Dawn of Pokémon

??

In the cold wind, the eyes of the boy and the girl met in the air, dispelling the chill of the snowy field.

——Although the girl's mood at this time was completely inappropriate.

Xiaoye felt that this might be the most embarrassing scene ever when meeting a friend.

Being in the cold polar ice field, Xiaotian has naturally put on winter clothes.The buttons of the pure white down jacket were fastened meticulously, and the scarf restrained the silver hair dancing in the wind.The red fire dragon beside him was majestic, and his landing movements were light and steady.

Looking back at myself——

No, Xiaoye no longer wants to "look back".

The Gyarados, which had suffered a powerful electric shock, had just surfaced and was lying on the shore panting.Before Pichu could shake off the ice particles on his body, Charizard, who had just unleashed his strongest attack, looked a little tired.

As for the trainer himself, he was even more embarrassed.The torn coat had been soaked with ice water and clung to his body wetly, like a refugee who had fallen into the water.

All kinds of complicated emotions whizzed by, and Xiao Ye was stuck for a few seconds, and finally uttered a sentence that was beyond words.

"...Xiaotian, you have also deviated from the route."

The young man did not respond to this inappropriate remark.In fact, before Yan had landed, Xiaotian had already shown a look of astonishment - it was very rare for such a look to appear on Xiaotian's face.

He jumped off Yan's back.

"What happened?" Xiaotian frowned tightly, and as he approached, he motioned to Yan to use hot air to keep warm.

He noticed the crystal blue sword in the girl's hand, and her expression became a little more serious.

"Is there an accident...? Well, thank you, Yan." Xiaoye dispersed the power of the waveguide that turned into a knife shape, and the detection extended to the limit range without slackening at all.

Xiaoye never thought that she would suddenly meet a familiar friend in a place like this.A moment ago, she was immersed in a life-threatening battle, but the unexpected turn gave Xiaoye a sudden sense of contrast.

"I just encountered a somewhat difficult enemy. Now I think he has left - otherwise I would not be interested in going for a winter swim in the lake." Xiaoye explained in a brisk tone, "So... uh, wait, wait. one time!"

She quickly took a few steps back, "No, no, no, it will make your clothes wet."

"Is now the time to say such a thing?" The boy retorted categorically and put the down jacket he was wearing before forcefully on Xiaoye.

Being soaked in the ice and snow can be life-threatening. Xiaotian is very aware of this fact, and does not think that Xiaoye knows nothing about it.Before landing, he clearly saw Xiaoye and her Pokémon standing back to back on guard, not caring about their soaked clothes.

What kind of "troublesome enemy" did you encounter?

At this moment, Xiaotian was very glad that he had not missed the flames that rose into the sky a few minutes ago, and was also very glad that he had deviated from the original route due to an accident.He was almost certain that if they hadn't met by chance, Xiaoye would never have revealed even a little bit of this matter due to her unexpectedly stubborn behavior at times.

Just thinking about this possibility is depressing.

The two quickly found a cave by the lake and took a short rest. The first task was of course to dry their clothes. Fortunately, there were two fire dragons, so they only had to stand in the hot wind for a few minutes.

"Sorry for causing you trouble." Xiaoye gave Xiaotian an apologetic smile.The soft down jacket hugged the body tightly, carrying a little boy's body temperature, effectively dispelling the chill. "I will wash the clothes and return them to you."

This was indeed an awkward meeting.Appearing in front of Xiaotian like a drowned rat, and even damaging Xiaotian's down jacket, it was almost a shameful execution for Xiaoye, who adhered to the principle of not causing trouble to others.

——Of course, although she felt very sorry, Xiaoye was still very happy to see Xiaotian here, and she was also full of gratitude for Xiaotian's help.

After all, Xiaotian is Xiaoye's closest friend since she came to this world.

"It doesn't matter. It's too foreign." And the "closest friend" was not happy at all, and even wanted to sigh.After encountering a life crisis, do you still care about a piece of clothing?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Xiaoye, what happened just now?"

"Well... let me start from the beginning."

While giving medicine to the badly electrocuted Gyarados, Xiaoye told the whole story of her encounter with the mysterious man.

She omitted the part about Shenling Mountain—the mountain itself turned out to be a huge rock monster a hundred meters high. That experience was so bizarre that Xiaoye hadn’t decided whether to tell her about it yet—from the story directly on the polar ice sheet. Talking about meeting Snow Boy.She recounted in detail all the information she knew from Yukidouzi, and the fight in the icy crystal lake was mentioned in one sentence.

——It’s better to say that it was a one-sided beating than a fight.Even if such a scene is told, it will only cause trouble to the disciples.

"That's what happened." Xiaoye put the used medicine bottle back into her backpack and patted Gyarados's horns. "I'm sure that human being can't be a member of the Alliance expedition team. He might have entered illegally. The land beyond. Let’s report this matter to Mr. Xinghai when we gather.”

Xiaotian nodded, his eyes staying on Xiaoye, "I understand. In other words, before I came, you and that person fought at the lake?"

"Well, although I have no idea why he came to attack." Xiaoye waved her hand casually, "But he left quickly, so don't worry about it."

After a few seconds of silence, the "closest friend" actually sighed this time.

"what happened?"

"Xiaoye." Xiaotian stood up, "We are teammates on the same team now."

Xiaoye was stunned for a long time by this topic that was too jumping, and then she suddenly stood at attention, "Yes. Captain, what are your orders?"

"……That was not what I meant."

Xiaotian was completely helpless and pointed at Xiaoye's neck.

"Speak out when you are in danger. There is no need to hide it from me. Since such scars are left, it means that the battle is not as simple as you said, right?"

In the battle against the artificial Phoenix King, Xiaotian had already fully seen how excellent Xiaoye's personal fighting ability was.As a combatant, her overall strength is significantly higher than that of all her Pokémon.The sword skill that can pierce the heart of Phoenix King is powerful enough, and her talent in speed is much higher than that in attack.

Xiaotian could hardly imagine how powerful a human being could easily strangle her neck, leaving fingerprints, bruises and electric shock marks on her skin.

"...Eh?" When Xiaotian had already imagined a colorful theater-level battle scene, Xiaoye on the opposite side showed an expression of lost IQ.

Scars?

In fact, the moment she fell into the ice crystal lake, the extreme cold eroded almost all of Xiaoye's senses, and even the pain caused by the electric shock became weaker.Xiaoye couldn't clearly feel where the scar was on her body, and the strong tingling sensation in her neck was ignored with ease. She didn't realize it until Xiaotian reminded her.

Of course, half of the reason is that Xiaoye's pain nerves are not sharp enough.

"Uh... I'm sorry." Xiaoye felt a little embarrassed when her perfunctory words were exposed in person. She stretched out her hand to tentatively touch her neck, "Is it that obvious? I don't feel much pain..."

"Don't touch." Xiaotian quickly grabbed Xiaoye's hand.

Now he began to wonder whether Xiaoye had taken a proper trauma treatment course.

Xiao Ye, who had been saving up her money for three days, was finally suppressed by the captain and sat back in front of the bonfire.A thick bandage with wound medicine was neatly wrapped around her neck - although this made Xiaoye feel like a half-finished zombie.

This time she couldn't tell half the truth like before, so she had to describe the disgraceful battle process in detail - and quietly mourned the loss of her "reliable combat effectiveness" image.

And it happened to be embarrassing in front of the captain...

Xiaoye felt that she really needed to be mentally prepared to be expelled from the team.In a single Pokémon battle, it would be difficult for her to defeat the other three who had received elite education since childhood.If she loses even her advantageous position in personal combat ability, her position in the team will become dispensable, right?

Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow her to talk nonsense anymore, unless Xiaoye wants to use her mental preparation for being expelled immediately.This time, Xiaoye described the entire process of this very short battle in detail.

The mysterious man with the ability to control thunder and lightning was so powerful that Xiaoye could not estimate his level of strength. All he could give was a description of physical phenomena.His behavior was even more confusing. He attacked suddenly and left without warning. Coupled with his beast-like appearance, Xiaoye was not even sure whether he still had human sanity.

Seeing Xiaotian's frowning silence, Xiaoye added, "However, he has never appeared in my detection range since he left, and he probably won't come back."

Xiaotian nodded slightly, "To be on the safe side, let's leave this area first."

"it is good."

Seeing Xiao Ye neatly put Gyarados and Charizard back into the Poké Ball, Xiao Tian asked: "What are your plans next?"

"Find Snow Boy first, and then go to his hometown, which should be not far from here." Xiaoye put on her backpack and turned back to smile at Xiaotian, "By the way, Xiaotian, do you want to go and see it together? If you are here, I will I’m more confident that I can help Snow Boy and the others.”

The purpose of their coming to the other side is to gain experience, and this line of work will almost certainly involve them fighting against the Crystal Lantern Spirit Group, which is the best opportunity to gain experience.

Besides—

Since he is his closest friend, if he still pretends to hope that Xiaotian will stay away from this matter, he will definitely be scolded for being "too outsider."

The seriousness between the silver-haired boy's brows relaxed and he nodded almost without thinking.

"it is good."
