Dawn of Pokémon

??

May [-]th, evening.

The gloomy sky was filled with dark clouds.Moisture dexterously penetrates into everyone's nostrils, telling people that rain is coming.

This is not a good weather for holding a festival, but the once-a-year enthusiasm of the residents of Zhenxin Town is never extinguished by rain.The stall owners who had been prepared for this had set up awnings in front of their stalls. The colorful awnings of different sizes were connected to each other, turning the streets into a world under the colorful "sky".

The square in the middle of the street where exhibition games were held during the day has been cleaned.The dance team specially invited from Joban City danced on the high stage. The onlookers could not help but sway their bodies to the drums of the music. At some point, they turned into a group of people dancing around the stage while spinning and walking. Ring queue.

——Even Xiaoye's Pokémon joined in the dance, with a somewhat addictive attitude, so Xiaoye had no choice but to let them immerse themselves in the square dance and couldn't extricate themselves.

And over the square in the center of the street, a huge light blue light envelope enveloped the entire square.Sparse raindrops fell on the outside of the photomask, making a pleasant soft sound.

If there is no awning that can cover the entire street square, we simply use super powers to create an "awning" - this is a very new town approach.The many Pokémon in the backyard of Dr. Oak's laboratory have never been stingy about contributing their own strength. Groups of super-type Pokémon take turns on duty, and even maintaining this large cover for 24 hours is no problem at all.

The color of the night sky seen through the light mask became less dark, and the dark clouds became like soft marshmallows, continuously exuding syrup.The super-powerful light blue and countless warm-colored lights complement each other, creating an incredibly beautiful scene.

"The crimson sky is calling you~" Xiaoling sang softly along with the music that resounded throughout the square, licking the candy apple in her hand and revealing her happy crescent eyes.

"I'm now considering whether to officially move to Zhenxin Town." Xiaojie said enthusiastically, holding a cute little bunny doll that didn't match his style of painting at all - it was a prize he won from a shooting game. The moon festival is really interesting.”

"And it's delicious too!" Xiaoling added immediately.

Since the morning, the fun-loving brother and sister have dragged Xiaoye and Xiaotian to the square in the middle of the street.The dazzling array of shops dazzled everyone, and they couldn't put all the things they wanted to eat into their stomachs even though they tried their best. The rich and diverse entertainment items made time fly by quickly, and it was almost night in the blink of an eye.

Xiaoye and Xiaotian don't like running around and playing around that much, but they won't reject such a rare festival.A fluffy kitten doll was also forced into Xiaotian's hand - a prize won in a shooting game.

He didn't seem to care much about the things in his hands, and he hugged the cute doll calmly, leaving Xiaojie and Xiaoling to try hard not to laugh.

"Speaking of which, is the same song always played in the square?" Xiaoye said when she heard Xiaoling singing along.

The melody of the song is bright and warm, which really suits the atmosphere of the May Festival.However, after listening to this song for a whole day, Xiaoye now only feels that she has been a little brainwashed.

Xiaotian nodded, "This is the theme song of "Scarlet Sky". This song has been the background music of the May Festival in recent years."

Xiao Ye suddenly understood. "Scarlet Sky" is the famous work of Xiaotian's mother Yuka. Her performance of the heroine Fujiwara Fei was recognized by millions of viewers and she has since embarked on the road to becoming a famous actress.Probably because there is such an amazing star in their hometown, the residents of Zhenxin Town play the theme song of Scarlet Sky at the May Festival every year to show their pride.

Speaking of Scarlet Sky...where is the starring lady who was standing by just now?

Xiaoye looked back and saw that Yuka was asked to take a photo again.She didn't have the airs of a celebrity at all. Not only did she happily agree to all requests, but she also forced Xinghai into the photo.Fortunately, Hoshikai Akechi brought the little sea lion mask he bought from a roadside stall, otherwise the scandal of "First-class prosecutor Hoshikai Kamaba and the well-known actress Yuka Tachibana are closely related and suspected of being in a relationship" would spread around the world tomorrow.

And it caused Yuxiang to roar angrily: "We will get married early tomorrow!!!"

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask just now." Xiaojie, who was walking in front, turned back with a three-color dumpling in his mouth and asked vaguely, "Don't you think there are too many security guards nearby?"

Almost every second shop will see security guards standing on the street with alert expressions.Although they appear inconspicuous in the crowd, once you pay attention, you will find that there are so many people in uniforms that it looks like there will be a cash transport truck passing by this street soon.

"That's because this place was attacked five years ago."

Before Xiaotian opened his mouth, another gentle voice answered.All the boys and girls looked up at the young man wearing the little sea lion mask, and they all showed sympathetic expressions.

"Mr. Xinghai, are you finally released?"

"Yeah, I'm so thankful to God." Xinghai sighed helplessly, turned around and glanced at Yuka who was mingling with the female fans, and pushed up the mask, half revealing his face.

"Congratulations." Xiaoling's ponytails were raised out of curiosity. "Mr. Xinghai, did you just say that this place was attacked?"

"That's right." Xinghai nodded and told the reason why the May Festival attaches great importance to the security force.

During the May Festival five years ago, a group of criminals suspected of being poachers sneaked into Zhenxin Town and intended to attack Pokémon in the square.They wore black robes and acted strangely. Some of them not only attacked Pokémon, but also innocent townspeople, causing considerable panic.

Xinghai was not in Zhenxin Town at that time, and the poachers could not be suppressed easily with the abilities of other trainers. In the end, Yuka and Dr. Ohki, who brought Xinghai's three evil dragons, worked together to subdue all the lawless elements.Since then, Zhenxin Town has tightened security when holding the May Festival to prevent the same thing from happening again.

The May Festival is the most cherished festival by the people of the town and they have been looking forward to it for a whole year. No one wants it to be ruined.

The music played to the end gradually became lower, and then returned to the beginning a few seconds later.A bright female voice with a hint of playfulness softly sang the first line of the song.

"The crimson sky is calling you——"

"Xinghai." Hearing Yuxiang's voice, Xinghai turned around and saw his wife's depressed expression.

"We suggest the mayor change the background music next year." Yuka said with a wrinkled face.

Although this is the theme song of a TV series she has participated in, the lead actor couldn't stand it after listening to it all day.

"Pfft." Xinghai laughed out loud and couldn't help but nodded, "Ah, I agree."

"Eh...it sounds really good."

The brisk prelude passed, and Xiaoling, who was already suffering from severe poisoning and was afraid there was no cure, still hummed along with the two lines.

"Who reached the finish line first?"

"In the noisy running summer"

"Xiao Ling...you must be tired of hearing this." Xiaojie showed his weak dead fish eyes.

Everyone walked forward along the alley to the sound of music, but Xiaoye's footsteps paused without anyone noticing.

A chill flowed directly from her skull to the soles of her feet.

As a waveguide messenger, Xiaoye's range detection ability is undoubtedly her strength.Although she is not like Xinghai who can make people with the same abilities unaware, she is used to permanently deploying a certain area of ​​detection to prepare for various emergencies.

In addition, she also has an unusual detection ability——

Perception of malicious intent.

It has become almost a physical instinct.She can keenly detect who has malicious intentions towards her, which is something that the power of waveguide can never do.

But when she instinctively judged that there was filthy malice coming from behind, without distinguishing between friend and foe, but the waveguide detection revealed that it was just a pile of shabby clothes, Xiaoye stopped stiffly.

"I'm going to buy a candy apple."

Everyone had no doubts after hearing Xiaoye's voice.Their team had scattered several times during the festival. Besides, Xiaoye was a waveguide messenger and would not lose the big team.

Xiaotian glanced sideways involuntarily.

The noisy voices of the golden retriever siblings attracted his attention, forcing him to join the conversation. The short purple hair quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The cheerful music covered up the few abnormalities in the festival.

He looked like a homeless man in shabby clothing.Her slender body was covered tightly by a black robe, and only the black skin of her ankles could be seen under the robe.However, under the sight of the waveguide power, his body seemed to not exist at all, with only the fluttering black robe showing a dazzling presence.

Xiaoye could feel that this "person's" malice was not directed at anyone, but was unleashed on everyone around him without distinction.The black robe reminded Xiaoye of the attackers five years ago.

All the prisoners at that time should have been arrested and brought to justice.Maybe it's a coincidence?

Xiaoye, who was thinking this way, slowly approached the man in black robe. However, before he took a few steps, the black robe suddenly started to tremble violently.

The fierce malice in the air made Xiaoye pause.The instigator seemed to have noticed something. The black robe swayed quickly and took the initiative to disappear into the sea of ​​people.

"The destination we want to reach"

"It's an ever-changing tomorrow."

"Hide your loneliness deep in your heart"

The sound of music gradually faded away.

In the heavy rain, chasing the black robe, the needle-like malice became more and more obvious.Xiaoye, on the other hand, slowed down her pace and chased after her in a leisurely manner, as if she was afraid of disturbing the other party.

That's right, just keep going forward and stay away from the festival site.

When the noisy sound faded away from her side, Xiaoye looked back at the thousands of lights behind her.

The May Festival is the most important festival for residents of Zhenxin Town.Not only the aborigines, but also Xiaojie and Xiaoling participated in it with great enjoyment.Xiao Ye believes that this happiness should not be destroyed.

However, when the malicious holder has strayed far away from the festival and stepped into the dark forest at the back of the mountain——

There is no need to worry about anything anymore.

Crystal blue lightning bloomed underfoot, resonating with the rumbling thunder above.In just a few seconds, Xiaoye surpassed the man in black robe, and the bright sword light blocked the way forward.

"what do you"? "

she asked calmly.
