"Cyan, Cyan, where are you?" A clear and bold voice came from a distance.
"I know, I'll go back right away!"
A young man wearing a blue and white shirt with a vivid Pikachu printed on it stood up, placed his hands in the shape of a trumpet in front of his mouth, and responded loudly.
"Hurry up, your mother is asking you to come back for dinner!" The urgent voice came again.
Thinking of how his mother would be furious when she saw that he was late, the boy shuddered unconsciously.
"Curse..."
A reluctant voice sounded beside the young man.
"I'm sorry, Butterfree, I have to go back right away." Cyan tilted his head in embarrassment.
"Hey..." Butterfree landed on the young man's shoulder, her eyelids drooping.
Cyan gently stroked Butterfree's head with his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I promise you, I'll come over to play with you again tomorrow?"
"Bah!" When Butterfree heard this, she immediately became energetic, spread her wings, and kept spinning around the boy.
It was as if she was telling him: We made an agreement, but you can't break your promise.
Cyan waved to Butterfree, who was still flying in the sky: "Goodbye, Butterfree, you should go back early. By the way, there has been some instability in the mountains recently. I heard that the restless Pinsir have returned. There's a fight with the Scyther, you have to be careful to avoid them."
Butterfree flapped her wings casually, and bits of silver light fell from her wings, scattering beautiful light spots under the sunlight.
This scene seemed to be telling the boy: I am still strong and there is no need to worry.
Cyan smiled: "See you tomorrow!"
Then he turned around and started on his way home.
Butterfree was still flying in the sky, watching the boy's figure go away little by little...
After a long time, she reluctantly flew back towards the mountains behind her...
Cyan turned his head, put one hand on his forehead, and looked towards the sunset on the horizon.
He opened his fingers on the other hand and faced the setting sun.
In the young man's eyes, he seemed to have caught the entire sun!
The afterglow of the setting sun leaked through his fingers, and the young man unconsciously smiled slightly.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Cyan greeted his parents when he returned home.
"Sit down as soon as you get back. If it's any later, your mother will almost lose her temper again."
In the living room, a sturdy man wearing green work clothes was sitting. Hearing the sound, he immediately got up and walked out.
He is Cyan's father, Daniel Oak.
At this time, a woman wearing a red apron with a cute Dodrio embroidered on it was walking out of the kitchen. Although she was only twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, the years seemed to have scratched her face with shallow marks.
This is Cyan's mother, Reiko Kawana, and at this moment she is holding two plates of dishes in her hands, both of which Cyan likes to eat.
"You're back?" Mother Reiko smiled and said to Cyan: "Today, mother specially cooked your favorite dish. Hurry up and sit down to try it!"
"Thank you, Mom!" Cyan responded with a smile.

At the dinner table, Cyan's family was enjoying dinner happily.
"By the way, son, the school term for the ranger academy will be in one week, right?" Dad Daniel Oak asked while grabbing his meal.
Cyan put down his chopsticks: "Yes, Dad, the news about the opening of the Forest Ranger Academy was just sent to my mailbox yesterday."
Mom Reiko also put down her bowls and chopsticks: "Cyan, if mom remembers correctly, doesn't the school require you to bring your own Pokémon to school this semester?"
"Yes, the notice specifically mentioned this..."
After saying that, the whole family fell into silence, and even Daniel Oak, who had been picking up the food just now, had a solemn look on his face.
"Cyan, it's your fault that Dad is useless. He hasn't found a suitable Pokémon for you for so long. Dad is sorry for you..."
Cyan quickly stood up: "Dad, please don't say that. Isn't this the Pokémon egg you left for me, the descendant of your Rapidash? How can you say there is no suitable Pokémon?"
"But, the Rapidash Pokémon Egg is just for..." Daniel Oak was a little depressed: "Forget it, let's not talk about it."
At this time, Mother Reiko said: "Cyan, you know the situation of our family. In the past two days, your father has traveled to all the areas around here for this matter, but he has not found a suitable Pokémon. It is really..."
Cyan didn't want his parents to talk any more, so he immediately interrupted: "Mom, don't worry, even if there is only Ponyta, you have to believe that your son will definitely make a difference!"
"Good boy..." Mom Reiko's eyes were a little moist: "Mom believes in you. In the past two years, you have never come back without a first-place certificate. Mom believes you can definitely find your own way!"

After finishing the meal, his father Daniel Oak returned to the room and took out an incubator, and inside it was the Pokémon Egg of the Ponyta that Cyan had just mentioned.
"Cyan, my Rapidash is just a Pokémon with average qualifications, so the qualifications of its descendants are likely to be just like this. Dad has traveled almost everywhere he can in the past two days to find a Pokémon with good qualifications. I really couldn't find one."
Cyan took the incubator from his father Daniel Oak's arms: "Dad, please stop talking. I understand all this, and I won't care. At the same time, please rest assured that I will take good care of it."
Gently passing his hand over the incubator, Cyan said with a smile: "Maybe he will be more powerful than his father, your Rapidash, in the future. Dad, you have to believe in your son."
Although Daniel Oak knew that Cyan was just comforting him, and although he was very proud to have such a sensible son, there was still a feeling of guilt in his heart that could not be dissipated.
Yes, my son will definitely surpass your father and me in the future. I have always believed in this, father!"
---
Cyan returned to the room and placed the incubator on the desk in front of the window.
Cyan lowered his head and pulled out a book from a pile of books. What was clearly written on it was "Record of the Training of Ponyta."
This was given to him by his father a long time ago. It records the entire process of breeding Ponyta to Rapidash after his father got the Ponyta.
Detailed and solid.
Although Cyan has read it countless times, he can learn something new every time he opens it.
"Reviewing the past makes you learn the new. I have heard this sentence countless times in my previous life, but I have never done it. I didn't expect that after coming to this world, I would have to do it every day." Cyan shook his head with a smile.
"But this sentence is indeed true. If it were not like this, it would be difficult for me to get first place in every semester..."
"I will hold the first place in my hand forever and won't let anyone take it away!"
