Dawn of Pokémon

In the warm sunlight slanting down from the west, four young free trainers set off and entered a jungle that had never been invaded by human civilization.

——Although their journey today will not be too long.

"Ah, the sun seems to be setting soon." Xiaojie looked at the sky, "We actually spent the entire afternoon on the helicopter."

"I probably won't be able to walk very far today." Xiaoling looked at the map in her hand and muttered to find her location.

"How about we stop here today?" The silver-haired boy who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke and pointed to a certain location on the paper map.

"Where?" The other three people moved forward one after another.

Looking in the direction of Xiaotian's finger - it was the "lake" icon not far from the supply station on the shore.

"Star Lake?"

Xiaojie nodded, "The distance is about the same, I think it's okay."

"I agree too. But...well, how to tell the distance from the paper map..." Xiaoling asked weakly from the side.

"Pfft, Xiaoling, your terrain lesson was in vain."

The golden retriever brother and sister began to discuss the issue of maps and scales, while Xiaotian turned his questioning eyes to Xiaoye.

"Of course I have no objection." Xiaoye said immediately.

Star Lake [Japanese: 星の湖, Hoshi_no_Mizuumi, English: Star_Lake] is located not far to the north of the shore supply station, surrounded by dense forests.It is said that this lake has a beautiful scenery that is rare in the world, and the Pokémon around it are not very aggressive, making it a good place to rest.

——In that map book, which was not exquisitely bound, almost all the information about every explored area in the land beyond was recorded.For those who are new to the experience, it is the only source of information and must be read carefully.

The facts proved that the information in the atlas was not wrong.Perhaps because they were close to the supply station on the shore, the four young people of the new team "Dawn" did not encounter many obstacles from wild Pokémon along the way, and the initial adventure went smoothly.

When night enveloped the sky, the four of them arrived at the lakeside called "Stars".

——Then, they saw a vast sea of ​​stars.

Stars dot the night sky and the lake; in other words, the lake itself is the second starry sky - countless flickering light spots reside at the bottom of the lake, shining with colorful brilliance; while the lake is as transparent as the most beautiful The clearest crystal, as if there was no lake at all, the fish Pokémon danced freely in the air, becoming elves in the starry sky.

"The water quality of Xingchen Lake is very clear. There are many shining small stones sleeping at the bottom of the lake, which look like twinkling stars at night - it is said that these stones can echo the emotions of living beings and show different colors."

Xiaojie read softly the introduction to Xingchen Lake in the atlas, and cast his eyes on the colorful light spots in the lake.

"In other words, these stones at the bottom of the lake are..."

"Grey Crystal." Xiaotian replied calmly.

Gray crystal is a natural mineral with a texture similar to crystal.The ancients once called it the "soul crystal" and said it had the power to see into people's hearts - in fact, gray crystal does always appear translucent gray and only becomes gleaming when in contact with life.

What really brought gray crystal into the public eye was that in the year 950 of the Elf Calendar, gray crystal was proven to be a new material very suitable for making computer chips.

The discovery of new materials naturally brings about the rapid improvement of technological level, the evolution of computer calculation models, and more in-depth exploration and research of this material.At present, the Pokémon League has not mastered the method of artificially synthesizing gray crystals, and relies entirely on mining gray crystal veins to maintain production and life.The area of ​​Beyond the Land is only one-third of the Kanto region, but it contains a large amount of gray crystal veins that are much larger than those in Kanto - this is also the greatest benefit that the discovery of Beyond the Land has brought to the Alliance.

In the land beyond, such strange stones are not uncommon.

"Wow, it's like the stars have come to the ground."

"It's a pity that the mobile phone can't be used, otherwise I really want to take some photos as a souvenir."

After sighing a few times, the golden retriever brothers and sisters immediately started the long-awaited part - dinner.

Everyone had brought enough food at the supply station, and there were many fruit trees by the Star Lake. The food was very abundant - at least it was much better than the embarrassing picnic on the Red Lotus Volcano.

"I'm going to look for fruit trees nearby. Maybe I can encounter rare varieties." Xiaojie stood up and looked back at his three friends.

Xiaoye and Xiaoling have already placed the tableware and are preparing to set up the stove.Xiaotian was washing fresh vegetables from the supply station by the lake.The silver hair is scattered like the bright moon; the twinkling starlight is reflected in the young man's pupils, and the cold ice blue is dyed so brightly that it is as dazzling as if it contains the brilliance of the whole world.

Xiaojie blinked and suddenly laughed evilly.

"I'm going to look for tree fruits now. Do you want to go with me, little sister Xiaotian——"

Xiaoye: ...(stiff)

Xiaoling:…………(dumb)

Xiaojie immediately saw that the soft light in those ice-blue eyes turned into angry fire, and even the words the boy uttered were no longer calm.

"Yan, the big character is Explosive Flame."

"Eh?...Wait a minute, Iceberg boy, don't get excited...Ahhhhh!"

BOOOOOOOOOOM——

After a wave of explosions, Xiaoling sighed and reached out to poke the freshly baked Xiaojie brand coke.

"It's your own fault." This is how my sister defined her brother's behavior.

Xiaoye: ...I was so lucky that I wasn't burned by the fire. (trembling)

Under the cover of night, the four of them enjoyed their first dinner in the land beyond.The cooking skills are all at the mortal level and there is no need for a second judgment - after dinner, the indispensable part is the battle.

"Just in time to make up for the unfinished scene at Red Lotus Volcano" - said the resurrected Cokeboy.

This time, there won't be an angry innkeeper interrupting their fight.Sparks flew out, energy was wanton, and amid the continuous explosions, they began the same passionate battle as always.

When did this habitual doubles battle begin?

Staring at the back of Charizard fighting, Xiaoye laughed softly.

In the strong wind, the green boulders swayed, shining together with the stars in the lake.Heart of the Leaf, this special gift from Celebi was hung on their chests by the four of them - just like the proof of the team "Dawn" itself.

The exciting emotions resonated in the instructions, and Ye Zhi's heart gradually became brighter.When the four boulders light up at the same time, the lake named after the stars shines brightly.

At the bottom of the lake, all the colorful stones radiate the most dazzling light.The glows of different colors merge into one, fly high into the night sky, and turn into a dazzling galaxy rising from the ground.

"This is a natural phenomenon that occurs once a week in Star Lake on average. The gray crystals release their accumulated light energy together, forming a pillar of light that runs through the sky and the earth - called Star Falls." Xiaojie dutifully acted as the voice commentator, facing Endless Starlight showed an energetic smile, "We are really lucky."

The waterfall of stars brought up the mist of light that filled the sky and fell on the shoulders of the young girls.The curious Pokémon touched the stars in the air with their hands and accidentally stumbled into the lake, frightening away a group of goldfish - while their trainer was laughing and playing happily, everyone's eyes were on them. The vast starry sky is reflected in his eyes.

This is the first meeting gift given to them by the other side.

at the same time--

It was also the signal announcing their arrival.

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

Deep in the dense forest, under the tallest giant tree, a thousand-year-old creature opened its eyes.

The endless starlight is reflected in its eyes that have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, and its gaze is the gentleness that washes away all the flashy and noisy.

"Finally... see you."

"My friend."

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

By the Lake of Stars, the boys and girls spent their first night in the other side.Early on the morning of the [-]th, the four of them selected different routes and began preparations for departure.

This is the advice Xinghai gave them.Compared with a group of four people, the effect of single-person experience will be better - and because of the existence of the emergency whistle, they don't have to worry too much about their own life safety.

"Then, let's meet here again on the afternoon of April 27, half a month later."

The blond boy smiled and made a pact with his friends.

"Don't be late!"

In the morning light, the four people said goodbye to each other and started their own adventures in four different directions.

The choice of the route was decided by the four people last night. They drew four lines completely randomly and chose by drawing lots without thinking too much about anything - in this land full of unknowns, every step taken is related to new things. When we meet, why should we be too cautious?

Xiaoye's route was almost due north, slightly eastward.Starting from Star Lake, we pass through forests and mountain areas, and finally reach the cold ice fields in the north.

The one-way trip takes about 10 days - so in order to meet the time limit, you must ride a flying Pokémon on the return trip.

We walked in the quiet jungle for more than an hour.When the forest of giant trees rising from the ground appeared in front of her eyes, Xiaoye knew that the first stop of her experience had arrived.
