Dawn of Pokémon

Daylight moves upward.

Sparse light spots shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and fall on the lush grass leaves under the canopy.

In the gigantic forest world, even the light spots are enlarged.Walking in the chest-high grass, Xiaoye raised her head and looked at the branches and leaves in the distance.

The trunk is as thick as a product of another world, and the youngest leaves are as big as a palm.Everything within sight gives the tiny humans a heavy sense of oppression, as if they have strayed into the kingdom of giants, making people panic.

After expanding the waveguide detection range outwards, Xiaoye noticed another very strange-even creepy fact.

There are many grass-type Pokémon living in the giant forest. Their exclusivity is a major challenge for those who experience the giant forest. It is for this reason that Xiaoye released Charizard and Woodshou Palace in advance.However, the scene revealed during the detection was completely different.

A large group of Pokémon were surrounding Xiaoye a hundred meters away.They don't approach Xiao Ye, they just move with Xiao Ye's steps, like wild beasts following the blood.

To the left, to the right, to the back - except for the direction that Xiao Ye was heading, everything else was closely surrounded by wild Pokémon.Surprisingly, Xiaoye, who was extremely sensitive to malice, did not feel any hostility from them.

——It was as if he was deliberately guiding or forcing Xiaoye to walk in a certain direction.

Xiao Ye cast her gaze thoughtfully into the depths of the forest, and an idea suddenly jumped out of her mind.

[Is it...does anyone want me to go there? 】

The faint sound of the grass flute is always ringing intermittently.The distance was too far for Xiaoye to hear exactly what the grass flute was playing, but the hazy feeling reminded Xiaoye of the piece she was most familiar with.

"Ahhhhhh."

Charizard carefully tugged on Xiaoye's cuffs - it would be difficult for it to do this as it evolved to become taller - and blinked, showing a very expectant look.

Xiaoye tilted her head.

"what do you mean……"

"Ah!"

Seeing Charizard nodding happily, Xiaoye couldn't help laughing and touched the big guy's head.

Really, even though he has evolved to his final form, his personality is still the same.

"Well, I see."

Xiaoye called the Pokémon to rest for a while, and she took out an item from her backpack that Charizard was very familiar with.

——The light green bamboo flute that has accompanied Xiaoye for more than a year.

Leaning against the trunk of the big tree, Xiaoye picked up the bamboo flute and started playing it for a long time.When the familiar melody and the always gentle tone hovered in the air, Charizard closed his eyes in enjoyment.

When they were still in Zhenxin Town, playing the bamboo flute after their morning run was almost the repertoire of Xiaoye and Charmander.During the trip, Xiaoye rarely played the flute, and Charizard almost forgot about it.

——Thanks to the unknown sound of the grass flute, Charizard can experience the nostalgic melody again.

It's a warm, soft and bright song.The bright melody seems to have the power to purify all darkness, allowing people to see the fading of filth, the birth of a new world, and the reproduction of new life.

As the sound of the bamboo flute echoed in the forest, the sound of the grass flute in the distance also became louder.

Compared with the bamboo flute, the sound of the grass flute is shriller and clearer.Two similar but different timbres were superimposed together, jumping between the notes that contrasted with each other, and played a heart-warming harmony across thousands of mountains and rivers.

After the song ended, the sound of the bamboo flute slowly fell.

Charizard was still immersed in the aftertaste of the flute, and Mu Shou Gong was also shaking his head seriously.Xiaoye held the bamboo flute tightly in her hands, her palms soaked with cold sweat.

What she was playing just now was the only piece of music she had mastered—taught to her by her most respected master in her previous life.

This is not the melody that this world should have.However, Xiaoye clearly heard the sound of the grass flute ensemble coming from afar - no one who didn't understand the melody could play such a seamless harmony.

What the hell is going on?

Under the warm sun, the girl felt a chill all over her body.

The quiet and strange journey continues.Until the sun went down, Xiaoye did not encounter any wild Pokémon - this was obviously inconsistent with the "exclusion of grass-type Pokémon" recorded in the atlas.However, the Pokémon that were following her in the distance and surrounding her still hadn't disappeared.

Amid doubts and confusion, Xiaoye spent an uneasy night.

Early morning on April [-]th.

In the quiet forest of giant trees, there was only the sound of leaves rustling in the wind - and the sound of gentle footsteps that came to my ears from time to time.

In the early morning of the second day after entering the giant tree forest, Xiaoye still failed to encounter any opponent who launched an attack.The Pokémon surrounding them are getting closer and closer, so close that even without using waveguide detection, they can occasionally be seen.

If surrounded by such a large number of Pokémon, even Saya would have a hard time escaping without any injuries.However, Xiaoye really didn't feel any hostility from them. Instead of taking drastic measures to anger them, it was better to move forward according to the original route——

Get out of this weird forest as soon as possible.

Even though Xiaoye thought so, as the Pokémon got closer, the direction guidance became more and more obvious.However, after a few hours of marching, Xiaoye had begun to gradually deviate from the original route, but forcing her way out of the encirclement was definitely a bad idea - what's more, Xiaoye was not sure that these Pokémon must be enemies.

On the way forward, there was even a beautiful flower that jumped up to Xiaoye's feet, spinning in circles unsuspectingly.

When Xiaoye tentatively stretched out her hand to the beautiful flower, the little flower elf tilted her head and accepted Xiaoye's touch without any hesitation - this was really not something a normal wild Pokémon would do.Until Meihua's attention shifted to Mu Shou Gong and started dancing around it, Xiao Ye still couldn't think of a reasonable answer.

——On the contrary, Mu Shou Gong seemed to be dazzled.

At noon, Xiaoye once again tried to play the only piece of music she had mastered.The expected sound of the grass flute ensemble became closer, and the melody became clearer and brighter. It was as if even the branches and leaves of the trees were swaying with the rhythm, intoxicated by the sound of the flute.

After the second performance, the Pokémon who had been hiding behind the dense branches and leaves even openly surrounded him.Bulbasaur, Cottonmouth, Acorn, Sakura, Coconut Monkey, Mount Lamb—grass-type Pokémon of different races all gathered together, as if they were the audience at a concert.

Their expressions are calm and happy, without any anger in their brows.

"What's going on, Qiu, it's like we are old acquaintances. I'm so embarrassed, Qiu." Taking the delicious fruit that he had never seen before from the beautiful flower, the electric mouse scratched his head.

Putting away the bamboo flute, Xiaoye checked the map book in her hand again.

That's right.If we continue in this direction... ahead of us is the tallest tree in the entire giant forest, a giant tree that is said to be nearly 200 meters high.

After thinking for a moment, Xiaoye looked at the little guy who was dancing happily, "Beautiful flower."

Beautiful Flower heard the sound and turned around, showing a crescent-moon-eyed smile to Xiao Ye.

"Excuse me...does anyone want to see me?"

The girl asked this seemingly ridiculous question, but in fact she had been thinking about it for a long time.

The flower elf thought seriously for a moment, then smiled and nodded to this human being who had just entered the forest.

After the lunch break, Xiao Ye stopped after less than an hour of moving forward.

She has expanded the range of waveguide detection to its limits.Although the accuracy has decreased, the general situation within about 500 meters ahead is fed back to Xiaoye's mind.

So, she saw——

At the end of the waveguide detection, a huge life form appeared.

Due to the distance, Xiaoye could not clearly detect its appearance.However, both the size and the intensity of the aura are far different from ordinary Pokémon - if Xiaoye's own aura is dim starlight, the life in the distance is the blazing sun.

Xiaoye vaguely felt that from the moment she entered the forest of giant trees, that huge and terrifying creature began to stare at her.But the gaze that rested on her was too soft, light and not malicious, and too pervasive. Xiao Ye didn't even notice it until she was so close.

Seeing Xiaoye stop, the little beautiful flower gave a confused cry and pulled Xiaoye's trousers, as if urging her to move forward.

Or rather, it won’t help if we don’t move forward——

Many Pokémon no longer hide their figures, surrounding Xiao Ye and the three companions beside her.Moving forward is the only way.

The girl raised her head and looked at the mottled blue sky exposed among the leaves.

Under the canopy of giant trees, it is actually difficult to see the distant scenery.But even so, Xiao Ye still captured the unique lines of tree trunks in the sparse sky.

That towering tree is right in front of you.

After a moment of silence, Xiaoye stepped forward again.

Now that things have come to this, let's just follow their wishes and go meet the "one" who is watching her.

The purple-haired girl moved forward step by step.Charizard and Mu Shou Gong had already put away their leisurely demeanor and followed the girl closely.

The distance got closer and closer, and the huge mountain-like outline gradually became clear in the detection range.

Then, it began to appear in the field of vision.

Walking quietly beside the trainer, Mu Shou Gong raised his head and stared intently at the huge wood creature in front of him.

It is over ten meters tall.It has thick green limbs and white toes.On its back, green leaves stretch out, and huge flowers bloom toward the sky. The petals are smeared with bright red, like the only light in the deep green.

Its eyes are the same color as the petals, bright red.Those eyes carried too much emotion and time, and had watched too many disasters and battles - but in the end, they still revealed only the softest brilliance.

The red eyes stared at the visitor, and the lavender eyes looked back.The eyes that span thousands of years meet in the sky, integrating each other's emotions into it.

Walking closer, Xiaoye stopped.

She showed her usual calm and gentle smile.

"Hello." The girl bowed lightly, "Excuse me, do you want to see me?"
