Chapter 316: The Disappearing Comet, Jinghe's Wish
Chapter 316: The Disappearing Comet, Jinghe's Wish
"Kira Kyi, don't eat too much ice cream, be careful of getting a stomachache."
[Alright.]
Holding an ice cream in one hand, Kira Kyi lowered her head, looking at the vanilla ice cream on her left and then the creamy ice cream on her right, unsure which to choose for a moment.
Seeing her hesitation and indecisiveness, Jinghe sighed.
"Forget it, go ahead and eat."
As a mythical beast, it's not like Kira Kyi would get a stomachache from eating a few extra ice creams, right?
[Yay!]
The clever little one quickly winked playfully.
Jinghe shook his head.
Due to the increased foot traffic in the Battle Frontier and the presence of the Millennium Comet, many new shops had opened along the streets, all brightly lit up as if a festival was in full swing.
They walked along, taking in the sights, stopping to play when they saw something fun, and buying snacks when they felt like it.
"Hengga~~"
Gramps suddenly tugged at Kira Kyi's ribbon quietly, placing a finger over his mouth and making a "shh" gesture, signaling her to stay quiet.
Kira Kyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly covered her mouth with her small hand, her eyes curving into a crescent shape, and she nodded her head.
When they returned to Jinghe and the others, they were covered in a large white cloth.
They sneaked up beside Jinghe.
Suddenly.
"Hengga!!!"
Gramps shouted, pulling off the cloth to reveal a purple-skinned chubby kid with a mischievous smile, and Kira Kyi wearing a purple-skinned chubby kid costume with her hands spread out.
Jinghe: "..."
Gramps, you're even making fun of Kira Kyi's "skin"!
Although Jinghe had already spotted them, when he saw Kira Kyi's expectant eyes, he still pretended to be startled for a brief second.
He patted his chest, "Ah, you scared me."
[Hahaha—]
Seeing this, Kira Kyi immediately laughed happily and started rolling around on Gramps' head.
[Jinghe, you're scared, Jinghe is scared~~]
"Hengga gaga gaga~~"
Gramps also put his hands on his hips, proudly raising his head with an "I'm so cool" expression.
I knew I could scare him! I am the King of Fear!
Kira Kyi's little head nodded like she was crushing garlic.
[Gramps, you're so cool! Gramps, you're so amazing!]
Jinghe: "..."
Indeed the "King of Fear," even Abomasnow has been scared by you for days.
After that, they continued to play and stroll along the way.
By the time they returned to their lodgings, Jinghe felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Shopping with Pokemon was definitely more tiring than shopping with a girlfriend, especially with energetic Pokemon.
Gramps and the others were just too playful; even Jinghe, now a semi-professional fighter, couldn't keep up with their pace.
As for Da Wu, Yasha, and Li La, they had long ago abandoned their sense of camaraderie and ran off.
When Jinghe and the others returned, they were sitting in the garden playing cards!
As an experienced card player, Jinghe's interest was immediately piqued.
"So cute."
Du Juan's eyes lit up when she saw Kira Kyi.
Since they had gone to the Pokemon costume shop, Jinghe had bought Kira Kyi some gifts, including three star-shaped balloons she liked.
"So this is the Pokemon world's version of Dou Di Zhu."
After watching Da Wu and the others play a couple of rounds, Jinghe figured out the trick.
"Yasha, you're terrible at this. Let me show you how it's done." Jinghe rolled up his sleeves.
"Hmph." Yasha pouted.
She gave up her seat.
"A pair of Green Caterpillars!" Jinghe slammed down the cards, instantly displaying his prowess.
"Boom!" Da Wu shouted, slamming down two Lekongzuo cards.
"No." Jinghe looked at Da Wu in surprise, "I have a pair of Green Caterpillars."
How dare you play a pair of Mega Green Caterpillars to beat me?
"I know." Da Wu smiled and nodded, then discarded seven cards, "Sequence."
"I pass." Du Juan said honestly.
She and Da Wu were on the same team, so she wouldn't raise the stakes.
Jinghe looked at his hand and then at Da Wu's remaining eight cards.
"Okay." He reached out and gathered up the cards on the ground, "I don't believe that with seventeen cards, you can still beat me. Go!"
"Sequence." Da Wu put down his cards again.
Jinghe: "..."
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Hahaha— Teacher, you're not that good either." Yasha was the first to burst out laughing.
Soon, everyone else joined in the laughter.
Gramps laughed so hard he rolled on the ground.
Although Kira Kyi didn't understand, she laughed along, feeling happy to be together with everyone.
"Kyuubi, come help me draw cards."
Jinghe rolled up his sleeves.
"Woof."
A few minutes later.
"I don't believe it! Today, I haven't seen a single Lekongzuo!" Jinghe clenched his teeth and said.
After a round of Pokemon cards, Jinghe hadn't seen a single Lekongzuo.
It was incredibly unlucky.
[Lekongzuo?]
Kira Kyi, holding a balloon in one hand, tilted her head, looking at Jinghe's eager expression, and gently bit her small hand.
"Kira Kyi."
Jinghe suddenly remembered that he had a "Heaven's Blessing" Pokemon, the most beloved by the Old Man in the Sky.
[Huh?]
Kira Kyi blinked her eyes.
[Here it comes!]
Sure enough.
As Kira Kyi joined the game, Jinghe started dominating!
"Haha!"
Yasha couldn't help but tease, "Even when playing cards, the teacher needs to cheat."
Jinghe glanced at her.
You don't understand.
As a card player, why wouldn't you cheat?
It was already very considerate of him not to print the cards on the spot.
The seventh day of Kira Kyi's awakening.
Leaving the Battle Frontier, Jinghe and the others returned to the forest of stone pillars.
The night sky was filled with dazzling stars, and the Millennium Comet, with its long tail, gradually moved further away.
"After a thousand years of slumber, it can only awaken for a brief seven days."
Yasha pouted, looking at Kira Kyi, who was walking ahead, with a face full of heartache, "Why?"
"Kira Kyi is so cute and well-behaved." Du Juan's face also showed disappointment.
[Hmm?]
Holding a Wish Branch, Kira Kyi, along with Gramps, Ice Nine-Tails, Coalomass, and the other little ones, turned her head, blinking in confusion.
The Wish Branch was also bought on the street, and the shopkeeper said that if you shake it towards the Millennium Comet, your wish will definitely come true.
Unbeknownst to them, the one who purchased the Wish Branch was none other than the Wish Pokemon, Kira Kyi, and the little one genuinely believed it.
Da Wu smiled at Kira Kyi, indicating that it didn't matter.
"Anyway, it's been happy these past few days, and that's enough."
[Jinghe, let's all play together!]
Kira Kyi's body emitted a faint glow, blending seamlessly with the entire starry sky. Its silk sash fluttered in the breeze, revealing a naively adorable smile.
Jinghe silently put away his phone, no longer paying attention to the time. He looked up and smiled, saying, "Okay, let's play."
Kira Kyi happily floated towards Jinghe and then flew towards Da Wu and the others, eventually playing and frolicking with Gramps and the others.
[Everyone, I like everyone, Kira Kyi, I like everyone the most!]
"Actually, after sleeping for a thousand years, waking up happily for seven days might not be such a bad thing."
Jinghe smiled gently, "At least, such a long sleep is enough to make all living beings forget any troubles."
"Speaking of which, you're a little lazy pig too."
[Hmm]
Kira Kyi puffed out its cheeks.
But soon, it covered its mouth and giggled.
[Kira Kyi, little lazy pig, Jinghe, big lazy pig!]
Gramps had told it that Jinghe sometimes slept for a long time and wouldn't wake up at night, earning him the nickname "big lazy pig."
Now that Jinghe was the big lazy pig and it was the little lazy pig, they could be friends.
"Hngga."
Gramps shrunk its neck and quietly slipped into the shadows.
[Jinghe, will I be able to see you again when I wake up next time?]
Kira Kyi seemed to realize that it might fall asleep again, blinking its eyes expectantly as it looked at Jinghe. Its childish voice echoed in his mind.
Jinghe was taken aback for a moment, then hugged Kira Kyi close, whispering, "Human life is fleeting. Perhaps when you wake up next time, you'll meet someone else who can make you smile."
"Awooo."
Ice Nine-Tails whimpered softly, and Gramps peeked out again.
Even Gigaforg, Hachubo, Bear Apprentice, and Charcoal Servant couldn't help but look at him.
Seeing this, Jinghe smiled and said, "What's with those looks?"
He slowly raised his head and gazed at the starry sky.
"Perhaps, in a few decades, I'll be gone, but you'll still be here, and you'll all be even more amazing than you are now."
"By then, you can go and achieve what you want, find your original vision, and experience the changes in the world. As for me, I'll live on in a beautiful memory fragment of yours."
"Just thinking about this makes me happy."
"Really."
Life doesn't need to be long; it's enough to live without regrets.
These words made Da Wu and the others sigh inwardly.
Teacher Jinghe, you're so open-minded.
But upon hearing this, Kira Kyi drooped its head and looked dejected.
However, Gramps floated to its side, pinching its little face and chuckling.
"Hngga~~"
Rest assured, you'll definitely see him again next time. I'll make sure he lives that long!
"Awooo!"
Ice Nine-Tails nodded in agreement.
Then, the other little ones nodded as well.
Seeing this, Jinghe smiled but didn't say much.
Hilarious.
Do you little ones think you can decide life and death? Or do you plan to grab the head of the God of Life, Jirachi, and make him grant you immortality? Nevertheless, with Gramps' assurance, Kira Kyi became happy again.
As long as it thought about seeing Jinghe again after waking up, and seeing these companions and friends, it began to look forward to its next awakening.
The group chatted and laughed, seemingly forgetting the sadness of their separation, and arrived at Jinghe's original camping site.
Suddenly, the stars in the night sky became dazzling.
Kira Kyi's body also burst into a brilliant glow, and as it slowly rose, its eyes closed. On its abdomen, the True Eye slowly opened.
The Millennium Comet in the sky also sensed Kira Kyi's response and shot down a beam of light.
It was through the power of Kira Kyi and the Millennium Comet that this land remained so fertile.
"I guess it's time to say goodbye," Jinghe said softly.
The little ones, who had been so happy a moment ago, now hung their heads. Gramps even dug out a handkerchief and tugged at it with his hands and mouth.
Yasha and Du Juan's eyes reddened, and they pursed their lips.
Even Da Wu couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.
[Jinghe.]
Kira Kyi's childish voice echoed in Jinghe's mind again.
[You haven't made a wish yet. No matter what you wish for, Kira Kyi will definitely make it come true!]
Make a wish? Jinghe was slightly startled but smiled and said, "Then... I wish that Kira Kyi will have sweet dreams during its thousand-year slumber. May it be a long, wonderful dream that keeps Kira Kyi smiling all the time."
With such a wish, perhaps the long millennium would pass quickly.
[Jinghe, I'm so sleepy, I want to hear a lullaby.]
Jinghe hummed softly.
He wasn't a great singer, but Kira Kyi had been listening to lullabies to fall asleep these past few days. Gradually, he had practiced some.
It wasn't the most pleasant sound, but at least it wasn't unpleasant.
As the familiar tune played, Kira Kyi became quieter, and layers of purple ice crystals began to form on its body, slowly returning to its slumbering form.
"Hngga~~"
"Awooo~~"
Gramps, Ice Nine-Tails, Hachubo, and the other little ones waved goodbye to it.
[Everyone, let's play together next time.]
Kira Kyi's body emitted a dazzling light, carrying the power of the Millennium Comet, as it slowly sank into the ground.
At the same time, the Millennium Comet also gradually disappeared from the night sky, replaced by even more brilliant stars.
Hmm? Suddenly, a tiny fragment slid down from the night sky, falling towards Jinghe.
The fragment faintly glowed with a hint of green light, as if responding to something.
This was Kira Kyi's final gift to Jinghe.
[Jinghe, remember to think of me. I'll sense it.]
