Even though Beibei was already considered quite intelligent among Pokémon, the moment it saw this scene, its panda face was completely stunned.
"Sorry, Beibei. Pikachu is my Pokémon."
Under Beibei's gaze, the yellow mouse that had just been hostile toward all humans climbed onto the man's shoulder with practiced ease—just like how Beibei would sneak out of the zoo.
It allowed the man to rub its head without any resistance, even showing a comfortable expression.
"???"
Beibei tilted its head.
Seeing this, the man smiled.
"What you saw in town earlier was actually just a little act between me and Pikachu."
"Wan?"
Beibei still looked confused.
I'm just a wild Pancham—what do you mean acting? I don't get it.
Seeing Beibei's puzzled face, Chen Mo thought for a moment and said with a smile:
"How about this—you can think of Pikachu attacking me earlier as me playing a game with it. Does that make more sense?"
"Wan!"
Beibei's face lit up with an "Ohhh, I get it now!" expression.
Then—
It suddenly thought of something.
If they were just playing a game… then didn't it just rudely interrupt them?
[LMAO that's not the same thing at all 😂]
[Chen Mo straight up tricking a child]
[Beibei actually believed it??]
[Now we know why it never left the town…]
[Beibei: Humans are evil!]
Yi-ge soon walked out from the bushes with the camera, followed by the calm Xatu.
Even with another human and Pokémon appearing, Beibei didn't care anymore.
It awkwardly apologized to Chen Mo, then glanced at Pikachu on his shoulder—feeling something odd, but not thinking too deeply.
The next second—
Beibei turned around.
And froze.
Where the heck is this?
Ahead was an unfamiliar forest. The town it knew was nowhere in sight.
It… had chased Pikachu too far.
Beibei's expression turned blank.
At that moment, a gentle voice came from beside it.
"What's wrong? Do you want to go back to the town?"
Chen Mo walked up calmly.
"But didn't you always want to escape from there? Isn't this exactly the environment you wanted?"
Beibei froze.
Chen Mo continued:
"If you want to go back, I can take you right now. But this time—you have to think it through."
"Do you want to return to that peaceful town and live a comfortable life…"
"Or go back to your kind—live with other Pancham, grow stronger together?"
"Which do you choose?"
No one in the town had ever asked Beibei this.
They didn't understand its species—and they couldn't bear to ask.
Now, faced with the question directly—
Beibei didn't know what to do.
Scenes from that morning flashed through its mind:
"Beibei, try my dumplings!"
"Out early today, huh?"
"Beibei…"
The streets. The people. The zoo. The caretaker.
Even after just a few months—
It had grown attached.
But—
As a Pokémon, it had its own calling.
Its clan.
If it didn't return… that tall figure who always carried a bamboo branch would surely be worried.
Beibei's face showed deep struggle.
All this time—
It had been avoiding the choice.
Just as it hesitated—
Pikachu suddenly jumped down and walked up beside it.
"Pika, pika pika chu."
"Wan?"
Beibei turned, shocked.
Pikachu, wearing a knowing expression, gently patted its shoulder.
"Pika."
Then it turned around, hopped back onto Chen Mo's shoulder, yawned, and lay down.
Leaving behind—
A thoughtful Beibei.
And a stunned Chen Mo.
The chat exploded with question marks.
[WHAT DID IT SAY??]
[Translator please!!!]
Chen Mo snapped out of it, glanced at Pikachu, then at the chat, still sounding a bit incredulous.
"Pikachu said… follow your heart. This isn't a multiple-choice question. Just don't make a decision you'll regret."
[BRO WHAT]
[Pikachu is enlightened??]
[Did Chen Mo train its philosophy too??]
Chen Mo himself was confused.
He hadn't taught it that!
At that moment—
Beibei seemed to have reached enlightenment.
Its expression became firm as it turned to Chen Mo.
"Wan!"
Chen Mo understood.
He looked at it seriously.
"You've decided?"
"Wan!"
Beibei nodded firmly.
Chen Mo sighed lightly. The chat was urging him to translate.
He didn't hide it.
"Beibei said…"
"It doesn't want to give up either side."
"It wants both."
