Dawn of Pokémon

Riolu, this somewhat lonely Pokémon finally chose to follow Saye. Perhaps this is the best ending that can be achieved in the story called "The Land Beyond".

Before leaving for Star Lake, Xiaoye took the elf ball and asked Riolu "if you would like to enter the ball" - I thought Riolu would avoid this thing that looked like an evil sealing spell. And far away, just when he was about to explain, Riolu had already turned on the Poke Ball's switch with his hand with a heroic expression.

Of course, reality is not as scary as Riolu imagined.

When a Pokémon enters a Poké Ball, it is actually in a very special state.It can feel that it is in a space that is not small, and the temperature and humidity of the air are its favorite - this is one of the important functions of the Poke Ball - you can still clearly see the outside world through the translucent shell scene.

After feeling it carefully, Riolu nodded solemnly, acknowledging this strange but comfortable environment.

So, Riolu, who finally became Saya's "member of the tribe", stayed peacefully in the Poké Ball, staring at the luminous lake that gradually appeared among the dense branches and leaves.

When the sun was about to sink into the horizon, Xiao Ye arrived at Star Lake.

Before she even got close, Xiaoye saw two golden retrievers that were very dazzling in the sunset jumping around the lake.Seeing Xiao Ye from a distance, the two of them immediately waved their hands in unison.

"Xiaoye, this way, this way!"

After half a month, Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a familiar face again.

Before arriving here, Xiaoye even imagined many bad endings that were not in line with her own thinking habits.It was really because he had experienced so many dangers in the other land that he had no time to blow the whistle for help, and it even made people doubt whether he was under an illusion.Fortunately, both Xiaojie and Xiaoling were standing in front of them safe and sound, and Xiaotian, who had not yet arrived, had just met a few days ago, so there was probably no need to worry.

"Master, I just felt like I was back in the human world." Pichu said seriously, making Xiao Ye couldn't help but smile.

"Well, that's true."

Ever since we parted ways by the Star Lake half a month ago and entered an unfamiliar forest alone, Xiao Ye seemed to have stepped into a completely different world.

It started out as a forest of giant trees. Under the guidance of a melody that only he was supposed to know, he encountered a giant Bulbasaur flower that could speak human words under the sacred tree.

Then came Shenling Mountain, where countless fossil pterosaurs were chasing her like crazy as if they had a blood feud with her. With the help of the evolved Big Bird to turn the tide, they were about to escape, but the purple sky thunder suddenly fell, causing Shenling Mountain - or Said, the huge giant rock monster that was [-] meters tall showed its true form, whined and fell down.

Finally, there are the polar ice sheets.On the bank of the ice crystal lake, she met a beast-like "man" who could control thunder and lightning. Amidst the furious thunder, Xiaoye was choked by the throat with almost no ability to fight back, and she didn't even have time to blow a whistle for help.It was a blessing that the mysterious man did not completely complete the massacre, and then it was discovered that the invasion of the Three Valleys by the Crystal Lantern Spirit was also closely related to this man.

The "scenery" along the way was so bizarre that it was difficult for Xiaoye to tell whether she was still in the original world.It was only now, when I returned to the familiar lake and reunited with familiar people, that my wandering senses settled down again.

——So, the girl smiled at her friend who waved to her and ran over quickly.

The golden retriever brother and sister seemed to be in high spirits and couldn't wait to share their experiences on the trip with each other.The three of them chatted for a long time, until the daylight from the west was barely visible, and the last member of the four-person team arrived belatedly.

"Hey, little God~" Before Xiaotian could get closer, Xiaojie started taunting happily, "You're actually late. It's really rare. Could it be that you're lost?"

The silver-haired boy glanced at Xiaojie coolly and ignored his provocation as usual.Xiaoling lamented, "The paper map is really difficult to understand. It's very difficult not to get lost at all."

"Yeah, so don't be shy if you get lost, little sister Xiaotian." Xiaojie nodded and patted Xiaotian on the shoulder.

Night:"……"

Xiaoling: “…………”

This time even Pichu said: "..."

In the silence, Xiaotian looked much calmer this time and said calmly: "The big character is Explosive Flame."

Yan: "Hooooooh!"

Xiaojie: "Ah ah help!"

boom--

Facing the second freshly baked Xiaojie brand coke, Xiaoye and Xiaoling expressed their refusal to offer sympathy.

After gathering at the shore of Xingchen Lake, the four of them naturally chose to finish their meal here before heading off - it was already dark anyway, so it didn't matter if it got darker.

The deadline for the expedition is before 27:24 late at night on the [-]th, so there is still room for a meal.

During the meal, the four of them happily exchanged their thoughts on this adventure - after all, "ordinary" meals could not attract attention at all.For trainers, the first step in "exchanging feelings" is of course——

Show off your newly captured Pokémon.

"So...three, two, one!"

Xiaoling's countdown fell, and the bang of the Poké Ball opening sounded at the empty lakeside at the same time.

After the eight white lights flashed, the four of them showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"Hey, it seems we still have a good understanding." Xiaojie sighed.

During this particular adventure, the number of Pokémon captured by the four of them was somehow the same, two.After Saya's Yukidouji and Riolu - although the latter almost failed to become Saya's partner - emerged from the Poké Ball, they both stood quietly beside Saya, looking at the humans in front of them.

On the other side, Xiaotian's new team members are Cao Miaogui and Kung Fu Weasel, Xiaojie conquered Thunder Beast and Fearless Boy, and Xiaoling's chosen partners are Zoroa and Momogu.

As always, the style has no specialization attributes, but it is very consistent with their respective development directions. It can be seen that everyone is selectively conquering the Pokémon that best suits their team.

——Although one of them didn't think carefully at all, he just happened to catch a Pokémon whose painting style seemed to be suitable.

After hooking up with each other's new partners, and not surprisingly getting a few scratches from the wary real wild Pokémon, the Pokémon display session ended.After all, Xiaojie couldn't restrain his curiosity and poked Xiaotian, who looked indifferent.

"So Xiaotian, why are you back so late? You don't look like a guy who has no sense of time."

"I accidentally discovered something on the way back, which delayed my time." Xiaotian explained simply.

"What did you find?" Xiaoling asked curiously.

Xiaotian opened his backpack and took out something.

The eyes of the other three people were immediately attracted by the object in Xiaotian's hand.Xiaoye hesitantly took out the Heart of Leaf given by Celebi from her pocket, and compared the appearance of the two, "This... seems to be somewhat similar to our Heart of Leaf?"

"No, there is some resemblance. They are exactly the same except for the color." Xiaoling corrected immediately.

The crystal clear stone in the young man's palm is no bigger than a table tennis ball.The arc on its edge is very complete, like a bright full moon, with countless pure white light spots swimming in it.

"If I remember correctly... Grandpa told me that among the seven attributes of soul gems, the white stone is called "Heart of the Moon". "Xiaojie turned his questioning eyes to Xiaotian, and immediately received a nod from the silver-haired boy.

Everyone came closer, wanting to take a closer look at this stone that was too similar to Ye Zhixin.But the boys and girls had just gathered together, and the white round stones suddenly shone.

"Hey, what's going on?" The four of them looked at each other.

When light shines from within the stone, it looks more like the moon in the sky.Compared with the moon that exudes stable brilliance above the head, its light appears to be flickering, with a hint of anxiety.

When the pure white light came into view, Xiaoye was suddenly stunned.

She stretched out her hand toward the glowing boulder.

The moment the fingertips touched the surface of the stone, the white light suddenly became dazzling, forcing everyone to close their eyes.When the four surprised eyes turned to it again, all the lights were contentedly restrained, and the boulder returned to its original deposition.

"What...is going on?" Xiaoling looked confused, "Our Ye Zhixin shouldn't have suddenly lit up like this, right?"

"Absolutely not." Xiaojie immediately replied decisively.

Xiaotian looked at the Heart of the Moon in his hand, and after pondering for a long time, he stretched out his hand towards Xiaoye.

"...?"

"Take this, take it."

"No, no, no, how can that work?" Xiaoye immediately waved her hands, "You found this, of course it should belong to you."

"It was sensitive to you just now, wasn't it?" Xiaotian said calmly, "And it's not worth much."

...No, how much is it worth?

Hearing that Xiaotian actually modified the rare soul gem in the world in this way, the other three people suddenly felt in a trance.

——Xiaotian’s statement is correct.Although the Mind Stone is rare, very few people know the existence of such a thing. Except for the special Leaf Heart, other Mind Stones are also very difficult to use. Even if they are obtained, most of them can only be used as accessories.therefore……

Maybe it really can't be sold at a high price.

"...Pfft." Xiaoye was really shocked by Xiaotian's down-to-earth speech, and finally couldn't help laughing and took the white round stone.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

The stone symbolizing the moon was gently picked up by the girl.Time passed and the stars moved, but the moving white light spots were still shining, penetrating the color of the bright moon and spreading it on the girl's fingertips.

——Then, a connection spanning thousands of years was established with the "heart" of the human being who holds it.

The heart of the moon means "save".
