Chapter 3 The Oki Family of Pallet Town
Chapter 3 The Oki Family of Pallet Town
The next morning, Xuan Mingtian woke up right on time during the golden hour in Golden City. There was nothing he could do; people were already starting work at 7:30, and there were quite a few of them. The most important thing was not to disturb his sleep.
After washing up, Dehua and Xiaota enjoyed the sweet bubble tea of Miracle Seeds while waiting for the two gentlemen (Jiezilan and Zhulan). They had already treated them like gentlemen when they went to bed last night, since they could easily be tipped off if they were not careful.
"Hey, Xiao Lan, are you up yet?" Because Xuan Mingtian had been waiting for so long that he had already drunk two cups of water, he had no choice but to take the initiative and wake up the little girl.
"What's all the noise about? It's all tidied up. And don't call me Xiaolan, call me Sister Lan."
Looking at Zhu Lan, who was already dressed, he looked down on her and said, "Tch, you call yourself an older sister? You're only three years older than me."
"Hmph, being three years older is still older than you." Zhu Lan was also unconvinced. Just as she was about to use her newly learned skill, Jie Zi Lan also packed her things and came out.
"Alright, you two, stop it. You start flirting the moment you meet, don't you know any shame?"
"Grandma, it was Xiaotian who upset me." Zhu Lan's face was already red, whether from embarrassment or something else, it was hard to tell.
"Alright, alright, the car is waiting, let's go."
"OK, let's go, Little Tadewa." The three of them carried spatial backpacks, with Zhu Lan carrying Little Fat Ball (Gible), while my shoulders were already occupied by the two big shots.
As the scenery changed along the way, they got closer and closer to Pallet Town. Although he had only stayed in Goldenrod City for two and a half days, he didn't want to stay there too long. After all, there was a psychic girl named Sabrina who was a year older than him. But don't be fooled by her childlike appearance. Anyone who underestimated her would be locked in the psychic little dark room she created. Later, the little boy who kept shouting "Stand up" also experienced the same treatment. If Sabrina's father hadn't rescued Ash, they would have had to play a game called "Escape from the Dark Room".
So it's already troublesome enough that I've provoked one Cynthia; I don't need another one. Otherwise, I'd become a celebrity in the Kanto region, and everyone would want to come and see me.
There's something even more troublesome than the violent loli: the Silver Corporation. Yes, the same Silver Corporation that's always trying to break free from Team Rocket's control. While I'm not afraid of Team Rocket now, that doesn't mean those two old men (Cyndaquil and Cyndaquil) aren't. I can leave by releasing Tropius, but Cyndaquil isn't the Sinnoh Champion yet. And you're thinking, there's Professor Cyndaquil? Don't be naive. If she were that strong, would she need a marriage alliance with me? Do you think all researchers and professors are as strong as Oak and Snow City? Impossible. So, there's really nothing to see in Saffron City. At most, I'll check out the Fighting Gym and the Maglev train.
Speaking of that maglev train, I still get annoyed. Back then, many people in Goldenrod City bragged about how amazing it was. After my two uncles and I went to see it, we realized it was basically just our country's high-speed rail from our previous life. Although the Goldenrod City maglev train incorporated some advanced technology and Pokémon abilities, its theory was largely based on the high-speed rail from our previous life, so I lost interest after just one glance. I'm sure many people wonder why, since they know the principle behind the maglev train, they don't use it to build something in the Sinnoh region. But I can only say that people with such ideas are either overly idealistic or hypocritical. The League doesn't even promote this technology, so why would they meddle? Are they just bored? And if they did, could they peacefully farm their land? So, Xuanmingtian has nothing but contempt for such people.
With the appearance of Mount Tsukimi and the forest, I know I'm not far from Evergreen City. My next few years of study will be spent in this environment, which is great. This is the benefit of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city; it improves my mood considerably. That's why many city dwellers choose to travel to Evergreen City—it truly deserves its reputation as a natural oxygen bar. Finally, I can sleep in until I naturally wake up again after school starts! What did you say? You say I should study hard and attend classes on time? Please, that's the rule for ordinary people. This brilliant person can't play by the rules. If I don't miss any class knowledge and get excellent grades, I'll get special privileges, right? If that doesn't work, I'll have a pound of miracle seeds. If one pound isn't enough, I'll have another. After all, this brilliant person has a mine at home.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mingtian's lips started to itch again. In the car, he noticed that the two old men's eyes were not on him, so he raised his hand and slapped the corner of his mouth. He was not a crooked-mouthed little dragon and could not have such a bad habit.
When the two old men looked at him, Xuan Mingtian said, "It's nothing, my face is itchy."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan looked at herself with a strange expression: "Why does my fiancé seem a little dim-witted? Or is it just my imagination?"
We're not far from Pallet Town now.
Pallet Town is a unique attraction in the Kanto region, home to Oak's Lab and a popular spot for many untrained Overlords. But that's not the most distinctive feature of Pallet Town.
Pallet Town was originally called White Town. The reason for the name change is the Oak family. Professor Oak's great-great-grandfather, Shin Oak, achieved the feat of being ranked 931st among 10,000 trainers at the time. So White Town was renamed Pallet Town. Of course, there are some contributions that we don't know about.
Furthermore, based on what I understand, the mayor of Pallet Town also has the surname Ōki, since this was seen in the Pallet Town guide on the train. Therefore, according to what Xuan·Death God Elementary School Student·Mingtian knows, there is a 90% probability that Pallet Town is the location of the Ōki family.
"Xiao Tian, we're almost at Zhenxin Town. Would you be interested in learning some research skills from me? We're all family now, so don't be shy. I'll tell you everything I know," said Grandpa Jie.
Xuan Mingtian rolled his eyes: "Grandma, no need. After all, my goal is to cultivate a family, and I want to rest well in these ten days or so. Otherwise, I'll have to board at the academy after I start school. I see Sister Xiaolan smiling so happily, she must want to learn from you."
Cynthia stared at herself in disbelief: "What are you thinking? I'm going to become a Pokémon Master. As for you, you don't want to spend these ten days playing, do you?"
Seeing that Zhu Lan wouldn't fall for his trick, Xuan Mingtian had no choice but to resort to his charm: "Grandma, please promise me! I want to have some fun for the next ten days or so. I promise I'll study hard at the academy."
Fortunately, a five-year-old's coaxing was effective. In the end, Jie Zilan agreed to Xuan Mingtian's request and even sent him a human bodyguard, who was none other than the little girl Zhu Lan.
After some discussion, the group finally spotted Oak's Labs. It was a landmark of Pallet Town and easily recognizable. At the same time, Dehua signaled to Xuanmingtian; through eye contact, they learned that Oak's Labs was surrounded by several small ranches. A silent conspiracy flashed through Dehua's and Xuanmingtian's minds.
