Chapter 5

"Apologize, what apologize?" Xiao Mao asked with his head held high, pretending not to understand.

"Oops, I found you guys pretty good at pretending. "

"Xiaomao, it's only been two days, and you guy forgot about pushing me into the river. Ash came up to the boy who was about the same height as himself, and teased with a strange expression.

"Didn't Aunt Hanako say that this guy won't blame me...?" Seeing Ash staring at him with blazing eyes, Xiao Mao muttered a little weakly.

"What are you talking about?" Ash asked, leaning his head closer.

"No... It's nothing, I accidentally pushed you into the river that day, and it was indeed my fault, but it was also because you wanted to snatch the Poke Ball I caught. "

Xiao Mao, who was embarrassed by Ash's question, rolled his eyes and hurriedly defended himself.

"Huh??".

"When did that Poké Ball belong to you, didn't we catch it together?" Xiao Zhi, who fused the memories of the original body and knew the cause and effect of this incident, looked at the young man in front of him with a somewhat strange expression.

"It was indeed my fault for pushing you into the river that day, so in order to make up for you, Young Master Ben split that Poke Ball in half, and half of it, Young Master Ben decided to give it to you generously. "

"Xiao Mao, don't talk to yourself here, that Poke Ball was obviously caught by us that day, why is it now yours by you. Fusing the memories and emotions of the original body, Ash's character is also unconsciously moving closer to the original body.

The soul of a 22-year-old adult + the memory of the original Ash 6 years old, 22 + 6 = 28, 28 ÷ 2 = 14

Because of the original body lowering the psychological age, today's Ash is much more mature and sensible in Hanako's opinion, but compared with the previous adult soul and mind, now he does have a more juvenile heart.

"Ahh

"Let's just think of it as if we caught it together, didn't I bring these two halves of Poké Balls today, which half do you want, Ash?".

Without responding positively to Ash's question, Shigeru forcibly changed the subject, put the two gift boxes he had been holding in his hand on the desk, and then picked up the top box and opened it and asked.

"I want the top half. Ash picked up the all-red half of the Poké Fairway from the box

The Poké Ball that the two of them fished from the river outside the town was not a rare item, it was the cheapest red and white classic Poké Ball on the market that cost 200 League coins.

It is estimated that there was a trainer fishing for water-based Pokémon before, and in the end, he failed to accept the battle and threw it into the river.

For trainers, such a useless Poké Ball is a piece of garbage, and only children like Ash and Shigeru who have not grown up at the age of six and aspire to become trainers in the future will treat it as a treasure.

"Okay, the top half is yours, and the bottom half is mine. Shigeru said as he handed the red half of the Poké Ball in the box to Ash.

In my memory, Xiao Mao likes to do things with Xiao Zhi no matter what he does, and this time it is rare that he did not compete with him, Xiao Zhi felt a little unaccustomed.

Of course, when he reacted, his cheeks couldn't help but be red and hot.

", what am I doing, I actually 'grabbed toys' with a six-year-old child, what's the use of me coming here for this half of the Poke Ball?" Holding the half of the Poke Ball handed over by Xiao Mao, Ash looked entangled and desperate.

Thinking of the heartfelt and irrepressible joy after he just got half a Poke Ball from Xiao Mao, Ash was only full of shame in his heart at this moment.

Just as Ash was struggling with whether to return the half of the Poké Ball, Mei Zizi put away the half of the Poké Ball that belonged to him, and picked up the other gift box he had just put on the desk.

But just as he was about to open it, Shigeru, who was as tall as Ash and had short brown hair in front of him, suddenly stopped moving.

"Ash, that ...

".

"I'm really, really sorry I accidentally pushed you into the river that day, can you forgive me?" said the brown-haired boy with a gift box in his hand, raised his head and bit his lower lip, and apologized with red eyes.

"Uh-".

The adult's shame made him return half of the Poké Ball, inheriting the fused emotional memories from the six-year-old 'Ash', and making him reluctant to return such a 'treasure' to the other party.

Xiao Zhi, who was caught in the battle between heaven and man, suddenly heard Xiao Mao solemnly apologize to him, and he didn't react for a while.

"Isn't it really good?" Seeing that Xiao Zhi looked at him for a long time without saying a word, the manly tears in Xiao Mao's eyes kept rolling.

"No, it's not ~".

"Actually, I know that Xiao Mao didn't mean to do it that day, so I didn't intend to blame you at all, and you see that I don't have nothing to do now-".

Seeing that he was just silent for a moment, he actually made the arrogant and arrogant Xiao Mao in front of him cry, Xiao Zhi suddenly waved his hand a little hurriedly and explained.

"Really?" Hearing Ash say that he didn't blame him, Xiao Mao, who was crying, raised his head with some surprise on his face.

"Well, really. "Although Ash's biological age is the same as the other party's at this moment, he is six years old, but there is an adult soul living in his body.

Being looked at like this by Xiao Mao in front of him, Xiao Zhi couldn't say a word of rejection on his side, only nodded his head in affirmation.

"Then Ash, you won't break off my friendship, will you still treat me as your good friend?" Xiao Mao, who had unloaded his tsundere, looked at him expectantly and asked.

"Of course, we're still good friends. Looking at Xiao Mao with this appearance, Xiao Zhi also showed a sunny and hearty smile.

Recalling the original memory, whenever the children in the town said that he was a wild child without a father, Xiao Mao would stand up for him as soon as possible.

Although Shigeru is not a wild child, he is just the tail of the crane... Only I can say that he is the tail ... of the crane's and so on, these words sound a little dead and arrogant, but Ash does recognize Xiao Mao as a friend from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that what makes Xiao Zhi feel a little embarrassed is that in his previous life, as an orphan, he actually didn't have any friends to make friends with.

Unexpectedly, the first friend who made him admit so frankly turned out to be a child who is only six years old after crossing into the Pokémon world.

"A 6-year-old friend, co-authoring is really a child~" Ash complained a little funny in his heart.

"By the way, Xiaomao, what's in your box?" Ash asked curiously, looking at the gift box that the boy had been holding.

"We caught that Poké Ball together, so we're all half. "

"But at that time, I accidentally pushed you into the river because we were fighting for this Poke Ball, and I felt very guilty after you were taken to Tokiwa City Hospital. "

"Today I heard from my grandfather and mother that you were discharged from the hospital today, so I specially picked a gift to visit you and wanted to formally apologize to you in person. "

"In this box is the apology gift I specially selected for you, Ash, you can open it and take a look. Xiao Mao handed over the gift box in his hand and said.
