One year later.
A full year has passed since that wedding.
This year, Xiaoyun once again returned to the championship routine.
Go to the Pokémon League headquarters to process documents, meet challengers, attend various meetings, deal with media interviews... day after day, week after week.
Cows and horses go about their daily lives, there is nothing to say.
But there is simply Paul.
Ever since Paul defeated Brandon, it seemed as if a huge worry had been settled for him.
He took the initiative to take on most of the administrative work of Pokémon League, including but not limited to.
Review challenger qualifications, arrange battle schedules, handle complaint letters, mediate trainer disputes...
Xiaoyun once suspected that Paul was possessed by something strange.
But with Paul as his right-hand assistant, Xiaoyun has more time to spend with his family, eating, walking, or going for picnics in the countryside with Dawn on weekends.
The days were lived peacefully and happily.
The only trouble is that his Elite Four is still happy to challenge him.
The most positive one is Paul.
Obviously this guy doesn't really want to be the champion, but the challenge is to never fall behind.
We have to come here at least once a month, rain or shine.
Xiaoyun asked him why.
Paul's answer is, "Keep the status."
Xiaoyun Believe him.
This guy is obviously addicted.
Pure addiction.
Subsequently, Pokémon League also held the Masters Eight Tournament event, and Sinnoh League once again won the first place.
Xiaoyun defeated his opponent with an absolute advantage in the final and successfully defended his title.
The era of Xiaoyun is here.
The news was reported in the headlines of all major media.
"Sinnoh Daily" devoted four pages to introducing this young champion, with the title "Light of Sinnoh, Unbeatable".
"Pokémon Weekly" did a special issue to analyze Xiaoyun's tactical style and growth process in detail.
For a time, Xiaoyun's name resounded throughout the Pokémon world.
But at this moment, these people who occupied the top ranks of Pokémon League were all gathered in the corridor of the hospital, so nervous that they did not dare to breathe.
Their eyes were all looking at the delivery room with the lights on.
The outermost ones are the three elders Qing'an, Lina, and Johanna.
Qing'an leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest. His expression seemed calm, but his legs shaking from time to time exposed his inner nervousness.
Lina held Qing'an's arm tightly, with a nervous and expectant expression on her face. Her grandson or granddaughter would be born soon.
Johanna stood on the other side, mumbling something, not sure if he was praying or mumbling something.
The rest of the people have also arrived.
Barry, Ayaka, Ash, Serena, Paul, Kenny and others are also there.
(Kenny: I just happened to be at home...)
This place is basically occupied by them.
From the time they got the news to when they rushed over, Xiaoyun had been accompanying Dawn into the delivery room for several hours.
Whether traveling or being Elite Four, they simply canceled all activities!
They feel that as the biological uncles and aunts of the little life that is about to be born, if they are not present to witness today, they will definitely be compared later.
They don't want it!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the corridor became more and more solemn.
"Why did it take so long? There's no sound at all. I'm almost dying!"
Lina paced back and forth anxiously, and Johanna followed her around. The two of them didn't dare to make any big moves, they could only circle back and forth, like two ants on a hot pot.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, the first time always takes a little longer."
Qing'an reassured.
I remember when Lina was pregnant, he was waiting outside alone. The feeling that seconds seemed like years is still fresh in my memory.
He looked at Barry and others.
This guy's life is really good. At least he has someone waiting with him.
"Qing'an... were you like this at the beginning?"
Lina grabbed Qing'an's arm with such force that the corner of Qing'an's mouth twitched.
She was really too anxious and worried.
It turns out that it's not just the person who is giving birth who is in pain, the person who is waiting is also extremely anxious.
"No rush, no rush, no problem, no problem."
Qing'an tried his best to comfort Lina, and gently patted her back with the other hand.
Zoey said at the right time, "That's right, Auntie, Dawn will be fine. You see she is in such good health, so this matter won't trouble her."
Barry:
"Dawn is the genius Coordinator that even Wallace has praised. It's just a matter of giving birth to a child!"
"Why is your metaphor so weird?" Ayaka said speechlessly.
"What's weird? It's all a challenge!"
Ayaka looked at Barry's natural look, and suddenly thought of something.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Will I experience this again in the future..."
Her voice was very low, but Barry still heard it.
He was stunned for a moment, then put away his usual playful expression and looked at Ayaka seriously:
"I will always be with you."
His tone was very soft, but extremely firm.
Ayaka's face suddenly turned red.
The people around him looked away tacitly.
Ash looked at this scene, nodded thoughtfully, and then turned to Serena: "It would be great if men could have children, Serena, I wouldn't mind helping you."
Serena was stunned for a moment, then reacted and his cheeks turned red.
She hit Ash gently:
"What are you talking about!"
But she thought silently in her heart: If she has Ash's physique, giving birth should be easy.
Thinking of this, Serena's face turned redder.
What am I thinking!
In the corner, Paul looked at the two pairs and moved aside silently.
Should I push back a little?
He originally wanted to move towards Kenny, but when he saw Kenny, he stopped again.
Huh, no need at all.
But as time goes by, people outside become more anxious.
In the evening, the setting sun and the moon appear together in the sky.
The corridor shone obliquely into the orange ground, falling on the edge of the delivery room and on everyone.
Then...
"Wow... wow..."
A baby crying broke through all the tense and depressing atmosphere at the scene, bringing with it the evening breeze blowing like the setting sun!
"It's out, it's out!"
"It's happening, it's happening!"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Should I be an uncle or an aunt?"
"Ash... Whether it's a boy or a girl, you are always uncle."
Ash:"..."
The lights in the delivery room went out.
The door was slowly pushed open after a moment.
Lina and Johanna rushed forward immediately.
"How about Dawnie?"
"How is my daughter?"
The two said in unison, they didn't ask how the child was, all they asked was Dawn.
Nurse Joy, who was responsible for delivering the baby, was stunned for a moment, obviously surprised.
Most people's first words are "Boy or girl?" "Is the child healthy?"
It's really rare to ask about the mother's condition in the first sentence like this.
But she responded quickly and said softly, "Mom is very tired and has fallen asleep. Dad is staying with her inside."
After saying this, she took off her mask and showed a sly smile:
"Don't you want to know about the little guy?"
Only then did everyone react.
Yes, I have a child! I almost forgot.
This is a must see!
Nurse Joy looked at everyone looking at him, and the anticipation in his eyes almost overflowed.
She smiled softly and said:
"The little guy is very healthy. Congratulations, it's a boy."
"Boy..."
Qing'an sat down on the bench and kept muttering this sentence:
"I'm a grandpa... I'm a grandpa..."
He repeated it several times, as if to confirm that this was not a dream.
Twenty years later, his children have also experienced all this.
And, he is also a son.
Destiny is really a wonderful thing.
Barry was the first to react:
"A boy? Actually, I like girls."
Ayaka rolled his eyes at him. "This is my child, and you still like him?"
Barry chuckled and leaned into Ayaka's ear:
"It's okay, we can have girls."
Ayaka's face suddenly turned red. She stretched out her hand and pinched Barry's waist:
"Keep your voice down!"
Kenny said quietly from the side, "Then Xiaoyun's child kidnaps your girl?"
Barry instantly exploded. "Duel, you bastard!"
Kenny Dragon King smiled, "Come on."
"It's a matter of life and death!"
"..."
Ash stood aside with a simple smile on his face, "Then I will be your uncle."
Serena looked at him helplessly. "You have always been my uncle, okay."
At this time, the door to the delivery room opened again.
Xiaoyun came out.
His face was a little tired and his eyes were slightly red, but there was more of an indescribable tenderness.
"Mom, please follow me to see the child. I will send Dawn back to rest."
He looked at Dawn's sleeping face in the ward. Her hair was stuck to her cheeks, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her face was a little pale.
Very embarrassing, but the most beautiful.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone came all the way here. I'll thank you later."
Xiaoyun bowed slightly to everyone.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoyun just keep an eye on Dawn." Zoey waved his hand.
"That's right, let's see our little nephew first!" Barry couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's go, let's go."
Ayaka ignored him, grabbed his Barry ears and dragged him away.
The next day.
Dawn has recovered.
With the accelerated treatment of Shaymin, Dawn no longer has the fatigue of yesterday.
She was sitting on the hospital bed and was in good spirits. She didn't look like someone who had just given birth yesterday.
Grass hedgehogs are somewhat useful at this time.
Shaymin: I'll go to school at eight in the morning!
But seeing Dawn's gentle smile while holding the child, Shaymin felt...
Forget it, don't bother with this bastard Xiaoyun.
Dawn held the child in his arms, Xiaoyun stood helplessly on the side.
A subtle connection made his eyes soften unconsciously.
"Welcome to the world, baby."
Dawn said softly.
When she spoke, her whole person seemed to be radiating holy light.
Is this the glory of motherhood?
Xiaoyun sighed secretly in his heart.
"So cute! Look at me, look at me, I am your aunt Zoey!"
Zoey was the first one to rush in and lie down beside the bed, staring straight at the swaddled little guy.
Without her, the children of these two people would have to be postponed.
After all, if she hadn't arranged the match, Xiaoyun and Dawn wouldn't have known how long they would have been together.
Serena and Ayaka also came over and looked curiously at the child in Dawn's arms.
There was a strange emotion in their eyes, which was the love and yearning for new life in women's nature.
"Want a hug?"
Dawn looked at Zoey and asked softly.
Zoey was stopped by one sentence.
She froze in place, her eyes moving back and forth between Dawn and the child in her arms.
"Can... is it okay? But, but I don't know how to hold..."
"This way."
Lina came to Zoey and began to show her how to hold a child.
"One hand is holding this here, and the other hand is holding the back, yes, that's it..."
What she didn't know was that everyone present was imitating her movements unconsciously.
Barry stretched out his hand and made two gestures.
Ash also tried to hold something in his arms,
Even Paul moved his fingers subconsciously, then immediately realized what he was doing and quickly hid his hands behind his back.
"It looks like Dawn."
Zoey carefully took the child, his voice was as soft as if he was afraid of waking him up.
The little guy moved in her arms, smacked his lips, and then fell asleep again.
"When I grow up, I'll probably be an arsonist again."
Serena said with a smile.
Xiaoyun looked at Paul standing alone in the corner, with a smirk on his lips.
"Paul, can you give me a hug too?"
Paul's body visibly stiffened.
"No... it can't be done."
He actually showed a rare expression of panic, his eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look at Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun seemed to have discovered something interesting and continued to tease him:
"Just give him a hug. You're welcome. You are his uncle, so you should get to know him."
Paul hesitated for a few seconds and finally came over.
Zoey carefully handed the child to him.
Paul The moment he took the child, his whole body froze.
His arms were stretched straight, his body was motionless, and even his breathing became cautious.
His expression was even more wonderful. There was a hint of panic and confusion on his face that had been paralyzed all year round.
"Just relax."
Dawn couldn't help but laugh, "It will make him uncomfortable if you hold him like this."
"I... I'm already very relaxed." Paul's voice was a little tight.
Barry watched with amusement. "This stinky guy will be nervous too."
Paul glared at him, but because he was holding the child, he didn't dare to make any big moves, so he could only express Rage with his eyes.
Soon, the child returned to Dawn's arms.
Paul breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had completed a difficult task.
This is harder than playing against Mr. Brandon.
"Do you have a name in mind? Do you want anyone to help me think of it?"
Barry looked at the baby, and his desire to name it reached its peak!
"I originally wanted Xiaoyun to give me some advice, this guy..." Lina stopped talking halfway through, sighed helplessly and shook his head.
"Isn't Xiaobai bad?"
Xiaoyun looks innocent.
His name is Xiaoyun, and the child's name is Xiaobai. How normal. Yun and Bai go well together.
Dawn helplessly held his forehead.
The people around him were also silent.
A great champion doesn't choose pet names so casually.
Is this his biological son?
"Xiaobai..."
Barry's mouth twitched. "Are you serious?"
Xiaoyun said seriously, "Of course it's serious, it's simple and easy to remember, and it's catchy."
"Why don't you call him Xiaoyun number two?"
Zoey complained.
"Isn't that even weirder?"
"You know how strange it is!"
Finally, Qing'an took action.
"My name is Brendan, leisurely and contented Yu."
Qing'an explained, "I hope he can have a leisurely life, not be burdened by the world, not trapped by fame and fortune."
"Follow your heart and be content with whatever comes your way."
"Good name."
"The meaning is very good." Lina was also satisfied.
"Brendan...Brendan..." Dawn read it twice, with a smile on his face, "It sounds good."
"Then Brendan." Xiaoyun shrugged. "Although I still think Xiaobai is better."
"Shut up." Lina glared at him.
So, the name Brendan was decided.
One month later.
Sinnoh people were extremely excited when they heard that their champion had a child.
But the excitement of the men seemed to be mixed with some other emotions.
"Sinnoh Princess is just to piss me off, he can do anything."
"Now that the children are out, shouldn't it be time for the champion to give my wife back?"
"What if he wants to have another child?"
"No!!!!"
Throughout Sinnoh Region, similar wailing can be heard everywhere.
At the same time, inside Twinleaf Town, it was a different scene.
The panic of being a parent is always reflected in lack of sleep and changing diapers in the middle of the night.
But it is these trivial daily routines that allow this young couple to truly experience their responsibilities as parents.
The principles stated in the book will not produce results without practice.
Xiaoyun and Dawn have really experienced it.
Today is the full moon, and everyone celebrates as usual.
"Brendan, grandma is here!"
Lina opened the door excitedly, holding large and small bags of Present in his hand.
Johanna and Qing'an followed behind, also looking forward to it.
However, when he opened the door, there was only Dawn sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Where is Brendan? Where did Xiaoyun go? In the room?"
Dawn raised his head with a subtle expression:
"In the kitchen."
"Kitchen?"
Lina was stunned. "Why are you taking your children to the kitchen?"
"I'm washing the milk bottles." Dawn said softly.
"???"
"???"
"???"
"What's wrong with this child? Why did you bring the child into the kitchen?"
Lina frowned and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Barry and Zoey followed behind, also looking curious.
They came to the kitchen door, but before they entered, they heard the voice of Xiaoyun.
And the more I listen to it, the more I get addicted!
"Brendan, in our house, you have to send a few things!"
"We don't have any idle children in our family. Now that we've finished sending money, we have to help dad do it, do you understand?"
"Come on, good boy, let's switch hands. Extend your hand, right, eh? Just right?!"
"It needs to be cleaned, and the bottles you send me should be washed."
Lina can't stand it anymore.
She rushed in and saw a scene that made her blood boil!
I saw Xiaoyun holding Brendan, and Brendan's little hand was still inside the bottle, separated by a small cotton cloth.
Xiaoyun is holding Brendan's hand and leading him in circles in the bottle, as if he were washing a cup.
Brendan screamed "baaaaah" and looked quite happy.
Zoey and Barry were stunned when they saw this scene.
They didn't expect Xiaoyun to be so talented.
Let a one-month-old child work?
You are this!!
Xiaoyun was turning the bottle when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He turned around and saw his mother standing at the door, with an expression of Forecast on her face.
"Mom? Are you here so soon?"
Lina said nothing.
She first took Brendan from Xiaoyun's hand and handed it to Zoey. Then she turned backhand and started a duel!
"What's wrong? What's wrong!"
Xiaoyun was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms.
"What did you say?!"
Lina chased him and said, "Let a one-month-old child wash the bottle? Are you crazy?!"
"Just this once! Look, how wonderful it is!" Xiaoyun defended while hiding. "Cultivating labor awareness from an early age is quality education!"
"Quality, you idiot!"
"Mom, listen to my explanation!"
"Don't listen!"
"Dawn Help!"
Dawn said leisurely in the living room, "Humph, I don't care about you."
Shaymin lay on her shoulder and nodded. "You deserve it."
Brendan was in the arms of Zoey, watching his father being chased and beaten by his grandma, waving his little hands happily:
"Eaaah!"
"Look, my son agrees with my educational philosophy!" Xiaoyun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"He's just watching you get turned on!"
Lina was so angry that he wanted to hit him again.
"Brendan Let's find mom. We can't watch this kind of bloody violence." Seeing this, Zoey quickly slipped back to the living room with Brendan in his arms.
Dawn gently took Brendan and kissed him on the forehead. "Humph, dad should have been beaten long ago."
"Hey!" Brendan waved his little hands, as if echoing his mother's words.
In the kitchen, Xiaoyun's misery Growl continued.
"Mom! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Children should not be allowed to wash their bottles!"
"What else?"
"I have to avoid you when I'm washing the milk bottles... ah! It hurts, it hurts!"
"You dare to talk so much!"
