Dawn of Pokémon

The sun sets in the west, and endless stars light up the night sky.

"I guess it's at least nine o'clock now." Xiaojie looked at the position of the stars and moon in the sky and said while touching his chin.

"Shall we leave for the return journey? The time limit is coming soon." Xiaoye said as she packed up the cooking tools in her hands.

"Don't worry." Xiaoling winked at Xiaoye, "I just came up with a good idea!"

Calling everyone together, Xiaoling lowered her voice mysteriously, "Everyone, is your whistle still there?"

"Well, I haven't used it yet." Xiaojie took out the colorful translucent whistle from his arms and shrugged quietly.

——Instead of saying "didn't use it", it's better to say "didn't have time to use it".

Seeing Xiaoye and Xiaotian also taking out their whistles, Xiaoling playfully hugged their shoulders, leaving her brother alone and ignoring his half-moon eyes, "Aren't you curious about Mr. Daye?" Did you mean 'rescuing soldiers'? I'm super curious, they will come to rescue us in three minutes after blowing the sound - it sounds like a myth."

"I'm actually a little curious...Hey, could it be that..."

"It's that 'could it be said'!"

After getting Xiaoling's resounding answer, Xiaoye suddenly felt ashamed.

After knowing each other for so long, Xiaoye can basically guess some of this friend's little thoughts.Faced with such a question that makes people want to explore, and there is an opportunity to explore, unless Xiaoling's hands are tied, she will definitely "find the truth" to the end.

As for the so-called opportunity——

"Anyway, the adventure is coming to an end soon. There's no loss in being ruled out now, right? So -" Xiaoling shook the whistle in her hand, "Let's just blow it once and give it a try!"

The three people stared at each other with the starry eyes of the girl.

"Uh, isn't it a little bad? It's like lying to call the police..." The golden-haired boy is often not as off-line as his sister at this time, and his logic can barely stay within the scope of a normal person.

"There's nothing wrong with it. If the rescuers can arrive within 3 minutes, it means they must not be far from us, or even quietly following us to protect us, right? They work so hard, so it's natural for us to thank them before leaving. Yes." As she spoke, Xiaoling showed a plate with neatly arranged sandwiches beside her, "Look, I've even prepared a thank you gift."

"...Huh?" But isn't that just an ordinary sandwich...

"For Mr. Bingbing, who has worked so hard until now, a late-night snack that can fill his stomach is the most suitable gift." Xiaoling said sternly.

"..." The three of them exchanged looks again.

"It seems...that's right?" Xiaojie scratched his head, "Xiaoye, Xiaotian, what do you think?"

"I think either way is fine." Xiaoye also scratched her head.

Xiaotian seemed to be shaking his head helplessly, with an air of "There is nothing you can do about the naughty children at home", "It doesn't hurt to try."

"Right, right! Then let's play together and see. First, we must choose a good position...well, this way and this way!"

Xiaojie: "It doesn't matter where you stand... No, wait!"

Xiaoling: "What?"

Xiaojie: "Xiaoling, you... just unleashed your ability to talk nonsense seriously on me, right?!"

Xiaoling: "......How could it be? What I said is all the truth."

Xiaojie: "Before you say something like this, please remove the three seconds of silence before your lines, bastard sister!"

After all the fuss, the noisy young people were finally ready to "call for reinforcements."

Standing next to the lake containing the starry sky, four whistles were picked up at the same time.

"Then - get ready, three, two, one!"

A clear whistle sounded on the lake.The four tones are superimposed together, rising far into the sky, and reaching the other side of the night.

Maybe it was due to the incredible whistle, or maybe it was just a coincidence - all the colorful stones at the bottom of the lake radiated the most dazzling light.The glows of different colors merge into one, fly high into the night sky, and turn into a dazzling galaxy rising from the ground.

Star Falls erupted.

The boys and girls all showed expressions of surprise and had long forgotten to continue blowing.But the clear whistle is still lingering, circling in the gushing starlight, and together with the colorful waterfalls, it has become the most eye-catching sign on the other side of the land.

In the dense mist, two figures appeared.

They have streamlined bodies and glazed feathers.The straight wings trembled slightly, making them faster than jet aircraft, leaving a brilliant tail of light in the deep blue night sky.

Two pairs of soft, watery eyes, one yellow and one red, gently reflected the figures of the boys and girls in them, and then rippled into ripples in the surging starlight.

——Infinite Pokémon, Latias, Latios.

====================

Eleven o'clock at night.

When the young man who had been standing at the edge of the supply station on the shore for a long time finally saw the four belated figures, he couldn't help but sigh.

"There's still an hour left before the deadline. You four are really pragmatists."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xinghai." Xiaoling took over the conversation without shame, "It's hard to come here once, how about having fun without racing against time."

"Well, actually it would have been earlier. There was an accident on the way..." Xiaoye tried her best to give a feeble explanation.

If "I blew a whistle to call Latias and Latios, and I lost track of time while chatting and playing with them".

After seeing the rescuer in person, the mystery of "arrive within 3 minutes" was immediately solved - the infinite Pokémon Latias and Latios are known for their extraordinary flying speed and can cross most of the distance in 3 minutes. It is entirely possible to do so.

On the contrary, the whistle that can be heard by infinite Pokémon in the distance is even more interesting.Unfortunately, after being blown once, the whistle fell into pieces, making it impossible to study it.

After sighing, the silver-haired young man raised his familiar gentle smile, "So, how do you feel about the adventure in the other side?"

"Of course it's great! Mr. Xinghai, I discovered a lot of secrets that the expedition team doesn't know about, such as——"

"Okay, don't just stand here, let's talk while you go back to your room."

The first-level investigator who was on vacation took four new trainers for a walk along the beach and headed to the dormitory area deep in the supply station on the shore.

According to Xinghai, the expedition team led by Fire King Daye has finished its work and left the other side. The current temporary leader is named "Tono Yoshihiko".Upon hearing this name, Xiaojie and Xiaoling immediately said in surprise, "It turns out to be the first-level investigator from the Johto area." Presumably, this person is no less famous than Xinghai.

Xiaoye, who was obviously a trainer but didn't even know the top celebrities in the trainer world, suddenly felt that she needed to do a deep self-reflection.

Eleven o'clock in the evening is already the time for most people to take a rest, and the new person in charge, Mr. Tono, and his team are no exception.Therefore, everyone did not bother them and returned directly to their lounge.

"We will return to Honglian City early tomorrow morning, remember to rest early" - although Xinghai said this before leaving, a dormitory full of ten-year-old newcomers could not be quiet no matter what.

After washing up, the four of them sat on the bed and continued the previous conversation.

The adventure in the other side is so interesting, why don't we exchange our thoughts - so said the golden retriever brother and sister.

"...Because it was written in the atlas that the biggest threat to the Red Rock Desert was sandstorms, so the desert dragonflies and I crossed over completely unprepared. And guess what happened? The sandstorms were actually created by a large group of desert dragonflies. Yes, we broke directly into their territory!"

"I bet bro, you were hunted for at least ten hours~"

"I'm going to blow the whistle early if I'm really being chased for that long!"

Xiao Ye, as always, did not actively speak.However, the more she listened carefully to the conversation of the other three, the more Xiao Ye felt that something was wrong.

It was an indescribable feeling of disobedience.The experiences of Xiaojie and Xiaoling were indeed bizarre and thrilling, but...

It’s so “normal”.

Yes, all these thrills and bizarreness are based on the normal cognitive system, which is completely different from Xiaoye's impression of the half-month journey.Xiaoye originally thought that the content of everyone's conversation would be more strange, because——

She herself has indeed experienced an "abnormality" that subverts her cognition.

Just when Xiaoye's thoughts were about to fly away from her body, the conversations of the other three brought her back.

"Hey, Iceberg boy, did you also see the white light?"

Xiaotian nodded, "I saw it in the ruins where I found the Heart of the Moon."

"It's so strange." Xiaoling blinked, "Why did the three of us see similar white lights... And my brother and I were both saved by the phantom of a Pokémon that we didn't know was real or fake. Xiaoye Xiaoye , have you really not seen it?”

"No, I'm sure." Xiaoye shook her head.

"Hmm..." Xiaojie pondered for a while, "Is it really a coincidence? Or is it a mechanism unique to the other side?"

The nameless ruins in the cedar forest, the red rock desert, and the psychedelic flower valley. The three locations should have no connection, but similar white lights and different mysterious powers appeared.What kind of mystery is there? The golden retriever brothers and sisters even speculated on more than a dozen possibilities, but in the end they could not really lock in a certain answer.

They have only been on this land for half a month, and they still don't know enough about it.At least for now, he couldn't solve the mystery.

"The land beyond is indeed an incredible place" - in the end, Xiaoling had no choice but to use such a sentence to end the lying talk meeting hastily.

After the chat session ended, Xiaoye did not take a rest immediately. Instead, she randomly found an excuse to open the door and walked out of the temporary dormitory.

The sea is calm at night.At the end of the line of sight, the sea and the sky are the same deep blue, blending together like a night-colored barrier covering the entire world, filling the vision of those who have not slept.

Compared to a warm dormitory, the sea breeze at night is indeed more conducive to thinking quickly.Xiao Ye stood quietly on the beach, sorting out her thoughts.

Unfortunately, it was too late and there was no way to record the recent information on a notepad.Let’s wait until we return to Honglian City tomorrow to make up for it.

Xiaoye thought a little absent-mindedly while reviewing the contents of the lying-down meeting.

"What's wrong? You still haven't rested so late."

Xinghai's voice sounded from behind Xiaoye.

Xiaoye turned around and saw the silver-haired young man walking to her side with a smile, and said half-jokingly, "There are only a few hours left to stay here. Maybe you are not willing to waste time in sleep?"

"I guess what you are reciting is Xiaoling's point of view."

"Haha, you are indeed Mr. Xinghai."

Xiaoye raised her head and smiled at Xinghai, "You are the one, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"I still have some work to do." Xinghai explained simply.

Two figures, one tall and one short, stared at the dark sea and were silent for more than ten seconds.

"Mr. Xinghai, actually I have a question to ask you."

"what?"

Under the gentle gaze cast by the young man, Xiaoye asked calmly: "What kind of place is behind the polar snow mountains?"

Xinghai was stunned for a moment, "Why do you think of asking this?"

Even though they had not been together for long, Xinghai could still see that Xiaoye was not an overly curious person, and would not ask him such a question just because "there is the largest no-entry area behind the polar snow mountains".perhaps……

"Did something happen?" Xinghai asked tentatively.

"That's right." Xiaoye nodded, "Actually, I originally planned to report it to you tomorrow... the process may be a bit long, will it waste your time too much?"

"Of course not." Xinghai shook his head, and simply took Xiaoye to sit down on a clean beach, pretending to be all ears, "What do you want to tell me?"

So, according to the manuscript that had been rolled over in her mind several times, Xiaoye recounted the information about the "mysterious man who could control thunder and lightning" in detail from beginning to end.

The land beyond is located in the depths of the most dangerous unknown place, the "Midocean Ocean". Except for the alliance's expedition team, no one should set foot there.However, dangerous and suspicious "human beings" have appeared here now, which cannot be ignored easily.Both Xiaoye and Xiaotian realized the seriousness of this matter, and in order not to ruin the relaxed atmosphere of the previous lying down meeting, they chose to remain silent about it in a tacit understanding.

After listening to Xiaoye's narration, Xinghai's expression turned serious as expected.

"Thank you. It was right for you to tell me this matter as soon as possible." Xinghai nodded to Xiaoye and put away the mobile phone used to record the information. "I will report this matter to the alliance later. You don't have to worry too much."

I don't know if it was to comfort Xiaoye, Xinghai even had the intention to make a somewhat cold joke, "Judging from the appearance of the man you described, he might be a savage who drifted here hundreds of years ago and survives to this day."

"...It does look a bit like that."

Recalling the appearance of the "gorilla" who almost killed her, Xiaoye couldn't help but smile.

"However, you really encountered a lot of amazing things. Maybe this shows that you are lucky." Xinghai leaned on the rocks behind him and sighed with a smile.

"Yes." Xiaoye nodded and said calmly, "I didn't even expect to encounter these things. First I went under a giant tree that was a hundred meters high..."

Xinghai smiled and nodded.

"I met Bulbasaur, a ten-meter-tall man who spoke human language..."

Xinghai's smile froze.

"Then I accidentally discovered that Shenling Mountain was not a mountain, but a huge rock monster..."

Xinghai's expression changed from stiff to stunned.

"Finally, I met humans in the other side of the world that shouldn't exist in the first place. This is really an incredible place."

After the words fell, Xiaoye tilted her head and looked at Xinghai's expression, and said cautiously: "...Sure enough, it sounds like talking in a sleep?"

What was supposed to be a brief late-night chat didn't end as quickly as the two imagined.

Under the moonlight, the purple-haired girl calmly recounted the incredible information she thought needed to be known to Xinghai, or rather to the Pokémon League.The bright moonlight sprinkled on her face, filtering out all expressions and expressions in the snow-white color - perhaps because of this, the girl looked too calm, and even seemed to be talking about other things that had nothing to do with her. People's stories.

As a questioner and listener, the young investigator recorded strange stories that were beyond common sense. At a certain moment, he suddenly realized——

Tonight may not be a peaceful night.

Both for him and more people.

The night was already dark, and when the moon reached its zenith, the conversation between the two ended.

Xiaoye gently opened the door and walked into the dormitory.The golden retriever brother and sister had already slept soundly, but to Xiaoye's surprise, Xiaotian hadn't rested yet. He was sitting by the bed, writing something under the dim bedside lamp.

Since her roommate had fallen asleep and it was inconvenient to talk, Xiaoye just cast a confused look at Xiaotian, and received a shake of her head in reply.

Before mouthing "good night", Xiaoye suddenly remembered something important.

She carefully took out the clean white down jacket from her backpack and handed it to Xiaotian with a look of relief.

"Thank you for your clothes. They have been washed."

After reading this sentence from Xiaoye's mouth shape and lowered breath, Xiaotian sighed helplessly.

Fifth time.

Do you really care to this extent?

Helpless, Xiaotian finally quietly took his clothes, put them into his backpack, and closed the notebook smoothly.

"It's late, go to sleep."

After understanding Xiaotian's mouth shape, Xiaoye nodded immediately.

"Ah, you too."

After Xiaoye buried herself in the soft quilt, Xiaotian turned off the bedside lamp.

The four people's dormitory was plunged into darkness, with only a few rays of light from the stars and moon coming through the small window on the side.Xiao Ye opened her eyes and stared at the darkness in the room.

——What kind of place is the other side, and what does everything she encounters mean?

In fact, part of the answer is already available.

During the conversation with Xinghai, Xiaoye did not elaborate on what Bulbasaur and Hua Qinglin had said and his attitude towards her.However, every minute she experienced in the giant forest was remembered by Xiao Ye and she reviewed it more than once.

When Xiaoye asked "Have we met before?", Bulbasaur Hua Qinglin answered like this.

"For you, I have never seen it."

At that time, Xiaoye didn't have time to think about it, and the topic was changed by Bulbasaur Hua Qinglin.But if you think about it for a moment, you will find that this is actually an almost explicit hint.

To me, we have never met.

Well, to you, we have met before.

You have seen me before, but I have not seen you - which is equivalent to you having seen me in the future.

The process of inference is simple and easy to understand, but the conclusion drawn is somewhat bizarre.

Could it be that Celebi felt that the gift of Ye Zhixin was not interesting enough, so he came to the door again and gave me a time travel?Xiao Ye even had this funny idea.

No matter how she thought about it, these speculations had no chance to be verified by the parties involved.

My time in the Beyond is almost over.After all, this is an unknown place that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Perhaps this is the first and last time they come to the other side.

====================

【--No. 】

[Not the first, nor the last. 】

====================

At 28:22 a.m. on April [-], Giant Tree Forest.

The giant trees rustled angrily.Its branches, leaves and roots are all turned into indestructible weapons, swinging with claws and teeth in the sky above the forest.

The thousand-year-old creature has a cold and stern expression, and there is a creepy coldness in its red eyes - it has never been a kind person since its birth. This is the true appearance of Qinglin, the second-generation guardian of the Royal Sacred Tree No. 30 .

Opposite it, the dazzling purple electric light beat and burst like a dragon.The human who controlled the thunder and lightning raised his eyes eerily, revealing a ferocious face that did not resemble a human form.

"I haven't seen you in 700 years." Qinglin's cold voice echoed in the forest, "City Lord, your current posture really makes me sad."

The human bared his teeth, hunched over, and let out a low beastly roar.It looked beyond the Bulbasaur and stared in the direction of the distant coastline.

"Lord, please don't blame me for missing our old feelings." On the back of Bulbasaur, the flower blooming toward the sky flashed a dangerous light, "I won't allow you to try to harm my best friend. Tonight, you can't even think of taking a step past here. !”

The brilliance of the stars and the moon descended, like the illusory wings behind thousands of years of beings.

"Little friends, come with me and fight!"

Countless grass-type Pokémon hid in the shadows and silently entered a fighting posture.The beautiful flower in the center took a few steps forward, with an innocent smile on her face, and the dark pupils reflected the brilliance of the blood moon above her head.

Then--

Flying leaves dance wildly, lightning flashes and thunder thunders.
