought people over for a look around, you can go back to sleep."
Kashiwagi raised his hand to comfort them, then turned and said, "I sent them here to protect the campus and prevent external interference. When Kojiro and the others came before, their hot air balloons were shot down by Regischiru because they got too close."
Xiao Yin: "..."
He suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that he had entered openly and honestly.
The two continued walking, crossing the gravel road to an open area outside the courtyard, where more buildings came into view.
Library, science building, art building, student club building.
Everything you could want.
It was very different from the trainer school that Xiaoyin remembered; it was more like an ordinary academic school.
A gust of wind blew by, and suddenly the light and melodious sound of a harp was mixed with the chirping of birds and the elegant sound of a violin.
The two followed the sound of singing and came to a magnificent white building with an elegant design. Its function was written on the door: a concert hall.
This place also serves as a music classroom.
Upon entering the hall, one sees a man on stage, resembling a bard, gently playing a harp, with a bluebird singing loudly beside him, and a cricket and a mage pulling long strings in front of him.
A group of students sat below, listening quietly.
Silver noticed another rock giant standing in the corner; it was Regirock.
Kashiwagi continued, "Regilock observes the world through vibrations, so it can also appreciate the beauty of music."
Music, in essence, is vibration.
Xiao Yin nodded silently.
After leaving the concert hall, they walked for a few more minutes and arrived at the last and largest area—
Battle Zone.
Seeing the spacious area, Xiao Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of a Trainer Academy!
What made him even more relaxed was that there were students in the battle area at this time, and Kashiwagi had obviously arranged battle lessons.
At the same time, the third legendary giant, Registeel, is also located here.
The two attracted some attention, but the teacher's reprimand drew their attention back.
Currently, many students in the school do not have Pokémon, so the school will lend them Pokémon to practice during battle classes.
Xiao Yin looked at it for a while and found that it was the most basic content, so she looked away.
He turned to look at Kashiwagi beside him, took a deep breath, and said, "Can I have another match with you?"
"of course can."
Bai Mu smiled and nodded; he had already guessed that Xiao Yin would say such a thing.
The best way for trainers to communicate is through battles, regardless of their background or age difference.
"But it's class time now, so I can't play with you for too long. Let's settle this in one game."
Kashiwagi waved to Regischiru in the distance, "I'm sending it into battle, any objections?"
Xiao Yin naturally had no objections.
He just wanted to know how much he had grown over the past year.
This battle symbolizes a continuation of that night.
to be frank.
Xiao Yin knew he was unlikely to win and didn't know what the point of his actions was, but he just wanted to fight Kashiwagi.
We arrived at a location that was some distance from the students who were having class.
The two stood still.
Silver calmed his inner turmoil and threw the Poké Ball forward.
Bang!
"Oh dear!"
The massive crocodile suddenly appeared, its sharp fangs slightly protruding, its thick and powerful limbs taut, revealing the strong muscles beneath its thick scales.
Kashiwa extended his hand in an invitation, "Please."
Little Silver gave the order without hesitation, "Water cannon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crocodile arched its thick body and opened its mouth full of fangs.
The next second, a torrent of water suddenly gushed out, like a rushing waterfall, and rushed fiercely towards Regischiru!
The water flow impacted the air, creating a loud "boom" that caused the surrounding ground to tremble slightly.
"Dududu-"
Regischiru's dots flickered, and his arms crossed to create a bright blue light shield, firmly blocking the water cannon and turning it into a mist that covered the area.
Xiao Yin's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He showed no surprise at this, and after a brief wait, he shouted, "Brute Force!"
In an instant, the mist that filled the venue was dispelled by a wave of air.
The powerful crocodile appeared in front of Regischiru without anyone noticing, and swung its strong, reddish-brown arms to strike the steel pillar's face hard.
Ouch!
Bang!
A series of loud bangs echoed, but the steel pillar silently endured them without flinching. Only the metallic luster lingered around the steel pillar, revealing it to be the [Iron Wall].
Despite his opponent's two consecutive defensive maneuvers, Little Silver seemed oblivious and continued shouting, "Use brute force again! Use it repeatedly!"
"Oh dear!"
The crocodile roared incessantly, smashing wildly at the steel pillar.
