Memories and a New Catch

"Huh?"

As Bai Shi passed through a forest, he spotted someone crouching furtively in the grass.

If the person hadn't been dressed like a Bug Catcher, Bai Shi might have thought he was plotting an ambush.

Once Bai Shi was sure the boy wasn't after him, he relaxed and put away the Poké Ball he had drawn.

"Now that brings back memories!"

The familiar sight filled Bai Shi with nostalgia.

Bai Shi followed Kano's gaze.
