Dawn of Pokémon

The unexpected separation of trainers and Pokémon caused quite a bit of chaos.It wasn't until noon that Saya and her group were able to catch up with the four Pokémon that were wandering around.

Seeing them looking equally confused, the trainers suppressed the lessons they had prepared.

——Both sides are at fault. It is better to forgive each other than to blame each other.

The altitude of Honglian Volcano is not high, but it is not possible to climb to the top in just half a day - so they found a relatively flat open space and started the first meal of the "touching picnic".

In some sense, it is indeed very "touching".

The four people spread tablecloths on the open space and sat facing each other——

Then they looked at each other.

"Ah, could it be..." Xiaoling seemed to realize something.

"...Don't any of us bring ingredients?" Xiaojie showed a horrified expression.

The golden-haired girl immediately jumped up and said dumbfounded: "Isn't it right!? Xiaoye Xiaotian, do you two really bring nothing?"

"Eh? Well, yes...because you mentioned the picnic, I thought you must have prepared it...Sorry." Xiaoye was also confused.

"We just came out of the hospital, where were we prepared? QAQ..." Xiaojie looked sad and asked with his last hope: "Boy Bingshan, you didn't bring anything with you?"

"I have eighteen suncakes." Xiaotian said calmly.

The air was silent for a few seconds.

"..."

"……what?"

"Why eighteen..."

The golden retriever siblings had dull expressions on their faces, while Xiaoye blinked subtly.

Eighteen suncakes... seems to sound familiar.

People can't help but think of the same amount of suncakes forced into their hands by a certain Mr. Investigator when he was at the Rainbow City Pokémon Center...

Fortunately, everyone had more or less rice and noodles in their backpacks.Coupled with the fruits in the nearby woods - although there is no way to eat convenient fast food, you will not go hungry.

"The nearest fruit trees from here...are in the southeast, about 200 meters away."

The faint crystal blue light circled around Xiaoye and then dissipated in the air.After receiving the data feedback, Xiaoye opened her eyes and spoke out the required information.

"Understood~ Let's go and pick fruits!"

Xiaoling smiled happily and took Xiaoye's hand, jumping forward, "The power of the waveguide is really convenient. My super power cannot detect such a wide range."

"Compared with detection capabilities, the power of the waveguide is indeed the number one." Xiaojie added, and then looked at Xiaotian as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Iceberg Boy, when I was in the underground research institute, I I once asked you, ‘Have you inherited the power of waveguide from your father’, right? I remember your answer at that time was…”

"I can't use it." Xiaotian repeated his answer at that time.

"That's right, I didn't ask because I was pressed for time at that time, what does 'cannot be used' mean?"

The golden-haired boy didn't mince words at all, and went straight to the point and asked his question - they had become such familiar friends, and it would be too strange to keep the conversation secretive.

And Xiaotian's answer was as straightforward as Xiaojie expected.

"I did inherit the power of my father's waveguide, and I had the experience of using this power when I was young." Xiaotian said, "However, I had some accidents when I was five years old, and was subsequently required not to use it again within five years. Use the power of the waveguide.”

"Eh?" Xiaoling, who was walking in front, turned back in surprise, "Accident...are you injured?"

"You could say the same."

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing the three people's eyes suddenly gathered over him, Xiaotian immediately added, "It's just that I can't use my abilities. It doesn't affect my life."

Xiaotian didn't actually care about this problem before.There are many ways to become stronger, and he firmly believes that even without the so-called waveguide power inherited from the Shenyu family, he and his Pokémon can make progress step by step.

——Until he stepped into the underground research institute.

Amidst the endless waves of lava and the crazy laughter of the madman doctor, this talented young man felt such a heavy sense of powerlessness for the first time.At that moment, he realized that because of his invitation, his friends would probably be buried together under the underground magma.

When thinking of this, Xiaotian almost ignored the ban regardless of the consequences and at any cost, and released his long-dormant power.Although everyone later used various means to overcome the difficulties, the unwillingness, regret and determination at that time will never be forgotten by Xiaotian.

He realizes his weakness and desperately hopes to become stronger faster.

Even just a little bit, it must be faster, faster - to prevent the nightmare from becoming reality.

"Five years." Xiaojie said thoughtfully, "In other words - the time to unblock is coming soon?"

"There's still half a year." Xiaotian replied.

"Eh-" Xiaojie suddenly laughed maliciously.He stretched out his arm and hooked Xiaotian's neck, "Well, Iceberg boy, after your waveguide power is restored, in order to help you get familiar with your power, let's have a competition? The kind of real people going into battle."

Xiao Tian:"……"

A waveguide user who is half-familiar with his own power competes with a superpower who is proficient in controlling his power, and the result can be imagined.

Xiaoling couldn't help but reveal her half-moon eyes.

"Brother... you are so inferior."

After collecting enough ingredients, everyone returned to the selected picnic spot and started to set up the stove to cook.

All four of them have experience traveling alone and naturally have the most basic cooking skills.When friends gather together to cook for the first time, an essential part is naturally tasting each other's cooking skills - although a similar process has already been carried out between Xiao Ye and Xiao Ling, as early as when they traveled to the Dark Forest.

And the ending this time is exactly the same as in the Dark Forest.

After each eating it in circles, the four of them came to a unanimous conclusion.

--ordinary.

"Why isn't there a cooking genius among us..." Xiaoling muttered quietly.

During the meal, Xiaojie and Xiaoling also asked the same question as Xiaotian before - what did Xiaoye do that night when her whereabouts were unknown.

After briefly explaining their actions, the golden retriever siblings did not directly endorse it to her like Xiaotian did.

Instead, he frankly expressed his dissatisfaction with his eyes flashing blue.

"There are obviously plenty of opportunities to inform us, why do you have to chase her so far alone!" Xiaoling seemed to want to use her telekinesis to put a sandwich on Xiaoye's head.

"Uh, so...it's because I can do it alone. I'm very good at sneak attacks and grabbing things."

"What if I get injured? There are two people on the other side, right? And one of them is the dangerous person who shot Ishihara!"

"Even if I am injured, I am sure to return to Honglian City with the Phoenix Feather."

Unfortunately, Xiaoye's firm and confident answer made her partner even more angry.

He was so angry that the fruits on the plate flew away - physically.

"...???"

Mengxin Xiaoye, who was oppressed by the superpowers, suddenly trembled.

Fortunately, the annoying topic ended quickly.After lunch, everyone packed up their luggage and continued climbing Honglian Volcano.

This time everyone learned their lesson and no longer just chatted without paying attention to the Pokémon.Charizard and other Pokémon were no longer full of enthusiasm as they rushed forward, looking back at their trainers from time to time - as if they were worried that they would get lost.

The young trainers lost their temper.

Or even more tempered.

April is the time of late spring, but Honglian Island, located at the southernmost tip of Kanto, is already experiencing a hot summer climate.The sun is strongest in the afternoon, but the lush trees on Honglian Volcano block most of the sunlight.The breeze passing through the forest brings a bit of coolness, bringing the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves to the ears of the young traveler - and then intertwined with the laughter and laughter, playing a brisk melody together.

They were not deliberately going fast.Perhaps their Pokémon have become accustomed to cooperating, or perhaps they have grown to a level that their fledgling selves could not have imagined four months ago - no wild Pokémon has ever caused them any trouble.Slowly and without waves, he continued to advance, and finally reached the top of Honglian volcano.

At this time, the sky was filled with stars.

"Then, before dinner -" the golden-haired boy waved his arms vigorously, "Let's fight!"

"Sure enough, the usual doubles battle is indispensable." His sister also issued a challenge loudly.

Xiaoye and Xiaotian had already consciously stood opposite the golden retriever brother and sister - if the brother and sister had not proposed a fight at this time, Xiaoye would have been shocked.

"Charizard, have a good fight." The purple-haired girl smiled at her first partner.

Everyone remembers that their first doubles match was in front of the Stone of Oath, although the match was interrupted by a sudden accident.The second time was on the battle field at the Pokémon Center after the Sunlight Forest incident.

Then, they gathered on Red Lotus Island, and the days of training team combat would end with a doubles battle every day.These four people have played against each other many times, but the novelty of competing and surpassing each other has never faded because they have such outstanding opponents.

"Desert dragonfly, dance! The power of the earth!"

In the dust all over the sky, the green dragonfly let out an elegant chant, and golden light shrouded it, turning into sharp arrows that attacked the opponent.

"King Nabo, Tide Spin!"

Clear water waves rise from the ground, embracing the power of the earth and pushing forward.

The attacks of the two of them were very direct and did not hide too much tactical intentions - what could be more exciting than the collision of moves in the opening scene?

Of course, Xiaoye and Xiaotian chose to respond positively to their partners' outspoken enthusiasm.

"Fire-breathing dragon, throwing flames."

"Fire, dragon's wave."

The green-blue dragon-shaped light and shadow roared into the sky, transforming into a blazing dragon surrounded by flames.Wrapped in dazzling brilliant light, the forces of both sides met and collided in the air.

"Boom—"

A violent explosion resounded over the Honglian volcano.The smoke was filled, but the eyes of the boys and girls were bright, as if they could penetrate the smoke, penetrate the body, and look directly into each other's souls.

The battle will still continue——

"Noisy!!"

All Pokémon's movements froze as if a pause button had been pressed.

The four trainers turned their heads in shock.Not far away, the short old man was standing in front of the ancient door - the dense trees blocked the view, so the four of them had not noticed that there was such an exquisite wooden building here - staring at them fiercely.

"If you want to fight, get out and fight again. Don't make any noise in front of my hotel!"

The door was slammed shut, leaving the four of them looking stunned and embarrassed.

"...That's right. This is not a wilderness. Honglian Volcano is a famous scenic spot. It is natural for there to be a hotel on the top of the mountain."

"It's so dark, I didn't realize it before..."

"How to do?"

The four young people looked at each other, and then burst into low laughter.

"Pfft... there's nothing we can do. Let's fight again tomorrow!"

"Yes, there is still a long time to come. There are many opportunities to fight -"

The boys and girls stopped fighting and walked together laughing again.

From now on, they will spend a long time together and experience countless battles.Yes, their time together is still very long - just like the bright starry sky above their heads, endless and vast.

Although the road ahead may not be smooth, you may encounter unexpected difficulties and obstacles at any time——

"Now, I found a very serious problem..."

"what?"

"We forgot to bring the fruits we picked at noon."

"..."

"..."

“Ehehehehe——!?
