Dawn of Pokémon

Noon, Honglian City Third Hospital.

"Mr. Shenyu, I would like to briefly summarize the current situation of this incident."

"Well, please speak."

The silver-haired young man wearing a hospital gown sat on the bed, smiling and nodding slightly at the blue-haired boy.

After the battle yesterday afternoon, Xinghai, who was seriously injured, was sent to Honglian City No. [-] Hospital by his comrades for treatment and did not participate in the subsequent disaster relief operations.The responsibility of temporary team leader naturally falls on Executive Officer Su Hai.

After a sleepless night of work, the young Su Hai inevitably showed some fatigue.But he knew that now was not the time to rest - and he had no intention of resting.

He reported the casualty data of Honglian City citizens to Xinghai one by one.The city was severely damaged, but the number of casualties was slightly less than expected, and the number of confirmed survivors was increasing.

For the rescue team, this fierce battle undoubtedly gave them the upper hand.

"The above are the casualties of Honglian City citizens. Our rescue work is still continuing, and more people will definitely be rescued by us."

Su Hai spoke calmly and firmly, without any excessive excitement.

"Next... are the casualties of our members participating in this battle."

Seeing the investigator opposite him suppress his smile, the blue-haired boy lowered his head and looked at the notepad in his hand that only had some meaningless patterns drawn on it.

"Due to the surprise attack by Executive Officer Yoshiko Ayakawa... no, the traitor Yoshiko Ayakawa, Executive Officer Seiji Takada and his team were severely damaged. At present, Executive Takeshi Kadoda has been confirmed dead, and Executive Officer Junpei Takamura is still in first aid. The injuries of the other two executives are not serious yet. Executive Officer Seiji Takada..."

At this point, Su Hai paused for a moment.

"He is undergoing all-out rescue efforts and his life or death is uncertain."

The sacrifice of a comrade is always the saddest news for a soldier.This is not the first time that Su Hai has cooperated with Executive Takada. The two parties are not close friends, but they are at least sympathizers with whom they can talk.Thinking that the senior who had taught him sternly and cared for him silently was now lying in the operating room and could die at any time, the blue-haired boy felt a little wet in his eyes.

Su Hai knew that Investigator Shenyu and Executive Officer Takada had known each other for many years and were true friends.But at this moment, the reaction of the silver-haired young man was not as intense as Su Hai imagined. He just nodded and asked softly, "How are Ayakawa Yoshiko's team members doing?"

"..."

The young man was silent for a moment.This suffocating silence already revealed the answer, but Su Hai still suppressed the emotions in his heart and reported meticulously: "We found the bodies of the four executioners in a narrow alley. Everyone... Killed with extremely cruel means."

Xinghai lowered his eyelids.

This is not a surprising answer. Xinghai had anticipated this outcome after learning that Yoshiko Ayakawa had rebelled and snatched the memory card carried by executive officer Seiji Takada.

However, at this moment, he couldn't help but recall the night of the combat meeting before the disaster occurred.

Xinghai still remembers the man named "Hui Tai" who is very talented in tackling difficult problems and claims that his target is the orange-haired boy who became an executive officer before.He always said things he shouldn't have said regardless of the atmosphere, and was always scolded by the stern Seiji. He even reported to him jokingly, "Report to Inspector Kaminha, we searched for three days but found nothing. The above ”—and now, the young boy also collapsed in the cold alley, unable to laugh again, unable to make executive Seiji Takada furious, and unable to pursue his dreams.

As if to quickly break the dull atmosphere in the ward, Su Hai couldn't help but increase his volume, "There is one more thing about the free trainers who have made great achievements this time."

Seeing Xinghai turn his gaze to him again, Su Hai nodded, "Your son Xiao Tianjun's injury is not serious. He has been properly treated and can be discharged from the hospital within three days. The two members of the Xia Yang family suffered from mental stress. He is injured and is receiving special treatment, but the problem is not serious and he will recover soon."

At this point, the blue-haired boy hesitated, "And..."

"What's wrong?" Xinghai looked up in surprise.

Xinghai remembered the names of the four young free trainers very clearly.Regardless of his son and the descendants of his friend's family, Xinghai had a relationship with his son's hometown Xiaoye as early as in Rainbow City.He was indeed worried about the injuries of Xiaotian and the other three, but he didn't care much about Xiaoye - after all, at the end of the battle, it was Xiaoye who cleared away the enemies that blocked his path. The girl was obviously fighting with ease, and even more What's more, he also directly witnessed Xiaoye going to take refuge when the Phoenix King fell.

There shouldn't be any surprises.

"Free trainer Xing Yuye lost contact with us after the artificial Phoenix King was eliminated, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"Whereabouts... unknown?"

Facing Xinghai's somewhat stunned look, Su Hai explained, "Yes, we tried to contact her proactively, but we did not receive a response. The personnel responsible for patrolling Honglian Volcano also did not find her."

Xinghai frowned slightly.He watched Xiaoye evacuate toward safety with his own eyes. Xiaotian and others who were unconscious at the time were all safely sent to the hospital. Where on earth would she be?

"Fortunately, her name did not appear among the dead. We will send more manpower as soon as possible... eh?"

The windshield made a beeping sound - it was a message prompt that had set a special reminder.

Su Hai quickly checked the information, and his face suddenly became a little strange.

"Um...Mr. Shenyu, she contacted us."

"Ok?"

"She sent a message saying, 'The mission items have been obtained and are being sent to Honglian City'..."

"Mission item?" Xinghai was stunned.

"Yes. The mission item "Phoenix's Feather". "

When Su Hai spoke with a slightly surprised voice, Xinghai's eyes widened slightly.

He recalled an unimportant detail that he had almost forgotten.

When Xiaotian and his team broke into the depths of the research institute, he did issue such an order——

"The Phoenix King's feathers are the key. Before the countdown ends, no matter what method is used, the process of the Phoenix King's birth must be stopped. If possible, take back the Phoenix King's feathers."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoye arrived at the gate of Honglian City Third Hospital on time according to the address sent by Executive Officer Su Hai.

In order to prevent herself from being kidnapped as soon as she entered the city, Xiaoye had to wear the only intact coat on her body, the Rockets uniform, inside out.

Although it seems a bit stupid - no, very stupid - it is better than being regarded as an enemy.

Due to being near the hot magma lake for a long time, the power of Xiaoye's goggles dropped very quickly.In order to prevent the last bit of power in the goggles from running out and losing the only channel of communication with her teammates, Xiaoye had to temporarily turn off the goggles before the pursuit began.It is really a helpless act to create a "pseudo-missing" situation - of course, I still need to apologize properly later.

After showing her ID, Xiaoye entered the hospital without any hindrance.The Third Hospital of Honglian City is currently in a busy period of disaster relief. There are many disheveled disaster-stricken citizens, but Saya, who is wearing her uniform backwards, is not conspicuous.

She pushed open the door with the "Shen Yu" nameplate hanging on it.The silver-haired investigator was waiting for her arrival with a smile, but his ice-blue eyes contained more complex emotions.

More than 7 hours have passed since the battle ended at 04:30 on the 20th.Xinghai never thought that this ten-year-old newcomer, who had already experienced a fierce battle, would chase the two dangerous people all night and actually snatch the Phoenix King's feathers.

This is not Xinghai's original intention.He himself did not expect that his order would be carried out so precisely and absolutely.

Letting an injured young comrade carry out such a high-risk mission—First-level investigator Shen Yuxinghai is not a cold and ruthless person, and he will never give such an instruction.However, there is no doubt that it was indeed his personal orders that caused the current results.

"Hello, Mr. Xinghai."

The purple-haired girl greeted him with a smile, and the black uniform she wore backwards looked a little funny.Her expression was very calm, as if she had just done what was natural.

She handed over the item she had been chasing for more than 20 hours with her scrawled, bandaged hands.

"Fortunately not humiliated."

====================

The boy with reddish-brown hair kicked hard and smashed the branches and leaves in front of him.

They have left Honglian Island and landed on the mainland.The artificial Phoenix King plan was blocked, and the data of the mission target was copied - everything should have been perfect.

If there hadn't been the sneak attacker in the morning.

Luke will probably never forget that when the crystal blue sword light mixed with snow-white slashed down, he actually felt the fear as if he was being bombarded by ten crystal cannons.

He thought he wouldn't feel fear.

The light emitted by the boy's proud weapon was cut in half, and the translucent crystal shattered inch by inch under the light of the knife.The next thing that shattered was the skirt of his windbreaker and the skin of his arms.

The moment the blood sprayed out, he even thought he would die in the remote no-man's land of Honglian Island.

Thinking about it now, it was obvious that the other party had a premeditated plan - they had just taken back the Pokémon, and the Poké Ball was still in their hands to guard against a surprise attack at the loosest moment.Although he didn't want to admit it, Luke was indeed shaken by this sudden attack.

It took them a lot of effort to find Phoenix King's feathers, and they originally wanted to give them to their leader as an extra merit.But when the sneak attack came in force, Luke couldn't keep the precious feathers in his pocket.

"Don't bother, the wound will open." Bordo advised softly.

"To shut up!!"

The young man's eyes were red, and ferocious anger swirled on his face.

He made a vow to himself.

This matter will never go unnoticed.He wants to go back for revenge——

at all costs.
