"A ticket to the Ferris wheel, thank you."
The lady at the ticket window was dozing off. Few people chose to sell tickets by hand. Hearing the gentle voice, she sat up straight and said,
"A ticket, is it? Please keep it well. "
The fingers that took the ticket were slender and well-defined. The ticket seller looked up at the person and smiled sincerely.
"It's you again … I wish you a pleasant visit."
The green-haired youth wore a white shirt with a pendant hanging from his collar and a cap. After taking the ticket, he put it in his gray trouser pocket and returned a smile.
"Thank you. Your Aiya Ball Mushroom said the same today, saying that it's very happy. "
The ticket seller looked down at the potted plant on the table. A small Aiya Ball Mushroom was rooted in the soil and sleeping soundly.
"Coming to ride the Ferris wheel every day, what a weirdo … although he's very handsome," the ticket seller thought to himself as he held the side of his face with his hand.
His companion was calling him. The ticket seller saw another conspicuous black-haired youth and greeted him.
He wore a thin jacket with his hands in his jacket pockets. Geng Gui floated beside him. There was also a never-before-seen Pokémon with a V-shaped head happily holding a balloon.
The ticket seller felt that the black-haired youth was very familiar, as if he often appeared in the trainers' circle. But intuitively, he could only describe him as "handsome."
He did not have the gentle and reserved temperament of the green-haired youth.
He was more like a tough and fearless captain, carrying a group of young sailors and surviving the whirlpools and big fish.
The two greeted each other and sat down on a park bench to chat. The ticket seller thought to himself,
"Oh, today is another day of knocking!"

"Didn't you go on a trip with Jekrom? Why are you in Levin City?" Lu Ye asked.
"Because the Ferris wheel in Levin City is the most beautiful and orderly in all of Hezhong," N said with a cap on his head and his hands on his knees.
Lu Ye subconsciously took the iced mineral water from Geng Gui and nodded thoughtfully.
There seems to be such a setting … N's biggest hobby is the Ferris wheel.
"Wait … where did this mineral water come from?" Lu Ye looked at Geng Gui.
Geng Gui removed the ice and floated to the side of the vending machine. He took a sip and said, "Yippee ~"
Lu Ye: "…"
Forget it, it's not the first time the vending machine didn't sell anything after I paid for it.
Geng Gui also handed N a bottle of mineral water. After being declined by N, he nervously held the ice cream in his hand.
"Koujie ~ |? ・ ω ・ `)" (This is mine.)
N got up and walked towards the vending machine. He smiled and said, "I'll buy you another can."
"Koujie ~ (ノ ̄ ▽ ̄)" Geng Gui patted N's shoulder.
Little brother, you're so smart!
Clang!
N bought a can of juice and milk and handed it to his shoulder. A Soroya with glossy fur appeared from the 'invisibility'. Its fiery red hair fluttered in the wind as it looked at Mr. Lu vigilantly.
"This child is afraid of strangers." N stroked Soroya, who jumped into his arms. "It's because it was hurt by humans."
Lu Ye remembered that juice and milk could recover more HP than medicine. When he didn't have money to buy medicine, he often stocked up on juice and milk.
As for Soroya, it was N's partner Pokémon. It looked like a black-and-red little fox.
Soroya was stroked by N's wide palm and gradually relaxed. It shook its ears, opened the tab with its claws, and drank lazily.
"It's Soroya's fortune to have met you." Lu Ye pulled the little fox's fur. It was smooth to the touch. He raised his head and said, "There are also many Pokémon who desire friendship with humans, and Pokémon who hate humans after being hurt."
"Yes." N lowered his eyes and stroked Soroya. He said gently, "I grew up with Pokémon who hate humans. I'm their only friend. That's why I've always had doubts about the Pokeballs. I once wanted to free all Pokémon from the control of humans and the Pokeballs and create an ideal world for Pokémon to live in. "
It was a hot summer day, and cicadas were chirping.
Lu Ye let Geng Gui come closer to enjoy the cool air. He said, "And then?"
"And then."
Soroya felt the cool air and changed into a comfortable sleeping position in N's arms.
N's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Then, I heard a different voice. When Pokémon and humans are together, they can also live very blissfully. Furthermore... that emotion called 'bond' is something that I have never seen before in a Pokémon. "
"Humans and Pokémon met and established a bond," Lu Ye said.
"That's right." N raised his head and looked at Lu Ye with his dark eyes. "Teacher, this world … may not be as beautiful as I imagined, but it's a world suitable for humans and Pokémon to live together."
N slowly increased the speed of his speech, his eyes flashing.
"Teacher, I know that there are untrustworthy humans and Pokémon who hate humans … but I'm willing to fight until the day my ideal world becomes a reality."
Lu Ye was silent. Then, he raised his head and sighed. "That's a very difficult path, N."
"Maybe it's because this ideal is close to fantasy that Czechoslovakia recognizes me," N said with a smile.
Lu Ye put his hands on the bench and raised his head to think.
He said slowly, "Using the Pokeballs to control Pokémon and ignoring the bond to subdue them —"
"I think I know what kind of people you hate, N."
"This Pokémon world is not beautiful. It may become worse. Even the initial love of those people is slowly disappearing. But as long as there is an ideal, it will become a reality one day. "
"I look forward to witnessing the day your ideal becomes a reality, N."
Lu Ye got up and extended his hand to N. He smiled.
"Let's go. I'll treat you to the Ferris wheel."
N raised his head and looked at the black-haired youth's face under the backlight. His eyes flashed.
It was like seeing a glimmer of light on a road full of thorns.
N smiled, held Lu Ye's hand, then got up and said,
"When I meet that kind of person, can I use Czechoslovakia to teach him a lesson, Teacher?"
"Of course."
The two walked towards the ticket window.
"Call me when the time comes. I'll call Lahiram to come along. This way, the crisscrossing lightning will double the damage," Lu Ye said.
"I don't understand, Teacher." N shook his head.
"It's good that you don't understand. Don't think that you can become the 'King of the Plasma Team' with Czechoslovakia. You still have a lot to learn!"
The ticketing lady handed over a ticket happily.
A ticket to ride the Ferris wheel … Ah, I hit it again!
**
Sitting in the Ferris wheel cabin.
Mr. Lu remembered that in the original work, there was a plot to ride the Ferris wheel with N.
But why did I come to Levin City?
Looking out the window, Mr. Lu looked at the scenery that was gradually shrinking. His expression gradually became strange —
Oh no!
I plan to ride the Ferris wheel with Mengmeng!
The one riding the Ferris wheel with Mr. Lu was not Sirona, but Mengmeng!
N turned his head to look out of the window, stroked Zoroya in his arms, and said,
"The beautiful scenery seen from the sky … I'll never get tired of it. It brings me new surprises every time."
Lu Ye was thinking about an excuse to be with Mengmeng later. He said casually,
"Why do you like the Ferris wheel?"
"Why? The beauty of the Ferris wheel lies in the circular motion … Mechanics … is the concrete manifestation of a wonderful formula … "
N said, "On the Ferris wheel, I can temporarily not worry about my ideals and concentrate on enjoying the regular structure … I think that's why I like it."
"I'm different from you." Lu Ye sighed. "People can do anything when they're forced into a corner —"
"If you don't know how to do advanced mathematics, then you really can't do it!"
…
After the Ferris wheel rotated once, N left the cabin door with Zoroya in his arms.
Lu Ye peeled off Geng Gui, who was clinging to the glass window reluctantly, from the window. Little V was still studying the balloon in his hand.
"What about Mi?"
"With the balloon, you're immune to ground-type moves," Lu Ye said. "Although it's a one-time use."
The [Balloon] item in the game could allow a Pokémon to gain the ability to float in the air even if it wasn't attacked.
"Goodbye, Teacher."
N stood still, pressed down on his cap, and said with a smile, "Although our meeting was short, I learned a lot …"
"You are the one I have high hopes for among all my students."
Mr. Lu said seriously, "Keep moving forward. Don't stop, N."
N's eyes flickered. "What you said about the coffee shop …"
Lu Ye was stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course, you can come to Miale City to find me at any time. However, the coffee is only free for the first order … "
"This is for you, Teacher." N smiled, took off his cap, and handed it to Lu Ye. "Although it's worthless … I still hope you can accept it."
Lu Ye looked down at the cap.
The cap was the symbol of the protagonist of Pokémon. There were only a few characters who wore a cap: Chi Hong, Dendi, Xiaozhi, and N.
Mr. Lu thought that if he accidentally became the champion, he would have to design a set of champion's clothes …
"I'll accept it." Lu Ye raised his cap. "Consider it an advance payment for your expenses!"
"Then … I really have to say goodbye, Mr. Lu."
N smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked out of the amusement park.
Lu Ye looked at the back of the green-haired youth. He had a hunch that was completely different from the last time they parted.
After this parting, it would probably be a few years later when they meet again …
Even the main team of Pokémon was forgetting their dream of liberating Pokémon.
How would N continue to hold on?
Lu Ye shook his head. Perhaps it was because of the cruelty of reality that N's beliefs were so precious.
Looking down at N's cap in his hand, Mr. Lu's expression gradually became subtle.
Wait.
Take this.
How would he explain it to Mengmeng later?
…
Half an hour later.
Mr. Lu sat on a park bench and tasted ice cream side by side with Sirona.
Sirona smiled and sipped her ice cream. She glanced at Lu Ye and said,
"You look nervous?"
"Am I? It must be an illusion." Lu Ye had already stuffed the cap into the reverse world in advance.
Sirona narrowed her eyes. "Then why are you sweating?"
"Ha, it's too hot … Cough, actually, I do have something to tell you!"
Lu Ye glanced at Merietta, who was sipping ice cream on Sirona's shoulder.
He said seriously, "Little V, come out and meet everyone."
Biktini appeared from "invisibility" and carefully looked at Sirona. He scratched his head shyly. "Mimi ~"
Sirona's eyes lit up. She said in surprise, "Victory Pokémon … Biktini?"
"Yes … I met it in Aindook, and then I followed it back like this …" Lu Ye said.
"I want you to explain what 'like this' means." Sirona sighed softly.
"Like this means that I brought Biktini and Merietta back to Miale City."
Lu Ye slapped his thigh angrily and said, "This is called 'like this'!"
Sirona raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh —"
This was the first time Little V met Sirona. He handed the balloon to Sirona. "Mimi!"
Sirona was stunned and asked with a faint smile, "For me?"
"Mimi!" Biktini bared his canine teeth and nodded happily.
"Thank you." Sirona smiled and glanced at Merietta on her shoulder.
"Merietta ~" Merietta licked her ice cream gloomily, looking a little jealous.
"Here ~" Sirona smiled and wrapped the balloon around Merietta's wrist. "This way, the balloon won't fly away."
Lu Ye laughed involuntarily. "Okay, I'll go buy more balloons … Whoever wants one, raise your hand!"
For a moment, the amusement park was filled with the cheerful laughter of the Pokémon.
Lu Ye said, "Sharquillas doesn't seem to have hands … Uh, I'll make it up to you next time!"
"Ooh! Ooh!!! "
The ticket seller looked at the scene of the family of two and the large group of little guys and held her cheeks.
So sweet … I hit it again!
