Chapter 152 The Final Ending
On January 16th, there is nothing to do today, and we will continue to deal with the big and small matters of Suchuan Town.
On January 17th, I had nothing to do today, and I was still dealing with the big and small matters of Suchuan Town. I happened to pass by the Pokémon Center to visit Miss Mary, and was kicked out an hour later.
On January 18th, I had nothing to do today, and I happened to pass by the Pokémon Center again to visit Miss Mary, and was kicked out by Miss Joey and Miss Mary two hours later.
January 19th, I had nothing to do today. I happened to pass by the Pokémon Center to visit Miss Mary. This time he was not kicked out... He was kept by Miss Joy and entrusted with this matter.
"I hope you can take this child to a place..." Ms. Joy glanced at the ward covered in bandages and was holding her head, staring blankly at the Koda Duck on the white wall, and explained: "It was pressed under the stone slab for three hours, and its brain suffered some injuries."
"Brain hurt?" Xu Qiansu looked at the dazed Koda Duck holding his head through the glass, and asked, "Aren't all Koda Ducks like this?"
"...I don't know which Koda duck gave you this impression, but generally speaking, Koda ducks don't look like this." Miss Joy sighed helplessly.
Xu Qiansu looked at her, waiting for the next sentence.
After hesitating for a moment, Miss Joy continued: "It has a trainer. After seeing its trainer, I hope it can help its condition."
Xu Qiansu was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Is its trainer seriously injured?"
"It doesn't count." Miss Joy shook her head, and then explained to Xu Qiansu for a moment.
After listening silently, Xu Qiansu looked away from Miss Joy's face, looked at Koda Duck, and then nodded slightly, "I will take it there, but I will not interfere with what will happen after that..."
"Yeah." Miss Joy nodded lightly. As a frequent hanger on the iSu forum, she knew a little about the man in front of her, "That's good."
Xu Qiansu pushed open the door and said to Koda Ya: "Come on, let's go see him."
Koda Duck hugged his head, turned his head slowly, and looked at Xu Qiansu. After waiting for a while, he jumped off the bed, stepped on the floor with his feet, and made a soft 'pop' sound.
Xu Qiansu didn't say much, and walked out silently.
Koda Ya looked at his back with dazed eyes, and silently followed with short legs.
The little marsupial also followed Xu Qiansu's legs. She turned her head secretly and looked at the duck curiously.
Seeing that Koda Duck ignored her at all, the little marsupial raised its tail slightly and shook it in front of Koda Duck's eyes.
Still ignored her.
As a result, she didn't pay attention for a while, and she bumped into someone's slender calf with a 'plop'.
Mary picked up the little marsupial, tapped her little head lightly, and said, "Keep an eye on the road."
Then Ma Li looked at Xu Qiansu, "What are you going to do?"
"Take Kodak to meet its trainer."
"Kunda Duck..." Ma Li tiptoed slightly, looking past Xu Qiansu at the Kodak Duck behind him, showing some understanding.
After working in the Pokémon Center these days, with Miss Mary's excellent memory, she can naturally remember the details of each Pokémon accurately.
She looked at Xu Qiansu and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Just tell it the truth."
"anything else?"
"Gone."
"Aren't you afraid of accidents?"
"What it wants to do is its business."
Ma Li nodded slightly. Xu Qiansu was a very complicated man. Although he always used fancy words to cover up his heart, but if you looked closely, you could find the persistence and gentleness in his bones, but at certain times, he seemed extremely indifferent.
And Miss Mary never interfered with Xu Qiansu's choice, she just asked: "Come back early tonight, the next door sent a big pot of honey made by Sanbee, I will make more honey sauce... After eating, you will send some to Caidou and Sonia."
"Honey sauce barbecued pork, won't you lose weight tonight?"
"Who told you that I'm going to lose weight?" Mary Dai raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression a little cold.
"Who else in this world knows your eating patterns better than me? You've obviously eaten less recently..."
"Secretly watching me?" Marie leaned back slightly, hugging the little marsupial, covering her chest, and said defensively: "It's disgusting, your behavior can already be linked to an idiot, Mr. Xu... oh, it's disgusting."
"There's no need to say it's disgusting twice..." Xu Qiansu smiled helplessly, "And I didn't observe secretly."
Ma Li ignored Xu Qiansu, she stretched out her jade finger, pointed at Xu Qiansu, and then waved her hand sharply, pointing to the door of the Pokémon Center.
After Xu Qiansu left, she gently raised her hand to touch her flat and soft belly, and sighed secretly.
"Karoo?" The little marsupial blinked and looked at Mary.
Mary was startled slightly, and let go of her forearm.
The little marsupial jumped down lightly, and immediately waved its little paw at Ma Li before following up with Xu Qiansu on its short legs.
Stepping on the soft snow, there was a soft 'creak' sound.
Xu Qiansu led Koda Duck and strolled on the street.
The atmosphere was calm, no one spoke, and the bustling atmosphere of Suchuan Town was rebuilt in their ears, which did not affect them at all.
Walking through the streets and alleys, the bustling sounds gradually faded away, the crowd gradually thinned out, and the atmosphere became more and more dead. Finally, they came to a cemetery.
This place is an open-air cemetery, and it is now afternoon, but the atmosphere is gloomy, bringing a bone-chilling chill different from winter.
A slight, suppressed cry came from my ear.
Thousands of people died in Suchuan Town, but not many were buried in the soil.
The burial has its own set of procedures, it cannot be so fast, and the people who were able to talk, laugh, and joke a few days ago suddenly disappeared. The absurdity of intertwined reality is enough to make everyone unable to react...
The trainer of the Duck is among them.
He is a thirteen-year-old boy with no father or mother. He is an orphan and lives with Koda Duck.
No family member claimed the body, and the alliance buried it directly.
When Xu Qiansu stepped up the stone steps, Koda Ya hugged his head and followed silently without saying a word.
It seems that wherever Xu Qiansu goes, it will go there, even if there is a cliff ahead, or a sea of swords and flames.
Sensing the familiar eerie atmosphere, the dream monsters emerged from Xu Qiansu's shadow and wandered around the shadow of the cemetery.
After crossing many tombstones, Xu Qiansu slowly stopped in front of a simple tombstone.
It is simple because there is nothing else except the name and the date of birth.
No identity, no achievement, or epitaph.
For the first time, Koda Ya looked away from Xu Qiansu's back and looked at the tombstone.
"The house collapsed, and he was crushed inside. He didn't wear shoes. He was in the entrance, but his back was facing the door..." Xu Qiansu looked at the tombstone and said softly, "He may have escaped to the door, or he may have just returned home, but no matter what, when the house collapsed, he chose to run inside..."
Koda Duck still didn't say a word, it held its head and stared at the tombstone with blank eyes, wondering if it heard Xu Qiansu's words.
After finishing speaking, Xu Qiansu stopped talking and looked at the tombstone.
The fate of this boy is so similar to the original one... He also had the dream of becoming a trainer, but one died in the forest and the other died at home...
After death, even on the tombstone, there are only a few insignificant strokes like this.
Koda Duck finally moved. It slowly lowered its hands holding its head, reached out to touch the writing on the tombstone... and then sat down slowly, leaning against the tombstone.
Still didn't say a word.
Just like this, he sat silently in front of the tombstone, as if he was still at home waiting for his trainer to come back.
Even if it can't wait anymore.
Xu Qiansu looked at it, neither speaking nor stopping it.
A few days is enough for the Galar Alliance to count the corresponding casualties.
Liliai, who had already returned to the Alola region, was sitting in her room, hugging Bai Huanghuang, looking nervously at the phone, her emerald green eyes reflecting the screen on the phone.
But I saw a well-dressed hostess with a gentle professional smile, soft tone, and clear words: "...Next, Gongmen TV will broadcast the latest disaster situation for you..."
"As of 5:00 p.m. on January 19th, a total of 396 Galar particle riots have occurred in the towns of the Galar region, and the overall trend is declining. There have been no new riots for twelve hours..."
"So far, the riots have been caused..." The hostess's originally soft and clear voice choked for a moment, and then recovered as before, and continued: "One hundred and nine thousand sixty... sixty-four people died..."
When it came to death, her voice was filled with suppressed crying for a moment, but there was still a gentle professional smile on her face.
"Twenty-seventy-five thousand nine hundred and twenty... people were injured."
"More than 90,000 people are missing... Missing..."
The young hostess sniffled and continued: "Among them, more than 5,600 people died in Suchuan Town..."
"Missing……"
"Mugang... More than 19,000 people died in Mugan Town..."
As she spoke, tears rolled down the hostess' cheeks. She could no longer suppress her choked-up crying, but she still tried her best to report clearly.
"Cuixue Town died 9,000... more than 200 people..."
"..."
"In addition, the total number of Pokémon deaths is 15,000..." The hostess raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and she didn't care about the makeup. She choked up and reported clearly.
"..."
"More than 65,000 people have been rescued, and more than 9,000 Pokémon..." At this point, her words were no longer clear, and only choked up.
She cried, and Lillie cried too.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent residents, more than 10,000 innocent Pokémon, they shouldn't have died, but this is their final ending...
...
January 20th.
Miss Joy carried the food box, medicine and scarf, and slowly stepped up the stone steps to the cemetery.
She saw Kodak Duck sitting alone in front of the tombstone at a glance, but... the tombstone seemed to have been damaged?
Ms. Joy hurried over and walked to the tombstone, but she was stunned, and immediately couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart... For so many days, she has seen so many life and death...
But there was a line of crooked and small characters on the pitiful tombstone that was originally so simple.
The technique is poor, the handwriting is not good-looking, and it is obvious that there is no experience and technology in engraving.
Small characters were engraved crookedly below the boy's name as his epitaph.
It reads:
"An amazing trainer"
