Chapter 182: Older Brother? No, wait... It's Uncle

Chapter 182: Older Brother? No, wait... It's Uncle

Bai Feng slowly spread his Psychic Power throughout the Forest, carefully searching for Xiao Zhi's figure.

However, he didn't find Xiao Zhi. Instead, he saw a flock of Spearow attacking a Pikachu. At this moment, that Pikachu was already covered in injuries and had fallen unconscious, but the Spearow still didn't let it go.

Bai Feng followed the Scene he perceived with his Psychic Power, severely punished the Spearow using Psychic, then walked over and picked up the unconscious Pikachu.

After checking, Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although Pikachu had many wounds on its body, there were no fatal Injuries.

Taking out a Berry that could replenish Stamina, Bai Feng used his Psychic Power to squeeze it into Juice, then fed it into Pikachu's mouth little by little.

Although Pikachu was unconscious, thankfully it still knew how to swallow and Smoothly drank the Juice.

As the Juice entered its stomach, Pikachu's unpleasant Expression finally improved significantly.

Next, Bai Feng had Bayleef use a Healing Wave on Pikachu, roughly treating the wounds on its body.

However, while helping Pikachu check its Injuries, Bai Feng made a Discover that surprised him. That was, the Energy Circuit inside this Pikachu was a bit too complex, even more complex than Bai Ye's Energy Circuit.

Is this the Energy Circuit a Pikachu should have? A Pseudo-Legendary's Energy Circuit wouldn't be much more than this, right?

Of course, Bai Feng hadn't actually come into contact with a Pseudo-Legendary's Energy Circuit, but a Normal Pikachu definitely wouldn't have such a complex Energy Circuit.

At this moment, Bai Feng suddenly thought of something. Could this possibly be Xiao Zhi's future Pikachu?

This is truly... fated!

As expected of the Electric God, it always has such a complex Energy Circuit. No wonder it has such high growth potential.

Helpless, Bai Feng could only continue searching for Xiao Zhi while holding the unconscious Pikachu.

Finally, from a nearby Pidgey, Bai Feng successfully found a Clue about Xiao Zhi. It had seen Xiao Zhi yesterday evening.

So, led by the Pidgey, Bai Feng found the edge of the Deep Pit where Xiao Zhi had rescued the Oddish. Then, from a Rattata not far from the Deep Pit, he learned the Oddish's dwelling place and finally successfully found Xiao Zhi in the Tree Cave.

Bai Feng's arrival startled the vigilant Oddish. They all gathered around Xiao Zhi, in Fear that Bai Feng would harm Xiao Zhi.

Bai Feng quickly explained, "I'm not a Villain. Xiao Zhi didn't come Home last night, and his Mom is very worried, so I came to find him."

The Oddish looked at Bai Feng with suspicious Eyes.

"What's wrong?" Just then, Xiao Zhi finally woke up. He rubbed his Eyes and said groggily.

"Xiao Zhi!" Bai Feng called out.

Hearing Bai Feng's voice, Xiao Zhi jolted awake, finally becoming fully conscious. "Older Brother?"

"You're finally awake!" Bai Feng said helplessly.

"Older Brother, why are you here?" Xiao Zhi asked confusedly.

"You have the nerve to ask? You didn't go Home last night, and your Mom was worried sick!"

"Oh no, Mom!" Hearing this, Xiao Zhi finally realized he had caused trouble. He quickly tried to stand up, but his Head hit the Tree Cave, so he could only cover his Head and grimace.

Seeing this, Bai Feng pulled him out of the Tree Cave. "Let's hurry back. Your Mom is still looking for you in the Forest!"

"Okay, okay~" Xiao Zhi nodded repeatedly, then reluctantly said goodbye to the Oddish. "Goodbye, Oddish. Take good care of yourselves."

The Oddish also said goodbye to Xiao Zhi with Tears in their Eyes.

It must be said that Xiao Zhi's affinity with Pokémon is indeed high. After just one night together, he had already completely gained the trust of the Oddish.

This is probably the heart of an innocent child!

Bai Feng asked with a helpless Smile, "You like Pokémon that much?"

"Okay, okay~" Xiao Zhi nodded repeatedly. "I like Pokémon the most! I definitely want to become a Pokémon Master in the future!"

Bai Feng rubbed Xiao Zhi's Head. "Not bad, you have ambition. But being a Pokémon Master isn't that easy. You have to put in Effort!"

Just then, Xiao Zhi finally noticed the Pikachu in Bai Feng's arms. He asked confusedly, "What kind of Pokémon is this?"

"Its Name is Pikachu, also known as Electric Mouse. It's an Electric-type Pokémon," Bai Feng replied.

"Pikachu!" Xiao Zhi repeated Pikachu's Name. "It looks like it's injured."

Bai Feng explained, "I just found it in the Forest. It was attacked by a flock of Spearow, so it got injured."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi immediately asked nervously, "Is it okay?"

"Don't worry, it's fine. I've already treated its wounds."

"That's good." Hearing Bai Feng's reply, Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Xiao Zhi was so concerned about Pikachu, Bai Feng asked, "Since you like Pikachu so much, how about I entrust it to you to take care of?"

Hearing Bai Feng's words, Xiao Zhi's Eyes immediately lit up. "Really?"

"Of course it's true! But you need to get your Mom's permission!" Bai Feng said.

If a child under ten years old wants to own a Pokémon, they must have their Parents' approval. At this Time, the Pokémon held by the child is not called 'caught', but 'kept'.

Bai Feng brought Xiao Zhi to Hua Zi. Hua Zi first hugged Xiao Zhi and cried for a while, then unexpectedly raised her hand and slapped his butt hard.

"That's for being naughty, for running around outside, for not coming Home all night..."

*Slap, slap, slap*~ The sound of spanking echoed in the Forest, accompanied by Xiao Zhi's heartbreaking cries.

Bai Feng watched coldly from the side. He neither stopped it nor pleaded for Xiao Zhi. A naughty child needs a good lesson.

Besides, a childhood without being spanked by your Parents is not Complete!

On the way back, Xiao Zhi sobbed while asking his Mom, "Mom... *hic*~ Can I... *hic*~ keep the Older Brother... *hic*~ the Pikachu in his hand... *hic*~"

Xiao Zhi's Mom was furious. "You still dare to make demands of me?"

"But... *hic*~ But~ *hic*~" Xiao Zhi shrank his Neck, and Tears welled up in his Eyes.

Just then, Bai Feng quietly said a few words into Hua Zi's ear.

"Miss Hua Zi, Xiao Zhi went to the Forest because he was chasing Pokémon. He likes Pokémon so much, you can't stop him. Instead of letting him fall into such a dangerous Situation next time, it's better to let him keep a Pokémon. It's better to guide than to block."

After hearing Bai Feng's words, Hua Zi was thoughtful. Then, under Xiao Zhi's surprised gaze, she said, "Alright, I agree to let you keep Pikachu. However, since you've made the Decision to keep it, you must treat it well, understand?"

"Got it!"

Xiao Zhi's Tears turned into a Smile. He loudly promised his Mom, but because he spoke too forcefully and was too Excited, snot suddenly shot out of his nose.

Bai Feng and Hua Zi quickly jumped away from Xiao Zhi with disgusted Expressions.

"Hehehe~~"

Xiao Zhi wiped his snot with his Clothes and grinned foolishly at Bai Feng and Hua Zi.

"Xiao Zhi!!!" Seeing this Scene, Hua Zi was enraged. "How many times have I told you not to wipe your snot with your Clothes!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi froze, then turned and ran, while Hua Zi transformed into an enraged Pyroar and chased after him.

Just like that, the three of them playfully walked out of the Forest.

To thank Bai Feng for helping find Xiao Zhi, Hua Zi enthusiastically invited Bai Feng to be a guest at their Home. Bai Feng couldn't refuse and had to agree.

Seeing that it was almost Noon, Hua Zi went to the Kitchen to prepare Lunch and insisted that Bai Feng stay and eat Lunch before leaving.

Bai Feng wanted to go to the Kitchen to help, but Hua Zi disagreed, saying only that Bai Feng should go play with Xiao Zhi and she could manage by herself.

Helpless, Bai Feng had no choice but to let out Buneary and have Buneary go help Hua Zi.

When Bai Feng arrived at Xiao Zhi's Room, he saw Xiao Zhi enthusiastically setting up new Bedding for Pikachu.

There were many Toys in his Room, including a Toy Bed that was very suitable for Pikachu to sleep in. Although this Bed was a Toy, it was made very realistically and exquisitely.

Xiao Zhi took out the Toy Bed, put a Bed Sheet on it, added a Blanket and a Pillow, then carefully placed the still sleeping Pikachu onto it.

"Pikachu, get some good rest!" Xiao Zhi said softly to Pikachu.

Seeing this, Bai Feng said to Xiao Zhi, "Pikachu is a very timid Pokémon. It becomes very shy when interacting with Strangers. You need to be patient when getting along with it."

Xiao Zhi said with a confident expression, "Don't worry, Older Brother, I'm Sure I can become Good Friends with Pikachu."

Hearing this, Bai Feng stopped talking. I don't doubt that you can become Good Friends with Pikachu, but if you pay a little more attention, you might get hit by Thundershock fewer times.

Never mind, the Super True Person isn't afraid of Thundershock anyway!

Soon, Hua Zi and Buneary finished making Lunch. Hua Zi beckoned Bai Feng to the table and said, "Bai Feng, your Buneary is really amazing. It cooks even more Smoothly than I do."

"Really? Is it even tastier than Mom's cooking?" Xiao Zhi jumped to the side of the table, reached out, and grabbed a piece of food he hadn't seen before from the Plate and put it in his mouth.

"No Rules!" Hua Zi slapped Xiao Zhi hard.

"Hehe~~" Xiao Zhi said with a Smile while chewing the Food in his mouth, "There are no Others here! It's really delicious, really delicious, but I still think Mom's cooking is the best."

Hearing this, Hua Zi glared at Xiao Zhi.

"Eat more, don't be shy, just treat this as your own Home!" During the meal, Hua Zi kept putting Dishes on Bai Feng's Plate.

Seeing Bai Feng eating happily, Hua Zi's face was full of Smiles.

As she watched, Hua Zi suddenly said, "I don't know why, but when I look at you, I always feel like you look a little familiar!"

Bai Feng laughed, "Maybe I have a common face?" Impossible, I'm so handsome it shakes the heavens and earth!

Just then, Xiao Zhi suddenly raised his hand and said, "I know, I know!"

"What do you know?" Hua Zi said, looking speechless.

"I just know!" Saying that, Xiao Zhi quickly jumped down from the Chair and ran towards Hua Zi's Room.

"Hey~ What are you running to my Room for?" Hua Zi said helplessly.

Xiao Zhi quickly came out of the Room, holding a picture frame in his hand. He placed the picture frame on the table, pointed at a person in it, and said, "Mom, look, doesn't he look like him?"

Bai Feng looked along the picture frame and saw what should have been a family photo.

There were a total of four people in the Photo. Two young men and women stood side by side, looking like a couple. In front of the couple stood a Young Man with a bright Smile, and in the wife's arms was a baby.

The person Xiao Zhi was pointing at was the husband among the couple in the Photo.

At the same Time, Bai Feng also made a Discover. He looked at least fifty to sixty percent similar to the man in the Photo.

Hua Zi looked at the Photo, then looked at Bai Feng. Her Expression suddenly became serious. She immediately grabbed the Photo and repeatedly compared Bai Feng with the man in the Photo.

"No way, it can't be such a coincidence, right?" Hua Zi muttered to herself.

Bai Feng's heart skipped a beat. He then asked confusedly, "Miss Hua Zi, who are the people in the Photo?"

Hua Zi held the Photo facing Bai Feng and began introducing it to Bai Feng. "These are my father-in-law and mother-in-law. This Young Man is Xiao Zhi's Dad when he was little, and this baby... is Xiao Zhi's Dad's younger brother, which means Xiao Zhi's Uncle."

Bai Feng: ...

No way...

"Then Xiao Zhi's Uncle now..." Bai Feng asked with some difficulty.

"He's missing..." Hua Zi sighed deeply and said, "More than ten years ago, my father-in-law and mother-in-law took my younger brother-in-law on a trip by Ship. Along the way, they encountered powerful Wild Pokémon attacking the Ship. In the end, the entire Ship sank, and since then, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and younger brother-in-law have all been unaccounted for."

After saying this, Hua Zi looked at Bai Feng with anticipation and asked, "Bai Feng, can I ask... about your Parents..."

Bai Feng gave a wry Smile and explained, "I don't know who my biological Parents are. I was found and raised by my adoptive mother on an Island. My adoptive mother is a Gardevoir."

"Really?!" Hua Zi's Eyes widened. At the same Time, her Guess became even more Sure.

At this moment, Hua Zi desperately wanted to tell her husband this good news immediately.

Ever since her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and younger brother-in-law went missing, her husband had been like a changed person, even his Smile had disappeared. Only she knew how much Effort her husband had put into searching for his parents and younger brother.

To hide the Sadness in his heart, her husband never mentioned his parents or younger brother at Home. All the Photos of them were also put away by her husband, so much so that since Xiao Zhi was born, he didn't know what his grandparents and Uncle looked like.

Wait~ That's not right. How did Xiao Zhi know where this Photo was hidden? This brat, he's been rummaging through the Home again, hasn't he!

But never mind today, the Matter of the younger brother-in-law is more important!

Xiao Zhi didn't know he had escaped a beating. He looked at his Mom, then at Bai Feng, and for a Moment, he didn't understand what they were talking about.

What father-in-law, mother-in-law, younger brother-in-law... The adult World is so complicated!

Xiao Zhi's Dad hadn't been Home for almost two years because he was out executing a Task. Hua Zi couldn't contact him at the Moment and couldn't help but feel a little anxious!

That's right! DNA Test!

They could do a DNA Test. Although Xiao Zhi's Dad wasn't at Home, Xiao Zhi was.

As long as it could be proven that Bai Feng and Xiao Zhi were related, wouldn't Bai Feng's Identity be self-evident?

"Bai Feng, I'd like... to ask you and Xiao Zhi to do a DNA Test." Hua Zi hesitated before speaking.

"Okay!" Bai Feng agreed without hesitation.

In reality, what Bai Feng didn't know was that the place where his senior had summoned him to the Pokémon World was precisely the Kanto Region, which was why Gardevoir appeared in Viridian Forest waiting.
