Dawn of Pokémon

The night of April [-]th.

The sky was exceptionally clear that night.The sky is dimmed with clear and deep blue, and stars are dotted in the endless night sky, bringing twinkling light to the world on the ground.

The climate of Honglian Island is very warm, and even on the top of the mountain you can't feel the slightest chill.Of course, there is no need to set up a tent when sleeping outdoors, a sleeping bag is enough.

Under the starry night sky, four people lay side by side on the soft grass.Their Pokémon were also lying in a ball not far away, and the sounds of playing and playing could be heard from time to time.

"I'm so full..." Xiaoling stretched her hands and feet with satisfaction.

The four of them were silent for a while, quietly looking up at the starry sky above their heads.The flickering light spots reflected in their pupils were like the brilliance of the distant shore of time and space, or like pearls within reach.

"Everyone, listen to me."

The blond boy stretched out his hand toward the sky - in his hand was a crystal green stone the size of a table tennis ball.

The magnificent translucent stones reflect the light of the stars, and the green highlights swim among them with tails of light, as if they are carrying countless tiny creatures.

"Do you know what this gift Celebi gave us?" Xiaojie said softly.

"Its name is--"

"Heart of Leaf."

"..."

The words that were deliberately turned into a eloquent tone were interrupted.Xiaojie suddenly lost his composure and stood up to glare at the interjector.

"This is Ye Zhixin, what's wrong?" Xiaotian looked at Xiaojie, looking a little confused.

"...bastard Iceberg boy, do you dare to let me finish this sentence handsomely?"

"Oh, I thought you didn't know." Xiaotian said calmly, with a clear expression on his face, "Who asked you to play such a long note?"

Xiaojie: "..."

Xiaoling: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"

After clearing his throat, Xiaojie simply sat down opposite Xiaoye, the only person with a confused look on his face. "Xiaoye. Yes, the name of this stone is Ye Zhixin - do you know what it is like?"

"I don't know. What kind of existence is it?" Xiaoye answered actively and cooperatively - especially compared to Xiaotian.

Xiaojie was immediately relieved by the support from his friends and continued talking briskly.

"People are not human at the beginning, only when they have a heart - there is an old saying." Xiaojie said, "And in nature, there are some objects that can sense the power deep in the human heart. No, it is not so much induction. , it may be more appropriate to describe it as "mapping".They can absorb people's spiritual energy and use it as their own source of luminous energy. "

As he spoke, the blond boy spread his hands and showed off the green boulders in his hands.

"It is one of them. The stone that can reflect the soul is called "Mind Gem". There are seven attributes in total. The Mind Gem of each attribute has an incredible ability. "

Vibrant green light spots circulated inside the boulder, as if echoing Xiaojie's words.

"——The Leaf Heart we got represents "bond" and its ability is "connection". Seeing Xiaoye's expression of confusion, Xiaojie grinned, "That may be a bit difficult to understand. Why don't we try it ourselves?" "

So, the four people gathered around and sat facing each other.

Soul Gem——This is a name Xiaoye has never heard of before.Most of the items with incredible power that I usually come into contact with are used by Pokémon. There are really very few natural items that can be used by humans.

Not only Xiaoye, but the other three people didn't know the existence of such strange props at first.It wasn't until they received such a thank-you gift from Celebi and consulted their elders in the family that they learned the final result.

As for why he didn’t inform Xiaoye right away——

They didn't have Xiaoye's phone number at all, so they couldn't notify her even if they wanted to.

And Xiaoye doesn't have a mobile phone at all - although she hasn't told everyone the truth.

Too rude.

"I also heard my father say it." Xiaotian looked at the magnificent round stone in his hand, "The heart of leaves is the only soul gem that can only appear in plural forms. When people who hold the heart of leaves with the same origin have similar thoughts, When the time comes, it will connect the holder's mind - the effect is similar to telepathy."

"Brother and I tried it ourselves, but it didn't work at all. It seems that all the people holding the Heart of the Leaf must be present for it to work." Xiaoling fiddled with the pendant on her chest - the Heart of the Leaf is a very beautiful stone. , is very suitable as an inlay on the pendant, making the girl's face shine even more.

The Ye Zhixin of the other three people were carried directly in their pockets like debris, which can be said to be very straight men.

Although there is actually a biological female among them.

Soul connection...how does it feel?Xiaoye felt a little weird, and her fingers were playing with the round stones unconsciously.

"Then, let's recite silently together - let our hearts be connected." Xiaojie said seriously - although his serious expression only lasted for a few seconds, "Oh, such a line is too shameful..."

"Hahahaha, why don't you say - right now, we are becoming one." Xiaoling looked serious.

"...That one is even more shameful!"

Night:"……"

Do you have to read something? ?

Reluctantly stopping their nonsensical joking, the four young trainers fell silent.

Xiaoye closed her eyes and placed her right hand holding Ye Zhixin on her heart.

Of course she didn't actually say something about how our hearts connected—or what it was like to be one now.

She knew that the person sitting next to her now was her closest friend in this life.They have fought side by side, supported each other, and trusted each other - it is natural to want to become closer and understand them better.

Xiaoye is not a person who is used to expressing these emotions, and she has never taken the initiative to seek any friendship.However, the gem that reflects the soul will truly reflect her truest inner thoughts.

Whether it is words that can be spoken or words that cannot be spoken, direct feelings, gentle and gentle thoughts, everything is read by the blue round stone.

Then the stone in their palm began to glow.

The four people who had closed their eyes could not see the changes in Ye Zhixin, but their hearing was still there.Dimly, they felt familiar yet unfamiliar.

The heartbeat is amplified.The heartbeats of not one, but four people.

A light green light swirled around the bodies of the four people.It was as if there was a transparent connecting wire connecting their perceptions - all the noisy sounds faded away, leaving only four synchronized and clear heartbeats echoing in each other's minds.

They had experienced this feeling before - when they took over the Heart of Leaf from Celebi.

But this time, Guanghua didn't stop there.

A green light curtain spreads out from four identical round stones.Like a layer of gauze, or like forest-colored waves, it moves gently but resolutely, enveloping the figures of the boys and girls.

Immediately, green light rushed into the sky and turned into the brightest star in the night.

Xiaoye opened her eyes and looked at the stars all around her.

She found that she was unable to make a sound, but her vision remained intact.She looked around and saw her three companions who were also a little surprised.

As if wandering in the universe, everywhere you look is the color of the stars at night.There were only four of them in the silent world.

Everyone can feel it - they are four different individuals, but they seem to be the same person.

At a glance, the color of everyone's soul can be seen.Xiaoye could "see" Xiaotian's slight surprise, Xiaojie's calm joy and Xiaoling's excitement.

When their eyes met, something tied them together.Just like every leaf is connected by branches - "connection" is one of the mysteries of life.

For leaves, this power is called "connection."

For humans, it's called "bond."

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

In the distant urban area of ​​Honglian City, Xinghai, who was sitting in front of the ward window, suddenly raised his head as if he was aware of it.

He looked through the window at the Red Lotus Volcano in the east.

He felt a rhythm.Different from the tranquility of the waveguide power, the forest-colored ripples are full of warmth and longing, even mixed with the very familiar atmosphere of Xinghai.

The silver-haired young man was stunned for a while, then looked down at his chest.

——A water-colored round stone is hanging on an inconspicuous necklace.As the necklace swayed slightly, the blue light strands swayed gently in the round stone like waves in the vast ocean.

This fluctuation of heart power...is it Ye Zhixin? "

After being surprised, Xinghai laughed silently.

So this is ah.

It seems that you have made friends that you will treasure for life, Xiaotian.

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

April [-]th, early morning.

"Wake up! The time is coming soon——"

"...What are you doing, Xiaoling? It's still so early..."

"What are you doing? Isn't watching the sunrise a regular program after climbing to the top of the mountain?"

Before dawn, everyone was forcibly pulled up by Xiaoling, and even the Pokémon were not spared.

Seeing that everyone was swaying from sleep, Xiaoling's face was filled with "you guys who don't live up to expectations" - I really don't know why she is still so energetic at four in the morning.

After reluctantly finishing the washing, Xiaojie sat lazily next to the sleeping bag, "However, it is a rare sight that the top of Honglian volcano is so clean."

Honglian Volcano has always been a popular attraction. The hot spring hotels and the scenery of the volcano attract countless tourists.Nowadays, due to the impact of the disaster, very few tourists have come to Honglian Island recently - even the hotels have been closed, leaving Xiao Ye and the four of them to sleep in the open.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing - the top of the Honglian volcano has now become their exclusive territory.

The Pokémon didn't wake up as fast as their trainers, and almost half of the little guys were still half asleep and half awake.Charizard, who was used to sleeping until eight o'clock, was so sleepy that he took a few steps in a daze and suddenly felt empty under his feet.

I looked down - it was a bottomless cliff.

Now the fire-breathing dragon was so frightened that it climbed up with all its strength, dancing and dancing, sending stones and sand flying all over the sky.Unfortunately, its reaction was a little late, and it rolled down the cliff without having time to grasp the rock with its claws.

Night:"……"

Well, Charizard...you can obviously fly...

Fortunately, the fire dragon didn't stay stupid all the way, and flew up in a mess before falling unconscious at the bottom of the cliff.Charizard, who was almost alive, fell to the ground, covered with mud, and almost turned into an earth dragon.

Yan on the side couldn't stand it any longer, so he covered his eyes and flapped his wings, blowing out a gust of hot wind, which turned the earth dragon back into the form of a fire dragon.

Xiaojie: Hahahahaha!

Xiaoling: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Xiaoye: ...Okay, I might have a fake Charizard.

The funny episode made everyone and the Pokémon laugh so hard that they all broke out of their sleepiness - although the funniest dragon had tears in his eyes.

After calming down the stupid Charizard, Xiaoling pulled everyone - followed by 24 Pokémon, which was quite spectacular - to the spot she had chosen last night to watch the sunrise.

It was already getting light at this time.After all the fuss, everyone was no longer sleepy and sat on the rocks chatting with each other.

Of course, you also need to suppress the overly cheerful Pokémon behind you from time to time to prevent any of them from rolling down again.

Xiaojie's bright sky-blue eyes looked at the distant skyline and said with a smile: "The sunrise, I haven't seen it for a long time, I'm looking forward to it."

"Right? I used to watch the sunrise on Baiyin Mountain a lot." Xiaoling answered cheerfully, "Xiaoye Xiaotian, have you ever watched the sunrise on the mountain?"

"I've seen it once before." Xiaotian said, although with this expressionless look, it always made people think that he was saying "I saw it, it was boring."

"Not once did I."

Xiao Ye thought about her experiences in her two lives, and came to the conclusion that not only did she not have it in this life, but she also didn't have it in her previous life.Although we have climbed a lot of mountains, the sunrise is always missed by Xiaoye, and we don't even think about the need to see it. It can be said that we don't know how to appreciate the beauty of nature at all.

During the conversation, the sky became brighter and brighter.The bright stars gradually disappeared, and the orange-red color of morning glow gradually emerged in the sky against the light floating clouds.

As the sky lit up, the chatter gradually dropped.Everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the sea and the sky met.

The first thing that was dyed by the halo was the sky, and then the sea.

The gray color faded away, and a flame-like brilliance shone among the clouds and sprinkled on the sea.Instead of the stars in the sky, there are sparkling waves shining like stars.

The world is no longer silent.Xiaoye heard the clear chirping of insects starting from the trees not far away; birds were flapping their wings and flying over their heads, immersing themselves in the gorgeous red of the east.

Life is awakening - because of the call of light.

On the boundary between sea and sky, dazzling golden color begins to emerge.That arc seemed like a creature that was about to break out of its shell. It was extremely urgent, yet gently and steadily poked its head out.

When the sun sets its sights on the world, the world changes.

All darkness is dispelled, all fog is purified.There are no words in the world that can even describe the greatness of this moment. Perhaps it can be described as:

The world has moved from darkness to light.

The blond boy bathed in the light of the morning sun and took a deep breath.

He looked back.Dawn projected colors into his pupils, and the corners of his eyes were filled with flying smiles.

The young man opened his mouth, "..."

"Everyone, I have something to say to you." Xiaotian's voice came from the side.

Xiaojie:......

Um?what happened?Was I robbed again?

While Xiaojie looked confused, Xiaoye and Xiaoling had already turned their attention to Xiaotian.

The silver-haired boy no longer stared at the rising sun, but turned around and seriously took the appearance of the three people in front of him into his field of vision.

"In the Elven Calendar 977, the concept of a team was first proposed. At the end of the same year, the world's first team "Cross Star" was born. "Xiaotian said calmly, "Since then, the word team has not only been synonymous with the strong ones that all trainers are chasing, but also a symbol of close friends and family. "

The bright light shines on Xiaotian's back, giving his moonlight silver hair a golden edge.

"Of course I am no exception. Fortunately, I have met an irreplaceable friend who I want to stick with."

Those clear ice blue eyes were full of solemnity and determination.The young man faced the light and stretched out his hand.

"Xiaoye, Xiaojie, Xiaoling."

"Are you willing to form a team with me and become my comrades?"

The silence was much shorter than Xiaotian expected.In other words, it was less than two seconds.

"Iceberg boy..." Xiaojie sighed, "You took away what I wanted to say again."

"Haha." Xiaoling laughed unkindly and rolled her eyes, "Actually, that's what I was about to say."

Xiaotian opened his eyes slightly, and the golden retriever brother and sister smiled knowingly together.

"If you do a good calculation, we have fought as a team three times. Although we have encountered dangerous things, but ah-" Xiaojie laughed, "I really like fighting with you, and I will also do so in the future. Keep going like this. Even if you didn’t invite me, I would have invited you.”

"Moreover, we also have the heart of the leaf, which symbolizes "bond."Doesn’t this mean that we should always be connected by bonds? "The girl put her hands behind her back, and her playful ponytails swayed together with her smiling words.

When the golden retriever brother and sister finished their speeches and Xiaotian's eyes turned towards her, Xiaoye actually felt a little confused.

Xiaoye knew what the team was like, and she was really fascinated by it.But she never thought—not even a minute ago—that she would receive such an invitation.

Even Xiaoye, who was too used to being alone, could clearly feel that she was so valued by her companions.

Nothing makes people feel warmer than this.

only……

The target that had been set as the highest priority when he first arrived seemed to be highlighted in red and bold, and appeared vaguely in front of Xiaoye's eyes.

Is this really possible?

The voice in my heart calmly asked myself.

When everyone is looking forward to the future that belongs to "us" and working hard for it, people from other worlds who never intend to take root in this world can really have such an irresponsible attitude and nod to their friends. ?

Conflicting thoughts circled in her heart. Before the answer could be reached, Xiaoye was suddenly stunned.

She saw the silver-haired boy looking directly at her for a moment, his expression seemed serious and calm, but his fingers subconsciously curled up slightly, showing a bit of anxiety.

The originally rational and hard thoughts suddenly softened.

That's it.

What she wants to do cannot be achieved overnight.If the first step after half a year fails, it may take even longer to take the second and third steps.

——At least, in this time that may be long or short, please allow me to hand over all my power to you.

As if typing a brand new command with the same red and bold color under the original highest goal, the alien made a decision silently.The light purple eyes met the ice blue, and then curved softly.

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

The next moment, Xiaoye opened her eyes in surprise.

She seemed to see the young man standing against the light raise the corners of his mouth and smile to herself.

Is it because the light is too dazzling that you see it wrong?

Xiaoye quickly raised her hands and rubbed her eyes.When he looked again, the young man had returned to his normal appearance and bowed deeply to the three of them.

"thank you all."

"Okay, okay, don't be so rigid all the time." Xiaojie couldn't stand Xiaotian's overly formal lines the most, so he pushed Xiaotian to straighten up, "Although the team needs ten people to do it. Officially registered, but it doesn’t matter. From today on, we are the closest partners!”

"So let's solve the most important problem." Xiaoling suddenly put on a serious look.

"what is the problem?"

"Of course - the name of our team."

As soon as these words came out, the air was silent for a few seconds.

"...To tell you the truth, I'm the worst at this." Xiaojie scratched his head in disbelief.

"I was just waiting for you to say that!" Xiaoling waved to everyone, took out her mobile phone, and motioned for everyone to come over, "I checked this specifically a few days ago."

"Team naming... strategy?" Xiaoye read out the title of the page on her phone with a confused look on her face.

"That's right, let's follow the instructions in the guide to choose a satisfactory name together. This is a super important thing!" Xiaoling said with full fighting spirit - what she said was right, the officially registered team has not changed its name. opportunity, "First of all, do you have any ideas now?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

A dead silence.

"Okay, let's move on to the first one." Xiaoling continued reading without any surprise. After all, she herself couldn't come up with any satisfactory names at all - they were all very good, "1. You can try to use the team The time of formation is used as the naming element. For example, season, month, etc.”

"Is it April...summer now?" Xiaojie thought for a moment, "Ah, suddenly it occurred to me that there is indeed a quite famous team called Winter Day?"

It sounds pretty cool, but if you think about it carefully...it seems to be very watery...

Seeing that everyone was at a loss of ideas, Xiaoling continued to read out the next item, "2. You can use memorable items as naming elements. Speaking of memorable items..."

"Ye Zhixin?" Xiaoye said hesitantly.

"Just use Ye Zhixin as the team name?...Isn't it a bit like the title of a romance novel or something..." Xiaojie's face was full of unbearable look, "Change it a little...Ye Zhiling? Ye Zhihun" ?”

"Next item." Xiaoling expressionlessly ignored her brother's opinion.

Just looking at Xiaotian's look of "wanting to complain but still keeping an expressionless face", you can tell how good Xiaojie's naming ability is that makes you want to cry.

"3. Just use everyone's names as the team name!"

Night:"……"

Xiao Tian:"……"

Xiaojie: "..."

Xiaoling: "...let's forget it."

"Xiaoling, your strategy is too unreliable." Xiaojie couldn't help laughing, and poked Xiaotian with his elbow, "Hey, Bingshan Boy, since it was you who suggested forming a team, would you like to think of one too?"

"Yeah." The silver-haired boy looked thoughtful.He looked at the three companions in front of him - the color of the morning sun reflected on their faces, making the eyes of boys and girls shine.

Looking back at the sun that brought light to the world, Xiaotian thought of something.

"dawn."

What Xiaotian said was just a simple word, but the other three were stunned.

Without exception, they were reminded of the scene of that day - the sun's rays were swallowed up by blackness.The three-god bird that took countless lives flew in the cloudy sky, and countless people on the earth fell into despair.

At that time, everyone was waiting for the three divine birds to recede, and for the dark clouds to disperse——

Looking forward to the return of light.

And dawn is the dividing line between light and darkness.At this moment, light replaced darkness, and the earth began to recover.

In the end, the name was unanimously approved by everyone.

Perhaps they have witnessed too much sadness and pain in this battle. They hope that disaster will not happen again and want to bring warmth to others - perhaps this is the wish entrusted in the word "dawn".

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

April [-]th, Elven Calendar Year [-].

They made the most important vows in their lives in the rising sun.In the name of "Dawn", they vowed to advance together and retreat together, fight side by side, and never abandon each other forever.

Under the protection of Ye Zhixin, they began to move forward.Even if darkness devours light in the future and dark night replaces morning light, "dawn" will still serve as the last light to dispel the night - "bond" will still bring the brilliance of countless stars into one.

——Until the leaves decide to turn their backs on the branches, and the stars decide to turn their backs on the sun.

Today, the shadow of the abyss has not yet surged.

The journey of "dawn" has just begun.
