Dawn of Pokémon

The afterglow of dusk dissipated, and endless stars emerged in the night.

There is a small cedar forest by the Bingjing River, which is a relatively safe camping spot that Xiaoye has already chosen.Although the appearance of Snow Boy delayed Xiaoye and his party a lot of time, fortunately, the cedar forest was not far from the place where Snow Boy was found, and the trees covered with snow were faintly visible at the end of the field of vision.

Since Yukidouzi was injured, Xiaoye tentatively asked if she should carry it and carry it on the way.I thought that Yukidouzi would definitely not trust her, a stranger whom she met for the first time - but unexpectedly, this little guy showed no wariness towards Xiaoye, or even towards all the Pokémon around Xiaoye, and obediently jumped into Xiaoye's arms. .

This caused Xiaoye to wonder for a while whether she was still in the other side.

I remember that it was indeed written in the atlas that the Pokémon living in the polar ice sheets were very wary of outsiders due to their stable and harmonious living environment.However, the reason why this snow boy can be so relaxed and close to me is probably because it is still a young boy.

The ice-type Snow Boy's body temperature is much lower than that of humans, making it cold and soft to the touch.Xiao Ye did not restrain Yuki Doji with any force, and the little guy in her arms did not move at all or struggle at all.Its little hands tightly grasped Xiao Ye's sleeves, and from time to time it raised its head to look at Xiao Ye, blinking its ice-colored eyes.

The electric mouse on the shoulder finally couldn't help but stretched out its claws and poked Yukidouzi's face - of course, he only received a confused tilted head and a look back at him.At this time, little Pichu, who had been frightened many times by the Pokémon in the other land, finally felt relieved and happily chatted with Yukidouzi.

Riolu, who was walking beside Xiaoye, cast his gaze at Yukidouzi from time to time, with a little bit of unobvious surprise on his expression.

Arriving at the cedar forest safely, after dinner, Xiaoye and his party built a simple snow house as a resting place - tents or sleeping bags alone cannot withstand the cold of the snowfield, neither for Xiaoye nor for treasures that are not cold-tolerant such as big birds and forest lizards. Kamu and the igloo are necessary.

Of course, in order to prevent the igloo from melting, the fire-breathing dragon with a flame on its tail was mercilessly driven out of the igloo and could only sleep pitifully at the door.

——This guy is not afraid of the cold at all anyway.

That night, Snow Boy fell asleep next to Xiaoye.

Xiaoye knew very well what Yukidouzi expected from her.In its sleep, it subconsciously rolled its body into a ball, like a child who was afraid of something.For this little guy who is still too young, Xiaoye, who came to save him when he was in great pain, may be the last person he can rely on.

The unknown creature that controls lightning has caused the large-scale appearance of crystal lantern fire spirits, and that "creature" may be related to the suspected human figure seen in Shenling Mountain.Since it may be related to humans, this matter is not just a natural competition between Pokémon groups, and Saya, who is also a human, does not need to deliberately avoid it.

When this simple-minded snow boy fell asleep next to her without any suspicion, Xiaoye decided——

She will not disappoint Snow Boy's expectations.

April 23, early morning.

When the howling wind and snow stop, the polar ice fields are a quiet place.However, the early morning belonging to Xiaoye and his party was not quiet at all.

"No, no, it's gone! Qiu is really missing! Ahhh, where did Qiu go?!"

Pichu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling around the igloo.

"Charizard, did you really not see it? You were obviously at the door Qiu??"

"Ah..." The red fire dragon shook his head, looking a little annoyed.

"Calm down, Pichu." Xiaoye stopped Pichu from running around, picked up the electric mouse, and looked around the igloo carefully again.

The snowstorm last night had covered up the footprints, but there was really no trace of a fight around.In other words, Snow Boy could not have been abducted by someone - not to mention, Snow Boy was sleeping next to Xiao Ye. Even if the sound of the strong wind was masking it, Xiao Ye could not have failed to notice the fight.

Therefore, it was only possible that Yukidouzi left on his own.

In such a situation - its hometown is occupied by other ethnic groups, and its body is still injured, where will it go alone?

Xiaoye only thought for half a minute before making a decision.

She left the three Pokémon, Pidgeot, Forest Lizard, and Ghoststone, in the igloo, and told them to stay where they were, and to let the Snow Boy stay if he came back.He took the remaining three Pokémon and set off to look for traces of Snow Boy.

The heavy snow that did not stop until early morning covered the Snow Boy's footprints, and his scent was not found within the detection range of the waveguide power.There are no clues that clearly indicate Yukidouji's whereabouts.Therefore, Xiaoye had no choice but to patrol around the cedar forest quickly in a circle.Charizard is in the sky, Gyarados is in the river, and Pichu is lying on Xiaoye's shoulder as always, trying not to miss any useful information.

It's a pity that Charizard hasn't learned to fly with people yet, otherwise the search would be much faster.

The power of the waveguide expands outward to the extreme range, capturing every move of every living thing.

There are not many Pokémon in the polar ice fields, and even fewer Pokémon appear within the detection range.However, when the familiar yet unfamiliar aura emerged, Xiaoye's first reaction was to immediately withdraw the Charizard hovering in the sky, make a "diving standby" gesture to the Gyarados, and dodge behind the pine tree nearby.

"Hey, eh? What's wrong, Qiu?" Little Piqiu also covered his mouth tightly and asked quietly - he was obviously using telepathy to communicate, so why did he cover his mouth?

The strange aura quickly disappeared from the detection range, but Xiaoye's eyes still stayed in that direction and she lowered her voice.

"It's the man from Shenling Mountain."

Compared with the blurry figures seen in Shenling Mountain before, this sighting was much clearer, and the information returned by the waveguide detection was also clearer.

It was indeed a human breath, and the twisted and depressing feeling it carried was the same as that of Shenling Mountain.After just a moment of detection, Xiaoye was sure that she should not get close to this dangerous creature.

However, if this figure is the person who released the purple thunder in Shenling Mountain - he is undoubtedly the culprit who ran down the mountain and brought countless crystal lanterns and fire spirits.Yukidouji's disappearance might have something to do with him.

Therefore, Xiaoye followed quietly.

In order to prevent being noticed, she did not let Charizard fly into the sky again, but let it stay quietly in the Poké Ball for the time being.Gyarados traveled underwater, following Saya's footsteps by the river.

If Xiaoye's waveguide detection is only released in one direction, the short-term limit distance can reach 600 meters, so that he can stay far enough away from the mysterious man without losing him.

The mysterious man moves very fast.Without making too much noise, even Xiaoye would have to do her best to keep up with him.and--

His speed continued to increase.

While trying to ensure that she would not be dumped, Xiaoye glanced at the atlas.

Sure enough, this direction is towards the ice crystal lake at the foot of the polar snow mountains.The Snow Boy's habitat is at the foot of the mountain, not far from the Ice Crystal Lake.

When this conclusion was reached, the mysterious man was completely out of Xiaoye's detection range - if he wanted to catch up with him, he would have to use moves such as thunder and lightning, but the explosion of thunder and lightning was too loud and was not suitable for quietly attacking him. track.

However, even without the guidance of the mysterious person, Xiaoye was sure that she needed to go to the ice crystal lake to find out.

At noon, after climbing over a low snow hill, Xiaoye arrived at her destination.

The wind and snow during the day were not as violent as at night, and the chill caused by the low temperature was dissipated by the heat generated by running for a long time.

Xiaoye saw a lake called Ice Crystal Lake - this was supposed to be the end of her journey.

The lake is directly connected to the Ice Crystal River, which stores melted ice and snow water from the mountains.The crystal clear lake is very quiet, with occasional slight ripples rippling in the cold wind.

"There's nothing there..." Pichu muttered quietly.

Xiaoye's waveguide power swept across the lakeside along with her sight.The aura of the mysterious man was no longer captured, nor was there any trace of Snow Boy, nor did he see his tribe or the crystal lantern spirits that Snow Boy had mentioned.

Maybe we should take a closer look around the area?

As soon as this thought arose, he was overwhelmed by the sudden feeling of trembling that followed.

Xiaoye turned around quickly while the little Pichu exploded.

She saw a scene she didn't want to see——

On the top of the snow hill she just passed, stood a figure wrapped in bursting purple lightning.

It was the violent thunder from hell.They were dense, violent, and almost blindingly bright.Despite this, it can still be seen through the beating lightning that their operators have a unique human figure.

The next second, Pichu suddenly felt the world spinning.It was shocked to find that it was thrown out by Xiao Ye, spinning in the air and then plunged into the snow.

"Boom—"

For Xiao Ye, who had witnessed the sudden change in Shenling Mountain, the sound of thunder was too familiar.She tried her best to use the lightning flash at the highest speed, narrowly avoiding the bombardment range of the purple sky thunder.

It was a thunder that could bring down a huge giant rock monster that was [-] meters high.Even if it is only scratched a little, it is not something the human body can bear.

When the lightning failed, the figure rushed over.

The bright purple enveloped its bullet-like figure, and the crackle and explosion of lightning in the air turned into unimaginable propulsion. Even the speed that Xiao Ye was proud of became worthless - the full-strength thunder flash. But it was just a successful dodge for one round.

The thick palm wrapped around Tianlei and clasped Xiaoye's neck fiercely.Then, the water splashed, and the two figures submerged into the cold lake water.

"Master...?"

When Pichu climbed out of the snow with difficulty, there was no one around the ice crystal lake.
