Dawn of Pokémon

"Then, let's say goodbye - although we will meet again soon." Xiao Ye said with a smile as she walked out of the valley.

"Yeah." Xiaotian nodded and jumped onto the back of the red fire dragon.

There are only four days left before the agreed gathering time, so we must hurry up for the next trip.The schedule arranged by Xiaotian wouldn't have been so tight if he hadn't encountered a series of accidents yesterday.

It should be said that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Seeing Yan flapping his wings and slowly rising into the sky, Xiao Ye quickly added, "I will return your clothes to you at the next gathering."

Xiao Tian:"……"

You said this three times last night.Is it necessary to care so much?

Sighing helplessly, Xiaotian waved goodbye to Xiaoye.Yan let out a low roar and gradually flew away on the scorching wind.

Watching Yan disappear into the horizon with Xiaotian, Xiaoye was suddenly stunned.

"Ah, this down jacket should be hand washable...?"

"...Master, it's too late to ask Qiu."

"makes sense."

The electric mouse slithered into Xiaoye's collar, and its half-moon eyes immediately turned into crescent-moon eyes, "But the down jacket is really warm, Qiu. I don't want to go out anymore, Qiu..."

On the side, Riolu, who was sitting carefree in the snow, glanced at Pichu, with the word "Zha" written all over his face.

It's obviously not cold at all.What a weak guy.

"...Hey, what's that look in your eyes, Qiu!"

Seeing that the little Pichu's hair was about to explode, Xiaoye quickly reached out and smoothed the hair, "Okay, let's leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to return to the meeting place on time."

Pichu curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and simply retracted the entire mouse into the collar of his down jacket, as if out of sight and out of mind.The furry and warm little guy is wrapped in it, which looks a bit like an extra-small snood.

However, feeling that Xiaoye stopped after taking a few steps, Mao Tuanzi reluctantly poked his head out again, "What's wrong Qiu... Huh?"

When Pichu's ears caught the sound of running on the snow, Xiaoye's waveguide power also fed back familiar information.

In the distant valley, a figure wearing a yellow hat appears and disappears in the snow, enlarging little by little.

"...Snow Boy?"

The little ice Pokémon responded with a cheerful cry and jumped around Saya a few times.

"Why are you chasing me again?" Xiaoye knelt down and touched Xue Tongzi's head, "Is there anything else you need help with?"

Snow Boy shook his head repeatedly, his ice-colored eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Xiaoye couldn't understand Yukidouji's language, but with Pichu who had mastered telepathy, communication with Pokémon had never been a problem.

Through Pichu's mouth, Xiaoye understood what Yukidouzi meant——

【I like you and want to be with you. 】

The girl was suddenly in a daze.

Similar things have not happened before.When he was in the Dark Forest, Guisi also took the initiative to choose to travel with Xiaoye - however, Guisi was always used to walking alone, and he had no relatives or friends in the Dark Forest, let alone a group.Yukidouji is different. He was born in San Valley and has a group of friends who grew up with him. He should not leave the place where he was born easily.

"Together...do you mean you want to continue walking with me?" Xiaoye asked softly.

Snow Boy smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Snow boy." Xiaoye straightened her expression.Of course she won't dislike this Pokémon who is close to her and trusts her, and she is very willing to become a partner with it.However, for Yukidouzi who lives in the land beyond, she comes from a land that is too unfamiliar, and she may continue to travel to even more distant places in the future.Such a journey may be completely unaccustomed to it.

Therefore, everything must be explained now.

"I may not have said it before - I come from a place far, far away." Xiaoye smiled and pointed to the southwest horizon, where she first landed. "I will continue to travel everywhere in the future. Being able to come here It was just an unexpected opportunity, maybe from now on, I will never come back here again."

The girl stared into the Pokémon's eyes.

"If you were to travel with me, you might not be able to return to your hometown. So, reconsider?"

Yukidouzi did hear every word that Xiaoye said.It looked back at the valley behind it——

Snowy, quiet and peaceful.It was born there.

It doesn't spend much time reminiscing about the past, though.

Turning around, Yukidouzi pulled Xiaoye's trousers and showed a big smile to Xiaoye.

Xiaoye's inference was correct.Snow Boy was indeed born and raised in this quiet ice and snow valley, and he has deep feelings for his friends in the tribe.

Their lives are always peaceful and unchanging.Foraging for food, playing and playing, and continuing to forage after a night's rest - the time of this group is as calm and unruffled as the surface of the ice crystal lake.

When the crystal lantern spirits invaded the valley without warning and Snow Boy fled his hometown scarred, it was Xiaoye who brought new and warm colors to his life.

The time he followed Xiaoye was only two days, and in just these two days, Snow Boy had already seen so many scenery that he had never seen before.Xiaoye used incredible props to save it from danger, making it feel at ease even in the vast snowy field far away from its hometown.She was calm and composed, as if nothing could make her helpless. Therefore, when she proposed to help Yuki Tongzi regain his hometown, Yuki Tongzi actually had such expectations.

Although the crystal lantern spirits were so terrifying that the little Snow Boy could tremble all over, but if it was this person... maybe he could do it?

When the battle was truly inevitable, Yukidouzi saw that the man with the warm smile who said "I will protect you" seemed to be glowing.

Instructions fell in an orderly manner, and her partner responded to her words, using an indestructible attack to break the defenses of the crystal lantern fire spirits.And she possesses a speed that no one can match. When the electric light lights up, the purple flame cannot even touch the corners of her clothes.

The Snow Boy being held in his arms seemed to be in the safest glass house.It can clearly see the war in the outside world, and all threats are easily blocked without harming it at all; and it is Xiaoye himself who built this "glass house".

When he thought of this, Snow Boy's heart was filled with admiration and yearning.

Just like a moth chasing a flame or a bird gazing at the mountains—this is a natural emotion that any living thing has.

Yukiko is a Pokémon with a very simple mind.It never thinks too much about anything, and all its actions follow its true wishes.

Because he was grateful for Xiao Ye's life-saving grace, he risked being discovered by the crystal lantern spirit and went out to find berries as a gift to express his gratitude.

Because it believed in Xiaoye, it endured fear and brought Xiaoye to its hometown, hoping that Xiaoye could drive away all the terrifying crystal lantern spirits.

Because it didn't want to be separated from Xiaoye, it said goodbye to its friends and chased after them.

Xiaoye didn't know that the ice Pokémon group living in the polar ice fields actually had the habit of traveling far away.When the young Pokémon in the group reach adulthood, they will move away from their hometown to hone their survival skills - which is why there are only three adult Blizzards in the Snowcat group.For the underage little guys, it is not too difficult to accept being far away from their hometown, because they know from a very young age that when they grow up, they will inevitably leave here and live bravely alone.

And this is what Xue Tongzi chose, his own "long journey".

Those light blue eyes reflected the smiling face of the purple-haired girl.

"Really? Then..."

The girl stretched out her hand to it.

"Will you be our partner?"

Snow Boy nodded without hesitation and threw himself into Xiaoye's arms.

【certainly! 】

Riolu stood quietly beside him, watching the whole conversation between Xiaoye and Yukidouzi.

Snow Boy's words surprised it.

"I like you and want to be with you" - Like, how does it feel?

For Riolu, who was born in a crisis-ridden giant forest and has survived to this day with his own fists, this word is too unfamiliar.If Yukidou left his hometown because he wanted to follow a strong man, Riolu would completely understand - in fact, it was precisely because he wanted to defeat the forest lizard and avenge his shame that he followed him from the edge of the giant forest to here.

But that's not the case.There were more things in Snow Boy's eyes that it couldn't understand.

It shook its head in confusion, but when it saw Xiaoye reaching out to Yukidouzi and accepting him as a "member of the tribe", there was indeed a complex emotion stirring in its chest.

As if aware of the abnormality in Riolu's expression, Xiaoye turned her questioning eyes to it, "What's wrong?"

Riolu said nothing, just shook his head.

Picking up the crescent-eyed Yukidouzi, Xiaoye stood up and smiled at Riolu.

"Then, shall we set off? - By the way, the previously stored tree fruits were almost used up yesterday, and we need to pick some more at noon. Riolu, can I ask you for help this time too?"

There are not many plants on the snowfield, and it is not easy to find edible tree fruits.However, the canine Pokémon Riolu has a keen sense of smell far beyond that of humans, and can easily smell the aroma of tree fruits.It was also it that helped find a large number of tree fruits when they first entered the polar ice sheets.

Riolu blinked.The strange emotions trapped in the chest were suddenly cleared away. It showed a slightly proud smile, imitated the common movements of the fire-breathing dragon, and patted its chest.

【Leave it to me! 】
